Problems displaying rtf memo fields

Post Author: Davidm
CA Forum: General
We use Crystal Reports X to run reports on an Access database with a significant number of rtf memo fields. We use Total Access Memo to allow extended use of rtf within Access as our users require the additional formatting capabilities that this offers.
However, there are considerable problems displaying items like bullet points, tables and hyperlinks in the Crystal Viewer with tables in particular coming out in a real mess with all entries in the table being displayed in a list with a small square marking each cell at the end of each line.
Curiously, if you preview the report in the full version of Crystal X, it appears a bit better with the hyperlinks still underlined (bullet points still vanish) and rows in rtf tables are at least presented as a row even if the columns are not ordered and mixed (with no bounding cells visible).
Firstly, is this disparity of end result between full Crystal X Print Preview and the Crystal X Viewer fixable?
Secondly, is the limited handling of rtf tags likely to be solved in the next release of Crystal?

Hi Mathias,
If I caught you correctly, you want to display data in Adobe forms in form of tabel, right?
So, follow the steps:
1. Insert one sub form on your adobe form.
2. Set its type as "flow content" in object->subform property.
3. Set flow direction as "Table".
4. Insert another subform inside this subform.
5. set its type as "flow content" and flow direction as "Table row".
6. Now, choose binding tab, and there check "repeat subform for each Data item check box" and specify min. count for your rows.
7. Now, insert your column fields inside this sub form once.
8. Format its look and feel as you want.
When you run this application, it will show you multiple data as table on Adobe form.
Regards,
Bhavik

Problem displaying a related field with an ADF Table

I am trying to use an ADF table to display data that is setup with TopLink as a one-to-one mapping. The database table is the TICKET table and it has a field STATUS_ID. I would like to display the STATUS from the STATUS table instead of the STATUS_ID. The STATUS table has a STATUS_ID key and the ticket table is setup with a FK constraint on the STATUS table.
I have two objects, Ticket and Status, that were created from the TopLink reverse engineer. I have created the TopLink mapping and generated the data controls ( this is the same process I used when going through the SRdemo). From the data control palette I dragged the FindAllTickets to my listTicket,jspx page and it shows a menu of options. I selected the ADF Read only table option and the only fields available in the dialog are from the TICKET table??
The ADF table works and display all the data in the TICKET table but I have not been able to add another column to show the status from the STATUS table. There is a node under the findAllTickets data controlI for the Status. I dragged the individual fields over as ADF output test I can see the data from all the fields including the STATUS.STATUS field but I only see the last row. Also,this is not in a table format.
Does anyone know how to set this up with an ADF table or is there a better way?
Thank you
Todd

Hello,
I'm encountering the same problem. One solution seems to use business components (a view object based on many entitiy objects) as described in the ADFBC tutorial, but like you i've based my development on the ADF tutorial and i think there is a solution but i didn't find it for the moment. I'm keep looking for a solution and if i find something, i'll send it to you.
Good luck

Problem displaying HANA description fields in Explorer

We have created a number of attribute views and a analytic view based on ECC tables. The underlying attribute views reference text tables, for example TSPA and TSPAT.
A data preview of the Analytic view in HANA Studio shows all the text fields correctly.
But when we display the analytic view in Explorer, certain text (description) fields fail to display, instead defaulting to the code.
When we reactivate the analytic view, we notice some of the originally-working text fields display correctly but others are now not working properly. Each time we reactivate the view we get different results.
Mutliple information spaces built on the same Analytic model all behave the same way.
We are using HANA rev 25.
Can anyone offer some advice of help on this issue?!

Hi Joe,
I am not sure about the same but many times this will happen when the attribute (in your case description) is the private attribute. So, you can check if the attribute is not a private attribute then how the report look like.

The memo field in forms won't display text?

I am using Firefox 33.1.1 on a WindowsXP Pro system and have been using FireFox for quite some time . . .
Recently, I must have done something, I just don't know, but I can't seem to remedy the problem.
I create and use a lot of forms. Standard <form></form> HTML forms.
Whenever I pull up a form, I can no longer see any text as I type into the MEMO field. I also don't see any contents of the MEMO field when I recall a record fromn the database within the form.
This is happening ONLY with the MEMO field.
This very message I had to type in notepad and copy and paste it into this bug report form.( OMG - when I pasted this text into this form, I can see the text!! But still not in other forms)
YET, the text is indeed in the form. This text will display when recalling a record to the webpage and displaying the memo field contents on the page.(Not in form)
I have done all I can according to FireFox problem resolution suggestions including uninstalling and reinstalling a fresh pristeen copy of Firefox to a diff location on HD.
I do NOT have this problem when I go into Windows IE. I know there is no problem with the form itself or database contents. This happens on ANY memo field at ANY website, not just mine.
I cannot say if this began after an FF update or not. I feel it may be a simple fix. I may have hit a key or combination of keys that changed a setting causing this, but I dont know where.
Any clues would be helpful.
thanks
jim

Try to disable OMTC and leave hardware acceleration in Firefox enabled.
*about:config page: layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled = false
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

Problem displaying Word 2002 RTF files in JEditorPane

Hi all,
I am having a problem displaying RTF files created in Word 2002/Office XP in a JEditorPane.
Our code, which does the usual stuff:
JEditorPane uiViewNarrativeEda = new JEditorPane();
uiViewNarrativeEda.setContentType(new RTFEditorKit().getContentType());
FileInputStream inDocument = new FileInputStream("c:/temp/testing.rtf"); uiViewNarrativeEda.read(inDocument, "");
inDocument.close();
works just FINE with RTF files created in Word 97, WordPad etc, but it seems that Word 2002 adds some tags to the RTF file that the RTFReader cannot handle.
For example, I believe the following exception is due to the new \stylesheet section that Word 2002 adds to the RTF file:
java.lang.NullPointerException:
 at javax.swing.text.rtf.RTFReader$StylesheetDestination$StyleDefiningDestination.close(RTFReader.java:924)
 at javax.swing.text.rtf.RTFReader.setRTFDestination(RTFReader.java:254)
 at javax.swing.text.rtf.RTFReader.handleKeyword(RTFReader.java:484)

 at javax.swing.text.JTextComponent.read(JTextComponent.java:1326)
 at javax.swing.JEditorPane.read(JEditorPane.java:387)
Does anyone have similar problems or knows how I could get around this?
I thought about writing a parser that replaces the \stylesheet section with one that works but that seems a lot of work and it does not always work (I tried that by copying and pasting...).
Maybe I could replace the RTF converter that Word 2002 is using with another one - but how?

Hello again,
I found out that the 2002 version of MS Word writes a lot more of data into the file than e.g. Wordpad does.
There is one section that causes the problem, its called "\stylesheet".
My workaround (working in my case) is to wrap the input stream of the RTF document and remove this section (only in memory).
See example implementation:

Memo fields

How do you load Memo fields in Foxpro to Oracle using the SQLoader.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by nasifA:
How do you load Memo fields in Foxpro to Oracle using the SQLoader.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I have the same problem, if the memo field isnt too large you can create a table with a field for the key and a field for the text with 80 characters, then you create a program to split the memo field into this table taking for a memo field as much as records needed in the table, you create a table with the same structure in Oracle and uses the sql-loader to load this table and then write a pl-sql code to append the text into the corresponding record in the final oracle table.

Error when referencing an RTF-encrypted Memo Field from ACT! in CRXI r2

Post Author: Scottco1986
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I'm creating a report from an ACT! Premium 2007 database, and I seem to have hit a snag. A field in ACT! which is labeled "Regarding & Details" seems to be stored as two separate fields in the database. The first, TBL_HISTORY.REGARDING is easily displayed on the report. The second, however, TBL_HISTORY.DETAILS, is an RTF-encrypted Memo field. "No problem," I thought. I could just specify the text interpretation to interpret the Memo Field as RTF. Unfortunately, as soon as I include the field on the report and preview it, I get an error: "Database Connection Error: 'HY010:[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Function Sequence Error' ". So, I cancel the preview operation, and remove the field. Everything should work now, right? Wrong. I now get an error: "Failed to retrieve data from database," followed by "Failed to retrieve data from database. Details: HY000:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Connection is busy with results for another hstmt". These errors do not stop occuring on preview until I restart Crystal (effectively undoing my unsaved changes). I then thought that maybe this error had something to do with the fact that it is a memo field. So, I wrote a SQL statement to convert the Memo field to a String. This, however, caused the same errors. So, now I'm stuck. How can I include this field without errors?!?

Memo field problem in CR 8.5

Hi. I'm having a problem with displaying the contents of a memo field in CR8.5 when reading from SQL Server 2005 (this doesn't happen with SQL Server 2000). The memo field just doesn't display. It is in a subreport. The field and the subreport are enabled to grow. Like I said, this works fine when reading from SQL 2000, but not 2005.
Help?
Thanks. Help is ALWAYS appreciated.

Hi John,
How are you connecting your DB? If it's ODBC then try using OLE DB etc.
What happens if you create a new report, can you see the memo data?
CR 8.5 is 10 years old so at the time MS 2005 was not out so not sure if there are issues with it or not.
Check the field type and length in 2005, CR 8.5 has a limit of 65,000 characters for memo fields, if upgrading changed that size CR will have problems.
You could try downloading all of the patches for 8.5 and see if that works.
Thank you
Don

Help needed in RTF form field to display yes or no based on xml value

Hi,
I have the data in xml as follows: <CP_ZERO_COST>2</CP_ZERO_COST>
Now my requirement is, if CP_ZERO_COST is 2 then the column should display 'No' and if CP_ZERO_COST is 1 the column should display 'Yes'. Now this 'yes' or 'no' is not coming in xml tag. I need to do that in RTF form field.
Could anyone please tell me how to do that?
Please help.
Thanks

Try this:
<?choose:?>
<?when: CP_ZERO_COST = 2?><?'NO'?>
<?end when?>
<?when: CP_ZERO_COST = 1?><?'Yes'?>
<?end when?>
<?otherwise?><?CP_ZERO_COST?> --- You don't have to include this if the only possible values are 1 and 2.
<?end otherwise?>
<?end choose?>
You can also use if then else logic. Ensure that you specify the correct path to get to CP_ZERO_COST
Thanks!

HI,
Don't use offset values in the WHERE class of SELECT. I replied the same thing in the first day in your earlier posting.
Check the below code.....

lv_belnr = ITBKPF-AWKEY(10).
lv_gjahr = ITBKPF-AWKEY+10(4).
SELECT LFBNR FROM RSEG INTO

Updated to CR 2008 - now have new problem with truncated String fields.

Hi there
I'm hoping someone has a simple answer for this one... notice there's a lot of it on forums but I haven't found an answer.
Since updating to Crystal 2008 (Crystal 12), we have found that some reports are suddenly truncating string fields at 255 characters, despite the field value being much longer in the database.
Does anyone know what to do to allow these fields to print in completion?
Database connection is ODBC RDO.
regards
-Karen

What is the database Oracle, SQL server etc.
Can you query the database directly with another query tool, eg SQL Server Management Studion or SQL developer/Toad for Oracle.
You can then run the Crystal query directly and see if its your ODBC connection that is truncating the datafield or Crystal.
I have memo fields on SQL server with up to 2000 characters and these display in Crystal 2008 without any problem. We use ODBC (RDO) too.

I found that this had to do with my ODBC driver...
I was using "Oracle ODBC Driver 9.2.0.6.5" when I had this problem on Database #1, but Database #2 was connected via the basic "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle" connection.
I changed Database #1 to the "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle" driver, and now the memo fields are displaying correctly in Crystal XI.
After this discovery, I checked with the support staff and they told me:
"Crystal Reports 8.5 was non-unicode complaint and after Crystal Reports 9 and higher versions the query engine has been re-written completely. Hence there was certain changes taken place.
In addition to that please note that from Oracle 9i the LONG field has been deprecated. Hence, the Oracle ODBC Driver does not work. This is an Oracle ODBC Driver limitation. And it is a known issue.
As you said I request you use either "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle" / "CR Oracle ODBC driver" to over come the issue."
So... Check your ODBC drivers if you're having this issue!

Problem with Non-English Fields Output to PDF by JASPER in JDev10.1.3

I am using jsprx files(designed in i-report) to generate pdf reports out of an oracle database.
The non-English fields are shown correctly when I output the report into an HTML or when I view it with JasperView.
If I try making PDF files (JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile) the static fields containing e.g.Arabic/Chineese characters won't be displayed and dynamic fields from the database with non-English contents will be shown as ??? or null.
I received some suggestions about using PARAMETERS to feed the report instead of FIELDS, which I think can not be helpful in this case and in general.
I think this should be a common problem. These are the components I am using:
itext-1.4.7. jar
commons-digester- 1.7.zip
jasperreports- 1.2.8.jar
Any comment or help is appreciated.
