Need help with RF Modulation

I have an F Jack (coaxial) jack coming from a wall plate I want the video signal to go to a Sharp DLP projector and the audio to go to an amp connected to 4 speakers. I need to find some way to convert the RF signal from an F-Jack to RCA or S-Video.
I have purchased an RCA CRF940 RF Modulator but I do not seem to be having any signal coming from the Audio-Video Output jacks after connecting the F-Jack connector from the wall plate.
I know the best way to make the conversion is with a simple DVD/VCR combo unit however, I cannot find a unit that has an F-Jack IN/OUT.
If anyone has a suggestion or suggestions I would appreciate it. By-the-way the RCE CRF940 also has S-Video ports as well. I had the same luck with those.
Thanks in Advance

Ok...I'm getting a better picture now.
You've got a reversed idea what that RF modualtor does. It takes an RCA feed and sends to out of the RF...not vice versa.
You will need to modify the in-wall wiring and the wall plate to accommodate RCA connections for this scenario to work.

Need help with the Modulation Toolkit to configure a QPSK Modulation

Hi! I'm
trying to build a CDMA system with the Modulation Toolkit to use it later with
a PXI-RF Product as a part of my thesis (I don't remember the exact model
number because it's in my university and I'm home right now, sorry). But my problem right now is, I assume, a very simple one.
I'm having
some trouble understanding the MT Modulate PSK.vi and the MT
Demodulate PSK.vi since I have them both connected and the output bit stream is
not the same as the input bit stream. I'm guessing it's a problem with the sync
parameters in the MT Generate Synchronization Parameter.vi because maybe I
don't really understand how the sync bits work. I tried using a simple
sync header but the output bit stream is always shorter than the input and shows
only a little portion of the input bit stream and some of the 1's I used to
create the sync header, and it gets worse when I increase the number of input
bits.
I'm
attaching the simple vi I created to try to understand the mod-demod vi's, so
if someone knows what I'm doing wrong it would be great if you let me know
since I'm stuck in my thesis and understanding this issue will let me continue
with the project.
Thanks a
lot in advance!
Daniel

Need Help with Function Module or BAPI for Stock Requirements & PIRs

Hello,
         I am working on making changes to a Report which should be displaying the PIR (Planned Independant Requirements) Quantities as well as Stock Requirements for SOs & STOs for below Type of Materials for the Given Date.
1. Planning Materials
2. Planned SKUs (that is Materials which do not have a Planning Material attached to them).
        In the Current Logic, we are using an FM REQUIREMENTS_ALLOCATION which fetches the Requirements only for the Planning Materials. It does not work for Planned SKUs.
So, is there any Function Module / BAPI which serves this Purpose for both types of Materisls?
   Also, I've managed to Find out two Function Modules which I thought might be useful but still need confirmation regarding the same.
MD_STOCK_REQUIREMENTS_LIST_API and
BAPI_MATERIAL_MRP_LIST
        Please suggest any other FM if available for this Requirement.
Thanks and Regards,
Venkat Phani Prasad Konduri

Basically, here is what my scenario is. I have two Types of Materials which have a Planning Material attached to it. and the Other Category is that it doesn't have a Planning Material attached to it. So, we call it a Planned SKU. That is a Material planned at the SKU level.
          Now, the Issue is , the Function Module REQUIREMENTS_ALLOCATION doesn't work for the Plannd SKUs but it only works for the Planning Material. Now, based on this Function Module, we are populating the Data for the Planning Materials of Material Type ZPLN. Similarly, is there any we can make this FM work for a Material which is planning at its own Level.
          Please help me in this Regard.
Thanks and Regards,

Need help with interface development

Hi i need help with requirement below with developing interface between or online order system and sap plz lemme know what is bapi i use for creating customer, update and assigining partner id to costumer.
SAP Development
1.     Using standards SAP functional module (with BAPI), create interface that will create/change Ordering party customer in SAP. Following fields are mandatory for customer creation:
     MANDT     Client
     VKORG     Sales organization
     VTWEG     Distribution Channel
     SPART     Division
     KDGRP     Customer Group (= ZORP)
     KUNNR     Customer number
     NAME1     Name 1
     NAME 2     Name 2 (if required)
     SORTL     Search term (short description)
     ZZALTKN     Search term 2 (old customer number)
     LAND1     Country
     ORT01     City
     PSTLZ      Zip Code
     REGIO      Region (state in USA)
     STRAS     Street
     TELF1     Primary telephone number
     TELFX     Primary Fax number
     ZZPRPLANS     Payment Plan
     CCINS     Payment card: Card type
     CCNUM     Payment cards: Card number
     CCDEF     Payment Card: Default Card Indicator
     ZBDGID     Customer Budget ID
     ZHOLD     Budget Hold indicator
     ZZCOSTCENT     Cost Center
2.     Upon successful customer creation system will issues S (success) message that customer has been created.
3.     New ordering party customer created in step ½, will have to be assigned as new partner to its belonging Sold-to/Ship-to customer. Use standard SAP customer functional module in order to perform this partner ID assignment. Partner ID for ordering party should be ZO.
1.7     Enhancement Functionality
Apart from creating a new interface to do the required functionality, the Order Create Interface also has to be changed to accommodate a field to pass the Ordering Party Number on the Order. The technicalities of how we are going to implement the interface will be laid out in the Tech Specs.
Thanks
in advance

Need help with navigation within a spark list...

hey guys, so in my application when you click on a list item, it opens up an image, and along with the image a few buttons are created dynamically...
the image and the url/labels for the dynamic buttons is provided through an xml/xmlListCollection.

The problem I am havving is the .LOCK file - when someone goes to review the module, they have to specify the location of a temp file. (the .lock file). When they have finished that module, then they have to either specify a new location for the next module, ot manually delete the lock file.
Is there a way to disable the comments logging feature, or have the lock file automatically deleted?
Thanks
Terry

Thank you.

Hi there
I'm not sure how you wound up where you did. But you wound up in the Adobe Captivate forums. Please stand by as I move your thread to the Flash forums.

Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service

Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of. I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit" issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
(and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks', "Adobe phone-in experiences")
Thank You,

Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
So I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself, I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products" to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE" button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is, how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
So after thinking this all out, and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year, I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however, if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending" with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly, and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add).., except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form.... Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of. First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time) of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one, basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it... and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly, the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4) If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that? Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...

Need help with trim and null function

Hi all,
I need help with a query. I use the trim function to get the first three characters of a string. How do I write my query so if a null value occurs in combination with my trim to say 'Null' in my results?
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. What am I doing wrong?
SELECT trim(SUBSTR(AL1.user_data_text,1,3)),NVL
(AL1.user_data_text,'XX')
FROM Table
I want the XX to appear in the same column as the
trim.The main thing you're doing wrong is not formatting your code. The solution may become obvious if you do.
What you're saying is:
SELECT trim ( SUBSTR (AL1.user_data_text, 1, 3))
,       NVL ( AL1.user_data_text, 'XX' )
FROM    Tablewhich makes it clear that you're SELECTing two columns, when you only want to have one.
If you want that column to be exactly like the first column you're currently SELECTing, except that when that column is NULL you want it to be 'XX', then you have to apply NVL to that column, like this:
SELECT NVL ( trim ( SUBSTR (AL1.user_data_text, 1, 3))
            , 'XX'
FROM    Table

How do I reset this if I cant log in? When I try to press online the same thing pops up and I have no way of logging in or asking for help.

Hi,
iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat (Until the 30th June 2014)
As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
Navigate to Preferences.
(If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.

Need help with Airport Express and so on.

Ok so my main problem before getting into what I need help with here is that our MacBooks and now my iPhone 6 plus isn't staying online. Keep getting booted off and then I either have to select the network again or it will eventually go back on. If anyone has a solution or so please feel free to answer that as well. I'm running on Roadrunner with a Netgear 600 wireless router and a motorola modem. Both of which I'll leave the link to below for a better look.
My Main Question: So I'm looking at a new wireless router mainly and possibly a new modem. I know Apple products are trustworthy but how good is the Airport Express and other Airport products. Also what is the Maximum speed and Maximum data speed for the cheapest express station and if anyone knows the speeds of the other devices it would be greatly appreciated.

DSL Router to Netgear 5-port Switch and I used the switch to connect to Airport Extreme, TV, Blue-Ray DVD player and DirecTV Receiver.
The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) is a router so it will do what you need.
You need to reconfigure your setup. Connect the WAN port of the AEBS to the DSL router. Then connect the Netgear switch to one of the LAN ports on the AEBS. The AEBS will properly share the connection.

I need help with shooting in my flash game for University

Hi there

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.
WITH     got_greatest_year     AS
     SELECT     fgl.*     -- or whatever columns are needed
     ,     MAX ( CASE
                 WHEN fgl_period = :given_period
                 THEN fgl_grnt_year
                END
              ) OVER ()     AS greatest_year
     FROM     fgl
SELECT     SUM (fgl_budget)     AS total_budget     -- or SELECT *
FROM     got_greatest_year
WHERE     (     fgl_grnt_year     = greatest_year
     AND     fgl_period     = :given_period
OR     (     fgl_grnt_year     = greatest_year - 1
     AND     fgl_period     = 14

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
     ,       fgl_period
     ,       TO_NUMBER (fgl_budget)     AS budget
     ,       MAX ( CASE
                   WHEN fgl_period = :given_period
                   THEN TO_NUMBER (fgl_grnt_year)
                  END
                ) OVER ()     AS greatest_year
     FROM       fgl
,     got_cnt_00     AS
     SELECT     grnt_year
     ,     fgl_period
     ,     budget
     ,     greatest_year
     ,     COUNT ( CASE
                   WHEN grnt_year     = greatest_year
                   AND       fgl_period     = '00'
                   THEN 1
                     END
                ) OVER ()          AS cnt_00
     FROM    got_greatest_year
SELECT       SUM ( CASE
                    WHEN grnt_year     = greatest_year                    -- New
              AND       fgl_period     = :given_period                    -- New
              AND       cnt_00     > 0            THEN budget * 2     -- New
                    WHEN grnt_year     = greatest_year
              AND       fgl_period     = :given_period       THEN budget
                    WHEN grnt_year     = greatest_year
              AND       fgl_period     = '00'            THEN -budget
                    WHEN grnt_year     = greatest_year - 1
              AND       fgl_period     = '14'
              AND       cnt_00     = 0            THEN budget
                END
           )          AS total_budget
FROM       got_cnt_00
;You'll notice this is the same as the previous query I posted, except for 3 lines maked "New".
