How to create a new SU01 User Parameter ID...
The requirement was to have something against the User Master Record that we could use to differentiate between users when MIGOing stuff. I tried just entering the new value, but I needed to make an SM30 entry in table TPARA first!
This was achieved by Personas calling using an HTML5 BSP with JavaScript library in which employed the camera on an HP Slate. Meanwhile, the Personas screen sent a call to a Web Enabled RFC, which waited for the response from the HTML5 page.
Here's a great blog from a guy who's managed to get a QR Code output onto a SMARTForm.
Essentially, he:
- uses a Google Charts API to generate the QR Code,
- reads the content of this in using the HTTP_CLASS.
- transfers this content to a nominal bitmap file on SAP
- refers to this file in the SMARTForm

It's so pretty. Again, great work to the author.
In this case, a Finance Invoice visible in transaction MIR4.

Absolutely fantastic work by the author, props.
Nothing really to add to that, the use case is described excellently at the link.
Okay, so it's been a while; as usual! In this post, I explain how to use CSS to affect the screen elements in your UI5 application.
If you're new to UI5, the tutorials here are absolutely invaluable. After much boshing around, I found this one to be the one that I refer back to the most. The "create a ui5 app in 20 seconds" claim is a bit of misdirection in my eyes; true, you are referring to the UI5 library, but you're not talking to a backend, you're not even deploying it anywhere useful (unless you put it in your dropbox folder or some-such). The step between that and the actual application is a little big, and I could have done with a bit more hand-holding, but got there in the end.
I've now developed a few UI5 applications that "do stuff" in SAP.
So, what did I solve today? I'd used the responsive layout container but found that a dropdown in the layout kept on overflowing over the end of where I wanted it to be.
In order not to disrupt the flow of the program, I added in the CSS at the top of the HTML, where one would normally put it in... instead of with the JS declaration.
new sap.ui.layout.form.FormElement({
label: "Status : ",
fields: [ oDropdownBox2 = new sap.ui.commons.DropdownBox({layoutData: new sap.ui.layout.ResponsiveFlowLayoutData({weight: 1}),
id: "DropdownBox2",})],
layoutData: new sap.ui.layout.ResponsiveFlowLayoutData({linebreak: true, margin: false})
})
The above is the JS declaration of the screen object. I've highlighted the id, because that gets used in the CSS...
<style type="text/css">
#DropdownBox2 {
width: 100%;
max-width: 200px;
min-width: 60px;
}
</style>
And hey-presto, the dropdown is behaving itself again:
Now I'm sure that there are better ways, but since this works, for now I'll use it until someone corrects me and tells me otherwise! Before anyone asks, I did try changing the weight of the responsiveFlowLayoutData and putting in CSS against the actual declaration, but none of those appeared to have any effect. Try it for yourself!
