MaxLength="10" Character Count Limit in a Data Field

Hello,
Below is the syntax I'm using trying to get a data field ( MyField ) in my panel to have a maximum allowance of 10 characters.
This syntax is not doing anything to limit the count. Do you know what I have wrong in the line below?
<xmp_property name="MyField" category="external" label="$$$/Custom/Property/MyField Input_Label= My Field:" type="text" maxLength="10" ui:width="50%" ui:mru="true"/>

Hi Jacob,
here a short example with char and string.
DATA: ST TYPE STRING.
DATA: CH(250).
START-OF-SELECTION.
ST = 'I am a String with an % Character'.
SEARCH ST FOR '%'.
WRITE: / SY-SUBRC, sy-fdpos.
CH = 'I am a Char with an % Character'.
SEARCH CH FOR '%'.
WRITE: / SY-SUBRC, sy-fdpos.

Character counter does not display data on IE when counter is 0

Hi,
I am implementing a character counter in ADF using Javascript (referencing this http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/10-char-input-counter-169133.pdf).
I display the string --> 'x' characters left
The problem that I am facing is: when my character counter becomes 0 (can no longer enter any text, the maxlimit of the input field is reached) then on IE browsers, it does not show the character '0'. It displays a blank. On Firefox and Chrome, however, the UI gets displayed as expected i.e. 0 characters left.
Can I get any pointers how to fix this on IE. Have tested with IE versions 7,8,9. JDev version is 11.1.1.5.0
Here is the code snippet that I am using:
Javascript:
function showCharacterCount(event) {
var keyCodePressed = event.getKeyCode();
if (keyCodePressed == AdfKeyStroke.TAB_KEY
|| keyCodePressed == AdfKeyStroke.ARROWLEFT_KEY
|| keyCodePressed == AdfKeyStroke.ARROWUP_KEY
|| keyCodePressed == AdfKeyStroke.ARROWRIGHT_KEY
|| keyCodePressed == AdfKeyStroke.ARROWDOWN_KEY) {
event.cancel();
else {
textfield = event.getCurrentTarget();
textfieldValue = event.getSource().getSubmittedValue();
textfieldLength = textfieldValue.length;
textfieldMaxLength = textfield.getMaximumLength();
o = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponent('characterCounter');
characterCounterValue = o.getValue();
characterCounterValue = textfieldMaxLength - textfieldLength;
o.setValue(characterCounterValue);
UI:
<af:panelGroupLayout id="pgl3" layout="horizontal">
<af:outputText id="characterCounter" clientComponent="true" value="325"
inlineStyle="text-align:right; display:block; width:100.0px;"
binding="#{viewScope.myBean.characterCounterBndg}"/>
<af:outputText value="characters left" id="ot7"
inlineStyle="padding-left:5.0px;"/>
</af:panelGroupLayout>
<af:inputText id="it2" rows="4" columns="53"
value="#{viewScope.myBean.text}" maximumLength="325" clientComponent="true"
simple="true">
<af:clientListener method="showCharacterCount"
type="keyUp"/>
</af:inputText>
Thanks in advance.

Try converting from dynamic data, that seems to take care of the problem. Also, you could use the regular field point VIs instead of the FP express VI. Check out the attached VI.

APEX_ITEM.TEXTAREA - character count limit

i want to set a character limit on a textarea. my initial thoughts were to use maxlength but sadly that is not available. Has anyone implemented this limit before?

dan,
unfortunately i cannot use that as the textarea is part of a report and i being created using apex_item.
marc,
thanks for the tip. i had tried to code it using onkeypress but my script was blocking ALL keys when the limit was reached. I didnt want to go down the route of specifying what keys to allow, backspace, delete etc.
Your link seems to do the trick.

Count Function on Date Field in Discoverer

Hey folks,
How would someone like to educate a novice on how to perform a count function on a date field? I am writing a Discoverer report and have a requirement to display counts of the number of records that have a modified date of > 30 days and > 60 days. I am trying to use the 2nd count function as such: COUNT(modified_date < (SYSDATE - 30)). I keep getting the "error in function" message. I have tried it with CURRENT_DATE as well and get the same error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much,
Schuyler

Hi
You can't use logical expression in a function like this:
COUNT(modified_date < (SYSDATE - 30))
instead of this use CASE expression:
COUNT(case when modified_date < (SYSDATE - 30) then 1 else 0 end)

How do I limit the character count in a text field?

I'm creating a form for co-workers to use when creating web content. I need to restrict their character count for items like headlines, titles, subtitles, etc. Any suggestions on a ready-made form to use out there? And how can I limit those fields so they don't generate content that will then need to be edited down?
Thanks,

APEX_ITEM.textarea with character count in a SQL Report

This seems like a simple question but where is the function to have APEX draw the textarea but with a maximum number of characters from within a SQL report.
I am building a parameter entry form but the number of parameters is dynamic so my best option was to use a SQL based report. I have looked though the APEX_ITEM package and found the textarea function but there is no options to draw the version of it that limits character count. Is there a way to have it draw that textarea instead of the unlimited one. In my case I have a length limit that I must enforce.

The only solution that comes to my mind is to use Javascript. Define a JS function in page header that will check the length of text in textarea and if it exceeds the limit then it will trim it.
Then, when creating textareas using APEX_ITEM add paramater onChange="callToYourJSFunction()"

Character counter in ABAp Webdynpro

Hi everyone,
I have a table with an editable field.
I'd like to have a "Character counter" over the table, which displays the remaining characters of the field.
Example:
The field length is 100, but there is a limit for the maximum length e.g 70. When the field is empty the counter is 70, if the user starts to type, after every character the counter is decreased, until the counter reaches 0.
My question is:
Is this possible? If yes then how? I can't find "onType" event in the Table properties
Thanks & Bye
N.

Hi,
The requirement looks very interesting...But I really wonder there is such event to handle the things as the user types the characters..There is no such event to handle this.. You need to have a button and everytime user has to click to increase/decrease the counter...check if TIMER UI element can be used in this case because to record the user inputs we can set the timer and then try to have the character count...But this is really not a solution. just try it out...
Let Thomas provide some inputs on this.

Lekha.

Any way around the 393 character code limit?

Hi,
I'm using BI Publisher with Siebel 8.1.1.1.
I'm using the following to count the number of severity 1 Service Requests entered during the month of January:
<?count(ssServiceRequest[ssSeverity[.='1-Critical'] and xdoxslt:date_diff('d', xdoxslt:format_date(ssCreated,'yyyy-mm-dd','mm/dd/yyyy',$_XDOLOCALE,$_XDOTIMEZONE), '2011-01-31', $_XDOLOCALE, $_XDOTIMEZONE) <=30 and xdoxslt:date_diff('d', xdoxslt:format_date(ssCreated,'yyyy-mm-dd','mm/dd/yyyy',$_XDOLOCALE,$_XDOTIMEZONE), '2011-01-01', $_XDOLOCALE, $_XDOTIMEZONE) >=-30])?>
I now want to add another search criteria but it blows the 393 character code limit:
<?count(ssServiceRequest[ssSeverity[.='1-Critical'] and ssTrProductName[.!='WS-MService'] and xdoxslt:date_diff('d', xdoxslt:format_date(ssCreated,'yyyy-mm-dd','mm/dd/yyyy',$_XDOLOCALE,$_XDOTIMEZONE), '2011-01-31', $_XDOLOCALE, $_XDOTIMEZONE) <=30 and xdoxslt:date_diff('d', xdoxslt:format_date(ssCreated,'yyyy-mm-dd','mm/dd/yyyy',$_XDOLOCALE,$_XDOTIMEZONE), '2011-01-01', $_XDOLOCALE, $_XDOTIMEZONE) >=-30])?>
I have tried using an if statement to filter on the product name, but it is not working.
Any tips will be appreciated!
many thanks,
Claire

Try to insert a separate form field in your template where you should declare a variable and assign it the value of - xdoxslt:format_date(ssCreated,'yyyy-mm-dd','mm/dd/yyyy',$_XDOLOCALE,$_XDOTIMEZONE. Then call this variable in your existing form field.
This should reduce the code.

The character count in Messaging isn't there

I've got the character count option turned on in Messaging but I can't see it anywhere on the screen.

Character count appears ins SMS messages above the Send button once you've typed about 30 characters. It's in light grey so you may have missed it. It will never appear in iMessages because they have no character limit.

Textarea character count feature quirk/bug

Apex 4.1.1.00.23
I've found a quirky thing about the textarea page item. The character count feature counts carriage-return-line-feed (CRLF) as one character, as you would expect it to, but it's stored as two characters in the database because of the way Windows handles new lines.
So, aside from using clob columns or explaining to users how Windows handles CRLF characters, any thoughts on how one might manage this quirk?

Sorry we do not support these features for the HTML form format (the PDF form doesn't show the character count either but does prevent user from typing more chararacters after the limit is reached).

Even before up-date today, I cannot see the character count on any messages I send whether to another Apple phone or Android. The button is switched on in settings and I've tried restarting phone after turning it on and then off again. Any suggestions please? Thanks.

You won't get the character count if sending as an iMessage, only a regular SMS.

Textarea w/character counter problem

Hi!
We use a textarea with character counter and limited its max width to 500 chars. If max 500 chars have been inserted, then input stops after 500 chars. That works fine in MS Internet Explorer. Even if you insert CR/LF inputs (ENTER button), the max number of typed in chars will not exceed 500. Using Mozilla Firefox, it is possible to insert many CR/LF, which increases the typed in number by 2. Thus you get e.g. "548 of 500" displayed beyond the textarea. After updating the page in IExplorer even here you get the same counter status displayed. As long as you do not type in the textarea field, the char counter remains as it is and the data can be submitted and finally stored in database.
Qu: Has anybody experienced teh same problem with max chars and CR/LF. Any idea of a workaround prevent "548 of 500" in textareas when typing in CR/LF ?
Br,
Thomas

The CharCount() function that is used by APEX should be updated to contain javascript code similar to the code described here:

The destination message count limit (maxNumMsgs) of 100000 has been reached

So I seem to be getting this error when trying to send JMS messages in Glassfish to a topic after our application has been up and running for about 18 hours. We're using a topic, so a message is being published to the topic and one of two things should be happening if I understand things correctly: 1) Subscribers on the topic should receive a copy of the message, then the message is deleted from the topic or 2) there are no subscribers so the message doesn't get stored in the topic. However, based on the stack trace below, it is quite clear that the topic queueing up messages. The messages we send are non-persistent and the subscribers are non-durable so if no one is listening to the topic there's no reason to queue up the message. And if someone is listening, when the message is sent to the subscriber then it should be removed from the topic. Maybe I'm not understanding how topics work.

If no consumer on the Topic, the message will not be queued to the destination unless it's sent in a transaction in which case it will be cleaned up when the transaction completes if no consumer at time of transaction commit in GlassFish MQ. You can run 'imqcmd list dst', 'imqcmd query dst', 'imqcmd list dur' and 'imqcmd list txn' to check if any other consumer exist on the Topic that caused the messages get queued or held due to incompleted transaction. If there is a consumer client, make sure it's consuming messages and acknowledge messages if using client ack session.

Cifs - 5 character password limit

Hi
I've found that if I add a simple password with more than 5 characters in it and I can't authenticate to the netware server via cifs. if the password is shorter than 5 characters it works fine, what am I doing wrong or is this a limitation to the novell cifs protocol?
the servers are netware 6.5 sp8 edir 8.8.5 and the client is a windows xp/windows 2000

There is certainly no 5 character password limitaton for CIFS. What
kind of passwords are you using for CIFS authentication? Simple password
or universal password? How do you initially set your password?
