Making fields blank

I want to make a NAME type field blank when a condition of my rule hides the field.

Howdy all,
We've found an undocumented behaviour change between 2008.1 and 9 that caused us major problems after our upgrade where when you try and set a Person field to blank, unless it has 'edit' writes at the moment, it'll throw an error and essentially lock the form up (that is, no actions can be taken - done/update/approve/reject). We've got a case open for it.
We skipped 2008.3 unfortunately so I'm not sure if it's the same case, but you may need to make it editable for the conditional rule to run... Interestingly, you can still set other field types as blank, it's only Person that it affects (and we have a case open for it).
Thanks,
Ant

Hi,
One very important thing we cannot make numeric field as blank is can be made initial i.e. 0.
So we have to make the field as character then we can make it blank by initializing it.
thanx.

Make Category id field blank in Describe requirement

Hi all,
When ever we are going in Describe requirement tab its giving us the last used category id in the category id field. I know its getting filled in the global_data_filled.
We want to make this field blank when we go in this tab. Also I can not do any standard code change neither in template.
Is there any BADI by means of which I can achieve this?
any help will be rewarded.
Thanks
Smita

Hello,
There is no badi for this and the product category is a very determining field for the SC. Making it blank with development will cause many bugs and unwanted side effect.
A suggestion is to create a dummy category named "?", set it at default category in user attributes and implement the badi bbp_doc_check_badi to prevent a user ordering a SC with this dummy category.

Suppress embedded field blank lines in Crystal Reports XI is not working

Hi,
We have a text box in a Crytal Reports XI report which has address information in it as follows:
These are individual fields from the database. We check the "suppress embedded field blank lines" option for the text box and preview it in the designer and the suppression works as expected in that when the unit field is blank the whole address line isn't suppressed. However when we run this report using the Report Viewer control in a VB.NET 2005 application the whole address line is suppressed when the unit field is blank.
This appears to be a bug in the suppression logic when the Report Viewer is used to view a report. While yes we can embed a formula into the address line this adds extra maintenance and confusion which is not necessary as it works as expected in the report designer.
I have seen others which are having a similiar issue and the only suggestions are to create your own suppression using formulas, etc. which is only a bandaid and is not the best solution as the suppression works as stated in the designer but not in the viewer embedded in an application. Please indicate if this is a known bug and if this issue has been addressed and fixed in a new merge module.
We are running Crystal XI 11.5.0.313 for the report designer and have deployed the needed dlls to run the reports with our application using the CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm merge module.
Thanks in advance for any assistance in resolving this issue!

Is it possible to set up a Paragraph Style leaving the Font Style field blank?

We often have to import text into InDesign from Word docs. We place the docs (Command-D, rather than copying and pasting) in order to preserve italics, bold text, etc. As it is now, we have to select all the text and set each element separately - leaving the Font Style field blank - in the Character Palette.
It would save a lot of time, if we could set up a Paragraph Style without specifying the Font Style, (leaving it blank), which overrides the formatting we are trying to preserve. Is this possible?

The answer is "kind of". You can create the Paragraph Style you want to apply and select the paragraphs you want to apply it to - then right-click on the Paragraph Style and choose 'Apply "Body". Clear Character Styles.'
It is possible to do this as a Character Style if you click outside of a text area and create a new style. I do it all of the time as I import lots of Word documents to write to ePub (you have to define all of the styles to ensure the document looks right). Since the documents come in with small caps, bold, italics, different font sizes but the same font throughout.
So I have a style based on None with blank Font Size and Font Style which I apply to the whole document. If there is anything in these boxes you can just erase it by backspacing over the text.

Requirement of keeping the Path field BLANK of HTTP_AAE Channel in NW PO 7.31

Hi ,
We are in a phase of migrating Interfaces from PI 7.1 to PO 7.31(Java Only).
For one of the Interface in PI 7.1 there is a RFC Destination for vendor communication through HTTPS connectivity :
Target-Host: IP Address
Post: value
Path Prefix: Blank
During migration requirement is to keep the Path field BLANK of the Communication Channel,however since PO has mandatory path field a "/" is been provided, because of which data post fails.
PI: https://IP:9443
PO: https://IP:9443/ (Since Path Prefix is mandatory)
As per my understanding The data is supposed to be posted directly to the IP (https://IP:9443) however it is getting posted to (https://IP:9443/) where the service is not available. For reference have attached relevant screenshots.
Is there any way to provide Blank value,omit the Path Field of HTTP_AAE Receiver adapter. Need ardent support and suggestions
regarding this.

Komal,
I tried the regular expression on my system which is PI 7.30 SP 8 Patch Level 45. And it worked for me.
I have used a simple check for alphabets.

IPhone contacts, Country field, keeps Syncmyride Navigation from giving directions. Is there a way to leave Country field blank? Thanks for any help. JW

iPhone contacts, Country field, keeps Syncmyride Navigation from giving directions. Is there a way to leave Country field blank? Thanks for any help. Jww

Syncmyride. That's what's having the problem. If it were handing the data properly, it wouldn't be a problem. You should not have to remove data from your contacts in order for an app that is accessing the contact data to work correctly. This is a bug in syncmyride. It has nothing to do with iCloud or anything else that Apple controls.

While making field invisible at runtime in FPM_FORM_UIBB that row is coming as blank

Hi All,
In one of the requirement we are making one of the fields indivisible at runtime in the method - GET_DATA of the class - CL_HRESS_PER_DETAIL.
But row in which the filed is made invisible is coming as blank .
Is there any way to change the row number of the fields at run time .
Thanks
Amol

We don't have option for specifying the row / column options at runtime.
In structure FPMGB_T_FIELDUSAGE We have only Mandatory/Visibility/Read-only/Enabled options to set for any field.

Making Total field blank

I have a PDF that has an order form on page 3. Recently we added a fixed shipping/handling charge of $3.00 and that has created some problems. The big issue is that some customers like to print out the order form and enter their order items at our Picture Day events instead of filling out that section before printing, and now they get a $3.00 in the Total field, making it hard to write in their total by hand.
The Total field calculates Sum(Cost1,Cost2,Cost3,Cost4,Cost5,Fees,MAW,3) where the 3 is the fixed S/H charge. I'd like it to display nothing at all if that sum equals 3 and display the total if the sum is greater than 3. I'm very much a novice to this but have some programming sense. I've tried an if/then combo as part of the calculate step. I've tried a different if/then as part of the validate step.
Can someone help me structure the coding for my Total field?
If you want to see the PDF click here and go to page 3. If you have any other suggestions, I'm "all ears."
THANKS!
P.S. I forgot to mention that this is being designed/edited using Acrobat Pro 8 and the LiveCycle Designer 8 that is part of this. I couldn't find a home for this in the Acrobat forum and I don't *think* that 8.0 is the same as LiveCycle ES. Hopefully the question is still answerable where I've put it. Thanks!

That's a good suggestion but I don't want to give the customer a chance to essentially make the charge "optional" by allowing them to uncheck it.
I actually kept tinkering with it and found the answer myself....
if (Sum(Cost1,Cost2,Cost3,Cost4,Cost5,Fees,MAW,3)==3) then
else
Sum(Cost1,Cost2,Cost3,Cost4,Cost5,Fees,MAW,3)
endif

Why are filled fields blank when opening in Macs?

I can create a form in Acrobat, fill in the fields, enable it for Reader, put it online for downloading, and they view fine on a PC in the browser. However, when opened in Macs or the iPhone, the fields are blank. Anything special I should tell the customers so it works on a Mac? Right now I'm not sure what app they're using to view them.
Thanks,
Steve H

I just did a quick test. I opened the file in Acrobat. Reader, and Preview on the Mac. They all showed the field contents when initially viewed. When I made a change to a field in Preview and saved the file, the field contents do not display when subsequently opened in Acrobat/Reader. This is a well know bug in Preview. In short, Preview corrupts the fields, making the contents not visible. This can be partially corrected by exporting the form data to a file and reimporting, but is does not undo all damage. It does make the data visible, however. You can also run a script to effectively do the same thing.
What you should tell folks is not to use Preview to make changes. Instead, use Acrobat. Reader can make changes and then save the modified document if you apply usage rights to the document with Acrobat: Advanced > Extend Features In Adobe Reader...
