Crystal reports array

Hi,
I am displaying a bar chart that lists the number of months from january to december on the x-axis, but the bar chart only displays march-~> december. I am working off a pre-created report and in the code it uses an array to put the values into it. The code is as follows:
Global stringvar array groupby := ({?GroupBy});
select groupby[1]
...case 'Groupbymonth' ....
...case 'Groupbyweek'.....
...etc.
any ideas on why this is happening?
thanks
J

At the bottom of the formula field, right before it returns, insert (Basic Syntax)
dim debug as number
debug = debug / debug
This will give a divide by zero error. When you press the OK button, the formula field will be displayed, as well as the values of all fields referenced by the formula. See if the data is as expected.
To get the breakpoint to happen on an iteration other than the first, use
global dbgcnt as number
dim debug as number
dbgcnt = dbgcnt + 1
if dbgcnt > 100 then
debug = debug / debug
end if
This will cause the break to happen on the 100th iteration.
Obviously, this additional logic will need to be commented out in order for the report to run to completion.
HTH,
Carl

Mapping Arrays indexing in Crystal Reports formulas and indexes

I just took a Crystal Reports Designer class today and I presented the Array Mapping technique to the instructor. Since he was very interested I decided to post it here, so more people can benefit from it. This is an idea used a lot in C++. I designed a formula using two symmetric arrays. One to hold values to be used to test a condition, and a second one to hold values to be outputted when the condition is found. Since the index in the test values array for a given value to be tested matches the index of return values array of the correspondent output value, this methodology is called index mapping. Here follows the code: //testValues array store values to be tested in the formulaLocal StringVar Array testValues := MakeArray ( "S", "M", "L", "XL"); //returnValues array store values to be returned by the test formulaLocal StringVar Array returnValues := MakeArray ( "Small", "Medial", "Large", "Extra Large", "App Type not Found");Local NumberVar i := 1;Local Numbervar returnIndex := -1; //Loop through the entire array for each values of the fieldWhile i <= Ubound(testValues) AND returnIndex = -1 Do(//Actual test of the values and return bellow If ToText({CUSTOMER.SIZE}, 0) = testValues Then( returnIndex := i;); i := i + 1;); //If any value found return it, else return last value in the return value arrayIf returnIndex = -1 Then returnValues[Ubound(testValues) + 1]Else returnValues[returnIndex] Fell free to email me if you have questions and enjoy the code...

Can you help with the below?

Crystal Reports for Enterprise - SQL Command - Array Fetch Size

We're attempting to migrate a report created in Crystal Reports 2013 Support Pack 3 Version 14.1.3.1257 to...
Crystal Reports for Enterprise Version 14.1.3.1300 Build: 2013 Support Pack 3 Patch 1
The originating report is successfully connecting and returning data from MySQL through the MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver (3.51.30.00), using a SQL Command
When opening up this report in CR for E and running the report against the same database and the same version of database driver, we get the following Crystal Reports error:
Crystal Reports
A problem was encountered
The following error has occurred while trying to retrieve the data:
Error on Fetch : Largevarchar and Largevarbinary data cannot retrieved as variable-length data if the array fetch size is not set to 1.
Please check with your System Administrator that the data source is correctly configured.
How would we check and where would we adjust the array fetch size within Crystal Report for Enterprise?
Thank you

Hi Vitaly,
I had not yet tried creating a new report based on the query, within CR for E, but I did now upon your request\suggestion. Yes, it fails as well with a brand new report..same new error as above: "Non Supported Datatype"
I've pasted the SQL we are using below. I just tried running this exact query natively through MyPHPAdmin, and also creating a brand new report with Crystal Reports 2013 against the same ODBC driver that I am trying to use within CR for E. In both cases the query was accepted and ran successfully.
Driver info:
MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver - Version 3.51.30.00
I have also tried 2 newer versions of the driver:
MySQL ODBC 5.3 ANSI - Version 5.03.02.00
MySQL ODBC 5.3 Unicode - Version 5.03.02.00
...where I also configure each within the Information Design Tool so that the "Array Fetch Size"= 1
I receive the same "Non Supported Datatype" error for these drivers as well. The MySQL server version is: 5.1.73-0ubuntu0.10.04.1-log

Purchase Order Crystal Report Layout Error

The stock Crystal Report Layout for Purchase Orders is giving me the following error:
A subscript must be between 1 and the size of the array.

I looked in the Crystal Reports Formula fields and could not find N_Decimal_Places.
Has any one else had the problem with the PO layout that comes with Business One? If so, how did you fix it?

Couldn't find how to copy the PO layout over using copy express.
I did compare the RDOC fields for POR20002 in both databases and they are Identical.
In Crystal Reports, I did a formula search for N_Decimal_Places and it found nothing. Then I did a search for 'length' in all formulas and it finds length in N_Decimal_Places. When I double click on N_Decimal_Places it clears the screen and never shows the formula. This happens in both layouts for my test database and SBODemoUS.
Again, SBODemoUS works correctly and AAA_TEST give the error.

Dynamic crystal report generation - issues with column headings

Hi All, 
I'm trying to generate a crystal report dynamically based on a "result set" data(Query: select REPORT_ID, REPORT_NAME, REPORT_DESC, RPT_FILE_NAME, LOCATION from IRS_REPORT_DETAILS). I'm able to generate the report run time, But the report is without columns heads. I would like to include the column headings as well. 
I searched the API(RAS) and found that there is a 'add(java.lang.String fieldName, java.lang.String headingText) " method present in "ReportObjectController" using which we can add the headings. 
ReportDefController reportDefController = clientDoc.getReportDefController();
ReportObjectController reportObjectController = reportDefController.getReportObjectController();
reportObjectController.add( "{Table.Field}", "FieldName" );
 
I'm facing problems in using this code. When trying to use this function for my fields(Ex: reportObjectController.add( "{ IRS_REPORT_DETAILS.REPORT_ID}", "Report ID" );) it is giving me the following error: "com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKGroupException: The field was not found.---- Error code:-2147213310 Error code name:fieldNotFound" 
The following is my dynamic crystal report generation code: 
public ReportClientDocument execute(String repName, String query) {
 ReportClientDocument boReportClientDocument = null;
 try {
 boReportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
 boReportClientDocument.newDocument();
 // Add a table based on the given Resultset to the report.
 dbConnResultSet mySampleResultSet = new dbConnResultSet();
 //mySampleResultSet.execute(query);
 boReportClientDocument.getDatabaseController().addDataSource(
 mySampleResultSet.execute(query));
 IReportSource test = boReportClientDocument.getReportSource();
 // Access all the database fields
 DatabaseController databaseController = boReportClientDocument
 .getDatabaseController();
 IDatabase database = databaseController.getDatabase();
 Tables tables = database.getTables();
 ITable table = (Table) tables.getTable(0);
 int NO_OF_FIELDS = table.getDataFields().size();
 int LEFT_POSITION = 200;
 // Add all the database fields to the report document
 for (int i = 0; i < NO_OF_FIELDS; i++) {
 IField field = table.getDataFields().getField(i);
 FieldObject fieldObject = new FieldObject();
 fieldObject.setFieldValueType(field.getType());
 fieldObject.setDataSource(field.getFormulaForm());
 IReportObject rep = (IReportObject) fieldObject;
 IObjectFormat objformat = rep.getFormat();
 objformat.setEnableCanGrow(true);
 objformat.setHorizontalAlignment(Alignment.from_int(1));
 rep.setFormat(objformat);
 rep.setLeft(LEFT_POSITION);
 rep.setWidth(1000);
 LEFT_POSITION = LEFT_POSITION + 1000 + 50;
 ISection section = boReportClientDocument
 .getReportDefController().getReportDefinition()
 .getDetailArea().getSections().getSection(0);
 //***************** Data being added to the report here, But headings are not added*****************
 boReportClientDocument.getReportDefController()
 .getReportObjectController().add(rep, section, i);
 boReportClientDocument.createReport();
 /*Some report saving code is present down*/
 } catch (ReportSDKException ex) {
 ex.printStackTrace();
 } catch (Exception ex) {
 ex.printStackTrace();
 return boReportClientDocument;
 
appreciate your help.

IField field = table.getDataFields().getField(i);
Here you are getting the first field in the array. This may not be the field you want to add since we aren't sure how the arrays are ordered when retrieving fields from the report. It is better to retrieve the fields with the findObjectByName method, thus ensuring you are retrieving the field you want to add to your heading.

Passing single/multiple values to stored proc parameter from crystal report

I tried below solution posted on this forum to pass either a single value or multi-value to a sql server stored procedure parameter (varchar datatype) from crystal report XI R2.
In my crystal report , I am displaying all the available parameter values to the user and the user will select either a single value or multi value.
This worked when I select single value and when I say show sql query in my subreport I see the following:
{CALL "XYZ"."dbo"."storedprocedurename";1('Product 1')}
But this did not worked when I selected multiple values and when I say show sql query in my subreport I see the following:
{CALL "XYZ"."dbo"."storedprocedurename";1('Product 1,Product 2')}
I think it might work if it is as below:*
For multiple values:
{CALL "xyz"."dbo"."storedprocedurename";1('Product 1', 'Product 2')}
Please advise.
Solution Posted on this forum is as follows:
Hi,
As you must be aware of that a crystal report created of a stored procedure will allow only a single value for inserting a multiple value as a parameter in your report and pass those values to your stored procedure please follow the below work around which will be helpful for you.
Symptom
In Crystal Reports, you want to pass a multi-value parameter to a stored procedure. The problem with doing so is that Crystal Reports considers the multi-value parameter to be an array.
How can you pass a multi-value parameter to a stored procedure?
Resolution
Here are the steps to pass a multi-value parameter to a stored procedure:
1. Create a Crystal report, and add a multi-value parameter.
2. Since the multi-value parameter is treated as an array, create a formula that uses the JOIN function. Create a formula as below:
//Formula: @JoinFormula
Join ({?Multi-value parameter array},";")
====================
NOTE:
In the formula above, a semi-colon (";") is the delimiter.
====================
3. Within the main report, create a subreport based on the stored procedure, and include the parameter to be populated with the multi-value list.
4. Link the Join formula in the main report to the stored procedure parameter in the subreport.
Doing so passes a multi-value parameter to the stored procedure.
Regards,
Vinay

Hi Vinay,
First you need to make sure the stored procedure accepts multiple values in the fashion 'a','b','c'.
Then, create this formula in the Main Report:
numbervar i;
stringvar s;
for i:= 1 to ubound({?Parameter}) do
s := s + "'" + {?Parameter} + "'" + ",";
left(s,len(s)-1);
Link this formula to the sub-report's parameter.
Hope this helps!

Insert OLE Object at runtime in a report (Crystal report 2008)

Hello
I need insert a WORD document at runtime into Crystal report 2008.
Is it possible do it this using RAS SDK for .NET?
Thank you

Possible, but remember that only the 1st page of the word doc will be added - same as in the CR designer.
There is a number of sample apps at [this|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/samples?rid=/webcontent/uuid/80774579-b086-2b10-db91-ed58c4dda375] link. Add image sample may be good to look at.

Crystal report - how to split a field into more fields

Hello,
I`m new to Crystal reports and I`ve got a trouble. I have field which contains an address - street, city, zip code. The example is:
STEHLIKOVA 977 165 00 PRAHA 620 - SUCHDOL 165 00.
What I need to achieve is to split this string into three separated fields. I`ve trouhg a couple of forums but haven`t been able to find a proper answer. The problem is that the addresses differ so I can`t use an absolute defining of a start position. Looking at the DB (HEXA code) the parts in the string are divided by two dots:
STEHLIKOVA 977..165 00 PRAHA 620 - SUCHDOL..165 00
I`ve been able to work out this solution:
stringVar array x := split({cparty.STREET_ADD},"..");
Local numberVar i;
Local stringVar outputString := "";
For i:=1 to Count(x) do
outputString := outputString + x[i] + Chr(10)
outputString;
It splits the string into three rows:
STEHLIKOVA 977
165 00 PRAHA 620 - SUCHDOL
165 00
And I don`t know how to find the end of each row so to be able to separate the strings and report them as three different fields.
Would be anyone so kind and help me out with this?
Thank you.
Petr

Hi
Actually using a for loop is not necessary here. All you need to do is to add several formula fields: one for street, one for city and one for zipcode. In @street field you add formula:
stringVar array x := split({cparty.STREET_ADD},Chr(13));
x[1];
Then you drag such formula field to details section of your report and watch preview to check if everything looks alright. Repeat for every formula field that you'd like see in your report.
In @city you add almost identical formula but you change index, i. e. instead of x[1] you need to use x[2]. Then for @zip x[3].
You may need to check if your address has all three parts - for example if you want to use formula in the second part of your address field you may need check first if there are at least two parts after split:
stringVar array := split({cparty.STREET_ADD},Chr(13));
numbervar c;
c := count(x);
if 2 <= c then
x[c];
Var 'c' is used to store the number of elements in array after split. Then I'd like to check if the part (second) actually exists. So I try to check if number of part that I want to refer to is not bigger than the number of elements in array after split (here stored in var 'c').
Actually the code presented above is not enough since you have no guarantee that you'll always get address structured in the very same way. For example in demo PL database I have zip code and city in the same row after split with Chr(13) as delimiter.
You'll need to experiment or ask someone to prepare correctly structured data coming from B1 to your report.
Kind regards,
Radek

Crystal Report formula with datediff not working as expected

We need a Crystal Report formula to display the number of seconds the oldest arriving call has been waiting. Across multiple resources that can each have an "oldest call". The database stores a datetime value for the time the oldest call arrived. If there are no waiting calls, then this field is NULL. (MSSQL database). It seemed reasonable to implement this in a formula that 1) discovers the minimum of "oldest call" timestamps in the selected records, and 2) to use "datediff" to produce the difference (in seconds) between the "oldest call" timestamp and current time.
The first attempt at this relied on "implied" iteration that could be done within a formula. Something like:
data: OLDESTARRIVALTIME
 null
 '2014-06-14 08:08:08.000'
 null
 '2014-06-14 08:07:55.000'
 null
whilereadingrecords;
datetimevar minArrival;
if isNull({SVCCLASSMEASURES_VW.OLDESTARRIVALTIME}) = False
 and minArrival < {SVCCLASSMEASURES_VW.OLDESTARRIVALTIME} then
 minArrival := {SVCCLASSMEASURES_VW.OLDESTARRIVALTIME};
DateDiff("s", minArrival, {SVCCLASSMEASURES_VW.UTCDATE})
We tried storing the values of OLDESTARRIVALTIME in an array. We could see it iterating, but the values in the array only contained
the column value from the first record.
This was to solve the problem of screening null values and producing the minimum of the set.
Since that didn't work (and the web articles seemed to imply this would iterate over all the records, we tried another approach. This
time we set NULL timestamps in the table to a timestamp far in the future, so that we could directly apply "minimum" to produce
the correct "begin" for datediff.
data: OLDESTARRIVALTIME
 '2030-01-01 00:00:00.000'
 '2014-06-14 08:08:08.000'
 '2030-01-01 00:00:00.000'
 '2014-06-14 08:07:55.000'
 '2030-01-01 00:00:00.000'
datetimevar minArrival = minimum({SVCCLASSMEASURES_VW.OLDESTARRIVALTIME});
datetimevar minUTC = minimum({SVCCLASSMEASURES_VW.UTCDATE});
if minArrival < minUTC then
 DateDiff("s", minArrival, minUTC)
else
 0
(minUTC would be current time in UTC)
So, to start things off, the last formula produces negative numbers! They hover in negative seconds within a negative minute (-33, -45, etc.).
That's inconceivable, considering the test for minArrival < minUTC. Both of the fields are "datetime".
As it turns out, in the near term, it's most important to get the second formula working. And, of course, insights into getting the first
formula to work are welcome as well!
Have we run into some weird behavior of the "DateDiff" function?
Thanks!

If DateDiff is always returning a negative number you could try swapping the dates around in the call to DateDiff - it should look like this:
 DateDiff("s", minUTC, minArrival)
Or you could use the Absolute Value of the calculation:
 Abs(DateDiff("s", minUTC, minArrival) )
As for your first formula, you need to initialize the variable to a value prior to using it in the comparison. If you don't, its value is null and comparing it against a value won't work. (See What is Null and Why is it Important for Crystal Reports | SAP BI BLOG for a blog that I wrote about working with nulls in Crystal.)
You should change your existing formula to something like this:
whilereadingrecords;
datetimevar minArrival;
if OnFirstRecord then minArrival := DateTime(2013, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0);
if not isNull({SVCCLASSMEASURES_VW.OLDESTARRIVALTIME})
 and minArrival > {SVCCLASSMEASURES_VW.OLDESTARRIVALTIME} then
 minArrival := {SVCCLASSMEASURES_VW.OLDESTARRIVALTIME};
Note how I changed the If statement. Also, you want to replace minArrival with the field value if the field is less than the current value of minArrival - so you need to use ">" instead of "<" in the comparison. Place this formula in the details section. It will now show anything because of the semi-colon on the end. This will ensure that it gets evaluated for every record.
Now, create a second formula that looks like this:
whileReadingRecords;
datetimevar minArrival;
DateDiff("s", minArrival, {SVCCLASSMEASURES_VW.UTCDATE})
Place this formula in a footer section - it will not work in a header section. If you need it in a header section you might be able to take the "whilereadingrecords" off of both formulas and use the "Maximum()" summary function to get the correct value.

ComboBox control for Crystal Reports

Does anyone know if there are combobox style controls that can be used in crystal reports? We're using Business Objects XI R2 and Crystal Reports Developer XI to create the reports. Reports are delivered via Infoview.The reports we're creating in Crystal has account number as an input parameter/prompt for the report. Some of our releationships have few hundreds to 1000 accounts. So the usability of a normal HTML SELECT control degrades pretty fast. A combobox would allow the user to type in partial names and scroll to that particular value. E.g.: The search on Google Suggest <a href="http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en">http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en</a>Does WebElements have any control that can be used? Or are there 3rd party controls that are similar?Thanks

Hi,
I am looking for a Crystal Add-In to display a string that comes into my report as an array. I am using the Crystal JOIN function to get the elements, separate them by a comma and display them in a text object. This has worked well until I started working on a new report that returns many medication names as members of the array. Displaying them in the text box with "Can Grom" Checked has become quite messy, as this text box is in the Report Header section.
What I would like to do is display them as a ComboBox (or dropdown, if that is the same thing) with the first medication showing (say Aspirin) and then the user can click on the drop down and see the rest of the medications in the array (Tylenol, etc.)
This is display only data.
It seems like the Crystal Report Webelements might do the trick. I have some questions:
1 - Even though the link says you can incorporate web web controls onto your Crystal Report will this be visible from Crystal itself? The reason I ask is that we use a custom Report Viewer that basically renders on a web page what Crystal displays
2 - Do WebElements contain the ComboBox I am looking for?
Thanks,

Need to sum hh:mm:ss in crystal report using Running Total Fields

Hello,
I am new to .Net and crystal reports so please go easy on me.
I am trying to develop a crystal report using Visual Basic .NET. I have a column which displays the "Inbound Time" in "hh:mm:ss" format. I have to sum the total inbound time and display it.
I tried using the Running Total and i am not successful.
Here is the code which I am using in the Running total
WhilePrintingRecords;
if isNumeric({Report3;1.TotalInboundTime}) then
{Report3;1.TotalInboundTime}
else
CStr ({Report3;1.TotalInboundTime});
NumberVar array test2 := [ToNumber(left(CStr({Report3;1.TotalInboundTime}),2)),ToNumber(mid(Cstr({Report3;1.TotalInboundTime}),4,2)),ToNumber(right(Cstr({Report3;1.TotalInboundTime}),2))];
StringVar test1 := CStr( (ToNumber(test2[1])3600)+(ToNumber(test2[2])60)+(ToNumber(test2[3])));
InboundTime is the time field which is in "hh:mm:ss" format.

Hello Bharathi,
There are a couple of KBs about this. I haven't tested them myself, but you could give them a try:
[How sum multiple time fields in Crystal Reports|http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=c2008378]
[Creating a running total to show the difference between two datetime fields |http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=c2010261]

Regarding Crystal Reports 2008

Post Author: Swathi Godavarthy
CA Forum: Data Integration
Hi,
Right now we are using crystal reports X1 release2 with RDC. We are not using crystal rpeorts integration with .Net rather we are using activex viewer. We are integrating crystal reports with ASP (Active Server Pages). We have decided to upgrade the version from releaseX1 to crystal rpeorts 2008. Does 2008 support RDC? Please if anyone knows let me know.

Hi,
Here's what you need to do:
1) Create an array variable to accumulate the object 'C' when object 'D' = "T". The formula would be:
WhilePrintingRecords;
stringvar array C;
numbervar i;
if ({table2.D} = "T" and Not({table2.D} in C)) then
 redim preserve C;
 C := {table.C};
 i := i+1;
Place the above formula on the Details Section.
2) Create a new Report Footer b section. In the Report Footer a section, use this formula:
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar array C;
Join(C,",");
3) Insert a Subreport in the Report Footer b section with the same universe as the datasource
4) Right-click the Subreport and select 'Change Subreport Links' > Move the above formula in the 'Fields to link to' area and uncheck 'Select data in Subreport based on field'
5) In the Subreport create this new formula:
if {table1.B} in {?Pm-@name} then {table1.B} else "Others" //{?Pm-@name} is the name of the parameter that we linked from Main Report to Subreport
6) Create a group on the above formula
7) Insert a summary on the 'A' field. Go to Insert > Summary > Choose 'A' as the field to summarize, select Count as the operation and choose the summary location to be 'Group 1'.
This will show the Count of field A when table1.B in (select C from table2 where D = 'T').
You can then suppress all the other sections of the Main Report except the section that holds the Subreport.
The report will also show a group called "Others" that does not meet the condition. You can write a Group Selection formula to suppress this group:
Not(@formula_name = "Others")
Let me know how this goes!

Using Crystal Reports XI, Version 11.0.0.1994, "This field cannot be summarized." Message

Post Author: Caroline Richards
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I am currently working on a revenue report that has details with groupings for account, rate codes, and categories of rate codes.
Revenue for each account can be adjusted, and the adjustment is linked to the original revenue amount by an Accounts Receivable Transaction Number. The correct summary for higher groupings are affected when an adjustment is made to the same revenue amount (same AR Transaction Number) more than once. I have been able to calculate the correct revenue amount in a formula, leaving out the duplicated revenue when there's more than one adjustment on the revenue; however, when I try to summarize the calculated revenue amount in any way, I get a message stating: "This field cannot be summarized."
Is there a way around this so that I can use the calculated amount? Will an array work?

CA Forum: Formula
In CR, you cannot summarize on a summary field. Since the formula already has a summary function in it, you will not be able to summarize on the formula field.
Workaround would be to calculate summaries using a running total or another formula and thus avoid the summary using summary situation.

Crystal Reports data connection using Java beans

Hi
My name is Bach Ong, i'm currently perform re-configuring Crystal reports 2008 to connect via
Java bean to Jboss server, this uses look up service on JBoss server. The connection is using Connect
look up using the properties:
java.naming.provider.url=jnp://emgsydapp121:10499
java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces
for file CRConfig.xml i put as follows:
<JDBCURL></JDBCURL>
<JDBCClassName></JDBCClassName>
<JDBCUserName></JDBCUserName>
<JNDIURL>jnp://emgsydapp121:10499</JNDIURL>
<JNDIConnectionFactory>org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactor
y</JNDIConnectionFactory>
<JNDIInitContext>/</JNDIInitContext>
<JNDIUserName></JNDIUserName>
Can you advise us if this step is correct, and is there any
documentation that can guide us to right direction.
for Java testing in Eclipse using remote call class it is working suing the following code:
 Properties p = new Properties();
 p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
 "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
 p.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
 p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://emgsydapp121:10499");
 InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(p);
Date asAtDate = CrystalUtils.convertToDate("2014-01-01", CrystalUtils.relativeToToday(0), false);
 String asxCode = "BHP";
 ClosingPricesReportRequest criteria = new ClosingPricesReportRequest(asAtDate, asxCode);
 InitialContext context = new InitialContext(p);
 ClosingPricesReportService ejb = (ClosingPricesReportService) context.lookup(ClosingPricesReportService.REMOTE_JNDI);
 ClosingPricesReport report = ejb.createMTMClosingPriceReport(criteria);
 System.out.println(report.getClosingPrices()[0].getClosingPrice());
 testval = report.getClosingPrices()[0].getClosingPrice().toString();
 System.out.println(testval);
when i run the tes code the results as follow:

Can anyone assist me in convert the above settings to get access by Crystal reports.
My attemp current are below:
public class CFDClosingPricesRpt extends CrystalReport {
 //Constructor
 public CFDClosingPricesRpt(){
 super(ClosingPriceBean.INSTANCE);
 * Returns the ResultSet for this report to Crystal.
 * @param asxCode
 * @param asAtDateString
 * @return
public ResultSet getNewReport(String asxCode, String asAtDateString) {
 try {
 Properties p = new Properties();
 p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
 "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
 p.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
 p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://emgsydapp121:10499");
 //InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(p);
 clearCachedReportBeans();
 Date asAtDate = CrystalUtils.convertToDate("2013-01-01", CrystalUtils.relativeToToday(0), false);
 asxCode = "BHP";
 ClosingPricesReportRequest criteria = new ClosingPricesReportRequest(asAtDate, asxCode);
 //ClosingPricesReportService ejb = (ClosingPricesReportService) ctx.lookup(ClosingPricesReportService.REMOTE_JNDI);
 ClosingPricesReportService ejb = (ClosingPricesReportService) ServiceLocator.getInstance().getService(ClosingPricesReportService.REMOTE_JNDI);
 ClosingPricesReport report = ejb.createClosingPriceReport(criteria);
 // assemble Crystal-friendly DTO
 Collection closingPrices = Arrays.asList(report.getClosingPrices());
 for (Iterator iter = closingPrices.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
 MBLXClosingPrice cp = (MBLXClosingPrice) iter.next();
 if (cp==null) continue;
 addReportBean(new ClosingPriceBean( report.getSuppliedDate(),
 cp.getClosingPrice(),
 cp.getAsxCode()));
} catch (Throwable x) {
 saveErrorMessage(x);
return getAsResultSet();
Thanks

Hi Don Thanks for the reply.
I've was able to connect via Java beans and JNDI. But this one is going the JNDI of JBoss sever, which the JNDI already configure and working for Crystal reports v10.
