Time as User input

Hi,
We are developing a custom application with jDev 9i. EBS version - 11.5.10.
We have a screen where the user needs to enter the time (start time and end time) in HH and MM.
What is the best way to achieve this? Do we have something like the calendar for time too?
Thanks
Ashok

I remember we have done the same thing but we haven't use any calender.
What we did is we have taken two poplist 1 for hrs. and 1 for Min.
Thanks

How to calculate elapsed time based on user input

I'm not sure what to do next in this program. Basically, I'm not sure exactly how to get the time to output accurately, as in what forumla I should be using.
This is the question:
What comes 13 hours after 4 o'clock? Create an ElaspedTimeCalculator application that prompts the user for a starting hour, whether it is am or pm, and the number of elapsed hours. The application then displays the time after that many hours have passed. Application output should look similar to:
Enter the starting hour: 7
Enter am or pm: pm
Enter the number of elapsed hours: 10
The time is: 5:00 amHere's the code I have so far:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class ElapsedTimeCalculator
 public static void main(String[] args)
 int starting_hour;
 int starting_minutes; /*This is added in case the user wants to add minutes as well.*/
 String am_or_pm;
 int elapsed_hours;
 int elasped_minutes;
 int time_hours;
 int time_minutes;
 System.out.println("Welcome. This application will give you the time based on your input.");
 System.out.println(" ");
 Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
 System.out.print("Enter the starting hour: ");
 starting_hour = input.nextDouble();
 System.out.print("Enter the starting minutes: ");
 starting_minutes = input.nextDouble();
 System.out.print("Enter either 'am' or pm': ");
 am_or_pm = input.nextString();
 System.out.print("Enter the number of elapsed hours: ");
 elapsed_hours = input.nextDouble();
 input.close();
 time_hours =
 time_minutes =
 if(am_or_pm = "am" || am_or_pm = "a.m." || am_or_pm = "AM" || am_or_pm = "A.M.")
 System.out.println("The time is " + time_hours + ":" + time_minutes + "am");
 if(am_or_pm = "pm" || am_or_pm = "p.m." || am_or_pm = "PM" || am_or_pm = "P.M.")
 System.out.println("The time is " + time_hours + ":" + time_minutes + "pm");
}To calculate time_hours should I just calculate this by adding the elapsed hour to the starting hour? I doubt it will be accurate for all situations.
Same for the time_minutes For example, if the starting minutes and the elapsed minutes were 50, it would be greater than 60. Also, not sure if it makes sense to separate hours and minutes like this, it's not required to in the question. I initally thought it would be easier to approach like this instead of allowing the user to input a double for the starting hour. ex. 5.7
I get the feeling that this is extremely simple, but nonetheless, I'm stuck, so any help would be appreciated.

Well thanks to both of you. I did a little reading up on the modulus operator and coupled it with some logic (although, truthfully, I'm not really using to there actually being an application for the remainder of a division operation, since it's never really used very much in any of my Math courses) and the hours portion works perfectly now:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class ElapsedTimeCalculator
 public static void main(String[] args)
 int starting_hour;
 //int starting_minutes; /*This is added in case the user wants to add minutes as well.*/
 String am_or_pm;
 int elapsed_hours;
 //int elasped_minutes;
 System.out.println("Welcome. This application will give you the time based on your input.");
 System.out.println(" ");
 Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
 System.out.print("Enter the starting hour: ");
 starting_hour = input.nextInt();
 //System.out.print("Enter the starting minutes: ");
 //starting_minutes = input.nextInt();
 System.out.print("Enter either 'am' or pm': ");
 am_or_pm = input.next();
 System.out.print("Enter the number of elapsed hours: ");
 elapsed_hours = input.nextInt();
 input.close();
 int time_hours = 0;
 //int time_minutes;
 String meridien;
 if(am_or_pm.equals("am"))
 time_hours = (starting_hour + elapsed_hours) % 24;
 //time_minutes = (starting_minutes + elapsed_minutes) % 60;
 else if(am_or_pm.equals("am"))
 time_hours = (starting_hour + elapsed_hours) % 24;
 //time_minutes = (starting_minutes + elapsed_minutes) % 60;
 else if(am_or_pm.equals("AM"))
 time_hours = (starting_hour + elapsed_hours) % 24;
 //time_minutes = (starting_minutes + elapsed_minutes) % 60;
 else if(am_or_pm.equals("A.M."))
 time_hours = (starting_hour + elapsed_hours) % 24;
 //time_minutes = (starting_minutes + elapsed_minutes) % 60;
 else if(am_or_pm.equals("pm"))
 time_hours = (starting_hour + elapsed_hours + 12) % 24;
 //time_minutes = (starting_minutes + elapsed_minutes) % 60;
 else if(am_or_pm.equals("p.m."))
 time_hours = (starting_hour + elapsed_hours + 12) % 24;
 //time_minutes = (starting_minutes + elapsed_minutes) % 60;
 else if(am_or_pm.equals("PM"))
 time_hours = (starting_hour + elapsed_hours + 12) % 24;
 //time_minutes = (starting_minutes + elapsed_minutes) % 60;
 else if(am_or_pm.equals("P.M."))
 time_hours = (starting_hour + elapsed_hours + 12) % 24;
 //time_minutes = (starting_minutes + elapsed_minutes) % 60;
 if(time_hours < 12)
 meridien = "A.M.";
 System.out.println("The time is: " + time_hours + ":00 " + meridien);
 else if(time_hours > 12)
 meridien = "P.M.";
 System.out.println("The time is: " + time_hours + ":00 " + meridien);
}Now the only thing is the minutes. My teacher did say she wants the user to have the option to input minutes also if he/she desires, so I do need it. However, the only problem is that if say the user inputs a "starting minute" of 14 for example, and 66 minutes elapsing, then (14 + 66) int/ 60 = 1r20 but using the modulus operator would only give me 20. So how will I be able to add any extra hours if it is necessary?

Create a timer to make a variable for pause length from user input

I have an external task that varies in time based on the machine I am using, yet once that value is determined, it will remain the same while on that machine. I need to have an Applescript perform a task based on that time variable. This a repeating loop script that will need user input for the first iteration of the loop. How can I get this time variable to use in the script? I would like it to be something like this.
--script clicks OK button in the app (this is already scripted)
--timer started
--script throws up a dialog instructing user to click OK when hardware specific task is completed (has a cancel option to cancel script as well)
--when dialog box OK is clicked a time value is determined between the timer started and the dialog OK click
--time value is now a variable to call for pause between loop cycles, requiring no more user input (except an overall script cancel if needed)
is this possible?
PowerBook G4 Titanium 500 Mhz Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Yeah, it's possible. There are probably a couple ways to do it. Here's a quick one that uses a unique hardware ID. Properties persist between runs, reboots, etc. but not compiles.
click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">property delay_time : missing value
property last_mac : missing value
set test_mac to primary Ethernet address of (system info)
if test_mac is last_mac and delay_time is not missing value then
-- performclickhandler()
delay delay_time
else
set start_time to (current date)
-- performclickhandler()
display dialog "Click OK to set the timer..."
set delay_time to (current date) - start_time
set last_mac to test_mac
end if
-- rest of your script
</pre>

Refresh page but SAVE USER INPUT in tabular form WITHOUT UPDATE

Hi,
When there is a tabular form in the page and user refreshes it (in anyway) tabular form's elements are always computed with values from the table in db. Can we somehow save user input in fields so that after refreshing page user will see what he/she has typed but not submitted to db?
Regards,
Tom

Hello Andy,
Let me introduce you to the problem.
There is a tabular form based on a source table. User modifies the data and after he/she clicks Submit button the validation procedure is being run before MRU. If the result of validation is positive then MRU is run otherwise data should not be submitted to db and user should be informed about the result. Moreover, he/she should see the invalid data in fields. Not the correct one from db.
Is there any way to save a session state of these fields or of a whole tabular form? I cannot save the data in other table in db.
User cannot click 'Add row' several times in my app because after he clicks it once then the button disappears and appears again only when he/she clicks 'Submit' first (so after validation procedure).
Maybe there is some way to store fields' values in memory and then compute the form when page is loading again?
Imagine the situation that there are 100 rows in tabular form and user modifies it for one hour, clicks Submit, validation result is negative and his/her whole one hour work is lost, because the form has been refreshed according to what is stored in db. Such situation should never occur.
Regards,
Tom

How to make Flash to wait for user input

Hi,
I found this PHP script, then I made some changes to make it
FEED the Flash user interface with online user input.
The main concept of this script is WAITING for user input, so
it shows the messages and then go to next line and so on.
The user input go to directly to TEXT file which writes in
lines, each line has a unique id = (mag_id).
There "get_msge.php" which works as the middleware between
FLASH and messages text file.
The problem, its doesn’t show any data while there are
data in the text file.
Help here please, best regards.
This is the link of
problem illustartion
AS is:
// create an object to store the variables
varReceiver = new LoadVars();
// load the variables from the text file
varReceiver.load("get_msg.php?file_id=1&msg_id=1",
"POST");
// trigger something - when the variables finish loading
varReceiver.onLoad = function(){
//the variables have finished loading
if (this.msg_id == 1) {
_root.xmsg1_swf.text = this.msg;
_root.xmsg1_ch.text = this.msg;
gotoAndPlay("line2");
} else {WAIT }
PHP is:
<?php
//get these values from the FLASH
$file_id_swf = $_POST ['file_id'];
$file_name = "messages/messages".$file_id_swf.".txt";
$msg_id_swf = $_POST ['msg_id'];
// [0] ."||".[1] ."||".[2] ."||". [3] ."||".[4]."||". [5].
//$msg_id."||".date."||".time."||".$from."||".$to."||".$msg.
$fp = fopen ($file_name, 'rb');
while (!feof ($fp))
$msg_txt = fgets ($fp, 1024);
$line = explode ("||", $msg_txt);
$msg_id = $line[0];
$from = $line[3];
$to = $line[4];
$msg = utf8_encode ($line[5]);
if ($msg_id == $msg_id_swf)
echo
"msg_id=".$msg_id."&from=".$from."&to=".$to."&msg=".$msg;
}//while
fclose ($fp);
?>

Well, given the things that you've written, I don't think it
could. There technically isn't any code in flash that lets it
"wait." In order to "wait," you must run the script over again
until some condition is met.
However, your code does look accurate. Why do you need to
wait? The onLoad function will be invoked WHEN something is loaded.
So, I don't see the reason for the "waiting."
In addition to that, I would like to say that using text
files isn't that great with flash. I have done this before and
noticed several problems with using text files. The biggest problem
is that the text files are cached after being loaded. Every time
you re-load it again, you will get what you got the first time
until you reset your cache (ie. close your browser). I suggest
using MySQL. (Just my thought.)

Derive values based upon user input

Hello,
I recieved a request for a report.
When a user runs the report they are to be prompted for a fiscal year/period.
Based on the fiscal year/period that the user provides I have the following columns (in bold below are 2 examples that may make the description more clear).
1. Revenue for the Fiscal year Prior to the fiscal year of the user input value
2. Revenue for the Fiscal year/Period prior to the input Fiscal year/period
3. Revenue for the Year to date accumulation up to the prior fiscal year/period that the user input
4. Revenue for the Year to date accumulation up to the prior fiscal year (fiscal year rolls back first) and prior period (for period 01, it then rolls back the fiscal year 1 more year) that the user input
Example 1: If the user ran the query and they provided the value 05/2007, then the values that need to be obtained would be:
1. Revenue for 2006
2. Revenue for 04/2007
3. Revenue for 01/2007 to 04/2007
4. Revenue for 01/2006 to 04/2006
Example 2: If the user ran the query and they provided the value 01/2008, then the values that need to be obtained would be:
1. Revenue for 2007
2. Revenue for 12/2007
3. Revenue for 01/2007 to 12/2007
4. Revenue for 01/2006 to 12/2006
Please help me with determining how to obtain the user input value, and then how to derive the time periods for the columns based upon that value.
Thanks,
Nick

Help needed, Createing Dynamic User input

Hello,
I am attempting to create some dynamic user input by "predicting" what the user requires in a text box.
For example if the user enters "Smi" I have a select list pop up which gives the user all options that begin with "Smi".
I am able to achieve the popups but the interface is quite jerky and not terribly responsive I am trying to solve this by using a thread which starts and stops when new input is received but it is still not quite right.
The program uses a Sorted TreeSet to hold the data (I thought this would give me a quick search time) and a simple interface at this stage.
Any help would be fantastic

 it in some type of container allowing rapid access.
 
 The user may then type in the first few letters of the surname of a person,
 and this program should immediately present in a popup dialog the names which
 match. The user will be able to click on one of the names in the popup and
 that will cause all data about that person to be displayed in the JTextArea
 at the bottom of the window.
 
 This program requires the FormLayout.class, FormLayout$Placement.class, and
 FormLayout$Constraint.class files in the same directory
 (folder) or in its classpath. These is provided separately.

Some offerings are missing user input, some are not mapping to activites

Seemingly out of the blue my system has stopped mapping request offering answers to (manual) activities (mapping to the SR itself works), neither OotB properties or custom properties. This only happens when submitting them from the portal (ALL
offerings)
Also, some requests are even missing user input (and obviously no mapping is possible).
This issue seem to affect all users. Even admins
I have tried restarting the web content server and also the website on the sharepoint server. I have also tried creating a brand new template and offering in a brand new MP.
I have been able to track down a ca. point in time this issue arose, but not found anything in logs anywhere (except SMPortalTrace). Checked web content server event log and website log, SQL log, event log on both management servers.
I have checked the SMPortalTrace.log and for every request submitted I get an error (not visible in the portal) - some is in danish, so I have translated at the best of my ability:
Failed to parse the description with links., System.ArgumentNullException: [ArgumentNull_Generic]
Ressourcestrings for troubleshooting is not available. Keys and arguments often contains enough information to start the troubleshooting a problem. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=106663&Version=5.1.30214.00&File=mscorlib.dll&Key=ArgumentNull_Generic
ParameterName: input
At System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Matches (String input)
At Microsoft.Enterprisemanagement.ServiceManager.Portal.RequestOfferingSilverlightModule.UriParser.ParseDescription(string description)
The system is SCSM 2012 R2 UR2 (except the SP part of the portal)
Update:
I found that if the user input is missing even from the SR then the error does not present itself in the SMPortalTrace.log, only if the user input goes through (but is not mapped to activities).
http://codebeaver.blogspot.dk/

The issue seems to be related to a syntactically valid type projection in the Service Request form (customized) - I added a component to the existing projection. As the template that a request offering is based on has a reference to this projection I guess
the code that creates the Service Request submitted from the portal somehow ignores the "unwanted" type projection component, and instead of not submitting the request it continues but is unable to map into child activities. I will try and reproduce
this in more detail.
Solution: Revert to original type projection in the SR form and everything went back to normal.

Date difference calculation with user input variable

Hi,
I have the following requirement in BEx:
The user inputs a date value and I have to calculate the difference between the date entered by the user with the Due Date in the cube, to determine the number of backlog days. Basically, I need to calculate Past Due in number of days. I need to display the Amount due for the Time buckets like 1 -10 days, 11 -30 days.
The report output has to be in the format below:
Columns:
1 u2013 10 days Past Due      $100.00
11 u2013 30 days Past Due    $15.00
Rows:
Customer#
The cube has data from Jan 2005 to June 2008.
For Eg:   User Input Date =   04/30/2008.
It should compare the input date to the due date for each record in the cube.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hi Kumar,
We have developed simar reports in our previous projects.
You need to follow the following steps.
1. Create a new restricted key figure globally on Past Due $100. Restriction details I will let you know in the ensuing steps.
2. Create another restricted key figure globally on Past Due $15. Restriction details I will let you know in the ensuing steps.
3. Create a Z varuable on Calday and offset it -1 (use the button next to exclude button).
4.Create another Z varuable on Calday and offset it -10 (use the button next to exclude button).
5. Create another Z varuable on Calday and offset it -11 (use the button next to exclude button).
6. Create another Z varuable on Calday and offset it -30(use the button next to exclude button).
7 Restrict the RKF past due 100$ (defined in sl 1)between the variable range defined in 3 and 4.
8. Restrict the RKF past due 15$ (defined in sl 2) between the variable range defined in 5 and 6
Now drag and drop those two RKF to column and you will get the desired result in C1 and C2 as follows:
Columns:
C1 :1 u2013 10 days Past Due $100.00
C2 :11 u2013 30 days Past Due $15.00
If the above info serves your purpose, please reward me with the point.

How to change date format of user input prompt in infoview.

Hi All,
Every report webi or deski having date field as prompt when viewed in view mode in infoview shows date format as M/d/yyyy h:mm:ss a.
Where this format is stored and how can we change it to dd/mm/yyyy.
Any ideas.
Regards,
Gaurav

Not sure id this helps...
I was up against a similar issue of placing the user input dates, Starting & Ending, into one cell for a reference on each report header. After a few hours of diligence, I came up with a working model that finally worked:
u_StartDateAsTXT=FormatDate(ToDate(UserResponse("Enter Date/Time Shipped (Start):");"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");"MM/dd/yyyy")
and
u_EndDateAsTXT=FormatDate(ToDate(UserResponse("Enter Date/Time Shipped (END):");"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");"MM/dd/yyyy")
The report header has the following function:
=u_StartDateAsTXT + u201C u2013 u201C + u_EndDateAsTXT

User input in loop

For some reason I could not find information about user input in the first chapters of my programming book, therefore I decided to find out on my own. using google gave me a few hints, but I cannot figure out how to solve this problem: when trying to assign the same variable a new value I get a error. how would you solve this?
program:
package henke;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Main {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 System.out.println("\n\n\t\t\tWelcome to the 'guess my number' game!\n");
 while(true){
 System.out.println("\nChose your option: \n" +
 "1\) Guess the random number!\n" +
 "2\) Make the computer guess your number!\n" +
 "3\) Exit\n");
 int option;
 Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
 System.out.print("Your option: ");
 option = in.nextInt();
 in.close();
 if(option == 1){
 System.out.println("Not built yet. ");
 else if(option == 2){
 System.out.println("Will be built last. ");
 else if(option == 3){
 break;
 else{
 System.out.println("Illegal option.. ");
}output including error messages:

1) Guess the random number!
2) Make the computer guess your number!
3) Exit
Your option: 1

thanks for the links. some googling made it possible for me to finish this script. It might be somewhat messy since I have just written it (no complaints about the output though). and oh, I didn't finish the 'while ... and ...' loop somwhere in there since I didn't have the energy. I should really go to sleep now. bye

Wait for user input in for loop

I'm pretty new to labview and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do this. Basically, I need the user to press a GO button and data aquisition will take place saving it in an array, then the program will wait for the user to press the GO button again and the data aqusition will add more values to the array, and the whole process will repeat 5 times and finally it will average the values.
To try and figure out how to do this, I tried making a program that loops 5 times and adds a random number to an array with each loop (using shift registers) but I CANNOT figure out how to make each loop iteration wait on the user to press a button. Any advice?

Hi Roger,
you can use a dialog in your for loop, or better you use an event structure to react on user inputs. If you use the event structure you can count the button press events and store them in a shift register. With a compare function you can check if your limit is reached and react on it.

How to force sql developer to prompt for user input for every execution ?

Hi Folks,
Environment: Oracle 11g (on Windows 7)
SQL Developer: *3.1.07*
I am executing a PL/SQL code off Sql Developer. The code uses substitution variables to prompt user for input. However,I am only prompted for the user input for the very first run of the code. For the subsequent executions, the code simply picks up the user input from the very first run. This behavior persists for all subsequent runs of the code.
I have executed the same piece of code from SQL*PLUS and the behavior seems normal (i.e. I am prompted for fresh input for every execution)
How can flush out the old user input so I can be prompted for new user input for every run of the code in sql developer?
Thanks in advance
