REPORT_DESNAME with a space!

I have a requirement to send a report to an email gateway in a specific format. This REQUIRES that the desname parameter contains a space. I am running into errors. Is it possible for this parameter to contain a space? I am on 10g.

Brett,
did you try to enter this inside the report in the property sheet? Try to set desname when calling the report dynamic with the double quotes.
Which way you call the report? HTTP, Forms, ...?

Can't update a sql-table with a space

Hello,
In a transaktion I'm getting some Values from a SAP-ERP System via JCO.
I update a sql-table with this values with a sql-query command.
But sometimes the values I get from SAP-ERP are empty (space) and I'm not able to update the sql-table because of a null-value exception. (The column doesn't allow null-values). It seems that MII thinks null and space are the same.
I tried to something like this when passing the value to the sql-query parameter but it didn't work:
stringif( Repeater_Result.Output{/item/SCHGT} == "X", "X", " ")
stringif( Repeater_Result.Output{/item/SCHGT} == "X", "X", " ")
this works but I don't want to have a "_"
stringif( Repeater_Result.Output{/item/SCHGT} == "X", "X", "_")
Any suggestions?
thank you.
Matthias

The problem is Oracle doesn't know the space function. But it knows a similar function: NVL --> replaces a null value with something else. So this statement works fine for me:
update marc set
LGort = '[Param.3]',
dispo = '[Param.4]',
schgt = NVL('[Param.5]', ' '),
dismm = '[Param.6]',
sobsl = NVL('[Param.7]',' '),
fevor = '[Param.8]'
where matnr = '[Param.1]' and werks = '[Param.2]'
If Param.5 or Param.7 is null Oracle replaces it with a space in every other case it is the parameter itself.
Christian, thank you for your hint with the space function. So I remembered the NVL-function.

Fill with blanks(spaces) a VARCHAR2 type

Thanks in advance,
I have a VARCHAR2 type rtesta's var of length x(100 char)
how i can fill(write) it without create a other varchar2 var that it'll be only filled with blanks(spaces). e.g
rtesta := ' PC'||fil1||'xxx||fill2....
where fil1 = say 10 spaces.. fill2 = 63 spaces and so on
I would like something as
rtesta := ' PC'|| RPAD(null,10)||'xxx||RPAD(null,63) ...
but.... Oracle treats an empty string as null. And nulls are always a bit special within Oracle. Particularly, rpad('', n) and lpad('', n) returns null.
Exists a built in for my problem?
Thanks

Office Web Apps Server 2013 - Word Web App - Problem with Tab space

Hello We have Office Web Apps Server 2013 running with SharePoint 2013. Users Editing a Word document with Office Web Apps, can't use "Tabs", any Word document with Tabs; the tabs are replaced with a single space.
Has anyone noticed this? Is this a bug?
-thanks

Report Parameters with a space between, not working

I have a problem with a report in SQL Server 2012 that uses cascading multi-valued parameters. I am using AdventureWorks2012DW as a sample, and all parameters work except for one with a space in this case its SalesTerritoryCountry and the parameter is 'North
America' which has a space. How do i get it to return data? here is my Stpre procedure for you to try.
Create Procedure dbo.uspReportParams
@Region varchar(15),
@Country varchar(60)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
Select st.SalesTerritoryGroup [Region], st.SalesTerritoryCountry [Country], r.BusinessType [Business Type], SUM(rs.SalesAmount) [Sales Amount]
from DimReseller r join FactResellerSales rs on r.ResellerKey = rs.ResellerKey
join DimDate d on rs.OrderDateKey = d.DateKey
join DimProduct p on p.ProductKey = rs.ProductKey
join DimSalesTerritory st on rs.SalesTerritoryKey = st.SalesTerritoryKey
where st.SalesTerritoryGroup IN (Select [splitdata] FROM dbo.fnSplitString (@Region,', '))
--AND st.SalesTerritoryGroup <> 'NA'
AND st.SalesTerritoryCountry IN (Select [splitdata] FROM dbo.fnSplitString (@Country,', '))
Group by st.SalesTerritoryGroup, st.SalesTerritoryCountry, r.BusinessType
END
IF i check it with other parameters it works except for North America
EXEC dbo.uspReportParams @Region = 'Europe,Pacific,North America', @Country = 'Germany,France,United Kingdom,Australia,Canada'

Thanxs for the reply i will explain more. The Issue is on parameter region which is 'North America', it should return data for United states and Canada.... the spaces for the SalesTerritoryCountry dont matter but for the SalesTerritoryGroup.
I have made another discovery which has puzzled me more: If i place paramater 'North America' as the first value when executing the procedure, everything works well but if i place it elsewher ther is a problem here is a example to show what im saying
EXEC dbo.uspReportParams @Region = 'North America,Europe,Pacific', @Country = 'Germany,France,United Kingdom,Australia,Canada'
The results for Region 'North America' and Countries 'United States' + 'Canada' Show
Its working as expected
You're using an AND condition in the filter so it will only return the countries which are included in @Country filter as it is the lower level
I guess may be what you want is this??
Create Procedure dbo.uspReportParams
@Region varchar(15),
@Country varchar(60)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
Select st.SalesTerritoryGroup [Region], st.SalesTerritoryCountry [Country], r.BusinessType [Business Type], SUM(rs.SalesAmount) [Sales Amount]
from DimReseller r join FactResellerSales rs on r.ResellerKey = rs.ResellerKey
join DimDate d on rs.OrderDateKey = d.DateKey
join DimProduct p on p.ProductKey = rs.ProductKey
join DimSalesTerritory st on rs.SalesTerritoryKey = st.SalesTerritoryKey
where (st.SalesTerritoryGroup IN (Select [splitdata] FROM dbo.fnSplitString (@Region,', '))
--AND st.SalesTerritoryGroup <> 'NA'
OR st.SalesTerritoryCountry IN (Select [splitdata] FROM dbo.fnSplitString (@Country,', ')))
Group by st.SalesTerritoryGroup, st.SalesTerritoryCountry, r.BusinessType
END

Itunes is copying/converting 500gb of music from .wma to .m4a files that are on an external drive onto my laptop which doesnt have enough room. how do i reroute these newly converted files somewhere with enough space for them?

itunes is copying/converting 500gb of music from .wma to .m4a files that are on an external drive onto my laptop which doesnt have enough room. how do i reroute these newly converted files somewhere with enough space for them?
new to itunes, used windows media player before that and always ripped music directly to an external hardrive and accessed it through the player. now that i downloaded itunes it is taking from the external hardrive and copying a second file for each song onto my lap top hard drive which does not have the capacity for all my music. as itunes converts music files i want them saved back onto my external drive or another location i have space for rather than the lap top. how do i change the setting to move the itunes media folder to another location. assuming that hitting copy and past and dropping it in a random location will cause a few errors.

When I have done this, all I did was network the two machines and copy the contents of the iTunes folder to the other machine, and that's it.
My understanding (which may not be 100% correct) is that the one file that is absolutely necessary is iTunes Library, and that the XML file is actually a copy auto-generated from the iTunes Library, appearing in a different format only for non-iTunes apps that take advantage of the iTunes Library data.
As far as I know, if you simply have the Library (database) file and all your original music files, iTunes on that computer should operate as it did on your old computer. I believe that the Album Artwork, Genius Data, and XML files can be regenerated from the Library file. Not sure about the Extras file.

Replacing inconsistant spacing with single space in a string

is it possible to replace multiple spaces within a string with one space only. Number of spaces is different all the time.
say one field contains strings with imbedded spaces
I need to replace all these values so that there will be only one space between words.
For Eg.
Input                             Expected Result
aaa    bbb                       aaa bbb
ww                vv             ww vv
ww ss      kk                    ww ss kk
[/code]

Indesign opens files with no space between each word, this happened after a mac update, help?? I don't want to have to go through and manually do it.

thanks in advance!

If you are unable to enter the passcode into your device, you will have to restore the device to circumvent that passcode.
Is the music purchased from iTunes? If it is you can contact iTunes support and ask them to allow you to re-download the music that you purchased from iTunes.
Also, do you sync the device regularly? When syncing an iPod Touch/iPhone a backup file is made. That backup file doesn't contain your music but it does contain your address book, application data, pictures, notes, etc. After restoring your device, you can try restoring from the last backup that was made of your device so you will not have to start over completely from scratch.
Hope this helps!

Playing a DRM (FMRMS) protected .flv with a space in the filename fails on OS X

As the subject says, when trying to play a DRM encrypted .flv with a space in the filename it fails on OS X it works on Windows and I am 99% sure it works on Linux as well.
I changed my files to not include a space but it appears now that if there is a space in any part of the path as well it fails.
If anyone has an idea on what to do it would be appreciated.
I have tried to use the File.nativePath and File.url properties after confirming that File.exists returns true.
I tried escaping the spaces manually with + and %20 but none seem to work.
The error is that the file just doesn't seem to play. I will update this question if I find any more information.
Thanks
Glen.

Firefox 3 cannot download files with white space in the filename

When opening attachments in e-mail Firefox is unable to handle files with white space in the name. This is not the same as the white space file name truncation problem documented on this site (where file names with white space are truncated on saving.) The issue is that the browser will prompt to allow the file to be saved, but it will not prompt to open the file as an option. If I rename the file to remove white space then I do receive the "Open with..." dialog box. I verified that Firefox 2 did not have this problem and I can open attachments with white space in the file names just fine using that version of the browser (2.0.0.20).
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Upgraded to version 3

When a user clicks on an attachment with spaces, the filename is truncated to the first whitespace. While IE, Chrome & Safari handle this, Firefox refuses to accept mime headers with unquoted filename parameters. According to Firefox's bugzilla/knowledgebase, Firefox's behavior is the correct behavior and it's a problem with most webservers or web applications. This problem can be easily corrected by surrounding the filename parameter with double quotes.
Eg.
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + fileName + "\"");

Why FileUtils::CopyFile doesn't work with blank space?

Hi all,
If I have a destination directory with blank space inside, looks like: "C:\Users\Pattrick James\Documents" for Windows or "Macintosh HD:Users:Pattrick James:Documents" for Mac.
Then I want to copy a file to that directory, use FileUtils::CopyFile(src, des). Why it doesn't work?
Can someone please help me to resolve this issue without change my path?

Sorry, it works fine. It happens because the permission of the directory.

Remove XML Tags with White space.

Hi All, I have a scenario like the below code where I have empty spaces in few columns of my tables. I create XML of the data and send it. There is a lot of code such and I can't add ISNULL() on each and every column. Is there any simple one line code working
with the XML so that I can remove the tags with only empty spaces. TIA.
DECLARE @xml1 VARCHAR(max)
DECLARE @xml2 VARCHAR(max)
set @xml1 = (SELECT 1 AS Col11, ' ' AS Col21, 'ABC' AS Col31 FOR XML RAW, ELEMENTS)
set @xml2 = (SELECT 2 AS Col12, ' ' AS Col22, 'ABC' AS Col32 FOR XML RAW, ELEMENTS)
DECLARE @xml xml;
SET @xml = Cast('<ROOT>' + ISNULL(@xml1, '') + ISNULL(@xml2, '') + '</ROOT>' as xml)
SET @xml.modify('delete //*[not(node())]');
-- Some Way to Remove the XML Tags with Empty space here.
select @xml as XMLString
/* Output of the Above script.
<ROOT>
<row>
<Col11>1</Col11>
<Col21> </Col21> -- This XML Tag with a white space should be removed
<Col31>ABC</Col31>
</row>
<row>
<Col12>2</Col12>
<Col22> </Col22> -- This XML Tag with a white space should be removed
<Col32>ABC</Col32>
</row>
</ROOT>

It would have helped if there had been a trim() function in XQuery.
With some trial and error and inventive thinking I came up with this:
SET @xml.modify('delete //*[. <= " "]');
As they say: it seems to work. But I leave no warranties.

Wow Erland this
seems to work, I need to test it against my data and update on this. Thanks again.

Pass parameter with blank space for report ver 6

Hi,
I face a problem that i willing to pass the acno where it's value with blank space, for example ' 9' as parameter into my report, and assign it as v_acno. Inside the report query i add a where condition, acno >= :v_acno. When i run the report and pass acno without ' , it do not show any record. But when i run the report and pass acno with ' then able to show the records.
for example the value i key in
with ' = ' 9'
without ' = 9
So how i can solve it by pass the acno without ' but the record still able to show?
thks

Hi Nick,
It occurs because an argument of the DTExec commands must be enclosed in quotation marks if it contains a space. From the dtexe (SSIS Tool): Syntax Rules section of the
dtexec Utility (SSIS Tool) document, we can see:
All options must start with a slash (/) or a minus sign (-). The options that are shown here start with a slash (/), but the minus sign (-) can be substituted.
An argument must be enclosed in quotation marks if it contains a space. If the argument is not enclosed in quotation marks, the argument cannot contain white space.
Doubled quotation marks within quoted strings represent escaped single quotation marks.
Options and arguments are not case-sensitive, except for passwords.
So, you need to make the value of the variable @QUERY_STRING within double quotes in the value of the variable @Cmd or remove the space within the @QUERY_STRING value.
