Putting the cursor in a specific place in a live template - intellij-idea

I just wanted to know how you put a cursor in a specific place in a live template for IntelliJ
For example:
# $var$ is an insance of the $objectType$ class
assert isinstance($var$, $objectType$)$END$
What happens here is that your cursor gets dragged to $var$ in the comment string first and then to your other values inside assert. What I wanted to know is how you chose where the cursor goes first.
I've read the documentation, but this is not mentioned, although a lot of other things are.

You can arrange the order that your variables are visited in. You find the information under bullet number five in this IntelliJ help document: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/creating-and-editing-template-variables.html
To arrange variables in the order you want IntelliJ IDEA to switch between associated input fields, use the Move Up and Move Down buttons.
Edit
You have to update the macro definition to similar to this:
# $varComment$ is an insance of the $objectTypeComment$ class
assert isinstance($var$, $objectType$)$END$
And then you define the order and expression to something like this (I didn't have any good expression for the var and orderType for you):
Since you fill in the Skip if defined for the two comment variable they will just take the values from the var and orderType and fill it in. This will do exactly what you are looking for :-)

Meaning of (052) at the end of text literal?

Really just a curious question.
Here are a few examples of the same concern that I have since they are being exported to the FM "REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY" for parameter "it_fieldcat".
ls_fieldcat-seltext_l = 'Material number'(052).
ls_fieldcat-seltext_m = 'Material'(053).
ls_fieldcat-seltext_s = 'Mat.'(054).
I tried removing the numbers on the right and executed the program but I didn't see any differences and I also tried to see what happens inside debug mode but it only fills the field with the string value, am I missing something or is there something that I wasn't able to notice?
I've been tasked to create a copy of a program which originally joins multiple tables and filters them according to the Parameters from the SELECTION-SCREEN and then shows the results in an ALV Grid Report, but for the use case of the copy it should instead populate a table in ECC that we will then be replicating to BW side. I have successfully copied and modified it accordingly but I can't seem to understand what the numbers beside the strings are doing.
Can someone please explain what their use is, would be very grateful to see a few examples.
Thanks!
The number in the brackets is a text symbol defined as a part of the text elements of the program. Using the syntax 'Literal'(idf) replaces these literals in the program if the symbol is in the currently loaded text pool.

how to use a Variable in a value name in uipath

I'm new to uipath so forgive me if this is an easy question. I am using Get Text to retrieve some data from a table. I select Save For Later. How would/can I use a variable as part of the values name? Im not sure if it can actually be done, I'm just thinking of what I can do in php but I know uipath is a different beast. I've tried the following code in the "Give your value a name" field but it dosent work.
"random text" + variable
Lets say I have a variable called "money", I then create another variable but I want the value of the variable "money" to be part of the 2nd variables name...if that makes sense
You should first go to the (free) UiPath Academy, as this is such a basic question, actually.
But anyway to give you something here, let me solve your question.
Go to your Get Text activity
Rightclick into the Output value field
Select Create variable and set name to e.g. "test"
Now you can use that variable wherever you want (keep care of the scope for sure)

Adobe Animate CC, HTML5 Canvas - capture instance names as dynamic text?

Forgive me, I'm not a proper JS programmer and still getting my head around a lot of concepts.
Suppose one had a group of similar, 2-frame/2-state rollover movie clips nested inside a containing clip, which has the instance name "Map". Each clip uses a 4 digit ID number preceded by an "s" as an instance name – e.g., "s6566".
Suppose one then wanted to capture those respective instance names to define a variable, such that one small script could allow each of these movie clips to display their ID on rollover/active state (in this case "6566"), across multiple files.
Ultimately I have thousands of these little clips spread across several dozen documents, and it seems it should be fairly simple to grab each symbol's instance name/ID, strip off the "s" from the beginning (there because instance names can't begin with a numeral), and apply said ID as dynamic text to it's respective symbol's rollover/active frame.
Is there a method of achieving this goal? I wish I had some example code to include here, but I'm not quite sure how to begin, other than to lay out the problem thusly. Haven't yet been able to find any info on capturing instance names, and I'm not sure whether it's possible. Thanks.
Children of MovieClips are stored as references using their instance name. You can see the format in the exported library JS file. Note that Animate will convert some instance names to remove unsupported characters or duplicates.
Here is some untested pseudo-code to get you started.
// You can iterate a MovieClip and get the names
for (var name in someMovieClip) {
// Ignore anything not starting with an s
if (name.substr(0,1) != "s") { continue; }
// remove the s
var newName = name.substr(1);
// The child can be accessed using bracket-access with its name
var child = someMovieClip[name];
// The child should have text instances if it is set up how you described
// Set the text to the newName
child.textInstance.text = newName
}
Don't forget to update the stage after you make changes. If you already have Ticker set up to do that, it should update immediately.
I hope that helps. If you have follow-up questions, let me know.

Filling parameter with value from Zeconfig_var table

I have the following selection parameter:
PARAMETERS: p_ver(2) AS LISTBOX VISIBLE LENGTH 5.
I would like to populate it with the results from a ZECONFIG_VAR table.
At what point would I do this. Selection Screen Output, Start of Selection, or other. I am trying to allow users the ability to decide what version of the web service they would like to call. The config table will have different url's for the different versions.
I have looked at this Answer and the tutorial provided does not make sense to me.
I would do it at the event INITIALIZATION
However, it may be even easier to just create a search-help, and assign it to p_ver using the following:
parameters: p_ver(2) visible lenghth 5 MATCHCODE OBJECT zshelpname.
Esti is right that you probably want to fill an internal table from the DB table during INITIALIZATION.
But to the populate the listbox parameter, you need to put the call to VRM_SET_VALUES in AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.

Dynamically declaring parameters from table

Is it possible to dynamically create parameters from table entries?
For example like this:
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK example WITH TITLE text-01
LOOP AT example_internal_table INTO example_workarea
IF example_workarea-field = criteria.
PARAMETERS: (example_workareafield) AS CHECKBOX.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK example.
The code snippet above throws the error that example-workarea-field is not a constant. Does this mean it isn't possible to dynamically declare parameters or am I just doing it wrong? Thanks
Correct. PARAMETERS statements compile into selection screens at compile time, not at runtime. Therefore you cannot do what you want in the way you have proposed.
However, it is possible to have some form of dynamic screens.
Look at the answers to this question: For the I/O fields in a normal ABAP screen, can i get them to behave like a SELECT-OPTIONS?
This gives you two starting points: The use of subscreens, which you can call dynamically, or the use of FREE_SELECTIONS_INIT as examples.
Depending on how crazy you are about this, you can also investigate:
http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_702/en/abenabap_language_dynamic.htm
You could load the DYNPRO and dynamically change the screen, activate and then run a report that calls the changed screen.
This is of course a different approach from using PARAMETERS and should only be used for pet projects, not real production code as these statements are for internal use. I believe this is the approach that SE16 uses when it generates a selection screen for a table.
