Search hash-marks (#) in CHAR-Field, but how ???

Hi,
I want to know, if a field (char, length 255) contains the string '##'.
But I get no result with the following code:
wa_item_wabez_con value 'Elektro Geschäftszeichen:##.'
SEARCH wa_item-wabez_con FOR '##'.
sy-subrc is always 4!!! When I search for 'G' everything works fine!
Why? What is wrong?
regards
Dirk 

Hi,
We can try this way :
DATA:
  c    TYPE STRING,
  p(2) TYPE C,
  off  TYPE I.
c = 'Elektro Geschäftszeichen:##.'
p = '##'.
FIND p IN c MATCH OFFSET off.
we get the offset where the '##' is present.
Or
DATA F(50) VALUE 'Elektro Geschäftszeichen:##.'.
SEARCH F FOR '##' AND MARK.
write: F, SY-FDPOS .
SY-FDPOS  = 25 the position whr string '##' found.
hope this helps.
thanx,
dhanashri.

  • Hash Marks in Field Names

    Forgive me but I have forgotten how to do this.
    I'm trying to pass the query field name: "Pat #" , which
    can't be changed.
    <cfset pat_no = '#Pat ##'>
    Problem is the hash mark in the field name.
    I've tried:
    <cfset pat_no = '#Pat #'#''>
    but it errors out.

    You escape ColdFusion control characters by doubling them. So
    your line
    should probably be <cfset pat_no = '#Pat ###'>

  • I used Duplicate Annihilator to isolate dups in iPhoto on my iMac. At the end it told me it had marked the word duplicate in the comments / description field. How do I find and delete the marked photos?

    I used Duplicate Annihilator to isolate dups in iPhoto on my iMac. At the end of its search, it told me it had marked the word duplicate in the comments / description field. How do I find and delete the marked photos?

    File -> New Smart Album
    Description -> contains -> Duplicate
    will find them.
    Then the keystroke to delete depends on which version of iPhoto you have. All the keyboard shortcuts are under the Help menu.

  • How to  Place the Cursor at Specific Position with-in a Char Field ?

    Forms 4.5 ver.
    Sun Solaris / Citrix env.
    Char Field - Length 65434
    How Can I Place the Cursor at "Specific Location"
    with in a Field ?
    with GO_ITEM('field Name') I can place the Cursor at Specific Field.
    But, How Can I achieve to Place the Cursor at Specific
    Position within that Field ?
    I know, the starting position, length of string I want to hightlight with the Cursor.
    tried using :
    go_item('substr(field_name,position,length)') ;
    but didn't work !
    Is it possible ?
    Thanks, Peri

    The only cursor postion behavior that can be controled is the item property "Keep Position".
    The following is the text from the on-line help for item property "Keep Position"
    KEEP_POSITION Specifies whether the Keep Position property should be True or False. When Keep Position is True, the cursor returns to the same position it was in when it left the text item. When Keep Position is False, the cursor returns to the default position in the text item. Valid values are PROPERTY_TRUE and PROPERTY_FALSE.

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How do I widen the thickness of hash mark pen pattern

    I am working in FM11. I need to have a caution border around pages from one chapter in my book. I took the hash mark pattern from set pen pattern and made a rectangle on a master page. The thickness of the rectangle is fine and I see how to change that. I would like to make the pattern itself thicker meaning the diagonal marks have more white space before and after the color hash mark.

    You can't tweak this directly in FM.
    You could do it using postscript code within a Postscript text frame on the Master Page, but this requires some ps coding.
    Best way to do it would be to use a drawing package like Illustrator or CorelDraw and create a custom border there, export as EPS and import onto the Master page.

  • COPA structure cross 50  char-How to add more char fields in the sturcture

    Hi SAP CO Guru's,
    I am facing one problem in COPA characteristics, I have created the characteristics however in the KEA0 structure where we have already exhaused max limit of 50 char, hence system is not allowing to add these new fields in the structure.
    I need help for getting addition 2 fields into structure.
    I have one more option where few Char fields are not usable, can be remove from the structure if we can not increase the limit of 50 Char in the structure but system is not allowing me th remove the already selected Char fields.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Uday Suryawanshi
    SAP FICO consultant, Pune

    Hi Uday
    There is a way you can increase the limit.. refer the note given above
    However, SAP wont take the responsibility of any thing that happens later on.. It is completely your headache....
    So, better rename the Chars and use them....
    If you are still in DEV Client, delete COPA docs posted till now.. refer Note 21207... This helps you to delete a char if posted data exists
    I personally would prefer to rename and reuse.. After all, recycling is encouraged these days

  • How do I have Adobe Acrobat 9.0 calculate the minimum of 10 fields BUT ignore empty fields?

    How do I have Adobe Acrobat 9.0 calculate the minimum of 10 fields BUT ignore the field if it is empty? Currently it counts blanks as 0 so when it comes up with the minimum it will always show 0 unless all 10 fields have values in them.

    You could loop through the fields and add the non-blank values to an array, and use the Math.min method to get the minimum. Here's an example custom Calculate script:
    // Custom calculate script
    (function () {
        // Array to hold non-blank field values
        var fa = [];
        // Loop through the fields...
        for (var i = 1; i < 11; i += 1) {
            // ...get the current field value, as string...
            var v = getField("text1." + i).valueAsString;
            // ...if not blank, add value to the array, as a number
            if (v) fa.push(+v);
        // Set this field's value to the minimum value in the array, otherwise blank
        event.value = fa.length > 0 ? Math.min.apply(null, fa) : "";
    This assumes the fields are named "text1.1", "text1.2", ..."text1.10" and that they're numeric. This type of field naming simplifies the code, so it would be good to use something similar and adjust the getField statement to match.

       I am currently using FormsCentral to distribute a form created in Acrobat. I need to add an option to one of the drop down fields but do not want to re-distribute the form due to reporting purposes. How can I do this?

    You can open the form in Acrobat, select "File > Save a Copy", open the copy you just saved (it doesn't happen automatically), edit the dropdown to add the new item, save as a new file, and then Reader-enable the file by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools. The resulting PDF should work with FormsCentral just like the original.

    Well I'm leaning the other way. I think my present MBP will be the last Apple product I buy.
    With the way Apple is going, all New Mac computers are sealed unit that don't allow the user to upgrade them in any way. They are getting more expensive initially. They are impossible to fix, even by Apple. All the parts are either soldered to the Logic Board or glued inside the case parts. The add on warranty only covers manufacturing defects and is expensive. And to fix one out of waranty is close to if not more then a new system.
    The only thing different in a Mac, and most other products Apple sells, is the operating system and the cases they come in. As for the OS both have their glitches and at this time there are no viruses that infect OS X. There is more software available for Windows. More choices as to what hardware you can use or upgrade to at a later date.
    Mac computers are becoming large iPads or iPhones with built in keyboards.

    Can any one tell me how to attach a search help in a particular field in a screen.

    Thanks in Advance
    Regards,

    Hi Priya,
    In the Screen Layout, Double click on the field on which you wish to attach the search help.
    In the properties window you can specify the search help for that field.
    Search help for Material No. is MAT1.
    You can find it in the Table structure (SE11) , "Entry help/check" tab.

  • How to add a search help on a screen field from screen painter

    Hi,
    I would like to add an existing Search Help on a screen field in Screen painter.
    Of course it's possible to just click on th screen field and in the property box, I just have to set the name of teh search help.
    The problem is that I need the screen field to be grey and user musn't be able to change the field value if he doens't use the search help.
    I'm not allowed to modify the existing search help or to built it on my own from source code, I must use the existing one.
    Do you have an idea on how to do so?
    Regards,
    Morgan

    Dropdown Box:
    In the screen painter for that field goto properties -> Dropdown ->select listbox.
    Option 1:
    Instead let that field be in change mode and if user enters any wrong entry which is not there in the table give a error messgae.
      CHAIN.
        FIELD addr1_data-country.
        MODULE modify_screenfields1.
      ENDCHAIN.
    MODULE modify_screenfields1 INPUT.
      CASE sy-ucomm.
        WHEN 'ENTER' OR 'EXECUTE'.
          IF NOT addr1_data-country IS INITIAL.
            SELECT SINGLE landx FROM t005t INTO lws_landx WHERE
                                          land1 = addr1_data-country
                                      AND spras = 'EN'.
            IF sy-subrc <> 0.
              MESSAGE e000(zo_spa) WITH text-022.  " Invalid Country code
            ELSE.
              t005t-landx = lws_landx.
            ENDIF.
          ELSE.
            CLEAR: t005t-landx.
          ENDIF.
       ENDCASE.
    ENDMODULE.                 " modify_screenfields1  INPUT
    Option 2: Other than if u want the way u like, let that field be greyed out. don't attach the search help.
    In the PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
      FIELD addr1_data-region MODULE region_pov.
    MODULE region_pov INPUT.
    Using the F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST table value request show the search help.
    also make that field input enabled.
    ENDMODULE.                 " region_pov  INPUT
    I think this will solve ur problem.
