Problem with formatting failure caption...

This might be a bug or a bad Captivate file.
Project file (one of 17) has sucess and failure captions. Set the Failure as adobe red/ verdana 12.
On day 1 I do this and all is well.
On day 3 I open this file and find the failure caption set to adobe red with a yellow highlight behind the text.
Checked the preferences for the project file. Set to adobe red/verdana 12
On the specific failure text I choose edit preference to deselect the yellow highlight
Change to white-no luck
Change to "None"-no luck
Change to something other than yellow-accepted but now the new color is "locked" and cannot be reverted to the yellow.
I'n new at triaging Captivate issues. Thinking about opening the backup file or fetching a copy from my archives on the premise that this individual file is corrupt. I'd really not want to have to recreate from scratch.
Any thoughts would be helpful.

It's really very simple.
In Captivate go to File > Export > Project Captions and Closed Captions > Name it > Open resulting Word Doc, it will look like this:
The column on the right, outlined in red, titled "Updated Text Cation Data", is the one you will need to update
In Word (not sure which version you have, this is 07) open the Find and Replace tool. Instead of entering text, click the button labeled "Format" then choose "Font".
Another dialog box will open, "Find Font".
Enter in the current font info, including the color red as that will separate the failure captions from all the rest easily in Word. Then click inside the Replace With field and again click the Format Button and repeat the font process, now entering in the Bold that you desire.
Now, you can either click replace all (you run the risk of changing captions you didn't want to, though choosing red should eliminate that and worked in my test) or replace them one by one so you're sure you only change the ones you intend to.
Once you finish save and close the document with it's original name. Then in Captivate simply import the Captions back in (File > Import > Project Captions and Closed Captions) and viola, you're all set.
Have a good night and good luck in the morning. I figured I'd throw this out there in case I'm tied up tomorrow. If you already knew maybe someone else can benefit.

Application Express 3.1 + BI-Publisher + problem with formating numbers

Hello together!
I use the Oracle BI Publisher Template Builder for Word (10.1.3.4) to generate RTF-Templates. I upload these templates in Oracle Apex (Advanced support-->BI-Publisher/OC4J as print service).
It works well, but I have a problem with formating numbers.
In Template Builder I define following number formats, for example: #.##0 for numbers like 1.454.234 and #.##0,00 for numbers like 54,80
In Template-Builder Preview it looks well.
But whatever I do, in use with Oracle Apex dots and comma are allready interchances in the printout.
That means,
1.454.234 become 1,454,234 in PDF-Report
54,80 become 54.80 in PDF-Report
Other than that, the layout is exactly the same like in Template Builder defined.
What's wrong?
Do I have to change any country parameter?
Juliane

I also had the same problem. I tried with normal formating of 99g99g999d99 instead of ##,##,##0.00 and it has resulted correct way.

SQL Developer 3 EA2 - Problem with formating plsql source code

I'm using sql developer 3 ea2. I have played with source code formating.
I have 2 issues with formating in source code editor.
I have a plsql string like the following extending over several lines.
s VARCHAR2(2000) := 'SELECT
col1, col2, col3
FROM table
WHERE col4 = :var';The result after apply "format" to my sourcecode ist:
s VARCHAR2(2000) := 'SELECT
col1, col2, col3
FROM table
WHERE col4 = :var';The second is that sql developer ist camelizing the previous line if I type a whitespace in plsql sourcecode.
How to switch that off??
The last issue is realy annoying!

I am having exactly the same problem. Every time you use Format Ctrl/F7 it adds new line feeds. Code starts off as:
command := '
select account_status, default_tablespace, temporary_tablespace,
to_char(created,"YYYY-MON-DD HH24:MI:SS"), profile
from Dba_Users@@
where username=:1' ;
First Format Ctrl/F7 get an extra blank line:
command := '
select account_status, default_tablespace, temporary_tablespace,
to_char(created,"YYYY-MON-DD HH24:MI:SS"), profile
from Dba_Users@@
where username=:1' ;
Then second Format Ctrl/F7, get THREE extra lines!!! It goes exponential!!
command := '
select account_status, default_tablespace, temporary_tablespace,
to_char(created,"YYYY-MON-DD HH24:MI:SS"), profile
from Dba_Users@@
where username=:1' ;
So far I've only really encountered the problem with dynamic SQL, which ignores the extra line feeds.
i am pretty sure this is a long standing SqlDeveloper Format problem, going back to V2.

Problem with formatting taglib

I am trying to use the JSTL formatting taglib using JBoss 402 and am having a problem with the <fmt:message tag. Every reference to a message resource, such as <fmt:message key="xyz" /> is not resolved, and instead the value '???xyz???' is always displayed.
I have made sure that my 'messages.properties' file is in /WEB-INF/classes so that it is in the classpath, and have included the tags below, but these have not changed a thing. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions as to what the problem might be?
<fmt:setLocale value="${locale}" />
<fmt:bundle basename = "messages" />

There are a couple of JSTL tags that deal with bundles.
The bundle tag you are using here needs the <fmt:message> tag nested inside it:
<fmt:setLocale value="${locale}" />
<fmt:bundle basename = "messages">
<fmt:message key="xyz"/>
</fmt:bundle>alternatively use the <fmt:setBundle> tag
<fmt:setBundle basename="messages"/>
<fmt:message key="xyz"/>Cheers,

Problem with formatting date with JSTL ans swedish locale

Hi,
I have a strange problem with JSTL fmt:formatDate -tag and swedish locale.
-------------------------- Extract from the JSP ------------------------------
<jsp:useBean id="date" class="java.util.Date" />
<fmt:formatDate value="${date}" pattern="dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm" />
With en_US and fi_FI locales date is printed just the way I want: 29.04.2005 13:28 but in se_SE locale it is printed: Fri Apr 29 13:30:09 EEST 2005
Has anyone had this problem before?
Thanks in advance!

Try using "sv_SE" locale.

Problem with formatting text in textobjects with right aligned tabulators

Post Author: Jens Kluesener
CA Forum: General
HiI want to print out some values in a line. So I put a Textobject in the Report with some right aligned tabulators (left aligned tabulators working fine). Then I insert a formula. In this formula i do this:"1"chr(9)"2"chr(9)"3"chr(9)"4"chr(9)"5"chr(9)"6"chr(9)"7"Look: Many ThanksJens

I think i found why.
There was no problem with TextField.
There was a problem with Array. "CityArea"
So each time I executed script it added new string in Array. And that is because i got like:
TextField
City 1
City 2
City 1
City 2
Running this script is Ok:
for (var i1:int = 0; i1 < CityArea.length; i1++)
_CityAreaString1 += " "+CityArea[i1]+"";
_CityAreaString1 += " ";
But outside of this for loop there is another for loop for adding Cities in CityArray.
I fixed it by adding empty array at the start of function
function myFunc():void
CityArea = [ ]; // Empty array fixed this issue
// LOOP FOR ADDING SHOPS IN CITY AREA
for (var j:int = 0; j < _Shops; j++)
CityArea.push(_Shop);
// FOR LOOP TO ADDING SHOPS IN STRING
for (var i1:int = 0; i1 < CityArea.length; i1++)
_CityAreaString1 += " "+CityArea[i1]+"";
_CityAreaString1 += " ";
Thank you for your help kglad

Problem with format displayed in output while using Pivot table

Hi All,
I am using Pivot table in 10.1.3.4.1 version for displaying dynamic type data. Data is coming fine but it is coming in very strange format. I have following two tables in my RTF Template.
Table1 using Pivot table
!http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2570/4092137243_924cca92ca.jpg!
Table 2 - A normal table
!http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/6651/table3p.jpg!
In the output PDF, “Table 2” shows data fine but “Table 1” shows very strange kind of behaviour if the columns exceed more than 5 in “Table 1” . If columns in Pivot table output are more than 5[at present according to my Table1 size] then columns more than 5 are shown on next page after Table 2 instead of displaying inside outer table “Table1“. Anyone has any idea what is the reason behind this strange behavior and how can I avoid it ?
Thanks

Hi All,
I tried including following piece of code in RTF as mentioned here: [http://winrichman.blogspot.com/2009/05/cross-tab-by-limiting-number-of-colums.html] but as a result it showed blank page in report. Nothing else.

Send Smart Forms within emails (html) Problems with format

Dear all,
the ABAP report SF_XSF_DEMO1 is a demo report which converts a certain smart form into HTML and then sends it as an email in html format.
Sending the email is possible without any problems but I am wondering about the email format.
<a href="http://www.imgbox.de/show/img/e4QvgzsS4L.jpg" title="Bilder hochladen">This screenshot shows how the email looks like.</a>
I am not happy with the email layout as the Smart Form "SF_XSF_DEMO1" is designed in a different way.
What do I have to adapt within the report in order to send an email that really looks like the Smart Form? Or is it a customizing issue?
(I would like to avoid having to send the Smart Form as PDF attachment...)
Thanks for you help!
Kristian Kindler

Hi Kristian,
When ever you send a smartform output as an HTML email, the system generates automatic style sheets which are not supported in many email clients such as Outlook 2007, hence you will face a formatting issue. We faced the same issue and had do it it like this:
Build a BSP page similar to the output which you want to send as an email. Now you can use the BSP URL to send the html email using cl_bcs class.
I have documented this in my article below-
http://divulgesap.com/blog.php?p=NDA=
Hope it helps.

Problem with formatting with Java in UNIX: URGENT

Hi,
I have a java program that writes lines into a file. The lines are formatted and should have whitespaces within. When I run the program in WIN2000 the formatting is preserved but when I run it in Sun Solaris each line gets compacted and no whitespaces are preserved. I need advise on how to preserve whitespaces in Sun Solaris.
I am using "FileWriter" class's "write" method to write to the file. Pseudo example of creating one of the line is given below.
FileWriter writer = new FileWriter (outFile);
StringBuffer outputString01 = new StringBuffer(200);
outputString01.setLength(200);
writer.write(outputString01.toString().trim()+"\r\n");
write.flush();
write.close();
I need to resolve this asap. Please advise.
Thx
Ayan

Interesting. As far as I know, when you create a StringBuffer of a given length, it is not filled with default values. So it is the behaviour on windows which I find puzzling. Concerning your problem, why don't you simply use StringBuffer#append?
StringBuffer outputString01 = new StringBuffer(200);
outputString01.append("Blah".trim()).append(' ');
outputString01.append("Blah1".trim()).append(' ');
outputString01.append("Blah3".trim());If you need more whitespace you can insert more. If you somehow need the inserts, I'd suggest you first fill the StringBuffer, i.e.StringBuffer outputString01 = new StringBuffer(200);
int l = 200;
outputString01.setLength(l);
for ( int i = 0; i < l; i++ )
outputString01.append(' ');
outputString01.insert(0, ("Blah").trim());
outputString01.insert(32, ("Blah1").trim());
outputString01.insert(53, ("Blah3").trim());Cheers, HJK

Problem with Formatting MacBook Pro

Hey guys!
I have a MacBook Pro (realeased in 2010) and I want to format it. It originally had the OS X Lion, then installed Mountain Lion and then OS X Mavericks.
I restarted and holded Control button until I get the options Maverics and Recovery and then chose Recovery etc. When I had the four options for the format process I chose the Disk Utility where I erased my hard drive as OS X Extended (Journaled) (Note that I also have a partition on and it will not erase for some reason). After when I closed the Disk Utility window and I was back to the four options I chose the Reinstall OS X Mavericks option and when I pressed continue it wouldn't do anything.
Anybody knows what the problem might be and how can I resolve it?
At first I thought it was something to do with the BootCamp Partition but I couldn't start-up the computer to try and resolve it as I have already erased all the Macintosh partition data.
If there is anyone that can help me on this I would be grateful guys!
Thanks!

Problem With Formatted Search.

Hi to all,
I have linked a formatted search to a UDF that lies at row level in AP Invoice. This field is used to display the Sales Order Price. The requirement is that from SO we create a purchase order and subsequently create a goods receipt and AP invoice.. Now in invoice it is showin perfectly fine whether it is copied from goods receipt or purchase order.. But in the purchase order and goods receipt screen this query will not work. And the same query used in AP invoice is being linked to these documents. Is there any work around for this?? Is it possible to run queries based on the form numbers?? If so ho do i pull the form number in the formatted search query??
Please Help!!!!
Regards
Aris

I recommend creating separate queries for each document.
ie
1 formatted search to lookup price on sales order from AP Invoice
1 formatted search to lookup price on sales order from GRPO
1 formatted search to lookup price on sales order from PO
then change the lookup to pull fields from the document that you are using as a reference.
when you are building the formatted searhes start by returning the values that are you are using as a reference. That way you are sure that you are pulling the correct information.
Then layer in the lookup to the sales order.
If you get stuck I recommend that you copy and paste the formatted search in SQL Server management studio and replace the variables refereces with real values.
In my experience troubleshooting queries is more effective when using SQL Server management studio. (the error reporting is better).

Problem with formatting the saved text to hard disk

I use a modified code from Macromedia for saving the content of a text filed on hard disk. See code at the end.
The code works fine and a text file is saved in the given location on the hard disk.
The problem is that all of the content of the text field appears in a very long single line.
The line breaks in the text field does not appear at all in the saved text file.
for example:
if the following is the the content of the text filed on the stage:
abcdef
jhijklm
nopqrst
uvxwyz
then the saved file is like: abcdefjhijklmnopqrstuvxwyz
No line break happens! How can this be fixed?
Thanks for any suggestions.
HR
******************* Here is the code *************************
--this handler saves the contents of the field into a text file called 'output.txt'
--it over writes anything that is in the 'output.txt' file.
global myFile
on mouseUp
if objectP(myFile) then set myFile = 0 --Delete the instance if it already exists
myFile = new(xtra "fileio") -- Create an instance of FileIO
openFile (myFile, the moviePath &"output.txt",0)--Open the file with R/W access
delete(myFile) --deletes the file
createFile (myFile, the moviePath &"output.txt) --creates the file again
openFile(myFile,the moviePath &"output.txt,0) --Open the file with R/W access
mySaveString = member("input").text --puts the contents of the field 'input' into the variable mySaveString
writeString(myFile,mySaveString) --writes text to the file
closeFile(myFile) -- Close the file
myFile = 0 -- Dispose of the instance
end

You need to replace the carriage returns (that aren't followed by a line feed) with the CRLF combination. Feel free to place the following JavaScript handler into a movie script and call it prior to writing your string to disk:
function jsStringToDOS (str) {
return str.replace(/(\x0D)(?!\x0A)/g, "\x0D\x0A");
global myFile
on mouseUp
if objectP(myFile) then set myFile = 0 --Delete the instance if it already exists
myFile = new(xtra "fileio") -- Create an instance of FileIO
openFile (myFile, the moviePath &"output.txt",0)--Open the file with R/W access
delete(myFile) --deletes the file
createFile(myFile, the moviePath &"output.txt") --creates the file again
openFile(myFile,the moviePath &"output.txt",0) --Open the file with R/W access
mySaveString = member("input").text --puts the contents of the field 'input' into the variable mySaveString
mySaveString = jsStringToDOS(mySaveString) -- convert to Windows CRLF characters

Problem with format mask and currency

Hi,
I am trying to apply a format mask to a report column.
I want my format to be: 4500 ==> $4,500.00
I have tried to apply: FML999G999G999G999G990D00, and i get #4,500.00
Do i have to set a currency parameter somewhere for this format mask to work?
I have done a select * from nls_database_parameters:
NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN

Immanuel,
Here's what I believe is going on:
1) Your database character set is US7ASCII. US7ASCII cannot store a '£' character.
2) Although the real NLS_CURRENCY symbol for NLS_TERRITORY UNITED KINGDOM is '£', it's displaying a converted character of '#', due to the above reason.
3) The currency symbol from the format mask is determined by your NLS_TERRITORY (and hence, your NLS_CURRENCY) settings for the session.
4) Your application is most likely setup to run with an application primary language of English United Kingdom. Thus, your application will always set NLS_TERRITORY to UNITED KINGDOM.
To get your desired result, either:
1) Change your application primary language to en-us
or simpler yet
2) Hard-code the $ sign in your format mask.

Problems with formatting negative numbers in Reports PDF web output.

Hi,
I have a problem where all the values in a column are right-aligned. The values are all numbers. If a value is negative, then the value is placed a character to the left, putting it out of alignment with the non-negative values. I can't figure out why this would be.
The problem doesn't appear in Reports Builder, or when the Report is generated to a PDF: File > Generate to file > PDF.
The problem only appears when the Report is called through the web application we've created for our client. It is output to a .pdf in a web browser- Internet Explorer 6.
I am running Oracle 10g.
Any ideas on solving this?
Regards,
James Sharman.

Just some clarification-
in Reports Builder, the values look like this:
100.50
100.00
-100.00
100.00
but when running from the web application, they go wierd and look like this:
100.50
100.00
-100.00
100.00
Regards,
James Sharman.
