How to escape '@' character in report text object?

I'm trying to add a text box to a report and the text contains the @ character.  When I add this character, DIAdem interprets it as a command call and messes up the displayed string.  Is there a way to escape this special character?
Thanks!
James

Hi James,
You can use the following syntax:
This is the @@char(64)@@ character

  • How to Change behavior of standard text object&text ID (SE75)?

    Hello there!!
    I'm struggling with this:
    For standard text object C_SHES_ACH & ID 0001 (EHS: IHS Safety Measures) wichs is used as a description for safety measures (CBIH82/CBIH02..) need that when the user create or edit the text, already appears a "Fill in the blanks"  form.
    For example, in CBIH82, editing an accident log, I go to Safety measures Button, then create a safety meassure, and when i click for long text description something like this should appear:
    TEXT 1 (1st Title)
    user line
    user line
    user line
    user line
    (free amount of user lines)
    TEXT 2 (2nd Title)
    user line
    user line
    user line
    user line
    (free amount of user lines)
    Thanks a lot for your feedback!
    Rgds!!

    Hii,
    I am unable to understand exactly wat you want.
    But for free amount of lines : Keep that text under LOOP. Right click on template or window and create a loop and under that loop keep the text ,you can get many lines. or the given below point plzz follow.
    1,Use SO10 Tcode to write standard text in Smartform.
    2.For long text
    method1
    Create TEXT node- general attributes change text type to include text
    then you can input text name/text object/text id/language
    method2
    create PROGRAM LINE node - use FM READ_TEXT to read it to a internal table
    then use LOOP or TABLE node to display it
    For TEXT module(For foreign language)
    Tr-code:smartforms -- choose Text module(not choose form)--create a text module object
    then enter smartform Create TEXT node- general attributes change text type to text module
    input the text module name which created by above
    3.
    1. take function module name of the smartform.
    2. goto se37 and type that fm name.
    3. goto attributes tab
    4. double click on either program or include .
    5. There u can find all the subroutines used inside smartform.
    6. search for "perform %move using %textkey-name".
    4.Standard Texts are created in SO10 Tcode and stored in STXH table with OBject ,ID and NAME parameters. We can use Read_Text FM to read the text.
    check the tables STXH & STXL.
    5.
    How to CAll Standard Text in Smart Forms
    In SFs you can insert the standard tests using the TEXT node. Create a TEXT NODE. Then in the GENERAL ATTRIBUTES of this TEXT node select INCLUDE TEXT in the TYPE option. Then you have to enter the text name, object , ID and language in the provided fields. Then if you dont want any error if there is no text in the corresponding text then CHECK the check box "No errors if no text available.

  • How to escape "&" character ?

    I want to execute the following statement in sqldeveloper
    select '&sdfas' from dual
    and expect the outcome to be the string "&sdfas"
    but sqldeveloper keep asking me for the value of "sdfas" argument, and replace it.
    I use sqldeveloper to run sql script to patch many pl/sql packages in my company. The packages, unfortunately, contain some "&" characters in rather critical position. And my last few days is spent chaotically trouble-shooting this.
    Any method to escape "&" character ? I tried to export DDL with sqldeveloper itself but the outcome is still not being escaped properly.

    Sake,
    You can use the following to escape the &:
    set define off
    It's also possible to set another character to use for substitution variables.

  • Querying text objects

    Hi. In the Photoshop SDK, is it possible to iterate through each character of a "text object" and query for it's absolute position in the image file? Also, is it possible to extract the font information, ie. font name, point size, etc.
    I've never used the SDK before. I've scanned through the documentation PDF, but I can't see anything that would do this. I'm probably just being blind though! :)
    Cheers for any info,
    Dan.

    See the automation plug-in type and the listener and getter examples. The getter example will show you how to retrieve information about all things in photoshop. See classDocument. The listener will show you how to create things.

    Hi,
    There are two ways you can print it. When you set the DES_TYPE system parameter to PRINTER, then that report gets printed on the Application Server. And If you use the Browser's print... feature, then that report gets printed on the Printer connnected to browser machine.

  • How to create a text object at runtime?

    Hi,
    I am using crystal reports for visual studio 2010 and using c# to programming.
    I need to create  a text object in a specific section like section 2. and also I need to control the text object's position and text.
    I tried to move a object like:
    reportDocument1.ReportDefinition.Sections[j].ReportObjects<i>.Left = 0x8760;
    but object's position doesn't change at all.
    How can I do these (create a text object and change a object postion)?
    Thanks

    Hi Don,
    Thank you.
    I have downloaded a RAS ( report application Server ) sample.
    The sample uses the Business Objects Enterprise XI release 2. I am using win 7 and crystal reports for vs2010. Can I use this version of crystal reports to create  a text object at runtime? If not, what is the lowest version I have to purchase to achieve what I want?
    Basicly I need following capabilities at runtime:
    1) craete text objects, line objects, image objects.
    2) change text object, line object and image object positions, sizes, values of text object. If can I like to be able to change font as well.
    3) supress objects, sections. 
    4) change section's height

    This is how you retrieve all the text fields in the reort:
    ReportObjects reportObjects = (ITextObject) oReportClientDocument.getReportDefController().getReportObjectController().getReportObjectsByKind(ReportObjectKind.text);
    for(int i=0; i< reportObjects.size();i++)
    ITextObject textObject = (ITextObject)reportObjects.get(i);
    // use ReportObjectController to modify the text object.
    If you want to modify the contents of the text element, you can do it as follows:
    TextObject oTextObject = new TextObject();
    Paragraphs oParagraphs = new Paragraphs();
    Paragraph oParagraph = new Paragraph();
    ParagraphElements oParagraphElements = new ParagraphElements();
    ParagraphTextElement oParagraphTextElement = new ParagraphTextElement();
    oParagraphTextElement.setText("This is the new text field");
    oParagraphTextElement.setKind(ParagraphElementKind.text);
    oReportClientDocument.getReportDefController().getReportObjectController().modify(textObject, oTextObject);
    oReportClientDocument.save();

  • Localization of text objects in Crystal Report RPT file

    Dear all,
    Does anyone know how support multiple locale text (English and French) in one single Crystal Report RPT file.  Is there a way to parameterize  text objects (including tiles, axis,  of chart) in the Crystal Report RPT files to use some sort of locale resource file containing text string for different languages based on the users of RPT at runtime? The idea is to use one single RPT file to generate report for different locale text instead of creating RPT file per locale. For example, inserting a text object  in RPT file and it has text "Welcome" in English and use the same RPT file and parameterize that text object's text with a resource file and the text of that object will retrieve the proper localized text from that resource file at runtime based on the user's locale setting.

    Easiest way is to place duplicate copies of charts in split sections.
    If you have a chart in a group footer, split into two sections place English chart in one and french in the other.
    In section expert suppress section based on language field in database. You can do same with Text box or you can over lay two text boxes one in english one in French and then format text box to suppress depending on language. Looks really messy in designer but will be fine in Preview.
