Using cfloop to ignore repeated values - help

I have a query that joins two tables for a price comparison
site. the first table holds information about a product. the second
table holds store specific information about a product. so a
product in the first table is unique. In the second table the
product is repeated depending on how many stores stock the product.
When I go through CFoutput the product is being duplicated
which I want for certain screens but not others. I need a cfloop
that checks to see if a product title is repeated and if so, move
to the next product. without duplicating the product in cfoutput
any ideas???
thanks

Add ORDER BY product into your query then use the group
attribute in cfoutput to only display the products and not the
repeated details.
<cfquery... >
select ...
from ...
where...
ORDER BY product, ...
</cfquery>
To show only the products
<cfoutput group="product">
</cfoutput>
To show multiple records for each product
<cfoutput query="..." group="product">
<cfoutput>
</cfoutput>
</cfoutput>
OR
<cfoutput query="...">
<cfoutput>

Use Album Artists causes repeat values of Various Artists

The obvious implication of the new *Use Album Artist* feature in the Colum Browser is that only Album Artist values will be listed and further that each will be listed only once, sorted by the value of Album Artist or Sort Album Artist. It may be that the previous build (where the feature was introduced) did just this but I have noticed that the current build with Group Compilations turned off will, for example, list the value Various Artists at multiple locations in the Artist column in the browser.
For example, say we have a playlist with albums by Alice, Charlie, Eric & Grace together with a compilation featuring artists Bob, Dave & Fiona with an album artist value of "Various Arists".
With *Use Album Artists* turned on and *Group Compilations* turned off I would expect I would expect the artist panel in the column browser to read:
Alice
Charlie
Eric
Grace
Various Artists
but what we actualy get is:
Alice
Various Artists
Charlie
Various Artists
Eric
Various Artists
Grace
In other words each different value used for Album Artist with compilations, Various Artist, Original Cast, etc. may be listed multiple times at multiple locations within the Artist column instead of just once as expected.
So, is it just me? Anybody still on 9.1.0.79 or a Mac build care to confirm if they see the same?

Compilations need a value for album artist to keep them connected on an iPhone as I've noted elsewhere. However exploring the problem further it isn't even about compilations & various artists, it was just working with them that brought it to my attention. A more accurate description of the problem is:
With the new *Use Album Artists* feature turned on the artist pane fails to re-sort when you change the value of Album Artist or Sort Album Artist and does not update until you close and re-open iTunes.
E.g. Change "Albert King" to "King, Albert" in either Album Artist, Sort Album Artist or both and the entry in the Artists pane will stay put under A. Close iTunes and re-open and it will have moved to K.
I have already sent feedback with a link to this thread. Again it would be useful if any Mac or Win 9.1.0.79 users could confirm if they see the same behaviour.

Visual Composer 7.0.1 (EHP1) - Value Help only shows "Single Selection"

I tried to add a value help to a field that allows multiple selections. However, when I used the wizard through "Add Value Help" drop-down menu, I can only see one proposed selection - "Single selection". However this SAP help document (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/b5/036d391f074f769e00602634ee9960/content.htm) mentioned about the "Multiple selection" option. What I can do to make this selection available?
I am using VC 7.0.1 (EHP1). Thanks for any helps in advance.

Hi
Are you using 'BI Query' as 'data Service'? & are you creating value help for variable? If Yes -
Create necessary variable as 'Multiple Single Options' in your BEx query & then create value help in VC. Then it will allow multiple options or interval values.

SVS, EVS, and OVS, Value Help and Search Help

what and how to use SVS, EVS, and OVS, Value Help and Search Help in abap webdynpro...Can anyone please give example link or document...As i am able to get on ovs but unable to get rest of other

SVS and EVS are Web Dynpro Java specific types of value help. They do not exist in Web Dynpro ABAP. In Web Dynpro ABAP we have Data Dictionary based Search Help, OVS, and Freely Programmed Value Help. In WDA 7.02 we have the slight variant on DDic Search Help called Suggest Values. It doesn't change the development model, just the runtime user experience.
You can read more about each of the types of WDA based value help in the online help:

How to use cfloop index value as part of another variable

Hello,
I have a RATE form that first asks "how many rates will you
be adding?" that answer generates a series of form elements based
on the answer. You then have a form grid to populate, 3 values for
each rate (price, code, name).
This part works fine. The issue is now I need to INSERT the
values into the table, so I need to use the INDEX value of the
cfloop to recreate the amount (and names) of the fields in the
INSERT statement. How do I escape, or re-create the evaluated form
elements ( in which their count is #i# as the loop goes) when I
need to evaluate for #i# AND evaluate for #form.sku_i_name# at the
same pass?
I am passing, for example, #form.sku_2_Name# where that might
equal "Half Page". The number 2 in that variable was assigned
during the form creation by the current index of a cfloop. Since my
action (insert) page does not know how many (out of 50 possible)
sku's are coming, how do I use the skuCount (another hidden value
passed as well) to create a proper INSERT SQL command when I need
to eval the form element and the index at the same time?
Obviously #sku_#i#_Name# does not work, and #sku_i_Name# does
not either... I know this can be done, and that I am just doing it
wrong.
Thanks for any help!

how it works
As all three of us indicated you use array notation for this
type of
requirement. In ColdFusion you can use array notation or dot
notation
to access structure data. Almost all data in ColdFusion is
now some
type of structure.
I.E. #Form['myField']# is the same as #Form.myField#.
The advantage is that with array notation you can do things
you can not
do with dot notation. You can reference elements that have
keys that
are illegal variable names such as one with a space.
I.E. #url['my field'] is allowed, #url.my field# would fail
or course.
And you can concatenate the key string as we did with your
example.
I.E. #Form['aString' & aVariable]#
There are many powerful things one can do with this
knowledge. One can
access record sets with array notations. This can allow for
very
sophisticated parsing of a record set.
I.E. #myQuery['column'][row]#
You can dynamical call a variable. Thus creating dynamic code
that does
not even need to know what variables exist until run time.
I.E. #variables[anyName]#
This just scratches the surface.

How do you use user defined error messages in Value Help?

Hi,
I'm currently working on a Modifiable Value Help Selector in Web Dynpro Java, and I want to use a user defined error message when I validate the values entered by a user. Currently, it's returning its default error message ("Character <string> does not match...").
Since the project requires a different error message, is there a way to override the default error message and use my defined error message instead?
Thanks!

Hi Angelo,
I am not sure why message area is showing both Custom and inbuilt messages but you can try the following:
i guess you must be using reportContextAttribute exception for showing Error messages on the input fields as well.in that case you can disable the message area so messages will appear only on the Context level ie; on input fields.
For other messages apart from validation messages you can enable the message area before reporting the exception.
make sure the boolean context variable which will be used for enabling and disabling the message area should have Readonly property set as true.
I am not sure whether this is the only solution for this but you can try and see if it works.

Using Wildcards in Value Help

Hi,
I have a input filed ZPERNR and i have assigend PREMN search help on this field.
I am able to search people in the organisation and it all works great until I use wildcards
When I enter SMITH in the last name in the value help it comes back with the list of people whose last name is SMITH
Problem:
When I enter SMITH* in the last name I get no results
In the SQL trace I noticed it changed my SMITH* to smith%
Not sure if there is any sap note to this issue
Any ideas?

Hi Jörg,
Yes the icon (Pattern) does appear after I enter, however I still don't get any results.
The weird thing is the value help works perfectly alright in r/3
Not sure why it is not working for me in the portal.
Thanks for your reply

Using S_RS_AUTH in VALUE HELP ?

Hi, thanks for your time.
I have problems with the use of the subject to S_RS_AUTH in BI 7.
For example, my object is ZCOUNTRY_CL and used 0COUNTRY with the "CL".
In the "Value Help" from Visual Composer displays all countries, while in BI7 shows only those countries that are within the authority.
The idea that I can think of is to create a ZBAPI to call a Query that I return the country of approval, Using for this RSCRM_BAPI or something similar in BI 7.
I would appreciate if you could indicate some other option to upload in the "Value Help" values of authority, or give me any suggestions to improve my idea.

Return each value only once using cfloop query

Hi,
I have some code that dynamically populates a cfselect list and then populates a second list based on those values. Everything seems to be working fine, except that all values are being pulled from the database, and there are duplicates in most cases. For example, value 1S1W diplays in the drop-down menu 10 times, where I would only like it there once.
Is there a way to have one of each value in my list?
<cfif isDefined('form.select_Main_Group')>
    <cfset page.select_Main_Group = form.select_Main_Group>
</cfif>
<cfoutput>
<form name="DropDown" method="post">

<CFQUERY name="get_Main_Group" datasource="ds" dbtype="odbc">
SELECT *
          FROM slco_sire.dbo.area_reference_plats_doc INNER JOIN slco_sire.dbo.area_reference_plats_page
          ON    slco_sire.dbo.area_reference_plats_doc.doc_id = slco_sire.dbo.area_reference_plats_page.doc_id
          ORDER BY page_description
</CFQUERY>


<select name="select_Main_Group" required="yes" onchange="this.form.submit()">

                    ON    slco_sire.dbo.area_reference_plats_doc.doc_id = slco_sire.dbo.area_reference_plats_page.doc_id
        WHERE SECTION = '#page.select_Main_Group#'
   </cfquery>
   
   <select name="select_Sub_Group" required="yes">
      <option>Select Section</option>
      
      <cfloop query="get_Sub_Group">
         <option value="#SECTION#">#SECTION#</option>
      </cfloop>
   </select>
</cfif>
</form>
</cfoutput>

Emily,
OK. Yes it is possible. Change your first query to:
SELECT DISTINCT TOWNSHIP_RANGE
          FROM slco_sire.dbo.area_reference_plats_doc INNER JOIN slco_sire.dbo.area_reference_plats_page
          ON    slco_sire.dbo.area_reference_plats_doc.doc_id = slco_sire.dbo.area_reference_plats_page.doc_id
          ORDER BY TOWNSHIP_RANGE
</CFQUERY>
Notice I removed any mention of SECTION, because it's irrelevant to generating a unique list of TOWNSHIP_RANGE. Also, GROUP BY is not needed, but an ORDER BY will sort the records in alphanumeric order.
Then you need to modify your code where you generate the option list for the first pulldown:
<option value="#get_Main_Group.TOWNSHIP_RANGE#" <cfif StrucKeyExists(form,'select_Main_Group') AND form.select_Main_Group eq "#get_Main_Group.TOWNSHIP_RANGE#">selected</cfif>>#get_Main_Group.TOWNSHIP_RANGE#</option>
Here I did a couple of things beside changing SECTION references to TOWNSHIP_RANGE . It's a good idea to add the query name prefix to column names when you output them so that you avoid collisions with variables that have the same name. I also reduced your <CFIF> statements to one compound statement for simplicity, and replaced the IsDefined with a StructKeyExists function. This is considered to be better practice and won't throw an error when used in a compound statement (if you kept the IsDefined statement and tried that in a compound selection, it can sometimes throw errors if the variable in the IsDefined doesn't exist).
Now, your second query should be something like:
<cfquery name="get_Sub_Group" datasource="ds" dbtype="odbc">
        SELECT DISTINCT SECTION
        FROM slco_sire.dbo.area_reference_plats_doc INNER JOIN slco_sire.dbo.area_reference_plats_page
                    ON    slco_sire.dbo.area_reference_plats_doc.doc_id = slco_sire.dbo.area_reference_plats_page.doc_id
        WHERE TOWNSHIP_RANGE = '#page.select_Main_Group#'
        ORDER BY SECTION
   </cfquery>
Here I changed the WHERE clause to filter based on the TOWNSHIP_RANGE you selected in the first pull-down. This should now return a list of SECTIONs that match the TOWNSHIP_RANGE selected in the first pull-down.
Lastly, some minor changes to the option list for the second pulldown:
<option value="#get_Sub_Group.SECTION#">#get_Sub_Group.SECTION#</option>
One other thing I noticed. If you are on ColdFusion 8 or 9, the dbytpe="odbc" is no longer needed. I'm assuming you are using an ODBC database connection to something like MS Access. If so, you can omit the dbytype entirely. It's only needed now if you do query-of-query queries, where it would be dbtype="query".

Sql sript for Insert of data with repeating values

It has been a long long time since I had to do write and use any SQL scripts, please forgive the question. I used to use a script to insert values into a table as part of my job. I have forgotten what the script I used was and since lost all my Oracle note books and other DBA material.
I did a search and went through 30 pages of results, I didn't see what I'm looking for.
The data is from one large file that is appended at the end and sometimes updated somewhere in the middle of the set which is considered new data. I am not concern with getting the data out of the file, I got that handled but the insert into the table - transactions - is where I'm lost.
I used to use a script to load the data, about 6 years ago, and it would load the file, exclude the data that was already in the table and insert the new data and the data with the changes.
The data columns are date, time, reference, transaction code, location, debit amount, fee amount, balance.
The date repeats but the time and reference values are unique.
Any help with this script is appreciated.

Hi,
welcome to the forum..!
You can use Oracle's merge statement to (update + insert) data into a table ... if the data exists update it with the new values and if it does not, then insert it.
Here's a link to get you started...
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_9016.htm
Since, the data is from a file, you could create an external table on the file and directly do a select from the file.
MERGE INTO bonuses D
   USING (SELECT employee_id, salary, department_id FROM employees
   WHERE department_id = 80) S
   ON (D.employee_id = S.employee_id)
   WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET D.bonus = D.bonus + S.salary*.01
     DELETE WHERE (S.salary > 8000)
   WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (D.employee_id, D.bonus)
     VALUES (S.employee_id, S.salary*0.1)
     WHERE (S.salary <= 8000);in the above example, the
SELECT employee_id, salary, department_id FROM employeesis the source data. instead of loading the file into a temporary table and then merge into the target table , you could read from <<<external_table_on_your_file>> and then do a merge into the target table.

If you encounter any problems, please post the full description of your error.
Thanks,
Rajesh.
Please mark this/any other answer as helpful or answered if it is so. If not, provide additional details/feedback.

Web Report - Hide Repeated Values

My web report hides repeated values regardless of the query setting.
Is there any way to set a specific column to not hide repeated values? Using the table API?
Thanks!

dear Kenneth,
have you try to remove the check mark of properties 'suppress repeated text' in 'specific' section of your web item 'table' in web template ?
or you can give parameter SUPPRESS_REPETITION_TEXTS for web item 'table' with value blank
<param name='SUPPRESS_REPETITION_TEXTS' value=' '>

Repost: Use Page-scope expressions in Value expressions

Dear Adam Winer and expert group,
I woud like to repost my problem. I had posted this in an earlier thread today. The issue that I would
like to raise is regarding being able to use page-scoped beans in value expressions. I am trying to
port some screens from Struts to JSF. Struts allows you to assign page-scoped beans to its input
components. Adam Winer, you have been very helpful to me. I hope this issue can be solved.
Thanks,
Ajay
Dear Adam Winer,
I must admit that I am not able to understand your post properly. It is certainly because I have not
properly understood the JSF architecture properly as yet.
JSF automatically shows model bean values in the browser, and takes user input back into the model bean.
But it would be nice to have the following scenario to work out....
1. The JSP assigns the (initial) value to the JSF component.
2. This value is displayed in the browser.
3. When the user submits the form, the value goes to the model bean.
Your post seems to indicate that the above is not possible. Could there not be any architectural
workaround to make this possible ?
Your post also seems to indicate that it is not possible to use an action from within a <c:forEach>.
The following could also be perhaps ok (if it doesnt cause some other problem).
<h:input_text initValue="#{pageScopeBean.someValue}" value="#{someBean.someValue}"><f:parameter initValue="#{status.count}" value="#{DataTable.selectedIndex}" />
Perhaps, the expert team can come up with some brilliant solution. I am really keen.
Ajay
P.S ("Delayed execution", "Immediate execution", "does not exist on subsequent requests" are presently
Greek and Latin to me.)
No, that's not really possible, and it's not because
we didn't try!
"#{}" syntax means "evaluate this later". It has to
mean that, for lots of reasons, including the need to
evaluate these values on subsequent requests, and to
evaluate these values repeatedly when a repeater
component (like data_table) renders its output.
Obviously, pageScope.status.count won't exist on
subsequent requests, so that bit is hopeless. But it
won't necessarily even work in the middle of the page,
because there's no guarantee that the value of that
<f:parameter> will only be used during the execution
of <c:forEach>.
We'd considered adding support for both delayed
execution - "#{}" - and immediate execution - "${}" on
JSF attributes, which would enable an example like
this, but decided not to, for two reasons. First, it
would be very confusing. Second, it actually opened a
small security hole to do so that can't be solved
without changes to the JSP EL architecture.
-- Adam Winer (EG member)

Dear Adam Winer,
I read your post again and understood what you mean by "delayed execution" and "immediate execution".
I am sorry, I think I read your post too quickly and hence didnt compherehend it.
Please let me know if you think an alternative syntax such as
<h:input_text initValue="#{pageScopeBean.someValue}" value="#{myBean.someValue}"/>Perhaps, this is not so different from the "#{}" and "${}" syntax that was discussed in the expert group.
I am trying to imagine why a security loop-hole could be caused. If Struts doesnt have any problem
getting values from a page-scoped bean, why does JSF have the problem ?
Thanks for your help.

Initialising F4-Value-Help for date

I want the F4-Help for a date field to show a month different from the current one.
By default the month containing sy-datum is displayed.
I want the popup to start in another month.
I tried already to create a search help and setting the startdate in a function module of it's group.
This worked in SAPGui, but did not in Web Dynpro.
Does anybody have an idea, how to implement this.
Thanks in advance
Bernhard

You would have to create Freely Programmed Value Help and within the layout of the Value Help create your own Data Picker using the DataNavigator UI element. With the Freely Programmed Value Help approach, you can ignore the current value in the bound context and start with any values you want. The downside will be that it won't be quite a user friendly. Instead of the quick calendar pop in place, you will get the full value help popup window.
