Need the opposite of the Mid function for String fields

My report has a field for last name and I only want the first 14 letters of each last name to show on the report. I figured out how to show the letters beyond 14 using the Mid function. Is there a function to show the first 14 (ie., the opposite of the Mid function)?

Hi Shannyn,
Use this formula:
Left(,14)
This will give you the first 14 letters of each last name field.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Zack H.

Can I restore the prior File print command functionality for Google maps?

Printing Google Maps, recently the file command on Firefox only prints the map and not the directions also. The map and directions both used to print. I am aware that there is the print link near the map, this prints a much larger map and causes trouble with our ISA server. This link requires full access to the Google.com site. We have restricted access to the maps.google.com for employee productivy reasons. My question is can I restore the prior printing functionality? The printing works fine with I.E.

It's either that or finding other software for your scanning needs. For example, Image Capture comes with OS X, VueScan 9.2.09, ExactScan Pro 2.24.
Alternatively, partition your hard drive and install Snow Leopard on another volume.
To resize the drive do the following:
1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
2. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive. Use the Snow Leopard installer DVD to install Snow Leopard on your new volume.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.

Why does my Dreamweaver do the opposite of the tutorial in "Digital Classroom by Jeremy Osborn/AGI"

Hello my name is Rich and I’ve recently purchased the Digital Classroom book by Jeremy Osborn and the American Graphics Institute for DreamWeaver CS5.5.
I have been trying to follow along with the lessons on the disc but I’m having trouble getting my divs to stack up below my header the way the instructor shows on the disc provided.
The disc describes and shows the instructor creating a div for the container. next he draws an AP Div for the header...my problem is, when I add additional divs for my navigation bar, sidebar, body and footer, the divs all stack up at the top of my page, over top of the header! when I go into code view from there, I can clearly see that the divs are in order beneath the “header” just how they should be.
In the instructional video, when I switched from lesson 5 to lesson 6, the instructor had already inserted other divs (probably to save time) he did however show how to add additional divs but his divs all stacked up below his header!
What gives? Just for kicks, I tried doing the exact same thing only I didn’t create the header using the “AP Div” button, I used the “insert div” button. I worked my way upwards starting with the footer, then my sidebar, body, navigation bar and then my header. Does the header need to be created with the AP Div button?
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
Sincerely,
Rich Christman

How to achieve same functionality for String as java in oracle 10g

Example:
In java if I use
--------------->>>
String.format("%03d", 11) then it will give me result 011
String.format("%03d", 1111) then it will give me result 1111
I need same result in Oracle also for a stored procedure. I have used to_char() and lpad() both the function but couldn't get the desirable.
I'm new to this. Please forgive for this silly question and help me.

to_char, like this:
with my_tab as (select 11 col1 from dual union all
                select 1111 col1 from dual union all
                select 8 col1 from dual)
-- end of mimicking data in a table called my_tab
select col1, to_char(col1, 'fm9999099')) formatted_col1
from   my_tab;
      COL1 FORMATTED_COL1
        11 011
      1111 1111
         8 008 ETA: You need to make sure that the format mask in the to_char has enough characters to hold the largest number, and that the zero is in the position you want smaller numbers to be padded to (eg. in the example above, the 0 is in the 3rd from the right position).
Edited by: Boneist on 22-Apr-2010 11:34
ETA2: as reminded by odie_63, the fm in the format removes the spaces from the resulting string.

Require user specific F4 functionality for a field in a program output

Dear all,
My requirement is i am using a field for ex: bukrs, name1 for an output. when iam using this two field in a program, if that program executes, i need F4 functionality for user specific. f4 functionality should show depends upon the name1.
In a template i have these two variables, when i give name1 as 'ABCD' and press f4 for the bukrs it should display only bukrs which are mapped to ABCD. Lets assume one table is there for name1 mapper to bukrs.
How it is possible. if so please let me know.

Arani Bhaskar

Hello Arani,
I think solution to your problem lies in using MATCHCODE addition to parameters and select-options as well.
(This is from SAP F1-Help)
... MATCHCODE OBJECT search_help
*Effect*
This addition links the input field of the parameter to a search help search_help from the ABAP Dictionary. The name of the search help must be entered directly. For the input field of the parameter on the selection screen, the input help key is displayed. When the input help (F4) is requested, the user is displayed the hit list from the search help. When an entry is selected, the respective value is placed into the input field. If no search help for the specified name exists in the ABAP Dictionary, a message is displayed in the status line when the input help is requested.
The addition MATCHCODE OBJECT cannot be used together with the additions AS CHECKBOX or RADIOBUTTON.
*Note*
The predecessors of search helps in the ABAP Dictionary were socalled matchcode objects. This is why you have the name MATCHCODE OBJECT for this addition. Matchcode objects that have not yet been replaced by search helps continue to be supported by this addition.
*Example*
Linking the parameter p_carrid with a suitable search help. When you choose the input help on the selection screen, a list with the names of the airline carriers is displayed. If a name is selected, the corresponding abbreviation is placed in the input field.
PARAMETERS p_carrid TYPE s_carr_id
MATCHCODE OBJECT demo_f4_de.
Moreover, please read about using MATCHCODE, hope it helps you, Arani.
Thanks: Zahack

Does anybody know a reliable hashCode-function for strings?

Hello,
I would like to exchange hashcodes between clients and server, both running at different jre's (even msjvms are running it) - and for the same string they should be identical.
Javadoc mentions that Object.hashCode() may vary from imlpementation, but I would need an implementation which would be consistent across jvms.
Does anybody know a reliable function which does compute a integer-hash-value out of string?
Reliable means that its quite unlikely that two different strings get the same hash-value (although I know this cannot be guaranteed 100%).
Thanks in advance, lg Clemens

Even the hashcode() API points out that
it is just a suggestion that it returns the memory
address of an object, an implementation that might
differ from other JVMs. So if you'd rely on that
behaviour, you'd need to check JVM vendors as well.True, and that is why you shouldn't rely on the fact that Object.hashCode returns the memory address, but I think it's safe to rely on the fact that String.hashCode returns the same hashCode on all platforms (if they are using the same Java version).
The javadoc for String.hashCode says:
     * Returns a hash code for this string. The hash code for a
     * <code>String</code> object is computed as
     * <blockquote><pre>
     * s[0]*31^(n-1) + s[1]*31^(n-2) + ... + s[n-1]
     * </pre></blockquote>
     * using <code>int</code> arithmetic, where <code>s</code> is the
* <i>i</i>th character of the string, <code>n</code> is the length of
* the string, and <code>^</code> indicates exponentiation.
* (The hash value of the empty string is zero.)
* @return a hash code value for this object.
So that contract must be fulfilled by all implementations.

REPORT_ATTRIBUTE_ERROR_MESSAGE functionality for Input Field & Drop down UI

Hi,
We have requirement to handle error messages. In a data input form, if we get multiple errors we are displaying all errors in a message area. When we click on error message, focus should go to the UI element which causes to the error.
We have used 'CALL METHOD lo_message_manager->report_attribute_error_message' by exporting the element and attribute name. This method works fine incase of Input Field type UI element. When we run the application on DISPLAY action errors are displaying for both fields 'INPUT FIELD' and 'DROPDOWNBYINDEX' . But we have URL on the error related to 'INPUT FIELD' and when we click on error message control/cursor going to the INPUT FIELD.
But we could not find same functionality incase of DropDownbyIndex UI Element.
Please help us to resolve the problem. Does SAP Web Dynpro ABAP provide this functionality?

Hi venki,
The problem you have told that when you are displaying the error message for input box and drop down by idx using the report_attribute_error_message. Then you click on the error message raised by input box , the focus goes to the input box but the same thing will not happen with the dropdownbyidx.
I have also try the same this its not working for dropdownbyidx but it is working for dropdownbykey.
You can try this.

Can someone help?
Is there anyways of making this simple?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Jason,
thank you very much with the note 1388298 our
Z-fields on the web-dynpro for "Item Basic Data" are visible now.
We have also Z-fields for "Account Assignment".
This fields are still not available.
Is it also possible to add these fields with component configuration?
I haven't found anything in the oss.
You will get 10 points because my original question has been answered.
Thanks in advance for your help!!

RfcSet.... function for RFC_BCD fields.

Hello:
I am using nwrfcsdk to call a SAP remote function, the IMPORT parameter of this function includes a DEC field which I defined as:
RFC_BCD maxNivAprob = 2;
in a C++ calling program.
There is no an RfcSetBdc function so, which RfcSetu2026 should I use to send this value to the Remote Function? Do you have an example?
Regards.

I solved my problem and I share it:
In the ABAP remote function I defined an IMPORT field parameter as:
VALUE(I_MAXNIV_APROB) LIKE HRRHAS-TDEPTH
(HRRHAS-TDEPTH is defined as DEC with length of 5).
Using the nwrfcsdk and C++ language, I defined that field in the next way:
SAP_UC * maxNivAprob = "00005"; // or SAP_UC * maxNivAprob = " 5"; // four spaces before 5
I set the parameter in the next way:
RfcSetNum(fnh, cU("I_MAXNIV_APROB"), maxNivAprob, strlenU(maxNivAprob), &errorInfo);
And it worked.
Regards.

F4 / Help Functionality for input field in custom java iView

Hi,
As we see many F4 help on each input field in a transaction, how can we mimic the same functionality in a Custom Java iView. For example, ME23N, you can search a PO based on some criteria, when i create a new custom java iview using BAPI_PO_DISPLAY, how can provide that F4 or help functionality to the Purchase Order field.
Your help is really appreciated.
Thanks,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
the F4 Help functionality is always of big concern when you're switching from a R/3 or ABAP-SAP GUI environment to a webfront end. First of all: the convinience you're used to of creating a seach help and adding it to your data fields is gone, i.e. the current development status in the portal/java/webdynpro implies that you have to do most of the work on your own. Simple value helps might not be a problem, but complex ones are (as the one you've described). Here is a link to a tutorial in Java-webdynpro, maybe it gives you an idea:
