Tables and Subforms

I have a table in a flowable subform, I need it in flowable so that it will put the header anf footer rows on the next pages as the user enters data. My problem is that the Objects on the subform, i.e. the table are al left justifying and I can't get them to move to the center where I need them to be on the form. Can anyone help please?

Hi,
When you set a subform or page to Flowed Top to Bottom, by default all of the objects are stacked in the order of the hierarchy. You cannot move them off the left side of the form, by dragging, etc.
However, you can use the object margins and content area to adjust their position.
In addition, where objects do not need to expand, you can group these in Positioned subforms.
See examples here: http://assure.ly/e2jR0C and http://assure.ly/eSGQMt. Also there is an example showing how to build dynamic tables: http://assure.ly/gk8Q7a.
Hope that helps,

Repeating Subforms within Tables and Subforms

Hi, again =)
I have another question.
I'm working with LiveCycle ES4 on a xml form (xdp).
In this form I have a table with a repeating subform within a row. And inside this subform I have another repeating subform.
It works like this: the first subform contains data of a category and the other subform contains data of a subcategory.
There can be multiple categories and within each category it's possible to have several subcategories listed.
Ok, having said that, my real problem is this one: I can set the header of the table to repeat itself each time the table breaks to the next page but I want the category to repeat also in case the parent subform breaks and I can't.
I tried a billion things to make this work, like putting a table inside a table. But I cannot make both headers to repeat themselves.
Can anyone help me with that?
..I have also another question: How can I prevent the silly single header that has no rows attached from appear in the bottom of the page?
Thanks again.
This community has been very helpful! =)

I have just been playing around with tables for a project I am currently working on and may have an idea that might work for your last problem of the orphaned header row at the bottom of the page that has no rows attached. Try making two header rows, even if they contain the same information, and, in the Pagination tab, set the first one as "Include Header Row in Initial Page" and set the second one to "Include Header Row in Subsequent Pages".
You may also find the post http://forums.adobe.com/message/5473853#5473853 of use perhaps.

Nested tables and subforms (Web Dynpro Java)

Hi to all you gurus,
my scenario is the following: I have 3 nested nodes in a view context like these
DEFECTS_NODE
|          ACTIONS_NODE
|           |        SUBS_NODE
|           |          |__action value
|           |          |__defect value
|           |          |__sub value
|           |__action value
|           |__defect value
|__defect value
|__ decription
All 3 nodes have cardinality 0...n. These nodes are structured as if we have some actions under the same defect value and some subs under the same action value and defect value and so on. so we can have more defects_node with more nested actions_node (with the same defect value) and more nested subs_node (wiith the same action value).
I hope I was clear...
Now, I have to read these nodes and output them in a pdf with 3 nested subforms (defects, actions, subs). These 3 subfoms must be a mirror of the 3 nested nodes.
can you help me??how can i do this?
thank you very much in advance,
Enrico

hello,
I don´t understand your problem. When you´re in LCD and can see your context data in the data view tab, you can just drag and drop the root of your form context and when placing that on the form layout, the whole structure should be generated by the system for you.

Tables and subforms. How to combine to create a detail list ?

Hi to all,
i need to solve this issue. I've done many tries but nothing works.
I have three tables : <tab1>, <tab2>, <tab3>. In context i tied its by where clausole so i have three nested tables. The third contains the texts for a given position.
When i drag the table on the layout i have something like this :
(1st record)
<Val Field 1>---<Val Field 2>----<Text>
<Text>
<Text>
(2nd record)
<Val Field 1>---<Val Field 2>----<Text>
<Text>
<Text>
and so on
Val Field 1 comes from the first table, Val field 2 from the second (for one record of <tab1> i have many record from <tab2>), Val field 3 from the third - text (for each record of <tab2> i have many lines of text - that means many lines of <tab3>).
(sorry for the dots but are necessary to keeping the right fomatting in order to show you an example of the standard result of the drag of the structure from the data view palette)
I'd like to have something like this :
(1st record)
<Val Field 1>-----<Val Field 2>
<Text>
<Text>
<Text>
(2nd record)
<Val Field 1>-----<Val Field 2>
<Text>
<Text>
<Text>
and so on.
I wasn't able to achieve this result and i don't know how to get it!
Someone of you could explain me with some details, how to modify the hierarchy to achieve this kind of formatting ?
Thank a lot to everyone.

Nested Tables and Multiple Pages

Hi,
I have a problem with nested tables that span multiple pages.
Lets assume I want to create a list of orders. Each order contains several order items. As long as an order contains less order items than fit to one page the list is rendered correctly. But if an order contain more items all items that can´t be displayed at the first page are cut off.
I´ve tried so many combinations of subforms with flow content and position content, subform sets and "Allow Page Breaks within Content" as well as Layout Property "Expand to fit" but nothing helped.
Can someone tell me if and how I can achieve this. In the meantime I do work in Designer directly with a XML datasource. So I could send you the form and example data.
I´m working with NW04 SP11 and Adobe Designer 6.0
Best regards
Helmut

Hello Helmut,
There are some limitations and bugs in your requirement.
Please see the output after copying into notepad.
1.Eventhough if you give overflow leader , the headers for item table will not repeat.it is a bug.this is not solved in designer 7.1 also.
2.There are some accessibilty bugs in case of nested table.
Please follow the below design in the hierachy tab.
MainTable (subform)
 |---- Header (subform)
 | |- Header texts for Main table +
 | |- Text for nested table
 |---- DATA_main (subform)
 |-Main table fields
 |-ITEMDATA ( Table SUBFORM)
 |-Header (Subform)
 | |-ItemHeader texts
 |-DATA_item (subform)
 |-Item data fields
for DATA_main and DATA_item subforms, set repeat count MIN in binding tab.Set all flow content and allow page break with in the content.
The output will appear in the following manner.
( Copy the below text into the notepad. )
Order no. text customer
 Order items
=================================================================
1 Computer Mr. Smith
 Order item no. short text quantity price
 10 PC Tower 1 400.00
 20 LCD Display 1 200.00
 30 Keyboard 1 15.00
 40 Mouse 1 10.00
2 Notebook Mrs. Parker
 Order item no. short text quantity price
 10 HP Notebook 1 600.00
 20 Ext. hard drive 1 80.00
let me know if u didnt get the solution.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Sweta,
Create the interface attributes of type string and xtring type.
Create node in the context of type graphics. bind the interface fields to the graphic node context element properties -
Graphic content, field of xzstring type and mimetype to be string/any char data type of suitable length.
In layout drag and drop the image field and bind it to the graphic element.
In yoour report programme-
do the code as berlow to pass the graphic data -
CALL METHOD cl_ssf_xsf_utilities=>get_bds_graphic_as_bmp
EXPORTING
p_object = 'GRAPHICS'
p_name = '<mime type graphic name>'
p_id = 'BMAP'
p_btype = 'BCOL' "BMON if monochrome
RECEIVING

OTHERS = 3.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ENDIF.
in the call <form function module>
pass the inerface values for
xstring (graphic field) to be w_binary (import parameter of the previous method)
and mime type to be 'image/bmp'.
This would work.
Hope fully you may be able to see a tutorial on this soon ;).

I want to understand how to make the sum cell only show the total of visible rows...
I don't think you can do that directly. SUM will include hidden rows. But you can use SUMIF and SUMIFS.
An example using SUMIF:
An example using SUMIFS:
Instead of putting SUMIF and SUMIFS in a separate summary table, you could also put them in Footer Rows of your data table.

Centering tables in subforms

Hi,
I'm trying to center a table that is in a subform. I select the table and go to Layout>Center in page, but horizontally and vertically is grayed out?
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I think it may just be the way you are selecting the table.
If you select the table right at the edge, then the eight anchor points are visible. The layout commands are avaiable to you.
If you select the cells / rows / columns of the table instead (so that the table is coloured blue), then the commands will not be available.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Table and related table keys

Hi,
Have two tables, related, and wish to not use form / subform to handle relationship.
What is the best way to assign PK in primary table to FK in related table?

Have two tables, related, and wish to not use form / subform to handle relationship.
What is the best way to assign PK in primary table to FK in related table?
Hi Leon,
I don't know what the underlying thought of your question. And also why you do not wish to use the form / subform relationship. I think you mean the parent-child relation? In all my applications I do not use that parent-child relation either. In fact
what is normally used as a subform is in my systematics another main form. This gives me the possibility to "walk along relations" in a two-way direction, for any relation.
I am sure there are more best ways for the PK. For every table I use an autonumber PK. The FK in a related table is of type long. I have experienced that the shorter the key is, the faster the retrieval is. And the long type is in my opinion the
best.
Using a strict naming convention for the field of the PK related to its table, and the field of the FK, I have managed that all relations are generated completely automatic.

How to use one query against multiple table and recieve one report?

I have duplicate tables, (except for their names of course) with commodities prices. They have the same column headings, but the data is different of course. I have a query that gives me a certain piece of information I am looking for but now I need to run this query against every table. I will do this every day as well, to see if the buying criteria is met. There are alot of tables though (256). Is there a way to say run query in all tables and return the results in one place? Thanks for your help.

hey
a. the all 256 tables whuld be one big partitoned table
b. you can use all_tables in order to write a select that will write the report for you:
SQL> set head off
SQL> select 'select * from (' from dual
2 union all
3 select 'select count(*) from ' || table_name || ' union all ' from a
4 where table_name like 'DB%' AND ROWNUM <= 3

6 select ')' from dual;
select * from (
select count(*) from DBMS_LOCK_ALLOCATED union all
select count(*) from DBMS_ALERT_INFO union all
select count(*) from DBMS_UPG_LOG$ union all
remove the last 'union all', and tun the generated quary -

How to disable a single cell in a table (and not the whole column)

Hi there,
I've got a webdynpro table with a few columns, rows can be created dynamically through a button in the table toolbar.
Depending on the value of a certain cell I have to disable another cell (in the same row).
I tried to manipulate the view in the modifyview but no joy. I also tried to manipulate the attribute property through the coding below:
DATA lv_knttp TYPE knttp.
lo_nd_kostl = wd_context->path_get_node( path = `MULTIVALUES.KOSTL` ).
lo_el_kostl = lo_nd_kostl->get_element( ).
lo_el_kostl->set_attribute_property(
attribute_name = 'LTEXT'
property = lo_el_kostl->e_property-enabled
value = ''
but it disables the whole column!!!! I just need the cell to be disabled (I thought the code above, through the lead selection, would affect a certain cell only - but I was wrong).
Any ideas?
Thanks!!!

Hi,
using cell variants you can do this.,
check this article: [Cell Variants in WDA|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDABAP/WebDynproforABAPCellVariants]
Instead of binding the read only property of table as a whole , just bind the read only property of column group of table., You can do this bu drill down the table and select the required column and bind the read only column.,
then In onAction Event of button .,
loop the table, if condition satisfied set the read only property to true else false.,!!
hope this helps u.,
Thanks & regards,

How to Bind a Combo Box so that it retrieves and display content corresponding to the Id in a link table and populates itself with the data in the main table?

I am developing a desktop application in Wpf using MVVM and Entity Frameworks. I have the following tables:
1. Party (PartyId, Name)
2. Case (CaseId, CaseNo)
3. Petitioner (CaseId, PartyId) ............. Link Table
I am completely new to .Net and to begin with I download Microsoft's sample application and
following the pattern I have been successful in creating several tabs. The problem started only when I wanted to implement many-to-many relationship. The sample application has not covered the scenario where there can be a any-to-many relationship. However
with the help of MSDN forum I came to know about a link table and managed to solve entity framework issues pertaining to many-to-many relationship. Here is the screenshot of my application to show you what I have achieved so far.
And now the problem I want the forum to address is how to bind a combo box so that it retrieves Party.Name for the corresponding PartyId in the Link Table and also I want to populate it with Party.Name so that
users can choose one from the dropdown list to add or edit the petitioner.

Hello Barry,
Thanks a lot for responding to my query. As I am completely new to .Net and following the pattern of Microsoft's Employee Tracker sample it seems difficult to clearly understand the concept and implement it in a scenario which is different than what is in
the sample available at the link you supplied.
To get the idea of the thing here is my code behind of a view vBoxPetitioner:
<UserControl x:Class="CCIS.View.Case.vBoxPetitioner"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:v="clr-namespace:CCIS.View.Case"
xmlns:vm="clr-namespace:CCIS.ViewModel.Case"
mc:Ignorable="d"
d:DesignWidth="300"
d:DesignHeight="200">
<UserControl.Resources>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type vm:vmPetitioner}">
<v:vPetitioner Margin="0,2,0,0" />
</DataTemplate>
</UserControl.Resources>
<Grid>
<HeaderedContentControl>
<HeaderedContentControl.Header>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Right">
<TextBlock Margin="2">
<Hyperlink Command="{Binding Path=AddPetitionerCommand}">Add Petitioner</Hyperlink>
| <Hyperlink Command="{Binding Path=DeletePetitionerCommand}">Delete</Hyperlink>
</TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</HeaderedContentControl.Header>
<ListBox BorderThickness="0" SelectedItem="{Binding Path=CurrentPetitioner, Mode=TwoWay}" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=tblParties}" />
</HeaderedContentControl>
</Grid>
</UserControl>
This part is working fine as it loads another view that is vPetioner perfectly in the manner I want it to be.
Here is the code of vmPetitioner, a ViewModel:
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System.Collections.ObjectModel
Imports System
Imports CCIS.Model.Party
Namespace CCIS.ViewModel.Case
''' <summary>
''' ViewModel of an individual Email

Private petitioner As tblParty
''' <summary>
''' Initializes a new instance of the EmailViewModel class.

''' <param name="detail">The underlying Email this ViewModel is to be based on</param>
Public Sub New(ByVal detail As tblParty)
If detail Is Nothing Then
Throw New ArgumentNullException("detail")
End If
Me.petitioner = detail
End Sub
''' <summary>
''' Gets the underlying Email this ViewModel is based on
''' </summary>
Public Overrides ReadOnly Property Model() As tblParty
Get
Return Me.petitioner
End Get
End Property
''' <summary>
''' Gets or sets the actual email address

Public Property fldPartyId() As String
Get
Return Me.petitioner.fldPartyId
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
Me.petitioner.fldPartyId = value
Me.OnPropertyChanged("fldPartyId")
End Set
End Property
End Class
End Namespace
And below is the ViewMode vmParty which vmPetitioner Inherits:
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System
Imports System.Collections.Generic
Imports CCIS.Model.Case
Imports CCIS.Model.Party
Imports CCIS.ViewModel.Helpers
Namespace CCIS.ViewModel.Case

Public Property fldName() As String
Get
Return Me.Model.fldName
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
Me.Model.fldName = value
Me.OnPropertyChanged("fldName")
End Set
End Property
''' <summary>
''' Constructs a view model to represent the supplied ContactDetail
''' </summary>
''' <param name="detail">The detail to build a ViewModel for</param>
''' <returns>The constructed ViewModel, null if one can't be built</returns>
Public Shared Function BuildViewModel(ByVal detail As tblParty) As vmParty
If detail Is Nothing Then
Throw New ArgumentNullException("detail")
End If
Dim e As tblParty = TryCast(detail, tblParty)
If e IsNot Nothing Then
Return New vmPetitioner(e)
End If
Return Nothing
End Function
End Class
End Namespace
And final the code behind of the view vPetitioner:
<UserControl x:Class="CCIS.View.Case.vPetitioner"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:vm="clr-namespace:CCIS.ViewModel.Case"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Width="300">
<UserControl.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary Source=".\CompactFormStyles.xaml" />
</UserControl.Resources>
<Grid>
<Border Style="{StaticResource DetailBorder}">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Text="Petitioner:" />
<ComboBox Grid.Column="1" Width="240" SelectedValuePath="." SelectedItem="{Binding Path=tblParty}" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=PetitionerLookup}" DisplayMemberPath="fldName" />
</Grid>
</Border>
</Grid>
</UserControl>
The problem, presumably, seems to be is that the binding path "PetitionerLookup" of the ItemSource of the Combo box in the view vPetitioner exists in a different ViewModel vmCase which serves as an ObservableCollection for MainViewModel. Therefore,
what I need to Know is how to route the binding path if it exists in a different ViewModel?
Sir, I look forward to your early reply bringing a workable solution to the problem I face.
Warm Regards,

What the difference and use between   of TABLES and SY-REPID?

Hi,
Experts,
I have came accross 2 cases that i can't able understand
EX1:
TABLES: VBAP   -
>( Here also Appplication Server(AS) creates Wrokarea of Structure VBAP but, by
data: v_vbeln like vbap-vbeln.    double clicking on variable v_vbeln AS taking me to DDIC VBAP table VBELN field then what the using declaring tables. )
( and )
DATA: VBAP TYPE VBAP -->( Here also Appplication Server(AS) creates Wrokarea of Structure VBAP data: v_vbeln like vbap-vbeln.    but,double clicking on variable v_vbeln AS taking me to user declared VBAP
                                              i.e., above DATA declaration statement )
Then Which one is better in Functionality wise as well as Performance wise or when we have to go for TABLES and when we have to go for DATA declaration of DDIC objects.
EX2:
what the difference between
I know that SY_REPID is not a system variable. And also that
Data: vrepid type SY_REPID.--> Predefined data type in ABAP
and
Data: vrepid like SY_REPID.-> Predefined Constatnt in ABAP( it is a constant it allowing with out VALUE
attribute)
what difference between them and when we have to go Data: vrepid type SY_REPID and when we have to go Data: vrepid like SY_REPID.
Thank U,
Shabeer Ahmed.

Hi Ahmed,
TABLES:
VBAP.   " DDIC
DATA:
v_vbeln like vbap-vbeln.
*Here you are using the DDIC VBAP
DATA:
VBAP TYPE VBAP.
DATA:
vbeln like vbap-vbeln.
*Here you are using the local data object as your data type so it will always
* take you to user declared VBAP which is declared by you.
DATA:
T_VBAP TYPE VBAP.
DATA:
vbeln like vbap-vbeln.
* here its using T_VBAP not DDIC VBAP
And for performance always the second option is better, use Data instead of tables, declare your own local structure.
Data:
vrepid type SY_REPID. thereis nop redefined data type in ABAP as SY_REPID
* its SY-REPID which is a system variable.
Data:
vrepid type SY-REPID.
Also refer to the links:
Difference between tables statement and by using type statement
for type and like:
