How to define and populate value to a variable in a text file

hi all,
i have a text file on unix server, when i read it through open dataset, is it possible to populate dynamic value to a variable in the text file. and is it possible to define a variable at any place in the text file?
after this the program will send the internal table for emailing.
thanks.

Hi, If this file on server is a email template you can put some tags / marks and you can change it after you read it with OPEN DATASET / READ...
Sample:
OPEN DATASET p_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
CHECK sy-subrc EQ 0.
DO.
READ DATASET p_file INTO lv_string.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
REPLACE ALL OCCURENCES OF '((SYSTEM_ID))' WITH sy-sysid.
APPEND input_file_tab.
ENDDO.
CLOSE DATASET p_file.
on file there's a line with:
This email was generated on server ((SYSTEM_ID))
It will be translated to (sy-sysid = DEV):
This email was generated on server DEV
This is a "variable" like that you can use.

Changing a variables length for text input in Captivate 6

I am using eLearning CS6 (non-subscription I believe, but no one at my office can confirm) and use a machine where all software is deployed via push from IT. The ability to check for updates has been removed from me.
I need to be able to have users enter data into the course and have it both be forwarded on to our database AND appear in later segments of the course.
I recall being able to update the TEB variable length in previous versions but can not find the option anywhere in CS6. or perhaps I'm imaging it.
I am running version 6.0.1.240 and there is no Format option in my TEB properties. I do not see alignment options, and instead see Characters as a menu above the Shadow & Reflection option.
I do know where to set the value in a text caption box. However, I seem to be limited to entering a single variable in the caption field in order for this to be option. However, there are times where we'd rather have multiple variables strung together on a single line, or a word or two of static text appearing before or after the variable.
If I want to string the user entered data from multiple variables into a single caption box there appears to be no way to change the variable's character length from 15 to a higher value.
Does anyone know of another way to work around this other than through the use of multiple caption boxes?
I've been driving myself a bit batty trying to think of a way around the 1 caption 1 variable limit...
Thanks.
Note: Please don't advise me to upgrade. I've already been told the office will not pay for an update to the software so quickly on the heels of our upgrade from CS 5.5 to CS6 (happened within a 6 month span).

15 characters is the default when you insert the variable into a text caption. But you can set this to anything from 1 to about 250...as long as you use the Insert Variable icon in the Properties tab > Format accordion to insert the variable. Look for the field in the dialog that allows you to specify the variable's display length.

I want to use text module in my Adobe form to display text .
Problem is that i want to insert a variable dynamically in text module i.e.
My text is:
For example : "In the period from &EMPLOYEE_DETAIL-PERIOD& you have not paid your tax:"
Now EMPLOYEE_DETAIL is a structure in context of form with period as field .
I want that data stored in this field should come in adobe,right now instead of data this text &EMPLOYEE_DETAIL-PERIOD& comes i.e. this is considered as text
I tried this with SO10 by clicking on the "add" icon, i am getting a pop up screen with the following option. can you please help me which option to select and how to define the variable?
Options given in pop up screen
1. Symbols,
2. Command,
3. Text Element,
4. Comment,
5. SAP Characters
6. Link
6.1 Char Format
6.2 Key
6.3 Text
if suppose i am using the wrong button please tell me where i can find this "add" button.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
Use the floating field in Adobe.
Use a Static Text Field and Insert the Field EMPLOYEE_DETAIL-PERIOD from your Data View

Inserting in-line variable into a text field

Hello,
I want to add a variable within a text field (dymanic value within a sentence). Basically, I want the form to display something like the following:
"The person named <person name> is an employee of the company"
The only way I could do this so far is by creating three elements on the form: the first is a text element that contains "The person named", the seond is a text field element with no label that contains the "<person name>" variable, and the third is another text element that contains "is an employee of the company."
I don't really like this approach as if the name of the employee is too long, it might get cut off. If it was too short, there will be a lot of extra space between the name and the rest of the sentence.
Another solution is to pass a string variable with the complete text (I'll have to build the string before calling the form). Similarly, I can pass an internal table with the text. I don't think either of these two solutions is ideal as LifeCycle designer should provide an easier way to do so (just like in SmartForms).

Hi Abdullah Azzouni ,
This is possible to add a dynamic text between the static text in Adobe form.
For that suppose you have a Static Text field TEXT1 on your layout. Just right click over the text inside this field and on the pop-up choose "Floating Text". It will create a textfield in your subform. Now bind this newly created textfield to the field in the datasource say PERNR in your case.
It will appear like: "The person named is an employee of the company"
In this way you can add a dynamic text in between your static text in a text field.

Error message uploading 0material text and attributes.

Dear all,
i have received an error message when uploading 0material text and attributes.
Error message is as follows:
RSDMD 194
Data record 512 & with the key '000000000000000081T &' is invalid in
value '000000000000000081 &' of the attribute/characteristic 0MATERIAL
The system has recognized that the value mentioned above is invalid, and
has processed this general error message. A subsequent message may give
you more information on the error. This message refers to the same
value, even though it does not state this explicitly.
any help?
thanks

Hi john mcquade,
Your error message says it all!
You have your 0material with wrong info to be loaded, check your PSA the records with error (should begin in record 512) and see what is inserted as 0material (probably you're missing some zeros before the number).
You could compare that record with another one (less than the record 512) to see an example of a material that has the right input and this one that exists here with errors.
Diogo.

OMBPlus - TCL - reading variables out of text file

Hello,
i want to read out variables from a text file.
For example to connect
OMBCONNECT $login/$pass@$host:1522:$service
and those 4 variables are in a text file.
i'm a newbie, so it could be a stupid question
thanks!

I should point out that, if you are just using this for variable config then there is a far easier way to do this. Put the assignments in a separate .tcl file and then simply use the "source" command to read it. This becomes very handy as you start to build a library of functions that you will want to re-use across multiple scripts. Think of the command "source" to mean "copy that file and paste it into this one right here"
For example, I have a config file and a library file.
The config file might look like:
#file config.tcl
# GLOBAL VARIABLE DECLARATION SECTION
#CORPORATE DESIGN REPOSITORY CONNECTION INFORMATION
# Login info for the design repository owner
set OWB_DEG_USER    michael
set OWB_DEG_PASS    mypassword
set OWB_DEG_HOST    ourhost.company.net
set OWB_DEG_PORT    1611
set OWB_DEG_SRVC    orcl And a library file of functions called omb_library.tcl
Now, in all my scripts it starts with:
# File Some_Script.tcl
# Get Current Script name (excluding file extension), Directory and time
set dtstmp     [ clock format [clock seconds] -format {%Y%m%d_%H%M}]
set scrpt      [ file split [file root [info script]]]
set scriptDir [ file dirname [info script]]
set scriptName [ lindex $scrpt [expr [llength $scrpt]-1]]
# Library and config file are in same directory as the script
set cnfg_lib "$scriptDir/config.tcl"
set owb_lib "$scriptDir/omb_library.tcl"
# Import Library and config file
#get config file
source $cnfg_lib
#get standard library
source $owb_lib
# Create a subdirectory under the runnign directory, and create a log-file
#   in that directory based on the script name and timestamp
set LOG_PATH "$scriptDir/logs"
file mkdir $LOG_PATH
set    SPOOLFILE ""
append SPOOLFILE $LOG_PATH "/log_" $scriptName "_" $dtstmp ".txt"With this block I eliminate the need to hardcode directories. As long as my config and library files are located with the script I can deploy them anywhere and they will get read and used.
Cheers,
Mike

Quiz Variable Not Tracking Text Box Responses

Hello Everyone,
I am having a problem getting the Captivate Quiz variable to track correct responses from a text box. I am using Captivate 5 and trying to make a quiz where someone will enter in data that will be validated and branch off of their responses. I have set up several text boxes, turned on validating, checked the "Include in Quiz" box and the add to total and report answers boxes. See the pic below:
I am trying to branch using an advanced action that checks the cpQuizInfoPointsscored variable and branches them based off their score. But the variable always shows 0! (I set up a text caption to display the variable as I went through to check.) Here is the weird part, I have the quiz results slide in the presentation, and IT accurately shows the results from the test boxes. But for some reason the Quiz Variable isn't tracking them! Any help??

Hello and welcome to the forum,
From your question I know that you are using CP5.0, correct? This 'bug' has been fixed in Captivate 5.5. Was one of the users who had insisted (by bug report) to have all Quizzing System variables updated after each question, and not only when the quiz was done, on the score slide; now you are bumping into this issue: the score in cpQuizInfoPointsscored will be tracked and will have the scores attached to the Text Entry Boxes or for any other scoreable object (all show up in the Advanced Interaction view - F9) but only at the score slide.
I had a workaround in CP5 (have described it somewhere in an article or a blog post), using the Quizzing variable that IS updated after each question: cpQuizInfoLastSlidePointScored.
If you want to have the functionality of CP5.5 you'll have to track the total score in a user variable by advanced actions. It is not really that hard, since you are already using advanced actions, step-by-step
create a user variable v_currentscore
on entering each question slide have this statement executed (if you do not have already an advanced action for this Enter event, and this is the only statement, better add Continue as second statement)
Expression v_currentscore = v_currentscore + cpQuizInfoLastSlidePointScored
now you can use this user variable for your check instead of cpQuizInfoPointsscored, you understand that it is only updated on the slide after the slide where the question is answered? Let me know if this is a problem

Reading variables from a text file into a flash projector exe

I am using Flash CS4 and my script is in ActionScript2.
I am developing a flash projector file that runs when a user puts in a cd to guide them through the steps they need to install a program and then kicks off the installer.
I use fscommand to run a utility that reads the users registry to determine the PCs regional settings and then writes this to a text file in the users %temp% directory.
I then use the LoadVariablesNum command to read in the text file and get the variables.
This was working fine when I had the text file stored in a different directory, but when I try and refer to the %temp% directory, I get an Error opening file message.
Is there anyway to get flash to look in the %Temp% directory?
Thanks in advance,
Carol Lutz

Code-tags sometimes cause wonders, I replaced # with *, as the code tags interprets # as comment, which looks odd:
******...*.........To your code: Did you test it step by step, to find out about what is read? You could either use a debugger (e.g., if you have an IDE) or system outs to get a clue. First thing to check would be, if the maze size is read correctly. Further, the following loops look odd:for(int i = 0; i < maze.length; i++) {
    for(int x = 0; x < maze.length; x++) {
        if (input.hasNextLine()) {
            String insert = input.nextLine();
            maze[x] = insert.charAt(x);
}Shouldn't the nextLine test and assignment be in the outer loop? And assignment be to each maze's inner array? Like so:for(int i = 0; i < maze.length; i++) {
    if (input.hasNextLine()) {
        String insert = input.nextLine();
        for(int x = 0; x < insert.size(); x++) {
            maze[i][x] = insert.charAt(x);
}Otherwise, only one character per line is read and storing a character actually should fail.

Help using repository variable in dashboard text

Hi,
we have a dashboard section that shows current announcements regarding data issues, etc. This is just using a plain text object on the dashboard. I need to add the following to the top of the text: "Data loaded on xx/xx/xxxx".
I've created a static repository variable called "DW_LOAD_DATE" and populated it with the proper date/time.
I'm 100% able to use this in an answers query, but I'm stuck trying to figure out how to get it to show up in a dashboard plain text section with no Answers behind it. I've tried:
{biserver.variables['DW_LOAD_DATE']}
@{biserver.variables['DW_LOAD_DATE']}
{biserver.variables[DW_LOAD_DATE]}
@{biserver.variables[DW_LOAD_DATE]}
In all cases, the only thing that shows up is the exact text from above - the substitution isn't being done properly. Can someone help, I'm obviously doing something dumb.
Thanks!
Scott

Ok, I got the following to work (kind of):
@{biServer.variables['DW_LOAD_DATE']}
I was thrown off because the "preview" window shows it as the above string without doing the variable substitution.
Now my last question - the above variable is stored as a TIMESTAMP, because in some cases we need to know the time in addition to the date. When it's showing in the dashboard text, I see the following:
Data was last loaded on TIMESTAMP '2011-01-06 18:00:00'
Is there a simple way to format this so it shows up like:
Data was last loaded on 1/6/2011 18:00:00
Thanks!
Scott
