Is it possible to dynamically create psp variables?

I'd like to be able to dynamically create psp variables on the fly. Without getting into details; using straight shared variables defined in a library is too constraining for my application. I've found that I can create PSP variables dynamically using DataSocket VIs in the System directory (psp://localhost/system/), though I can't seem to do it with the LV Shared Variable VIs. I was just curious if there was any way to programmatically create psp variables without using DataSocket VIs.

In the client yes,
Dynamically Creating Shared Variables
The SVE will automatically create the target variable with default properties when a client attempts to connect to a URL with the following format.
psp://computer/System/shared_variable, where shared_variable is the named tag for the data."
On the server you create them. I believe, if my memory is correct, if you have DSC option there is code to dynamically create them on server side.

Is it possible to dynamically create a user variable at runtime from within a Widget?

I'm trying to develop a custom Interactive Widget. This widget will allow the user to take multiple attempts, and needs to store information about previously completed attempts so they can (hopefully) see their improvements over time.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to store the data about the previously completed attempts across multiple sessions in a LMS. It seems that the data stored in user variables is automatically stored/restored in suspend_data, which would be perfect. The issue is that I can't find a way to dynamically create a new user variable from within a Widget. It looks like I can only access user variables that the author has explicitly defined in the Captivate interface. I'd rather not have to force the author to define an empty User Variable that they'll never knowingly use, just to give the Widget a bucket to store its data.
Does anyone have any ideas for what might be the best way to accomplish this? I'd like to stick to standard, "approved" APIs as much as possible, but I'd be willing to bend some rules if necessary.
Thanks!

Ryan,
I assume you've asked this question here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/elearning-technology-and-development/e5 vWZfJ6X8I
I asked a similar question here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/elearning-technology-and-development /leichliter/elearning-technology-and-development/Au88bu7LB5o/TC7xlo8iBpQJ
Philip gave you sound advice. You'll have to hijack/re-purpose the comments or the suspend data. I was successful in using SCORM comments in a Moodle system to store extra data I needed for a customer. It's not ideal, but it gets the job done. Here's a thread about that:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/elearning-technology-and-development/Yg YAMGfXQNw
If you use suspend data, you have to watch out for a few things:
1. It's base 64 encoded... so any data you append to what Captivate outputs will need to be in base 64 (that's a good practice anyway since the data has to be serialized).
2. On course re-entry, you'll need to capture the suspend data before it hits Cp to strip off / read your needed data. If the suspend data isn't in the format Cp expects, you'll get a nice white screen of death.
Ideally, it would be nice to be able to dynamically create user variables for purposes like this... and it's been requested in Cp 6.... we'll see if it gets added (not holding my breath). Until then, I'd use cmi.comments.

Dynamically create (global) variables

Hi,
Is it in anyway possible to dynamically create variables, like you can do in Forms:
DEFAULT_VALUE('test', v_test);
with v_test holding the variable, like 'GLOBAL.TEST'. Forms would then create me the variable as it doesn't exist yet, assigning the given value.
Like this I could read my variables' names from a DB table, dynamically create them, and assign their values. Inside the report I would then use them as lexical references.
I know I can create parameters inside the report achieving the same, but we need the table-approach for our translations. Getting rid of the parameters' overhead would be great!
Any suggestions appreciated,
K.

Where the lov is attached set the VALIDATE FROM LIST property to YES and craate one trigger for each field called WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM and use the code as below...
IF GET_ITEM_PROPERTY('FORM_FIELD_NAME',ITEM_IS_VALID)='FALSE' THEN
:FORM_FIELD_NAME:=:GLOBAL.EmpCode;
END IF;
Don't forget to set NULL for global variable in KEY-LISTVAL trigger after assigning value to the form's field.

Is it possible to dynamically create form fields in PDF form?

Hi all,
I would like to dynamically create object like textbox, dropdown list from xml data. For example:
When I receive following xml data:
<field name="Check Box" type="selectbox"/>
<field name="Text Field" type="textbox"/>
I want to generate 2 form fields check box and text field with title "Check Box" and "Text Field" accordingly.
Is it possible to do it in javascript for PDF form?
Thank you and regards,

You cannot dynamically create objects on the fly like that but you can create interpret the XML and create an XDP file (which is the language of the template file) then bring that into Designer and create a PDF from that.

Dynamically creating variable names in javascript

Hi.
I have to create variable names dynamically in JavaScript.
My JSP file accesses information from Database and forms a String corresponding to the information received.
This String is passed to a JAvaScript function that should CREATE a variable with that NAME.
For Ex:
My database access resulted in a single row...
id name sal
34 John Smith 38000
the resulting VARIABLE NAME should be Menu34. 34 comes from the database result.
Is there any function to dynamically create a variable name in JavaScript?
Thanks in advance.

The JSP is printing the contents of an HTML page, and Javascript code can be part of that output...
So you would just write out the stuff, something like this....
<script>
<% while(rs.hasNext()) { %>
var Menu<%= rs.getInt("id") %> = '<%= rs.getString("name") %>';
<% } %>
</script>
In the browser, it'll just look like another long list of Javascript variables.

Dynamicly creating an internal table with header line

Hi experts,
I am trying to do a read on an internal table using field symbols of type any table. To be able to read more than one row at once, I'd like to read it into another internal table (instead of just one line and instead of looping through them one by one).
So far the following line rendered an error that the target internal table doesn't have a header line
read table <fs_v_tab> WITH KEY (<fs_comp>) = <fs_param>-low INTO <fs_v_tab>.
(also attempted using "<fs_v_tab>->*" & "<fs_v_tab>[]" to be silly)
Based on the following article, I was wondering if it were possible to dynamicly create an internal table with header line.
[http://help-abap.blogspot.com/2008/09/dynamic-internal-table-creation.html|http://help-abap.blogspot.com/2008/09/dynamic-internal-table-creation.html]
Any help or tips on how to dynamicly filter an internal table field-symbol is greatly appreciated!

Just read the online help:
This statement reads a row from internal table itab.
Or more exact:
This statement reads one row from internal table itab.
Therefore you can not read multiple lines into another table. The header line is needed to put the result in. And this is not what you intended, the result will be in the header line, not in the table itself.
If the row to be read is not uniquely specified, the first suitable row is read. In the case of index tables, this row has the lowest table index of all matching rows.
At least you have to do what you dont wanna do: looping.

Dynamically Create (and reference) Dialog Window Groups

I'm trying to setup a dialog window that can be easily added to via a CSV file. The only problem I've run into is; I'm not quite sure how to create the groups dynamically. Basically, the script setups up a bunch of texture features and then gives the option to save and/or strip that feature. Below is the basic idea of what I'm trying to do, but the groups are not able to be created in the way that they are shown:
featArray = [];
featArray[0] = new Array("Feature Display Name","feature sub-group",'texture',"feature action",'feature type');
featArray[1] = new Array("Feature2 Display Name","feature2 sub-group",'texture',"feature2 action",'feature2 type'); //etc.
for(var z in featArray) {
    if(featArray[z][2] == 'texture') {
        w.p1.sp1.add('statictext',undefined,featArray[z][0]);
        w.p1.sp1.g[z] = w.p1.sp1.add('group');
        w.p1.sp1.g[z].orientation = 'row';
        w.p1.sp1.g[z].add('checkbox',undefined,'Save');
        w.p1.sp1.g[z].add('checkbox',undefined,'Strip');
        w.p1.sp1.g[z].children[0].id = featArray[z][0].toLowerCase() + "-save";
        w.p1.sp1.g[z].children[1].id = featArray[z][0].toLowerCase() + "-strip";
If you change the g[z] to g1, it will create each field correctly (visually), but there is no way to properly reference the check boxes to see which are checked. Any ideas how, or even if, it is possible to dynamically create a different group for each line of the featArray? And if so, how to then reference the check boxes in those groups later on? Thanks in advance for any help!

You just use the array ie:
featArray = [];
featArray[0] = new Array("Feature Display Name","feature sub-group",'texture','feature group','feature type');
featArray[1] = new Array("Feature Display Name2","feature sub-group2",'texture','feature group2','feature type2'); //etc.
var w = new Window('dialog','test');
w.p1= w.add("panel", undefined, undefined, {borderStyle:"black"});
var x = new Array();
var count =0;
for(var z in featArray) {
    if(featArray[z][2] == 'texture') {
        w.p1.add('statictext',undefined,featArray[z][0]);
w.p1.g = w.p1.add('group');
w.p1.g.orientation = 'row';
x[count] = w.p1.g.add('checkbox',undefined,'Save');
count++;
x[count] = w.p1.g.add('checkbox',undefined,'Strip');
count++
x[0].onClick=function(){
    alert("Checkbox 0 clicked");
x[1].onClick=function(){
    alert("Checkbox 1 clicked");
x[2].onClick=function(){
    alert("Checkbox 2 clicked");
x[3].onClick=function(){
    alert("Checkbox 3 clicked");
w.test = w.add('button',undefined,'Press to Test');
w.add('button',undefined,'Cancel');
w.test.onClick=function(){
for(var w =0;w<x.length;w++){
    alert("Checkbox " + w + " value = " +x[w].value);
w.center();
w.show();

Dynamically create Form Guide

Is it possible to dynamically create a form guide using a data model? We want to be able to control what fields are hidden and visible based on the data. Can this be done through XML?
Aditya

I need to create dynamic form guides which can be controlled by data or schema . Don't know if Form Guides can interpret XFA/XML data or even XSD.
We store information in a database, which varies by user. When a user accesses the guide, I need to create an XML/XFA, from the database, and pass it to the guide. This should determine which fields appear....
The company wants to refrain from JS which is another challenge...
- Is there a way to dynamically change the appearance of the guide based ONLY on data? For example, hide or display fields
- Similarly, is it possible to control access to certain fields base ONLY on data? For example, Read Only vs Editable.

Dynamically create Sheets

Hi,
I need to develop a discoverer report which takes a cell value from another sheet in the same workbook as its parameter. I am aware of the DrillDown functionality.
My question is
1. Can we dynamically create report sheets based on the cell value selected in the existing master sheet.
E.g I have a sheet which displays Sites, when i select one of the sites is it possible to dynamically create a new sheet to display the information regarding the selected sheet. Every Site selected in a different sheet. Site is being populated from a database column and the # of rows returned will vary often.
2. Can we develop a report which takes a cell value from another sheet as its parameter.
I create 2 sheets, the first one displaying the Sites and the second sheet displaying the relevant site information which takes selected site value from the first sheet as its parameter.
I cannot use LOV or Page Items :(
Thanks,
Ganesh

Ganesh.
I know you're aware of drill-down but:
1. Easiest - via Plus - would be that if the 2nd. sheet you need to drill down to has the same columns, totals, etc. already set up with a condition based on a parameter for that particular site. Then from the 1st. sheet you can link the parameter required for the 2nd sheet (ie: site) to see specifics about that site. In the 'ol days, I would just have a 2nd. sheet that asked the user for the site and labelled the worksheet as something like: Detail.
2. You can have a worksheet that acts as a subquery to the 1st worksheet. However only Desktop supports that. As for not having access to page -> items, that's definitely a shame in this case.
No, you cannot have a 'dynamic' worksheet other than a drill-down concept in that it's created by Disco 'on the fly'.

Dynamically create dataTable

Hi,
I need to know if it's possible to dynamically create a jsf data table and populate it with values from an ArrayList at runtime. I already have the array list but I won't know it's dimensions until runtime because the queries that fill the arrayList will be custom selected by the user. Can anyone pls help me? If you need any more information or any code I'll be glad to provide it.
Thanks.

Use value binding, or method binding, for its rows attribute value. Other attributes may serve parts of your specific needs. -- Or, depending on your use-case scenario, simple value binding for its value attribute might suffice.

Assigning a 'dynamically created sequence' value to a variable

v_seq_name := 'seq_'||loadid||v_table_name;
execute immediate 'CREATE SEQUENCE '||v_seq_name||' MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999 START WITH 1 increment by 1 cache 20';
and now after doing some operations i need to assign the current value of sequence to a number variable i tried following but not working
1) v_curr_value : = v_seq_name.currval ;
2) select v_seq_name||'.nextval' into v_curr_value from dual;
can you please suggest me how i can get the value in plsql block.

Having said that, your architecture is probably wrong if you are dynamically creating things in a procedure.
Why do you need to create them dynamically?

Passing variables from a dynamically created textinput in AS2?

Hey everyone,
I have a contact form in my flash file with name/email/message fields which a user can fill out and then click send, which passes these to a php script which then emails the information that they entered. This works fine when the text inputs are manually placed on the stage and all the information is passed to the php script and emailed to me. I am just updating it so the textinputs are created via AS2 so that I can style them more easily etc. This is fine however when created via script they no longer get passed to my php file. I am creating the textinput using the following code (which works fine):
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.bold = false;
my_fmt.font = "Arial";
my_fmt.color = inputcol;
contact_form.createTextField("contact_name", getNextHighestDepth(),112.6, 27, 174, 20);
contact_form.contact_name.wordWrap = true;
contact_form.contact_name.multiline = false;
contact_form.contact_name.border = true;
contact_form.contact_name.borderColor = inputcol;
contact_form.contact_name.type = "input";
contact_form.contact_name.setNewTextFormat(my_fmt);
contact_form.contact_name.text = "";
FYI I am creating this outside the movieclip containing the form (called contact_form) and then adding it into that mc specifically because I thought this may be necessary as doing it within the mc itself (using this.createTextField....) didn't work, however both seem to have the same effect.
I am then doing various checks on the input box contents (to make sure it's not empty etc), this also works fine and gives me the relevant error if it is empty so it's accessing it correctly. I then use the following code to submit the variables and check_status checks the success/failure of the php script and alerts the user accordingly:
loadVariables("http://www.makeaportfolio.com/send_email.php?flashmo=" + random(1000), this, "POST");
message_status.text = "sending....";
var interval_id = setInterval(check_status, 400);
This works fine however does not pick up the value of the dynamically created text input (however does pick up all the text inputs that are manually added to the stage). I am rather confused as to why it's not picking this up and am not sure how I set it to do so, i would be immensely grateful if someone could point me in the right direction?
Thanks so much for your help as ever,
Dave

Hi kglad,
I'm sorry but i still don't understand what you mean? They are all text inputs which are defined in AS2 (you can see the code in my first post), the values (inputtext.text) are surely set by the user when they enter information into the input boxes. Accessing these works fine within my flash file, they just don't get passed to my php file. I got round this by manually creating duplicate textinputs on the stage for each dynamically created textinput which are all hidden, then assigning the values of the dynamically created inputs to the manually created inputs before loading the php file. This works fine as it picks up the manually placed inputs as local. I assume it's something to do with the scope of the dynamically created inputs but I cannot work out how you would ensure they would be picked up as even when you explicitly create them within the relevant mc it doesn't pick them up. As I say i've managed to get it working in a rather convoluted way which is good but would be most interested to understand why the other method doesn't work.
Thanks so much for your help,
Dave

Is it possible to create a variable...

We're working in FM8, is it possible to create a variable (just like you would with a modification date, time) that has the modifier's name or initials? For a specific project, I want to be able to track who's working on which section(s) that way I can hold that person accountable for that particular document.

... is it possible to create a variable (just like you would with a modification date, time) ...
The examples you give are System Variables, so I'm presuming you want the system to supply this info, and all that it may have is the user's login ID, which may or may not have anything to do with their initials or name. And even this presumes that later versions of Frame can pick this up, which I doubt. I don't see any new constructs for SysVars in FM9 that would be helpful.
And it would have to be the UID of who opened the file, because who owns the file is often the original file creator, regardless of later updates (and it might even be who created the template file).
... that has the modifier's name or initials?
You can of course create an ordinary User Variable, but then you need to get the writers to set it, or overlay a script that forces it.
