Problem with Math In Calculated Fields

I am calculating a group incident rate for data returned from
a query. The formula is Number of cases multiplied by 200000
divided by number of hours worked. Cases in my report is the
calculated field: calc.CaseSum (the sum of cases for the group)
Hours is calc.SumHours (the sum of hours for the group). The actual
values for these variables (for the first group are 48 and 29427171
respectively. When I create the following calculated field called
rate using the formula: (calc.CaseSum * 200000) / calc.SumHours,
Cold Fusion Generates a Runtime Error:
Invalid ColdFusion expression in report. If the expression is
a string, ensure that it is within quotes. Error: (calc.CaseSum *
200000) / calc.SumHours is not a valid ColdFusion expression.
If I use the constant value "29427171" as the divisor, the
report works albeit only for the first group. Any ideas; is this a
bug, or am I misusing the product?
Addition: I forgot to mention I am using CF8. Also this
formula worked fine as a Report Total before I introduced grouping
and modified the calculated fields to reset on the change of a
group.

Sorry, I've been on another project for awhile. This problem
will certainly be a "show stopper" for me if I cannot resolve it.
As I mentioned in my original post, I used a constant in the
formula in lieu of the variable and the calculation worked. This
would suggest that CF does not have a problem with a large number.
In spite of that reasoning, I tried Tony's suggested (thanks
by the way!) with the identical outcome, only difference is the new
formula is displayed in the error message.
Tony, you also suggested that I set the variables using
CFSET... How would I do this within the report writer environment.
I had tried a similar approach: to perform half the calculation
i.e. that within the parenthesis, and assign that value to a
separate "calculated field: and then perform the rest of the
calculation on that variable with the same outcome.
I think that I may be dealing with a CF bug here, I'd like to
find a workaround... I've noticed that CF8 has a new patch, perhaps
after I apply it, I may be able to get this thing to work. I'm on
another project right now so it will be a few days before I can
test this theory, I report the result.
Should this fail, and no one can come up with a workaround, I
will report this to Adobe.

Problem with flow of expandable fields

Hi everyone,
I have important problem with flow of expandable fields in table in dynamic PDF form. The issue I am talking about you can see at the top of column 3 on page 2 in PDF in link below.
Here is uploaded PDF form and sample XML data (form has import button and is ReaderExtended that you can easily test it and see my problem):
http://www.speedyshare.com/718224676.html
Generally I have created table with 3 columns using Table object (each field has allow multiple lines selected and expand to fit). It is closed in FormBody subform which is flowed subform.
Row in table is repeatable and has “is allow to break page” setting set on.
Sometimes when there is a lot of text and row page break there is problem with flow.
For example text from one rows overlaps on text from next row.
I tried to solve this problem by changing row height, indents, font size, line spacing but always when I thought that I have fixed it I got another data which generated the same flow problem.
Did anyone met this problem earlier and found solution to this issue? This is really important for me and I am really in dead end so any hints would be really helpful.
I am using Adobe Livecycle Designer 8.1 and PDF form target is 8.
I really appreciate any help in this problem.
Thanks,
Kamil Dłutowski

I posted link to my form in my first post.

Problem faced when using calculated field as filter

Iam using an Oracle External Data Source.The external table contains a timestamp field and I add this to my data object.The year,month etc. functions work well on this field and results appear on list views.But when I try to generate a filter for this field and display the view I get errors.
SQLSYNTAXERROREXCEPTION_REPORTSERVER_STREAMINGLIST_INITIALIZE
Exception Message ORA-00904: "MONTH": invalid identifier
So,I tried out with the call center data object found in bam samples.This had a datetime field.Filters on calculated fields work fine here.
Is the former problem due to timestamp datatype or external datasource or anything else?
Thanks,
Raghuram

Answer to following questions will help me narrow down the problem:
1. Which version of BAM are you on - 10g or 11g?
2. What condition are you using in filter i.e. "is equal to", "is less than equal to", "is like"...etc?
3. In which format is the timestamp data being given in the filter? (by format, I mean mm-dd-yy HH:MM:SS etc)
4. Can you give the exact datatype of the DB in which this timestamp data is stored?

Adhoc query-Problem with Personnel no output field

Hi Gurus,
We are trying to run an adhoc query using a customized Info set(PNPCE logical database).
While running the query,we had selected Personnel no(from Payroll status P0003 table) as output field and Company code(from Org assignment P0001) as input field in the selection.
Problem is in the output field we are seeing the Personnel name details in place of Personnel no.Could anyone please suggest what could be the reason behind this and how to fix it.
Your help will be highly appreciated.

Hi Sushil,
The default output for fields with a text and a value (Name = text, PERNR = value) is the text. You can change this by right clicking on the output box in Ad Hoc and selecting "Value". If you want both name and number, select "Value and Text".
You can also change this default to Value from Text if in Ad Hoc, you go to Edit --> Settings. On the last tab, change the radio buttion for output default to Value from Text. This will change it for all fields so you would see the eight digit number rather than the name of the position or org unit. Thus, you may want to keep it at Text and use the right click to change specific fields as needed.
By the way, it is usually best to utilize the personnel number field from IT0000-Actions, although it can be obtained from any infotype if you include that field in the field group when creating your infoset.

Import Manager - Problem with 0..n field in Import Manager

Iu2019m having problems with XMLs that contain multiple or single tags in MDIS process. For example: I did the map using a XML with multiple tags for Address:
<address>
<item>
u2026
</item>
<item>
u2026
</item>
</address>
When I send two address or more Address, the Import Server work fine, but when I send only one Address, the address is not imported.
<address>
<item>
</item>
<item>
</item>
</address>
Opening the xml file with only one Address in Import Manager, I saw that the fields isnu2019t mapped, but when I open a xml file with multiple Address itu2019s open correctly.
The XSD cardinality for the Address\Item is 0..n

Hi Evandro ,
If it is processing the input file correctly through the Manul Import manager process then update your latest Map by using SAVE As option or else save this correct map with a new name altogether and use this new map in the port for automatic importing.
If your file is able to process correctly through the Import manager without showing any errors till the Import step in the Import manager then this map must be correct and shoul automate the importing correctly.
Provided you are using the similar file for automatic importing as well.The file name and the fields as well as the value mapping as saved in this corrected map must not differ with the input file else this saved map will not be able to import correctly.
Check to see if you have made correct setting for automatic importing by refering the below link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm550/helpdata/en/43/12036df94c3e92e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm (Automatic importing MDIS - Import manager ref guide>MDM import server(MDIS)>MDIS Consfiguration)

Problem with Per diem calculation in Travel Management module

Dear ALL,
We have configured Travel Management module in SAP and we have an issue with per diem calculation, viz., whenever we add an additional destination in the trip (T.code TRIP).
Ex: Employee's travel plan from 10/8/2011 (06.00 hrs) to 13/8/2011 (06:00 hrs)... in 24 hrs format. When the employee goes directly to one destination and coming back, the per diem calc is coming right. i.e., per diem amount for 3 days.
But when we add additional destination between the trip period- viz., either 10th eve (18.00 hrs) or on 11th Aug- the per diem calc is being done by system for 4 days instead of 3 days only.
In otherwords, for every additional destination in the itinerary, one extra per diem is being calculated (when we simulate in T.Code: PR05)
Would appreciate guidance ASAP.

Santosh

Problem with JPA @Embeddable class field in @Embedded

I have a Embeddable class and Embadded in all of my JPA Entities, the version(in DBUniqueId) field is mandatory for some JPA Entities and for others it should not be present.
My DBUser.java JPA Entity shouldn't have version field(DBUser table doesn't have one) and so I didn't include it in @AttributeOverrides of DBUser.java. when I try to run the JPA query it results in exception
Query:
List<DBUser> userList = (List<DBUser>)entityManager.createQuery(SELECT u FROM DBUser u WHERE u.userId.root=?1 AND u.userId.extension=?2).setParameter(1,"root1").setParameter(2,"ext1").getResultList ();

How do I inform to JPA Entity to ignore only the version field of the Embeddable in my JPA Entity @Embedded place.
So the above query can successful. Thank You!

Hello gimbal2,
Thanks for your response...
In my project I have created a class with name DBVersionUniqueId but my lead said no to it.
Only DBUniqueId should be used and make it work with or with out version fields.
I tried experimenting around, but didn't succeed.
Please Suggest some solution to make it work with DBUniqueId class.
Thank You.No, let your lead write the code. He/she seems to be the expert. I certainly have no clue how to do it and honestly I also cannot find any reason why it should be possible. Let me put what is required in other words:
- you have an entity with three properties, all of which are not transient. This means these properties map to three columns in the database according to the JPA specs.
- you have a table with only two properties
- you must and you shall use the object with three properties but at the same time one of the fields must all of a sudden be ignored by the persistence provider
It makes no sense to want to do that.
Correct answer: create a new object with only the two fields so the database and the object model match exactly
Wrong answer: try to create workarounds that in six months time nobody is going to understand why the hell it was done that way

Problems with Maths (decimals) In java calculations

In a normal calculator type in
(27.8 / 3) * 12 = 111.2
Do this in Java and I get
111.20000000000002
This is causing a problem in my calculations, is this a known bug and how can i get around it ?
Friendly Regards
Steven

Yes i know I will read the article but as I said just
wanted get this working before i go home today.
This is how I fixed it anyway
DecimalFormat threeDecimals = new
DecimalFormat("0.000");
thirdOfWk =
Double.parseDouble(threeDecimals.format(thirdOfWk));
Thanks for the help guysI think you are going to need to do some rounding otherwise this will not fix all the problems.
Consider that:
111.20000000000002
truncated to 3 decimals is:
111.200
But what if the number comes up something like this (I am not sure that it can happen but I would guess that it can):
123.19999999999998 (instead of 123.2)
truncated to 3 decimals is:
123.199
And I think doremifasollatido is correct and you have another problem (because you are putting the truncated number back into a Double).
You really need to use BigDecimal or integers. For integers you would need to scale the numbers and then display with decimals.

Problem with update of BLOB field in a table with compound primary key

Hi,
I've been developing an application in Application Express 3.1.2.00.02 that includes processing of BLOB data in one of the tables (ZPRAVA). Unfortunately, I've come across a strange behaviour when I tried to update value in a BLOB field for an existing record via a DML form process. Insert of a new record including the BLOB value is OK (the binary file uploads upon submiting the form without any problems). I haven't changed the DML process in any way. The form update process used to work perfectly before I'd included the BLOB field. Since than, I keep on getting this error when trying to update the BLOB field:
ORA-20505: Error in DML: p_rowid=3, p_alt_rowid=ID, p_rowid2=CZ000001, p_alt_rowid2=PR_ID. ORA-01008: not all variables bound
Unable to process row of table ZPRAVA.
OK
Some time ago, I've already created another application where I used similar form that operated on a BLOB field without problems. The only, but maybe very important, difference between both the cases is that the first sucessfull one is based on a table with a standard one-column primary key whereas the second (problematic one) uses a table with compound (composite) two-column PK (two varchar2 fields: ID, PR_ID).
In both cases, I've followed this tutorial: [http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/apex/apex31nf/apex31blob.htm]).
Can anybody confirm my suspicion that Automatic Row Processing (DML) can be used for updating BLOB fields within tables with only single-column primary keys?
Thanks in advance.

Is there a chance that the bug will be included in the next patch?No, this fix will be in the next full version, 3.2.

Problem with currency and quantity field

Hi,
I have done a couple of BDC and watched that if some currency or quantity field is there and i want to run the BDC the particular currency/quantity field will not populate the value inspite of i have declared the same table field that it refers to in the screen in the internal table.
But, if i declare a character string in the internal field having same length as the screen field it will populate at run time. Why so?
Regards
Sandeep

Hi,
Even i have experienced the same problem many a times and use a character string as a work around to solve it.
I guess one reason for it is for the currency and quantity fields, the actual defined length and the output length are different with output length being 3 or 4 bytes greater than that of actual lenght and also the fact that these fields are always right justified. hence some bytes of the field is getting truncated which the system does not allow and discards the whole value.

Problem with PIPE as a field separator

Hi Gurus,
I am facing a problem in XI .The incoming file is PIPE as a field separator and a carriage return as end of each record.
The problem is that in trailer record if the last field has no value in the file then it is unable to identify it is a field.So all mapping which is there to check the empty filed is not working.
File format processed with status ok.
01|HEADER|F1
02|F1|F2|F3
03|COUNT1|F4
if the same file in the last record if the filed XX is blank then it is not able to trap in mapping.
01|HEADER|F1
02|F1|F2|F3
03|COUNT1|XX
If i am giving a extra PIPE at end of each record then it is working ok and the mapping can able to check if a field is blank.
But without putting a PIPE at the end is it possible to trap error if any last field is contains blank.
it is little URGENT.Please reply.
Thanks,
Satya

Hi,
Suppose you called 03|COUNT1|F4 row as "trailer" in recordset structure.
Then you can use the following parameters:
trailer.missingLastfields = ignore - to get converted to XML only fileds that have been filled in
trailer.missingLastfields = add - to have last fileds filled with empty values
trailer.missingLastfields = error - to terminate FCC since file has not complete structure

CreateTextField and _height: Problem with Placement of Text Fields

I'm using createTextField to create several text fields
dynamically. I'm also using an external XML file and a style sheet
to populate the text fields.
My problem is that I'm trying to position the various text
fields on the page so that they are spaced evenly on the page
(regardless of how much content they might contain). I'm trying to
use _height of the prior text fields to place subsequent text
fields, but I'm getting very inconsistent results. When I trace the
value of _height, I get differing results, even if I don't actually
change any of the parameters. So, the question is...is there a way
for Flash to get the height of a dynamically created text field
that's populated via an exteral XML file and using CSS? I know
that's asking a lot, but I'm trying to avoid using scroll bars if
at all possible.
Thanks for any pointers.
Bill

i assume you're using multiline textifields with a fixed
width and autoSize="left".
flash will report the correct _height of your textfields IF
you access the _height property after your htmlText has been
assigned to your textfield. ie, you're probably seeing inconsistant
results because you're not waiting until all data needed to
populate your textfield has loaded.

SRM 7.0: problem with save BP customer fields

Hi Experts,
I've enhanced the Supplier data with customer fields in SRM 7.0 with help of OSS note 1386310.
(it was mentioned in thread Enhance business partner in SRM 7.0)
When I fill customer fields with data on BP overview screen and save, the message "Business Partner changed successfully." appears, but the customer fields data is not saving in database table BUT000.
I've find out that customer data saves in FM BUPA_CENTRAL_EXTINCL_CHANGE. In this FM is a check if include CI_EEW_BUT000 exist in Structure INCL_EEW_BUT000. The check is unsuccessful and program leaves this FM.
When I open INCL_EEW_BUT000, the include CI_EEW_BUT000 exist there, but when I double click on it, message "Structure not available" appears.
Can somebody help with it? Maybe someone is already had this problem?
Thanks,
Ekaterina.

Hi Jr. SRM , Amit and other ,

In Config guide it is given that by applying BC Sets, you do not need to perform configuration steps below i.e. 1.Define technical configuration ,2.Define settings for Business Rule Framework (BRF) 3.Define business process configuration for process-controlled workflows....so why we need to perform Automatic Workflow Customizing and generalize the task group '40000003' and '40000007' ?

Can Applescript fix this problem with no Reply-To field in mail rules.

Hi I'm trying to sent up an automatic response email in mail rules, the problem is when I filter the email I want to respond to, I don't get the option to send a response to the "Reply-To" field, I can only reply to the "From" field which is no good to me. The mails I receive are booking inquiries generated by an online form so the "From" field is always the same email address not the guest address which is in the "Reply-To" field.
Can any applescript genius out there help me out, it would save me so much time !!
Thanks
Jon

Give this a shot. Change the text in the quotes in the property line to whatever you want for the body.
property theBody : "This is the autoreply message"
property theQuote : "You wrote:"
using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages theMessages for rule theRule
tell application "Mail"
repeat with aMessage in theMessages
set theSubject to "Re: " & the subject of aMessage
set theReplyTo to reply to of aMessage
if theQuote is not "" then
set theBody to theBody & return & return & theQuote & return & return & the content of aMessage
end if
set theReply to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:theSubject, content:theBody}
tell theReply
make new to recipient with properties {address:theReplyTo}
end tell
send theReply
end repeat
end tell
end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from
If you set theQuote to "", then it won't quote the original. The quote is plain text, so not a great solution.
There is an option in Applescript to reply to a message, but it does the same as the rule. I tried to edit that message, but it didn't let me. So, I went with the above method.
You might try [the Applescript forum|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=724].

Problem with characters in text field

hi all
i am missing a few characters, once i load text into a dynamic text field. chars are not missing per say; they are being replaced with empty squares.
characters like the euro sign and accentuated german a letter.
whats is weird is that other accentuated german letters do appear. so only a few selected are missing.
How ive set up the fla:
1) i've added 4 text fields to the stage in the font im using, Arial, one for each font style: normal, italic, bold and bold italic, and in all 4 fields ive embedded all latin characters (to include the german accentuaded characters and im guessing it's in the punctuation group that holds the euro sign, so that one is also embedded), besides lowercase, uppercase, numerical, and all the default groupd to include basic text.
2) i've got a dynamic text field, created with createTextField, and setup the following ActionScript (2):
this.createTextField("T_text",1,0,10,Stage.width-60,50);
var myFmt = new TextFormat();
myFmt.size = 12;
myFmt.leading = 3;
myFmt.font = "Arial";
T_text.html = true;
T_text.autoSize = "left";
T_text.multiline = true;
T_text.wordWrap = true;
T_text.selectable = false;
T_text.embedFonts = false;
T_text.textColor = "0x666666";
T_text.htmlText = _global.gallery_1_image_text_1; // this holds the text im displayed, called in from a database.
T_text.setNewTextFormat(myFmt);
now, im calling text from a database.
when calling the text from the browser url bar, there's no chars missing.
its just when i make this call from flash and load the text into the dynamic text field, that characters go missing.
below is a link to a print screen of the faulty text that is displayed in flash's dynamic text field.
http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/340/utf8.png
any ideas? i mean, it seems that the arial font is missing a few accentuated characters! because the code i have setup loads other accentuated characters.
anyone has seen this issue before and know how to solve it?
regards

no.
you assigned your embedFonts property to be false.
look, you can test if you've embedded fonts correctly by using:
T_text._rotation=3;
if you see no text, you're not embedding fonts correctly.
so, use:
T_text.embedFonts=true;
and then test. if you see no text, use:
click on the upper right of your library panel > new Font > select Arial and tick the symbols you need to embed > tick export for actionscript and assign a linkage id (eg, ArialID). click ok. then use:
this.createTextField("T_text",1,0,10,Stage.width-60,50);
var myFmt = new TextFormat();
myFmt.size = 12;
myFmt.leading = 3;
myFmt.font = "ArialID";
T_text.html = true;
T_text.autoSize = "left";
T_text.multiline = true;
T_text.wordWrap = true;
T_text.selectable = false;
T_text.embedFonts = true;
T_text.textColor = 0x666666; // no quotes here. this is a number
T_text.htmlText = _global.gallery_1_image_text_1; // this holds the text im displayed, called in from a database.
T_text.setTextFormat(myFmt); // to format the above text, use setTextFormat(). if you want to format text added after this line, use setNewTextFormat()
