Sorting in forms 6i

hello all,
i have a two tables called item and order, and i have a form on order.
the table item is having itemid & itemname
the table order is having orderid, itemid & qty
in the order form when the user executes the query the data has to be displayed in asc. order of Itemname, not on itemid
the order forms is having database fields orderid,itemid,qty and non database field itemname
how to do this....?
thanks in adv
Kris

You can use Query From clause to base your block on instead of a table based block, or even create a view and base your table on the view.
This way you can include your column in the block and do the sort, or do the sort in the query itself.

Tony

Ni9263 : 2 sorties de forme différentes

Binjour, j'uitlise le Ni cDAQ 9174 avec un module 9263. Je souhaiterais faire sortir 2 signaux différents. C'est à dire un sortie continue 5V et une sinusoidale 0-10V en pilotant la frequence..Tout ça en meme temps.
Est ce possible? je n'y arrive pas. Mais je pense que ça doit etre tout bete.
Merci beaucoup
Mathieu

Bonjour,
Le module 9263 possède un convertisseur « digital vers analogique » pour chacune de ses 4 sorties analogiques, avec, en outre, un rafraîchissement des voies simultané. Il est donc possible de produire 2 signaux simultanés sur 2 sorties analogiques différentes. En outre, la technologie du Compact DAQ 9174 est également adaptée à ce type de besoin. Vous pouvez donc piloter plusieurs sorties analogiques en même temps. Si vous souhaitez plus d’informations sur le Compact DAQ en question ainsi que sur la technologie de synchronisation et de cadencement qu’il contient, vous pouvez consulter les liens suivants :
User Guide and Specifications NI cDAQ-9178/9174
NI-STC3 Timing and Synchronization Technology
Si vous souhaitez obtenir deux signaux en sortie d’une façon simple, vous pouvez générer vos signaux à l’intérieur d’une même tâche.
Voici un petit exemple basé sur 2 waveformes (qui sont paramétrables, bien sûr) afin de vous aider dans la conception de votre VI.
Le formalisme pour indiquer qu’on travaille sur deux voies physiques (par exemple sur la carte « Dev1 » en ao0 et ao1), mais dans la même tâche est le suivant :
On déclare dans la commande Physical Channel Dev1/ao0 :n (pour utiliser toutes les vois de 0 à n) ou Dev1/ao0, Dev1/ao1 (pour utiliser les voies ao0 et ao1 seulement).
Vous trouverez également plus d’exemples pour vous aider dans la recherche d’exemples LabVIEW, aux rubriques « E/S matérielles/DAQmx/Génération analogique/Tension ».
J’espère que ces quelques éléments vous permettront de progresser dans la résolution de votre problème.
Cordialement,

Sorting at Form Level

Dear All,
thanx for my earliar queries, tahnx a lot.
i am working on Forms 6i / Oracle 8i.Actaully, i need to sort some records on form level, which i got populated in the form one-by-one by the primary key.
pls, suggest me how to proceed.
Inderjeet Singh

It's not Forms that does the sorting, but the database. That's why you modify the ORDER BY clause of the block; Forms passes it to the database which modifies the query accordingly.
So one option is to base your block on a view, which can include your derived field. This is useful for sorting on things like foreign key lookups.
If the thing you want to sort is not in the database, then you can implement your sort using PL/SQL and manipulating the blocks using the block and record built-ins.

Can't add row to sorted tabular form

I have a very basic tabular form created using the wizard. The only significant change I made was to the sort order. When I click on the add row button, the new blank row is created at the top of the table. When the number of rows in the table grew beyond the page size (10), the blank row seems to be created at the top, but the form goes to the last page of data so the blank row is never displayed.
If I remove the ordering then the blank row is added at the bottom and the automatic navigation to the last page shows the blank row.
How can I modify this behaviour - either add the blank row at the end, or display the first page when adding rows.
Table Structure
dt_id (populated by trigger)
dt_date
dt_meal_type varchar2
dt_food varchar2
Sort order is (dt_date desc, dt_meal_type)

Vikas,
I've had a look at your javascript idea. It took a little bit of figuring out but I think I understand it. I had to modify it a bit so that it cleared the values (I'm not trying to clone anything - I just want a blank record).
After spending a whole morning on this I still have 2 fairly serious outstanding issues:
a) When I enter some values into my new blank record and hit Submit nothing seems to be saved and the record just seems to get lost (I suspect I have cleared out some important hidden fields or something)
b) It doesn't work if the table is blank and I am trying to enter the very first record.
I'm sure it's possible to fix these issues but I am no javascript expert and I have come to the conclusion that it just isn't worth investing any more time.
The benefit of Application Express to me is that it is a simple declarative development environment. There are many things I need to be concerned about and javascript just isn't one of them.
Whilst I wait for the tabular forms functionality to mature, I think I will go back to the good old report + Edit button style.
Thanks,
Alastair
PS. Here is the script I added to the region header (I removed everything I didn't understand and added it back in as and when I needed it):
<script>
function addRow()
var col = html_GetElement('NAME'); // NAME is just an arbitrary column in my table
var tab = html_CascadeUpTill(col,'TABLE');
var row1 = tab.rows[1];
var clone = row1.cloneNode(true);
var elements = clone.getElementsByTagName('input');
for (var j=0;j<elements.length;j++) elements[j].value="";
myNewRow = tab.insertRow(tab.rows.length);
myNewClone = myNewRow.replaceNode(clone);
</script>

Syntax Similar to Sorting in form not in Print Program

I want to Print the sales document(s) in the descending order and to achieve this in the print program i don't want to use the SORT statement or logic to achieve the same.Is there any way i can do it in the Form itself.

hi,
in smart forms we can create program line , in that we can sort out our table. but in script we cant do that sortening.
thanq,

How can I sort multiple forms in Acrobat X (Mac)?

Okay, I am working on a form that has over 300 (336 to be exact) forms in it, so dragging and dropping one at a time is really time consuming. I was wondering if there was a way to drag multiple forms (Shift Click or Cmd Click several, then arrange them in the forms field) in the Forms Field. I have tried everything I could think of and even did several searches. There doesn't seem to be a way to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm working on Fillable Pathfinder Character Sheets, in case you were wondering.

Or perhaps the text is jumbled. You can check whether the text is correct (and hence, searchable) by copy/pasting a bit of text out of the PDF and into Word (or whatever). If what comes out is nonsense, there is no hope of searching.

Sorting HR forms

Hi,
I have a requirement where the client wants the Payslip (generated using HR Forms) to be created not based on the personel number but based on the address field. So i need to create the payslip based on that address feild and not employee number.
This way payslips for all the employees with same address will be created together.
How do go about this??

Naba

V11.1.2.1 Sorting Data Form - Honor Hierarchy

Could someone please tell me how does Honor Hierarchy work?
I understand the user guide but it doesn't seem to be doing what it explains.
I am expecting the data sorting to be within each hierarchy, but it works across data anyways.
Regards
Abhi

Would really appreciate if someone can help with this.
Help file says that -
Honor Hierarchy: Sort within the hierarchy. If this option is not selected, sort works across data.
But as if I understand it correctly, it doesn't work. Would appreciate if someone can share some detailed reference around it.

Abhi

I haven't used Matt Wright's scripts in this century, but I'm pretty sure that Perl still needs to go into your CGI bin and the permissions level (chmod) must be set to 755 or possibly 777 for the script to read, write & execute.

How to sort the alv

what is the process to sort in alvs report the output is in decending and accending order without using standard buttenens in the output list .
         i am asking how to sort bydefault when we are executing the report ,
         output list will automatically in sort order.
could u plz explalin clearly with comments
and code

Hi
Add this to your alv reporting
Add Default Sorting to ALVgrid report
In order to display an ALV report with specific columns already sorted by default you will need to build a
sort catalogue. This is fairly straight forward and is done in the following way:
        Step 1. Add data declaration for sort catalogue
        Step 2. Add code to build sort catalogue table
        Step 3. Update 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' FM call to include parameter 'it_sort'
ALV data declarations
data: it_sortcat   type slis_sortinfo_alv occurs 1,
        wa_sort like line of it_sortcat.
perform build_sortcat.
*&      Form build_sortcat
      Build Sort catalog
FORM build_sortcat .
wa_sort-spos      = 1.
wa_sort-fieldname = 'EBELN'.
gd_sortcat-tabname
APPEND wa_sort TO it_sortcat.
wa_sort-spos      = 2.
wa_sort-fieldname = 'EBELP'.
gd_sortcat-tabname
APPEND wa_sort TO it_sortcat.
ENDFORM.                    " build_sortcat
call function 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
       exporting
            i_callback_program      = gd_repid
            i_callback_top_of_page   = 'TOP-OF-PAGE'
            is_layout               = gd_layout
            it_fieldcat             = fieldcatalog[]
            it_sort                 = it_sortcat
            i_save                  = 'X'
       tables
            t_outtab                = it_ekko
       exceptions
            program_error           = 1
            others                  = 2.

How to CORRECTLY do a form Login and get a cookie in return???

Hi,
I am a relatively new developer and this is actualy my first post ever. I ussually find everything i need in other posts but for some reason this time i have been miserably unsuccessful and am close to pulling my hair out.
I am trying to login to a website using some sort of form login so that it returns a cookie that i can than use to download files or access pages.
Now here is the actual html of the website:
<form name="login" action="https://www.website.com.au/login/login_action.cfm" method="post">
<div class="username">
<input name="contact_username" type="text" size="16" maxlength="60" />
</div>
<div class="password">
<input name="contact_password" type="password" size="16" maxlength="60" />
</div>
<div class="login">
<img id="li" src="/corporate/images/login_up.gif" alt="Login Button" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore();"
onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('li','','/corporate/images/login_over.gif',1);" onclick="check_submit();" />
</div>
</form>
Could some one PLEEEEEASE let me know the code that i could use to successfuly login and return a cookie.
I have already created the code the uses the cookie to access pages. (I got the cookie from login normally using web browser).
So now i just need to know how i can login and get a cookie returned to the above form????
PLEASE PLEASE HELP.
Thanks in advanced :)

1) I'm wondering how this all applies to Java. What Java code have you tried and has failed here? Are you talking about Java or Javascript? JSP?
2) Please don't cross-post this in multiple forums. That only pisses us off and will guarantee you less help than if you didn't do this. Imagine a volunteer giving of his free time to help someone, spending say an hour or more trying to come up with a solution, then finding after posting that the solution was already given in a cross-post, and you'll know why this is very much frowned upon in these forums. Choose one thread to be the active thread, and then put a note in the other thread directing posters to the active thread (if you really want help that is).

Creating tabular form using SQL query

Hi,
I need to create a tabular form using an SQL query so that multiple rows of a table are displayed on screen and are editable to the user.
I have created this sort of form before using the Tabular Form wizard however for this form I need to enter SQL to produce it.
The steps I take are:
1. Create Page
2. Page with Component
3. Form
4. Fow on a SQL query
5. For the query I have: 'select * from depot_master_customer'
However when I view the page, it just displays one blank field with the title '*' !!
I am doing something completely wrong here? It seems like it should be a simple thing to do.
Any help appreciated, this one is driving me mad.
Thanks
Simon

Simon,
You will need to manually create the tabular form and DML process. This is covered in detail in the How To document shown below:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/howtos/tabular_form.html
Have you tried this yet?
Good luck!
Emilio.

Unable to open PDF form using latest reader

Unable to open this PDF: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-130.pdf

It is something we consider, but the cost to implement is pretty large and many more users encounter the forms that we do support. However, we do see a number of users request being able to fill this sort of form in the forums and that feedback is appreciated. Bottom line, this isn't something we have immediate plans to implement, but it's a request we hear and will continue to consider.

Submitting InfoPath form twice

Here's my problem:
I have an InfoPath form created. A user fills out the form, then selects the "Approver". They then hit submit and the form is sent via e-mail to the "Approver". Once the "Approver" reviews the form, they then hit submit - I want
it to then go to ANOTHER user (well - its a DL, but same thing). The way it is currently set up is once the "Approver" hits submit, it sends it back to him/herself.
Does anyone know some simple instructions / steps to get this accomplished?

You'll need to create some sort of form status and when the approver submits, switch that form status to the next stage.
This book walks through the entire process:

And I believe this video may help too:
