How to create a field with unlimited size (length)

Hello guys
I have to create a field in a table that holds a very long string of data (no maximum length known). Is there a way to handle this type of situation. If so what kind of field type should i be using.
Thanks
Ram

Hi Prashanth
I am an XI certified consultant with some self learning of abap and basis also. Because our company is small I am the only person incharge of our SAP work. So that is the reason I am using SDN's help in getting many of my questions answered and people have been very helpful here.
One of the members had suggested to use VARC type, but when I try to use it, it said that this is not supported anymore.
Hope to hear some feed back regarding this.
Tks
Ram

How to create a field with 1200 chars length

Hi,
Will anybody let me know how to create a field with length 1200 in a table.
Regards,
Madhavi

Hi Madhvi,
Other thing what you can do is
1. First create a Table type.
Goto SE11-> Dataelements ->Table type
There on the next screen select Predefine radio button & there provide data type & size.
2. Create a structure having a field typa of Table type created before. say that field is quant.
Now in your program refer that structure to create an internal table & work area.
Now if u append ur text to the field quant.
try creating line type of size more that 255 if it works then fine other wise reduce it.
Note:: This will be a deep structure.
so first append value to the field quant, the at the end of first record append valu to ur internal table.

How to create a field with combo or check box group in a form

1 - i created a database table messages (sender_name , date , message_type , message_body)
message type accept only COMPLAINT , SUGESSTION OR OPENION
2 - I created a form which has a field called message_type
3 - i want the message type appear in the runtime as a checkbox group or as combo box (with values COMPLAINT , SUGESSTION OR OPENION)
PLEASE GUIDE ME STEP BY STEP TO DEVELOP IT
Regards
Mohamed Hammed

Hi,
You can create another table to hold the unique values COMPLAINT, SUGESSTION and OPINION. You can then dynamically query this table in a Dynamic Page & construct the HTML code within a function like this :-
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION FN_GET_RADIO_OPTIONS
RETURN VARCHAR2
AS
ln_return_html VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
FOR rec IN ( SELECT ROWNUM,MESSAGE_TYPE FROM SCOTT.MESSAGES_TYPES )
LOOP
ln_return_html := ln_return_html || '<INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME=rd'||rec.ROWNUM||' VALUE='||rec.MESSAGE_TYPE||' />';
END LOOP;
RETURN ln_return_html;
END;
/You can then get something out of Dynamic Page like this :-
<ORACLE>
DECLARE
ln_SQL VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
ln_SQL:= FN_GET_RADIO_OPTIONS;
HTP.P(ln_SQL);
END;
</ORACLE>Of course, you do the same in a million other ways - using Java, etc - this is just an example to give you an idea.

How to create pdf files with text field data

how to create pdf files with text field data

That looks like it should work, but it doesn't.
I opened the PDF I had created from Word in Acrobat (X Pro). Went to File > Properties. Selected "Change Settings". I then enabled "Restrict editing...", set a password, set "Printing Allowed" to "none", "Changes Allowed" to "none", and ensured that "Enable copying of text..." was disabled.
I saved the PDF file, closed Acrobat, opened the PDF in Reader, and I was still able to select text and graphical objects.
I reopened the PDF in Acrobat, and the document summart still shows everything as allowed. When I click on "show details" (from File > Properties) it shows the correct settings.
Any ideas?

I am trying to create a new node. That is
CONTEXT
- DYNFLIGHT
CARRID
CONNID
As you see above I am trying to create 'DYNFLIGHT' along with the 2 attributes which are inside this node. The structure of the node that is, no.of attributes may vary based on some condition. Thats why I am trying to create a node dynamically.
Also I cannot define the structure in the ABAP dictionary because it changes based on condition

I am creating XML file using DBMS_XMLGEN package. This XML file will contain data from two different database tables. So I am creating temporary table in the PL/SQL procedure to have the data from these different tables in a single temporary table.
Please find the below Dynamic SQL statements that i'm using for create the temp table and inserting the data into it.
Before insert the V_NAME filed, i will be appending a VARCHAR field to the original data.
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE TABLE TEMP_TABLE (UNIQUE_KEY NUMBER , FILE_NAME VARCHAR2(1000), LAST_DATE DATE)';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'INSERT INTO TEMP_TABLE values (SEQUENCE.nextval,:1,:2)' USING V_NAME,vLastDate;What exactly i need is to eliminate the INSERT portion of it,Since i have to insert more 90,000 rows into it. Is there way to have the temp table created with data in it along with the sequence value as well.
I'm using Oracle 10.2.0.4 version.
Edited by: 903948 on Dec 22, 2011 10:58 PMWhat you need to do to eliminate the INSERT statement is to -- as already suggested by others - eliminate the temporary table. You don't need it. It is just necessary overhead. Please explain why you (apparently) believe that the suggestion of a view will not meet your requirements.

I need your expert opinion on how to create a map with multiple conditions.

Hello.
I need your expert opinion on how to create a map with multiple conditions.
I have a procedure (which i cannot import or re-create in OWB due to the bug), so i am trying to create a map instead :-(
How can i create a cursors within the map?
My function creates table and cursor.
Then it will have to check for duplicates in the tables (the one created and another table) - the criteria for finding duplicates is a number of fields.I then need to place few different conditions (if some attributes are not available) and it has to load cursor based on this conditions. The next step is to fetch the data into the cursor based on what attributes are missing.
The next thing it will do is insert the data into table (if record doesn't exist), output the error in separate table is record is corrupted, or update the record with changed information.
In short i need to re-create match / merge but with conditions, iterations etc 'built into' it.
I can read up on available functions - it's just what would be the best options? and what would be the best approach to do so?
In my function i use %rowtype - but cannot use it in owb - so what would be the alternative? i don't really want to create a lot of variables and then have a nightmare of maintaing it. are there any tips regarding this?
having looked through Oracle dedupe - it's not really what i need because it is just DISTINCT.
I would appreciate any help / advise on this.
Thank you very much

thanks a lot for your reply - i will look into this option :-)
it is a bit more complicated now as i have to re-create the match / merge and then somehow 'tweak' it to achieve the result i need.
At the moment i am looking to breakdown the package into smaller chunks 'functions' and try creating the map that way.
Anyway, thank you very much for your suggestion.

How to construct a calendar:

Did you consider looking at the API docs with the set() method for calendar and the field constants for the values you can set?
Although I wonder whether it's simpler to just concatenate the data to a String and parse it to a Date instance using SimpleDateFormat.
