How To: Use Like '*' with DoQuery

As anyone who has tried to use a LIKE in their SELECT statement will know, if you are using the DoQuery method of the SAPbobsCOM.Recordset object, LIKE's are not supported. Here is a workaround that seems to work fairly well for our needs.
Code Sample:
findValueLength = findValue.Length.ToString();
sqlQuery = "SELECT CardName AS ReturnValue1 FROM OCRD WHERE LEFT(CardCode," + findValueLength + ") = '" + findValue + "' AND CardType <> 'S'";
rs = (SAPbobsCOM.Recordset) sapConnect.SboCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset);
rs.DoQuery(sqlQuery);
Basically, if you select anything who's left x characters are the same as the find value, it will return the same results as doing a LIKE findValue*.

How to use "like" with variables at right hand side ?.Urgent Pls..

How can I compare a column with a combination of columns.
columns are character
select ...from table1 t1,table2 t2 where
t1.col1 like t2.col1 || t2.col2
eg:
where p.upc = '0' ||r.upc_ccode||r.upc_mnum|| r.upc_mcode
this restricts LHS to start with 0 and values starting with non zero are not taken for comparison.I need to include those values also in comparison
p.upc can start with any char 0 -9.
p.upc ->char(12)
r.upc_commod_code||r.upc_mfg_num|| r.upc_mfg_it -> total char(11)
Any Help would be highly appreciated !
Thanks In Advance!

Screens, like them? hate them? also, how to use actionscript with them.

So I haven't used a flash version since Flash 8. I've now been given CS4 and inheritid a flash document that uses screens. After 2 weeks of figuring out how the presentation is made to 'go' from slide to slide on keydown, I finally discovered today that it is the default behaviour.
Ok, so this leads me to my next question. How do people here feel about screens? Like them? Hate them? I feel like I could do half of this stuff easier with actionscript. I feel constrained by this. Not to mention I put some animation into a movie clip and it seems like it's not playing, like it's just poping right to the stop action at the end of that clip.
Can anyone tell me how to use actionscript with screens? I looked at help, but of course, the help file doesn't give me what I really need to know. I'd like to put my actions on frame one of the root and let that control everything else. But what is the syntax like? The help file recommends external scripts, but that is not an option as the CEO takes this presentation with him and I can't risk having him lose the code.
Please give me any advice you may have. Thank you!
Stan

Not that I'm any kind of expert on this matter, but I've never heard of screens, at least not by that name, and I have been fiddling with Flash for about 9 years now (like this case, I still learn new things all the time... though I'm still clueless as to what they are... chances are I won't miss 'em).
When you mentioned scenes though, my personal recommendation is along the party lines of avoid them like the plague... use one timeline and/or movieclips for everything. I have never used them in my own work, and my bias is partly due to having inherited them in other people's work... they make it hard to find things, especially when you have to first discover they're being used to begin with. From a technical stance, I have found them to be problematic to manage as far as navigation goes.

How to use Terminal with KeySpan USB serial adaptor cable?

I own a KeySpan model USA-19HS to use with our MacBookPro when working on clients networking equipment that require serial communication. I have used ZTerm with excellent luck, but it costs, and is yet another application that I dont really want. I would like to know if any one out there has exacing instructions on how to use Terminal with this adaptor. If I could write a file that had, say, the couple most common settings (9600-8-n-1, 57600-8-n-1, et cetera) that I could simply click on, to open a new Terminal window with those settings, then simply close that, and open a new window (apple+n) in order to get back to a default settings terminal window. All feedback is most appreciated.
Thanks so much, Jason Sjobeck

Hi, Jason. Welcome to the Discussions.
You wrote: "All feedback is most appreciated."OK.
1. Have you considered discussing this with Keyspan Support?
2. Have you read the section "OSX has Terminal.app - why do I need ZTerm?" on the ZTerm Home Page? That seems to explain why one needs an app like ZTerm.
3. A quick search of Keyspan's FAQ for your product and terminal doesn't yield much more than how to find the serial ports using Terminal.
Likewise, this Google search also yields little, and variants of that search of such weren't particularly help either.
It appears your inquiry seems to be a somewhat esoteric topic.
4. Apparently, ZTerm X is a bit long in the tooth and there's no Universal Binary for it. It sounds, however, like you've tried it running on your MBP under Rosetta, yes?
5. In researching alternatives to ZTerm for you, I note the followng:• The comment from "Reverb" on this page suggests C-Kermit or Kermit as a free alternative.
• This tip on Mac OS X Hints cites Minicom as another option.6. You may want to try your question on the Unix Discussion.
Good luck!

How to use variables with

I need to get the number of lines in internal table, which would
be easy, using DESCRIBE TABLE itab LINES lines. But the problem
is, that I get the name of this internal table in the field of
another internal table, so I have to use the name of internal
table as variable, but I don't know how to use variables with
DESCRIBE TABLE (or if this is possible).

Hi,
REPORT ZPRUEBA782 .
define two tables with diferent structures.
data: begin of table1 occurs 0,
registro type i,
end of table1.
data: begin of table2 occurs 0,
registro type i,
repid like sy-repid,
end of table2.
data: rows type i.
start-of-selection.
fill them with data
do 1000 times.
table1-registro = sy-tabix.
append table1.
enddo.
do 1757 times.
table2-registro = sy-tabix.
table2-repid = sy-repid.
append table2.
enddo.
call a form that receives as input the table and returns the number
of rows as output.
perform howmanyrows tables table2 changing rows.
break-point. "evaluate the number of rows
perform howmanyrows tables table1 changing rows.
break-point. "evaluate the number of rows
end-of-selection.
form howmanyrows tables itable changing rows.
rows = 0.
loop at itable.
add 1 to rows.
endloop.
endform.
You can try it if you don't find a better solution.

How to use setSoTimeOut() with socket ??

HI All!
I eagerly need to know how to use setSoTimeOut() with socket (on server side).
Actually the scenario is that My Server accepts connection and waits for connected client to send data to it. I WANT TO KEEP, IF CLIENT DOENS'T SENDS ANY DATA TO SERVER WITHIN 5 min. THEN SERVER MUST CLOSE THE CONNECTION, BUT IF SERVER RECEIVES STILL A BYTE FROM THE CLIENT WITHIN 5 mins., THE SERVER MUST RESET CHECKING TIME OUT FOR NEXT 5 MINUTES.
How can i do that??
Any help with example will be appreciated!!
Thanx in advance

you'd have to do something like this:
(this is all assuming you want to read Strings from the socket. setSoTimeout works for any read() call to the InputStream associated with the Socket)
ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(myPort);
Socket s = ss.accept();
s.setSoTimeout(5*60*1000); // 5 mins * 60 secs * 1000ms
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(s.getInputStream()));
boolean running = true;
while(running)
try
String readIn = in.readLine();
// do whatever you want with the data read
catch(SocketTimeoutException)
running = false;
Now. That's what I think needs to be done. I don't have Java on the machine I'm currently on, so I can't test/verify it, but it goes something like that.
Good luck,

How to use I18N with a custom validator?

This is my custom validator:
    public void validate(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) throws ValidatorException
        Pattern pat=Pattern.compile(".+@.+\\.[a-z]+");
        Matcher m= pat.matcher(value.toString());
        if(!m.find())
            FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage("Not a valid e-mail address");
            throw new ValidatorException(message);
    }Instead of providing the text "Not a valid e-mai address", I'd like to get the text out of my ApplicationResources property file.
How can I do this?
I know how to use it with the provided validators, but not with own custom ones
Please help me out, thanks

I found a solution for this problem, I don't know it's best practice but here it is :
    public void validate(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) throws ValidatorException
        String errortext;
        Pattern pat=Pattern.compile(".+@.+\\.[a-z]+");
        Matcher m= pat.matcher(value.toString());
        if(!m.find())
            ResourceBundle bundle =
            ResourceBundle.getBundle("be.vdab.resources.ApplicationResources", context.getViewRoot().getLocale());
            errortext = bundle.getString("erroremail");
            FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage(errortext);
            throw new ValidatorException(message);
    }

How to use CVS with JDeveloper

Hi all!
I'm starting a new project and I would like to know how to use CVS with JDeveloper. This is my first project where I will have two more people working with me and I don't know what the better approach is. Should I use CVS that come with JDeveloper (option Internal to Oracle JDeveloper 10g) or should I configure an external repository? In both cases, I don't know what I have to do to have CVS working properly with JDeveloper. Actually I tried to create a new CVS connection in CVS navigator (using the access method Password Server), but when I test I receive the message: Could not open connection to CVS server: general socket failure, sure I must doing something wrong.
I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3.0.4
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for you help John!
I installed cvsnt and when I try to create a new CVS connection inside JDeveloper I receive the message: authorization failed: server adminf29786.dixamico.com.br rejected access to /Diversos/DownLoad/CVS/usr/local/cvsroot for user JMartins
I using pserver method and JMartins is my user in windows
There is something that I'm curious about, when I was installing CVSNT I didn't configure any user and password, is there any default user/password?
Thanks!

How to use jdeveloper with linux?

how to use jdeveloper with linux?
Hello, i've download jdeveloper, and i have java1.4 installed. But i can't run jdeveloper i have jdev.exe and jdev but when i put /usr/local/jdev/bin/jdev a have a message like file not found. I don't know what to do.
Help please!!!
Ori.

You need to go to the directory where you unzipped JDeveloper, for example:
cd opt/jdev/jdevj2eebase1013/jdev/bin
Once there, do this:
chmod +x jdev
chmod +x ojc
Now you can try this:
nohup ./jdev &
or simply
./jev
I usually create a soft link in ~/bin

How to using ical with two separate iphones

hello
trying to understand and learn how to use Ical with 2 different Iphones, using Icloud.

To sync iCal across computers, the calendar needs to be published to a server. This can be a local server that you can set up, or it can be something like google or microsoft exchange or apple's mobile me. The best bet may be to wait until fall and see what iCloud offers!
Sharing your screen can be accomplished a few different ways. You can have two iChat accounts set up, and have one logged in on each computer, and then use iChat's screen share feature. The other way is to go to System Preferences, Sharing, and then check the box next to Screen Sharing. You may have to adjust some of the settings in there, but give that a shot.
