Overide on-error with when-new-button-pressed

Hi,
I have a big problem and not much time to solve it so posting on here hoping someone will know the answer. I have put an exit button on my form which calls a method that uses GO_FORM to return to a menu page.
I don't want to close oracle forms down completely so I can't use the exit_form command. However I want the close button to return the user to the menu without validating or saving the current form.
My problem is that I catch errors in a date field using an on-error trigger and this always fires before the when-button-pressed meaning my user gets an error before leaving the form.
How do I ignore the on-error trigger when my close button is pressed and not when exiting the field which contains the date.
I have tried setting the execution hierarchy to after on the on-error and override on the when-button-pressed but this seems to have no effect.
Thanks for any help
Dan

One solution would be to add a menu for the form. For some reason menu items and toolbar buttons don't cause the loss of focus to occur. If you used a menu to fire a trigger to close the form then you could set a flag that could be checked in your on-error trigger. If the flag was true(or whatever) then you don't perform your validation.
I'm usually angry that the toolbars and menus don't cause those triggers to fire, but I've had a couple cases similar to this where it actually works out for the better. Not sure if having a menu for, what sounds to me like, a dialog will look the best, but it should work.

It is likely that you have a Button class on your computer that is not java.awt.Button and javac is finding this class. If you add "import java.awt.Button;" or change the line to "java.awt.Button ClickToPlay" and "ClickToPlay = new java.awt.Button......" it should work.

Show error Msg if delivery type is 'Expedited' when 'Order' button pressed

Hi,
In the order.jsp if the Delivery type is 'Expedited' I should show error messge when the user press the 'Order' button. The Order button is placed in closer_details.jsp.
I thought of putting a flag but how the value would be passed between order,jsp and closer_details.jsp?
Please help.

Hi Harish,
From your description of problem I assume that you are using ISA 4.0 because closer_details.jsp used in ISA 4.0 in ISA 5.0 there is no closer_details.jsp
It can be done. You can achieve desire functionality through Java script.
I did the same thing in one of my previous project.
in Closer_detail.jsp you can get value of delivery type element through javascript.
Suppose 'Delivery Type' has incoterm as id and name and it is select box.
Frame name of order.jsp is position--you can find this frame name in frameset_order.jsp
Create Java script function in closer_Details.jsp and check value of delivery select box. like below.
Create Java script variable -parent.positions.document.forms['order_positions'].incoterm.options-[incoterm.selectedindex].text;
Once you have text value of your delivery type select box you can check this value -Expedited- in if condition and display error message before submitting form.
Call this function before submit in Closer_Detail.jsp
You are done.
Let me know if you face any problem.
Regards.
Ecommerce Developer.

How to show system form with a new button

Hi experts,
     I created a new button on the sales order system form, I need that the new button calls other system form, How can I show a system form with my new button?
Thaks.
César Lemus.

Hi César,
On the Item Pressed Event of the button, Write the code to show the other system form. The sample for this is as follows.
Case SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_ITEM_PRESSED
                      If pVal.ItemUID = "URButtonID"
                                SBO_Appln.ActivateMenuItem("Menu ID of ur system form.")
                      EndIF
Hope this is helpful. If yes reward points.

How is when a button pressed a report will come to the same page !!!

Hi all,
I wonder that is it possible to bring a report to the page as a region but only when a button pressed in apex .When ı clicked the go button for example ı want to list a report in the same page.
but I dont know how .If is this possible can you explain me please.I need help!
Thanks!

Create your report in a region as normal.
Create a second region and in this region create an item eg p171_item.
In the same region create 2 buttons
Get Report and Reset (branching back to same page).
Create 2 page processes (PLSQL) on submit after computations
1. GET REPORT
DECLARE
v_item number;
Begin
select 1 into v_item from dual;
:P171_ITEM := v_item;
end;
2.RESET
DECLARE
v_item number;
Begin
select 2 into v_item from dual;
:P171_ITEM := v_item;
end;
Tie the processes to the buttons.
On your report region put a condition
PL_SQL RETURNING BOOLEAN
IF :P171_ITEM = 1 THEN
RETURN TRUE;
ELSE
RETURN FALSE;
END IF;
Now by pressing the buttons the report region is opened and closed.
Now hide P171_ITEM.

Try to debug the query when save button pressed

Hi, could some body tell me how can I see the SQL statement when the trigger is executed. I have a save button, when it is pressed it does a commit to insert data to database. I would like to see a sql statement something like : "insert into xxxx (xxx,xx,...) values (xxx,xx,...). I checked the System.last_query but it still shows the select statement to get into the form. Not the actural LAST STATEMENT. please help!

Hi!
If you commit the form and insert data after that,
that data will not being commited to the database and got lost until you use
something like forms_ddl ( 'commit' ); after the insert.
:system.last_query, which is the very last query of a block in your form,
will never show an insert in any trigger.
May a commit-trigger is not a good place for an insert.
But anyway, hope this help you.

Commit_form creating issue with When-New-Record-Instance trigger

Hello friends,
I am using Oracle forms 6i . I have a multi-data block. I have written commit_form in when-new-record-instance of the data block. When I launch the form on my instance the form does not open.
But when I comment out this code, the form opens on the instance. What could be the exact problem?
Also is there any condition that I can specify if the whole data block is null when I open the form?

Hi...
In When-New-Record-Instance, check if the block status is NEW. If Not, then just apply COMMIT_FORM;
try this code in your trigger
IF :SYSTEM.BLOCK_STATUS = 'CHANGED'
THEN
COMMIT_FORM;
END IF;
Should work for you.
Thanks....

Am having a header VO , Forecast HeaderVO and a child VO
ForecastLineVO, now forecastHeaderVO has two bind condition attached to it,and when we run header Vo line VO will automatically execute as they are linked by a view link.My child Vo is attached to a advance table, which has a ADD Another Row button,Now when i press the button for the case where no header is is there it shows me a error"Failed to find or invalidate owning entity".

Time Machine Error with brand new WD My Book Studio Edition

I have a brand new iMac and just bought a new WD My Book Studio Edition 500 gb HD for specific use with my Time Machine. The iMac has a 500 HD is about 3 months old and the WD HD is brand new. I am getting an error when I try to activate and back up with Time Machine that says, " Time Machine Error. This backup is too large for a backup volume. The backup requires 524.4 gb but only 465.5 gb are available. To select a larger volume, or make the backup smaller by excluding files, open System Preferences and choose Time Machine."
I copied the files from the Time Machine to my hard drive to make as much space as possible. I have a capacity of 465.44 GB and 28.48GB of free space on my MacHD. I have a capacity of 465.64 GB and 465.49 GB of free space on my WD. It is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) the way it was originally sold. I have not tried to reformat. Not too sure about how to. But I have tried all of these scenarios.
I have tried the following and nothing works to get Time Machine backing up at all:
1. I have changed the preferences in Time Machine Options to a smaller file size excluding the applications folder (appx. 12 GB),
2. I have zapped the P-RAM,
3. I have reset the index in the Spotlight by putting my Macintosh HD and Time Machine in the Privacy section, let it reindex and then pulled it out, and
4. I have deleted the preferences in Macintosh HD>Library>Preferences>com.apple.TimeMachine.plist.
Nothing is working and I bought the HD when I was home visiting in the states and I live in Bogota, Colombia. Quite hard to return HD.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,

You have a nearly full 500 GB hard drive and you are trying to use TM with a 500 GB hard drive - but the way TimeMachine works, your TimeMachine hard drive should be at least twice the size of your backup data. In other words, to use TM effectively you should have bought a 1 TB external drive.
With a 500 GB drive for backups, you need to determine exactly what has to be backed up and what can be left out. If you open the TimeMachine preferences you'll see that there's an Options button. Click it and you can select folders to exclude from backing up. For example, you might decide that you don't need to back up your music because it is all on your iPod anyway and the Mac OS and your applications are all on CD so those can be left out. By carefully paring the list down you may be able to get your backup data down under 250 GB and if so, then TimeMachine will do the job for you.
Another solution would be to drop TimeMachine as your backup solution and simply use a program such as SuperDuper! or CarbonCopyCloner (CCC) to perform your backups. There are advantages and disadvantages to each backup method. As you mull your options, don't be afraid to ask more questions.

Script to validate a field when submit button pressed not working

I have a script to validate certain fields and generate an error message if fields are blank or not filled out correctly. Everything works fine except for one of them. I'm trying to generate an error message if one of the fields have an invalid format in it. For example, the format should be ''XXXX.XX'' (all numbers) so if they enter ''XXXX'' the error message will generate and the form will not submit. I have a function setup under this particular field and it works but unfortunately users are ignoring the error message and submitting the form anyway and this field really needs to be right before it's submitted.
This is what I'm using for it:
var bCancel = false;
var strMsg = "";
if (getField("Tracking").value == /^\d{0,4}(\.\d{0,2})?$/) {
bCancel = false; }
if (getField("Tracking").value != /^\d{0,4}(\.\d{0,2})?$/) {
strMsg = "Invalid Format. Please correct before continuing. (EX: 0000.00)";
bCancel = true; }
So the problem is it generates the error message now even if the format is correct. I'm sure I did something wrong but I wrote the format the same way (/^\d{0,4}(\.\d{0,2})?$/) when I ran a custom format script under this field and it worked fine so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm also including this part of the script with the rest of the field validations in the submit button. So altogether it looks something like this (just with a lot more fields, didn't include all of them bc it gets pretty redundant)
var bCancel = false;
var strMsg = "";
if (getField("Tracking").value == /^\d{0,4}(\.\d{0,2})?$/) {
bCancel = false; }
if (getField("Employee Name").value >= 1) {
bCancel = false; }
if (getField("AcctNbr1").value >= 1) {
bCancel = false; }
if (getField("Tracking").value != /^\d{0,4}(\.\d{0,2})?$/) {
strMsg = "Tracking field format is invalid. Please correct before continuing. (EX: 0000.00)";
bCancel = true; }
if (getField("Employee Name").value == "") {
strMsg="At least one required field was empty on export. Please fill in the required fields (highlighted) before continuing.";
bCancel = true; }
if (getField("AcctNbr1").value == "") {
strMsg="At least one required field was empty on export. Please fill in the required fields (highlighted) before continuing.";
bCancel = true; }
if (bCancel){
app.alert(strMsg);
} else {
this.mailDoc({
bUI:       true,
cTo:      "[email protected]",
cSubject: "Form Returned: Maintenance Form"});
I'm fairly new to scripting, especially in Adobe, so I probably didn't do a great job with all of it. Please let me know if there's anything I need to change to get it working better. Thanks in advance for your help!

OK, below are two regular expressions that may do what you want:
var re1 = /^\d{4}\.\d{2}$/;
var re2 = /^[1-9]\d{3}\.\d{2}$/;
The first, re1, will match any four digits, followed by a decimal point, followed by two digits. A potential problem with this is it will match a string like "0001.23", which may not be what you want. If you don't want it to match a string with leading zeroes, you can use the second one, re2. It will match any digit from 1 to 9, followed by any three digits, followed by a decimal point, followed by two digits.
The test method of a regular expression takes a string as an argument and will return true if it matches the regular expression, or false if it doesn't. Here are some example outputs given various field values and methods of getting the field values:
// Text1 field value is 0123.45
// Get the field value.
// The variable num will be a number, not a string
// num will equal 123.45
var num = getField("Text1").value;
// Test regular expression against num
bOK = re1.test(num);   // returns false
// Now get the field value as a string
// num will equal "0123.45"
var num = getField("Text1").valueAsString;
bOK = re1.test(num);   // returns true
// Now use the other regular expression
bOK = re2.test(num); // returns false
// Text1 field value is now 1234.56
// num will equal "1234.56"
var num = getField("Text1").valueAsString;
bOK = re2.test(num);   // returns true
To summarize, if you want to not allow leading zeroes, get the field value using the valueAsString field property, and use a regular expression that does not match a leading zero. You should probably change the regular expression you're using in the Keystroke script if you want to prevent the user from entering a number with any leading zeroes.

Quiz Issues - Not highlighting selected answers when 'back' button pressed

Any help would be very much appreciated for this problem.
On Captivate 5.5. and have a few quizzes with anything from 18 questions to 37, the user enters their name and it moves onto the question page.
For example, the user answers question one and goes forward, then goes back one and the answer is no longer selected but the question is locked. When the user comes to review the quiz, it now says the question hasn't been answered when is has been and obviously doesn't get a mark.
Anyone else experienced this or have a clue how to fix it? My preferences are as follows:

Lilybri, I'm not sure if I explained myself well enough in my original post.
User answers question one - presses submit button. CP moves to next question, no problem.
User then answers question two, presses submit button.
User moves back to question two and the button they had selected is no longer selected and the question is locked (it should be locked obviously, but CP should show which answer the user selected).
When you review the quiz it claims 'you did not answer the question completely'. When you had selected something. Also in tests, it was found it knocked off two points from the user sometimes.
I've just tested one this morning and it seems to be it'll sometimes happen on first go, or you have to move forward and backwards a few times for it to start up this behaviour. Any help is appreciated.

How do I clear an error message when the buttons available do not work?

I have an error message that says 'cannot verify server identity' and when it asks me to continue or cancel or details, well when I push the buttons nothing happens. I cant clear the message and my iPad is virtually useless. Can someone help figure out what I'm supposed to.

Try a reset and see if it works properly after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Linking frames to other frames when a button press

Hi every one new to Java in my 2 year at University College Chester,
4 week using Java to build an application, how do you link to another frame when a Jbutton is pressed sending full control to the new frame, i want to leave the old frame open as when i close the new frame i wish to return to the old frame! and would i use system.exit(0); to close the new frame as i think this closes the application altogether.
Any help Please!
Thank inadvance for help!

Just create a new JFrame and show it on button usage, maybe additionally assign the focus to one of it's components. Set the JFrames default close operation to DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE and you should be fine.
