InfoObjects lower case setting

I am loading a DSO from a flat file, using all custom InfoObjects. The data coming in is both lower and upper case letters. I have two options that I know of. One is to set the InfoObject to accept lowercase letters, and the 2nd option is to use the formula TOUPPER.
My question is why is one better than the other, since the InfoObjects are custom and will be used for nothing else?
Thanks, Keith

Per my previous experience, I use TOUPPER in routine for the key data, which will use to search, restrict, navigate or other reporting operation.
It helps to prevent the problem caused by data quality of source system.
And leave the other infoobject as low case enable because basically they are used for display some information to end-user.

Infoobject Lower Case Error

hi Experts
I have Created One Infoobject Without Enabling Lower Case
i loaded Lower Case Values Without Enabling Lower Case
Is there Any Conversion Routine to Achive this?

Hi,
you can use function TOUPPER to convert the lower case to upper case.
In the transformation -- right click on the io -->select rule details -->select rule type --> select "formula"
use function as TOUPPER(IO) - save..
this wil ltake care of lower case letters.
If looking for routine check the below code
TABLES: ...
DATA: to_upper(XX) type c. (use I-Object length)
$$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line -
to_upper = TRAN_STRUCTURE-I-Object Field name.
translate to_upper to upper case.
RESULT = to_upper.
returncode 0 means skip this record
RETURNCODE = 0.
abort 0 means skip whole data package !!!
ABORT = 0.
$$ end of routine - insert your code only before this line -
ENDFORM.

Auto-Capitalization: How can I set Pages v5.01 to auto-capitalize the first letter of the first word in a sentence and to automatically change lower case "i" to "I" appropriately. I'm unable to find a menu that offers me these.

You are writing that in the perspective of having read about it here already. Repeated often enough that you encountered it somewhere in the posts.
Users are flooding in here and don't know any of this. Of course we have to repeat everything endlessly.
Because I like to give precise, understandable and workable answers to repeated questions, and Apple doesn't allow sticky posts here, I created a separate forum which users can consult to look up real answers, and contribute for themselves if they have something valuable to add:

There is a section purely devoted to Pages 5. Add whatever answers you feel will lighten the problems of Apple's 'upgrades'.

* Where have they acknowledged anything?
** They have barely anything listed, compared to the massive list of deleted features, and nothing but an extraordinarily long time frame considering they created the problems here and now. Apple has not said they will do anything at all about fixing the real issues, the biggest of which is that the new iWork apps break virtually all the work of existing users.

No lower case allowed for infoobject despite checkbox unchecked

Hi,
I get problems with loading data in an infobject when the data is in lower case.
If I understand it correctly, the lower case isn't the trouble maker. If this flag is set, upper case and lower case are distinguished. Otherwise all the letters entered will be converted to upper case.
So to my feeling the lower case data should be converted to uppercase since the checkbox is not checked in my case.
Despite this, I get this error. Data will all capital data loads fine.
Am I missing something? Is this normal?
Eddy

I think you are interpreting the checkbox for lowercase wrongly.
If you check the checkbox you should be able to load lower case aswell.
If you donot check this checkbox it only means you cannot load lower case letters, it doesnt mean it will be converted to uppercase.You need to convert it to upper case in your transformation by coding something like :
TRANSLATE RESULT TO UPPERCASE.
Hope this helps.

Lower case letters checkbox

Could anybody explain me the use of Lower case letters checkbox under general tab in the info object

Hi,
from help
Lowercase Letters Allowed / Not Allowed
If this indicator is set, the system differentiates between lowercase letters and capital letters when you use a screen template to input values. If this indicator is not set, the system converts all the letters into capital letters when you use a screen template to input values. During the load process or in the transformation, no conversion occurs.
This means that values with lowercase letters cannot be updated to an InfoObject that does not allow lowercase letters
If you choose to allow the use of lowercase letters, you must be aware of what happens when you input variables:
If you want to use the characteristic in variables, the system is only able to find the values for the characteristic if the lowercase letters and the capital letters are typed in accurately on the input screen for variables. If, on the other hand, you do not allow the use of lowercase letters, any characters that you type in the variable screen, are converted automatically into capital letters.
Thanks

Upper and Lower case letters

Hi Folks
I have lower case letters coming in lot of fields - The lower case letters are coming in Key and Data Fields. In short my 90% od the infoobject have this challenge.
I know I have following 2 options
(1) Convert to upper in transformation
(2) change the infoobject setting.
I read couple of messages and I know putting "Convert to upper" in routines is a better option.
Now I am trying to look why the option 2 is not good.
I can guess the following reasons but I am looking for an SAP help document which can confirm the same. Or if any users have experinced this issues when you allow lower case letters.
(a) F4 list can take longer, this can impact query perfromance
(b) Indexing can take longer.
(c)Search will become case sensitive- SAP gives a warning when you switch on lower case letters.
regards
Poonam

How can I change a column to lower case?

I selected an entire column and discovered that it's already set at Format > Font > Capitalization > None
If I change "None" to "All Caps," it capitalizes everything. But when I change it back to "None," letters that were originally capitalized remain capitalized. How can I change EVERY letter in a column to lower case?
Thanks.

Format > Font > Capitalization changes how the text is displayed. But it doesn't change the actual text.
To change all letters to lower case you can use the LOWER() function in cells that refer to the original text. Then select the cells with the formula displaying the "recapitalized" text, command-c to copy, and Edit > Paste Formula Results to remove the formulas.

How can you create a paragraph style that removes all spaces and forces everything to lower case?

Hi,
Is there anyway of using GREP (or some other magical wizardry) to create a paragraph style that automatically removes all spaces and forces words into lower case?
Strange request i know....I'm wanting to use it for datamerged email addresses.
Thanks

so doing it through InDesign is a work around I'm exploring.
Excel has the 'LOWER' function and the ability to record macros for a quick find/replace on the spaces - so that's definitely a good option if it can't be solved purely in InDesign.
You can change case via scripting in InDesign. This AppleScript (OSX only) will set the case of the selected paragraph style to lower. It would be possible to add some code that would strip spaces as well:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS6"
    activate
        set StyleList to name of every paragraph style of active document
    set myDialog to make dialog with properties {name:"Document Paragraph Styles"}
    tell myDialog
        tell (make dialog column)
            tell (make border panel)
                tell (make dialog column)
                    make static text with properties {static label:"Choose a Style", min width:150}
                end tell
                tell (make dialog column)
                    set myPresetsDropdown to make dropdown with properties {string list:StyleList, selected index:0, min width:150}
                end tell
            end tell
        end tell
    end tell
    set myResult to show myDialog
    if myResult = true then
        --+1 gets the correct name because list starts at 0
        set myStyle to item ((selected index of myPresetsDropdown) + 1) of StyleList
    else
        return
    end if
    destroy myDialog
    tell active document
        set myStyle to paragraph style myStyle
        repeat with j from 1 to (count stories)
            repeat with i from 1 to (count paragraphs in story j)
                if applied paragraph style of paragraph i of story j is myStyle then
                    --defines a variable to replace the generic this_text parameter in the handler
                    set SCText to the contents of paragraph i of story j
                    set contents of paragraph i of story j to my change_case_of(SCText)
                end if
            end repeat
        end repeat
    end tell
end tell
on change_case_of(this_text)
    set the_comparison_string to "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
    set the_source_string to "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
    set the_new_text to ""
    repeat with thisChar in this_text
        set x to the offset of thisChar in the_comparison_string
        if x is not 0 then
            set the_new_text to (the_new_text & character x of the_source_string) as string
        else
            set the_new_text to (the_new_text & thisChar) as string
        end if
    end repeat
    return the_new_text
end change_case_of

Lower case in variable substitution

Hi experts,
in my scenario I have a receiver CC that put an xml file in a target server.
The requirement is to dynamically determine target directory based on a field on mapping header.
I have used variabile substitution to retrieve the value of the field, and with %% i have put this value on field target directory.
The problem is: value from mapping is in capital letter, but the name of the target directory in which I have to put the file is in lower case letters, and target server is case sensitive.
Obviously I cannot change value in mapping, but I need to put variable in variable substituion in lower letters.
Is it possible?
Thanks
Fabio

no
also in case you want to put small case in variable substitution why cant you use dynamic configuration and set the values to lower case?

ISE 1.2 - Guest Account converted to lower-case automatically

I have an ISE appliance version 1.2 and sponsor portal
I create accounts with upper case username and upper case password, but Sponsor portal convert it to lower case.
I try to login with lower case or upper case. I can't login with both.

PDF created with InDesign CS6, Helvetica Neue font, causes lower-case "r's" to be bold

The pdf was created from InDesign CS6 using Windows 7. I cannot recreate the problem on my machine, but it is happening on a coworker's machine. The only character affected is the lower-case r. It appears bold when viewing the pdf of his machine. I am also running Windows 7 and it looks fine to me. My boss is using a Mac and it also looks fine to her. Does anyone know what might be causing this problem?

Hmm...until it's isolated to the 'r' it surely sounds like the typical effect often caused by the "Enhance Thin Lines" preference setting in Acrobat/Reader/browser-x-plugin, which most commonly affects l's and i's.
It's also true that various servings of Helvetica Neue are at the center of many such tales of woe.
I'd recommend some simple testing on the co-worker's computer with PDF's produced under the same conditions using different fonts; perhaps some varied weights of the same Helvetica Neue.

Hibernate for lower case data(case sensitive) in oracle 10G

Hi,
I generated my data (oracle 10G release 2) using lowercase data types and table names. This requires queries in the strict form of -
Select "Column_Name" from "Table_name";
But Hibernate makes the queries as -
Select Column_Name from Table_Name;
driver I am using is oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
Jar is ojdbc14
and dialect is org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9Dialect
The problem is:
table or view does not exist.
as it(lower case data) does not recognize the hibernate query format.
Can anyone suggest the proper driver and Jar to overcome the problem.
Regards,
Ankit

Ankit,
Just bite the bullet and don't use case-sensitive identifiers :-)
I don't use "hibernate", but maybe you can add the double-quotes -- " -- in the XML file?
I don't think there's a JDBC driver that adds the double-quotes for you. So I think your only option (if you insist on using case-sensistive identifiers) is to explore possibilities through "hibernate" itself.
I also don't think there's any database setting that allows Oracle to accept case-sensitive identifiers.
Good Luck,
Avi.

Interactive Report Download - filenames always in lower case

I've written an interactive report in Apex v4.0.2 and have set the CSV download option to use a filename of "One_Two_Three" (note the capitalization).
However when the CSV file is generated, the filename is "one_two_three" - all in lower case. I've tried using substitution variables in the filename and this doesn't make any difference.
Is there a way to stop conversion to lowercase ? Is it possible to intercept or override something to allow even greater control the filename ?
thanks
Andy

Well, found some answers after some more trial and error.
1.) Country settings messed up my csv format. After changing the default column separator in the report attributes, things now look as expected.
2.) One can rather easily suppress the format signs by using the sql replace functionality, e.g.
SELECT REPLACE (my_column, CHR(10),' ') FROM my_table
And it is actually quite a difference if you use text area or rich text fields when it comes to the usage of the breaks.
Cheers,
Martin

WON'T DISPLAY LOWER CASE "B"

PLEASE DISREGARD MY PREVIOUS POST, IN WHICH I WROTE THAT MY SYSTEM WON'T PRINT A LOWER CASE "B". WHAT I MEANT TO SAY IS THAT IT WON'T DISPLAY THAT LETTER. CAP "B" IS OK. ONLY DOES THIS IN OSX, BUT WORKS OK IN OS9. IT'S NOT THE KEYOARD, AS I SWAPPED IT WITH ANOTHER, TO SAME RESULT. I'M TOTALLY PUZZLED. ANY BODY KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM?
BRUCE

Yes, that's what I thought.
(Thank you SO much for that last message, Bruce
I'm hoping someone will come along shortly who knows exactly what this is, but I really think it's a keyboard shortcut that you've set up, maybe even accidently, that is doing this . . . I'll keep looking around in the meanwhile.
Edit: Have you set any of your own keyboard shortcuts??
