New editor: no auto- angle bracket

Hi all,
after installing SAPGUI 710 patch level 10 the auto-completion for brackets only works for square brackets [] and normal brackets () but not any longer for angle brackets <>.
I already modified the xml scheme at C:\Programme\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\ab4_data\xml_spec.xml
Parameter OpenClose is shown as ()[]''<>.
But it still does not work.
How to resolve?
TIA,
regards,
Clemens

Sorry, I marked this answered yesterday:
With the new 700 SAPGUI and editor rollout they corrected one big shortcoming of the new editor: Before the user-specific settings were stored with thje local SAPGUI installation, now they are stored in the windows user settings directory.
In my case (german windows), I modified file abap4_spec.xml
in directory
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\re31472\ab4_data
Note: You may find the same file in
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\re31472\SapWorkDir\ab4_data
Here I did not apply the changes described in my preceding comment(s).
Sometimes questions about the quality assurance process wait for answers
Regards,
Clemens
P.S.: It is a good strategy to wait for a stable release and accept humiliation of missing features. Still it may be a valid strategy to find out how to use new features while it is anything but stable.

Data model editor cannot save samle XML data if data contains angle bracket

BI Publisher can correctly query data containing angle brackets, and it produces well-formed XML in that case. Angle brackets are correctly coded as &lt and &gt. However, if you try to save the generated XML as sample XML for the data model, BI Publisher will issue the following error in its log:
[2012-02-17T14:12:07.491-08:00] [AdminServer] [ERROR] [] [oracle.xdo] [tid: 30] [userId: <anonymous>] [ecid: 4d7950b0e2efed24:2a9da7a7:135894f9533:-8000-0000000000002f73,0] [APP: bipublisher#11.1.1] End tag does not match start tag '...'.
where '...' would be any characters appearing between the open angle bracket and the close angle bracket. The sample XML data will not save, so you cannot open the report in the Desktop TemplateBuilder for Microsoft Word.
Note that this bug is not fixed in the latest February patch for version 11.1.1.5.

ok...tell me this, are you saying you are encoding the angle brackets or bi publisher is doing it automatically????
With the data I worked, & (ampersands) were more predominant and I replaced the columns containing them with +& a m p ;+ (without spaces) and everything was fine....

Variables with angle brackets

I was trying to create a variable that contained angle brackets <> as the text needed in the variables are angle brackets in this instance. However, there is also text between the angel brackets. When I created the variable, the text between the angle brackets was in Courier New font and it had a red background. When I previewed the page, that information was cut out of the variable.
First, how do I add angle brackets within a variable (or can you)?
Second, what is happening when I add angle brackets and the font changes and the background color changes behind the text? What does it do? Can someone point me to an article or reference on what it does and how it's helpful?
Thanks.

Hi mcallit82,
you can have < or > in the udv values there are two ways to achieve this
1. You can directly type these characters in the design view of the UDV value as shown below
2. the UDV creation dialog you can use '<' for '<' and '>' for '>'
Hope this will help

Escape angle bracket in XML

Hi,
I am mapping to the cXML from the idoc. In the cXML field call extrinsic I want to map a hyperlink to it. When I send it through the adapter look like XI convert the angle bracket <> to < and >. Here is what I tried to map
<URL name="TC">http://www.mycompany.pdf</URL>
Do you have any suggestion on how to escape the angle bracket conversion? I was trying different option below but non of them work. When I use the converstion code then it pass through as text. When I looked at the moni under technical routing xml it show the url link but when I open it with note pad then I see the bracket converted.
<URL name="TC">http://www.mycompany.pdf</URL>
"&#60"URL name="TC""&#62"http://www.mycompany.pdf"&#60/URL"&#62"
Thanks

Try using CDATA
All text in an XML document will be parsed by the parser.
But text inside a CDATA section will be ignored by the parser.
CDATA - (Unparsed) Character Data
The term CDATA is used about text data that should not be parsed by the XML parser.
Characters like "<" and "&" are illegal in XML elements.
"<" will generate an error because the parser interprets it as the start of a new element.
"&" will generate an error because the parser interprets it as the start of an character entity.
Some text, like JavaScript code, contains a lot of "<" or "&" characters. To avoid errors script code can be defined as CDATA.
Everything inside a CDATA section is ignored by the parser.
A CDATA section starts with "<![CDATA[" and ends with "]]>":

Can a topic title contain angle brackets (greater than / less than)?

Using RoboHelp 8, WebHelp output generated via rhcl and displayed in modified Internet Explorer (IE).
One of my colleagues is creating a topic to describe an application object that has angle brackets (greater than / less than signs) in its screen name. Needless to say, RoboHelp doesn't like those symbols in the topic title, and it hides them and the text between them in the generated topic title. Steps to reproduce: Typed < and > in the Properties dialog; topic's <title> meta tag shows < and > .
Other than replacing the topic title field with static text, is there a way to push these symbols through the Properties dialog or the HTML editor?
It's not world-shatteringly important - the workaround is okay - but I'd like to know how to avoid this problem with other "special" characters, if I can.
Thanks,
Elisa

Willam is correct that you cannot type < or > directly into the HTML code and in pointing out that RoboHelp automatically converts the code when you type that in design view.
However, I think that you are aware of that and it is not the problem you want addressed. You can see that you can type that straight into the Topic Heading but your Topic Headings are not typed in, you are using fields and what you are finding is that if the Topic Title contains the brackets, that works everywhere other than Topic Headings. Is that correct?
If so the cause is linked to what Willam has pointed out but I am sure Adobe could work out a solution. Report it as a bug. Please follow this link.

RNIF Angled brackets in the Content Id in the attachment

Hello All,
I'm working on an RNIF interface with a PIDX message and an attachment . Everything is working fine until this new requirement came up . The partner that we are communicating with needs the content-id of the attachment to be enclosed in angled brackets <>. I know that this issue has been resolved in PI 7.1 EHP1 , but we are on PI 7.0 .
Please let me know if there is a support pack in 7.0 for this and if so which one . Thanks.

Hi
The parameter is not available for SP14. Note #1554216 is a relatively new note. SAP will generally provide fixes for the previous 3 SP releases (e.g. SP24, SP23 and SP22 in this case).
It looks like this specific fix was provided for a customer on SP12. I guess you will need to request they do the same for your SP14 release (if upgrading is not an option for you).

Insert email link missing in new editor??

The new editor it seems to be missing inserting a email link.. If I highlight text in the editor and click the insert link button in the toolbar, there is no option for inserting a email address as a link like in the old editor - unless I am missing something? Telling my clients that they have to insert mailto:[email protected] in the external link field seems pretty silly and backward.
Any plans to add this BASIC functionality back into the BC Editor?

Should not be too hard to add under external link in the link manager a email one.
This is all beta Alexander and BC know they got more things and bug fixes to add to it.

Regular Expressions in the new editor

Hi,
we just ubgraded to SAP GUI 6.40 and ERP 2005, when i hit ctrl-h the search and replace dialog is popping up in the new editor. But the checkbox "regular expression" is greyed out and cant be activated. Why?

Rainer

Hi, I can only confirm that. The help indicates that it should work, but on the screencaps, it's grayed out too.
Besides that,
Open completion automatically after is not implemented yet (is mentioned in the help).
There are also problems with the incremental search backwards. It works only once.

How to activate New Editor for XSLT Transformations?

Hello Everyone!
I am currentlyworking on some Simple Transformations (Txn STRANS). As I am very happy with the New Frontend Editor, I would like to use the new Editor for editing Simple Transformations, like I do, when editing usual ABAP Code.
Where can I activate the New Editor fpr XSLT Programs? I have already set the Flag to use the new editor when editing ABAP Code, but this Flag unfortunately has to influence on the editor used for XSLT programs... ;-(
Greetings

Hi all,

New Editor bug

The new editor has a bug. When you add 'required' (a legal HTML5 attribute) to an input element it deletes it. You have to add required="required" to make it stick. This is XHTML not HTML5.
i.e.
<input type="text" name="myTextbox" required>
gets rewritten to
<input type="text" name="myTextbox" >
on save.

Yeah, sorry. Bad coding on my part, but I think it's something that will catch people out as BC supplies its form inputs with XHTML markup,
i.e. <input type=text" /> rather than <input type="text">
That's what caused it to break in the first place, not a bug

How do I get my new mac to auto cap the the first letter in a sentence?

can some tell me how to get my new mac to auto capitalise the first letter of each sentence?

Quick answer, Pages 5.0 no longer does this. Frustrating! If you have Pages 4.3, it can do it.
Also, check out the More Like This column on the right. Some people have the same question and you might find some good tips there.

ABAP new Editor problem

Hi,
Whenever i want to activate the New ABAP Editor, the SE38 always hangs. So i have to change it back to Old Editor to open Se38. How can i open se38 in new editor??
current sap version ECC 6.0
SAP GUI Release is 710 Final Release
Patch level 0
Plz help...
Thanks in advance...

I had the same issue and realized that some of my colleagues could display the programs. I was convinced that it had to be authorisations because all auths was taken away the previous day and then reinstated for post go-live support.
However - I scratched around and found that if you switch back to the old editor I can view the code (that is the workaround). I then asked the SAP security manager to look into my profiles and something she did enabled me to switch back to the new editor. Here is in her words how she fixed it - "It was a profiles thing"... Afraid not of much help but might give you a starting point. In the mean time you can use the workaround
Bottom line is that it is an authorisations issue.
Cheers,
Corné

New Editor, no breadcrumb

Hi,
the old BC editor had this nice breadcrumb at the bottom to show all tags, a text is wrapped into. One could simply click the "remove tag" link right to the breadcrumb to get rid of redundant markup (p > p > strong > font > font). Is there any similar function in the new editor, too?

Claudia,
As with any editor - Enter - Paragraph, Shift enter - line break. Same for word, notepad... Everything
What Cristinel said is correct, At the moment it is creating blank paragraphs and breaks for no reason as it as a few tweaks etc still to go yet - But when they are addressed its a lot cleaner editor but that is because its handling things better. Paste direct from word into it and look at the code - really clean.

No new editor for Text elements in Smart forms

Hello all,
I've a problem on SAP demo system (version 7.2). When I add new Text element on window then on tab General Attributes I'm only able to see ComboBoxes for "Text Type", "Start", button pencil (for going into fullscreen old editor) and button for checking object. The last thing is that I can also see here label "Use the fullscreen text editor". When I've checked on other systems I saw that instead of that label there is new editor here, and clicking on pencil button leads to new fullscreen editor.
Does anybody know where I can enforce smartforms builder to use new editor?
Best regards
Marcin Cholewczuk

Hello Marcin,
Is the text edit portion showing as disabled?
FYI i don't have MS Office installed on my frontend & in my case the text edit is disabled. Is this the case with you as well
