Using "FIND IN TABLE" to search in selected columns

Hi,
I want to use "FIND" to search for a pattern in certain table columns only, but ABAP Keyword Documentation ([FIND IN TABLE itab|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPFIND_ITAB.htm]) does not state about this option.
Is it possible to do so?
Thanks,
Joon Meng

Hi,
1. if you want to find particular record u can use
READ TABLE itab { table_key | free_key | index } result.
2. if you want to compare the fied value level u can use
log_exp - Logical Expressions
CO, CN, CA, NA, CS, NS, CP, NP

Issue using "Find" in Bridge to search external drive

When using "Find" in Bridge (version 2.1.1.9) in CS3 to search for files on an external hard drive I must either check "Include Non-Indexed Files" or go to the external drive and build the cache for the folders I want to search. Otherwise the files will not be found.
Having to build the cache in the external drive or use non-indexed search slows down the search process. Is there a way around this. Bridge preferences are set to "Automatically Export Caches to Folders". I use SyncBack for back up to the external drive.

Thank you for the reply. I thought that once the cache is built and exported to a folder, that folder would be indexed and ready for a search by Find. And when copying that folder to another drive the files would remain indexed and available to a search by Find on that drive.
I have not copied the central cache to the external drive. So I assume that when using Find to search the external drive it is looking at the caches in each folder on that drive.

Using a derived table name in a select ...

In SQL or PL/SQL am I able to use the derived value of a colu,n (which holds a table name) to run an SQL.
Basically I want to perform a "select count(*) from table" where table is a list of tables held in another, eg all_tables.
EG:
all_tables has
TABLE1
TABLE2
TABLE3
and I want to get
TABLE1 100
TABLE2 50
TABLE3 110
Thanks

How to use CheckBox in Table to do mulit-selection in Creator2 Update1?

Hi.
I put CheckBox(checkbox1) into Table to do a multi-selection effect..
and I set checkbox1's selected to true to make default selection.
however checkbox1 doesn't show selected in at Design Time in Creator2 , and also at Runtime in Firefox.
then I put another CheckBox(checkbox2) outside the Table, and set selected to ture.
chekcbox2 is default selected both in Designtime and Runtime.
I am confused about that
And, more troubles is, I can't know which Row datas were checked.
I call CheckBox.getSelected(checkbox1.getID()) got NULL.
I call checkbox1.getSelected() got NULL.
Then I write a TableDataProvider to handle this Table and always return Boolean.TRUE at selection field
But still no work.
Does anyone know how to do multi-selection in Table?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
I also test RadioBox in Table and set RadioBox named 'rbSelection' , the table is bind to a dataprovider.
But, It does't work, too.
I can't get the selection from any API I know in a Button action (outside of Table)
RadioButton.getSelected(rbSelection.getName())) return null
rbSelection.getSelectedValue() return true
rbSelection.getSelected()) return null
rbSelection.getSubmittedValue()) return null
tableRowGroup1.getSelectedRowKeys().length size is 0
But when I use ((HttpServletRequest)this.getFacesContext().getExternalContext().getRequest()).getParameter("rbSelection")
I can get the correct selection result.
Is this a Creator2 bug or my mistake?
THANKS~

Using Find() in ExtendScript to search for Italics

I believe it would be the right place to place my query.
I'm trying to search for all Italics in my Document with Extendscript.
findParams = AllocatePropVals(1);
findParams[0].propIdent.num = Constants.FS_FindCharFmt;
findParams[0].propVal.valType = Constants.FT_String, etc..
How do I specify italic in the params?

[Thread split from original by moderator]

Michael,
First about the right place to place your query: you should start a new discussion instead, as your question will then appear in the list of topics rather than Oliver John's original question.
About your query:
Your code searches for a character format from the Character Catalog. If you have a character format that makes the text show up in Italics, you can use the name of that character format (which might or might not be "Italics"). But that will not include text sections that have been manually set to Italics (i.e. without applying a character format tag).
If you want to find all text in italics in your document, you should go via the text properties instead of the character format tags. That method will include all text that is set to italics, regardless of the method (manual overrides or character format tags). Spelling out the entire code would take me too much time right now, but the outline is as follows:
Loop through all Pgf objects in your document and do the following for each of them:
Use the GetText method with the parameter FTI_CharPropsChange.
In the array of TextItem objects, check whether the FTF_ANGLE property has changed.
If the FTF_ANGLE property has changed, you use GetTextProps on the start location of the TextItem to establish whether the found text string has Italics applied.
Good luck

Need a query to find a table by two of its column names

I work in software quality assurance. Oftentimes I am trying to figure out from which table data is being pulled, but the database has thousands of tables to look through. Instead of looking through all the tables, I just take a guess at one of the column names and execute a query like this:
SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.columns WHERE column_name like '%pur%code%'
That usually works, but occassionally it can return hundreds of table names which doesn't help me much. Instead, I'd like to form a query that could take two column names and return all the tables that have those columns.
So, in English, I want to say:
"Give me the names of all the tables that have a column named like %pur%code% and another column named like %client%loc%"
How do I do this?

One might have hoped that the QA guy actually had sufficient documentation to tell him which table information was "pulled from".
(or is he actually checking that the documentation is accurate and complete .... )

Using "find text" to select slides and assign master

Is there a way to select non-consecutive slides using a common text element (e.g. all slides that have a colon) so that I can assign a master to all at once?
In PowerPoint I would find all slides in slide tray view and they become highlighted. Then I would assign a common master. In Keynote I only see option to Replace All.
Thanks for any suggestions.

The find command does not select multiple slides.
You would have to find one slide at a time and individually apply the master to each, or once these slides are identified using find, command click these slides to select and then apply the master.

How to get Manual Receipt Data using PO & RCV tables in R12

Hi,
I'm building a query using PO & RCV tables, I need to select all the Manual Receipts (not the receipts generated automatically using the ASN & RCV files).
What condition should I use in the where clause for capturing only Manual Receipts?
Thanks.

Hi,
All the manual receipts will have NULL value in the INTERFACE_SOURCE_LINES_ID column in the RCV_TRANSACTIONS table for the TRANSACTION_TYPE="RECEIVE".
Thanks,

SOA 11g DBAdapter Polling using a Sequencing Table with a DATE Field

Hi.
I have implemented a polling solution using a sequencing table that references a DATE column. For the most part the poll works correctly, but on occasion, I am not seeing a BPEL process instantiation for various records that get created in my source table.I have also noticed that in this particular case, the DATE field content on one or more source records is exactly the same --> "YYYYMMDDhhmmss".
I just want to confirm here, that the polling adapter should be able to pick up multiple records from the source table, even though the date field is exactly the same. As well, how should I go about trying to debug this issue, if point #1 is handled by the system. Is there is a specific log or trace file that I can look at. Also, could I be facing a timing issue ?
Can someone please comment on this.
Thanks.

In my table, I don't see a primary key, but only a unique index. I would assume then, that this would be analogous to the primary key capture; noticed that currently this code was only using one column out of two, from the unique index itself.
Also, is the date content issue that I mentioned above a moot point then, based upon not having the correct primary key/unique key data pointers established ?
Thanks.

How to find out that particular structure is used in which tables

Hello Friends,
Most of the times through techinal information we come to know the table name for a particular field.And in se16 when i give that table name than system says its structure and not the table.So in se11 when i give that structure name in database table field, its shows all the field in that structure, but not the data stored in that field.
So my question is how to find out that particular structure is used in which tables,so that i can view data stored in that structure?
Thanking you guys in advance.
Regards,
Jitendra

Dear,
When you click on the technical information it will give the structure name and field, double click on the structure and it will take you the display structure screen, there you will have the where-used List icon (Ctrl + Shift + F3) at the top , click on that and it will show the options, select Database tables and execute, it will give the tables related to the structure, you can explore the list of tables and find where your required field is stored in them.
Thanks & Regards,

Possible to code a Find/Find Next feature for use inside a Table Control

Hello,
I have a Table Control that displays many lines. Is it possible to code a Find/Find Next feature that would allow the user to enter a 'keyword' then search each line of the Table Control for existing matches?
I have provided the user with various Selection Criteria that will filter the table control results, but there are still too many lines to visually scan for the desired result.
I am guessing that I would place an input box and a 'Find' button onto my layout screen. Then in user command, I have to scroll through each line of the table control and check every value to see if the string contains 'keyword' When found, stop and display table control assigning current line as Top line?
Am I on the right track or is there a better solution already?
Kind Regards,
MPersson

I've done that. It works pretty well. You might want to allow the user to search only in selected column(s) as well.

Using column value is it possible to find the table name in the database?

Hi all,
using column value is it possible to find the table name in the database?
guys i need the table value
Note:

Hi,
As far as I understand what you are asking for I would suggest 4 data dictionaries that will help you to know the table name from the column names
1. USER_TAB_COLS
2. ALL_TAB_COLS
3. DBA_TAB_COLS
4. COLS
These can give you detail information about the columns and respective tables at user, schema, dba level. Further information on the table can be found by querying ALL_OBJECTS table giving table_name as Object_name, or you can join the data dictionaries too.
To know about various data dictionaries avalible in Oracle please query select * from cat;
Let us know if you need further assistance.

Find all tables used in a stored procedure

Hi,
I have a requirement where i have to find all the tables used in a stored procedures from different databases.
Ex: i have a stored procedure where i use few tables from MASTER database and some from STAGE database.When i have written a query to find all tables used in the stored procedure, i am getting only those database table where i run the query and procedure
exists.
I have stored procedure SP1 in Master database, but i use the tables from both master and stage.
When i run this, i am getting the tables only from Master database but not from stage. i hope my requirement is clear.
I am trying to find all the tables from all databases used by a stored proc.
;WITH stored_procedures AS (
SELECT
o.name AS proc_name, oo.name AS table_name,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(partition by o.name,oo.name ORDER BY o.name,oo.name) AS row
FROM sysdepends d
INNER JOIN sysobjects o ON o.id=d.id
INNER JOIN sysobjects oo ON oo.id=d.depid
WHERE o.xtype = 'P')
SELECT proc_name, table_name FROM stored_procedures
WHERE row = 1
ORDER BY proc_name
Please advice

Your question is not entirely clear. You need to run the query on different databases.
