How to use Text Variables to make Running Footers

I'm confused about how Text Variables are behaving in the creation of Running footers on a pair of master page.
My document has 3-6 Steps on each page. Each Step is designated with a unique character style called StepName.
I want a running footer that has the first instance of StepName on the left page and the last instance of StepName on the right page. Like a dictionary.
I can get the correct text to appear, but then it adds an unwanted ParagraphStyle (a substep letter) that gives me this:
A) Open the File
when what I want is just this:
Open the File
The Character Style StepName is not based on any other style.
I have seen this done but can't understand why I'm picking up a lettering scheme on the footer.

Sounds like you have a numbered list applied to the paragraph style of your footer.  It's either part of the paragraph style of the footer or it's local formatting. Either way, you can turn it off by selecting the paragraph and clicking on the numbered list button on the paragraph panel or the main control panel. Or you can edit the style and under bulleted and numbered lists change the list to none.

  • Time Format using text variable with replacement path

    Hi Friends,
                                 I've used "Text variable with replacement path" to make the column heading dynamic by replacing the values referring from "0calday"...
    everything is working fine, but here it is displaying the time format like
    YYYYMMDD (20030101), i want it to be displayed DDMMYYYY (01012003) in the column heading... how to make it possible?
    pls waiting for ur inputs, it's an urgent...
    Regards,
    Pattnaik

    Hi Satyakam,
    In the text variable properties make sure that in the replacment path you have chosen "Text" to appear date as per user setting . Other wise as in your case it must be set to "Key" which always shows in the format YYYYMMDD.
    Hope that helps.

  • Using Text Variable in BEx Formula

    Hi Everyone,
    I have two columns in BEx query. First column shows the value based on variable ZFISCPER_M(based on fiscal year/period).
    The other column shows the value for period ZFISCPER_M minus 1 (I have used offset in variable).
    So if my user inputs 009.2009, the first column will show values for 009.2009 and 2nd column will show values for 008.2009.
    In the third column I have formula : 2nd column minus 1st column. I want to use text variable to display column heading. The heading in the 3rd column should be 009.2009.
    Can anyone guide me how to achieve this?
    Regards
    Utpal

    Hi Rakesh,
    My first column shows cumulative balance upto 009.2009; My second column shows the cumulative balance upto 008.2009; In the third column I am trying to display balance for the month - not the cumulative figure. So for the third column my heading should be For the month 009.2009
    But when I substract col 2 - col 1in third column; the text variable finds two different values(009.2009 & 008.2009). Hence it is not displaying any text.
    I hope this makes my question clear.

  • How to use the variables used in the message mapping

    Hi ,
    In the message mapping we can declare variables in the JAVA section , these variables could be used across the mapping .
    I have tried using it but I am unable to retrieve the values assigned to the variables in one UDF into the another UDF .
    Please guide me how to use the variables declared in the JAVA section in the message mapping .
    Thanks
    Anita Yadav

    Anita,
    I have worked on the Global variables and i found no issues. Make sure that the variable is declared in the Declaration Section and then initlaized in the Initialization section.
    If you declare a variable in the Declaration Section ,
    int i;
    then in any udf you can use if directly. No need to re declare  the variable in the UDF. If you do this, then it becomes a local variable.

  • How to use shared variables?

    Hello..
            Can anybody please guide me in using shared variables... I'm learning LabVIEW 8.5.... But did not understand how to use shared variables... I tried to read web pages regarding shared variables but got confused.... So anyone can please help me...?
             Thanks for any help from you...

    You will have to give us the whole picture. What is your client computer; a PAC, desktop etc? What are you running on the client computer; a VI or an executable? Where are you going to deploy your library? On the host machine or the client machine?
    If I assume that you are running a VI on the client machine and are depolying the library on the host, all you have to do is to create another shared variable and bind it to the variable on the host machine. You can do this by checking the Bind to Source option when creating the variable and browsing to the network item in options. Be sure to have the library deployed on the host side before you attempt to do this otherwise you won't be able to find the variable.

  • Show the period value in column header using Text Variable

    We are using Posting Period & Financial Year to calculate YTD & MTD, for current year and previous years. These posting period and financial year characteristics are custom created characteristics we are using due to customer specific requirement.
    Input values are posting period, financial year and numeric value. To calculate previous year, I need to subtract numeric value from the input financial year. Every thing is working fine up to this.
    In the report I need to show the posting period and financial year values dynamically in each column header of the report for MTD, YTD for current year & previous year. I tried to achieve this using Text Variables, but I didn’t succeed. If some one can give me some idea to resolve this, it would be very helpful.
    I am excellent in ABAP coding. If you can specify me to code in User Exit, I can do it.
    Column headers should be 08.1999 Sales Qty, 08.2008 Sales Qty, 1999 Sales Qty, 2008 Sales Qty.

    Hi Abhinav,
    Try using the content text variables 0T_FYEAR and 0T_FPER3, when used in the head these variable should display the year and period specified in the RKF.
    e.g
    &0T_FPER3&. &0T_FYEAR& Sales Qty = 08.1999 Sales Qty
    If that doesnt work, try creating text replacement path variables referencing the variables you created for the year and period input. To do this click on the RKF and click on the dropdown by the yellow box next to the description on the general tab and select New Variable, enter the description, tech name and set processng by to Replacment Path, then select period as the ref. characteristic, then on the replacement path tab change replace variable with to variable and then select the variable you are using for the period input, save then hit ok, this is now a text representation of the variable your are inputing for period and can be used in the column headers, you will need to repeat the process for the fiscal year.
    Hope this helps

    You cannot avoid hard parsing - as the 1st time a SQL statement (like the SELECT or DELETE statements in your code) is encountered, it does not reside in the server's Shared Pool, and needs to be added into the pool via a hard parse.
    Bind variables does not prevent hard parsing. Hard parsing happens when the SQL statement (with or without bind variables) is a brand new statement encountered by the server.
    Bind variables enables the same SQL cursor to be reused, by simply changing the bind variable value.
    Not using bind variables means that each SQL statement is unique and not shareable - as the value is hardcoded into the statement and cannot be changed via a bind value. This typically means LOTS of different SQL statements (where the only difference is the changed value in the statement) are created - with each statement being a new statement not seen before in the Shared Pool and needing to be hard parsed.
    One does not design one's code not to be hard parsed. There ALWAYS will be a hard parse in order to get a SQL statement into the Shared Pool. One designs one's code to REUSE cursors in the Shared Pool.
