Select an Entry in a (populated) Select List

Hi,
I have got a table PERSON (id, name, firm_id) and a table FIRM (id, name).
I have got a report that shows me all persons: name, firm.name (where PERSON.firm_id = FIRM.id)
When I edit a person, the detail page opens. I want to see the name of the firm instead of the firm_id. Therefore I added a select list where the user can choose a firm. The list is populated correctly with all firm names (and their IDs):
select name d, id r from firm order by 1
So far so good, but: The selected entry in this list is always the first one (<please select a firm>).
What do I have to do that the select list shows me the correct firm? In other words: How do I tell the select list, what the firm_id of the shown record is?
Step 2: When I click the save button: How do I tell the application that PERSON.firm_id has to be taken from the select list?
Thanks for any help,
-- zebu

Thanks Dietmar
When creating the application I have selected "Report and Form" and added both tables (FIRM and PERSON), both as top-level pages (i.e. none is subordinated to the other).
What I got is 4 pages (the two forms on rows 2 and 4 are a little bit indented):
Page     Page Name     Page Type     Source Type     Source
1     FIRM     Report     Table     FIRM
2     FIRM     Form     Table     FIRM
3     PERSON     Report     Table     PERSON
4     PERSON     Form     Table     PERSON
I all other steps I have choosen the default. At the end, the application builder shows me 5 pages: The 4 above plus the login page.
Remark: Up to this point everything was automatically generated. This changes now:
When I look at the PERSON Form now, I have the attribute PERSON.firm_id. That works perfectly. But I want the select list with the firm names (from the FIRM table). Therefore, in the Items list of the PERSON-Form-Page I delete the "firm_id - text field" and replace it with "firm - select list". The select statement is: select name d, id r from firm order by 1.
In the "Edit Page Item" for the select list I wanted to tell the application, which of the loaded values shall be selected. But I don't know where and how.

To use the selection screen entry in another program

dear all,
i have a requirement that i want to use the selection screen entry of my zmodule pool to the selection screen of a zreport and want to use its output in my module pool.
how could i do this in my module pool programing??
i hope u get my question, i want to use the output of my zreport in my module pool with the same selection screen as given in module pool.,directly in my module pool output without opening my zreport seperately for this same selection screen data

Hi,
You can use SUBMIT statement in your module program to call the zreport program in background.
Press F1 on Submit statement and you will find required detials of this statement. For using submit statement
you have to create an internal table of type RSPARAMS and pass it in the submit statement.
eg.
DATA :
* table to be passed to background report 'ZREPORT1'
    int_rspar TYPE TABLE OF rsparams,
    ws_rspar TYPE rsparams.
CONSTANTS: c_include     TYPE rsparams-sign               VALUE 'I',
           c_kind        TYPE rsparams-kind               VALUE 'S',
           c_between     TYPE rsparams-option             VALUE 'BT'.
*Preparing the table to be passed to the background report.
*populating SELECT-OPTION for knb1-kunnr (Customer Number)
CLEAR : ws_rspar.
ws_rspar-selname = 'S_KUNNR'. "Should be the name of select option as in                               the called report
ws_rspar-kind = c_kind.
ws_rspar-sign = c_include.
ws_rspar-option = c_between.
ws_rspar-low = '1'.
ws_rspar-high = '100'.
APPEND ws_rspar TO int_rspar.
*populating SELECT-OPTION for knb1-bukrs (Company code)
CLEAR : ws_rspar.
ws_rspar-selname = 'S_BUKRS'.
ws_rspar-kind = c_kind.
ws_rspar-sign = c_include.
ws_rspar-option = c_between.
ws_rspar-low = 'a'.
ws_rspar-high = 'z'.
APPEND ws_rspar TO int_rspar.
submit zreport
with selection-table int_rspar
      EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY
          and return.
The above code will execute the zreport in backgournd.
Now to get the output of the zreport :-
*This internal table stores the value
*Of output listed to memory
DATA BEGIN OF itab_list OCCURS 0.
INCLUDE STRUCTURE abaplist.
DATA END OF itab_list
* To read from the memory. The output of the program that is executed in background is then populated in the itab_list table.
CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
TABLES
listobject = itab_list
EXCEPTIONS
not_found = 4
OTHERS = 8.
* To write it onto the output
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_LIST'
EXPORTING
WRITE_ONLY = 'X'
TABLES
listobject = itab_list
EXCEPTIONS
EMPTY_LIST = 1
OTHERS = 2
IF sy-subrc 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

Don't allow to select duplicate entries from drop-down fields, JS pls.?

Hello
I have 3 drop down fields in my_sub_form, say, my_country_1, my_country_2 and my_country_3. All drop down field's list boxes are populated with 10 country names, say, US, Canada, Spain, Germany, France...
Say, user selected US in my_country_1 drop down field, again user is TRYING to select same entry as US in my_country_2 field======> Here at this point, as soon as user selected as US in my_country_2's droppped down list box=====> immediatley, I need to throw warning message to the user and make the my_country_2 as "" BLANK.
Basically, my form should not allow the user to select the DUPLICATE entries in these 3 drop-down fields, all the 3 should be DISTINCT.
If i write JS in EXIT event of my_sub_form, its working fine, but not user friendly, it kind of late.
Hence we want to have INSTANT alert to user AS SOON AS user selects a duplicate entry in any drop down field
I tried to put some JS in CHANGE event of my_country_1 and my_country_2, but not working
Pls. provide me some JS and the event name, object name
Thank you

you could put in the exit event of the my_country_1 list:
if (this.rawValue == my_country_2.rawValue || this.rawValue == my_country_3.rawValue)
xfa.host.messageBox("You cannot choose the same country");
this.rawValue = ""
and then put the same in the other dropdowns but change the names.

Populating dropdown list with entries in multiple text boxes?

I'm creating a form that needs to be simple to use and complete. I would like to be able to populate a drop-down list with entries the user puts into text boxes. Can this be done?
For more detail:
In one location is a table, the use will type into a text box a Project Name, then other information such as location and total acres.
In another location I've got a table where the user will enter the offerings from each project they listed in the 1st table. It is a long table as it is, I cannot combine the two (will not fit on one page if I do combine them).
Instead of making the user type in the project names multiple times, I'd like to be able to take the project names the users input (from table one) and have those entries automatically populate the dropdown list in the second table.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Not exactly a find and replace but you can do it.
Select the text frames yu want to change the colors using the shift key to click select the frames.
Then go to Edit>Edit Color>Recolor Art
You wll see a dialog with red and black bars along side two shorter bars click the shorter bars to select a New Color a color picker will appear you can use the swatches or the color mixer.
There is a live preview /so you will see the change in case you want to pick a different gray, of course you can always go back to the recolor art dialog.
I am afraid you manually have to select text frames with multiple colors in order to accomplish what you want but the method above I believe is the only want to change the colors.
This video shows how the dialog works but pretend the one frame I did not select is another color.

Populating select-options in a variant through selection variable

I have a select-options on the selection screen of a report. I have created a variant for this report. Now i want to populate this variant field through selection variable (entries of table TVARVC). How can i manage to populate multiple values in this. Suppose i want the variant to hold a range of values, how do i set the variable in the table so that the multiple values can be set dynamically?

Hi Ravi,
I know how to populate select-options but i want to know how to set up the selection variable in table TVARVC for using it in populating a select-option in a report variant. we populate these selection variables using the transaction STVARV where we specify a value against a particular variable. How can this variable multiple values (for example a range) so that a select-option can be populated dynamically through this?

Keep switch channel selected for multiple steps in a scan list

Hi,
I have 3 switches (PXI-2575), one to apply a source to a given line, one to apply a sink, a one to apply a DMM. I have all three switches triggering off each other as well as a DMM (PXI-4070). I apply a source to any given line with the source switch and then cycle through other lines using the DMM switch. Problem is i want to keep the wear on the relays of the source switch to a minimum (for each cycle through the DMM lines I'm selecting same source pin multiple times!). Is there a command for scan lists or some way of setting up the switches so that this can be done?
I thought it might be possible to use the debounce command ';' on its own to signify that i don't want to change the channel selection but this does not appear to work, the DMM times out whilst waiting for a trigger on the second reading. Simplified example scan list that i currently have:
Break Mode: No Action
Source Switch: ch0->com;;;;~ch0->com & ch1->com...
DMM Switch: ch100->com;~ch100->com & ch101->com;~ch101->com & ch102->com;~ch102->com & ch103->com;~ch103->com & ch100->com...
I've also tried selecting the same channel in subsquent scan list entries which flags up error saying explicit connection already exists between the channels.
So is the only possibility just to needlessly wear out the relays?!

Hi leon007,
I can understand your desire to keep the wear on the relays of the Source switch to a minimum. I have a few questions, but we should be able to get the application working without needlessly wearing out the relays.
1. Can I assume you are using NI-SWITCH to program this application? If you are using the NI-DAQmx Switch API, please let me know.
2. When you state "I have all three switches triggering off each other as well as a DMM", can I assume (leaving out the Sink switch for now) the scan advanced output of the Source switch (TTL0) is sent to the trigger input of the DMM switch (TTL0), the scan advanced output of the DMM switch (TTL1) is sent to the trigger source of the DMM (TTL1), and the measurement complete destination of the DMM (TTL2) is sent to the trigger input of the Source switch (TTL2)?
3. If you are still having troubles after this post, I would like to know the following so I can assist in testing the issue: What versions of NI-DAQmx and NI-SWITCH do you have installed?
OK, that's it for my questions. Now for yours. Unfortunately, the debounce command ';' didn't work because it is simply a dummy entry - without creating a connection no scan advanced signal will be sent. I've noticed this is not documented well in our help file, and I apologize for that. However, attempting to create a connection where one already exists should be an error. Either the user is attempting to redundantly connect channels (which shouldn't happen if niSwitch Get Relay Position is used), or there is a driver issue.
To keep the relay wear to a minimum, I want to suggest a couple of ideas.
1. Use only one trigger line for the DMM's measurement complete and one trigger line for all the switches scan advanced outputs. To use this option, it cannot matter in your application which switch operates first, and which operates last. The switch that always makes a connection (the DMM switch) will send a scan advanced output trigger with a set scan delay (configured in niSwitch Configure Scan Trigger) that should accommodate for all the switches. This option may add delay in your application, but you will save relay life.
2. Use the DAQmx Switch API and the '&&' command between seperate switch connections. In the DAQmx Switch API, you use just one scan list for all switch modules. For example, we would perform the example scan list entries you provided with the following scan list:
/Source/ch0->com && /DMM Switch/ch100->com; ~/DMM Switch/ch100->com & /DMM Switch/ch101->com; ~/DMM Switch/ch101->com & /DMM Switch/ch102->com; ~/DMM Switch/ch102->com & /DMM Switch/ch103->com; ~/Source/ch0->com & /Source/ch1->com && ~/DMM Switch/ch103->com & /DMM Switch/ch100->com...
The above connects the Source switch CH0 to COM, waits for the relays to settle, connects the DMM switch CH100 to COM, sends the scan advanced output signal, and waits for the trigger input before executing the next scan list entry. This method will keep an order to the madness, as you will have the power to decide which switch operates first, and which operates last.
Let me know if I assumed anything incorrectly or if neither option works for you!

How to select 1st entry in DropDownByKey object

Hello,
My view has a dropdown box that is bound to a data dictionary simple type as described in the help documentation. That works fine.
However, I'd like to have the first entry automatically be selected the first time that the view is opened.
I've found postings on this forum showing how I can programatically select an entry in the dropdown by specifying the value. I don't want to do that because then I'm hardcoding a specific value in my code. I want to be able to programatically select the 1st entry in the list.
Is that possible? If so, can someone point me to some documentation showing how? I can't find anything on this.
Thanks in advance for any help.
David

hi David,
Create the simple type using the code
IWDAttributeInfo attinfo = wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("<attribute name");
ISimpleTypeModifiable modinfo = attinfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
IModifiableSimpleValueSet valset = modinfo.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
valset.put(key ,desription)
From where are you getting values in your dropdown.You should set it accordingly.For eg if if it is from vector
if there is are two variables in the element in a vector say A and B
You can access it by creating a java class in containing getter and setter methods().Make an object of it
<Class name> object = (<Class name> )vector.getElementAt(1);
wdcontext.currentcontextelement.set<attribute name>(object.get<A>())
Hope this helps you

Restrict no. of entries in the multiple selection of DOCNUM of EDID4 tab

Hi,
Is it possible to restrict number of entries in the multiple selection of DOCNUM of EDID4 table.
i.e., Select the content button on se11 for EDID4 table. We can see the selection screen of the table. Press the multiple selection button of 'DOCNUM', we get a popup. Is it possible to restrict the no. of docnum entry to 500. If i enter more that 500 entries, it should popup a message.
Please share your ideas. I am working on 4.6c.
Points will be rewarded.
Thank you.
Regards,
Ramesh

Hi Atish,
Thanks for your reply. I checked for BAdis. But I couldnt find. Is there any other ways of doing this?
User is trying to import the docnum values from presentation server file using the 'Import from text file' icon on multiple selection popup. As the no. of docnum were 4500, during the execution of this process, other process trying to connect to oracle is going for short dump with message 'Run-time error (Oracle error code: ORA-4031)'. So user wanted to restrict it to 500.
Hope my explanation is clear.

my problem is when i change the option in the list box, the particular modify group ie, the screen is getting changed only after i press enter, So please suggest me how i can change the screen without pressing enter.

Hi,
without using VRM_SET_VALUES...you just create one data element by going se11....create one domain for it...now give the values in the "value range" tab....and at the time of declaration just write ..
PARAMETERS var1 TYPE <your created data element>
                    AS LISTBOX VISIBLE LENGTH 20
                    USER-COMMAND onli
                    DEFAULT <one value>.
You will get the same effect as list box....and make it mandatory..

Hiding of Select Options in screen based on selection in selection list box

Hi People,
         I have a screen where i have put a selection list box, it is pre-filled with values, Now based on the value which user selects, I want to show/hide some select-options fields. I have declared the select options in the top include of my program,
SELECT-OPTIONS: so_user FOR ls_rsp_user-user_id MODIF ID 222,
                so_userg FOR ls_rsp_usergrp-user_grp_id MODIF ID 333,
                so_ccode FOR ls_vdmp-bukrs MODIF ID 444,
then in the PBO of my screen, I have written a module, set screen in which I loop over screen & check the group id's
LOOP AT SCREEN.
    IF screen-group1 = '111'.
      IF gv_hier_resp_fields_flag IS NOT INITIAL.
        screen-active = 1.
      ELSE.
        screen-active = 0.
      ENDIF.
    ELSEIF screen-group1 = '222'.
      IF gv_user_fields_flag IS NOT INITIAL.
        screen-active = 1.
      ELSE.
        screen-active = 0.
      ENDIF.
    ELSEIF screen-group1 = '333'.
      IF gv_user_group_fields_flag IS NOT INITIAL.
        screen-active = 1.
      ELSE.
        screen-active = 0.
    ENDIF.
MODIFY SCREEN.
ENDLOOP.
I am setting some flags based on the value which user selects in the selection list box, When I debugged I found that the flags were being set correctly, but the screen group value never set to '222' or '333', these are id's i have used for select options. Hence I am unable to hide/show the select options fields. Kindly suggest some solutions for this.
Thanks & Regards,
Deepak

then in the PBO of my screen
Your SELECT-OPTIONS are defined in a SELECTION-SCREEN so the PBO actions must be maintained in a AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT block.
I suppose the selection-screen is a subscreen, if you dont want to get unwanted interactions with a main selection-screen of the report, check sy-dynnr
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
   CASE sy-dynnr.
     WHEN '1000'. " main screen of report
     WHEN '0100'. " selection-screen defined as subscreen
       LOOP AT SCREEN.
         CASE SCREEN-GROUP1.
           WHEN '111'.
         ENDCASE.
       ENDLOOP.

BEx web report selection screen entries retain when closing and opening the report again

Hello all,
please help me in the below query.
Till last month the entries we made in BEx web report selection screen are retained in the selection screen even when we close the web report and open it again from portal without logging off. But recently this functionality is missing and the entries in selection screen are not remembered when we close and open the same report again. It is a good feature for the users. Have you come across this issue?

No...I think i can reframe the question very clearly......For ex: we are opening a Bex Web report...so initally we would be prompted by the variable selection screen...in which we have to give the entries(Values) for those variables like Cal month, Sales org, Company code, etc.....Later on the report will get open based on the values we have given......
Now if we close the particular report without logging off then if i try to open the same report that selected values are missing.....earlier it used to remember the values we have given until we log off....But now that functionality is missing....It was very useful feature.....Can you please tel me what can be done to resolve this??
I hope the explanation would be clear now.

2 for all entries in a single select

Hi all,
I need to do 2 for all entries in a single select statement.Is there a way out?

Hi,
No you cant use two FOR ALL ENTRIES at a same time.
Use either of following:-
1. Only JOINS
2. One JOIN and one FOR ALL ENTRIES.
3. Use multiple queries to fill multiple internal table and then read these internal table to form a final internal table.
Hope this solves your problem.
