Review by Jeffrey K. White for Rating: This book could be useful if the eaxeplms actually worked. I have barely reached the 50th page and all ready I have found more errors than should be allowed in an entire book. The eaxeplms are mis-quoted and several don't work. The book might be more helpful if the proof reader knew enough on the subject to correct the more obvious errors. If you buy this book be ready to experiment with the syntax which may be close but not always correct.

Prevent large attachments

Since I couldn't prevent a person from attaching a large file before the document is saved,
I ended up putting this code into the PostSave event. I say, let the person save the doc,
then interrogate the data, and if the file is too large, oh well, see ya..... I give them
a message. I found that I have to close the UI instead of allowing users to stay in edit
mode, as there's some residual pointer left over. Sometimes the pointer or image
shows up as if there is an attachment, but errs out when you click on it. This also takes
into account multiple attachments, and removes only the ones that are over the limit.
Enjoy, Keith Blankenship

Using the 'With' statement in JavaScript

The 'with' statement in JavaScript lets you preface an object and all of its properties and methods without a long object address, saving you time while you are coding. For example this function below uses the 'with' statement after the function is declared. The with statement passes the form object which allows the rest of the script to access the form's properties and methods without a full address.

Now your UI doesn't refresh and the user still executes the submit action.

JavaScript function for doing search and replace of a character within a string

The following function takes three parameters -- the string upon which it operates, the character it is searching for, and the character it is replacing that character with. It returns the new string product of this search and replace operation, and works in Navigator 3x and 4x, as well as IE 3x and 4x. This can be useful if, say, you are doing parameter passing to a Query_String field in a domino document via the URL, and need to replace the spaces in the text you are passing in the URL with underscore characters. If you are confined to using JavaScript to ac complish this search and replace operation, then this function will do the trick.

List-processing functions

The list-processing functions of the @formula language provide some of the strongest processing capabilities of any built in feature of Notes. Translating them to JavaScript is fairly straightforward. List in JavaScript are implemented as arrays, but you use them in almost the same way you do the @formula language. Perhaps the most obvious use of these functions on a Web page is in string parsing, but your imagination and necessity may suggest many more. Here are the JavaScript versions of some list processing functions:

Calculating array values in JavaScript

This JavaScript function uses a global variable listSize which is computed from the formula @Elements(someList). The list is really an array of <INPUT> fields called total and quantity.

Lock a document that is being edited?

How do you lock a document that is being edited? Eric Koeler has written a set of functions for doing this in Notes 4.x. You can grab the code and a code sample at his web site. The Lotuscript code works by adding a lock field to the document the user wishes to edit and then immediately saving the document; when other users try to open the document, they will see that there is a lock field so they cannot edit the document. This technique will only work if the database is on a single server (no replication). There is also a small chance for a race condition if two users manage to read a document simultaneously without the lock. Finally, if the user's system crashes while editing this locked document, the document will remain locked unless you implement some sort of emergency unlock mechanism.

STRING TOKENIZING

STRING TOKENIZING. A very common programming problem is one where you have a string of characters, that you'd like to split into individual chunks (or tokens). Typically, white space (created by inserting spaces and tabs) is used to separate one token from the next. The Java language provides an easy way to solve this problem: the java.util.StringTokenizer class. You create a new instance of StringTokenizer, specifying a string to be tokenized. Then hasMoreTokens and nextToken are called repeatedly to obtain the next token from the string.

Updating Oracle database from Lotus Notes

You can use the ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) Version 2.0 standard to access data in non-Notes databases.

For example, a customer call-tracking application in Notes can access customer financial data from an ODBC-compliant relational database management system.

Compute With Form

This agent runs on a selected document. When run it "recomputes" the form. I use this a lot when I need to change something like a reader field that is computed when composed. Instead of adding an additional readers field to a form and then modifying each form this will allow you to recompute the values of such fields after you have changed the field formula. This is handy especially if you forget to give yourself access to certain fields (in which case you have to run this at the server) but it can save a lot of time and heartache.

For example, you want to do some calculations based on user's input and passed the result to the underlying document or determine which field not to pass. You can use [ noNewFields ] , [ noFieldUpdate ] to accomplish this to a certain degree, but here a way to mix saved and unsaved items.

Calculating Business Days Between Two Dates

It is elementary for a Notes programmer to calculate the number of calendar days between two dates (It is even quite easy to calculate the non-weekend days between two dates. However, it is much tougher to calculate the number of business days given a list of holidays. This requires some form of recursion or looping to check 1) if a holiday falls anywhere within the range, or 2) if any of the dates in the range is on a list of holidays. The presumption is that you don't know exactly how many calculations you need to make, hence the need for recursion or looping. The following example demonstrates a recursive mechanism to do this calculation. It uses a button and three macros. Two dates are supplied. A button is avialable to calculate and set the value for a third field containing the number of business days. A text list containing the holidays must also be available, either in a variable or through a lookup.

Something to watch out for with Str$

This is documented, but I totally missed it, and I figure others might as well. In Ami Pro, we didn't really have to worry about data types; it was all handled internally for us. But with LotusScript, we sometimes need to do some conversions. An example is changing a number over to it's string representation. For this, you usually use Str$. But watch out! Str$ returns a leading space. So, Str$(1) actually returns " 1". Usually this won't matter, but in some cases it can come back to bite you. Here's some example code where Str$ doesn't work as expected because of the leading space...

Set a dialog box to "always on-top"

Editor's Note (11/30/95): This example uses 16 bit Windows API calls and will not work in the 32 bit. For the same functionality in the 32 bit version of Word Pro, change the Declare statements to the appropriate 32 bit Window API call. Place the following declarations in the Globals, and the Dialogevent code in your dialog box object, and the dialog box will be set to be always on top, even when you switch to another application. Note: this will probably not work with dialog bars, since they are child windows of Word Pro, not top level windows like normal dialogs. Note2: This will be slighly easier (and more robust) when the GetHwnd method is implemented for CustomDialog.

Reloading Rich Text

A common problem encountered by Notes developers is the limitation of the NotesUIDocument Reload() method. When you open a document and make changes to its back-end version, you can call the Reload method to display the updates in the front-end version. Changes to rich text fields, however, won't show up. As a workaround, you can close and reopen the current document automatically. For example, the following form action button script takes the current document, appends text to its Body field, closes it, then reopens it. This example assumes there is a view named "AllByUNID" which contains all the documents in the database sorted by UNID.

Sum a List of Values

Concept
Have you tried adding two list of numbers together? 1:1:1:1 + 1:1:1:1 = 2:2:2:2. Now lets split the resultant list and add the two list together. 2:2 + 2:2 = 4:4. Now do it again. 4 + 4 = 8. So if you start with the list 1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1 and use this process you would get your answer of 8. That's all there is to it. A little more to it. Obviously your list has to contain a number of elements equal to a power of 2. That's the first thing to fix. 1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1
1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1 1:1
1:1 1:1:1:1:1:1 1:1 1:1 + 1:1
2:2
Now concatenate the new list with the leftover list
2:2:1:1:1:1:1:1 Limits
There is a self imposed limit of 8192 elements that can be added together. The formula can be extended to add together millions of elements but there must always be a limit. 8192 was chosen for two reasons. 1: A number takes 8 bytes in LN. A lookup can only return 64k. Only 8192 numbers will fit into 64k. 2: A field on a form has the same limit. I've found that the fact of being a list also takes some of that 64k space and further limit the number of elements. Formula
Put the list in a field called values and pass it to the formula

Set Subtraction

Scenario: You have set A {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8} and you have set B {1,2,3}, and you need to know what members of set A are NOT in set B. Follow this tip: Application: Very often people need to fill out timesheets or some other form on a regular basis. It's very easy to see who has filled out the required form for the required date. Just build a view. But how do you show who hasn't filled out the required form for the required date. You can't do it in a view since there are no documents to show. The solution is to calculate the names and show them in a special document created just for this purpose. Using DBLookups you can create your SetA and SetB list. SetA is a list of all the people that have ever filled out the form. The assumption is that if a person has filled out a form in the past, they must still be filling out forms (actually you can put in code to account for terminated people). Set B is created by looking up the names of people that have filled out the form for the date in question. You have an editable field for the date in question. Just enter the date, press F9. You've got your list of delinquents. You can also have a button to mail memos to the unlucky winners, to prompt them to get the required documents in on time.

This macro generates response documents but only one at a time. It could be made to become a "looping" macro, but I advise against that since looping macros in Lotus 4 crashes Notes when run in a 16 bit environment. Anyway, see the Lotusscript version of this if you want "looping". This macro is nice because, even though it generates the response doc one at a time, it is still quicker than manually generating a response document.

Document Numbers - Unique

There are times when, for some reason or another, you need a document to behave as a response but it can't be a response because it's a document in it's own right. When faced with this situation I usually create a serial number for the document with this formula. This formula creates a text value containing the users initials and the current time. It looks something like this: JB11-01-93 01:18:15 AM It's accurate to the second so the chances of two serial numbers being the same are very slim. Inheriting this field allow me to sort by serial number and group related documents together. I believe this has advantages over using @UniqueDocumentID. 1. @UniqueDocumentID is undocumented and cannot be depended on. 2. My serial number uses less memory than @UniqueDocumentID
3. My serial number is meaningful. @UniqueDocumentID is not. Using serial numbers allows you to do other things as well. For instance, the "response" documents can add to the serial number. Not only can you identify a common set of documents but you can calculate how many of a particular type of document exist within the set.

Deleting Duplicate Documents from a Database

Problem: There are many instances when one needs to know whether there are duplicate documents in a database. Having a macro which could identify or even delete these duplicate docs would be great! Solution: By duplicate documents, we really mean documents with the same ID, where ID can be any unique identifier you choose; CallNumber, CustomerName, SocialSecurityNumber, etc... (this should not be confused with Replication Conflicts, which are multiple instances of the same document!) Given this definition, there are two principal cases we will consider: 1. Duplicate documents within a database 2. New versions of some documents are to be imported, and the user doesn't want to create a condition where there are duplicate docs. Therefore, they want to delete the old docs before importing their new counterparts.

Approve Workflow Button

This formula is a short illustration of a very powerful technique. Suppose you have several routing steps in a workflow application. Each step may have very similar fields and buttons, but of course Notes formulas do not have subroutines to generalize functionality. Here we get our specific stuff out of the way at the top, and have generic code the rest of the way. Thus when you change the way the formula works, you don't have to copy the code, and then go through the painstaking and error-prone process of adapting essentially the same formula to the different sections of code. This sample is based on the approach that there are a number of sets of fields, each essentially the same, where each fieldname ends in an ordinal number, 1, 2, 3, etc., corresponding to the position of the set.

Format Phone Number Fields

This formula will automatically format phone number field entries in which the user does not enter dashes between the area code, prefix and suffix. For example, if a user types 4077888561, Notes will convert the number to 407-788-8561. This formula is ideal if you are importing information from another database in which phone number formatting was not used, or you just want to assist your users in properly formatting a phone number. This is just an example used to illustrate the use of formulas to format text: your formula may take on some additional characteristics depending on the phone number lengths, formatting needs, etc. that are typically entered by the user in an "ideal world" situation.

Hide Navigator When Opening A View

Use this formula to open a view from a navigator hotspot or button when you want to hide the navigator pane in the view. For example, this formula tells Notes to open a view called Texas, then expand the all categories within the opened view, then hide the navigator that would typically be displayed on the left of the window. Use this type of formula when you either want to hide the navigator so that the user can't select options from it, or to provide more space on-screen for the view contents.

Formula

Removing Stored Form Fields

You can removed the Stored Form fields in a document if you decided that you no longer want to store a form with a set of documents because of the additional memory and disk space required. To remove the fields, you can create an agent that looks for a particular value in a document and then deletes the specified fields in that document as shown below. You then assocate a new value in the new Form Field to indicate what form you want to use to display the data.

Formula
