Work flow help - forward a date field by a specified call frequency

Hi There, I have a 'Last Call Date' field and a 'Call Frequency' picklist with values 'Monthly, Quarterly and Yearly'. I would like to forward another field called 'Next Call Date' according to the call frequency chosen.
Is it also possible to automatically create a task to make that 'Next Call' and populate my calendar?
Thanks

Domenic,
It won't do what you want it to do, the task due date will only forward from the date the workflow ran. But i do vaguely remember finding in the help files somewhere a way to add to a date. So you could possibly create a new field called forward call date and have the workflow update this date with last call date + x days.
I found this in the help file under Expression Builder - Today ()
Today's date and time (for example, 01/02/08 11:15:22).
It is possible to perform calculations with date-time fields in
calculated fields. When a number is entered in a date-time
field, days are represented by integers; hours, minutes and
seconds are represented by fractions.
For example, to add one minute to the current date and
time, use the following expression, which is derived from
the fact that one day has 1440 minutes:
Timestamp() + 1/1440
Can't help any more than this as I've not tried to add to a date field, maybe someone else has another idea?
Good luck
cheers
Alex

Help with Updating Data Fields in Merged Document

I'm working in InDesign CS5 v7
I have a multipage report, all using one master page for about 80 seperate records. Each page has their own linked graphs/images.
We now have need to alter the source data, and while these alterations can be seen in 'Preview mode' on the Master Page, they are not carrying through into the pages themselves. No amount of 'Update Data Source' clinking changes this, and the 'Update Content Data Fields' remains greyed out...
I really don't want to have to remerge the whole document, as I will loose all of the linked graphs and images.
Can anyone help?

You've seen the other thread, so I think you already know the answer...

F4 help icon on DATS field

Hello Experts!!!
I have a field "date" on my screen which was created using Screen Painter. Its an I/O field having the format DATS. When I call this screen and press F4 on the date field, the calendar appears as a pop-up. My problem is the F4 icon doesn't appear at the end of this Date field. What needs to be done for the F4 icon to appear?Thanks in advance!!
Cheers!
Smitha

Hi,
Try using F4_DATE function module for this field.It displays a calendar in a popup window and allows user to choose a date, or it can be displayed read only.
Hope this helps.

Help with a date field script

Sorry if this is a repeat. I was interrupted and found that my browser had crashed when I came back so I'm not sure if the question got asked.
I need a script for a date field (mm/dd/yyyy) where the user can only fill in a date that is between 12/31/1899 and the current date (whatever the date when the form is opened). I'm getting better at writing these but I haven't been successful with this one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I have a feeling I already answered this question some time ago... Anyway, you can use this code as the field's custom validation script:
var minDate = util.scand("mm/dd/yyyy", "12/31/1899");
var maxDate = new Date();
event.rc = true;
if (event.value) {
    var d = util.scand("mm/dd/yyyy", event.value);
    if (d<minDate || d>maxDate) {
        app.alert("Error! The entered date must be between " + util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", minDate) + " and " + util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", maxDate));
        event.rc = false;

Calendar in F4 help of additional data field

Hi Experts,
my query is regarding calendar to appear as an f4 help for the additional data field in DIR. is any function module need to be specified at the time of creating characteristics (if yes please guide)?
thanks and regards,
Shikha Gupta.

hi,
Logic is like this.
Here u are defining perticular character to DIR which belongs to your document type.
when u assign this value to DIR which is help full in search DIR in CV04N.
Note: i don't think u need calander in defining Characteristics. u could check format, for Data type only DATE is given insted of calander in CT04.
If u want include Calander in Data type, then u ask abaper[development].
i think this is very tedious job.

Working of SELECT MIN when data field is blank

Hi expert,
I'd like use the SELECT MIN instruction to take the older data (yyyy/mm/dd).
If by accident I have a Data value = blank, the SELECT MIN does will take it?
I should be sure that the SELECT MIN does not take an initial value.
Thanks for your support.
Claudia

Hello Claudia,
As per my understanding, If a date field has an initial value then by default it will have a value '00/00/0000'. In order to avoid the initial values you can put in where clause 'field is not initial'
Hope this helps.

Working with DBMS_XMLSave.insertXML and date fields

Hello,
I'm experiencing problems when loading date fields into the database.
The date '20020717' in XML uploaded in the database using date format 'YYYYMMDD'
becomes '20260920'. Is there something that I'm missing here or is this a bug in XSU?
Versions I'm using
Oracle XML Parser for PLSQL 9.2.0.2.0 Production
Oracle 8.1.7.3 Database
Hopefully the code below makes the question clear.
PL/SQL part in which I insert the content of XMLClob into the table drtest.
insCtx := Dbms_Xmlsave.newContext('drtest');
Dbms_Xmlsave.SETDATEFORMAT(insCtx, 'YYYYMMDD');
ROWS := Dbms_Xmlsave.insertXML(insCtx,XMLClob);
Dbms_Xmlsave.closeContext(insCtx);
Content of XMLCLob in the code
<ROWSET>
<ROW num="1">
<DESALID>0000001829</DESALID>
<DESAPNR>000000000000203997</DESAPNR>
<DEINCO1>CIF</DEINCO1>
<DEDELFL/>
<DESALDT>20020717</DESALDT>
<DECTRMA>BE</DECTRMA>
<DESHIPT>BE</DESHIPT>
<DECTRDP>BE</DECTRDP>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>

When using date format strings in XSU, the format is defined not with the template for the Oracle DATE character strings, but with the Java SimpleDateFormat templates. Could this be the problem?

Using F4-Help for a DATS-Field

I have an input field that is bound to a context attribute of type DATS and some output fields that depend on the value of the input field.
Is there any chance to throw an event when the user changes the value of the input field via F4-help (calendar help) without pressing enter afterwards?
Or is there any possibility to change the values of the output fields in another way?

Hello,
I suggest you to use the [OVS Value Help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/47/9ef8c99b5e3c5ce10000000a421937/frameset.htm].

Work Flow Help

Hi,
I'm working on a project and need to know what a good
approach is.
I have about 50 videos.
There will be a main main and several sub menus.
The sub menu options will take the users to a page that
displays a video to one side and then text on the other.
The text will change during the video, as there will be too
much to fit it all on screen at one time.
I have someone working with me who will be giving me the text
in a swf file.
What is the best way of making this project?
I was thinking that, since each page will have a video and
text in the same dimensions. I would pass on the name of the video
and swf file from the menu button on to a new movie clip?
Sorry, I don't have that great a grasp of action script. I'm
just looking for a way to do it that doesn't mean making a seperate
movie for each bit of video+text.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Not looking to
get work done for me, just a point in the right direction.
Cheers

Hi
I am not great with AS either but there are times that we
just have to
dive into that because it is the only way :)
I would create an xml file with all the video data. Something
like:
<data>
<video id=0>
<title> This is my Video 1</title>
<description> This is the text for each
video</description>
</video>
<video id=1>
<title> This is my Video 1</title>
<description> This is the text for each
video</description>
</video>
</data>
Then read about how to load an xml in Flash. This is a very
common task
so there are lots of resources available an a few ways of
doing i. AS3
uses something called E4x which makes "navigating" through
the xml
easier than before.
So just play with trying to trace the information inside the
xml in the
output window .. once you have the hang of that, you can
start to build
your app.
I would convert all the videos to flv using the included
encoder that
comes with flash. Save all of them where your swf will live.
On layer 1, frame 1 you could have your menu bar movie clip
or you can
use the menu bar component to save you time
On layer 2 all you need is an instance of the flv playback
component and
next to it a text field component that can have a scrollbar
to fit all text.
The AS script would "bind' the data "video id" to each of
your menu
options and once that is clicked, call a function that
updates the
components on layer 2 with the new loaded video and text.
There are many ways of doing this but this is how I would do
it :) I
like using components because most of the code is already
available so
you dont need to re write, you just need to know how to
"talk" to them.
Hope it helps

Hard drive, backup, work flow help

Hi--
I need some help figuring out what to do....You can tell I have a little bit of knowledge but am now dangerous.
I have a Mac Book Pro with approx 111.47 GB full and 815 available. I have 250 external portable filled with my iphoto stuff. I know I need more space. I use my computer for graphic design so my file sizes are often quite high.
I work in my home office mostly.
I also like to work in my family room (wirelessly using ATT-Uverse 2wire) and think I have router to plug in via ethernet to other computers and my printer. It is a pain to drag the portable HD along so I don't always use it.
I need a solution to give me more HD space....
Should I upgrade my internal hard drive? How do I do this? What do I do with my data?
Do I buy another bigger external hard drive? Can I work wirelessly so I don't have to drag this everywhere?
I also have purchased timecapsule when it first came out, but have no idea how I should use it (still in box)
I also travel and work away from home and need access to my files sometimes.
On old my desktop computer I had it setup with 2 external drives (one as extra space and one where my desktop backed up to the other external)--that seemed to work okay--but now all of these are full.
HELP!!!
Additionally, when I'm in my office, I want to hook up to a larger monitor when I'm at my desk. How do I do this?
Many thanks for any help you can give....
deb

It sounds as though you have a drive with a nominal capacity of 120GB (actual capacity as reported by Leopard, about 112GB), and it's 99% full. That's a recipe not just for slowness and inconvenience, but for disaster. At any moment your operating system and/or applications may run completely out of places for the data they need to squirrel away temporarily in the course of normal operations, with the result that apps will quit without warning or the computer will freeze, crash, or kernel panic — losing whatever unsaved files are open, perhaps damaging the hard drive directory, and perhaps as a result of that damage, losing data that was securely saved before.
You need to maintain a bare minimum of 10GB of free space at all times on a drive that size. More is better. You will want to delete at least 10GB of files from it ASAP, preferably before you use it to do any more work you can't afford to lose. OS X is very good about tolerating a less-than-optimal working environment, but you have its tolerance stretched to the breaking point right now. Don't make it snap.
The fact that your drive is only 120GB indicates that you have an older, non-unibody MBP. If that's true, you can't put a 750GB hard drive inside it, but you can still use a 640GB or 500GB drive. The installation is more difficult than installing in one of the unibody machines to which this group of forums is devoted, but you can still do it yourself if you're reasonably handy. Identify your MBP for us by processor speed, display size, and its Model Identifier (from the System Profiler utility app), and we'll be able to provide a link to DIY drive replacement instructions for it. Given the work habits you describe, replacing your undersized internal hard drive would still be the best first step for you to take, even if you have to pay a technician to install the new drive.
