WL6.1 inserts columns in wrong order with random nulls

I'm in the process of migrating a WL5.1 EJB app to WL6.1 and I've come across a
very frustrating and strange error. While executing my app, one of my session
beans calls a (callable statement) stored procedure on SQL Server 7.0, but when
it trys to insert a row in the database it inserts a few of the columns in the
wrong order and one of the columns, oddly, is all of the sudden NULL.
I've checked and double checked all SQL code and SPs on SQL Server and everything
is correct. Plus, the app works perfectly on WL5.1. PLEASE HELP!
Kindest regards,
Paul

I just created a test project with the Portfolio-Color theme. I selected text for the link item instead of the default button. I then created 10 slideshow links, placing them in two columns of 5 each. 1-5 and 6-10. After aligning by eye I was able to navigate down each column in order. However, when I dragged 10 video clips into a similar menu the navigation order went all over the place as you experienced. I've tried using the regular buttons with snap to grid enabled for importing. It appears that that theme wants to import across the top row first and then the bottom next. With only 5 items it puts two on the top and 3 on the bottom.
You may have to go with three menus: the top menu has two folders, slideshows 1-5 and slideshows 6-10. Then place your slideshows in each folder accordingly and let it do the placement, either text wise or button wise.
Either that or find a new theme what will work better with 10 items on a page.

ALV Grid Download to Excel - Columns in wrong order

Any ideas?

I find these problems easier to solve if I rearrange my data into an array. Something like this:
DataArray = ArrayNew(2);
Cols = 5;
Outputs = "output1,output2,etc";
Rows = Round(ListLen(Outputs) / Cols + .5); // 32 outputs would give you 7 rows
for (ii = 1; ii lt cols; ii = ii + 1) {
for (j = 1; j lte Rows; j = j + 1) {
DataArray[ii][j] = ListFirst(Outputs);
Outputs = ListRestOutputs;
} // rows
} // cols
// Last Column
for (ii = 1; ii lte ListLen(Outputs); ii = ii + 1 )
DataArray[cols][ii] = ListGetAt(outputs, ii);
// put spaces in blank rows
for (j = ii; j lte rows; j = j + 1)
DataArray[cols][j] = " ";
Output like this
<cfoutput>
<cfloop from = "1" to = cols index = "ThisRow">
<cfloop from = "1" to = rows index = "ThisCol">

closing tags, formatting etc

Problem with Purchase Order creation with Random numbers .

Hi Experts
Currently i am facing an issue with Bapi BAPI_PO_CREATE1 to create Purchase order with random numbers for example items 1, 3,5.
Please let me know the settings .
Thanks in Advance

Hi Neha,
A reset of the release strategy only takes place if
- the changeability of the release indicator is set to '4' in
   case of a purchase requisition and '4' or '6' in case of
   another purchasing document (purchase order, request for
   quotation, contract, scheduling agreement),
- the document is still subject to the previous release
   strategy,
- the new TOTAL NET ORDER VALUE is higher than the old one.
The total net order value is linked to CEKKO-GNETW for a purchase order,
CEBAN-GSWRT for a purchase requisition item-wise release and CEBAN-GFWRT
for a purchase requisition overall release.
If you have maintained a Tolerance for value changes during release
(V_161S-TLFAE), the release strategy is reset when the value of the
document is higher than the percentage you have specified and if the
document is still subject to the previous release strategy.
Review the SAP note 365604 and 493900 for more
information about Release strategy.
Regards,
Ashwini.

have a problem with my MacBook Pro.5,3 and monitor. Intermittently, the desk top screen becomes broken up into vertical sections, which appear in the wrong order, creating a haphazard picture.
The Apple icon, usually at top left corner, appears in top right corner in a strip including all that left hand. When the computer is restarted, the screen goes back to normal. But I have to move the mouse to the far left of the screen and then up until it reappears on the far right hand side of the screen so that I can hit shut down button.
It seems to happen randomly though always on desk top and sometimes when I move mouse and computer switches on from rest mode. My large flat screen is relatively new.
The video card on this computer, which is approximately two years old, is Nvidia FeForce 9400M.
Any help would be welcome as my usual source of assistance is not available and I am not well versed in workings of the Mac although I have used one for many years.

That sounds like a Hardware problem.
You may be able to confirm that with Apple Hardware Test, or make an appointmenst for a free Genius Bar evaluation.

Different sort order with line chart and stacked column chart

Hi,
I have a problem with sorting within flash charts.
The chart should be ordered by a date column.
If I'm using a line chart everything is fine. The columns in the chart are in the same order as returned by the query.
If I change the chart type to stacked column chart, I get a wrong order.
It is orderd like 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 1, 2, 3, 4.
What's wrong?
Here the query i use:
SELECT NULL AS link,
TO_CHAR (zeitpunkt, 'dd.mm.yyyy'),

I found the solution.
Anychart seems to have a problem with null values!
The corrupted sorting only occured for a specific set of search criteria and a specific day. At this day some values have been null.
I added a "nvl( [...], 0) for every value.
No I get a correct sort order.

XML Parsing attributes with encoded ampersand causes wrong order

Hi all,
I am writing in the forum first (because it could be that i am doing something wrong.... but i think it is a bug. Nonetheless, i thought i'd write my problem up here first.
I am using Java 6, and this has been reproduced on both windows and linux.
java version "1.6.0_03"
Problem:
read XML file into org.w3c.dom.Document.
XML File has some attributes which contain ampersand. These are escaped as (i think) is prescribed by the rule of XML. For example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <lang>
 <text dna="8233" ro="chisturi de plex coroid (>=1.5 mm)" it="Cisti del plesso corioideo(>=1.5mm)" tr="Koroıd pleksus kisti (>=1.5 mm)" pt_br="Cisto do plexo coróide (>=1,5 mm)" de="Choroidplexus Zyste (>=1,5 mm)" el="Κύστει&sigmaf; χοροειδού&sigmaf; πλέγματο&sigmaf; (>= 1.5 mm)" zh_cn="脉络膜囊肿（>= 1.5 mm）" pt="Quisto do plexo coroideu (>=1,5 mm)" bg="Киста на хориоидния плексус (>= 1.5 mm)" fr="Kystes du plexus choroide (>= 1,5 mm)" en="Choroid plexus cysts (>=1.5 mm)" ru="кисты сосудистых сплетений (>=1.5 mm)" es="Quiste del plexo coroideo (>=1.5 mm)" ja="脈絡膜嚢胞（>=1.5mm）" nl="Plexus choroidus cyste (>= 1,5 mm)" />
</lang>As you might understand, we need to have the fixed text '>' for later processing. (not the greater than symbol '>' but the escaped version of it).
Therefore, I escape the ampersand (encode?) and leave the rest of the text as is. And so my > becomes >
All ok?
Symptom:
in fetching attributes, for example by the getAttribute("en") type call, the wrong attribute values are fetched.
Not only that, if i only read to Document instance, and write back to file, the attributes are shown mixed up.
eg:
dna: 8233, ro=chisturi de plex coroid (>=1.5 mm), en=кисты сосудистых сплетений (>=1, de=Choroidplexus Zyste (>=1,5 mm)Here you can see that 'en' is shown holding what looks like greek, ... (what is ru as a country-code anyway?) where it should have obviously had the english text that originally was associated with the attribute 'en'
This seems very strange and unexpected to me. I would have thought that in escaping (encoding) the ampersand, i have fulfilled all requirements of me, and that should be that.
There is also no error that seems to occur.... we simply get the wrong order when fetching attributes.
Am I doing something wrong? Or is this a bug that should be submitted?
Kind Regards, and thanks to all responders/readers.
Sean
p.s. previously I had not been escaping the ampersand. This meant that I lost my ampersand in fetching attributes, AND the attribute order was ALSO WRONG!
In fact, the wrong order was what led me to read about how to correctly encode ampersand at all. I had been hoping that correctly encoding would fix the order problem, but it didn't.

Hi kdgregory ,
Firstly, sorry if there has been a misunderstanding on my part. If i did not reply to the question you raised, I appologise.
In this 'reply' I hope not to risk further misunderstanding, and have simply given the most basic example which will cause the problem I am talking about, as well as short instructions on what XML to remove to make the problem disappear.
Secondly, as this page seems to be displayed in ISO 8859-1, this is the reason the xml I have posted looks garbled. The xml is UTF-8. I have provided a link to the example xml file for the sample below
[example xml file UTF-8|http://sean.freeshell.org/java/less2.xml]
As for your most recent questions:
Is it specified as an entity? To my knowledge (so far as my understanding of what an entity is) , yes, I am including entities in my xml. In my below example, the entities are the code for the greater than symbol. I am under the understanding that this is allowed in XML ??
Is it an actual literal character (0xA0)? No, I am specifying 'greater than' entity (code?) in order to include the actual symbol in the end result. I am encoding it in form 'ampersand', 'g character', 't character', 'colon' in order for it to work, according to information I have read on various web pages. A quick google search will show you where I got such information from, example website: https://studio.tellme.com/general/xmlprimer.html
Here is my sample program. It is longer than the one you kindly provided only because it prints out all attributes of the element it looks for. To use it, only change the name of the file it loads.
I have given the xml code seperately so it can be easily copied and saved to file.
Results you can expect from running this small test example?
1. a mixed up list of attributes where attribute node name no longer matches its assigned attribute values (not for all attributes, but some).
2. removing the attribute bg from the 'text' element will reduce most of these symptoms, but not all. Removing another attribute from the element will most likely make the end result look normal again.
3. No exception is thrown by the presence of non xml characters.
IMPORTANT!!! I have only just (unfortunately) noticed what this page does to my unicode characters... all the the international characters get turned into funny codes when previewed and viewed on this page.
Whereas the only codes I am explicitly including in this XML is the greater than symbol. The rest were international characters.
Perhaps that is the problem?
Perhaps there is an international characters problem?
I am quite sure that these characters are all UTF-8 because when I open up this xml file in firefox, It displays correctly, and in checking the character encoding, firefox reports UTF-8.
In order to provide an un-garbled xml file, I will provide it at this link:
link to xml file: [http://sean.freeshell.org/java/less2.xml]
Again, sorry for any hassle and/or delay with my reply, or poor reply. I did not mean to waste anyones time.
It will be appreciated however if an answer can be found for this problem. Chiefly,
1. Is this a bug?
2. Is the XML correct? (if not, then all those websites i've been reading are giving false information? )
Kindest Regards,
Sean

A simple question about wrong sorting with multiple sort columns in Excel 2010

Hi, everyone! I have encountered a problem that I don't know how to explain.
So I post it here because I don't know if there is another more relevant forum...
I have a data sheet with the students' scores for the course.
All the data were generated with the randbetween function,
and pasted with the values.
To rank the students by their performance,
I did the sort with the column "total score" as the first sort-column
and "final term" as the second.
The weird thing to me is that the order of the data seems problematic.
That is, all the rows are sorted correctly with the first sort-column.
But for the rows with the same values of the first sort-column,
there are some rows whose values of the second sort-column are out of order.
(please look at the data file at
www_dot_kuaipan_dot_cn/file/id_67204268108546068_dot_htm
Please change the "_dot_" to the real literal dot.
Especially the rows with 56.7 as the first sort-column value
and some other values near the tail of the list.)
I tried to manually input and sort the same values of both columns
in a near-by region. The result was correct.
When some friend copied all the data to paste in Notepad,
and reload them in excel. The problem disappears.
Some friend also tried to wrap a round function at the values of the 1st sort-column,
the sorting order became correct!
But they could not explain why either.
How confusing! I even tried to swap the first and secod sort-column;
the output was right.
All the data were generated by randbetween function and pasted with values.
Where could all the special characters, if any, come?
Can anyone give me an explanation? I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Sort is not in proper order
Sounds as if the data includes spaces or hidden characters that are affecting the sort.
That is indicated by the fact that manually entering the data resolves the problem.

Third party sale order wrongly created with Manf plant

Hi All
The Scenario is as follows
I have created a sale order with item category TAS. The system generated a purchase requisition which is expected. But it also created a Planned Order for the same sale order when MRP was run for the material. This resulted in the two Purchase Orders for the same sale order.
Kindly advise.
Thanks.

Hi:
Could it be the Schedule line Category should not be MRP relevant?

How to insert columns in an existing table?

iv read the tutorial in this site http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_alter.asp but it is not for SQL Server 2000 DB.
Im using SQL Server 2000 DB. how do i insert column in an existing table?
i tried to execute the code (String query) below but it doesn't wrk:
For data type char:
String query = "ALTER TABLE [dbo].["+tablename+"] ADD [columnname] [char] (60) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL";
For data type int:
String query = "ALTER TABLE [dbo].["+tablename+"] ADD [columnname] [int] NOT NULL";________________________
is what's wrong with the code?

Best solution would be to look up the exact syntax from the SQL Server 2000 documentation. The tutorial you have there teaches the ANSI Standard SQL. It is surprising that SQL Server 2000 (Microsoft right?) doesn't comply with that (especially since they list it in as one of the ones the tutroial was made to demonstrate).
I would double and triple check your sintax, whatch your error logs to make sure something else isn't preventing you from changing, and making sure you are logged in to the DB as a user who has the ability to alter tables.

using dbms_crypto package
Assumption: TE is a user in oracle 10g
we have a table need encrypt a column, this column SYSDBA can not look at, it's credit card number.
tha table is
SQL> desc TE.temp_sales
Name Null? Type
CUST_CREDIT_ID NOT NULL NUMBER
CARD_TYPE VARCHAR2(10)
CARD_NUMBER NUMBER
EXPIRY_DATE DATE
CUST_ID NUMBER
1. grant execute on dbms_crypto to te;
2. Create a table with a encrypted columns
SQL> CREATE TABLE te.customer_credit_info(
2 cust_credit_id number
3      CONSTRAINT pk_te_cust_cred PRIMARY KEY
4      USING INDEX TABLESPACE indx
5      enable validate,

7      constraint te_cust_cred_type_chk check ( upper(card_type) in ('DINERS','AMEX','VISA','MC') ),
8 card_number blob,
9 expiry_date date,
10 cust_id number
11      constraint fk_te_cust_credit_to_cust references te.customer(cust_id) deferrable
12 )
13 storage (initial 50k next 50k pctincrease 0 minextents 1 maxextents 50)
14 tablespace userdata_Lm;
Table created.
SQL> CREATE SEQUENCE te.customers_cred_info_id
2 START WITH 1
3 INCREMENT BY 1
4 NOCACHE
5 NOCYCLE;
Sequence created.
Note: Credit card number is blob data type. It will be encrypted.
3. Loading data encrypt the credit card number
truncate table TE.customer_credit_info;

Spanning Columns, Messes TOC Order

Hello
I have earlier posted a thread with my problem. See: Re: TOC Problem, Wrong Order, Connected/Unconnected Text Frame
Now when the problem is tracked down (spanning of columns) I choose to create a new thread hoping that someone has encountered the same problem and has a possible solution. (Using CS 6)
The problem:
I have chapters (H1) with sub-chapters (H2). The text is flowing freely between the chapter text-frames, until a new chapter (H1) starts. The chapter title (H1) spans over all columns, defined in its paragraph style.
When creating a TOC I have found that if a sub-chapter (H2) is above a new chapter (H1) the spanning column function messes up the TOC order. See chapter 1:4 in my example.
The problem may be bypassed by doing one of the following things:
Disable the column span of H1. E.i the chapter heading in a single column messes up the original layout.
Connect all text frames. E.i, flow text thru all text-frames, may become a problem when rearing the chapter order.
Remove the text-frame connection of the text-frames….
None of these solutions are sufficient. I have never during my 13 years with Indesign encountered such showstopper/bug.

Thanks for your replay.
The numbers is written text to make it easier to comprehend the example. These are not auto-generated.
In the other thread I had got some response:
"When the textframe flows from an even page number to an uneven page number the problem (like from page 2 to page 3) the TOC is incorrect.
But when the textframe flows from an uneven page number to an even page number (like from page 3 to page 4) the TOC is correct."
Which does not make any sense at all.
