Setting value of an item using item_id

howdy,
You know when you set value of a text or display item using its name, ie:
:block_name.item_name := 'abc';
Well, I would like to do the same, but using its item_id.
Can it be done?
The reason behind it is that, I have 50 text items on canvas. They all follow some naming convention, and I would like to set their values in some elegant loop, rather than writing a page-long code referencing their :block_name.item_name.
thanks and kind regards
mz.

Would the COPY built-in work for you? For example 50 items called genericItem1, genericItem2, ...
for i in 1..50 loop
COPY('new value', 'block.genericItem' || to_char(i));
end loop;

Javascript: set value of hidden item

Hi,
I have a select list and a hidden item on my page, after select a value, I want to write this value (and a little bit more) to the hidden item.
So I have done the following...
applied to page html header:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function setExpress(item_id)
html_GetElement('P230_HIDDEN').value = 'Test ' + html_GetElement(item_id).value;
</script>
and in selection list I set the HTML Form Element Attributes to onChange="setExpress(this.id); .
But nothing is written to the hidden item. When I make it a text field it works correct.
Isn't it possible to set a value of hidden item by javascript? Is there another way to do this (without computation)?
Thanks for help
chrissy

Hello chrissy,
I don't see the connection between the item being Hidden or Text. The item id stays the same, and so the JavaScript reference to it.
It is possible to assign values to hidden items using JavaScript, just as you did. In the following page - http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=22814:8
-you can see a working example of your situation select list populate a hidden item, then display by using alert.
After selecting from the list you should TAB out, so it will fire the JavaScript event. In your example, you were using onChange. I think that could be problematic in cases were the default value (first value) of the select list is the one chosen no change there. In my example, I'm using onBlur.
You can see the JavaScript on the source page.
Hope this help,
Arie.

Mapping in BPM - set value of collection item

Hello,
is it possible to set value to exact item of collection in mapping step in netweaver BPM?
I need something like set(<collection_variable>,<item_index>,<item_value>) - so exact opposite of GET generic function, which gets specific item from collection.
Is it possible in NW BPM?

You dont have to apologize. I didnt meant that as offend.
I appreciate the possibility to discuss that topic with somebody, because discussion itself sometimes shows other perspective to the problem, which can lead to solution
Of course I wrote EJB function to solve that - but I cant believe that it isnt standard solution to that pretty common use case.
I think, that problem lays in very limited implementation of XPath into Netweaver BPM. I will bet my left hand, that in some future SP of BPM will SAP introduce something like this:
myCollection[1]/notificationId = notificationId
which is standard XPath way to do that

How to set value for Dropdown control using Querystring filter wepart

Hi,
I have a dropdown in my customized list form and need to set the value for the dropdown control using query string filter web part.
I am able to set value for textbox control using Query String Filer web part.
But, since the dropdown values are not populated on form load, the value is not set for dropdown control.
How to load the values in dropdown control on form load and set a value using Query String filter webpart?
Thanks,
dhijit

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to filter choice field using Query String Filter web part.
To filter using query string filter web part, we can set the default value for the choice field in the query string filter web part panel as below, then connect to the list.
Now it would be filter by the value you have set.
Thanks & Regards,

How to set the value of application item using pl/sql in application process

Hi guys,
I want a global variable (application item) whose value will be set at the start when a user logs in to the application. The value will be retrieved from database using a sql query. I do not know the exact syntax to set the value of application item in application process. Also i want to know in which type of application process should i use to set the value of application item when a user starts a session. The value of application item varies from user to user.
Please help.
I am using apex 4.2
Regards,
Waqas

You can use the application item as bind-variable with its name. ie. your application item is named G_MY_APPLICATION_ITEM, then you can access/set it using :G_MY_APPLICATION_ITEM.
For example
BEGIN
    -- assign like a variable
    :G_MY_APPLICATION_ITEM := 'LARRY';
    -- use in a SQL statement
    SELECT WHATEVER_COLUMN
      INTO :G_MY_APPLICATION_ITEM
      FROM MY_TABLE
     WHERE USERNAME = :APP_USER
END;

Af:inputListOfValues sets value of first item in result set when using enter key or tab and component set to autosubmit=true

I'm using JDev 11.1.1.6 and when I type a value into an af:inputListOfValues component and hit either the enter key or the tab key it will replace the value I entered with the first item in the LOV result set. If enter a value and just click out of the af:inputListOfValues component it works correctly. If I use the popup and search for a value it works correctly as well. I have a programmatic view object which contains a single transient attribute (this is the view object which is used to create the list of value component from) and then I have another entity based view object which defines one of its attributes as a list of value attribute. I tried using an entity based view object to create the LOV from and everything works as expected so I'm not sure if this is a bug when using programmatic view objects or if I need more code in the VOImpl. Also, it seems that after the first time of the value being replaced by the first value in the result set that it will work correctly as well. Below are some of the important code snippets.
Also, it looks like it only doesn't work if the text entered in the af:inputListOfValues component would only have a single match returned in the result set. For instance given the result set in the code: Brad, Adam, Aaron, Fred, Charles, Charlie, Jimmy
If we enter Cha, the component works as expected
If we enter A, the component works as expected
If we enter Jimmy, the component does not work as expected and returns the first value of the result set ie. Brad
If we enter Fred, the component does not work as expected and returns the first value of the result set ie. Brad
I also verified that I get the same behavior in JDev 11.1.1.7

I have found a solution to this issue. It seems that when using a programmatic view object which has a transient attribute as its primary key you need to override more methods in the ViewObjectImpl so that it knows how to locate the row related to the primary key when the view object records aren't in the cache. This is why it would work correctly sometimes but not all the time. Below are the additional methods you need to override. The logic you use in retrieveByKey would be on a view object by view object basis and would be different if you had a primary key which consisted of more than one attribute.
@Override
protected Row[] retrieveByKey (ViewRowSetImpl viewRowSetImpl, Key key, int i) {
    return retrieveByKey(viewRowSetImpl, null, key, i, false);
@Override
protected Row[] retrieveByKey (ViewRowSetImpl viewRowSetImpl, String string, Key key, int i, boolean b) {
    RowSetIterator usersRowSetIterator = this.createRowSet(null);
    Row[] userRows = usersRowSetIterator.getFilteredRows("UserId", key.getAttribute(this.getAttributeIndexOf("UserId")));
    usersRowSetIterator.closeRowSetIterator();
    return userRows;
@Override
protected Row[] retrieveByKey (ViewRowSetImpl viewRowSetImpl, Key key, int i, boolean b) {
    return retrieveByKey(viewRowSetImpl, null, key, i, b);

what about this - look up the javadoc to get more >info ....You would have to admit, while BI Beans are great, the documentation is a little light.
int targetHPos[] = targetDataAccess.getEdgeCurrentHPos (2);
now apply the order to the targethpos as you like...now, once you make your changes to the targetHPos, how does one actually make the change to the Query object (i.e. what method does one need to call to pass the new targetHPos in??) I looked through the JavaDoc and didn't see a SetCurrentHPos or equivalent function in the DataAccess Class. Is there one?
Also, what role, if any, should the SetCurrentPage method of the query object play if I'm not using it correctly?

Setting value for attribute 'PO_NUMBER_SOLD' using setter method

Hi Experts,
I need to set the value of a screen field according to some condition. I am using setter method of this attribute to set the value but it is not getting changed.
I have written following code in DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT method of implementation class ZL_ZZBT131I_ZCREDITCHECK_IMPL using setter method of attribute
Get Referral Authorization Code
      lv_val1 = me->typed_context->crechkresph->get_po_number( attribute_path = 'PO_NUMBER' ).
      me->typed_context->crechkresph->set_po_number( attribute_path = 'PO_NUMBER'
                                                        value     = ' ' ).
while debugging I found that in method set_po_number set_property method has been used:--

                      iv_value     = <nval> ).
In set_property method following code is getting executed
if ME->IS_CHANGEABLE( ) = ABAP_TRUE and
           LV_PROPS_OBJ->GET_PROPERTY_BY_IDX( LV_IDX ) ne IF_GENIL_OBJ_ATTR_PROPERTIES=>READ_ONLY.

        else.
        check if it is a real read-only field or a display mode violation
          assert id BOL_ASSERTS subkey 'READ-ONLY_VIOLATION'
                 fields ME->MY_INSTANCE_KEY->OBJECT_NAME
                        IV_ATTR_NAME
                 condition ME->CHANGEABLE = ABAP_TRUE.
        endif.
and in debugging I found that if part ( ME->IS_CHANGEABLE( ) = ABAP_TRUE and
           LV_PROPS_OBJ->GET_PROPERTY_BY_IDX( LV_IDX ) ne IF_GENIL_OBJ_ATTR_PROPERTIES=>READ_ONLY) fails and hence else part is getting executed and hence my field a real read-only field or a display mode violation is happening according to comments in code.
What shall I do so that I would be able to change the screen field value?
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Set value to each item with loop instruction

Hello,
I use a collection to change dynamically my interactive report.
But I need to fetch the column names of my query to display the right column headings.
So I created items for each of these : :P13_C001, :P13_C002, :P13_C003, etc. to give their value to my report columns.
And I tried a before header process :
DECLARE
Vs_Id USER_TAB_COLUMNS.COLUMN_ID%TYPE;
Vs_Name USER_TAB_COLUMNS.COLUMN_NAME%TYPE;
BEGIN
for i in 1..50
loop
SELECT column_id, column_name
INTO Vs_Id, Vs_Name
FROM USER_TAB_COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME = My_Table
AND COLUMN_ID = i;
':P13_C00' || i := Vs_Name ;
end loop;
END;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
unfortunately it's not working, I've got a synthax error :
The following error has occurred:
ORA-06550: Ligne 12, colonne 11 :
PLS-00103: Symbole ":P13_C00" rencontré à la place d'un des symboles suivants :

pragma raise return select update while with ........
Anyone would have an idea ?
Thanks!
Fanny

Of course this one woks fine, but it would be too bad not to use a simplier method... :
DECLARE
    Vs_Id    USER_TAB_COLUMNS.COLUMN_ID%TYPE;
    Vs_Name   USER_TAB_COLUMNS.COLUMN_NAME%TYPE;
BEGIN
        SELECT   column_id, column_name
          INTO   Vs_Id, Vs_Name
          FROM   USER_TAB_COLUMNS
          WHERE TABLE_NAME = My_Table
            AND COLUMN_ID = 1;
      :P13_C001 := Vs_Name ;
        SELECT   column_id, column_name
          INTO   Vs_Id, Vs_Name
          FROM   USER_TAB_COLUMNS
          WHERE TABLE_NAME = My_Table
            AND COLUMN_ID = 2;
      :P13_C002 := Vs_Name ;
        SELECT   column_id, column_name

For the second alert it shows the file path value . ( C:\test\test1.sql).
I need the file session value to be displayed here
Like the following :
F477093380/test1.sql
and then I need to pass that value to parent page. and close the child page.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

Archana,
I'm not sure about javascript, but u can use a sql query on the "APEX_APPLICATION_FILES" view to obtain that.
Something like:
SELECT id,NAME
FROM APEX_APPLICATION_FILES;
