Line and path directions

I am looking to discuss what direction is which in cerent 0c48s on different pm registers

It does look as though most of the requested functionality is already in the PL/SQL edit windows (current line and column position, insert/overwrite).
I would suggest that this gets added to not just SQL Worksheet windows, but all windows that allow editing of code - such as SQL tab of objects. Also, while the insert/overwrite isn't applicable, it would be good to have the current line and column position on view windows, such as the View PL/SQL.
The other functionality requested seems to be related to the SQL Worksheet and the fact that server errors are relative to statement lines, rather than window lines.
To keep a current statement line position would presumably require more active parsing of the contents of the SQL Worksheet than we do at the moment (ie as each character is typed, the SQL Worksheet needs to know which statement it is in, to determine the current line within the statement).
As the only time where SQL Developer is telling us a specific line and column position it is when it is reporting an error (thanks for adding that!), it would be simpler and almost as useful, to just have the cursor jump to the statement line and column where the error was reported.

  • Is there a DIRECT link between SD schedule lines and delivery lines?

    Is there a direct link (db table) between schedule lines on a sales order (VBEP) and the delivery lines (LIPS)? 
    Is there a function module to retrieve the data?
    Example-
    One order line with 3 schedule lines.
    Each schedule line is for 2 units (total of 6 units).
    Three deliveries made.  1st is for 2 units, 2nd is for 1 unit (backorder), 3rd is for 3 units.
    You can use document flow (table VBFA) or examine the SD document in the delivery line (LIPS) and link the delivery line to the order line.  The schedule line already references the order line.
    I am using math to decrement the schedule lines used and make the link between VBEP and LIPS.  It works fine.  I need four records back....
    1st schedule line for 2 units uses delivery 123
    2nd schedule line for 1 unit (partial) uses delivery 124
    2nd schedule line for 1 unit (partial) uses delivery 125
    3rd schedule line for 2 units uses delivery 125
    Like I said, it works. Just wondering if I missed a more direct link.

    As far as Db link is concern , I don’t remember exactly , but 3 years before I had written a report which see Sales order schedule lines and devilry note lines against sales order.  If you see process wise…. when ever you create PO ( production order you assign some qty using 101 movement type .. and against production order you also give sales order . When you do delivery ( run seclude run ) it delivers against that material number , its movement is 601 ...
    but I remember there’s a link between these tables, VBAP,VBFA AND VBEP , LIPS ...  against every sales order you can see sales invoice ( VBRP,VBRK) and you can also see your delivery note number in document flow .
    I hope this’ll give you some guide line, as right now I can not tell you the exact business process but I remember I written a report in SD 4 years before , in which they required Delivery against production order and sales order ... One more thing you also have production order reference on delivery item number. ( field :Empst ) . I think in my project they were maintaining this field .
    Thanks

  • How do I read from a text file that is longer than 65536 lines and write the data to an Excel spreadshee​t and have the data write to a new column once the 65536 cells are filled in a column?

    I have data that is in basic generic text file format that needs to be converted into Excel spreadsheet format.  The data is much longer than 65536 lines, and in my code I haven't been able to figure out how to carry over the data into the next column.  Currently the conversion is done manually and generates an Excel file that has a total of 30-40 full columns of data.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Darrick 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    No need to use nested For loops. No need for any loop anyway. You just have to use a reshape array function. The picture below shows how to proceed.
    However, there may be an issue if your element number is not a multiple of the number of columns : zero value elements will be added at the end of the last column in the generated 2D array. Now the issue depends on the way you intend store the data in the Excel spreadsheet : you could convert the data as strings, replace the last zero values with empty strings, and write the whole 2D array to a file (with the .xls extension ) using the write to spreadsheet function. Only one (minimal) problem : define the number of decimal digits to be used;
    or you could write the numeric array directly to a true Excel spreadsheet, using either the NI report generation tools or ActiveX commands, then replace the last elements with empty strings.
    We need more input from you to decide how to solve these last questions.

  • Reverse path direction in Illustrator CS5

    I have started to use Illustrator CS5 for outline drawing this year. I purchased the license time ago, but I always preferred to use FreeHand for outline drawing (I design lettering and typefaces).
    Now that FreeHand is unfortunately become a bit too obsolete for the new operating systems architectures, I have familiarized myself with Illustrator and was going decently, but I have been unable to find a solution to this problem yet:
    Whenever I need to reverse the direction of a path (for various reasons), I can’t seem to find a way to do so, unless of course it’s a composed path (from two closed paths). I need to perform this operation. At work, I use InDesign CS6 and I have seen Adobe has introduced it in its palette, but I can’t find it in Illustrator CS5 or CS6.
    Many thanks in advance to all those who could help me…

    You can temporarily make the simple path into a Compound Path (same thing as a FreeHand Composite Path) and then the reverse direction buttons in the Attributes palette will work. But like most everything in Illustrator, it's needlessly cumbersome:
    Select the single path (Object>Compound Path>Make).
    Select a portion of it with the white pointer. (Deselect, then click a segment or an anchor; don't altClick it to select the whole path, because Illustrator doesn't know the difference between a path's being selected as an object, as opposed to merely having all its anchors selected.)
    Click the Reverse Direction button in the Attributes palette.
    Deselect. Then select the whole path (sigh).
    Object>Compound Path>Release.
    Ridiculous, isn't it?
    The scripting object model provides for a path direction setting (polarity), but interface doesn't provide access to it on normal paths. This simple script will reverse the polarity of currently selected paths:
    //Begin Script
    for(i=0;i<activeDocument.selection.length;i++){
    if(selection[i].polarity==PolarityValues.POSITIVE){
      selection[i].polarity=PolarityValues.NEGATIVE;
    }else{
      selection[i].polarity=PolarityValues.POSITIVE;
    //EndScript
    Of course, while drawing glyphs, you'll soon run into the lack of other FreeHand no-nonsense features, such as extend/retract individual handles. And there's nothing you can do about the lack of Connector Points which ensure tangency between straight and curved segments.
    What font program are you using? FreeHand's progenitor, Fontographer, from which its path drawing interface was derived (and which pre-dated Illustrator), is now owned and sold by FontLab. I would (and do) use that.

  • I want to *use* very long file and path names!

    This is really a plea to Microsoft...
    There are several threads about copying or deleting files where the path and/or file name is too long.
    Most have explanations of why this problem occurs.  (depending on Windows version and application, the total length [fully qualified file name; i.e. C:\this-dir\that-dir\somefile.xyz] is limited to a maximum of 260 or fewer characters).  This limit
    But I *WANT* to be able to use very long file names and paths!
    I can understand Microsoft keeping this limit - even while allowing UNICODE paths and file names up to 32k characters - because many existing tools will be unable to handle the longer names.  This would probably yield a lot of questions/flames about
    them "breaking the software I've used for years."
    But it would be possible to have a system setting to optionally allow the long names.  Since I'd have to manually set it, I'd know I'm potentially breaking existing software.
    In my case, I'm backing up various file directories where some files are very long.  With the server-side additional paths (e.g., client-name\project-name\backup-date\...") I occasionally hit files that can't be copied.  Renaming is not suitable;
    sometimes names have to match other file names.
    I can zip them, create iso files, use a backup program that creates a blob, put them in a source-control system, etc - but I really don't *want* to do that; it's very convenient to have a direct copy of the directories.  Each of these 'solutions' either
    requires extra work (which could be scripted, so ok...) or doesn't work with the work-flow for some reason.
    Microsoft, *please* fix this in Windows 8!  (if not before...)   This limit has existed for far too long!
    And readers - please don't just repeat what's in the other threads (rename/use subst/map directory/etc) or flame without useful information.  Thanks!

  • No Phone Line and Broadband Speed at 0.2 - Not hap...

    Afternoon,
    I ordered the phone, TV, and Broadband with an activation date of the 5th December. I then received a text message to advise that a phone line engineer will visit between 1pm-6pm, I booked half a day off work but no one got in touch.
    At about 7pm I checked my phone line and the line was dead.
    I then phoned through to see what was happening and the customer service kept putting me through to the wrong teams and from my mobile I was on the phone for just over an hour.
    I am not happy that I had to make this phone call from my mobile when the line was meant to be sorted. After speaking to the delivery team, he advised me that an engineer did come but didn't need to come into the property and the phone line should be working.
    NO communication about this on the day and after checking this with the engineer he advise he would raise a fault after we went through some tests.
    we are now Tuesday the 11th and I have not heard back.
    I assume from the fault on the line I am only getting 0.2 download speed on my Internet and the broadband line keep disconnecting and reconnecting again.
    As mentioned before being a new BT customer my experience has not been very good at the moment and I hope you can put this right.

    It does sound like there is one wire disconnected somewhere, as broadband will just about work under those conditions.

  • New phone line and broadband

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help me.
    I am due to move into a flat on the 4th of June, at the moment the flat does not have a phoneline though i checked on the BT website and at least one of the others do have one.
    I would like to order a BT line installation with BT option 3 broadband, someone told me that it will cost £50 if i order both of these at the same time, however i can't find on the website link where to do it, the site just assumes i already have a phone line installed, Can someone point me in the right direction?

  • Mac Pro 6,1 STILL having issues with Open CL (4K scaling and SpeedGrade direct link grades)

    I've seen the staff responses to the issues of the new Mac Pro GPU saying that 10.9.4 fixes everything. For me, it has fixed my export issues, so I'm glad. I'm no longer getting lines and artifacts on my renders.
    That's great.
    However, I'm still having several issues, and they seem to be linked to Adobe and Open CL.
    Here's a video that shows what's going on:
    mac pro issues july 7 - YouTube
    Issue #1
    Like most of you probably, I'm doing 1080p exports of most things I'm working on. The first project shows a 1080p timeline with a mix of 4k, 5k, and 720p footage. Because zooming in so much on a 720p file in a 4k timeline looks so crappy, I'm doing 1080p timelines and scaling everything to the size it needs to be. I started in a 4k timeline then switched to 1080p because the 720p footage looked so terrible. However, in the 4k timeline, I didn't have any of the issues I'm showing in this first part of the video.
    When I switched to the 1080p timeline, I discovered a weird quirk: When I resize the 4k (or 5k) footage to the size it needs to be (which varies based on the frame I want), it goes back to the 100% view when I'm scrubbing through it. When I pause, the size of the video goes back to the way I set it. I show this in the video. Then I show what was my working solution for the time being: "scale to frame size", which brings all the videos to the size of the sequence frame size and works fine. Later, I turn off OpenCL in premiere and when I scrub through the video, it doesn't zoom back in or only stay at the size I set when stopped. For some reason all of these issues only happen at 50% scale or smaller. It doesn't happen at, say, 60%.
    I've tested this with raw R3D files and other 4K (or 5K) clips (even clips exported from After Effects) and the same thing happens. It doesn't seem to happen with 2.5k footage or 1080p footage.
    Issue #2
    This is the second project you'll see in the video.
    After grading in speedgrade (through direct link) I open my project back up in premiere and start playing it back. The video plays back with delays and frame drops. Now normally, this would be expected. But this is 1080p pro res footage, and this is just an effect added, and the yellow bar appears indicating that open CL should be accelerating the playback and it should do so smoothly.
    Maybe I was just wrong in assuming that a simple grade from speedgrade would be able to playback smoothly. I turn off the grade, and it plays normally.
    But then, when I turn off open cl and leave the grade on, the video plays back without ANY issues.
    So to me, it seems I'm still having issues with Open CL and adobe. I've found fixes that make it work temporarily, I don't need that kind of answer. However, I would like this to work. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Something I need to do to get this to work?
    Here are my specs:
    Mac Pro 6,1 (Late 2013)
    3 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon E5
    64 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 ECC
    AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB (x2)
    OSX 10.9.4
    Firmware: 2.20f18
    What you're seeing is latest version of Premiere (CC 2014, v8.0.0 [169] Build)
    Everything here is ProRes 422, running from a Promise Pegasus2 R4 RAID (drives: 4x Seagate Desktop HDD 4 TB SATA 6Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive ST4000DM000) (that's thunderbolt 2).
    I've done everything: I've restarted my computer hundreds of times, I've reset NVRAM and PRAM and done power cycles.
    This isn't just some issue that started with 10.9.3 of OSX, the 4k issues happened when I first switched to a 1080p sequence back in February (2014) or so, which means it was an issue even with 10.9.2 and the previous firmware release.
    I've reported this issue to adobe.

    That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
    Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots  and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • Lines and title flashing across the program monitor and in final export

    I'm seeing very thin lines flashing across the program monitor when playing a complex sequence with 7 video tracks. They draw at various angles and span the entire screen. There can be one or more showing at any time. They are colored and each line appears to be only one color, but different lines can be different colors. Some lines are solid, others are dashed. There is also a ghosty-white representation of one of my titles flashing around the screen for only a frame or two, then it flashes somewhere else.
    Sequences and Tracks:
    Base Sequence: AVCHD with disolves and color correction
    Next Sequence Layer: Base Sequence placed on tracks 1 and 2. Motion is applied to both tracks. LInearWipe and Opacity are applied to Track 2.
    (This creates an image in the center of the screen with a reflection.)
    Next Sequence Layer (1st track of the final 7): Animates Basic3D and Motion (position, scaling)
    2nd, 3rd and 4th of the seven are just like the1st. So there are 4 video screens flying around with reflections and perspective. Kind of like the iTunes album art widget - screen flies in, goes center stage, then flies back.
    Layers 5 to 7 are titles. They are also nested sequences having reflections and Basic3D, but their positions are not animated.
    My system:
    Phenom II x6 1055T
    8 Gb DDR3 1333
    3 Drives 7200 rpm (one program, one preview/conforming, one video)
    nVidia GeForce GTX 260 (3 fans attached)
    3 Case fans plus the side is open - running very cool
    MSI 890GXM-G65 Mobo
    My Project:
    Originated as a CS4 project, opened with CS5 and converted (did not import). Fixed all the title screwups, missing fonts, graphics, hooked up the off-line media etc etc. There are a couple of 1.5 hour nested AVCHD multi-camera sequences which look and play great. Then there are 2 of these monster sequences which are actually used as DVD menus and are about 44 seconds each. When I render these 7 layer menu sequences and play them back, these lines start flashing across the screen.
    Of course the GTX 260 has the GPU unlocked and that works great for the 1.5 hour programs. But if I attempt to render the 44 second monsters Premier stops responding and I have to EndTask it (all CPUs drop to idle while not responding). These monster sequences might test the power of the Quadro CX. So when I work with the menu sequences, I set Premiere to use software GPU and not MPE. Then I can render (2 hours render time to preview 44 seconds with six cores at near 100%). So it does render, slowly.
    I'm exporting an mpeg2 file now and will let you know if the lines show up in the final rendering. I can see the lines showing up on the MediaEncoder's small preview screen as it renders. Doesn't give me comfort.
    OK worst case scenario. The lines ARE in the final mpeg2 file. Makes the file unusable garbage...
    Is anyone else seeing flashing lines and titles?
    Here's a link to a still from the export to illustrate the artifacts.(face and name were blanked out by me)

    Thanks

    The crop workaround was successful for removing the lines - worked great. There was the issue of the ghost text which you can see in the screenshot link provided above. This was not removed by crop. Crop removed the lines, but not the ghost. Thankfully, the 4 point garbage mask did work on the ghost and I was able to eliminate it. I had to apply the garbage mask on the sequence where Basic3D was applied not its parent sequence where VerticalFlip was used. The most important thing is that I've successfully migrated this CS4 project to CS5 and can now take advantage of 64bit processing (more RAM) to tame the beast. I'm using this sequence as a menu for a series of DVDs so my time expended will pay me back again and again.
    The asset generating the ghost was built like this...
    In the titler: Text was placed over a logo (.tiff file for logo and it was scaled and moved)
    Base Sequence: Title was brought to two, stacked tracks. VerticalFlip, and LinearWipe were applied to one which was then moved to look like a reflection of the other
    Next Sequence: Layed the Base Sequence down. Applied Basic 3D and moved it's XY position. (This is where I applied the GarbageMask to remove the ghost)
    I tried separating the logo from the text thinking that the logo feature of the titler might be the problem. So I used a separate video track and pulled in the .tiff file directly. It didn't eliminate the ghost. Applying the GarbageMask to the base sequence also didn't help. It was only after Basic3D was applied that the ghost would appear. And since I have Basic3D applied to other reflected text-only layers which do not exhibit the ghost artifact, the bug has something to do with the text/graphic combination with VerticalFlip and Basic3D.
    To top it all off, I can no longer recreate the problem. I've turned off the garbage mask and it's not showing up. While I was testing, the ghost was easy to recreate, but now I can't do it. So I don't appear to be able to drill down deeper. Perhaps it will come back at some point and I can test it further and update this thread.

  • Java SDK 1.4.2_07 Install On Windows98SE and PATH Variable

    I've recently dowloaded and installed the JAVA SKD 1.4.2_07 with NetBeans 4.0 bundle. onto my Windows98SE system. Everything installed fine, but my problem is with setting the PATH variable. I've tried several different methods for setting the Path in the autoexec.bat file. I've tried the instructions outlined in the documentation by running sysedit and then modifying the autoexec.bat file, I've tried using the DOS command to edit the file, and even used Window's -> Program Files -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Tools-> System Configuration utility. My primary problem is that whenever I reboot or run the c:\autoexec.bat, I see an error that says "Too many parameters". Furthermore when I run the 'path' statement from the DOS prompt, the added variable is not there.
    My current autoexec.bat file has only one line in the path, so I even tried removing this line and putting only the path for the JDK into the autoexec.bat.. Whenever I run the Javac to compile my source code, I get a 'bad command or filename' warning. However, If I move the .java source file to the j2sdk1.4.2_07\bin directory and run Javac it will compile.
    Can anyone assist me with this problem.? I've read several posts where people are having problems compiling their .Java files on a Windows platform, but can compile them on other platforms.
    Thanks in advance.

    My path variable is still not being set! Here is the content of my autoexec.bat located on the root directory of C:\
    rem - By Groove Setup
    PATH=%PATH%;"C:\Program Files\Groove Networks\Groove\Bin"
    PATH=%PATH%;C:\PROGRAM FILES\J2SDK1.4.2_07\BIN
    /code]
    When I type 'path' at the MSDOS C:\ prompt, I receive the following in the get the following:C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;\C:\PROGRAM FILES\GROOVE NETWORKS\GROOVE\BIN
    As an aside, I noticed that when I perform a search of the my hard drive (c:\), I find two autoexec.bat files. One at the root, and the other in C:\Windows\Command\EBD.
    I believe the instructions stated to modify the autoexec.bat at the root directory.
    TIA for any assistance. This is really becoming a nusance and taking up quite a bit of my time trying to resolve this problem.

  • Safety of MS Sharing on LAN over TCP/IP via NetBIOS and/or Direct SMB

    Shalini Sampath Kumar at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/ suggested I post this question over
    here:
    What is the safest recommended way to set up MS File and Printer Sharing on a LAN with both Windows 7 Pro and XP Pro machines?  Does "Direct hosting of SMB over TCP/IP," help?  What about setting a "Scope ID" (or did that go out
    with Windows NT)?
    Background:  I've been trained to be paranoid about NetBIOS over TCP/IP.  Right now I have only XP Pro machines on my peer-to-peer workgroup LAN (behind a NAT router and with Simple File Sharing turned off), on which File and Printer Sharing has been
    unbound from TCP/IP and bound to NetBEUI instead, so I feel fairly safe.  Port scanning by ShieldsUp doesn't see any ports through the router, open or closed -- in other words, it appears to be "stealthed," for what that's worth.  With
    NetBIOS disabled on all computers inside the LAN, however, can I perform a valid test of what will happen when File and Printer Sharing is re-bound to TCP/IP?
    My New Problem:  I'm planning to add Window 7 Pro machines, for which NetBEUI isn't an option, and then to transition entirely to Win7 before XP goes off extended support in April.  I will still use a peer-to-peer architecture with password-protected
    sharing turned on (no HomeGroup).  It appears that I can still get rid of NetBIOS (and WINS) in favor of "Direct hosting of SMB over TCP/IP," which sounds safer.  Apparently then only port 445 will be vulnerable instead of ports 137-139. 
    In any case I want to do everything I can to protect my file-sharing port(s) from the Internet (e.g., from anyone who might break into my LAN either by making a wireless connection or by hacking the router itself).  Can anybody give a clear set of steps
    to change sharing from NetBIOS (which I would like to disable entirely) to direct hosting of SMB and to verify that I'm protected as well as possible?
    I will have to completely revamp the network-file-sharing configuration of my XP machines as soon as the first Win7 machine goes on line (and possibly tweak the configuration of Win7 as well), perhaps as early as this week. I want to do this in the way that
    maximizes security to the extent possible.  Thanks in advance more details and guidance on this topic! -- JCW2
    P.S. -- These computers are all laptops and will be used away from my home LAN -- another reason for paranoia about File and Printer Sharing.  I realize that Windows 7 provides an easy way to disable F&PS by selecting any new network location as
    "public," but XP does not (as far as I know).  Fixing that will take more effort and be harder to remember... -- JCW2

    Removing the NetBIOS transport has several advantages compared to NetBIOS over TCP, you can find detailed infromation in the following KB

    Hi again -- I think I'm slowly catching up with you.  Following from my previous message...
    Somebody on another forum mentioned creating "Hosts" files on each computer to substitute for the DNS server that I don't have on my workgroup.  This is intriguing if I can figure out how to set it up.  (I've heard it said that taking control of
    your "Hosts" file is a good safety precaution anyhow, since it is a frequent target of hackers trying to divert legitimate Web requests to their own malicious sites.)  Does anybody have tips and/or references that would help me accomplish the name resolution
    there?
    Finally, what functionality do I really lose by going the Direct-Hosting-of-SMB-with-Hosts-file (or drive mapping) route as opposed to using NetBIOS over TCP/IP?  Granted, any new machine added to the network would also have to be added to all the "Hosts"
    files (or mapped to a new drive letter) on each machine; but given that I already have to add it to the MAC filter and assign it a DHCP reservation in my router, this isn't a heavy burden for something that doesn't happen often.  Would everything then
    work the same as if NetBIOS were providing the name resolution?
    One missing piece that I see so far -- it's not obvious how this same trick would apply to printer sharing (although I'm not using that feature right now anyhow).  Could this be handled seamlessly through the "Hosts" file as well?
    Thanks and Best Regards to All -- JCW2

  • Need help animating line art/paths

    Help please...
    I am trying to animate a line, to have it tween/morph between a line and a question mark and then back to a line. I've drawn my two shapes in Illustrator as line art (as paths, not as closed shapes), but I'm not seeing the paths as a mask when I paste them into my Solid Layer. The parts of my drawing that have closed shapes come in and form a mask, but not the individual lines/paths, not matter how thick I make them. I can see there is a path in AE if I click on the shape, but it does not come up as a masked area.
    Is there a better way to do this, than to animate a mask? Animating masks seems to be the consensus how to do a lot of animation, but I'm stuck trying to get my line appear as part of my mask.
    Happy to try another way; I have yet to see a tutorial that does what I'm trying to do, can't be a reveal, since the final shape needs to morph a few times. I am sure this is do-able (and probably not that hard!), but I can't figure it out; in Flash I would just tween between the two shapes, but not seeing how to do that effect in AE.
    Thank you!

    hi, i took some screengrabs also, so that you can perhaps see what i might be doing wrong...i inlcuded the original shape, from Illustrator, as well as what happens when I paste in AE. for my shape, blends won't work from Illustrator, I need the line to move in a certain way that Illustrator won't do using that feature. thanks very much .

  • Mysterious lines and gradient when printing from Illustrator or pdf on PC and MAC

    First of all I have to admit I'm not a big computer brainiac but this issue keeps on reoccurring no matter what computer I use. When creating files/layouts in Illustrator and either saving them to pdf and then printing or printing directly from Illustrator either from a PC or from Mac (I use both) the print outs come out with mysterious lines and gradient not matter what colour is used. The lines occur on solid colour prints, when gradient or transparency are not used and when they are used as well. Any ideas suggestions how to make them go away?

    Monica,
    Here's an image of a print out that was meant to be a solid black colour. This happens with other colours as well not just with black.
