How to use asterisk indicator in footnote

Hello All,
I want to use asterisk indicator instead of Arabic numbers in footnotes, so I changed the footnote number format to the symbol format indicator *, but the asterisk does not increment so that the first
footnote would be displayed as * blah blah, second footnote would be ** blah blah, and third footnote would be *** blah blah. How can I use only the asterisk symbol indicator and also let it increment for each footnote? I am seeking your assistance with
this. Here is a sample of what I am trying to achieve. Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I'm afraid we don't have such a built-in feature/setting to do this in Word. Actually, you can do this manually. This won't take too much effort if you don't have a giant number of footnotes to be inserted.
When you want to insert a footnote, you can click the Footnotes
Dialog Box Launcher, type any number of asterisk indicators you want into
Custom mark textbox, then click Insert.

Use BAM in ALBPM --- How to use "Business Indicator variable" ?

In ALBPM60_Studio_ReferenceGuide.pdf, there is text like that:
Using Variables in BAM
When creating a Project variable, you can define it as a Business Indicator variable. This allows the variable to be stored in BAM the database.
When you add Business Indicator variable to your process, a column is added to the following BAM database tables:Workload, Task Performance and Process Performance. The name of this column is the Business Indicator name preceded by the prefix "V_".
If you define a business dimension, the workload table contains one row for each possible value of this business dimension present in the process. Each of this rows will show the quantity of instances that match that business dimension.
When you define a measurement business variable the sum of this variable's value for all in flight is stored into workload table. If business dimensions were defined as well, then this sum will be divided into as many rows as business dimension values present in flight instances.
Task performance table stores one row for each instance that completes an activity. Each of these rows contains the value of dimensions and measurements at the time the instance completed the activity.
In a similar way, process performance table stores one row for each instance that gets to the end activity. Each of these rows contains the value of dimensions and measurements at the time the instance completed the whole process.
QUESTION:
1. What's meaning is that writed in bold italic? (Can anybody give me a samaple?)
2. How to use Range of Business Indicator variable?(When I set range in my sample,this varible can't save into BAM_WORKLOAD, BAM_TASKPERFORMANCE, BAM_PROCESSPERFORMANCE)

How to use ssrs indicator based on expression ??

Hii all
I have a condition to show my data
like =iif(count(fields.file.value)>0,"yes","")
in place of this i want to place a green tick indicator to display count
how can i use indicator it in textbox ??
guide me ...
Dilip Patil..

Hi ,
Instead of the text box you can use the Indicator control itself. Still if you would like to use the text box , the only way i could think of changing the background image of the text box based on the above expression.

How to use progress indicator which block the user for editing ?

Hi All,
I have a requirement where i need to show a round progress bar while processing to the database.For example :- I have a bounded taskflow and inside it I have a two jspx page called as "First.jspx" and "Second.jspx".And i have two textboxes and one "Save" button on first.jspx page.
Now when user puts the values in the textboxes and hits the "Save" button , my ticker or progress indicator should say "Please wait while processing" and as soon as the transaction is complete , i need to show another page which is "Second.jspx" page. "Save" button action has method inside a managed bean which has some functionality and then it executes the VO(View Object) and commits the data.
How should i implement the indicator?
I have read this article :- http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/42-progressbarcolor-169184.pdf but it doesn't fit to my requirement.I need indicator which holds the user to edit anything on the page.Like what we get when we do any transaction in banks while navigating to payment gateway.
Please suggest!!!
Thanks and Regards,

How to use statement "search" to find out the asterisk in a string?

Hi Guys,
   I encouter this question:I need to use "search" statement to find out the asterisk or the underscore in one string,you know these two symbols are wildcards. I don't know how to use statement "search" to find them??
   could you please give me some help!!
Thanks a lot,Villy.Lv
Edited by: Villy Lv on Sep 26, 2010 6:50 AM

Hi,
You cant usesearch statement, rather did you try with CS using IF condition? even you can go with loop statement too.
DATA STRING TYPE STRING.
DATA C TYPE C.
DATA LEN TYPE I VALUE 0.
DATA I TYPE I VALUE 0.
LEN = STRLEN(STRING).
LOOP LEN > I
     C = STRING+I.
     IF(C == '*' OR C == '_').
     ENDIF.
     I = I + 1.
ENDLOOP.
This way also you can use.
Hope this may help you.
Regards!

How do i drag indicator control type on WPF instead of using Drag and Drop points

In my WPF application, i have a window which is docked with the screen. i want to automate to expand the window using an Indicator control type, by sliding it. As of now i use StartDrag and StopDrag using specific points, which is not correct when it runs
in many other screens.
Could you please let me know, is there way to slide the control (to set window display size to viewable) without using drag and drop action using points.

Hi Pavithra,
>> As of now i use StartDrag and StopDrag using specific points, which is not correct when it runs in many other screens.
To really understanding this issue, could you share us what you mean by ”which is not correct”? It would be much helpful if you could share us a screen shoot about your UI and your issue.
>> Could you please let me know, is there way to slide the control (to set window display size to viewable) without using drag and drop action using points
Do you mean that the control of the WPF is invisible and you want to set the window display size to make it visible? If so, I think you could use the Mouse.MoveScrollWheel Method to change the windows view until the control is visible. The link below might
be useful to you:
# CodedUI cann't find the controls outside the screen view, Mouse.MoveScrollWheel doesn't work too

How to use abap debugger and se80

can any body give easy deatils about it?

Hi
Debugger
This section of the ABAP Workbench documentation provides information on how to use the Debugger as a test tool for finding errors in the source code of an ABAP program.
Functional Overview
Use
The ABAP Debugger is an integrated test tool within the ABAP Workbench. You use it to check the program logic and to find errors in the source code of an ABAP program. In the Debugger, you can step through the source code of a program. The running program is interrupted after each step, allowing you to check its processing logic and the results of individual statements.
As of Release 6.10, you can also run Business Server Pages (BSP) in the debugging mode. You can also display and set breakpoints here. Business Server Pages can be displayed in the Object Navigator when you select an appropriate application under BSP Application.
Features
The Debugger provides an efficient means of identifying errors in ABAP programs. It contains the following functions:
Ways of starting the Debugger
Choosing different views
Choosing different execution options in the Debugger
Displaying source code in the Debugger
Setting and deleting breakpoints
Setting and deleting watchpoints
Stopping a program at a particular statement or event
Displaying and changing field contents at runtime
Displaying ABAP Objects and references
Displaying and positioning strings
Setting and deleting database locks
Opening the ABAP Editor, or Object Navigator
System settings and runtime warnings
Starting the Debugger
There are two possible strategies for starting the Debugger in the ABAP Workbench:
By setting breakpoints then running the program
By running the program in debugging mode.
Setting Breakpoints
A breakpoint is a signal in a specific line of the program source code. This signal indicates to the ABAP runtime processor to stop the program at the relevant line and start the ABAP Debugger. A distinction is made between static and dynamic breakpoints. For further information about the different types of breakpoints and how to use them, refer to Breakpoints.
Direct Processing
You can start the Debugger without previously having set breakpoints. This is the best procedure to use when you want to test a program right from the beginning. It is also a useful procedure if you are not overly familiar with the program and therefore are not sure where best to set breakpoints. You can start the Debugger as follows:
From the Object Navigator
Select a report or transaction and choose Program ® Test ® Debugging.
From the ABAP Editor
Choose Program ® Execute ® Debugging (or the Debugging pushbutton).
From any screen
Choose System ® Utilities ® Debug ABAP.
From any screen
Enter /h in the command field.
Display Modes in the Debugger
When you are debugging a program, there are various display modes that you can use. All of the display modes have the same structure. The top part of the screen displays an extract of the program source code. The bottom part displays the information specifically available in that display mode. There are also pushbuttons on the screen allowing you to switch to the most frequently-used display modes.
Display Modes Available Using Pushbuttons
Fields
The scrollable field display contains the contents of up to eight fields. The contents of the three most important system fields are always displayed. This is the default display mode in the Debugger. See also Processing Fields
Table
Displays the contents of an internal table. This mode allows you to display and edit the entries in an internal table. See also Processing Internal Tables
Breakpoints
A scrollable display containing up to 30 breakpoints. Next to each breakpoint is a counter. You can also delete breakpoints in this display. See also Managing Dynamic Breakpoints
Watchpoints
You can set a watchpoint for a field so that the program is interrupted whenever the value of that field changes. This display mode contains a list of watchpoints, the fields and programs to which they are assigned, the current values of the fields, and the conditions upon which the watchpoint is activated. See also Setting Watchpoints
Calls
This mode displays the current sequence of events, and the sequence of calls up to the current breakpoint. The last active call is displayed at the top of the list; previous calls are listed in reverse chronological order. When an event (for example, START-OF-SELECTION) concludes, it is deleted from the display.
Overview
This mode displays the structure of the program. It lists its events, subroutines, and modules, and shows which sections belong to which events. It also displays the section currently being processed.
Settings
This mode displays the current Debugger settings. You can change the settings by selecting or deselecting various options. For further information, refer to Settings and Warnings
Other Display Modes
You can access other display modes by choosing Goto ® Display data object.
Single field
Displays the contents and technical attributes of a field.
Structured
field
Displays the components of a structure, along with their contents and attributes. If you double-click a component, the system displays detailed information for it.
Strings
Display the content and current length of the string. You can also display part of the content by means of offset and length.
Internal table
Displays the type, line numbers and contents of an internal table.
Object
Displays the structure of an ABAP Object.
For further information on these displays, refer to Displaying Attributes and Displaying ABAP Objects
Checking System Programs for Errors
To check a program or program component that is part of the ABAP Workbench (for example, the Screen Painter), you must use the system Debugger. To start the system Debugger, choose System ® Utilities ® Debug System from any screen. To stop the system Debugger, choose Debugger ® Debugging off.
Displaying Program Attributes
You can display the attributes Fixed Point Arithmetic, System Program, and Unicode Checks of the program that has just been executed by choosing Goto ® Further Information ® Program Attributes.
Restarting the Debugger
If you choose Debugging ® Restart, debugging mode is stopped and the system takes you to the initial screen of the last transaction you called. If, for example, you started an ABAP program in debugging mode from transaction SE38 (ABAP Editor), choosing Debugging ® Restart will take you back to the screen titled ABAP Editor: Initial Screen. If you want to restart the program in debugging mode, choose Debugging.
Breakpoints
Apart from direct execution of an ABAP program in the Debugger, it is also possible to start the Debugger call by the exact setting of a breakpoint. This is achieved by setting one or more of these breakpoints in the program. A breakpoint is a signal at a particular point in the program that tells the ABAP runtime processor to interrupt processing and start the Debugger. The program runs normally until the breakpoint is reached.
There is also a special kind of breakpoint called a watchpoint. When you use watchpoints, the Debugger is not activated until the contents of a particular field change. For further information, refer to Watchpoints.
Breakpoint Variants
The Debugger contains different breakpoint variants:
Static
The BREAK-POINT statement in an ABAP program. Static breakpoints are not normally user-specific. However, you can make them user-specific.
Directly-set
dynamic breakpoints
Can be set in the ABAP Editor or the Debugger. Dynamic breakpoints are always user-specific, and are deleted when you log off from the R/3 System.
Breakpoints
at statement
The Debugger stops the program directly before the specified statement is executed.
Breakpoints
at subroutine
The Debugger stops the program directly before the specified subroutine is called.
Breakpoint at function module
The Debugger stops the program directly before the specified function module is called.
Breakpoint at method
The Debugger stops the program directly before the specified method is called.
Breakpoints at system exceptions
The Debugger stops the program directly after a system exception, that is, after a runtime error has been intercepted.
Static Breakpoints
Static breakpoints are not normally user-specific. Once a user has inserted the statement BREAK-POINT or BREAK name in an ABAP program, the system always interrupts the program at that point for that user or only for the user name. This procedure is only useful in the development phase of an application, when the program execution is always to be interrupted at the same place. For further information, refer to Static Breakpoints.
In HTTP sessions, a static breakpoint is skipped if you did not set additional dynamic HTTP breakpoints in the editor of a BSP page. Instead, a corresponding system log entry is written, which can be checked using transaction SM21.
Dynamic Breakpoints
Dynamic breakpoints are user-specific. Therefore, you should use them if you only want the program to be interrupted when you run it yourself, not when it is being executed by other users. All dynamic breakpoints are deleted when you log off from the R/3 System.
Dynamic breakpoints are more flexible than static breakpoints, because you can deactivate or delete them at runtime. They have the following advantages:
You do not have to change the program code
You can set them even when the program is locked by another programmer
You can define a counter that only activates the breakpoint after it has been reached
Special dynamic breakpoints are useful when you want to interrupt a program directly before a particular ABAP statement, a subroutine, or an event, but do not know exactly where to find it in the source code. Event here is used to refer to the occurrence of a particular statement, for example, or calling up a method. Special dynamic breakpoints are user-specific. You can only set them in the Debugger. For further information, refer to Dynamic Breakpoints.
In HTTP sessions, the system stops both at static and dynamic breakpoints if a dynamic breakpoint was set in the editor of a BSP page before program execution.
Lifetime and Transfer of Breakpoints
A static breakpoint remains intact as long as the BREAK-POINT or BREAK-POINT name statement is not removed from the source code. Without saving, dynamic breakpoints only remain intact in the relevant internal session. However, they are effective during the entire user session, if they are saved by choosing Breakpoints ® Save in the ABAP Debugger. For more details on the subject of sessions and user sessions, refer to Modularization Techniques in the ABAP keyword documentation.
If you call an HTTP session during a user session, only the HTTP breakpoints are loaded when the HTTP session is started. You activate HTTP debugging in the ABAP Editor by choosing Utilities ® Settings ® HTTP Debugging. Depending on the setting, the system then displays either the HTTP or standard breakpoints in the Editor.
If you call an update session during a user session, breakpoints that were defined beforehand in the calling processing unit are copied to the new update session, where they can be displayed under Breakpoints. If, in the ABAP Debugger, you check Update Debugging under Settings and then, for example, call the update module func using CALL FUNCTION func IN UPDATE TASK, a new window is opened in which you can debug this function module in the update session. All the breakpoints that were set in the calling processing unit can also be processed here.
Breakpoints at Statements
You can use this special kind of dynamic breakpoint to interrupt a program directly before an ABAP statement is processed.
Prerequisites
You must already be running the program in the Debugger.
Procedure
To set a breakpoint at an ABAP statement:
1.Choose Breakpoint ® Breakpoint at ® Statement...
The following dialog box appears:
2.Enter the ABAP statement.
The system sets a breakpoint at all points in the program at which the ABAP statement occurs.
3.Choose ENTER.
The breakpoint applies to all lines containing the specified statement.
Result
The system confirms the breakpoint and adds it to the list in the display. When you finish your debugging session, the breakpoint is automatically deleted unless you have explicitly saved it.
Breakpoints at Subroutines
You can use this special kind of dynamic breakpoint to interrupt a program directly before a subroutine is called.
Prerequisites
You must already be running the program in the Debugger.
Procedure
To set a breakpoint for a subroutine:
Choose Breakpoint ® Breakpoint at ® Event/Subroutine.
The following dialog box then appears:
Enter the name of the subroutine before which you want to interrupt the program. By default, the Program field contains the name of the program that is currently active. The system sets a breakpoint wherever the specified subroutine occurs in the program code.
Choose ENTER.
Result
The system confirms the breakpoint. The breakpoint is added to the breakpoints displayed.
Breakpoints at Function Module
You can use this kind of dynamic breakpoint to interrupt a program directly before a function module is called.
Prerequisites
You must already be running the program in the Debugger.
Procedure
To set a breakpoint for a function module:
Choose Breakpoint ® Breakpoint at ® Function module...
The following dialog box appears:
Enter the name of the function module before which you want to interrupt the program. The system sets a breakpoint wherever the specified event, module pool, or subroutine occurs in the program code.
Choose ENTER.
Result
If you entered a valid function module name, the system confirms that the breakpoint has been set. If the function module exists in the system, the new breakpoint is added to the display list.
Breakpoints at Methods
You can use this special kind of dynamic breakpoint to interrupt a program directly before a method is called.
Prerequisites
You must be already running the program in the debugger.
Procedure
To set a breakpoint for methods:
1. Choose Breakpoint ® Breakpoint at ® Method...
The following dialog box then appears:
2. Enter the name of the method and class before which you want to interrupt the program. A breakpoint is then set each time the specified processing block appears in the source code.
3. Choose ENTER.
Result
The system confirms the breakpoint. The breakpoint is added to the list in the display.
Breakpoints at System Exceptions
You can use this special form of dynamic breakpoint to interrupt a program immediately after a runtime error has occurred.
Prerequisites
You must already be running the program in the Debugger.
Procedure
To set a breakpoint at a system exception:
Choose Breakpoint ® Breakpoint at ® System exception.
Result
The system confirms the breakpoint. The breakpoint is added to the breakpoints displayed.
When a system exception is triggered, a warning triangle appears in the line containing the statement that caused it. If you double-click the warning triangle, the internal name of the runtime error appears.
Static Breakpoints
You should only use static breakpoints during the development phase of an application. You must remove them from your program before you transport it.
Setting Breakpoints
To set a static breakpoint, use the ABAP statement BREAK-POINT . Place the breakpoint in the line at which you want to interrupt the program.
program RSDEBUG_01.
if SY-SUBRC 0.
break-point.
endif.
When you run the program, the runtime processor interrupts it when the breakpoints occur. You can number your breakpoints to make them easier to identify ( BREAK-POINT 1, BREAK-POINT 2 ).
Static breakpoints are not normally user-specific. The program is, therefore, always interrupted as soon as the runtime processor reaches the line containing the breakpoint. The program is interrupted regardless of the user who executes it.
However, you can set user-specific static breakpoints using the BREAK statement followed by your user name. For example, if you use the statement BREAK SMITH , the program is only interrupted when user Smith runs it. Although user-specific breakpoints appear in the program code, they are not active when other users run the program. You should, however, be careful if an application is being used by several users with the same name.
Deleting Breakpoints
Since static breakpoints apply to all users, you must remove them from the program once you have finished testing it. In the ABAP Editor, you can find breakpoints quickly by choosing Utilities ® Global search. You can also use the Extended Program Check to find them.
If you do not remove static breakpoints from your program, they will be transported to your production system. This could cause serious problems in the production system.
Dynamic Breakpoints
You can set up to 30 dynamic breakpoints without changing the program code. Dynamic breakpoints can be set either in the ABAP Editor or directly in the Debugger.
Setting Dynamic Breakpoints in the ABAP Editor
You can set dynamic breakpoints in the ABAP Editor regardless of whether you are in display or change mode. You can also set breakpoints directly from within the Debugger at runtime. To set a dynamic breakpoint in the ABAP Editor:
Position the cursor on the line of the source code at which you want to set the breakpoint.
Choose Utilities ® Breakpoints ® Set or the Stop icon. The system confirms that the breakpoint has been set.
To display a list of all dynamic breakpoints in a program, choose Utilities ® Breakpoints ® Display. You can use this list to navigate to a particular breakpoint or to delete one or more breakpoints from the program.
Setting Dynamic Breakpoints in Debugging Mode
To set a dynamic breakpoint in the Debugger:
Position the cursor on the line in which you want to set the breakpoint.
Select the line by double-clicking it or choosing Breakpoint ® Set/delete.
The system sets the breakpoint, and displays a small stop sign to the left of the relevant line. If the line already contained a breakpoint, it is deleted.
When you finish your debugging session, the breakpoint is automatically deleted unless you have explicitly saved it.
Saving Breakpoints
If you want to leave the Debugger temporarily, you can save your dynamic breakpoints so that they are still active when you return to the Debugger within the same terminal session.
To save the breakpoints that you have set in the Debugger:
Choose Breakpoint ® Save.
The system saves all of the breakpoints that you have set in the current program. These breakpoints will remain active until you either explicitly delete them or log off from the system.
You can also delete breakpoints that you have saved:
By deleting individual breakpoints from the display and then saving again. In this case, only your selected breakpoints will be deleted.
By choosing Breakpoint ® Delete all. In this case, the system deletes all dynamic breakpoints.
Managing Dynamic Breakpoints
The ABAP Debugger provides a convenient user interface for managing breakpoints. To open the breakpoint display, choose Breakpoints, or, from the menu, Goto ® Control debugging ® Breakpoints.
Example
Functions
This display mode contains the following functions for breakpoints:
Breakpoint Display
The scrollable breakpoint display contains up to 30 dynamic breakpoints. For breakpoints that you set directly, the program name and line number at which the breakpoint occurs are displayed. For special breakpoint forms, the list displays the statements, events, subroutines, and module calls at which the relevant breakpoints are set.
Counter
In the breakpoint display, you can specify a counter. When you use a counter, the breakpoint is not activated until it has been reached a specified number of times. For example, if you enter 5 for the counter, the breakpoint is not activated until it is reached for the fifth time. After the breakpoint has been activated, it remains so, and the counter no longer appears in the breakpoint display.
Deleting Breakpoints
Position the cursor on the breakpoint that you want to delete, and either double-click the line or choose Breakpoint ® Set/delete. To delete all breakpoints, choose Breakpoint ® Delete all.
Activating and Deactivating Breakpoints
Position the cursor on the breakpoint that you want to activate or deactivate and choose Breakpoint ® Activate/deactivate.
Watchpoints
Like a breakpoint, a watchpoint is an indicator in a program that tells the ABAP runtime processor to interrupt the program at a particular point. Unlike breakpoints, however, watchpoints are not activated until the contents of a specified field change. Watchpoints, like dynamic breakpoints, are user-specific, and so do not affect other users running the same program. You can only define watchpoints in the Debugger.
Use
You set watchpoints in the Debugger to monitor the contents of specific fields. They inform you when the value of a field changes. When the value changes, the Debugger interrupts the program.
Features
You can set up to five watchpoints in a program.
See also Setting Watchpoints.
You can also specify the conditions on which a watchpoint is to become active.
You can specify logical conditions between up to five conditional watchpoints.
See Specifying a Logical Expression.
You can define watchpoints as either local or global. If you define a global watchpoint, it is active in all called programs. Local watchpoints are only active in the specified program.
You can change and delete watchpoints.
See Changing Watchpoints.
You can use watchpoints to display changes to the references of strings, data and object references, and internal tables.
See Memory Monitoring with Watchpoints
Setting Watchpoints
If you want to interrupt a program when the contents of a field or structure change, use a watchpoint. You can set up to five watchpoints, including watchpoints for strings.
A watchpoint can be either local or global. Local watchpoints are only valid in the specified program. Global watchpoints are valid in the specified program, and also in all the other programs it calls.
Procedure
To set a watchpoint, start the Debugger and proceed as follows:
Choose Breakpoint ® Create watchpoint or the corresponding pushbutton. The Create Watchpoint dialog box appears:
Decide whether you want to set a local or global watchpoint.
Enter the program and the name of the field for which you want to set the watchpoint. In the Program field, the name of the program currently running is always defaulted.
If you want your watchpoint to be activated each time the contents of the field change, the definition is now complete, and you can return to the Debugger by pressing ENTER .
To create a conditional watchpoint, that is only activated when a particular situation arises, choose one of the following relational operators.
Operator
Meaning
<
Less than
<=
Less than or equal
=
Equal
<>
Not equal
=
Greater than or equal
Greater than
You can use the Comparison field option to specify whether the comparison is to be carried out with a value that you specify or with the contents of another field. Depending on your choice from step 6, enter a value or a field for the comparison.
Result
The system confirms the watchpoint and adds it to the list in the display. When you finish your debugging session, the watchpoint is automatically deleted unless you have explicitly saved it.
Specifying Logical Links
If you have more than one conditional watchpoint, you can specify a logical link between them:
OR
Only one of the specified conditions must be met
AND
All of the conditions must be met.
Changing Watchpoints
Choose Goto ® Control debugging ® Watchpoints or the Watchpoints pushbutton to display the watchpoint list. The following dialog box appears:
Choose the pencil icon in the line containing the watchpoint you want to change.
Change the watchpoint attributes in the Create/Change Watchpoint.
Choose ENTER .
Deleting Watchpoints
You cannot delete watchpoints by choosing Breakpoint ® Delete or Breakpoint ® Deactivate/activate. Instead, proceed as follows:
Choose Goto ® Control debugging ® Watchpoints or the Watchpoints pushbutton to display the watchpoint list.
Choose the trashcan icon in the line containing the watchpoint you want to delete.
Memory Monitoring with Watchpoints
You can use watchpoints to display changes to the references of strings, data and object references, and internal tables. By placing an ampersand (&) in front of the object name, you can display the reference in question in hexadecimal format. With internal tables, you can also display the table header by placing an asterisk (*) at the beginning of the name.
&objectname
Displays the references of strings, internal tables as well as data and object references
*itab
Displays the table header of the internal table itab
Example
If a watchpoint is set for the object in question at runtime, the program is stopped as soon as the reference is changed. A short dump can be intercepted in this way to stop the program being terminated when the memory is overwritten.
Analyzing Source Code
The Debugger contains an extensive range of functions that help you to analyze the source code of a program. You can step through the source code of a program in four different ways. For further information, refer to Stepping Through the Source Code
For information about functions within the source code display, see Displaying the Source Code
There are also different display modes that provide various information and display the contents of individual fields, tables, and so on:

How can I opearate indicator outside while loop?

I do small program, I have many while loops and I want to connect wire (in my application) from each loop to AND gate then to another while loop, but how can I operate these wires to agree with the change of my application inside while loops.
If not clear :
In another words, suppose I want to operate indicator ouside the while loop. How can I operate indicator outside while loop, so when my application become TRUE (inside while loop) the indicator will be ON (outside while loop) and when my application become FALSE(inside while loop) the indicator will be OFF (outside while loop).
Help me if you have any idea please..........................

Hi Rammo,
For the wire to carry the boolean condition from the while loop to an 'and' gate outside, the while loop must stop running
If you want the while loop to keep on running and still pass a boolean value to a destination outside the while loop, use any one of these: property nodes, global or local variables.
i am still not clear as to what you intend to say by this sentence
" I want the wire that comes out from the while loop will become TRUE if it in my application is TRUE inside while loop and the opposite is true. Because I want to connect the wire that comes out from while loop to AND gate than to another application"
plz tell me if the first part of this mail of mine answers your doubt or do you need more information?
regards

How to use the "identify" feature in new 6.3.1 airport utility?

how to use the "identify" feature in new 6.3.1 airport utility?
so you can find the basestations in larger networks?

There is a workaround, which is to use Airport Utility 5.6.
I can confirm that 5.6 will run on 10.8.4 Mountain Lion, it will recognize the new 2013 Airport Extreme Base Station (A1521) running firmware 7.7.1, and it will give you access to view the device's Log & Statistics, DHCP Clients, and Profiles.
Four caveats:
1) The easiest way to install it is to download the app itself, not an installer or through the App Store. There is a page here where you can download the app: http://coreyjmahler.com/2013/03/08/airport-utility-5-6-on-os-x-v10-8-mountain-li on/ This way, you still have both versions, Airport Utility 6.x.x and 5.6.
2) When you launch 5.6, you'll get a message saying a newer version is available and asking if you want to update. Click Cancel to proceed into the utility.
3) When you click the Manual Setup button in 5.6, you'll get a warning dialog that "This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this AirPort wireless device and might improperly configure the device if you continue to use it. Check www.apple.com/support/airport for the latest version of AirPort Utility." You can click Continue to get into the utility without issue.
4) You should probably only use 5.6 to view the additional status details. I have not tried to modify and save any AEBS settings using 5.6. There are other discussions here in the forums indicating that attempting to save settings via 5.6 that are no longer available in 6.3.1 will not actually save the settings to the AEBS even if both utilities indicate that the settings are changed. See https://discussions.apple.com/message/22677993#22677993
So, even though you can't use it to modify settings no longer available in Airport Utility 6.3.1, using Airport Utility 5.6 to view DHCP clients, Logs and Statistics is very useful for troubleshooting network issues.
PS - There are two ways to get to the DHCP Clients list, neither of which is obvious The first is to go to the Airport pane -> Summary tab and click on the "Wireless Clients:" label in the Summary display. All of the labels from "Wireless Mode:" down on the Summary display operate as links to view/edit the corresponding info/settings, which is also not obvious at first glance. Also not obvious, clicking on "Wireless Clients:" actually brings up a new pane with three tabs: Logs, Wireless Clients, and DHCP Clients. You can also get to the same pane by going to the Advanced pane and clicking on the Logs and Statistics button.
I hope this is helpful information. Took me a while to find out how to do this.

How to use oracle OCIANYDATASET?

Hi, All
When I try to update oracle example "Pipelined Table Functions Example: C Implementation" to return OCIANYDATASET, but from oracle documnet, I cannot find any example about how to use OCIANYDATASET, would you please help me out of this issue, any example or advice is benefit for this issue. thanks.
The PL/SQL below works OK now:
member function ODCITableFetch(self in out StockPivotImpl, nrows in number, record_out out anydataset) return number is
rc SYS_REFCURSOR;
value pls_integer;
cur StockTable%ROWTYPE;
begin
    record_out := null;
     DBMS_ODCI.RestoreRefCursor(rc, self.cur_n);
    if row_was_returned = 1 then
      return ODCIconst.success;
    end if;
    row_was_returned := 1;
    anydataset.begincreate(dbms_types.typecode_object, self.row_types, record_out);
     loop
          fetch rc into cur;
          EXIT WHEN rc%NOTFOUND;
          record_out.addinstance;
        record_out.piecewise();
          -- Setting the returned values:
          record_out.setvarchar2(cur.ticker);
          record_out.setnumber (cur.openprice);
          record_out.setnumber (nrows);
          record_out.setvarchar2('new_column');
     end loop;
     close rc;
    record_out.endcreate;
    return odciconst.success;
end;But how to implement below C function, especially how to append value into OCIAnyDataSet and return it?

Thanks for your reply, Yes, I have read the doc, but it seems like that doesn't work in my code. I'm not sure whether I missed something. My steps below:
int ODCITableFetch(OCIExtProcContext* extProcCtx, StockPivotImpl* self,
                    StockPivotImpl_ind* self_ind, OCINumber* nrows,
                    OCIAnyDataSet* outSet, short* outSet_ind)
OCIAnyData* myData = (OCIAnyData*)0;
status = OCIAnyDataSetBeginCreate(handles.svchp, handles.errhp, OCI_TYPECODE_OBJECT, (OCIType *)self->out, OCI_DURATION_SESSION, &outSet);
status = OCIAnyDataSetAddInstance(handles.svchp, handles.errhp, outSet, &myData);
//AAA
OCIStringAssignText(handles.envhp, handles.errhp, (text *)"CA", 2, &str);
checkerr(&handles, OCIAnyDataAttrSet(handles.svchp, handles.errhp, (OCIAnyData*)myData, (OCITypeCode)OCI_TYPECODE_VARCHAR2,(OCIType *)0, (dvoid *)&indp, (void*)str, sizeof(str), FALSE)); // Crashed here
//BBB
status = OCIAnyDataSetEndCreate(handles.svchp,handles.errhp, outSet);
//CCC
return ODCI_SUCCESS;
It crashed in function OCIAnyDataAttrSet(), but when I added the function OCITypeByName() and OCIAnyDataBeginCreate() in AAA and OCIAnyDataEndCreate() in BBB, no error happened again and I can get the instance in CCC with function OCIAnyDataSetGetInstance() and I also can get the value via function OCIAnyDataAttrGet() after CCC from the instance, but when I run the query, it is no rows selected, why?

How to use java.sql.Date ?

hi there:
I used
ps.setDate(27, new java.sql.Date(new java.util.Date().getTime()));
ps.executeUpdate();
in my code to insert the current date to the 27th column of one table, this column's type is DATE, the database is ORACLE. However, I got the error like this one: ORA-01843: not a valid month.
I think I incorrectly used the java.sql.Date API to cause this error. So anyone can tell me how to use it correctly?
Thanks for the answers,
Sway

Other columns are all VARCHAR2 type;
The oracle error message indicated that this is a
date-related one. 27th are the only column using DATE
So I came to draw my conclusion that the SQL might be
wrong.Except that if, for example, the date column is actually at index 26 then Oracle might try to convert the string being passed in (at 26) as a date. But it isn't a date. So then oracle is going to throw an exception indicating that something is wrong - like that the month is invalid.

How to Use JavaScript in Controller Class...

Hi All,
Can any one tell me how to use JavaScript in Controller Class.
Requirement is:
I have
Radio Group(RG1),
Two Radio Buttons(RB1,RB2),
Two messageTextInput(MTI1,MTI2),
if i click RB1 i should Prompt to the end user to "Enter value for MTI1" or
If i click RB2 i should prompt "Enter value for MTI2" while submitting page.
Please let me know the steps to use JavaScript and the above client validation...
Regards
Alem...

Using javascript is against the standard. I can tell you a workaround instead of you setting the javascript, check if that would be acceptable.
You can use PPR and set the required property on the messageTextInput on clicking of the radio button. By doing this you will let UIX generate the javascript for you to handle the client side validation. But the validation will happen only on click of the submit button. The visual indicator is good enough to tell that the value has to be entered to the item.

Need Expert's Advice - How to use LabView Efficiently and to increase Readability

My application is fairly complex. It is a real world testing applications that simultaneously controls 16 servo motors running various stress testing routines asynchronously and all at the same time. The application includes queues, state machines, sub VI's, dynamically launched VI's, subpanels, semaphores, XML files, ini files, global variables, shared variables, physical analog and digital interfaces and industrial networking. Just about every technique and trick that LabView 2010 has to offer and the kitchen sink as well.
Still I am not happy with the productivity that LabVIEW 2010 has provided, nor the readability of my final product.
Sometimes there are too many wires. Much of my state machines have a dozen or more wires just going from input to output, doing nothing, just because one or two states in the machine need that variable in some state. Yeah, I could spend alot of time bundling and unbundling and rebundling those values, but I don't think that would improve things much.
We have had a long discussion about the use or misuse of Local variables in this forum and I don't want to repeat that here. I use them sparingly where I think it is relatively safe to do so. I also have a bug whenever I try and copy some code that contains one or more local variables. On Pasting the code with local variables, the result is something other than what I expected, I am not sure what. I have to undo the paste and rebuild the code one object at a time.
I am also having trouble using trouble using Variable Property Nodes. When I cut and paste them, they often loose their reference object and I have to go back into the code and redo the Link To on each one. That wastes alot of time and effort.
Creating subVIs is often not appropriate when the code makes many references to objects on the Front Panel. Some simple code will turn into a bunch of object references and dereferences which also tends to take alot of work to clean up and often does not help overall readability in many cases. I use subVIs when appropriate, but because of the interface overhead, not as often as I would like to. My application already has over 150 sub VIs.
The LabView Clean Up Diagram function often works poorly. It leaves way too much empty space between objects, making my diagrams 3 to 4 24" screens wide. That is way too much and difficult to navigate effectively. The Clean Up function puts objects in strange places relative to other objects used nearby. It does a poor job routing wires and often makes deciphering diagrams more difficult rather than easier.
My troubleshooting strategies don't work well for large diagrams and complex applications. The diagrams are so complex that execution highlighting may take 20 minutes for a single pass. Probes help, but breakpoint aren't of much use, because single stepping afterwards often takes you to somewhere else in the same diagram. I can't follow the logic well doing this.
Using structures, I may have Case structures nested 5 to 10 levels deep inside some Event Structure inside a While Loop. Difficult to work with and not very readable.
All and all, I can make it work, but I am not happy about the end result.
I am hoping to benefit from some expert advice from those that are experienced in producing large complex applications efficiently, debugging efficiently and producing readable diagrams that they are proud of.
Can anyone offer their advice on how best to use the LabView features to achieve these results in complex applications? I hope that you can help show me the light.

I'm not an expert but I'm charged out as one at work.
I am off today so I'll share some thoughts that may help or possibly inspire others to chime. I have tried to continually improve my code in those areas and would greatly welcome others sharing their approaches and insights.
Note:
I do refactoring services to help customers with this situation. What I will write does not represent what we do in a code review since our final delverable is a complete final design and that is beyond the scope of this reply.
I'll comment on your points.

In software, we plant our foot when we turn from the design to the development. I have to admit that there where a couple of times when I moved from design to development too early and found myself in a situation like you have described.
How to know when design is done?
Waterfall says "cross every 't' and dot every 'i' " while Agile says "code now worry about design latter" and Bottom-up "says "demo working why bother designing" (Please feel free to coment on these over-simplifications gang).
My answer is not much more helpful for those new to LabVIEW.
My design work is done when my design diagrams are more complicated than the LabVIEW diagrm they describe.

Have you posted any design documents you have? These will help greatly in letting us understand your application. More on diagrams latter.
Anytime I see multiple "variations on a theme", I think LVOOP (LabVIEW OOP ) . I'll spare you the LVOOP sales pitch but will testify that once you get your first class cloned off and running as a sibling (or child) you'll appreciate how nice it is to be able to use LVOOP.
Discalimer:
If you don't already have an OOP frame of mind, the learning curve will be steep.

Full disclaimer:
I used to be of the same opinion and even used performance arguements to make my point. I have since, changed my mind.
Let me illustrate (hopefully). This link (if it works for you, use lefthand pane to navigate hierachy) shows an app I wrote from about 10 years ago when I was in my early days of routing wires. Even the "Main" VI started to suffer from too many wires as this preview from that links shows.
Clustering related data values using Type Definitions is the first method I would would urge. This makes it easier to find the VIs that use the Type def via the browse relationships>>>callers. If I implement my code correctly, any problem I believe is associated with a particualr piece of data that is a Type def has to be in one of the VIs that use that type def therefore easier to maintain.
When I wrote "related data" I am refering data normalization rules (which my wife knows and I picked-up from her and I claim no expertise in this area) where only values that are used together are grouped. E.G. Cluster named File contains "Path" and "Refnum" but not "PhaseOfMoon". This works out nicely with first creating sub-VI since all of the data related to file operations are right there whe I need it and it leads into the next concept ...
When I look at a value in a shift register on the diagram taking up space that is only used in a small sub-set of states, I concider using an Action Engine . This moves the wire from the current diagram into the Action Engine (AE), and cleans up the diagram. The AE brings with it built-in protection so provided I keep all of the opearations related to the the Type def inside the AE I am protected when I start using multiple threads that need at that data (trust me, it may not make a difference now but end users are clever). So that extra wire is effective encapsualted and abstracted away from the diagram you are looking at.
But I said earlier that I would not sell LVOOP so I'll show you what LVOOP based LV apps look like to contrast what I was doing ten years ago in that earlier link. This is what the top level VI looks like.
And this is the Analysis mode of that app.
I suspose I should not mention that LVOOP has wizards that automatically create the sub-VI (accessors) that bundle/unbundle the clusters, should I?
Continuing...

That sounds like a usage issue. Posting code to illustrate the process will et us take a shot at figuring out what is happening.

"Back in the day..." LV would not even try to create a sub-VI that involved controls/indicators. I use sub-VIs to maintain a common GUI often but I do it on purpose and when I find myself creating a sub-VI that involves a control/indicator, I hit ctrl-z immediately!
I figure a way around it (AE ?) and then do the sub-VI.
Judging by your brief explanation and assuming you do a LVOOP implementation, I would estimate that app need 750-1500 VIs.

THe clean-up works fine for how I use it. After throwing together "scratch code" and debugging the "rats nest" I'll hit clean-up as a first step. It guess good enough on simple digrams and in some cases inspires me to structure the diagram in a different way that I may not have thought about. If I don't like, ctrl-z.
Good deisgn and modualr implementaion led to smaller diagrams that just don't need thrre screens.

Smaller diagrams single step faster since the sub-VI run full speed. I cringe thinking about a 3-screen diagram with multiple probes open ( shivver!).
Re: Nestested structres
Sub-VIs (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)
If it works you have prven the concept is possible. That is the first step in an application.
I hope that gives you some ideas.
