How to use blank space replace NULL on discoverer viewer

Hi,
There is a report that has a varchar field should show text values, and if NULL, I need it show blank space, and does in disco desktop, but on viewer, the same worksheet shows NULL.
Even I changed in the Tools - Options - Format menu(desktop), it still show NULL on viewer.
why?
please help! thanks!
sammy

Hi Sammy,
Unfortunately ‘some’ of the settings set in Desktop do not carry over to Viewer. These options need to be defined for Viewer itself.
A temporary way to set the Viewer settings is to click on ‘Options’ when logged in Viewer itself. You’ll have to open a responsibility or report before this option becomes available to select. Within here you’ll be able to change the way NULL values are seen. However this method only makes the change for the User you logged in with.
To make the change for all users, it’s best to edit the PREF.TXT file on the Discoverer Server. Please view the documentation below for more information on how to configure Viewer. For windows platform click here : http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/A90287_01/toc.htm,
For Unix platform click here : http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/A90288_01/toc.htm. Once you’ve run the applypreference script, these settings will be forced down to all users of Discoverer.
Hopefully this will help ;-)

This is how to remove all blank spaces in a string:
Create a function in an object script, e.g.:
Script Object Name: myObject
Method Name : function trim(string)
function trim(str){
     return str.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '');
//this function above return the string by replacing blank space by nothing (empty string or null string)
//it only replace if the field is empty, if there is no chars inside
//Show the output value after calling the method
TextField21.rawValue = myObject.trim(TextField21.rawValue);
//Here is a lil proto to see if it works
if (TextField21.rawValue == null){
          xfa.host.messageBox("Null");
} else{
          xfa.host.messageBox("Blank");

Hi,
Just use Condense g_name inside the program lines.
Just to see how it behaves put a hard breakpoint.
Break Username. and check the condense statement.
condense <your field> no-gaps.
Create program lines ahead of printing. give the field you want to condense in the input and output parameters of the program lines.
Use condense inside the program lines.
Thanks,
Vamshi.

Hi,
You Can Remove # in workbook by using macro's.
You Can use the following Code in VB macro to Eliminate #.
Sub SAPBEXonRefresh(queryID As String, resultArea As Range)
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = resultArea.Parent
resultArea.Select
'Remove '#'
Selection.Cells.Replace What:="#", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, MatchByte:=True
resultArea(1, 1).Select
End Sub

How to delete blank space from value of Infoobject in the transfer rule

does anyboady know how to write a routine in the transfer rule in order to delete ending blank spaces from value of Infoobject 'ORDTEXT'. E.g. value: 'ABM '? After routine, the result should be 'ABM'.
Thanks for any input.

Deleting 'ending blank spaces' from a character type field (ie info-object or text) in SAP is not meaningful. For all usage, a char type field of length 8 having value 'ABM ' is same as 'ABM'.
Ok, HTML is changing the display in the above, so let me restate it
For all usage, a char type field of length 8 having value 'ABM_____' is same as 'ABM', take the underscore character (_) in the first string as a placeholder for space character.

How to use WebCenter Spaces 11g 2.0 Services in WebCenter Interaction 10gR3

Hi,
Can someone explain how to use WebCenter 11g Web 2.0 Services in WebCenter Interaction 10gR3. I have installed Webcenter 11g Spaces. I also have Webcenter Interaction 10gR3 installed. Wanted to find out how can I make use of 11g web 2.0 services i.e. wiki,blog,discussions etc. in WCI 10gR3. How can I configure those services in 10gR3.
As reading oracle notes it says there is a seemless integration of Web 2.0 11g Services in WCI 10gR3 but can't find any steps, tutorials or examples on how to do that. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

How to use Open/Create/Replace File.vi

How to change Open/Create/Replace File.vi to Open File?

Use the routine Write Characters to File.vi found under the File IO palette. It has a boolean control on the front panel. If this is set true, data is appended to the end of an existing file, or a new one is created if the file doesn't exist. If the control is set to false, the file is always created new--overwriting any existing file with the same name.

How to remove blank space left from Images Word import

Hi all,
I'm working on a document which has been imported from Word, because of the conversion process a lot of images (that where pasted directly from Powerpoint in Word) didn't get converted properly and ended up in different part of the resulting Pages document.
The issue is that the images were found somewhere else, but the space they were occupying in the document was left ..sometimes in that space I find a squared frame which I can easily remove but some other times I just find a blank space which is impossible to remove or select.
This results in breaking the text for 10-13 lines. It is impossible to make the text filling this space. I can assure I cannot select this area with any tool (also by selecting 'make master objects selectable') and Im using the 'show invisibles' mode.
Please any suggestion or advise?
Im available to send a part of the document so anyone may check if wants to help me..
Thanks a lot
cheers

Hi Jerry thanks for your possible help , please find below a part of the text Im working, the issue is at the end of page 16 where I highlighted in yellow the text, I cannot get rid of the space at page 16:
Sorry if the document is in Italian and it is quite understanble for all you..
http://www.wupload.com/file/2677565317/example_of_my_problem.pages
I had to put it on wupload because the file is 77MB, sorry!!!
..and I dunno why...the whole document is 264 pages and is 77,8 MB I thought that only 17 pages were less...
I think thisis another BIG ISSUE thie FILE:.I think there is something hidden in it which is subtracting space...
Actually whne I imported the original document from Word it became 100MB, then I got rid of all the images but still 77MB, in word it was just 12MB with images..
Any more idea/suggestions about this size issue please?
Thanks a lot to everyone
cheers
simo
PS
in some of the footnotes there are some citation I imported using Endnote x5, but this is not affecting too much the size, as before these citations when I imported the document were not

How to insert blank spaces in XML tag?

Hi Experts,
I have a variable of type char and lenght 10 with value "ABCDE". When I write this value in xml tag <TEXT> using simple transformation it ignores the trailing blank spaces and the result xml string looks as <TEXT>ABCDE</TEXT>.
I want the xml tag with trailing blank spaces i.e. it should be like <TEXT>ABCDE     </TEXT>. And suppose if the variable does not contain any value, the xml tag should contain 10 blank spaces like <TEXT>          </TEXT>.
I have tried using the solution given in this link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/44/f52846257a0485e10000000a155369/frameset.htm
but unfortunately it doesn't work.
Please guide me to achieve this.
Regards,
Ravi

ABAP prog:
DATA: text(10)    TYPE c VALUE 'ABCDE',
      xml_xstring TYPE string.
CALL TRANSFORMATION z_test SOURCE root = text
                        RESULT XML xml_xstring.
WRITE xml_xstring.
Transformation:
<?sap.transform simple?>
<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">
<tt:root name="ROOT"/>
<tt:template>
      <Text tt:value-ref="ROOT"/>
</tt:template>
</tt:transform>
Result in xml string:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>#<Text>ABCDE</Text>
Also tried transformation using:
<tt:template>
      <Text>
           <tt:value length="10" ref="ROOT"/>
      </Text>
</tt:template>
Thanks.

How to insert blank spaces at end of a record

Hi All,
i need to write 10 records each of 80 char size. of these 10 records, each record might have different data and the last field will be a filler field which only has space.
for example:
DATA : BEGIN OF gs_mrecord        ,
         id(1)         VALUE'M'     ,
         accno(12)                  ,
         refid(2)      VALUE 'RR'   ,
         sec_cd(4)     VALUE '2437' ,
         sub_typ(1)    VALUE '6'    ,
         sub_dt(5)                  ,
         sub_seq_no(1)              ,
         sec_cd1(4)    VALUE '2437' ,
         sub_dt1(6)                 ,
         record_no(6) TYPE n       ,
         ext_ind(1)                 ,
         plat_id(1)                 ,
         filler_1(1)               ,
         clear_code(3)              ,
         ex_merc_no(16)             ,
         filler_4(4)               , fill blank spaces
         mech_bin_no(6)             ,
         filler(6)             , " fill blank spaces
         END OF gs_mrecord .
like this there are 10 types with 80 char size, however the last field is a filler, in which we need to fill only blank spaces.
when i wrtie this data to the application server file i can't see the spaces and when download(to .TXT file) also i can't see the spaces.
is there anyway that i can keep the spaces at the end of the record.
Please note, in the middle of the record, we can keep the spaces as there is some data after that.
Any hint would be of great help.
Cheers,
SR.

Hi Srinivas
Just a thought, try as below:
Declare a text variable of length 80 characters. Before transferring the record to Output file, move the work area to the text field and add a New Line character at 80th position. Now tranfer this text field to file with length specification.
Eg:
DATA: l_cr(1) TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf,
      l_text(80) TYPE c.
OPEN DATASET ....
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
   LOOP AT <itab> INTO <wa>.
      MOVE <wa> TO l_text.
      l_text+80 = l_cr.
      TRANSFER l_text TO <dsn>.
   ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
Hope that helps, also check the codepage in which you download the file from Application server before Viewing. Maybe checking the file contents via AL11.
Hope it helps.

How to use replaceALL to replace "/" to "\"

i tried to use replaceAll("/","\\") to replace "/" in string "d:/test/test/ ". It doesn't work. anyone can tell me why?

str = str.replaceAll("/", "\\\\");\ is special in String literal in Java source code, so if you have a "String literal like this one" to contain a literal \, you have to use two \\s in the String literal.
\ is also special in regex, so if you want a literal \ in a regex you need to give that regex two of them, that is, \\.
Combining those two yields \\\\ to get a single \ in a regex that is specified by a string literal.

How to use Oracle OAB Fast Formulas in Discoverer-desktop [ for reporting]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to use a fast formula in discoverer-desktop [for reporting]. Currently, we have a disco-report that calcuates the 'monthly salary', but we don't want to use that. Instead, we have a custom fast-formula [xx_oab_monthly_salary] which has the conditions and calculations that we need.
I want to use that formula in discoverer-desktop directly and get the monthly-salary.. i.e., someone needs to create a folder under the business area and add it i believe.. the formula internally calls a function.
when i checked about this with my dba - he said, he can add the 'function', but not the formula. and i need to write the calculation part...
does anyone know how to add it...there shud a way right...
i do not have access to the technical-stuff here..
someone said ["you can wrap the FF_EXEC.run_formula call into your own pl/sql function and map this function into the EUL so that the formula can be called from a workbook.", but this talks about pl/sql-do we need pl/sql
for this].
also, someone else said [ some fast formulas need specific contexts to be set. Depending on whether the fast formula below the only fast formula that you want to recreate in Discoverer.
For a single formula, in general my recommendation is to recreate the fast formula instead of using the ff_exec call].
any quick answers greatly appreciate..
thx,

Hi,
That's right you need to develop the pl/sql function outside of Discoverer using a pl/sql tool or just SQL*plus. I haven't an example to hand, but can dig one up if you need it. Once you have the function developed you can map it into the EUL using Discoverer Administrator. It will then be available to Discoverer Desktop/Plus as a database function when creating calculations. So you can then just add the calculation to an existing or new report.
Alternatively, you can build the pl/sql function into a view and load the view into a new folder using Discoverer Admin.
