How to Limit the user to enter in Array

Hii Friends'
I am having 1 array control in front panel .In which the user will enter the values.... now actually in real time i will visible upto 20 elements in the array control ...But the user have to enter only 5 elements in the array ....how to restrict them.........

Will the array ever containg more than 5 elements? If so, would you want to have more than 5 elements to be shown? If you could have 6 elements shown, would you want the user to still be restricted to only editing the first 5?
You can resize your array on the front panel so that only 5 elements are shown. Then right click on the array, Visible Items, and remove the check mark from index display. Now they are restricted to seeing 5 elements and have no means of indexing the array on the front panel to get to any others.
If your use case is more complicated than that, then you will need to explain it more so that a programmatic way can be devised to allow or disallow editing of other elements.

How to restrict the user to enter only numeric values in a input field

How to restrict the user to enter only numeric values in a input field.
For example,
i have an input field in that i would like to enter
only numeric values. no special characters,alphabets .
reply ASAP

Hi Venuthurupalli,
As valery has said once you select the value to be of type integer,once you perform an action it will be validated and error message that non numeric characters are there will be shown. If you want to set additional constraints like max value, min value etc you can use simple types for it.
On the project structure on left hand side under local dictionary ->datatypes->simple types create a simple type of type integer
The attribute which you are binding to value property ;make its type as simple type which you made
Hope this helps you

How to rescrict the user to enter a manual condition type once in pricing

Hi All,
We are using a condition type ZSP1 in our pricing procedure. I want that the user should be able to enter the condition type only once during pricing.
eg Suppose the user has entered ZSP1 as 100 in the sales order , then he should not be able to enter ZSP1 again in the pricing. Only one entry should be allowed for the condition type ZSP1
Please respond if you need any further clarification.

How to force the user to enter a value in the prompt

Is there a way to force the user to enter a value in the prompt before they run the report?
We have a customer specific dashbaord. The user has to enter a customer number in Dashbaord prompt on a first page of the dashboard. We store that value in a presentation variable. That presenatation variable value is being referenced in all the other pages of the dashabord. If the user does not enter a values in the first page and directly navigates to the other pages on the dashbaord, the reports on the other pages start to run for all the customers. Is there a way to force the customer to enter a value in the prompt before running any of the reports on the dashboard?
Thanks!

by Answer prompts, do you mean Column prompt?
I can not use Column prompt in this senario as the user should not have to enter the same customer number over and over again when he navigates from one page to another on the same dashboards. If there is a way to default the column prompts then this would be an acceptable solution.
I have already defaulted the prompt to a value as suggested in hte blog, but the issues occurs when the user erases the defaulted value. Is there are way to set the default value within the report?
Can you please explaing mroe about option 3 regarding Java Script. Also please let me know what other options there are so that I can check whether they will fit my needs.
Thank you very much!

How to limit the user to access the survey only one time

Yes:

How to customize SAPlogon so that the user cannot enter transaction code?

I use PFCG to create a role which limit the choices of menu. I create a user and set the role to the user.
I would like to disable or hide the COmmand Field so that the user cannot enter transaction code directly.
Is it possible to do so?
If yes, would anyone show me how?
Any discussion is welcome.

anyway you are going to restrict the user authorization vai role, insted of going throught the whole tree to execute the tcode there is shotcut as command line. here you can save much more time for the user insted going through the tree always. there is no harm for the system if you keep the command line option. What and why you think it should be disabled?

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 get the user entered data?

Hi all,
I have created an HTMLB DynPage component.
In That i have created my input screen with textboxes using response.write method.
i have added one onConfirm event on which the data whould validate.
so onConfirm method im trying to get the data with request.getParameter method which returns null...
how to do...how to get the user entered data to do my validations...can anyone plz advice.
Thanks,
Viswes

Hi
inputfield or textbox component entered directly using response.write(...) are not htmlb , but html.
to create portal input field (ie HTMLB), you should do something like
this in the doProcessBeforeOutput member function
InputField field1 = new InputField("Id1");
field1.setSize(8); // 8 characters
this.getForm().addComponent(field1);
and in doProcessAfterInput member function
InputField field1 =
(InputField) this.getComponentByName("Id1");
you can then manipulate the content of the field.
Hope this help,
Guillaume

How to ristric the user when data enter in lov column.

Hi all,
i have one page,page having lov column and submit button.
here user select the value in to lov column and click on the submit button details ll be displayed.
but user did not select the value in to lov means user enter the value in manually and click on the submit button at that time lov window ll be open.so how to ristric the user.plz help me its very urgent.
Thanks
Seshu.

Hi,
What is your requirement?
You want to validate value entered by user in LOV field or not?
If yes, then this the correct behavior.
In no, you can disable client validations. In this case the value entered won't be validated against the LOV vo and value will be stored in the vo attribute mapped to LOV bean.

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";

How to limit the number of characters?

How can the number of characters typed on a component (for example a multi line text area) limited? (such a way if the limit reaches then the keyboard should not be responded)
This is very common in Internet application development but I don't know how this can be easily achieved by JSC?
Thank you very much.

Hi,
In the properties sheet, under the data section, the length validator is available. The length validator does not stop the user from entering after the max length has been reached. Once submitted the validator will be invoked and an error message displayed. An RFE has been filed on your behalf for the same.
Thanks
Cheers

How to capture the user change in an input field on a selection screen?

I am coding a selection screen in which there are two input fields. The first field takes a Unix directory from the user input. Based on the input value, the second field will be populated with a the name of a file under the corresponding directory.
My question is how I can make the program capture the user input without having to make the user press ENTER after they enter the value in the first field?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Venkat,
Actually you led me to the real solution! It's the function module DYNP_VALUES_READ that does the trick for me. This function enables the program to capture dynamic user changes without recourse to PAI. Please refer to the code below:
