Variable text in Label - Syntax

Hi,
I need to add a variable to my key figure labels in BEx.
I'm quite new to this area and I cannot find the syntax for this.
Does anyone know how to write this?
Currently I've written it like this, without results:
Key figure &variable&
Br
Max

Hi,
I guess I was a bit unclear in my first post.
I have created a text variable, so far so good.
Lets say the variable technical name is VAR_TECHNICAL.
The problem I'm having is that when I put the following text in my key figure description field:
Key Figure &VAR_TECHNICAL&
results in (when running the report):
Key Figure &VAR_TECHNICAL&
This syntax is correct? If so I can start investigating the text variable itself.
Br
Max
Edit:
I want the value of the variable to be shown in the label.

Can't hide text field label..only text field

I'm trying to display text field boxes on a form to fill out when a box is checked. I'm able to do this for the actual text field, but can't figure out how to hide then show the associated text field label. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
var nHide =
event.target.isBoxChecked (0) ? display.visible:display,hidden;
this.getField ("Name").display = nHide; this.getField

First of all, you're using Acrobat JavaScript in an XFA form, which doesn't work.
LiveCycle Designer has its own interpretation of JavaScript, which is different to Acrobat.
There is also a second scripting language called FormCalc available.
Its syntax is much easier to learn and is matches perfectly to manipulate XFA forms.
Check the help (F1 button) in Designer to get the Designers scripting guide.

[AS] Access Text Frame Labels in CS5

Hello Everyone,
I am updating a CS2 InDesign AppleScript to CS5 and finding an issue accessing the text frame labels. In CS2 the script below would set the variable x to the contents of the text frame "bob", unfortunately, this script not longer works in CS5.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
        set x to contents of text frame "bob" of active document
end tell
The documentation tells users how to insert text, but not access it. If anyone has an idea of how to do this in CS5 I would appreciate it.

Got it!
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5"
     tell active document
          set x to contents of item 1 of all page items whose label is "bob"
     end tell
end tell

"There was an error opening this document. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is i

"There was an error opening this document. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."
I tried different versions, no avail.
I think it has to do with the password somehow, but I do not know. I can copy the files from the web folder to my desktop and they open fine (after entering the password AGAIN), but I can not open them directly form the web folder - it does not ask for the password again, just pops up the error.
Adobe's support really upset me (insert explicative here) by keeping me on the phone for 20 min, collecting all sorts of information about me (not the problem) with some lady who barely spoke English, just to tell me to go to the website. No surprise they need to charge for tech support, customer service is doing everything but "service". I hate companies that do this. I am thinking of using another PDF reader, I have heard good things about them. Check
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PDF_software
Has anyone ever been able to find a fix? I can not find anything on this site.

Howdy, Moritz!
Thanks for the suggestion, but this is not an issue of filename and language conflicts, at least in my environment. I highly doubt that's the root cause of this issue.
The PDF files in my tests have all had very simple names, such as 123.pdf and test.pdf, as well as more complicated names with spaces in them. Nothing about the files contains anything outside of the English language, including the content and filenames.
From everything I've been able to determine, this is a WebDAV-related security issue that affects programs like Acrobat Reader. I know for a fact that MS's KB892211 WebDAV patch doesn't create the issue, however MS's update to that 892211 patch DOES create the issue. As I've outlined earlier in this thread, my extensive testing has proven this more than once.
At this point, I haven't been able to accurately uninstall the update to 892211 after the update has been installed. And, as far as I can tell, the update to 892211 comes down from MS as a Office and/or Windows Update component. So, everyone has it, the uninstaller doesn't work, and there's no documentation detailing what registry entries are being changed when the update to 892211 is installed.
My ultimate goal is to bring a test machine to the point just before the update to 892211 goes on, fire up the Registry, Process, and File monitors on my test box, and install the 892211 update. This should give me an accurate picture of what I need to restore in order to rid the machine of the update to 892211.
Until Microsoft officially fixes the issue, I am not totally sure how this will be resolved. I've ceased my work on the issue for now since copying the PDF file from the WebDAV share to the user's desktop gets the user what they wanted in the first place - the ability to open the PDF file!
Maybe, once some other projects slow down a bit, I might get back to creating a solution, but it's going to be a "hack" no matter which way you slice it. I'd much rather MS spend their time creating the solution. If I have to do it, my fee to MS will be quite HIGH! :*)

How to change the text of label dynamically

Hi all,
I have done a dynpro program.It requires to implement the dynamically display the label text, for example: there is a label, sometimes, we want to display "Purchase Order" and sometimes we want to display "Sales Order". Can anyone tell me how to change the text of label according to my requirements? thanks in advance!

Hi Wei,
AS of now you will not be able to change the Text Field ( Label ) dynamically or at runtime. This is a limitation.Refer to this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e4/2adbef449911d1949c0000e8353423/frameset.htm
But, there is a way around.
You can make a text field Visible / Invisible based on your program logic. So, based on what you want, you can process a module which will take care of that.
Have a look at these DEMO Code. You can have a good idea to implement the logic.

Error: filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect

Using Acrobat Pro 8.1.3. and Flash CS3 ... Have a link on Flash site to a PDF file for people to print/download sheet ... When link is clicked, Acrobat opens and display the error message : "there was an error opening this document. The filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect" ...
Needless to say, all of these things are FINE with NO error whatsoever.
I know it's not Flash, the link itself works. Computer crashed 2 weeks ago, had to reinstall everything, including Acrobat Pro, and redownload updates ... All was working fine B4 crash (including link from flash and opening of linked files with Acrobat), not anymore since reinstall ... Wondering if some update/patch is messing it up ... Help anybody? Thanks a lot!

How do your users generate the link? Windows makes it surprisingly difficult to reference a file. I usually resort to 3rd party tools that allow me to copy a file name or path.
Much to my surprise, I find that if I use '''Insert|Link''' and ''browse'' to the required file, it generates a fully qualified URI and it works correctly when sent and received in Thunderbird. That's TB31.5.0 on Windows 7 Pro. So the transmitted URI will have this format:
<code>
file:///F:/projects/xyz/xyz%20Project%20Spend%20Production%205%20off.xls
</code>
It won't work if you just drop in a plain old DOS type filename.
Yes, it's a chore to browse to the required file when you have it in plain sight in front of you in your file manager. I'm using FreeCommander XE which is able to generate properly formed pathnames and copy them to the system clipboard, and these can be pasted as-is into message body, or pasted into the address box in the Insert|Link dialogue.

PDF forms - underlined variable text

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to create a PDF form with variable text fields in Acrobat 9 Pro and I see there are very limited possibilities in the text formatting. I can specify font, size, color, border, but there is missing any option how to switch on the underlining of the text. Is there any way how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance for any hint.
Regards,
Jan

You can add some JavaScript to your script that imports the data from the database and format the inserted text by using the span object to apply the underline property. The following ecample is from the Acrobat JavaScript API Reference.
Example
Write rich text to a rich text field using various properties. See the Field object
richValue property for more details and examples.
var f = this.getField("myRichField");
// Create an array to hold the Span objects
var spans = new Array();
// Each Span object is an object, so we must create one
spans[0] = new Object();
spans[0].alignment = "center";
spans[0].text = "The answer is x";
spans[1] = new Object();
spans[1].text = "2/3";
spans[1].superscript = true;
spans[2] = new Object();
spans[2].superscript = false;
spans[2].text = ". ";
spans[3] = new Object();
spans[3].underline = true;
spans[3].text = "Did you get it right?";
spans[3].fontStyle = "italic";
spans[3].textColor = color.red;
// Now assign our array of Span objects to the field using // field.richValue
f.richValue = spans;

Discoverer Plus - How to include variable text in the Title

Hi,
I need to include a variable text in the report like the user information or another information i woul like to obtain from a query that is not the standars date,time,... oracle discoverer plus improves us.
I tried with calculations associates to a parameters, but is not possible.
I hope i explained correctly.
Thanks,

This can be done by creating a parameter, then a calculation, then a condition. Then under "Edit Header" or Page Setup, choose "Header" or "Footer"as needed and choose to insert the Parameter.
Step by step Example instruction:
1-Create a parameter as follows:
--Item = NONE
--Name = "Workbook run by" (This will appear in the heading or title when workbook run)
--Prompt = "Please enter UserID in all capital letters"
--Description and Default value left blank
2-Create a Calculation
--In New Calculation choose "Function" then choose the function "USER" from Database. (This is all that the calculation will need.)
--Name Calculation = i.e.: "DB_USERID"
3-Create a condition as follows:
--Name = Request_UserID
--Item = DB_USERID
Condition = IN
Value = Choose parameter: Workbook run by
-Double click on worksheet title, choose Insert, then choose Parameter (This can be done the same way under Page Setup for Header and Footer
-The calculation will create an extra column which I put at the top as a Page Item
-This will force the user to enter the UserID they are logged in to Discoverer with.
-This is case sensative. Therefore, since all Databe IDs are stored on the Database in all-caps, then the user will have to enter in all caps as well.
Thanks,
Sutirtha

Variable text is blank in emails when using Scheduled Task to email event log notifications

I am trying to use powershell to email notification when a user account gets locked. I am running the script from a server 2008 domain controller.
I have tried multiple scripts and I have the same issue every time. The script works fine when I run it directly from the powershell command line window.
However whenever I try running the exact same scripts from an event-triggered scheduled task, the script runs, however any content that generated from a variable is not added to the email. It is just left blank and ignored.
I have tried adding lots of permissions including domain administrator group membership to the account runs the task from and it doesn't include all the expected text unless I run it from the built-in domain administrator account.
The task runs and the email is sent, but the email is missing all the content generated by variables.
How can this be fixed?
Here is an example script.
$AccountLockOutEvent = Get-EventLog -LogName "Security" -InstanceID 4740 -Newest 1
$LockedAccount = $($AccountLockOutEvent.ReplacementStrings[0])
$AccountLockOutEventTime = $AccountLockOutEvent.TimeGenerated
$AccountLockOutEventMessage = $AccountLockOutEvent.Message
$messageParameters = @{
Subject = "Account Locked Out: $LockedAccount"
Body = "Account $LockedAccount was locked out on $AccountLockOutEventTime.`n`nEvent Details:`n`n$AccountLockOutEventMessage"

By variable text I mean everything that it generates by using a variable such as the user's name ($LockedAccount)
and everything else such as $AccountLockOutEventTime and everything else that is generated from
a variable.
Nothing like that appears in the email only hard coded text.
I am not running it remotely. I am logged directly onto the domain controller and I tried giving
the account that is used to run the task more and more permissions including domain administrator group membership with the same result.
When I run the exact same script on the same domain controller locally via the powershell CLI all of the info appears.
This is the info when the email is generated by running the script directly from the powershell CLI:

Fix variable text (File Name) when importing INDD into INDD

More of a fix request than a new feature:
Simply put, the variable text (File Name) shows the file extension when the document is imported into another INDD regardless of the variable text specifications in the originating document. This is unexpected and undesired.
Please see problem description in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/489492?tstart=0

Seconded. Currently, I don't use this variable in this way, but I can envisage future scenarios where it would be a problem.
And it seems a strange thing to miss out on ... (why would an INDD file behave different?)

Preventing file extensions being added to variable text (File Name)-

…when one imports one INDD file (v5 or 6) into another. We have the variable text specifications set to exclude file extensions. The .indd does not publish in the originating document.
We use INDD import and the text variable "File Name" quite a lot.
TIA-
-Todd

I think he's saying that when you open an ID doc, the filename variabe inside can be set to report just the name, but when you import that same doc into another ID doc, the filename variable shows the ".indd" extension.
EDIT: Yes, that is (stupidly) how it seems to work. No idea how to fix it though. Suspect Adobe has to issue an update.

Server 2003 to 2008 DCPromo fails - "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect"

I've done the adprep32 on 2003 server standard for /forestprep, /domainprep, and /rodcprep without an error, as instructed by several docs on web. But in final stage of dcpromo on 2008 server standard, it fails with
Active Directory Domain Service could not replicate the directory partion CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=local from the remote Active Directory Domain Controller Old-DC.
"The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."
I've found several docs online, but non-helped. After about 20 hours of numbing fingers, I found docs to manually move DNS and DHCP from 2003 server to 2008 server. But the Active Directory on 2008 server won't start because I can't get that
DCPromo to finish.
Is there a way to manually move the login ID's and passwords to 2008 server and activate the Active Directory Service?
Thanks.

I've already looked at it, and used it to google. Tried every suggestion I could find. Below is snippet of the file:

Couldnot fnd useful info by googling...
Please let me know if anyone come across such an error?
Thanks,

Yes, same directory structure is created automatically when i tried to run the jsf page from jdeveloper, which was created newly from new project application.
previously once i tried of manually renaming "system11.1.2.4.39.64.36.1" to "system11", but when i ran my page, new dorectory "system11.1.2.4.39.64.36.1" created again and same error encountered.... then i removed two of the above... and just build the new project in jdeveloper and ran it... asked me for weblogic user and password, thats it ...page was running fine, when i got n check the directory same old name "system11.1.2.4.39.64.36.1" was created...
