Replace a string in a character field with a amount value

Hi,
    I have a text field in which I want to replace a string with an amount value. while am trying to replace it , it gives me some empty space.
For example:
amount = '1200   '
message = 'The STIP amount is &1'
in my code :
replace &1 with message into message.
the result is
'The STIP amount is 1200   '
I dont want the space after 1200.
I tried for condense no-gaps also but it is not working ..
What may be the problem?
Can you suggest some solution for this?
Regards,
Vimala

Hi,
replace &1 with message into message.
I guess its replace &1 with amount into message.
Convert the amount to a character type (example move amount to amount_c ), then condense it and and then replace it using the 'REPLACE' statement.
regards,
Advait.

Form field with comma delimited value list to cfc

I have a form that passes a field to an action page with a
comma delimited value.
For instance the field name is: Program_ID
value for program_ID is: 31, 32
I am able to treat this variable as a list and check its
length, and loop over the list prior to passing it to a cfc using
the attached code:
When I try and pass the variable as a string to a cfc and
invoke a query, cf no longer recognizes my var as a list.
Therefore the code attached does not function...
Is there a specific var type that will pass through as a list
and allow me to run the code block attached?
thanks
Craig

Ok answered my own question.. Here is the answer for those
who are interested...
initialize var for cfc in cfinvoke statement
<cfinvokeargument name="Program_ID"
value="#Form.Program_ID#">
pass argument to cfc as a string
<cfargument name="Program_ID" type="string"
required="true">
use listqualify to parse list in cfc and set new var
<cfset selectedProgramID =
ListQualify(Program_ID,"'",",","CHAR")>
use the new var in the following statement in sql code:
((Program_ID) IN (#PreserveSingleQuotes(selectedProgramID)#))
The following code handles a form field with a single value
or a comma delimited value.

Padding character fields with zeros

Hello,
I need to add zeros to the end of character fields TYPE C. I know i can use the conversion routines but that only works for numeric fields.
Thanks

Thanks for all the replies.
STRLEN will give me the lenght of the field but i need the offset of the last chararcter.
Your post gave me an idea though. I'm doing the following and it's working.
value = 'Thank You          '.
tmp    = '00000000000000'.
FIND REGEX `\w[ [:space:] ][ [:space:] ]` IN value MATCH OFFSET moff.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
   OVERLAY value+moff WITH tmp.
ENDIF.
The find looks for the last alphanumeric char and 2 spaces after it meaning the last alphanumeric char in the string.
Thanks to all, i will reward as fairly as possible.

How to sort a character field with numbers and letters on the end

I have an internal table with character field which has data like this after I sort it. This is not what I expect from the sort.:
13A
15A
29A
30A
31A
33A
123A
125
62
76
94A
I expect this, which is sorted number first, then alpha. Any ideas how to get this sort?:
13A
15A
29A
30A
31A
33A
62
76
94A
123A
125

Thanks for the suggestions. After reading the suggestions and reviewing some other post threads, here's what I did to get the sort to work:
Add a dash - to the end of any record that did not have an alphabet character at the end. This way, all records have at least one non-numeric character at the end. Then I overlayed zeros '0000000' over each record. Then I sorted the table. Afterwards, I removed the dashes and zeros.
The long way around, but it worked for me. Since the internal table is processed in memory, it doesn't add much overhead to the run time.

Character field with date format alike & character entered

Hi all,
I got one character field created ( varchar2 ) for the purposed to let user the enter the date and also any character since it is a character field.
Hence, my field may contain the following data :-
Ship_date
01/10/2010
07/02/2011
15/01/2011
25/01/2011
31/01/2011
TBA
STOP
11/01/2011
TBA
Hence when come to sorting, I will like it to be date format like sorting so that the earlier date will display first then only follow by the character. The expected result will be :-
ship_date
01/10/2011
11/01/2011
15/01/2011
25/01/2011
31/01/2011
07/02/2011
STOP
TBA
Trying to do the normal sorting, it does not exactly sort on the date format, as it only sort on the first two character on the date hence I am not getting the correct sorting on this.
01/10/2011
07/02/2011
11/01/2011
15/01/2011
25/01/2011
31/01/2011
STOP
TBA
Could someone help me on this. Thanks.

If you must deal with the table as it is:
ORDER BY CASE
          WHEN TRANSLATE ( ship_date
                    , '012345678'
                    , '999999999'
                    ) = '99/99/9999'
          THEN SUBSTR (ship_date, 7)
             || SUBSTR (ship_date, 4, 2)
       END
,       ship_dateThe CASE expressionj sorts anything the looks like a date ('99/99/9999' where '9' stands for any digit) first, in order by the last 4 digits, then the middle 2 digits. The first 2 digits are sorted by the second ORDER BY expression.
I will like it to be date format like sorting so that the earlier date will display first then only follow by the character. The expected result will be :-
ship_date
01/10/2011
11/01/2011
15/01/2011
25/01/2011
31/01/2011
07/02/2011That must be a mistake. I don't believe you want January to come after October and before February, but if you do, you can change what comes after THEN in the CASE expression.

Field with a default value from another field

I need to populate a field as the default value from another field that the user inputs. I've tried the scripting that I found from the below Topic in the Archived Forums, but I'm not able to make it work. I've tried numerous variations and still to no avail. I tried to make the scripting work in Acrobat 6 and then decided that maybe I needed to upgrade, so I'm now trying it in Acrobat 8 with no results. Can anyone help?

Acrobat 5 - field with default value of another field
Ben PF - 03:31am Mar 23, 2007 Pacific
How can I have a field date2 which has the default value of field date1, but which can be edited by the user if necessary without changing the value of date1.
I've tried, but I just can't figure it out!
Any help much appreciated.

This, or some variation of this, should work:
if(this.getField("date2").value == ""{
this.getField("date2").value = this.getField("date1).value;

Thanks very much.
I put it in at document level to start, but it didn't run the script automatically when date1 was first filled in, so I have put it in as a mouse exit action in date1 and it works a treat.
Thanks for your help.
Ben

Okay forget what I posted above and lets start over. Go to your first field and under Properties -> Actions Tab -> Select Trigger -> On Blur Run A JavaScript.
Put this:
this.getField("myField2").value = event.target.value;
Make sure that you replace ("myField2") with the actual name of your second field. I just tested this and it works for Acrobat version 6.
I haven't been doing as much javascripting as I used to, so sometimes I too make some basic mistakes.

How to count ONLY fields with a specific value

I modified the code below from the API reference to count combobox fields with a value of "MT" so I could total the number of a specific choice the form user input.
var count = 0;
for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++)
var fname = this.getNthFieldName(i);
if ( this.getField(fname).type == "combobox" && this.getField(fname).value == "MT" ) count++;
this.getField("mTurb").value = count.value;
Here's the problem: I tried to use a similar script, modified only slightly from this form, in another total field to tally a different choice made with comboboxes and the script continues to tally the first choice. An example of one of the modified versions of the script is below.
var gcount = 0;
for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++)
var gname = this.getNthFieldName(i);
if ( this.getField(gname).type == "combobox" && this.getField(gname).value == "MT" ) gcount++;
this.getField("gPack").value = gcount.value;
I suspect I'm just missing something painfully obvious to seasoned scripters, but I can't seem to figure it out and I need this script to be able to count the number of 9 different options in the comboboxes.

OK, you can use a script like the following as the custom calculate script for the text fields that perform the counts:
// Custom calculate script for text field
(function () {
    // Declare and initialize variables
    var fn, s = "MT", count = 0;
    // Loop through the combo boxes
    for (var i = 1; i < 25; i++) {
        // Determine the current field name
        fn = "M" + util.printf("%02d", i));
        // See if the field value matches
        if (getField(fn).valueAsString === s) count++
    // Set this field value to the count
    event.value = count;
Change the value of the "s" variable to match the item that you want to count. The first and last lines prevent the unnecessary creatio of global variables, which is good. It also makes it easy to transfer to a more general document-level routine, which would be event better, something like:
// Custom calculate script for text field
function getCBCount(s) {
    var fn, count = 0;
    // Loop through the combo boxes
    for (var i = 1; i < 25; i++) {
        // Determine the current field name
        fn = "M" + util.printf("%02d", i));
        // See if the field value matches
        if (getField(fn).valueAsString === s) count++
    // Set this field value to the count
    event.value = count;
You would then call this function from the individual text boxes with the following custom calculate script:
getCBCount("MT");
and replace "MT" with the vlaue you want to count.

How to populate 2 screen-fields with one [ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR input] evnt?

I have a selection screen with 2 text inputs - input1, input2.
For the first one I have an "AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR input1" event.
I successfully get a value there and that is set to the screen field. But I also want input2 to be automatically populated with a value corresponding to the selected input1 (eg. input1=ID, input2=Name).
I'm able to set input2 ABAP variable but not the screen-element.
(I guess that ON VALUE-REQUEST doesn't fire any events for screen fields update, because if I press ENTER after using my search-help, then input2 is set with the right value)
How to solve the problem?

Hi Ramchander,
Actually I used FM F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST which doesn't have mapping parameters.
But after your advice I looked through F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUES_REQUEST and found that it's
DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE FM that solves my task.
Thanks!

Displaying data from a list into a single field with comma separated values

Hi,
I have a requirement to change a report with an XML structure (simplified version) as below
<Protocol>
<ProtocolNumber>100</ProtocolNumber>
<SiteName>Baxter Building</SiteName>
<ListOfActivity>
<Activity>
<Description>Communication Memo Description.</Description>
<Name>James</Name>
</Activity>
<Activity>
<Description>Visit 4</Description>
<Name>James</Name>
</Activity>
<ListOfActivity/>
</Protocol>
On the report I need to display all the 'Names' for each of the Child (Activities) in a single field at the Parent (Protocol) level, with each Name separated by a comma.
How do I go about getting this to work?
Thanks

Take a look at this: http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/inline_grouping
You could do this (ofcourse, you will need to add extra logic to ensure that there is no comma added after the last name..)
<?for-each@inlines:Name?><?.?><?', '?><?end for-each?>
Thanks,

How To BLank A Field With A Numeric Value

I am trying to write a formula as follows:
IF {CRD1.U_PriceOnPick} = "N" THEN
ELSE
{ODLN.DiscPrcnt}
My problem is I need for the field not to display if = "N" else I will print the numeric field of {ODLN.DiscPrcnt} . I am not sure how to code a formula that will meet my objective. When I try to save the formula, I receive an error of , "A String Is Expected Here". Any help would be appreciated it.
Thanks Jim Dyer

Cardinal rule of CR, the result of both the IF and ELSE parts must be of the same data type.
Try changing your formula to:
IF {CRD1.U_PriceOnPick} = "N" THEN
ELSE
totext({ODLN.DiscPrcnt});

How fill r/3 transaction field with current property value of user profile?

Hi Experts!! I
have a transaction iview ("sap_transaction_iview") currently pointing to a R/3 transaction. I want to use the "application parameters" iview field to pass a variable value to the R/3 transaction. We need to pass R/3 userID that we store in property department of portal user profile. Thus, we need to pass dinamically a value as part of name/value pair in application parameter.
How can do achive that?
Thanks in advance to all for your advices and help.
Best Regards,

Hi,
I think this blog should help you do it. Create a java class or portal project. You can create iView from par then.
