Setting a default initial value to a CHAR type field in a custom table

Is it possible to set a default initial value to a field in a customer table(Ztable) that is not SPACE? SAP sets the initial value to " " space for datatype CHAR.
I am looking at creating a field in a table that would always default to 'X' on creation of a new row.
Your response is appreciated..

Hi,
I believe this cannot be done..
If you are inserting the row through a program then you can insert the field value to be 'X'.. If the value is not passed ..Then it will be blank..
If you are using table maintenance then in the PAI ..you can insert values..
Thanks,
Naren

Default initial value for opportunity field

Hi all,
What is the fastest and most elegant way to achieve this requirement:
When user clicks create opportunity the field "Relevant for forecast" should be default unflagged. Currently it defaults it to be flagged. It should only happen at creation time. The user should be able to flag the field again before saving. So basically I need to make sure that the defaulting is only done once in the lifetime of an opportunity (i.e. at the very first creation).
Br,
Anders

Hi,
1) Enhance your component
2) Enhance view "BT111H_OPPT"
3) Generate GETTER/SETTER for "STRUCT.FORECAST_REL" in context node "BTOPPORTH"
4) Add the following code at the end of the method "GET_FORECAST_REL"
IF value IS INITIAL.
* value = 'X' -> to check the checkbox if initial
value = ''.
ENDIF.
This should work, but I have not tested it in this case.
Kind regards
Michael

Hi,
Is it possible to set a default column name to an expression when creating a table?
For example, I wish to set the default value of a column to read from another table's column and do some arithmetic....is this possible?
Thanks.

Yes, you can, with trigger Before Insert for Each row
But be carefull, you can hit the mutating table problem...

How to set a default integer value in a form

I have a form defined as follows:
=================================================
public static class ProjectForm extends FormData
private int idx;
private String name;
private String projectNumber;
private String description;
public void setIdx(int index)
this.idx = idx;
public int getIdx(){
return this.idx;
public void setName(String name)
this.name = name;
public String getName()
return this.name;
public void setDescription(String description)
this.description = description;
public String getDescription()
return this.description;
public void setProjectNumber(String projectNumber)
this.projectNumber = projectNumber;
public String getProjectNumber()
return this.projectNumber;
======================================================
When I add a new entry into the database, I have no issues. However, when I want to modify an entry I run into some issues with the idx entry. For some reason, I cannot set a default value into the netui:label tag. My jsp code is as follows:
===================================================
<tr valign="top">
<td>
Index:
</td>
<td>
<netui:label value="{actionForm.idx}"
defaultValue="{pageFlow.project.idx}"/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td>
Name:
</td>
<td>
<netui:textBox dataSource="{actionForm.name}"
defaultValue="{pageFlow.project.name}"/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td>
ProjectNumber:
</td>
<td>
<netui:textBox dataSource="{actionForm.projectNumber}"
defaultValue="{pageFlow.project.projNum}"/>
</td>
<tr valign="top">
<td>
Description:
</td>
<td>
<netui:textBox dataSource="{actionForm.description}"
defaultValue="{pageFlow.project.description}"/>
</td>
</tr>
======================================================
The the project class is passes into the page and has the appropriate values. The name, project number and description fields work as I would expect. However, the idx value is alway '0'. If I print out pageFlow.project.idx it has the correct value.
How do I fix this? My feeling is that it is related to the form field being an int and not a string. The default parameter indicates that is only works with null values, and ints default to zero. Do I need to use an Integer value instead in the form, or just stay away from non-string form fields.
Thank for the help!!

In the action which displays the edit page just set the form idx value before displaying the jsp.

Setting Up Default DB Values

ive just started using cold fusion this week and im making a
product and delivery website,
i have all the user inputs for the DB working
but i dont know how to set up default values for non-user
input fields
please help me out, thanks in advance :)

You just need one SET and sing the product_id filed is
probably an integer you don't need the single quotes around it:
<cfquery name="set_deli" datasource="#prm_DB_DSN#">
UPDATE tblpmdmstproduct
SET deli_cool_flag = 1 ,
deli_express_flag = 1
WHERE product_id = #product_id#
</cfquery>

Setting a default date value for input controls

Hi All,
I have created a webi report that shows - among other things - the activity between 2 dates. I have created 2 input controls where the user can select the start and end dates from a calendar for this.
The displayed data is restricted by a date variable which 'unfiltered' contains 1 month of data.
'out of the box' I can set these input controls and all works fine, but each time I open the report the same values that I set last time are set in the input controls. I want to have these default to being between today and 7 days ago with the user then able to move away from this action, rather than the 'window of interest' slowly slipping into the past.
I have looked at the forum posting Re: Default Input Control Values in WebI doc on Open which describes setting a default on the objects in the report filter pane, but this does not appear to be possible as these are 'grayed out' and i need both the input controls to run from a single object.
Does anyone have any ideas how this might be achieved?
Thanks in advance
John

Hi,
Sorry, I've obviously not explained myself very well. Please let me try to elaborate...
The report I am writting is to function as a dashboard (yes, i know - Xcelcius/Dashboard Designer - don't ask!) but asking the user to enter a prompt for the date range is not an option here. My only options for this are effectively the input controls or the report filters. I want to be able to achieve the effect of entering =CurrentDate() in the 'default value box in the same way that I would if writting a Reporting Services report. However the WebI controls do not accept expressions for this.
So...
I have one date object with a months worth of dates in it.
I have two input controls associated with this date object to allow the user to select a narrowed date range from this month of data.
I need one of these to default to 'today' and the other to default to '7 days ago' (I can do the calculations to get both dates, the bit I cannot get past is applying these dates as defaults)
can anyone help me with step 3 (in bold) above?
John

It gives any error or just does nothing?
Have you tried making another simple form with just one block and one or two items?
You can do this type of testing in these conditions.
Which version of forms are you using?

Is there a way to set the default Initial View to Bookmarks Panel and Page on word documents that I save as PDF?

When I save my word 2013 documents as Adobe PDF I have to open the PDF up, go to File>Properties>Initial View>Navigation Tab and then set the initial view as Bookmark Panel and Page; it gets pretty tedious.
I use Save as Adobe PDF rather than Print to Adobe PDF Printer because I like being able to have the security settings automatically set.
I just want to be able to save my word document as Adobe PDF with the initial view already set as Bookmark Panel and Page, and with security, so I can send it out immediately.
Is this possible?
Thank you.

How to set a default date value

<cfinput type="datefield" name="blockDatePOP" id="blockDatePOP" value="#NOW()#" required="yes" message="You must enter a block date" mask="d mmm, yyyy" />
Thanks,

Maybe you should post your entire code for the page and the popup window.

BPEL : Setting the default start value for instance ID

The instance ID for the processes are generated by the system, is it possible to set the starting value for the instance id. for eg: when I deployed a new process on a fresh installation and created an instance through BPEL console, it created a new instance with instance ID #1.
Is it possible for me to start the value from a different number say "5000"

Hi ashutosh,
I think you can achieve this by writing a small java code in this Java Embedding activity.
For using Java Embed in BPEL, you can refer to the following blog:

How to set locking for all values of a char other than using query

Hi Friends,
any suggestions? I like to explicitly lock all possible values of a particular characteristic in a cube without using a filter.
thanks!!

If you dont restrict the characteristic using any value in the filter, then all values will be locked.
