New-line character in stacked message pop-up

I have run into a brick wall with this situation--
Our clients are running Client/Server Forms 6i, and Web Forms 6i using Patch 10. They are about to upgrade web forms to the latest version 9.0.4.1.0 (10g).
We have a few PLL routines that use the stacked message method: Message('text here'); Message(' ',no_acknowledge);to display important error messages to the user. It is especially useful to display the multiple ORA- errors when an unexpected server error occurs.
Throughout all versions of Client/Server forms, and even in our old version of Web forms, I can use chr(10) or another character to start each error message on a new line.
Somewhere after Patch 10, Oracle has removed that capability. Instead, pop-up stacked messages word-wrap into a multi-line message, and display the new-line character as a box indicating an unprintable character. Our nicely formatted messages are a mess!
I have been told I should use an alert, which supports chr(10) as the new line. However, this is a PLL routine, and I would have to create an alert in hundreds of forms just to accommodate this short-sightedness. The changes and subsequent testing and release issues make this an unworkable solution.
I am clueless as to why this feature would be removed. Oracle support is treating it as an enhancement request. Any ideas?

Steve,
If you really have hundreeds of forms ... create one more - to display your messages. Make it modal and nice looking. Call it through the library. Design it to work both as [OK] message and as an users responce [Yes]/[No]/[Cancel].
And honestly - I don't think message(); message() is the best way to display messages. Whoever designed the application should've think about alerts with standartized naming convention, so they can be handled easily through the PLL.

New Line Character in OSB for sending email in proper format

Hi
We have a client requirement, where in we send an error email when ever an exception occurs in the OSB flow. We are using OSB 11g and we need to format the body within or before the publish activity using a replace activity something in the below manner (replace . in variable body (replace node contents))
fn:concat("Following Exception Occurred <NEW LINE>","ErrorCode: ",fn:data($fault/ctx.errorCode) etc etc)
Please tell us if there is a new line character available within OSB to format the email message. Please help its urgent. Thanks

Thanks a lot for the reply, but still in the email body, i see everything in one line (no enter0). I tried " ","",\n and CHR(13). All dont seem to work.
Also can you provide an example for &#13: (Ampersandhash13colon)
Please help.

Handling new line character in XML

Hi,
Question : How can we specify new line character in xml ?
Explaination for use :
I have a xml structure like :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MT_ISO8583_XML_request>
<TRANSDETAILS>.
<TRANSACTIONAMOUNT>0000000000000000</TRANSACTIONAMOUNT>
<SYSAUDITNUMBER>225998394671</SYSAUDITNUMBER>
</TRANSDETAILS>
</MT_ISO8583_XML_request>
I am using Java mapping to convert xml to some satndard flat file format. It works fine for single message.
To handle multiple message i am using Multimapping split. Multimapping needs xml tags in traget structure also to split the message.
To achieve it without BPM, I want to take the whole content of my target file to one tag. When i do this i lost all the new line characters aslo. How can i preserve my new line character using XML ?
Regards
Kulwinder

Are you sure, that the nl characters are deleted?
They are usually not shown in the XML display.
You can also use an adapter module instead of a Java mapping. So you can do a split in mapping, but the conversion to the flat file in the adapter module. If you have already a Java mapping for this purpose, you can easily create an adapter module based on that Java code.

Hi All,
SITUATION:
Writing a custom log file using the Write String service operation.
Everytime an event occurs, i want to insert a new line, with date time stamp, details etc.
PROBLEM:
In the "value" property of the "write string" service operation... im inputting my relevant data but dont know how to indicate a new line

WHAT I FEAR:
the exact same situation as http://forums.adobe.com/message/2780658#2780658 ... with a fairly definite answer
I'm hoping i dont have to go this LONG ugly scary route.

Your thoughts, answers, suggestions....
Thanking you all in advance.

this code worked for me:
===========================
import java.lang.String;
String vLogEntry = patExecContext.getProcessDataStringValue("/process_data/@logEntry");
String vLogEntry = vLogEntry + " \r\n";
patExecContext.setProcessDataStringValue("/process_data/@logEntry", vLogEntry);

Want to know how to check for new line character in text file

Hi All,
I`m trying to read data from text file. However I`m not sure whether the data is in 1st line or nth line. Now I`m trying to read the text from the readline. But if text is "" and not NULL then my code fails. So I want to know how to check for new line character and go to next line to find the data. Please help.
Thanks

                    e.printStackTrace();
          return get_count;

You are calling the readline() only once which means you are reading only the first line from the file...
Use a loop (Do-While preferably)
do{
//your code
}while(text == "")

New line character and carriage return in XML, please help, thanks

In XML, "
" is only the new line character. I have tried that. If you put that in your XML, for example:
<tag>line1
line2
line3</tag>
You will get the output as follow:
line1
____line2
________line3
(where ___ represents space)
The output that I want is actually like:
line1
line2
line3
So I would like to ask how I can do this.
Thanks,
Jackie

while parsing your XML file you can directly suppress these newline and similar things in characters() method of SAX parser.
you can opt to do nothing when you encounter them else if it is normal character then use it to print it.

Problem with CDATA and new line character

I parse a xml document with org.w3c.dom, the document contain a CDATA section in which there are more lines of text, each line is terminated with the new line character (\n).
Example:
<nota>
<[CDATA[
first line
second line
third line
]]>
</nota>
When a parse this node:
Text txt_nota=(Text)elm_nota.getFirstChild();
String nota=txt_nota.getData();
the value returned is one string with no new line characters, example:
"first linesecond linethird line"
what's wrong?

Because i use the string nota into a jsp page and i print the string nota into a textarea and the text is with no newline, example:
<textarea name="nota" rows="4" cols="60"><%= nota %></textarea>
the text into textarea is:
first linesecond linethird line
but i want that the text displayed into textarea is equal the text into the CDATA section:
first line
second line
third line

Need help in how to print new line character in unix using java

Hi All,
I use the printstream class to print some line in a text using java.
here is the code:
   FileOutputStream out; // declare a file output object
        PrintStream p; // declare a print stream object
                p.print("\t");
                p.print(date);
                p.print("\t\t");
                p.print(RecCount);
                p.println("\n");when i use this and output of this character in windows is
date RecCount
22-07-2007 23456
when i use the same code in unix it shows the following output:
date RecCount[]22-07-2007
it wont accept the new line character could any one give me an idea to solve this problem.

PrintStream has a println() method. Use that. Or System.getProperty("line.separator").
Because a newline char doesn't necessarily specify a line break. It's system-dependent.

How to insert new line character?

Hi all,
I have two lines to print.
out.println("Available number of columns="+cols);
out.println("Number of columns must be present=10");My problem is:
i want both the lines to be printed one below the other. But, it is displayed in one single line.....
Can anyone please tell me how to insert new line character?
I tried with \n, '\n' and \r\n but, in vain......
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Ashvini

You should never use "\n" directly.
The line separator character is different on different operating systems.
And putting quotes around it in your string will make absolutely no difference in the JSP.
To find out what the line separator is you should use System.getProperty("line.separator");
The JSPWriter and PrintWriter classes will automatically use this property with a println statement, so a println will always finish with a line separator.
The issue here was that HTML by default ignores all whitespace.
The solutions provided
- use a <br> tag instead of a carriage return
- use <pre> tags, which tells the browser not to ignore whitespace. That can be troublesome in JSP which generates a lot of extraneous carriage returns into the code.

ADF: how to insert new line character in column of VO?

Hi Everyone,
Im using Jdev 11G.
i have a VO with 5 columns displayed on the ADF page.(VO has total 8 columns)
1 column is the combination of 3 columns. i concatenated the 3 columns and added new line character after each column chr(13).
VO query is working very fine in Toad. the columnn displays each concatenated column value after a new line character but the same query is not working in ADF.
The column which is concatenating 3 columns and has to display with new line character is not displaying new line character its just concatenating the 3 values and displaying it on the page.
wat can be the solution for this in ADF?
Thank you.

Setting escape="false" will allow putting html <BR> in the column and it will display ok however if your table allows export to excel the <BR> gets exported and displays as text in your exported file. Also & will export as & To prevent that, use your original text without the escape=false setting and insert LF or CR (10 or 13 character), then add inline style of white-space: pre-line; to column or to style class in your skin. That will cause all line feeds to wrap but will export to excel without mixing html in the export.

NEW LINE CHARACTER

i am trying to load text into the BASIC TEXT of the material. The input file has matnr and the text. The file we loaded is fine. But in the text editor the # for new line character appears and this is causing problem while writing the text in a sapscript.
so i am trying to remove the # for the new line character while we load the file. i am using
data: c_tab like CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF. to split the file and it is not being recognized. The input file is a tab delimited text file from excel. and it has " at the begining and ending.
thanks in advance

New line character in cipher text?

Friends,
I am encrypting a text in Triple DES/CBC mode/Nopadding mode. the length of text is 6500 bytes. in the cipher text that i get, it has new-line character(\n) & carriage return characters. As a result of this i m unable to read the cipher text from a C program(as it is not fully reading the cipher text). is there any methodology to overcome this problem. is there any way to avoid the new-line & carriage return characters in cipher text.
Also is there any criteria like, the plaintext can be only max of this much bytes?
Thanks in Advance

The result of your encryption is bytes and not characters so your C program should process it as bytes and not as characters then bytes '\r' and '\n' will not be interpretted.
It would be interresting to see your C code.
