Need to limit amount of visible characters in a field

I have a page that displays a list of projects. One of the
fields is a description field and I'm trying to figure out how to
have the description field display only about 200 characters
instead of the whole description. Ideally, I'd like to have a link
titled 'expand' to show the whole description in that field. The
data is part of a Spry Dataset so the field in the table is called
{system_description}. Are there any examples out there on how to do
this?

OpenSQL doesn't have a SUBSTRING statement as it does in PL-SQL. You could select the data into a work area and then do a substring on the field into a varaible within the code. Something like:
DATA: l_char9(9) TYPE c.
SELECT
char30
FROM
table_a
ENDELECT.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
l_char9 = table_a-char30+0(9).
ENDIF.

How to accomodate more than 255 characters in character field

HI All
i need to accomodate more than 255 characters in character field. How can i do that ?
thanks in advance!!!

Hi,
You can try the following things:
1. Use a datatype STRING and check it will work.
2. In se11 transaction goto datatype and search for char* in data elements.
You will find predefined data types ,you can make use of it.
For eg. char2000,char3000,char4000 etc.
Hope this will help.

How do I limit the number of characters allowed in an input form and then how do I limit the number of lines?

I'm selling Classified Advertising in a newspaper and I want my visitor to be able to enter their own ads.
They need to be limited to 30 characters/line with a limit of 4 lines. (120 characters total).
How can I use html or css to limit the input to 30 characters per line and then limit them to 4 lines?
Is that possible?
Thanks so much.
Dale

I would place 4 text fields and use the maxlength attribute. Setting maxlength="30" will stop any more than 30 characters from being entered into any given text field...
<p>
<label for="textfield">Line 1:</label>
<input type="text" name="textfield" id="textfield" maxlength="30">
<br>
<label for="textfield2">Line 2:</label>
<input type="text" name="textfield2" id="textfield2" maxlength="30">
<br>
<label for="textfield3">Line 3:</label>
<input type="text" name="textfield3" id="textfield3" maxlength="30">
<br>
<label for="textfield4">Line 4:</label>
<input type="text" name="textfield4" id="textfield4" maxlength="30">
</p>

Numeric field limit length to visible area

I have a pdf saved as Dynamic XML Forms with a numeric field checked to limit length to visible area, but the "limit to visible area" option does not work. If save the same pdf as Static Form works fine.
Can someone provide an example or tell me how to solve it?
Thanks in advance

In the change event you can place the following script (Java Script)
if(xfa.event.newText.length >maxLength)xfa.event.change = "";
Replace the "maxLength" with the maximum numbers you want the user to enter..
This way it can stop the user to enter more characters after reaching the maxLength.
Thanks

C4T:RLU limit amounts

Dear colleagues,
We received a inquiry recently, since we didn't have experience on Travel onDemand. thus, can you help to check if below requirements is feasible?
thanks a lot!
* In 1405 there is the functionality to set up RLU’s with limit amounts to have the approval go to those RLU’s with the correct authorisation amount on the expense approval. DFS use the cost centre manager for approvals on the expense claim so they require:
The same functionality but the first approver is a Cost Centre Manager not a line manager
Could have multiple Cost Centre Managers for approval & each of their limits needs to be read
If any of the Cost Centre Manager limits are below the expense part for their approval then the approval needs to go to the cost centre manager’s line manager & then on up the hierarchy (so same functionality as RLU in 1405)
They use RLU’s for their Requests so this needs to be replicated
* This is on the Expense claim approval
Besides, do you know how to configure the different limit amount for each Cost Center Manager, can provide a screenshot or guideline?
you can contact me via: [email protected]
Best Regards,
Qiang Zhu

Hello Qiang,
I have clarified your post with Peter, I hope you got relevant customer specific information via mail.
After 1405 latest Approval Configuration & Use case will be available in help center.

How to limit the number of characters a label displays?

Can someone please tell me how I can limit the number of characters a label displays from the text property?

Ok. What I am trying to do is display a number with the format
x.yy
I need the display to show all characters all the time. For example let me show you what I currently get and what I require.
Current     Require
0               0.00
0.1            0.10
etc
To me its like the label is truncating the number appropriately and I dont want it to do that. I need a fixed 4 character format.
Hope this clears it up.

VKM4 credit limit amount

Hello,
I have the issue in vkm4 report in which credit limit amount shown in thousands.
kindly tell me how i get the total value of credit limit in VKM4 report.
thanx in advance.

Hi Danish,
There is no customizing on this as it is hardcoded. To force system to show limit not in thousands you need to modify FORM tausender_werte in include RVALVFORMS and comment out the line for field KLIMK (marked wit arrow below):
FORM tausender_werte.

We need to transfer amount from one profit center to another profit centers

Dear Gurus,
We need to transfer amount from one profit center to another profit centers, wrongly posted how to do it?
GL 600000 Sales a/c Domestic,
around 5000 FI documents has post in worn profit center
In the billing with material line items showing the correct profit center.
we want reverse the GL 600000 a/c in our system what will be the impact in COPA Reporting. and how to do it?
Pls advice me for the above said issues as we are nearing the year end pls help me.
Thanks..Srirama

Hai,
You can do profit center posting 9ke0
Profit center will derive from Material in your case it seems some subtitution changing the correct profit center in material master and putting this wrong profit center
Profit center is not the deciding factor for COPA reports so there wouldn't be any impact in COPA report

File Adapter -- Need to limit the number of files picked up

One of my trading partners sends a .zip file. The zip file contains check images and an index file. The Index File is the same name every time.
So, if the trading partner sends two zip files, we will lose the index file. We need to limit the contents to a single file at a time.
Secondarily, the file adapter also runs at a specific interval...evey X seconds. Is there a method to "fire" the FTP channel at a specific time? Say for example at 6:30am every day?

Hi,
To handle ur first requirement, you can use the OS Commands option in the file adapter. (you have to play around with the options like archiving etc )

TS3694 Error 3014 when trying to load ios6. I have cleared 2.5GB on the phone as it seems you need that ridiculous amount of space. Every time it just gives me 3014 error code within a minute of trying to download? Any help?

Error 3014 when trying to load ios6. I have cleared 2.5GB on the phone (4s) as it seems you need that ridiculous amount of space. Every time it just gives me 3014 error code within a minute of trying to download? Any help?

All,
I thought it may be related to spaces in the path in which the script was called from. I tried having the ODBC command script in another directory but the same thing happens. It will give me the "CONFIGSYSDSN: Unable to create a data source for the 'Oracle in OraClient10g_home1' driver: Could not load the setup or translator library with error code -2147467259". As soon as the script is done running I can manually double click the script and it adds the DSN fine.
Thanks,

I need to limit the range of my wireless router WRT54G - Any ideas are appreciated.

I need to limit the range of my wireless router WRT54G - Any ideas are appreciated. I don't want to put on a password if I can avoid it. Thanks for you advice in advance. Milwaukie

Trying to confine a wireless signal to your home is not a practical solution to security concerns. The distance that a wireless signal will travel is mainly limited by the receiving antena and sensitivity of the receiver. An ordinary wireless receiver can probably pick up your signal for 200 to 1000 feet. A great receiver could probably pick up your signal from a mile or more. The best alternatives are:
a) convert your system to a wired system, or,
b) encrypt your wireless using a good encryption method (WPA or preferably WPA2) and use a strong password.

Need to check whether first two characters of a string is Alphabets or not

Hi,
Need to check whether first two characters of a string is alphabet or not.
Lets say for Ex,
String as 'DE123456' i need to check whether first character is non-numeric and then second character as non numeric.
kindly help me on this.
                IF length(trim(p_parserec(31))) = 22 AND p_parserec(31) LIKE 'DE%' THEN
                    AUFTRAGGEBERKONTONR := trim(p_parserec(31)) ;
                 ELSIF (length(trim(p_parserec(31))) > 22 AND length(trim(p_parserec(31))) < 35) AND p_parserec(31) NOT LIKE 'DE%' THEN
                   AUFTRAGGEBERKONTONR := lpad(trim(p_parserec(31)), 34, 0) ;
                 ELSIF length(trim(p_parserec(31))) > 10 AND ascii(substr(p_parserec(31), 1, 2)) between 48 and 57 THEN
                   AUFTRAGGEBERKONTONR := lpad(trim(p_parserec(31)), 10, 0) ;
                 ELSE
                    p_errorcd   := sqlcode ;
                    p_errordata := sqlerrm ;
               END IF ;
Note : In the third else if condition the character should be greater than 10 and first 2 characters should not be alphabets.

To this requirement only regexp_like will work too! No need of some other string function!
Like:-
        -- in regexp_like last parameter shows to ignore case (optional).
SQL> with t as
2 (select 'AB123456' as key from dual union all
3 select 'CD234567' from dual union all
4 select 'A1234567' from dual union all
5 select 'A52H4341' from dual union all
6 select 'Dk274341' from dual union all
7 select 'DE234556' from dual)
8 select key
9 from t
10 where regexp_like(key,'^[A-Z]{2}','i') -- even '^[[:alpha:]]{2}' or '^\D{2}' pattern can be replaced for same result..
11 /
KEY
AB123456
CD234567
Dk274341
DE234556
Thanks!

Limit on Number of Characters in a Cell

All - I'm new to the iWork suite. Anyway, in MS Excel, there is a limit to the number characters a cell can hold. Something like 256 I think. While you can add more than that to a cell, the text that exceeds the 256 limit will be lost if you try to copy/move the cell. Is there a limit like this in the Numbers 09 application? If so, does anyone know what it is?

Not a guaranteed responce.
I pasted a long text (an applescript) in a single cell.
It was truncated .
The cell contain : 1698 characters, 1393 if we don't count spaces chars.
With an other text, the final contents was 2110 characters, 1806 if we don't count spaces chars.
In the index.xml file, the text is stored in a complicated way : there is one descriptor for each 'word'.
This may explain the reported difference.

Limit the number of characters in Text Components

I'm trying to limit the number of characters in text components. So I use the follow KeyListener:
private class KeyHandler extends KeyAdapter{
String oldText;
private KeyHandler(){ }
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent ev){
String newText = textField.getText();
System.out.println("Old text: " + this.oldText); //debug
System.out.println("New text: " + newText); //debug
if(newText.length() < limit){
this.oldText = newText + ev.getKeyChar();
}else{
textField.setText(this.oldText);
if(textField.getCaretPosition() + 1 > limit)
textField.setCaretPosition(limit - 1);
But the problem is that after that, the last key is typed in the component and the last key always appear.
�Does anyone know the way for consume the key presses?
Thank you

(Belongs in the Swing forum.)
The callback method keyTyped comes after keyPressed and keyReleased.
The event.consume() should consume the event.
Consider cut/copy/paste.
Maybe a addPropertyChangeListener would be better?
