Smartforms text node in release 710

Prior to today, I have worked with SmartForms in ECC 5.0 but now I am in ECC 6.0. I see a major difference in SmartForms when it comes to text nodes. What is this all about? I can no longer drag fiields to the text node. Now the text node opens with an, embeded, instance of MS Word. Is this normal? Have SmartStyles gone away? I am royally confused.
Regards,
Aaron

The only pencil icon I see says "Editor" when you hover over it and it is above the 'Check' icon. I used the 'Insert Field' icon, adding the '&'s, and it still doesn't display the result of that field. Any ideas?
I now managed to get the value to come through. I had to click the "editor" button and add the field in that editor. It didn't work if I added the field in the first editor (the node layout).
My problem with the character format still stands. Also, can you not drag and drop the fields anymore? Is there a way to go back to the old editor? This new editor takes entirely too long to load each time you go to a new text node.

In SMARTFORMS when openee a Text Node,   Giving a Short Dump

Hi
I am getting Short Dump in SMARTFORMS Transaction, when ever I opened a Text Node and made some changes in it.
With out opening a Text Node I can able to change and activate the SmartForm.
But if I open a Text Node I can able to make changes in the Text Node but later if i click on any other Node, it is giving a Short Dump.
But all other systems in my office are working fine.
I have tried the Utilities->Settings-> and changed the editor also.
I have also Installed the SAPGUI once again for this Issue. But still I am getting the same problem.
Can anyone Please help me on this Issue.
I am sending the error enalysis of the Short Dump.
Error analysis
    Short text of error message:
    Control Framework : Error processing control
    Long text of error message:
     Diagnosis
         An error occurred when the system tried to process the commands
         from the Automation Queue on the presentation server.
         There are several possible reasons for this:
         - The installation of the SAP GUI on the presentation server is
         faulty or obsolete.
         - There is an error in the application program
         - There is an error in the SAPGUI or an integrated control
     Procedure
         1. Make sure that you have imported the appropriate Support
         Package, the current kernel, and GUI patch for the release of your
         system
         2. Check whether the error occurs locally on one or a few PCs, or
         generally on all PCs. Note whether the error only occurs for some
         users, for example because of a specific Customizing setting.
         If it only occurs locally, this suggests an installation problem
         with the PC. Check the installation; if necessary, reinstall the
         software. In the dump, search for the SY-MSGLI field, since it may
         point to the cause of the error.
         3. Activate the Automation Trace (in accordance with SAP Note
         158985).
         4.Start the transaction and continue until the screen immediately
         before the dump.
         5. From the System -> Utilities menu, choose Autom. Queue,
         Synchronous Processing.
         The status bar of the GUI displays the text:
            "Automation synchron flush mode on"
         6. If you now proceed with the application, the short dump will
         display the ABAP call that caused the error; the Automation Trace
         will contain the error on the presentation server.
         7. If necessary, load the short dump and trace files on to
         sapservX, so that SAP can analyze them.
    Technical information about the message:
    Message class....... "CNDP"
    Number.............. 006
Thanks in Advance.

Hi
I think dump is because of SAP GUI. If you are ECC 6.0 then install SAP GUI 710 with patch level 2 or more and check

Hi,
In smartforms i created a text node and entered some text like following.
     Target Quantity               60000001     60000002
     Scheduled Quantity               60000003     60000004

      Delivery Schedule Details
the text which i entered as above in the text node is not displaying.It is in main area.

Hi
if u are using table or template inside the main window
then just mention the position of the text element
goto text element - output options- output structure tab----give line and column no.
Thanks

Carriage Return in Text Node of SmartForm

Hello SAPients.
I'm working with a Text node in a SmartForm. I'm using "Include Text" to call an existing text. The text loads fine except that it doesn't respects the CR's.
What can I do?

Hello SAPients!
I'm still having this problem, maybe I didn't explain the problem very well and that's why I didn't get an answer. I hope this information be more helpful:
I'm working in SAP 4.6C. I have a SmartForm with a Text Node that shows "unlimited" text. I created another transaction to maintain this text in a small text editor and save the text using FM SAVE_TEXT and retrieve it using FM READ_TEXT and it shows everything correct.
In the SmartForm I'm taking advantage of the option "Include text" in the Text type of the General Attributes of the text node. The system retrieves the text in a normal way, except that the text is shown without Carriage Return, that is, all the text is show in one single line. Do you know why?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Reading DOM document text nodes

I have created a DOM document from a text string, which seems fine. The structure is something like:
<BOOK>
    <BOOK_ID>1</BOOK_ID>
    <BOOK_NAME>Test Book 1</BOOK_NAME>
    <BOOK_DESC>This is a test book</BOOK_DESC>
</BOOK>When I try to traverse this structure using DOM, for each node (BOOK_ID, BOOK_NAME, BOOK_DESC), I get two nodes - one ElementNode, one TextNode, as I would expect.
However, when I call get value on the TextNodes, it simply returns "\n ", instead of returning the text between the tags.
Does any one know why?
Thanks a lot,
Jim

I have some thing similar probelm but failed to get this working. Which ever nodes I try, all I get is node value "null" and say's that the node type is ELEMENT_NODE, but that node is TEXT_NODE as per schema.
So I tried to validate the schema xml file which is external (even the xml file is located external), but failed to get this working too, now just stranded wihtout any clues what I have to do.
I am using DOM parser with j2sdk-1.4.1_05.
My xml file is:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>
<IRXML CorpMasterID="9999999">
<NewsRelease ReleaseID="215555" DLU="20020814 15:43:00" ArchiveStatus="Current">

The nodes <Title> and <Date> are text nodes, so any help is appreciated.

Smartforms - Text Modules

Hi,
I want why Text Modules will Use in Smartforms ,where they will use can u explain?
Thanks

Hi,
You use the text type Text M odule of the text node to refer to an existing text module in the system. This allows you to easily use texts from one text module in several forms. In addition, it is not necessary to load the entire form description to maintain these texts.

SmartForms - Text Module

Hello,
how can I include dynamically text modules in my text node. I tried like this:
->GLOBAL DEFINTIONS
Global data:
textmodule   type    string
Under Initialization:
i give manually the name of my text module   "foot"
textmodule = 'foot'.
->TEXTNODE
Field Name:   &TEXTBAUSTEIN&
When I want to activate I get the failure: Type specification "STRING" not allowed.
My aim is to set different textmodules for several cases.
Has anybody of the you an idea for me, please?!?!
With kind regards
gokselin

Dear Naimesh,
I thank you very much for the quick reply.
But I also get the same failure message: Type specification "CHAR70" not allowed.
And the name of the text module is less than 20 letters.
I would like to know what the reason for this failure is.
As I told you in the Initialization-Screen I set my variable "L_TEXTNAME = 'TB_FOOT' " to test it. After I have a positive test I will give the names of the text modules by the interface. That means, in my report I set up the name of the right text node for my smartform.
Maybe we both can try it again with a new solution.
With kind regards

Smartform- Text ID

Hi,
In SmartForms when I am creating a text node, there is something as Include Text.
Please let me know wht is include text n how to do it.
And how to create a new text id?
Regards.

hi,
Purpose of Include Text:
you can reuse the text any number of times in any smartforminstead of creating it again.
Mostly u can create signatures and logos which can be included as per reqirement.
to create a text goto SO10.
Give name of text and give text ID as ST(Standard Text).
select the language and press on create.
then select goto _> change editor.
type what all the text u need .
then goto ur smartform and select include text so that the text u created appears in the output .
hope it is useful.

Text node in the Charac Hierarchy sums up

Hi,
I am working on IP.
I had created an hierarchy for a specific consumption data with the top node as a text node, which should appear only once in the report.
But when i use the Input ready query, the system shows multiple rows of the text node for every new characteristic values in the nodes below this node.
How do i avoid the text node being displayed multiple times?
Thanks in advance,
regards,
Sriram

Hi Jacky,
Yes i have text nodes for more than one set of characteristics.
Level 1A
    Level 2
        Char1 A
        Char1 B
Level 1B
        Char1 C
        Char1 D
        Char1 E
These characteristic also have an attribute characteristic. Hence, in the Input ready query it displays as follows;
Level 1A
    Level 2          Char2 A
    Level 2          Char2 B
        Char1 A    Char2 A
        Char1 B    Char2 B
Is there a way to avoid the "Char2" in the text nodes.
Thank in advance for the solution,
regards,
Sriram

Text node not showing first line?

I'm trying to figure out some unexpected behavior with the layout of Text. If I create an example program based on the API documentation
http://java.sun.com/javafx/1.2/docs/api/javafx.scene.text/javafx.scene.text.Text.html
Like so:
Stage
    title: "Application title"
    width: 500
    height: 500
    scene: Scene
        content: [ Text {font: Font { size: 20 } content: "First row\nSecond row" } ]
}The resulting screen only shows "Second row", the first line is moved out of the screen above. I need to set y to 20 to show the first line.
Is that normal?

Right, Text nodes have an textOrigin, which is default set to the base line. That means that y=0 is just below the letters.
But the behavior is unexpected when simply adding a Text node and nothing is visible.

Account dimension hierarchy text nodes ACCTYPE property

Hello,
We have master data being populated into BPC from BW. So for the Account dimension in BPC, we use the 0GL_ACCOUNT infoobject in BW. This infoobject also has all the Financial statement version hierarchies which are being loaded to BPC. The question that I have is, how should the hierarchy text node values for ACCTYPE property be populated if I have to automate this load on a daily basis.
For the actual GL accounts, we have the account number ranges defined. Like 1* series accounts are Assets etc..So we can easily define a rule for populating the ACCTYPE property values. But not sure if there is any easy logic for populating the hierarchy text nodes as we dont have any pattern in them. Would we need to maintain it manually always?
Thanks
Gaurav

Hello Richard,
If there is really no logic behind them there is off course no way of automating this. Then I guess you will have to maintain each node separately.
Some customers are also willing to change their text node structure. For example I had one when where the rules for the 0HIER_NODE records were as follows:
*           EXP -> Starts with 32*, 311*, 312*, 321*, 3111*, 3112*,
*                  3142*, 31111*, 31112*, 311111*
*           INC -> Starts with TOT, 3000000000, 3100000000, 313*,
*                  322*, 3113*, 3141*, 31113*, 311112*
*           AST -> Starts with 1*
*           LEQ -> Starts with 2*
Kind regards,
Christophe

How to import hierarchy text node from BW infoobject

I tried to import hierarchy from BW InfoObject through process chain /CPMB/IMPORT_IOBJ_HIER.
But BPC complains the hierarchy text node haven't been dimension member.
As result, I have to export the hierarchy text node to a flat file and import again which is not convenient.
Does anyone have some best practice for this?
Thank you.

Hi,
You can follow the steps mentioned in the below How-to-Guide of sdn. This explains the steps to be implemeted to inport hierarchies.

How to dynamically replace variables in SMARTFORM texts based on item data?

Hi experts,
I'm currently designing a confirmation of order using Adobe PDF forms. The general layout with tables, pictures and texts was not big deal.
But one tiny bit doesn't work and I'm becoming more and more desperate about it.
We need various free texts for our pdf form. I created the texts using smartform texts. Some of these texts need to be slightly dynamic, so I added some dynamic fields in it.
For example:
"The material is currently out of stock.You can expect shipping around week &num_week&."
To replace the dynamic field &num_week& in my interface, I read that I have to name the dynamic field exactly like the corresponding field in my interface. In my case this would be now:
"The material is currently out of stock.You can expect shipping around week &SLS_PRT_COM-ITEM_DETAIL-ZZ_EXTRAFIELDS-ZZWEEKNUM&."
To see the text on my form, I added a text object with type 'text module' and the proper textname. Of course I'm able to insert text on my form, save and activate it without problems. But if I want to print the form, nothing happens as the print program exits with an error code.
After some hours I found out that this problem only occurs if I'm trying to replace the dynamic field with a field from the item table. Using a field from head details or globals like sy-mandt works like a charm.
So my question is: Is it possible to use item data to replace dynamic fields of a smartform text?
Greetings and thanks in advance!
André

Hi
Have a look at the links below:
LiveCycle ES2 * Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2
Using floating field in Adobe Forms to display text paragraph with dynamic variables in between
After adding the floating field it will apeare in the hierarchy pallet above or bellow the text field.
Good luck

XMLSearch / case in-sensitive search in a text node value with XPATH

Hi everyone,
I was aggregating some XML files and queries for a search
engine. It is pretty easy with coldfusion XML functions BUT ....
I was looking around XMLSearch to do a simple text search
into nodes and I am stuck with it.
with something like that :
selectedElements = XmlSearch(myxmldoc,
'(/directory/user[contains(.,"#form.firstName#")])');
Without loop all the XML elements, I cannot put firstName
text nodes to lower-case, do a simple search into the directory and
get user entries.
Is it possible to do with XPATH something like that :
selectedElements = XmlSearch(myxmldoc,
'(/directory/user[contains(lower-case(.),lower-case("#form.firstName#"))])');
Thanks for your help.

When Do you think coldfusion will implement Xpath functions
as
