Hi,
You should use LengthValidator to set the maximum character for the control.

Restrict TextEdit field length to 240 chars

Hi,
In my Web-Dynpro application, I need to restrict the TextEdit field length to 240 chars maximum size.
The users shouldn't be allowed to enter more than 240 characters!
Best Regards,
Amol

Hi,
try creating a simple type under the dictionaries->logical dictionary->data types->simple type of type String and in the Definition tab set the max length to 240. create a value attribute under the context and set the type to the simple type created and bind it to the Input field.
This will restrict the length to 240.

Maximum Characters Input Box

What is the fattest letter? i.e. what should I use to test
that content always fits within an input box regardless of what the
user types? Is it the letter "M"? I know M is used as a standard in
other design circles.
Thanks

Thank you. Is there an easy way to do the opposite, have a
user's text adapt to the textfield? For example, I have an input
textField that is 100 pixels in width, single-line, size 20 _sans
font (Maximum Characters turned off for demo. purposes). You can
input 5 "M's" before the field begins scrolling right, or you can
enter 24 lowercase "l's". In this case the input is for a form that
will be printed, therefore scrolling cannot occur (since it wouldnt
show up on the print form), and Maximum characters must be turned
on. So I would have to limit maximum characters to 5 right? In
reality I'm working with much larger textfields, but you get the
idea. Is there a way to set the maximum characters based on user
input?

Update Rule routine to get last 4 characters of a field

I am aware I can do this using a formula. However, can someone assist in writing the routine which gets the last four characters of a field. The field is part of the COMM_STRUCTURE? Thanks

Hi,
For determining the length of the field, you have to use first the statement DESCRIBE so you get the figure into a variable (I do not have a SAP system right now, so errors can occur in the following):
data length type i.
describe comm_structure-field length into length.
length = length - 4.
result = comm_structure-field+(length)(4).
However, please shift your field is RIGHT JUSTIFIED earlier than using these statements. Please consider the instruction SHIFT. That will insure you that you get the right characters.

How to find Maximum of a date field using BEx

We are trying to just display the maximum of a date field in a BEx report along with some fixed text .
If we need to create a formula using Maximum function , how to use the same?
For ex, we have a field "Flight Date" in the cube and cube has been updated with flight date till 10.09.2006.
we want to display in the BEx report something like "Flight details are available only till <maximum of the flight date field from the cube>"
Please help.

Srilakshmi,
Create a formula on the data and then sort the query on the date , that way the latest date would come on top. I am not sure if you can have something the way you have described..
an option could be :
Have a query on the cube with a condition of top date where the date could be a formula , this way you would get the latest date. se this as a value set to filter another query that displays only the date and nothing else , have some static text beside the query to indicate that this is the latest date.
Hope it helps..

MDk-112;8574;175;02.09.11;;CREDIT;;;;;104098800;;0;02.09.11;;;;;;;099;
- I have to merge header and detail records into one target structure..
- For the records which doesn't consists of detail records should pass only header record. ex: MDk-113
- To merge the both the files, im using BPM with correlation.
The correlation which i need to use in BPM is the first record in both the files "MDk-XXX" where XXX is the number which may or may not match in both the files.. So i need to pass only first four characters of the first filed in the correlation ie. "MDK-".
After file content conversion, the input xml payload will be as below
<Code>MDK-112</bankCode>
How can I pass only first four characters of this field ("MDK-") in Xpath in the correlation tab?
Kindly suggest.
Thanks

Hi Deepthi,
You can send the substring of the Code value. This is explained in the following WIKI, have a look at this.

Creating hotkeys for special characters in textedit

Hello,
I'm trying to type my maths HW on my mac on textedit or word 2008. I'm trying to type the Z (integer symbol). Now I have found that in Special Characters in textedit but I cannot add a hot key to it for frequent use. In word 2008 I didn't find it, although I could paste it from textedit. What's the way out?

How can I pull info into a report using just the first two characters of that field?

I am trying to pull a total cost based upon locations in a particular area(s). Can I get the formula to just do this based on the first two characters of that field?
Here is what I have so far:
if {PACKED.LOCATIONS.NEXT OPERATION} = ["xx"] THEN {Job.Total_Price}
Packed locations is a table I'm pulling from and the column I want just the first two digits is the the Next operation. Once this meets the "xx" (whatever location) then give me the total price from the Job table.
This works for one or two orders, but then blows up when I do 10 or so.

Hi Steve, assuming that Next Operation is a string field...
Create a new formula and place it in the field where you see the {Job.Total_Price} field (Detail or Group depending on your report) with the formula:
whileprintingrecords;
global numbervar TotalValue;
if len({? Replace me}) <= len({PACKED.LOCATIONS.NEXT OPERATION}) then(
if left(ucase({PACKED.LOCATIONS.NEXT OPERATION}),len({? Replace me})) = ucase({? Replace me}) then
TotalValue := TotalValue + {Job.Total_Price}
TotalValue;
You can go ahead and suppress that field.
Create a new formula to place where you want to view the summary using the formula:
whileprintingrecords;
global numbervar TotalValue;
This method allows for a higher degree of flexibility and you can search for the first x characters of that field instead of only the first 2 characters

P.S. Why are you only considering Notepad?

Hi Kevin,
here is the Example for the offset which you want
DATA TIME TYPE T VALUE '172545'.
WRITE TIME.
WRITE / TIME+2(2).
CLEAR TIME+2(4).
WRITE / TIME.
The output appears as follows:
172545
25
170000
First, the minutes are selected by specifying an offset in the WRITE statement. Then, the minutes and seconds are set to their initial values by specifying an offset in the clear statement.
2nd Example:-
DATA: F1(8) VALUE 'ABCDEFGH',
F2(8).
DATA: O TYPE I VALUE 2,
L TYPE I VALUE 4.
MOVE F1 TO F2. WRITE F2.
MOVE F1+O(L) TO F2. WRITE / F2.
MOVE F1 TO F2+O(L). WRITE / F2.
CLEAR F2.
MOVE F1 TO F2+O(L). WRITE / F2.
MOVE F1O(L) TO F2O(L). WRITE / F2.
This produces the following output:
ABCDEFGH
CDEF
CDABCD
ABCD
CDEF
First, the contents of F1 are assigned to F2 without offset specifications. Then, the same happens for F1 with offset and length specification. The next three MOVE statements overwrite the contents of F2 with offset 2. Note that F2 is filled with spaces on the right, in accordance with the conversion rule for source type C.
