HOW TO RESTRICT A LOV RETURNED VALUES TO A DEFINED LIST

Within Purchasing Superuser/Agreements PO Blankets Agreement page I'm trying to restrict the LOV's for the Operating Unit field. This currently lists all the Operating Units per standard functionality.
However, I want to restrict the list of values on this field and I went into personalisation and found I could set the field to USER PERSONALIZABLE. Further zoom I get to the page as attached and here I would like to define the list of OU's to be restricted to the small set I have in mind. Is this the correct page this happens and could you point to me how I can do this ?

Pratap,
Since you want changes to the query output, just extending a Controller would not suffice. I agree that extending and thereafter substituting a VO can have impacts across. So my suggestion to you is to first analyze the impacts and in case you find tough with continuing the option, you can look at creating another VO (through Controller) and associating to the region using Controller itself. This is a complicated approach, but should suit your needs well.

How to retreive and display return value from BAPI

Hello,
I am using SUP to create a sales order application. In my MBO I have a create operation which calls a BAPI to create a sales order. How can I retrieve the return value (saled doc number) and display it on a screen and display it as an Alert of BB application.
Regards
Nidhideep Bhandari

Hi David Brandow,
I have tried your solution where I just created a MBO for my 'operation' and I'm using sync parameters to execute the RFC.
The problem I'm facing is, for example, if I create a record it gets saved in the MBO table and the record successfully gets created in SAP as well after a sync. But when I create another record and sync, the previously saved record in MBO table also gets executed so I'm getting duplicate entries in SAP.
Have you or anyone faced this problem?
Any response is appreciated. Please let me know if I'm not clear, I realized its a complicated scenario.
Thanks,
Sandeep

How can I use comma in the return values of a static list of values

Hi all,
I want to create a select list (static LOV) like the following:
Display Value / Return Value
both are "Y" / 'YY'
one is "Y" / 'YN','NY'
I write the List of values definition is like this:
STATIC:both are "Y"; 'YY',one is "Y";'YN', 'NY'
However, it is explain by htmldb like this:
Display Value / Return Value
both are "Y" / 'YY'
one is "Y" / 'YN'
/ 'NY'
I tried using "\" before the ",", or using single or double quote, but all these do not work:(
How can I use a comma in the return values?
Thanks very much!

"Better still, why not process the code of both Y with 2Y and one is Y with 1Y? "
Could you please explain in detail? thanks! I am quite new to htmldb
In fact I have a table which has too columns "a1" and "a2", both the values of these two columns are "Y" or "N". AndI want to choose the records that both a1 and a2 are "Y", or just one of a1, a2 is "Y".
So I write the report sql like this:
"select * from t1 where a1 || a2 in(:MYSELECTLIST) "
Thus, I need to use "," in the LOV, since expression list in IN(,,,) using ",".
Any other way to implement this?

How to store the return value from a select list in page item ?

I'm sorry, I'm sure you will all flame me for this (and its long too :-(. I'm still trying to pick this up and havn't had time to read manual and this forum and up against the clock (as usual), but this must be something thats simple to do, otherwise why have 2 cols on LOV (display text and return value.
normal kind of thing - master /detail, a master table and a detail table, master.id is PK in master, master.name is the name of the master item. detail.id is pk in detail, detail.mid is foreign key to master.id. I have a tabular report that displays a join of cols from master and detail, with 2 cols being links, one is a link on master.name, that passes master.id to page P1 and it displays a row from master. The other col displays detail.name and passes detail.id to page P3, P3 displays a row of the detail table.
I want to populate a LOV with possible master.name values, but display the name of the current P3_MID value (from detail.mid). Then a user can pick a different master and it needs to update P3_MID so on submit it updates the row.
I just can't seem to see in the manual how you can specify where the return value on a LOV goes?
As I said, sorry for long post and not having had time to read docs correctly - someone just point me at the subject matter somewhere, please.

Sorry, I was trying to be to complex and obviously APEX is just too damn cleaver - I figured out how this works - basically APEX pulls the LOV and then matchs the mid to it to display the correct name - simple and easy - just me making it difficult

Getter/setter methods -- how do I use the return values

I'm just learning Java, and I haven't been to this site since the end of July, I think. I have a question regarding getter and setter methods. I switched to the book Head First Java after a poster here recommended it. I'm only about a hundred pages into the book, so the code I'm submitting here reflects that. It's the beginnings of a program I'd eventually like to complete that will take the entered information of my CD's and alphabetize them according to whatever criteria I (or any user for that matter) choose. I realize that this is just the very beginning, and I don't expect to have the complete program completed any time soon -- it's my long term goal, but I thought I could take what I'm learning in the book and put it to practical use as I go along (or at lest try to).
Yes I could have this already done it Excel, but where's the fun and challenge in that? :) Here's the code:
// This program allows the user to enter CD information - Artist name, album title, and year of release -- and then organizes it according the the user's choice according to the user's criteria -- either by artist name, then title, then year of release, or by any other order according to the user's choice.
//First, the class CDList is created, along with the necessary variables.
class CDList{
     private String artistName;//only one string for the artist name -- including spaces.
     private String albumTitle;//only one string the title name -- including spaces.
     private int yearOfRelease;
     private String recordLabel;
     public void setArtistName(String artist){
     artistName = artist;
     public void setAlbumTitle(String album){
     albumTitle = album;
     public void setYearOfRelease(int yor){
     yearOfRelease = yor;
     public void setLabel(String label){
     recordLabel = label;
     public String getArtistName(){
     return artistName;
     public String getAlbumTitle(){
     return albumTitle;
     public int getYearOfRelease(){
     return yearOfRelease;
    public String getLabel(){
    return recordLabel;
void printout () {
       System.out.println ("Artist Name: " + getArtistName());
       System.out.println ("Album Title: " + getAlbumTitle());
       System.out.println ("Year of Release: " + getYearOfRelease());
       System.out.println ("Record Label: " + getLabel());
       System.out.println ();
import static java.lang.System.out;

I'm confused about getter and setter methods -- I'd like someone to explain to me what they are used for exactly and the difference between the two. I have a general idea, that getters get a result from the method and setters set or maybe assign a value to variable.

Please help and if you can explain in 'beginners terms,' with any code examples you think are appropriate. It will be greatly appreciated.

But this is something every new programmer goes through, and I will not spoil the fun. You see, in 3 to 6 months when you have learned much more Java, assuming you stick with it, you will look back at this and be like "what the hell was I thinking" and then realize just haw far you have come. So enjoy that moment and don't spoil it now by asking for what could have been better/ more efficient. If it works it works, just be happy it works.

So you are basically setting anyone up who responds to the post for a trap that could make them look bad when you double post.
You are setting you getters and setters up right as far as I can tell. Which tells me that I think you grasp that a getter lets another class get the variables data, and a setter lets another class set the data. One thing, be sure to use the full variable name so you should have setRecordLabel() and getRecodLabel() as opposed to setLabel() and getLabel(). Think about what happens if you go back and add a label field to the CDList class, bad things the way you have it currently. Sometimes shortcuts are not your friend.
And yes, you are using the getters all wrong since you are not saving off what they return, frankly I am suprised it compiles. It works because you don't really need to use the getters where you have them since the CDList Record (should be lowercase R by the way) object already knows the data and uses it in the printout() method. Basically what you are doing in lines like:
Record[x].getArtistName();is asking for the ArtistName in Record[x] and then getting the name and just dropping it on the floor. You need to store it in something if you want to keep it, like:
String artistName = Record[x].getArtistName();See how that works?
Hope this helped, keep up the good learning and good luck.

Assigning LOV return Value to multiple text items

Hi all
I have a custom form on which i have 10 text items
text item 1,text item 2 ....text item10
I have a table xx_querywith fields
text_item,query
i have inserted into the xx_query table
insert into xx_query(text_item,query)
values(text_item1,'select sysdate from dual');
insert into xx_query(text_item,query)
values(text_item2,'select sysdate-1 from dual');
I have created a record group dynamically and i am getting the query from the query column of the xx_query table into the record group(say test_rg)
I have created a LOV test_lov and thr set_lov_property i have populated the test_rg query into the test_LOV
is it possible for me to set the return item of the LOV dynamically so that i can get the LOV on the item which i want to ?
thanks

Hi All
thanks for your responses
I have Created a control item and assigned the return value of the LOV to the control item
and i have assigned the LOV to the text item that i want
Currently when i navigate to the text item the LOV is visible
but when i select a value from the LOV the value is not getting populated into the text item
I have assigned the value of the control item to the text item
but i am not sure in which trigger to write the code so as when i select the value from the LOV the value should be shown on the form populating in the text item
Thanks

JDBC - how to handle insert that returns value (bind?)

Hi,
I'm trying to do an insert into a table in an Oracle database with an auto-incrementing primary key (using a trigger and sequence) and I need to retrieve the value after the insert. From SQL*Plus, I'd enter:
var id number;
INSERT INTO mytable (name) VALUES ('foo') RETURNING id into :id;
whereupon if I do "print id", I get the value of the id field from the newly-inserted record.
The big question is how to achieve the same thing using JDBC. I've been flailing around all morning trying to figure it out and suspect it has something to do with using a CallableStatement instead of a PreparedStatement, but all of the examples I've seen so far only deal with calling stored procedures instead of raw SQL, and they all omit the part where some variable is bound to the resultset.
Assuming I want to have the Java variable (int? Integer()?) "newId" set to the value being returned by the SQL statement as "id" (or ":id"?), what do I need to do between getting the connection and looking at "newId" to see what the value returned by the statement is?
ie,
Connection conn = db.connect();
int newId;
// show me what I need to do here
System.out.println("The id of the newly-inserted record is:");
System.out.println(newId);Thanks!

This is untested:
use the executeUpdate() method from the Statement. The return value will be your result from the RETURNING id portion of your SQL statement, if not then you'll probably have to do a seperate select or/and explicit return to get the value back from SQL.

How to map AM method return values in the bean

Hello -
I have this requirement to map AM method return values in the bean as explained below. Please suggest a solution.
Scenario: I am calling an AM method, which returns a String object on page load.
AMImpl Method-
public String getProfileName (){
return "Profile";
I wish to catch this retun value in the Bean Variable on page Load. I have created a methodAction biding on page and invokeAction to call this method on Page Load, but I don't know how to catch this value in the bean. Please suggest how to achieve this. Also, I need to achieve this in jsp page. I can't use TaskFlow for this.
I am using ADF 11g.

Edited by: Rohit Makkad on Apr 21, 2010 12:23 AM

Hi, I think there are two ways, from the data control drag n drop the methods return value to the page. This way a binding for that will be created at the page definition eg retVal.
and in the backing bean you can access it by calling resolveExpression("#{bindings.retVal.inputValue}")
You can also call your method directly from the backbean
((YourAppModuleImpl) getBindings().getDataControl().getApplicationModule()).yourMethod();
public DCBindingContainer getBindings() {
return (DCBindingContainer) resolveExpression("#{bindings}");
I dont know if the second method suits you

Double Quotes In LOV Return Value Being Replaced With &qu ot; By APEX 4

My company recently upgraded our development and test boxes to APEX 4.0.2, which we have been wanting for a while now. We discovered that since the upgrade some of our checkboxes and radio groups no longer work as expected. What I mean by this is that the return values being checked for were not correct, and on several occasions we received PL/SQL errors related to numeric to character conversion issues.
After debugging some it turns out that we have the following LOV query for one of our Checkboxes:
select
statement d,
stmt_id || '" title="&P20_FORM_STMT. ' || statement || '.' r
from
stmts
The return value for the LOV is setup so that it would return a 508 compliant checkbox. We were told we needed a title for each value of a checkbox or radio group to be 508 compliant. These titles must also be relevant to the selection being made, hence the substitution string being used in the return value.
What I discovered in all of this is that APEX 3.2 did not convert the double quotes in our return value to &qu ot;, but APEX 4.0.2 does. This causes the value of any given checkbox or radio group to look like the following:
value="1&qu ot; title=&qu ot;This is the statement that I have made."
And what we are looking for, and what APEX used to do is this:
value="1" title="This is the statement that I have made."
Does anyone know a way to prevent APEX from converting the double quotes to &qu ot;, or is there a way to insert an element attribute for each checkbox or radio group value that contains a substitution string?
Thanks in advance!

4.2.1
Hi,
I have a classic report, which has a count column that is hyperlinked. using the standard apex column hyperlink option. In that we have the option of passing values. I noticed that when I am passing a value which has "/" in it, it replaces the / with & #x2F;
I have created a application item which I am populating with the report column.
Because of which I cannot use that value in the report query.
Any suggestions?Yes. Don't pass string values in URLs. Especially where it is possible for these strings to contain URI reserved or APEX sensitive characters. This might work for a while but your application can be broken months from now by users including a "&" or ":" in data that gets passed as a URL parameter. Whilst it is possible to escape strings to make them URL- and APEX parameter-safe, it is much better practice to avoid the problem altogether.
Exposing data in the URL may also introduce security vulnerabilities. Also note that the maximum length of a URL in Microsoft Internet Explorer is about 2KB, which can easily be exceeded by throwing a few string values at it.
Only use discrete alphanumeric key values as URL parameters. In target pages/regions, use these key values to retrieve the required data using item source attributes and processes.

How to disable an LOV wrt value in another LOV?

I have a javascript function that works fine if P2_BANK_ASSIGNED is a text item. But if I change it to an LOV is doesn't work. How do I disable an LOV on value of another LOV?



<script type="text/javascript">
function disBankAssigned(){
var lReturn = $x('P2_TRIAL').value;
if (lReturn == 0 ) {
     $x('P2_BANK_ASSIGNED').readOnly = false;
else {
     $x('P2_BANK_ASSIGNED').readOnly = true;
</script>
onchange="disBankAssigned();"

Try $x('P2_BANK_ASSIGNED').disabled = true;     (or false)

List Manager based on LOV returning values with missing spaces

I am using a list manager based on a pop up lov, in this case it is a list of supplier names. When the pop-up list is shown the values are displayed as expected, with all spaces intact. When I click the supplier name, and then click Add to add to the list manager, all spaces in the supplier name are lost.
The field I'm pulling is a varchar2 in the db. Here's the sql behind the lov:
select '(All Suppliers)' d, '(All Suppliers)' r from rep_gy_spend
union
select distinct supplier_name d, supplier_name r
from rep_gy_spend
order by 1
Any ideas on why the spaces are lost?

DJ - There is a javascript function on the page that does that. View page source and you'll see it. You could override it with your own and change that behavior and you could prevent it from upper-casing the returned values as well by using different onclick javascript on the add button.

Can a single LOV return values to two different fields?

Hi,
I have a scenario where I already have a LOV in the form which is assigned to a Field A. This LOV returns the value to field A. I have another field B which needs the same list of values. I can assign the same LOV to the field B as well, but can the value selected be returned to B?
I can create another LOV with the same record group, but just wanted to know if its possible to use the same LOV again.
Thanks

Hi Karuna,
You can achieve this by providing a third column in LOV (whose column width can be set to 0 to prevent it from being visible in lov) which can be comma-separated of two fields. This third field can then be assigned to the form field. And a substr() function call can get you both values.
Hope this helps,

Return Value of a Select List with Submit

I have a Select List with Submit (P8_COLOR) which I want to use to filter the data in my report.
P8_COLOR has 3 static values ALL, RGB, BYP that return ALL,RGB and BYP.
When the page is submitted, my SQL Query (PL SQL function body returning SQL Query) does not recognize the return value. I can assign the return value to a different textfield and can see the correct value being assigned.
My PL SQL looks like below...
IF :P8_COLOR = 'RGB' THEN
q := q || ' AND COLOR_ID in (1,2,3)
END IF;
I am not a PL SQL expert and wonder whether the IF condition is correct. Would appreciate any help with this.
Thanks,
Ghazi

Thanks Jes. That worked.
Would you know why :P8_COLOR didn't work? What is the difference between using :P8_COLOR and v('P8_COLOR')? I am using :P8_XXXX for another Select List that only checks for null and that works. The one where I am checking for the return value doesn't work.
Thanks again.
