What is the idea of having STRING type when you can't write into that field

Hello friends
I am desperately trying to write to a field of a database table with DATA TYPE 'STRING'.
When I try to write it using a program from < SE38> or a function <SE37>, I get following error message, while activating the program.
============================================================
<DATABASE_TABLE> must be a flat structure. You cannot use internal tables,
strings, references, or structures as components.
============================================================
So, I have been going in circle to find out how to write a string into this field.
I can't use the CHAR or any such type with a limited field length, since the requirement from my customer is to use a variable length string.
Has anybody seen this problem before and if you have resolved this issue, I would appreciate if you can please let me know.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Ram

Hi Harish
Thanks for your response.
I can create the table with the data type 'String'. However, the problem is when I try to update the table from a program in SE38 or a Function Module in SE37.
When I try to activate the PROGRAM or FUCNTION, I GET A MESSAGE THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER.
Here is the simple program that I have created that I am not able to activate
==========================================
REPORT ZTEST_STRING1.
tables: ztest.
ztest-zid = 2.
ztest-zstring1 = 'ABC'.
insert ztest.
===========================================
ztest has two fields
zid which is NUMC type
and zstring1 which is STRING type.
When I try to activate I get an error message as follows:
'ztest' must be a flat structure. You cannot use internal tables,
strings, references, or structures as components.

WHAT is the use of a retina display when you can't watch DVD movies? what's the purpose of a super thin retina macbook pro when you need to buy an external optical drive? doesn't it defeat the purpose already?

i don't care if my macbook is a little thicker as long as i don't need to burden myself of an external optical drive just for a simple and common task of watching/listening to discs.

I'm confused, why did you choose to buy the retina model if you don't like it? This is exactly why Apple still manufacture/sell the 'old' style MBP which is thicker and has an optical drive built-in!

It Gives me no reason this message often the first to enter my pass:" When you can not buy Equilibrium - Leonardo da Vinci's Balance Puzzle " and 27other elements. Please try again later". How can I remove this annoyng message? Maybe it's a Virus?

The old rule of thumb was to keep 10-12 GB free. Any lower than that and you will start to have trouble. I was very close to that for a long time and never had any complaints. Now, Lion "encourages" 20% free space (on my newer 250 GB drive) so I try to keep it with more than 50 GB free.
Do you still have the original memory in that machine too? The metal plate you have to remove in the battery compartment also provides access to the RAM. Your machine will take 2 GB of RAM, possibly 3. You definitely want to max that out too.
Regardless, you definitely need a new hard drive. When Apple switched to PC components, they had to take a quality hit. These 2.5" notebook hard drives are not very reliable. I'm surprised your hard drive hasn't died by now. I usually get a new hard drive with every major OS upgrade. A $ 50 investment every couple of years is no big deal.
Unfortunately, you (and I) suffer from being an early adopter in 2006. Those 32-bit machines only accept 2 GB RAM (maybe 3) and are only 32-bit so they can't be upgraded to Lion. Because of this limitation, you won't see as dramatic an improvement as you would with a 2007 machine. If you run more than a couple of applications, your hard drive is always going to have to be doing some VM work. My 2006 machine has even lost its bluetooth. I gave it to my brother. My very similar 2007 Macbook is still running great.
So, you must get a new hard drive because your old one is likely on death's door. If you don't have at least 2 GB - get it. If you can't afford a new machine, you might want to consider an SSD. That might help mitigate your RAM limitations. You can spend from $ 100 to $ 350 and get a dramatic speed improvement.

HT201406 1st. Gen iPad question: the touch keyboard does not appear when attempting to input data into data fields - this happens while using all apps, ex. Notes, Google, Pages, etc..

1st. Gen iPad question: the touch keyboard does not appear when attempting to input data into data fields - this happens while using all apps, ex. Notes, Google, Pages, etc.. The cursor prompt is present. Tapping screen just brings up the option to: "Select Select All Paste." I have rebbooted with no change.

What is the point of having 17 apps if no one is skilled in that many disciplines anyway?

I have been told how having access to 17 apps is a really great deal. The problem is no one is skilled in that many different disciplines. Even if someone took the time to learn all that software they would still not be competent in all those fields. I don’t know any creative types that are really good at graphic design AND video AND illustration AND music AND the web coding etc. What good is access to all those tools if you don’t have all the skill to do all those different line of work?
I keep hearing people say “Isn’t it great to know that you could use all that software if you wanted to?” No! It isn’t! Having access to tools without the necessary skills to competently use them is pointless! I have worked in graphic design for about a decade and have been improving over all that time so the idea that I could just start a new field adequetly is redic! You need to have an entire team of people who work in many fields to do all those things really well. So my question is what is the point of having the software running off one machine with a license for only one user?

@W_J_T (and MikeChambers)
“yeah you gotta be good at something rather than no good at anything, that is true. ;-)
I guess that is why I don’t understand this big push by Adobe to make their users become mediocre in many areas. Can you please elaborate on this point Mike Chambers? Why should I be bad at a lot of things rather then good at a few things? I don’t get it.
“As far as apps vs fields, the first thing many people wanna know is if you know the required software for the given task(s).”
On one hand I understand the need to have software skills on the other hand software skills without artistic talent does little good.
“Why that is I don't know, its rather odd and does not allow people the same ability to only focus on their more specialized sectors like in the past with the Creative "Suites".”
I understand the problem Adobe had with suites; all the products had to be released on the same time schedule which meant some were released way before they should have been. CC gets around that problem but Adobe hasn’t done a good job at telling why anyone needs all the apps.
“Did you just wish to have some dialog, or do you have a specific question or suggestion about things? I am kind of confused at this point sorry. ;-)”
It just seemed odd to me when I kept hearing these Adobe evangelists getting excited about the ability to use so many apps. I came here since I was hoping Adobe could explain why having apps in so many fields that you are not talented in is a good deal. So far I am still waiting for Adobe to answer that question.
“your passion seems to be solely the design aspect of things.”
Yes, it is but perhaps most importantly is the issue of time dedicated to learning a new craft. I have a good amount of design work so looking into a career change at this point doesn’t make sense for me. If I changed my career I would have to turn down design work that I currently have coming in and that would be a little silly.

I am extremely upset. I purchased my iPad in SA and I am traveling in Greece. When I want to make use of the free apps, I get a message that the app is not available in the SA store. What is the point of having an iPad if you cannot use it worldwide?

I am extremely upset. I purchased my iPad in SA and now I am in Greece. I cannot download free apps as I get a message that the apps are not available in the SA store and only in US stores. When I change to the US store the same thing happens. What is the point of having an iPad if I cannot use it worldwide??? I feel that I wasted my money purchasing it as I specifically purchased it to use when I travel. How can I get access to all the available apps and why are they restricted.

You can use your iPad worldwide. However, each AppleID is tied to
a specific country's store. To use the AppStore in any country, you
must be in that country and have a credit/debit card issued by a financial
institution in that country with a verified billing address in that country.
It is the developer's choice which AppStores he makes his app available
from, and some countries prohibit certain apps.
To make a purchase from the US store (including downloading a free app
available in the US store), you must be in the US and have card issued
in the US with verified billing address in the US.
You can use your purchases from the SA store worldwide, but you
cannot make purchases in other than the SA store unless you meet
the aforesaid conditions.

What is the risk for my Active Directory when you make a magic triangle ?

Hi hello
I want know that because, i need installed a lion server in my company, in the production server.
Now i have make a magic triangle in my labo, i don't have noted a problem with my AD.
1 ) What's risk for my AD when i make a magic triangle ?
2 ) The Director Administrator ( diradmin ) of Open direcory need rights in the Active Directory for manage Mac os x client ? if yes what's rights ?
3 ) Can confirm me that ==>>> When i want manage users Macs, i need create a local group in the open directory " MacUsers" , and in this group i add users from the "AD" is that ?? i want to be sure what i do ....
4 ) for the account computer Mac in registred in my AD, what's i can do ?
5 ) For the MCX, i appply the preference in the Users or Computer ?
Thanks you for your help

Hi
Q3 - You create a shared directory (the LDAP node) when you promote the Server to an Open Directory Master Role. Judging by what you're saying you've already done this. The Users and/or Groups you're creating after promotion will be in the shared directory (the LDAP node). You can tell which node Users and/or Groups are in by simply looking at them in the Server App. If they have a small blue globe icon on their right shoulder they will be in the LDAP node. If they don't they will be local users and not in the shared directory (the LDAP node).
To view them in WorkGroup Manager, launch the application and authenticate using the Directory Administrator account. Above the main interface window you should see a small blue globe. The shared directory will be listed by the side of this icon as: Viewing Directory: /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 etc.
Q5 - MCX (Managed Cleint X) is Apple's equivalent to GPOs (Global Policy Objects). If you're familiar with Active Directory you'll know what this means.
Deprecation means "not using anymore". In other words you should not be using WorkGroup Manager to apply mac-style GPOs. You should be using Profile Manager instead. Profile Manager is the 'new' way to apply mac-style GPOs.
Profile Manager is part of Lion Server. It's also known as the MDM Server (Mobile Device Management Server).
It's up to you to decide what is good for your environment and needs. In some situations I'll use both and possibly augment them with Apple Configurator and Apple Remote Desktop. Then again in other sitations I'll use other numerous 3rd-Party tools available.
HTH?

What is the max size of a mp3 file you can add to an RSS feed?

I am working on adding a mp3 file to my website with an RSS
feed. I want to use it for a podcast. I am new to the xml language
and was using a freeware program to generate the script but it will
only let me upload a file around 10MB. My mp3 file is around 45MB.
Is this going to be too big of a file that will need to be broken
down or is there another way to do it? Does dreamweaver have
preformatted templates to make pages needed for podcasts? Thanks
for your time.

I don't understand. Why (or how) would you want to embed a
binary format in an xml file? What problem could this possibly
solve?

What is the sim network unlock pin for when you replace your old sim card?

Hi, so I've just put my new Dan and Phil sim card into my phone but its asking for a sim network unlock pin, what is it?? Thanks

Hi,
It means your phone is network locked to another carrier. To use this sim your phone needs to be on EE, unlocked or sim free.
If you want the code to unlock your phone you will need to contact the carrier which issued the phone but as with EE there maybe come conditions you need to comply with before this will be done and a fee to pay.
Hope this helps.

HT201299 I have a data plan, still I'm not able to rent a film with it, it tells me that I got to do it over a wifi connection, what is the purpose to have data plan it you can't use it?

I already enabled data plan to be used with iTunes, but it still tells me that it can only be used on a wifi connection

All iOS devices have a limit on the size of files they can download over cellular: 50 megs. Anything larger must be done over WiFi. This does not prevent you from using your cellar service for many other things (email, streaming music, downloading smaller files, web browsing) so, it's hardly useless.

What is the cure for "hardware id missing" when I connect my S3 into W7 compuer via USB

In an attempt to use Kies, I have plugged my Galaxy S3 into my Windows 7 computer, but I get an error message: "hardware id missing" and I cannot use Kies. For basic functions, I use MyPhoneExplorer, but Kies is supposed to offer much more support, including firmware updates.

Have you gone into Settings to verify that your ipod is connected to some router? Have you logged in with the security code (if there is one defined for that router)? If it says the internet connection is offline, then the ipod is not properly connecting to the internet. Perhaps the router is the problem - new iDevices require routers have the latest firmware. Older appliances might connect through them, but many users have found that their routers don't work with newer devices.
Try doing this again at some public wifi area as a test.

Using Liquid, what is the best practice for handling pagination when you have more than 500 items?

Right now I can only get the first 500 items of my webapp, and don't know how to show the rest of the items.
IN MY PAGE:
{module_webapps id="16734" filter="all" template="/Layouts/WebApps/Applications/dashboard-list-a.tpl" render="collection"}
IN MY TEMPLATE LAYOUT:
{% for item in items %}

<td class="name"><a href="{{item.url}}">{{item.name}}</a></td>
<td class="status">Application {{item.['application status']}}</td>

{%endfor%}

<a href="{{webApp.pagination.previousPageUrl}}">Previous Page</a>
Current Page: {{webApp.pagination.currentPage}}
<a href="{{webApp.pagination.nextPageUrl}}">Next Page</a>

How do you make the Safari menu bars at the top and bottom of the browser go away in iOS7 when you can't scroll the screen?

The menu bar at the bottom of Safari screens only goes away if you scroll the screen. But for one page content, the screen can't be scrolled which renders useless any links/buttons at the bottom of the page.
Is there a fix for this in iOS7?
In iOS6, users needed only to tap the screen to remove the Safari menu bars. This does not work in iOS6.

In Safari > View choose Exit Full Screen

It's a fairly safe bet the post you're looking for with a converter suggestion was in regards to BADAK. If not you'll probably find the one you seek in some thread that includes a reference to BADAK. Try a forum search with that keyword. Things sometimes move around but don't often vanish completely unless the underlying forum software changes.
