Convert a Smart Form into PDF in an Xstring variable - pdf

I have to generate a Smart Form in PDF format. I have to save this output (in any possible format which I would say is type either string or xstring) in a Z table so it can be generated again without the processing.
Could you please clarify if there is any way of saving the Smart Form PDF in xstring type?
I have looked into the output of function module that generates the Smart Form and tried to look for xstring but was unable to find it.

In the CONTROL_PARAMETERS importing parameter of the function module you use to output the Smart Form, pass the field GETOTF = 'X' in order to receive the field OTF_DATA from the exporting parameter JOB_OUTPUT_INFO.
Then you can convert the field OTF_DATA into PDF format with the function module CONVERT_OTF.
That gives you a binary table that you can convert to the xstring type using the function module SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING.

How to parse more than 30k emailbodys

I am using MS Excel Enterprise and connected via Exchange Server to Outlook and got all the E-Mails via Power Query and their respective Body (Body.TextBody). Now I have an excel file with over 15k rows and the E-Mails are not sent in any particular form. I need to process all of them.
The first step is to clean each of the Body so that only the last reply is left. Afterwards I'd want to remove any names of employees (I have an list with all names) if it is in the list.
So i converted the excel file to an csv file and then read it via pandas. Now I'm trying to use different kind of functions but it doesn't work. As an example I'dlike to use a function from the library email_reply_parser. If I try to use any functions with apply() on my column it doesn't work. I feel like I misunderstood something completely wrong about it and I tackled the problem in the wrong way?
I had different errors like
AttributeError: 'float' object has no attribute 'lower'
TypeError: expected string or bytes-like object
AttributeError: 'float' object has no attribute 'replace'
Am I even on the correct path for this task`?

Create both an int and string from an extracted json in jmeter

I'm currently running some performance tests and am having issues converting a string I have extracted from JSON into an int.
The problem I'm having is that I need this number which has been extracted as both an int and a string, its currently only a string and I don't see how I can create another variable where the number is an int.
Here is the JSON extractor I'm using
How can I have another variable which is an int?
By default JMeter stores values into JMeter Variables in String form, if you need to save it in Integer form as well you can do it using i.e. __groovy() function like:
${__groovy(vars.putObject('Fixture_ID_INT'\, vars.get('Fixture_ID') as int),)}
and access it where required like:
${__groovy(vars.getObject('Fixture_ID_INT'),)}
Demo:
More information: Apache Groovy - Why and How You Should Use It
you can use the below code
Integer.parseInt(vars.get("urs"));

PDFSharp; Add SVG signature to PDF File

I'm using jSignature javascript to save a signature to SVG. Now I'm trying to put that SVG on top of a PDF document over a signature blank.
I'm able to do it by converting the SVG to a file, opening that file with SVG (SVG Rendering Library 2.3.0) and turning it into a stream which I then put onto the PDF with PDFSharp. My issue is that I can't get the SVG Library to load from a string. It has to load from a file. I'm pulling these signatures from a Database along with their form related data.
Dim FileText As String
Dim Bytes() As Byte
Using DB As New wotcDB
FileText = (From t In DB.interviews Where t.ID = 1 Select t.Signature).FirstOrDefault
End Using
Bytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(FileText)
Using DataStream As New System.IO.MemoryStream(Bytes)
svgDocument = Svg.SvgDocument.Open(DataStream) 'Issue
End Using
The error I get is as follows;
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error BC30518 Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'Open' can be called with these arguments:
'Public Shared Overloads Function Open(Of T As {SvgDocument, New})(path As String) As T': Type parameter 'T' cannot be inferred.
'Public Shared Overloads Function Open(Of T As {SvgDocument, New})(stream As Stream) As T': Type parameter 'T' cannot be inferred. WOTC-FE d:\Programming\Applications\frmDebug.vb 54 Active
I hate the idea of creating a file to convert to a graphic when the overloads clearly show that I can use streams. What am I doing incorrectly?
Open the svg file in Notepad and check that it is actually using ASCII encoding. I think it is more likely that it is UTF-8. If so, use
Bytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(FileText)
instead.
I found the answer. It was something I already tried and though failed, but now it works. Since the type wasn't infer able, I had to declare it. I tried doing this as stream and it failed. Well today I decided to work through it and, I got it.
mySVG = SvgDocument.Open(Of SvgDocument)(newStream)
It's so obvious and I tripped over it. So to anyone else having this issue, that solves it. Please note that my program is running Option Explicit, Option Strict.

Why is this structure declaration allowed in a built-in Function Module but not in a new one?

I'm working on a Function Module to assist with dealing with included text with logic embedded. While looking into the way SAP handles SAPScript files and parses the logic I found a structure that is declared as so:
DATA BEGIN OF events OCCURS 100.
INCLUDE STRUCTURE ITCCA.
DATA: command LIKE BOOLEAN,
template LIKE BOOLEAN,
mask LIKE BOOLEAN,
END OF events.
This obviously works, as I can trace through it while it is running a print program. So I thought I would try a similar structure in my own code but even when I copied the code 1 for 1 like above I get an error during activation. The error is
"BOOLEAN" must be a flat structure. Internal tables, references,
strings and structures are forbidden as components.
Can someone explain to me why this structure is valid in one program and not mine?
To explain the actual effect: LIKE usually refers to a data object (an actual variable) on the right-hand side, not a data type. As you rightly discovered, once you provide a data object named BOOLEAN, that is used to construct the type. If a data object of that name is not present and you're not within a class or an interface, an obsolete variant of the LIKE statement will be triggered that also takes data types into account, but only allows for certain elements on the right-hand side - namely only flat structured objects or their components. LIKE DATATYPE-BOOLEAN should have worked. As usual, the error message is somewhat less than helpful.
It seems during my initial investigation I missed a declaration for the BOOLEAN type. In the STXC function group SAP decided to declare their own variable for boolean in a different include file like this:
data: boolean(1) type c.
I had originally assumed that they were doing this with the dictionary defined type which has a similar name and is a 1 character long string. What I also found is that if I were to change my structure declaration like this:
DATA BEGIN OF events OCCURS 100.
INCLUDE STRUCTURE ITCCA.
DATA: command TYPE BOOLEAN,
template TYPE BOOLEAN,
mask TYPE BOOLEAN,
END OF events.
My code would be valid because it would then be using the dictionary defined value. So either I have to add a declaration for my own definition of boolean so that I can use the LIKE keyword or I have to use the TYPE keyword to use the dictionary definition.

realm to Excel conversion

The realm-browser is great to look at realm-files, but what about exporting data from the realm-browser? Is there a tool out there to convert realm-files into other formats?
For example, is there an easy way to get data converted from .realm into an excel spreadsheet?
The realm-browser will eventually be extended to both import and export in various formats. The realm bindings will also get export to json capabilities.
Until then you can just iterate through allObjects and print them to a file with the built-in description method or extract each property and dump it in another preferred format.
