Simple Question? Limit input length of inputfield

Hello,
how can I limit the max. input of a inputfield?
When I do this by the local dictionary I get on the view a value help-button besides the inputfield. But I don't want that. What could be another way?
Thanks, Regards Mario

Mario,
Yes, you have to create new simple type for this purposes. And you have to define Maximum length property for this type.
When I do this by the local dictionary I get on the view a value help-button besides the inputfield.
Very strange... Probably you declared enumeration for this type as well? Or created modifiable simple value set at run-time?

Simple question about Input Methods

Hi everyone. I have a JTextArea in a frame. I want this TextArea to accept Chinese language directly from keyboard. For this I need to select an Input Method.
One way to select an Input Method is to click on the control icon on the top left corner of the frame window and then select "Input Methods > Chinese".
But I dont want selecting input method this way. I want to select Input Method for my TextArea within the code in frame's constructor.
I do hope that you are getting my point.
I tried like this:
TextArea.selectInputMethod( new Locale("SIMPLIFIED_CHINESE"));
But it gives me error that "cannot find method selectInputMethod()".
I shall be very very very thankfull to you.
Thanx

Yeh, it would be simpler to run a test, but i'm not at a workstation with a jdk or IDE at the moment!
Thanks for the response though!

Very Simple C question - reading input parameters/flags... [SOLVED]

This is an extremely simple question. Please forgive me for being a noob. I am writing an application in C (with GCC) called GAPE and need to be able to pass it parameters through a shell script (/usr/bin/gape) that can determine how it runs. To start with easy stuff, I want the end-user to be able to type "gape -V" to output the version of the program. How do I do that? I understand that I need to put the shell script in /usr/bin...where should I put the actual gcc-compiled gape application? Or do I even need a shell script? Can I just put the GAPE binary in /usr/bin and pass parameters to it directly? If so, how do I do that in C? Any help is greatly appreciated.

include <stdio.h>
main(int argc, char *argv[])
int i;
for(i = 1; i < argc; i++) //argc = the number of arguments
printf("param nr %d: %s\n", i, argv[i]); // argv[i] contain the arguments, with 0 being the program name (anyone may correct me here)
[jaqob@p238 c++-egna]$ ./a.out 1 2 3
param nr 1: 1
param nr 2: 2
param nr 3: 3
[jaqob@p238 c++-egna]$ ./a.out -h -V -zxvf
param nr 1: -h
param nr 2: -V
param nr 3: -zxvf
A very simple program that prints the parameters
And yes, you can put the program in /usr/bin/ without a shellscript

WD Abap - simple question (required field)

hi folks,
quite a simple question i guess.
i have a field marked as required (gets a red asteriks). In the actions i have "Standard" so they should have to do all the validations, but i still can execute the action, i did not find a docu for the behaviour of the "required" features? i thought like in r/3 sapgui appl. a default error messages will be shown?
any ideas?
kind regards,
oliver

Oliver,
I guess there is no difference between WD ABAP and WD Java in this regard, so I will answer from WD Java developer point:
"Required" actually means visual hint to user that input is mandatory. What "mandatory" actually means is application-specific.
For example, in Java string could be either null, or empty, or contains only spaces, or rest. What is mandatory here? Not null? Not empty? Something besides spaces? Ok, even worth, let us assume that we are entering some number (material, order). So string with only zeroes is also "empty".
Hence WD does not handle "required" flag itself, this is left for application developer.
Certainly, some data type constraints like minimal text length, or minimal numeric value may be treated as "required", and here WD works well.

Does Simple Credit Limit Check Include Checking for Open Orders

Hi all,
I have this issue here where I have configured the system to use simple credit limit check with error message. I did not use the standard/common automatic credit limit check since user insist on a pop-up warning and that the order could not be saved. But, I realized that it does not take open orders into account too although I have set the risk categories. Is it true and what solution is there for this issue then.
Thank you for all your help in inputs.
Regards,
Yvonne

Hi,
Please follow the below configuration settings for Simple credit check process.
Simple credit check: In simple credit check the system compares the credit exposure with payers credit limit. The
credit exposure results from the total of the net document value and the value of the open items.
We can set the following system responses at when the credit limit has been reached.
A u2013Warning message
B u2013 Error message
C u2013 Delivery block

 Save and Exit
Define credit control area: Transaction code: OB45
Credit control area is an organizational unit that specifies and checks the credit limit for customers. A credit control
area can include one or more company codes. It means we can assign one credit control area to number of company
codes.

Data for updating SD fields
Update [000012]: Open order value on time axis, delivery and billing document value. This field value controls
when the values are open sales orders, deliveries, billing documents are updated in LIS. We can specify the
following update groups for updating credit related statistics.
 Update group 000012:
Sales order: Increase open order value from delivery relevant schedule lines.
Delivery: Reduces open order value from delivery relevant schedule lines.
Increases open delivery value
Billing document: Reduces the open delivery value, increases open billing document value.
Financial accounting document: Reduces open billing document value
Increases open items.
 Update group 000015:
Delivery: Increases open delivery value.
Increases open billing document value.
Financial accounting document: Reduces open billing document value

 Update group 000018:
Sales order: Increases open delivery value
Billing document: Reduces open delivery value.
Increases open billing document value.
Financial accounting document: Reduces open billing document value.
Increases open items.
Fiscal year variant [K4]: It indicates specific fiscal year variant for particular credit control area. The fiscal year
variant is essential when a credit control area covers multiple company codes whose fiscal years are different. Then
the values of the open orders are updated by posting period.
Specify risk category [001]: 001 = High risk
002 = Medium risk
003 = Low risk
This risk category entered in the related control area of the customeru2019s credit master record, which is automatically
created when a customer is created in a company code.
The credit master record is automatically maintained when at least one of the below fields is maintained for the
corresponding control area.
(A) Risk category
(B) Credit representative group
(C) Credit limit
Credit limit: The credit limit that we enter here in the specific credit control area of the customeru2019s credit master
record. This is automatically created when a customer is created in a company code (in XD01).
NOTE: This credit limit is not a total credit limit for the control area.
Representative group [001]: Define credit representative group in IMG.
 All company codes: If we want to tell to the system that, this credit control area is permitted for
postings in every company code we have defined.
 Save and Exit
NOTE: After this create Risk categories and Credit representative groups and come back to this step and assign
these values to our credit control area.
Risk category and Representative group defined and maintained by FI/CO consultants in IMG.

 Save and Exit
 Go to FD32 and check whether system created customeru2019s credit master data automatically or not.
System creates customers credit master data automatically when we (FI/CO) people) configure credit control area in
IMG.
So as to perform simple credit check we have to specify customer master payers limit in the credit control area, and
create customer master in XD01 transaction code.
 Specify reconciliation account number (GL account number)
 Payment history record: Check payment history record control in payment transaction tab. It is the
control parameter to update the payment details that are made by customers and system will show the
payment details in the FD32.
 Specify the credit control area in credit control area field in billing document tab.
 Save and Exit
 Go to VA01 and raise the sales order
Check the system responses in each and every level of sales document processing and check whether the system
blocked the delivery document (due to the setting in VOV8 of OR in check credit limit field [C] = Blocked for
delivery).
 To release the delivery go to VKM4 and release the delivery document.

A very very very simple question

Hi guys,
I have a very simple question and standard but I cant find anywhere...
I have two dateTime variables, i need to calculate difference between this dates in days, thats it.
I tried all functions and tried without success a Java Embed task but I couldnt retrieve this objects as java.util.Date so I couldnt calculate exactly the difference in days like this pure java code:
(dataVencimento.getTime() - dataReferencia.getTime()) / 86400000L)
can you help me this?

Hi Jose
Just see if these alternate approaches works. I know there may be lot like this and you may be lucky to find out simple out of box solution itself. If you want to solve this issue and move ahead, gives these approaches a shot.
1. Create a very simple standalone WebService that takes 2 input date elements (can be of Date type or String type. If string type, convert to date in your java code). Create a simple operation like getDaysBetween(firstDate, secondDate). In the generated webservice impl class, use the java code apis (refer earlier link for usage), and get the difference. Return this value. NOW, invoke this WebService in your BPEL Process, and pass your 2 inputs (if the bpel payload elemetns are date object or string objects of date), and get output, and then use this output in your continuing bpel process.
2. This approach, I did a long back. When we insert any expression using XPath, in that editor window on bottom right side, we see many categories and for each category we see list of functions we can use, like for String, we can use concat etc. I vaguely remember reading somewhere, that we can add our own custom functions also in this section. So explore this direction and see if you can add your own function and then use that fucntion with your 2 input dates.
I have not given solution to your problem, but may be these directions can help you move ahead. Or something along these lines.
Thanks

Simple Question - Data Import

Hi,
i have a simple question. Is it wise to change our actual import scenarios for input data from systems out of sap to XI?
Today we have the scenario that data from outer systems will send per ftp to a special directory. After that a report will transform the data into a batchinput. The btci will send per rfbibl into the system. Now we have a huge number of such reports. Will it now be better to change to XI, which we use perhaps for MDM?
Xi could take the file from ftp-srever maps the fields an will send per bapi to sap.
Is it a quite simple scenario or is batchinput still the better way.

Hi,
If you have a scenario where you have different file formats , which needs to be converted and then send to different systems based on some conditions , then suggested is XI usage.
However, also if you already have XI installed and running for the MDM system , then you can think of routing all messages through XI. It may make sense to use one system for all routing and data conversion puposes.
Hope this view helps.
Cheerio,
Disha

Swing questions: passing inputs(parameters) betwen classes

Hi,
I am writing a program that needs GUI. It is very new to me. And many simple questions I couldn't find answer. Part of the reason is that I don't even know how to ask questions. So, I hope you can help me.
First question:
I have the application ( main program ) class, in which a 'set parameter' button should invoke another 'input' panel ( coded in a separated class, I suppose), which has a couple of test fields with labels. once numbers are put in those fields and 'OK' button is clicked, those numbers need to be returned to the main program (in the form of an 'parameter' object or an array . ) My question is how to pass those information back to the main class?
2nd
Somehow when I click the 'X' button in the input panel, the whole program quits. I want it behaves like a 'cancel' button. How?
Thanks!

1) This is more of a design issue than really a java
question. Establishing references between the objects
is quite simple. At some point, you must have created
the GUI from your main program. This would be a good
point to establish a reference:Thanks! I guess I over-thought about this issue
>
2) You can set for a frame the default Closing
operation, but I don't remember the exact method
call. See the sun tutorials for this, as well.should the default closing operation be set in the parent panel or in the child panel? currently I set the parent panel to be closed when exits, and didn't set the operation in the child.
Thanks!

Audigy 4 and Reciever/Amp simple question

Hi all,
Despite inundating myself with what is probably TOO much information from the knowledge base and forum, I could really do with an answer to what is essentially a pretty simple question....
I recently got an Audigy 4 sound card and external io hub. Lovely bit of kit. Very nice. I only really use it to watch the odd dvd and listen to music with WMP9.
I have a Sony multi-channel receiver/amp with 5. speakers attached.
The amp has multiple digital connections - all either optical or co-axial. (and individual 5. analogue too)
These currently accept optical links from my dvd player and xbox. Lovely.
So, I would prefer to use the digital connections (nice and easy cable approach as with xbox) but I think I'll only get 2 channels when I play dvd... So what is the best way to connect the two....
Thanks
Glen

The thing about that kind of digital connection is that involves compressing 5. channels into the space of 2, using proprietary encodings. This makes sense in terms of storage space savings (i.e. more room on that DVD for special features), or if bandwidth is constrained (i.e. broadcast TV can fit 5. into the space originally designed for stereo), but the only way it makes any kind of sense for getting audio a few feet from the soundcard to a receiver or speaker system is because nothing more direct ends up being available. The result is that your xbox needs a high-powered chip to make something very (and unnecessarily) complex seem simple. Your Audigy does not have that; it does not have the ability to make that kind of 5. audio for your receiver to then decode.
Your Audigy does, in fact, have the ability to output 5. digitally, in the digital space that 6 full-range channels need, using a single cable; but your receiver, like virtually all of such, doesn't accept it. CL digital speaker systems have a "Digital DIN" input which uses it, but your receiver does not have a "Digital DIN" input, nor any equivalent of that. Even if it did, there's still a problem, because it's muted for DVD-Audio's higher-resolution formats, purely as an effort to prevent consumers access to high-resolution digital audio signals that are not encoded, for copy-protection reasons.
Because DVD 5. soundtracks are pre-encoded on the DVD, you don't need the Audigy to be able to encode. All that is needed is to get the soundtrack from the DVD to your receiver as is. The Audigy can do that. As the other post indicates, the keys are to tell the DVD player software to output digital, and to tell the Audigy not to decode.
Under the covers, that actually uses the Audigy as a 2-channel soundcard, and the rest of its channels are "wasted." None of its real multichannel capabilities can actually be used with a "digital" connection like that. However, if all you do is watch DVD's and listen to stereo audio files, especially if your receiver has features to simulate full surround from stereo, you may not care.
Personally, my strong preference is for the multichannel analog hookup, although I might set up both types so I could compare the sound of the receiver's decoding with the Audigy's decoding.
Things you can't do when using an external decoder hookup:
. Use the soundcard to adjust volume while listening to DD/DTS multichannel soundtracks (though it's best to use the receiver to adjust volume all the time, actually).
2. Hear any other sound sources while listening to DD/DTS multichannel soundtracks.
3. Get multichannel audio from PC games.
4. Get multichannel upmixing using CL's CMSS feature.

Simple question on the main method

Hello,
I have a very simple question and hope that somebody 'out there' can help me on this topic:
I just want to pass some Strings to the main method, which means that I want to do sth. like this:
java ProgramXY parameter1, parameter2
I thought it was possible to access these parameters in my main method like the following:
public static void main(String argv[]) {
System.out.println(argv[0]);
System.out.println(argv[1]);
But it does not work. So what do I do wrong ? Thank you for your help,
Findus

That should actually work - though you don't use the comma - just spaces. I don't think a comma would screw things up though - it would just become part of parameter 1.
Of course, you still want to check argv.length to make sure you don't try reading an array member that doesn't exist.
What are you seeing if you're not seeing your parameters?
If you're not putting enough parameters, it MIGHT be possible that you're getting an ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception before the first System.out.println's are flushed to the screen - unsure though.

Simple question. Since apple has extinguished iDVD Are there any other Software programs that can produce the end product iDVD did?

There are many a thousands of people who are producingvideos on completed DVDs. As an amateur videographer using iMovie first nowusing Final Cut pro to produce completed ready to distribute DVDs, I find ithard to believe at the meeting you mentioned anyone with common sense wouldhave explained the scenario above. On an amateur level so many folks have beencreating videos of Weddings, Home Movies, and many different Special Events. Onin particular are sports events. I shoot a sports event like Mix Martial ArtsEvents utilizing several video cameras. Then editing with Final cut Pro andsometimes iMovie. All of my completed videos that have been edited in either ofthese two programs are shared (like hand in glove) with iDVD. Short of steppinginto the commercial world Apple has deleted many people from producing a semiprofessional looking product.
I do not know if the can be answered here in the format buthere it goes!!

YouView - a simple question

Hi - new to this so excuse me if this seems a ridiculously simple questions.
The question is : when you have connected up YouView, does that mean that you must watch live TV only on YouView ?
The reason I ask is that I had a slightly better picture (and sound volume) on my TV before I connected up my YouView box (not a significant difference, but noticeable).
I have tried to turn off my YouView box, or put in on standby, but obviously I then get a message that I have no reception.
I could of course disconnect the TV aerial from the YouView box, connect it directly to the TV and watch "normal" tv that way, bit it seems like a lot of hassle.
Any advice welcomed !!!!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You connect the RF out on the YouView box to the RF in on the telly. You can then use the telly's own tuner if you want. If your TV supports different profiles each input you may need to tweak the setting for the port you have the YouView box connected to. The settings are rarely ideal out of the box.
