How to set precision of float values?

how can I set the number of decimal points of some floating point number?
e-g I have some value = 1.200000, I don't want the extra zeros (or digits) to be displayed on screen, I want it to be displayed as 1.20. Similarly 1.145674232 to be displayed as just 1.146 or 1.15.

Hi,
take a look at http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Strings /Articles/formatSpecifiers.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40004265 and http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Strings /Articles/FormatStrings.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000943
In your case you need "%1.2f" (i believe )

How to set a payload field value only once for multiple instances selected?

The user needs to set a payload field value and then he can approve the task so the task can continue through the process, that's fine when the user selects one instance and sets the value in the task details section and then clicks the approve button, but how do we achieve the same behavior in a multiple way?, I mean the user can select multiple tasks in the workspace (in this case the details task page is not available and instead the following label appear "Multiple tasks selected") then if the user clicks the Actions drop down -> APPROVE he only gets the message "your request was processed successfully", so how can the user modify the payload field value only once for all the selected tasks so when he clicks APPROVE the value is populated in all the instances selected.
Thanks,
Carlos.

How to set a default integer value in a form

I have a form defined as follows:
=================================================
public static class ProjectForm extends FormData
private int idx;
private String name;
private String projectNumber;
private String description;
public void setIdx(int index)
this.idx = idx;
public int getIdx(){
return this.idx;
public void setName(String name)
this.name = name;
public String getName()
return this.name;
public void setDescription(String description)
this.description = description;
public String getDescription()
return this.description;
public void setProjectNumber(String projectNumber)
this.projectNumber = projectNumber;
public String getProjectNumber()
return this.projectNumber;
======================================================
When I add a new entry into the database, I have no issues. However, when I want to modify an entry I run into some issues with the idx entry. For some reason, I cannot set a default value into the netui:label tag. My jsp code is as follows:
===================================================
<tr valign="top">
<td>
Index:
</td>
<td>
<netui:label value="{actionForm.idx}"
defaultValue="{pageFlow.project.idx}"/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td>
Name:
</td>
<td>
<netui:textBox dataSource="{actionForm.name}"
defaultValue="{pageFlow.project.name}"/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td>
ProjectNumber:
</td>
<td>
<netui:textBox dataSource="{actionForm.projectNumber}"
defaultValue="{pageFlow.project.projNum}"/>
</td>
<tr valign="top">
<td>
Description:
</td>
<td>
<netui:textBox dataSource="{actionForm.description}"
defaultValue="{pageFlow.project.description}"/>
</td>
</tr>
======================================================
The the project class is passes into the page and has the appropriate values. The name, project number and description fields work as I would expect. However, the idx value is alway '0'. If I print out pageFlow.project.idx it has the correct value.
How do I fix this? My feeling is that it is related to the form field being an int and not a string. The default parameter indicates that is only works with null values, and ints default to zero. Do I need to use an Integer value instead in the form, or just stay away from non-string form fields.
Thank for the help!!

How to set a form element value using javascript?

Hello,
I have been using the following two functions in AS 9.0.2 to set form values in javascript and it works correctly. However, the same code does not work in AS 10.1.2.0.2. Would appreciate if someone could let me know how to set form elements using Javascript(onchange of a field).
function set_item_value(p_field_name, p_value)
var v_index, v_full_name;
for(v_index=0; v_index<document.forms[0].length; v_index++)
v_full_name = document.forms[0].elements[v_index].name.split
if (v_full_name[2] == p_field_name)
document.forms[0].elements[v_index].value = p_value;
function get_item_value(p_field_name)
var v_index, v_full_name, v_return="";
for(v_index=0; v_index<document.forms[0].length; v_index++)
v_full_name = document.forms[0].elements[v_index].name.split
if(v_full_name[2] == p_field_name)
if(document.forms[0].elements[v_index].type != "radio")
v_return = document.forms[0].elements[v_index].value;
else
if(document.forms[0].elements[v_index].checked)
v_return = document.forms[0].elements[v_index].value;
if(v_return == " ")
v_return = "";
return v_return;
Thanks

This is not the best way to write JavaScript in Portal environment!
You can't be sure that a form is the first in the html source!
In Portal you change the order of your portlets, and also you can have several instances of the same portlet on the same page!!!
You should use qualified form and field names!
Please check the following JPDK methods:
UrlUtils.htmlFormName
HttpPortletRendererUtil.portletParameter

How to set radio group default value

Hi,
I have a radio group in a portal form. How do I set one of them as checked when the form comes up?
Thanks;
Kelly.

It might be possible with javascript. since a radio group is an array, you should loop
through the index to set the correct
checked value.

How to set a dropdown display value

I know how to access the current value of a dropdown box. But how can I set it?
I have a dropdown box and one of the choices is 'Other'. When 'Other' is selected, a text box is enabled so the user can describe what they mean by 'Other'. Now, I want to make the dropdown more robust where if after selecting 'Other' and providing a comment the user willingly or not makes a different selection, the user is warned that the 'Other' description will be deleted with a choice to proceed or not. If the user proceeds the description is deleted and the text box disabled; if the user doesn't want to proceed with the deletion the text box is left enabled with its value untouched and the dropdown value is reset to 'Other'. This is the part that I can't figure out: how do I reset the display value of the dropdown?
Thanks for the help!
Marc

Ok, thanks Malcolm. Yes, you were correct about using the rawValue property to reset the selected value of the dropdown.
Why I got so confused is because all my scripting, including trying to reset the newly selected value, was done in the Change event of the dropdown. The rawValue property 'appears' to behave differently here I think because of the order of the events, where it holds the original value through the whole selection process. So essentially, the rawValue during the Change event doesn't hold the newly selected value and will not hold it until the Change event is fully completed.
So I was able to reset the selected value through the Exit event by using a form variable whose value I set in the Change event. So my Change event uses this line at the right location in my script:
cancelDDSelection.value = "yes";
and my Exit event uses the following;
if (cancelDDSelection.value == "yes") //if the Change event reset this form variable to 'yes'
this.rawValue = "Other"; //reset the selected value to 'Other'
cancelDDSelection.value = "no"; //reset the form variable to its default value
Not sure if there's a better to do this, but all works as I wanted it to now.

How to set a variable's value from job output

Can anyone point me at documentation on how to set the value of a variable based on the output of a job? We are running TES v6.0.2.153.
The Agent/Adapter is a Linux command line, so the Command could be for example:
echo foo
and I would like a variable named bar to contain the value foo. (Obviously in real life the variable value would be dependent on what the command output)
Thanks in advance,
Martin

One more nugget: to parse the response from a command from a UNIX/Linux agent for a specific string and store that in a variable, I followed Rami's advice and then had to find the string in the output.
The below example puts the first digit of a random number in the variable:
Job Command:
bash -c
Command Parameters:
"'echo' Random number is $RANDOM | perl -ple 's/.*Random number is (\d{1}).*/\1/'"
Note that your command itself (in this case "echo") cannot be put in the Command box, otherwise TES does not interpret the Command Parameters correctly. So you need to set the Command to "bash -c" (run the command in the parameter string), and enter your command and parameters within double quotes in the Command Parameters, with the command being run (in this case "echo") in single quotes at the beginning.
(I also had to make my .bash_profile run without any output to avoid it being prefixed to the variable value.)
Hope this helps,
Martin.

JList: how a set a "name" and "value" for a element

<select>
<option value="5">buddy name 1</option>
<option value="7">buddy name 2</option>

You have to write your own renderer.
example:
public class MyListsRenderer extends JPanel implements ListCellRenderer {
     JTextArea t;
     private LinkedHashMap<Integer, String> departmentsList;
     private LinkedHashMap<Integer, Boolean> checkedList;
     public MyListsRenderer(int tabSize) {
          t = new JTextArea();
          t.setTabSize(tabSize);
     public Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList list, Object value,
               int index, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus) {
          Integer id = (Integer) value;
          // you need to create class that get an id (value) and return name
          //this is my example:
          String name = Contacts.getInstance().getContacts().get(
                    (Integer) value);
          t.setText(name);//this is the text in the list row
          add(t);
          return this;
}

HOW TO SET A ITEM DEFAULT VALUE to today

I have a item using select list and I like to set this item default value as
today's date , such as "select to_char(sysdate,'YYYY-MM-DD') from dual"
HTMLDB failed recongnize the default value, or throw error Error ERR-9132 Error in PLSQL expression for item default code, ...". I have tried each of 3 avaialable Default Value Types
Per http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=443287, it is used to be doable, but the default value type (sql) is no longer avaialble in HTMLDB 2.0
I would appreaciate it very much if anyone has successfully done this before, either set to today or current month

Ching - Did you try a PL/SQL Expression using to_char(sysdate,'YYYY-MM-DD')?
There have been no changes to the item default types available in HTML DB. The thread you referenced is for Oracle Portal, a separate and unrelated product.

How to set a 3 default values for a dependent key flexfield

hi,
I have an inquiry in oracle applications 11i - Oracle General Ledger module, Accounting Key flexfield structure.
we have an independent key segment PROJECT and a dependent key segment SUB-PROJECT.
Can we define 3 dependent value for the SUB-PROJECT to be the default for any new entered value in the PROJECT segment??
e.g creating 3 default SUB-PROJECT values: X, Y, and Z. Any new value entered to the PROJECT key segment will have X, Y and Z by default as it's SUB-PROJECTS.
If the above scenario is possible, please guide me to the best solution...
Thank you...

I can find that the value set of any dependent value set has only one room for a default value.
What are the implications of creating a new Independent value set and assign it to the SubProject segment, on historical data and reports?
thank you...

How to Set Precision of Column Footer Total for Table Bean?

I am doing an OAF extension, and I have a table for which I need to increase the precision of the column values from 2 decimal places to 5. I did this successfully in the view object for the row values, but the table footer totals still have 2 decimal places. I can't seem to find anyway to set this. Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks in Advance,
Kurz

Hi,
// Get a handle to the table footer bean
OATableBean tableBean = ...;
OATableFooterBean tableFooterBean = tableBean.getFooter();
if (tableFooterBean != null)
// Get a handle to the total row bean
OATotalRowBean totalRowBean = tableFooterBean.getTotal();
// If you want to set text for the total button
totalRowBean.setText("Re-Total");
// If you want to hide the recalculate total button
totalRowBean.setReadOnly(true);
Format totalRow Item
You can format the content of the totalRow item programmatically. However, setting a formatting option such as CURRENCY_CODE, on an individual web bean's text attribute, under the total column, does not format the total row's values. Instead, to format the total row's value, use the setAttributeValue(AttributeKey key, Object value) method of oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.beans.table.OAColumnBean in your controller, as shown in the following example:
OAColumnBean columnBean = (OAColumnBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("Salary");
columnBean.setAttributeValue(CURRENCY_CODE,"USD");
User should also be able to format Total column values in Table using formatter like:
oracle.cabu.ui.validate.Formatter formatter = new OADecimalValidater("###0.###;-###0.###","#.##0.###;-#,##0.###"); OAColumnBean columnBean = (OAColumnBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("Salary"); columnbean.setAttributeValue(ON_SUBMIT_VALIDATER_ATTR, formatter);

How to set the parameter ID value for a range

I am trying to call transaction KSB1 (Display actual line items for cost center) by supplying all the default values for the selection options/parameters and skipping the selection screen from the calling program. However, for the cost center range, both HIGH and LOW field have the same PID (i.e. KOS). Same thing for the cost element range. When I set the value for PID "KOS", only the low value got populated.
I tried to pass a BDC table to the
CALL TRANSACTION 'KSB1' USING bdc_tab
, but the PID used before takes higher priority so the bdc_tab values got overwritten by the PID values for those fields.
Does anybody know how to find or set the PID for a selection range? I need PID for Cost center range, cost element range and the period (PID="VPE").
Any advice is appreicated. Thank you
Minami

otherwise try to make use of SUBMIT command.
<b>Hi Preetahm ,
KSB1 is a Report , not a Tcode to maintain master data or any thing like that ?, u can also cross check?</b>
by using SUBMIT command u have to <b>RKAEP000</b> this program along with the selection screen.
regards
