hello Andreas,
It is ok but i dont have to use view there.
i need to use without view, because this code has to be use in FORMS6i.
But Forms6i doesn't support to case function. i'm newbie in Forms.
If you can convert to below bold one portion(case) into decode then please help me or
if you have any idea about Forms6i then please send me any link where is given explanation about excel report that how to make excel report through Forms6i step by step and that excel report should be generate on any dynamic path which is given by user:-
cursor c1 is
select nc.nomenclature_id,
nvl(nc.category_value, 0) master,
nvl(nc2.category_value, 0) case,
nvl(nc3.category_value, 0) bundle,
case
when nvl(nc.category_value, 0) > 0 and
nvl(nc2.category_value, 0) > 0 and
nvl(nc3.category_value, 0) > 0 then
*'A'*
when nvl(nc.category_value, 0) > 0 and
nvl(nc2.category_value, 0) > 0 and
nvl(nc3.category_value, 0) = 0 then
