Part content of a text field into two columns

Hi,
I have a question regarding text field objects in Crystal Reports 2008 (SP3) for my ASP.NET app.
I want the text object to have a maximum height and a column width. After the text object has reached the maximum height it should continue rendering the text into a second column.
I already saw that function for single data records and per detail section (multiple columns setting in the Designer). Using it would require to throw my current report design away so I'm not too much into that.
Is it possible to do that with existing functions? If yes - how?
Regards

Don't see how this could be done at all...
Typically, if you can figure out how to do it in the designer, you can pattern that for the SDK. But like you said, only way to do it in the designer is to create a new multi-column report...

Spry validation text field across two columns in a table?

I have a table with two columns. I can easily insert a spry validated text field into the left cell but when I drag the box over so that box is in the right column and the label is still in the left column then that breaks the widget.
Is this even possible for me to do or do I have to put the widget in just one column?

Think I figured it out.

Splitting field into two columns

HI,
I'm told it is possible to have a field be split up into multiple columns in the details section of a report rather than having it listed in a single column. How can this be accomplished? I've heard it has something to do with subreports.
For instance, instead of this:
Bob
Jane
Sally
Barbara
Jim
Dave
It could look like this (columns not lined up in this example, not sure how to do it on this forum):
Bob          Jane
Sally          Barbara
Jim          Dave
Thanks

No need to use subreports
In section expert for the deatils section check box - Format with multiple columns
A new tab appear - Layout - Define width to set up number of columns required.

How to add an animation to a text field with two lines?

I have a text field with two or more lines. Why isn't it possible now to apply a text animation?

For certain tasks, Titler and its Presets can be very good, and can simplify things greatly.
However, when one gets beyond the limitations of the Titler, I really like to create my Titles in Photoshop, and Import those as Still Images into my Project. I then use the power of Keyframing various Effects over time. This allows me much more control, BUT does require more hand-work. Still, that added control is too important to me, and I sort of like doing the handwork.
For the "alignment" of multiple Titles, to get multiple lines of Text, you can create the first Title, and then chose Duplicate Title. Initially, that will be identical, but you just change it, as is necessary. After you have changed that "second line of Text," place that Duplicate on the next Video Track, above the first Title, and use the Fixed Effect>Motion>Position, to move it down, to where it would be (by the height of the font, plus any desired Leading), if one had created a second line of Text on one Title.
I also like to use Alignment Grids, when things get critical, and create those in Photoshop, with a trasparent background, and just place them, on say Video Track 2, with all of my Titles above that. Just do not forget to remove any Alignment Grids, before you Export/Share the Timeline, or they will be part of the output video.
For more background on Keyframing (so very useful with more than just Titles), Steve Grisetti has done a multi-part tutorial, available as Basic Keyframing on Muvipix.com. I highly recommend it. Keyframing is simple to do, but can be a bit of a tough concept to grasp initially, and it's a subject that is tough to write about - takes longer to type instructions, than to do the work.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - Do not know if you saw them, but Titler has two Alignment Tools - Align Horizontally, and Align Vertically, that can be helpful to center Text.

How can I merge 3 or more individual text fields into an editable summary text field?

I am stuck and do not know where to begin. I am self taught in using Adobe LiveCycle and have found many answers here in the forums and via trial and error.
I cannot find or create the correct java script or form calc to feed multiple text fields into one text field. My supervisor is asking me to do this for two sections of a form I created using Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2.
1) Merge all 3 user entered text fields to an user editable summary text field at the end of the form.
2) Merge all 24 user entered text fields to an user editable summary text field at the end of the form.
Since they are all individual text fields in response to various questions, I cannot use the global binding function. I do not want the summary text field to override the individual text fields.
Here is the java scripting I placed on Show: calculate* Language: javascript Run: at client
1) PDStrengthWeaknessComments.rawValue + "_" + OCStrengthWeaknessComments.rawValue + "_" + CEBAStrengthWeaknessComments.rawValue;
Needless to say, these instructions are not working on my form. Would someone with a lot of experience or an IT degree kindly help me?

I just tried adding the front end as you suggested and confirmed that the Object > Value is set to "calculated - user can override" for the summary text field.
OverallAnalysisAppFeedback.rawValue = PDStrengthWeaknessComments.rawValue + "_" + OCStrengthWeaknessComments.rawValue + "_" + CEBAStrengthWeaknessComments.rawValue;
I was still unsuccessful.
I opened the debugger and received the following information. I do not understand what AdobeLiveCycle is asking me to define.
PDStrengthWeaknessComments is not defined

Script needed to print complete contents in scrolling text field Acrobat Pro 9 (MAC)

I've seen this question several times in my search but no real solution. My client wants a form with text fields that only show 1-2 lines when viewed on-screen but are scrollable so that the user can input a lot of text. I had no problem creating that. The problem occurs when I try to print the form. Only the visible lines of text print and not the entire contents of the field.
Is there a Javascript that I can assign to a Print button in my form that can be assigned to the Mouse Down action that will make the entire field contents print? I even recreated the form in WORD so that when the user inputs text into the field, the contents of the form move down the page. My client didn't like that approach. I'm not a programmer and so I haven't been able to write my own script to handle the printing issue. I'm MAC based so using Livecycle isn't an option for me. Thanks!

I'm using Acrobat Professional 9. I used to use Livecycle which was more flexible, but I no longer have a PC, only MAC and Adobe doesn't make Livecycle for the MAC.
The client doesn't want larger fields unfortunately. They have questions that require 2 or 3 pages of information to be entered into a small text field but they don't want large fields. If they're reviewing the answers online, it's fine - they can just scroll through the text fields and read the answers but they don't want the completed text fields to expand unless the form is printed.
I've already set up my text fields to be multi-line and scrollable so that the client can review all of the text in the field if they are looking at the saved PDF online. The problem I'm having is that I need the entire contents of the text field to be visible ONLY when printed out. They don't want larger fields to show in the form. The client was quite specific about it. The form is also going to be used infrequently, so collecting the data and storing it on a server isn't something they're particularly interested in. The information is also confidential, so they do not want me to be collecting and storing the data and sending it back to them in another format. The easiest option I could see was to create a script tied to a PRINT button that printed out the complete text field.
Thanks!

Trying to retrieve content from a text field & use it in a conditional statement

Hi Everyone,
I have a form with a text field and a button. The text field is called "orderNo", and the button is called "genOrder".
Initially the text field is empty, and clicking on the button fills the text field with an appropriate order number.
I need to check the text field for data (content) before writing the order number to it, this way if an order number is already present in the text field it will not be over written.
My intention is to use an if / else structure to perform the testing, however I don't know how to retrieve the content of the text field (if content is present!).
If anybody can suggest how I can go about retrieving the content of the text field and then use it in an if / else statement it will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Davo

How to convert the text field into currency field

Hi,
I have an requirement to converting the text field into currency.
If I convert directly it gives dump.
If I convert this to Numeric means it takes the decimals also as whole value.
Is there any FM to convert the text field into Currency field.
Please advice me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am on an SRM sytem, which unfortunately does not have th FM: PSSV_TEXT_INTO_FIELD_CURRENCY.
But I also need to transfer a string value like '12,99' to a field with type curr.
Can i Do that manually, or is there another FM?
I have already checked code with write to or pack/unpack.
But without success yet.
Something like this:
DATA: g_str(11) type c.
DATA: g_p type p.
WRITE '12,99' TO g_str CURRENCY 'EUR'.
is no use for me. Finally I need to move g_str to my curr-field, which causes st22.
also: PACK g_str to <curr-field or g_p> dumps.
Help appreciated.
regards, matthias

Clear the content of a text field

hello guys,
i have text fields in a screen which are been populated in the PBO. Now i want to clear the content of the text field such that the user can input new values in those text field.
so, anyone knows how i can achieve this.
tried,
text field name = ' ', space.
clear text field name.
but none worked.
thanks you for ur help.

Hi,
I think you have doen some thing like this in PBO.
screen_field_name = 'some value'.
So now in PAI you can do the following.
CASE sy-ucomm.
WHEN 'F_CLEAR'. " Fcode for the clear button in the screen.
CLEAR : field_name.
ENDCASE.
If the field is a mandatory field then you need to create a AT EXIT module and write the same code in that.
Hope it helps you.
Thanks,
Sri.

Read text file into clob column

Dear Oracle users and Oracle support,
I have a text file that includes hundreds of data entries. The format is below. What I need to do is read each entry (
<DATALOAD ................</DATALOAD>) into the CLOB column as a table record. Then create a loop in the table to convert each record into XML data type. I have general idea on how to convert CLOB to XML. The difficult part to me is read the each entry in the text file to CLOB table. Please let me know what technique I should use. Any recommendation and sample code are welcome! I appreciate!
Thanks,
Bing
<DATALOAD ................</DATALOAD>
<DATALOAD ................</DATALOAD>

Each entry is '<DATALOAD (sensitive data here, use....... instead)</DATALOAD>' that needs to be read into clob table as a record. That is basically what I need to achieve.
<DATALOAD ................</DATALOAD>
<DATALOAD ................</DATALOAD>
hundreds of them here........
<DATALOAD ................</DATALOAD>
<DATALOAD ................</DATALOAD>So, is it really a text file or is it a well structured XML file?
Just reading it into a CLOB to process is not likely to be the best way.
If each line of the file is a record, then you're likely to be better using something like External Tables.
If it's a structured XML file, then it can be read using CLOB functionality into an XMLTYPE datatype and then shredded down into relational table structures.
Be more clear in what your requirements are and we can help you better.

Split one column value into two columns using t-sql

Hi All,
I have one varchar column in a table.
Col1
ABC-12C4
BC-A345

How to split this into two columns like this using t-sql
Col1   Col2
ABC    12C4
BC      A345
CD
XYZ
Thanks,

sql

assuming a static delimiter, and the split will end up with a max of 2 columns, something like this would work. basically you just need to determine where the delimiter is, and then use the left and right functions to find the 2 pieces.
declare @t table(value varchar(10))
insert into @t(value)
values
('ABC-12C4'), ('BC-A345'), ('CD'), ('XYZ')
select
case
when charindex('-', value) != 0 then left(value, charindex('-', value) - 1)
else value
end as col1,
case
when charindex('-', value) != 0 then right(value, len(value) - charindex('-', value))
else ''
end as col2
from @t

How to combine two text fields from two lines to extend text.

I am working on a form to enter property descriptions sometimes it takes one and a half lines of text. Is there a way to force the first line of text to continue onto the next text field on the next line with out having to tab? I was wondering if there was something like a text overflow to the next field. An example is I might have two words in the middle of the second line and a field on both sides. I just want the top to connect to the first next line field. pcwp55

This must be the day after Christmas or something Crazy people like me are still working. Okay -- I figured it out. Add a table with a single row and two columns, then insert a text field in each one, making it side-by-side. The trick is to make sure it is within the subform, and you must select the row and make sure to check "Allow Page Breaks within Content" on that row, because it isn't a default. It works. Thanks (to myself!).
