How to limit characters

I've got DW8 retrieving a text chunk from SQL Server/ASP and
I need to
restrict it to the first 300 characters. Is there a way in DW
to do this?

Use this for your source
SELECT LEFT(mycolumn, 300) FROM mytable
Depending on the datatype of the column, you may have to
convert (CAST) to varchar first.

How to limit characters entered in JTextField

Hi,
How can we limit character entered in JTextField.
1.) I know its posssible with JFormatedTextField...
2.) I can do this by creating a child class of JTextField.....
But there must be an easy way (sun guys would have included some methods to limit characters entered)
Any one know any such methods...?
Thank You
Ashish P.J

Read the API for JTextcomponent and follow the link to the tutorial where you'll find a working example of using a DocumentFilter to achieve this.

hi, i hope you can help to me.
I have a problem with french and german characters.
i have a little stored procedure than return what i'm passing to him.
see these example: (the second one work fine on plsql)
first exemple:
1) i created a new odbc dsn
2) i'm going into sqlserver migration tab to choose
Enable Exac Syntax.
3) i'm open Winsql (this is a odbc tools)
http://www.indus-soft.com/winsql/
4) i'm write
exec ksp_test 0,'HiLLO ORACLE'
i receive this error:
Error: ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated
(State:S1000, Native Code: 6DC)
I trying to changed too the NLS_LANG in the registry
like FRENCH_CANADA.WE8ISO8859P1
French_France.WE8ISO8859P1
but without any success..
i got the same problem with
oracle 9 database with utf8 characters set.
oracle 8.1.7 with iso8859p1 characters set.
i trying all latest odbc driver from oracle website.
second exemple:
SQL> variable mytest refcursor;
SQL> exec ksp_test (0,'HiLLO ORACLE',:MYTEST);
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> PRINT MYTEST;
Your Database Value
HiLLO ORACLE
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE KSP_PLSQLRSETPKG
AS
TYPE RCT1 IS REF CURSOR;
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE KSP_TEST (
PATCH INT DEFAULT 0,
PONC VARCHAR2,
RC1 IN OUT KSP_PLSQLRSETPkg.RCT1
AS
BEGIN
OPEN RC1 FOR
SELECT PONC "Your Database Value" FROM DUAL;
FROM DUAL;
RETURN ;
END;
i'm trying also different nls setting but no good result.
AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII
AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
FRENCH_CANADA.WE8DEC
FRENCH_CANADA.UTF8
FRENCH_CANADA.WE8MSWIN1252
FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8DEC
FRENCH_FRANCE.UTF8
FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8MSWIN1252
is working well on sqlplus but not by odbc..
also..
i'm declare a variable and
i set
v_variable := 'id'
and the procedure return the good syntax...
i think is a odbc driver problem....
the driver don't want to accept a extended characters set by a parameters coming from the procedure.
can you confirm to me ..this is a major bug for the driver..
my procedure is very basic to make a little test.
did you try my procedure to be sure you have the same problem?
i try with a oracle instance utf8,WE8MSWIN1252 and
i got always the same problem.
if i write insert into test values ('di');
everything is fine...but when i call the procedure...
the procedure don't want to accept any german..french or any extended characters...
our application is working by odbc driver.
i'm pretty sure is a bug in the driver ...the bug is coming only when i select "ENABLE EXEC SYNTAX" IN THE DSN (SQLSERVER MIGRATION SECTION) ... i try with Shema Database and Owner and Empty and i got
always the same problem
exec KSP_TEST 0,'TiEST'
------------------------>>>>>>>NOT WORKING.
BUT IF I WRITE
CALL KSP_TEST (0,'TiEST')
------------------------->>>>IS WORKING
if i select enable exec or i unselect enable exec...
the CALL KSP_TEST...... is always working properly.
BETWEEN THESE SYNTAX THE NLS_LANG IS NEVER CHANGED....
IS WORKING.....THE NLS_LANG IS GOOD.......because i make a little modification in procedure to be sure the INSERT IS inside the database CORRECTLY.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE KSP_TEST
PATCH INT,
PONC VARCHAR2
AS
v_test varchar2(100);
BEGIN
v_test := 'test';
INSERT INTO YYY VALUES (PONC);
END;

How to limit the max dialog no that one user can use at the same time?

Hi,
I meet one performance problem that one user can open 6 sessions in the GUI and he/she can run 6 reports at the same time witch could occupy 6 dialogs in the sap R/3 instance. It makes poor performance for other users.
Would you pls tell me how to limit the no. of sessions one user can create at the same time or how to limit the no. of dialogs one user can occupy at the same time?
Thanks a lot!
I used this parameters in the default profile as blew:
rdisp/rfc_check 1
rdisp/rfc_use_quotas 1
rdisp/rfc_max_own_used_wp 20 (means: 20%)
It still didn't work.
Sean

Hello,
We can reserve DIA W.P by giving value to the parameter :- rdisp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp=1(default)
that have to necessarily remain free for other users.
This parameter is used to reserve a number of dialog work processes for Dailog mode.
For eg. If 10 dialog w.p. are configured for the instance(rdsip/wp_no_dia=10) and the parameter rdisp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp=3 is set,parallel RFC's can occupy a maximum of 7 DIA W.P.3 DAI W.P. always remain free for dialog mode.
But now the question is how we assign/restrict this free dialog w.p. to the specific user.

How to limit the number of items in a KPI Status list web part?

How to limit the number of items in a KPI Status list web part? There is no paging option for Business Category Status list or any limit can be made by changing the Item limit in default view unlike other SharePoint List web parts. So How to achieve it?
Kindly help.

zzzSharePoint

Hi,
According your post, I know you would like to set the item display limit in Status List web part.
In the web part, the number of items to display is based on the view which you selected when configuring the web part. The default view for status list is status list view.
However, I am not able to limit the items’ display number of the status list view. After changing the items limit, the list item displayed would not match the number specified by Item Limit. Thus, it is not possible to limit the number
of items in the Status list web part.
It could be a potential issue in SharePoint 2010.
We will log this issue to our suggestion box. As after the submission, we may not have any time guarantee when the fix may be released, but it may come out on next cumulative update.
Appreciate your time and efforts.
Thanks.

How to limit the number of items that a list control can hold?

Hi,
I am using a Flex3 List control for one of my projects.
I add drag & drop functionality to it, so that i can drag & drop elements from one control to another.
How to limit the number of items that a list control can hold / can be dropped in a list control ?
- Sen.

1. Listen for the dragdrop event on the control you are dragging onto.
2. check the length of the items in the dataprovider - if it exceeds your maximum override the default drop action with e.preventDefault(); (assuming you used e for the event on the handler).

How to limit the number of rows in a smart form , sap script.

Can anyone tell me how to limit the number of rows in the output of a sap script/smart form. I have tried "protect/endprotect" in sap script but have no idea of how to do in smart form. In sap script the only way it has happened is by reducing the size of the main window.

Hi,
In Smartform also, why dont you try reducing the size of the window if you want to limit the rows in it. Also if you are printing Line Items in a LOOP, you can write
LOOP AT T_ITAB FROM 1 TO N in the LOOP Node if you know how many records exactly you want to display in 1 Page processing.

Thanks Thomas, excellent suggestions as always.
If anybody wants more information regarding Thomas' suggestions please refer to
Oracle9i OLAP Developer's Guide to the OLAP DML for the AW Permit command.
In sumamry: To create permission programs, you define two programs with the names permit_read and permit_write. In these programs, you can specify PERMIT commands that grant or restrict access to individual workspace objects. In addition, you write these programs as user-defined functions that return a Boolean value, and the return value indicates to Oracle OLAP whether or not the user has the right to attach the workspace.
For relational security there is an excellent tutorial on the database pages of OTN, follow this link:
http://otn.oracle.com/obe/start/index.html
then follow the links for Oracle9i Database Release 9.2.0.2 - Security - Creating Label-based Access Control. This module describes how to use Oracle Label Security to setup security based on label policies
These security layers should be transparent to the OLAP metadata layer, therefore, once you have implemented your chosen security method your BI Beans application will only need to connect with the appropriate user to inherit the security layer.

I created a table that shows the first 25 of over 200.000 rows. This table is sortable. That means that I cant use the topN function to restrict the total numbers of rows.
Is there any chance mabe by using the advanced tab to limit the rows.

How to limit threads in a Java QuickSort algorithm.

With the following piece of code, I quickly run into OutOfMemory exceptions, since the code starts creating Threads exponentially. However, after waiting for a long time (for all the exception texts to print out, obviously making it slower than running it with one thread only), the program eventually ends with the correct result. Is there a way to run the code as is, but making sure that no more that x threads are running at a time?
things I have tried:
- sleeping the current thread - makes it slower than one-thread.
- looping blank while Thread.activeCount() > x - doesnt work at all
- suspending resuming threads based on the activeCount - doesnt work too
Code:
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class ThreadedSort extends Thread{
private ArrayList<Integer> _list;
     public ThreadedSort()
          _list = new ArrayList<Integer>();
     public ThreadedSort(ArrayList<Integer> List)
          _list = List;
     public void run()
          threadQuickSort();
public void threadQuickSort()
          try{
if (_list.size() < 2)
return;
Integer pivot = new Integer(_list.get(_list.size()-1));
          ArrayList<Integer> left = new ArrayList<Integer>();
          ArrayList<Integer> right = new ArrayList<Integer>();
//ListIterator iter = arr.listIterator();
          // *** optimize here
for (int i = 0; i < _list.size()-1; i++) {
               Integer next = (Integer)_list.get(i);
               if (next <= pivot)
                    left.add(next);
               else
                    right.add(next);
          ThreadedSort LeftThread = new ThreadedSort(left);
          ThreadedSort RightThread = new ThreadedSort(right);
//          System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName()+" --> "+Thread.activeCount());
//          Thread.sleep(4000);
          LeftThread.start();
          RightThread.start();
//          System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName()+" --> "+Thread.activeCount());
          LeftThread.join();
          RightThread.join();
          _list.clear();
          list.addAll(LeftThread.list);
          _list.add(pivot);
          list.addAll(RightThread.list);
          }catch (InterruptedException ie) { ie.printStackTrace(); }
          return;
public static void main(String[] args) { ///////////////////////////////////////////
          Random rand = new Random();
          ArrayList arr1 = new ArrayList();
          long before_threadedQuickSort, after_threadedQuickSort;
          try{
          FileWriter fout = new FileWriter("out.txt");
          BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(fout);
          before_populate = System.currentTimeMillis();
          for (int i = 0; i< 2000; i++){//***
               arr1.add(rand.nextInt(2000000));
          after_populate = System.currentTimeMillis();
          ThreadedSort sorter3 = new ThreadedSort(new ArrayList(arr1));
          before_threadedQuickSort = System.currentTimeMillis();
          sorter3.start();
          sorter3.join();
          after_threadedQuickSort = System.currentTimeMillis();
          bw.write("time for threadedQuickSort: " + (after_threadedQuickSort - before_threadedQuickSort)); bw.newLine();
          bw.newLine();
          arr1.clear();
          bw.close();
          }catch (Exception IOException){};
          System.out.printf("\n\n");
} //end of main
} //end of class

So you dont have to go thru the code:
Quicksort:
with one thread only I start the sorting by choosing a pivot from the initial list and then generating a left list (all values less then pivot) and a right list (all values greater then pivot).
then i recursively call quicksort with the left and right lists.
with one thread that works fine.
threadedQuickSort:
each thread object has a variable _list that keeps its list.
from the initial thread, i do generate again two lists (left and right) but then i construct two threadable objects with those lists and start them, creating for each list a new thread.
so each thread will create two new threads.
for a initial list with up to 2000 rows, that yields to the correct result although much slower than the one-threaded version. maximum number of threads ever used was around 500~600.
for a list with 20000 rows, my machine chokes at around 2600 threads. (OutOfMemory exception)
My Processor is a 8 core (each core can run up to two threads) giving me a total of 16 actual threads i can work with.
So the question is how to limit the threads that are created to 16. There is no method in the Thread class where you can specify the max number of threads in a threadgroup.
@ jverd:
I looked at ThreadPoolExecutor, but it looks kinda complicated. I see that the idea is creating a queue of jobs to be executed (which would be the different sublists (left and right lists), and then using the specified number of threads to work with the queued jobs, but im failing to understand how it works. Can you point to a simple example somewhere showing how to declare a ThreadPoolExecutor object and work with it. thanks

How to limit the number of boxes to tick in LC

I would like to know the "javascript" in Lice Cycle to limit the number of boxes ticked
for example i have 20 boxes and i would like that the client can only tick 5 boxes
thank you

Thank you Steeve
But my problem is that i don't know which boxes the client will want to tick so all boxes have to be available at the beginning.
When the client will have ticked 5 boxes in this case and only in this case, all others boxes must become unavailable so it is very difficult to set up
if you have any idea
thanks anyway

Subject: How to limit the number of boxes to tick in LC
This is a form validation issue. For example, you may have a text field and the value entered into that field determines which checkboxes must be completed to satisfy a validation or business rule. The attached sample requests the value "foobar" to be entered into a text field. If you enter "foobar" and exit the field, 2 of 3 checkboxes have the access property changed to "protected", meaning a user cannot no longer select those checkboxes.
// form1.page1.subform1.input::exit - (JavaScript, client)
if (this.rawValue == "foobar") {
form1.page1.subform1.cb2.access = "protected";
form1.page1.subform1.cb3.access = "protected";
