Possible to automatically select text field data on enter

I have been trolling this forum for a couple weeks and have figured out everything on my form except this issue.
I would like my form to automatically select the "data" that is in a text or numeric field when the field is entered.
For example: If I open a form that has been filled out previously I would like each field's data to be selected when I enter the field either by tab or clicking on the field. This way I can overwrite the current data much easier without having to double click to "select all" or backspace to delete the current field. It is possible that the data should stay the same so I dont want the data to be deleted on enter just "selected"
Thanks for your help,
Joe

Hi Joe, When using the keyboard and tabbing to a field all the fields contents are selected, but this doesn't happen when using the mouse and clicking into a field. Have a look at this sample which tries make the mouse behave the same as the keyboard http://adobelivecycledesignercookbookbybr001.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/on-click-select-all-t ext-in-form-field.html.

How to calcaulate the text field data

hi frnds need help,
how to find difference bet time if i taking the data from texts fields data i.e long text
i called the FM & passed the parameters
of text data but iam gettin answer as zero
i hope ur gettin my point

Hi
You have to use READ_TEXT fun Module to fetch the Long text data by passing the correct paramters like OBJECT,ID,OBJECTNAME and LANGuage fields
see the doc
READ_TEXT
READ_TEXT provides a text for the application program in the specified work areas.
The function module reads the desired text from the text file, the text memory, or the archive. You must fully specify the text using OBJECT, NAME, ID, and LANGUAGE. An internal work area can hold only one text; therefore, generic specifications are not allowed with these options.
After successful reading, the system places header information and text lines into the work areas specified with HEADER and LINES.
If a reference text is used, SAPscript automatically processes the reference chain and provides the text lines found in the text at the end of the chain. If an error occurs, the system leaves the function module and triggers the exception REFERENCE_CHECK.
Function call:
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
EXPORTING CLIENT = SY-MANDT
OBJECT = ?...
NAME = ?...
ID = ?...
LANGUAGE = ?...
ARCHIVE_HANDLE = 0
IMPORTING HEADER =
TABLES LINES = ?...
EXCEPTIONS ID =
LANGUAGE =
NAME =
NOT_FOUND =
OBJECT =
REFERENCE_CHECK =
WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE =
Export parameters:
CLIENT
Specify the client under which the text is stored. If you omit this parameter, the system uses the current client as default.
Reference field: SY-MANDT
Default value: SY-MANDT
OBJECT
Enter the name of the text object to which the text is allocated. Table TTXOB contains the valid objects.
Reference field: THEAD-TDOBJECT
NAME
Enter the name of the text module. The name may be up to 70 characters long. Its internal structure depends on the text object used.
Reference field: THEAD-TDNAME
ID
Enter the text ID of the text module. Table TTXID contains the valid text IDs, depending on the text object.
Reference field: THEAD-TDID
LANGUAGE
Enter the language key of the text module. The system accepts only languages that are defined in table T002.
Reference field: THEAD-TDSPRAS
ARCHIVE_HANDLE
If you want to read the text from the archive, you must enter a handle here. The system uses it to access the archive. You can create the handle using the function module ACHIVE_OPEN_FOR_READ.
The value '0' indicates that you do not want to read the text from the archive.
Reference field: SY-TABIX
Default value: 0
Import parameters:
HEADER
If the system finds the desired text, it returns the text header in this parameter.
Structure: THEAD
Table parameters:
LINES
The table contains all text lines that belong to the text read.
Structure: TLINE
Exceptions:
ID
The text ID specified in the parameter ID does not exist in table TTXID. It must be defined there together with the object of the text module.
LANGUAGE
The parameter LANGUAGE contains a language key that does not exist in table T002.
NAME
The parameter NAME contains the name of a text module that does not correspond to the SAPscript conventions.
Possible errors:
The field contains only blanks.
The field contains the invalid characters * or ,.
OBJECT
The parameter OBJECT contains the name of a text object that does not exist in table TTXOB.
NOT_FOUND
The system did not find the specified text module.
REFERENCE_CHECK
The text module to be read has no text lines of its own but refers to the lines of another text module. This reference chain can include several levels. For the current text, the chain is interrupted, that is, one of the text modules referred to in the chain no longer exists.
WRONG_ACCESS_ TO_ARCHIVE
The exception WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE is triggered if an archive is accessed using an incorrect or non-existing archive handle or an incorrect mode (that is, read if the archive is open for writing or vice versa).

Is it possible to have editable text field in interactive report?

Is it possible to have editable text field in interactive report?
Thanks,

Hi,
I followed your suggestion and defined an IR with apex_item.text columns and it works fine. Now however I face a new problem when I run the page and use the standard Search Bar:
- Click on Actions/Filter
- Select a column, for example the employee name.
- Open the Expression field LOV: I correctly see the different names.
- When I select one of the names, in the Expression field, instead of the name, I see:
"<input type="text" name="f03" size="20" maxlength="2000" value="Eugene" />"
Horrible!!!!!!
Is there a way to see the name and not that expression? The same thing get downloaded, so it´s really annoying.
Thank you very much in advance for your help!!!

How to remove the automatically generated text fields from the InfoSet

I followed the procedure by SAP help.
Automatically generated text fields are marked with a 'T' on the icon in the InfoSet. You can remove the automatically generated text fields from the InfoSet in the initial screen of the InfoSet maintenance under Further Functions -> Delete Text Fields. Cancel the DataSource creation on the next screen and delete the text fields in the InfoSet maintenance transaction.
I know that there is an option "No automatic text recognition" when I create a new InfoSet, however, I couldn't find out how to change an existed InfoSet. I checked menu Goto->Global Properties, but that option is disabled. Is there a way to remove text fields from an existed InfoSet?

Hi,
In the initial screen (when you enter transaction code SQ02) type your infoset name and goto menu: Infoset -> More functions -> Delete text fields. this will delete all text fields.
I hope this helps to resolve the issue.

How can a webpage refresh automatically if some new data has entered the da

hi,
How can a webpage refresh automatically if some new data has entered the database.
with thanks
jp reddy

There have been several discussions on related topics. HTTP/HTML is not a "push" protocol and therefore is not well suited for this type of application. I would recommend setting a reasonable refresh rate using a META tag or switching to another technology (i.e. Applets) that can provide a push environment.

hello friends, Happy New Year..
i have a varchar2(200) size field and i am Entreing data into it like this;
Chairman Name1
Member    Name2
Member    Name3
Member    Name4
Member    Name5
Member    Name6

TYVM.

You can also try the below :
Assumption here is that you will always have data in that column in 7 lines.
rec.rowno in (2,4,6,8,10,12,14) is included to create empty row in between each row.
create table test(a varchar2(200));
insert into test values('Chairman Name1
Member    Name2
Member    Name3
Member    Name4
Member    Name5
Member    Name6
Secretary Name7');
commit;
select
       case
         when rec.rowno = 1 then
               substr(a,1,instr(a,chr(10),1,1) - 1)
         when rec.rowno in (2,4,6,8,10,12,14) then
              null
         when rec.rowno = 3 then
               substr(a,(instr(a,chr(10),1,1)+1),instr(a,chr(10),1,2))
         when rec.rowno = 5 then
               substr(a,(instr(a,chr(10),1,2)+1),instr(a,chr(10),1,3))
         when rec.rowno = 7 then
               substr(a,(instr(a,chr(10),1,3)+1),instr(a,chr(10),1,4))
         when rec.rowno = 9 then
               substr(a,(instr(a,chr(10),1,4)+1),instr(a,chr(10),1,5))
         when rec.rowno = 11 then

Hi
I created the "read" and "update" methods in my application service. How can I call them? I created and implemented the methods just like here: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/340fc0ea-0c01-0010-74bf-965b11031e77
Operations:
- readMyEntityService:
- updateMyEntityService
Implementation:
retValue = getMyEntityService().read(key);
getMyEntityService().update(dS0);
In Web Dynpro there is this update method with the code above (in my original post).
How can I call the update-method????????
Kind regards
Bettina

How can I get the tab key to select text fields only?

Since upgrading to Firefox 4 on Windows, the tab key functions differently. How do I change it so that it only selects text input fields?

The answer is: The bug is in the UI. Speech recognition was enabled, by default it uses the bare escape key as a "mic on" indicator, and it does not leave any trace in the keybord configuration. So that is the bug. It needs to leave a trace there, a la: "X Listen-for-voice-command ^" under Mission Control.

How to create pdf files with text field data

how to create pdf files with text field data

That looks like it should work, but it doesn't.
I opened the PDF I had created from Word in Acrobat (X Pro). Went to File > Properties. Selected "Change Settings". I then enabled "Restrict editing...", set a password, set "Printing Allowed" to "none", "Changes Allowed" to "none", and ensured that "Enable copying of text..." was disabled.
I saved the PDF file, closed Acrobat, opened the PDF in Reader, and I was still able to select text and graphical objects.
I reopened the PDF in Acrobat, and the document summart still shows everything as allowed. When I click on "show details" (from File > Properties) it shows the correct settings.
Any ideas?

Help with repeating text field data on subsequent pages

I am very new to adobe live cycle designer. I developed a form and I would like some of the text fields on page 1 to fill automatically with the same information on pages 2 and 3 so the user does not have to be filling out the same information over and over.(The information on the other pages is going to be the same as the one on page 1.
Is there a way to do this? THANKS!
Matty

Thank you so much for your quick response. IT WORKED and you have saved me a lot of time. Are there any books available in the market for those of us who want to get more proficient in the program? I just came from a very well known bookstore and they did not have any.
THANK YOU AGAIN!

MDM Syndication - Is it possible to split a text field?

I am trying to find a way to manage multilingual R/3 Purchase Order Text in MDM. The problem I am having is that we want to maintain this as one field in MDM, which the only feasible option appears to be a Text Large field. Text fields are too short now that they are only 333 characters, Lookups are not involved so this cannot be a multivalued Text field, Text Blocks don't seem to work for this, and Qualified Lookups don't appear to handle the multi-lingual aspect.
The problem is, somehow this one large text field needs to be broken down when sent back to R/3, as R/3 can only handle 133 characters per line. As far as I can tell, there is no way to do this.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

If I have understood your probelm correctly, then I think you want to import the Multilingual data in MDM. You can easily do that by Pivoting the source and then Importing the MUltilingual data into MDM.
Then in the Syndicator, you can split the Multilingual Fields BY Language BY Value, (which is a feature present in the Syndicator)into Various fields, which you can indivually map it to the different destination fields. For this, you must have multiple fields in your Destination side so that you can map them individually with the Splitted fields.
Please refer below to get info on the above mentioned feature:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm550/helpdata/en/ff/37e4c6857449388ddb6c77f160ac4f/frameset.htm -> GO to-> Multilingual Support-> Multilingual Opeartions->Splitting Multilingual Source Items.
I think this what is what your requirement is. For refrence , kindly go through the link below, which will guide you to import the Multilingual Data and then Syndicate the file in .CSV format.
