Metadata Field -- List of Strings -- Data Type

I'm trying to create a dropdown List to create a custom Metadata . i saw that the data type "list of strings" is available on already created metadata , but once i try to create a custom metadata list I can find the List of Strings datatype . did i missed something when i installed FCS?
is this possible.
I wish i could add a keyword dropdown list, as we can do with booleans but of course with more than 2 choices.

Sorry, since the french translation of the manual is not crystal clear, i didn't know i had to use the lookup feature. i jsut bought Getting Started with Final Cut Server (Matthew Geller - PeachPress ed.) where i got the final answer.
anyway, it's not very handy because it would be easier to unlock the List of Strings darta type to create a new metadata field.
i'm a newbie sorry again.

Dynamic structure of "string" data type. Please help.

ABAPers,
I am calling cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table method to dynamically create a structure. The input structure definition is as follows:
data: xfc type lvc_s_fcat.
data: ifc type lvc_t_fcat.
* define Fld1
clear xfc.
xfc-fieldname = 'Fld1'.
xfc-datatype = 'string'.
append xfc to ifc.
* define Fld2
clear xfc.
xfc-fieldname = 'Fld2'.
xfc-datatype = 'string'.
append xfc to ifc.
Although the call to create_dynamic_table does not throw any exceptions, it appears Fld1 and Fld2 are not of "string" data type. I don't know of a way to see what type they are. However, they do have a length limit of 10 characters.
After some experimenting, it turns out that the method simply ignores "datatype" value if it doesn't understand it and creates the field with some default data type.
I would appreciate it if someone can show me how to create fields of "string" data type.
Thank you in advance for your help.

That's right, use STRG as the datatype. Please see the example program.
report zrich_0003.
type-pools: slis.
data: new_table type ref to data,
      new_line type ref to data.
data: xfc type lvc_s_fcat,
       ifc type lvc_t_fcat.
field-symbols: <dyn_table> type standard table,
               <dyn_wa>,
               <fs>.
start-of-selection.
clear xfc.
xfc-fieldname = 'Field1' .
xfc-datatype = 'STRG'.
append xfc to ifc .
clear xfc.
xfc-fieldname = 'Field2' .
xfc-datatype = 'STRG'.
append xfc to ifc .
* Create dynamic internal table and assign to FS
call method cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table
    exporting
      it_fieldcatalog = ifc
    importing
      ep_table        = new_table.
assign new_table->* to <dyn_table>.
* Create dynamic work area and assign to FS
create data new_line like line of <dyn_table>.
assign new_line->* to <dyn_wa>.
assign component 1 of structure <dyn_wa> to <fs>.
<fs> = 'This is string 1'.
assign component 2 of structure <dyn_wa> to <fs>.
<fs> = 'This is string 2'.
append <dyn_wa> to <dyn_table>.
* Write the values of internal table.
loop at <dyn_table> into <dyn_wa>.
    do.
      assign component sy-index of structure <dyn_wa> to <fs>.
      if sy-subrc <> 0.
        exit.
      endif.

SSIS Package : While Extracting Sharepoint Lookup column, getting error 'Cannnot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types'

Hello,
I am working on one project and there is need to extract Sharepoint list data and import them to SQL Server table. I have few lookup columns in the list.
Steps in my Data Flow :
Sharepoint List Source
Derived Column
its formula : SUBSTRING([BusinessUnit],FINDSTRING([BusinessUnit],"#",1)+1,LEN([BusinessUnit])-FINDSTRING([BusinessUnit],"#",1))
Data Conversion
OLE DB Destination
But I am getting the error of not converting between unicode and non-unicode string data types.
I am not sure what I am missing here.
In Data Conversion, what should be the Data Type for the Look up column?
Please suggest here.
Thank you,
Mittal.

You have a data conversion transformation. Now, in the destination are you assigning the results of the derived column transformation or the data conversion transformation. To avoid this error you need use the data conversion output.
You can eliminate the need for the data conversion with the following in the derived column (creating a new column):
(DT_STR,100,1252)(SUBSTRING([BusinessUnit],FINDSTRING([BusinessUnit],"#",1)+1,LEN([BusinessUnit])-FINDSTRING([BusinessUnit],"#",1)))
The 100 is the length and 1252 is the code page (I almost always use 1252) for interpreting the string.

Column "A" cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types

I am following the SSIS overview video-
https://secure.cbtnuggets.com/it-training-videos/series/microsoft-sql-server-2008-business-development/6143?autostart=true
I have a flat file that i want to import the contents onto a SQL database.
I created a Dataflow task, source file and oledb destination.
I am getting the folliwung error -
"column "A" cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types"
in the origin file the data type is coming as string[DT_STR] and in the destination object it is coming as "Unicode string [DT_WSTR]"
I used a data conversion object in between, dosent works very well
Please help what to do

I see this often.
Right Click on FlatFileSource --> Show Advanced Editor --> 'Input and Output Properties' tab --> Expand 'Flat File Source Output' --> Expand 'Output Columns' --> Select your field and set the datatype to DT_WSTR.
Let me know if you still have issues.
Thank You,

Unicode and non-unicode string data types Issue with 2008 SSIS Package

Hi All,
I am converting a 2005 SSIS Package to 2008. I have a task which has SQL Server as the source and Oracle as the destination. I copy the data from a SQL server view with a field nvarchar(10) to a field of a oracle table varchar(10). The package executes fine
on my local when i use the data transformation task to convert to DT_STR. But when I deploy the dtsx file on the server and try to run from an SQL Job Agent it gives me the unicode and non-unicode string data types error for the field. I have checked the registry
settings and its the same in my local and the server. Tried both the data conversion task and Derived Column task but with no luck. Pls suggest me what changes are required in my package to run it from the SQL Agent Job.
Thanks.

What is Unicode and non Unicode data formats
Unicode :
A Unicode character takes more bytes to store the data in the database. As we all know, many global industries wants to increase their business worldwide and grow at the same time, they would want to widen their business by providing
services to the customers worldwide by supporting different languages like Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic. Many websites these days are supporting international languages to do their business and to attract more and more customers and that makes life
easier for both the parties.
To store the customer data into the database the database must support a mechanism to store the international characters, storing these characters is not easy, and many database vendors have to revised their strategies and come
up with new mechanisms to support or to store these international characters in the database. Some of the big vendors like Oracle, Microsoft, IBM and other database vendors started providing the international character support so that the data can be stored
and retrieved accordingly to avoid any hiccups while doing business with the international customers.
The difference in storing character data between Unicode and non-Unicode depends on whether non-Unicode data is stored by using double-byte character sets. All non-East Asian languages and the Thai language store non-Unicode characters
in single bytes. Therefore, storing these languages as Unicode uses two times the space that is used specifying a non-Unicode code page. On the other hand, the non-Unicode code pages of many other Asian languages specify character storage in double-byte character
sets (DBCS). Therefore, for these languages, there is almost no difference in storage between non-Unicode and Unicode.
Encoding Formats:
Some of the common encoding formats for Unicode are UCS-2, UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32 have been made available by database vendors to their customers. For SQL Server 7.0 and higher versions Microsoft uses the encoding format UCS-2 to store the UTF-8 data. Under
this mechanism, all Unicode characters are stored by using 2 bytes.
Unicode data can be encoded in many different ways. UCS-2 and UTF-8 are two common ways to store bit patterns that represent Unicode characters. Microsoft Windows NT, SQL Server, Java, COM, and the SQL Server ODBC driver and OLEDB
provider all internally represent Unicode data as UCS-2.
The options for using SQL Server 7.0 or SQL Server 2000 as a backend server for an application that sends and receives Unicode data that is encoded as UTF-8 include:
For example, if your business is using a website supporting ASP pages, then this is what happens:
If your application uses Active Server Pages (ASP) and you are using Internet Information Server (IIS) 5.0 and Microsoft Windows 2000, you can add "<% Session.Codepage=65001 %>" to your server-side ASP script.
This instructs IIS to convert all dynamically generated strings (example: Response.Write) from UCS-2 to UTF-8 automatically before sending them to the client.
If you do not want to enable sessions, you can alternatively use the server-side directive "<%@ CodePage=65001 %>".
Any UTF-8 data sent from the client to the server via GET or POST is also converted to UCS-2 automatically. The Session.Codepage property is the recommended method to handle UTF-8 data within a web application. This Codepage
setting is not available on IIS 4.0 and Windows NT 4.0.
Sorting and other operations :
The effect of Unicode data on performance is complicated by a variety of factors that include the following:
1. The difference between Unicode sorting rules and non-Unicode sorting rules
2. The difference between sorting double-byte and single-byte characters
3. Code page conversion between client and server
Performing operations like >, <, ORDER BY are resource intensive and will be difficult to get correct results if the codepage conversion between client and server is not available.
Sorting lots of Unicode data can be slower than non-Unicode data, because the data is stored in double bytes. On the other hand, sorting Asian characters in Unicode is faster than sorting Asian DBCS data in a specific code page,
because DBCS data is actually a mixture of single-byte and double-byte widths, while Unicode characters are fixed-width.
Non-Unicode :
Non Unicode is exactly opposite to Unicode. Using non Unicode it is easy to store languages like ‘English’ but not other Asian languages that need more bits to store correctly otherwise truncation will occur.
Now, let’s see some of the advantages of not storing the data in Unicode format:
1. It takes less space to store the data in the database hence we will save lot of hard disk space.
2. Moving of database files from one server to other takes less time.
3. Backup and restore of the database makes huge impact and it is good for DBA’s that it takes less time
Non-Unicode vs. Unicode Data Types: Comparison Chart
The primary difference between unicode and non-Unicode data types is the ability of Unicode to easily handle the storage of foreign language characters which also requires more storage space.
Non-Unicode
Unicode
(char, varchar, text)
(nchar, nvarchar, ntext)
Stores data in fixed or variable length
Same as non-Unicode
char: data is padded with blanks to fill the field size. For example, if a char(10) field contains 5 characters the system will pad it with 5 blanks
nchar: same as char
varchar: stores actual value and does not pad with blanks
nvarchar: same as varchar
requires 1 byte of storage
requires 2 bytes of storage
char and varchar: can store up to 8000 characters
nchar and nvarchar: can store up to 4000 characters
Best suited for US English: "One problem with data types that use 1 byte to encode each character is that the data type can only represent 256 different characters. This forces multiple
encoding specifications (or code pages) for different alphabets such as European alphabets, which are relatively small. It is also impossible to handle systems such as the Japanese Kanji or Korean Hangul alphabets that have thousands of characters."<sup>1</sup>
Best suited for systems that need to support at least one foreign language: "The Unicode specification defines a single encoding scheme for most characters widely used in businesses around the world.
All computers consistently translate the bit patterns in Unicode data into characters using the single Unicode specification. This ensures that the same bit pattern is always converted to the same character on all computers. Data can be freely transferred
from one database or computer to another without concern that the receiving system will translate the bit patterns into characters incorrectly.

Building a table with a string data type

I am using the Build Table function and I would like to be able to label my columns on the first iteration with a string data type, which doesn't seem to be an acceptable signal for the Build Table function. However, the express table is located under "text indicators" on the front panel, so it seems like there should be a way to do this..

Ah, the "Build Table" Express VI. I hate Express VIs.
That Express VI is nothing more than a really complicated way of creating a 2D array of strings. The Express VI has no inputs for the row and column headers, so you need to add them in yourself. The same would be true for a regular table control/indicator. Here's what you need to do:
Right-click on the table indicator and select Visible Items -> Column Headers.
Right-click on the table indicator and select Create -> Property Node -> Column Header Strings[]. LabVIEW will attach a property node to the cursor and switch to the block diagram. Plop down the property node on the block diagram.
Right-click on the property node on the block diagram and select "Change All to Write".
Right-click on the property node and select "Create -> Constant". This will give you an array of strings, and you can enter the column headers in each array element.
Wire the array to the property node.
Connect the property node to the Build Table Express VI using the error clusters.

Cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types.

I'm trying to copy the data from 21 tables in a SQL 2005 database to a MS Access database using SSIS. Before converting the SQL database from 2000 to 2005 we had this process set up as a DTS package that ran every month for years with no problem. The only way I can get it to work now is to delete all of the tables from the Access DB and have SSIS create new tables each time. But when I try to create an SSIS package using the SSIS Import and Export Wizard to copy the SQL 2005 data to the same tables that SSIS itself created in Access I get the "cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types" error message. The first few columns I hit this problem on were created by SSIS as the Memo datatype in Access and when I changed them to Text in Access they started to work. The column I'm stuck on now is defined as Text in the SQL 2005 DB and in Access, but it still gives me the "cannot convert" error.

I was getting same error while tranfering data from SQL 2005 to Excel , but using following method i was able to tranfer data. Hopefully it may also help you.
1) Using Data Conversion transformation
data types you need to select is DT_WSTR (unicode in terms of SQL: 2005)
2) derived coloumn transformation
expression you need to use is :
(DT_WSTR, 20) (note : 20 can be replace by your character size)
Note:
Above teo method create replica of your esting coloumn (default name will be copy of <coloumn name>).
while mapping data do not map actual coloumn to the destination but select the coloumn that were created by any of above data transformer (replicated coloumn).

Minus date in string data type

Hi all,
i having one table in database that used to store the borrow_date and return_date, the date is in this format 06/12/2008, when i retrieve the date from the database, and i pass it into String data type, for example as follows:
private String borrow_date = 05/12/2008;
private String return_date = 10/12/2008;
if for example student A return the book on 15/12/2008, which is after the return_date in database, then i want to minus is 15/12/2008 with 10/12/2008, so that i can get the int value of 5 days. Because i want to use this integer 5 for late penalty. One day charge for 20 cent.
e.g: String borrow_date - String return_date = int total_days;
Now my problem is this, i dont know how to use string data type minus with string data type to get the integer type.
I had tried for many methods already, still cannot get it, i can get the total days in int data type if the date is in Date or Calendar data type. The problem now is the date is in String data type. Any idea from you? :)
Regards,
poh_cc

because in my case, i have to use string data type :)Thinking about this again, it really is stupid. You say you are even storing the dates in the database as Strings and not Dates. It can only lead to a world of hurt.

What is the size of a string data type

Hello,
What is the size of a string data type. Also what is the maximum size upto which a text file can grow?
Thanks in advance
cooldude

Hi cooldude,
the size of a string is given back by the function "String size". Strings are dynamically managed in LabView.
The max filesize is limited by the used filesystem. FAT-based systems are limited to 4GB (or was it 2GB?), other filesystems may allow more...

Database fields importing as wrong data type

I am using Crystal Reports 2008, connecting to an Oracle 9i database.
Some of our database tables have a field with data type of SDO_GEOMETRY. I know this is an unsupported data type in CR, so the field list in the field explorer skips over it when I import tables using the Database Expert. However, it doesn't skip over the data type, giving each field below the SDO_GEOMETRY field the wrong type. To illustrate:
Field Name     Type (Size)
GEOLOC          SDO_GEOMETRY (1)
ID          NUMBER (22)
NAME          STRING (25)
DESC          STRING (200)
CR 2008 will skip GEOLOC, assign ID as String (2000)how it interpreted SDO_GEOM in ver. XIName as Number, and Desc as String (25). I also noticed this behavior in CR XIR2. Has anyone else run into this? The workaround I've found is to write a SQL command; but is there a setting or hotfix out that fixes the bug?

Hello,
I would recomend using a stored procedure to connect to the data and assign a Crystal-valid data type to each field so that there won't be a chance for this sort of issue to happen when pulling in data.

The difference between FIELD-SYMBOL and normal DATA TYPE

Dear experts,
Please see the example below, both are output the same result.
DATA: EXTERNAL_RECORD(4000),
      POSITION TYPE I,

EXTERNAL_RECORD = '0005Smith0007Edwards0005Young'.
DO.
LENGTH = EXTERNAL_RECORD+POSITION(4).
IF LENGTH = 0.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
ADD 4 TO POSITION.
MOVE EXTERNAL_RECORD+POSITION(LENGTH) TO ENTRY.
WRITE ENTRY.
ADD LENGTH TO POSITION.
IF POSITION >= 4000.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
--OR It can be written as--
DATA: EXTERNAL_RECORD(4000),
      POSITION TYPE I,
      LENGTH TYPE N.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <ENTRY>.
EXTERNAL_RECORD = '0005Smith0007Edwards0005Young'.
DO.
LENGTH = EXTERNAL_RECORD+POSITION(4).
IF LENGTH = 0.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
ADD 4 TO POSITION.
ASSIGN EXTERNAL_RECORD+POSITION(LENGTH) TO <ENTRY>.
WRITE <ENTRY>.
ADD LENGTH TO POSITION.
IF POSITION >= 4000.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
Is there any special circumstances we need to use FIELD-SYMBOL?
Why is FIELD-SYMBOL is introduce in the first place?
Kindly advice with example.
Thanks in advance for those who can help me on this.

HI,
You can use field symbols to make the program more dynamic. In this example the name of a table control is substituted by a field symbol. Thus you cal call the form with any internal table, using the name of the table control as a parameter.
Example
form insert_row
using p_tc_name.
field-symbols <tc> type cxtab_control. "Table control
assign (p_tc_name) to <tc>.
insert 100 lines in table control
<tc>-lines = 100.
Field symbols allow you to:
**     Assign an alias to a data object(for example, a shortened
        name for data objects structured through several hierarchies
        - <fs>-f instead of rec1-rec2-rec3-f)
**     Set the offset and length for a string variably at runtime
**     Set a pointer to a data object that you determine at runtime (dynamic ASSIGN)
**     Adopt or change the type of a field dynamically at runtime
**     Access components of a structure
**     (from Release 4.5A) Point to lines of an internal table
        (process internal tables without a separate work area)
Field symbols in ABAP are similar to pointers in other programming
languages. However, pointers (as used in PASCAL or C) differ from ABAP
field symbols in their reference syntax.
The statement ASSIGN f to <fs> assigns the field f to field
symbol <fs>. The field symbol <fs> then "points" to the
contents of field f at runtime. This means that all changes to the
contents of f are visible in <fs> and vice versa. You declare
the field symbol <fs> using the statement FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs>.
Reference syntax
Programming languages such as PASCAL and C use a dereferencing symbol
to indicate the difference between a reference and the object to which
it refers; so PASCAL would use p^ for a pointer instead of p, C would
use *p instead of p. ABAP does not have any such dereferencing symbol.
**     In PASCAL or C, if you assign a pointer p1 to a pointer p2,
you force p1 to point to the object to which p2 refers (reference semantics).
**     In ABAP, if you assign a field symbol <fs1> to a field
symbol <fs2>, <fs1> takes the value of the data object to
which <fs2> refers (value semantics).
**     Field symbols in ABAP are always dereferenced, that is,
they always access the referenced data object. If you want to
change the reference yourself in ABAP, you can use the ASSIGN statement
to assign field symbol <fs1> to field symbol <fs2>.
Using field symbols
You declare field symbols using the FIELD-SYMBOLS statement.
They may be declared either with or without a specific type.
At runtime you assign a field to the field symbol using the ASSIGN
statement. All of the operations on the field symbol act on the field
assigned to it.
When you assign a field to an untyped field symbol, the field symbol
adopts the type of the field. If, on the other hand, you want to assign
a field to a typed field symbol, the type of the field and that of the
field symbol must be compatible.
A field symbol can point to any data object and from Release 4.5A,
they can also point to lines of internal tables.
The brackets (<>) are part of the syntax.
Use the expression <fs> IS ASSIGNED to find out whether the field
symbol <fs> is assigned to a field.
The statement UNASSIGN <fs> sets the field symbol <fs> so
that it points to nothing. The logical expression <fs>
IS ASSIGNED is then false. The corresponding negative expression
is IF NOT <fs> IS ASSIGNED.
An unassigned field symbol <fs> behaves as a constant with
type C(1) and initial value SPACE.
MOVE <fs>
TO dest     Transfers the initial value SPACE to the variable dest
MOVE 'A' to <fs>
Not possible, since <fs> is a constant
(runtime error).
To lift a type restriction, use the CASTING addition in the
ASSIGN statement. The data object is then interpreted as though
it had the data type of the field symbol. You can also do this
with untyped field symbols using the CASTING TYPE <type> addition.
The danger with pointers is that they may point to invalid areas.
This danger is not so acute in ABAP, because the language does not
use address arithmetic (for example, in other languages, pointer p
might point to address 1024. After the statement p = p + 10, it would
point to the address 1034). However, the danger does still exist, and
memory protection violations lead to runtime errors.
A pointer in ABAP may not point beyond a segment boundary. ABAP does
not have one large address space, but rather a set of segments.
Each of the following has its own segment:
*     All global data
*     All local data
*     Each table work area (TABLES)
*     Each COMMON PART
You should only let field symbols move within an elementary field or
structure where ABAP allows you to assign both within the global data
and beyond a field boundary.

Convert/Cast string data type from file to DT_GUID into table

Hi to all
is there anyone who help me please?!?
I'm not able to resolve the following problem.
I have a .csv file with a string field A and its values are GUID.
I must export this .csv file into SQL Server Table which have a uniqueidentifier (GUID) field B.
I must map string field A to GUID field B of table.
But I get an error like this: "Error at Data Flow Task [Derived Column [xxx]]: Error code 0x800401F3 occurred attempting to convert from data type DT_WSTR to data type DT_GUID.".
I read other posts like this in this forum and i also tried the solution suggested in those posts.
The proposed solution had suggested of insert in the expression field of "Derived Column" Transformation this expression (DT_GUID) ("{" + [YourGuid] + "}") in place of (DT_GUID) [YourGuid].
But i get always the same error.
is there anyone who help me please to resolve this issue?!?

The derived column expression should work if the yourGuid column contains a real guid.
Does the source looks something like: 25892e17-80f6-415f-9c65-7395632f0223
And are all rows filled with a correct value or are there also empty strings or null values?
