Modify number of char in LGPLA

Hi all,
I'm working with WM module, and I need to have 12 chars for the template of my storage bins(the standard is 10).
I'd like to know if the modify could compromise something, and what are the conseguences of this change.
Thank you in advance.
Best reguards.

As a thumb rule: never modify the definition of SAP standard fields, you will most likely corrupt your installation, either append your own fields and maintain them via enhancements or exits, or change your design to fit the given restriction.

Column size and number of chars

I have fixed Jtables column header size.
when I put a large text in this colums ,half of text is hidden. I know this problem is solved with setAutoResizeMode, bat I don't wont to use it.
I wont to know how many chars can I put in this column(with fixed size),
How can I return number Of chars or length or text which can be possible tu put fixed columean size?

Well, you can do something like (untested)
TableColumnModel tcm = table.getColumnModel();
TableColumn col = tcm.getColumn( n );
int cw = col.getMaxWidth();
String st = col.getHeaderValue().toString();
JTableHeader header = table.getTableHeader();
FontMetrics fm = header.getFontMetrics( header.getFont() );
for( int sw = fm.stringWidth( st ); sw > cw; ) {
st = st.substring( 0, st.length()-1 );
sw = fm.stringWidth( st );
col.setHeaderValue( st );That should at least give you some ideas.

How can I get the number of chars in a String, without countig the Spaces?

When I do String.length(), he returns the length with Spaces, but I want the number of chars and numbers.
thx

I'm afraid you'll need to write a method of your own for that. It's very simple fortunately:public static int getLengthWithoutWhitespace(String s) {
    java.util.StringTokenizer st = new java.util.StringTokenizer(s, " \t\r\n");
    int counter = 0;
    while (st.hasMoreTokens()) counter += st.nextToken().length();
    return counter;
}This code is not tested... Here's another, a bit more reliable approach that simply passes through the characters of the string:public static int getLengthWithoutWhitespace2(String s) {
    int counter=0;
    for (int i=0; i < s.length(); i++)
        if (Character.isWhitespace(s.charAt(i))) counter++;
    return counter;
}

What api would I use to get the number of chars in string?

What api would I use to get the number of chars in string?

Assuming that you really mean that you want the number of charaters in a String (not string), that would be documented in java.lang.String
The method is length()

                    end
             ELSE NULL
             END CASE The output for code = RNK should be somewhat like 3/5 which is rank/count
but i get the error "Inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got CHAR error" when i put p.rank||'/'||p.cnt
How can that be solved.
ORacle version is 10g.

Taken from the documentation of the CASE expression:
"For a simple CASE expression, the expr and all comparison_expr values must either have the same datatype (CHAR, VARCHAR2, NCHAR, or NVARCHAR2, NUMBER, BINARY_FLOAT, or BINARY_DOUBLE) or must all have a numeric datatype. If all expressions have a numeric datatype, then Oracle determines the argument with the highest numeric precedence, implicitly converts the remaining arguments to that datatype, and returns that datatype.
For both simple and searched CASE expressions, all of the return_exprs must either have the same datatype (CHAR, VARCHAR2, NCHAR, or NVARCHAR2, NUMBER, BINARY_FLOAT, or BINARY_DOUBLE) or must all have a numeric datatype. If all return expressions have a numeric datatype, then Oracle determines the argument with the highest numeric precedence, implicitly converts the remaining arguments to that datatype, and returns that datatype."
You need to use the same data type for all your expressions. If you want to return a string, then you need to convert the remaining numbers explicitly to strings. E.g. you could try something like this:
CASE
             WHEN code = 'MDN' THEN
                       to_char(max(case when p.m_date = v_prev2_yr_mon and p.period_type = '1M' then p.mdn /100 else null end), 'TM')
             WHEN code = 'QRT' THEN
                  to_char(max(case when p.m_date = v_prev2_yr_mon and p.period_type = '1M' then p.quartile else null end), 'TM')
             WHEN code = 'PCT' THEN
                  to_char(max(case when p.m_date = v_prev2_yr_mon and p.period_type = '1M' then p.pct_beaten / 100 else null end), 'TM')
             WHEN code = 'RNK' THEN
                       case when (p.m_date = v_prev2_yr_mon and p.period_type = '1M' and p.rank is null and p.cnt is null)
                    THEN
                                   to_char(P.RANK, 'TM')
                    else
                                    p.rank||'/'||p.cnt
                    end
             ELSE NULL
             END CASE I see another potential issue, you're mixing aggregate functions with non-aggregate expressions, this can only work if these non-aggregate expressions are part of the group by clause, but you haven't posted the complete statement so I can only guess.

Exception:"Decrease the number of char between the beginning of the document and its root element"

I'm now using a javabean in my jsp page to parse xml;when my xml file's size is
about 10k,it just work fine;when my xml file's size became 50k,it throws the followng
Exception:
Failed to open xml document,Failed to retrieve Public id or system id from the
document. Decrease the number of char between the beginning of the document and
its root element. But when I run this javabean in JBuild ,it works fine no matter
how big the xml file becomes;
Why? the error message is in the attachment.

The prologue must be included at the top of the document, followed by the root
          element.

How to put both number and char in values?

Hi ,
Cud anyone tell me how can i put both number and char value in one colun. Such as i want to put ..(A121)..in REFNo column . so it includes both number and char .how can i do this?

Hi,
If you will ever want to treat the numeric part of refno as a NUMBER, then I suggest you store the values in two separate columns, refno_alpha and refo_num. For example, if "ORDER BY refno" should produce:
A1
A1.1
A2
A10
A11
A100
A121
B1then it will be easier to have two columns.
When necessary, you can always combine the two columns (using "refno_alpha || refno_num"). You can create a function-based index and/or a view with that expression if it helps you.
Also, as William said, validation is easier if the numbers are separate.

Limit number of chars per line

Hi ,
how to limit the number of chars per Line in a textArea or RTFEditableText?
I have to do the following:
Allow 25 Chars for first line,
any other line should have max. 28 chars.
First line should have a bold font.
Not an easy thing..
I tried to use a textarea fpr input and put the text into a datagrid in the textarea.change() event.
This works, but I lose a lot of the standard features of the textarea (hyphenation etc.)
The idea is to use only the textarea or a RTFEditor for applying the rules mentioned above.
Thanks
thorsten

extend PlainDocument class to restrict the number of characters per line.
Set this class as model to TextArea.
Below is a class which does this. May be its useful
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class FixedNumericDocument extends PlainDocument {
private int maxLength = 9999;
private String max="";
public FixedNumericDocument(int maxLength) {
super();
this.maxLength = maxLength;
//this is where we'll control all input to our document.
//If the text that is being entered passes our criteria, then we'll just call
//super.insertString(...)
public void insertString(int offset, String str, AttributeSet attr)
throws BadLocationException {
if (getLength() + str.length() > maxLength) {
return;
else {
try {
//check if str is numeric only
int value = Integer.parseInt(str);
//if we get here then str contains only numbers
//chk if it is less than 65535 so that it can be inserted
super.insertString(offset, str, attr);
catch(NumberFormatException exp) {
return;
return;

User has to enter a specified number of CHARs length while filling the form

Hello
I am developing a interactive form, which got context interface from WebDynPro ABAP. I have a input field on the form, its NAME, i binded it with NAME1 of WebDynPro context, in SAP its length is 35 CHARs.
My requirement is user can not enter more than 35 CHARs in the form, while user is fillling it. So, to achive this,
1) Its enough just binding form NAME to WebDynPro SAP NAME1 attribute of context, then, SAP will automatically take care this?
2) or do i need to put the 35 number lenght in Max Chars field of Object-Field in the FORM?
Thank you

Hi,
While binding a field on layout you get an option to specify properties of the field in regards with bound data element. If there you have chosen the property of max chars then its not mandatory to specify it again in object properties of the field. But if you have not mentioned it while binding then it will be required to separately mention in the object property.

Number of chars in the PR Release strategy

Hello gurus
How many chars are allowed in the PR Release strategy? , Is it possible to set up the PR Release strategy with item wise and overall release.
Thanks
JJ

Hello:
You can calculate this value using the variation calculation. For exapmple: if N is the number of positions and M is the number of characters (or leters) teh Variation is
V(n,m) = n! / (n-m)!
where the operation n! = n * (n-1) * (n-2) .... 3 * 2 * 1
In your case you have 10 positions for cost center and 26 leters plus 10 numbers as characters.
V(36,10) = 36! / (36-10)!
V(36,10) = 36!/26!
V(36,10) = 3635343332313029282726! / 26!
V(36,10) = 363534333231302928*27
V(36,10) = 9.22393E+14 possible cost centers

Getting a number from (char)System.in.read

I am very new to java so please forgive the seemingly basic question.
When I try to simply get a number for input into a program, and I use (char)Sysytem.in.read(),
it only gives me the acutual Keyboard number (ie.. 2 = 50, 1 = 49).
Even when I try to parse an Integer using :
public static void getNum( ) throws NumberFormatException
     char char1;
     String String1 = new String ("");
     int X;
     char1 = (char)System.in.read();
while ( char1 <= '0' && char1 <= '9' )
     String1 = String1 + char1;
     char1 = (char)System.in.read();
     X = Integer.parseInt(String1);
System.in.read();
     return X;
     System.out.println(X);
This gives me a usable number but if I try to use a decimal point in the number and convert it to a double, it wont work because the decimal wont read into the (char)System.in.read();
Anyone have a suggestion ?

Hope this helps - although haven't tried out your code.
System.in.read() returns the next byte of information in the buffer, if the buffer is empty it'll prompt for input (passing control back to hardware/OS). Say the user types 10.56 and presses return - now the buffer has the information 10.56 plus a LF(line-feed) and and a CR(carriage return) character (this is how it is from DOS anyway) and control is passed back to your program which gets only the first byte of information from the buffer, which in this case would represent the character '1', only it doesnt get back the character '1', it gets an int type which represents the byte of information which represented the character '1' to your hardware/OS system (which I believe is decided by the machine local encoding system).
By casting this int to a char by the expression
(char) System.in.read()
its converted to the original character that the int represented from the buffer
If you were using System.in.read() only you would have to reconstruct the input as a String by concatenating the char's one by one only ignoring the last 2 bytes of the buffer (which captured the LF and CR).
Say you had the resulting String from the above reconstruction in the variable s1,
you could then attempt to convert the resulting String to a floating-point type (say a double) using
d = Double.parseDouble(s1)
where d was a double type (as mentioned by abnormal)
You'd have to put this in a try/catch statement because the user could type something invalid like 10.6a5
which would cause the parseDouble() method to throw an exception which unless you handle it yourself will cause your program to abend with a NumberFormatException.
This all seems to be a lot of hard work for input apparently so simple, which is why abnormal suggest using a BufferedReader to overcome the problem of 'manually' stripping the CR and LF from the input leaving you with just a String. I must admit I'm not sure of why abnormal's code wouldn't work for you. But I thought I'd post this anyway because you might find the background info helpful.

Casting Number as Char - how to hide decimal places?

I am casting a number as a Char because I am concatenating it with other things. The problem is that when I cast to char, it displays two decimal places of just 0's. I really don't want to show the decimal place or anything after it. Is there a way to remove them?
Thanks

Hi,
You can have two approaches for the same.
1> cast( cast(column as int) as char)
2> Go to the column properties(i.e the finger mark on the coulmn heading). Then select the data format tab and check the override the default data format tab. Then you can set the decimal places.

How to globally modify number formatting in Crystal Reports

How do I globally modify the number formatting in Crystal Reports to NOT use the default which is “System Default Number Format”? The goal is to modify the number formatting to NOT contain commas. This modification should be global and should apply to any local account that will launch and use Crystal Reports on the server where it is installed. Can anyone help?

Hi Raghavendra,
For new reports, we have tried the setting you specified. The question is, how can we force Crystal Reports to “keep” and “retain” the adjusted format globally every time users create a new report?
Thank you!
