Txt formatting issues with fields in text object

Post Author: David Goldman
CA Forum: General
Hi, complete newbie here.  I'm working on my company's estimating form.  I was requested to combine fields FCITY FSTATE and FZIP into one line that auto flows any given data.  So I used a Text object with field calls to FCITY FSTATE and FZIP.  This works very well, however my text is always formated to the way it was entered into the database.  ie. if some salesman enters his info with the capslock key on, it shows up in my text object that way, and not in my regular fields.  The regular fields are somehow formatting the text to cap the first letter of each word.  How can I configure my text object to do this? Thanks

Format the fields prior to placing them in the text box.
For example,
propercase({table.last_name}) & ', ' & propercase({table.first_name}) & ' ' & propercase({table.middle_name});
Then place the formula in a text box and then right click and check the box next to 'Suppress Embeded Field Blanks'.

  • Can't add database field or text object to a report (new and existing)

    We have Crystal Report 8.5 and when trying to modify an existing report or create a new report, I can't seem to add any database fields or text objects in my report.  I get a prohibition symbol (circle with a backslash inside it) when I hover over the report.  Has anyone encoutered something like this? Any suggestions?  Thank you.

    Do you have two monitors?
    I had this problem if I tried to open crystal in the second monitor, move it back to primary monitor and it should be OK.

  • Having an issue with passing the text of a link to a session variable.

    I am having an issue with passing the text from a link to a session variable. I am adding this html as a literal for each item in the list that i have populated with a query.
    List<Literal> lit = new List<Literal>();
    for (int i = 0; i < posts.Count; i+=4)
    Literal someLit = new Literal();
    someLit.Text=
    @"<div class='row'>" +
    "<div class='col-md-12'>" +
    "<div class='panel'>" +
    " <div class='panel-body'>" +
    " <!--/stories-->" +
    " <div class='row'> " +
    " <br>" +
    "<div class='col-md-2 col-sm-3 text-center' id='javascript'> <h3>" +
    " <a href='#' runat='server' onserverclick='UserProfile_Click'>" + posts[i + 3] + " </a>" +
    "</h3>" +
    " </div>" +
    " <div class='col-md-10 col-sm-9'>" +
    "<h3><a href='Thread.aspx' runat='server' onserverclick='MyFuncion_Click'> " + posts[i] + " </a></h3>" +
    " <div class='row'>" +
    " <div class='col-xs-9'> " +
    posts[i + 1] +

    posts[i + 2] +

    " </div>" +
    "</div>";
    lit.Add(someLit);
    for(int i=0; i<lit.Count; i++)
    this.Controls.Add(lit[i]);
    I use one of the list positions as the text for a link in two different spots. For now, lets only talk about the line:
    <a href='#' runat='server' onserverclick='UserProfile_Click'>" + posts[i + 3] + " </a>
    Since I am generating these controls at pageLoad, I can't make them <asp:Linkbutton>s. And since they are anchor elements, I don't have access to an onCommand attribute or onservercommand attribute.
    All I want to do is access the content from inside the specific link tags that I generate on link click and set it as a session variable. That's what I would like my UserProfile_Click function to do. I cant commandargs it in like i can with a linkbutton's
    OnCommnad attribute, however.
    My fear is that the onserverclick attribute resolves so something else on pageLoad normally and since I am generating it the way I am similar to the way a <asp:linkButton> resolves to a generated JavaScript.
    Any help?

  • I am using an early 2008 MacBook Pro and am having issues with it deleting text on its own (in word, emails, etc.). As I am typing it all of a sudden starts deleting and I can't stop it. What can I do?

    I am using an early 2008 MacBook Pro and am having issues with it deleting text on its own (in word, emails, etc.). As I am typing it all of a sudden starts deleting and I can't stop it. This happened once before and it was due to a buldging battery pressing on the track pad. I checked the battery and it appears to be fine. What can I do?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

    I have been having issues with not receiving texts and voicemails daily, for a few months now. If I turn the phone completely off, when I turn it back on the messages will flood in from hours before. I can't be continually turning off my phone in case someone left me a message. How do I resolve this issue?

    Wifi:  my Cell phone will remember 10 wifi connections.  So delete any you don't use often and your home wifi and try to enter home wifi again.
    if it still won't connect to home wifi, call your internet provider for help.  You may need a newer router or different settings Or upgraded service.   Your phone seeks the best connection and will refuse lesser connections.
    last resort.  Backup the phone.  Do a full reset, then restore as new with the backup.
    if still not fixed, go back to apple and insist on repair or replacement.
    HOWEVER.   voicemail is not a wifi issue, it's a carrier function, which is why the SIM card is a suspect.

  • IExpenses-12.1.3 Facing Issue with 2 custom text fields on the standard OAF

    Dear All,
    We are facing problem where custom text fields on standard OAF page does not retain their values when we traverse back-forth on the OAF page.
    Here is the exact issue details
    1) We added 2 text fields(Attribute5 and Attribute6) through personalization on Mileage Line Details Screen(standard OAF page) of iExpenses 12.1.3.
    2) And business requirement is whenever user enters values into these fields, difference of these values is populated in third field which is standard field on that page.
    Issue
    When user enters values into above 2 fields, difference is calculated correctly however once he clicks on return page and comes back again on the detail page
    then all the standard fields retain their values but 2 custom fields have blank value.
    Is there any issue with personalization? or any other issue? Please suggest.
    Thanks,
    Mahesh

    Thanks Pratap for checking
    There is button named as "Calculate Amount" on the line details page so it is happening in below 2 scenario
    1) When User enters values in 2 fields and clicks on Calculate Amount Button then values get disappeared from custom fields
    2) When user clicks on return button, go to main page and clicks on detail button ( to come back on same line) then all the standard fields have valuece and custom one's disappeared.
    Thanks,

  • Mail formatting issues with 1.1.1 update

    With the 1.0.2 firmware HTML-formatted e-mail displayed correctly, if a bit too small to read, just like web pages do. Just like web pages, I could double-tap on - say - a table or a bit of text to zoom in and/or use pinch gestures to zoom in and out.
    Now when I look at the same e-mails that looked so good in 1.0.2, my iPhone re-formats and re-flows the e-mails into gibberish, kinda like PocketIE does on Windows Mobile. One e-mail (a hotel registration confirmation) had the header re-flowed into 60 or 70 lines of one character each. The daily status messages I get from my SBS2003 server - which were completly unreadable on my old XV6700 with WM5 - looked great on 1.0.2. With 1.1.1, the tables are scrunched up, many text fields have a second or third line with one or two characters on them, ect.
    Anyone else notice this? It's annoying enough that I'm almost willing to give up the other 1.1.1 features to get my mail working right again.

    Solved the problem with bit locker (and refresh and reset and a couple of other things that rely on the windows boot manager by reinstalling windows (went to Windows 10). That also solved my issues with high Cpu when playing YouTube videos and photoshop crashes due to the fact that Windows 10 loads the latest Intel drivers.
    Unfortunately the issue of Bluetooth mouses freezing still happens, though only twice yesterday, so that's an improvement.

  • 2 Formatting issues with HTML forms

    I have a couple of issues that we can't seem to get past with adobe livecycle designer 7.0. We have an internal form, rendered in HTML, that is emailed between departments, and the data entered is stored in an XML file that is created using the code similar to the following:
    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
    HttpServletResponse response) throws
    ServletException, IOException
    oOutput = response.getOutputStream();
    try {
    FormServerWithXML fsb = new FormServerWithXML();
    fsb.processForm(request);
    File file = File.createTempFile("Form_", ".tmp", new
    File("d:\\xmlFiles"));
    BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file));
    out.write(fsb.getXMLString());
    out.close();
    When we use a numeric field and try to format it with any display pattern containing dollar signs, decimals, etc... the xml data for that field isn't being written to the xml file. All of the other fields are being written properly.
    The next issue we're having is that with HTML forms, when we create a multiline text field we are unable to limit the number of characters that are allowed in the field.
    I'm pretty new with this, so please send some advice my way if you have any.
    Thanks,
    Chad

  • Formatting issues with "Justify"

    I have a problem. I have a text field that ought to be justified and multiple paragraphs or a list of items will be entered into the text field.
    However, it appears the last line of each Justified (flush left and right) paragraph is spread across the text field, resulting in a very ugle display in the PDF (see below).
    Are there any known work arounds for this? Do I have an issue with my settings? Is this a bug?
    Any help or insight would be appreciated.

    Throw this into a text object at the bottom of your dashboard and check the enable HTML option.

    Its not Dreamweaver, or Access, its your servers locale, its
    set to US
    format, not the UK.
    On your page at the top use:
    <% Session.LCID = 2057 %>
    This will force the page into using UK formatted dates. Use
    it on any
    page that needs to format the page correctly.

  • FCP and Motion formatting issues with DVCPro 50?

    The material is DVCPro 50 NTSC 48khtz. (Item properties indicate that I initially digitized it properly.) My sequence settings are DV50 NTSC 48khtz.
    I wanted to create a vignette effect so I exported my clips as a Quicktime (current settings) sequence to Motion. When I was done there I exported the sequence from Motion back to FCP as a DV NTSC movie.
    Some of the Motion effected clips will play, look great and then all the sudden I see a black band appear on the East side of the frame. I can stretch it in Motion some but it just degrades the image so I'd rather not.
    I'm surely grateful if someone can steer me in the right direction here.

    Thanks for the workflow tips and suggestions. I backtracked to my original sequence and found the problem originates there. I have narrow black lines on both sides of all these clips. Since I resized a few clips with moves, I didn't recognize the problem. Now that I'm closer the root of it, any suggestions?
    By the way, these problematic clips are intercut with no problem library footage that was also shot on DVCPro 50 and I took in on the same deck.
    I cruised the forum for any occurence of a similiar issue and most replies seem to suggest a formatting issue. I don't get it since I think I have everything set up correctly. As a precaution, I also tossed out my preferences using FCP Rescue 5.
    Welcome to the discussions, splotch.
    Not sure what is causing this, but I might propose an
    alternate workflow. Have your clips on the timeline
    as you wish, ctrl/right click on them and select
    Send To Motion.... Click the
    embedded and open Motion ticks, give it a name, then
    continue. Do your work in Motion, save, quit, and
    fall back into FCP. Your clips may lose their
    "anamorphicness" on their round trip, but just
    ctrl/right click on the clip and select Item Properties/Format..., then
    click on the anamorphic button.
    Try this and see if you are still getting the same
    problem...

  • Issue with field symbol not assigned in SMQ2

    We are facing an issue with an error in SMQ2.
    The error is "field symbol not assigned". There is also short dump in ST22.
    I have read the previous forum threads and it talks about going into the debugger mode.
    However, which is the program to be debugged ?
    How do I navigate from SMQ2 to the ABAP program.
    Kindly let me know.
    Regards,
    Sanjay

    Hi Sanjay,
    You need to debug program RSTRFCM3. This is the program which drives SMQ2.
    However just check if there are any support pack upgrades to the program recently since this is a standard program.

    I have a query regarding reports:
    For a certain role I gave "Has Access" to only SRs and not the other objects and added a certain book containing SRs. I have a report with fields pulled from SRs, Accounts and Contacts. Is it necessary that the role should have "Has Access" to Accounts and Contacts also for this report to show any data?
    Please suggest.
    Regards,
    Udaya

  • Issue with cover sheet text in chinese when received at customer mail id

    Hi All,
    Please help me with the following issue with your solutions
    When we complete an MSDS document, a Cover sheet will also get generated and a proram will send both the documents to the customer in his/her email id.Both the documents are received in customer's email id as .PDF files( Say Pkt ID.PDF for MSDS and Coversheet.pdf for coversheet).
    In general coversheet goes as coversheet.pdf,but for some countrie like china customer need to see the files received in chinese text( Coversheet in chinese text.PDF).
    In my case the customer is receiving a covers sheet with (chinese text.PDF),but the chinese text appearing for coversheet is not correct.
    Any help as from where this is picked up for coversheet? I checked Document Management systemdefine doc typesassign language dep doc status for DBE.Also checked phrases ,but of no use.
    Kindly let me know your inputs
    Regards
    George

    Found that the Program handling the sending of MSDS&COVER sheet to customer is mapped with wrong text element.
