What is command to format variables in script layout?

Hi all,
Can anybody let me know, What is the command we use to format the varialbles in script layouts?
like if i want to delete leading or trailing spaces(condence) from a variable in the layout, there are some command like (c) for condence
But, i dont remember how to use it exactly. Can anybody help me on this?
thanks

Space Compression
The symbol value is viewed as a sequence of u2018wordsu2019, each separated from the next by either one or a string of space characters. The C option has the effect of replacing each string of space characters with a single space and shifting the u2018wordsu2019 to the left as necessary to close up the gaps. Leading spaces are completely removed. The results are the same as those of the ABAP command CONDENSE.
Syntax:
&symbol(C)&
Assuming ' Albert Einstein ' is the symbol value,
&symbol& -> Albert Einstein
&symbol(C)& -> Albert Einstein

Joy.

Applescript "go to" command or pull variables from script?

Is there a "go to line" command in Applescript? I want to be able to create a dialog box to jump back to the previous box if a mistake was made. I don't want to do a repeat because that will cause multipule chained repeats and it won't work. I tried creating seperate scripts and that works fine for jumping around within the program. But the variables get lost when a new script is ran. is there a way to bring variables from other scripts into one script?

This is what I have right now. as you can see there are 3 variables that carry the needed info. U
ltimatley I'd like to have about 8 variables, all with different info.
I can do a repeat for each one until something is entered, but I cant do a back command for each entry.
That's the purpose for the "run 'script'" line in each section. I'd have to do a repeat inside of a repeat and then overlapping repeats.
It won't let me do overlapping repeats. what's the solution?

What do you think of my Bash Script? What about the error checking?

Well what do you think of this Bash script
It works
I gave it some problems (i.e. unpluged the ethernet, messed up the URL's, uninstaled some programs...) to see if would report errors and stop or just keep going... But it did
I just kind of thought up a way to do some error checking with the commands that I know.....
What is a better way to do error checking?
What do you think I should add/Do to this script?

Personally..... (this is just how I would have written it - if it works, then it's good enough for me though )
I would change this whole block:
verify="n"
while [ "$verify" != y ]
do
printf "Do you have mbr installed... yes or no?"
read AN1
echo ""
printf "You answered... $AN1 I have installed mbr. Is this correct... y or n?"
read verify
done
echo ""
if [ "$AN1" == "no" ]
then
echo "Install mbr now. Then run this script agin"
exit
else
echo "contunuing script"
fi
To this much shorter code:
MBR='/usr/bin/install-mbr' # Or where ever you expect it to be
if [ ! -x $MBR ] ; then
echo "mbr doesn't appear to be installed."
echo "If it is installed, check it's location, make sure it's executable and then make sure the MBR variable in this script is correct"
exit 1
fi
I wouldn't have used the checkXX variables for each stage:
mkdir ~/usbbiosfiles
if [ $? != 0 ] ; then
#failed
echo "Could not \make directory usbbiosfiles"
echo "look above \for \info"
echo "Fix the problem and run this scrip agin"
exit 1
else
echo "Made directory usbbiosfiles... OK"
fi
There is an issue with the way you do your verifications - the user can never get out unless they answer 'y' or hit CTRL+C. Something like this gives them options:
verify="n"
while [ "$verify" != "y" && "$verify" != "n" ]; do
echo "You need to answer 'y'es or 'n'o"
read verify
echo $verify | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]" # This converts the answer to lowercase so replies entered in upper case will still work
done
if [ $verify != 'y' ] ; then
exit 1
fi
One last thing I try to do in scripts... Declare all your binaries as variables at the start of the program, then execute the binary program by using the variable. For example:
# Binaries
TAR='/bin/tar'
CP='/bin/cp'
CHMOD='/bin/chmod'
# Execute tar and chmod the created file
$TAR cvzf /tmp/tarfile.tar.gz /etc/*.conf
$CHMOD 400 /etc/*.conf
This way, it's easy to change the path in future without having to hunt through the script if the paths change, and it also ensures you're calling the programs using the full paths to make sure you're not executing some strange variant or alias that someone has setup. If I use `chmod` 30 times in a script, and the path changes in the future or on a different system (`chmod` is a bad example cause it's highly unlikely to change, but you know what I mean), then all you need to do is update the variable at the start of the script, and it all works again without having to script-hunt and change it 30 times.

About variables in scripts

what type of variables used in scripts to out put data

Hi
See the script symbols
A variable in SAPscript is called a symbol. There are the following types.
System symbol (e.g. the number of the current page)
Standard symbol (usable in any document)
Program symbol (value from the print program)
Text symbol (local variable)
The value of a symbol is text for using within SAPscript code and is represented by the symbol-name enclosed by ampersands. On seeing the tell-tale ampersands in SAPscript code, you sometimes need to figure out the symbol type.
goto any PAGEWINDOW's Text elements in Script (SE71)
from the Menu-> INSERT-> Symbols
you find all symbols here
System symbols
System symbols in a SAPscript form are comparable to system fields like SY-UZEIT in an ABAP program, and include these. The graphical editor offers three types of system symbol.
1. General system symbols
See the table TTSXY. PAGE is the most widely used. The list given in our BC460 training manuals is out of date.
2. SAPscript system symbols
See the dictionary structure SAPSCRIPT. SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES is the most widely used.
3. ABAP system symbols
For the ABAP system field SY-UNAME, say, the symbol is SYST-UNAME. [SYST is the dictionary structure for ABAP system fields.]
Sample code:
User: &SYST-UNAME&
Page &PAGE& of &SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES(C3)&
Standard symbols
Standard symbols are maintained centrally (in the table TTDTG via transaction SE75) for use in any document. Menu path:
Tools
Form Printout
Administration
Settings
Some standard symbols are SAP-standard and others are custom. Curiously, table TTDTG is cross-client although SAPscript forms are not.
The value of a standard symbol has to be defined for each language used. This gives a way to make a single SAPscript form multi-lingual.
We can take advantage to an extent of the central maintenance, though there is no guarantee that the available standard symbols will used in every appropriate context.
Standard symbols complicate searching a SAPscript form, since text like Charity registration 211581 may be hiding in a standard symbol.
Text symbols
A text symbol is declared and assigned to within the SAPscript code, and so obviously applies only to the current document. The command DEFINE is used, requiring /: in the tag column, as in the following examples.
/: DEFINE &COMP_NAME& = University of Warwick
/: DEFINE &WS_RATE& = &TAX_SUMM_C&

What hide command will do

what hide command will do

Here is the F1 help.....
<i>HIDE
Basic form
HIDE f.
In an ABAP Objects context, a more severe syntax check is performed that in other ABAP areas. See Constants not allowed in HIDE area.
Effect
Retains the contents of f related to the current output line. When the user selects the line from the list f is automatically filled with the retained value.
The selection can occur in:
AT LINE-SELECTION
AT PFx
AT USER-COMMAND
READ LINE
The contents of the field do not have to have been displayed using WRITE in order for you to retain them.
The HIDE statement does not support deep structures (structures that contain internal tables).
Useful system fields for interactive reporting are listed in the System Fields for Lists documentation.
Note
Lines or components of lines of an internal table that you address using a field symbol (see ASSIGNING addition to the READ and LOOP statements), cannot be retained using HIDE. You can store them using a global variable instead.
Note
Runtime errors:
HIDE_FIELD_TOO_LARGE: The field is too long for HIDE.
HIDE_ON_EMPTY_PAGE: HIDE not possible on an empty page.
HIDE_NO_LOCAL: HIDE not possible for a local field.

What is the minimal Format of an iCal event to attach to an email?

Hello all!
I just finished a large order page for a taxi friend. I would like to send the order with an iCal event attached to an email. He should only click on this new file, to enter this pickup order to his iCal ...
I am struggling with the format. In my CGI script I have the following format, where the $variables are replaced with the convinient strings:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:$ical_data_end
SUMMARY:$ical_summary
DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:$ical_data_start
DTSTAMP:$ical_dtstamp
LOCATION:$ical_location
SEQUENCE:0
DESCRIPTION:$ical_comment

TRIGGER:-PT1H

END:VALARM
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
Does a time string like "20120608T123500" has to finish with a "Z" ? Do I need additional informations, like "UID:", "X-WR-ALARMUID:" ... In any case my iCal event sent by email is not adding to the iCal saying: "iCal can't read this calendar. No events have been added to your iCal calendar."
I would be grateful for any hint
marek

Surprise Surprise!
I realized after heavy testing, that a DTSTAMP: is not needed.
But there is apparently a problem with the DATE-TIME format: Perhaps for other readers, which are in such a desparate situation, as I am since two days now!!! here some explanations:
The reference about iCal format you find in RFC 5546
DTSTART; and DTEND; have a time string like follows:
yyyymmddThhmmss
In the middle the big letter "T". But you have to add the time zone: for me it is the following:
DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20120608T062500
Now the big surprise: this time format with an hour over 12 ooops! I tested now once again like follows
DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20120608T212500
DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20120608T202500
changing the hh (hours) with one hour difference up until here. 10 Minutes again, iCal was freezing with hours over 19. I swear!
Ok to answer my original question: What is the minimal format of an iCal event, which you may attach to an email:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20120608T212500
SUMMARY:Name
DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20120608T202500

What are commands in smartforms

hi gurus
can anyone suggest me
what are commands in scripts..
thank you
regards
kals.

SAPscript Control Commands
The functionality of the SAPscript editor is made available through a set of commands. These commands give you full editing control over your text. They are executed immediately when called.
There is, however, another kind of SAPscript command, namely the control commands. The purpose of these is to allow control of the output formatting. These commands are not interpreted by the SAPscript editor, but are passed through to the SAPscript Composer for processing. The Composer is the program that converts text from the form displayed in the editor to the form used for printing. This includes, for example, line and page formatting, the replacement of symbols with their current values and the formatting of text according to the paragraph and character formats specified.
The SAPscript control commands are described in the following sections.
Syntax of Control Commands

How do I show the output of a command called within a gui script

I'm starting from scratch on a project I've been tasked with. My intention is a quick down-and-dirty way to apply an image within winPE to apply a windows image to the machine I've booted to a usb drive loaded with winPE.
Here's my start. It's rough, but, I have to start somewhere.
[void] [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms")
[void] [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Drawing")
$objForm = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$objForm.Text = "DISM"
$objForm.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(600,400)
$objForm.AutoSizeMode = "GrowAndShrink"
$objForm.StartPosition = "CenterScreen"
$objForm.FormBorderStyle = "Fixed3D"
$objForm.KeyPreview = $True
Function do_DISM{
$dism = "dism /apply-image /imagefile:D:\W7x86.wim /index:1 /applydir:C:\"
Invoke-Expression $dism
$DISMButton = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$DISMButton.BackColor = "ButtonFace"
$DISMButton.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(12,27)
$DISMButton.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(120,25)
$DISMButton.TabIndex = 1
$DISMButton.Text = “Start DISM”
$DISMButton.Add_Click({do_DISM})
$objForm.Controls.Add($DISMButton)
$objForm.Add_Shown({$objForm.Activate()})
[void] $objForm.ShowDialog()
Now, this does work, and it will in fact apply the windows image to c:\ which is what I need it to do. But, I have a few quesitons.
Am I correct to use "Invoke-Expression" in the function do_DISM to start the command? According to technet's articles, yes, but, want to make sure I'm doing this the proper way, since I'm learning that calling Invoke-Expression isn't always
the way to do things.
Also, since this will be used by others in my group, I'm going to need to show some sort of progress report on how far along DISM is getting along, otherwise, 5 minutes into DISM running, some people are going to think nothing's happening, and just power
down the computer no matter what I tell them. I know that running DISM from the command line, it will show a progress bar that is adequate for what I'm needing. Running the script above and clicking the button, it does run, but, all in the background
with no progress indication. Is there a way I can tell either in the function or when the function calls Invoke-Expression to run DISM, to open in a new command window which shows the live progress of the command running?
Again, my disclaimer: VERY new to writing bits of code, and am trying my best here, so, thanks in advance for patience with me.

That's exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
Changed code to:
$dism = "X:\Windows\System32\Cmd.exe /c start CMD /k dism /apply-image /imagefile:D:\W7x86.wim /index:1 /applydir:C:\"
And voila, new window opened with the live output of dism.
new... and have a glazed over look about my eyes to prove it...

Preprocessor command, assigned the variable and then compare the variable to int. How can I get around this?

#define ON 1
#define OFF 0
in seperate code
int variable = ON;
variable is globally define for that module.
in seperate code
if (variable == ON)
the complier errors off on the if (variable==ON)
My guess variable is variable in of type int and ON is a preprocessor command. Therefore it is a mismatch and complier doesn't like it. How can I get around this.
thank

What is the exact message of the compiler?
I think the error is, that the compiler does not find the definition of ON
and OFF. Is it in the same source file?
If not, try to put it into an .h file and include it where you need it.

To make things clear, here are two small examples that show how nasty locals and value properties can be to the naive programmer.
- Open the diagram of the race condition.vi before running it and try to predict what will be the values of the two counters after the third run.
- Use the Compare Locals Properties and Wires.vi to find out how slow locals and value properties can be (times 1000+).
This being demonstrated, I must add that I use globals and value properties quite often, because they are often very convenient

What is the next step after editing or triming a video ? What type of file format to save and what to do after that ?

what is the next step after editing or triming a video?
what type of file format should be save and what to do after that?

In the early days of digital video editing, an export render could take hours! Not many applications are as hard on system resources as video editing, and rendering the final edit is probably the most system intense action of all.
Head on over to the Premiere Pro Hardware forum to see what sort of computer hardware the pros use for NLE (non linear editing), or to the PPBM5 site for a better look.

What is the best format to use on an external hard drive so I can both back up my Macbook Pro and also put movies on it from another hard drive (PC)?

I am looking for a solution to whether if it is best to get two hard drives or one that can do two things that I want.
I am looking for a hard drive format that can both back up my 500GB Macbook Pro but I was also wondering if I could also put movies on it from another hard drive that is PC based. Would partitioning the hard drive work for this? I don't know what are the best formats to use.
If this is too hard it might just be easier having a separate 500GB hard drive for back up of my Mac and another bigger hard drive for the movies etc (the files are probably bigger than 4GB). Any help would be greatly appreciated as I need to make a decision soon!

Microsoft has not released the official exFAT file system specification, and a restrictive license from Microsoft is required in order to make and distribute exFAT implementations. Microsoft also asserts patents on exFAT which make it impossible to re-implement its functionality in a compatible way without violating a large percentage of them.[13] This renders the implementation, distribution, and use of exFAT as a part of free or open-source operating systems or of commercial software, for which the vendors could not obtain a license from Microsoft, not only technically difficult, but legally impossible in countries that recognize United States software patents.
Can't help with that, if one is using a Windows machine then they are subjected to their rules and control.
Limited support outside Windows and Mac OS X operating systems as of 2012, when most consumer electronic devices could only handleFAT12/FAT16/FAT32, rendering exFAT (and flash memory formats using it) impractical as a universal exchange format.
The OP said they plan to store movies on the external drive.
Many movies today are well over 4GB in size, thus exFAT has to be used and formatted on the PC, which the Mac can then read.
Older Windows NT versions up to Windows Vista without Service Pack 1 do not support exFAT.
Irrelevant, Microsoft provides a free download of exFAT for Windows XP, and Vista shouldn't be running on pre SP1 anyway.
Some distributions of Linux have begun to include support for exFAT. It is however, only available as a file system in user space, as it's not supported by the kernel.
Irrelevant, OP is using Windows and OS X, not Linux and if they did Linux can read the files at least and transfer, which is all they care about really.
Windows Vista is unable to use exFAT drives for ReadyBoost. Windows 7 removes this limitation, enabling ReadyBoost caches larger than 4 GiB.[14]
Irrelevant, the OP's is intending to use it as transfer drive between Mac's and Windows for movies.
The standard exFAT implementation only uses a single file allocation table and free space map. FAT file systems instead used alternating tables, as this allowed recovery of the file system if the media was ejected during a write (which occurs frequently in practice with removable media). The optional TexFAT component adds support for additional backup tables and maps, but may not be supported.
Some relevancy, but only exFAT can handle 4GB+ files between Mac's and PC's, so the need outweighs the possible problem.
The OP needs to follow the standard Windows practice of "safely removing hardware" before physically disconnecting the external drive. If a write is occurring, it won't allow disconnecting until the write is finished.
Support for up to 2,796,202 files per subdirectory only.[1][nb 3] Microsoft documents a limit of 65,534 files per sub-directory for their FAT32 implementation, but other operating systems have no special limit for the number of files in a FAT32 directory. FAT32 implementations in other operating systems allow an unlimited number of files up to the number of available clusters (that is, up to 268,304,373 files on volumes without long filenames).[nb 4]
Not a issue, only in extreme cases of a lot of small files. The OP plans to use it for movies which are usually large and take up a lot of space on the drive.
IMMO It looks like you just ran off and copied something to argue your point when all the points are basically irrelevant.
There is only one format that can easily share 4GB sized files between Mac's and PC's without further complications.
It's ALSO possible to install MacDrive on the PC and format the drive on the Mac HFS+, but I didn't recommend that because I know it's a hassle just like third party NTFS writing software is a hassle on Mac's.
If you so anti-Microsoft format, then you must know Paragon has to pay a license fee to Microsoft for using the NTFS format.
At least with exFAT there is no fee to Redmond, at least not yet.

Page format for SAP-Script not working in 4.6C

Hi all,
I have a problem regarding check printing.
I am using SAP version 4.6C
The size of paper for check printing is
width = 231 mm
Height = 304 mm
So for this I have created a new page format with these details in SPAD.
Then I assigned this Page format to spool format and assigned that spool format to SAPWIN driver. I have assigned this page format to the SCRIPT that is used for check printing .
But when I am taking the print out for the check with new page format, the printer dont print till the end of page, it prints till the total amount on check and then stops there. So this creates an alignment problem when taking printout for multiple checks.
Please give some solution for this.
Regards,
Bharat.

I guess you are printing on dot matrix printer. If yes, try to do some physical printer settings for the dot matrix printer by following the printer manual. I guess you have to change the page size.. or set default printer settings... it may help you to solve your problem...
if not goto your device types tab in SPAD and select device types.. select your device from the list (for ex, SAPWIN) click format and goto the format that you have inserted for this device types.. double click on your format, you will see printer Indialization.. try to write code like this
set page length to 8.5 inch (=52 lines at 6 LPI)
\e\0x43\0x44
Note the above hexa decimal value can be obtained by going through the printer manual.
Close the thread once your question is answered.
