Use of greater than, less than and ranges in release strategy

Hi,
We are using release strategy on purchase order level. We have added purchasing group as one of the characteristics of this release strategy. As we have many purchasing groups in place we want to work with ranges of purchasing groups and also make use of the <,> signs. We can enter those signs, but the strategy does not seem to recognize them. The blocking is not working. Whe also have the po value in the startegy and there the signs do work. Probably because this field is numeric.
Is there somebody that has an idea how to solve this?
Regards,
Ed

Jurgen,
This does not work. I can select multiple values for the purchasing group characteristic, but I can not select the option intervals allowed. I assume this only applies to numeric attributes. I can not define purchasing group as a numeric characteristic. The system overwrites this when I refer to the field in EKKO.
Is there an option to use the not equal sign?
Ed

Can a topic title contain angle brackets (greater than / less than)?

Using RoboHelp 8, WebHelp output generated via rhcl and displayed in modified Internet Explorer (IE).
One of my colleagues is creating a topic to describe an application object that has angle brackets (greater than / less than signs) in its screen name. Needless to say, RoboHelp doesn't like those symbols in the topic title, and it hides them and the text between them in the generated topic title. Steps to reproduce: Typed < and > in the Properties dialog; topic's <title> meta tag shows < and > .
Other than replacing the topic title field with static text, is there a way to push these symbols through the Properties dialog or the HTML editor?
It's not world-shatteringly important - the workaround is okay - but I'd like to know how to avoid this problem with other "special" characters, if I can.
Thanks,
Elisa

Willam is correct that you cannot type < or > directly into the HTML code and in pointing out that RoboHelp automatically converts the code when you type that in design view.
However, I think that you are aware of that and it is not the problem you want addressed. You can see that you can type that straight into the Topic Heading but your Topic Headings are not typed in, you are using fields and what you are finding is that if the Topic Title contains the brackets, that works everywhere other than Topic Headings. Is that correct?
If so the cause is linked to what Willam has pointed out but I am sure Adobe could work out a solution. Report it as a bug. Please follow this link.

User input formula variable with greater than/less than operators for KFG

Hello all,
I have used a formula in my query that is a difference of two key figures .For e.g:
Difference = tax from system A - tax from system B.
Now when the users run the report they should be prompted for the 'Difference' threshold for seeing the report say where difference is greater 100 or equal to 10 and so on.Currrently I have created a formula variable with 'user input' and created a 'condition' to display 'Difference' greater than the user entered value.
However,it is required to have various selection options for setting the threshold of difference.For e.g User should be able to set say 'equal to'/'greater than/less than/not equal to operator for 'difference' in the initial selection screen of the report.
With the current user-input formula variable I am not getting these 'greater than' etc operators.Any ideas on how to achieve this?

Ya know, that's all well and good ... BUT ... WHAT IF you do want to sort text type columns with Greater Than and Less Than operatiors??
SQL does it just Fine ... so WHY does APEX have the limit??? This is an Oracle BUG ... it SHOULD NOT limit the operators ... I realize "they" may be trying to be helpful with proper constraints to field searches ... but ... if SQL can do it, then ... no need for a limit.
EG ...
Show the records where
the "Begin_Year-Wk" data is less than or equal to "2009-09" AND
the "End_Year-Wk" data is greater than or equal to "2009-04"
... to give everything that was running in that 5 week period whether or not it starts within that time frame
I can run this query perfectly fine via SQL ... but not in APEX ... unless I reconvert a lot of strings back to numbers, and for sorting / formatting / explain-to-user purposes, I really don't want them to be numbers.
So ... there's gotta be a hidden tweak for operators somewhere ...

Number of address book contacts on MacBook Air using iCloud is one less than my other iDevices using iCloud. Is this a known bug?

Number of address book contacts on MacBook Air using iCloud is one less than my other iDevices using iCloud. Is this a known bug? I've checked for duplicates on my iDevices and I can't find any. Additionally, I have wiped all the data from the Application Support folder of the address book and re-connected to iCloud, but it always shows 308 contacts instead of 309 found on iCloud and the rest of my devices. Any ideas?

Greater than/less than comparisons

Hello!
Does somebody has any idea why I get this error message ?
Greater than/less than comparisons with character type operands may not be portable ?
friendly regards
erdem

Hi Erdem,
       You can only use the comparison operators with in the Numeric Characters or the parameters with integer Data Types or Decimal Data Types.
For Example,
Data : A type I Value '5',
         B Type I Value '10'.
If A < B.
else.

Greater Than Less Than

Dear all,
I am Using oracle 10g R2 database on windows.
I have a doubt that,
If I have a 'Date' datatype column suppose a and want to (select Less than sysdate and greater than Sysdate-31(One Month).
e.i.
select a,b,c from T where a Less Than Sysdate-31(One month.);How can i do this.
Thanks,
Chanchal Wankhade.

I had not considered the effect on an index with TRUNC. Thank you for pointing that out.
TRUNC doesn't actually remove time as you can see below
SELECT TO_CHAR(TRUNC(SYSDATE),'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS AM') "Today's Date and Time" from DUAL;
Today's Date and Time
01/19/2012 12:01:00 AMLet's say sysdate = Jan 19, 2012 11:00:00 AM
As shown above, trunc(sysdate) = Jan 19, 2012 12:01:00 AM
So, trunc(sysdate) -1 = Jan 18, 2012 12:01:00 AM
Removing the trunc from column a
select a,b,c
from T
where a between trunc(sysdate)-1 and trunc(sysdate);will also remove all data that is greater than Jan 19, 2012, 12:01:00 AM so you would only see data from one day -- Jan 18th.
Adding the trunc to column a returns all the data from Jan 18th and 19th.
It is my experience that users will ask for a date range, but then will ask for just one day. If Column a is not truncated, then no rows would be returned when between trunc(sysdate) and trunc(sysdate).
Most programmers will not use trunc(sysdate) in the where clause, but would use a variable with value assigned of sysdate or trunc(sysdate) as it provides more flexibility.
If you do not want to use trunc on column a, then the where clause should be BETWEEN trunc(sysdate) - 31 AND sysdate.
Edited by: Shinegar on Jan 19, 2012 12:40 PMThe trunc function does not remove the time portion, but it does set it to midnight. Or at least i would if you used the correct format mask in your TO_CHAR. The mask for minutes is MI not MM.

Numbers '08 "If" with a greater or less than answer

Hi all - I have a cell with a sum D & E28 (merged cell) that I want another cell B30 to display a value based on what is in cell D & E28.
If cell D & E28 is 8 or less I want B30 to say 8. If D & E28 is greater than 8.001 but less than 12 I want B30 to say 12 and if D & E28 is greater than 12.001 but less then 18 I want B30 to say 18
Any ideas?
Thanks
Peter

pdmjr,
=IF(ROUND(D28,3)<=8.001, 8, IF(ROUND(D28,3)<=12.001, 12, IF(ROUND(D28,3)<=18, 18, "Over 18")))
should do it for you.
The nested IF statements handle your logic. The ROUND statements handle internal math errors and your need to break at .001. You didn't say what to do with inputs of 18 or greater, so I suggested a text string for that case.
The form of the IF statement is: If (logical statement) is True, Then do this, Else do this. Your case requires three tests. You could quibble about a value that is, say, 12.0011 and rounds to 12.001, but I doubt you are concerned about that level of detail. If so let me know.
Does this help?

Filtering Interactive Reports with Greater Than Less Than Operators

The available filter operators in the interactive reports do not include greater than or less than. How is it possible to enable an application user to filter records where greater than or less then logic is needed?
For example the user wants to query records where sysdate falls between a start and end date.

NUMBER OF CHARACTERISTICS AND VALUES IN RELEASE STRATEGY

Hi there, how R U.
Please, can any body help my with this one ?
How many characteristics may I have in a release estrategy for purchase order an contracts ?, how many values could a characteristic have ?, if I´am using a user exit to get the release codes, could this reduce the number of values that I can have in every characteristic ?
An ABAP consultant told me that in table AUSP the release startegy can only have 8 values or less, but not more than that, is this true ?, to be candid, I don´t thik so, otherwise if I had a characteristic with 20 values what would happen?
I hope you can help me.
Have a nice day.

How many characteristics may I have in a release estrategy for purchase order an contracts ?,
You can have as many number of characteristics you want for release strategy, no restirction
how many values could a characteristic have ?
You can have as many as you want, no restiction
if I´am using a user exit to get the release codes, could this reduce the number of values that I can have in every characteristic ?
Release code you can define only 8 and if oyu want more release code than create new release group and assign more release code
An ABAP consultant told me that in table AUSP the release startegy can only have 8 values or less, but not more than that, is this true ?, to be candid, I don´t thik so, otherwise if I had a characteristic with 20 values what would happen?
the release strategy can hold only 8 release code but every release strategy you can have more than 8 charcteristics and each char can have n number of values and that can be decied at char creation level

Class and release group and code in release strategy??

hi experts ,
Can some body explain me..
I have created Characteristics and Class for for release strategy.
But while creating release group , i should assign my class with release group , after doing this when i save , its giving error as check the release classes????
I m using the same class what i have created for my company..
So how to over come this issue
Thanks

Release Prerequisites
Definition
The release prerequisites indicate the sequence in which a purchase requisition or an external purchasing document must be approved via the release codes. The release prerequisites are defined in the Purchasing Customizing facility (in the release strategy).
The approval procedure for purchase requisitions in an enterprise may be set up in such a way that a department manager must approve a requisition item before the next level of authority (e.g. the cost center manager). In this case, approval by the department manager is a prerequisite for approval by the cost center manager.
Release Indicator
Definition
When a requisition or an external purchasing document has been processed via a release code, a release indicator is assigned to it.
When the system sets which release indicator is defined in the Customizing facility for Purchasing (in the release strategy via the release statuses).
What does the release indicator determine?
Requisitions...
External purchasing documents....
Whether the item may be changed by Purchasing or Materials Planning and Control after the start of the release procedure
Whether a new strategy is determined and whether existing releases must be cancelled in the event of changes
Whether an RFQ or a PO may be created with reference to the item
Whether the document may be changed by Purchasing after the start of the release procedure
Whether a new strategy is determined and whether existing releases must be cancelled in the event of changes
Whether the purchasing document is released for transmission
Alternative Release
Definition
Within the release sequence, you can define alternatives. This means that several employees can effect release (signify approval) at a certain point in the sequence. If just one of these employees has effected release, the next release status is reached. The other employees thus need take no action.
Five release codes are defined for purchase requisitions in an ascending hierarchy. The requisition item can be converted into either an RFQ or a PO if release has been effected either with the release codes 01, 02, 03 and 04 or - alternatively - with release code 05.
The box with the information on the release strategy also offers you the possible alternatives for selection (see Displaying Release Information).
An alternative release cannot be a prerequisite for the next release code. In the above example, the releases with codes 01, 02, 03 and 04 could not be prerequisites for release with 05.
Release w. Classification (PReqs./Ext. Pur. Docs.)
Use
The aim of this procedure is to replace manual written authorization procedures using signatures by an electronic one, while maintaining the dual control principle.
The person responsible processes the requisition or other purchasing document in the system, thereby marking it with an "electronic signature" which can give the document legal force.
This release procedure can be used to approve requisitions and the external purchasing documents RFQ, PO, contract, scheduling agreement, and service entry sheet.
Purchase requisitions are released either at item level or in total. There is no provision for item-wise release (i.e. partial approval) in the case of the external purchasing documents. The latter can only be released in their entirety.
If you set up the release procedure with classification for purchase requisitions, the procedure without classification is deactivated.
Prerequisites
The release procedure with classification must have been set up in Customizing for Purchasing. In addition, a class with characteristics must have been created for each document (requisition, purchase order, etc.).
If you wish to set up both the overall release procedure and the item-wise procedure for requisitions, you must create one class for each procedure.
How to do this is outlined in the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Purchasing in Define Release Procedure for the relevant documents and in Set Up Release Procedure with Classification for purchase requisitions. You will find detailed information on classification in the R/3 Library in the documentation CA Characteristics and CA The Classification System.
This procedure offers a wide range of possible combinations of release criteria. Should you nevertheless have other requirements, use the enhancement provided by SAP.
Operation of Release Procedure w. Classification
The characteristic values from a requisition or external purchasing document are passed on to the classification system.
The system checks whether the values correspond with release conditions. If so, it assigns a release strategy.
The persons responsible for the release codes process the document in the sequence defined in the release strategy.

Using greater than - less than in a date query in a form

In version 5, the user could put in ">03/05/08" in a date field, hit the execute query button, and the form would pull up everything >3/5/2008. In version 10g, I get all format errors when I put in the same thing. Is there a work-around, or is this feature no longer supported in 10g?

I assume you have recently performed an upgrade to Forms 10g. Did you only upgrade to Forms 10g or were their other upgrades as well (like the Database)? Has the NLS_DATE_FORMAT changed? Can you run your query in SQL*Plus successfully? Any additional information you can provide will greatly aid us in helping you troubleshoot this issue.

Using 'Greater than/less than' in dynamic where condition

Hi Guys,
I am trying to use a logical expression with GT/LT condition in dynamic where, butits giving dump "expression worngly parenthesised' . My query runs perfectly fine when the logical expression does not have 'GT/LT' . Is there a different way of using GT/LT in dynamic where or is it not posiible at all?? Please find my query below -
IF vendor IS NOT INITIAL.
      i_where_clause = 'a~lifnr = vendor'.
      APPEND i_where_clause.
      CLEAR i_where_clause.

      CLEAR i_where_clause.
    ENDIF.

Dates Greater Than, Less Than, but what about the dates between?

This is what my data looks like.
Employee# StartsWork EndsWork
1_________8/15______8/16
2_________8/16______8/19
3_________8/17______8/17
I need to know how many employees I have working on any given day.
The table below shows the dates across the top, and the data in the cells represents the total number of workers on any given date.
Date_____8/15_______8/16_______8/17________8/18________8/19_______8/20
Workers___1__________2__________2___________1__________1__________0
FYI: This report does not contain any prompts. It just shows me the next 6 days.
I was trying something like this but without any success: Create a column
CASE WHEN current_date > "StartWork" AND current_date < "EndsWork" THEN '1' WHEN (current_date+1) > "StartWork" AND (current_date+1) < "EndsWork" THEN '2'
and so on, then just use the column to sort the rows. I can use some count function later to finish it.

Create three date dimensions, Join first date dimension (d1) with Start Date, join second date dimension (d2) with End date, create a dummy join (1=1) with 3rd date dimension.
On the report or in PRD create a measure as follows.
CASE WHEN D3.Date <= d2.Date and D3.Date >= D1.Date then 1 ELSE 0 END

Case statements without the need for Greater than less than

i have a problem where i have 6 different priorities. from high to low:
A-A
A-B
A-C
B-A
B-B
B-C
One field on the database (default) holds the default priorities. this value in this example is (A-B)
the problem is determinig wether the (actual) value, in this example (A-C) is an "UPGRADE" or a "DOWNGRADE" from the default.
the actual value may change, the default value never changes, so i need to determine if the actual value has increased in priority or decreased in priority?
i cant use the > or < functions obviously, what i have come up with so far is:
(case when actual = 'A-A' AND ((select default from table x) IN ( 'A-B','A-C','B-A','B-B','B-C','C-A','C-B','C-C')
when actual = 'A-B' AND ((select default from table x) IN('A-C''A-C','B-A','B-B','B-C','C-A','C-B','C-C') THEN 'UPGRADE' ELSE 'DOWNGRADE' END)
is this the best way to do a query like this ????

try adding control to form to let them select [ <, <=, >,>=] via a drop down and enter a value, then pass these items to a function that returns a sql select...
Report Region source would be function returning sql select..
Thank you,

Does anyone know the authorized repair centers in Dubai for iPhones. Etisalat uses Technocare which are less than useless.

I dropped by iPhone 4S two days after buying it, and would therefore like to get the damaged screen repaired at the authorized service center.
I took it to Etisalat (the carrier where I bought it) and explained clearly that I am aware that this kind of damage is not covered by warranty, and that I will pay for the repairs.
They took the device, two weeks later it was returned un-fixed with a message saying "Physical damage is not covered by warranty".
I resubmited the device, this time writing "Please quote for replacing the damage screen at my own expense. I am FULLY aware this is not covered by warranty".
Two weeks later...<drum-roll> the phone is back un-fixed with a message saying "Screen physically broken, not covered by warranty"
So if anyone reading this has any suggestion on where / how to get this phone repaired without voiding the warranty please let me know. Clearly the carrier (or their service center Technocare) are clueless.
Thanks.

Thanks Ingo2711,
The pages you suggested point to the local carriers as the only authorized service centers.
The problem with Etisalat is that they outsourced that service to another company called Technocare.
That company sent the phone back twice (for the reasons mentioned above) and suggested that I have it fixed at a third party, which I am refusing to do since that will void my warranty. Additionally, they are refusing to give me any thing in writing to that affect.
