How to Search by Displayed Value

When a format mask is applied to numeric field in an Innteractive Report, e.g. 999G999G999G999G999G990, search operations from the Search Bar do not match any entries if the mask characters are included. For example, the data value from the database is: 2251343000. When the above, example format mask is applied, this is displayed as 2,251,343,000. However, if the user enters 2,251,343,000 in the search bar (which would be the natural thing to do), nothing matches. On the other hand, if the user enters 2251343000, a match is found.
This seems like counter intuitive behavior to me since the whole point of the tool bar is to allow "self-service" for the user. Training them to remove commas, dollars signs or whatever is not very popular.
Has anyone else found a work around for this? (APEX Guys, if you're reading this, please consider a fix).
Thanks,
-Joe

I wonder if more people agree with your statement that this would be the natural thing to do.
Everybody knows Excel, and wants Excel behaviour. This behaviour is just like Excel. You search for 2251343000 in a formatted column, not 2,251,343,000. It's way easier to type 2251343000 on the numeric keyboard.
(Just tried if you can filter on a unformatted hidden column somehow, but that doesn't seem to work. Sorry, no solution from me then.)

Restrict dictionnary Search help displayed values.

Hi,
my problem is that I have to display a search help. The search help already exists in the dictionnary and is defined using a Dictionnary Table.
I need to display the same serach help but I have to filter the results using a range of values for one of the fields and I would like to know how to proceed.
I know that user-exit exists in some search help, it's not the case here.
The kind of solutions I'm looking for is :
- directly restrict the existing search hellp values
- found a way to display a search help from abap using an internal table ( cause it's easy in this case to do fill a internal table doing the sql request myself)
- if the solutions above can't apply, doing my own search help in the dictionnary but in this case, I don't know to make this search help for values restriction.
I specify that the screen use the screen painter, it may be important ?
Thanks for your help
best Regards,
Morgan

Hi,
Search Hels exits is only for exceptions, so in our case, we won't use the search help exits, it is better create/change the Custome one and attach the same to the fiels, there you can give the Default value for the fileds, so there you can restrict the values
or else, we have an option like, APPEND SEARCH HELPS, so by using this, we can restrict some field values, this Append Search helps, can be append to Standard Search helps also, so do Append the Standard Search help and add your field and give the Default values to restrict the user
hope you get the answer

How to get the display value of selected item in list box?

I have a page with an HtmlSelectOneListbox that is filled with an ArrayList of SelectItem objects.
The SelectItem objects contain a Key and Value. The Value is displayed in the ListBox.
The value parameter of the listbox is bound to a bean property which is called selectedListItem.
The bean property selectedListItem contains the Key of the SelectItem that is selected.
How do I obtain the Value of the selectedListItem?
I need to be able to get the Value field that is displayed, not just the Key to the item that is displayed.
Edited by: burferd on Nov 3, 2007 10:03 PM

How are you filling in the value of the menu? Obtain it back by the same way. Or pass it along the key in a object.

How to search for a value in an iterator in Jdev 10.1.2?

Hi!
I need to search an iterator named "PermitYrIterator1" for a year value (e.g. 2009) that is stored in bindings.Yr in my jsp. How do I do this in my jsp's DataForwardAction Code) in Jdev 10.1.2?
I need this in my "Create page." I need to search for this value because I want to check if I should re-execute the "PermitYrIterator1" so that it shows the newly added year in bindings.Yr or not. If bindings.Yr is found in the iterator then I do not need to re-execute the iterator. But if the newly entered year cannot be found then I need to re-execute the iterator.
I hope you can help me immediately! Thanks!

How to search for multiple values with Bex Prompts

Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to search for multiple values at the same time with Bex Prompts instead of searching one value at a time (please see the screen shot below). I searched the forum couldn't find any relevant answers. please let me know how to achieve?
Thanks,
Charvi.

Hi Charvi,
You can use wild card search to ensure you get multiple similar values listed as search output.use * for multiple characters and ? for single character.
For Example, Ravi * would result you all employees with first name as Ravi
You can use various search formats such as * Ravi * and * Ravi and Ra?? etc.
Thanks

How to create a display value and a return value for an item

Hi! I have an item on a form. I want the default value for my item to be :":APP_USER", but the return value, to be the id of my user. I tried to create a PL/SQL Expression for the default item, but it doesn't work. What do I miss?
It should be something like this, but it's not.
begin
select first_name || ',' ||last_name as "Employee",
id_employee -- display value,return value
from employees
where id_employee = :APP_USER;
end;
Does anyone know?
Thanks!
Vitaly

Hi VItaly,
Display value and return value concept applies very well in case of a Combo box if i am correct, I don't know what type of item is your's.
But any way, you can have a workaround like,
Create a hidden item such that it's default value should be ID of the user which can be get from db by using :APP_USER.
Use the this item for your references.
I think this will meet your requirement.
Thanks

How to refresh lov displayed value

Hi,
I have a POPUP LOV (which displays a numeric id and description) and it has cascading parent LOV. When I change the value in the parent LOV the child LOV is populated with new values and that is OK. But, I also want to automatically select some value from that LOV according to some rule. How can I do this? I tried with dinamic actions "set value" but only the session value of the item changes and the popup stays the same (no value selected).
Thanks

How to search for a value within a tolerance in an array?

I am trying to search in an array for a value of say 10 plus or minus 2. In other words, I want a value of true if there is any value in the array between 8 and 12.

canadian;
LabVIEW includes with a VI called In Range and Coerce. You can test the value using that VI.
I also created a VI for exactly that. You can download it from here:
http://www.jyestudio.com/lview.shtml
It is called Search 1D array using conditions. Let me know if it is useful. Even more efficient, you can look at the code of that VI and then extract the functionality you want for your application.

How to get lov display value dynamically for an item according to date pick

Hi friends,
I have a date picker item called on_date, and also one lov item course_name
If i select one date from the date picker item means, automatically the course name corresponding to the date has to populate in the course_name item lov.
suppose if i select the date (21-06-2011) from the date picker item means and if there are two courses available for the date in the table
that is *) APEX *)OAF means, then the course_name item lov should show APEX and OAF in the select list.
How to acheive it.
I tried it in the way by creating a dynamic action for the date item
True Action: set value
Sql Expression:
select course_name from xx_trg_course_detail where :P2_ON_DATE between effective_start_date and effective_end_datepage item to submit: P2_ON_DATE
Affected element: P2_COURSE_NAME
it is working if i kept the course_name item as a text field instead of LOV item.
But i need to show the corresponding courses in the lov for the course_name item soon after selecting the particular date from the date picker.
This is the LOV definition that i gave for the course_name item
select course_name r, course_name d from xx_trg_course_detail where :P2_ON_DATE between effective_start_date and effective_end_datewhat is the problem over here.
Thanks
Regards,
Mini
Edited by: Mini on Jun 22, 2011 2:45 AM

Hi friends,
One of my batch mate corrected this problem, by setting
cascading LOV parent item: P2_ON_DATE
page items to submit : P2_ON_DATE
By specifying the date picker item name in the above fields for the item COURSE_NAME.
Now if i select the date from the picker means, the lov item course_name is getting changed as it is showing only the courses of the respective dates.
Thanks

How to query involving Multi-Value Attributes objects

Hello.
     I have one question regarding coherence. We are looking for best and the fastest way to query multi-value attribute of objects. In Coherence User guide there is example, that shows, how can this be made with java.lang.String object:
     Set searchTerms = new HashSet();
     searchTerms.add("java");
     searchTerms.add("clustering");
     searchTerms.add("books");
     // The cache contains instances of a class "Document" which has a method
     // "getWords" which returns a Collection<String> containing the set of
     // words that appear in the document.
     Filter filter = new ContainsAllFilter("getWords", searchTerms);
     Set entrySet = cache.entrySet(filter);
     // iterate through the search results
     But I would like to know, how can this be made with some other object type. For example I could have object MyCoherenceObject with attribute HashSet<Identifier> idHashSet that would represent Person object that has composite key comprised of name and lastname. Identifier object would contain two attributes of type String: name & value.
     So basically I could have two identifiers in list:
     public MyCoherenceObject {
     public HashSet idHashSet = new HashSet();
     public MyCoherenceObject() {
     Identifier id1 = new Identifier("name", "John");
     Identifier id2 = new Identifier("surname", Smith");
     idHashSet.add(id1);
     idHashSet.add(id2);
     public HashSet getIdentifiers() {
     return idHashSet;
     This object would later be inserted in coherence cache. When query over coherence cache would be performed I would like all objects where multi-value parameter with name="name" equal "John" and parameter with name="lastname" equal "Smith". My code would look something like this:
     Set searchTerms = new HashSet();
     searchTerms.add("John");
     searchTerms.add("Smith");
     // The cache contains instances of a class "Document" which has a method
     // "getWords" which returns a Collection<String> containing the set of
     // words that appear in the document.
     Filter filter = new ContainsAllFilter("getIdentifiers", searchTerms);
     Set entrySet = cache.entrySet(filter);
     // iterate through the search results
     How can this be done. Basically I don't know how to search in multi-value attribute if one value represents arbitrary object and how to tell coherence which getter fuction must be used for comparison. In my case getValue() must be used and not getName().
     Second problem:
     Coherence must not return Person object with name="Smith" and lastname="John". Here upper filter would be satisified, but problem is that I am looking for person with lastname "Smith" and name "John".
     Domain description:
     I will have different objects of same type in coherence cache with different multi-value attribute list length. For example some objects will have only one identifier object in list (e.g. Phone "phoneNumber") some two (e.g. Person "name", "lastname") and other objects will have maybe three identifier objects (e.g. City "country", "area", "state").
     If there is faster way to do this in Coherence (I saw examples with getters that contain attributes for example), please give me some directions.
     Thank you very much for your help.

When filtering based on the getIdentifiers, you should add Identifier instances into the searchTerms collection, and it will satisfy all your expectations. If you add simple Strings into that searchTerms collection, then none of your queries will return anything, because the String will never equal() the Identifier instances.
     You can also add an index on the getIdentifiers() method. However, the Identifier class should properly implement the equals() and hashCode() methods, and in order to be able to use an ordered index (you don't need that for the current requirements you listed), it should also implement Comparable.
     BR,

DATA lo_nd_cn_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lo_el_cn_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA ls_cn_node TYPE wd_this->element_cn_node.
* navigate from <CONTEXT> to <CN_NODE> via lead selection
lo_nd_cn_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_cn_node ).
* get element via lead selection
lo_el_cn_node = lo_nd_cn_node->get_element( ).
* set single attribute
lo_el_cn_node->set_attribute(
