Problem regarding Selection Text for a Variable declared in ABAP

Hello Experts,
I am new to ABAP development. I have declared a variable in ABAP..Then i went to GOTO>Text Elements> Selection texts.
Then when i am selecting a date to have dictionary ref, then the text part is changed to "Date in Format YYYYMMSS in 8 C", then i can't customised it any more. But i want to display the text as "START DATE"..but while running. it's displaying "DATE" only.... How i can get rid of this situation?
Another problem : the limitations for th text in selection text is upto 33 charcaters by default..How can i change that so that i can accomodate as many characters i want.
Please help...I got stuck here for long time
Thanks

Hi,
In the selection texts, don't use the check box to use the dictionary reference. So that you can declare your own text here.
If any text symbol is already declared and now if you want to increase the text, by default the maximum length is assigned.
So simply delete and insert the text symbol again. It will work.
For the selection texts, if you want to use more length, then use as below.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.
PARAMETERS pc_check AS CHECKBOX.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 4(60) text-020.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.
Here the text-020 will come in the selection screen for the above check box.

Problem with selecting text in Adobe Reader XI

Hi all, I am encountering a problem with Adobe Reader XI and it is very strange I could not find an alike issue on the internet so I guess I have to submit a question with it.
So here it is, I am using Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.2, operating system: Windows 7. I do not know it starts from when but it has the problem with selecting text - to be copied in pdf documents. I ensure that the documents are not scanned documents but word-based documents (or whatever you call it, sorry I cannot think of a proper name for it).
Normally, you will select the text/paragraph you want to copy and the text/paragraph will be highlighted, but the problem in this case that I cannot select the text/paragraph, the blinking pointer (| <-- blinking pointer) will just stays at the same location so I cannot select/highlight anything to be copied. It happens oftenly, not all the time but 90%.
This is very annoying as my work involves very much with copying text from pdf documents, I have to close the pdf file and then open it again so I can select the text but then after the first copying or second (if I am lucky), the problem happens again. For a few text I have to type it myself, for a paragraph I have to close all opening pdf documents and open again so I could select the paragraph to copy. I ran out of my patience for this, it causes trouble and extra time for me just to copying those texts from pdf documents. Does this problem happen to anyone and do you have a solution for this? I would much appreciate if you could help me out, thank you!

Yeah, I totally agree, this is very strange. I have always been using Adobe Reader but this problem only occurred ~three months ago. It must be that some software newly installed I think. But I have no idea.
About your additional question, after selecting the texts and Ctrl + C, the texts are copied and nothing strange happens. It's just that right after I managed to copy the texts, it takes me a while to be able to select the texts again. For your information, I just tested to select the texts and then pressed Ctrl, the problem happened. And then I tried pressing C and then others letters, it all led to the problem.
I guess I have to stick with left-clicked + Copy until I/someone figure the source of this problem. Thanks a lot for your help!

A problem highlighting/selecting text in Illustrator CS3

In several instances I can't highlight text to copy or to edit, other times it works fine. If I click the radio button for the text in layers (other layers may be locked to prevent accidental selection), the baselines appears and I should be able to highlight the text, but I can't. If I highlight some other unaffected area of text successfully (unlocked layers), sometimes it will allow me to select the problem text directly after. Then it will go back to being a problem, why?

I'm using the general text tool, I've locked the other sublayers to avoid accidentally selecting those items. Then I click the radio button on the sublayer I wish to edit or copy, which reveals the baselines. Then if I click within that object to highlight text with the cursor, the text tool creates a new textbox/sublayer and does not highlight the text I intended.

How to programatically select text for editing in an af:inputText control?

Hello, I am new to jdeveloper 11.1.1.3.0 and have searched and searched for info. I must be using the wrong terms as I cannot find any info or example on how to programatically select text for editing in an inputText field.
My request is to change an existing app so when the user presses a button, control should go to the inputText control (this part works, see existing backing bean code from another developer below) but automatically select the text within for editing by the user (saving the user from having to select the text first before editing).
Backing bean code to set the focus to an inputText field:
* sets the cursor to the given component id
* @param componentId of item on page
public void setFocusOnUIComponent(String componentId) {
    FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    ExtendedRenderKitService service =
      Service.getRenderKitService(facesContext, ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
    UIComponent uiComponent = facesContext.getViewRoot().findComponent(componentId);
    service.addScript(facesContext,
      "Component = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId('" + componentId + "'); Component.focus();");
} I hope this isn't a dumb question and would appreciate it if someone can steer me in the right direction.
Thank you for any info,
Gary

Hi,
not a dumb question at all. Before answering it, here some comments on the code you pasted in your question
1. UIComponent uiComponent = facesContext.getViewRoot().findComponent(componentId);
This code line is not used at all in your method. So it seems you can get rid of it
2. "Component = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId('" + componentId + "'); Component.focus();");
I suggest to change it to
"var component = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId('" + componentId + "'); component.focus();");
as it is better coding practice to have variable names starting with a lower case letter and being flagged with the "var" identifier
For pre-selecting text in an an input component, there is no API available in ADF Faces, which means you need to reach out to the rendered HTML ouput. To access the markup for the rendered component, you can try
var markup = AdfRichUIPeer.getDomContentElementForComponent(component)
If this markup returns the HTML input component then you can use JavaScript you find on the Internet to select the area of it. If it does not return the input component then you may have to use
document.getElementById(componentId+'::content')
Note however that working directly with generated HTML output bears the risk that your code breaks when - for whatever reason - the ADF Faces component rendering changes in the future

Enabling Key and text for the Variable Selection screen

I need to display key and text for a characteristic when selecting the drop down menu in the variable selection screen of a web report. In the Business Explorer tab within the info-object, I changed the General Settings to display Key and text, but when I open the drop down menu for this characteristic, it is still displaying the key only. Is there some other place where this change needs to happen?

Problem with selecting text in a PDF document

I'm having a problem with Acrobat 9 and Reader 9. PDF document that has copying and selecting permissions granted, when I highlight text for copying, some of it gets highlighted and some doesn't. Put the same document on several computers in the office, same issue. It's the document, but I can't figure out what the deal is.
We need to copy large portions of this into a new tech manual.
Can someone help

Without further information, my first reaction is to think that the texts that you cannot copy are included as images.

Problem with selecting texts

My iphones note app just started giving me problem today,
it crashes everytime i try to select texts
same problem occures when i try to select texts in other apps
like opera mini and safari
can someone pls help me with this
i already tried rebooting and restoring from back up
any other ideas

Can you tell if the text is actually going through? If it goes through you will see a check mark next to it if not it will have a clock. I've encountered this infrequently and quite honestly is solved with a battery pull. Power the phone down remove the battery for about a minute then reinstall and power up. Hope this helps.

How to mofidy the selection text for a report

Dears,
Do you know how to modify a selection text in the selection screen of a standard report, such as changing "Storage Location" in the selection screen of report MB5B to "storage Loc"?
one of a way to realize it is to modify the text of relevant data element.
except modifying the data element directly, It seems that use SE63 could do it, but I forgot how to use it.
Thanks all for your reply.

Text for Exit Variable Values

Hi
We are populating the variable with the exit function module and I am using this variable as an user restriction of values. When my user opens the input box to select the values of this variable, there not able to see the attributes that are there for that characteristic as well as description of the master data values. The only thing that they are seeing is the key values that are populated by the exit. Can you please let me know what is the reason for this behavior and we are using web excel interface and using BW 3.5 version
Thanks,
Raj.

Hi Guys
I have solved this. I had to select the Planning level in the variable component to populate the text in the variable of type exit.
Thanks,
Raj.

Regarding Select using FOR ALL ENTRIES (FAEI)

Hi all,
Please help me with Select using FOR ALL ENTRIES (FAEI)
Thanks in advns,
Das.

Hi,
This version of the SELECT statement was the only way to join tables until SAP release 3.0E. It is recommended that the SQL JOIN be used. However, this is an alternate method of joining tables that may be used in some circumstances. Remember, SQL JOIN doesnt utilize the SAP internal database buffer.
Example:
    SELECT EKGRP FROM T024
           INTO TABLE T_024.
    SELECT MATNR WERKS EKGRP FROM MARC
           INTO TABLE T_MARC
           FOR ALL ENTRIES IN T_024
           WHERE EKGRP = T_024-EKGRP.
Prerequisites:
The driver table cannot be empty. This would cause one full table scan.
In general, keep the driver table as small and unique (in regards to the fields that would be needed for referencing in the FAEI) as possible. If duplicate entries are not deleted, identical data is read unnecessarily from the database.
If FAEI is used, the selected field list must be a superset of all the key fields of the database tables used in SQL. This is absolutely required to avoid data loss since the DB interface in R/3 returns unique sets of the result set to the application program. Failing to ensure this may cause problems when you want to get all records from a database table that match a certain condition.
Avoid using FAEI on a small DB table (like configuration tables). This could potentially cause full table scans for each FAEI packet. Even if it does index range scan, it is better to get data from the small DB tables by individual SELECT without the use of FAE.
Always use FAEI in conjunction with a DB index otherwise it would cause multiple full table scans (one table scan for each FAEI packet).
The first field(s) of the DB index should refer to the fields of the FAEI driver table in the SQL WHERE clause. Do not leave gaps between index fields in the WHERE clause. Inefficient index access will impact every FAEI packets.
FAEI works best when retrieving a small percentage of data from a Database table. When a large percentage of data is needed, consider getting data out of the DB table without FAEI implementation, and then do additional filtration in your application
Reward points if found helpfull...

What happen to the ability to select text for speech?

What happen to the ability to highlight text and have the imac read the selected text out load back to you?

I am having this problem too, on mountain lion.
For example, before in Preview, you could select text to be read in text-to-speech. Now, this feature seemed to have just vanished! What happened?

Cannot enter value in selection screen for Hierarchy variable.

Hi All,
I have a hierarchy variable on the selection screen for Org unit.
When i execute the report via Bex or RSRT i am able to enter the value directly into the selection screen input field without going for F4 help and then selecting the value.
But when the same query is used in web template and executed the input field for the variable on the selection screen is greyed out and doesnt allow to type in the value. Only way to fill in the value is via F4 help.
Can anyone tell why is this happening and is there any way this can be changed?
Thanks in advance.
-RJ

Hi Prakash,
I am not able to select or click on the input field of the selection screen before and after selecting the value
CTRL+K doesnt work for me.
The display field is populated only when i select a node from the F4 help screen.
When executed from RSRT the field is highlighted and i am able to enter the value unlike when executed on web browser.
The variable is Mandatory multiple single value readu for input.
I found an article saying that for hierarchy node variables the values are forced by F4 value help as the values that are entered manually might not be unique.
This is the link

I would like to know if there is a work around or setting that can be made to make it work?

Problem with view object for global variables

Hi,
I'm using jdeveloper 11.1.2.3.0
We are using view object with transient attributes for global variables.
we defined the view as explained here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/b31974/bcstatemgmt.htm#ADFFD19610
also we defined one of the attributes as primary key.
When we start to test our application with disable connection pooling we got some problems.
sometimes the row in the global view object is deleted.
(for example after using executeEmptyRowSet on other view object).
it looks strange, we couldn't fוnd why does it happen.
Any idea?

As Timo said, it is very hard to help without source.
Are you sure that you do the next step:
After the call to super.prepareSession(), add code to create a new row in the transient view object and insert it into the view object.
