Promoting a repeating field to a header field

I have a field that is a member of a repeating field and has the same value all throughout the report. I need the contents of this field to be placed in the header portion of the report.
I get the error..field F1 (which is my header field) references column (which is the repeating field) at a frequency below its group.
Can anybody suggest how to do it....
Thank you.

Hi,
just go to the data model and move the field which u r intended to be in header section move that in to group .
.. and in layout move the field to main group ....

Sender FCC , problem with Repeating Field under a Sub-structure

Hi,
I have an Input File as
D,TH_ ,10/31/2008,ABC,pieces
PF, 10/31/2008,11/2/2008,11/3/2008,11/4/2008
P,mat,CS,100,120,130,125,150,170,120
P,mat,CS,100,120,100,110,140,120,110
I need to Implement an FCC to convert this to
a Structure like this
Recorset
    Header           1....1
        Unique Id
        date Time
        CustomerCode
        Code
        Unit
    Dates         1
     date          1....n
    Products       1....n
      product      1
      unit         1
      quantity     1.....n
This this is a Variable recordset type ( i.e each ROW has a Different Structure) the following keys D,PF,P are defined, for the header, dates, and Product Information.
The Following FCC parameters are applied
Document Name : MT_FILE_INPUt
Document NameSpace = http://xyz.com
Recordset Name = "Recordset"
Recordset structure = Header,1,Dates,1,Products,*
keyname              = Key
Keytype               = String
Header.FieldSeprator = ,
Header.FieldName = Unique Id,date Time,CustomerCode,Code,unit
Header.keyValue = 'H'
Dates.FieldSeprator = ,
Dates.Fieldname   = 'date'
Date.keyValue    = 'PF'
Products.FieldSeprator = ,
Product.FieldName = product,unit,quantity
Product.KeyValue = 'P'
Now the Problem is as Follows:
1) I have a Repeating Field Quantity under the Product and Date under the Dates Sub-structure, This is not getting Repeated at all.
Is there a Way to achieve the same
2) Another Point is That, i do not want to take the key Value in the XML structure after converion, is there a way to avoid it
Please let me know if any blogs are available
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Best Regards
Abhishek

can u try.. i haven't tired this.
quantity is occuring multiple times, but if that is fixed no# of occurance,, you can can try with this?
P,mat,CS,100,120,130,125,150,170,120
Product.FieldName = product,unit,quantity,quantity,quantity,quantity,quantity,quantity
let me try ..
As long as the quanitfy defined under Product.FieldName are more than the input msg quantity values (100,120..), you will be safe...

Repeating field values per paage in Master Detail Report

I know there are lots of threads about repeating fields values across pages but not seem to work that I have tried and I was looking for a simple resolution to my problem.
I have a master detail report like:
Deptno: 10 Dname: Accounting
Empno Surname Job Sal
1234 Smith Clerk 1000
1235 Jones Clerk 1200
Deptno: 20 Dname: Research
Empno Surname Job Sal
2234 Smith Clerk 1000
2235 Jones Clerk 1200
etc. The employee data is displayed in a Word table.
Now if I use the standard emp/dept tables (with only 14 employees) the report paginates properly and I see one department per page and the corresponding employees per page. I have used the <?split-by-page-break: ?> tag. A sample of the rtf file is:
<?for-each:dept?>Dept: <?deptno?> Name: <?dname?>
TABLE of EMPS (via insert -> table ->advanced etc)
<?split-by-page-break: ?>
<?end for-each?>
Everything works fine but if I then apply a larger xml file to this rtf where the number of employees spill over onto another page the deptno and the dname do not print before the table when I want them to.
I have tried putting things into Word headers, using the <?start:body?> tag and a couple of other ways (like @section). Could someone be quite explicit about the steps I need to follow (rather than just say put it in a header) to make sure that if the employees spill over the page the deptno and dname will display. I don't know if its made more difficult because I have multiple departments but any help would be appreciated.

I sent a template to Chris who was able to solve the problem.
The change that he made was from:
<?for-each:dept?>Dept: <?deptno?> Name: <?dname?>
TABLE of EMPS (via insert -> table ->advanced etc)
<?split-by-page-break: ?>
<?end for-each?>
to:
Dept: <?deptno?> Name: <?dname?>
<?start:body?><?for-each@section:dept?>
TABLE of EMPS (via insert -> table ->advanced etc)
<?end for-each?><?end body?>
That is, he used the start and end body tags and the section attribute and took out the <?split-by-page-break: ?> tag. I put back in the split page tag on the template he gave me but it gave me an extra page each time the department changed. So maybe you can really only use one of the other.
Regardless, Chris sorted it out for me, so thanks.

Display repeated fields label in data form

I have created an input form with periods & years in columns. One column for current period & year according to user selection and the other for Dec of prior year. Whenever Dec period is selected, the "December" word will not display in other column because it is the same. It seems like system default not to display for repeated fields. However, users would like to see it. Does anybody have any ideas/workarounds for this? currently, i typed in the word "December." with a dot at custom header to make it looks different so that the comparative column header will be displayed.

Hello Raul,
where can I change this setting? in workspace?
Thanks in advance.

Creation of HR infotype with repeated fields

Hi,
We have a requirement in our project where in we need to implement the repeat field screen structure.
We have to create an info type with 96 fields in which some of the fields are repeated more than once.
We have tried to create a table control to represent the repeated fields, for this we have a standard way which SAP follows. We have done the same way but we are not able to get the table control in the info type screen.
We have done the following steps using this link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/4f/d52552575e11d189270000e8322f96/frameset.htm
1) I have created a structure with the repeated fields of the info type
2) created the entries in Mapping for Conversion of Repeat Structure/Tables (table T588AUTO_MAP) with the repeated fields
3) For each type LINE screen structure to be used, a corresponding entry was defined in Mapping for Conversion of Repeat Structure/Tables (table T588AUTO_TABLE).
4) I have created an info type with all these fields where in I should get the repeated fields in the table control format, but this was not happening.
Is there any task to be done to link all these transactions before going for creation of the info type?
Can any one suggest me how to get the table format on the screen with all these repeated fields.
with regards,
ramu mullapudi

Hi Choudhury,
Thanks for your reply. The infotype that you suggested solved my problem.

Adding a Repeating Field

Can I add a repeating field in a PDF, one where the end user can select to duplicate a field when filling out a form?
Thanks for your help!
Jeff

You can create a form with duplicated field in FormsCentral, then export it to Submission-Enabled PDF. But you may not add a repeating field in PDF, then import form to FormsCentral. but there's no limitation if you create PDF form with duplicated field, use it locally.

PDF template : how to have a multiple pages repeating field group

Hello,
I'm trying to create a PDF template.
My problem is that my repeating field group is composed of 2 pages, so what my request has to generate will be N * 2 pages.
But when I put the <?rep_field="BODY_START"?> and the <?rep_field="BODY_END"?> on two different pages, I can't generate the output.
It looks like those BODY_START and BODY_END has to be on the same page.
Could anyone confirm and/or provide help regarding my issue ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nicolas

Nicolaus, it appears as if Oracle is not willing to support templates generated using Adobe. They give us over a hundred pages on how to define an rtf template and then spend a measly 15 pages on PDF Templates. I have been successful in creating their example using the PO in the User Guide, but unsuccessful in repeating the outer group(which they don't tell you how to do or provide examples). So in summary you can print one PO at a time and the feature works great, but try to print more than one and you are screwed. Maybe it is time for someone from Oracle to make a post and make a believer out of all of us.

How to display repeating fields on PDF template?

As you can see the fields with CP_ tags are OUTSIDE of the List_G_Header tags, how can I Repeat those CP_tags on each page on Microsoft WORD RTF template?
I am failed to put these CP_ fields into Header of WORD RTF template.
Thank you for assistance ~!

Thanks Nishka and Ananth, do you mean that I should insert a field or form field into the Header? But how to do so? Since I am not allowed to insert a BIP field / form field into the header.
Error message: " You cannot paste form fields into comments, headers, footers, footnotes, endnotes ..." (MS WORD 2003)
Thanks BIPuser, I solved my issue with your suggestion.

How to put non-repeating field in a repeating frame?

I have a formula field that creates the header for a list in a repeating frame. I seem to be in a quandary though-if I include the field inside the repeating frame the header gets repeated. If I put it outside the frame I get an error 'Field references Column at a frequency below its group'. If I move the formula column to the parent query it works except in the case where the child query returns no rows-then I get the header with no data.
So, I either need a way to display the header inside the repeating frame, but only once, or I need a way to suppress the header when the child query returns no rows.

So, I either need a way to display the header inside the repeating frame, but only once, or I need a way to suppress the header when the child query returns no rows.You can try one idea. Keep the formula column in detail group and create one more summary column as serial number for the detail records so in repeating frame place that field (formula column) in repeating frame and use the PL/SQL code for that field as below...
IF :serial_no = 1 THEN
RETURN TRUE;
ELSE
RETURN FALSE;
END IF;Then it should display for the first record only.

Repeated field not formatting in mac acrobat reader

Hi folks,
I'm new to livecycle, but am enjoying it immensely. I'm coming at this from a design perspective so pardon my ignorance with programming skills.
Righto, I've created a form where a user can fill out a field on page 1 which is then repeated on the header of each subsequent page, so that the admin team know that each page belongs to the one person. So far so good. I have named the fields the same and they do indeed work.
The only difference is the size and colour of how the field is represented on each susequent page. The user fills the field at 10 myriad and the field is repeated on each subsequent page as 16pt myriad light in grey.
When I run this on a PC using acrobat reader the page renders perfectly.
When I run the same form on a Mac the pdf renders the subsequent 'header' entries at 10pt myriad in black
Is there any way to ensure that the mac will render the field correctly?
Thanks in advance
SunsV

HI there,
Nope, definitely using acrobat reader - preview doesn't open the file at all.
I did some further testing. If I edit the file using a mac the formatting is incorrect - if I then take it over to the PC the file formatting remains incorrect until I re-edit the fields - then it formats correctly. Finally, if I take this same file back into the mac the type is rendered correctly... unless I re-edit the fields and then it formats incorrectly.

Calculating values from repeated fields.

I have a subform that repeatable, how to i calculate a value from a fields from the repeated values?

Hi,
Try using the following FormCalc code on the "total" field which is outside of your repeating row/subform:
total.rawValue = sum(form1.Page1.Row1[*].Amount[*]);
Row1 - Repeating Row
Amount - Column dedicated to Amount
Hope this helps
Thanks,

Problem summing repeating fields

For simplicity sake; I have four columns (Travel, Meals, Lodging, Other)that I want a total for line one in column five (line total). I'm also totaling the columns at the bottom. {it works: sum(Travel[*])} I'm using the following FormCalc script to get the total into column five:
sum(Travel[*]+ Meals[*]+ Lodging[*] + Other[*]);
This works for the first row but it obviously repeats the same data for each additional row.
I guess I have to do this in javascript but I don't know much. Can anyone please help?

Hi
In BDC not all the fields are displayed in recording so always select the check box DEFAULT SIZE and record it. Use the fields which are there in these recordings. OR else you will the same issues.

Suppressing a repeating field

This is my problem. I created a report, and I wanted one of my fields which is a name that repeats in the report. If I put the field as a group then the field stops repeating, but the field then repeats the grouping part again. Like so:
group 1
group 2
group 3 field 1 field 2 field 3
name 1 data data data
data data data
data data data
group 1
group 2
group 3 field 1 field 2 field 3
name 1 data data data
data data data
data data data
The problem with this is that the group 1 and 2 repeat. I want it to look like:
group 1
group 2
group 3 field 1 field 2 field 3
name 1 data data data
data data data
data data data
name 1 data data data
data data data
data data data
The other way I tried is taking group 3 the name and putting it as a field. This is where I get this repeating value. Like so:
group 1
group 2
group 3 field 1 field 2 field 3
name 1 data data data
name 1 data data data
name 1 data data data
name 1 data data data
name 1 data data data
name 1 data data data

Hi Brian,
It seems that you want a label "group #" that only prints on demand and not on every instance of the repeating frame.
You'll need to create a format trigger against the "group #" object. The format trigger allows you to both alter the style of the formatted object as well as suppressing the object completely.
To have it only print on the first instance of the repeating frame, create a count summary column in the group the repeating frame is based on. Then create a format trigger to return false when the summary is not "1".

Delete repeat fields

Hello.
I have a internal table with some fields, and many fiels are repeat. I would delete the fields that are repeat, but not all the fields of this record.
Example:
Code    Name     Price    Date    Num
10          X           20       12-10    9
10          X           20       15-10    12
15          R           14       14-10    8
15          R           14       12-10    5
and i would....
10          X            20       12-10    9
                                      15-10   12
15         R             15     14-10     8
