Dynamic Prompt Table Depending on a Drop Down Value

Tue, 02/03/2009 - 11:24pm — Lepa

In this post I will attempt to explain how to dynamically assign a prompt table depending on a drop down value (see image below)

The table behind the grid is PORTAL_SECDYVW and as you can see from the image below, the PORTAL_AUTHNAME field has %EDITTABLE defined as a prompt table. The PORTAL_AUTHNAME is the "Name" column you see on the grid.

Delete All Grid Rows

Thu, 01/01/2009 - 5:52pm — Lepa

A very simple yet very useful code to give users the option to delete all grid rows on a page at once. I've implemented such a requirement by placing a "Delete all" button above a grid to give PeopleSoft users the option to delete all rows at once instead of clicking the "-" grid button. If the gird has, lets say, 20 rows, then a user will have to click the "-" delete grid button 20 times to delete all rows, compared to one click on the "Delete all" button.

Place the code below behind a field change event.

   &RECCNT = ActiveRowCount(Record.record_name_behind_grid);

Get Edit Tables Behind a Record Fields

Sun, 12/14/2008 - 4:05pm — Lepa

A straight forward SQL to get edit tables behind field(s) for a specific record. The SQL execludes any edit tables that start with "%" as those are dynamic edit tables with values populated by PeopleCode at run time and thus will not be of a good use in this query.

SELECT R.FIELDNAME 
 , R.EDITTABLE 
  FROM PSRECFIELDDB R 
  , PSDBFIELD F 
 WHERE R.RECNAME = :RecordName
   AND SUBSTR(R.EDITTABLE,1,1) <> '%'  
   AND R.EDITTABLE <> ' '  
   AND R.FIELDNAME = F.FIELDNAME
   AND F.FLDNOTUSED = 0;

A List of Pages a Peoplesoft Role Name can Access

Tue, 12/09/2008 - 5:19pm — Lepa

A query that will take a PeopleSoft role name as an input and returns all pages that could be access by that role. The query will also indicate what kind of operations a user can perform on that page. Example, Add Update/Display and so forth.

    FROM psroleclass a,
         psauthitem b,
         pspgeaccessdesc c,
         pspnlgroup d,
         psmenuitem e
   WHERE a.classid = b.classid
     AND d.pnlgrpname = e.pnlgrpname
     AND b.menuname = e.menuname

Function to Increment a Date Field

Sun, 11/02/2008 - 9:40pm — Lepa

The function increments a date field using the AddToDate function and sets a weekday field to the corresponding weekday. You can increment date value by year, month or day.

Function increment_date(&DATE, &WEEKDAY, &YEAR_INCREMENT, &MONTH_INCREMENT, &DAY_INCREMENT);
   If All(&DATE) Then
      &DATE = AddToDate(&DATE, &YEAR_INC, &MONTH_INC, &DAY_INC);
      /*get day value for the incremented date*/
      &WEEKDAY = String(Weekday(&DATE));
   End-If;
End-Function;

Mon, 10/27/2008 - 7:11pm — Lepa

A function to facilitate the addition of a leading character to a field value. The function takes three parameters:
