Limiting what appears in an LOV

Hello Discoverer Community,
I currently have an LOV that contains 193 items. The LOV starts with the first element in this view and lists them all in descending order. The problem is most of the time you want to start from the middle of the LOV not the begining. Second problem is the table that is populated in the database side that this LOV is based on, has dates going into the future which is not needed by my warehouse. Since the product that is delivered for Discoverer does this, might it be wise to change the View that this LOV is based off of so that what I dont want in the past in future to display is limited? The downfall I can see is if the user wants to enter something that has been screened out VIA the view, they would need to hand enter it into the list of potential other values they have selected from the LOV. Are then any other issues? Is there a way to simply change the existing LOV so that when it pulls up in the interface it goes to the value that is in the middle of the list? Thanks for the input ahead of time.

Hi,
It is sometimes useful to use database contexts in a condition in the view used by the LOV. The contexts can be changed at login or by another report. Search for SYS_CONTEXT for details of how to do this. If you limit the LOV the user can enter their own values in Disco Plus and Desktop. I don't think you can do that in Disco viewer though.

  • Lost my ability to control what appears on the menu bar

    When I upgraded from 10.8 to 10.8.2, I lost my ability to control what appears in the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    For example, Time Machine no longer shows there.  When I open the system preferences and check the box that says "Show Time Machine in menu bar", the check mark appears briefly, then disappears.  It will disappear as many times as I check it.  I tried reinstalling Mountain Lion.  When system 10.8 was installed, the menu bar worked.  When I repeated the upgrade to 10.8.2, it quit working again.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.....

    Only the song/album/artist info is displayed on the "now playing" screen.
    As for lyrics, play any song to which you've added lyrics. Then press the centre button repeatedly until the lyrics appear.

  • I have what appears to be a virus on my Mac namely MAL/FAK AV-OQ how can I remove it? I have only discovered after running SOPHOS anti virus software???

    I have what appears to be a virus on my mac namely MAL/FAK AV-OQ I only discovered it after installing SOPHOS anti virus software.
    I cannot remove it automatically with this software it says it has to be done manually.
    Where do I start???
    Help req'd urgently

    That is Windows malware, and cannot affect your Mac. See:
    http://www.sophos.com/en-us/threat-center/threat-analyses/viruses-and-spyware/Ma l~FakeAV-OQ.aspx
    It may be attached to an e-mail message or could be something that was copied over from a Windows machine via flash drive or something similar. If it is attached to an e-mail message, simply delete the e-mail. (Do not let Sophos, or any other anti-virus software, quarantine the message or attachment! That can corrupt the mailbox that the message resides in.) If it isn't an e-mail message, you can let Sophos quarantine and delete the file or you can delete it yourself.

  • HT3965 I got what appears to be a reconditioned (pre-owned) iPod Touch 4 for Christmas.  How can I change the Apple ID on tis device so I can use it with my iTunes Acct and Wi-Fi network?  Thanks.

    I received what appears to be a reconditioned iPod Touch 4th for Christmas.  How do I change the Apple ID on the device to my ID so I can use my iTunes account?  Thanks for any help/

    It would probably be best to attach the iPod to a computer and restore it. This way you'll know it's wiped clean. Then, when you start up the iPod it will ask you for your Apple ID.

  • HT1925 In what appears to be a random occurrence (its happened 3 times now) itunes will stop working. I am able to open the program, log in, but once I select a movie or show to watch iTunes "stops responding" "freezes"  Help?

    In what appears to be a random occurrence (it has happened at least 3 times) iTunes will "Freeze" I have to shut down the program from the task manager. I am able to open the program, log in, and select an item to watch, once this has been done nothing happens...
    Occasionally, the movie will begin to play only without sound.
    The most recent time this occurred I literally finished a show, went back to the main screen to select another show and it froze.
    Oddly enough, I have noticed that when iTunes acts up so does my shockwave player also...
    Any suggestions? I would appreciate any input, and remember I am a novice....

    This implies that ODP.NET does NOT need to be installed on a client. However, I cannot find OraOPs9.dll on a machine with Client Release 9.2 installed. Should OraOps?.dll automatically come with a Client installation of 9.2 or higher?
    ODP.NET needs to be installed on the client. OraOps9.dll is part of ODP.NET, not the Oracle Client.
    Also, if an application is built with the 10g ODP.NET, can it be run from a machine with OraOps9.dll?
    If an application is built with 10g ODP.NET, it can be run with 9.2 ODP.NET as long as you do not use any 10g APIs. The new features in 10g ODP.NET are included in the doc and the ODP.NET FAQ for your reference.

    When I go into bookmarks and click on a site, the screen shows what appears to be a compass with a lock overlay, on a black background. At the bottom the address/url are shown. Theses cannot be opened. Other bookmarks have the black background and compass, but no lock. These can be opened by clicking on the compass. What is wrong?

    Thanks to the-edmeister and cor-el, for speed of response. I had not inadvertently moved the Bookmarks-Toolbar : I was confronted with the situation right after Firefox 9 had installed and unfolded in front of me. At first, the toolbar area looked reassuringly familiar, but when I started normal work, I discovered the lack of tabs and the only reference I could see to TABS was a tiny button inviting me to group tabs (which was unhelpful to say the least, filling up the screen with tiny unreadable windows). Sure, there were tabs forming, but they were invisible, unless I used the group button. Eventually, I was brave enough to use "reset toolbars" and the tabs came back in the way I want them, but it was a traumatic 2-3 hours out of my life. I kept on "adding a new toolbar" to see if I could make use of it; I kept giving them names, but it is impossible to see where the new tool bar is! (the toolbars don't have a little bit to grab at one end). In my opinion, Firefox should not have allowed the Tab Bar and the Bookmarks Toolbar to become caught up with each other - they have completely different functions. I don't think I would like to play around with "Make a new profile"! I was so desperate that I have already downloaded version 3.6 again, ready to install, for if I was unable to resolve the version 9 problems above.

  • I accidentally pushed the power button of my macbookpro... it restarted but doesnt open... what appears now is a flashing FOLDER logo with a QUESTION MARK on it.. can someboby help me to fix this?

    i accidentally pushed the power button of my macbookpro... it restarted but doesnt open... what appears now is a flashing FOLDER logo with a QUESTION MARK on it.. can someboby help me to fix this?

    (Assuming you don't have a firmware boot lock set)
    First easy step...
    1. Shut down the computer if it's on (hold the power button down... until it shuts off)
    2. Press the power button
    3. Immediately press AND hold the Option key ASAP
         Hold until drive option images appear in a single row across the screen. Typically most people running 10.7 or 10.8 will see 2 drive options to boot from: the main volume they usually boot from, and a recovery volume. If your main volume pops up. Use the cursor or arrow keys to highlight/select the main volume and press enter. That should boot your main volume. Let me know what you get from this point... I'll give you more as you go along.

    You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    After moving all the files, restart the computer and empty the Trash.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    This unwanted program is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Prints are darker than what appears on PC screen

    Windows Vista Business OS
    Acer laptop PC
    PSE6
    Good morning.
    I'm so hoping that someone has an easy solution to this printing issue.
    In PSE6, I've created 85 scrapbook poem pages in the following format:  300 dpi; 12 x 12 size that will be reduced to a print size of 8 x8.
    I worked all summer on this project for my 98-year young grandma who is the author of these poems.   Gram is spry and healthy, but given her age, we are both concerned that it will take a long time to remedy the problem - if the only solution to lighten is to go through each layer of all 85 pages and reset the light intensity.  As she says in jest, "time" is really not on her side.  This is our second poem book project - the first was handmade scrapbook poem pages that were printed directly from a UPS copycenter printer.
    For this second project, I printed some test copies of a couple of pages on my inkjet Lexmark printer.  Photo quality paper:  the printed copy was much darker than what appeared on the laptop PC screen - details couldn't be distinguished. Lower quality paper:  the printed copy had a faded looking print.
    I will be taking the PDF format of the pages to the UPS copycenter, again.  I've been told that the prints can be lightened, however, I'm concerned that the quality of the print will be compromised.
    Any easy solutions to resolve this problem?
    Thank you.
    Shinlee

    Any suggestions or comments about this topic?  I've been told by the UPS copy center that lightness/darkness modifications can be made from their printer; however my concern is that the print quality will be affected (i.e. lightening will cause a faded look).

  • I recently rented a movie, it downloaded successfully, but it won't play.  When I call up the movie, there is no play button, just what appears to be a stop button.  How do I access this movie, or get a refund?

    I recently rented a movie, it downloaded successfully, and it will not play.  When I call up the movie, there is no play button, just what appears to be a stop button.  How do I access this movie, or get a refund?

    As it says on the page that you posted from :
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Why it's like that I don't think that Apple have said (these are user-to-user forums). If you haven't downloaded it on your iPad then have you checked to see if you can download it on your computer's iTunes (Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option) or Apple TV ?
    If it doesn't show on either of them then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will let you download it on a different computer/device or refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com

    I have Adobe Reader X loaded on my computer. Adobe sends me automatic updates periodically. I have been told that some hackers have been sending what appears to be an Adobe update and when I select run it will load malicious software or spyware onto my computer. How would I recognize this attempt and how can I prevent it? I also have Norton protection loaded on my computer (via Comcast). I am not sure if Norton can protect me if I select run. Do you have any suggestions?

    Hi peterc,
    By default, Reader updates occur automatically via the Reader app itself, and this is the most secure way to receive updates. While you can choose to update manually (by choosing Help > Check for Updates), you may not always get critical updates as they're released. See Automatic updates | Acrobat, Reader. If you receive an email about needing to update Reader, you should ignore it, as that is where the malicious updates can come from. Just make sure you're letting the updates happen from within Reader, either automatically or manually.
    Best,
    Sara

    First try resetting your phone - hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't work restore the phone using Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.
    And if that fails it is probably a hardware failure (unless the phone is jailbroken; then that is the problem).
