Input data to variable type char

Hello,
i would like to know how to input data to Char
import java.util.Scanner;
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
x = sc.nextInt();
but, its not working on Char

You can also use
char c = sc.next("\\p{Alpha}").charAt(0);This accepts a single character, a-z or A-Z, and throws InputMismatchException for any other input.
If you want to change what is acceptable input, select the desired category from those listed in the Pattern class - or create your own.
Your use of "Char" leaves it unclear as to whether you meant the Character class, or the primitive char. I assumed the latter.

Enable "dynamic date calculation" variable type

When saving reporting date/period in a report variant, we may use "dynamic date calculation" to specific date as selection parameter. But the "Dynamic date calculation" is not visible in some ABAP reports - only "Table Variable from TVARVC" type is available for selection.
For those reports that are missing that variable type, how can we enable the "Dynamic date calculation" variable type to be visible?

Hi Paco:
Yes, they are z-reports, both have the same almost everything, created by the same ABAPer, for the same application SD, just grouping the data differently.
It seems a screen (#100?) is missing, In the old version, it's screen 100 where to activate the "D" and "B" variable types. Now it goes to screen 281.

How to convert DATE variable to CHAR variable

dear all,
How to convert DATE variable to CHAR variable
thanq

Depending on your final goal here are 2 options.
DATA: datein        TYPE d.
DATA: dateout(10)   TYPE c.
DATA: dateout2(8)   TYPE c.
datein = sy-datum.
WRITE datein TO dateout MM/DD/YYYY.
dateout2 = datein.
WRITE:/ datein, dateout, dateout2.
and the output
05022008 05/02/2008 20080502

Formula variable for a user input DATE value

Hi All,
I want to create Formula variable for a user input DATE value as I need to use it in a formula to compare between user entry date & date in the DSO. Does any body has any idea about it?
I tried to create formula variable with manual entry but then I am not getting DATE option.
Regards,
Sonal

Hi ,
You have to create a formula variable in the formula.
The formula variable in the general tab would have the reference characteristic as your date characteristic on which you have created a user entry variable or on which you intend to create a date entry variable.
Give the proceesing type as replacement path.
Next in Replacement path mention you would replace the variable with value of another variable.
Mention the variable name.(This is the actual varaible created on the selection screen),
Also mention you would replace only from value/to value of the variable.
Check the following help link
[Replacement path type formula variable|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm]
Hope this helps,

Input data type of Matlab script node

Hi,
I have 1D array of complex number in single precision.
Matlab script node is used to import data into Matlab and do some data processing, and then export.
Data type of input is currently double precision.
How to re-define this input data type of the Matlab script node?
Thanks,

Right, arrays of singles are not supported. See Comparison of MathScript RT Module and the MATLAB® Software Data Types in LabVIEW
As for memory usage, Profiling the VI should let you know how much memory Labview uses when running your code. Communication with MATLAB® is done through ActiveX, and I'm actually not 100% sure whether it will reflect memory usage from script execution. I think it'll be simple enough to profile your VI with and without the MATLAB Script node and note the memory usage difference...

Data type-Char?

Hi experts,
A simple query. Do the data type CHAR accepts the values like 8923, 452A, etc? while creating an infoobject.?
Thanks in advance.

Yes it accepts .
for data consistency you have to maintain alfa conversion.

Variable Type EXIT - Locking Transaction Data

Dear all,
I have to use a variable type Exit in the level to identify all cost centers for a planner and his corresponding boss (master data lookup). Now e.g.
the planner has cost center 1 and 2 as possible single values. The boss has cost center 1, 2, 3,and 4 because he also is the boss of an other one.
The result is now that the boss locks all cost centers 1,2,3 and four even if he only plans e.g. the cost center 4. In this way it is not possible for the planner to enter data for 1 or 2 the same time.
Does anybody has an idea to solve this situation or how to lock only the values of the variable that is really in use?
Thanks a lot
Dieter

Hi Dieter,
Refer to Marc's comment in the below post that Planning layouts lock all data
How to avoid SEM-BPS Lock entries
Hence the best option would be to create a different Planning level for Cost center based on the need for planning.
You could also explore the possibility of creating a BEx report wherein the data just needs to be viewed by the boss and not planned.
Hope it helps
Cheers
Anurag
Also take a look at this document to get some more insight into locking in BPS
https://websmp102.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700004574572003E/SEMBPSLocking.pdf

How can i validate input number into a Field of type char in oracle form?

hi.....

How can i validate input number into a Field of type char in oracle form?

i have tried doing that, but still the field except numbersthere was an error in that code. it should have been
var_num:=to_number(var_char);however, it appears that you want the entry NOT to be a number. if this is the case then try
begin
if to_number(:block.item) = 0 then null; end if;
message('The entry cannot be numeric');
raise form_trigger_failure
exception
when value_error then
/* this is where you put the code you want to be run when the

As Jingyang said, you cannot sum a non numeric field. Cast it to a numeric first (INT maybe?)
+ RIGHT('0000000000'+REPLACE(CAST(SUM(CAST(PAID_AMT AS INT)) AS VARCHAR),'.',''),14) AS TOT_NET_PAID

Cannot create a date in cfformitem type="script"

I tried to create date variables using "new Date" in
cfformitem type="script" and got an error about the "new" reserver
word. Therefore, I removed the "new" and tested the script. It
worked with the wrong result because the todayDate and selectedDate
in the CheckDate2 were the same. By some reason, it ignored all the
input parameters. However, everything worked fine in the
cfsavecontent.
Anyone has idea? Thanks in advance.
Here is the script:
<cfsavecontent variable="CheckDate1">
var todayDate = new Date(myForm.todayYear,
myForm.todayMonth, myForm.todayDate, 0, 0, 0, 0);
var selectedDate = new Date(
myForm.select_date1.substr(6, 4),
myForm.select_date1.substr(0, 2) - 1,
myForm.select_date1.substr(3, 2),
0, 0, 0, 0
alert("Today's Date in the cfsavecontent:\n" + todayDate +
"\n\n" +
"Seleced Date in the cfsavecontent:\n" + selectedDate);
if (selectedDate > todayDate)
alert("You cannot select a date greater than today's date");
else
alert("You are ok.");
</cfsavecontent>

Good. That's that sorted.
> The problem is the cfformitem does not allow
“new” or other reserved words
As I'm sure you're already aware, it is so by design. For
security reasons, the Coldfusion Flash form compiler does not allow
the creation of objects in an event handler. It therefore prohibits
the use of the "new" keyword in an event handler script. In fact,
It may not even allow its occurrence in a comment!
> When I put the function in a .as file and include it in the
CFM file or use
> cfsavecontent to store the as function, the CF compiler
accepts the reserved

It's a hack, one design gremlin that got away. In programming
as in nature there are (un)lucky accidents.
> the Date constructor ignores the input parameters and

> current system date in the date objects.
We should be glad it even gets that far. Without the "new"
keyword, it should not be possible to create a new Date object. The
flash compiler encounters a familiar constructor pattern, and
simply makes do by creating the default date of today, right down
to hours, minutes and seconds. Your arguments are ignored.
Thus, the following will all return the same result, namely,
the date of today.
var todayDate = Date(myForm.todayYear, myForm.todayMonth,
myForm.todayDate, 0, 0, 0, 0);
var todayDate = Date(myForm.todayYear, myForm.todayMonth,
myForm.todayDate);
var todayDate = Date(0);
var todayDate = Date(100000000000);
var todayDate = Date();
Even then, the todayDate variable doesn't behave properly
like a Date object. For example, function calls like
todayDate.getDate() fail. Comparing dates also fails. That is
possibly because the machine cannot cast the todayDate variable.
However, here is an approach that does what you want.
<cfformitem type="script">
function CheckDate2() {
var todayDate:Date = Date();
var todayDateInMillis =
Date.UTC(myForm.todayYear,myForm.todayMonth,myForm.todayDate);
var selected_date:Date = select_date2.selectedDate;
var selected_dateInMillis = selected_date.getTime();
alert("Today's Date from cfformitem tag :\n" + todayDate +
"\n\n" + "Selected Date from cfformitem tag:\n" + selected_date);
if (selected_dateInMillis > todayDateInMillis) alert("You
cannot select a date greater than today's date");
else
alert("You are ok.");
</cfformitem>

User Report data bind variable problems

Hello,
I am trying to build a simple report in SQLDeveloper, using a DATE bind variable. But it fails with the error message:
Inconsistent datatype, expected DATE got NUMBER
SELECT * FROM FLOW_COMP_REC_SUMMARY_RU
where create_date = trunc(:TARGET_DATE)
and type = 'D'
ORDER BY MESSAGE_FLOW_ID
Running this query in SQLDeveloper worksheet executes properly after a dialog box pops up and I enter: current_date - 1
SELECT * FROM FLOW_COMP_REC_SUMMARY_RU
where create_date = trunc(&TARGET_DATE)
and type = 'D'
ORDER BY MESSAGE_FLOW_ID
I've searched but no clear solutions present themselves. If you have one it would be most appreciated.
Thanks

You'll have to convert the input to date yourself:
SELECT * FROM FLOW_COMP_REC_SUMMARY_RU
where create_date = TO_DATE(:TARGET_DATE, 'DD/MM/YYYY')
and type = 'D'
ORDER BY MESSAGE_FLOW_ID
Have fun,
K.

How to define new variable types in BPEL?

Is there a way to define a new variable type directly in BPEL, without modifying any of the WSDL files used by Partnerlinks?
Or to import an XSD with variable definitions?

It depends on what you want to use the variable for. You may not need to do it yourself. Let's assume you have a main wsdl for your service that you can't change but it has the inputs and outputs already defined.
In the middle you want to grab the input and shove it into a database table. You can create a new partner link. Rright click in the swim lanes on the BPEL page and pick the little database icon. Go through the steps to link to the db via an insert or package. You will need a db connection to do this.
jdeveloper will create the partner link wsdl and schema for you to match the table or the ins/outs of the package/procedure automatically.
Then drag an invoke onto the page and pull the arrow to your new partner link. Use the magic wand on the invoke screen to create the input/output variables.
Then you can use a transformation or assign/copy to pull the data from the input message variable of the main wsdl into the input variable of your database wsdl.
Or your situation may not be that complicated...if you click the little (X) on the edge of the box on the BPEL screen you can go through a picking process.
