Need to Number Rows in a Form

Hello--I am developing a form in LiveCycle to track items of software. There is a table with the first row visible and the user can click on a button to add a row or delete a row (except the original first row). I have all that working. I would like to number each row as the user adds or deletes the rows. The first row is number 1 (this row cannot be deleted). I cannot get a script to work from the Add a Row button to generate a new row number. Could anyone give me any ideas or if this is even a possibility?
Thanks for your help,
Pam Whitson

Thanks very much, Tony, for your help.
What I'm trying to do is to create a master-detail form app in which I display
a varying number of rows in a tabular form (this is the detail part of my page)
depending upon a property type of the master item.
Using the SCOTT DEPT and EMP tables as an example, if the "master" report
section of my Apex page shows Dept 10, then I want the "detail" section
to display 25 rows in a tabular form. Some of these 25 rows may be totally
empty while others may be filled in. The empty rows could be anywhere
within this group of 25 - in the middle, at the beginning, at the end, etc.
All of then should be editable and would be processed when the user clicks
an "Apply Changes" button.
If a "master" Dept 20 row is chosen, then the "detail" tabular form should display
40 rows, again with some filled in while others may be empty.
This is what I'm not sure how to do. How do I control the total number of editable
rows in the tabular form "detail" section depending upon a property of the chosen
"master" row?
Thanks for any help.

How to find out the current number of rows in a form without navigation

Hi.
Is there any way to count the rows in a form (block) without navigation to the last record?

you can just go to to the block, call the last_record build-in and find out, where the cursor is.
But with this you call restrictred procedures and their are not everywhere allowed ...
If you execute a query on a block, may not all records getting retrieved from database.
For this forms does not know, how many records are really in the block and
for this there is no build-in like get_block_property ( records_count ).It does exist indeed. GET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('BLOCK',QUERY_HITS);
Of course, this will return the number of records that would get fetched to the block (based on the where condition), but not the records with NEW status (i.e new records which are not yet committed).

Difference of number of rows in VC form

Hello,
I have imported the query into VC, done the required mappings and deployed it. I am expecting to see about 200 rows in my form instance. But am seeing just one row. I have double checked from bex. The form instance in bex is able to pull all 200 rows. Can any one tell me what could be the problem here?
I am out of ideas.
Thanks,
Kiran

The table should have a scrollbar or more than 1 page if it doesn't fit to the number of rows. You can adjust the number of rows in design time at layout. Just resize the table until there are as many rows as you like. It doesn't extend automatically.

Advice please, best way to handle creating X number of input / edit forms

Hi folks,
Like the subject says, looking for a bit of advice. Let's say on page 1, we select a customer, and this customer has X number of pets (usually < 4). They click a check box for each one they want to schedule, and submit. The next page reads the collection and needs to display an input / edit form for each of the pets. What is the best way to go about making this happen?
Thanks very much,
-Adam vonNieda

Why not use a tabular form and when you call the form, create how ever many rows you need for the number of pets selected?
Thank you,

Add multiple rows in detail form in master detail form

Hi,
I have a master detail form to enter survey responses. The master form captures the participant information and the detail form will carry the survey responses. After entering the master record, I need the detail rows to be populated with the survey questions stored in another table. The respondent will then update the response for each row in the detail form. Only after all the responses are filled out, clicking the save button should the detail records be committed.
Is there a good way to achieve this.
Thanks in advance
Gopal

Sorry, did not check OTN until this afternoon. Busy checking existing Apex pages on my project :)
Our region to populate the tabular form has the tabular form fields defined as Display As Text (saves state). Non-enterable fields are defined as "Display as Text (saves state)". A tabular form results from these definitions.
Because Apex won't generate code to handle multipe row tabluar form inserts we wrote our own as an After Submit PL/SQL process, something like
DECLARE
v_rows_found_n number;
BEGIN
--code for debugging
raise_application_error(-20000,'Hello World: '||
    apex_application.g_f03(12)||':'||
    apex_application.g_f04(12)||':'||
    apex_application.g_f05(12)||':'||
for i in 1..apex_application.g_f01.count loop
    BEGIN
      --attempt update first
      update whatever
         set field4 = apex_application.g_f05(i)
       where field1 = apex_application.g_f03(i)
         and field2 = apex_application.g_f04(i)
         and field3 = apex_application.g_f02(i);
      v_rows_found_n := SQL%rowcount;
    --if no rows were updated perform an insert
    if (v_rows_found_n = 0) then
       insert into oe_metric_values(
         field1,         --1
         field2,         --2
         field3,         --3
         field4          --4
      values(
        apex_application.g_f02(i), --1: field1
        apex_application.g_f03(i), --3: field2
        apex_application.g_f04(i), --2: field3
        apex_application.g_f05(i) --4: field4
    end if; --did update operate on any rows?
--exception
-- when others then
--    raise_application_error(-20000,'i'||':'||
--      apex_application.g_f03(i)||':'||
--      apex_application.g_f04(i)||':'||
--      apex_application.g_f05(i)||':'||
    END; --internal loop block
end loop; --loop through tabular form submit elements
end; --pl/sql blockI had to get the identities of the f01, f02 etc. identifiers by looking at the HTML code in the rendered form because Apex assigns those values as it will. Anytime the column display changes in any way i have to go through and make sure the identifers have not changed.
Hope this helps.

In order confirmation i need invoice number and delivery number.

Dear Experts,
I need invoice number and delivery number in order confirmation.
how can i get the delivery number an invoice number.
Program name: RVADOR01
Regards
Ahmed

Hi
In the Order confirmation Only sales order details will be there
You better write a PERFORM statement in Script and in the subroutine fetch the Delivery number and Invoice number with the following links and display them in script
LIPS-VGBEL = VBAK-VBELN
LIPS-VGPOS = VBAP-POSNR
VBRP-AUBEL = VBAK-VBELN
VBRP-AUPOS = VBAP-POSNR
You can also can use the VBFA table
using Prev doc type = C (order) and Subsequent doc type = J to get the Delivery
and Sunsequent type = M for getting the Invoice Number
see the sample code for subroutine
REPORT ZMPO1 .

How to delete empty table row in the form using formcalc

Hi All,
I am displaying a table in PDF which has a few empty rows in between. I need to delete those specific rows when the form is generated, so that they do not appear on the form.
Has anyone worked on this before? If so, can you please share the code or advise.
Regards
Aditi

Hello,
first: there MUST be same backend you get the data from right? So in this backend there is some data extraction coding, right? So the result of this coding is bad, like some unwanted extra rows are returned in the proper set of rows, right? So why don´t you change this backend coding not to return the unwanted rows?
IF that is not possible (I don´t believe this!), but just to describe other possibilities, you can place a script on the row subform event like initialize and test if there is something missing there and if so, set the presence of such a row to hidden.
JS: If (this.fieldA.rowValue == "") { this.presence = "hidden"; }

How to stop insert of new row in tabular form if it's also being deleted

Suppose you have a tabular form, and one of the fields is a not-null column. A user checks a button to "add additional row", which adds a new row to the form, defaulting that not-null column to null. Assume it's a name or something, so there is no reasonable non-null default value that can be entered here to keep it from being null.
Now suppose the user makes a series of changes on the page, but then decides they don't want that row they just added, so they mark it for deletion, then click on "Delete Checked Rows". The not-null column was left blank.
The page is constructed in such a way that the ApplyMRD process runs first, then the ApplyMRU process. (I do this so that the user doesn't lose all their updates if they want to delete a row. I've had a few people complain when they tried to combine both operations, and unexpectedly lost their updates when they hit delete instead of submit.)
What happens? The page errors out because the ApplyMRU process is trying to insert a row with a null value in a not-null column. The ApplyMRD process ran fine, but because the row marked for deletion didn't exist in the database to begin with, it effectively did nothing. But ApplyMRU still tries to add the row, even though it was marked for deletion.
Is there any way to prevent this scenario from happening, without requiring the user to Cancel instead of deleting the blank row, which would cause all other changes on the page to be lost? I'd also like to avoid losing the ApplyMRU process when the user clicks "Delete", since it's more effective to combine operations and this will address the UI complaints I'd received otherwise.
(This is on ApEx 4.0, if it matters.)
Thanks,
Keith

Thinking about this some more, doing the delete and update together may not be an easy thing to accomplish after all.
Consider the above scenario, but the user puts a dummy value like "ignore-me" into the not-null text field, so the error doesn't come up with ApplyMRU is fired. But if ApplyMRD runs before ApplyMRU, it still doesn't do anything because there is no row in the database with the value "ignore-me". Then ApplyMRU runs and it adds that row, even though it was marked for deletion.
So you probably need to always run ApplyMRU before ApplyMRD. But then you wind up inserting a row before you delete it, and that may have unintended side effects, if the user really never wanted to add it in the first place.
Right now, the only workaround I can think of is to:
1) put ApplyMRU before ApplyMRD
2) add a pre-commit validation that checks to see if a row is blank AND checked, and if so, put a dummy value into the not-null field
3) let that row get added and then deleted, and make sure there are no side effects from this (for example, there is an audit table that tracks updates to the base table -- I can add a trigger that does nothing if presented with this dummy value)
Hopefully, though, there is an easier and more "built-in" way to achieve what I'm aiming for.

Regarding creation of document number for user defined form

Hi all,
we had created a form , but we don't no how to generate document number as in sap
we created but it is not creating automatically
after adding only it is showing that number in series
but i need that number at the time of opening only

hi srvanth
Use this code in a data binding of the form to load automatically the doc numbers
    ds = oform.DataSources.DBDataSources.Add("@TODACT")
        oform = oapp.Forms.ActiveForm
        Dim reset As SAPbobsCOM.Recordset
        Dim qsr As String
        reset = ocompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset)
        qsr = "SELECT max(T0.DocNum) as c FROM [dbo].[@TODACT] T0"
        reset.DoQuery(qsr)
        If reset.Fields.Item("c").Value <= 0 Then
            a = 1
        Else
            a = (reset.Fields.Item("c").Value) + 1
        End If
        oitem = oform.Items.Item("doct")
        oedit = oitem.Specific
        oedit.DataBind.SetBound(True, "@TODACT", "DocNum")
        oedit.Value = a
this will load document number everytime you load the form at the edit box with unique id "doct"
hope this helpful
you have to bind this edit box with DocNum Userfield of the table.
report back if there is any error

Need help in creating multiple signature forms?

need help in creating multiple signature forms that can be digitally signed in adobe reader

Automator gets a bit unweildy when trying to vary things outside of what the actions provide. Since you are already using an AppeScript in your workflow, might as well do the whole thing:
set baseFolder to (path to desktop) -- the location to create the folder
display dialog "Please provide a new folder name:" default answer "test"
set folderName to text returned of the result
repeat -- keep repeating until a number is returned
display dialog "How many subfolders?" default answer "5"
set theNumber to text returned of the result
    try -- test the result
      set theNumber to theNumber as integer
      exit repeat -- success
    end try
end repeat
tell application "Finder"
try -- make new folder
    set newFolder to (make new folder at baseFolder with properties {name:folderName})
on error number -48 -- skip errors if the folder is already there
    set newFolder to ((baseFolder as text) & folderName) as alias
end try
repeat with X from 1 to theNumber
    try -- make new subfolder
      make new folder at newFolder with properties {name:folderName & X}

How do you change a "row Label" in form central into an interactive text box?

How do you change a "row Label" in form central into an interactive text box? I need to leave some of the row labels plank so that people using the form can add some of their on labels. Can this be done and if so how?

I'm not quite sure I understand your question. Respondents (fillers of the form) cannot edit the label of a field.

How do I automatically number rows in Numbers for iPad?

How do I automatically number rows in Numbers for iPad?

Hi James,
On the iPod I can only insert what is on the clipboard but I can insert however many rows I have there. Is it working differently for you? Benjoon seemed to think that he could not do this in Numbers. He was ruling Numbers out because of it. He doesn't need to do that because of this issue.
If I was needing to insert multiple blank rows often I might keep a table of blank rows or just some blank rows at the end of the working table that I could copy/paste. This is no different than Numbers on the Mac.

I want to generate some Sequence Number for each XML Form Generated by the XML Form Builder Application?
Ex: my XML Form Builder Application is "MYAPP". Using this I filled data and Save, then an XML will be created, then it should have some unique Number(say 1234), then if I fill the differennt Data and Save, then another XML will be created. For this the Number should be 1235, next 1236, ........
I can use the XML Form ID, but that is not User friendly format. Becaz I need to display this Number to the End User.

How to add/delete rows on the form without saving data

I am new to apex
I am working on project and need some help on creating a form
my requirment is to save a request that has multiple questions.
i have a request form with multiple regions
On one of the region that takes questions, I want to create a tabular form such that i can add/delete/update row without hitting database and enter multiple questions
each row is one question.
Apex has the default functionality of having a tabular form linked to a table that onload shows the data from that table and also on click of add or delete hits the data base to save the data.
However i want to load a form that does not show any data if its a new request and click of add/delete should not update the databse. It should just add/delete a row on the form
so user logs in and can create a request that has multiple questions
finally want to submit the form and save all the information of the form in multiple tables.
As of now i a m able to have a simple form and a process that save 1 question per request.
How do i achieve this. Please assist.

Do that using collections like in this example:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:176
Once you are done, you may decide either to save that or to clean it up.
