Variables within Tables in Insets

We use insets. We have just upgraded to FrameMaker 11 recently. We share inset files in multiple "container" FrameMaker files. When a variable is within a table in an inset, when the inset is updated in any way, the inset does not respect the variable definitions of its "container" file.
If you sweep new variables into the container file, the inset updates. As soon as you update the file via a book update or update the inset itself in the container file, the inset reverts to its own definitions. The insets are properly set to inherit their formatting/variables/conditions/etc from their container files. If the variables are outside of a table, they inherit the definitions properly. Is this a bug? Has anyone else experienced this and fixed in on their own?

Here are the answers to your questions:
1. When you "edit" the text inset source, exactly what are you changing - the variables or some other content?
Any change to the file. I can open the file, press the space bar, and save. If I update the inset in the container, the inset shows the inset's variable definitions
2. When you say the "inset's settings" win, do you mean that the source variable definitions used in the inset show instead of those in the container file?
Yes. It is using the defintions that are in the inset upon updating the inset.
3. When you "update" the inset, do you mean that you've made some sort of edit to inset source file and then do a Save on that file?
Yes and then I double-click on the inset and click Update to manually update the container to reflect my changes.
4. What precisely do you mean by "sweep the correct variable into every inset" ?
Sorry what I wrote was a bit unclear. What I meant to say was in order to ensure the variables are displayed properly, the only thing I can see to do is to sweep the variable definitions I want into the inset before publishing.
5. How exactly (menu, double-click the inset & update or close & open file) are you doing the inset updates in the container files?
I usuallly double-click on the inset within the container file and click Update.

Global variable (internal table)

Hello Experts,
how can I create a global variable (internal table) so that I can fill in inside WDDOINIT and later within another
method inside the view.
Thx in advance
Best Reagards
ertas ilhan

Hi,
Go to attribute tab and declare Your variable there.
You can access that variable in the following way in another method as well.
to use that variable use following syntax.
wd_this->variable_name
If you will declare the variable in component controller and define as public.
then you can access this in all the views of component.
to access that use following syntax.
wd_comp_controller->variable name.
I hope it helps.

Rohit

How do I use a variable within a sql statement

I am trying to use a local variable within an open SQL step but I keep getting an error.
My sql command looks like this "SELECT BoardDetailID FROM BoardDetails WHERE SerialNumber = " + locals.CurrentSerialNo
If I replace the locals.CurrentSerialNo with an actual value such as below the statement works fine.
"SELECT BoardDetailID FROM BoardDetails WHERE SerialNumber = " + " 'ABC001' "
Can someone tell me how to correctly format the statement to use a variable?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I have changed the required variable to a string, but with no success. I have reattached my updated sequence file and an image of the error.
When looking at the Data operation step I see that the sql statement is missing everything after the last quotation mark.
Thanks again,
Stuart

With session.setAttribute("name",object) you can store a Attribute in the session object.
with session.getAttribute("name") you can get it.

Optional variables within report not shown on portal

Hello,
I have got following phenomenon:
I created a report with the Report Designer. This report contains different queries that all use the same optional variable. Our first tries showed the selection screen for this variable within the portal.
After we changed the technical name and the description and published it into portal again the selection for the optioanl variable isn't shown anymore.
It's no general problem because on queries for example the optional variables are shown.
Has anybody an idea what could be the problem and how we can solve it?
Greetings & thanks
Bettina

Hello,
if I execute the report within the Report Designer there occurs a drop down menu on the variable screen "Available variants:" with on item "Report with variable".
I can save this variant - but it's not possible to choose this special variant for publishing into portal (ok, maybe it works but my first tries didn't work). Do you have an idea how this setting can be used in portal??
Greetings & thanks
Bettina

Using variables in table constaraints

Hi,
I am facing problem in using global variables in table constraints. It is giving error "911 : 42000 : java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00911: invalid character".Since I was not able to use project variable s,I have used global variables.
following is the code
insert into DEV_TGT.E$_TEST_TGT
     ERR_TYPE,
     ERR_MESS,
     CHECK_DATE,
     ORIGIN,
     CONS_NAME,
     CONS_TYPE,
     C1,
     C2
select
     'F',
     sysdate,
     '(161666)TEST_2.TEST_TO_TETS_TGT',
     'CHK',
     'CK',
     C1,
     C2
from     DEV_TGT.I$_TEST_TGT TEST_TGT
where     not      (
          TEST_TGT.C1=#GLOBAL.V_LOAD_ID
          )

Hi,
Did you refreshed or Assigned that variable before using in interface ?
Flow :-
Assgin/Refresh Variable -> interface (with contrsaint using variable)
Also,
If constarint is not an integer please use quotes ( '#GLOBAL.V_LOAD_ID' )

Using variables within GETurl

Having issues with getting a simple script working...
I've created a 'flashvars' tag in my embed code (aid=test), which I simply wish to add to the end a GetUrl statement, contained in within a button (which is on the first level of the flash movie). This is the code I've added to the button...
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.platinumselect.com?id="+aid);
But this doesnt seem to work!? Is there anything else I need to do?
Thanks in advance! (p.s. using actionscript 2.0)

Where are the 3 places?? I've got it in two at the minute.

Subject: Using variables within GETurl
in as2, there is no LoaderInfo class and you don't need to do anything in flash to parse the flashvars.
but, as i mentioned in a duplicate post, you do need to define your flashvars in 3 places in your embedding html file. failure to do that is the most common reason for a problem with flashvars.

How do I manipulate process variables within sql?

Hi,
I am working with Oracle 10gR2.
my main problem is to indicate a problem within the execution of a SQLPLUS.
I saw in this forum that there is a bug and the return code will be ignored.
So it was suggested:
As a workaround you can define processflow variable and bind RESULT_CODE parameter of Sql*plus activity to this variable. Then you can define transition from
sqlplus activity with custom ("complex") condition (like PF_VAR_RC=2 etc.).What exactly shall this mean?
I am now on the way to solve this by manipulating the process variable within SQLPLUS. But how can I access this variable and manipulate it within PLSQL?
Many thanks
cheers Daniel

Hi Daniel,
even with this "bug" it is possible to get result of execution SQL*Plus activity:
- SQL*Plus command exit 0 produce SUCCESS return code in SQL*Plus activity
- SQL*Plus command exit 1 (or with other non zero value) produce FAILURE return code in SQL*Plus activity

Oleg

Using jsp variables within JSP tag

I have a variable defined within a JSP:
<%
String cust_id = request.getParameter("cust_id");
%>
I want to use this variable as a parameter to a custom tag:
<%@ taglib uri="/tlds/DBTags.tld" prefix="db" %>
<db:MultiColumnSelect columns="c.id, c.po" name="ccar_id" table_name="ccar_headers c, ccar_rmas r" selectString="r.ccar_id = c.id AND c.cust_id = <%= cust_id %>"/>
The selectString value that is passed to my tag is:
r.ccar_id = c.id AND c.cust_id = <%= cust_id %>
The <%= cust_id %> is not replaced by the actual variable value.
How would I accomplish using this variable within my JSP tag?

Your definition of the selectString attribute must indicate that it can accept runtime expressions.
<%
String cust_id = request.getParameter("cust_id");
String selectString = new String("r.ccar_id = c.id AND c.cust_id = " + cust_id);
%>
<%@ taglib uri="/tlds/DBTags.tld" prefix="db" %>
<db:MultiColumnSelect columns="c.id, c.po" name="ccar_id" table_name="ccar_headers c, ccar_rmas r"
selectString="<%= selectString %>"/>

A way to find as to a variable from table TAVRV is used in which program?

Hello Experts,
Is there a way to find as to a variable from table TAVRV is used in which of the variants and in what programs. Example: can we find a variable ZZ_AAAA_ACTUEL (from table TVARV) is used in which variants / programs?
I want maintain one variable and i will be sure that not affect others programs.
Regards.

Hi Salhi
open your table in SE11 and click on that variable, then there is a option 'where used list' in your application tool bar
click on that option, it will give you a small pop up window from where you can select in which options you want to search for that variable.
i hope this will work for you
Thanks

HOWTO: Declare a variable within a function.

I'm having a hard time declaring a variable within a function. This is my code:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION schemaName.functionName (inParam VARCHAR2(20))
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS VARCHAR2(10)
BEGIN
DECLARE paramLength NUMBER; --This is not working. The docs do not state what the size of the number returned by LENGTH is.
SELECT LENGTH(inParam) INTO paramLength FROM DUAL;
IF paramLength < 10 THEN
RETURN '';
ELSE
/* Clean up the value */
RETURN inParam
END IF;
END;

In relation to your own code...
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION schemaName.functionName (inParam VARCHAR2(20)) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
paramLength NUMBER;
BEGIN
/* Clean up the value */
paramLength = LENGTH(inParam);
IF paramLength < 10 THEN
RETURN NULL;
ELSE
RETURN inParam
END IF;
END; You don't need to use SQL to determine the length of a string.

Duplicate variable 'altova:table' definition

I have a little class that I wrote to apply a XSLT file to a XML using Oracle XML Parser.
Here is the code:
XSLProcessor processor = new XSLProcessor();
String sInputXSL = "d:/xsl.xsl";
String sInputXML = "d:/xml.xml";
File fXSL = new File(sInputXSL);
URI uri = fXSL.toURI();
URL url = uri.toURL();
XSLStylesheet stylesheet = processor.newXSLStylesheet(url); (*)
When I execute it, I get the following error on the line (*)
XML-22050: (Error) Duplicate variable 'altova:table' definition.
XML-22050: (Error) Duplicate variable 'altova:table' definition.
XML-22050: (Error) Duplicate variable 'altova:table' definition.
oracle.xml.xslt.XSLException: XML-22050: (Error) Duplicate variable 'altova:table' definition.
at oracle.xml.xslt.XSLStylesheet.flushErrors(XSLStylesheet.java:1848)
The XSL file is a XSL file that was generated by Altova Stylevision.
I opened the XSL to watch is content and there is in dead several declarations of altova:table variable:
<xsl:variable name="altova:table">:
The XSLT is valid because when I execute the transformation with java.xml.Transformer class it works.
What can I do to solve the problem?
