Updating a field that generates random number when form is reset..
I have a field that will generate a random number when the form is initially opened. THis fiekd runs an initialization script of : var randomnumber=Math.floor(math.random()*99999) and then a calculation script of randomnumber.
The field value is set as Calculated - Read Only.
When I hit the Reset button and it clears all the input fields for the form i would like to have it re calculate a new random number. I am not knowledgable in any scripting language and what I have so far I found by searching the forums.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
I don't know if it should matter, but the field to update is on a page other than the one with the reset button. And, the above is not working.
I tried it as you stated above fieldname.rawvalue=randomnumber and I tried pagename.fieldname.rawvalue=randomnumber

Generate random number and letter in a text field ...
Hi All,
I having a bit trouble when trying to generate random number and letter in application express in a text field. Say I have a licence form and when user wants to create a licence, it will provide a random licence number in the licence number field but it has to be unique. the number should be something like HQ2345. I was trying to set the following sql in default value for that text field but it is not working -
select DBMS_RANDOM.STRING('',2) || trunc(DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE(1000,9999))
from dual;
any suggesion !!!!
thanksPut this as default value for your text-item
DBMS_RANDOM.STRING('',2) || trunc(DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE(1000,9999))
with type PL/SQL Expression. It have tested it and it works fine.

Need An Algorithm That Generates Random Numbers
Hi, I understand that there is a built-in random number generator. But, I need an algorithm that generator random numbers. Is there one available? Thanks.
Hi, is the "Seminumerical Algorithms" a book?What
the numbers 3141592621 and 907633385 stand for?The first is PI without a decimal... the second I
don't know, it may as well be randomly picked.As far as I know the numbers aren't randomly picked. You want the distribution to be good, and the length of the serie should also be long. Some numbers causes the cycle to be short, or the distribution to be bad. I think there are articles that lists 'good' numbers.

RegardsSo, i have bad news for you : you'll have to rebuild again.
Meanwhile i have excellent news for you : there's an online tool made by Johannes Henseler called Sidecar xml which builds the necessary xml file for you, sort of what you find in the Digital Publishing Folio Editor website, but saves it in your Folio folder.
Next time you import all your folder (with that file), it will place all the necessary information, and even reorder the articles.
Build once, play many times. -
Thank you for reading below scenario:
assume user will input 4 digits number to a text
Input Number : 1119
and I'll create a command button, after click on the command button it will generate above number
Generate : 1119
1191
1911
9111
I did using "Randomize" but it generate the same number as result... .Can anyone give me an idea how to generate random number using Visual Basic as the above scenario?
Thank's a lotThe first thing to do is to rewrite in PHP.

Random number in forms developer
Hi, dear all:
How can i produce random number in forms ?
regards.
kevinActually I tried several combinations but the (b-a )+a didnt work for me.
It always gives me 4000000000 is out of range. Without the 32768 also its that way.
int temp = (int)((((4000000000-1000000000)+1000000000) *(Math.random() * 32768));Heres the entire loop.......size is the size of the foo Array I want to fill
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
int temp = (int)((((4000000000-1000000000)+1000000000) *(Math.random() * 32768)));
//int temp = (int)Math.random()*32768;//Make random number same as c++
if((temp < 1000000000)||(temp > 4000000000))
i--;
else
foo[i] = temp;
System.out.println("Original Array: "+foo); -

Generate Random Number in a Numberic Field
Hello,
I am wondering if there is a way to Generate a random number in a numeric Field or any other type?
I am currently using LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2
thanks,
-VargsThanks for the post, I was researching further into what I wanted to do and found this post
http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucb … ?pid=60135
What I want to do with this random number is generate it every time someone opens a new form. This form will be saved on a persons computer and worked on. So I don't want the number to change every time the file is open, only when the form doesn't have a unique number already in it.
I believe the answer is the following but I am not sure if it will do the task I want to perform. Here is the following code
Quote from the post by user Jonom:
"Here's a script I've used on the Initialize event of a form. It checks to see if it already has a value and if so doesn't generate a new number in case people save the form and reopen it:
The number is unique to the second, so two people would have to open the form at the same second to get the same value..."
Code:
if (this.rawValue == null) {
var d = new Date();
//divide result by 1000 to get seconds and round off
this.rawValue = parseInt(d / 1000);
else {
this.rawValue = rawValue;
end quote
How can I put in this code into a numeric field. I made a numeric field in Livecycle Designer ES 8.2
and tried to add in code but was not sure which event to put it in or where exactly it should be placed.
Thanks,

Is there any way to generate random number in CPO
Requirement : -
> I want to generate a random number from set of 1-9 numbers .is there any way in cpo ?
Thanks
SivaI created a process that uses 3 steps, all of which happen inside the engine rather than having to span out to a script, so it runs a lot faster.
Technically, it's pseudo-random...
Predefine Output Variable "Random Number" as type "Numeric"
Step 1: Format Date
Format string: fffffff
(that's seven lower-case letters "f")
Original date: [Process.Start Time]
Step 2: Format Date
Format string: ff\0\0\0\0\0
Original date: [Process Start Time]
Step 3: Set Variable
Variable to update: [Process.Variables.Output.Random Number]
New value: ([Workflow.Format Date.Formatted Date]-[Workflow.Format Date (2).Formatted Date])/100000
This returns a basically random number between 0 and 1 (so you can mulitply it by your maximum value) based on the numeric fraction of a second of the start time of the process. -
Need help with a JavaScript to generate random number
Hi
First things first. I don't know the J of JavaScript.
When I was thinking of some readymade solution to generate a random number in Captivate, I found this on a LinkedIn forum.
1) Add a user variable to your project called "randomNumber". It's value can be zero.
2) Add a Text Caption with "$$randomNumber$$" in it, to check whether your script is working.
3) Add a button to the slide. Give it an On Success Action of Execute JavaScript. Turn off it's "Continue Playing the Project" checkbox.
4) Add the following text in the button's Script_Window:
var objCP = document.Captivate;
var rand = 1 + Math.floor(Math.random() * 10);
function onButtonClick(){
objCP.cpEISetValue('randomNumber', rand);
onButtonClick();
However, this is (as the poster in the forum warned) not working for Captivate 7. Can somebody please help?
I am open for any other methods of getting the same result.
Thanks in advance,
SreekanthHi Sreekanth,
When testing, make sure you are testing from a web server where the web address begins with http or https. When setting the captivate variable "randomNumber" try this instead:
objCP.cpEISetValue('m_VarHandle.randomNumber', rand);
That will only work for SWF output. If you want it to work for both HTML5 and SWF output, try this code:
window.onButtonClick = function(){
var rand = generateRandomNumber(1, 10);
setCpVariable('randomNumber', rand);
window.generateRandomNumber = function(min, max){
var randomNum = 0;
if(!isNaN(parseFloat(min)) && !isNaN(parseFloat(max))){
min = Number(min);
max = Number(max);
randomNum = Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
return randomNum;
window.setCpVariable = function (cpUserVariableName, variableValue) {
/* Check for HTML5 vs. SWF output */
if (typeof window.cp === 'undefined') {
/* We have SWF output, so Get the Captivate Object */
var objCp = document.getElementById('Captivate');
if (objCp && objCp.cpEISetValue) {
/* Set the Captivate User variable with the JavaScript variable, variableValue */
objCp.cpEISetValue('m_VarHandle.' + cpUserVariableName, variableValue);
} else {
/* We have HTML5 output */
/*If variable does not exist off of the window object, then use the variables manager*/
if (typeof window[cpUserVariableName] === 'undefined') {
if (cp.vm && cp.vm.setVariableValue) {
cp.vm.setVariableValue(cpUserVariableName, variableValue);
} else {
window[cpUserVariableName] = variableValue;
window.onButtonClick();
Be sure to test this from a web server or else local security will prevent the javascript from executing.
Best,

Update Z field from BSIK into BSAK when closing
Hi,
I have created Z field in BSIK table using "Append structure" option. I also created identical field via same option in table BSAK. When I clear open item system "delete" that item in table BSIK and create identical item in table BSAK (BSIK - open items; BSAK-closed items), BSIK and BSAK have same structure because of this trensfer of open items from BSIK to BSAK during open item clearing. My problem - when open item is cleared and item is transferd from BSIK to BSAK my Z field is not updated by system. Is it possible to set this in customizing or is there another way to update this Z field in BSAK when someone clear open items - user exit, modification or ???.
Thanks in advance.
SasaHi Andreas,
than you for your responce.
I tried to find out suitable event for this in fibf but withouth success. Could you suggest event that will be suitable for this purpuse.
One more thing - if I reverse clearing (via transaction FBRA) system will transfer closed item from BSAK to BSIK and during that process Z field will not be updated so I also need event to update this field durind reverse clearing.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Sasa -
I am unable to control my iPad 2. When typing and deleting it generates random letters! Any advice
Start with this and see how it goes. Quit all apps completely and reboot the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
Generating random number within size of map problem (why me!!) ?
Hi Guys,
I'm trying to generator random numbers between 0 and a map width and another random number between 0 and a map height i.e if the map width was 3 i can generator 0,1,2.
The coding i am using to do this is :
int randomCol;
int randomRow;
randomCol = newMapWidth - 0 + 1;
int itemp = generator.nextInt() % randomCol;
if (itemp < 0)
itemp = -itemp;
randomCol = 0 + itemp;
randomRow = newMapHeight - 0 + 1;
int jtemp = generator.nextInt() % randomRow;
if (jtemp < 0)
jtemp = -jtemp;
randomRow = 0 + jtemp;I've had a look at similar problems and searched penalty but can't seem to get it right for whatever way i implement. It leads to some array out of bound errors.
If any can help me resolve this problem it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks A lot !Hippolyte wrote:
randomRow = 0 + jtemp;I'll bite: what's the "0 + " voodoo for?It?s for clarity and Code readability, I guess. @OP: Random.nextFloat() generates numbers from 0.0f to 1.0f. Multiplying this number with your max value will generate a number between 0 and that given max value. BTW, you can generate numbers from -a to a by using (Random.nextFloat()- .5f) * (2 * a).
