How to validate: only characters

Hi
I need to validate a textfield that can only contain
characters (doesn't mather what case and how many). How do I do
that?
Thanks

Hi walkerm,
Spry doesn't have provide an "alphabeticCharacters"
validation, but you could use in this case a custom validation
function that you will write yourself.
function myValidation(){
//do your validation here
var textfield1 = new
Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("textfield1", "custom",
{validation: myValidation});
Please check the 8th sample on
this
page on Adobe Labs.

  • How to validate that only one check box is checked in detail block

    Hi All,
    I am using oracle Forms 10G on windows.
    I need help on how to validate that only one check box is checked in detail block. I have multiple records in the detail block and I have check boxes for each record in the detail block.
    I have a button to select the values from the detail records where the check box is checked. But I want to make sure that only one record is check not more than one.
    How do I validate this on a push button trigger?
    Thanks

    When I've done this kind of thing, I create a Form level variable of TYPE number and then add or subtract to this variable as I check and uncheck the checkboxes. If the value of the variable is 1, then you know that only one checkbox is selected. If the value is greater than 1, then you know the user has selected more than one check box. You could also add code to your When-Checkbox-Changed trigger to test the variable and instruct the user to un-check selected record before selecing a new record.
    With respect to the Form level variable, you can use a GLOBAL, PARAMETER or Program Unit package specification. I prefer to use the PU Package Spec as this method has a smaller memory footprint. For example, in the Program Unit node of the object navigator create the following;
    /* Form variables package spec */
    PACKAGE Form_Vars IS
      CheckBox_Cnt     NUMBER := 0;
    END;Now in your When-Checkbox-Changed trigger...
    BEGIN
       IF ( Form_Vars.CheckBox_Cnt = 0 ) THEN
          Form_Vars.CheckBox_Cnt  := Form_Vars.CheckBox_Cnt  + 1;
       ELSE
          /* it's assumed the value is greater than 0 */
          Message('Please uncheck selec ted record before choosing a new record.');
          RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
       END IF;
    END;Hope this helps,
    Craig B-)

  • How to show Greek characters in Italic style

    How to show Greek characters in Italic style
    Hi all, I'm tryng to resolve a problem with the Greek characters
    I need to display labels in two languages, english or greek inside my report.
    At the beginning of the report I have a placeholder with the xml code : *<?param@begin:p_language?>*, so I can understand inside my report if the user chose the Greek or English, and then I have many placeholders (labels) which have to be written in Greek or English.
    If the language chosen is English, I don't have any problem to show my labels bold or italic in every fonts
    Inside the placeholder I wrote the following code:
    *<?xdofx:if $p_language = 'Ελληνικά' then 'Οργανισμός' else if $p_language = 'Αγγλικά' then 'Organization' end if?>*
    I can chose font, style and bold/not bold directly from Word and when I run the report in pdf I see exactly what I chose.
    If the language chosen is Greek....I see always the label in Arial, NOT BOLD and NOT ITALIC...
    In order to see Greek characters BOLD:
    a) I added (under the ADMIN tab/Runtime Configuration/Font Mappings/ ) a font named Arial and I addeda target Font named Arialbd.ttf under the directory: D:\Oracle\Oracle_Homes\BIP_101341\jdk\jre\lib\fonts
    b) I changed the font (from word) to Arial
    Now, ONLY with tha ARIAL font I can see my labels in greek bold, but I can't still see them in italic style.....
    So, I tried to force these condition inside the placeholder with the following code:
    *<?if:$p_language = 'Ελληνικά'?><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="inlines" name="font">Times New Roman</xsl:attribute><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="inlines" name="font-style">Italic</xsl:attribute><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="inlines" name="color">red</xsl:attribute><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="inlines" name="font-weight">bold</xsl:attribute>Οργανισμός<?end if?>*
    ...but I continue to see the labels in Greek only bold, red but not in Italic Style......
    Also adding another font called Arialbi.ttf (Arial bold Italic)...I can't see my labels in Greek bold with Italic Style....
    Anybody had the same problem with another alphabet different from the latin one ???
    Any help will be appreciated
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Sandra,
    First of all thaks for your quick answer to my problem.
    I see what you mean and get the same result, if I am using data-type string instead of xstring. But the recommendation in the XML-Books of SAP is to use XSTRING to save memory and circumflex problems between Codepages, when writing the XML-Stream to a filesystem.
    As you can see in the code abvoe I am using a SAP-FM to display the XML-Stream and this FM works only with XSTRING´s,
    that is one reason why I don´t understand that it displays it in the wrong way.
    Even the Debugger shows me for the XSTRING the wrong result. Does all that mean that the escaping will not be applyed if you are working with XSTING´s??

  • How to write special characters in PDF using iText

    How to write special characters encoded with UTF-8 in PDF using iText.
    Regards,
    Pandharinath.

    I don't know what your problem is but that's almost certainly the wrong question to ask about it. Java (including iText) uses only Unicode characters. (You may consider some of them to be "special" if you like but Unicode doesn't.) And when it does that, they aren't encoded in UTF-8 or any other encoding.
    So can you describe your problem? That question doesn't make sense.

  • How to validate a date in message mapping

    Hi experts,
                    how to validate a date in message mapping. For ex:  if date comes as 2008/02/31, then file it shold not get processed.how to achieve this in message mapping. Please help .
    Thanks&Regards,
    Reyaz Hussain

    Hi,
    There are few simple ways for date validation as follow,
    1.If you would like to handle it in XI only, then in message mapping you could verify about it with the help of generating smart exception.
    For e.g in mapping there is one Date conversion API i.e. somthing DateTransformation It converts the incoming date format to required format. Here give the date format i.e expected from Sender File.
    If in case the format miss-matched then it will create the exception.
    You could handle this exception with the use of [Alert notification|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/abb2e7ff6311d194c000a0c93033f7/frameset.htm] and could be even able to notify to sender system about it.
    2. The another solution is easy for SAP synchornous communication --If you are passing the file data to SAP, then you could use below function modules to verify date format in receiver RFC/BAPI or inbound IDOC program. If the sy-subrc is not 0 then don't process further.
    CONVERT_DATE_FORMAT
    ISU_DATE_FORMAT_CHECK

  • How to validate Quantity field in TV - Inputfield ?

    Hello All,
            I'm using a table view to show the output .
    IN this table view I made 2 fields as Input fields.
    Both the fields are Quantity fields.
    Now when the user enters a value in this Quantity field I want to validate it with respect to it's units .
    How can I do that ?
    In my case if the user enters correct value it works but when he enters a wrong value my BSP is going for a dump.
    I tried to debug the<b> LIPS table</b> to verify how SAP was handling this checking for the field <b>LFIMG</b>. But there there is a statement called chain --endchain.
    SO there is no chance for debugging.
    My code is as follows :-
            LOOP AT gt_final INTO wa_final.
              CLEAR: gv_row,lv_qty,lv_string,gv_len,gv_cell_id1.
              gv_row = sy-tabix.
              gv_len = STRLEN( gv_row ).
              gv_len = gv_len - 1.
    * Modify the Third Column
              CONCATENATE 'INB01_TV_ID' '_' gv_row(gv_len) '_' '3' INTO gv_cell_id1 .
              lv_string = request->get_form_field( name = gv_cell_id1 ).
              WRITE lv_string TO lv_qty  UNIT wa_final-units.
              CLEAR :wa_final-del_quantity.
              wa_final-del_quantity = lv_qty.
              MODIFY gt_final FROM wa_final TRANSPORTING del_quantity.
            ENDLOOP.
    Can anyone tell me how to validate the entry for the Quantity filed ?
    Regards,
    Deepu.K
    I have one more Question .
    Whenever BSP goes for a dump in this case I want to handle this by a message .
    Is it possible ?
    Message was edited by:
            deepu k

    Hello Raja,
           I want to validate the entry in the QUantity field with respect to the Unit of the Quantity.
    I.e say for example I have a unit as PC (pieces) then the quantity must be only of thousands,lakks and so..on......but not in points i.e a piece quantity must be full either 200 ,2 lakhs or 2 pieces but not 2.5 pieces.
    SO now if the user enters 2.5 it's a wrong value as the quantity for the Unit PIECES can't have half-piece. (2.5 = 2 + 0.5) .SO i want to validate this .
    I hope I'm clear.
    How should I do ?

    regards
    krishna

    Hello Krishna,
    What do you mean by validating a field? Usually you use a search help to display possible values for a certain input field based on values in another table. You can restrict the values that are displayed by certain conditions if you need to.
    If you want to allow only values based on complex conditions or authorizations of the user, you can always create a search help exit and in there you have complete control over what the user is allowed to see in the search help and what he is allowed to select.
    Function Module F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE gives you an idea what you can do in a search help exit.
