Syntax to save as PCX

What is the scripting syntax (ideally, VBscript) to save a photoshop file as PCX? I could not find a SaveAs object for it like there is for TIF or JPG.

Actually …
DOM code may look cleaner and to me it is certainly more easy to understand but it is not necessarily more direct.
If you want to test this you can measure the time the same series of operations takes in DOM and in AM – usually DOM is slower (not always, though).

Save as PCX

I'm currently work with an old script I found here on the forums. Originally found here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/488255
I've toyed with it a bit but to no avail, since I have no idea what I am doing.
Basically I want one of the output options to be .PCX format.

I purely guessed that this was the line of script to save as a PCX file but it didn't work upon execution. It isolates a group to save but then just stops.
function SavePCX(saveFile){
pcxSaveOptions = new PCXSaveOptions();
activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, pcxSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);
I've been looking everywhere for an answer, but it seems like not one has ever had to have a script like this. I'm running CS6 of that helps.

I'm not familiar with this coding whatsoever, so I just guessed based on PNG's save function. I copy pasted and guessed hoping it would work.

I guess you should record a PCX-save with ScriptingListener.plugin and then use the resulting Action Manager-code wrapped in a function.
I used the recommended plugin and got this in the log:
var idsave = charIDToTypeID( "save" );
 var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
 var idAs = charIDToTypeID( "As " );
 desc2.putString( idAs, """PCX""" );
 var idIn = charIDToTypeID( "In " );
 desc2.putPath( idIn, new File( "Y:\\RSP001.pcx" ) );
 var idDocI = charIDToTypeID( "DocI" );
 desc2.putInteger( idDocI, 314 );
 var idsaveStage = stringIDToTypeID( "saveStage" );
 var idsaveStageType = stringIDToTypeID( "saveStageType" );
 var idsaveBegin = stringIDToTypeID( "saveBegin" );
 desc2.putEnumerated( idsaveStage, idsaveStageType, idsaveBegin );
executeAction( idsave, desc2, DialogModes.NO );
I have no clue what I am looking for.

Save targa, pcx files in photoshop E.13. (testversion).

hello, i've downloaded the testversion of photoshop elements 13. could it be that there are no possibility to save targa or pcx files in the testversion? there are only 9 selectable types, but no targa or pcx. i work mostly with them and i need to know, if this problem will be solved if i buy the product? thanks a lot for your answers

Hi,
There is no difference in functionality between the trial version and an activated purchased version.
I think you will need the full blown Photoshop not the cut down elements version.

Trouble with saveAS

I am having a problem with a javascript function. I can save as a Tiff with no problem - but now I would like to have another option that allows my users to save data as a PDF file. I can't seem to get it to work for a PDF file. The save as TIFF syntax - works fine .. CODE SNIPPET HERE ! <this.saveAsFile,"com.adobe.acrobat.tiff"); > I have tried leaving out a conversion that doesn't work . I have tried preflight conversions - they don't work - bcause the preflight dll is non-existent . is there an easy solution that I am overlooking ?

Well, the syntax for saveAs in Acrobat JavaScript is actually
this.saveAs(path, conversionID)
So try that syntax, unless you have a folder-level function defining "saveAsFile", in which case we'd need to see that function to know what's going on.

Jacob - save outlook message as .msg file

Hi,
I need to save an outlook mail item as a .msg file using Jacob.
In C# I would use the syntax
mail.SaveAs(savePathAndName, Outlook.OlSaveAsType.olMSG) where 'mail' is an outlook mailitem, the first parameter is a string and the second parameter is a type.
In Jacob I've tried various combinations of
Variant saveResult = Dispatch.call(mailItem, "SaveAs", "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlSaveAsType.olMSG");
with no success
Any ideas?

RCF

Variant saveResult = Dispatch.call(mailItem, "SaveAs", directory + "newEmailName.msg");
thanks you, i found it because of you :)

Flat File to IDOC Scenario

I am working on the following scenario:
Flat CSV orders file to a Orders IDOC.
The input file has data like
a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h...
a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h...
We need to generate ONE IDOC per file. The complexity lies in the mapping.
The segments generated in the IDOC and the number of times they are generated all depends on the values of a,b and c and the segment fields are mapped to values either from the file or mapped to some constants or are figured out based on some logic depending upon what value a,b or c has and what range of values c has.
Overall, quite a complex mapping.
The way I am trying to work is:
1. Create Outbound MI ABC based on the File Structure:
<Record> 0 to unbounded
<a></a> 1..1
 1..1
<c></c> 1..1
2. Do file content conversion in Sender File adapter.
3. Import the Orders02 idoc in the IR.
4.Create a message mapping with ABC as source and Orcers02 IDOC as target.
5. Now with mapping, I am trying to use createif for every IDOC segment node. The logic is to create this node if the condition is true ( i.e a=somevalue else do not create).I am definig UDF for evaluating these conditions.
6. Then I map the fields of the generated segment node to either the values from the source or some values generated by UDFs based on some criteria.
I am still in the mapping phase and I just wanted to know if this was a correct approach to acheive this. So far, I am mapping one node and when I check in the output it works okay.
My question is :
1. I would end up using lots of UDFs for every input record and for every record of input, each UDF will be called again and again.
2. Does anyone know of any better approach to achieve this?
3. If a segment appears more than one time, let us say generate segment E1TDK01 if a=1, and a could be 1 in multiple records that means generating multiple E1TDK01 segments, is there anything that needs to be taken care of? I see in the target structure that this segment can occur 0 to 99 times, so will this segment be generated 5 times if my file had a=1 in 5 records?
Please help me understand this and any pointers to existing weblogs will also be appreciated.

Hi,
Try this and this should resolve your issue:
1. Import IDOC into repository
2. After import, download the wsdl of the imported IDOc into your file system
3. Open the wsdl and insert code at the IDOC tag ===> minOccurs=0, maxOccurs=unbounded (Pl follow correct syntax, I may not be right on syntax)
4. save the file
5. imported the modified wsdl into repository and use this one in the message mapping
6. In message mapping, messages tab change the occurances to 0 to Unbounded for the modified wsdl IDOC
7. Do the same thing in interface mapping
Hope this helps.

How do we create Explicit enhancement ?

Hi All,
How do we create Explicit enhancement, when we dont have any enhancement point or section in SAP source code.
Note: I know how to Implement point or section ..... but i like to know how can we create.
Thanks

Hi,
For your reference, let's see how to enhance a standard SAP program using an Implicit Enhancement
Option.
Let us use program RSFTP002 u2013 Itu2019s a program used to test FTP connections.
In this example, we will unmask the currently masked password field.
Open the program in the ABAP Editor (SE38).
Execute it to bring up the parameter list.
Note the asterisks in the Password field.
To view the places where we can implement these enhancements, go back to the previous page (the one
containing the code) and click on the Enhance button (before the Syntax Check button) or press Shift + F4.
Note: Enhancement options are only present in SAP WAS 7.0 and above.
Then Navigate to Edit -> Enhancement Operations -> Show Implicit Enhancement Options.
You will be shown the places where Implicit Enhancement Options are present,
There will be two such spots in this particular program u2013 One at the end of the result table definition and the other at the end of the program.
To implement an enhancement option, right click in the orange area -> Enhancement Implementation -> Create.
Choose an enhancement name (ZFTP_PWD in this case), give it a description and if needed a Composite Enhancement Implementation name and press enter.
Save it as a local object or in a package (as the case might be).
In this example, we shall change the visibility of the password field and show the password. This is done by looping at the screen and changing the invisible parameter of the PWD field to u20180u2019.
Once the Enhancement Implementation is created, the following code is inserted into the program,
$$-Start: (2)----
ENHANCEMENT 1 ZFTP_PWD.
ENDENHANCEMENT.
$$-End: (2)----
ZFTP_PWD is the name of the implementation that we gave.
1 indicates that this is the first implementation in this program.
We can put out code inside the ENHANCEMENTu2026ENDENHANCEMENT block as shown below.
Follow the usual procedure of Syntax Check, Save and Activate.
Now execute the program again to see the parameter list.
Note that anything typed in the Password field is now visible.
Hope this surely help u..

Looping to generate 2 columnar table

Hi all,
First greetings to all. I am a new member of this forum and also relatively new to XSLT.
I am trying to generate an xsl:fo file using xml document and xslt.
now, I requre 2 columnar table looping through node in xml.
To be precise it looks like following..
xml file:
<some-node>
<node-of-interest>
<sub-node1> val1 </sub-node1>
</node-of-interest>
<node-of-interest>
<sub-node1> val2 </sub-node1>
</node-of-interest>
<node-of-interest>
<sub-node1> val3 </sub-node1>
</node-of-interest> ........
</some-nodes>
output required:
|-------|----------|
|_col1_|__col2_|
|val1 | val2 |
|val3 | val4 |
|valN | |
_______ ____|
and i wanted to select row according to the fn:position() is even or the final node ....
xsl logic (not written in std syntax to save time and space )
<table>
<xsl:for-each select="some-nodes/node-of-interest" >
<if test="position() odd">
<row>
</if>
<cell>
<xsl:value-of select="sub-node1" />
</cel>
<if test="position() even or last()">
</row>
</if>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
this implementation fails because of incomplte <row> element !!!
is there any other way to loop through ... may be with the step of 2 nodes ??
....................... any help ???
thanks,
Hardik

Hi Chris,
you need to compare your model against database - import from database into same relational model and use "swap target" option - in this case "alter statements" against database will be generated.
You can look at demonstrations here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/datamodeler/demonstrations-224554.html
Probably this particular one will be most helpful http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/sqldev/importddl/importddl.html
Soon or later your changes will require table to be recreated and you'll need to backup your data - you can consider usage of "Advanced DDL" option - script will be generated that will unload the content of your table (including LOBs) to file system accessible from database and restore it after changes. Well don't try it directly on production system :).

Table controls in module pool programing

hello all,
i am a novice in ABAP. i am not able to save the details i gave in the table control. i am giving the material number(MATNR) in a seperate text box and the fileds like ERNAM,LAEDA,AENAM in the table control. but when i am saving i am able to find only the MATNR value in the mara table.
what is the syntax to save the values of the table control into the MARA table.
thanks & regards,
seenu

HI,
Step 1 : TO move the values from the screen to ABAP Program.
The values of all the input fields will be available in ABAP when PAI event is triggered. To access the values in a table control, you will need to follow the below mentioned procedure....
in PAI Event
( ITAB is Table Control and WA_ITAB is work area)
LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA_ITAB.
MODULE READ_SCRN_VALUES
ENDLOOP
MODULE READ_SCRN_VALUES INPUT
move WA_ITAB to WS_ITAB.
WS_ITAB is another Work area.
ENDMODULE
This way you can moves from screen to ABAP Program. Pass WS_ITAB and MATNR (Matnr - material number on the screen) to MARA.
After updating MARA Table, check the table to view the values of the required fields.

If you want to do an paradigm shift, have some fun with C. I think it's a good candidate to teach you about imperative programming and lower-level thinking. (When people say it's glorified assembler, there's a certain point to it.)
Sticking with Scheme I would recommend you to learn about networking and program an HTTP server. (Use HTTP/1.0 to start with.) You'll learn about text parsing, networking and as you already know HTML, it helps to broaden your knowledge. (You could write a server in C, too. http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/ is a good guide to help.)
I started to write most of my code in Python about 2 months ago, with some Common Lisp and C sprinkled in. As all I currently do is web application programming (web.py) and Project Euler, Python serves me well to quickly express whatever idea I have. Batteries included libraries and clear syntax really save you a lot of time.
On the other hand it's pretty slow, particularly if one doesn't know the runtime characteristics for functions. (For instance testing for membership in a list is O(n) while testing for membership in a set is O(1)...makes code a lot faster.)

Save style sheet failed : Transformation contains syntax error.

Hello experts,
We are facing a problem, your valuable suggestion can help us to solved the problem.
Brief on system ladsacpe. We are using XI between R/3 and SRM.
Basically we are sending PO IDoc (ORDERS02) to SRM via XI. It also successfuly passed to SRM via XI. In XI SXMB_MONI i can see the checkred flag. Now in SRM SXMB_MONI the flag becomes Red and it shows Below error when i clcik on flag.
" Save Stylesheet failed /1SAI/TXSD5BFE2D6C24B57C0071F:
Transformation /1SAI/TXSD5BFE2D6C24B57C0071F contains syntax error " *
After this error when i check XI SXMB_MONI again, the flag is chekred but Acknowledgement status has error. and the Same error i can see in XI SXMB_MONI.
I think this error is coming when acknowleding back to XI to R/3.
But dont know how to solved?
Can you guys please help.
Thanks in Advance.

When trying to save a document , it says syntax error-what does that mean and how do I fix it?

when trying to save a document that I typed, it says syntax error..what does that mean and how do I fix it so I can save my documents?

Applescript is like HTML, Actionscript, or Javascript.
SYNTAX is EVERYTHING.
Unlike HTML, Dreamweaver will pop a syntax error when trying to save a javascript that is unworkable because of a Syntax Error. Flash will do the same with a bad Actionscript.
AppleScript Editor is the same way as Dreamweaver or Flash.
The reason is:
Bad HTML - a browser simply won't load the page or it'll load it with missing or no content. Not all that bad.
Bad Javascript - your browser can lock up and if the script is complex enough, it can lock up your entire system.
Bad Actionscript - just like bad javascript, it can potentially lock your entire system.
Bad Applescript - can lock up your entire system.
With Windows, viruses are often improperly read as SYNTAX errors in Actionscript or Javascript. That's not a worry with an AppleScript, but the possibility of locking up your system is worth a warning.
You need to double check your syntax to be sure you haven't got something missing or improperly written.
