Need help verifying positive numbers

I have a payroll program I've been working on for class the last few weeks. The most recent modification is that I need to confirm the hours and pay scale are entered in positive numbers. I've tried a while and an if...else statement and am getting an error telling me that I have an "illegal start" to the expression, and that the way I've written the statement is incompatible with boolean. Here is the code - I've colored the if...else statements red. The else statements don't give me an error, but the if statements do. (BTW, I've had the same problem trying to use a while statement.)
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with how I've written the if statement, but I can't put my finger on it. Can someone help?
Thanks,

How do I set a form field to accept whole numbers only?

I am using Acrobat X.
I have a number of fields in a form that are used in a variety of calculations. It is the nature of these fields that they need to contain whole numbers only, no decimals.
On the "Format" tab, I have set the field format to "Number" and the number of decimal places to "0"
On the "Validate" Tab I have set the "Field Value is in Range" "From 0", "To 999"
This is to ensure that the field can only contain a maximum of a three digit number.
But this still allows the user to enter decimal places. This messes up my calculations so I want to limit the user's input to whole numbers.
How do I do that?
Thanks!
Steve

I apologize for being dense but I really do not know how to apply your solution. Taking the path you suggested there is nothing under Tools>Document Processing relating to Java scripts.
I presume that I have to save this part somewhere in Acrobat:
// Document-level function
function triDigKS() {
　　　 // Get all that is currently in the field
　　　 var val = AFMergeChange(event);
　　　 // Reject entry if anythig but digits
　　　 event.rc = AFExactMatch(/\d{0,3}/, val);
And then use the call out:
// Custom Keystroke script
triDigKS();
Somewhere else but I don't know where thos two places are. Do I use the callout in the validation tab, or somewhere else?
Thanks
Steve

Keep Original Position Numbers in Purchase Order Creation

Hi community, i'm trying to solve the following problem in purchase order creation using BAPI_PO_CREATE1:
I'm loading a file with several order numbers and positions to be created in R/3. This file has a structure similar to:
OrderNumber;PositionNumber;Material;Quantity;Unit;.......
The purchase order is created successfully, but i need to keep original position numbers in the order. i.e:
Supposing this input file:
1900;08;993322;10.00;KG.....
1900;13;994455;12.00;KG.....
the positions in purchase order are created as
00010
00020
But i need positions to be created as:
00008
00013
Any ideas?????
Thanks you for your cooperation
Leonardo

Hi Leonardo,
I doubt if that is possible.
You can have the configuration set up to set the Item Number Interval to step size like 5,10,15 etc,
based on this value, your line item number will be
5,10,15,20...
10,20,30,40..
15,30,45,60
etc.
to set this value, you should go to SPRO.

Forcing Key Entry to numbers only

HI all,
I am using a textbox with constraints in my program and was wondering how do I set the keys on the mobile phone to enter numbers only without getting the user to have to hit the key that changes input from letters to numbers.
with regards
James

Duh!, that is what constraints does. I should have tested it first. smile
cheers.

Limit contacts to phone numbers only

Is there a way to limit the contacts list to phone numbers only instead of having it list people by phone and all of the email addresses that aren't associated with email addresses?

Try adding a + in front of the country code.

Excel allows array arithmetic (e.g. sum(a1:a5* b1:b5) where the contents of the cells are the results of formulae. Numbers only allows constants in the array cells. Right? Any work-arounds?

How do I export/save (iOS numbers)only 1 sheet to pdf??

How do I export/save (iOS numbers)only 1 sheet to pdf??
Everytime i tried it ,,,every pages/sheet lays in the pdf-file..

Trying with better english
In Numbers 08, I used to be able to export a single page to a PDF. Now it seems as though my only option is to export the entire document to the PDF (Share > Export...). Am I missing the option or did they remove it from us?

Creating a numbers only textfield

Hi everybody,
I was wondering whether or not you lot can help me out.. I'm new to fillable forms.
Basically I am creating a form for my clients to fill out to set up a standing order with my company.
A problem I have run into is when I create a textfield for two sections..
Bank Account number: I only want them to be able to type only numbers in here, first off I chose Format: Numbers, but then realised (not sure if it is common or not) that if their account number started with 0, it would not count that in the field and disappear. I then made an Arbitrary Mask, but again, I do not know how long account numbers should be, so unsure how many "9" codes to do, and if it was longer or shorter than the Arbitrary Mask code, it would not accept it.
I want to know if theres a way to force numbers only, but to include 0 as a number if thats what the account number starts with and not limit the amount of numbers they could have in their AC number (like the Arbitary Mask does)
I'm not very familiar with Javascript either so I can't really do the Custom textfields...
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Will

I have tried putting your script into the Validation section, but if I have Format:Numbers
it still does not include 0 as a number
If I input 0123456 after clicking out of the form, it turns to 123456
With the Arbitary Mask + the script, it still forces me to input as many numbers as I inputted into the Arbitary Mask section.
Thanks for your quick reply though

Hi,
Why the value to be negative. I think you cant enter negative value for a material. Kindly explain me your scenario.

Regex - Pattern for positive numbers

Hi,
I wanna check for positive numbers.
My code so far:
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("\\d+");
Matcher m = p.matcher(str);
boolean b = m.matches(); But I don't know how to check for positive numbers (including 0).
Thanks
Jonny

Just to make your life easier:
package samples;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
* @author notivago
public class Positive {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String input = "- 12 +10 10 -12 15 -12,000 10,000 5,000.42";
        Pattern p = Pattern.compile( "\\b(?<!-\\s?|\\.|,)([0-9]+(?:,?[0-9]{3})*(?:\\.[0-9]*)?)" );
        Matcher matcher = p.matcher( input );
        while( matcher.find() ) {
            System.out.println( "Match: " + matcher.group(1) );

Regex question - looking for numbers only

I'm getting a bit stuck with a simple regular expression.
I want to find the records that consist of numbers only. From the example below, I'm looking for just the first record, which has '1234'.
I tried looking for digits, but not alphabetic, but that doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
drop table test_regex;
create table test_regex as (
select '1234' col1 from dual
union all
select 'abcde' col1 from dual
union all
select 'a1b3c3' col1 from dual
union all
select '123c3' col1 from dual
union all
select 'a_*1' col1 from dual
union all
select ' 9 ' col1 from dual
union all
select '    ' col1 from dual
select *
from test_regex
where REGEXP_LIKE(col1, '[[:digit:]][^[:alpha:]]')
/

Something like this?
WITH t AS (SELECT '1234' col1
             FROM DUAL
            UNION ALL
           SELECT 'abcde' col1
             FROM DUAL
            UNION ALL
           SELECT 'a1b3c3' col1
             FROM DUAL
            UNION ALL
           SELECT '123c3' col1
             FROM DUAL
            UNION ALL
           SELECT 'a_*1' col1
             FROM DUAL
            UNION ALL
           SELECT ' 9 ' col1
             FROM DUAL
            UNION ALL
           SELECT '    ' col1
             FROM DUAL)
SELECT t.col1
FROM t
WHERE REGEXP_LIKE(t.col1, '^[[:digit:]]+$')

Why does Adobe Reader XI set my keyboard to display NUMBERS ONLY when I open a .pdf file?

I need to keep re-booting my laptop to resolve above bug. Ideas please?

ONE MONTH AND NO REPLY - WHO CAN ADDRESS THIS BUG????
WHEN I OPEN A .pdf document using ADOBE READER 11.0.2 BEHAVIOR is described BELOW. I CANNOT BE MORE COGENT.
It occurs both within Adobe Reader functions, such as page printing options, and in all APPLICATIONS (Gmail, Word, etc) once I close .pdf document.
SOLUTION: I MUST POWER DOWN/UP EACH TIME I USE ADOBE READER. THIS IS IDIOCY.
1. Keyboard appears RESET to display numbers ONLY, and numbers displayed to DO NOT CORRESPOND to numbers I TYPE.
AFTER ADOBE READER IS CLOSED I type "A" into say, an email address field and a random number, say, "9" appears in the field not an "A".
WHILE IN ADOBE READER I type "23" into the .pdf "go to page" field, and get other numbers completely.
Happens ONLY when I open a .pdf file with Adobe Reader 11.0.2 (XI).
Both behaviors occur whether I open a download .pdf file or attempt to open a .pdf via search engine Google + my Browsers.
2. Operating System = Windows 7.
3. My Browser = Internet Explorer 9 or Mozilla Foxfire; behavior is identical on either. Search engine used is Google.
Weird, but true, and tiresome. I've had it..
