Selecting text field from table ignoring capitalization

Hi,
i'm doing a read on a table using select.....where text in s_text . if i want to ignore the capitalization; how to perform the read.
for eg : if the text is saved as 'Name' and in my select criteria if i specify the selection text as 'name' it should pick up even if 'N' is not in CAPS in DB.
Thanks,
GV.

Hi,
The Function Module, STRING_UPPER_LOWER_CASE will convert your string to lower case except the first letter
So if user input as name, after passing it to FM you will get the value as 'Name' and then you can able to check your condition
May this will help you

Hi Experts,
I have to fetch Distinct Fields from table zdcxy along with the fields from the table zvend but there is no primary key forigen key relationship also if I wanted use join condition. I need to move fields from both the table into output file and 1 part I implemented but I am unable to do second part plz any body can help me its argent. below I pasted part of code along with two requirements.
1.Select all data (Location - LIFNR, Descr u2013 ZPLTNAMEC, CJI_CUSTOMER u2013 CJI customer flag) from ZVEND table.
2.Select all distinct DCs and BUs from zdcxy table.
SELECT * FROM ZVENDPLT INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE IT_VENDPLT.
*select distinct zdc from zdcxy into corresponding fields of table it_map.
*select distinct zbu from zdcxy into corresponding fields of table it_map.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    LOOP AT IT_VEND.
      MOVE : IT_VENDPLT-LIFNR              TO IT_TAB-FIELD1,
              IT_VENDPLT-ZPLTNAMEC          TO IT_TAB-FIELD2,

INTO IT_LOAD-RECORD SEPARATED BY SEPARATOR.
      TRANSFER IT_LOAD TO OUT_FILE.
ENDLOOP.
Can any body explain me hw to fetch DC and Bu from the table zdcxy and keep in the same loop of   it_vend.
Second thing is that I need to give information about records into second output file hw to do that means I opened one more file and I am unable to move the record history there plz help me.
Thanks in advance

Plz any body can help me it's argent.

Populating Multirecord text fields from Tlists value's combinations

I have a UI wherein there are two T lists, one on the Left and other on the Right. The left one contains
From values and the Right one contains To values. There's one Button which when Pressed should populate
a Data Block which has multi record text fields just below the button with all the possible combinations of
the T lists elements. The Text fields have the values From, To, Time, Unit. When populated From and Two will
get the values from the combinations and the user will enter the values in other fields i.e. Time and Unit,
Then the user can save the Records.
e.g. If the Left T list contains Red, Blue and the Right T List contains Green, Black. Then on pressing
the button below the T lists, the text fields From and Two of a data block displayed in the same window
should get populated with all the possible combinations as:
From || To || Unit || Time
Red Green
Red Black
Blue Green
Blue Black
Now the user can enter the values for Unit as well as Time and when he does save the Records should be inserted
for the Data Blocks DML Source that's some table.
What I'm trying is:
On pressing the Button i'm writing code that will have Two PL/SQL Tables(Index by binary_integer). One will have
all the values of the left T List and the other with all the values of right T List.
I do it as in the WHEN BUTTON PRESSED as:
DECLARE
TYPE varchar_table IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(30) INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
from varchar_table;
to varchar_table;
v_count1 NUMBER;
v_count2 NUMBER;
v_count3 NUMBER;
v_count4 NUMBER;
BEGIN
v_count1 := Get_List_Element_Count('CONTROL.FROM_TYPE');
 FOR i IN 1..v_count1 LOOP
 from(i) := Get_List_Element_Value('CONTROL.FROM_TYPE', i);
 END LOOP;
v_count2 := Get_List_Element_Count('CONTROL.TO_TYPE');
 FOR i IN 1..v_count2 LOOP
 to(i) := Get_List_Element_Value('CONTROL.TO_TYPE', i);
 END LOOP;
END;
Now how will I populate the text fields with the values in the tables that i got with the piece of code above.
Any help would be appreciated. Any other method other than the one i'm trying is also welcome. Please note that
i'm not using any table to store the elements in the T Lists. The lists get values at runtime by
user's selection.
Thanks,
Abhishek.

Try and stay civil in your postings. The solotion should be to simply issue a GO_BLOCK, followed by a CREATE_RECORD followed by setting the approriate values :block.value = <value from list>

Update PRODH field from table T179T

hi,
i want to update PRODH field from table T179T into table VBRP. for this we
need to take selection option also.
selection option will be :
· Sales Organization (field VBRK-VKORG)
· Billing Date Range (VBRK-FKDAT)
· Distribution Channel (Vbrk-vtweg
while i have done this for one field by using hard code but like:
TABLES: VBRP.
CLEAR VBRP.
UPDATE VBRP SET PRODH = 'PLC01' WHERE VBELN = '0008300051'.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM VBRP WHERE VBELN = '0008300051'.
WRITE: VBRP-VBELN,VBRP-PRODH.
but this is not the right way. please guide me how to solve this.

TABLES: VBRP.
CLEAR VBRP.
UPDATE VBRP SET PRODH = 'PLC01' WHERE VBELN = '0008300051'.
commit work.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM VBRP WHERE VBELN = '0008300051'.
WRITE: VBRP-VBELN,VBRP-PRODH.
use commit work after update statement.
But this code would make vbrp-vbeln as plc01 only.
If you want to get the prodh value from t179t, then write a sleect on t179t and then update.
TABLES: VBRP.
CLEAR VBRP.
select single prodh
from t179t
where......
UPDATE VBRP SET PRODH = t179-prodh WHERE VBELN = '0008300051'.
commit work.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM VBRP WHERE VBELN = '0008300051'.
WRITE: VBRP-VBELN,VBRP-PRODH.

Remove text field from Array via for loop

Hi,
i have a problem to remove text fields added via for loop.
That im doing is, via for loop im dynamically creating menu with 10 buttons.
Each button contain, dynamically created, background (shape) and text field.
And everything is fine.
But when im try to remove text fields then i got this error:

it looks like those tf's are children of lmButtonsMCArray[i], not the current scope. use:

 for (var rNr_us:Number = 0; rNr_us < pushUsTFintoArray.length; rNr_us++)
 //remove the text field array from the display
 lmButtonsMCArray[rNr_us].removeChild(pushUsTFintoArray[rNr_us]);
 //clear the array
 pushUsTFintoArray = [];
 else
 for (var rNr_eg:Number = 0; rNr_eg < pushEgTFintoArray.length; rNr_eg++)
 //remove the text field array from the display
 lmButtonsMCArray[rNr_eg].removeChild(pushEgTFintoArray[rNr_eg]);
 //clear the array
 pushEgTFintoArray = [];

Hi,
If the fields are available in ES but not available in DS , then we can Modify the table ROOSFIELD. But, I think, this is some what rude mothod.
Before doing this, It is better to Raise a OSS. They may come out with some SP upgradation.
Search this forum with ROOSFIELD.

How can I get the "text" field from the actionEvent.getSource() ?

I have some sample code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class JFrameTester{
 public static void main( String[] args ) {
 JFrame f = new JFrame("JFrame");
 f.setSize( 500, 500 );
 ArrayList < JButton > buttonsArr = new ArrayList < JButton > ();
 buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "first" ) );
 buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "second" ) );
 buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "third" ) );
 MyListener myListener = new MyListener();
 ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 0 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
 ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 1 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
 ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 2 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
 JPanel panel = new JPanel();
 panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 0 ) );
 panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 1 ) );
 panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 2 ) );
 f.getContentPane().add( BorderLayout.CENTER, panel );
 f.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
 f.setVisible( true );
 public static class MyListener implements ActionListener{
 public MyListener() {}
 public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
 System.out.println( "hi!! " + e.getSource() );
 // I need to know a title of the button (which was clicked)...
}The output of the code is something like this:
hi! javax.swing.JButton[,140,5,60x25,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.5,
border=javax.swing.plaf.BorderUIResource$CompoundBorderUIResource@1ebcda2d,
flags=296,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,defaultIcon=,disabledIcon=,
disabledSelectedIcon=,margin=javax.swing.plaf.InsetsUIResource[top=2,left=14,bottom=2,
right=14],paintBorder=true,paintFocus=true,pressedIcon=,rolloverEnabled=true,
rolloverIcon=,rolloverSelectedIcon=,selectedIcon=,text=first,defaultCapable=true]
I need this: "first" (from this part: "text=first" of the output above).
Does anyone know how can I get the "text" field from the e.getSource() ?

System.out.println( "hi!! " + ( (JButton) e.getSource() ).getText() );I think the problem is solved..If your need is to know the text of the button, yes.
In a real-world application, no.
In a RW application, a typical need is merely to know the "logical role" of the button (i.e., the button that validates the form, regardless of whether its text is "OK" or "Save", "Go",...). Text tends to vary much more than the structure of the UI over time.
In this case you can get the source's name (+getName()+), which will be the name that you've set to the button at UI construction time. Or you can compare the source for equality with either button ( +if evt.getSource()==okButton) {...}+ ).
All in all, I think the best solution is: don't use the same ActionListener for more than one action (+i.e.+ don't add the same ActionListener to all your buttons, which leads to a big if-then-else series in your actionPerformed() ).
Eventually, if you're listening to a single button's actions, whose text change over time (e.g. "pause"/"resume" in a VCR bar), I still think it's a bad idea to rely on the text of the button - instead, this text corresponds to a logical state (resp. playing/paused), it is more maintainable to base your logic on the state - which is more resilient to the evolutions of the UI (e.g. if you happen to use 2 toggle buttons instead of one single play/pause button).

How to hide a field from table maintenance view?

Hi,
How to hide a field from table maintenance view?
The field is used for data created date. I need to hide it from display.
Thanks

Chk this link.

Maintenance Attributes
You can assign a maintenance attribute P to individual fields in the maintenance view definition in the Dictionary (SE11). It can be H (hidden)
H (hidden)
A field flagged H is not displayed on the screen. This field must also be filled in the background by a routine at an event.
The system writes R and H fields to the database like all other fields when a new data record is saved.

Add Fields from table ADRC (Fields Name 1 to 4) for Open Item Processing

Hi SAP Expert:
Our client requires vendor/customer name to be displayed in the open item processing line layout for transaction code f-58, so they can double check if the vendor name is complete as intended.
We intend to add fields from table ADRC instead of REGUH since the characters in maintaining vendor/customer name is 40 characters and REGUH - ZNME1s are only 35 characters.
We have managed to add fields from ADRC and change the SAPDF05X program and were able to display the names in open item layout, except that the program seems to "automatically" create a generic table which only carries 30 characters of the vendor/customer name. The source table should be RFOPS_DK but the program automatically looks up from table RFOPS_GEN for the particular fields - Name 1 to 4. Is there a way to "instruct" the program to use RFOPS_DK instead of RFOPS_GEN?
Hope this will merit somebody's attention... Thanks !!!

Thanks, i have assigned the layout via o7v3, it is the program that i have a problem with, actually another program that we change is the program MF05BFPO where it generates data to be displayed in the FBZ4 screen, though we add a field with 40 characters (ADRC Name 1 to 4) what the program dispalys is a 30 character Name1 to 4 from structure RFOPS_GEN.
My question is can i extend/change the structure RFOP_GEN to 40 characters, is there any SAP standard program that will aftected if i do so? thank very much...

First of all, I would like to thank you all for your replies. I really appreciate your help.
The problem I'm trying to solve is more complicated than what I have shown so far. Right now I'm trying to decompose the problem into smaller problems. Maybe I should show you the full problem and hope that I still get a reply.
I have a spatial column with collections of geometries (SDO_GTYPE 2004) and I have a VARRAY column of objects. For each row, each geometry in the geometry collection has some information in one element in the VARRAY. So I have this table
-- +----+------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-- | ID | GEOM_COLL        | GEO_INFO                                                                          |
-- +----+------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-- | 98 | sdo_geom(2004)_1 | ((geo_info_1_1_1; geo_info_2_1_1; ...);(geo_info_1_1_2; geo_info_2_1_2; ...) ...) |
-- +----+------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-- | 99 | sdo_geom(2004)_2 | ((geo_info_1_2_1; geo_info_2_2_1; ...);(geo_info_1_2_2; geo_info_2_2_2; ...) ...) |
-- +----+------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-- ...and I need this
-- +----+--------------------+----------------+----------------+-----+
-- | ID | SDO_GEOM           | GEO_INFO_1     | GEO_INFO_2     | ... |
-- +----+--------------------+----------------+----------------+-----+
-- | 98 | sdo_geom(2001)_1_1 | geo_info_1_1_1 | geo_info_2_1_1 | ... |
-- +----+--------------------+----------------+----------------+-----+
-- | 98 | sdo_geom(2002)_1_2 | geo_info_1_1_2 | geo_info_2_1_2 | ... |
-- +----+--------------------+----------------+----------------+-----+
-- +----+--------------------+----------------+----------------+-----+
-- | 99 | sdo_geom(2002)_2_1 | geo_info_1_2_1 | geo_info_2_2_1 | ... |

-- | 99 | sdo_geom(2001)_2_2 | geo_info_1_2_2 | geo_info_2_2_2 | ... |
-- +----+--------------------+----------------+----------------+-----+
-- ...I need a flat version of the original table, if you will. My original plan was to convert the VARRAY values to rows and extract the geometries into rows. Then join both using their ROWNUMs. But this does not work as i need numbers that start at 1 for each ID and I'm not sure if ROWNUM will give me the right order. Hence my question for consecutive element numbers. I have no idea how to do it with SQL. I'm working on a PL/SQL solution right now. Sample code follows. Sorry for the length of this post.

How to remove the automatically generated text fields from the InfoSet

I followed the procedure by SAP help.
Automatically generated text fields are marked with a 'T' on the icon in the InfoSet. You can remove the automatically generated text fields from the InfoSet in the initial screen of the InfoSet maintenance under Further Functions -> Delete Text Fields. Cancel the DataSource creation on the next screen and delete the text fields in the InfoSet maintenance transaction.
I know that there is an option "No automatic text recognition" when I create a new InfoSet, however, I couldn't find out how to change an existed InfoSet. I checked menu Goto->Global Properties, but that option is disabled. Is there a way to remove text fields from an existed InfoSet?

Hi,
In the initial screen (when you enter transaction code SQ02) type your infoset name and goto menu: Infoset -> More functions -> Delete text fields. this will delete all text fields.
I hope this helps to resolve the issue.

Populate Text fields from Select List

I have a select list when selected should populate two text fields with values based on SQL Query
Eg. The select list is for empno and populates ename and sal in two different text fields.
I have looked at Denes' example http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:42 It is very good but the only problem I am facing is how to populate more than one fields.
Any help will be appreciated.
ZRH

Hi
That would depend on where the SAL data is. If it's on your page, then you could probably do something with javascript. If not, you would have to do some Ajax to retrieve the value from the database. Have a look at: http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:80
Your select list could include both the ENAME and SAL values and your existing javascript would then just split the data into two parts and insert them into the appropriate fields.

Populating multiple text fields from a database table...

I have a database table with several fields e.g. drawing_no, title, date_entered etc..I have a form that has the same fields. I want to be able to input a value into drawing_no field, and have it retrieve all the other values from the database - if they exist, or return blanks/nulls if it does not exit. I know how to do this for a single field, but not for retrieving multiple fields

Hi ,
You can create a before header page process and fetch all the fields from database, or you can take a look at in-built process Automated Row Fetch.
For e.g. lets say u have field1, field2, field3, field4 and field5 based on col1, col2, col3, col4, col5 from table tab1
Now create a page process of type PL-SQL and give a meaningful name to the process and accept the default as on Load Before header. In the "Enter PL/SQL Page Process" block enter a code similar to this one
DECLARE
BEGIN
IF :drawing_no IS NOT NULL THEN
SELECT col1, col2, col3, col4, col5 INTO :field1, :field2, :field3, :field4, :field5
FROM tab1 WHERE drawing_no = :drawing_no ;
END IF;
EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
NULL;
END;The above block will fetch the records into input fields every time u refresh the page.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Urgent...... how to select few fields, from database table, (dynamic ita.)

Dear all experts,
I am able to populate all fields data from database table, using dynamic table creation.
eg,
SELECT * FROM (w_tabname) INTO TABLE <t_itab>.
where w_tabname is the table name given by the user, and t_itab is field symbol.
but some requirement is like that i need to pick up only few fields, which user will give at the runtime.
I can take those fields from file into any internal table,
but the problem is that instead of select *, i need to put selected the fields given by user.
i have tried with field symbol, it is not working (as per my knowledge.)
do i need to create any structures dynamically ?
Can anybody please help in this regards ?
Your help will be surely rewarded with points.
Waiting for reply..

Hi Vinay ,
Adding to the below code , you can use some more fields in the select stmt as below:-
REPORT ychatest.
PARAMETERS : p_field1 LIKE dd03l-fieldname,
 P_field2 LIKE dd03l-fieldname,
 p_table LIKE dd03l-tabname.
FIELD-SYMBOLS : <fs> TYPE STANDARD TABLE.
SELECT (p_field1) (p_field2) ( FROM (p_table) INTO TABLE <fs>.
Now p_field1 & p_field2 belong to the same table since you have give the user to enter only one table name.
This should work fine.
please try & let me know .
Thanks & Regards,
Daniel
