I want to select records with only alphabet in a field.
Can't seem to find any finctions to do this in CR XI.
e.g Reference ID
ABCXYS - Select this record
173839S - Don't select
UDHHW12 - Don't select
173746 - Don't select
Thanks for the help in advance.

There might be an easier way but I just cant think of it right now. Here is a way to get you started.
Create a formula with:
numbervar i;numbervar a := 0;//for i := 1 to length({table.refid}) do(if not({table.refid}[i] in chrw(65) to chrw(122)) then a := a + 1;);//if a = 0 then 'true' else 'false';
Place this formula in the report header and suppress it. Then in your record selection criteria place this line:
{@yourformula} = 'true'
This should fetch only those records that either have a space or all alphabets for the refID.

Validation Rule - Should contain only alphabets and can be upto 4 characters long

Hi, I am using MDS 2012 and want to create a business rule for data validation which says,
"Should contain only alphabets and can be up to 4 characters long". How can I create such a rule in MDS? Also the Code and Name attributes are 250 characters by default. How to restrict them to 4 characters if business need them to be 4 or
less character?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks, Ashish Singh

When creating a business rule, under Actions there is "Must be maximum length of" and "must contain patern".

Can the encrypted string contain only alphabets?

Hi friends,
I have problem with the encryption. I am using Des .
I want to get the encrypted string which contains only alphabets ( no digits or no special characters).
Help appreciated.
Thanks.

Within the Java Cryptographic Extension (JCE), encryption works on bytes and generates bytes. You can convert any arbitrary String to bytes using one of the String.getBytes() methods (preferably the one where you define the encoding to use). The way you restrict what the plane text String contains is up to you.
The JCE produces secure encryption based on well tested algorithms.
The tone of your question implies that all you want to do is have a simple substitution cipher. The is very VERY VERY insecure and can be broken by a 2 year old. Use the JCE.

Urgent...... how to select few fields, from database table, (dynamic ita.)

Dear all experts,
I am able to populate all fields data from database table, using dynamic table creation.
eg,
SELECT * FROM (w_tabname) INTO TABLE <t_itab>.
where w_tabname is the table name given by the user, and t_itab is field symbol.
but some requirement is like that i need to pick up only few fields, which user will give at the runtime.
I can take those fields from file into any internal table,
but the problem is that instead of select *, i need to put selected the fields given by user.
i have tried with field symbol, it is not working (as per my knowledge.)
do i need to create any structures dynamically ?
Can anybody please help in this regards ?
Your help will be surely rewarded with points.
Waiting for reply..
Regards
Vinay

Hi Vinay ,
Adding to the below code , you can use some more fields in the select stmt as below:-
REPORT ychatest.
PARAMETERS : p_field1 LIKE dd03l-fieldname,
 P_field2 LIKE dd03l-fieldname,
 p_table LIKE dd03l-tabname.
FIELD-SYMBOLS : <fs> TYPE STANDARD TABLE.
SELECT (p_field1) (p_field2) ( FROM (p_table) INTO TABLE <fs>.
Now p_field1 & p_field2 belong to the same table since you have give the user to enter only one table name.
This should work fine.
please try & let me know .
Thanks & Regards,
Daniel

How to select and print calls only made and receiv...

how to select and print out list of calls made and received for the past year, between myseld and one particular contact

While I'm not sure about what you want to accomplish, I'll offer a couple of possible solutions.
1. If the items that you want to remove are on the timeline, and those items are in layers that contain no content that you want to keep, then you can just select those layers and delete them.
2. If you want to remove some items from the stage, but keep the original items for some later purpose, just copy the movie and then edit the copy as in item 1.
3. If you need to remove some items from stage and then resize the stage to compensate for the loss of these items, then you may have to move and/or resize some of the items in your movie. This may be as simple as using the "edit multiple frames" selection in the timeline, or it may be much more time consuming.

How to select this field for the extractor?

Hi Gurus, I hope you are fine!
I need to extract the field     PRED_OPPT_GUID   form the Data source 0CRM_SRV_CONTRACT_H inside CRM system.
If I go inside CRM to:
Transaction SBIW -> Settings for BW Adapter -> Maintain DataSource and Enhance BW Adapter Metadata ->
tipe "0CRM_SRV_CONTRACT_H" and press change buttom -> Mapping TAB
there I can see the field I need "PRED_OPPT_GUID" but this is not selected at the "BW Selection" Column , I guess this is the cause why I am not receiving this field from the extractor, Am I right?
If yes, How can I select this field for the "BW Selection" Column? (the system does not allow me to click it directly)
if not, what is the proper procedure if I need to extract this field ? because this is the key field for the DSO
" Service Orders: Header Data "
Thanks

This is what i can see inside the ROOSFIELD table:
Filtered by data source = 0CRM_SRV_PROCESS_H
Comparison with another field:
BILL_TO_PARTY (working properly)    columns:        SELECTION = X              NOTEXREL= Y
PRED_OPPT_GUID (Not working)           columns:        SELECTION = (Empty)    NOTEXREL= Y
I think that if I try to change the Selection field to X it will cause inconsistencies with the SMOXRELP table am I right ?
I tried to change using the system and not directly into the tables, but thaere was an inconsitecie between these 2 tables.
Why is no able this field taking into account that this is the KEY FIELD inside the standard DSO? it has no sense to me.
What do you think?
regards.

Column alias to select all fields in only one table in a join

Hi,
Please can you tell me if it is possible to use something like "SELECT a*" to select all fields in table a when using a join to join 2 tables e.g a and b? Instead of using "select acomlumn1 acomlumn2 acomlumn3" etc.
Thanks and Regards.

HI,
It is not possible... You have to specify all the fields you want to select with the tilde '~' symbol...
or,
The other solution can be to fetch all the fields from the first table and use 'For all entries' of this table to fetch all fields from the other table...
