Include User Defined Language Items

I am currently developing an app that needs to let users
define their own editable text for some items.
I didnt want to include all of these options in the database
to avoid having a large database and lots of cfquery's so I though
having them in a file of some sort would be best, and just
including the file as needed.
So, having thought that I put a bunch of cfset's in the
language file and set all these variables, but then I realised that
someone could put a cfdump in there and have the app spit out
information that they shouldnt see.
So how can you let users define language items in a file and
load them as usable variables, but not allow them to put other CF
tags in that page?

Is it possible to use regex somehow to loop over a file that
contains lines like <varname = 'what you want'> and have
everything between the '' stored in an two dimensional array with
the variable name as the name?
Are there any suggestions about the best way to handle
this?

Creating user defined pay items in a complex PO which will be created from an Approved requisition

Hi,
We want to create user defined pay items in a complex PO which will be created from an Approved Requisition.
User will select the approved Req. through WebADI and update the pay Items which will be uploaded and a complex PO will be created with user defined Pay Items.
Approach 1:
The API po_interface_s.create_documents is running good but there is one issue with this API as below.
When we add user defined pay items to the po_lines_locations interface table against a line they are also getting added to the complex PO correctly.
But the issue is coming when the API is creating default shipment lines and distribution which we dont want.
Is there any way to stop creating the default pay items and distributions?
We only want the shipments we have entered in the po_lines_locations interface.
We can delete the lines from the PO_line_locations and po_distributions base tables for the default lines but that will be the last option to do delete on base tables.
Approach 2:
We can also do the same with the open PO import interface but it is not linking the complex PO to the approved requisition from which it is created.
Oracle mentioned that this is a future enhancement and this functionality is not available in standard PO import prog.
We are trying for Approach 1 so any suggestions/solutions are appreciated to achieve the requirement.

UDT cannot be created in sbo-common. You may create new db and work with table in this db (but it will be not UDT, but standard sql table), or create new company db only for this purposes and create UDT there.

Which text editor can use User Defined Languages?

On Windows, Notepad++ is able to use User Defined Languages. On a mac, I know of no text editors that can use them. Not only that, my mac stubbornly refuses to acknoledge the existence of .ecl, .dnh, and other scripting languages. I bundled Notepad++ and used AppleScript to make an executable, but it is not funny when you have to manually open Notepad++, then search for your file, then open it, then do things with it rather then clicking the file for it to open.
I would like to know if there are ANY text editors that can run User Defined Languages on a mac. Please do not tell me to use Winebottler to package Notepad; I already have Notepad++

Or, put your text file on DropBox, using the iPad app and email a link to others, or put it on MobileMe (iDisk app) or sharevvia iWork (online sharing for Pages documents).
Besides the word processing apps like Pages, there are a ton of notes and notebook apps which have various file sharing capabilities. Plain Text is a free plain text editor which links to a DropBox folder, e.g. And the Elements app will sync to DropBox and also let you email. There are many others.
The trick is figuring out what you need--how much formatting, e.g.--and what type of access by your PC is most convenient. I use apps that sync to DropBox or MobileMe, so that those files are always accessible. Much as I love MobileMe for syncing my calendars, contacts and to do lists, I prefer DropBox for document access and I've found iWork unreliable.

User defined field:item master

Hi,
In item master data, I want to create a user defined field which is linked to an external table wherein the end-user can automatically upload new item master details into the sap appl frm an external table.

Dear Ayesha,
As far as I understand, what you would like to do is the following :
1. A user adds some data into an external table.
2. The user defined Field in SAP B1 is automatically updated with the data in the external table.
If you would like to achieve the above, then I would suggest you to use one of the following methods :
1. DTW to import the tables' content.
2. Import/export option from Excel
3. or an Addon created via the SDK.
If I understood the issue incorrectly, please let me know.

Interactive Reporting - Is there a way to include user defined js file?

Hi,
My struggle with Hyperion IR 11.1 Studio continues... This time I need to know if it is possible to put my own js file somwhere in Studio and make it visible to all my code inside Studio. I have some function ('classes') defined which I use extensively and every time I must copy all my js file to the System or UserSection sections which is really bad practice.

Paul

I just put this call in the Document.OnStartup() event of most of my files:
eval( (new JOOLEObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")).OpenTextFile(-2, 1, "\\\\computername\\sharename\\library.js").ReadAll() );This requires you and your users to have read access to the file share, and may assume you are running on Windows.
I've also found I can use Notepad++ as an external script editor for IR Studio. I include a couple of functions in my library to read and write .js files with the same name as the .bqy file and in the same folder.

That way I have the ability to import/export scripting from any file, provided that my script library has been loaded. (So I have a menu item that loads the script library, too.)

ALV GRID - to include user defined buttons in the output

Hi,
Currently I am working on ALV grid output.
Along with the standard buttons, I need to include my own push buttons.
When I try to include it using pf-status like this,
passing parameter in alv
I_callback_pf_status_set = G_status
FORM STANDARD_02 USING EXTAB USING SLIS_T_EXTAB
set pf-status 'PF_STATUS' EXCLUDING EXTAB.
ENDFORM
I have included Confirm and exit buttons
In the output it shows only the button which I created .
I want to get both standard buttons which gets displayed when using REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY and the newly created one .
Plz help me to resolve this .
I am just passing my own internal table values to the grid .
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

hi
good
create ur own GUI status in ur program using SET PF-STATUS '--'. now give that program name and pf status name while u r copying that standard status ie.,of ALV grid Go to transaction SE41 (Menu painter). In the initial screen give the program name SAPLKKBL In the status give STANDARD Then go to the menu bar.in that follow this menu User Interface>Copy--->Status. Then a pop up will appear to give ur program name and the status name.

My user defined menu items not shown up in Main Menu

Hi,
I have some my own menu items need to add into Main Menu list, it works fine but only issue is the screen flash lot. Since all the menu items are in the form called "Main Menu" form then I tried to use oForm.Freeze(true) and oForm.Freeze(false) before and after adding menu items. Now the weird thing is though the screen doesn't flash but i can't see the new added menu items in the Main Menu form. But I can see them under the system menu Modules menu. Any idea?
Thanks!

Hi All,
After check the SDK help, I found the reason. I need to call oForm.Update() after. Now it works well.

Identifying APIs & user-defined classes

I have a class name in a string variable. Is it possible to identify whether that class is a Java API or user-defined class ? Please note that the identification has to be done thru code not manually.

There is no clear distinction between Java API and user defined classes. What I mean is there is no rule to limit user to use java.util as their package name and create their own classes like java.util.CustomCollection. Although that is not recommended at all, but nothing prevents it. There is sun.* package which implements most of the java.* classes, do you consider those Java API? And there are third party classes such as org.omg.* etc. All these classes including user defined classes are treated equally with the JVM.
So there is no clear distinction. The only thing you can do is to define a list of class names you consider Java API.
Why do you want to seperate them if I may ask? Since the JVM doesn't care.

How to pop-up a text box for a grid item on a user defined table?

Hello,
I have a user defined table with a grid & one of the columns is for comments. What I'm trying to do is to pop up a text box when double clicking in the column field. This would be the same as the Item Details column in the Sales Order ittems grid.
Thanks,

How to fill the records from a User Define Table to PO item Grid

Hi To all,
I need to fill data from User Define table records into Purchase Order Item Grid.
I created an UDF Filed in PO - Header Part - "PRS"(Filed Name)

"Select itemcode, qty from (@user define tablename) where PRS = $http://OPOR.U_PRS"
For eg:
Output from querry
ItemCode Qty
ABC 1

SDGD 9
By using formatted search it is filling only first data in to itemcode column in PO Grid.
Please help, how can i fill ALL the data in to my PO Grid?
Thanks in Advance

The easisest way is to create datasource and the result bind to grid.
Datasource:
           oDBDataSource = oForm.DataSources.DBDataSources.Add("@usertablename")
            Dim xoConditions As SAPbouiCOM.Conditions
            Dim xoCondition As SAPbouiCOM.Condition
            xoConditions = New SAPbouiCOM.Conditions
            xoCondition = xoConditions.Add
            xoCondition.BracketOpenNum = 1
            xoCondition.Alias = "u_zn"
            xoCondition.Operation = SAPbouiCOM.BoConditionOperation.co_EQUAL
            xoCondition.CondVal = "cond"
            xoCondition.BracketCloseNum = 1
            oDBDataSource.Query(xoConditions)
binding (example for matrix, in grid is simillar)
            oMatrix.Clear()
            Dim cols As SAPbouiCOM.Columns
            Dim column As SAPbouiCOM.Column
            cols = oMatrix.Columns
            column = cols.Item("colX")
            column.DataBind.SetBound(True, "@usertable", "u_x")
oMatrix.LoadFromDataSource()
hoep it helps

In Item Master Data table, I want to add 3 User Defined Fields, for e.g, Country, State and Region.
When the value of Country combo is changed, values loaded in State and Region combos should change automatically.
I'm storing the relationship between Country,State and Region in my own user defined table. I want to load the comboboxes with a query from that table.
Or, if there's no solution to the above problem:
when the Item Master data table is opened, can we launch our own form?
Is there a way to specify that?
Please reply me back.. I'm a beginner learning SAP.
With Thanks in advance,
Geetha

Item - The item is not a user-defined item

I have added a user defined field in Marketing Documents -> Title.In short I have added a user defined field at the header level.I have used this field for certain calculations while adding inventory transfer.I have created a combo for this field and added values as,
Private Sub AddSeries()
        Dim ddlSeries As SAPbouiCOM.ComboBox
        Dim objDTSeries As New DataTable
        Dim intI As Integer
        Try
            objForm = SBO_Application.Forms.GetForm("-940", 1)
            ddlSeries = objForm.Items.Item("U_ProdSeries").Specific
            strQuery = "Select Series,SeriesName FROM NNM1 WHERE ObjectCode=13"
            objDTSeries = GetData(strQuery)
            If objDTSeries.Rows.Count > 0 And ddlSeries.ValidValues.Count = 1 Then
                For intI = 0 To objDTSeries.Rows.Count - 1
                    ddlSeries.ValidValues.Add(objDTSeries.Rows(intI).Item("Series"), objDTSeries.Rows(intI).Item("SeriesName"))
                Next
            End If
        Catch ex As Exception
            SBO_Application.MessageBox("AddSeries()=" & ex.Message)
        End Try
    End Sub
Also,I want to clear the combo for certain condition.For clearing the combo I have used the code as,
Private Sub DeleteSeries()
        Dim ddlSeries As SAPbouiCOM.ComboBox
        Dim intI As Integer
        Try
            objForm = SBO_Application.Forms.GetForm("-940", 1)
            ddlSeries = objForm.Items.Item("U_ProdSeries").Specific
            While ddlSeries.ValidValues.Count > 0
                ddlSeries.ValidValues.Remove(0, SAPbouiCOM.BoSearchKey.psk_Index)
            End While
        Catch ex As Exception
            SBO_Application.MessageBox("DeleteSeries()=" & ex.Message)
        End Try
    End Sub
While Removing the value it gives error as,
Item - The item is not a user-defined item

Hello dilip

            Rs.DoQuery(strQuery)
            Rs.MoveFirst()
            For k As Integer = ddlSeries.ValidValues.Count - 1 To 0 Step -1
                ddlSeries.ValidValues.Remove(k, SAPbouiCOM.BoSearchKey.psk_Index)
            Next
            If (ddlSeries.ValidValues.Count >= 0) Then
                While Rs.EoF = False
                    ddlSeries.ValidValues.Add(Rs.Fields.Item("Series").Value, Rs.Fields.Item("SeriesName").Value)
                    Rs.MoveNext()
                End While
            End If
        Catch ex As Exception
            SBO_Application.MessageBox("AddSeries()=" & ex.Message)

Item Code Auto Generation Based on User defined Tables

I need the Item code like
PRODUCT TYPE-ITEMGROUP-ITEMCODE-SUBITEM-BRAND-COLOR e.g .FG-01-01-00-001-00.
I created the following User define Tables and link to Item Master data
U_PRO             - FOR PRODUCT TYPE
U_GROUP        - FOR ITEM GROUP
U_ITEMCODE    - FOR ITEMCODE
U_SUBITEM       - FOR SUB ITEM
U_BRD              - FOR BRAND NAME
U_COLOR         - FOR COLOR
i need a formatted search in Item code to fetch the codes from the user defined table
i tried with the following
SELECT T5.[Code]'-'T2.[Code]'-'T3.[Code]'-'T4.[Code]'-'T0.[Code]'-'T1.[Code] FROM [dbo].[@BRD] T0 , [dbo].[@COLOR] T1, [dbo].[@GROUP] T2, [dbo].[@ITEMCODE] T3, [dbo].[@SUBITEM] T4, [dbo].[@PRO] T5 INNER JOIN OITM T6 ON T5.Code = T6.U_PRO WHERE
T5.[Code] = T6.[$U_PRO] AND
T2.[Code] = T6.[$ U_GROUP] AND
T3.[Code] = T6.[$U_ITEMCODE] AND
T4.[Code] = T6.[$U_SUBITEM] AND
T0.[Code] = T6.[$U_BRD] AND
T1.[Code] = T6.[$U_COLOR]
showing errors. Can any one help me regarding this. I badly need the query for Auto generation of Itemcode

Hi,
How can you assign those UDF value without ItemCode in the first place?
Thanks,

User Defined Fields/data items

How can I add user defined fields on runtime in a pre-defined data blocks wiht the user defined attributes of data type, length and format masks.
Ofcouse I should have those fields defined in DB first.
Thanks for any help

I have a similar need.
I have a DB table that stores a list of questions and data types/sizes/usages of the answers required by the user of the form.
In a multi-record database block, I currently list the questions, and supply a Text Item to capture the user's answers, and then provide validation code to check for the proper data type & number of characters.
I would like to be able to use the data type/size/usage information that is stored with each question to create, at runtime, an appropriate item (numeric text item max length 3, or character drop-down list box, or character text item with an LOV, etc.) for each question record. In other words, one record could have a drop-down list box, while another record could have a numeric text item.
I think that I can create separate fields for each type of item, and then enable/disable the fields when required, but this solution is less elegant than the programmatic solution that I desire.
Is there a way to do this programmatically in Oracle Forms 6.0.5.0.2 for Windows, or with an OCX, or some other add-in? We do not have Oracle Applications in this group. Is there a way to get "FlexField" without having Oracle Applications?
I agree that this is a normal requirement these days as administrator-type users (as opposed to data-entry end-users) of applications want to be able to dynamically customize the app for their usage.
Oracle needs to address this issue by creating the ability in Forms/Reports to create customizable apps.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
