SMARTFORMS field in STRING format

Hi!
Is there limitations when using data type STRING in connection with SMARTFORMS?
I'm trying to send a text field (581 digit long) into an XML file.
It is declarated: AVVTEXT (text field, can be 0-2004 digit) data type STRING.
The field is cut of at digit 256-259.
Regards Christina

u can pass string but the limitation in SAP is 255....So, if it is more than 255 then u need to split the string into 2 lines and so..on...u need to split at every 355 characters.

Non-numeric String formatting

Ok, I understand about numeric string formating (NumberFormat). But what I need help with is string formatting.
For example, I'm working on an app with fixed-length records. Let's take a name field. I need the string "John Doe" formatted to a 40-character field, right-justified. Can someone point me to a class or a URL with information on this.
Sorry for asking such an elementary question.

http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/lang.html
There is a class called StringUtils.
You only have to write:
String rightJustified = StringUtils.rightPad("John Doe", 40);
If you don't find something in the JDK look at Jakarta. They have a lot of useful stuff.

How to convert BLOB data into string format.

Hi,
I have problem while converting blob data into string format.
for example,
Select dbms_lob.substr(c.shape.Get_wkb(),4000,1) from geotable c
will get me the first 4000 byte of BLOB .
When i using SQL as i did above,the max length is 4000, but i can get 32K using plsql as below:
declare
my_var CLOB;
BEGIN
for x in (Select X from T)
loop
my_var:=dbms_lob.substr(x.X,32767,1)
end loop
return my_var;
I comfortably convert 32k BLOB field to string.
My problem is how to convert blob to varchar having size more than 32K.
Please help me to resolve this,
Thanx in advance for the support,
Nilesh

Nilesh,
. . . .The result of get_wkb() will not be human readable (all values are encoded into some binary format).
SELECT utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(tbl.geometry.get_wkt()) from FeatureTable tbl;
-- resulting string:
☺AW(⌂özßHAA
Å\(÷. . . .You may also want to have a look at { dbms_lob | http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_lob.htm#i1015792 } "The DBMS_LOB package provides subprograms to operate on BLOBs, CLOBs, NCLOBs, BFILEs, and temporary LOBs."

Alv field with string

hi,
I HAVE A TABLE IN WHICH ONE FIELD SAY F1 IS OF TYPE STRING
I HAVE CREATED AN ALV REPORT IN WHICH THIS FIELD F1 IS editable
when i press save button it ads the new row in the database
the Problem lies here is that the output length is viewed only to lenght of 15 infact outlen of fieldcatalog is set to 30
and i could only ad 30 character at max infact of being a type string
how can i add data in the table through alv with lenght more than 256 characters

(1) How do you build the transparent table with type string field. This type is not allowed in transparent table.
Do you mean CHAR (til 255) or LCHR type (<a href="http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCDWBDIC/BCDWBDIC.pdf">BC - ABAP Dictionary</a>)
STRING: Character string with variable length This type can only be used in types (data
elements, structures, table types) and domains. It cannot be used in database tables. In ABAP, this type is implemented as a reference to a storage area of variable size.
CHAR: Character string. Fields of type CHAR may have a maximum length of only 255 in tables. If longer character fields are to be used in tables, you must choose data type LCHR. There are no restrictions on the length of such fields in structures.
LCHR: Character string of any length, but with a minimum of 256 characters. Fields of this type must be located at the end of transparent tables and must be preceded by a length field of type INT2. If there is an INSERT or UPDATE in ABAP programs, this length field must be filled with the length actually required. A fields of this type cannot be used in the WHERE condition of a SELECT statement.
(2) Use of long text (in fact that's your need ?) in ALV
1. Declare the internal and the external length of the field to the ALV Grid Control.
For fields with DDIC reference, the ALV Grid Control automatically uses the internal and the external length.
For fields without DDIC reference, you must specify the internal length using field INTLEN and the external length using field DD_OUTLEN of the field catalog (see Parameters for Fields Without DDIC Reference).
2. Specify the conversion exit using field EDIT_MASK of the field catalog (see Formatting Column Contents).
3. Pass the field catalog with method
If you really need long text, you may declare an output length of say 80 in the ALV grid, and provide an icon to edit a very-long text (via a popup screen with a container and a use of class cl_gui_textedit for example)

Need to Download Smartform Data from OTF format to CSV file

Hi,
I need to download smartform data from OTF format to CSV file. Is there any Function module to download Smartform data from
OTF format to CSV file.
Regards,
Selvapriya S.

Not that I know of. There is a lot of data in the OTF file besides the field values you are printing (formats, headers. positions, fonts, etc).
You might be able to use the CONVERT_OTF function module and take the default format of 'ASCII'. Once it is converted to an ASCII data format, you might be able to write some ABAP code to strip off the extraneous data and parse the fields you need.

Need to convert the binary data in blob field to readable format

Hi,
We need to convert the Binary data in the BLOB field to readable format and need to display it in Oracle Apps Environment,does anybody come across the similar requirement.
please advise, thanks in advance.
Regards,
Babu.

You could use standard Attachments functionality here ... if the blob is not in FND_LOBS, insert into FND_LOBS, fnd_attached_documents etc to enable viewing via "Attachments" to the entity the blob is related to.

How to check the current time with a Stored time in string format

Hi All
I would like to compare the system time with an existing time values which is allready there in String format..
i mean i would like to check if the SysTime is inbetween 6:30 and 14:00
I accomplished this in Oracle ..
Select 'Y' from dual where to_date(to_char(sysdate,'HH24:MI '),'HH24:MI') between to_date('06:30','HH24:MI') and to_date('14:00','HH24:MI')
But instead of checking the DB each and every time , the perfomance would be better if we can do this in our java code..
Could some one provide me with a code to accomplish the above scenario..
Thanks in advance..,.,

import java.util.Calendar;
Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance(); // gets the current date and time to millisec
Calendar earlyTime = Calendar.getInstance().set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 6).set(Calendar.MINUTE, 30);
Calendar lateTime = Calendar.getInstance().set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 8).set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
if (rightNow.compareTo(earlyTime)> 0 && rightNow.compareTo(lateTime) < 0){
// do something
}Try this.

Convert a date in String format to a Date

Hi,
How can I convert a date in String format to a Date object?
I have tried:
import java.text.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.sql.*;
public class casa {
public static Connection con = null;
public static Statement s = null;
public static String sql = null;
public static String mydate = "01.01.2001";
/** Creates a new instance of casa */
public casa() {
public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException{
try {
DateFormat shortFormat = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT);
Date date = shortFormat.parse(mydate);
//Open Database
con = getConnection();
s = con.createStatement();
sql = "select date1 from table1 where date1 <= '"+date+"'";
ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(sql);
while(rs.next()){
String aba = rs.getString("datum");
System.out.println("New Datum = "+aba);
} catch (Exception ex ) {
ex.printStackTrace();
closeConnection(s, con);
//Connection
private static Connection getConnection() {
Connection con = null;
String user ="aouzi";
String passe ="aouzi";
String url = "jdbc:db2:EjbTest";
try {
//Datenbanktreiber laden
Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver");
//Verbindung herstellen
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,passe);
}catch(ClassNotFoundException e){
} catch(SQLException e){}
return con;
//close Connection
private static void closeConnection(Statement s, Connection con) {
try {
s.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {}
try {
con.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {}
I'm getting the following errors:
COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.DB2Exception: [IBM][CLI Driver][DB2/NT] SQL0180N
The syntax of the representation of a date/time of day value as character sequence is false. .SQLSTATE=22007

I'm pretty sure it won't understand what date.toString() returns. If you know what format the database understands, you do it like this:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy"); // e.g. 18-Apr-02
String datestring = sdf.parse(date);
and use that instead of date in your sql string. Some databases understands it if you do
"to_date('18-Apr-02')"
so you could include that in your sql string as well..
You could also try to make it a java.sql.Date and hope your jdbc driver knows how to convert it to a string that the database understands if you don't know the format:
con = getConnection();
PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement("select date1 from table1 where date1 <= ?");
ps.setDate(new java.sql.Date(date.getTime()));
ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(sql);

All fields with !Format event blank when printing

A client asked for assistance creating a new shipping label template with Adobe Output Designer 5.5, a program I've not used before. I had no problem creating the layout, and slapping the necessary fields on there (they had a few other templates I was able to use as examples). When I use Test Presentment from within Output Designer, the results look great - all the data fields and barcodes show up fine. When actually printing a label from Prophet 21, all the fields with !Format events defined are completely missing. I copied many of these !Formats from existing templates and adjusted them slightly to match the new label format, so I'm not sure why all those fields in the new template end up blank. I haven't made any changes to the default template preamble, which I've included below. What simple detail am I overlooking that's needed to make this work? Like I said, this is not a program I have much familiarity with, and a couple hours of experimenting and searching the web have proved fruitless.

Problem in java.lang.String.format()

Dear Experts,
I tried to display a double value with leading spaces with the following statements:

System.out.println( String.format("%17.2f", val));They worked in void main(), but didn't in a method of a class. The following error message was found while compiling:

Not sure if this has got anything to do with it, but
the format() method was added to String in Java 5.0.
Maybe you are using an older version in that second
case?You're right. It works when I've changed it from 1.4 (default) to 1.5. Thank you very much.

Convert HH:mm:ss String format.

Hi,
I have a formula in webI to display Milliseconds to HH:mm:ss and is in String format.
Is there a way to convert to date or number format?.
Also, how to calculate average of Max and Min time?.
Thanks,
Jothi

Hi Jyothi,
To take a average time do following-
1) Convert Min Time and Max Time into Seconds.
MaxSec=ToNumber(Substr([MaxTime];1;2))*60*60+ToNumber(Substr([MaxTime];4;2))*60+ToNumber(Substr([MaxTime];7;2))
MinSec=ToNumber(Substr([MinTime];1;2))*60*60+ToNumber(Substr([MinTime];4;2))*60+ToNumber(Substr([MinTime];7;2))
2) calculate approximate Avg seconds-
AvgSec=([MaxSec]+[MinSec])/2
3) Convert AvgSec in to hh:mm:ss.
AvgTime=Floor([AvgSec]/3600 )+":"+Floor(Mod([AvgSec];3600)/60)+":"+Mod(Mod([AvgSec];3600);60)
Hope this help.
Thanks,
Anuj
