How to restrict the length of input field

Hi,
How to restrict the length of input field. That is we should not be able to enter more thatn 10 charecters.
Regards,
H.V.Swathi

Hi swathi,
For this you have to create a simple data type. No need of writing a code.
Go to Dictionaries -> Local Dictionary -> Data Type - > Simple Type - > Right click and "Create Simple Type".
Here you should create a Simple type with String as built-in Type. Here you will also see the Length Constraints option.
Set the value of maximum length and minimum length. In your case set the value of maximum length to 10. At runtime this will not allow the user to enter more than 10 characters.
Now create an attribute and bind it to this newly created simple type. Bind the value of the input field with this particular attribute.

How to restrict the length of the input?

Hi all, could any one tell me how to restrict the length of the input string? My SOA Suite is 10.1.3.1
I tried the following; getting an error.
<element name="RestrictLengthProcessRequest">
<simpleType name="SSN">
<restriction base="string">
<length value="10"/>
</restriction>
</simpleType>
where RestrictLengthProcessRequest is the message name of the corresponding .wsdl and SSN is the input whose length is to be restricted.
The error is : 'Attribute name not defined on element simpleType'
Thanks in advance.

How to adjust the text in input field

Hi Expert,
New in VC development. Can someone guide how to adjust the text in input field? Because of long text length it is not displaying fully in visual composer iView so user are not able to see the entire text in input fields

HI Kundan,
I assume that you have already tried different options perent in Label Postion for the field.
If none of these options meet your requirement then you can try the following workaround:
In the display properties, select label position as no label.
In the form view add a new UI Control for Plain Text or HTML text and change its Label to "Material Number".
Now place this new UI Control in before your actual Input field such that it appears as the field label.
Hope this helps.

How to get the length of a field.

Hi all,
I m working on dynamic internal table.There is a need to get the length of a field, filled dynamically.How can we get it.
Thanks in advance.

Swati garg

Swati,
DATA: text(8) TYPE c,
      len TYPE i.
DESCRIBE FIELD text LENGTH len IN CHARACTER MODE.
Field LEN contains the value 8.
================================
For ouput length :
DATA: float TYPE f,
      out TYPE i,
      len TYPE i.
DESCRIBE FIELD float LENGTH len OUTPUT-LENGTH out.
This example results in the field LEN containing the value 8, while the field OUT contains the value 22.

How to get the length of a field value, not the length of DB's CHAR(20)

Hello.
I'm trying to handle a String from my DataBase and get its length:
String myName;
int i;
PreparedStatement sql = Conn.prepareStatement("SELECT NAME FROM MY_TABLE");
ResultSet results = sql.executeQuery();
results.next();
myName = results.getString("NAME");
i = myName.length();
out.println("The value is " + myName + " and the length is " + String.valueOf(i) );
I get:
" The value is Tom and the lengh is 20 "
20 is the length of the field (it's a CHAR (20) ), but I would like to get the length
of 'Tom'.
On other hand, I would like to detect if this value is 'Tom' or not, but trying with:
if (myName.equals("Tom")) {...}
or
if (myName == "Tom") {...}
There is no response.
Any experience?

myName = results.getString("NAME");
if(myName!=null) myName = myName.trim(); //Take out trailing spaces
i = myName.length();Sudha

How to check the length of a field symbol value

hi all,
i have a problem with string function, i have assined table fields to a field symbol in a loop i want check the length of the assigned fields symbol value in every loop . i have written like ,,,,,len = strlen( <fs>). then i am getting the length of the field label what i ahve assigned to fiels symbol not the field value lenght ,
please advise me on this,
thanks,
sre

I think you're on the right track. This should work:
data: len type i.
data: begin of itab OCCURS 1,
        a type string value '1',
        b type string value '12',
        c type string value '123',
      end of itab.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs> type ANY.
do 3 times.
assign component sy-index of STRUCTURE itab to <fs>.
len = strlen( <fs> ).
enddo.

How to change the lenth of existing field in sap standard table

Hi all,
can anybody help,my requirement is, how to change the length of existing field in sap standard table....
thanks in advance..

Which field are you thinking of in particular? Are you wanting to increase or decrease the length?
Some fields are used so extensively that a change to their length will mean adjusting many tables, some of them potentially very large, and hence taking a long time to adjust.
Some standard SAP programs expect certain fields to be of specific lengths and won't work if the length is changed.
Some screens could cease to work.
If you decrease length, then you could lose data.

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 Restrict the input Help for 0MATERIAL in the BPS Layout

Hi,
I have requirement to Restrict the input Help for 0MATERIAL in the BPS Layout.
For Example if the Planning Package is Restricted to SALES ORGANISATION ( 3000 ) then the system shuold check the 0MAT_SALES where SALES ORGANISATION IS "3000" )AND PASS THE Material Numbers to the 0material list.
I have Copied the standard Funtcion group "UPF_VARIABLE_USER_EXIT" to Z fucttion and have attached to Z Variabe as User Exit .
this Variable is Attached to 0material in the Planning Pakage. So tha now the 0MATERIAL is restricted to the variable which is having the User Exit.
But how to acces the Values of Planning Package for which the Layout is bein Executed from this Z User Exit ???
I Know how to restrict the input help, but my only problem is that how to get the values of Planning package through this User Exit.
Please suggest if it is possible.
Regards,
Nilesh Labde

Hi Nilesh,
As I understand from your question,you know how to restrict but the issue is to know the value in the package with which you need to restrict.
There are two tables which can help you finding the value used in package for sales organisation:
1. UPC_PACKAGE
2. UPC_OPTIOS
How to use ?
From UPC Package you will get one GUID, Hit the second table UPC_OPTIOS with this GUID.
In field "FIELDNAME" enter the name of the characteristic whose value is req (sales organisation in your case)
Hope this helps you
