I need to display some information for the user on my selection screen.
Best way would be directly on the screen, so no pop-ups. I tried to use parameters with default value and read only but the length is limited.
Is there a way to get an information text on the selection screen which is a bit longer?
Maybe SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT would be of any use?
Here is an example.
REPORT zzz.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK BLCK1 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-001.
PARAMETERS: p_p1 TYPE i.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT /10(79) value.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT /1(79) value1.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT /1(79) value2.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK BLCK1.
INITIALIZATION.
value = `This is`.
value1 = `a comment to the user`.
value2 = `This comment line is much much much much much much much longer than 79 characters.`.
There is a limit of 79 characters per line though.

How do I print a conditional field using PPFA code. When a value is an 'X' then I'd like to print it. However, if the 'X' is not present then I'd like to print an image. Here is my code:
LAYOUT C'mylayout' BODY
POSITION .25 in ABSOLUTE .25 in
FONT TIMES
OVERLAY MYTEMPOVER 8.5 in 11.0 in;
FIELD START 1 LENGTH 60
POSITION 2.0 in 1.6 in;
Where it has FIELD START 1 LENGTH 60 that will print the given text at that location. But based on the value I want to print either the given text or an image. How would I do that?
Here is an answer from the AFP-L list:
I would create two PAGEFORMATS, one with LAYOUT for TEXT and one with LAYOUT for IMAGE. With CONDITION you can jump between the Pageformats (where Copygroup is always 'NULL')
If you work in a z/OS environment, be careful of 'JES Blanc Truncation'.
That means in one sentence:
if there is a X in the data, condition is true
if there is nothing in the data, condition doesn't work and is always wrong (nothing happens)
In this case you must create a Condition which is always true. I call it a Dummy-Condition.
PPFA sample syntax:
CONDITION TEST start 1 length 1
when eq 'X' NULL PAGEFORMAT PRTTXT
when ge x'00' NULL PAGEFORMAT PRTIMAGE;
You must copy this CONDITION into both PAGEFORMATS after LAYOUT command.
Blanc truncation is a difficult problem on z/OS.
In this sample, the PAGEFORMAT named PRTTXT contains all the formatting and printing directives when the condition is true, and the other called PRTIMAGE contains every directive needed to print the image.

I ran a PDF through a series of processes to extra the text from it. I was successful in that regard. However, now I want to extract specific text from documents.
The document is set up as a multi lined string (I believe. when I paste it into Word the paragraph character is at the end of each line):
Send Unit: COMPLETE
NOA Selection: 20-0429.07
#for some reason, in this editor, despite the next line having > infront of it, the following line (Pni/Trk) keeps wrapping up to the line above. This doesn't exist in the actual doc.
Pni/Trk: 3 Panel / 3 Track
Panel Stack: STD
Width: 142.0000
The information is want to extract are the numbers following "NOA Selection:".
I know I can do a regex something to the effect of:
pattern = re.compile(r'NOA\sSelection:\s\d*-\d*\.\d*)
but I only want the numbers after the NOA selection, especially because NOA Selection will always be the same but the format of the numbers/letters/./-/etc. can vary pretty wildly. This looked promising but it is in Java and I haven't had much luck recreating it in Python.
I think I need to use (?<=...), but haven't been able to implement it.
Also, several of the examples show the string stored in the python file as a variable, but I'm trying to access it from a .txt file, so I might be going wrong there. This is what I have so far.
with open('export1.txt', 'r') as d:
contents = d.read()
p = re.compile('(?<=NOA)')
s = re.search(p, contents)
print(s.group())
Thank you for any help you can provide.
With your shown samples, you could try following too. For sample 20-0429.07 I have kept .07 part optional in regex in case you have values 20-0429 only it should work for those also.
import re
val = """Send Unit: COMPLETE
NOA Selection: 20-0429.07"""
matches = re.findall(r'NOA\s+Selection:\s+(\d+-\d+(?:\.\d+)?)', val)
print(matches)
['20-0429.07']
Explanation: Adding detailed explanation(only for explanation purposes).
NOA\s+Selection:\s+ ##matching NOA spaces(1 or more occurrences) Selection: spaces(1 or more occurrences)
(\d+-\d+(?:\.\d+)?) ##Creating capturing group matching(1 or more occurrences) digits-digits(1 or more occurrences)
##and in a non-capturing group matching dot followed by digits keeping it optional.
Keeping it simple, you could use re.findall here:
inp = """Send Unit: COMPLETE
NOA Selection: 20-0429.07"""
matches = re.findall(r'\bNOA Selection: (\S+)', inp)
print(matches) # ['20-0429.07']
So, my problem is that I can get the numbers to print as integers, but can't get them to add together to form a one number total. right now, I am using the following code:
if command == 4:
total = 0
for item in items:
number = (item.split()[-1])
total += float(number)
print(total)
and my output ends up being:
2.99
1.87
when I would just want:
4.86
it's pretty simple code, and I feel like I'm missing something fairly obvious, but for the life of me I can't figure it out. Not sure why this is printing all weird, but here is a picture of the code as wellpartial
The list of items is populated from user input, here is a picture of the rest of the code I am using full code. I have been entering the items as 'socks, 2.99' if that helps clarifying things
Despite the fact that you're printing the total value in each iteration, you can improve your code and do the sum in one line, just if you wanna implement and you're interested I'll let the code right here:
total = sum(map(float, items))
I'm currently writing a command line tool for myself, that needs to print some information on the terminal. I'm a little annoyed of the whole formatting. Here is my example.
formatter = logging.Formatter(fmt = '%(message)s')
console_logger = logging.getLogger("console_logger")
console_logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
console_logger_handler = logging.StreamHandler()
console_logger_handler.setFormatter(formatter)
console_logger.addHandler(console_logger_handler)
console_logger.propagate = False
here goes some further code and then I have the printing function
for element in open_orders:
console_logger.info("Type: {}, Rate: {}, amount: {}, state: {}, pair: {}/{}, creation: {}, id: {}".format(element.type,
element.rate,
element.amount,
element.state,
element.currency_pair.get_base_currency().upper(),
element.currency_pair.get_quote_currency().upper(),
creation_time,
element.order_id))
I rather would like to have this as a column where the output is aligned at the colon. after each element a line of underscores or minusses would be nice as well, this should respect terminal width. I know this can be hardcoded in some manner, but isn't there a better way? Some kind of templating engine that can handle multiline output?
EDIT:
So here is an example:
Type : buy
Rate : 1234
amount : 1
state : active
pair : usd/eur
creation : 2017.12.12
I know this can be printed line by line with format but I need to determine the length of the longest string on my own and I was wondering if there isn a framework or something more elegant doing this for me.
id : 123456
Use format, add with your data :
for element in open_orders:
console_logger.info("Type: {:25s}, Rate: {:25s}, amount: {:07.2f}, state: {:25s}, pair: {:25s}/{:25s}, creation: {:25s}, id: {:25s}".format(element.type,
element.rate,
element.amount,
element.state,
element.currency_pair.get_base_currency().upper(),
element.currency_pair.get_quote_currency().upper(),
creation_time,
element.order_id))

In addition, you could try to use Colorama.
You have to install it, tipically, from pypi.
It allows you to handle cursor positioning, so you can control in which position at the screen (terminal) you want to print data, using "coordinates". Also, you can apply colors to text, which could give you a cleaner and prettier look if you want to.
So what I finally found which helps a lot at least in case of lists and formatting of them is this
terminaltable
There is a simple cursor, which has 260 records. Inside the loop not only print but update some tables. There is not only code, but explanation
/*Declare cursor for read only*/
DECLARE crsr_one CURSOR FOR
SELECT a,b,c,d
FROM table_name
WHERE a>=100
for read only
OPEN crsr_one /*open cursor*/
DECLARE #a,#b,#c,#d /*declare loop variables*/
while (1=1) /*start while loop*/
BEGIN
FETCH crsr_one into #a,#b,#c,#d /*fetch into variable */
IF (##sqlstatus = 2) /*Break if no more records*/
break
/*some other code with select and update table*/
print "%1! %2! %3! %4!", #a,#b,#c,#d /*Print variables*/
END
The problem is:
In the while loop it became infinitive and brings the same data.
Any idea why and how to correct it?
Your code looks good (except that the syntax for the DECLARE is invalid).
If the loop doesn't break on ##sqlstatus = 2, then the obvious question is: what value does it have? It can also be '1', indicating an error. To find out, print the value.
To be fully correct you should therefor also test for ##sqlstatus = 1. The easiest way to do this is to test for ##sqlstatus != 0 which covers both values 1 and 2.
