Assignment of global variables

I apologize if this is a fundamental and simple question, but I was pulling my hair out for the last week trying to get this working and Google becomes sick and tired of my questions to get answers.  This should not be so difficult, but I'm not a designer, not a programmer, I'm just a tech trying to make my life easier, then Yes, I brought it on me.

I have converted an InDesign form that has a bunch of boxes in a document of LiveCycle.  I want the boxes when they are verified to assign a value to the variable assocated.  In the properties of the form, I've set up global variables and assign the value to '0 '.

The box I put the method/property to change to have the following code:

If (topmostSubform.Page1.Back_Cover.rawValue == 1)

BC.value = 6300;

on the other

BC.value = 0;

I have a textbox that I am taking all these values and based on what is checked and this is not it must calculate the total for this field.  Here is the code I have for the calculation of the value of text using the method/property to calculate:

premium.rawValue = BC.value + IFC.value + IBC.value;  There are three check boxes associated with this value

However, no matter what I do not values seem to are they assigned to the variable of BC.

Can someone tell me please in common sense as to why it doesn't work?

Thank you very much.

Tom

Hello

I think Steve is right, you want to avoid using global (or form) variables in this case, particularly in the case of calculating as any change that value will not cause a recalculation.  I have also try and keep all the logic of calculation in one place.  So, in the case of calculating the premium field, I would put the following JavaScript code;

this.rawValue = (Back_Cover.rawValue = 'On')? 6300: 0;

this.rawValue += (Inside_Front_Cover.rawValue = 'On')? 5775: 0;

this.rawValue += (Inside_Back_Cover.rawValue = 'On')? 5350: 0;

Note that the power of your checkboxes values are the strings 'On' and 'Off '.

PS nice shape looking

  • Global variables in Flash CS4 (AS3)?

    Hello

  • Functional Global Variables: an indicator can be used instead of a shift register?

    It is a simple question, but I can't find an answer to it. The model agreed to a functional Global Variable is to use an uninitialized as in this example shift register:

    ('Référence IN' and ' Reference to "is actually a pile of references.) There is also a "Se Refnum" case, which comes the straight through the tunnels shift register.

    My question is, why can't we do store the indicator data? It is much simpler to use a shift register (IMHO a non obvious way to store global data!):

    The case "Se Refnum" does absolutely nothing. Other functions such as erasure of data can be implemented just as easily. The advantage of the FGV to help avoid race conditions is maintained because you always use the VI to access the data.

    JonP says:


    Not so much, the Inidicator can happily live outside the case structure, together and Clear would be just assign different values.

    If you have only a case structure, the indicator could not live outside of it.  In order to maintain the indicator data, your design requires that it is not written in for a case of Get.  If you have an exterior structure deal that decides on 'Get' or 'set or clear' and (in the case of "Set or clear") contains the terminal of the indicator and a classiquee case that decides on 'Set' or 'clear '.  However, I would consider this a design below using the standard template of the FGV.

    The difficulty with retrieving the value if you want to do a read operation / writing change. But LV provides many ways to retrieve data from an indicator (one you don't mention is the 'Value' property), do you mean that's all "incorrect"?

    Yes (I mean that they are all incorrect).

    You could hack your way around the design to work with a single structure of matter and the terminal of the indicator being outside using a method to read the value of the indicator and through a tunnel to the structure of the case through wiring for the tunnel of writing indicator in the case of 'Get '.  However, who will require a local Variable or value of property node.  As I said, these (I only mentioned the local Variable originally) are not good choices for performance and scalability.  If you are not aware of the functional differences between the terminals, local Variables and nodes of property value, refer to this article (obviously advantages/disadvantages such as redraw objects on the front panel are not relevant here).

    I guess you could say that indicators should only be written, but it is difficult to be pure!

    No, it's not, just use the classic design of the FGV!

  • How to associate existing global variables

    It's probably something stupid that I'm missing.

    I created a global variable and there is a string.  I put it in a file called XML_Global.vi I then proceeded to make an another global var and would assign to the same variable.  However, the IDE shows me an another façade Globals 4.  How can I associate the existing façade of XML_Global.vi with the global variable I PLOPPED down there?  I looked everywhere on how to proceed in the properties and others, but couldn't find it.

    Have you read through this document?

    http://zone.NI.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361F-01/lvhowto/creating_global_variables/

    There may be some confusion about what is happening... When I add a global variable for the rough process, I followed the block diagram is:

    • Open the front panel to the global variable
    • Add FP (there may be several elements in a global variable VI)
    • Save the global variable VI
    • Then drag + drop of my project on a diagram VI
    • Select the variable I want by double clicking on the overall and will select an element > name Variable

    If this clears it for you? Looks like you try to simply place another instance of global variable in the palette of functions and then select the variable to assign this instance to (similar to what you would do with a local variable)? With globals, a new instance of a global VI is created when you drop the global BD... you want to place the world you have edited/saved (drag + drop of project or use the "Select" VI in the range of functions).

    I hope this helps...

  • global variable of void vs variable

    Hi guru; s,

    I'm not able to find a lot about global variables.

    What is the difference between the variable substitution and global variable?  Why do we have local variable in planning?

    Thanks, RN.

    Essbase uses variables to override global and local variables (application).  The choice is yours.  Global substitution variables can be used by applications and are easy to change because there are once - a single variable that is accessible to all.  Local variables are not accessible to all and generally apply only to a specific application.

    A good example of a global variable would be curmonth.  In this case, a current month would apply to all applications.  An example of a local variable can be

    a value is assigned specifically to a single application, for example the amount of stores for one of the special database NYStores or London.

    I think that BR used limited global and local scope variables.

  • APEX 4.2 translate data 'function and Global Variable declaration '.

    Hello everyone,

    I use APEX 4.2.1.00.08 and I wonder if there is a way to translate "Function and Global Variable declaration" textarea. Any other script text box is available for translation, but not this one.
    I know what the code is loaded on the header, but may contain important alert messages of global functions.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Grandmaster,

    "Function and global variables declaration" contains the JavaScript code, that is why it is not wise to include in the standard translation process.

    In my opinion, you have several options to access your translated messages:

    -) Use Application-> Substitutions or
    -) Store your message in the form of component shared-> SMS and and assign it to an application with the APEX_LANG element. Api MESSAGE (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35127/apex_lang.htm#CHDBCEAB)

    In 'Function and Global Variable declaration' use substitution syntax to replace the value. For example:

    var myDeleteMessage = "&G_MY_DELETE_MESSAGE.";
    ...
    alert(myDeleteMessage);
    

    where G_MY_DELETE_MESSAGE would be a part of the application or the request for Substitution.

  • Global Variable length problem

    Hi all

    I'm moving a group of a pll key values.
    I'm holding all the key values in a text field that can contain up to 10000 bytes and I'm assigning the text field values to a global variable.
    This value of the global variable is read by pll and fetch the records using these key values.

    But I'm getting ORA-06502 error. This is a question about the length of the variable.
    Form builders help I got to know that this global variable can hold only up to 5000 bytes.

    Suppose that
    New_id is a text field that has more than 7000 bytes values separated by comma

    New_id is that a text field of type char length is 10000,

    +: global .new_cust_id: = Block.new_id +;

    On this line, I get ORA-06502 error, because this value is used by other packages.

    Can someone help how do I fix this

    Use forms [32 bit] Version 11.1.1.4.0 (Production) and Oracle database 11 g R2

    Thank you
    malandain

    Citing the Globals online documentation:

    A global variable is a variable of Oracle Forms whose value is available for the triggers and the subprogrammes in any module that is active in the current session. In previous versions of Oracle Forms, a global variable stores a string of length, for all uses up to 255 bytes. In Oracle 10g form, global variables are now limited to 4000 bytes when they are set or referenced using PL/SQL bind variable notation. for other uses, no limit is imposed.

    This means: If you access the global variable like this:

    :global.variable := value;
    

    You can store up to 4000 bytes in length. If you use the copy and name_in built ins you should be able to store up to 32767 bytes in a global variable.

  • Loading a file into a global variable problem - really a global var text?

    Of all the documentation and the examples that I can find, it seems that it would be

    fix to create a global table [outside any function] variable to load image names

    then use these images to a slide show. I want to do the dynamic application, modify the text file as a new series of images.

    The global variable passes zero [any value] after the load event listener. Why is this?

    Is not global and world alive for the duration of the SWF?

    PARAMS. TXT:

    monthNames = January, February, March, April, may, June, July, August, September, October, November, December of & dayNames = Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday

    CODE:

    var dNames:Array = new Array();
    var mNames:Array = new Array();
    var request: URLRequest = new URLRequest("images/params.txt");
    variable var: URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    variables.dataFormat = pouvez;
    variables.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
    Try
    {
    variables. Load (request);
    }
    catch (error: error)
    {
    trace ("unable to load URL:" + error);
    }
    trace ("2 mNames 2:" + mNames [2]);
    trace ("2 dNames 3:" + dNames [3]);
    Stop();

    function completeHandler(event:Event):void

    1 mNames 2: March
    1 dNames 3: Wednesday

    How to access these values after the loading of the external file, after charging?

    Thanks in advance.

    The statement you quoted all Adobe documentation is correct.

    If you want to load the data into the tables before anything else happens, then have everything that happens to run via the function completeHandler... when the data is loaded and processed in the tables.

    the command: loadFile() runs before the trace ("2:" + images [4]); command.  The loadFile function is processed and loading process BEGINS... but begins loading does not delay the main treatment to continue down the line - the loading itself becomes a secondary/background task.  The order was to run the function loadFile and the processing of this function has been completed.  If you don't believe, then add a trace...

    function loadFile (): void

    {

    vars.dataFormat = pouvez;

    vars.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, onComplete, false, 0, true);

    Vars.Load (new URLRequest("images/fnames.txt"));

    trace ("implementation");

    }

    If you add this trace, you will see the execution of function loadFile is completed and the following line in your code is then treatment... trace (2...)

    The addEventlistener method does not stop anything.  The addEventListener method code is assigned a monitor, not a traffic controller... it's say the monitor to indicate when the loading data are complete.  It does not do anything to stop the execution of the program.

    So if you want to wait until the data is loaded before anything else... it goes...

    function onComplete(evt:Event):void

    {

    var urlVars:URLVariables = evt.target.data;

    images = vars.data.images.split(",");

    tnails = vars.data.thumbnails.split(",");

  • Creating global variables

    Hello

    I'm looking for the best way to create global variables so that the script can run on all versions of adobe reader. I tried to gobal.varibaleName to the initialize event of the form, but this works only in earlier versions of the designer. I tried to use script variables, but there always Initializes the variable to the string value. I wrote some functions on the script object, and each time everything works fails, one count of global variable gets incremented. The event of the form potsave if the value of count is greater than 0, a simple warning message is displayed. Now how declare and initialize and increment this variable count so that the script can run on all versions of adobe reader?

    You must change your code little...

    First of all,

    All Global Variables are of Type string. If you use a sign "+" to add a number it will treat the value as a string and add at the end.

    So if you want to do digital calculations on global variables, first you need to convert to the type of law.

    In the code below I am analysis the value of an Integer type first before I increment.

    Second,

    You have created a name variable 'count', which could be a reserved name. Try to avoid names reserved for variables. So I created a variable "intCount."

    Third,

    According to increment the value if you want to assign the value to a global variable you need to string conversion. (reverse as you earlier in step 1 by conversion string integer)

    var a = parseInt (intCount.value) + 1; Step 1

    intCount.value = a.toString ();   Step 2
    var b is parseInt (intCount.value) + 1;.  Step 3
    intCount.value = b.toString ();  Step 4

    Thank you

    you have an idea?

    If this previous error is resolved means that now form works well. Now, if there is then no value. So I think that the domain that you assign is not having any value for the test, you can use like this...

    Hi all
    I need to know to check if the global variable exists or not?

    example:

    If: global.test exists, then
    do something;

    one way is to use Default_value integrated to the global variable to assign them values... If global is already oracle will not set a value, but if not output oracle will create a global variable for you

    Default_value integrated Description copies a value in a specified variable if the current value of the variable is NULL.
    If the current value of the variable is not NULL, DEFAULT_VALUE don't > nothing. Therefore, for text elements this integrated works identically to the use
    integrated in the COPY on a NULL element. If the variable is a global variable undefined, Oracle Forms creates the variable.

    Published by: SarahSarahSarah on September 7, 2009 06:41

    Hi Sarah!

    The before insert trigger is triggered just at the moment where you call the commit_form build-in.
    So: ins2.code and: ins2.name are always set to null when you attempt to assign values to the globals.

    Place the code inside the direct trigger of prior insertion after the sequence - select.

    if
      :ins2.name is not null
    then
      :global.name := :ins2.name;
      :global.code := :ins2.code;
    end if;
    end;
    

    and the relaxation of the validation key:

    if
      :ins2.name is not null
    then
     commit_form;
    end if;
    end;
    

    or assign the values to the globals after the call to the commit_form build-in:

    if
      :ins2.name is not null
    then
      commit_form;
      :global.name := :ins2.name;
      :global.code := :ins2.code;
    end if;
    end;
