How to set date value in hidden item

I have a form which has an date item, P1_MTIME , if I use data picker and an procedure (After header)to define its default , as
begin
:P1_MTIME := to_char(sysdate,'DD-MON-RR HH24:MI');
end;
Everything works fine, but when I change P1_MTIME to hidden, I can only get its value set to date, not hour and minutes, such as 2006-06-23 00:00, what I did wrong?

Why not just have a hidden item with the ID so that when you create (insert) it is null and you insert sysdate and when you are editing an existing value and hence have the ID you update. This logic is easy to place in a page process (when the page is submitted)

How to set the value of application item using pl/sql in application process

Hi guys,
I want a global variable (application item) whose value will be set at the start when a user logs in to the application. The value will be retrieved from database using a sql query. I do not know the exact syntax to set the value of application item in application process. Also i want to know in which type of application process should i use to set the value of application item when a user starts a session. The value of application item varies from user to user.
Please help.
I am using apex 4.2
Regards,
Waqas

You can use the application item as bind-variable with its name. ie. your application item is named G_MY_APPLICATION_ITEM, then you can access/set it using :G_MY_APPLICATION_ITEM.
For example
BEGIN
    -- assign like a variable
    :G_MY_APPLICATION_ITEM := 'LARRY';
    -- use in a SQL statement
    SELECT WHATEVER_COLUMN
      INTO :G_MY_APPLICATION_ITEM
      FROM MY_TABLE
     WHERE USERNAME = :APP_USER
END;

Javascript: set value of hidden item

Hi,
I have a select list and a hidden item on my page, after select a value, I want to write this value (and a little bit more) to the hidden item.
So I have done the following...
applied to page html header:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function setExpress(item_id)
html_GetElement('P230_HIDDEN').value = 'Test ' + html_GetElement(item_id).value;
</script>
and in selection list I set the HTML Form Element Attributes to onChange="setExpress(this.id); .
But nothing is written to the hidden item. When I make it a text field it works correct.
Isn't it possible to set a value of hidden item by javascript? Is there another way to do this (without computation)?
Thanks for help
chrissy

Hello chrissy,
I don't see the connection between the item being Hidden or Text. The item id stays the same, and so the JavaScript reference to it.
It is possible to assign values to hidden items using JavaScript, just as you did. In the following page - http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=22814:8
-you can see a working example of your situation select list populate a hidden item, then display by using alert.
After selecting from the list you should TAB out, so it will fire the JavaScript event. In your example, you were using onChange. I think that could be problematic in cases were the default value (first value) of the select list is the one chosen no change there. In my example, I'm using onBlur.
You can see the JavaScript on the source page.
Hope this help,
Arie.

Hi,
In wdinit() method u can set the date
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Date today = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
String reportDate = df.format(today);
wdContext.currentContextElement().setFromDate(reportDate);
Another way you have set the this formate like that
1. Create a Simple type under "Dictionaries->SimpleType" called DateFormat
2. Select the type as "date"
3. Go to the "Representation" tab and set the format as "dd/MM/yyyy" (or whatever u want, but month should be MM)
4.Bind the context attribute to the type created now.
Hope this helps u.

How to set default values for boolean columns

I'm trying to deploy some content types and columns into a site with a feature. All it's ok, except that I'm trying to set a default value for boolean columns with no success.
I've tried to set default value at column level:
<Field ID="{EFE23A1D-494E-45cf-832E-45E41B17F0CF}" Name="ScopeSpanish" DisplayName="Se publican noticias en español"
Type="Boolean" Hidden="FALSE" Group="Columnas ShaCon" >
<Default>TRUE</Default>
</Field>
and at content type level:
<FieldRef ID="{EFE23A1D-494E-45cf-832E-45E41B17F0CF}" Name="ScopeSpanish" DefaultValue="TRUE" Required="TRUE" />
But in any case, when i create a new item with this content type, default value is applied.
Can anyone tell how to set default values for boolean columns?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Sergio

In the field definition you can set
<Default>1</Default>
or

How to set variables values via VBA.

Anybody please help.
How to set variables values via VBA in workbook. SAP Netweaver 2004s.

Pass variable values with VBA and BI 7.0 funtions to Query
At first a remark u2013 Iu2019ve read a lot of threads saying that passing values to a query can be done by using VBA code only. Iu2019ve tested it but Iu2019m not sufficient with the new BEX 7.0 API and therefore I use a mixture of BEX 7.0 funtionality and VBA. I create a BEX 7.0 design item button passing the values to a query u2013 I hide this button somewhere on the sheet or on a hidden sheet and I then raise the event to click the button from VBA code. Works fine and the maintenance is easier if something changes in the API in the future again.
How to start:
Switch to design mode in BEX Analyzer:
Implement a BEX 7.0 design item u201Cbuttonu201D
Click on the button to implement the properties
Make the input for the commands
data_provider = dataprovider_1
cmd = process_variables
subcmd = var_submit
No comes the part with the variables u2013 Letu2019s assume a query has 4 variables but you only want to change 1 with the button u2013 an organizational unit for instance.
Make a range somewhere in the excel with the following structure:
Name    Index   Value
VAR_NAME_1      1       Variablename
VAR_VALUE_EXT_1 1       variablevalue
Value should contain the name of your variable of course and u201Cvalueu201D the value of your variable
Set a name for this range with EXCEL functionality but without the header:
Back to the properties of the button: Insert the name of the range with the variables in the field Command Range:
If you have more variables to process you can of course enhance your Filterrange!
In the left upper Corner you have a name for your button:
Now you can raise the button-click in vba like this:
Application.Run "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!Sheet2.BUTTON_35_Click"

Model of how APEX handles data (values)?

Reference {thread:id=2486655}
I'm trying to get a model of how APEX handles data (values). There are several places(?) that data (values) can exist. Or so it seems. I'm trying to understand how these work -- to put all the pieces together.
Question:
A) Where data can be?
1) In the database
2) In the session
3) Rendered -- and hence displayed on the screen, if a displayed value -- but not in the session
4) In perhaps(?) some working memory pool(?) but different from the page rendered values I see on the screen?
5) Other?
Why do I think this is relevant?
Question:
B) If there are rendered values and session values different from the rendered values, then when code executes, which of these values (rendered or session) is it executing against?
And maybe the answer is, "You don't understand what's going on." Yes, "Exactly!" Hence the question.
Best wishes,
Howard

Howard (DBA in Training) wrote:
I'm putting this together now. For example:
I set the value of a Page Item (say, :P2_DATA) to "BEFORE" in a Before Region process and change it to "AFTER" in an After Region Process. 'BEFORE' was displayed on the screen but 'AFTER' was in the session state. So I see that PL/SQL changes these values in the session state. But it doesn't "go back" to change the HTML after the region has been rendered -- hence we see BEFORE shown on the screen. (I'll have to think about what a Dynamic Action does.)
Also, if a page item has a default value, say 'DEFAULT' then that value doesn't get into the session state. At least, not with my current settings. Oh, that explains a lot of confusion!! I suppose there's a logical reason for this but who would expect default values to be differently from other PL/SQL operations on the item?
Questions:
1) So why does a default value not get put into the session state?Several reasons, among them:
*1. When/why is the value required?* Region items (and thus their source and default values) are rendered in region/item sequence order. The item's source/default value would therefore not be available in session state until it's rendering point. This is frequently later in page show processing than the value is actually required, such as the common use case of including a data value in the page or region title. Setting the value in a Before Header/Regions computation or process makes it available as required before the item is actually rendered.
*2. The rendered page might not be submitted.* Default values are typically set when a page will create a new row. Consider the situation where the user clicks a "Create" button and is presented with an order entry form containing several default values. They then decide they don't want to create a new order after all, and navigate away from the form page via some mechanism that uses a redirect rather than a submit (such as a default "Cancel" button). This means that no page submit processing is performed, and generally that no session state management is performed. If the default values were set in session state, the order entry page would contain the default values for the non-existent order despite the user never submitting it. This may have unwanted side-effects if these values are referenced elsewhere in the application, and therefore would require extra session state management to be built into the application.
*3. A rendered item might not be submitted with the page.* Per the HTML specification, the values of disabled controls unchecked checkboxes are not POSTed on page submit. Consider a situation where a checkbox item is set with several default values, but the application requires that the checkboxes be cleared and disabled by a dynamic action if the user chooses certain options from a select list. In this case, on page submission no values are submitted into session state for the checkbox item. If the defaults had been set in session state, then the application would be in an inconsistent state, with the user-selected option indicating that none of the checkboxes were checked, but with session state holding values showing that they were. This would require additional processing to ensure that the application's state was consistent before saving it to the database.<sup>1</sup>
2 & 3 are particularly significant in basic wizard-generated applications. Doing things in this way, the wizard-generated DML and navigation "just works", without the need for additional session state management.
2) Is there a Page Item setting that causes the default value to be saved to the session state?No. Hopefully the explanations above provide sufficient reason to show why this is genearlly not desirable. On the rare occasions when it is required, set the session state value using a computation or process.
<sup>1</sup> There are other reasons—mainly security related—that make it good practice to perform such checks in more complex and internet-facing applications anyway.

Online Store 1.0 - which process set the value of App Item 'FULLNAME'

Hi,
I just very curious about which process set the value of App Item 'FULLNAME' ini the packaged Apex App - Online Store 1.0 .
At Navigation Bar, there is a entry named "If you are not &FULLNAME., Click here |". However I can't find how the app set this application item value in any process when login.
any idea, I will be very appreciated.

How to validate Date value in Text Column

Hi All,
I have entered DATE value in text item field(Char Data Type), Now how can i validate, the entered date is valid or not.
Thanks in advance.

Well, the easiest way would be to make the item of datatype DATE.
Another possibility is to try to convert the given value to a date in the WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM-trigger, like
DECLARE
dt DATE;
BEGIN
dt:=TO_DATE(:BLOCK.ITEM);
-- if code comes here, the date is valid
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
    -- seems to be no valid date
    MESSAGE('Error');
    RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;

How to set a value to a disabled field in an B1 screen ?

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to set a value to a disabled field in an existing screen.
For example , I want to set a value to the Paid/Credited field in the Sales - A/R Invoice screen, which is a disabled field.
I tried setting the field as enabled but it throws an error.
Thanks in advance

It depends on the business process required for generating the invoice. (What is this process just now?)
I can think on quite a few ideas, but can't be sure if any of them will match your specific requirements. I'll list a few here and see if any of them might work, or at least generate some new ideas for you. (Unfortunately you can't change an existing payment object to add an invoice to it at a later date, nor is the reconciliation process exposed through the SDK. This limits your options a bit.)
1) Is there a need for a separate delivery and invoice? Would skipping the delivery process and using the standard Invoice + Payment screen work for you? Stock would be issued, invoice created and payment matched directly to invoice without any work.
2) This might apply if the invoice is simply a one for one match with the delivery. Rather than just generate a payment in the delivery screen, generate the invoice and a payment at the same time. The standard invoice screen will then show it as paid. You can control the dates on the invoice raised through DI code.
3) Where do you write the Paid Amount to? How is it not available in the invoice screen? Put it somewhere accessible and write it to the user field.

How to set the value to non enabled UDF fields

Dear All,
I created a UDF at titile level of PO and that UDF item always disabled (i.e oItem.Enabled=false). Now how can set a value through coding.
I wrote like this:
oForm = SBO_Application.Forms.GetFormByTypeAndCount(-142, 1);
                            oItem = oForm.Items.Item("U_Poap");
                            if (oItem.Enabled == false) { oItem.Enabled = true; }
                            oEdit = ((SAPbouiCOM.EditText)(oItem.Specific));
                            oEdit.Value = "1";
                            oItem.Enabled = false;
But system throws an error at : oItem.Enabled=true statement.
How to solve issue.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You can set the values using datasource object
oDBs_Head = objForm.DataSources.DBDataSources.Item("@TableName")
oDBs_Head.SetValue("U_FieldName", 0, "Value")

How to set field value in workflow SPD2013?

Hi All,
how to set field value in workflow SPD2013? Actually using Infopath, i need to update a field value through workflow.(Little differnt from SPD2010). How to do this?

As Amit says, some elaboration here would be good. You can use InfoPath as a form for either a list or a library and then set it to trigger a workflow upon item creation. The workflow will consist a number of actions, one of which is the Update
Field Item.
More information on the available steps can be seen here.
