To take only first 12 chars doing SELECT

Dear ABAPers
I am doing
SELECT single * from TAB
where A = MYKEY.
if SY-SUBRC=0.
MYKEY2 = TAB-A.
endif.
The question is u2013 I need to take(analyse) only first 12 chars of A .
Say, A is 20 chars, MYKEY is 12 chars.
Is that possible to catch only first 12 chars of A in u201Cselectu201D statement?
If yes, provide the code please.
THANK YOU!

Try something like this,
data: var type string.
concatenate MYKEY '%' into var.
SELECT single * from TAB
where A like var.
if SY-SUBRC=0.
MYKEY2 = TAB-A.
endif.

My question is understood.

Hi,
Try this one
data : begin of itab occurs 0,
maktx(10) type c,
end of itab.
" though the length of MAKTX is 40 you only get 10 chars
select maktx from makt into table itab up to 10 rows.
if sy-subrc is initial.
endif.
" Suppose the field name of table you want to select is MAKTX then declare
" Your internal table in the above manner, it will automatically fit into it and will get 10 Chars only
" Instead of burding the select query / DB interface use the above.

Photosmart C7280 only takes the first 4 chars of the WPA Key

When I try to set the WEP key on the printer it seems to truncate after the first 4 chars. Some one said that there is a way to reset the printer using a reset button - pressing this might fix the problem.
Any ideas on how I can printer to work again wireless?

How are you trying to enter the key? What operating system? What router are you using?

Can I use automatically select only first line of a caption to include in List of Figures?

Is there a setting in the TOC utility in ID CS6 that will allow me to use only the first sentence in a caption to include in a list of Figures?
Example
Willard's Wharf, Cocoa, Florida, 1887. This was Cocoa's first blah blah blah. Photo by a dead guy. courtesy of a nice old lady whose grandmother collected it.
In the example above, the entire passage is currently formatted using a paragraph style sheet in Arno Pro Caption. When I'm done, I would like to have that first phrase or sentence in bold, which I planned to do with a character style sheet. The remainder will be in regular type.
Now that I understand more how the TOC utility works, I'm wondering, can I make a paragraph style for the title phrase, and a second paragraph style for the remaining text in the caption that follows If so, how to I ensure that the second paragraph will follow on the same line where ever the first paragraph style ends? Nested styles, maybe? If nested styles are the way to go, comments on or pointers to the simplest strategy to make this work will be appreciated.
Captions are not consistent. Some have a name and date; others are a Title phrase or sentence, followed, sometimes, by up to several sentences. Typically, however, there is only one sentence after the title. I also usually have a "Courtesy of . . ." statement acknowledging the source of the photo.
I'm a newbie using id cs6, for the first time, to format a book. I'm enjoying using the program, but a few details sometimes bring me to a stop.
Thanks
Roy

Roy,
In fact, you only need a char style to control that you correctly mark what you want in the LOF.
See how I do:
1/ I create the para style "Caption" [color: Red] and insert a grep style in it.
2/ I create the char style "Char_Caption" [color: Blue]. It only needs to control what I want in the LOF.
3/ What I have to do is insert a "N-Joiner" in the "Caption" text. See the grep code of the grep style defined in the "Caption" para style.
4/ I generate the TOC, only with the "Caption" para style. I select the story where I insert the TOC and launch this simple regex.
Done!

Copying and pasting adjustments. When I copy the adjustments of an image, I thought I could then select several images and batch paste the adjustments to all selected images. But instead it's only pasting to the first photo of the selection. What am I do

I am having the problem when trying to take a panorama picture. It may only take the first frame or doesn't even start at all when I press the shutter button. even though when i hold the phone straight up and down, so that camera is at the top

I am having the problem when trying to take a panorama picture.
It may only take the first frame or doesn't even start at all when I press the shutter button.
even though when i hold the phone straight up and down, so that camera is at the top on the back and the home button is on the bottom on the front.
This problem is irritating me....?

To take panorama
- ensure that the panorama option is on
- press the shutter button once
- you will see a line with an arrow
- move around in a circle ( I keep the camera steady and turn myself around in a circle)
- as you do this you will see the arrow moving across the screen as it captures pictures
- at the end of the capture, you will be able to see your panorama picture
I hope that this helps, do report back.

With my new macbook I attempted to open an older spreadsheet and get the following error message: "This spreadsheet cannot be opened because ti is too old. To open it, save it with numbers '09 first" So how does one do this when I only have ver3.1?

With my new macbook I attempted to open an older spreadsheet and get the following error message: "This spreadsheet cannot be opened because ti is too old. To open it, save it with numbers '09 first" So how does one do this when I only have ver3.1?

Numbers 3.x can only open Numbers '09 and later. You will need Numbers '09 to open Numbers '08 files.
If it is a single file (or only a few) you can email me and I will open and convert then email back. My email address is in the "Biography" of my profile.
You may have Numbers '09 installed. Look in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09" if Numbers is in that folder launch it, open the file you tried to open, and save. Then you should be able to open in Numbers 3.x

Select from 1 table only if a value does not exist

Hello all,
I'm having problems devising a single select statement to accomplish a single return value. I have tried variations of DECODE and COALESCE, but it's escaping me.
I have two tables that are as follows:
NAME
ID, FULLNAME
1, Senior
2, Junior
3, Mister
4, Senor
5, Miss
ABBREVIATION
ID, ABBREV
1, Sr
2, Jr
3, Mr
5, Ms
What I would like to do is select from the NAME table only if the value does not exist in the ABBREVIATION table.
Ideally if I were to do something such as:
SELECT * FROM .... WHERE (ID=1 or ID=2 or ID=4) ....
I would receive the following output:
1, Sr
2, Jr
4, Senor
Thanks for reading!

You want an outer join.
SELECT decode(a.abbrev, NULL, n.fullname, a.abbrev)
FROM name n,
abbreviation a
WHERE n.ID = a.ID(+)
AND ....Something like that.
Full example:
with n as (
select 1 as ID, 'Senior' as FULLNAME from dual UNION ALL
select 2 as ID, 'Junior' as FULLNAME from dual UNION ALL
select 3 as ID, 'Mister' as FULLNAME from dual UNION ALL
select 4 as ID, 'Senor' as FULLNAME from dual UNION ALL
select 5 as ID, 'Miss' as FULLNAME from dual),
a as (
select 1 as ID, 'Sr' as ABBREV from dual UNION ALL
select 2 as ID, 'Jr' as ABBREV from dual UNION ALL
select 3 as ID, 'Mr' as ABBREV from dual UNION ALL
select 5 as ID, 'Ms' as ABBREV from dual)
select decode(a.abbrev, NULL, n.fullname, a.abbrev)
from a, n
where n.id = a.id(+)
order by n.id;
ID                     DECODE(A.ABBREV,NULL,N.FULLNAME,A.ABBREV)
1                      Sr
2                      Jr
3                      Mr
4                      Senor
5                      Ms

Hi, I was working on a PDF writing comments using Adobe Reader on a Mac. I clicked save and got a 'cannot save' message. I then clicked save as instead, Reader froze and my PDF disappeared. The only version saved has only my first comment. Does Adobe

Hi, I was working on a PDF writing comments using Adobe Reader on a Mac. I clicked save and got a 'cannot save' message. I then clicked save as instead, Reader froze and my PDF disappeared. The only version saved has only my first comment. Does Adobe Reader save to temporary files that I can access in order to recover my work? Is there any other way to recover it? Thanks!

Hi @Pat Willener,
since I got the same problem as pdfprincess I hope you can help me. The 'Automatically save document changes to temporary file...' is enabled in my adobe reader.
A file I worked (commented) on a lot crashed. When I reopened the file, adobe reader didn't ask if I want to restore my changes in this file, as it is written on the help.adobe.com page. Is there any possibility to restore the changes manually from the temporary file?
Thanks in advance - it is really important for me to restore these changes!!

How to select only first few values in a Column

Hi, in one of the column of type SDO_GEOMETRY. In that column we have many values. Example : *(-6.33787700000002, 56.547309, -6.33786800000001, 56.547279, -6.33781400000001, 56.547249, -6.33776900000001)*
I wanted to know how can i select only first two or last two values from within the column.
Eg: i want only -6.33787700000002, 56.547309 to be displayed
Thanks

Hi,
Are the value specified here are multirow or single row data?
if it is multi row, Karthick solution should work. Else if it is a single row then try this
with T as
select '-6.33787700000002, 56.547309, -6.33786800000001, 56.547279, -6.33781400000001, 56.547249, -6.33776900000001' SDO_GEOMETRY from dual
-- end of sample data
select substr(SDO_GEOMETRY,1,instr(SDO_GEOMETRY,',',1,&cnt)-1) Output from T
PRAZY@11gR2> /
Enter value for cnt: 2
OUTPUT
-6.33787700000002, 56.547309
Elapsed: 00:00:00.05And remember, while posting questions it is good to specify your DB version with clear sample data and required output.

Virtual chars does not take part in update rules

Hi
Friends my question is Virtual Chars Does not take part in update rules than why to include it in data target??? directly we can include it at query designer .
Thanks
Asim

Hi,
Adding a charachteristics is to have a place holder in your data target. In virtual char you make use of this field memory pointer to populate the data for this field.
Hope this helps for you.
