Sorry, but still another question about ampersands in data.

I'm sorry to raise a question that has been discussed before, but I have searched the forum and have not found anything I understand.
The problem: I have a user requirement to link two pages using a column value on the first page that may contain embeded ampersands. A link on this column is defined on the first report page and the passed value is to be used in a Where clause for the second report page.
This works fine for values that do not contain ampersands, but, of course, the ampersand is escaped from '&' to '&amp" as it is passed from the first page to the second and thus fails as a Where value in the SQL on the second page.
I have tried many ways to get an un-escaped value passed, and to un-escape the value once it is accessed on the second page, but to no avail.
This is not a user requirement I have control over, but one I must accommodate, unfortunately.
Can some kind soul provide me with help in dealing with such values passed from page to page?
Thank you in advance.

dccase:
I have tried the UTL_URL.UNESCAPE function but I tried it in a "Process" rather than a "Computation". I'll give that a try.
Bob:
I haven't had much luck understanding just when and how page items get populated and/or processed. As I understand your method, you go to Page 2, to Page Edit, to Source, and use the 'replace' function on the field that was loaded in Page 1. I hope I am understanding you properly. I'll give this a try too.
Thank you both. It is good to know I'm not the only one to have to deal with this.

  • Yet another question about super raid - GS70

    Yes, another question about Super Raid...I recently picked up the cheapest model of the GS70 on newegg which comes with 1 mSata SSD...just a mediocre one if I remember reading correctly.  I'm interested in using MSI's Super Raid once my warranty is over with and have been reading a couple posts here:
    1. Walk through of how to reinstall OS
    --> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=167198.msg1224063#msg1224063
    2. I'll need a Super Raid card with links to get some, for about $100 each
    --> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=171722.msg1252847#msg1252847
    3. I can't get Super Raid unless it originally came with it?
    --> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=171185.msg1249640#msg1249640
    So what's the bottom line? Would I still be able to enable super raid in the future or am I SOL since it didn't come with it originally?
    thanks!

    The GT70 CAN come with an adapter that has 2 (on the older, GT70 0NX models) or 3 (on newer GT70 20X models) sockets for mSATA drives. It's an optional part, that takes place of the primary SATA drive in the notebook, and physically has a different part that connects to the motherboard. If it doesn't come with the SuperRaid adapter, then it just has support for a single 2.5" SATA drive.
    The GS70 on the otherhand, has this built into the motherboard and there is no swapping it out for a normal 2.5" SATA drive. You can only use mSATA drives (on those ports). The GS70 is meant to be an ultrabook, and therefore does not have the same ability as the GT70 to house up to 2 full size 2.5" SATA drives.
    That's really the main difference here. Without physically seeing a GT70 to see how the SuperRaid adapter works, it's slightly difficult to explain.
    But in the end, I wouldn't worry about the SuperRaid....The GS70 should have support for Intel Raid Management Engine, in which case that's all you really need.

  • ANOTHER Question about my iMac G3. Mac OS X and RAM

    Hey, I have ANOTHER question about my iMac G3.
    I know that I'm supposed to have the latest firmware updates for my iMac G3 running OS 8.1, which I do, but I read some where these firmware updates could only be updated if you're running OS 9.2. Yet when I run the firmware updater, it says my firmware is up to date. I just wanted to make sure this was correct because I just ordered an OS X 10.2 CD today, and I don't want my mac to be "dead" when I install it.
    My next question is how much RAM can my mac hold. It's an iMac G3 with a 233 mhz processor, if that makes a differemce.
    Again, thanks to the people who have helped me with my first Mac.

    hi there--
    unfortunately you require system 9.1 or 9.2 for the required firmware update 1.2 for your computer http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117. so you'll have to install that if you want to install 10.2. it may work for you for a little while, but then you could possibly lose all your information. so i wouldn't advise attempting installing 10.2 without the correct firmware.

  • Question about Rescheduling Start Date of a Task

    Question about Rescheduling Start Date of a Task
    I'm trying to determine whether the 'Reschedule' action is appropriate to my situation...
    I have a service that consists of 4 tasks.  The first 3 tasks will be completed immediately and then the request's 4th task will sit in a queue for about a month so that all of these requests can be grouped together and fulfilled during a few overnight work sessions.
    While the 4th task is waiting to be fulfilled, the technician will be contacting the requestor to schedule the work to be done sometime during a 3 day window.  The technician needs to specify which of the 3 days each request will be worked on.  I'm not sure if I should store the date in a service form field or have the technician reschedule the task so that the start date of the task is set to one of the 3 days.  If I use the reschedule feature, are there any downsides?
    The advantage of using the reschedule feature is that the scheduled start date can be displayed in ServiceManager's task list and can therefore be sorted on and queried.  This wouldn't be possible if I stored the date in a dictionary field on the service form.  In that case, I'd have to use custom reports to group the tasks by start date.
    Please let me know your thoughts...
    Thanks,
    Scott

    This strikes me as a very good use of this feature, since your need to to have the date for this task rescheduled/reflected in ServiceManager. This is the specific effect of using this feature.
    For the benefit of others reading this post, remember: this rescheduled date will not change the due date for the service.

  • Another question about gmail

    I just posted a question about adding gmail and it was answered.  Now, I have another question,  I added the new gmail account.  It shows in the mail preferences under accounts.  Incoming mail addressed to gmail comes to the Archive Box. But I still can't send mail by gmail because in the drop down menu on the email it only lists my other two accounts.  Gmail is not an option.  I highlighted gmail in the account list and it showed that as the account in use.  But, still there was no gmail option on the email form in the sender box.  How do I fix that?

    You need to look at and read over these very carefully.

  • Another question about adding music to iPhone

    Apologies for yet another question regarding adding music to an iPhone but I am completely stuck.
    I bought a new laptop in January (it runs windows 8). I've authorised it and synced my phone to it before. I've used it to add music before.
    Lately I've just been buying music directly from itunes on my phone but I wanted to add some music from my older collection that is on an external harddrive.
    I've gone through the process of syncing the phone again, which has wiped whatever was on there. I made sure I'd ticked on the "manually manage music" box. 
    It's put all my purchased music back but it still will not let me drag and drop music from my external harddrive. When I hover over with the file it has "link" but it won't actually send the music to the phone.
    Is there a way for me to do this without putting music on to my itunes library? I don't like itunes and I definitely don't want to add the music to my laptop as it defeats the purpose of having an external harddrive! Sorry for such a long-winded explanation.

    Just to add... I've now tried adding music to the library (getting desperate here) and it's not letting me do that either. Just says 'link'.
    This is the most frustrating thing ever. Why are the simplest of tasks made so difficult? It seems like it only works if you buy the music from the iTunes store.

  • Another Question about polymorphism

    If you rewrite a method in your subclass, you could cause a serious problem. I just rewrote a coupl of methods in swing and all hell broke lose?
    jPanelBidBox = new JPanel(){
    private boolean visible;
    setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
    setBorder(new TitledBorder(new CompoundBorder(new MatteBorder(new Insets(2, 2, 2, 2), new Color(0, 51, 255)), new LineBorder(new Color(0, 0, 0), 2)), "Bidding Box"));
    setToolTipText("Bidding Box");
    setVisible(false);
    public void setVisible ( boolean test ) {
    super.setVisible (test);
    public boolean isVisible () {
    return visible;
    If you rewrite some methods from the superclass, you better hope nobody above you is using the code for anything meaningful.
    So I dont quite understand what the polymorphism is all about. It is nice to define a toString for your subclass, you just better hope nobody is using it in your super classes.

    I had a line missing in th code, the correct code i tried is
    jPanelBidBox = new JPanel(){
    private boolean visible;
    setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
    setBorder(new TitledBorder(new CompoundBorder(new MatteBorder(new Insets(2, 2, 2, 2), new Color(0, 51, 255)), new LineBorder(new Color(0, 0, 0), 2)), "Bidding Box"));
    setToolTipText("Bidding Box");
    setVisible(false);
    public void setVisible ( boolean test ) {
    visible = test;
    super.setVisible (test);
    public boolean isVisible () {
    return visible;
    But still didnt help. I looked in the API, and somehow I missed the isVisible method, so I tried to define it for my class. That is what i was trying to do. But it just broke everything.

  • Yet another question about burners for iDVD 6

    It's not my intention to be redundant and the question about which DVD burners are compatible with the most recent release of iDVD has been asked a few times since iLife '06 was released at MacWorld last week. Yet, though Apple has announced it, why have they not posted a list of compatible devices?
    Or, is the onus on the manufacturers to certify that their burners are compatible with iDVD 6?
    In either case, has anyone determined if this information is available and, if so, where?
    Thanks.

    Or, is the onus on the manufacturers to certify that their burners are compatible with iDVD 6?
    Check with the support sections of the manufacturer's websites - after all, THEY are the ones trying to sell burners.

  • A question about UDA and Data-Forms

    Hi all,
    I have a couple of questions about UDA. I am using Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3m, and when I desing a Data-Form I would need to use the UDA I asigned for the Entity dimension: is that posiible?
    The other question is, when creating a Substiution Variable in Essbase I use the function @UDA (+dimension+, "MemberA"), but when using this variable in the Data-Form, it does nothing at all(in fact, it is been detected as an error). Why is that happening?
    Thanks a lot

    Use an attribute dimension to achieve what you are trying to do with UDA's in a data form. An attribute dimension will allow you to filter on members in the base dimension by a specific attribute the same way a UDA will. You can create the attribute dimension in the dimension editor in Planning by selecting the base dimension (Entity) and then select the custom attributes' button. Check the dba guide for a step-by-step approach.
    With regards to the subvar, are you trying to add the function as a value of the subvar when you create it in EAS? If so, this is not allowed. What are you trying to do with the subvar on the form? Subvars are supported in data forms as part of the member selection for a dimension. For instance, you can set up a subvar called CurYear and set the value equal to FY11 for the Fiscal Year dimension. In the data form you can set the member selection for the Fiscal Year dimension to CurYear. When the user opens the form, the member FY11 is returned.

  • Question about exporting FBL3N data in Pivot table format

    Dear all
    I have a question about the "exporting file" function of ECC 6.0.
    We started to use ECC 6.0 system, and it appears that we are no longer able to export "FBL3N data" to a local PC in pivot table format.
    Is there a way to do it?
    We used to be able to do so when the system is 4.6.
    I appreciate your support!
    Kind regards

    Dear:
                 You can do that. Execute report FBL3N with desired GL account in it. After when report has been executed right click on it. There will be an option Spread Sheet. Select all available format. In drill down select 08 (Excel in existing XXL format) and press OK. There you will get pivot table option for downloading., Hope this will help you resolve your query.

  • I have a question about Schedule Ship Date

    Q1:How is this date calculated?
    In some cases, when I booked the order, Schedule ship date is defaulted to 23:59:00 of that day.But in another case there are several days between the request date and schedule ship date.
    Q2:So now we work out the schedule ship date, where can we use it? In another word, what's it usage?
    Can anyone help me?

    Sheduled Ship Date :
    In business terms : This is basically for shippable item's lead time defined in the system. ie. transit time from invoiing unit to customer location with a particular shiiping method.
    if this is not defined that meand lead time = 0 so sheduled shipment dat will be system date by default.
    this is used to auto compute the available planning dates in planning so that producton priortiy can be defined to arrive at sheduled date.
    i hope this information will help you in your understanding for same.
