Need help with IF Statement!!!

I am trying to write an IF statement using FormCalc in LiveCycle. I have cell "tpe" which captures total points. I would like to assign levels based on the number of points achieved. For example, level I = 1001-1985; level II = 851-1000; level III = 551-850; level IV = <551. I want cell "level" to show either I, II, III or IV, based on the points in cell "tpe". How can I do this? I have zero familiarity with FormCalc or scrips in general. Can someone please help me with this? Would appreciate any help!! Thanks!

This is what it says:
topmostSubform.Page3.tpe::calculate - (FormCalc, client)
sum (rrtotal, programtotal, financetotal, leadershiptotal, executivetotal, meetingstotal, filestotal, brotherhoodtotal, conferencetotal, communicationstotal, minutestotal, standardstotal, basileustotal, abtotal, gramtotal, antigramtotal, tamtotal, pgramtotal, partotal, epistotal, torchtotal, hodtotal, phitotal)
if ($ > 1000 and $ <= 1985)then
level = "I"
elseif ($ > 850 and $ <= 1000)then
level = "II"
elseif ($ > 550 and $ <= 850)then
level = "III"
elseif ($ <= 550)then
level = "IV"
else level = ""
endif

Need help with Object States or Buttons?

I currently work in InDesign to compile layouts and present design decks to clients. Our template includes an approval section (Not Approved, Revised, Approved) that we currently have as white/black bubbles that we change manually on each page. I've been trying to find a way to speed up this process. I know that in InDesign you can create buttons than you can then click on-off on your PDF - we used to do this but it is too time consuming (we have PDF's anywhere from 25-120 pages). I have been playing around with Object States, so we can quickly update the bubbles in InDesign itself as we work.
Does anyone know of a way to change the state of multiple objects on multiple pages at the same time? (For example, if I want to change all pages to "Approved" at the same time - or if I only wanted to do some, but not all, of the pages.)
Can anyone recommend any other InDesign tools that may be able to create a similar function for an "approval" stamp, but that still is done in InDesign (not in the PDF after exporting)?

I was hoping that wouldn't be the only way. My have multiple master pages already, and not all pages will be "approved" at the same time. So we've run into issues with putting these on the masters as it gets easier to miss them.

Need help with If statement Please

Hi guys,
This is my first time posting and sorry if for some reason i post incorrectly.
I am having trouble figuring out what I am doing with my if Statement and why the compiler is giving me an error which says 'cannot find symbol';
Just incase you need to see the code here it is. And please any pointers would help me get back on track. And please dont laugh at the novice code i just started^^;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
public class Student
     public static void main(String[]args)
     Scanner scan=new Scanner(System.in);
     double std1, std2, std3, num1, num2, num3, num4;
     String a, answer1, name1;
System.out.println("Welcome to _____ program, press any button to continue: ")
a=scan.nextLine();
System.out.println("Good, would you like to enter a grade for a student(y/n)?");
answer1=scan.nextLine();
if (answer1 == y)
     System.out.println("Please enter the students name ");
                         name1=scan.nextLine();
                         System.out.println("Please label the test number ");
                         num1=scan.nextDouble();
                         System.out.println("Please enter the grade, "+name1+" recieved");
std1=scan.nextDouble();
if (answer1==n)
     System.out.println("Thank you for trying my program ");
else
System.out.println("It's obvious you couldn't follow a simple direction good bye ");

Thanks Flounder,
I'll keep in mind to edit the code the way you told me too.
As far as the code goes, what do you mean 'y' is not a string and should be a variable. All I'm trying to do is give a true false statement.
For example
if (input==y)
System.out.println("________");
And in my code it gives an error stating that y is a variable.
I dont understand why.
Thanks much for all your replies.

Need help with update statement with multiple joins

I've got the following select statement that is pulling 29 records:

peia.expenditure_type,
pec.expenditure_comment
FROM PA.PA_PROJECTS_ALL PPA,

update
pa.pa_expenditure_comments pec
set pec.expenditure_comment = 'REFERENCE HD#728'
where
First time that we've ever needed to update, so any and all help appreciated.

Try using exists:

set    pec.expenditure_comment = 'REFERENCE HD#728'
where exists ( select null

Need help with select statement or query

Not familiar with what to call it, but here is what i need...
To give our analyst a better idea of warranty on some of our
equipment, i
would like to add to the page a column that displays if the
device is still
under warranty
I currently capture the date the equipment was returned from
repair, so what
could i use within my select statement or query to display a
warranty
expiration date or display on the page...
example :
Returned from repair 10/20/2006 warranty expires on
11/20/2006
each equipment has different warranties, so i need a formula
or something to
say... device #1 has 60 day warranty ( so 10/20/2006 + 60days
=
12/19/2006 )
I would imagine this to be a query
Table 1 would contain the equipment type and warranty time
Table 2 would contain the current status of the equipment
Query would take the back from repair date + warranty =
expiration date

Simple. Join the two tables and create a derived column for
the expiration date. The exact syntax is dependant on your DBMS, so
check the manual for whichever you are using and look at the date
functions. There will be a function that will allow you to add a
number of date units (day, month, year, etc) to a date
field.

Need help with Loop Statements!!!

Hi
im a student just starting to learn Java. I have an assignment but am stuck on the folowing question:
"Describe the operation of the 'for' loop Flow Control statement explaining the function of the initialisation, conditional and iteration parts.
Also describe the operation for the 'while' loop Flow Control statement expaling the function of the initialisation, conditional and iteration parts."
Could someone please help answer it?
(Ive looked in some books but cant find much on asnwering it)
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks

"Could someone please help answer it?
(Ive looked in some books but cant find much on asnwering it)" - Yes
put this into a for loop so that it takes any number of arguments from the command line - eg
my name is Susie Woosie Floosie (and any number of additional names)
at present it will only output - eg
my name is Susie Woosie
public class forLoop{
   public static void main (String []args) {
      String firstName = args[0];
      String secondName = args[1];
      System.out.println("my name is "+firstName+" "+secondName);

Need help with if statements involving strings.

For this code, assume that I input a value that would make the boolean statement true. For some reason, this program will never return true. Can somebody please help me?
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
String personPlay;
boolean loop=false;
System.out.print("Enter a proper string(RPS): ");
personPlay=scan.nextLine();
          if (personPlay=="R"||personPlay=="P"||personPlay=="S")
               loop=true;

Don't use == to compare Strings. use .equals
if(personPlay.equals("R") || personPlay.equals("P") || personPlay.equals("S"))
     loop = true;

Need help with session state/item refresh

I have an application that allows users to record productivity information for our employees. There are different types of work they have to do, so the form is in header/multiple-detail form and uses collections to handle all processing. In the header portion are the fields that record the time of work. Though this is stored in the database as a single field for start of shift and single field for end of shift, in the entry it is split up into 9 fields: 3 for day, month, and year, and three more each for start hours, start minutes, AM/PM, end hours, end minutes, and AM/PM, which I then concatenate to get the dates to store. The update part works fine. When I go in to display each of these, I have to use an SQL query to retrieve only that section of the time.
The problem I am having is that if the user pulls up several timecards to edit them, it retains these time values from the previous timecard, and due to the way the collections refresh, I can't seem to get either item session state parameter (Only when Null/Always from Source) to achieve the desired result. If I use the Only When Null option, I retain the values from the previous timecard. If I use the Always from Source, the user can't update any of the time-related input.
Can anyone suggest a solution? I've tried a session state process that fires on entry to clear those items and ran into the same problem as using the Always From Source option. There has got to be a way to handle this, but it's got me stumped and my users are clamoring for a fix.
Page initial load
A. Before Header process populates job collection and other collection (not header info), which comes straight from DB table.
B. Data displays for Header (from table) and two detail sections (from collections)
User presses Submit to save changes
1. On Submit Before Processing: updates job and other collections (to preserve changes in case validation fails)
2. Validations check to make sure job codes are valid, date is valid, employee is valid, etc.
3. On Submit After Processing: Writes changes to header from input form, writes changes to job and other from collections to appropriate DB tables
I also have two On Submit After Processing processes to add blank lines - one for each collection. These are triggered via buttons.

Blair:
Does creating a 'before header' process to populate these fields make a difference ? The sql could be something like
select TO_CHAR(TC_START_TIME,'HH') into :P1115_TIME_IN_HH from TC where TC_ID = :P1115_TC_ID;You should set the 'Source Used' back to 'Only when current value in session is null' and the 'Source Type' to 'Static Assignment(....)' and clear out the 'Source value or expression' field.

Need help with the session state value items.

I need help with the session state value items.
Trigger is created (on After delete, insert action) on table A.
When insert in table B at least one row, then trigger update value to 'Y'
in table A.
When delete all rows from a table B,, then trigger update value to 'N'
in table A.
In detail report changes are visible, but the trigger replacement value is not set in session value.
How can I implement this?

You'll have to create a process which runs after your database update process that does a query and loads the result into your page item.
For example
SELECT YN_COLUMN
FROM My_TABLE
INTO My_Page_Item
WHERE Key_value = My_Page_Item_Holding_Key_ValueThe DML process will only return key values after updating, such as an ID primary key updated by a sequence in a trigger.
If the value is showing in a report, make sure the report refreshes on reload of the page.

Help with if statement in cursor and for loop to get output

I have the following cursor and and want to use if else statement to get the output. The cursor is working fine. What i need help with is how to use and if else statement to only get the folderrsn that have not been updated in the last 30 days. If you look at the talbe below my select statement is showing folderrs 291631 was updated only 4 days ago and folderrsn 322160 was also updated 4 days ago.
I do not want these two to appear in my result set. So i need to use if else so that my result only shows all folderrsn that havenot been updated in the last 30 days.
Here is my cursor:
/*Cursor for Email procedure. It is working Shows userid and the string
You need to update these folders*/
DECLARE
a_user varchar2(200) := null;
v_assigneduser varchar2(20);
v_folderrsn varchar2(200);
v_emailaddress varchar2(60);
v_subject varchar2(200);
Cursor c IS
SELECT assigneduser, vu.emailaddress, f.folderrsn, trunc(f.indate) AS "IN DATE",
MAX (trunc(fpa.attemptdate)) AS "LAST UPDATE",
trunc(sysdate) - MAX (trunc(fpa.attemptdate)) AS "DAYS PAST"
--MAX (TRUNC (fpa.attemptdate)) - TRUNC (f.indate) AS "NUMBER OF DAYS"
FROM folder f, folderprocess fp, validuser vu, folderprocessattempt fpa
WHERE f.foldertype = 'HJ'
AND f.statuscode NOT IN (20, 40)
AND f.folderrsn = fp.folderrsn
AND fp.processrsn = fpa.processrsn
AND vu.userid = fp.assigneduser
AND vu.statuscode = 1
GROUP BY assigneduser, vu.emailaddress, f.folderrsn, f.indate
ORDER BY fp.assigneduser;
BEGIN
FOR c1 IN c LOOP
IF (c1.assigneduser = v_assigneduser) THEN
dbms_output.put_line(' ' || c1.folderrsn);
else
dbms_output.put(c1.assigneduser ||': ' || 'Overdue Folders:You need to update these folders: Folderrsn: '||c1.folderrsn);
END IF;
a_user := c1.assigneduser;
v_assigneduser := c1.assigneduser;
v_folderrsn := c1.folderrsn;
v_emailaddress := c1.emailaddress;
v_subject := 'Subject: Project for';
END LOOP;
END;
The reason I have included the folowing table is that I want you to see the output from the select statement. that way you can help me do the if statement in the above cursor so that the result will look like this:
emailaddress
Subject: 'Project for ' || V_email || 'not updated in the last 30 days'
v_folderrsn
v_folderrsn
etc

I need to find the greatest grant year for the grant by a period parameter.
once i find the greatest year i need to check the value of period 14 for that grant for the previous year and add it to the budget amount for that grant. however if their is an entry in the greatest year for period 00 then i need to ignore the period 14 of previous year and do this calculation current period +(current period - greatest year 00)
hope that makes sense so in other words with the new data above. if i was querying period two of grant year 11. i would end up with $800
because the greatest year is 11 it contains a period 0 with amount of $400 so my total should be
period 2 amount $ 600
period 0 amount $ 400 - period 2 amount of $600 = 200
600+200 = $800
if i query period 1 of grant 360055 i would just end up with 800 of grnt year 10.
i have tried to modify that query you supplied to me with no luck. I have tried for several day but im embarrased to say i just can get it to do what im trying to do .
can you please help me out.
here is the query supplied by frank kulash who gracefully put this together for me.

Hi, Miguel,
Are you waying that, when the greatest year that has :given_period also has period='00' (or '0', or whatever you want to use), then you want to double the budget from the given_period (as well as subtract the budget from the '00', and not count the pevious year's '14')? If so, add another condition to the CASE statement which decides what you're SUMming:
WITH     got_greatest_year     AS
     SELECT       TO_NUMBER (fgl_grnt_year)     AS grnt_year

Need Help With File Matching Records

I need help with my file matching program.
Here is how it suppose to work: FileMatch class should contain methods to read oldmast.txt and trans.txt. When a match occurs (i.e., records with the same account number appear in both the master file and the transaction file), add the dollar amount in the transaction record to the current balance in the master record, and write the "newmast.txt" record. (Assume that purchases are indicated by positive amounts in the transaction file and payments by negative amounts.)
When there is a master record for a particular account, but no corresponding transaction record, merely write the master record to "newmast.txt". When there is a transaction record, but no corresponding master record, print to a log file the message "Unmatched transaction record for account number ..." (fill in the account number from the transaction record). The log file should be a text file named "log.txt".
Here is my following program code:

I am not sure what is wrong with my code above to make my results different from the correct results.
Much help is appreciated. Please help.

From the output, it looks like one problem is just formatting -- apparently you're including a newline in log entries and not using tabs for the newmast output file.
As to why the numbers are off -- just from glancing over it, it appears that the problem is when you add multiple transaction values. Since account.combine() is so simple, I suspect that you're either adding creating transaction objects incorrectly or not creating them when you should be.
Create test input data that isolates a single case of this (e.g., just the Mary Smith case), and then running your program in a debugger or adding debugging code to the add/combine method, so you can see what's happening in detail.
Also I'd recommend reconsidering your design. It's a red flag if a class has a name with "Create" in it. Classes represent bundles of independant state and transformations on that state, not things to do.
