ID CS3 - problem entering values in fields

Trying to type values in fields, i.e. point size, leading, indents, space before or after, and the program doesn't accept the numbers. It deletes my highlight text and inserts the value I'm trying to enter. Tried trashing preferences and it worked for a couple of boxes. It doesn't seem to be a consistent problem – every now and then it will work as it's supposed to. Any suggestions?

How did you trash prefs? many folks fail to remove the whole set. See: Replace Your Preferences

MDM JAVA API to enter value into field of type date

Hi All,
I am having an input field in a typical Dynpro application where a date would be entered.I want to enter the date in my MDM table in a field of type "Date".Do you have any idea about MDM JAVA API's I need to do this.Also how can I do this ?
Thanks
Vinay

Hi,
Web Dynpro shall return you a type Date field. For Value, you shall have to pass SystemTime Object.
Just get the substring of Date.toString() and convert them to Integer ..
So a typical date would look like yyyy-mm-dd (eg: 2006-10-19) and not yyyymmdd.
SystemTime st = new SystemTime();
st.setYear( Integer.parseInt(Date.toString().substring(0,4));
st.setMonth ( Integer.parseInt(Date.toString().substring(5,7));
st.setDate ( Integer.parseInt(Date.toString().substring(8,10));
A2iField date = new A2iField("fieldname", new Value(st));
Hope that helps..
Regards,
Tanveer.

Problem entering values in table after creating it in Word using OLE2

Hi,
I want to create a Word document from a Oracle Forms 6i application. The document will have standard text followed by a table. The cells of this table are to be populated from fields in the Forms application.
I have created a sample code below. When executed from within the Forms application, it creates a document fine. It writes the text "Hello World". It then creates a table as expected. But when I try to enter a value "Cell Value" in the table, the value does not get written to the cell of the table. Instead it writes the value outside the table.
Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here and what I need to do so that after writing the text on the document I can write values into the table also.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Here is the code(it works but then it doesn't ):

Once again thanks for the help John. Unfortunately I cannot use only bookmarks, because the text to be entered from the application is of undetermined length and therefore since the possibility of wrapping exists, it would not be able to give me the same formatting abilty as using a table.
However, the good news is that I have been able to find the solution. I am posting my code here so that it is available to anyone else who might have the same issue. Thanks again.
Here is my code and my comments in it explain what it does.
PROCEDURE extract_to_word
IS
/* First of all I would like to acknowledge the help I have got from experts who have posted a lot of this code on the web which I have used here. Special thanks go to someone by the name of sfvb
found here http://www.tek-tips.com/userinfo.cfm?member=sfvbsfvb
This procedure does the following:
1. Opens a word document.
2. Creates a header and pastes a picture in the header e.g your company logo with address. Please note that the image should have both the address and the logo in it. It can be created using paint where you can write your address at one end and paste a bmp or jpg picture of your logo at the other end.
3. Writes text with specified font and size. It calls a separate procedure PRINT_LINE to do this.
4. Creates a table on the document with specified number of columns with fixed width.
5. Populates the cells of the table-
first with headers written by calls to WRITE_HEADINGS procedure.
next with data from a block of the Forms application by calls to WRITE_DATA procedure
6. Comes out of the table and continues to write text.
The three procedures that are repeatedly called are described after the end of this procedure.
Note: While I have made every attempt to ensure that the code does not generate error on account of my writing the explanatory notes, I cannot be sure of having made some typos. If the code does not compile, it is most probably be on account of something I have missed in entering the comments and explanation.

How to "enter" a text field on a website that doesn't have an enter button?

Hi All,
I wanted to know I can press "enter" in a text field on a website that doesn't have an enter button.
I have used the following to help me code (i.e. login, enter values into fields).

The above link helps but there isn't a submit on the website I am trying to access or in the code.
What has worked for me, but isn't the best solution, is to simulate a mouse click on the desired field, after text entry, then simulate the keyboard "pressing enter". The problem with this is the mouse click depends on the position of the labview front panel. The code runs in the background and is also a subvi.
thanks in advance,

Just a question/idea - but can you not just POST the data to the web server directly? Take a look at the HTML of the page and see if you can find the <form action="<THE URL TO POST TO>"> and then find all of the names of the form fields and send them along with the values via the HTTP Client POST VI.
It sounded to me like you are trying to push data into a web server so it shouldn't be necessary to render the page and fill out the fields on the rendered page if you can bypass all that and just submit the data and get the response.
If the form data is sent asynchronously (using AJAX), then you might need to delve a little into the site's javascript to find the POST URL and field names.

Parameter Field issue : Parameter not showing in enter values.

i got three paramater setup...
All three parameters are used in record selection formula.
When i click on refresh, only two parameters are showing up in enter values screen...why thired parameter is missing?
two parameters are date and third one is string. String parameter is not showing in enter values. How to fix this?.

Hi,
I haven't run into this problem so I'm not sure if it's a bug or not. When you added the parameter to the report, did you type the parameter into the formula yourself or did your double-click on it from the Field Explorer?
It should be fine adding it from the Field Explorer. Strange but not really sure why it's not working for you though.
Good luck,
Brian

Unable to enter value in editable field of ALV (set_current_cell_via_id)

In the Editable screen of ALV, I have to set the cursor on the 3rd field 'VBELN' ( which is editable ).
Using the method set_current_cell_via_id of ALV grid the focus has been set on the particular field. The field Sales order 'VBELN' is already set as editable (EDIT = 'X').
But still I am unable to enter values unless and until I click anywhere on the screen.
Please help me with the solution.
Thanks in Advance.

No...Whenever my screen is called, the focus is set on the 'VBELN' field but I can not enter the value.
See the code below:
Display the ALV report.
      CALL METHOD grf_alv_popup->set_table_for_first_display
        EXPORTING
          is_layout                     = gs_layout
          it_toolbar_excluding          = gt_exclude
        CHANGING
          it_outtab                     = fp_output[]
          it_fieldcatalog               = gt_fieldcat_popup
        EXCEPTIONS
          invalid_parameter_combination = 1
          program_error                 = 2
          too_many_lines                = 3
          OTHERS                        = 4.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
           WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
      ENDIF.
ls_row-row_id = 1.
ls_col-fieldname = 'VBELN'.
      CALL METHOD grf_alv_popup->set_current_cell_via_id
        EXPORTING
          is_column_id = ls_col
          is_row_no    = ls_row.
With the method set_current_cell_via_id, the field VBELN displays as highlighted but to enter the value I need to click on the screen first.

How to populate value in other field after entering in one field?

hi everyone.
when i enter value in one field , automatically some xyz value should be populated in second field. How would this be possible without any enter? I mean i don want to perform any action like press enter or like that.

Hello manumb6 ,
You coud also use "TimedTrigger" UI element for the same and you can specify the "delay" value in seconds.
Suppose if you enter x value.
After X seconds it will trigger the particular action associated to UI element.
My suggestion would be that you generate this UI element Dynamically when you expect end user to enter the value in the input field and system would keep invoking the method and as soon as your objective is met, Delete the UI element .
Hope this would help.

Hi Divya,
I checked with the screen and report which is mentioned by you. But I want to modify/make changes that should appear in the screen when you view details for a particualar employee in Qualifications(IT0024).
Please refer the screen 2000 of module pool MP002400 in SE80. In that screen I want to make change as listbox with key.
Can it be achieved in the same way as mentioned by you before by making standard SAP report as Z and then modify using layout editor?
Please help me out. I think I am almost there.

Validate a field on selection screen based on value entered on anothr field

HI,
There is a program with some fields in selection screen in EWM. The first field is Warehouse. I need to add another field 'Entity to Dispose' in such that what ever value I enter in Warehouse field, its corresponding values should only be displayed as F4 help for 'Entity to Dispose' field.
For eg: If I select the warehouse as 0799(lets say), then the F4 help for Entity to Dispose field should display only the values which are related to warehouse 0799 (and any other values pertaining to other warehouse should not appear).
Could anyone suggest, how this can be achieved?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Pavan

Hi,
You can use FM
DYNP_VALUES_READ
DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE
to read the another field value and Using that field build your internal table for f4 values.
and use FM F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST for F4 values..
do this on AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE REQUEST FOR <YOUR_F4_FIELDNAME>.

How to display texts automatic. besides entered value for a field in Trans.

How to display texts automatically besides the entered value for a field in a standard transaction screen. For example you have a value table and a text table associated to it. Then on entering the value field and pressing enter the text associated should get displayed immediately besides the value. Like if you have 'LOC' as the value and 'Location' as the text associated to it, on entering this value 'LOC', you automatically get the text 'Location' printed besides it automatically in a transaction screen ?

Hi sarika,
Welcome to SDN.
1. first of all, such display of text,
   is not automatic.
   (it appears to be automatic)
2. At design time,
   a) take one extra field for text
     and mark it as OUTPUT ONLY
3. Then in PBO coding,
    call some module, and in that module
    write code
4. The code should be to
   select from TEXT Table
   into the work area.
EG. THE SCREEN TEXT FIELD NAME IS
T510A-FIELDNAME.
CLEAR t510a.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM t510a INTO t510a
WHERE trfar = FIELVALUE.
5. This will take care of
   displaying the text value of that field.

amit m.

How to enter values for newly inserted field for maintenace view table

Hi ,
I have inserted new field for custom table which consits of maintance view..
I want to put some values in to this newly inserted field..
When i try to insert values bu useing se16,iam unable to view this newely inserted field..
Can you please let me know how can i insert values to this newely created field
Thanx,
Parnith

Hi Parnith,
It is easy to use a table maintainance to enter values to a database table....
if you have a table maintainace generator and you are not able to see the newly added field here is the reason
Everytime you add a new field , the table maintainance needs to be regenerated..The reason is that the screen you are using in the table maintainance is created within a program with respect to the fucntion group and not directly linked to the table..whenever you change the table,the function group is not affected and changes are not reflected in the table maintainance , so you have to regenerate by utilities-> table maintainance generator in sell for that table..once you do it , the function group assigned to the table automatically creates a new one with the latest fields added

Error the entered value does not match the specified field type

Hi,
When I try to insert a null value to a field of the User Defined Table I am getting the error "The entered value does not match the specified field type" in SAP Business One version 2007 PL 42.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sudha.

Hi Sudha,
It probably have to do with how you defined the field.
Is Null value allowed?
What are the field definitions?
Thanks,
Jesper

OAF PO Page Entry - User enter value in particular field - Then want to check it should be unique othewise Message must be displayed so that user will select the non unique value in the entry filed. Please let me know will it be possible using personalization? Or I have to customize the controller extend it?
