Substitution Variables just don't work for me

I have a database that I want to copy data from one version of existing data to another version using substitution variables. I have a version of (target) data named "Flash Sep Test" that I want to copy to, and a version (source) "HQ1" with the data I want to copy from My substitution variable at (same) database level is called "Flash1" with value of "Sep" My calc script code is: DATACOPY "HQ1" TO "Flash &Flash1 Test"; When I run the calc I get this error: Invalid Member name "Flash &Flash1 Test" and it won't copy the data over. Any suggestions on how to get this to work will be much appreciated...HELP!!!??? Sign me, A very frustrated db adminText

Andy and Will, Thanks for your help! I figured out to use the variable value with the quotes like this "Flash Sep Test" did work when I just placed the variable name &varFlash in the calc code without quote marks. Sure wish Essbase's help function explained the use of this (and other code) better than it does. Hope it has improved by ver 7.#. Thanks again for your assistance! Alan Hartt Hewlett Packard

I can't update my apps even when I do App Store>purchased> select all...... It don't work for me

When you tap on All at the top. That shows all of you purchased apps. You still have to manually go through each letter (on the left side) and look through every page of apps in order to find the apps that need an update. It is a pain and its time consuming, but that's how you have to do it.
Is that what you are doing and it's not working for you?

I need help finding a workable web program that is not CSS based. I tried IWeb and it just won't work for me. Way too limiting. I've been using a 12 year old copy of Macromedia Dreamweaver, but the new Dreamweaver is CSS

Been building web pages for nearly 20 years, starting with GoLive. Went to Dreamweaver about 12 years ago, the Macromedia version. Tried going to iWeb when it came with a new Mac, but found it way too limiting with it's CSS template base.   Unknowlingly, I then bought a new copy of Dreamweaver.   Ooops, Adobe had bought Macromedia and Dreamweaver, too, is now CSS based, which for my money makes it useless to anyone who likes simplicity.   Now I find that even iWeb has been discontinued. I was told yesterday that Apple doesn't have a web program any more.   At 12 years old, I just don't think it's practical to try to load my old Macromedia Dreamweaver into the new Mountain Lion (I'm getting a new Mac), though it is running, barely, in Snow Leopard.
I need to find a web builder program that will permit simple construction of educational pages, nothing fancy, nothing artistic, just create a page, give it a color, type or drag in text, insert a table, insert pix in the table blocks, add text under the pix... done!    I should note that I am not looking to build traffic. I teach simple things for free and people who want to learn those things (antique sewing machine repair, quilting, building longbows) find me.
I've downloaded trial versions of half a dozen or so programs and looked at maybe 20 more, but all are either CSS based and drive me insane with requirments for constantly making rules and template models, and/or require that you base your web presence in their server.   Also, many will not work with pages built in other programs. I maintian a volume of over 1000 web pages, many requiring regular updating, and they have been with the same server for more than 15 years. I'm not about to change.
So, anybody know a simple, old fashioned web builder that's happpy on a Mac platform?
Captain Dick

Although not supported anymore, iWeb does still function using Mountain Lion...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/mountain-lion.html
... and you can purchase it from Amazon.
Start with a blank page using the Black or WHite template.
All modern websites use CSS and there are thousands of free templates to be had if you want to use a code entry style application. You will need to go this route if you want to create a site that is viewable on mobile devices although you can create an iPhone version using iWeb...

:*( Form buttons don't work for all testers

I created a form in Acrobat 9.1 using Forms> Add or Edit Fields. The form contains action buttons for next page and previous page, to clear all fields, and (with the generous help of a fellow forum member) to print the form and save it to disk. I optimized the form with compatibility set to Acrobat 8.0 and later, then enabled it for Reader. I sent this form to several users for testing.
Those using Acrobat have no problems with it.
Those using Foxit Reader have no problems with the action buttons or the form fields (except that date fields are finicky; Foxit doesn't convert the dates to the correct format the way Reader or Acrobat do). But, the yellow background that I created as a watermark -- so I could make it visible but not print -- is printing. That's not anything that Acrobat can help, but it is a very good reason to not recommend using Foxit. It would create a dreadful shortage of yellow inkjet ink.
Those using Reader 8.0 to 8.1.2 are having several problems. For them, the action buttons don't work... except the "clear all fields" one. The buttons don't do anything; there are no errors, no messages, no activity of any kind except to change color when clicked.
The buttons that don't work are all set up as Mouse Up actions executing a menu item... for example, "Go to page 2" is just View>Go To>Next Page. The "Clear all fields" button is, on Mouse Up, "Reset a form" with all fields selected... so it's the only kind of button that works for Reader users, and it's the only button that doesn't execute a menu item.
Why is there a difference in actions these users can run? If it's a security issue... what possible risk is there in going to the next page, using a button instead of a scroll bar or Page Down key??? I can find no common sense here, especially because Reader users are the only ones barred from these form actions. Everyone else can use them.
-- Also, these testers (Reader 8+) are having problems with the tab order. Some of the radio button groups (which have no more than three options, Yes, No and NA) at first appear to be tabbing correctly, because the Yes option receives focus in the correct order... but randomly, tabbing through several fields, suddenly the No option will get focus... in a radio button group nowhere near the current tab location. Tabbing is rendered useless, then, because these anomalies are unpredictable and it doesn't appear there's anything I can do to prevent this from happening.
It's pointless to delete and re-add the afflicted radio buttons. That has no effect... and the radio button groups are already in the correct order anyway. I don't know how this could possibly happen... But it doesn't happen for the Foxit or Acrobat testers.
• Why would Reader be the only app that can't use the buttons and can't tab through the fields correctly? I'd think Adobe's own software would work best with their own file format. •
Is Reader 8 the problem --- should those users all update to the newest version? I don't have any Reader 9+ testers yet. Nobody seems interested in it. The testers all assume the problems are MY fault, so nobody's happy with me and no one wants to bother testing the forms because there's always something wrong.
<hair-pulling> I seriously regret upgrading to Acrobat 9.1. I know other forum members who agree this thing is catastrophically buggy -- I've wasted weeks trying to iron out all the problems I've been having with these forms, forms that should have been quick and simple to create, and in past versions of Acrobat, would have been. Yet I'm still tearing out my hair over tab order! Worse, I fear I'm close to losing my job for all the time wasted and all the projects I've fallen behind in because of this. <no /hair-pulling in sight>

I have no clue, but it might make a difference depending on the form being produced in Acrobat versus Designer. Acrobat will take you both places and one of them may have an issue with backward compatibility. I have not heard of that, but it is a possibility.

Mail rules work for some users, don't work for others

Ready to pull my hair out over this one:
Leopard to Snow Leopard upgrade went uneventfully, except for the fact that server-side mail rules (accessed via browser at FQDN -> Mail Rules) work for several users (two, to be exact) and don't for the rest (about 15 or so).
The usual culprits have been reviewed: 'Enable Server-Side Mail Rules' is checked in Mail -> Settings -> Filters, 'Allow users to configure server-side mail rules' is checked in Web -> Sites -> Web Services, users can create vacation notices and email rules without issue via browser, permissions look fine on the contents of /Library/Email Rules and /var/spool/imap/dovecot/sieve-scripts, logs give no indication of any foul play (at least the Email Rules -> debug.log generates the same entries for both functional and non-functional users), etc.
I have noticed that /var/spool/imap/dovecot/sieve-scripts contains only two items, which - you guessed it - line up with the GUIDs of the two functional users. Theoretically every user with a rule should be represented here.
As suggested in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11171395&#11171395
I created both a vacation notice and an email rule for several users, thinking that may force the folder creation for those users, but no dice. I even manually created folders for a few users with their GUIDs as the folder names and assigned each user ownership and read/write access. Still nothing. Created a few new test user accounts just to rule out any legacy account weirdness (although it's worth noting that I completely redid the OD and recreated user accounts after the upgrade) and replicated the problem with these, as well. Lastly, used Inspector to compare OD attributes between functional and non-functional accounts, with no glaring differences.
Help!

Did you find an answer? I encounter the same problem on my new MiniServer. Deleted and created all users several times, but just for some accounts mail is working.
Do you have the answer?

Enter Substitution Variable I: (capital letter I for Indigo)

Hello all,
I urgently need to run a query in SQL Developer today but one of my 'case... when' clauses which I had to modify slightly is causing the query to ask for a Substitution Variable. I have never seen this before and can't see any fault in my code so I'm confused and getting frustrated why this problem has suddenly appeared today on the reporting run.
The original clause works fine:
                  ,case when lower(class_name) like ('%funding note%')
                        then 0
                        else orig_bal
                  end orig_bal_amdI altered it to this:
,case when geo_segment_name in ('NorthAmer')
                        then case when bus_grp_typ in ('CMBS')
                                  then case when c_bond_type_desc not in ('P&I')
                                            then c_notional_amount
                                            else orig_bal
                                       end
                                  else case when lower(class_name) like ('%funding note%')
                                            then 0
                                            else orig_bal
                                       end
                             end
                        else orig_bal
                  end orig_bal_amdor this:
                  ,case when geo_segment_name in ('NorthAmer')
                        and bus_grp_typ in ('CMBS')
                        then case when c_bond_type_desc not in ('P&I')
                                  then c_notional_amount
                                  else orig_bal
                             end
                        else case when geo_segment_name in ('NorthAmer')
                                  and lower(class_name) like ('%funding note%')
                                  then 0
                                  else orig_bal
                            end
                  end orig_bal_amd also strangely this, which reverts the above to be syntactically the same as the first simpler (working) cause, is also causing the substitution problem.
                  ,/*case when geo_segment_name in ('NorthAmer')
                        and bus_grp_typ in ('CMBS')

                                  then c_notional_amount
                                  else orig_bal
                             end
                        else */case --when geo_segment_name in ('NorthAmer')
                                  when lower(class_name) like ('%funding note%')
                                  then 0
                                  else orig_bal
                            end orig_bal_amd
                  -- end orig_bal_amd does anyone have any idea why this is happening? i really need to get this data run and I have no idea what is causing this issue.
thank you very much in advance for any ideas.

" then case when c_bond_type_desc not in ('P&I') "
Any variable preceded with & behaves like a substitution variable .. Hence here , I behaves like a substitution variable .
for more info :-
http://www.oracle.com/technology/support/tech/sql_plus/htdocs/sub_var9.html
Way to make an "&" be treated as text and not cause a prompt. Turn all variable substitution off:
set define off
Or
Use escape characters.
Thanks.

Substitute Variables VI does not work for names with underbars. What can I do?

For example, I want to change "p_0=p_1+p_2;" into "x0=x1+x2;". However the VI does not do it and returns just the same formula. Is this the specification? I enclosed a sample VI to show it.

SubTest.vi ‏44 KB

You problem is in "Find String Identifier" (a subVI of "Substitue Variables") - it searches your variables and tries to split any other characters out of it (it only accepts alphanumeric and spaces as variable names, not special characters - hence your "p_0" becomes "p", and then "p" is not found in your substitution rules, so the original is piped through instead.

Random videos on youtube just don't work and give off an error message. I've reinstalled and reset firefox and still nothing.

Lately some random videos that I try to watch just don't even try to load and instantly give off the "There was an error during playback" message I open it in IE and it works fine no problem. I've been trying to fix it on my own from reinstalling firefox or resetting it to trying a new profile. I wasn't getting this problem until I had to reinstall firefox to get myth-weavers.com to work. Ever since I freshly reinstalled firefox some videos have not work.
-Not blocked by isp
-Videos are often from the same uploader.
-seems like every 4 or 5 videos is down.
-I went to try and update my plugins in stuff and this was found http://imgur.com/bGWnrSf
-not sure what to do about above.
-my java is up to date.

Hi Fayko, a couple of other users are reporting this problem, too.
Did you notice any difference in Safe Mode? To spell that out a bit more: Firefox's Safe Mode is a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?
Regarding your Java plugins, the "Deployment" one might not be updateable but the regular Java SE is. You can use the link on the plugin check page or [http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp]. But Youtube doesn't use the Java plugin, so that would just be for sites that do.

Symlinks don't work for app bundles?

Anyone seen the following?
I'm pretty new to OS X programming. I'm using CMake to help me build cross-platform code on OS X 10.5 (in addition to Linux). I'm using CMake's "MACOSX_BUNDLE" option for the executables. My GUI is created with the FLTK library.
When I build application "foo", I get the expected bundle file tree: "foo.app/Contents/MacOS/foo".
If I directly run ...../MacOS/foo on the command-line, the program works just fine.
However, if I create a symlink *pointing at* ...../MacOS/foo, and execute the symlink, the program doesn't work right. The window appears, but it's not made the front-most window on the desktop, and the menus don't respond. This reminds me of how programs acted before I found out I was supposed to build them as application bundles.
Does anyone know why symlinks aren't working for me?
Thanks,
Christian

Writing good software isn't reason enough?
So, you may be right that I'm asking something of OS X that it wasn't really designed to do. But given my cross-platform and small-code needs, I'm not sure if there's really a better solution.
OS X can do whatever you want. You are trying to build a Mac tools with CMake, which I'd never heard of until a couple of weeks ago and which apparently can't built a Mac application if it had to.
You are free to use whatever you want to build your application, but I strongly encourage you to bit the bullet and just try it on a Mac once. See how Xcode does it. Then, if you want to build it with some wacky tool, go right ahead. But you need to have a working example first. Even if you don't want to build your entire app in Xcode, at least do a simple "Hello World" app that can run with our without the GUI. Then hack up your CMake to build your app like Xcode built the HelloWorld app.
I have done what you are trying to do in Xcode. All you have to do is look for the "-psn" command-line argument that indicates you are running in the GUI. If you have "-psn", you are in the GUI and you don't get any other command-line arguments. If not, you were launched from the command line, so parse away.

Pdf links don't work for imported text

Hi.
I imported some common sections located in their own frame file into three different books.
I tried this by reference first because I want to make changes only once, to the actual file.
When I make a pdf, the toc links to the imported reference text don't work. Nor do links within the text to other locations in the text.
When I import by text, the links work. But import by text defeats the purpose of having one source for multiple books.
I appreciate any help on this.

Unfortunately, cross-references in FM files imported by reference into other FM files ("text insets") are not converted to PDF links -- this applies to all versions of FrameMaker and Acrobat.
Limited workarounds are to (1) convert the text insets to regular text (on a temporary copy that is discarded after the PS/PDF is created; this can be automated using FrameScript) or (2) use hypertext links to create the PDF links (these are converted properly even when in a text inset).

DNG converter don't work for some RW2-files

Hi,
i found out, that there ist now direct support from CS4 to my new Lumix LX5. :-(
In some forums i got the hint to use the free DNG converter. that works for most of the files, but some rw2's it can't convert. yesterday i made 10 pictures and the converter only identificate 7 of them. The only thing i noticeed ist, that this files are "only" 7MB. The others are 10MB. When i use irfanview to look the rw2's are no problems. the pictures are all very good. somebody an idea whats wrong with the 3?
Thanks
pittip
sorry for my english, but i hope you understand me!??

I don't know anything at all about your file format, but it sounds as if there is an option to create compressed raw files. I know Canon has this option. It may be that somehow you used this compressed option, assuming that there is one, and it may be that the DNG converter does not support the compressed raw format. If not, maybe someone else will have a better answer.
