Event Rules

[rwellsw]

I am new to JDE so don't be hard on me.

I am trying to create a event rule for a report that will take the social security number and have it print like xxx-xx-xxxx.

I have created the below event rule but all I get on the report is the first 3 digits. How do I get it to print all 9 digits plus put the - between the sections?

RV Variable 000021 = substr([BC Employee Tax ID (F060116)],0,3)+substr([BC Employee Tax ID (F060116)],3,2)+substr([BC Employee Tax ID (F060116)],5,4 )


Thanks
Roger

roger,
have you tried creating three different variables and two constants containing '-' in between them ?

That should work but I am trying to make it work with a event rule.

Thanks
Roger

Here is a long version,


RV Variable 000021 = concat(substr([BC Employee Tax ID (F060116)],0,3),"-")

RV Variable 000021 = concat(RV Variable 000021,substr([BC Employee Tax ID
(F060116)],3,2))

RV Variable 000021 = concat(RV Variable 000021,"-")

RV Variable 000021 = concat(RV Variable 000021,substr([BC Employee Tax ID
(F060116)],5,4 ))

Actually, i don't think that you can use the "+" sign to concatenate strings. You have to use the Text Function called CONCAT to merger 2 strings together.

B73.3.1, SP10, Oracle 8, NT, Citrix

 

[LarryWilliams]

Instead, you should use the edit feature in the data dictionary to set the
editing to include the dashes. This will cause it to display in the correct
format on all reports and windows.

Roger,

Don't worry, no one on this list will be hard on you.

Try setting each section in a variable, put the - in another variable and
then use the concat function to concatenate the variables together (it is in
the same list where you got the substring function).

Hope this helps,

Tom

Roger,

I had to do something similar not to long ago. What I would suggest
is to assign each substring to it's own variable. Create a new variable and
use the concatenate function to tie the first variable to the '-' sign. In
7.3.2.1 you cannot concatenate more than 2 strings at a time, so you have to
assign the concatenated value more than once to get the desired result.

RV Variable 000018 = substr([BC Employee Tax ID (F060116)],0,3)
RV Variable 000019 = substr([BC Employee Tax ID (F060116)],3,2)
RV Variable 000020 = substr([BC Employee Tax ID (F060116)],5,4)
RV Variable 000021 = concat(RV Variable 000018, '-')
RV Variable 000021 = concat(RV Variable 000021, RV Variable 000019)
RV Variable 000021 = concat(RV Variable 000021, '-')
RV Variable 000021 - concat(RV Variable 000021, RV Variable 000020)

You could probably nest the substring functions in with the concat
function...worth the effort if you don't need to use the substring anywhere
else in your code.

Hope this helps.

You are correct you must use the concat function in assignments.

Re: RE: Event Rules

Roger,
You are welcome.

By my opinion, changing properties of an original OneWorld Datat Item in the Data Dictionary is NOT a GOOD practice. It will affect all part of OW where this Data Item is used and generally it is not desired.
Use CONCAT function as many of us suggested.
I don't think so that you have to create a lot of working variables.
Use TMTruong's long version or this one:

RV Variable 000021 =
concat
(
concat
(
concat(substr([BC Employee Tax ID (F060116)],0,3),"-"),
concat(substr([BC Employee Tax ID (F060116)],3,2),"-")
),
substr([BC Employee Tax ID (F060116)],5,4)
)

I have breaked the code to show the logic, and here is again without breaks:

RV Variable 000021 = concat(concat(concat(substr([BC Employee Tax ID (F060116)],0,3),"-"),concat(substr([BC Employee Tax ID (F060116)],3,2),"-")),substr([BC Employee Tax ID (F060116)],5,4))

At last my favorite:
"Please, place your system configuration information in your signature!"

Hi Roger,

Like in 'C' you can't use the + sign to add string together, you need to use the
concat function. Here is your example :

RV Variable 000021 = concat(substr([BC Employee Tax ID
(F060116)],0,3),concat(substr([BC Employee Tax ID (F060116)],3,2),substr([BC
Employee Tax ID (F060116)],5,4 )))

AW: Event Rules

Hi Roger,

you must put your BC Employee Tax ID (F060116)] with an substring into three
different variables.
This likes:
´
Variable1 = substr ([BC Employee Tax ID (F060116)],0,3)
Variable2 = substr ([BC Employee Tax ID (F060116)],3,2)
Variable3 = substr ([BC Employee Tax ID (F060116)],5,4)

After you hav done this, you must fill you RV Variable 0000021. I want do this
with an concat statement like this:

RV Variable 000021 =
concat(Variable1,concat('-',concat(Variable2,concat('-',Variable3))))
And then your security number prints abaout your like.

Re: RE: Event Rules

Roger,
Larry had written: "use the edit feature in the data dictionary".
Be careful and do not take for "edit feature" and "edit rule" in data dictionary.
"Edit Rule" is quite different thing, it is something like "validation".
I suppose, Larry had meant "Display Rule", this is the place where you can determine the display format in data dictionary.

Please, see my previous answer too and remember that I do not recommend this method changing properties in DD.

Let us know, could you resolved your problem and how.
Tahnks,
