Need help with representing 2 bits of data in a column

I Need help representing only 2 bits of data in a column in order to save space.
Is that possible?

If you need to count bits to save space, then you must be on 70's, or early 80's, hardware. So using Assembler should not be a problem. Let me guess.. a 8051 microcontroller from the 1980?
Here's what the 8051 code and memory optimisation manual says:

in efficiency is to look for all variables that will have only
binary values (0 and not 0), and define them as type 'bit‘:
bit myVar;With bit variables, the full set of 8051 bit-level assembler
instructions can be used to generate very fast and
compact code. For example, the following C code:
myVar = ~myVar;
if (!myVar)
}Generates only two lines of assembler:
B200 CPL myVar
200006 JB myvar,?C0002This example uses only 5 flash bytes and 8 CPU cycles.
When you use bit variables, you can implement a
nontrivial line of C code with just one assembler
instruction.

Need help with code for adding dates to form

Hello forum goers
I'm new to making forms and figured out how to auto add the date, however I need the form to change the date for every copy made.
For example today is 06/08/2012 if I print 10 copies of the form it will output 10 pages ranging from 06/08/2012 to 06/17/2012. If code exists to do this I would be very gratefull to whoever helps, I also wouldn't mind if that is not possible for manually inputing the start / end dates.
Currently I print 15-30 copies of the form and hand write each of the dates but I'm just getting to busy to do that. I also cannot print one a day it must be in batches.
Thanks in advanced.

What you are asking for is more complex than just setting the current date. Each time the form prints it has to know that it has to change the date. I would suggest doing this.
First, setup a document level script to set the date to the current date. I suspect that you have already done this?
Next, Create a "DidPrint" document action to increment the date. To do this the script will need to scan the current text value of the date, add one day to it, and then reformat it. You'll find information on this type of scripting in these articles:

ipt-part-3
Since the increment happenes in the Did Print you will need to print each copy individually. If you enter 10 copies in the print dialog it won't work. You have to print one at a time. You can automate this activity with a console script.
One of the advantages of incrementing in the DidPrint is that you can also manually enter a date and it will increment from there.

Need help with RANK() on NULL data

Hi All
I am using Oracle 10g and running a query with RANK(), but it is not returning a desired output. Pleas HELP!!
I have a STATUS table that shows the history of order status.. I have a requirement to display the order and the last status date (max). If there is any NULL date for an order then show NULL.
STATUS
ORD_NO | STAT | DT
1 | Open |
1 | Pending |
2 | Open |
2 | Pending |
3 | Open |1/1/2009
3 | Pending |1/6/2009
3 | Close |
4 | Open |3/2/2009
4 | Close |3/4/2009
Result should be (max date for each ORD_NO otherwise NULL):
ORD_NO |DT
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |3/4/2009
CREATE TABLE Status (ORD_NO NUMBER, STAT VARCHAR2(10), DT DATE);
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(1, 'Open', NULL);
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(1, 'Pending', NULL);
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(2, 'Open', NULL);
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(2, 'Pending',NULL);
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(3, 'Open', '1 JAN 2009');
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(3,'Pending', '6 JAN 2009');
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(3, 'Close', NULL);
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(4, 'Open', '2 MAR 2009');
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(4, 'Close', '4 MAR 2009');
COMMIT;
I tried using RANK function to rank all the orders by date. So used ORDER BY cluse on date in descending order thinking that the null dates would be on top and will be grouped together by each ORD_NO.
SELECT ORD_NO, DT, RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY ORD_NO ORDER BY DT DESC)
FROM Status;
...but the result was something..
ORD_NO |DT |RANKING
*1 | | 1*
*1 | | 1*
*2 | | 1*
*2 | | 1*3 | | 1
3 |1/6/2009 | 2
3 |1/1/2009 | 3
4 |3/4/2009 | 1
4 |3/2/2009 | 2
I am not sure why didn't the first two ORD_NOs didn't group together and why ranking of 1 was assigned to them. I was assuming something like:
ORD_NO |DT |RANKING
*1 | | 1*
*1 | | 2*
*2 | | 1*
*2 | | 1*
3 | | 1
3 |1/6/2009 | 2
3 |1/1/2009 | 3
4 |3/4/2009 | 1
4 |3/2/2009 | 2
Please guide me if I am missing something here?

Need help with how to store data in array in from reading file

i have a file named xxx.txt
i need to retreive data from that file. the data that i want to retrieve is enclosed with << >>
temp xxx-123 ccc << 90.5>>
haha xxx-563 sss 85.2
after a few lines, the another record appear.
temp2 xxx-123 ccc << 190.5>>
haha2 xxx-563 sss 885.2
i would like to record down the data, 90.5 & 190.5, how do i go about doing so, will appreciated it if someone would guide me along. thanks

After you have read a line from the file either
find the location of << and >> and substring the stuff in between or
use regex (regular expression) however this is advanced and may be beyond your level of understanding.

Need help with dead blackberry / recovering data

Device: BlackBerry Curve 8320 (Tmobile)
A few days ago my BB Curve 8320 spontaneously just turned off and would not turn on again. No blinking light, nothing. Battery was fully charged, the phone is only 2 months old, and was not damaged in any way. Battery was pulled out and re-inserted no luck. Phone taken to T-mobile store and phone tested with new battery, and still no progress. T-mobile replaced the phone free of charge.
I am struggling to recover my addressbook, text messages, and photos from the old device. Every once in a while when the phone is plugged into the charger, the old device will display a battery with a diagnol red line through it. I have attempted to use the desktop manager to recover the data, but again no luck. Most of the time, it does not recognize the phone, and I have tried what has been suggested on multiple forums, with taking the battery out, catching the desktop manager for the split second it recognizes the device on the usb port. I have been successful with that, but it won't let me sync or backup the device. It allows me to load the application loader, but when i do this, it prompts me for .alx type application loader files, even though i have downloaded the device manager software from t-mobile, so I am unable to re-load the OS. I also attempted to use the switch device wizard. This also seemed like it was working. I was able to connect both curves to my computer through different USB ports and it seemed like it was doing something, but when it's all done with the process, my new device still does not have my old addresses or text messages.
If anyone has any suggestions / advice on restoring my old device without losing the onboard data or some way to access the data so I can import that into my new curve, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

I HAD A BB CURVE 8320, I TRY ALL THE PROGRAMS ANYTHING WORK. MY BB TURN ON N TURN BACK OFF. I TRY LETTING THE BRAND NEW BATTERY SEAT OUT FOR 3O SECONDS STILL DIDNT WORK. WHAT SHOULD I DEW SOMEONE PLZ HELP ME.

Need help with clearing on screen data

Hi all,
I have a transaction which works like SM30 (table maintenance). In my main screen, I have 50 blank fields (created by appending 50 blank rows to an internal table) on the ALV grid for user new entries with 2 buttons: Save and Delete. Once the user has entered the data and click on Save, it will validate the entries and put into internal table before saving into the database.
The problem arise when I want to delete the entries. When user click on Delete, it will clear the entries in the selected row. My problem is, how do I clear the data on the screen since this data is not yet inserted into internal table? These entries are new entries just entered by the users and not being put into internal table or in the database yet.

Once user press the delete button ,
in the user_command event you need to
first insert the values to internal table with delete flag in the internal table , then delete the line the user selected for delete,
then call
method "g_grid->refresh_table_display" after row has been deleted.

Help with writing and retrieving data from a table field with type "LCHR"

Hi Experts,
I need help with writing and reading data from a database table field which has a type of "LCHR". I have given an example of the original code but don't know what to change it to in order to fix it and still read in the original data that's stored in the LCHR field.
Basically we have two Function modules, one that saves list data to a database table and one that reads in this data. Both Function modules have an identicle table which has an array of fields from type INT4, CHAR, and type P. The INT4 field is the first one.
Incidentally this worked in the 4.7 non-unicode system but is now dumping in the new ECC6 Unicode system.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Anuj,
The unicode flag is active.
When I run our report and then to try and save the list data a dump is happening at the following point
LOOP AT T_TAB into L_WA.
As I say, T_TAB consists of different fields and field types whereas L_WA is CHAR 800. The dump mentions UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE
When I try to load a saved list the dump is happening at the following point
APPEND T_DATA-RAWDATA to T_TAB.
T_DATA-RAWDATA is type LCHR and T_TAB consists of different fields and field types.
In both examples the dumps mention UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE

Need Help with Dates

I am printing a calendar and certain events will be helds on certain dates.
One can edit the event if it has not passed the date. Events in the past can be viewed but not edited.
When I query the database the date must be formatted dd-MMM-yy
I am able to get today's date by doing this:
java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();
String formatString = "dd-MMM-yy";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(formatString);
String today_str = sdf.format(today);
My code for printing the calendar: I left out some of the table formatting in the JSP page.
GregorianCalendar d = new GregorianCalendar();
int today = d.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
int month = d.get(Calendar.MONTH);
d.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH,1);
int weekday = d.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
for(int i = Calendar.SUNDAY; i < weekday; i++)
out.print("<td> </td>");
do {
int day = d.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
out.print("<td>" + day + "</td>");
String formatString = "dd-MMM-yy";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(formatString);
//if(event exists on this day
// Get results
// print link for viewing
// if (after today) print link for edit
if(weekday == Calendar.SATURDAY)
out.println("</tr><tr valign=top>");
d.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH,1);
weekday = d.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
} while(d.get(Calendar.MONTH) == month);
if(weekday != Calendar.SUNDAY)
System.out.println();
The part I need help on is this:
//if(event exists on this day
// Get results
// print link for viewing
// if (after today) print link for edit
I'm looping through each day of the month to print the days. I have the month, day, year as integers. How can I create a date object out of that and compare it to today's date to test if it's before or after today???
All the function in the Date class that I think would do this have been deprecated.

Need Help with Dates
Here is some information about dates:
There are many edible palm fruits, and one of the most widespread and favored of these is the data (Phoenix dactylifera). Dates were cultivated in ancient land from Mesopotamia to prehistoric Egypt, possibly as early as 6000 B.C. Then--as now--dates were a staple for the natives of those dry regions. Much later, Arabs spread dates around northern Africa, and dates were introduced into California by the Spaniards in 1765, around Mission San Ignacio.
The date prefers dry, hot climates, because date fruits are injured at temperatures of 20 degrees F, and the damp climate of the California coast was not favorable for fruit production. In the mid-1800s, the date industry developed in California's hot interior valleys and in Arizona. Now the date industry in the United States is localized mostly in the Coachella Valley, where the sandy soils permit the plants to be deeply irrigated. Today the new varieties, mostly introduced in this century, produce about 40 million pounds of dates per annum, or over 60% of the dates consumed in this country. The rest are imported mainly from Persia. According to one survey, about one million people are engaged entirely in date palm cultivation worldwide.
Hope that helps.

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".

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.

Need help with representing 2 bits of data in a column
