How to use certain symbols

Hello,
this is probably a stupid question, but I was wondering how to type the '{' and '}' signs on my macbook. I still haven't figured that one out .
Thanks in advance

Hi Kidyrioku,
do you mean this one: "&" ?
If so, on the german keyboard it is at Shift-6. You can find it on your keyboard through the keyboard-overview app.: Open system preferences, select "International", click the tab "keyboard menu" (the one to the right) and check keyboard overview and character pallet. You will find the app in the Finder menu with the flag in the top-right corner of the screen.
If this answered your question please consider granting some stars: Why reward points?

How to use field symbols in program

how to use field symbols can any one explain with example please..

Hi
Field Symbols
Field symbols are placeholders or symbolic names for other fields. They do not physically reserve space for a field, but point to its contents. A field symbol cam point to any data object. The data object to which a field symbol points is assigned to it after it has been declared in the program.
Whenever you address a field symbol in a program, you are addressing the field that is assigned to the field symbol. After successful assignment, there is no difference in ABAP whether you reference the field symbol or the field itself. You must assign a field to each field symbol before you can address the latter in programs.
Field symbols are similar to dereferenced pointers in C (that is, pointers to which the content operator * is applied). However, the only real equivalent of pointers in ABAP, that is, variables that contain a memory address (reference) and that can be used without the contents operator, are reference variables in ABAP Objects.
All operations programmed with field symbols are applied to the field assigned to it. For example, a MOVE statement between two field symbols moves the contents of the field assigned to the first field symbol to the field assigned to the second field symbol. The field symbols themselves point to the same fields after the MOVE statement as they did before.
You can create field symbols either without or with type specifications. If you do not specify a type, the field symbol inherits all of the technical attributes of the field assigned to it. If you do specify a type, the system checks the compatibility of the field symbol and the field you are assigning to it during the ASSIGN statement.
Field symbols provide greater flexibility when you address data objects:
If you want to process sections of fields, you can specify the offset and length of the field dynamically.
You can assign one field symbol to another, which allows you to address parts of fields.
Assignments to field symbols may extend beyond field boundaries. This allows you to address regular sequences of fields in memory efficiently.
You can also force a field symbol to take different technical attributes from those of the field assigned to it.
The flexibility of field symbols provides elegant solutions to certain problems. On the other hand, it does mean that errors can easily occur. Since fields are not assigned to field symbols until runtime, the effectiveness of syntax and security checks is very limited for operations involving field symbols. This can lead to runtime errors or incorrect data assignments.
While runtime errors indicate an obvious problem, incorrect data assignments are dangerous because they can be very difficult to detect. For this reason, you should only use field symbols if you cannot achieve the same result using other ABAP statements.
For example, you may want to process part of a string where the offset and length depend on the contents of the field. You could use field symbols in this case. However, since the MOVE statement also supports variable offset and length specifications, you should use it instead. The MOVE statement (with your own auxiliary variables if required) is much safer than using field symbols, since it cannot address memory beyond the boundary of a field. However, field symbols may improve performance in some cases.

3. ... TYPE REF TO DATA
4. ... TYPE LINE OF type
5. ... LIKE s

The syntax check performed in an ABAP Objects context is stricter than in other ABAP areas. See Cannot Use Untyped Field Symbols ad Cannot Use Field Symbols as Components of Classes.
Effect
This statement declares a symbolic field called <fs>. At runtime, you can assign a concrete field to the field symbol using ASSIGN. All operations performed with the field symbol then directly affect the field assigned to it.
You can only use one of the additions.
Example
Output aircraft type from the table SFLIGHT using a field symbol:
FIELD-SYMBOLS <PT> TYPE ANY.
DATA SFLIGHT_WA TYPE SFLIGHT.
ASSIGN SFLIGHT_WA-PLANETYPE TO <PT>.
WRITE <PT>.
Addition 1
... TYPE type
Addition 2
... TYPE REF TO cif
Addition 3
... TYPE REF TO DATA
Addition 4
... TYPE LINE OF type
Addition 5
... LIKE s
Addition 6
... LIKE LINE OF s
Addition 7
... TYPE tabkind
Effect
You can define the type of the field symbol using additions 2 to 7 (just as you can for FORM parameters (compare Defining the Type of Subroutine Parameters). When you use the ASSIGN statement, the system carries out the same type checks as for USING parameters of FORMs.
This addition is not allowed in an ABAP Objects context. See Cannot Use Obsolete Casting for FIELD SYMBOLS.
In some cases, the syntax rules that apply to Unicode programs are different than those for non-Unicode programs. See Defining Types Using STRUCTURE.
Effect
Assigns any (internal) field string or structure to the field symbol from the ABAP Dictionary (s). All fields of the structure can be addressed by name: <fs>-fieldname. The structured field symbol points initially to the work area wa specified after DEFAULT.
The work area wa must be at least as long as the structure s. If s contains fields of the type I or F, wa should have the structure s or at least begin in that way, since otherwise alignment problems may occur.
Example
Address components of the flight bookings table SBOOK using a field symbol:
DATA SBOOK_WA LIKE SBOOK.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <SB> STRUCTURE SBOOK
DEFAULT SBOOK_WA.
WRITE: <SB>-BOOKID, <SB>-FLDATE.

How to use Field-symbol with dynamic select query

Can anybody tell me, how to use field-symbols in the dynamic select query.

FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs> { typing | STRUCTURE struc DEFAULT dobj }.
1. ... typing
2. ... STRUCTURE struc DEFAULT dobj
The FIELD-SYMBOLS statement declares a field symbol <fs>. The name conventions apply to the name fs. The angle brackets of the field symbols indicate the difference to data objects and are obligatory. You can declare field symbols in any procedure and in the global declaration section of an ABAP program, but not in the declaration section of a class or an interface. You can use a field symbol in any operand position in which it is visible and which match the typing defined using typing.
After its declaration, a field symbol is initial - that is, it does not reference a memory area. You have to assign a memory area to it (normally using the ASSIGN statement) before you can use it as an operand. Otherwise an exception will be triggered.
eg.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs> TYPE ANY.
DATA: BEGIN OF line,
        string1(10) VALUE '0123456789',
        string2(10) VALUE 'abcdefghij',
      END OF line.
WRITE / line-string1+5.
ASSIGN line-string1+5(*) TO <fs>.
WRITE / <fs>.
output:

How to use field-symbols in MODIFY ... TRANSPORTING and SORT

Hi,
I need to increase the performance of an abap report using the field-symbols. More exactly the code is the following.
TYPES:
BEGIN OF itab_structure.
     INCLUDE STRUCTURE nameofstructure.
TYPES:
     RECNO   LIKE sy-tabix,
END OF itab_structure.
DATA:
itab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF itab_structure
       WITH HEADER LINE
       WITH NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY INITIAL SIZE 0.
SORT itab ASCENDING BY f1.
LOOP AT itab WHERE f1 = '10'.
    itab-fn= value-n.
MODIFY itab
             TRANSPORTING fx fy fz ft
                    WHERE f1   = c1_filed AND
                                  f2   = c2_field.
ENDLOOP.
I need your suggestions in this kind of conversion or solution.
SORT itab ASCENDING BY f1 (<-- I don't know if in this case the better performances should be obtained using field symbols and in which way)
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_itab_line> TYPE LINE OF itab.
LOOP AT itab ASSIGNING <fs_itab_line> WHERE
<fs_itab_line>-f1 = '10'.
MODIFY itab
             TRANSPORTING fx fy fz ft
                    WHERE f1   = c1_filed AND
                                  f2   = c2_field.
(I don't know if in this case the better performances should be obtained using field symbols and in which way)
ENDLOOP.
I wish to implement the field symbols or the better performance in terms of execution time in all my abap code, where it is possible.
Any suggestion will be well appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your kind support.
Regards,
       Giovanni

Dear All,
I have appeciated your suggestions and I can conclude these points in my case:
1) The "sort" statement is not optimized in a different way using filed-symbols
2) The loop with "where" condition on a standard table is performed using filed-symbols
But ... my last point to investigate is about the statement MODIFY table TRANSPORTING f1, f2 WHERE conditions.
More exactly, in my code the execution logic of the abap code expects a global modification of the same table at the end of every (primary) loop, using the MODYFY statement.
In other words in my code I can locate two loops on the same table in the following logic:
LOOP AT table1 WHERE f1 = '10'. (#1)
      updates to table1
      set c1_filed, c2_filed
      LOOP AT table1.   (#2)
         IF f1 = c1_filed AND
            f2 = c2_filed.
           table1-fx = 'x'.
           table1-fy = 'y'.
           table1-fz = 'z'.
           table1-ft = 't'.
         ENDIF.
         MODIFY table1.
      ENDLOOP.   (#2)
ENDLOOP.   (#1)
In better way (maybe more fast in terms of execution time) to modify a set of lines (MODIFY...TRANSPORTING...WHERE):
LOOP AT table1 WHERE f1 = '10'.
   table1-fx= 'x'.
   table1-fy= 'y'.
   table1-fz= 'z'.
   table1-ft= 't'.
   MODIFY itab
      TRANSPORTING fx fy fz ft
   WHERE f1 = c1_filed AND
         f2 = c2_field.
ENDLOOP.
My aim is to use field-symbols everywhere possible for speeding up the execution of my code,by maintaining this logic.
My proposal should be the following but I need your kind opinion.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_#1_line> TYPE LINE OF table1.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_#2_line> TYPE LINE OF table1.
LOOP AT table1 WHERE f1 = '10' ASSIGNING <fs_#1_line>. (#1)
      updates to table1
      set c1_filed, c2_filed
      LOOP AT table1 ASSIGNING <fs_#2_line>. (#2)
         IF <fs_#2_line>-f1 = c1_filed AND
            <fs_#2_line>-f2 = c2_filed.
           <fs_#2_line>-fx = 'x'.
           <fs_#2_line>-fy = 'y'.
           <fs_#2_line>-fz = 'z'.
           <fs_#2_line>-ft = 't'.
         ENDIF.
      ENDLOOP.   (#2)
ENDLOOP.   (#1)
Your kind support is very important for me.
Thanks in advance.

How to use math symbols in Pages

How can I find math symbols in Pages?
Do I need additional Software or is there a possibility as in Microsoft Word?

You can find some math symbols in Pages if you go to Special Characters. Open Pages, go to Edit menu (on the menu bar) > Special Characters, and choose math symbols in the sidebar, so you will be able to add a symbol double-clicking the symbol.
However, it may not include all symbols. In this case, you will have to use other third-party applications

How to use font Symbol and Zapfdingbats. in Pages for iPad

Pages for ipad has font options of Symbol and Zapf Dingbats. I would like to use one of these fonts to place arrows in lines of text. Does anyone know how to do this? I am using IOS6 and ipad 3

Does Pages on the iPad have an Inspector panel? In the Mac version, it's a round blue button in the icon bar at the top of the window.
If you've got that in the iPad's Pages app, then you can use it to manually raise or lower the baseline of one or more characters, then use the font size to make them smaller. Superscripting after a numeral can be automatic (in the Mac version) by setting that in the Prefs.
You can probably tell I don't have my iPad yet.

How to use certain entries from a txt file as metadata?

So during my plugin development I stumbled on a problem.
I have created a txt file for each picture telling me who's in the photos. So the first column in the file shows all the names that appear in the photo.
I want to add those names into LR for each photo. I thought using them as metadata would be a good idea. Then I could let the user enter a name of some person and create a smart collection having all photos with that person in them.
But putting it into practice isn't that easy.
So I started with the classic metadata definition:
metadataFieldsForPhotos = {
id = 'Person',
title = 'Person'
dataType = 'string',
searchable = true,
browsable = true,
Now I don't know how to actually read only the column entries of the txt file and displaying all the names appearing in it. Another problem is that each photo has its own txt file in "nameofphoto.jpg.txt" So LR must know which txt file belongs to a photo.
I know my question isn't very specific but it would be great if someone could help...

Thank you for the reply. Reading the file how I wanted worked fine and I chose to use keywords, as you suggested.
So now I tried to add the keywords to the pictures and I get:
"LrCatalog:withWriteAccessDo: could not execute action 'keywordProvider'. It was blocked by another write access call, and no timeout parameters were provided."
There's my function so far:
function Finder.findPerson(smartCollectionName)
     local catalog = LrApplication.activeCatalog()
     local photos = catalog:getMultipleSelectedOrAllPhotos()
       LrTasks.startAsyncTask( function()
            for i=1,#photos do
                 local photo = photos[i]
                 local photopath = photo:getRawMetadata("path")
                 local photoname = photo:getFormattedMetadata("fileName")
                 local folderpath = string.sub(photopath, 1, string.len(photopath) - string.len(photoname))
                 local metadataPath = folderpath .. "\.metaface\\" .. photoname .. ".txt"
                 local text = LrFileUtils.readFile(metadataPath)
                 local metadataValues = stringSplit(text)
                 for i = 0, #metadataValues do
                      catalog:withWriteAccessDo( "keywordProvider", function()
                           local keywords = catalog:createKeyword(metadataValues[i])
                           photos:addKeyword(keywords)
                      end)
                 end
           end
      end)
end
So what am I doing wrong?

How to use math symbols in a right to left text properly?

Hey there
When I write a simple mathematical equation or a number(which has sign) in the middle of a right to left text in a text box(I simply set keyboard language to EN for typing expressions & numbers) it's like mathematical symbols are somehow not considered math symbols and that's weird since in word it's not that way, take the following sentence for example that means result of the 0-127 expression is -127:
حاصل عبارت 127-0 برابر 127- است.
In word I can type it just fine(for typing expressions and numbers I set keyboard language to EN) but when I type it the same way in adobe acrobat I get this:
حاصل عبارت 0-127 برابر -127 است.
copy & paste from word also doesn't do any help, so If I want to get it right I should type math expressions from right to left meaning as instance to type 0-127 I should first type 127 then - and finally 0 also should type digits of a number before typing its sign as example for typing -127 I should first type 127 then - ,now I wonder is it the way acrobat works or I'm doing something wrong.
By the way OMG o_O even when I did copy & paste my messasge from word to the text box of forum for posting, it ended up treating math parts in upper right to left paragraph the same way as acrobat I just had to write them from right to left!
Anyone has any idea?
Message was edited by: Pooria

In a word document I wrote:
حاصل عبارت 127-0 برابر 127- اسـت
Then tried printing it using "Adobe PDF" printer, in output pdf that sentence was written in right order and interestingly it was broken into three text boxes thanks for reply.

How to use text symbols in webdynpro

Hello
I want to assign some text to a variable in webdynpro, that is not a screen field(just a normal variable).
Instead of hardcoding the text I just want to use a text symbol. Should I go for assistance class or OTR?
I tried using OTR.but it is not taking the value what I have stored.
check the below..
append 'Hello' to v_text.
instead of the above i wrote it like,
append text-001 to v_text, where text-001 is stored in OTR.
but after executing, v_text contains no value, instead it should take 'hello'.

Hi,
make a node and procced as shown below....................
This is with OTR text
constants :   lc_directory type string value 'ZHRWEBDEV/IDS',
data: otr_text type string,
         otr_text1 type string.
READ THE NODE CN_IDS TO SET THE ATTRIBUTE VALUES
