Setting variables in Javascript

Hello all,
We are trying to set a variable in javascript like so:
var myFish = $v('P22_EPSB_SGF_GROUP').value;
does not work. Yet the statement
if ($v('P22_EPSB_SGF_GROUP') == '2')
can be evaluated.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

lilhelp,
The $v function returns the value so you don't need the ".value"
The $x function returns the element so you would need the ".value"

Set variable via Javascript

I got a long string (length exceeds 32512) from Javascript, and want to pass the sting to a variable to a item called P_SQL
I use *$x("P_SQL").value* in javascript to set the value, but my process couldn't get the value before I submit, however, when I do submit it reports an error like this :
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
mod_plsql: /pls/alq/wwv_flow.accept HTTP-400 Value param too long. Length is 216343. Upper limit is 32512
Anyone knows how to handle this conflict ?

Try like this to set the value in javascript, consider the string is stored in the variable 'pValue'.
$s('P_SQL',pValue); Please read the document http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E3709701/doc/doc.42/e35127/javascript_api.htm#autoId36_
Thanks,

Set global x01 variable in javascript?

Is it possible to set the x variables in javascript ? eg.
$s('x01', 'some text');
alert("my value = " + $v('x01');
does not seem to be working for me
Thanks
Jon

Hello Jon,
It seems like I owe you an apology. I didn’t pay too much attention to the logic you are trying to implement, plus I thought you’ll also consider Rutger post. To be honest, I never tried to use x01-x10 outside an on-demand process, until your thread.
So let’s start from the beginning. Although we are using the term global variables with regards to the x01-x10 variables (and they are indeed defined as global variables in the wwv_flow package) they don’t have the same functionality as application items, and in our context, mainly persistence. In fact, they were created to save us the need to define application items as temporary items, to be used only to pass values in AJAX processes.
If you set one of these variables, using the addParam() method, its value will be available to you in the on-demand process that you reference in your AJAX request, but the value will not be set in session-state (like application/page items) and will not be persistence.
If you want to use this value outside the on-demand process, you need to assign it to a page or application item. In your case the code
:P1_MY_PAGE_VALUE := apex_application.g_x01;should be part of the on-demand ‘jmf_test' process. The P1_MY_PAGE_VALUE should be set with a Source Used of “Only …” so it will be populated from session state.
The code of
var ajaxRequest = new htmldb_Get(null, $v('pFlowId'),null, 0);should only be used when you need to save session state of application/page items from JavaScript (and not with the x01-x10 variables).
Hope this time things are clearer and you’ll be able to achieve what you need. If, for any reason, they are not, please post again.
Regards,
Arie.

Using Spry Data Set Variable in Recordset

I have a page that contains a spry data set and a recordset. The recordset uses one of the variables from the spry data set to filter its results. how do I apply the spry data set variable to the recordset?

I believe passing this the variable through the URL requires you to update the page, right?
Yes
Is there anyway to grab the spry data set variable direct and apply it to your recordset filter?
The SpryDataSet variable can only be used on the clientside (JavaScript) so you will have to get your recordset using JS.
A page refresh can be set in motion if you add {useCache: false, loadInterval: 500} to your dataset to then set an observer to your dataset to invoke the page refreash function.

Accessing c4 Variables in Javascript

How do you pass a Captivate 4 variable (User or System) in Javascript when the published .SWF is embedded in another tool like Lectora or Flash?
In Captivate, you can set a value into a Lectora variable (VARmyLectoraVariable.set('myvalue');, but I don't know how to access the Captivate variable.
When run from Captivate, this works:
Captivate.GetVariable('CaptivateVariable');
But when the published .swf from Captivate is inserted into Lectora and run, I get a JavaScript error ('Captivate' is undefined).
How do you reference the Captivate variable in JavaScript when the .swf is not embedded in the Captivate project html file?
Thank you!

Reading locale system properties like set-variables of a windows Client

Hello,
is there a possibility to read locale system properties like set-variables of a windows Client?
We want to read path-Info and user-info. Can I perhaps user javascript?
Best regards
Oliver Prodinger

Hi Oliver,
This code will work (assuming the client approves running of ActiveX)
<html>
<script>
var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
var env = shell.Environment("process");
alert(env("COMPUTERNAME"));
alert(env("USERNAME"));
</script>
</html>
You can't really run it from WD, but what you can do is run this code from a portal component (DynPage/JspDynPage) that is running in the same page as your WD application and pass data by using portal eventing.
The portal component iview can have size of 1 pixel so it won't be seen...

Using Flash variable in Javascript problem

I want Flash to load a rss feed and hand it to Javascript
which will do the parsing and rendering. AFAIK Javaswcript can't
load external documents and include them into the current html page
for some security reasons. So I try this approach.
I attached the code I have. My Problem is that Flash does
pass the variable to javascript but the document.write overwrites
everything else in the current html document.
I don't want to work with popups for obvious reasons. The
variable must be included in the _current_ document.
Can anyone give me a hint how to get this working properly?

What is happening is the XML file is getting cached by the browser.
There are a few different ways to fix this, but this is what I have found to be the easiest.
In the Actionscript, where the call to load the xml is, append a random string to the end of the call.
so:
(This is AS2 code - so a conversion is necessary if using AS3)
myXML.load("http://path/to/xml.xml?r="+Math.round(Math.random()*99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999));
What this will do is tell the browser that you are calling a unique file every time you try to load the xml, which will forcefully bypass the cached version.

OBIEE 10g - Can I use logical SQL to set variable?

I am trying to set value of a session variable in the Advanced tab Prefix box of a request.
Assigment of absolute value like this is working good:
SET VARIABLE MYVAR=1;
Can I set the variable using logical SQL? Something like:
SET VARIABLE MYVAR = (SELECT table1.col1 from catname where table1.col2=1)
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can create a session variable or dynamic variable in the RPD and try using it in here at the Advanced Tab prefix.
But still check yourself if you need multiple values returning in the SQL statement.
Hope this is helpful/ useful.

ODI-SET VARIABLE IN PACKAGE

HI.
I am using odi11g.
i set variable "STARTTIME" To sysdate .
And "END_DATE" to a default value-- '20-JUNE-1981'.
Now in package i dropped the variable "end_date",and put the TYPE to "SET VARIABLE" and the value as below:
#VARIABLES_STARTTIME.[ The projects name is VARIABLES]
But the value of "end-date" isnt getting reset to STARTTIME.
should there be a different syntax.

HI,
Refresing the variable is working thanks.BUT i was trying to use the variable in a loop.
Where when the package is run fo rthe 1'st time the variable 'LAST_UPDATE' value should be '20-JUNE-1981' and then it should get set to the value present in 'STARTTIME" for the next time the package is run.
So, in this case, i need to set the value of the variable in the package itself.
#VARIABLES.STARTTIME isnt getting set.
i tried the package as per the below link:[ i use odi1g though]

How to set variables values via VBA.

Anybody please help.
How to set variables values via VBA in workbook. SAP Netweaver 2004s.

Pass variable values with VBA and BI 7.0 funtions to Query
At first a remark u2013 Iu2019ve read a lot of threads saying that passing values to a query can be done by using VBA code only. Iu2019ve tested it but Iu2019m not sufficient with the new BEX 7.0 API and therefore I use a mixture of BEX 7.0 funtionality and VBA. I create a BEX 7.0 design item button passing the values to a query u2013 I hide this button somewhere on the sheet or on a hidden sheet and I then raise the event to click the button from VBA code. Works fine and the maintenance is easier if something changes in the API in the future again.
How to start:
Switch to design mode in BEX Analyzer:
Implement a BEX 7.0 design item u201Cbuttonu201D
Click on the button to implement the properties
Make the input for the commands
data_provider = dataprovider_1
cmd = process_variables
subcmd = var_submit
No comes the part with the variables u2013 Letu2019s assume a query has 4 variables but you only want to change 1 with the button u2013 an organizational unit for instance.
Make a range somewhere in the excel with the following structure:
Name    Index   Value
VAR_NAME_1      1       Variablename
VAR_VALUE_EXT_1 1       variablevalue
Value should contain the name of your variable of course and u201Cvalueu201D the value of your variable
Set a name for this range with EXCEL functionality but without the header:
Back to the properties of the button: Insert the name of the range with the variables in the field Command Range:
If you have more variables to process you can of course enhance your Filterrange!
In the left upper Corner you have a name for your button:
Now you can raise the button-click in vba like this:
Application.Run "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!Sheet2.BUTTON_35_Click"

CFCs setting variables

I am getting a bit confused with cfcs using cfreturn and
cfinvoke please be patient!
1.Setting variables in cfc
In this example cfc I make a query. The cfreturn tag does
<cfreturn expression /> as I understand it. I don´t
understand how you define the expression - can you return
arguments, any column I like in variables? How do I do that?
<cfcomponent><cffunction><cfargument
name="user">
<cfquery name="checkuser">
select col1, col2, col3, col4, col5, col6
from user
where .....=....
</cfquery>
<cfreturn checkuser.col1>
2. Calling cfc:
In cfinvoke you call a variable using returnvariable="". Is
it true that the variable doesn´t have to have the same name
as in the method that the cfinvoke tag is calling? What does return
variable call? How do I define what it calls?

In any cffunction, inside or outside a cfc, if you are going
to return a value, you use the cfreturn tag. You can return
constants like true, 1, "Dan is so smart", or variables. What you
return has to be consistent with the returntype attribute of your
cffunction tag.
When you invoke a variable, you can use any name you want as
the return variable. In theory, you don't even know any variable
names inside the function. The return variable does not call
anything. It accepts what the function returns.
It is the cfinvoke tag that calls something. You control what
it calls with it's attributes.
Further details are in the cfml reference manual.
