Listtoarray with no value between delimiter

Reading lines in a text file,
Listing a text file , with value between ;
sometime , there is no data between 2 ; which I need to know.
In that case, (when there is no value between the delimiter) my array have a different length (smaller)
Then the data order is not good.
As I want to save in a DataBase, I do not know what data in what field number ?
Thanks for any help,
Pierre.

In ColdFusion 9, the third argument of the function listToArray, includeEmptyFields, instructs ColdFusion whether or not to include blank list elements. A demo follows:
<cfset list = "a;b;;c;;;d">

<cfset array1 = listToArray(list,";",true)>
<cfdump var="#array1#" label="Include blank list elements">
<br>

<cfset array2 = listToArray(list,";",false)>
<cfdump var="#array2#" label="Exclude blank list elements">

Find and replace value in Delimited String

Hi All,
I have a requirement, where i need to find and replace values in delimited string.
For example, the string is "GL~1001~157747~FEB-13~CREDIT~A~N~USD~NULL~". The 4th column gives month and year. I need to replace it with previous month name. For example: "GL~1001~157747~JAN-13~CREDIT~A~N~USD~NULL~". I need to do same for last 12 months.
I thought of first devide the values and store it in variable and then after replacing it with required value, join it back.
I just wanted to know if there is any better way to do it?

for example (Assumption: the abbreviated month is the first occurance of 3 consecutive alphabetic charachters)
with testdata as (
select 'GL~1001~157747~FEB-13~CREDIT~A~N~USD~NULL~' str from dual
select
str
,regexp_substr(str, '[[:alpha:]]{3}') part
,to_date('01'||regexp_substr(str, '[[:alpha:]]{3}')||'2013', 'DDMONYYYY') part_date
,replace (str
         ,regexp_substr(str, '[[:alpha:]]{3}')
         ,to_char(add_months(to_date('01'||regexp_substr(str, '[[:alpha:]]{3}')||'2013', 'DDMONYYYY'),-1),'MON')
) res

How to call a dialog program with return value in another dialog program

Dear All,
How can I call a dialog program with return value from another dialog program?
Regards,
Alok.

Hi Alok,
You can you SET/GET parameters to do this.
This is some information about this.
To fill the input fields of a called transaction with data from the calling program, you can use the SPA/GPA technique. SPA/GPA parameters are values that the system stores in the global, user-specific SAP memory. SAP memory allows you to pass values between programs. A user can access the values stored in the SAP memory during one terminal session for all parallel sessions. Each SPA/GPA parameter is identified by a 20-character code. You can maintain them in the Repository Browser in the ABAP Workbench. The values in SPA/GPA parameters are user-specific.
ABAP programs can access the parameters using the SET PARAMETER and GET PARAMETERstatements.
To fill one, use:
SET PARAMETER ID pid FIELD f.
This statement saves the contents of field f under the ID pid in the SAP memory. The ID pid can be up to 20 characters long. If there was already a value stored under pid, this statement overwrites it. If you double-click pid in the ABAP Editor, parameters that do not exist can be created as a Repository object.
To read an SPA/GPA parameter, use:
GET PARAMETER ID pid FIELD f.
This statement places the value stored under the pid ID into the variable f. If the system does not find any value for pid in the SAP memory, sy-subrc is set to 4. Otherwise, it sets the value to 0.

In BADi , How to pass the values between two Method

Hi Experts,
We have two methods in BADis. How to pass the value between two Methods. Can you guys explain me out with one example...
Thanks & Regards,
Sivakumar S

Hi Sivakumar!
Create a function group.
Define global data (there is a similiar menu point to jump to the top include).
Create one or two function modules, with which you can read and write the global data.
In your BADI methods you can access the global data with help of your function modules. It will stay in memory through the whole transaction.

when the above xml file is read and populated into ITAB, for element vendorname-2 which has a space in first position , that space is ignored.
This is being used for a FB01 posting and vendor is paid based on Name1+Name2 printed on cheque and due to the space ignoring problem, the vendor name is displayed wrongly thus causing problems.
I appreciate if someone could guide me thru and help me in solving this problem.
How to preserve the leading or trailing space.
g_selementvalue = g_childnode->get_value( ).
when i check g_selementvalue, space is ignored.
i will be greateful if someone could guide me through.

Simha

mean ? I think it means, that the Shuttle somehow sets itself to null ?! but i dont understand why...
There is no computation or anything that deletes the shuttle, the page is quite small, there is not much more than the shuttle and the validations and computations to give default value and transforming the shuttle items into a collection to continue working with the IDs.
I dont check whats the problem

Difference in value Between BW and R/3

Hi,
We are in the process of validating reports .We have observed difference in value for credit and debit amount fields in BW and for the same data is coming from standard data source 0EN_JVA_2 (Joint venture: Actual line item using delta extraction) we have done full data load. In the data source the data coming from a single field and that is spited based on debit/credit indicator in R/3.
I need your valuable input on where the problem is for the difference of value between BW and R/3.
Regards
Deva

Hi,
Is there any filterations in the IP?
Any data packet deletion activity in the start rountine?
Any update rule for the key figure is having routine with modifiying the value?
Kindly check.
In case if you are seeing number of records, always aggregation happens.
If the difference is in terms of quantity of the key figure values, kindly check the above three.
Kindly come to us so that we can suggest
Hope this helps

Pass values between pages

Hello experts!
I am trying to pass value between two pages without page submit.
I set item value from first page to session state by dynamic action. Then I am trying to pass this value to second page, I use button which redirects to second page and sets item value on second page with value from first page.
But approach this does not woks as I expected. The value from the first page is not passed to the second page when I click on button. Value is passed to the second page only if I:
1. set some value to item on first page (e.g. XX);
2. click on button which redirects to the second page;
3. get back to first page;
4. set some new value to the item (e.g. YY);
5. click on button;
6. then the first value from session state is passed to sthe econd page (value XX)
Could anybody tell me where I make a mistake, or what is wrong in my solution?

<input type="button" value="Button1"onclick="apex.navigation.redirect('f?p=9027:3:11397156385140::NO:RP,3:P3_ITEM1:');" id="P2_BUTTON1" />No value substituted for <tt>&P2_ITEM1.</tt> in the URL.
Why do you want to navigate between these pages without a page submit? As APEX has to render page 3 anyway, why not submit and branch?

Is it possible to link values between two numbers pages in icloud ?

I want to work with different number pages (not sheets) and link values between them.
The main reason is that I want a group of people to have access to one numbers document and a second group of people to get access to another document that has values extracted from the first document.
Thanks,

Thanks for the tip, not only will this help on the few pages I needed, I can utilize this feature for subsequent catalogs and other info that used to be a copy/paste type function.
I ended up using this feature with a simple find/replace to change the page numbers.

Sharing complex substitution variable values between ASO and BSO databases

We have ASO and BSO Essbase database member names with spaces in, and need to store some of these member names in substitution variables. However, this has to be done differently for ASO and BSO, due to calc script syntax requiring double quotes and MDX requiring square brackets. For example:
ASO:
&CurWeek value = Week 1
MDX: [&CurWeek]
BSO:
&CurWeek value = "Week 1"
Calc Script: &CurWeek
As a result, the substitution variables cannot be shared between the ASO and BSO cubes, since the BSO variable value requires double quotes due to the space in the member name.
Is there a way to get the above to work with both ASO and BSO? Can the double quotes be escaped in calc script syntax? Or can the double quotes be removed in the MDX formula?

Hi TimG,
Apologies for such a late reponse to this, genuinely haven't had a spare second to reply until now!
Yes, I suspect a complex alias name may be the best solution here, and to remove the spaces from the actual member names.
I was not aware of the latter part at all. My colleague has confirmed as much on this too - DBAG 11.1.2.1 pp117 & 118:
"Note: If a substitution variable value is numeric or a member name starting with a
numeral or containing the special characters referred to above is to be used both
in MDX and non-MDX situations, create two substitution variables, one without
the value enclosed in quotation marks and one with the value in quotation marks."
"To ensure that a new substitution variable value is available in formulas, partition definitions,
and security filters, stop and restart the application. All other uses of substitution variables are
dynamically resolved when used."
This last paragraph is the most concerning since we were planning to be able to update substitution variables values and then access the new values from calc scripts and formulae instantaneously. This quirk is unexpected and a little inconvenient. We may have to look at scheduling a change of substitution variable value overnight, followed by a stop/start of the app ready for the next day, and to work around needing to access changed values instantly.

Flat File with unequal spacing as delimiter

I am trying to import multiple flat files with unequal spacing as delimiter in sql server using SSIS 2012, however when I import the file, all the data in the file is imported into only one column. None of the predefined delimiters in SSIS works with the
way the flat file was configured. I read that I can use the script component in SSIS 2012 to create the additional columns and somehow manipulate the file using the spacing to assign a new delimiter, such as a common, but I can't find any resources on it.
Anyone have any experience/knowledge of this situation can provide me with an example or some resources that can help me to solve this situation?
Example of file format:
26 SM FRIES 0 1 0 0.00 0.0
30 PEPSI 0 22 0 0.00 0.0

Looks like a fixed width file to me seeing the data posted
If you can determine the width of the columns then you can use fixed width (or ragged right) option in flat file connection manager and identify the lengths of the individual fields to get values out.
See this example

Pass values between panels in different UI files

Hi All,
Is there a way to pass values between panels belonging to User Interface files ? Or is it easier to have one .uir and different .c and .h files ?
Thanks,
Kanu

I should say that it's not possible for you to trap events from the first popup,and this depends on the basic concept of "popup panel".
When you install a popup panel, all user interaction with existing panels is excluded: all focus it aimed at the popup only, no other user interface event is generated. If you launch another popup from the first one, the second popup prevails over the first one and no event can be generated on the first panel until the second one is closed.
Handling a chain of two popup panels while looping on GetUserEvent can lead to unpredictable situation not so easy to untangle.

Rebate: Differ "Scale Base Value" between "Statistics" and "Billing Doc"

Dear SD Expert,
After I go with Transaction Code :"VOB3" (run report RV15B002), I found that "Scale Base Value" have different value between "Statistics" and "Billing Doc". And the correct value is "Billing Doc". However, the value which shows in my rebate condition now is "Statistic". Thus, my question is
How can I configure my rebate condition based on "Billing Doc" Value instead of "Statistic"? (I don't want to "Correct backlogs" anytime in changing scales based value.) Anyone please feel free in suggestion.
Thanks,

I need some help, which would be the better value between a stock 17inch macbook pro and a stock i5 27inch iMac? Using it for school, small video and picture editing. Price not a concern, I'm just looking for the better value in the computer itself. Meaning resale, upgradeability, (plan to use for at least the next three years)!

I'm saying to myself why spend the additional $500 for a slower machine?
Um...because it's portable? Because if there's a blackout you can still use it for 8 hours? Because if you travel to another country you can still do your video editing there rather than waiting to get home with all that film and photography to do it? Because it fits in a bag and doesn't require a desk? Because it can be hooked up to larger monitors for presentations in class?
I mean, Dude, it may not seem like a "slower" machine is worth $500, but it's not cheap or easy to make something that is as fast and does as much as that 17" does in something that thin and that light. There is a battery, a camera, an light sensitive keyboard, a gorgeous screen, and all the other components squeezed into that narrow and limited diameter...and you think that's not wroth $500 extra dollars because it's slower than a 27" iMac? If you love the speed and power, go 27" iMac. It's a great, great, machine. Awesomely fast, powerful and beautiful. But don't tell us "cost doesn't matter" and "resale" is what you're interested in and then complain about the 17" costing extra but being slower. You're being dishonest about what matters to you there.
If cost of the machine and its speed matters (far more than portability)--and you want the fastest and cheapest, then it's the 27" iMac. If cost doesn't matter, and you want the best resale value for when you sell the machine after three years, then it's the 17" MBP. That's just how the market is. People like speed yes, but they love portability.
Edited to add: but you might want to wait. Many are saying that the MBP might get a bump to an i5 and that would improve the speed of a 17" considerably.

OLAP on 11g and Materialised Views with Multiple Value-Based Hierarchies

Hello OLAPians
I am trying to setup Orable BIEE to report on an OLAP cube with pre-aggregated data. As OBIEE is not able to hook into the OLAP directly i have to create an SQL cubeview.
Currently i am on a 10g OLAP environment and am using the oracle sample SQL cubeview generator to create an SQLview of my cube.
The cube itself has multiple dimensions and these dimensions have multiple VALUE-based (ragged) hierarchies and dimension members can be shared across hierarchies also.
Initially i had a problem running the view generator plugin because there is a bug within it that does not finish if there are multiple value-based hierarchies present. I was able to get around this by manually editing the limitmap for the cubeview and manually creating the SQL view.
The question that i want to ask is how robust is the 11g materialised views with multiple value-based hierarchies and the sharing of dimension members across different hierarchies?
Has anyone successfully been able to create a cubeview and import it into OBIEE without the hassle of manually editing the limitmap?
A problem arises with the value-based setup whereby if the client creates a newer depth in the ragged hierarchy, i need to manually create the limitmap and the cube-view over again, and then re-map the BI Administration mappings.

The simple answer to your question,
how robust is the 11g materialised views with multiple value-based hierarchies...?is that materialized views are not supported on top of value-based hierarchies in 11g. The reason is that it is not possible to write a reasonable SQL statement that aggregates a fact over a value-based hierarchy. Such a SQL statement is necessary if we want to create a rewritable MV on top of the cube.
But I suspect this is not what you are really asking. If you are trying to set up OBIEE on top of the cube in 10g using the view generator, then you will probably want to use the "ET VIEWS" that are generated automatically in 11g. These are generated whether or not you enable materialized views on top of your cube. I am not aware of any issues with the generated value-based hierarchy view support in 11g. Members may be shared between value hierarchies and you will not need to generate or modify limit maps.

Doubt : retaining the value between the calls

hi,
Which statement would you use to declare a variable, within a Function Module/Form-routine, so as it will retain the value between the calls?"
Gaurav

Dear Gaurav,
To retain the same value outside a function module, you can define a variable with the same name as the exporting parameter in a function module. However in case of Subroutines you can pass the value by reference as any change in the formal parameters will be reflected in the actual parameters.
