Is it possible to add in a 250 character text field to report

Hi Guys,
I am loading a BI ODS from an external datasource via a csv file.
the issue I have is that one of the fields that I want to load to the ODS is 250 characters long, the maximum length of a character is 60 length right?
What are my options or is there any way of showing this big 250 character field.
Thanks,

Hi
I know this is not you're asking but, if I were you I rather question the request; what are the reporting requirements? Even if it's technically possible to create a char 250 infoobject, how would you display in BEx, it won't fit the screen with key figures & keys. Also you can't possibly use this as nav attribute, unless you have a google type search that you can use wild chars! - i assume it will be a free format text. And if it's a free format text, you can't use it to make intelligent/statistical decisions, can't create exception reports/alerts etc.
Cheers
Tansu

  • Is it possible to add new columns with format "Text" once a table is linked to a form

    Is it possible to add new columns with format "Text" once a table is linked to a form in Numbers for iPhone or is it impossible and thus a serious bug?(Rating stars and numeric vales seem to work.)
    Those bugs happen both for new speadsheets as well as existing onces, like the demo. When you are in the form only the numeric keyboard shows up.
    Pat from the Apple Store Rosenstrasse/Germany approved that it looks like a Bug during the Numbers Workshop I was in: It is not possible to add new columns with format "Text". I reported the error for Version 1.4 but there is no update nor do I get statement of understanding the issue.

    Hi Knochenhort,
    I see what you are talking about now. Without knowing how the program actually works, I think this is what's going on:
    When you add a new column to an already existing table (with already existing formats), the new cells come already formatted like the previous column. So when you add a column to the end of the demo table, the cells are already formatted like stars, and when you add a column to the beginning, they're already formatted like number.
    I think this is why it's different when if you add columns to a table with blank (unformatted) columns. In that case, the new cells aren't already "tainted" with a set format, so you can change to text format without issue.
    It seems like the problem is that you can't format cells that are already formatted as "number" as "text" format (even if it doesn't look like they are, because they are blank). IMO, this is a bug! This is why you don't see this issue when adding columns to a new table, because the new cells don't already come with a format.
    To workaround, you can highlight the body cells after adding the new column, and delete the cells. This will "clear" the formatting, so you can then go in the inspector, format them as text, and the correct keyboard will pop up.
    Hope that helps!

  • How to add a instruction to a text field

    Dear all,
    I am trying different ways to add a guideline to a text field. I tried
    1/ To insert a comment, but clearly it is not working with an interactive form in Adobe Acrobat,
    2/ To use text field and set the guideline as default value on the object palette but the problem are
    - The text field is not expanded horizontally even I chose Expand to fit option
    - The guideline does not disappear in case user do not use it
    - The box does not shrink also as users do not type enough lines
    3/ To use text instead of text field for the guideline, the problem is
    - There will be a large space between the two parts since the guideline is not supposed to be printed.
    My question is whether there is a smarter way to suggest users typing in the text field by giving the instructions without having it printed out. For instance, is there a way to have a hidden box, you know, it appears as users drag a mouse or click the field?
    I know this is might be a naive question, but please help me out. I would really appreciate.

    Wow there is a lot to cover in this thread......
    1. A flowed subform means that the content within that form will be placed from left to right top to bottom. In your case where you want to place objects beside each other they need to be within a positioned subform (this means the objects will maintain their position relative to the subform boundaries). So in your case I would break up the form into logical sections and wrap those sections into a flowed subform (make the subform dimensions span the page) then wrap all of the sections in a Page subform that is flowed. Now when it flows everything the positioned subform containers will span the page and will keep theobjects where they are positioned.
    2. Each cell can only house 1 object. You could add another column to add the second course date.
    3. You can add as many rows and columns as you need....so yes you could add a course code.
    4. The form can access a database for filling the form or for writing to the DB, but there are a few things you shoudl know. Reader does not have this capability and it must be enabled using LiveCycle Reader Extensions. This is a server based product so it is priced as such. If you have a small number of users it might be more cost effective to buy Acrobat for each user. Once that is taken care of the connection to the DB is controlled by an ODBC driver in the Windows OS. This means that each machine that loads the form will need to have this driver configured (cannot be automated) as well this solution will only work on a Windows machine. In bigger installations this becomes a maintenance nightmare for most IT shops. Do you still want to proceed down this path?
    5. A form can only create a single data file structure ....I do not understand what you mean by the last point....can you elaborate?

  • How to add an animation to a text field with two lines?

    I have a text field with two or more lines. Why isn't it possible now to apply a text animation?

    For certain tasks, Titler and its Presets can be very good, and can simplify things greatly.
    However, when one gets beyond the limitations of the Titler, I really like to create my Titles in Photoshop, and Import those as Still Images into my Project. I then use the power of Keyframing various Effects over time. This allows me much more control, BUT does require more hand-work. Still, that added control is too important to me, and I sort of like doing the handwork.
    For the "alignment" of multiple Titles, to get multiple lines of Text, you can create the first Title, and then chose Duplicate Title. Initially, that will be identical, but you just change it, as is necessary. After you have changed that "second line of Text," place that Duplicate on the next Video Track, above the first Title, and use the Fixed Effect>Motion>Position, to move it down, to where it would be (by the height of the font, plus any desired Leading), if one had created a second line of Text on one Title.
    I also like to use Alignment Grids, when things get critical, and create those in Photoshop, with a trasparent background, and just place them, on say Video Track 2, with all of my Titles above that. Just do not forget to remove any Alignment Grids, before you Export/Share the Timeline, or they will be part of the output video.
    For more background on Keyframing (so very useful with more than just Titles), Steve Grisetti has done a multi-part tutorial, available as Basic Keyframing on Muvipix.com. I highly recommend it. Keyframing is simple to do, but can be a bit of a tough concept to grasp initially, and it's a subject that is tough to write about - takes longer to type instructions, than to do the work.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - Do not know if you saw them, but Titler has two Alignment Tools - Align Horizontally, and Align Vertically, that can be helpful to center Text.

  • Is it possible to add characters to the Character Palette?

    Just wondering if this is possible and if so, how? Thanks, Paul

    I just thought
    one could add one's own sybols.
    The Character Palette is just a reflection of your fonts, so what you need is a font with the symbol you want. If you put the Palette into glyph mode, you can check out what is in Dingbats, Webdings, Wingdings, etc. But I don't think there is a paw. So you would need to make a font with a paw in it. Here are a couple links for font making:
    FontLab
    FontForge
    I sent several of them to my yahoo
    mail and they did not come through
    You probably need to set the encoding on your browser or mail program to UTF-8.

  • Is it possible to add placeholders in Localized Resource text?

    Hi,
    I am writing a script for validating the file type of attachment file in an Attachment extension field. We have to restrict users from selecting any file other than the allowed types. If user selects a different file, I want to display an error mesage like "File type <selected type> is not supported"
    Can I add a localized resource with a placeholder for <selected type>? I want the <selected type> in the error message to be dynamically populated by the value I pass to it from the script. is this possible? if yes, how?

    Got it after lots of trial and error. I created a new Localised Resource with a value like this:
    "File type {0} is not a supported type..."
    The {0} in the message is replaced by the actual file type using a message modifier string array (details in Reference Guide iAPI section for ChainedException). Here is the code snippet that did the job for me:
    Set errorId to the localised resource id then:
    msgMod = new String[1];
    attach = doc.getExtensionField("W9_ATTACH").get();
    if (hasValue(attach)){
        String fileName = attach.getDisplayName();
        logIt("*** User has selected W9 attachment file " + fileName + " ***", 1);
        //Get the file extension
        String extension = "";
        int i = fileName.lastIndexOf('.');
        if (i >= 0)
            extension = fileName.substring(i+1);
        logIt("*** File type is " + extension + " ***", 1);
        //Validate - throw error if the type is not PDF, BMP, TIF or JPG
        if (!Arrays.asList(new String[] {"PDF", "BMP", "TIF", "JPG", "pdf", "bmp", "tif", "jpg"}).contains(extension)) {
            msgMod[0] = extension;
           ae.chainAtEnd(doc.createApplicationException("W9_ATTACH",bundle,errorId).setMessageModifiers(msgMod));

  • It is possible to add a defined sized Digital Signature field at a certain location on the document using the Adobe SDK?

    I have a need to create a Digital Signature field of the same size, in the same location, on many PDF documents over and over.  I would like to do this automagically through the Adobe SDK if that is possible.  Has anyone done something like this before, and if so can you briefly describe how?  Thank you.

    You can do this most easily with JavaScript.

  • Possible to add the Carriage Return Character

    Hi all,
    I need to add the Carriage Return characters at the end of the each paragraphs.  I found the insertTextAsContent (using: {String | SpecialCharacters} , position: XMLElementPosition), but don't know how to use this function. I think in this method accept only the position as XML Element Object.
    How to use this function to achieve my task?.
    Using: InDesign CS4/Javascript/Windows.
    Regards,

    you could do: string += "\r";
    \r is a carriage return, and \n is a newline

  • Possible to change type of spry validation text field at run time?

    I am trying to record a date of death on a form, which obviously for live people might not require a value. I have a radio group (Yes/No) that specifies whether the fields associated with the date of death are visible (select for month, day and year).  For the year, I have it set to be an integer with a minimum and maximum value.  The selects have an invalid value of -1 set, with one item labeled "Select month" and "Select day" given the -1 value.
    When the "no" button is clicked, I want to make it so that submitting the form does not cause validation errors for the spry fields associated with the date of death.  I have successfully added onChange events to the select objects that call javascript, along the lines of spryselect1.invalidValue = -2.  I can also make it so that the text field representing the year of death is not forced to be required: sprytextfield1.isRequired = false.
    However, I'm having a hard time getting the "invalid format" validation to be canceled.  I have tried executing sprytextfield1.type = "none", since looking at the source code in SpryValidationTextField.js seems to indicate that the object's type property is important.  However, this doesn't work; I think that's because the type property is used to look up a validation function in an array when the object is constructed, and may not be referenced again after that.
    So, I'm looking for either:
    a property/method to call to effectively change the type OR
    information on whether reconstructing the variable with new options will work.  I am not sure if any event handlers registered during the object's original construction will still be fired even if I make the variable point to a new object.  I see a destroy function in the source code that might do what I want, but my Javascript knowledge isn't too great, so I don't know if that method needs to be called explicity or whether it happens implicitly when an object is garbage collected.
    Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give.

  • Library filters: can I add to the list of metadata fields that I can search by?

    Is it possible to add to the list of metadata fields that lightroom can search for images by?
    I know about the 'Any searchable ... ' but that does now allow me to search for specific conditions -
    I am using some of the IPTC fields as a way to classify images of mine for various purposes and would like to
    do something like search for images where the iptc source field has a certain value while the instructions
    fields has some other value. I do not think this is possible using the available tools.
    So, I'd like to be able to add these fields to the menu of possible fields in Smart collections
    of the library metadata filter.
    So, am I missing something obvious? Can this be done?
    Cheers,
    Bonny

    Hi Rob,
    Thanks for this plug in - it's really great.
    The fields I'm looking for are part of the IPTC fields, and since I'm entering them in LR, they're not part of the image,
    and I assume not something that exiftool can find in the image. So unfortunately I do not think I can use this plugin
    for the actual purpose I'm intending.
    I'll shed some light on what I'm doing and therefore what I'm looking for:
    I have a collection of images (of people) that I need to match names to.
    I use some IPTC fields (that are otherwise useless for me) to store this data.
    These fields are the "Job Identifier", "Instructions", "Creditline" and "Source" in the IPTC tagset.
    At  some point I then want to look for errors in the data entry, etc and so I need to search for various
    values of those fields for validation purposes mainly.
    I created a tagset using Jeffrey's plugin and it allows me to view and use only the info I'm after, but no searching.
    Your plugin provides more complete functionality (tagset creation as well as the searchability). The only question
    is how do I go about using your plugin to use the fields I'm using?
    Cheers,
    Bonny

  • Add a character to end of text field

    I'm looking for a script that will add a character to the end of all text fields in a document. Or one that adds it to a single text field that I could add to all my text fields.
    The reason is that our end client will be copying and pasting text from the PDF and entering it into another system and it needs to maintain the line breaks at the end of the line. We thought this would be the safest route as it eliminates the potential for human error if someone doesn't enter it manually.
    I was playing around with fieldFull commands but can't seem to get anything to work. I thought something like…
    if(event.fieldFull) { getField(myfieldname).value = ":\n" }
    but that's not working at all; mostly due to my lack of programming expertise, I'm sure. Any help would be awesome.

    Thanks for the quick response. That's a great question that I don't really have an answer for from a requirements stand point.
    What we have is an end-user tool that only allows a certain amount of characters per line and only a certain amount of lines. So we're faking some of this by having a single text field represent a single line with a character counter set on it and a max character limit set as well. Then theres a script running that focuses you to the next field as you've filled out each one. We just want to make sure that at the very end there's a hard return added to every line (text field) so when our client copies and pastes this it holds the formatting. Make sense?
    I guess whatever would be easiest is my best response to you. Maybe when they exit the field would make sense?

Maybe you are looking for
