WRITE MACRO FOR WORD IN ORACLE FORMS 6I

Dear All
I want to know the coding to write a macro for word document to print , when i open the word document using ole2. I am able to open word, insert the header and footer but i want to print the document also. Since I dont want to write the macro in word file because i have lot of files , so whenever the user run the form i just want to take print . Is there any way.
V.S

V.S.,
I suggest you open a Word document and record a macro that prints a document. Then edit the macro and you will see all of the commands that were issued to print the document. Then try to emulate these commands in your OLE calls from Forms.
I tried searching the internet for a comprehensive list of OLE commands, but never found anything. Through trial and error, I discovered if I open the application and recorded a macro to perform that action I want (in this case - printing a Word document) - I could edit the macro and see the commands used by the application to perform the action. Then base your Form OLE code on the macro. ;-)
Hope this helps,

Possible to write macros for CP5.5?

Has anybody found a way to write macros for CP 5.5?
We would like to be able to, for example, write a macro to delete a specific style and replace it with another.
It would save us a lot of repetitive work if we could do this.
Thanks for any help...

Hi there
Not heard of WinParrot before. Would be nice to see an actual link in mentions like that so one doesn't have to wander away googling.
While I haven't heard any mentions of folks using this with Captivate, many folks in times past have sworn by Macro Express.
http://www.macros.com/
At least, for Windows machines. I'm not sure if they offer a version for Macs. I'm not creative and wealthy. I don't own a Mac.

List Randomizer Macro for Word 2010

Way back with Word '97 one of my students wrote a convenient macro for randomizing lists of words.
Briefly, the list was highlighted and the Macro button (or keystrokes) pushed - and the list was nicely randomized.
I do not have this Macro anymore and need a similar one for Office 2010 32 bit (MS Word only).
Note: I am well aware of online randomizers as well as using Excel to randomize a list. However, I wish to eliminate time/energy wasted steps and randomize word lists within Word 2010 itself.
Any suggestions?

One approach is:
Sub Demo()
Dim Rng As Range, i As Long
Dim StrIn As String, StrOut As String, StrTmp As String
Randomize Timer
Set Rng = Selection.Range
StrIn = Rng.Text
StrIn = Trim(StrIn) & " "
While UBound(Split(StrIn, " ")) > 0
i = UBound(Split(StrIn, " "))
StrTmp = Split(StrIn, " ")(Rnd(i)) & " "
StrOut = StrOut & StrTmp
StrIn = Replace(StrIn, StrTmp, "")
Wend
StrOut = Trim(Trim(StrOut) & " " & StrIn)
Rng.Text = StrOut
Rng.Select
End Sub
The above assumes a list separated by spaces. For lists separated by paragraph breaks or tabs, insert:
StrIn = Replace(StrIn, vbCr, " ")
or:
StrIn = Replace(StrIn, vbTab, " ")
before:
StrIn = Trim(StrIn) & " "
and insert a corresponding:
StrOut = Replace(StrOut, " ", vbCr)
or:
StrIn = Replace(StrOut, " ", vbTab)
before:
Rng.Text = StrOut

Write number in words (using Oracle)

Hello
Can you please advise how to convert a number to word in Oracle?
I am aware of using following but this has limitation of using number till 5373484
select to_char(to_date('2013', 'j'), 'jsp') as "Date in Words" from dual
Thanks in advance,
Tinku

Hi, Tinku,
See this Tom Kyte page. It shows how to insert "billion", "trillion" etc. into the strings that 'Jsp' provides. Basically, you only have to spell the first thousand numbers, that is, up to 3 digits. The next 3 digits just repeat the pattern, with "thousand" appended to the end. The 3 digits after that just repeat the pattern again, with "million" concatenated, the 3 digits after that have "billion" (at least in the USA), and so on.
The same page also shows spelling functions for French and Portuguese.

Book for self study oracle forms

hi all, i want to study how to do the oracle forms and report programming, any book suggestion? thanks.

Forms is also covered in
Oracle 9i Web Development
By Bradley d. Brown
Oracle Press
ISBN: 0-07-219388-3
Forms (and reports) are described on page 773 - 834.
Not much so don't buy this book only for information about Forms.
The problem is that there are no specific books for Forms 9i yet. For example the book Oracle Developer Forms Techniques mentioned earlier describes till version 6i.
Not that it can't be used, but some new techniques specific to 9i are not mentioned.

Connecter for provisioning to Oracle Form based Applications

Hi,
I would like to provision users from OIM to Oracle Form based applications.May I know which connecter I have to use?. DB Application table connecter or DB User Management Connecter?.
Also may I know in which table I need to refer to (If i am using Application Table connecter)?.Thanks.

The database application table connector should work fine. Figure out which table contains the user information for the users and you should be fine.
If Oracle Forms actually uses database users just use the database user connector.
Best regards

I need a code for backup from oracle forms 10.1.2.3g

Please if any body can help me that what code will I use to get a backup of my db from forms, I am using 10.1.2.3 version of forms with 10g db.
Thank you.
Hina

Hello,
Backing up a database is not the work of an Oracle Forms user. It has to be done by a Database administrator. There are several ways to backup a DB, cold or hot, with export/import, by copying the datafiles, ...
None of this methods have any relation with Oracle Forms, so have to be launched as external programs.
If the client has those utilities installed locally, you should use the Webutil Client_Host() built-in to start them.

Best approach for post-update (Oracle Forms equivalent) operations?

Hi
Having scanned all the available literature / blogs / forum posts I can find, I'm not sure of the correct way to proceed here, can anybody advise?
I am planning to build a custom OAF page to update rows in a seeded Apps table.
After any update via my page, I want to insert a message into a custom audit table, to record the event for reporting purposes. In Forms I would have used a POST-UPDATE trigger to do that, but there doesn't seem to be a direct equivalent in OAF.
Here are the approaches I have considered
1. Db trigger, or related approach. I don't want to do this on a seeded table.
2. Create a pl/sql EO on the seeded table, use the pl/sql code to store the audit rows on update (this seems easiest to me ...).
3. Use CallableStatement to create the rows in AM and call from CO (or EO?).
4. Create java EOs for both the seeded table and the audit table, and implement the audit table update by manipulating the audit table EO.
From all I have read, I believe #4 is the correct approach as pl/sql EOs are not recommended (except to leverage existing APIs), but it's not clear to me how to go about coding it, could somebody help me get started please?

Step 1- create a Custom method in AM.
Step 2 - Create a Eo & EOVO for the Audit table.
Step 3- Get all the value from the page ..which u want to save inside the audit table.
Step 4 - Once u get the value..set the same to the EOVO using setAttribute();
Step 5 - Call this method before calling commit.
Thanks Gyan, that's very helpful. I have a table with multiple updates, and I wasn't confident about how to identify the
updated records to process them one by one, so after some more searching/experimentation I end up with this approach :
1. Created an EO + EOVO for the Audit table (not sure VO actually required in this approach).
2. Exposed the doDML method in the Seeded EO by clicking Data Manipulation Methods on the EO's 'Java' page.
3. In the doDML method, I added code like this, which is called on every update : ( RequestsEO is the EO of the table being updated, MessagesEO is the audit table also being inserted into. )
       // Get New Message ID and instantiate a MessagesEO row.
       Number Id=Rtr.getSequenceValue("XX_MESSAGES_SEQ");
       NameValuePairs nvp = new NameValuePairs(new String[]{"LineId"},new Object[]{Id.toString()});
       MessagesEOImpl Msg = (MessagesEOImpl)getOADBTransaction().createEntityInstance("oracle.apps.xx.testaudit.server.MessagesEO",nvp);
       // Set various required fields in MessagesEO.
       Msg.setLineId(Id);
       Msg.setLineType("A");
       Msg.setSourceName("AUDITSREQ");
       Msg.setSourceId("1");
       // Build Audit message from fields in updated record.
       Number RequestId=getRequestId();
       String sRequestId=RequestId.toString();
       String sAttribute5=getAttribute5();
       Msg.setTextline("Updated Request ID [" +sRequestId + "] to [" +sAttribute5 + "].");
       // Update Request
       super.doDML(operation, e);
         I'm pretty happy with the result, but am I doing anything I "shouldn't" here?
In particular, should I try to use VO and/or calling a method in the AM rather than coding direct in the EO?
Thanks again

Call Oracle Help for Java in Oracle forms running in the web

Hi, everyone,
We are developing a web-enabled Oracle database application
system. Oracle suggested us to use Oracle Help for Java(OHJ) to
create an online help system for the web environment. We
successfully created a OHJ program which can be independently.
But we still have no idea how to call this OHJ program from the
forms running in the web environment.
Could anyone help us out?
Thanks.

Cursor for loop in oracle forms 6i

Hi all,
       I have written code in the find button to display deptno=10 employees ,in TOAD it worked fine, but why it is not worked in the form find button? Please suggest? I added below i am getting all records? , I want only related employees records..
BEGIN
    FOR e_cursor IN ( SELECT ename FROM emp where deptno=10 ) LOOP
      dbms_output.put_line( e_cursor.ename );
    END LOOP;
    --EXECUTE_QUERY;
END;
Thank You

Christian Erlinger wrote:
dbms_output will do exactly nothing in forms, as forms won't get the output buffer like toad or sqlplus does. Besides that I am guessing you have a basetableblock basing on your emp table? The easiest way would be to add a where clause programmatically to your block using set_block_property. No cursor needed at all.

Yes i have basetable block basing on emp table.
Could you please give an example on this please?

Macros for Word

Hi,
I need to split the number of bits in Word. For example, 1000000 => 1 000 000, 00. I don't found standart feature. But i found this code:
Dim SelectionStart As Long
Dim SelectionEnd As Long
SelectionStart = Selection.Start
SelectionEnd = Selection.End
Selection.EndKey wdStory, wdMove
With Selection.Find
.Text = "[0-9]{4;}"
.MatchWildcards = True
.Forward = False
While .Execute
If Not .Parent.Previous Is Nothing Then
If .Parent.Previous.Text <> "," Then
.Parent.Text = FormatNumber(CDbl(.Parent.Text), 2, GroupDigits:=vbTrue)
Selection.Collapse wdCollapseStart
End If
Else
.Parent.Text = FormatNumber(CDbl(.Parent.Text), 2, GroupDigits:=vbTrue)
End If
Wend
Selection.SetRange SelectionStart, SelectionEnd
It's not bad. And I also want to add to this code at the bottom: "ActiveDocument.SaveAs" - no problem.
Then, i enter my number, click on the button, which contain this code, number has transformed. SaveDialog has also opend, then click "save" and have "Run-time error: 4198. Command error".Then click "Debug", file closed
and appear on my Desktop.
Can you tell me, what is cuase of this problem, how to hide this Error???
Thank you for reply :)

The following works fine for me:
Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim StrPath As String
StrPath = "C:\Users\" & Environ("Username") & "\Documents\"
With ActiveDocument
With .Range
    With .Find
      .ClearFormatting
      .Replacement.ClearFormatting
      .Text = "<[0-9]{4;}>"
      .Replacement.Text = ""
      .Forward = True
      .Wrap = wdFindStop
      .Format = False
      .MatchWildcards = True
      .Execute
    End With
    Do While .Find.Found
      .Text = Replace(Format(.Text, "#,##0"), ",", " ") & ",00"
      .Collapse wdCollapseEnd
      .Find.Execute
    Loop
End With
.SaveAs FileName:=StrPath & "MyFile.docx", FileFormat:=wdFormatXMLDocument
End With

End Sub
The new file's name is 'MyFile.docx'.

Urgently: Open MS.Word on Oracle Form Server 6i

Hi,
I must open MS.Word on Form Server. How Can I do it?
Someone have a some examples.
Best Regards,
Janyarak M.

Not the most elegant solution, but you can use OLE2 on the application server.
If MS Word is installed on the application server, you can create the Word file on the application server and show it on the client using web.show_document.
The only other way is by using a java bean as already suggested.
We implemented the first method and this is working fine if you want only one document at a time.
We are now implementing the second method using a own written java bean and JACOB.

How can implement running total in oracle forms

I want to implement a running total in oracle form
like
100 100
300 400
200 600
500 1100
200 1300
100 1400
PROCEDURE calculate_srno IS
current_rownum     integer:=:System.Cursor_Record;
starting_srno integer:=:rs_1;
last_rownum integer;
BEGIN
     last_record;
     last_rownum:=:system.cursor_record;
     go_record(1);
     FOR counter IN 1..last_rownum LOOP
          :sum_1:=:rs_1;
          :rs_1:=:sum_1+:rs_1;
     --     :offered_srno_to:=starting_srno;
          if last_rownum=:System.Cursor_Record then exit;
          end if;
     END LOOP;
END;
it is not working after want to insert between in the table

Why write code for this? Oracle Forms 10g has Calculated/Summary fields that will do this for you without the need of writing any PL/SQL.
Simply add a non-table item to the data block with the item you want to keep the running total for. Then change the following properties of the item:
Data Type: Number
Calculation Mode: Summary
Summary Function: Sum
Summarized Block: <Your Data Block>
Summarized Item: <Your Block Item>
Number of Items Displayed: 1 (if your item is in a Multi-Record (Tabular) layout else you don't need to change this property.
You will also need to change the following property of the block: Query All Records: Yes
If changing the Block's "Query All Records" property causes your form to be too slow because of the number of records in your block, then you could keep a running total manually by using a combination of the Post-Query and When-Validate-Item (WVI) triggers. If your block does not allow data entry, then you could do this with just the Post-Query trigger. For example:
BEGIN
/* This code sample assumes you have added a non-table item */
/* to your block called SUMMARY. */
:YOUR_BLOCK.SUMMARY := :YOUR_BLOCK.SUMMARY + NVL(:RS_1,0);
END;If your block allows data entry, then you would add the following to your existing WVI trigger.
BEGIN
/* Perform your data entry validation logic first... */
IF ....
ELSE
    ...Validation is successful...
    :YOUR_BLOCK.SUMMARY := :YOUR_BLOCK.SUMMARY + NVL(:RS_1,0);
END IF;
END;Hope this helps.
