How to script creating variables based on input

I am looking to do something that I am sure is possible but at a loss on how to do it. Maybe someone can assist. What I am looking to do is have a question that is asked, the input will be a number, what I want to do with that number is have it stored into
a variable called "$variableX" where the X is the number someone enters.
For example:
Question: Type a number from 10-20
The user types 15, then the script outputs the Variable $Variable15, then when asked to enter a another number and they enter 19, then another variable is created called $Variable19.
Hope this makes sense. I was thinking of writing a bunch of If statements but I don't want to enter 10-20 of them, if one smaller script can do them all.
Thanks,

Yes, they will be asked "Are you adding a new disk to the server?", if the answer is yes then it will then ask for the disk number. After they do that it will then say "Is there another disk to add?" If so then it
will run it again. If no, then it will stop.
You can wrap what I've posted above in a do loop to accomplish this.

How to bind data from script created variable to embed element of XML schema (xsd) in "Data View"

Hi, i have got another problem with livecycle designer scripting.
I have got script line which is defining of string variable:
var aaa = "this is my string";
and i have got embed XML schema like this (it`s only short part of whole file):
... xs:element name="bbb" type="xs:string"/ ...
After saving data to XML i would like to get "this is my string" as a value of my "bbb" XML element.
To save this data i`m using submit button which is connect with submit.php file on my server.
How to connect script created variable and embed XML schema element which is present on my "Data View" tab.
Please help me a bit becouse i don`t know even where to search answer of it...
Of course i know possibilities to create fake unvisible text field object and bind it with 'bbb' and than put "this.rawValue = aaa" to connect those two variables but i think that is not a good idea to solve it in that way. It`s too primitive

i solve it, i should write this:
xfa.datasets.data.bbb.value = aaa;

How do I create variables and store them?

How do I create variables and store them?

As someone already said, we need to know a little more about what you want to do with these variables, but in general, APEX Items are probably what you want. You can create APEX Items at the Application or Page level. Once you set the value of an item, you can reference it anywhere else in the application. So, if you have an item on page 1 called P1_ENAME, you can reference it on page 32 using bind variable syntax :P1_ENAME. If you just want to store but not display some information, you can use either a hidden page item or an Application Level item. Take a look at the 2 Day Developers Guide for more info.

Variable one - "ZCRD" - customer requested ship date. ( input) variable.
Populate a variable - "ZFYPRD" based on users input - "ZCRD."
Please provide me if function module exist / how to code a new FM and code to populate the value on variable ZYPRD.
For Instance:
if user's input is "ZCRD = 05/30/08".
Populate the value in the variable (custom) "zfyprd" = 005/2008.
How would I code in ABAP If this is the condition.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ramesh,
Thank you for the response. Your input is valuable. For this requirement its a BPS Planning Layout.
Do I need a function module to work this code? The (key date) customer requested ship date (variable) is an input from users through planning area. If function module requires please give me the code for the function module.
Users enter = customer requested ship date.
Variable for this fiscal yr/period should populate/ convert it to the period.
I used the function module convert it to period. But which function module is to use to connect it to the variable for customer requested ship date in bps?
I created a variable (customer exit) for period in the query. I referred the code given in the document to convert it to period from key date. But while testing the variable customer requested ship date is coming as initial. what is it that I am missing here? Please help
Thanks in advance,

How can I create VI's with inputs which will execute immediately when updated?

I am using LabView to control stepper motors. I would like to create a VI with a front panel which has 4 directional arrows, 2 per motor. My goal is to be able to run the VI and then press a button to move the motor.
I have created separate VI for each funcition of the motors - a vi to set the holding current, one to set the moving current, another to move up by a certain amount, and so on. These vi's work and I can move and adjust the motors, but only by running separate VI.
How can i combine them into one VI and have them execute at the press of a button or change of a property? An example would be to set a new holding current, and have the holding current vi execute immediately and send the command to the motor. Then keep on pressing the directional buttons without having to hit "run" on another vi.
Thank you very much
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The event structure will allow you to handle user input and execute when controls are used. A "value change" event is what you're looking for.

How to script text field based on checkbox selection

I've written a script to format specific text boxes based on what checkbox is chosen. However, I'm not sure what I need to script in order to CLEAR the text field once the checkbox is unchecked. As it stands now if the checkbox is selected it formats the text field with the necessary information, but if it's unchecked the information stays in the box. I'd like to be something like 'if all boxes are Off then display 0.00.' I've included the current script for reference
var one = this.getField("Emp 500");
var two = this.getField ("Emp+C500");
var three = this.getField("Emp+S500");
var four = this.getField("Fam500");
var five = this.getField("NC500");
var six = this.getField("Medical");
if (one.value == 'Yes') {six.value='70.70'}
else if (two.value ==
'Yes') {six.value='127.20'}
else if (three.value == 'Yes') {six.value='141.32'}
else if (four.value == 'Yes') {six.value='198.00'}
else if (five.value == 'Yes') {six.value='0'}
var one = this.getField("Emp 1500");
var two = this.getField ("Emp+C1500");
var three = this.getField("Emp+S1500");
var four = this.getField("Fam1500");
var five = this.getField("NC1500");
var six = this.getField("Medical");
if (one.value == 'Yes') {six.value='61.47'}
else if (two.value == 'Yes') {six.value='110.49'}
else if (three.value == 'Yes') {six.value='141.32'}
else if (four.value == 'Yes') {six.value='123.04'}

How to build an array based on inputs from a text file

Hi
I have ta text file that has the following format. The apmlitude is the first value then I have the start index number and last index number
Other index values in between should be zero
(amplitide, start index number, end index number)
2, 2 ,3
4, 6, 7
5, 10,11
using this format I should make the foloowing array
0,0,2,2,0,0,4,4,0,0,5,5
Could you please help me to implement it in LabVIEW
Thanks

A few notes:
- You'll want to use the Initialize Array function for 1) and 3) (if this is, in fact, how you want to do this.) This function takes two inputs when initializing a 1D array- element value and array size.
- Change the polymorphic instance of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi to "Double" or "Integer"- there's no reason to read in these numeric values as strings and convert them later.
- Will the text file always contain 12 elements worth of data? If not, you'll need to change your logic for the number of elements to initialize.
As Altenbach said, this seems a lot like a basic logic/homework problem. My suggestion was only that-a suggestion. It is not the only way to do this. Figure out a sequence of steps to get you from point A to point B before you jump in and start coding.

How do I create variables in Captivate?

I'm hoping someone will be able to help me out. I'm working
on some e-learn using Captivate at the moment and am not sure how
we 'affect' variables once a user as completed a branch. i.e. I
have three buttons on a page representing 3 different branchs. When
a user selects a button he/ she follows the slides in the branch.
At the end of the branch they are returned to the original slide
with the 3 buttons, only now, the button that they originally
selected is marked as complete or changed to represent having been
completed (i.e. text is added, icon changes etc).
I hope this makes sense. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Cheers

I found that I could export my Captivate project to Flash and
then use Actionscript to make checkmarks visible on the menu if
various sections were viewed. Here's some code that may make this
easier if you care to try the same thing:
Initialization Code for a menu with four checkmarks (frame
1):
_global.section1viewed = false;
_global.section2viewed = false;
_global.section3viewed = false;
_global.section4viewed = false;
Menu Code (place on the frame(s) that display the menu):
if (section1viewed) {
checkmark1._visible=true;
} else {
checkmark1._visible=false;
if (section2viewed) {
checkmark2._visible=true;
} else {
checkmark2._visible=false;
if (section3viewed) {
checkmark3._visible=true;
} else {
checkmark3._visible=false;
if (section4viewed) {
checkmark4._visible=true;
} else {
checkmark4._visible=false;
(Also place on the menu the 4 checkmarks which are movieclips
and name their instances checkmark1, checkmark2, etc.)
Set variables to true (place the appropriate statement by
changing the 1 to 2, 3, or 4, on the last page of each section):
_global.section1viewed = false;

How to create variables at runtime

Hi,
I need to know how can i create variables at runtime.
or is their anything like array that we create in 'C' if yes . how can i define its size at runtime.
Thanks,
Dev.

In forms, either record groups or pl/sql tables of records give similar functionality to an array. You have full programatic control of either but with completely different syntax. Record groups integrate well with certain forms built-ins and features (eg LOVs and Tree items). PL/sql tables integrate well with other pl/sql such as stored procedures. Unlike an array, a pl/sql table may be SPARSE (index numbers need not be sequential), and UNBOUNDED (no need to declare the number of rows).

How do i create an variable on an infoobject to use it in transformation

Hi,
In order to specify value for Currency rate type Dynamically you need to create variable for info Object 0RTYPE and the same can be used in Currency conversion.
Use this info object in any of the infocube say ZTEST_C01 and create a dummy query ZTEST_Q1 based ZTEST_C01...
In the query you can create variable based on the Info Object 0RTYPE.
After this you can use the same in the currency conversion creation.

Creating variables in Report Painter

Hi ...
I would like to know ... how do I create variable ? I know it is via T CODE GS11, but when run tht, in the next screen it pops up for variable ? What variable do I need to enter ? is this predelivered Eg : CE-PK, or can we create one ? Please advise
Also, I would like to I have a requirement for a report whereby the format is like this .....
SALES CURR MONTH (06/2006) LAST YEAR
- Sales IT
- Sales 1
- Sales 2
COGS
- cogs 1
- cogs 2
- cogs 3
COS
- cos 1
- cos 2
- cos 3
GROSS PROFIT
Whereby, SALES = sales it + sales 1 + sales 2, COGS = cogs 1+cogs 2 + cogs 3, COS = cos 1+ cos 2+ cos 3. also GROSS PROFIT = SALES + COGS + COS
The abpve report is inclusive of Cost Centre and Profit Centre, how acn I utilize the libraray in Report Pianter to create such report, is this possible in Report Painter whereby including Cost center and Profit Centre in one single report
Pls assist me
Nathan

When you create your variable first enter the variable name. Second enter the reporting "table" to use. Third enter the "field'. Press enter. Next enter a default value for your field. Save you variable. It is now ready to use in your report painter.
Using the PCA reporting tables gives you the profit center but not the cost center. You can only use one reporting table per report. you will need a cctr report for that.
First create your own libray from GLPCT. Next create your report using your new library. The report painter can do the calculations that you have shown.
You create a formula in the row or column to calculate your sub totals.
pls assign points if helpful as a way to say thanks.
