Switch statement in Indicator field

Switch(([Baseline Cost] - [Actual Cost])/[Baseline Cost] *100 >, "1",
([Baseline Cost] - [Actual Cost])/[Baseline Cost] *100 >10 and ([Baseline Cost] - [Actual Cost])/[Baseline Cost] *100 <20,"2"))
I have set indicator 1 as green and 2 as red nothing working
Regards, Syed Faizan ur Rehman, CBPM®,PRINCE2®, MCTS

Thus this should work:
Switch(
( [Baseline Cost] - [Actual Cost] ) / [Baseline Cost] * 100 <
20 , 1,
( [Baseline Cost] - [Actual Cost] ) / [Baseline Cost] * 100 >
10 , 2,
True, 3
Hope this helps,

Not sure why you want to se IIF as Switch is more compact
Anyways it will look like this
=IIf(
Fields!createdonValue.Value = Now(), "Today",IIf(
Fields!createdonValue.Value = DateAdd("d",-1,Today()),"Yesterday",Iif(
Fields!createdonValue.Value >= FORMATDATETIME(DateAdd(DateInterval.Day, -6,DateAdd(DateInterval.Day, 1-Weekday(today),Today)),DATEFORMAT.ShortDate) and
Fields!createdonValue.Value <= FORMATDATETIME(DateAdd(DateInterval.Day, -0,DateAdd(DateInterval.Day, 1-Weekday(today),Today)),DATEFORMAT.ShortDate),"Last Week",IIf(
Fields!createdonValue.Value >= FORMATDATETIME(DateAdd(DateInterval.Day, -13,DateAdd(DateInterval.Day, 1-Weekday(today),Today)),DATEFORMAT.ShortDate) and
Fields!createdonValue.Value <= FORMATDATETIME(DateAdd(DateInterval.Day, -0,DateAdd(DateInterval.Day, 1-Weekday(today),Today)),DATEFORMAT.ShortDate),"Last Fortnight",IIf(
Fields!createdonValue.Value >= DateValue(DateAdd("M",-1,DateAdd("D",-(Day(Now)-1),Now))) and
Fields!createdonValue.Value <= DateValue(DateAdd("D",-1,DateAdd("D",-(Day(Now)-1),Now))),"Last Month",IIf(
Fields!createdonValue.Value >= DateSerial(Year(Now()), 1, 1) and
Fields!createdonValue.Value <= DateSerial(Year(Now()), 12, 31),"Year to Date")))))

How to outer join indicator field?

Hello,
I have a table Users with the fields id and status.
I have a table Domains with the fields type, id, text.
I have mapped the class User to the table Users.
I have mapped the class Domain to the table Domains (root descriptor).
I have mapped the class UserStatus that extends Domain to the table Domains (child descriptor).
I have set indicator value for the class UserStatus "USER_STATUS".
Assume that I execute ReadAllQuery to fetch all users and I want to order them by status text, I write something like
query.addOrdering(expressionBuilder.get("status").get("text").ascending());or
query.addOrdering(expressionBuilder.getAllowingNull("status").get("text").ascending());The problem is that the user is not fetched if its status is null, because the SQL statement generated uses inner join to join indicator field with the value, that is, SQL contains ...type = ? ..., I would like (+) operator to appear in the statement so that it would be ... type (+) = ?.
Do you know if there is a way to force TopLink to perform outer joins on indicator fields?

Using getAllowingNull should do this using an outer join. If you are not seeing this, please include your full query code and the SQL generated and your database platform.

Editable textbox with text from switch statement.

I'm trying to make form that has text fields that get pre-populated based upon dropdown choices. I tried to use else/if statements, but I was advised to use a switch statement. The problem is that I NEED the end-user to be able to make changes to the textbox that is created/generated from the switch statement. For example I have the code below. It will switch the text in the textbox perfectly when I choose different items in the AddtlServicesDrop1 box. But I need the end-user to be able to add more info to the "promotes roots" text....but everytime I type text into the box it disappears when a new cell/item is clicked. Can anybody give me some help?
//Custom Calculate script
(function () {
    var Description1 = getField("AddtlServicesDrop1").value;
    switch (Description1) {
    case "Soil Test" : event.value = "To apply the right kind and amount of fertilizer. I need to test your soil. Our soil test will determine pH and nutrient needs (lime, sulfur, phosphorus, & potassium)."; break;
    case "Heavy Core Aeration": event.value = "Promotes roots"; break;
    case "Seeding": event.value = "Thin spots"; break;
    case "Lawn Disease Control Program" : event.value = "Prevent Disease"; break;
    case "Perimeter Pest Control": event.value = "Prevent Ants"; break;
    default: event.value = "";

Use equals instead of ==
String temp = textFieldCountry.getText();
if (temp .equals("Netherlands"))
return true;
else
return false;

Multiple rawValues and switch statements - can you do this?

Hi, a simple question (i hope)
first i have to use javascript for his one....
Im just starting a form and it will have about a dozen dropdown lists (over about 15 pages), each with quite a few variables (i feel a headache coming on already...)
and what i would like to be able to do is have text fields at the end of the form (hidden) and insert data into them depending on what combination of choices the user has made in some or all of the dropdown lists.
I know how to get a standard switch statement to work fine but can you (and if so what is the syntax like) do this with multiple lists - and what event would be best to link it to - calculate perhaps?
the switch would be using stored variables and user entered data to produce composite output to the text field (so case: listA.rawvalue = 1 and listB.rawvalue = nine, and listC.rawvalue = cat etc etc [then] this.rawvalue = v1.value + listB.rawvalue etc.....
I'm sure you get the issue im struggling with - I've tried it a few ways but my syntax must be off somewhere
can anyone assist with the syntax for this kind of thing --or a sample would be fantastic.
cheers

Hey Legallogic!
I'm not 100% certain I understand what you are struggling with but I'd be happy to help. If you could provide an alternate explanation of your issue I'll take a look and help you solve it. What I *think* you're asking about is in reference to the test case of a switch statement. Typically a switch would be used to test the value of one particular variable, so:
switch (varTest)
     case "A":
          //Do something here
          break;
     case "B":
          //Do something else here
          break;
     default:
          //Do something cool here instead
          break;
Are you asking how to use a single switch to test the value of multiple variables (or fields)? If so, my recommendation would be to simply use and if/else if/else block as you can craft your test cases however you'd like for those.
Like I said, I may not have understood the issue here so feel free to shoot me an email and I'll take a peek!

BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN not Updating Special stock indicator field

Hi Experts
I am using BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN to create and then update a Customer Service Order. When am trying to update the Special stock indicator field in the Components Tab(of IW32) through BAPI, its not doing so, and no error is thrown as well.
The required qty and the batch field in the components tab get updated which ensures that the logic am using is the correct one.
Please let me know if anyone has faced such a situation before. Any workaround(some other FM) to update this field is also welcome.
Points guaranteed.
Thanks
Kulpreet Singh.

Hi!
BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN is only updating a field, when you set the update flag also in CHANGE method.
So if you are maintainig the IT_COMPONENT table, you have to put an 'X' into the same field in the IT_COMPONENT_UP table also.
And of course don't forget to commit the modification.

HELP -menu using a switch statement

Hello to all. I'm new to the Java world, but currently taking my first Java class online. Not sure if this is the right place, but I need some help. In short I need to write a program that gives the user a menu to chose from using a switch statement. The switch statement should include a while statement so the user can make more than one selection on the menu and provide an option to exit the program.
With in the program I am to give an output of all counting numbers (6 numbers per line).
Can anyone help me with this?? If I'm not asking the right question please let me know or point me in the direction that can help me out.
Thanks in advance.
Here is what I have so far:
import java.util.*;
public class DoWhileDemo
     public static void main(String[] args)
          int count, number;
          System.out.println("Enter a number");
          Scanner keyboard = new Scanner (System.in);
          number = keyboard.nextInt();
          count = number;
          do
               System.out.print(count +",");
               count++;
          }while (count <= 32);
          System.out.println();
          System.out.println("Buckle my shoe.");
}

Thanks for the reply. I will tk a look at the link that was provided. However, I have started working on the problem, but can't get the 6 numbers per line. I am trying to figure out the problem in parts. Right now I'm working on the numbers, then the menu, and so on.
Should I tk this approach or another?
Again, thanks for the reply.

Use of boolean variables in BPEL switch statements

I have a workflow with a single boolean input parameter:
<element name="input" type="boolean"/>
I wish to use a switch statement within the workflow, based on the value of that boolean parameter.
When I use the following XPath expression:
bpws:getVariableData("input","payload","/tns:BooleanRequest/tns:input")
I get the correct functionality, although I get the following BPEL compiler warning:
" [bpelc] [Warning ORABPEL-10078]: return value of this expression may not be a boolean
[bpelc] [Description]: in line 35 of "C:\eclipse\workspace\Boolean\Boolean.bpel", xpath expression "bpws:getVariableData("input","payload","/tns:BooleanRequest/tns:input")" used in <switch> may not return boolean type value, the xpath engine would automatically try to convert the return value to boolean..
[bpelc] [Potential fix]: Please use one of the built-in boolean functions from xpath http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#section-Boolean-Functions to convert the return value to boolean.."
However, the boolean functions referenced do not appear to be relevant to a variable which is already of a boolean type. If I attempt to use the boolean() function in my XPath expression, I get rid of the compiler error, but the workflow now does not work as required.
How can I get rid of the compiler warning and still get the required functionality, and/or am I doing the wrong thing?
I am currently running on JBoss, with BPEL release 2.1.2 [build #1226].
Thanks for any help or ideas.

Hi Marlon,
Thanks for that - I guess we have to accept the vagaries of XPath and the absence of type-checking for variables.
I hadn't fully understood until I started investigating that I can assign ANY string to variable of type xsd:boolean, which has been the cause of some of the confusion for me - whether that value is then considered true or false depends on how you write your test condition.
I tried with your condition, and it didn't seem to work (evaluated to true if the variable data was the string "true()", but otherwise it seemed to always evaluate to false.
I also tried the following:
condition="bpws:getVariableData('booleanVariable')=true()"
but that evaluates to true for any string of length > 0.
The only one I can get to consistently work is:
condition="bpws:getVariableData('booleanVariable')=string(true())"
although that means that variable data of "TRUE" will evaluate to false (may well be the correct behaviour, depending on how you're setting the boolean variable in the first place).

Compiler error when useing switch statements in an inner class

I have defined several constants in a class and want to use this constans also in an inner class.
All the constants are defined as private static final int.
All works fine except when useing the switch statement in the inner class. I get the compiler error ""constant expression required". If I change the definition from private static final to protected static final it works, but why?
What's the difference?
Look at an example:
public class Switchtest
   private static final int AA = 0;
   protected static final int BB = 1;
   private static int i = 0;
   public Switchtest()
      i = 0; // <- OK
      switch(i)
         case AA: break; //<- OK, funny no problem
         case BB: break; //<- OK
         default: break;
private class InnerClass
      public InnerClass()
         i = 0; // <- OK: is accessible
         if (AA == i) // <- OK: AA is seen by the inner class; i is also accessible
            i = AA + 1;
         switch(i)
            case AA: break; // <- STRANGE?! Fail: Constant expression required
            case BB: break; // <- OK
            default: break;
}Thank's a lot for an explanation.

Just a though:
Maybe some subclass of Switchtest could decalare its own variable AA that is not final, but it can not declare its own BB because it is visible from the superclass. Therefore the compiler can not know for sure that AA is final.

Enum class not supported for switch() statement in 12.4 beta?

Hi fellow 12.4 beta testers,
It would appear "enum class" isn't supported for switch() statements in the 12.4 beta. This compiles fine under clang and g++. Will this be fixed for the final release? This currently causes compile errors for us, since __cplusplus >= 201103L evaluates to true, so our code uses "enum class" instead of plain "enum". It looks like the C++11 standard says it should be supported:

Many thanks,

Thanks for reporting this problem! I have filed bug 18499900.
BTW, according to the C++11 standard, the code is actually not valid. Section 6.4.2, switch statement, says an implicit conversion to an integral type is required, which is not the case for for a scoped enum (one using the "class enum" syntax). This limitation was raised in the C++ Committee as an issue to be fixed, and the C++14 standard makes the code valid.
As a workaround, or to make the code conform to C++11, you can add casts to int for the enum variable and the enumerators.

Switch Statement again

I am new to Java and am trying to learn how to use and understand the nuances involved in using the Switch statment.
Yesterday, I received tremendous help, As a result, I am closer to understanding the switch statement and how it works.
My program is designed to use 5 different input boxes. These represent a total for quizzes, homework assignments, 2 midterms, and a final exam.
These are casted to double; then, they are added together and divided by five to obtain an average (the student's GPA). The GPA is then going to assigned a grade depending up the range in the If then statement.
I intend on using a message box to inform the user of the GPA and another followed by another message box to show them their grade.
I would like to incorporate the switch statement (so I can learn how to use it) to show them their grade.
I know the code needs tweaking but this is what I have so far:
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Switchgrade{
//declaration of class
public static void main(String args[])
//declaration of main
String midone; String midtwo; String quiz; String homework; //declares variables to hold the grades, quiz and homework scores
String last;
double one; //first midterm
double two; //second midterm
double three;double four; double five; //final, quiz and homework scores
double average; //GPA
char a; char b; char c; char d; char f;char grade;
midone = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter the first midterm"); //first score to add
one = Double.parseDouble(midone);
midtwo = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("please enter second midterm"); //second midterm to add
two = Double.parseDouble(midtwo);
last = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("please enter final exam score");//final exam score to add
three = Double.parseDouble(last);
quiz = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("please enter quiz score");//quiz score to add
four = Double.parseDouble(quiz);
homework= JOptionPane.showInputDialog("please enter homework score");//homework score to add
five = Double.parseDouble(homework);
average = (one + two+ three + four + five)/5; //average of all five scores
if(average >= 90)
grade = 'a';
else
if(average >= 80 )
grade = 'b';
switch (grade)
case a:
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"The total of all your scores is " + b+"\nYour final grade is an A");
break;
default:
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Sorry, you received a grade of " + b + ". \nYou failed.");
break;
System.exit(0);
}//end of main
}//end of class
As you can see, I am only using two grades, just so I can learn to use it. However, when I go to compile this, I get this error message:
constant expression required: case a:, with the ^ under the a.
What does this error message me and how do I fix this.
Thanks in advance for your help.

case a:is trying to use a variable with the name "a" for the comparison. This is illegal in java
what you want is
case 'a':this will do a comparison against the char value 'a'

Switch Statement

I am new to Java and am trying to learn how to use and understand the nuances involved in using the Switch statment.
I am trying to write an application that will calculate grades for a student. I can use the If Then Else Control structure for this (which runs) but I would like to incorporate the Switch Statement in place of the multiple if then else structure. Here is the code that I have for the application:
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Switchgrades
public static void main(String args[])
String midone; String midtwo; String quiz; String homework;
String last;
double one; //first midterm
double two; //second midterm
double three;double four; double five; //final, quiz and homework scores
double average; //GPA
int a; int b; double c; double d; double f;int grade;
midone = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter the first midterm"); //first score to add
one = Double.parseDouble(midone);
midtwo = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("please enter second midterm"); //second midterm to add
two = Double.parseDouble(midtwo);
last = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("please enter final exam score");//final exam score to add
three = Double.parseDouble(last);
quiz = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("please enter quiz score");//quiz score to add
four = Double.parseDouble(quiz);
homework= JOptionPane.showInputDialog("please enter homework score");//homework score to add
five = Double.parseDouble(homework);
average = (one + two+ three + four + five)/5; //average of all five scores
switch (grade)
case a: //this is where I become confused and lost. I don't what I need to do to make it run.
{if(average >= 90)
b = Integer.parseInt(average);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"The total of all your scores is " + b+"\nYour final grade is an A");}
/ I am just using one choice to make it run. When I can make it run, I plan on incorporating the other grades.
break;
<=====================================================================>
<=====================================================================>
//else --->this is part of the if that works in another program
// if(average >= 80 )
// JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"The total of all your scores is " + average +"\nYour final grade is a B");
//else
//if(average >= 70 )
// JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"The total of all your scores is " + average +"\nYour final grade is a C");
//else
//if(average >= 60 )
// JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"The total of all your scores is " + average +"\nYour final grade is a D");
//else
//if(average <= 60 )
<=====================================================================>
<=====================================================================>
default:
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Sorry, you received a grade of " + average + ". \nYou failed.");
System.exit(0);
As you can see, I already have all the if then else statements set up--between the <==>. The program runs with the If's but I can two error messages when I incorporate the Switch statement.
1) constant expression required.
I have case a and i guess it is not a constant. Again, I don't understand switch well enough to figure what I need to do to correct it.
2)"b = Integer.parseInt(average);" - cannot resolve the symbol--whatever that means. I have a "^" pointing at the period between Integer and parseInt.
Can anyone help explain what I have to do to make this program work using Switch.
I have not used Switch before and don't understand what I can use as opposed to what I must use for it to work.
Thanks for your help.

I don't really know how you want your program going, but here is what I think.
1) From the start of the switch statement, where do you assign the value for "grade"? If you write the switch statement like below, you meant something like, if(grade == 'a'){...}, right!? Then, where did you get the "grade" from?
switch (grade)
case a:
You may want declare variable "grade" as char and place if sentence like this before the switch.
if(average >= 90)
grade = 'a';
else if(average >= 70)
grade = 'b';
switch (grade)
case a:
System.out.print("Your grade: A");
break;
case b:
System.out.print("Your grade: A");
break;
Is that What you want???
2)The method, Integer.parseInt(), takes String as parameter? Did you override this method? The variable "average" was declare as double, so why don't you just cast it to int??

Using a Switch statement for Infix to Prefix Expressions

I am stuck on the numeric and operator portion of the switch statement...I have the problem also figured out in an if/else if statement and it works fine, but the requirements were for the following algorithm:
while not end of expression
switch next token of expression
case space:
case left parenthesis:
skip it
case numeric:
push the string onto the stack of operands
case operator:
push the operator onto the stack of operators
case right parenthesis:
pop two operands from operand stack
pop one operator from operator stack
form a string onto operand stack
push the string onto operand stack
pop the final result off the operand stack
I know that typically case/switch statement's can only be done via char and int's. As I said I am stuck and hoping to get some pointers. This is for a homework assignment but I am really hoping for a few pointers. I am using a linked stack class as that was also the requirements. Here is the code that I have:
   import java.io.*;
   import java.util.*;
   import java.lang.*;

        // Class variable for keyboard input
      private static BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
         // Repeatedly reads in infix expressions and evaluates them
       public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
      // variables
         String expression, response = "y";
      // obtain input of infix expression from user
         while (response.charAt(0) == 'y') {
            System.out.println("Enter a parenthesized infix expression.");          // prompt the user
            System.out.println("Example: ( ( 13 + 2 ) * ( 10 + ( 8 / 3 ) ) )");
            System.out.print("Or as: ((13+2)*(10+(8/3))): ");
            expression = stdin.readLine();     // read input from the user
         // output prefix expression and ask user if they would like to continue
            System.out.println("The Prefix expression is: " + prefix(expression));     // output expression

so, i did what flounder suggested:
         char e = expression.charAt(0);
         while (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()) {
            symbol = tokenizer.nextToken();     // initialize symbol
            switch (e) {
               case ' ':
                  break;     // accounting for spaces
               case '(':
                  break;     // skipping the left parenthesis
               case '0':
               case '1':
               case '2':
               case '3':
               case '4':
               case '5':
               case '6':
               case '7':
               case '8':
               case '9':
                  operands.push(symbol);     // push the string onto the stack of operands

                  break;                               // case operator
               case ')':
                  operandA = (String)operands.pop();     // pop off first operand

                  operands.push(stringA);
                  break;
               default:
            }     // end switch statement
         }     // end while statement
         outcome = (String)operands.pop();     // pop off the outcome
         return outcome;     // return outcomeafter this, I am able to compile the code free of errors and I am able to enter the infix expression, however, the moment enter is hit it provides the following errors:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
     at LinkedStack$Node.access$100(LinkedStack.java:11)
     at LinkedStack.pop(LinkedStack.java:44)
     at infixToPrefix.prefix(infixToPrefix.java:119)
     at infixToPrefix.main(infixToPrefix.java:59)
Any ideas as to why? I am still looking through seeing if I can't figure it out, but any suggestions? Here is the linked stack code:
    public class LinkedStack {
   /*--------------- LINKED LIST NODE ---------------*/
       private class Node {
         private Object data;
         private Node previous;
      }     // end class node
   /*-------------- VARIABLES --------------*/
      private Node top;
/*-- Push Method: pushes object onto LinkedStack --*/
       public void push(Object data) {
         Node newTop = new Node();
         newTop.data = data;
         newTop.previous = top;
         top = newTop;
      }     // end function push
   /*--- Pop Method: pop obejct off of LinkedStack ---*/
       public Object pop()      {
         Object data = top.data;
         top = top.previous;
         return data;
      }     // end function pop
   } // end class linked stackEdited by: drmsndrgns on Mar 12, 2008 8:10 AM
