How to define maximum field width on an updatable report

I have an updatable report.
From a user's perspective, this is a form in my app. How can I define the maximum number of characters the user can enter into a field?
I tried entering the following into the report column's element attributes, but none of these worked:
width=10px
width:10px
max-width=10px
max-width:10px
I don't know why the Tabular Form Element section allows to define Element Width and Number of Rows, but not the maximum width.
Thanks
Boris

Hi Boris,
If your updateable report is created by using a wizard than its not.
You could use the apex_item.text api which allows for setting the max field width.

How can I modify column width in a spreadsheet report without using an Excel template

I currently use the LabVIEW Report Generation toolkit in LabVIEW 2011SP1 to create simple spreadsheet reports that I can build/print without having Microsoft Office products installed. I really like being able to do this, and it allows me to generate nice on-demand data reports - I'm also not tied to having Office installed on the system I'm using, so this works on just about any test fixture I can install the software on.
I recently have a requirement that I must have variable-length columns in my report. I currently use the VI "Append Text Table to Report" in order to create a text table, but the column width requirement is that all columns must be equal width UNLESS I use an Excel Template file to define my column widths.
My questions are:
Is it possible to create a text table and define per-column widths without using an Excel Template? If so, how? My report mainly has a lot of small numerical values for the columns, but some columns contain system names or status messages - I really hate the longer text blocks wrapping and taking up so much real-estate when if I could control the column widths I can get all my data on a single line.
I'll admit I haven't tried this myself yet, but if I use an Excel Template will that require me to have Excel installed on the PC in order to print/generate reports?
Is there a recommended way (with an example) of generating a text table in a report with or without using the "Append Text Table to Report" VI that allows me to have custom column widths that doesn't require me to manually build a custom print page? If I do have to create a custom print page, what would be the most straightforward approach?
Thanks!
-Danny

Sure, I'll provide a pared down example that demonstrates my use-case:
I have a control to the VI that takes in a 2D array of strings representing the data I want printed in a table. I am generating a standard report, adding a table to the report, and printing it. The first VI is "New Report.vi", the second VI is "Append Table to Report.vi", and the third is "Print Report.vi", all found standard in the Report Generation palette.
Note that the "Append Table to Report.vi" has an input parameter "Column Width" with a default value of (1). This input parameter is a single input parameter, which defines the column widths of ALL the columns in my table - hence, with the VI the way it is, all my columns will be 1 inch wide.
I find myself needing to be able to define per-column widths, not just a single global column width parameter.
The only way I have found to do this is by using an Excel template file. The "New Report.vi" takes in a "template" parameter, and if used, the report generation toolkit can be set to ignore the "Column Width" input parameter on the "Append Table to Report.vi" by setting the width value to -1. Instead it will launch Excel, open the template file provided, build the table using the template, will close Excel, and will attach the generated table to the report. However, I have a strict requirement that Microsoft Office NOT be required to be installed on the computer.
So, without using Excel, is there a way to generate a table in a report and define the width of each column individually?

How to refernce the field in the cross-tab report

Hello,
I'm trying to refer to the field in the cross-tab report using GridRowColumnValue function.
The field name in formulas is DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Completed, so I'm trying to refer like this:
GridRowColumnValue("DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Completed")
I'm getting:
"This is not the name of a grid group for the field being formatted."
I've tried different way - gave the name of the field, for instance, or used the name form the Cross-tab expert - Max of DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Completed, or simply use "Completed" - nothing worked.
I see the possible cause for it. DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Completed is not a row or column name, in the Cross-tab expert this is a Summarized field. How to reference the field like this correctly?
Thank you,
Peter
Edited by: Peter Afonin on Feb 17, 2009 9:52 AM

Oh I thought it is
ROW: Product Name
COLUMN: Anticipated Date, Completed
SUMMARIZED FIELDS: Product Stage
Anyhow try to move the Completed field above the Anticipated Date in SUMMARIZED FIELDS by clicking up arrow.
Now right click on the field Completed go to format field-->write the suppress condition like this
WhilePrintingRecords;
boolenavar i;
i:=CurrentFieldValue;
false
Now right click on the Anticipated Date field and go to font and write the condition for color like this
WhilePrintingRecords;
boolenavar i;
If CurrentFieldValue >= CurrentDate Then
crGreen
Else If CurrentFieldValue < CurrentDate And i=False Then
crRed
Else
crBlack
I hope this helps!

How to define maximum base value for vehicle.

Hi.
Could you clearify me why I can't fix maximum value for vehicles (1,000,000)
I already did configure as below:
IMG>> FI >> Asset Accounting >> Depreciation >> Valuation methods >> Dep key >> Caculation method >> Define maximun amount method
then assign to asset class by
IMG>> FI >> Asset Accounting >> Depreciation >> Valuation methods >> further setting >> Define maximun base value
after that I test maximum value and display value but I found that amount that use to calculate dep dosen't be 1,000,000
where is the mistake and how can I fix it ?
Thank you in advance
Best regards,
Utarat.

Hi Utarat,
I assume you have linked this maximum amount methods to the depreciation key   > AFAMA (V_T090NA-METHBT).
Please check also the amounts entered as maximun amount and if you have flagged the fiels XKUMU (read the documentation on it F1)
Have you set any maximun base value that can affect the calculations (Transaction OAW2)?
Note 1048448 could be helpful.

How can i change field width in ALV report

hello,
i have to modify vendor payment list. it is a ALv report
proble is that when i gave vendor acc range for any month (range of posting date) it shows list,
but for february it show run time error
error description- the resulting values are too large for the designated field.
for posting dates 1.02.2009 to 25.02.09 it shows list. but when i gave posting date after 25 it doesnt show list.
just i cant understand how to solve it.
thanks in advance,
Anuradha.

Hi...
Best option is first deside which format you want to put in that date field...
then before filling internal table do one thing format that date field and then add into ur internal table which u later will use to show in ALV Grid Report...
Example...Suppose you want DD.MM.YYYY
then use
concatenate Fieldname0(2) Fieldname2(2) Fieldname+4(4) into Fieldname...
This way you can format the date in any format with proper logic. and ur problem getting solved

How to determine maximum field size?

Hello!
Here's my problem...
I have a rather large CSV file which I have loaded into Numbers, but now i need to work out what the maximum size of each field is.
There are far too many rows for me to just look through the CSV file (it's got a few hundred thousand lines in it), so i was hoping there was an easy way for Numbers to just tell me what the maximum size of each column is -- maybe some kind of formula that i can put at the end of each column.
just to be clear, i don't need the maximum value in each column, i need the maximum character length...
thanks for your help (and a happy new year!)

Craig,
That's an awful job for Numbers. Numbers 2 won't accommodate that many rows, and Numbers 3 I'm not sure about, but in any case it will be very slow. The general belief is that Numbers 3 is faster than Numbers 2, but in my experience it's like a race between a turtle and a slug. This would be a better job for a little BASIC routine, the sort of thing I can remember doing easily "back in the day", but which I wouldn't know where to begin now with the tools I know about in the Mac environment.
I think LibreOffice might handle it - no promises. The brute force way would be to have a second table the same size as the first and filled with the expression: =LEN(cellAddress), where cell address is a reference to A1 in the input table, and so forth. The expression =MAX(full range of length calculations table) should give you the largest entry length.

How to add extra fields in xml for BI report

Hi ,
I am trying to create a po print report .
I took oracle standard po print program , Cloned it with output as xml and based on that i am creating the layout for my po print report using xml publisher word doc tool . Now In the oracle po print rdf there is no field like requestor email,phone numbers. I want these two fields on my po print .How can i get those fields .If i see requestor portion in xml its as below
<LIST_G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
<G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
<ONE_REQUESTOR_NAME>FRANK, SCOTT</ONE_REQUESTOR_NAME>
          </G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
</LIST_G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
but I want some thing like
<LIST_G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
<G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
<ONE_REQUESTOR_NAME>FRANK, SCOTT</ONE_REQUESTOR_NAME>
               <ONE_REQUESTOR_PHONE>select 123456</ONE_REQUESTOR_PHONE>
               <ONE_REQUESTOR_FAX>111111111</ONE_REQUESTOR_FAX>
               <ONE_REQUESTOR_EMAIL>[email protected]</ONE_REQUESTOR_EMAIL>
</G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
</LIST_G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
How can I achieve this ...should I make a change in standard RDF for this or is there a way we can pull these details in xml itself ??
Please help .
Regards,
Chandra

I was just think on the same line if we can manage to fetch additional fields like phone number, email address of the requestor by writing a pl/sql in xml itself .But i see that atleast the requestor name should be passed into that query in case there is a way to do it .
Hopefully the change to rdf is the option .
Thanks Srini for prompt response.

How can I change Fields Font in Designer 6i - Report module

Module is created in Designer 6i and I am also using Headstart template for the report.
I was unsuccesful in changing the field font.
Can anyone help me with this matter?
Thank you
Daniel

Hi,
I think changing the font in the Paramater form for the LOV is not possible. Long back there was
an enhancement request filed for this , i don't think that is implemented yet.
Prabably you have to have as a workaround is make a pramform out of Oracle Forms.
