How to print a request variable in the name of a section?

Hello all,
I have a session variable created in the RPD called VarWorstStore
and I have a prompt which sets a request variable with the same name.
Now when I put a report which is filtered on this variable then I can see that the variable is changing when I press go in the dashboard prompt.
However, I call this variable in a section as well (go to page options - edit dashboard and click on rename of a section)
Now I type: @{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.VarWorstStore']} and check the box Display section heading.
Now when I save the dashboard I can see the value of the session variable. However, when I change the session variable with the prompt, thenb I can see that the report is changing, but the title isn't.
Can anyone help me on this? My reference on this was: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f689sAiiG-E/SKv8Fxu7wNI/AAAAAAAAAPk/pppwQ1DdEhg/s1600-h/obi-ee-variables-overview.jpg
I think it is a bug, but perhaps someone knows
OBIEE version:
Build: 10.1.3.4.1.090414.1900
Release Version: Oracle Business Intelligence 10.1.3.4.1
Package: 090414.1900

Thanks for all your responds!!
However, I was thinking in first instance on a narrative view myself indeed, however this is not good enough for me, because I really have an almost pixel perfect dashboard.
But the thing with the prompt works!!! What I have done is making an extra prompt with the default value set to the session variable and then I set a presentation variable in the same prompt, and after that I am filtering the reports on the presentation variable in stead of the session variable.
But I cannot find anywhere where to hide the prompt, can you tell me this?
The only way I can hide things is to set permissions I gues, but then I also guess is that the prompt will do not do its tasks when the user has no permissions to this prompt.
Hope you can help me out on this last part!!

How to print Spool requests for cheque printing sequentially

Dear All,
I am making vendor payments and printing cheques using F-58. It automatically creates a spool requests at the end of the transaction. When i complete all my payments and go to SP01 for viewing spool requests, the last request appears at the top of the list.
If i select 3 consecutive requests and print them at a time, the last request gets printed first on the first cheque number and the first request gets printed on the last cheque number.
This results in anomaly in the cheque number assigned in the system and the printed cheque as the last payment is printed on the first cheque.
I am using dot matrix printer with page format fixed for cheque specifications. The cheques are printed properly as per the format except the order of printing.
Kindly let me know how to print multiple requests sequentially from the spool requests list such that the spool request number printed matches with the serial cheque numbers.
Regards,
SAP_2009

Hi,
I understod your issue.
Whenever you posted multiple payment documents, and after that if you want to take cheque printouts sequentially by using more spool requests.........there is a way to sort out this issue.
1) Select all of your spool requests and click on Sort in ascending Order (CtrlShiftF5) and click on Print directly (CtrlShiftF8). By doing this you will get the cheque printouts sequentially according to your payment document sequence.
Hope this will help you
Assign ********, if it solved your problem.

How do I set a variable on the main timeline from within a symbol?

Just getting started with Animate and coming to it from Flash, as may be apparent from my question. How do you set a variable to the main timeline from within a symbol?
I have 24 pairs of clickable elements, each in their own symbols, and all 24 of those symbols sit inside another symbol. I want all 24 to be able to set the same global variable when clicked. I can't find that this question is addressed anywhere, which makes me think I may be stuck in a Flash mindset and approaching the task in the wrong way. (There are however MANY discussions of how to address objects at different levels in the hierarchy. That's well covered.)
Relatedly, how do you access a function on the main timeline from within a symbol?
Adobe should consider putting together a support page (or pages) just for folks migrating form Flash. In the materials I've encountered so far there seems to be a studied effort to refrain from mentioning Flash in any way. I imagine there are a lot of people out there like me who have a deep background in Flash coding, but are just getting started with Animate. We don't need help with most of the basic concepts, but we may still have some pretty basic questions about how to accomplish some things in Animate because our Flash knowledge is getting in the way.

Hi Bill,
There are plenty of threads on here about scope, but here's one way to create a global variable:
// code on Stage.compositionReady
sym.myGlobalVar = 1;
Then, anywhere in your project, you can check/set that var like so:
sym.getComposition().getStage().myGlobalVar = 2;
And here's one way to create a global function:
// code on Stage.compositionReady
sym.myGlobalFunction = function(){
console.log('myGlobalFunction');
Then, anywhere in your project, you can call that function like so:
sym.getComposition().getStage().myGlobalFunction();

How can I pass environment variables to the child process?

How can I pass environment variables to the child process? This is what I tried and it didn't work.
     static public void main (String[] args) throws Exception {
          ProcessBuilder b = new ProcessBuilder("java", "-cp", ".", "Child");
          Map<String, String> map = b.environment();
          map.put("custom.property", "my value");
             b.redirectErrorStream(true);
          Process p = b.start();
          BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
          String line = null;
          while (null != (line = reader.readLine())) {
               System.out.println(line);
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          System.out.println("The value of custom.property is : " + System.getProperty("custom.property"));
     }and the result is:
The value of custom.property is : null

Complete test:
     static public void main (String[] args) throws Exception {
          ProcessBuilder b = new ProcessBuilder("java", "-Dcustom.property=my property value", "-cp", ".", "Child");
          Map<String, String> map = b.environment();
          map.put("custom.property", "my environment value");
             b.redirectErrorStream(true);
          Process p = b.start();
          BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
          String line = null;
          while (null != (line = reader.readLine())) {
               System.out.println(line);
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          System.out.println("Property value of custom.property is : " + System.getProperty("custom.property"));
          System.out.println("Environment value of custom.property is : " + System.getenv("custom.property"));
     }

How to print out multilingual reports from the main report using Xliff temp

Hi all,
How to print out multilingual reports from the main report using Xliff temp?
When I want main report call subtemplate and finish xliff tranlation
<?for-each@section:INVOICE?><?end for-each?>
<?import:xdo://XXIH.XXNR_XXINVPRINT_SUB.en.FI/?>
<?start:body?><?call:Header?><?call:Line?><?call:Weights?><?call:Banks?><?end body?><?call:Footer?>
Prints out fine with Finnish translation
But if I want in main program to check what language is used e.g.
if trx_number = 142 call Finnish translation and if trx_number =144,
call English translation.
<?for-each@section:INVOICE?><?end for-each?>
<?if:TRX_NUMBER=’142’?>
<?import:xdo://XXIH.XXNR_XXINVPRINT_SUB.en.FI/?>
<?start:body?><?call:Header?><?call:Line?><?call:Weights?><?call:Banks?><?end body?><?call:Footer?>
<?end if?>
<?if: TRX_NUMBER=’144’?>

<?start:body?><?call:Header?><?call:Line?><?call:Weights?><?call:Banks?><?end body?><?call:Footer?>
<?end if?>
Prints out always in English and never the Finnish translation.
Program goes fine to if branch but does not print out Finnish
Does anybody know what could be wrong?

How do I delete an Icon from my desk top from Print Shop? It has the name rTmpFile4.

How do I delete an Icon from my desktop from Print Shop? It has the name: rTempFile4.

Open iTunes on your iMac.
In the lefthand column of the iTunes window that opens, under Library, click on Apps. A window will open that will show all the Apps you've downloaded. If you downloaded the App via the iPad, you will have needed to sync the iPad and the iMac previously for the App to be listed. (I think)
Click on the App you want to delete, then press the Delete key on your keyboard. A window will open asking you to confirm that you want to delete the app. Click the confirm button.
Good luck.

How to print pdf file not using the the adobe reader ?

hello,
i used the adobe sdk to open a pdf file in read and modify it serveral times and each time save it to another directory,and now i need to write a program to print the pdf file in this directory.when print the file,i want to continue my work also,so who i tell me how to solve this problem?
thanks.

The SDK is only a collection of documentation and headers that show you how to interact with and automate Adobe Acrobat and to some extent Adobe Reader. You need a copy of Acrobat or Reader installed on the system in order to use any of the SDK functions. You cannot "print not using the Adobe Reader", unless you have Adobe Acrobat installed on the system instead of Reader.

How to print Arabic text along with the English in smartform ( ECC6 version

Hi All,
our is ECC6 version, Non unicode, ABAP stack ( not dual stack )
is it possible to print in Arabic language in the above version ?
if yes, then please let me know how to print Arabic text and English text in the same smartfrom.
i tried in the following procedures :
1) i created standard text (SO10) in arabic language.
i called in the smartform ( include text - i )
langage AR
but system throws error message saying, required language is not installed.
2) if i use READ_TEXT function module.
text getting printed in diff format but not in arabic.
waiting for your replies..

ECC6 and Non-Unicode? I think you'll need multiple code pages, I doubt there's a mixed Arabic/Latin1 available. And I don't think SAP supports new MDMP systems any more. If you need to support multiple languages you really need to go Unicode. It's probably easier to do the Unicode conversion than to try to support multiple code pages and you have to make the switch eventually.

How to print out a date from the past

I am trying to print out a date from the past but I cant seem to get It,
Lets use for example Independece Day,
How would you write the code in order to print out that exact date?

Look at the
[url=http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/index.html?
java/util/Date.html]Date APIActually the Calendar class would be better to use, since you can set all the different fields from year to second, plus things like day of week, day of month, week of year, etc.
too slow
