Simple slug on output

Does anyone have any advice on creating a slug with only the filename when an indesign document is exported to PDF or printed out?
It would also be helpful if the slug was just outside the bleed area (at the top).
It's also for many indesign files at different sizes with various page amounts that go through an automated batch printing process (Zevrix batchoutput), so human intervention on a document by document basis is not viable
We're using Indesign CS4.
Thanks in advance, Tim

Thanks Peter. I got that working. My problem now is that I have at least a thousand indesign files and more coming every day to apply this to. I do have a set of "master templates" that I can apply this to and distribute to our workers for future work they create. But for exisiting artwork would it be possible to update their master pages from the "master templates" via a script in an automated fashion. Existing artwork do contain a same three letter text string as the "master templates".... for example finished artwork would have BBB, TCN in the file name and so do the "master templates" (although filenames are not exactly the same in their entirety).
What do you think Peter?
Regards, Tim

Convert Tree output of IH01 transaction to simple ALV list output

Hi,
We have immediate requirement of changing the ALV TREE output of transaction IH01 to general ALV LIST display (with rows and columns) . To match with the requirement, I have to analyze the standard program first, copy the code to custom program and then do the changes which will consume lot of time.
Request your suggesttions if there are any simple ways to get the desired output so that i can quickly complete the development.
Murthy

Hi,
ALV Tree uses a different class and added logic. What logic is common is fetching and building of internal tables from data perspective. You can re-use this logic by calling the subroutine in the program and passing required values. It would be fast but in this case would take a bit of time, as you still need to analyse the code to make sure everything is right.

A simple question of output to EXCEL

Hi, all
I am using WS_EXCEL to output a interntable to excel file.( filename will be input on dynpro). the file will be created.
the Problem is, everytime i run the following codes,
1. the file content is not well formated is poor, words in the column are some aligned at right of the cell , some are at left. how can I defined the alignment?
2. everytime i create the file, the excel document is opened, can that be avoided ( run in background and file get created?)
3. everytime i create the file, the old file will be covered, how can I use other sheets of the same file to save the table content?
thanks a lot!!!

Hi
For the question related to alignment and different sheet you need to use OLE .
Now for ole ,it runs in Foreground ,this will open up the sheet for display.
Now i can suggest one thing but i am not sure if it is a good way of doing it..You can generate different sheets in background and store it on application server and while displaying them you can read them one by one and display it on different sheets of same excel.
please see the reference code for ole....

Simple input and output in a loop

I'm trying to get some user input in a loop. This is a simplification.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
            System.out.println("Enter a string:");
            String myString = input.nextLine();
            System.out.println("output: " + myString);
}In NetBeans, it usually runs fine for a few loops, but eventually (running the program 5 times or so) I get output like this:
run:
Enter a string:
1
output: 1
Enter a string:
output: 2
Enter a string:
2
3
output: 3
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 9 seconds)It starts writing the prompt before the output and gets all jumbled. The problem is worse if I have more input and output statments in the loop. I thought it might just be a timing issue, but it doesn't matter how fast or slow I enter the information. After a few successive runs, the output always gets out of order. How can I keep in line?

hi!
why dont you try using printf it will give you a better formating capasities.
it work like this.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
            System.out.println("Enter a string:");
            String myString = input.nextLine();
            System.out.printf("output: %s \n" , myString ); // the %s is the place the string will apear
                                                                                   //and the \n is a escape caracter that creates a new line.
}if you need more help with printf read this:

Simple report list output sent as attachment thru email

Hi All,
Here's my task : I need to schedule a bi-weekly report that obviously runs in the background and produces output. From that output, I want to capture (with no manual intervention) the list output to an attachment and email a recipient. I've looked over code snippets and understand most of the <b>LIST</b> functions, but most deal with uploading a file from the frontend, which I do not want. Any ideas? Thx in advance.

Help! Simple Formula, Unique Output?

Post Author: kjameson70
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
In order to save space, I am creating a simple formula to include a company name, location, contact & phone instead of putting each field into a Text Box, which makes the Detail section of the report the same size whether data is reported or not.
Creating the formula is easy, but I want each field to print on a new line, instead of in the same row or to wrap.
How do I tell the formula to go to the next line? **
Current Formula: + + +
Preferred Result: Company Location Contact Phone
Not: CompanyLocationContactPhone2
What needs to be done to get the Preferred Result?
This result is one of many columns on the report.

for(num2=1;num2<num1;num2++) //Remove the num2<=num1 and let it be as shown

Congratulations, your code compiles, runs, and appears to produce correct output. (I didn't check every result.) That's far more than most students manage.
I'd recommend that you separate generating the values from printing them. Can you store primes in an array and then pass that array to another method that prints them out according to your assignment's requirements?
The good news is that you've solved a good chunk of the problem already. You only have the printing to worry about.
I'd improve on your class naming. Main? C'mon. How 'bout PrimeFinder or something with a bit more imagination. Names matter in programming. If you gave me this class I'd have to look at the source code to figure out what Main did, but PrimeFinder gives me a hint just from the name.
Move that stuff out of the main() method and into one of its own. Maybe you can pass in the upper limit over which you want the method to search for primes and return an array of values.

Simple query-strange output

Hi all,
I have a table x having some data.
if I do,
select * from x where dt='31-OCT-08';
It retrieves the data.
But if do
select * from x where dt=last_day(sysdate);
it retrieves nothing.
Why is that so?
Last_day(sysdate)='31-OCT-08'

Last_day(sysdate)='31-OCT-08'Wrong!
Last_day(sysdate) >'31-OCT-08'
Boneist already gave the correct answer. Sysdate has a time component. THis time component is still there after you used the last_day function.
You can check it for yourself by simply testing this condition.

Simple digital output

How can i use counter as simple digital output(On, OFF) for 6602?
I want to use counter output (PFI_32) as simple On/Off output, because in the future
I want to change my application to pulse generation.

Hi,
An example of writing to a digital output line can be found at:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\VisualC\Do\DOoneline.C
As in the LabVIEW example, you will have to set the line to number 28. Program is hardcoded to use
DIO_28 of TIO board. DIO_28 is pin 32.
I hope this helps, and have a Great Day!

How to control a digital output signal using the DAQ assistant?

I am using a USB 6251 DAQ board and would like to control a switch. I am gathering airflow, pressure, and acoustic data on the same board (analog input) and would like the switch to trigger when the airflow value is within a pre-determined range. Finally, I would like to reverse the polarity of the switch (to off) about a second after the initial digital signal, all of which is during continuous data acquisition.
I am able to actuate the switch only when pressing the "run" button in the DAQ assistant window. I am proficient with data acquisition but have never tried programming an output... Please help!
Thanks!
-a troubled researcher
P.S. I am running LabVIEW 8.5 as well.

blsmith4,
You probably won't get the control of the digital port on your card by only using the DAQ Assistant. One of the following examples should provide you the functionality that you would like out of the box:
Digital - SW - Timed Output (Simple)
Digital - Continuous Output (More Complex)
Continuous Write Digital Port - External Clock - Non Regeneration (Most Complex)
Let me know if these work better for you.
Best,

FPGA output different to emulator

I've written a simple vi that outputs a sine wave using the FPGA sine generator. This passes through a half-wave rectifier setup (via a SCB-68 connector block) and back into the FPGA. When I set the execution target to the FPGA emulator the vi works perfectly. A full sine wave is displayed on one wave-chart, and a half wave on other. However, when I target the FPGA device and compile and download the vi, the output turns into what appears to be random noise. Both wave-charts show nothing like a sine wave. Whats going on?
Cheers,
Rob.

Actually i've just found the following in a help file, i'll give it a go...
Sine Generator Details
If you target an FPGA device emulator, the Sine Generator VI outputs every point of the generated sine wave, regardless of the rate at which LabVIEW calls the VI. To produce the same data while targeting an FPGA device emulator as when targeting an FPGA device, change phase increment to take into account the rate at which the FPGA VI calls the Sine Generator VI. The following equation determines the correction for using an FPGA device emulator.
phase increment (emulation) = phase increment (FPGA) * FPGA loop time (ticks)

Save SQL select output as html page on another box.

How can I save a simple sql select output on another server as a html page?

Hi,
You can use the Oracle product WebDB (Oracle Portal) to create reports in HTML over the DB (simplest way).
Instead You can use SQL*Plus on the remote server (where You want to spool), enable the spool to file (using SPOOL) and create the select as
SELECT 'html tags' | | field/s | | 'html tags'
FROM your_table;Using this solution You have to manually "draw" the report.
Hope this helps.

Query output based on date - Oracle 8i

I am trying to write a very simple query to output data based
on date ranges, but I keep encountering an error.
When I do this statement:
select * from my.table
where startdate > '2008-01-01'
I get this error:
[ODBC][Ora]ORA-01861: literal does not match format string
When I format the select statement this way:
select * from my.table
where startdate > #2008-01-01#
i get this error:
[ODBC][Ora]ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected DATE
got NUMBER
Currently using CF8, and what I believe is Oracle 8i. I have
tried formatting this data in many other ways, but can't get it to
work. I know that when I query the database via access, it has no
problem returning results with the SQL date formatted like
#01/01/2008#

You can use the Oracle to_date() function to convert your
string to a date/time object:
select * from my.table
where startdate > to_date('2008-01-01', 'YYYY-MM-DD')
Or, since you are using an ODBC connection to Oracle, you can
try using the ColdFusion CreateODBCDate() function:
select * from my.table
where startdate > #CreateODBCDate("2008-01-01")#
Or, as already suggested, use cfqueryparam with the
appropriate CFSQLType, such as
CF_SQL_TIMESTAMP instead of CF_SQL_INTEGER like you are
attempting to do.
You can't use a "string" date value against a date/time
column in an Oracle query, as it won't perform an implicit type
conversion.
