Setting the number of copies to be printed through crystal reports?

I posted this in another section and got redirected to this one.
So I'm working with some software that utilizes Crystal Reports 10, and am looking for a method where through Crystal Reports I can take a user entered parameter value and set that as the number of copies for the printer to print. This isn't an option in Crystal Reports itself, so I understand I may need to dig a little deeper and write some customization to accomplish this.
I've been building Crystal Reports for about two years now, all self taught, but have never had to go this far, where/how would I start on this? And I tried searching for a similar question in these forums to see if it's come up before but couldn't find anything. I'm kind of stuck at the moment because I can't alter the software that's using Crystal Reports to set number of copies, so I want to see if I can do anything in Crystal.

Really, this is actually more of a report design question, though I understand why they's ask you to post here also.
Anyhow, I think what you are asking is; can I design a report such that it will internally hold how many copies it should print(?).
Answer to that is no.
Only way to do multiple copies would be to modify the app you are working with. E.g.; go to the authors of the app and ask them for an enhancement to their product so that you can print multiple copies.

I cannot set the number of copies on my Laser Jet P2015dn printer. It always prints 1 copy.

I have tried to set a different number of copies everywhere I can and it still prints only one.

When we save a document, Pages save infos about the printer used to print it but for an unknown reason, it doesn't select it as the printer to use when we re-open it.
Pages '08 already behaved this way. This was reported to Apple but they don't correct it.
At this time, we have to live with it or leave the app.
You may
Go to "Provide Pages Feedback" in the "Pages" menu, describe what you wish.

MN05: setting the number of printer copies for the whole range of vendors

Hi all,
by t.code MN05 I can set the number of copies of the MM documents printed the FIRST TIME. I can do it for doc.type or vendor.
I can't set the number of printer copies for the whole range of vendors. Should I do it for each one of them?
Thanks
Gandalf

Unfortunately,
setting for document type, it doesn't work for all range of vendors.
Setting for document type, in the field "PartF" I've put in "OA". Could it depend on it?
you do for document type and then it will cover all range of vendors.
If you want prints for a specific vendor then set condition recrod for that vendor only.

How to set default number of copies of labels to be printed in SAP EWM

hi folks,
we have configured in such a way that, whenever we maintain the inbound delivery in /scwm/prdi, GR will happen automatically and a GR label will be printed automatically. We have defined condition records to determine the printer and also mentioned the number of copies as 1. Now, we need to have 2 copies of the GR label to be printed automatically. I've changed the no of copies as 2 in the condition records but still only 1 copy is getting printed. i have also maintained spool parameter where in i have specified no of copies as 2. Are there any other places i need to change the no of copies to be printed? if so, could you please sugget me?
thanks in advance,
best regards,
Praveen

Hi Praveen,
#No of Copies# in transaction /SCWM/PRWO6 is not actual number of copies . This is more an index how the number of copies is determined . Please use F4 on this field and you will see that index 2 means "Number of Copies" = 1.
In Transaction /SCWM/ 60000431 you need to actual number of copies for your document. But this number is only taken if you set the index in /SCWM/PRWO6 to "0".
I hope this information helps you.

How to set the number of seconds a servlet is allowed to run

I use JSP to generate a report, but it will take about 10 minutes to search.
IE Client screen displays an error message what is "Cannot find out your page" after 8 minutes. How to set the number of seconds a servlet is allowed to run.

It's not a matter of how long the servlet is running... it's the browser timing out because the servlet hasn't responded to its request.
You have several options:
1) "Browser Pinging"
Your servlet sends some small data which can be either seen or unseen (html comments, hidden chars, etc) by the user at short intervals while your report is running. When the report is finished, the browser will not have timed out because it has been "snacking" on those small bits of data which tell the browser its original request was both heard and being handled. I don't think there is any timeout in IE as long as it receives data continually (or at least before its own timeout mark over and over again...)
2) Multithreaded processing
This would probably be a better approach. Have the report run in a separate thread running on the server. You'd want to store a reference to this executing report in the user's session. Instead of making the browser wait for the report to be finished, have the servlet check the user's session to see if a report exists and is running. If one does not exist, create one and start its execution. If one does exist, and is still running, print a "please wait" type of message OR an animation, etc... along with some javascript which will reload the page every few seconds. If the page reloads and the servlet sees that the report is finished, it can then display it to the user.
Hope this helps,

Unable to print number of copies on label printer

Hi Everyone,
I am able to print smartform any number of copies on standard printer.
But when I change from standard printer name to Label printer name and execute the smartform with number of copies ( greater than 1 ).
For label printer I am able to print only one copy, irrespective of number of copies specified. However I can able to number of copies specified for standard printer.
Can anyone help me what could be the reason? Is that any settings should be done for label printer ?
Thanks.

How do I set the number of simultaneous downloads? Per server?

iTunes always tries to download 3 podcasts at once, which leads to timeouts on podcast servers that limit the number of connections. That means I'm either missing episodes or else I need to manually babysit iTunes.
Is there a way to set the number of simultaneous downloads? I'm using XP.
Thanks.

You can turn simultaneous downloads off. In the downloads window, at the lower left. Also, while things are downloading, you can pause all but one or two.

How to set the number of rows per page dynamically

Hello all,
i urgent need the option to set the number of rows per page dynamically.
I've got a parameter.
In dependence of the value of this paramter i want to set the number of rows per page of a repeating frame.
The Reports Builder version i use is 10.1.2.0.2
I defined a report trigger.
My code so far:
function R_G_BEMERKUNGFormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
if :vYN_Display_one_per_page = 'Y' then
--what i've to write right here??
return (TRUE);
else
     return (TRUE);
end if;
return (TRUE);
end;
Can anyone help me please??
Best regards
Florian

Do you just need to change back and forth between 1 and some other number? If so, you can create two identical layouts, one with the "number of rows per page" preperty (on the repeating frame) set to 1 and the other layout set to whatever. You would have to have duplicate layouts for each group you wanted to do this with. Your format trigger on the outermost master group frame where num of rows was 1 would look like:
function M_G_ename_GRPFRFormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
if :vYN_Display_one_per_page = 'Y' then
    return (TRUE);
else
    return (FALSE);
end if;
end;Your format trigger on the outermost master group frame where num of rows was whatever would look like:

How to set the number of records displayed at run time

Is it possible to set the number of records displayed block property at run time? The built-in 'GET_BLOCK_PROPERTY' can retrieve the number of RECORDS_DISPLAYED. But I can't find SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY to set this property. Is there anyway I can set this property programmatically? Thanks for any suggestions!

Bookmark Go to End
goal: How to vary the number of records displayed in a block
programmatically
fact: Oracle Forms Developer
fix:
Block property 'Number of Records Displayed' can not be changed during runtime
using SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY. However, it is still possible programmatically change
the visual appearance of the form so that it creates effect of changing this
property. To achieve such an effect follow these steps:
1. in Forms Builder, in the multirecord block define the new set of items.
The simplest way is to copy/paste the original item and rename created item.
2. set properties of these new items so that they are the same as the properties
of the original items. If these new items were copied from original items
then properties are already the same. Modify following properties
'Database item' on new items to value 'No'
'Synchronize with item' to the value of the original item
'Number of Items Displayed' to desired value.
'Visible' to 'No'
In other words, these new items are mirrors of original items.
3. code event, which is meant to trigger the change in block appearance.
This code should use SET_ITEM_PROPERTY built-in to set properties
like 'VISIBLE', 'ENABLED', 'NAVIGABLE', 'UPDATE_ALLOWED' and others
to desired value for items which are about to be displayed, then
move cursor to one of these just displayed items with GO_ITEM built-in
and then hide the previously displayed items.
Example:
Assume that the block is built on SCOTT.DEPT schema. Following will
change the set of displayed items
set_item_property('dept.mdeptno',visible,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mdname',visible,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mloc',visible,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mdeptno',enabled,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mdname',enabled,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mloc',enabled,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mdeptno',update_allowed,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mdname',update_allowed,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mloc',update_allowed,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mdeptno',navigable,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mdname',navigable,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mloc',navigable,property_true);

How to set the number of sockets for batch processing at runtime?

Hello all,
I need to change the execution model at runtime. I have achieved this by setting the 'ModelPath' property of the sequence file at runtime. When I set the sequence file model as batchmodel, i need to set the number of test sockets also dynamically. How can this be done? Once i set the number of sockets, i would also have to set the UUT serial number for each socket. Please help me out in solving this.
Thanks and Regards
Madhu Srinivasan.

Hi Madhu,
You can do this by inserting a sequence file callback into your main sequence and choose the ModelOptions callback. You can then use the expression step to set the "Parameters.ModelOptions.NumTestSockets" value to whatever you want. If you then use the Test UUTs execution entry point you will be prompted for serial numbers automatically. You could also use this same procedure but alter the ModelOptions callback in the process model directly, either way works just as well but I think that using a sequence file callback gives a bit more flexibility in the system.
Hope this helps,
Nick

How do you set the number of visible items in the popup box of a JComboBox?

Hi,
Do you know how to set the number of items that shall be visible in the popup box of a JComboBox?
I have produced an implementation of an autocomplete JComboBox such that following each character typed in the text field, the popup box is repopulated with items. Normally 8 items are visible when showing the popup box. Sometimes even though the list of items is > 8 the popup box shrinks in height so that 8 items are not visible.
Thanks,
Simon

Below is my JComboBox autocomplete implementation.
The problem seems to occur when the list of items is reduced in number, the button selected and then the list size increased, the popup box does not automatically increase in size. I have tried setMaximumRowCount � but does not resolve the problem.
To see how it works:
1)     click in text field.
2)     Type 1 � the full list of items are shown.
3)     Type 0 � the list has been narrowed down � the popup box is greyed out for remaining items.
4)     Type Backspace � the full list of items is redisplayed.
5)     Type 0 � to narrow down the list.
6)     Select button � the popup box is invisible.
7)     Select button � the popup box is displayed with 2 items.
8)     Select Backspace � here is the problem � the combo box list contains all items but the popup box has been shrunk so that only 2 are visible.
9)     Select button � popup box is invisible.
10)     Select button � popup box is as expected.

How do you set the number of rows in a spreadsheet, so that even when you drag data in, in writes over those rows instead of adding a new row?

How do you set the number of rows you want in a spreadsheet, so that even when you drag data in, in writes over those rows instead of adding a new row?

After the discovery reported above, I filed this report :
Bug ID# 10073038
Summary:
When Numbers is used on a system with decimal comma a csv file may be good AND wrong
Steps to Reproduce:
With Numbers v2, you introduced an interesting enhancement.
In system using the comma as decimal separator, Numbers requires csv files using the semi-colon as values delimiter.
In fact it’s true if we OPEN the document dragging its icon on Numbers one or thru the open dialog.
This said.
(1) Drag and drop a csv built with the 'semi-colon' standard on a table or on a sheet
(2) Drag and drop a csv built with the 'comma' standard on a table or on a sheet
Expected Results:
Every normally constituted user assume that in
case (1) he will get a perfectly built table
case (2) he will get every cells of a row in a single cell
Actual Results:
In fact you forgot the drag and drop way of use and in
case (1) every values separated by semi-colon are inserted in a single cell
case (2) values separated by comma are correctly spread in a table
isn’t it ridiculous ?
Regression:
Except looking in QuickView to see which is exactly the structure of the file to decide the way we will insert it in a Numbers document, we may use an applescript fair enough to replace the semi-colons by TAB characters
or
to replace the commas by TABs and the decimal periods by commas
Notes:
While I am on this subject, I wish to make two proposals:
(1) It would be fine to format the date according to the ISO format year-mm-dd when you export a Numbers doc to csv.
Doing that, dates would be imported correctly in every countries.
At this time, on an English system, you export as mm/dd/year.
If the doc is open on a system using the format dd/mm/year, the results will be odd.
On a system using the format dd/mm/year, you export this way and so, if the doc is open on a system using the format mm/dd/year the results are odd too.
As every localized versions accept the ISO format (at least on entry), using it in the export scheme would give a correct behavior everywhere.
(2) It would be fine to add the format Tab Separated Values in the Export pane.
TSV + ISO date format would give documents opening flawlessly everywhere.

How to set the number of elements dequeued?

Hello All,
I am relatively new to LabView. I use LabView 8.2 to detect Joystick movement using a set voltage threshold. Totally, I have 6 channels of analog input. The sampling rate is 2 Kilo Hertz with continuous sampling mode (buffer size set to 10 Kilo Samples). I show a visual stimulus on a computer monitor. Within 3 seconds from stimulus onset, the subject has to press the joystick. So I use a while loop that runs until the subject moves the joystick in any direction as detected by crossing of voltage threshold. The while loop was intended to run for a max of 3 sec if joystick was not moved. My intention while using the vi (see below) was to continuously monitor the voltage signal by means of removing voltage data points from the queue by the labview function/vi - "dequeue element". When I dequeue from inside the loop, the dequeue function removes about 100 msec worth of voltage data points ( = 198-201 points; sampling rate -2Khz) from each of the six channels. This creates problem for me because a single dequeue operation takes 40 to 85 msec during which the loop cannot be stopped. This results in miscalculation of the actual time when the joystick was moved.
Is there a way to set how many data points the dequeue function removes? My goal is to remove about 1-2 msec worth of data points so that the loop can exit within under 5msec of the joystick movement.
I have attached the screen shots of the subvi's I am using.
Acquire Response.jpg - the while loop that has the subvi: Access Analog Data Queue
Access Analog Data Queue.jpg - front panel of the subvi that has the 'dequeue element' function.
Remove Element.jpg - a case of Access Analog Data Queue.vi showing the 'dequeue element' function
Sorry for the long message. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello Lynn and tst,
Thanks for your suggestions. I have attached a screen shot of a vi that has the enqueue function. As Lynn pointed out, it was the enqueueing size that was reflected in the size of the dequeueing. I tried various ways to control the enqueue element size in order to control the dequeue element size. Many of my tricks failed. I had set the data acquisition to be continuous at 2kHz with 10Ks buffer size. You may want to look at the attached image of the subvi "Analog Acquisition" while I explain my attempts. The first thing that I noticed was the 'dt' value in the input node of the timed loop which had been set by somebody to 100. I thought that was part of the reason why my dequeue size was always worth 100msec data points. So I changed it to 1 msec. This definitely made a difference in the chunk size of the dequeued element. Now dequeueing removes only data points worth 1 - 5msec. I also noticed that my data reading timer loop(the while loop in "Analog Acquisition" picture) takes about 20 -25 msec instead of the set 1 msec.
Why does the loop take so long? I have set the 'number of samples per channel' to -1 so that DAQmx read.vi (see it in Analog Acquisition subvi block diagram) can grab whatever data is available currently and put that into the queue. Can this be a reason why the loop takes more than 20 msec? I also tried to set the number of samples per channel to 2. I reasoned that with the sampling rate of 2KHz, 1ms loop should be able to pull 2data points and enqueue them. But it gave me the much-often-seen error code ":Error -200279 occurred at DAQmx Read (Analog 1D Wfm NChan NSamp).vi:1->Timed structure(s): DAQ Loop". I tried various combinations of loop time and number of samples per channel. I get Error-200279 very often. Note that I have several state transitions and only in a couple of them during every cycle of state transitions, I remove elements and flush the data queue (one place where I remove elements is shown in my original message in the picture-'Acquire Response.jpg').
How do I set the data acquisition loop to enqueue elements for exactly 1 msec or n msec so that I can control my dequeue size?
Thanks a lot, I am getting really tired of fixing this problem. Please help.
Mani
