Sapscript symbol for a certain line containing variable characters

Hi,
Can you tell me a symbol in sapscript that tells us the size of a certain line ?
Meaning that if I choose font Times new roman with size 10 and I have 30 characters, then the symbol can tell me how wide my line of 30 characters is. When I increase the font size to 20pt, obviously the width of the line of 30 chars will change, and the symbol should tell me how wide it is.
Thank you.

Thanks for your reply.
If it is not possible for a symbol, then any solutions are ok. If you know any method that can help me, like function module, BAPI etc...please raise it. Any ideas are welcome.
If you want to know more details of my issue, so here's the description: I have to wrap the text for a column of a table in a form, but I only can adjust the numbers of characters when they are in upper case, so when they input text in lower case, there will be a space between the text and the rest of the column. If I adjust the character numbers of the wrap-text function due to lower case, then when people input the text in upper case, the text will be overflow the column.
Therefore the things I need to do are:
+ 1st: capture the column's width in the form, passing it to the program
+ 2nd: capture the paragraph format and character format of the input text
+ 3rd: calculate the length of the input text with those formats
+ 4th: wrap the text due to maximum space that the column can fit.
Here are my solution, and I'm getting stuck just from the very first step

How can I un-receive an good receipt in SAP, FOR A CERTAIN LINE ITEM

hi experts,
can any one please help me to solve this issue.
"How can I un-receive an good receipt in SAP, FOR A CERTAIN LINE ITEM"
thanks in advance,
mohammad.

Hi,
In T-code MIGO, you select the line item you want and enter all the details of this line in Item details. Tick Item Ok indicator for this line item.
Untill and unless you tick the item ok indicator for certain line item you couldnot receive the material.
If you already received the material then Go to MBST and cancel the material document for the same.
Hope this will help you.

Goraksh.

SAPSCRIPT - Symbol for removing leading spaces/zero's?

Hi,
How do you remove leading spaces/zeros in a variable that is sent from the print program?
Do you use symbols and if so, how (i've never worked with symbols, ever)?
Please help.
Thanks,
John

I think the "Z" symbol will remove the zeros in the sapscript form. For example,......

XPATH Predicate for container variable of simple type in BPM

Hi Experts,
I have read various threads and blogs with this topic and as I couldn't get a clear view, hence I am raising it here. In my BPM, I am collecting idocs by means of a finite loop. I have used a receive step, container step(to append the idocs) and another container(to increment the counter_variable) in a loop. I want to run the loop for the condition: counter_variable<=3 whereas 'counter_variable' is a container variable of 'simple XSD type(XSD: integer)'.
All the blogs and threads have demonstrated like how to use the EX operator with container variable of type 'Abstract interface'. But how can i incorporate the above scenario for a container variable of simple xsd type ? Please share your ideas.
Regards,
Laawanya

so this is what you need to do,
1. in your loop have a container operation that will increment your simple integer variable each time a message come in.
2. for your loop the condition will be, left operand (simple integer variable) /= (not equal) 3 (Constant)
Ref: SAP BASIS (SWCV) -> http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Patterns -> Integration Process -> BpmPatternCollectPayload
the only difference here will be the loop condition to be altered as i have mentioned above.

Can we set a default value for the container variable in BPM?

Can we set a default value for the container variable.?
Suppose if i have a loop step and i have given a container variable i=5 as end condition.What value will it take during its first execution?Can we set the value for container before a recieve step?

Hi
Define Container Variable of Type integer and Category Simple Type .Use Condtion in Loop.
In Container Operation Step Assign value and Use Expression to
Increase or Decrease Valus according to your operation.
look Pattern 4 in this blog to understand Container Operation

do we have anythign for this?
I have used all the other variables like msg ID, sender/rcvr interface etc.
Pls share ur thoughts

you dont get a variable for SWCV....if your alert is related to a process X and if process X is related only to SWCV_A then you can hardcode the same into your alert Long/ short text which you define in the alert category.

How to skip certain lines for a txt file and insert into array

so here is my question:
i had a file to read, and it requires to input into the array starting from a certain line
example:
4
john 25 M
mary 22 F
lee 20 M
faye 10 F
faye john
mary john
mary faye
i want to insert the friend list, starting 5th line into a 2d array, which is the int from first line +1.
can someone help me with it?
i believe there is a skip method and stuff..
but just dont know how to use it
may someone tell me how to do tat?

the thing is i think that takes too long and it is not efficient..
however...i just solved it with a better method
Scanner in = new Scanner (reader);
int size = Integer.parseInt(in.next());
BufferedReader insert = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File(input)));
String line = null;
int count = 0;
int startAtLineNo =size+1; // 0-based
while ((line = insert.readLine()) != null) {
if (count >= startAtLineNo) {
/* do stuff */
System.out.println(line);
// else ignore
count++;
thanks anyways

Container Variable for Alert Category

Hello,experts!
Is there standard container variable to add a name of Alert Category to the text of alert?

Hi,
You can try with SXMS_RULE_NAME-Description of the alert rule with which you can get the alert rule but not category I think....

Editable ALV - how to throw an error message for a specific line & field

Hi all,
I've implemented an editable ALV and also the ON_DATA_CHECK event to check the values, entered in the ALV. So this works fine and I can check the values.
But now, I want to throw an error message corresponding to the field in the ALV, where the error occured.
How can I throw this error message corresponding to a specific line/field in the ALV?
I was using REPORT_ATTRIBUTE_ERROR_MESSAGE and REPORT_ELEMENT_ERROR_MESSAGE but without success.
I'm also using a loop over the "CHANGES" in the ALV and within this loop, I use
elem_alv = node_alv->get_element( index = <change>-element_index )
to get the element for the message.
CALL METHOD lo_message_manager->REPORT_ELEMENT_ERROR_MESSAGE
EXPORTING
    MESSAGE_TEXT              = 'my message'
    ELEMENT                   = elem_alv
*    ATTRIBUTES                =
*    PARAMS                    =
*    MSG_USER_DATA             =
*    IS_PERMANENT              = ABAP_FALSE
*    SCOPE_PERMANENT_MSG       = CO_MSG_SCOPE_CTXT_ELEMENT
*    MSG_INDEX                 =
*    CANCEL_NAVIGATION         =
*    IS_VALIDATION_INDEPENDENT = ABAP_FALSE.
2.) is it right, that for an editable ALV, I can't use the WDDOBEFOREACTION to do the checks?
If I try to use this, I can't get the values of my ALV table to check it.
Thanks,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
I have tried to replicate your problem and I am getting the desired output. I have a row by name TEMP_NEW in my ALV and I want to throw an error message whenever the user enters a value of 4 for that particular field. Please find my coding as below. The important thing is where we perform the actual comparison between the r_value and 4. r_value is defined in SALV_WD_S_TABLE_MOD_CELL as reference to type DATA. So suppose the user enters a value of say 3 in the TEMP_NEW field of the ALV then r_value would contain 3 but if you observe its type in debugging mode it would be as TYPE REF TO I and not TYPE I. So you cannot directly say something like:
"if ls_modified_cells-r_value = 3" as this would lead to a syntax error. Define a field-symbol say <temp> and then use it to get the actual value into it by saying like:
ASSIGN ls_modified_cells-r_value->* TO <temp>.
Then you can use this <temp> for comparison in your IF statement like:
IF <temp> = 3.
Find the entire coding as below:
METHOD check_data.
DATA: lr_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
        lr_element TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
        ls_modified_cells TYPE salv_wd_s_table_mod_cell.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <temp> TYPE data.
" get message manager
DATA lo_api_controller     TYPE REF TO if_wd_controller.
DATA lo_message_manager    TYPE REF TO if_wd_message_manager.
lo_api_controller ?= wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
CALL METHOD lo_api_controller->get_message_manager
    RECEIVING
      message_manager = lo_message_manager.
lr_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'NODE' ).
LOOP AT r_param->t_modified_cells INTO ls_modified_cells.
    lr_element = lr_node->get_element( index = ls_modified_cells-index ).
    IF ls_modified_cells-attribute = 'TEMP_NEW'.
" Get the value extracted into the field symbol from the reference variable
      ASSIGN ls_modified_cells-r_value->* TO <temp>.
" Use the value present in this field-symbol for your comparison
      IF <temp> = 4.
" report message
        CALL METHOD lo_message_manager->report_attribute_error_message
          EXPORTING
            message_text   = 'Sample message text'
            element        = lr_element
            attribute_name = ls_modified_cells-attribute.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

Hope this helps resolve your problem.

These values based on delimiter it is seperated and certain validations are handled.
Iam using UTL_FILE.GET_LINE operator to read the value and store it in a variable which is declared as l_text VARCHAR2(30000).
when we receive a line which contains huge characters say 45000 then it throws an error(Unable to read the file).
Only on rare cases we used to receive these kind of files with huge size.
Kindly help to solve this issues.

Hi Siva,
Are you trying to use data from this .csv file into your realtion tables. If yes and If you are using 11g Oracle database. I would suggest you create External Tables using the below query,
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/issue-archive/2011/11-mar/o21nanda-312277.html
STEP1: You need a Directory where your SCHEMA has read/write access. Store the csv file in that directory.
STEP2: Create an EXTERNAL Table script. Please refer the above URL. Examples are for coma delimiter (,); replace it with your pipe (|) in the code
STEP: Once your external table is created you can simply create a relational table as below:
CREATE TABLE relation_table
AS
SELECT * FROM external_table;

Symbols for wmp.dll on Windows 8.1?

Hi, I'm trying to load the debugging symbols for wmp.dll on Windows 8.1, but the symchk output shows that they don't exist on the Microsoft symbol server (see below). I've also installed the Windows 8.1 x86 32-bit retail symbols from
here, but that doesn't contain the wmp.dll symbols either. Is this an oversight from Microsoft's side, or am I doing something wrong or looking in the wrong places?

Yes, it looks like the matching pdb for your version of wmp.dll is missing on the MS-symbol-server. Could be a glitch on their side.
Symbols in 'Windows symbol packages' include sometimes 'outdated' symbol files, (PDB-Signatures of pdb and module differ).
If symbols for certain modules are missing altogether in these packages, MS may not have the intention to publish them for reason of intellectual property. (Personal opinion).
In any case, to my knowledge, the team in charge of public-symbols - at least for system modules (hmm, wmp is media player ...) - can be contacted via
windbgfb [at] microsoft [dot] com
see
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/lync/en-US/f5408a35-f097-4006-9c95-bf1802d03ead/no-symbols-for-ntdlldll-on-microsofts-symbol-server-kb2882822?forum=windbg
With kind regards
Edit: wording
Just see, for Vista symbols for wmp.dll are available through public-symbol-server, though
call themselves wmp_notestroot.pdb

Container variables in User decision Step in BPM

Hello,
I am using User decision Step in BPM.
When i use only text in "Title for Display" the BPM is activated successfully and Status in SXI_CACHE also shows 0.
If I use container variables in "Title for Display" the BPM is activated successfully but status in SXI_CACHE shows 99.
It shows the below error
"Problem updating an integration process with object ID 073AF2C620F43E839B2903344DEE29BB. Symbol 'CE/KO' expected at position 1 in expression ''
Please suggest.
Thanks,

Hi Shabari, did you follow the steps for declaration of variables as in [SAP help for user decisions|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/42/c2a19fb4511d65e10000000a1553f6/content.htm]? How did you define your variable?
Maybe discussion [in this thread|BPM activation Error in SXI_cache; can help, it is unanswered though.

My group box is causing problems when searching for a text line in a text file.

I am developing a booking system, so for this I need to ensure that no two clients can book the same appointment slot. So, on testing my code which prevents double booking, the system doesn't seem to find the text line being searched for in the text file
when it (purposefully) should.
I have tried isolating the problem using breakpoints, and I've found that when the 'SearchLine' (referring to my code below) does not include the 'TimeComboBox.text' piece and instead this value is written into the code, the system is able to find the SearchLine
without any problems. But, when assigning the group box's value to a variable and using this in the SearchLine instead, or without even using a loop and just doing a simple line by line search, the program can't find this line of text in the file.
I'm lost for ideas. I have tried everything I can think of. Could anyone make any suggestions as for what is the problem with my group box? (I'll explain the code beneath it).
'Setting the value of the SearchLine (which is a String)
SearchLine = String.Concat(DateTimePicker1.Value.Date & " " & TimeComboBox.text)
Dim FoundApp As Boolean
Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(basicfilepath & "Text Files\Client Booked Appointment DatesTimes.txt")
FoundApp = False
'Reading the file's contents and checking for the SearchLine
Do While (objReader.Peek() <> -1) or (FoundApp = True)
If (TextLine = SearchLine) Then
'Line contains SearchLine. Appointment already exists.
FoundApp = True
Else
'Line doesn't contain SearchLine. Carry on searching.
Msgbox("Line not found.")
End if
Loop
Explanation
When the line is searched for, the 'FoundApp' value must be set to 'True' when it is found. If it is not found, it remains false.
To isolate the problem, I've displayed the SearchLine in a message box in the past to make sure that the correct line of text is being searched for.
In basic terms, my program is searching for the exact line of text which exists in the text file, but for some reason it is not coming up as 'Found'. The error occurs when the group box's value is used. The text file which is being read is
definitely correct. Please help, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi
It would appear that your snippet doesn't actually read the file at all.
Here is my test which works fine.
Option Strict On
Option Infer Off
Option Explicit On
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim SearchLine As String = "18:09:38 : XTaskSettings.Load PARAMS: begin"
Dim FoundApp As Boolean = False
Dim TextLine As String = Nothing
Dim objReader As New IO.StreamReader(Application.StartupPath & "\Data\Report Q1.txt")
FoundApp = False
Do While (objReader.Peek() <> -1) Or (FoundApp = True)
' this was missing
TextLine = objReader.ReadLine
If (TextLine = SearchLine) Then
'Line contains SearchLine. Appointment already exists.
FoundApp = True
MsgBox("Line found.")
Else
'Line doesn't contain SearchLine. Carry on searching.
MsgBox("Line not found.")
End If
Loop
End Sub
End Class

Container variables in Alert monitoring

Hello
I am having interfaces without BPM and I am trying to use container variables facility for that. I defined the container variable in the transaction ALRTCATDEF in which I gave element name same as one of the element from payload.
My alerts are getting generated but I could'nt see the value populated inside that variable. Does anyone know how to populate that variable. I checked on help.sap.com but there they have mentioned about populating container varaibles through workflow.
can we use those in normal interfaces i.e. without BPM?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Rajeev Patkie

Hi Rajeev,
Generally, only a certain number of variables' values can be used in the container and text. This list is given here:-
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d0/d4b54020c6792ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm
But, I think you will be able to give even application specific values in the alert message. Just check with the following two documentations, also take care of the naming conflicts:-
1. http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/53/02153cdcf89e56e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
