Spaces removed when inserting a value into a text item

Dear members,
(Forms 6i c/s)
I have a databased function returning a string of characters (varchar2). This value can have spaces at its end.
When I put this value into a text item in Forms, the spaces at the end are removed.
How can I avoid that ?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
There is no elegant solution for this. Metalink has a discussion of the topic in note nr 247715.1

Insert a Value into a Text Field

Hello,
I have a prbmel. I have a Text Field Item on my page. Now I want that it loads automatically, so before de header is loaded, a value out of a tabel in it. Therefore I created an PL/SLQ statement
declare
function get_current_id return number
is
ret number;
begin
for i in (select my_column idt from my_tabel)
loop
ret:= i.idt;
end loop;
return ret;
end;
begin
:P1_ID:=get_current_id;
end;
I know taht it is working becasue I have tested it in the SQL Command line but in the Page the Value isn't displyed. Can someone tell me why?

Hi
I think you are trying to populate ID value (primary key) with the last value of your table? Is that you are trying? If it's NUMBER column you better try to use MAX function..
Since you want default value for only one item, Edit item P1_ID -> go to Default value section
Select default type as SQL and put following SQL
SELECT MAX(my_column) FROM my_table;So on page load, P1_ID will get populated with MAX value of my_column from my_table

Inserting a Value into otherTable using an App. Proc. from a Date Picker

I'm trying to call an Application Process that will insert an Attribute of a Row, into another table, after selecting a date from a Date Picker cell.
I don't know why this shouldn't be possible. I think I've got all of my "Ducks in a Row", so to speak,
but the Value that is being inserted into the other table is this:.. [object HTMLTableCellElement]
(Ultimately, I'd like my Application Process to include Page element values with the insert as well, but I'm trying to handle one problem at a time)
Here's a list of all the steps I've covered:
1. I've Created an Application Process, (popDevices). The Process Point is "On-Demand". The Type is "PL/SQL Anonymous Block".
The Process is defined as such:
BEGIN
Insert into P_DEVICES
NAME,
IP_ADDRESS,
MODEL
) values
'Unassigned',
'Unassigned',
:P153_MODEL
COMMIT;
END;
2. I've Included the Javascript in the Page HTML Header.
The Javascript is written as such: (minus the tags)
function popDevices(PART_NO)
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=popDevices',0);
get.add('P153_MODEL',PART_NO);
gReturn = get.get();
get = null;
3. I've included the following in the "Element Attributes" field of the Date-Picker Item (Date_Delivered).
The Region Type is "SQL Query (Updatable Report)"
onChange="javascript:popDevices(PART_NO);"
THE RESULTS
A. A row does get inserted into the other (P_Devices) table,
But the value of the Attribute from the Page Region is not valid.
The Inserted value is this: [object HTMLTableCellElement]
B. I have tried Every conceivable combination of characters in the "Element Attributes" field, such as:
...(PART_NO), (#PART_NO#), (||PART_NO||), (+PART_NO+)
C. The Javascript in the Page HTML Header appears to be correct, since I have written it this same way for other applications without any problems.
D. If this simply cannot be done by referencing the "onChange" Javascript from the "Element Attributes" field,
Then can you help me to write the code into the Select statement of the region.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
-Gary

This may not be the most direct approach to the solution. But, none the less, it is a solution.
For those other novices, like myself, I hope this can be useful at some point in your development:
MY DESIRED RESULT:
A. To Insert into another tablle values derived from both; Page Item (i.e. P153_x) and Attributes of a Row in an Updatable Report from which I have selected the Date-Picker.
B. I want the insert to occur automatically after the user Selects the date from the Date-Picker.
SOLUTIONS:
1. I usea Javascript prompt window to prompt for information and store the information in Pre-Created Page Items.
This is the Javascript as I've entered it into the Page HTML Header region: (Minus the Tags)
function received_javaprompt () {
var Serial_Number = prompt("Enter the Serial Number");
var Bldg_Id = prompt("Enter the Bldg_Id");
var Clst_Id = prompt("Enter the Clst_Id");
$x('P153_SERIAL_NO').value = Serial_Number;
$x('P153_BLDG_ID').value = Bldg_Id;
$x('P153_CLST_ID').value = Clst_Id;
2. I needed to identify the (Manufacturer and Part_No) Column Attribute in the Row from which I selected the Date-Picker.
A. To do this, I enumerated the Columns in the order they were listed in the Select Statement of the region (Click on the Region Definition Tab).
B. Then (Click on the Report Attributes Tab). Count, In the numerical order which these columns are selected, ONLY the columns that are Editable.
C. When I counted down as far as the Column I wanted to capture the value of, Then I made a mental note of that number and used it in the following (2) Javascripts (findMaker and findModel).
3. findMaker (Minus the tags)
function findMaker (pThis) {
var vRow = pThis.id.substr(pThis.id.indexOf('_')+1);
var Maker = html_GetElement('f15_'+vRow).value
$x('P153_MAKER').value = Maker;
4. findModel (Minus the tags)
function findModel (pThis) {
var vRow = pThis.id.substr(pThis.id.indexOf('_')+1);
var Model = html_GetElement('f16_'+vRow).value
$x('P153_MODEL').value = Model;
5. I added one more Javascript, to the Page HTML Header, that references the Application Process which will Insert the values into the "Other" table:
function popDevices(P153_SERIAL_NO,P153_BLDG_ID,P153_CLST_ID,P153_MAKER,P153_MODEL)
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=popDevices',0);
get.add('P153_SERIAL_NO',P153_SERIAL_NO);
get.add('P153_BLDG_ID',P153_BLDG_ID);
get.add('P153_CLST_ID',P153_CLST_ID);
get.add('P153_MAKER',P153_MAKER);
get.add('P153_MODEL',P153_MODEL);
gReturn = get.get();
get = null;
6. I added the "onChange" process to the Element Attributes field of the Table item which utilizes the Date-Picker:
A. Click on the Report Attributes Tab of the Region.
B. Click on the Edit icon of the column which utilized the Date-Picker
C. I added this "onChange" reference to the Element Attributes field, which is found in the Tabular Form section.
onChange="javascript:received_javaprompt();findModel(this);findMaker(this);popDevices((P153_SERIAL_NO).value,(P153_BLDG_ID).value,(P153_CLST_ID).value,(P153_MAKER).value,(P153_MODEL).value);"
7. The Application Process which inserts the collected data into the table is as follows:
(Name= popDevices: Process Point= On-Demand: Type= PL/SQL Anonymous Block)
BEGIN
Insert into P_DEVICES
BLDG_ID,
CLST_ID,
NAME,
IP_ADDRESS,
SERIAL_NO,
MAKER,
MODEL
) values
:P153_BLDG_ID,
:P153_CLST_ID,
'Unassigned',
'Unassigned',
:P153_SERIAL_NO,
:P153_MAKER,
:P153_MODEL
COMMIT;
END;
Well, I hope this may help someone else like me.
I usually arrive at my solutions by getting help here on the Discussion Forum and also Google. Google inevitably points me to a previous Apex Discussion Forum session.

Insert a value into bol attribut

Hiii,
I will insert a value into a bol attribut with the method "SET_PROPERTY".
Here is my code so far.
lr_entity ?= me->typed_context->builheader->collection_wrapper->get_current( ).
if lr_entity is bound.
      lr_entity->set_property( EXPORTING
                               iv_attr_name = 'TITLE_KEY'
                               iv_value = '0100'
endif.
The problem here is, I can the in the debug mode, that the value is inserted.
But by running the debug mode again, the value of the attribut 'TITLE_KEY' is empty.
My question here is, how can I save the value of attribut?
Can anybody help me please?
regards,
John

Hallo Ashish,
I already tried to do this with
DATA lr_core TYPE REF TO cl_crm_bol_core.
lr_core = cl_crm_bol_core=>get_instance( ).
lr_core->modify( ).
It is also interessting that, after
lr_core->modify( ).
I cann't look into the bol entity builheader during debugging.
Durring debugging, ATTRIBUTE_REF(Container Proxy->DATA REF-> ATTR_REF)
Do you have any other idea?
reagards,
John

Assigning LOV return Value to multiple text items

Hi all
I have a custom form on which i have 10 text items
text item 1,text item 2 ....text item10
I have a table xx_querywith fields
text_item,query
i have inserted into the xx_query table
insert into xx_query(text_item,query)
values(text_item1,'select sysdate from dual');
insert into xx_query(text_item,query)
values(text_item2,'select sysdate-1 from dual');
I have created a record group dynamically and i am getting the query from the query column of the xx_query table into the record group(say test_rg)
I have created a LOV test_lov and thr set_lov_property i have populated the test_rg query into the test_LOV
is it possible for me to set the return item of the LOV dynamically so that i can get the LOV on the item which i want to ?
thanks

Hi All
thanks for your responses
I have Created a control item and assigned the return value of the LOV to the control item
and i have assigned the LOV to the text item that i want
Currently when i navigate to the text item the LOV is visible
but when i select a value from the LOV the value is not getting populated into the text item
I have assigned the value of the control item to the text item
but i am not sure in which trigger to write the code so as when i select the value from the LOV the value should be shown on the form populating in the text item
Thanks

How i can assign multiple values to tabuler text item (Help)

HI
IM PROGRAMMING ONE FORM AND I PUT THERE TABULER TEXT ITEM
I WANT ASSIGN 63 VALUES TO THIS TEXT ITEM ONE BY ONE BY CODE I MEAN PUT FIRST VALUE IN THE FIRST TEXT ITEM ROW THEN SECOND TO THE SECOND TEXT ITEM AND LIKE THIS UNTIL I REACH TO THE LAST
I MAKE LOV PUT I CAN ASSIGN ONE VALUE BY ONE VALUE EACH TIME DOUBLE CLICK ON THE TEXT ITEM ASSIGN ONE VALUE THEN DOUBLE CLICK ON THE SECOND ROW PUT MY BOSS WANT ASSIGN ALL VALUES 63 FROM ONE CLICK ON BUTTON

Then you will have to create a when-validate-item trigger with a cursor based on your selection of your LOV . Loop through that cursor assigning the next in the next record by using the built-in function next_record. (put you selection for you value in a hidden item for example.
something like this:
Declare
cursor c is
select returnValueFromLOV
from <yourtable>
where yourdisplay value = :hidden_tem;
begin
for r in c loop
next_record;
item := r. returnValueFromLOV;
end loop;
exception
when no_data_found
your error handling;
end;
Hope it put you on the road to reach what you want

Updating a value of a text item in a multi record block based on a change

Hi,
I need to change the value of a text item in a multi record block based on a change to another item's value in the same block.
Suppose there's a text item in a multi record block called dt1 which is of type date, which is changed in a particular record. I want to change the values of the another item in the same multi record block, for all other records by running a loop through all the records in multi record block. I dont want to do it on the press of a button, it should do automatically on change. Help me resolve this issue.

Kerning removed when pasting word document into indd.

I am trying to paste a set of tables into indd. I converted the PDF to a DOC using Acrobat Pro, and it looks and behaves fine in Word. But when I paste it into place all of the kerning is removed. Why is this happening and how do I stop it?

Hmmm, well I've reproduced it.
Can't explain it.
But I reproduced it. It's not a matter of "kerning" but rather the exclusion of the regular space character.
I tried converting table to text (in Word), then converting it back to a table before placing, and the spaces were preserved, but aside from all the space characters having a "custom tracking" value applied, the round-trip conversion resulted in a mangled layout anyway, so it was really only good for experimental purposes in the end.
In my standard workflows, I rarely if ever Place text-based content, and it's likely because scenarios like this were involved in the evolution of my habits. Word tables and InDesign tables have very little in common, and I would probably bring in plain text and reconstruct the table(s) in InDesign, if this was my project, without having even tried to Place. Actually, I've had better luck (copy/paste) with Excel to InDesign tables.

How do I insert multiple values into different fields in a stored procedure

I am writing a Stored Procedure where I select data from various queries, insert the results into a variable and then I insert the variables into final target table. This works fine when the queries return only one row. However I have some queries that return multiple rows and I am trying to insert them into different fields in the target table. My query is like
SELECT DESCRIPTION, SUM(AMOUNT)
INTO v_description, v_amount
FROM SOURCE_TABLE
GROUP BY DESCRIPTION;
This returns values like
Value A , 100
Value B, 200
Value C, 300
The Target Table has fields for each of the above types e.g.
VALUE_A, VALUE_B, VALUE_C
I am inserting the data from a query like
INSERT INTO TARGET_TABLE (VALUE_A, VALUE_B, VALUE_C)
VALUES (...)
How do I split out the values returned by the first query to insert into the Insert Statement? Or do I need to split the data in the statement that inserts into the variables?
Thanks
GB

"Some of the amounts returned are negative so the MAX in the select statement returns 0 instead of the negative value. If I use MIN instead of MAX it returns the correct negative value. However I might not know when the amount is going to be positive or negative. Do you have any suggestions on how I can resolve this?"
Perhaps something like this could be done in combination with the pivot queries above, although it seems cumbersome.

Reading BFile datatype value to insert corresponding value into blob

Hi,
I have oracle 10.2.0 database.
I have this table with 3 columns of datatypes
TableA(id, Blob, BFile)
now i have pdf files stored in a directory for every id which ranges from 1 till 100.
for example for id=10, the pdf file name is cr10.pdf
except that for some id there is no correpsonding pdf's.
and i have a written a query where for a particular id, i link the corresponding pdf into the BFile. now is there a way where i can view the value of the bfile locator and find whether the bfile is null or not(i mean whether there is a pdf or not existing for that particular id)
what i need to do is, based on the bfile value i will insert the pdf into the blob column.
so based on the bfile value(ie whethe rthe pdf exisit or not) i will open the pdf and read the contents into the blob column.
and somehow i have figure out that a pdf is not exisiting based on the bfile value and then insert a null into the blob column instead of getting an error by trying to read a pdf which doesn't exist.
Can someone help me, how to find out existance of a file based on bfile value and insert value into blob.
I want this is script to be automated instead of checking manually a file exists or not.
Thanks,
Philip.

How can I insert a value into the Oracle Date column using JDBC?

Suppose I have a table TEST created by "create table TEST (c1 INT, c2 Date);"
Now I want to insert some proper value into the table TEST's column c2. I couldn't do that by TRYing using Java.sql.Date, Java.Util.Date, Java.String.
Could anyone give me some suggestions by providing the sample code?
Many thanks for your help!
Wendy

What about building the java string:
"Insert into test (c1,d1) values ("+
Integer.toString(var)+
", TO_DATE("
formatYourDateVariableWithCalendarMethods
",'DD-MON-YYYY')"
and executing it ??
