Write STRING fields in SMARTFORM

Hi folks.
I'm trying to write a STRING field in a SMARTFORM but only the first 255 characters are writen in output.
It's a resctriction? Is there any workaround?
Helpfull ideas will be rewarded.
Best regards.
Thanks in advance.
Valter Oliveira.

No string fields.
Made a workaround, like several 255 variables in a text element.
Thanks.

Anyone else having issues writting string "memo" fields to Access 2007-2010 or SQL Server Express 2008-2012?

I have a data cluster that I am working to write to either Access 2007 thru 2010 and/or SQL Server Express 2008 thru 2012 all on a Windows 7 64 bit OS. Some of the elements are long strings that I put delimited data for the raw trace data. The fields can be 10's of KB long. With Access I cannot stuff any string >255char into the memo field. With SQL Server Express 2008R2 - 2012 I found that if the strings are >32767 they again fail to fill the memo fields. The Access write or reads work fine otherwise, just not the listed offending fields in the cases mentioned. Anyone else having the issue or a solution?

If the long string field has repetitive data, you might be able to compress it using GZIP to reduce it's size below the 32K limitation you mentioned.

Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T

Setting output length of desired values for a Field in Smartforms.

Hi,
I'm working right now on 4.6c system and I have a field declared as "String" in the Global Definition, on viewing the output in the print preview i find that it is printing only 255 characters while the actual field value is more than that (somewhere around 600+).
Could you please help me out in as to how to declare this particular field in Smartforms.
Thanks in Advance,

Re: Output length restricted to 255 when running ALV report in background
in that case u have to create a new Print Format which can give u complete data in while prining.
format will be like this

I can't understand because the system can load the int field from the "access" object and not the String field !
I can precise that I'm on Solaris.
Please help me it's urgent !
Thank you.
Zigune

I think your problem is:
graphyFID = (*env)->GetFieldID(env, lexItemCls, "graphy", "LJava/lang/String;");
should be
graphyFID = (*env)->GetFieldID(env, lexItemCls, "graphy", "Ljava/lang/String;");
i.e. java/lang/String - java is lower case.

Need help with string field formula

Post Author: dshallah
CA Forum: Formula
What I am trying to accomplish:
The report has item numbers and each item number has the
potential to be associated with up to three u2018binsu2019. So the fields are u2018item
numberu2019, u2018bin1, u2018bin2u2019 and u2018bin3u2019.
I tried to write a u2018if thenu2019 statement that would only show
records that had a value of less than 1 in each u2018binu2019 field. When I try to
write the statement I get a message that says u2018A string is required hereu2019 and
it highlights the number 1 in my statement. I have a feeling itu2019s because the u2018binu2019
fields are string fields and not number fieldsu2026? So I am not sure the proper
procedure to correct this. Thus help is needed and appreciated.
Here is what I wrote:
if {IC_LOC_HIST.BIN_NAME_1} < 1 then
{IC_LOC_HIST.BIN_NAME_1}
What is correct way to write a statement that will show me
the zero values in each column of bin fields?
Thanks!

You must have a non-numeric value in there somewhere - up in the top left of the formula editor window, it'll show you the variables you've passed to the formula, which should help track down what's going on.
You could try and check that the value is a number first by using something like:
if isnull({IC_LOC_HIST.BIN_NAME_1}) = false and isnumeric({IC_LOC_HIST.BIN_NAME_1}) = false and then "Error - Should be a Number!"
else
if isnumeric({IC_LOC_HIST.BIN_NAME_1}) = true and tonumber({IC_LOC_HIST.BIN_NAME_1})<1 then {IC_LOC_HIST.BIN_NAME_1})

Removing number appended at the end from a string field

Hi,
I have a string field which has numbers appended to its end. I need to remove the numbers and display only the string values.
The string is not of fixed length, and the numeric values can be single digit or 2 digits and might be separate by a space but not always.
Here is some sample data:
SHOWCASE NOTT12
SHOWCASE PETE12
SHOWCASE BRIST7
SHOWCASE READI1
CINEDROME PAD1
RITZ BELPER 1
STEPH.JOSEPH S1
I need to display this as below (without any numbers appended at the end)
SHOWCASE NOTT
SHOWCASE PETE
SHOWCASE BRIST
SHOWCASE READI
CINEDROME PAD
RITZ BELPER
STEPH.JOSEPH S
Please let me know how this can be achieved.
Thanks!

Hi there,
Just a quick option is to use the REPLACE function, i.e.
REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE({contr_actv.dept_id},'1' ,''),'2', ''), '3', '');
You just have to build it up a little more so it caters for numbers 0 - 9. At the moment it only works for numbers 1 - 3. Another way you could do this is write some code to loop through the length of the string looking at each individual character to test for a number.
I don't have time today to write something like that but the above should work as long as you don't have numbers in the middle of names etc.
Cheers,
Chris

Cummulative write up field

I am creating a query and i need cummulative write up field i.e to show the cummulative write up .As like we have accumulated ord dep or cumm unplanned dep ..i need cummulative write up field in logical data base table ADA.
Please suggest which table or field.

Hi,
sorry, but that requirement makes no sense to me. Write-up is aggregated with its depreciation type with the next fiscal year carry forward. So it flows into the accumulated depreciation field at fiscal year start as of the next year.
If you want to know the cumulative write-up in a current year, then you can find the fields in structre ANLCV in the logical database. If you need to know the accumulated write-up over the complete asset useful life, then you must read all transactions of the asset, also the ones in the former years, which have been posted with a write-up transaction type, and aggregate this on your own.
But be aware that there may be not all transactions existing any more, for instance when line items are archived already, when a legacy transfer has been done, when the asset has been transferred and the write-up has been posted on the transferring asset which may be inactive ... and so on ...

Add a carriage return in a Unbound String Field

Post Author: Razzle00
CA Forum: Formula
Hi,
How can I add a carriage return to an unbound string field in a crystal report. I am using the bundled version of CR with MS Visual Studio 2003 & 2005. My formula needs to look something like this....
'Heading One:' + CARRIAGE RETURN + trim({tablename.fld_1}) + CARRIAGE RETURN + 'Heading Two:' + CARRIAGE RETURN + trim({tablename.fld_2})
this code all needs to be in 1 unbound string field. Is this possible?
Thanks,

To add a carriage return, add CHRW(13)
For example:
'Heading One:' & chrw(13) & 'sample text';
will result in:

A record selection problem with a string field when UNICODE database

We used report files made by Crystal Reports 9 which access string fields
(char / varchar2 type) of NON-UNICODE database tables.
Now, our new product needs to deal with UNICODE database, therefore,
we created another database schema changing table definition as below.
(The table name and column name are not changed.)
    char type -> nchar type
    varchar2 type -> nvarchar2 type
When we tried to access the above table, and output a report,
the SQL statement created from the report seemed to be wrong.
We confirmed the SQL statement using Oracle trace function.
    SELECT (abbr.) WHERE "XXXVIEW"."YYY"='123'.
We think the above '123' should be N'123' because UNICODE string
is stored in nchar / nvarchar2 type field.
Question:
How can we obtain the correct SQL statement in this case?
Is there any option setting?
FYI:
The environment are as follows.
    Oracle version: 11.2.0
    ODBC version: 11.2.0.1
    National character set: AL16UTF16

With further investigating, we found patterns that worked well.
Worked well patters:
    Oracle version: 11.2.0
    ODBC version: 11.2.0.1
    National character set: AL16UTF16
    Report file made by Crystal Reports 2011
    Crystal Reports XI
Not worked patters:
    Oracle version: 11.2.0 (same above)
    ODBC version: 11.2.0.1 (same above)
    National character set: AL16UTF16 (same above)
    Report file made by Crystal Reports 2011 (same above)
    Crystal Reports 2008 / 2011
We think this phenomenon is degraded behavior of Crystal Reports 2008 / 2011.
But we have to use the not worked patters.
Anything wrong with us? Pls help.

Best Practice to Atomic Read and Write a Field In Database

I am from Java Desktop Application background. May I know what is the best practice in J2EE, to atomic read and write a field in database. Currently, here is what I did
// In Servlet.
synchronized(private_static_final_object)
    int counter = read_counter_from_database();
    counter++;
    write_counter_back_to_database(counter);
}However, I suspect the above method will work all the time.
As my observation is that, if I have several web request at the same time, I am executing code within single instance of servlet, using different thread. The above method shall work, as different thread web request, are all referring to same "private_static_final_object"
However, my guess is "single instance of servlet" is not guarantee. As after some time span, the previous instance of servlet may destroy, with another new instance of servlet being created.
I also came across [http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/datastore/transactions.html|http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/datastore/transactions.html] in JDO. I am not sure whether they are going to solve the problem.
// In Servlet.
Transaction tx = pm.currentTransaction();
tx.begin();
    int counter = read_counter_from_database(); // Line 1
    counter++;                                                  // Line 2
    write_counter_back_to_database(counter);    // Line 3
tx.commit();Is the code guarantee only when Thread A finish execute Line 1 till Line 3 atomically, only Thread B can continue to execute Line 1 till Line 3 atomically?
As I do not wish the following situation happen.
(1) Thread A read counter from Database as 0
(2) Thread A increment counter to 1
(3) Thread B read counter from Database as 0
(4) Thread A write counter as 1 to database
(5) Thread B increment counter to 1
(6) Thread B write counter as 1 to database
What I wish is
(1) Thread A read counter from Database as 0
(2) Thread A increment counter to 1
(4) Thread A write counter as 1 to database
(3) Thread B read counter from Database as 1
(5) Thread B increment counter to 2
(6) Thread B write counter as 2 to database
Thanks you.

This is my understanding of the issue (you should research it further on you own to get a better understanding):
I suggest you use local variables (ie, defined within a function), and keep away from static variables. Those local variables are thread safe. If you call functions within functions, its still thread safe. If you read or write to one record in a database using sql, its thread safe (you dont need a transaction). If you read/write to multiple tables and/or records, you probably need a transaction. Servlets are thread safe. You usually dont need the 'synchronized' word anywhere unless you have a function updating/reading a static variable and therefore want to ensure only one user is accessing the static varible at a time. Also do so if you are writing to some resource (such as a file, a variable in applicaton scope, session scope, or resource that everyone uses such as email server). You dont want more than one person at a time to write to it). Note the database is one of of those resources that is handled by transactions rather than the the synchronized keyword (the synchronized keyword is applied to your application only (not other applications that someone is running), whereas the transaction ensures all applications are locked out while you update those records in the database).
By the way, if you have a static variable, you should have one and only one function (synchronized) that updates it that everyone uses. If you have more than one synchronized function, that updates it, its probably not thread safe.
An example of a static variable you would use is a Datasource object (to obtain your database connections). You only need one connection pool in your application and you access it via the datasource variable.
If you're unsure your code is thread safe, you can create two seperate threads that call the same block of functions repeatedly to ensure it works as expected.

Edirectory ldap, what do I put in the DN String field?

Experts,
I am trying to configure LDAP authentication. I've done this many, many times against Active Directory. In AD it is usually DOMAIN_NAME\%LDAP_USER%.
This has been driving me nuts today. We are running eDirectory. I have my server's IP address and port.
What do I put in the DN String field? I've tried many combinations of TREENAME\%LDAP_USER%, nothing seems to work.
If it is more complicated than that, where do I look in NDS to figure out what I need to put in the DN String field?
Thanks!
Dan

Dan,
I'm actually surprised you had success with that on AD as I never did. I recommend you get a little lower level and use DBMS_LDAP. Here's a little sample code to get you started:
   FUNCTION ldap_authenticate (
      p_username IN VARCHAR2
    , p_password IN VARCHAR2
      RETURN BOOLEAN
   AS
      l_dn      VARCHAR2(256) := p_username || '@domain.com';
      l_bind    PLS_INTEGER;
      l_session DBMS_LDAP.SESSION;
   BEGIN
      IF p_username IS NULL
      THEN
         RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20001,'A username must be supplied');
      END IF;
      IF p_password IS NULL
      THEN
         RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20002,'A password must be supplied');
      END IF;
      dbms_ldap.use_exception := TRUE;
      l_session := dbms_ldap.init(
         hostname => 'server.domain.com'
       , portnum   => 389
      l_bind := dbms_ldap.simple_bind_s(
         ld      => l_session
       , dn      => l_dn
       , passwd => p_password
      l_bind := dbms_ldap.unbind_s(l_session);
      RETURN TRUE;
EXCEPTION
   WHEN OTHERS
   THEN
      RETURN FALSE;

Purpose of using string field

how to use string field and its purpose...

STRING: Character string with variable length This data type can be used only in types (data elements, structures, table types) and domains. In the dictionary a length can be specified for this type (at least 256 characters). It can be used in database tables only with restrictions. For a description of them, refer to the documentation of the ABAP statement 'STRING'. In ABAP, this type is implemented as a reference to a storage area of variable size. The system proposes 132 characters as default for the output length. You cannot attach search helps to components of this type.
SSTRING: Short character string with variable length. In the Dictionary the number of characters can be specified for this type (from 1 to 1333). This data type can be used only in types (data elements, structures, table types) and domains. It can be used in database tables. To do so, refer to the documentation of the ABAP statement 'STRING'. In ABAP, this type is implemented as a reference to a storage area of variable size. String fields of this type can be used in indexes and in the WHERE condition of a SELECT statement. You cannot use them in table keys
