Slide 'Display Time' Question

I am new to CP and am using version 4. In designing my first project, I've noticed i need to set a slide 'display time' in the Slide Properties option box. I have slides that I'd rather my users complete at their own pace then click on a NEXT button to proceed. Is there any place where I can opt out of putting in a slide display time?

Hi there
No need to worry with Slide timing. All you need to do is insert a button with a label of "Next". By default, button objects will pause the slide until they have been clicked by the end user. The slide will wait indefinitely until clicked.

How do you change Slide Display time

I have a slide which has a 30 sec display time. I want to change it to 6 secs. So I go to slide propteries and change display time to 6. I click OK but it make no difference. When I look at the properties again, the time is set back to 30 secs !
How do i change the slide display time?

Thank you. That has solved a number of my problems. The time line does not appear by default on a new installation. In fact it was quite tricky to get it visible but it is now.

Default Slide Display Time Won't Apply

Hiya -
Have a software demo deck that automatically recorded to 3s per slide, and I'd like to change the default display to 5s per slide. When I change this in Edit/Preferences/Global/Defaults, it does not apply throughout the project. Any ideas why?
Thanks,
Kimberly

Hello again
Well, for starters I'll need to know the following because my durn crystal ball is on the fritz and my remote viewing skills aren't up to par.
What version of Captivate are you using?
How did you record? (Demo, Assessment, Full Motion)?
Can you provide a screen shot (using the camera icon in the forums web interface) that shows one of the offending slides' Timeline?
Cheers... Rick

Change all slides' display time en masse

Greetings,
Cp 5.5
I've recoreded a training and assessment simulation where the slides' timing is set to 3 sec. Post-production: I want to change ALL of the slides' timing to 2 sec.
I realize I should have done this in the Global Prefs Default prior to recording. Going in to the Prefs and trying to change the Slide Duration post-production does not work.
Is there a way to do this without having to change each slide individually?
Much Thanks!

No, I do not know about such a work flow, and also think it would probably cause a lot of issues. If you have interactive objects, changing the slide duration will change the active/inactive parts, if you have Effects the duration will be changed relatively, if you have audio, it will be cut off etc...
Is there a particular reason why you want to do this? Perhaps to decrease a little bit the filesize? Most object default timeline will probably also be 3secs, to decrease the slide duration you'll first have to decrease the object timelines or to attach them to the end of the slide (CTRL-E). If there is no real staggering in objects this will be the fastest way (but still slide/slide:
look for an object of each style/type, and set its timeline to 2sec, than you can use the small curved arrow in the top right of the Timing accordion to apply to all objects of that style/type
then slide/slide select the slide timeline and use the shortcut SHIFT-CTRL-LEFT to decrease the length with 1sec

How to access "Display Time" / Slide Duration variable?

I'm using Adobe Captivate 4, and I'm trying to programmatically access the "Display Time" for the current slide (ie: the slide duration).
How do I do that? I've looked through all the system variables in the actions dialog but to no avail.

Hi Lilybiri,
I retried it this morning and it works for me. Here are some pointers:
I think it's a coincidence if CP hung when inserting the animation. It never did for me and I inserted it before and after. It's a possibility but I doubt.
Make sure that slide1Duration is written with a lowercase "s" and a capital "D". I noticed that you wrote it with a capital "S".
It works in TC and RollOver TC but it's not working with the click box captions. However, I could not get a standard variable like $$CaptivateVersion$$ to appear in the CB caption either.
I really think that your issue lies with the capital "S". Give it a try.
Finally, I'm not a good person to recommend books. I have learned AS2 and AS3 just from the Adobe help file. I never read a book or tutorial beside the help. Also, my background being a s/w developer, catching up with AS3 was not that much of an issue since I understand all the OO (Object Oriented) concepts. If you ever have questions about AS3, let me know and I'll try to help you out.

Editing Display Time for Slides

Hello! I'm fairly new to Adobe Captivate and am using version 5.5. I am having trouble changing the display time for some of my slides (Captivate won't let me adjust display time from 4 seconds to 2 seconds), but I can adjust other slides with similar animations with no problems. Does anyone know what could be causing this issue? Thank you!

Hi There,
Can you check your time if you have any image or any object set to rest of the slide, then you need to first change it back to 2 seconds and then change the slide display from 4 to 2 seconds.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Quicktime doesnt display time in slider

As of two days ago any file played in Quicktime opens with a slider that has the moving dot but doesnt display time as it used to (time passed on one end and time left on the other)
I cant find anything in the settings and it looks like i cant uninstall to try installing it again.
This is being a big problem because im in the middle of working on a movie project and i really need to see how long different clips are and at which times are certain events.
I would appreciate any help.
Quicktime 10.3, Mac OS X 10.9.4

QuickTime Player and its browser plug-in are not supported on a Windows 64 bit OS and this is one of the known "bugs".

How to set slide properties 'display time' unlimited?

Hi there,
I'm working on a PPT based captivate project.
I have a slide with Yes / No button.
I want to program the slide in such a way that, if user clicks 'Yes' control will jump to X slide.
if user clicks 'No' control will jump to Y slide.
My question is i want the slide should be displayed till an either Yes or No is clicked.
But by default Slide Properties is set to 5 sec. Moreover i have read in the HELP section that i can be set to max 3600 sec which i dont want.
I want the slide to be displayed till eithere yes or no is chosen. Please help.
Thanks
Deewanand

Hello,
You had already very accurate suggestions. Want to add this: if your PPT-slides do have already animations, timings, be sure to set the pausing point of your buttons to be after all those animations have played! If they are only static slides, do not bother about my remark.
Another addition: do you want those buttons on all your slides? If yes: you will have to copy and paste them to every slide, you cannot set a button to be displayed for the rest of the project. And to set your Jump to slides actions, it works a lot easier if you label the slides..

Menu Bar Time Machine icon displays a Question mark - Problem and Fix

My MacBook over the weekend upon awakening from sleep showed that the Menu Bar Time Machine icon displays a Question mark. The external drive showed as mounted in the finder but repeated tries to Back up Now ended in Latest Backup Failed. Hmmm. Never saw that before. Did a restart and ran Disk Utility Verify Disk on the start up disk and it came out OK. So I then ran Disk Utility on the external FW backup drive and as soon as it reported that the FW disk was fine, Time Machine started up on it's own and did a back up and all is back to normal after leaving the TM drive attached the remainder of the weekend. All backups are back to working fine with no repeat of the problem.

If for some reason the computer has trouble communicating with the drive it will report a failure when TM tries to back up, and will display that question mark. It's good you were able to fix it and get TM running again.

Slide Timing / Advancing Question

Hi All,
I'm relatively new to Captivate (using version 6) and I've been looking all over to find an answer to this question. Basically, I am creating an interactive user guide, and I have certain slides with clickable buttons that display text captions when clicked. I am worried that the timing requirement for each slide is going to make my guide not work the way it should. For example, the person viewing the guide should be able to stay on one slide AND click on the buttons to display the text at his/her own pace. However, once time runs out on the slide, if all of the buttons haven't been clicked, then all of the captions haven't been displayed, and the user then has to replay the slide.
My question is...is there any way to allow the user to spend as much time as they need on a slide, clicking different buttons to display text captions and ONLY have the slide advance when they click the "Next" button that I have created?
Hope I'm making sense here. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Display times for "action objects"

I work on a MacBook Pro, MaxOSX 10.7.5, Captivate 6.
I need to hide a button that we have made as part of a "overlay" GUI - a form of CSS. We created a master project and coded it to be downloaded to all our other projects as a overall GUI.
But in some projects I'd like to hide a single button - not to be able to press. Not through the whole project but after let's say three to five slides. I tried using a simple smartshape but the hidden area can still be clicked. Using clickboxes or button allow me to over ride the "CSS-button" but they have a major flaw: they only last the rest of the slide and I'd like to have them throughout the entire project.
Copy-paste is NOT an option in this case - the project lenghts are vast ...
Is there a clickbox, button, other object or advanced action that could make an "action object" to be displayed throughout the entire project?
Or is there a widget och well trimmed programmer out there that could solve this?
Very grateful for all good tips and answers!
/Cheers!

Hi,
Thank you for the welcoming seems like a good forum
to hang out in and learn new things!
I guess I wasn't as clear as I should when describing
my issue.
In our work we have made a "Master Project" to function
as a sort of CSS (Cascade Style Sheet) - just like you did in
former web design.
The Master Project functions roughly as a Master Slide
but it has some benefits that a Master Slide isn't capable of.
We use the Master Project to export our interface to
all the other projects within the e-learning project.
So instead of having to make changes in the Master Slide
in every project we have a better control of GUI
changes affecting the overall e-learning project.
Your links have given us a great tool to work with!
We have completely missed the possibility to convert
a smartshape to a button and with that making it
posible to be displayed throughout the project.
Many thanks for those tips!
All the best and a happy week-end!

Hello and welcome to the forum, But I don't understand your question very
well. Perhaps it is only a matter of terminology. What do you mean by 'Master
Project'? Is that a template, in which you have a custom theme, perhaps some
advanced actions, variables, and of course master slides? You need interactive
objects on all or a lot of slides, correct? I have been blogging a lot about
the shape buttons, only interactive objects that allow that. Even did a
webinar about them for Adobe. Here are some

<http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2012/09/training-lilybiris-favourite-shapes-
to-trigger-advanced-actions.html> If you want control over the visibility of
such a shape button, do not put them on a master slide, but time them for the
rest of the project, starting with the slide where they should appear for the
first time. Reason is that objects on master slides do not have an ID, which
means that they cannot be hidden or disabled using a (advanced) action.

Abap-hr real time questions

hi friends
kindly send me ABAP-HR REAL TIME QUESTION to my mail [email protected]
Thanks&Regards

Hi
Logical database
A logical database is a special ABAP/4 program which combines the contents of certain database tables. Using logical databases facilitates the process of reading database tables.
HR Logical Database is PNP
Main Functions of the logical database PNP:
Standard Selection screen
Data Retrieval
Authorization check
To use logical database PNP in your program, specify in your program attributes.
Standard Selection Screen
Date selection
Date selection delimits the time period for which data is evaluated. GET PERNR retrieves all records of the relevant infotypes from the database. When you enter a date selection period, the PROVIDE loop retrieves the infotype records whose validity period overlaps with at least one day of this period.
Person selection
Person selection is the 'true' selection of choosing a group of employees for whom the report is to run.
Sorting Data
· The standard sort sequence lists personnel numbers in ascending order.
· SORT function allows you to sort the report data otherwise. All the sorting fields are from infotype 0001.
Report Class
· You can suppress input fields which are not used on the selection screen by assigning a report class to your program.
· If SAP standard delivered report classes do not satisfy your requirements, you can create your own report class through the IMG.
Data Retrieval from LDB
1. Create data structures for infotypes.
    INFOTYPES: 0001, "ORG ASSIGNMENT
                        0002, "PERSONAL DATA
                        0008. "BASIC PAY
2. Fill data structures with the infotype records.
    Start-of-selection.
         GET PERNR.
    End-0f-selection.
    Read Master Data
Infotype structures (after GET PERNR) are internal tables loaded with data.
The infotype records (selected within the period) are processed sequentially by the PROVIDE - ENDPROVIDE loop.
          GET PERNR.
             PROVIDE * FROM Pnnnn BETWEEN PN/BEGDA AND PN/ENDDA
                    If Pnnnn-XXXX = ' '. write:/ Pnnnn-XXXX. endif.
             ENDPROVIDE.
Period-Related Data
All infotype records are time stamped.
IT0006 (Address infotype)
01/01/1990   12/31/9999 present
          Which record to be read depends on the date selection period specified on the
          selection screen. PN/BEGDA PN/ENDDA.
Current Data
IT0006 Address - 01/01/1990 12/31/9999   present
RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST retrieves the record which is valid in the data selection period.
For example, pn/begda = '19990931'    pn/endda = '99991231'
IT0006 subtype 1 is resident address
RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST P0006 1 PN/BEGDA PN/ENDDA.
Process Infotypes
RMAC Modules - RMAC module as referred to Macro, is a special construct of ABAP/4 codes. Normally, the program code of these modules is stored in table 'TRMAC'. The table key combines the program code under a given name. It can also be defined in programs.The RMAC defined in the TRMAC can be used in all Reports. When an RMAC is changed, the report has to be regenerated manually to reflect the change.
Reading Infotypes - by using RMAC (macro) RP-READ-INFOTYPE
          REPORT ZHR00001.
          INFOTYPE: 0002.
          PARAMETERS: PERNR LIKE P0002-PERNR.
          RP-READ-INFOTYPE PERNR 0002 P0002 .
          PROVIDE * FROM P0002
              if ... then ...endif.
          ENDPROVIDE.
Changing Infotypes - by using RMAC (macro) RP-READ-INFOTYPE.
· Three steps are involved in changing infotypes:
1. Select the infotype records to be changed;
2. Make the required changes and store the records in an alternative table;
3. Save this table to the database;
The RP-UPDATE macro updates the database. The parameters of this macro are the OLD internal table containing the unchanged records and the NEW internal table containing the changed records. You cannot create or delete data. Only modification is possible.
INFOTYPES: Pnnnn NAME OLD,
Pnnnn NAME NEW.
GET PERNR.
    PROVIDE * FROM OLD
           WHERE .... = ... "Change old record
           *Save old record in alternate table
           NEW = OLD.
    ENDPROVIDE.
    RP-UPDATE OLD NEW. "Update changed record
Infotype with repeat structures
· How to identify repeat structures.
a. On infotype entry screen, data is entered in table form.
    IT0005, IT0008, IT0041, etc.
b. In the infotype structure, fields are grouped by the same name followed by sequence number.
    P0005-UARnn P0005-UANnn P0005-UBEnn
    P0005-UENnn P0005-UABnn
Repeat Structures
· Data is entered on the infotype screen in table format but stored on the database in a linear
structure.
· Each row of the table is stored in the same record on the database.
· When evaluating a repeat structure, you must define the starting point, the increment and the
work area which contains the complete field group definition.
Repeat Structures Evaluation (I)
· To evaluate the repeat structures
   a. Define work area.
       The work area is a field string. Its structure is identical to that of the field group.
   b. Use a DO LOOP to divide the repeat structure into segments and make it available for
       processing in the work area, one field group (block) at a time.
Repeat Structures Evaluation(II)
Define work area
DATA: BEGIN OF VACATION,
              UAR LIKE P0005-UAR01, "Leave type
              UAN LIKE P0005-UAN01, "Leave entitlement
              UBE LIKE P0005-UBE01, "Start date

              UAB LIKE P0005-UAB01, "Leave accounted
           END OF VACATION.

     RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST P0005 SPACE PN/BEGDA PN/ENDDA.
     DO 6 TIMES VARYING VACATION
             FROM P0005-UAR01 "Starting point

             If p0005-xyz then ... endif.
      ENDDO.
Processing 'Time Data'.
· Dependence of time data on validity period
· Importing time data
· Processing time data using internal tables
Time Data and Validity Period
· Time data always applies to a specific validity period.
· The validity periods of different types of time data are not always the same as the date selection period specified in the selection screen.
Date selection period |----
|
Leave |----
|
· PROVIDE in this case is therefore not used for time infotypes.
Importing Time Data
· GET PERNR reads all time infotypes from the lowest to highest system data, not only those within the date selection period.
· To prevent memory overload, add MODE N to the infotype declaration. This prevents the logical database from importing all data into infotype tables at GET PERNR.
· Use macro RP-READ-ALL-TIME-ITY to fill infotype table.
INFOTYPES: 2001 MODE N.
GET PERNR.
    RP-READ-ALL-TIME-ITY PN/BEGDA PN/ENDDA.
    LOOP AT P0021.
         If P0021-XYZ = ' '. A=B. Endif.
    ENDLOOP.
Processing Time Data
· Once data is imported into infotype tables, you can use an internal table to process the interested data.
DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,
              BUKRS LIKE P0001-BUKRS, "COMPANY
              WERKS LIKE P0001-WERKS, "PERSONNEL AREA

      ITAB-AWART = P2001-AWART. ITAB-ASWTG = P2001-ASWTG.
      COLLECT ITAB. (OR: APPEND ITAB.)
ENDLOOP.
Database Tables in HR
· Personnel Administration (PA) - master and time data infotype tables (transparent tables).
   PAnnnn: e.g. PA0001 for infotype 0001
· Personnel Development (PD) - Org Unit, Job, Position, etc. (transparent tables).
   HRPnnnn: e.g. HRP1000 for infotype 1000
· Time/Travel expense/Payroll/Applicant Tracking data/HR work areas/Documents (cluster
   PCLn: e.g. PCL2 for time/payroll results.
Cluster Table
· Cluster tables combine the data from several tables with identical (or almost identical) keys
into one physical record on the database.
. Data is written to a database in compressed form.
· Retrieval of data is very fast if the primary key is known.
· Cluster tables are defined in the data dictionary as transparent tables.
· External programs can NOT interpret the data in a cluster table.
· Special language elements EXPORT TO DATABASE, IMPORT TO DATABASE and DELETE
FROM DATABASE are used to process data in the cluster tables.
PCL1 - Database for HR work area;
PCL2 - Accounting Results (time, travel expense and payroll);
PCL3 - Applicant tracking data;
PCL4 - Documents, Payroll year-end Tax data
Database Tables PCLn
· PCLn database tables are divided into subareas known as data clusters.
· Data Clusters are identified by a two-character code. e.g RU for US payroll result, B2 for
time evaluation result...
· Each HR subarea has its own cluster.
· Each subarea has its own key.
Database Table PCL1
· The database table PCL1 contains the following data areas:
B1 time events/PDC
G1 group incentive wages
L1 individual incentive wages
PC personal calendar
TE travel expenses/payroll results
TS travel expenses/master data
TX infotype texts
ZI PDC interface -> cost account
Database Table PCL2
· The database table PCL2 contains the following data areas:
B2 time accounting results
CD cluster directory of the CD manager
PS generated schemas
PT texts for generated schemas
RX payroll accounting results/international
Rn payroll accounting results/country-specific ( n = HR country indicator )
ZL personal work schedule
Database Table PCL3
· The database table PCL3 contains the following data areas:
AP action log / time schedule
TY texts for applicant data infotypes
Data Management of PCLn
· The ABAP commands IMPORT and EXPORT are used for management of read/write to
database tables PCLn.
· A unique key has to be used when reading data from or writing data to the PCLn.
Field Name KEY Length Text
MANDT X 3 Client
RELID X 2 Relation ID (RU,B2..)
SRTFD X 40 Work Area Key
SRTF2 X 4 Sort key for dup. key
Cluster Definition
· The data definition of a work area for PCLn is specified in separate programs which comply
   with fixed naming conventions.
· They are defined as INCLUDE programs (RPCnxxy0). The following naming convention applies:
   n = 1 or 2 (PCL1 or PCL2)
   xx = Relation ID (e.g. RX)
   y = 0 for international clusters or country indicator (T500L) for different country cluster
Exporting Data (I)
· The EXPORT command causes one or more 'xy' KEY data objects to be written to cluster xy.
· The cluster definition is integrated with the INCLUDE statement.
REPORT ZHREXPRT.
TABLES: PCLn.
INCLUDE: RPCnxxy0. "Cluster definition
Fill cluster KEY
xy-key-field = .
Fill data object
Export record
EXPORT TABLE1 TO DATABASE PCLn(xy) ID xy-KEY.
   IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
       WRITE: / 'Update successful'.
   ENDIF.
Exporting Data (II)
. Export data using macro RP-EXP-Cn-xy.
· When data records are exported using macro, they are not written to the database but to a
main memory buffer.
· To save data, use the PREPARE_UPDATE routine with the USING parameter 'V'.
REPORT ZHREXPRT.
*Buffer definition
INCLUDE RPPPXD00. INCLUDE RPPPXM00. "Buffer management
DATA: BEGIN OF COMMON PART 'BUFFER'.
INCLUDE RPPPXD10.
DATA: END OF COMMON PART 'BUFFER'.
RP-EXP-Cn-xy.
IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
    PERFORM PREPARE_UPDATE USING 'V'..
ENDIF.
Importing Data (I)
· The IMPORT command causes data objects with the specified key values to be read from
   PCLn.
· If the import is successful, SY-SUBRC is 0; if not, it is 4.
REPORT RPIMPORT.
TABLES: PCLn.
INCLUDE RPCnxxy0. "Cluster definition
Fill cluster Key
Import record
IMPORT TABLE1 FROM DATABASE PCLn(xy) ID xy-KEY.
   IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
Display data object
   ENDIF.
Importing data (II)
· Import data using macro RP-IMP-Cn-xy.
· Check return code SY-SUBRC. If 0, it is successful. If 4, error.
· Need include buffer management routines RPPPXM00
REPORT RPIMPORT.
*Buffer definition
INCLUDE RPPPXD00.
DATA: BEGIN OF COMMON PART 'BUFFER'.
INCLUDE RPPPXD10.
DATA: END OF COMMON PART 'BUFFER'.
*import data to buffer
RP-IMP-Cn-xy.
*Buffer management routines
INCLUDE RPPPXM00.
Cluster Authorization
· Simple EXPORT/IMPORT statement does not check for cluster authorization.
· Use EXPORT/IMPORT via buffer, the buffer management routines check for cluster
authorization.
Payroll Results (I)
· Payroll results are stored in cluster Rn of PCL2 as field string and internal tables.
n - country identifier.
· Standard reports read the results from cluster Rn. Report RPCLSTRn lists all payroll results;
report RPCEDTn0 lists the results on a payroll form.
Payroll Results (II)
· The cluster definition of payroll results is stored in two INLCUDE reports:
include: rpc2rx09. "Definition Cluster Ru (I)
include: rpc2ruu0. "Definition Cluster Ru (II)
The first INCLUDE defines the country-independent part; The second INCLUDE defines the country-specific part (US).
· The cluster key is stored in the field string RX-KEY.
Payroll Results (III)
· All the field string and internal tables stored in PCL2 are defined in the ABAP/4 dictionary. This
allows you to use the same structures in different definitions and nonetheless maintain data

Payroll Cluster Directory
· To read payroll results, you need two keys: pernr and seqno
. You can get SEQNO by importing the cluster directory (CD) first.

Function Module (I)
CD_EVALUATION_PERIODS
· After importing the payroll directory, which record to read is up to the programmer.
· Each payroll result has a status.
'P' - previous result
'A' - current (actual) result
'O' - old result
· Function module CD_EVALUATION_PERIODS will restore the payroll result status for a period
   when that payroll is initially run. It also will select all the relevant periods to be evaluated.

Authorization Check
   Authorization for Persons
· In the authorization check for persons, the system determines whether the user has the
   authorizations required for the organizational features of the employees selected with
   GET PERNR.
· Employees for which the user has no authorization are skipped and appear in a list at the end
   of the report.
· Authorization object: 'HR: Master data'
Authorization for Data
· In the authorization check for data, the system determines whether the user is authorized to
read the infotypes specified in the report.
· If the authorization for a particular infotype is missing, the evaluation is terminated and an error
message is displayed.
Deactivating the Authorization Check
· In certain reports, it may be useful to deactivate the authorization check in order to improve
performance. (e.g. when running payroll)
· You can store this information in the object 'HR: Reporting'.

I am trying to change the display time in Captivate 5...

When I try to shorten the length of a slide either in properties or by clicking the end and dragging it, like in Captivate 4, it keeps going back to the original time. Normally I record a demonstration and when I am done adding the effects and the voice I have to shorten or lengthen a slide, but I am unable to do this in CP5. Please help.

Hello,
If the slide is longer than 3 sec you can change the 'Display time' in the Properties panel, General section too. But here you cannot get below 3 sec. Dragging in the timeline allows me to go below 3 sec, but you have first to shorten the timeline of the objects before you can change the duration of the slide. To be sure I just tried again and was able to get to a minimum time of 0.1 sec with that workflow. In the screenshot it is 0.3 sec. If you have FMR, video or audio however the duration of that object will be responsable for the duration of the slide.
Hope it works for you too, cannot explain why it is not possible with the Properties panel, which will show correctly the duration after you changed it with the Timeline.

Arabic characters are displaying as question marks in forms 10g

We have migrated our application from forms 6i to forms 10g and now in forms 10g the arabic characters are displaying as question marks while it displays correctly in the old application using forms 6i. I have already set the character set to AR8MSWIN1256 in the registry, but it didn't help. Somebody please help.

@ Sarah, Al-Salamu Alikum We Rahmatu Allah we Barakatu,
Sarah Habibty, why new installation ? In order to select a new suitable character set !!!
Then creating a new instance from the db is a better alternative since it saves time,effort and another back up of his current db is exist safely if needed for any purposes in the future.
@Amer,honestly speaking...
Modifing ur NLS_LANG to > AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256
Works for me in both Arabic and English data in 2 applications.This works in my pc.But it didn't works at my boss pc this can happened don't have any reason for that.!!!!
i spent lot's of time trying to search but what i had got is that solution i suggested by a friend of mine.
Now please could you advise me, is it better to create a new instance of database as Amatu Allah has suggested or is it better to change the character set through sql as some others have suggested? Again i suggest to select the short cut way ; to reset the character set through sql after taking a back up from ur data that is currently exist.
then retest again doing the select and test ur data input and retrieval.
SQL> select * from v$nls_parameters
2 where parameter in ('NLS_CHARACTERSET','NLS_LANGUAGE');watching the output if it works that's fine saving ur time & effort .
if not working with the correct NLS_CHARACTERSET then use my previous solution.
Hope this helps...

Amatu Allah

4) Can you make the CTS entries? How do you do it?
5) What are change header / detail tables? Have
you used them? ( i dont know what exactly is this?
and from which topic?)
6) What is currency factoring technique?
7) Is it possible to run host command from SAP
environment? How do you run?
8) What is the difference in using COMMIT WORK
within a called transaction & within a called dialog
module in an existing module?
9) What is the difference between the report
status & screen status?
10) what is the main diff between LSMW & session?
11) How to introduce authorization objects in
reports? How can you give authorization?
12) Diff between BAPI & RFC?
13) How field properties are set with * for
password?
14) How to create our own parameter ID in SE11?
15) What is a Ztable? How to create it?
(i think it is user defined table
and using Domain, Data Element & Table fields we
can create, if so, why it is to be called as only
'z' table, when we can careat with 'y')
<b>SOME REAL TIME QUESTIONS:</b>
1) How many SAP instances are there in your
organization?
2) What SAP version is in use for each instance?
3)What is the Hot package level for each instance?
4)What OS is employed per instance?
5)From where you get the request no?
Any one Answer this question it will be useful for all.
Thanks in advance.

Here are answers to some of your questions. Hopefully this will help you.
1) Difference between Interactive & Drill down
repot? What specific statements do you use, when
writing a drill down report?
(is both are same or any difference is there)
--> It's the same. You have events AT PF-STATUS, AT LINE-SELECTION, AT USER-COMMAND which are used to code for Interactive reports. Check this link for more details
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/d3/2e974d35c511d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
2) What transaction do you use for Data Analysis?
--> What do you exactly mean by data analysis?
3) When a program is created and need to be
transported to Production, does selection texts
always go with it? if not how do you make sure?
--> Yes, it goes with it.
5) What are change header / detail tables? Have
you used them? ( i dont know what exactly is this?
and from which topic?)
--> All changes in SAP data are logged in Change Header and Item table. CDHDR and CDPOS are change header and item tables respectively.
8) What is the difference in using COMMIT WORK
within a called transaction & within a called dialog
module in an existing module?
--> Commit work commits all database changes which occurs before commit statement.
10) what is the main diff between LSMW & session?
--> LSMW and session are 2 different ways to update data in SAP database.

Session Method
LSMW
11) How to introduce authorization objects in
reports? How can you give authorization?
Need to add code for the same using Authority check command. Check this thread
ABAP Development
13) How field properties are set with * for
password?
--> You can modify field properties which displaying data. In this way you can set data to encrypt with 'X'.
14) How to create our own parameter ID in SE11?
-> Check out this thread
ABAP Development
15) What is a Ztable? How to create it?
(i think it is user defined table
and using Domain, Data Element & Table fields we
can create, if so, why it is to be called as only
'z' table, when we can careat with 'y')
--> using transaction code SE11. All custom objects in SAP can start either with Y or with Z.
