I've created a program with FM: TR_TADIR_POPUP_ENTRY_E071. I am trying to generate at the same time text-symbols for this program.
Any ideas how to do that?
I think there's no standard interface for that. Check the ABAP statement INSERT TEXTPOOL. Documentation is placed here.
Before anything I recommend you to manually create a local program with text-symbols and in another program read the texts with READ TEXTPOOL command to see what's the data structure. In that way you can build up the input data.
SAPLINK uses this technique also.

is there any easy way to batch convert links by appending characters and provide batch output.
As shown in this picture

The inputs will be given in batch as separate lines , and the output expected is batch in separate lines..
I do not have any programming background, so appreciate if you can direct me to any application that can easily do it without me writing the code else you can give me advice. I do have windows and MS office, so if there is something already in there, that can do it by writing a simple program, also let me know.
You can use regular expressions to achieve that. There are many online tools where you can transform your data without having tools installed locally.
I prepared an expression for you here: https://regex101.com/r/l1ZUHZ/1
Programmatically a solution could look like:
/^(http.*)//gm
A second example, that matches the protocol and replaces it with https: https://regex101.com/r/sufiUI/1
/^https?(:.*)//gm
Sorting is a different task. I suppose you can do that in Excel for example. There's also a sort command available in Windows.
To sort in reverse order you need the /r option.
My app currently reads a script containing instructions on what the app should do next. Think of it this way ---> My app is like an orchestra, and when it is passed sheet music (the script), it knows what to do. The sheet defines what different parts of the orchestra do at different times.
Currently, writing the script by hand is tedious. I want to be able to define chunks, which I can drag and drop from my gui to the script. I was wondering if there already is tools which let you do something like this, or if I should write my own tool.
Basically, when I click on something in the gui, it should insert a template into my plist, which I can tweak.
EDIT: It looks like the ability to create "Property list Structure Definitions" is what I am after. I have tried searching the apple site, but I can't find any documentation.
Two things come to mind:
You don't mention what format the input is in, nor what you want the GUI tool to do beyond letting you "drag chunks". But if you can define your format into an XML schema, then you can use any number of XML authoring tools that customize their interface based on schema. Also gives you the ability to make it easy to let the UI enter parameters/customization, which your script language likely has. Final bonus: you might be able to convert script directly into a plist with a simple XSLT file.

I'm new to Rational Functional Tester(RFT). I want to know, How to use decriptive progrmming in RFT? and is it possible to edit scriptname.java file?
What is the equivalent RFT command for QTP's execute command?
1) Regarding descriptive programming, the analogous feature in RFT is the find function. See my previous answer on the subject.
2) Is it possible to edit scriptname.java file? You do not want to muck around with the script files directly, as there are a number of supporting files for each script. If you want to rename a script, use the test explorer pane, right-click the script and select rename.
3) I'm not sure there is a direct analog for this. Here this is really a VBScript command, not QTP. There are many differences between VBScript and Java. VBScript is interpreted, Java is compiled. Is there something in particular that you are trying to accomplish?
I'm trying to integrate custom dynamic analysis tools to CDash. Such as KWStyle, CppCheck and Visual Leak Detector.
I'v figured out that I need to generate a DynamicAnalysis.xml file and submit it to CDash, from CTest scripts.
I think I know how to run the external tool as a part of the ctest script.
Either by using these variables to change how ctest_memcheck() works
CTEST_MEMORYCHECK_COMMAND
CTEST_MEMORYCHECK_SUPPRESSIONS_FILE
CTEST_MEMORYCHECK_COMMAND_OPTIONS
or by running the tool from the execute_process() command.
But I'm a bit uncertain which one to use.
The main problem I think I have is, how can I extract errors from the output of the custom tool and include that information into the DynamicAnalysis.xml to submit?
The extreme solution i see is that i'd need to make a program that generates a valid DynamicAnalysis.xml file.
But the problem is that I don't know the syntax of the DefectList element in the XML file. I have found no answer from google and even the XML Schema for that file is unhelpful.
EDIT:
Looking at this:
http://www.cdash.org/CDash/viewDynamicAnalysis.php?buildid=987149
What draws my attention are the labels, especially the empty ones. I don't see how these would come from the DynamicAnalysis.xml file. Maybe it tracks any labels that have ever appearred? Can i create my own custom labels somehow?
Does CDash create the labels automatically, depending on the tool type? Does this block custom defect types?
I'm just guessing here, so the question is; can i create custom labels for my custom tool, just by generating a DynamicAnalysis.xml - file.
It occurred to me that the amount of different errors from CppCheck (static code analysis) is huge, compared to valgrind for instance. I'm not that certain that I should use the dynamic analysis. Maybe a custom build type (Continuous / Experimental / Nightly) thing would work better. Like this:
http://www.cdash.org/CDash/buildSummary.php?buildid=930174
I have no idea how to do this, i guess it requires meddling around with CDash code?
Which one would work better?
If you are using valgrind, you can simply set CTEST_MEMORYCHECK_COMMAND to the full path to valgrind, and ctest will generate the DynamicAnalysis.xml file for you from the valgrind output when you call ctest_memcheck.
The best way to understand the possible values that can appear in the DynamicAnalysis.xml file is to analyze the source code of CTest.
The file CMake/Source/CTest/cmCTestMemCheckHandler.cxx has the list of defect types in a variable named "cmCTestMemCheckResultLongStrings". Search through that file for references to that variable to see what the possible values are and how they are used to generate "<Defect/>" xml elements.
EDIT (for additional information):
You can also easily see what XML elements CDash is expecting by inspecting its source code. Specifically, the file "CDash/xml_handlers/dynamic_analysis_handler.php".
From what I'v learned so far, is that for a tool that runs on the tests made in the cmake script, the Dynamic Analysis is the thing.
For tools that run on the entire program, a custom Build.xml is the thing you need.
I found out that i can commit those files from the ctest_submit command by using the FILES parameter.
I also found out that you can add custom "build names" to the side of Continuous, Nightly, and others.
And that you can set the builds from certain machines to be automatically transferred under these.
The custom labels under DynamicAnalysis did come from somewhere in CDash, i can't remember where anymore.
I'm trying to figure out how to do this as I'm not sure what's the proper way of doing this.
I've got several strings that I want to store/save permanently, even after the application is closed. How should I proceed? Do I read or write from a textfile?
I believe you're looking for a feature known as Application Settings. This feature will take care of storing settings between instances of the application. The manner in which it stores settings is ClickOnce and User aware so it takes much of the problems out of the picture.
Here's a link to an overview on the topic
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/c9db58th(VS.80).aspx
Use My.Settings
Yes, you might store it in a simple text file or use a settings file.
Take a look at Application Settings:

I store what I need in a plain text file. I use my own format: First line: lenght of the array or the number of bytes/lines the data needs to be stored. Second line: data types. third line: directories or path info. At the end I store the data.
That's because programming languages can read by characters or by lines. C++ considers either whitespaces and lines.
SQL or Access is when you need to store more complex data than just strings or arrays.
Yes, I'd store it in some form of text file, then you can read it on load. It's very easy to implement in Visual Basic and you might even find some samples in Codemonkeys or similar. I'd avoid using the registry. Of course if you want, you could also use some sort of database (Access, SQLITE, etc.) to store the values. But that depends upon the type of data and how much do you need to read/write from it.
yes you can write to a text file, or try SQLite, which can let your VB program have database capabilities.
