How to validate user input

Hi,
I am new to Form design
I am designing an offline form I just want to validate the user input
whether user has entered Character or Numric.
if user enters characters in phone no I have to give an error message.
can you please give the pice of the script to validate the user input.
Regards
Bikas

Instead of finding what is the type of input, you can restrict the user not to type characters in Phone No field.
Place the below code in Change event of the Phone No field with Java Script as language.
// restrict entry to digits
if (xfa.event.change.match(/[0-9]/) == null)
xfa.event.change = "";
Note: You have placed the question in the wrong forum.. You might need the Designer ES forum.
Thanks

How to validate user input field?

I need to validate a user input field against a table. This field is not part of an EO but is used to update an attribute on an existing EO.
My question is, where would I place the sql that would validate the user input value against the table?
Is there an easy way to do this?
I'm at a roadblock and really need some help. Thank you.

You can execute a sql query or a function from <your>AMImpl.java, using normal jdbc.
but I would recommend this, it is easier and cleaner approach
1. Create a VO (<your>VO) with the sql statement
Select client
from client_table
where resp_id = :1
and client= :2
2. Add this vo to the am
3. In AMImpl, get handle to the VO (this.get<your>VO1)
4. Bind params
this.get<your>VO1().setWhereClauseParams(0,current_resp );
this.get<your>VO1().setWhereClauseParams(1,user_input_value);
5. Execute the query
this.get<your>VO1().executeQuery();
6. Get the row after the query is executed
oracle.jbo.Row <your>Row = this.get<your>VO1().first();
7. Get the value of the attribute from the row
l_client = <your>Row.getAttribute("Client") ;
8. So now you have what you wanted to do with the sql.

Captivate 6 How to validate user input without using keyboard shortcuts

I've been using Adobe Captivate 6 for about 4 months now. Completely new to the program. The number one function of Captivate for me will to create many software simulations for verifiable training. This means that I will be utilizing the training and assessment modes A LOT. I have run into many hurdles throughout the process, but one of my biggies right now is this:
In the training and assessment modes, I have times where the user must input data such as an address or number. In the actual software they will be utilizing it is not always required to use TAB or ENTER in order to move to the next field. In some instances, it will be necessary to actually click into a field after entering data. My problem is that it seems as if Captivate will not allow this, as a keyboard shortcut is automatically entered even if a TAB or ENTER is not required after input. I assume this is so that the inputted information can be verified. If you decide you do not want to use a keyboard shortcut to validate the inputted information, you must have a submit button. Is there any way to change this?? All I want is for the user to enter information and then click into another field WITHOUT having to press ENTER, TAB, or hit a submit button. Is this even possible if you need user input to be validated?? Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated!!

Hello,
A while ago I explained the work flow I’m using often in that case, only for the last field you need to have either a shortcut or a submit button AND the sequence has to be imposed. The idea is that you make the Submit button for the first field transparent, delete the ‘Submit’ text and put it over the second field. So if the user clicks on the second field, he also submits the value of the first field.
Here is the blog post I’m referring to:
http://lilybiri.posterous.com/one-submit-button-for-multiple-text-entry-box
Although it was written for previous versions, the idea will still be functional.

How to get user input to keep in array in the form of int[]?

I really want to know how to get user input to keep in an array. Or if it's impossible, can i use the value in "int" and transfer it to an array?

What I understand is that you want to set an input from the user in an array of int.
Here is how it work:
1. Create a stream and a buffer to get and store the informations entered by the user:
BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
2. Set this input in a String:
String input = stdin.readLine();
3. Set this string in an int:
int userInput = Integer.parseInt(input);
4. Then you can put this int in the array.
Warning this code throws IOExceptions and NumberFormatException ( when you try to set letters as int ). But you can catch them easily.

}Well when I create this overriden TextField ( DecimalField ) its working as it should with the first character. Its only accepting digits and . but after the first character its accepting everything. Its like the validation disappear?

Validate user input

How do I validate the data that the user inputs through the prompts? Example: End date is not earlier than start date, or End Date - Start Date <= 12 months?
Any direction is appreciated

Denzil,
One way to "validate" the data would be to populate a back-end table that has the combinations of data you want users to invoke as they run a report. Another way would be to set up an alerter in the report and when the undesired condition is met than a cell would show up stating the problem, but this solution appears after the report runs and is handled within the reporting tool. Not very easy answers, just some choices for you to think about.
Thanks,
John

How to capture user input for customer exit processing?

I need to calculate the number of working days elapsed in the current fiscal quarter BASED on the USER INPUT on the reporting front. i.e., say the fiscal quarter started on 1 July 2005 and if the user enters 10 July 2005, I should get the value 8 (Assume that Monday through Friday are all workdays). If the user enters 12 July 2005, I should get 10. I have written customer exits and know how to use factory calendar, but <b>THE CHALLENGE</b> is how do I <b>CAPTURE</b> the user input and use it in my exit? During the varible definition, if I select the check box "Ready for input" then the customer exit is not being processed and unless I check that box I can't get a user entry! If I look at the import values in the customer exit, I see i_t_var_range with type rrs0_t_var_range. My strong feeling is that this parameter gets the user input, but I am unable to use it as the customer exit is not being called if I make the user to input the data. Based on the empirical evidence, I felt that user input and customer exit can not co-exist!! Please somebody prove me wrong and let me know how can I use the user input to process my "customer-exit" variable. I would really appreciate any input from the BW community here.

Hi Sameer,
Most likely, I'm missing something, but I think that the answer is very simple.
CASE I_VNAM.
WHEN 'YOUR_CUSTOMER_EXIT_VAR'.
IF I_STEP = 2. After selecting of input variable
LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
WHERE VNAM = 'USER_INPUT_VAR'.
CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
L_S_RANGE-LOW = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW(4).
APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
In this typical user exit coding you have a user entered value in LOC_VAR_RANGE (originally in I_T_VAR_RANGE) and you construct your user exit variable value in E_T_RANGE.
Best regards,
Eugene

How to accept user inputs from sql script

I want to create Tablespace useing sql script , but the location of the data file I need accept from user . (to get the location of the data file ) .
How can I accept user input from pl/sql .
Example :
CREATE TABLESPACE TSPACE_INDIA LOGGING
     DATAFILE 'H:\ORACLE_DATA\FRSDB\TSPACE_INDI_D1_01.dbf'
     SIZE 500M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1280K MAXSIZE UNLIMITED
     EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL;here I need to accept location of the datafile from user ie : 'H:\ORACLE_DATA\FRSDB\TSPACE_INDI_D1_01.dbf'

Hi,
Whenenever you write dynamic SQL, put the SQL text into a variable. During development, display the variable instead of executing it. If it looks okay, then you can try executing it in addition to displaying it. When you're finished testing, then you can comment out or delete the display.
For example:
SET     SERVEROUTPUT     ON
DECLARE
    flocation     VARCHAR2 (300);
    sql_txt     VARCHAR2 (1000);
BEGIN
    SELECT '&Enter_The_Path'
    INTO    flocation
    FROM    dual;
    sql_txt := 'CREATE TABLESPACE SRC_TSPACE_INDIA LOGGING
     DATAFILE' || flocation || ' "\SRC_TSPACE_INDI_D1_01.dbf" ' || '
     SIZE 500M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1280K MAXSIZE UNLIMITED
     EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL ';
    dbms_output.put_line (sql_txt || ' = sql_txt');
-- EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sql_txt;
END;
/When you run it, you'll see something like this:
Enter value for enter_the_path: c:\d\fubar
old   5:     SELECT '&Enter_The_Path'
new   5:     SELECT 'c:\d\fubar'
CREATE TABLESPACE SRC_TSPACE_INDIA LOGGING
     DATAFILEc:\d\fubar
"\SRC_TSPACE_INDI_D1_01.dbf"
     SIZE 500M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1280K MAXSIZE
UNLIMITED
     EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL = sql_txt
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.This makes it easy to see that you're missing a space after the keyword DATAFILE. There are other errrors, too. For example, the path name has to be inside the quotes with the file name, without a line-feed between them, and the quotes should be single-quotes, not double-quotes.
Is there some reason why you're using PL/SQL? In SQL, you can just say:
CREATE TABLESPACE SRC_TSPACE_INDIA LOGGING
DATAFILE '&Enter_The_Path\SRC_TSPACE_INDI_D1_01.dbf'
SIZE 500M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1280K MAXSIZE UNLIMITED
EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL;though I would use an ACCEPT command to given a better prompt.
Given that you want to use PL/SQL, you could assign the value above to sql_txt. If you need a separate PL/SQL variable for flocation, then you can assign it without using dual, for example:
DECLARE
    flocation     VARCHAR2 (300)     := '&Enter_The_Path';The dual table isn't needed very much in PL/SQL.

How to validate users with Novell Directory Server

Hi all, with iAS 6.0 SP3, how i can validate users stored in Novell
Directory Sever?
Thanks

Hi
I believe iAS is designed to work with iDS which is bundled along
with the SP3 download. Also the directory server which is working with
iAS must be Nortel LDAP Schema compatible and I'm not sure if NDS(Novell
Directory Server) is compatible. What I'm trying to understand is if you
have already registered iAS with NDS and you are having trouble in
accessing the users or if you are having trouble in the installation.

How to validate the input field

Hi,

and other input field should always take numeric value only.
i.e how to validate this two input fields.

srinivas

Hi,
U can validate input fields using javascript.Write OnClientClick function for that submit button if ur using htmlb or onClick if u r using html.Refer the follows
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/03/900e41a346ef6fe10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
There are two ways to achieve ur task.
1.By checking for all alphabets.in this u need check all the alphabetic characters one by one.Refer the following
http://www.shiningstar.net/articles/articles/javascript/javascriptvalidations.asp?ID=ROLLA
http://www.shiningstar.net/articles/articles/javascript/checkNumeric.asp?ID=AW
2.By using regular expressions.its very easy and a single line code.here u need to specify single expression for whole alphabets.Refer this
http://aspzone.com/blogs/john/articles/173.aspx
Everything has been given for validating in javascript.i hope u also validating in javascript only.
For more details on "Regular expressions" search google.

What you should probably consider is using Slider components to control each of the parameters. There should be examples of how to use them in the help documentation.
