Matrix - invalid row number

Hello,
Has anyone come across the following error:
"Matrix - invalid row number" ?
Full error:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0xFFFFF043): Matrix - invalid row number
at SAPbouiCOM.IEditText.get_Value()
Please note that this error is different than the more
known:
"Row - Invalid index".
Thanks,
Erez

Michael, here you go:
For i = 1 To oMatrix.RowCount
sLineID = ServicesMethods.GetCellEdit
(oMatrix.Columns, "mycol", i).Value
Next
Tjaard, I think you are mistaken.
The 0 row is the header row.
It would be correct if I were using DBDatasource iteration
Thanks,
Erez

Invalid Row Number with Gallery Widget

Hi all,
I'm having some trouble with selecting the correct gallery
with the gallery widget. Instead of using the dropdown as shown in
the demo, I want to use a query string for selecting the gallery.
This is what I've done:
<script type="text/javascript">
function selectPortfolio() {
var _wl = window.location.toString();
var _pId = _wl.substring(_wl.lastIndexOf('=') + 1,
_wl.length);
dsGalleries.setCurrentRowNumber(_pId.toString());
</script>
</head>
<body onload="selectPortfolio();">
When I try to hit the following URL:
my_website/portfolio.html?id=1, I'm trying to set the
currentRowNumber to 1. When I debug through the the SpryData.js
file I see the following function getting executed:
Spry.Data.DataSet.prototype.setCurrentRowNumber =
function(rowNumber)
if (!this.data || rowNumber >= this.data.length)
Spry.Debug.trace("Invalid row number: " + rowNumber + "\n");
return;
I can see rowNumber coming through as 1. However, this.data
is coming back as null.
Anyone see anything wrong with what I've done here?
Sean

Try to mkae it simple ;
&Total=0;
&RS_LEVEL0 = GetLevel0();
&Row_LEVEL0=&RS.Getrow(1);
&RS_LEVEL1=&Row.Getrowset(Scroll.JournalLine1);
For &I=1 to &RS_LEVEL1.Activerowcount;
&Row_LEVEL1=&RS_LEVEL1.Getrow(&I);
&Record_LEVEL1=&Row_LEVEL1.GetRecord(Record.JournalLine1);
&Field_LEVEL1=&Record_LEVEL1.GetField(Field.Amount);
&Amount=&Field_LEVEL1.Value;
&Total=&Total + &Amount;
end-for;
Your_Level_0_Record_Name.LEVEL_0_TOTAL_FIELD_NAME.value=&Total;
Hope it will work!!!
Don't do any declearation it will automaytically decleared.

Open system form and select a row number on matrix by click on button

Hi experts,
I have to open the purchase order form and select a specific row number from the matrix by clicking a button on sales order form.
is it possible ?
can anyone help me to achieve it?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards
Andrea

Andrea,
To Do? Clicking on a Button on Sales Order -> Opens a PO form, and selects the row?
In the eventhandler of a button click if the PO is not linked to SO by SAP B1 standard functionality
step 1. call ActivateMenu ("2305") of Sbo_application , this opens the PO form
step 2. Change the form to Find mode
step 3. enter po number to the Item UID "8" which is the document number.
step 4. Send enter key, or Clikc On button UID "1" which finds the PO
step 5.read the value from SO form, from matrix "38" line where you selected
step 6. use the code above to locate the line in PO (use # column for position numbers which UID is 0)
at step 5, i think you should select a line from SO matrix which you would like to open.
IN sales order, If you used PO chekcbox on logistics tab to create the PO, you can find a direct link between PO and SO (only in docentries are linked not positions) on sales order, Column UID 158 field name: potrgnum. If this connection is exists, you have an easy way:
SO form, when a user clicks on COlumn 158 (po number), you can implement an eventhandler, which
step 1.read the value from SO form, from matrix "38" line where you selected
step 2. use the code above to locate the line in PO (use # column for position numbers which UID is 0)
By processing theses steps, you can build up you solution.

Problem obtaining row number in a TableView

I have a TableView configured by means of a MapValueFactory as it is shown in the code below:

Is this a bug in JavaFX ? otherwise which is the correct way to obtain the row number in the string converter of the TextFieldTableCell ?

To get the content of a cell you have to make setCellSelectionEnabled(true);
To get the selected row or selected column you can use the following:
{code}
        table.getSelectionModel().setSelectionMode(SelectionMode.SINGLE);
        table.getSelectionModel().setCellSelectionEnabled(true);
        table.getSelectionModel().selectedItemProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void changed(ObservableValue observable, Object oldvalue, Object newValue) {
                for (TablePosition t : (ObservableList<TablePosition>) table.getSelectionModel().getSelectedCells()) {
                    System.out.println("The selected column is: " + t.getColumn());
                    System.out.println("The selected row is: " + t.getRow());
{code}
If you need only the selected row (TextFieldTableCell selected)you can use the following:
{code}
        table.getSelectionModel().selectedIndexProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Number>() {
            @Override
            public void changed(ObservableValue observable, Number oldvalue, Number newValue) {
                System.out.println("Selected row is " + newValue);
{code}

How to limit row number per group without change new page in crystal report

Hi All Expert,
Is there any way to limit row number per group without change new page in crystal report 2008. The reason i do that is due to customer using printer EPSON LQ 300 (dot matrix) always will print in landscape if detech my layout in landscape. Because they need the record always print in 1 page (Letter size) for 2 groups and each group must show 5 records. Example:
But, in CR2008, if you set the row per group from group section expert, definitely it will change to new page, but I do not want it change to new page. Any Idea?
In one page (Letter size):
Group Name: Customer-ABC
NO INVOICE AMOUNT
1)   INV001     USD100
2)   INV002     USD100
3)   INV003     USD100
4)   INV004     USD100
5)   INV005     USD100
Group Name: Customer-ABC
NO INVOICE AMOUNT
6)   INV006     USD100
7)   INV007     USD100
8)   INV008     USD100
9)   INV009     USD100
10) INV010     USD100

Hi Angie.....
I guess it is not possible.
Because if you have one common group for all the 10 records then in one page it will show 10 records under one group.
I mean i think it is not possible but m not completely sure......
Lets wait for expert advise....
Regards,
Rahul

ORA-01465: invalid hex number on form field having values like $0-$10k...

Hi
I have a form item (SPEND) of select list having values like
$0 - $10k
$10k - $50k
$50k - $100k
$100k - $250k
$250k+
For the new record, when I hit "SAVE” buttons it inserts the new records to the table with values ($0-$10k...)
BUT when i edited the same record, and then try to "Apply Changes” getting following error message
ORA-01465: invalid hex number
Again when I change the value to null it simply allows the record to UPDATE.
Again I changed the item to a text field i am getting same error when I try with charter (ABc...). BUT it allows to the number (123..)
Column attribute is SPEND VARCHAR2 (15 BYTE)
ie - when I try to update the SPEND field with the values ($0 - $10k,$10k - $50k,$50k - $100k,$100k - $250k,$250k+) I am getting above error message.

Use utl_raw.cast_to_raw() function when you convert HEX value into RAW(), e.g.:
SQL> create table ztest (ff raw(1000));
Table created
SQL> insert into ztest (ff) values
2 (utl_raw.cast_to_raw('596F75207765726520646973636F6E6E65637465642066 726 F 6D207468652041494D207365727669996365207768656E20796F752073696

Row Number() over partition by Order by in OBIEE Physical SQL

Hi ,
I created a OBIEE report in Dev using Answers. When I move the same report to Live, the count of rows was more in Live environment when compared to Dev.
The objects count is same in both Dev and Production.
WheniI verified the log file, I found that the Physical SQL in test has
ROW_NUMBER ()
OVER
PARTITION BY c1, c4, c5 order by c1,c4,c5) whereas the physical SQL in Production has
ROW_NUMBER ()
OVER
PARTITION BY c1, c4, c5, c8,c9 order by c1,c4,c5,c8,c9)
How this Partiton is done in OBIEE. I have just copied the report from catalog and moved to production.There is no changes in report.
Whether there are any settings to control it? HOw OBIEE does this Row Number() Partiton ? How can get this similiar to Test?
Please help!
Thanks
Johnny

Hi Saichand,
The links were helpful. But i am not getting how it is working in test and not in live.
I found one difference while deploying . The column names of the object both in Test and Production had spaces.For E.g: Full Name
When this column Full Name is pulled to the repsository in test , it automatically put double quotes for the column names in the physical sql when it hits the database.
But, In production , when I pulled the column the report gave error as Invalid Identifier since OBIEE generated column name as Full Name without double quotes.
Then I changed the column in Phyiscal Layer repository by having double Quotes for all columns. Afte that report worked fine.
Whether this has caused any issue in Row Partition.
Is there any setting to have column name in Double Quotes ?
Thanks,
Johnny

10g Lite SYNC Error -- POL-3201 "Invalid Slot Number"

Hi,
I am Using Oracle Lite 10g R3, I am doing manual SYNC Process.
Today I started the manual Sync Process i encountered the Error Message in the Screen "POL-3201 Invalid Slot Number"
Oracle document States that
POL-3201 Invalid slot number
Cause: Internal error caused by referencing an object that has been deleted. Each
object in the database, such as a row has a unique object identifier (OID) that
identifies the location of the object in secondary storage. Each database file is
divided into fixed size chunks called disk pages. An OID can become invalid
when the:
■ disk page being referred by the OID does not exist in the database file.
■ physical read or write of the disk page fails due to an operating system related
error.
■ address of the object (as indicated by the internal encoding in the OID) in the
disk page is outside the page.
■ object is not found in the page.
Has anyone faced this error and resolved it successfully?
Please advice.

Data Source - Bad Field Size (Row Number)

Hi,
I get following Exception "Data Source - Bad Field Size" when I run:
oForm_ActivityView.DataSources.DataTables.Item("mtx_C").ExecuteQuery("SELECT...
The Select statement run fine in SQL 2005.
I am using following SQL statement to get the row number:
ROW_NUMBER()OVER (ORDER BY OCLG.ClgCode) AS RowNumber,
If I remove the statement it works fine.
How do I get the row number in B1 to my Matrix?
Thank you,
Rune

I fought with this in the past too and solution for me was:
original query
select ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY ItemCode) AS RowNumber, * from oitm
new query
select t.* from (select ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY ItemCode) AS RowNumber, * from oitm) t
or convert the rownumber to nvarchar instead of integer as
convert(nvarchar(10), ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY ItemCode) ) as RowNumbver
check it and let me know

I am having a user defined form in which, I m having a matrix and m populating the matrix with the output of an sql query.
something like this:
SQL_Str= "select col1,col2,......from.... "
OPopDBTable.ExecuteQuery(SQL_Str)
oMatrix.AddRow()
oMatrix.Columns.Item("Col3").DataBind.Bind("PopTable", "col1")
oMatrix.Columns.Item("Col2").DataBind.Bind("PopTable", "col2")
oMatrix.LoadFromDataSource()
Now, in this, how can I assign row number to first column ('#' column ) ??
regards,
Binita

Ah...the ROW_NUMBER() was posted by Petr - also thank you (again)
With my example-query from the other thread:
SELECT
     CAST(
             ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY T1.U_LogNo ASC) AS INT
        ) AS RowCnt,
     T1.Code,
     T1.U_ParcelNo,
     T1.U_LogNo
FROM
     [@XXX_EXAMPLE] T1
WHERE
     T1.U_ParcelNo='132006'
ORDER BY
     T1.U_LogNo ASC
...this works for me (it's quickly copied from several subs/func. - I hope it's not too much disordered):
DtLogs.ExecuteQuery(query)
oMtxLogs.Columns.Item("0").DataBind.Bind("DT_LOGS", "RowCnt")
oMtxLogs.Columns.Item("1")........
oMtxLogs.LoadFromDataSource()

How to get row number in the fetch row itself in Sql Query ?

Hi,
i am fetching some rows from a sql query . Is there any way to get row number as well in each row while all rows are fetched ?
like this :
RowNum data1 data2
1 abc ere
2 bnh ioi

Hello
Ofcourse you can get the rownum inside a query, just keep in mind that the rownum is the number of order in which the records were fetched from the table, so if you do an order by, the rownum will not be sequential, unless you query the information in a subquery first.
SELECT rown, col1, col1
FROM table
Or
SELECT rownum, col1, col2
FROM (SELECT col_1, col_2 FROM table ORDER BY col1)

Find row number of first cell in a relative range that is less than $B$3

Thanks for any help. I've spent hours searching, trying, and reading iWork Help
Example: $B$3 = 3
Column C
1: 9
2: 2
3: 9
4: 2
5: 3
6: 9
7: 9
Find the first occurrence that is less than $B$3 (=3) in the range C3:C6. Return the row # (relative to the range, or actual row number, I don't care)
Fill Down the formula, so the next cell looks at the range C4:C7
In this case, I want it to return Row 4 (not 5 or 2)
Tried this with MATCH (last argument -1 or 1) which almost works, but if it finds an exact match, it returns that row (5) instead of the first one (4)

The single formula in D2, filled down that column, returns the row number of every row where the value in column C is less than or equal to the value in $B$3.
The second formula, which I placed in B4, but which can go wherever it's needed, searches a limited range of column D for the minimum value in that range.
In the example, based on your initial question, the range is three cells. In B4, it's D2:D4; in B5 it's D3:D5, etc., with Numbers automatically adjusting the cell references as the formula is filled down the column. In each case, the formula returns the minimum value it finds in the three cell range, which is the row number on which the value in column C first meets the condition (less than or equal to $B$3) within that three cell range.
In the second example, the formula retrieves the same value (the row number) as above, but instead of displaying it, uses it as the row-offset value in an OFFSET statement to return the Date from the row where the row number was collected.
NOTE: Looking back at it, I see that in my rush to other duties I made an error in this formula, setting the row offset too high. Revise the formula as shown below to get the date from the correct row:
Existing: =IF(MAX(D2:D4)=0,"",OFFSET($A$1,MIN(D2:D4),0))
Revised: =IF(MAX(D2:D4)=0,"",OFFSET($A$1,MIN(D2:D4)-1,0))
You wrote:
If I'm following the logic, it would require one column (like D in this example) for every set of rows searched (in my example, B5:B15 filled down, so the next search is B6:B16 and so on).
No. Provided the values of X and Y are constant for each set of searches, you'll need an auxiliary column for each column of values to be searched. One auxiliary column is used to mark the rows in which the value in B meets the condition ">x", the second to mark the rows where the value in C meets the condition "<y".
The search formula (above) searches a subset of its column and returns the lowest row number where the condition for that column is met,and either displays that number or uses it to return and display a date.
