How can I display information within a memo field using a editor form component.
I know that using an image you go with:
form.image.dataSource = 'binary image_name'
but with editor I do not know how to access the memo field and display its data.
Any sugestions,methods?
Typically with dBase or xbase, you reference columns in a table like so:
MyTable->MyField
or
MyTable.MyField
So in your example try:
form.image.dataSource = MyTable->MyMemofield
or
form.image.dataSource = MyTable.MyMemofield

I am a new front end developer. I am trying to create buttons on front end which can export material-ui table data with pagination into csv, excel and pdf. Is there any library which I can use to do this?
I have good experience using ExcelJS library which not only supports CSV output, but also Excel and other formats. The API is incredibly easy to use, and it also saves you from figuring out how to escape the characters. ExcelJS should work well if you look into file generation in browser or server-side.
Assuming that you know the source of your table data (an array of objects) there are some libraries that you can use to convert from that array into a pdf, xls. For CSV you could make something like
const rows = [
["name1", "city1", "some other info"],
["name2", "city2", "more info"]
];
let csvContent = "data:text/csv;charset=utf-8,";
rows.forEach(function(rowArray) {
let row = rowArray.join(",");
csvContent += row + "\r\n";
});
Then you only have to "open" your generated file into a new window like
const encodedUri = encodeURI(csvContent);
window.open(encodedUri);
I have to create an email and attach an XLSX file. I looked at the BCS_EXAMPLE_7 program.
I have transformed the content with the following method:
TRY.
cl_bcs_convert=>string_to_solix(
EXPORTING
iv_string = lv_content
iv_codepage = '4103'
iv_add_bom = 'X'
IMPORTING
et_solix = pt_binary_content
ev_size = pv_size ).
CATCH cx_bcs.
ls_return-type = text-023.
ls_return-message = text-024.
APPEND ls_return TO pt_return.
ENDTRY.
CONCATENATE lv_save_file_name '_' sy-datum '.xlsx' INTO lv_save_file_name.
lv_attachment_subject = lv_save_file_name.
CONCATENATE '&SO_FILENAME=' lv_attachment_subject INTO ls_attachment_header.
APPEND ls_attachment_header TO lt_attachment_header.
lo_document->add_attachment( i_attachment_type = 'XLS'
i_attachment_subject = lv_attachment_subject
i_attachment_size = pv_size
i_att_content_hex = pt_binary_content
i_attachment_header = lt_attachment_header ).
The email is sent correctly but when I open the attachment I see the error
Cannot open the file because the file extension is incorrect
Could you help me? thanks
That's a normal behavior of Excel, unrelated to ABAP, when the file name has extension .xlsx but doesn't contain data in format corresponding to XLSX. Excel does the same kind of checks for other extensions. If you need more information about these checks, please search the Web.
As I see that your program creates the attachment based on text converted into UTF-16LE code page (SAP code page 4103), I guess that you created the Excel data in format CSV, tab-separated values or even the old Excel XMLSS/XML 2003 format.
In that case, the extension .xlsx is not valid, to avoid the message, use the adequate extension, respectively .csv, .txt or .xml.
If you really need the extension .xlsx for some reason, then you must create the data in XLSX format. You may use the free API abap2xlsx. If you need further assistance about how to use abap2xlsx, please ask a new question (unrelated to email).
NB: maybe you were told to use the extension .xlsx although there is no real need to use it (each format has its own features, but simple unformatted values can be achieved with all formats), in that case you may propose to use a simple format like CSV or tab-separated values.
NB: you may also have the opposite case that Excel sniffs that the file contains data in format corresponding to XLSX, but the file name doesn't have the extension .xlsx, and the same for all other formats, but I can't say what is the exact Excel reaction to each case.
It appears that whatever you have in lv_content isn't actually a valid excel file. You can not just take arbitrary data, give it the extension .xlsx and expect MS Excel to know what to do with it.
Unfortunately, creating valid MS Office files is anything but trivial. It's a format which is theoretically open and based on XML (actually a zip archive containing multiple XML files), but in practice the specification is over a 5000(!) pages long.
Fortunately, there is a library for that. abap2xlsx is an open source (Apache License) library which provides an easy API to create (and read) valid XLSX files in ABAP.
You could also try to open the file with a text editor (eg. NotePad++), maybe this gives a hint of the actual content.
But I guess that something went wrong generating the binary table. Maybe you are using the wrong file size or code page.
Possible problems:
First problem: as correctly said by Sandra you may have invalid content of your lv_content variable, which doesn't correspond to correct XLSX structure.
Second problem: which you already solved, as seen from your coding, BCS classes do not support 4-character extensions.
Here is the sample how to build and send correct XLSX file via mail:

I want to display data from Parse in a list from GamesScores class using Container in Codename One, this is what I've tried so far and it's not showing anything nor giving any errors:
Container container = findListCont();
container.setLayout(BoxLayout.y());
container.setScrollableY(true);
ParseQuery<ParseObject> query = ParseQuery.getQuery("GameScore");
List<ParseObject> results = (List<ParseObject>) query.find();
System.out.println("Size: " + results.size());
container.addComponent(results, f);
Please help me out, I'm a new in Codename One. If there tutorials on it, please share or anything to help me achieve the desired results.
I'm actually shocked this isn't failing. You are using the add constraint to place the object result as a constraint and you add the form object into the container...
You need to loop over the results and convert them to components to add into the layout. It also seems that you are using the old GUI builder which I would recommend against.
Generally something like this rough pseudo code should work assuming you are using a box Y layout:
for(ParseObject o : results) {
MultiButton mb = new MultiButton(o.getDisplayValue());
f.add(mb);
}
f.revalidate();
Currently trying to add a map of users, by IP, from an SQL-Server data source. The IP's either map to a wrong location, or don't map at all using Power BI's inbuilt lookup for them.
Is there a way to query location via the IP column? Or any known API to do this for me?
Try with this: freegeoip.net
http://freegeoip.net/xml/8.8.8.8
It returns:
<Response>
<IP>8.8.8.8</IP>
<CountryCode>US</CountryCode>
<CountryName>United States</CountryName>
<RegionCode>CA</RegionCode>
<RegionName>California</RegionName>
<City>Mountain View</City>
<ZipCode>94035</ZipCode>
<TimeZone>America/Los_Angeles</TimeZone>
<Latitude>37.386</Latitude>
<Longitude>-122.0838</Longitude>
<MetroCode>807</MetroCode>
</Response>
Or using JSON:
http://freegeoip.net/json/8.8.8.8
{"ip":"8.8.8.8","country_code":"US","country_name":"United States","region_code":"CA","region_name":"California","city":"Mountain View","zip_code":"94035","time_zone":"America/Los_Angeles","latitude":37.386,"longitude":-122.0838,"metro_code":807}
I faced a similar problem, and here's what I did.
I created a New table with distinct IP addresses from the source data table.
Created a custom function which Queries the IP address and get the details for it (see at the bottom).
Clicked Add Column in the Ribbon and clicked on Invoke Custom Function
Once the query was completed, Clicked on the New Column and Expanded the table by clicking Icon on Top Right of the column.
--
The Function Code that worked for me is
= let
Source = (#"IP Address" as text) => let
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("http://freegeoip.net/json/" & #"IP Address")),
#"Converted to Table" = Record.ToTable(Source),
#"Transposed Table" = Table.Transpose(#"Converted to Table"),
#"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Transposed Table")
in
#"Promoted Headers"
in
Source

I'm working on a data migration task, where I have to export a somewhat large Lotus Notes application into a blogging platform. My first task was to export the articles from Lotus Notes into CSV files.
I created a Agent in LotusScript to export the data into CSV files. I use a modified version of this IBM DeveloperWorks forum post. And it basically does the job. But the contents of the Rich Text field is stripped of any formatting. And this is not what I want, I want the Rich Text field rendered as HTML.
The documentation for the GetItemValue method explicitly states that the text is rendered into plain text. So I began to research for something that would retrieve the HTML. I found the NotesMIMEEntity class and some sample code in the IBM article How To Access HTML in a Rich Text Field Using LotusScript.
But for the technique described in the above article to work, the Rich Text field need to have the property "Store Contents as HTML and MIME". And this is not the case with my Lotus Notes database. I tried to set the property on the fields in question, but it didn't do the trick.
Is it possible to use the NotesMIMEEntity and set the "Store Contents as HTML and MIME" property after the content has been added, to export the field rendered as HTML?
Or what are my options for exporting the Notes database Rich Text fields as HTML?
Bonus information: I'm using IBM Lotus Domino Designer version 8.5
There is this fairly unknown command that does exactly what you want: retrieve the URL using the command OpenField.
Example that converts only the Body-field:
http://SERVER/your%5Fdatabase%5Fpath.nsf/NEW%5FVIEW/docid/Body?OpenField
Here is how I did it, using the OpenField command, see D.Bugger's post above
Function GetHtmlFromField(doc As NotesDocument, fieldname As String) As String
Dim obj
Set obj = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
obj.open "GET", "http://www.mydomain.dk/database.nsf/0/" + doc.Universalid + "/" + fieldname + "?openfield&charset=utf-8", False, "", ""
obj.send("")
Dim html As String
html = Trim$(obj.responseText)
GetHtmlFromField = html
End Function
I'd suggest looking at Midas' Rich Text LSX (http://www.geniisoft.com/showcase.nsf/MidasLSX)
I haven't used the personally, but I remember them from years ago being the best option for working with Rich Text. I'd bet it saves you a lot of headaches.
As for the NotesMIMEEntity class, I don't believe there is a way to convert RichText to MIME, only MIME to RichText (or retain the MIME within the document for emailing purposes).
If you upgrade to Notes Domino 8.5.1 then you can use the new ConvertToMIME method of the NotesDocument class. See the docs. This should do what you want.
Alternativly the easiest way to get the Domino server to render the RichText will be to actually retrieve it via a url call. Set up a simple form that just has the RichText field and then use your favourite HTTP api to pull in the page. It should then be pretty straight forward to pull out the body.
Keep it simple.
Change the BODY field to Store contents as HTML and MIME
Open the doc in editmode.
Save.
Close.
You can now use the NotesMIMEEntity to get what you need from script.
You can use the NotesDXLExporter class to export the Rich Text and use an XSLT to transform the output to what you need.
I know you mentioned using LotusScript, but if you don't mind writing a small Java agent (in the Notes client), this can be done fairly easily - and there is no need to modify the existing form design.
The basic idea is to have your Java code open a particular document through a localhost http request (which is simple in Java) and to have your code capture that html output and save it back to that document. You basically allow the Domino rendering engine to do the heavy lifting.
You would want do this:
Create a form which contains only the rich-text field you want to convert, and with Content Type of HTML
Create a view with a selection formula for all of the documents you want to convert, and with a form formula which computes to the new form
Create the Java agent which just walks your view, and for each document gets its docid, opens a URL in the form http://SERVER/your_database_path.nsf/NEW_VIEW/docid?openDocument, grabs the http response and saves it.
I put up some sample code in a similar SO post here:
How to convert text and rich text fields in a document to html using lotusscript?
Works in Domino 10 (have not tested with 9)
HTMLStrings$ = NotesRichTextItem .Converttohtml([options] ) As String
See documentation :
https://help.hcltechsw.com/dom_designer/10.0.1/basic/H_CONVERTOHTML_METHOD_NOTESRICHTEXTITEM.html
UPDATE (2022)
HCL no longer support this method since version 11. The documentation does not include any info about the method.
I have made some tests and it still works in v12 but HCL recommended to not use it.
Casper's recommendation above works well, but make sure the ACL is such to allow Anonymous Access otherwise your HTML will be the HTML from your login form
If you do not need to get the Richtext from the items specifically, you can use ?OpenDocument, which is documented (at least) here: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/library/ls-Domino_URL_cheat_sheet/
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSVRGU_9.0.1/com.ibm.designer.domino.main.doc/H_ABOUT_URL_COMMANDS_FOR_OPENING_DOCUMENTS_BY_KEY.html
OpenDocument also allows you to expand sections (I am unsure if OpenField does)
Syntax is:
http://Host/Database/View/DocumentUniversalID?OpenDocument
But be sure to include the charset parameter as well - Japanese documents were unreadable without specifying utf-8 as the charset.
Here is the method I use that takes a NotesDocument and returns the HTML for the doc as a string.
private string ConvertDocumentToHml(Domino.NotesDocument doc, string sectionList = null)
{
var server = doc.ParentDatabase.Server.Split('/')[0];
var dbPath = doc.ParentDatabase.FilePath;
string viewName = "0";
string documentId = doc.UniversalID.ToUpper();
var ub = new UriBuilder();
ub.Host = server;
ub.Path = dbPath.Replace("\\", "/") + "/" + viewName + "/" + documentId;
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(sectionList))
{
ub.Query = "OpenDocument&charset=utf-8";
}
else
{
ub.Query = "OpenDocument&charset=utf-8&ExpandSection=" + sectionList;
}
var url = ub.ToString();
var req = HttpWebRequest.CreateHttp(url);
try
{
var resp = req.GetResponse();
string respText = null;
using (var sr = new StreamReader(resp.GetResponseStream()))
{
respText = sr.ReadToEnd();
}
return respText;
}
catch (WebException ex)
{
return "";
}
}
