Populate Tabular Form Date with Date Sitting on Form itself (i.e. :P#_Date)

Hello,
I have a tabular form with two date fields. I need to populate these date fields with two date fields sitting on the form itself.
The form dates are ":P#_Start_Week" and ":P#_End_Week". These dates can change, based on the user entering the data.
I then need to move these dates into the tabular form dates for update to a table, when the user clicks the save button on the tabular form entry. I can't seem to figure out how to make this happen.
On the tabular form element I select Default Type PL/SQL or Function
Default - sysdate
This works fine, but trying to use item(application or page item name) with the form field date name does not. I'm still really new to the APEX world, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Elaine

Thanks to all who were in the process of getting ready to help.
I found my answer in the threads, after reading many.
Here is the answer:
Re: Default a date in a tabular form
Posted: Apr 14, 2006 3:34 AM in response to: MikeSolis Reply
Sorry, didn't realize you are using a tabular form,try this instead :-
Make the default type as "PL/sql source or function" and the default as "to_date(:F586_TODAYDATE)"..shown below. I made sure my computation which sets the application item returns a date.
Display as - Text field
Default Type :PL/SQL Expression or Function
Default :to_date(:F586_TODAYDATE)
Reference Table Owner - TEST_SCHEMA
Reference Table Name -EMP
Reference Column Name -HIREDATE

Performance question when compare date with date or char with char

Hello from Germany (Frankfurt) !
I am working on Oracle 9.2.0.8.0
and have to solve following problem:
Comparison of a date and char fields.
Now two ways to do it.
Either I compare char with char and convert date to char,
or I compare date with date and convert char to date.
Now the performace question. Which operation takes more effort for the database?
So why not to try and to see the results?
First create table:
CREATE TABLE TEST (
char_date VARCHAR2(8),
real_date DATE
NOLOGGING;
Then insert 1.000.000 rows
BEGIN
for x in 1..1000000
loop
insert into test (char_date, real_date) VALUES('19990101', TO_DATE('2006.01.01', 'YYYY.MM.DD'));
end loop;
COMMIT;
END;
Collect statistics
EXEC dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('TESTER', 'TEST');
Now run some selects for date to char conversion:
Elapsed: 00:00:00.00
SQL> select * from test t where TO_DATE(char_date, 'YYYYMMDD') > real_date;
no rows selected
Elapsed: 00:00:03.02
SQL> select * from test t where TO_DATE(char_date, 'YYYYMMDD') > real_date;
no rows selected
And some selects for char to date conversion:
Elapsed: 00:00:03.02
SQL> select * from test t where char_date > TO_CHAR(real_date, 'YYYYMMDD');
no rows selected
Elapsed: 00:00:02.05
SQL> select * from test t where char_date > TO_CHAR(real_date, 'YYYYMMDD');
no rows selected
Elapsed: 00:00:02.05
SQL>
As you see when I compare char with char and convert date to char it seems to be faster (almost 1 second)
Is the test correct?
I still not sure, what gets better performance...
Any idea?
Thanks!

Depends on whether you want the right results or not.
Why don't you run the following two queries and see if the difference in results tells you anything?:
with t as (select to_date('01/02/2007', 'dd/mm/yyyy') date_col from dual
           union all
           select to_date('02/02/2007', 'dd/mm/yyyy') from dual
           union all
           select to_date('03/02/2007', 'dd/mm/yyyy') from dual
           union all
           select to_date('03/03/2006', 'dd/mm/yyyy') from dual)
select *
from   t
where date_col < to_date('04/03/2006', 'dd/mm/yyyy');
with t as (select to_date('01/02/2007', 'dd/mm/yyyy') date_col from dual
           union all
           select to_date('02/02/2007', 'dd/mm/yyyy') from dual
           union all
           select to_date('03/02/2007', 'dd/mm/yyyy') from dual
           union all
           select to_date('03/03/2006', 'dd/mm/yyyy') from dual)
select *
from   t
where to_char(date_col) < '04/03/2006';

Problem populating html form fields with data from database.

I'm using a straight forward piece of code to populate a form with data from a database, to create and 'edit record' page. The code is as follows;
TO RETREVE THE DATA FROM THE DATABASE;
     $query = "SELECT * FROM $table WHERE newsletter_id = '$newsletter_id'" ;
     mysql_select_db($database) ;
     $result = mysql_query($query, $connect);
     $numRows = mysql_num_rows($result);
     $dbnewsletter_title = mysql_result($result,$i,'newsletter_title');
TO POPULATE THE FORM FEILD;
<tr>
          <td width="140"><p class="admin">Newsletter title</p></td>
          <td><input name="newsletter_title" type="text" <? print "value=$dbnewsletter_title";}?> /></td>
        </tr>
However, when I view the page, the string shows in the text feild, but seems to be split at the point of the first space. So basically only the first word of the string shows in the text field. If I try to print '$dbnewsletter_title' outside of the table, the string is shown in full as it should be.
Does anyone know what is causing this problem?
Many Thanks

Put the value in quotes:
<?php print "value='$dbnewsletter_title'"; ?>

PDF forms open with data in Acrobat 6 but open Blank in Acrobat 9

I have various forms which I have filled with data using Adobe Acrobat 6 Professional. Now When i open them using the same, it shows the data inside the form (like it should).
Unfortunately, there are these new forms released that are not compatible with Acrobat 6 Pro, so now I upgraded and have both Acrobat Professional 6, and Acrobat Professional 9 installed.
When i open the forms with data which I have saved when i used Acrobat 6 Pro, they open all blank in acrobat 9 pro, what shall I do.
I have been looking for this answer for days now. All the data is very important, and I do not want to loose it, these forms are my business please help...
I am stuck in between different versions of Acrobat. Thanks.

Hi there,
I'm having this exact same problem, so I wanted to bump this back into circulation, since I've yet to find a fix - let alone any information on it - anywhere.
I can't attach a file at this point (confidentiality), but I'll try to create one that I can upload.
In our case, they are Government forms. I know they have security on them, and I know that Acrobat 9's security differs from that of Acrobat 6, so I have to figure something 'broke' in the compatibility.
Basically, we've used Acrobat Standard 4, 5 and 6 for ages. I finally got the go ahead to upgrade everyone to 9 Standard (and a few to 8 Standard). These forms, which were filled out over the past number of years, all show up fine in any Acrobat (Reader, Standard or Pro) from version 7 and below. Opening them in 8 or 9 show the form in it's entirety, but the fields completely blank. If I open it again in a lesser version, the data is once again viewable.
I'm really hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Although I've read the contrary, I can't believe Acrobat would create a product that didn't allow you to open previously created PDFs - even if it takes a patch, or plug-in, or some sort of setting change.
Well, that's my call for help. Hopefully someone has some answers since this thread died a year ago.
Thanks!

Blank form fields with data?

I've created a form in Acrobat and sent it to a few people to test. When they send it back to me, some people say even though they saved their data, when it's previewed in their browser (email) it looks blank. When I receive forms sent back to me, the form appears blank, but when I click in the field, the answer appears.
How can I fix the form so that no one is confused by a blank form after they fill it out? I'm not concerned about receiving the blank forms since there is data, I'm more concerned that a customer will see a blank form after they've filled it out and get frustrated.
BTW, we've tried opening the forms returned to us in MAC and PC, same problem.
Thanks,
D

The problem occurs when the Preview application on a Mac is used to fill-in the forms. It is well known the Preview corrupts PDFs in a number of ways and it should be absolutely avoided when using PDF forms. The damage it does to a document cannot be repaired, but you can open the corrupted form in Acrobat, export the form data (to an FDF or XFDF file), and import it back into a blank form. Then inform your users to use Adobe Reader and not Preview.
Also, some PDF viewers (e.g., iOS's built-in viewer) have no support for PDF forms at all, so forms will appear blank when opened. The fix for this is to have them open the form in Adobe Reader. This is assuming the form was not corrupted with Preview.

Replacement of FORECAST DELIVERY DATE with DATE OF FIRST RECEIPT

Please help me in my scenario below and post your valuable comments-
My Scenario is like -
For example, In REPORT, For the item 10 of the order 4700035361 our FIRST RECEIPT DATE is in march (14/03/2011) and FORECAST DELIVERY DATE is in december (30/12/2011). This purchase order item was completely received.
Requirement is like---
Associated cube is ZCUIMP01.
(1) The evolution will consist of replace the FORECAST DELIVERY DATE with FIRST RECEIPT DATE of the item.
(2) The period (Fiscper and Fiscyear) will also be modified.
(3) Hence the calculation of the YTD will take into account the order and its receipt date.
(4) The adjustment of the history will be necessary for the year 2011.
Can anyone suggest, from where i should start my analysis (Should it be Infocube level??).
What will be the approach to fulfill all the above mentioned requirement (Should we think about Remodeling concept for creating new data model, if yes then how to do?).
Please reply asap, it will be great help for me.
My advance thanks to you.
Thanks & Regards
Rupali Singh

Hi Rupali,
As I understand there is a business change that you need to justify in our report. Unfortunately your explanation of the design has a considerable gap to visualize. In any case, if you need help on to how to approach such a change -
1. Understand the business change, its purpose and its imapct on your current design and the report.
2. Understanding the purpose is very important since you will then be able to find workarounds, redesign as per the change required.
3. Start from the query and check if your replacement of characterisitics with new characteristics can be obtained using functions like Replacement path, attributes, customer exits, etc. Changing a query/creating a new report on the existing model is the most feasible option.
4. If not, try exploring option to keep the design untouched, and creating a new InfoObject/DSO like structure to capture the date modifications, etc which then can be used on a MultiProvider.
Hope the above helps!

Can you check if the page uses a query region, if yes then you can enable advanced search programmatically by setting a property on the queryBean. If it is a manual search region then you can add the items through personalization and write code in the controller and AM by extending them. You can do the same with query region simple search panel as well.

How to repeat data with Data Merge?

How can I repeat data in the same text block with Data Merge? I have an Excel file with a class schedule that I need to import but when I use Data Merge, it wants to create a new page for each line. I want to keep the data in one text block per page and use Data Merge so when I get the new Excel file, it will be easy to update. This seems like it would be a simple thing to do, but I can't find the answer. Can anyone help?

Time for me to sound like a broken record. Data merge could be used for this but I don't think it was ever intended for such recurring publications like you are making. There will always be a lot of repetitive work that always will need to be performed after each update.
Instead, I think you should read up on using an XML workflow. Now, the XML out of excel needs transformed to be viable inside ID. But that is reasonably easy and can be done in an XML editor or upon importing into ID. Though it has been set aside for a time, I am making an example of a college course catalog for a customer. I'll see if I can finish it off by the weekend. If so, I'll post it to this thread.
Take care, Mike

Incorrect date with date from Windows ics Files since installing OS X Mountain

since installing OS X mounting the introducing fo dates with windows ics files is 5 month earlier. With iPhone no problem.

I'm having the same problem on my late 2008 MBP 15". Never had a problem before installing Mountain Lion.   Now I have to reboot about 4-5 times a week.
My computer doesn't lock up completely.    But Wi-Fi stops (you see only one black line on the WiFi icon), the clock stops (I was wondering why it seemed so early earlier tonight - the clock had been stopped for two hours) and many, but not all applications are "not responding".    However, if I try to quit the applications that appear to be okay, then they also become "not responding".   I have to force shut each application and then I can reboot using the Apple>Restart... command.
One of the things I've noticed is that many times it's iTunes that has the "not responding" message when the other apps don't, even if I haven't used it.   I'm going to Quit iTunes and see if it still happens.
I don't think it's heat related. My computer feels no hotter than it ever did.
If 10.8.1 fixes this, I'm okay with it (although it was still sloppy for Apple to release with such a bug.)    But the question is whether Apple even knows about it, since they provide no mechanism for non-developers to report bugs.

Loading data with dates using SQL*Loader

Dear everyone
I am currently trying to load some data containing dates using SQL*Loader.
For termination of fields I have been using ^ because I have some book titles which contain " and ' as part of their title. I found that the TO_DATE function did not seem to work using ^ instead of ". Would I be correct? I think the Oracle manual says that " must be used.
After some Web research I eventually amended my control file to as follows:
load data
infile 'h:\insert_statements\22_insert_into_SCAN_FILE_INFO.txt'
REPLACE
into table SCAN_FILE_INFO
fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '^'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(scan_id, scan_filename
file_format_id
orig_scanning_resolution_dpi
scanner_id, scanner_operator_id
scanning_date "TO_DATE (:scanning_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD')"
original_map_publication_id
reprint_publication_id)
A simple line of data is as follow:
280001, ^1910 - London^, 270001, 400, 250001, 260001, "TO_DATE('2007-06-06', 'YYYY-MM-DD')", 200019,
The final column being null.
However when I attempt that I get the following error message:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table SCAN_FILE_INFO, column SCANNING_DATE.
ORA-01841: (full) year must be between -4713 and +9999, and not be 0
If I change the scanning_date part to:
scanning_date "EXPRESSION TO_DATE (:scanning_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
or
scanning_date "CONSTANT TO_DATE (:scanning_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
I get the error message:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table SCAN_FILE_INFO, column SCANNING_DATE.
ORA-00917: missing comma
As soon as I do the following:
scanning_date "EXPRESSION, TO_DATE (:scanning_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
or
scanning_date "CONSTANT, TO_DATE (:scanning_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
I get too many values error message:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table SCAN_FILE_INFO.
ORA-00913: too many values
I also tested out scanning_date DATE "YYYY-MM-DD", but that just gave the same ORA-01841 error message as above.
I must be doing something very simple which is wrong but I cannot figure it out.
Kind regards
Tim

And why do you have scanning date as "TO_DATE('2007-06-06', 'YYYY-MM-DD')" in your infile? All you need is 2007-06-06. If you can not change infile generation code, use:
load data
infile 'h:\insert_statements\22_insert_into_SCAN_FILE_INFO.txt'
REPLACE
into table SCAN_FILE_INFO
fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '^'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(scan_id, scan_filename
file_format_id
orig_scanning_resolution_dpi
scanner_id, scanner_operator_id
scanning_date "TO_DATE(REPLACE(REPLACE(:scanning_date,'TO_DATE('),'''YYYY-MM-DD'')'), 'YYYY-MM-DD')"
original_map_publication_id
reprint_publication_id)SY.

How do I populate a popup window with data from the parent window

I am brand new to JSF so please help me. I have a JSF page where users enter some search criteria and it displays the results in a matrix table. I need to have a PRINT button or link on this page that pops up a new window that displays the same data but in a printer-friendly format.
The parent page is already created and works fine. Now, what is the best way to populate the same data in the popup? The data is stored in a hashmap and retrived by a managed bean with session scope. Below is the XHTML code for displaying the table in the parent page.

call javascript window.open("pagename"); & add some printer button there,
and put rendered attribute to button & in backing bean generate boolean getter setter for variable use same variable in jsp printer button in rendered attribute, in bean constructor pass some parameter throuh jsp page,
if parameter is match then it rendered attribute to true for button else not,
it means that in parent window you can not see printer button, but in same window in popup you will see printer button,
good luck
<h:commandButton rendered="#{bean.renderedButton}"/>
bean
private boolean renderedButton= false;(generate getter setter)
also pass parameter from UI to bean constructor
