Formatting display value in LOV

I have an LOV whose display value is a concatenation of 2 database fields. That works fine. But I want to put a tab in between the
2 fields, otherwise the values are displayed one right after the other, and the columns are out of alignment from one row to the next.
In sqlplus, I can do:
select CHR(9)||to_char(objecttype_id)||CHR(9)||objecttype_name from hdb_objecttype;
And I get:
12 acoustic velocity meter
1 basin
11 canal
2 climate site
3 confluence
4 diversion
10 hydro plant unit
5 hydro power plant
6 reach
7 reservoir
14 riverware dataobject
When I do the same thing in my LOV query, I get
12 acoustic velocity meter
1 basin
11 canal
2 climate site
3 confluence
4 diversion
10 hydro plant unit
5 hydro power plant
6 reach
7 reservoir
14 riverware dataobject
I've tried lpad and rpad, also. With blanks as padding they produce the above results. If I use a character such as '.' they behave
correctly, but I still don't have standard field widths because of the variance in character sizes.
Why won't any of this formatting work, and how can I get it to?
Thanks,
Carol

Hi, Carol,
In addition to what Max said, you may be displaying this in a region where whitespace is compressed; in which case you would need to use non-breaking spaces in place of regular spaces:
SELECT     REPLACE ( RPAD ( TO_CHAR (objecttype_id)
                 , 10
                 ) || objecttype_name
           , CHR (38) || 'nbsp;'      -- CHR (38) is ampersand
...Speaking of compressing whitespace, this site does it.
So when you say

When you post formatted text (such as the results above) on this site, type these 6 characters:
(small letters only, inside curly brackets) before and after sections of formatted text, to preserve spacing.

Cannot display values in LOV when using oe_transaction_types in Web ADI Template in R12

Hi,
I use BNE_INTEGRATOR_UTILS.CREATE_TABLE_LOV to create a POPList by using the view oe_transaction_types, but there is no any data displayed in the order type column, while can use table oe_transaction_types_tl to create the POP List and display value.

Problem Displaying Value of LOV

I have a drop down on one of my edit screens that gives a list of Regions. On the screen the user can select the correct value and click Apply Changes and the database gets updated. The problem is that if I click to edit that record again it shows thate field as NULL. It will not display the value.
The data is correct in the database but I cannot see it on the edit screen. I have APEX 3.2

It's a pretty straight forward sql and the list of values does appear when creating the item.... but I have a read only condition on this field so it is read only once the record has been created as the user is not allowed to change the value on update. I just tried changing the Read Only "display item normally" and now it works. So looks like the issue is trying to make the field display/read only once the value is set.
one solution that comes to my mind is to have two fields on the page... the POP LOV display only when the P5_LE_LOC_ID is null, then have a read only text field that displays when P5_LE_LOC_ID is not null... but seems silly to have to do this
select facility || ' ' || fac_desc d, facility r
from XXC.XXC_GL_DIV_REG_FAC
where nvl(LOCATION_INACTIVE_DATE,to_date('01/01/1901','mm/dd/yyyy')) = to_date('01/01/1901','mm/dd/yyyy')
and fac_desc not like 'CLSD%'
and fac_desc not like 'CNXL%'
and fac_desc not like 'ACQ%'
and fac_desc not like 'HOLD%'
and fac_desc not like '%Remote'

LOV problem ... returning display-value and not key-value

Hi. Sorry for my broken English.
I have a problem with pop-up dynamic LOV.
I have a simple form called Form A containing item_code and item_name. Users can create, update and delete new item by using this form.
Another form called Form B has a field called item_code, and the item_code field is a dynamic pop-up LOV field and a query for this LOV is like this;
select item_name d, item_code r from item_master order by item_code;
When i create the new record in Form B and use LOV to find and get the item code, LOV works fine
and it returns key-value to the item_code field.
But when i try to update the record (I have a link from report page to Form B), value of the item_code field is not the key-value from LOV, but is a
display-value from LOV.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Well, from what you have described, this is working exactly as it should. Form B's LOV is intended to retrun the key value but should show the dispaly value. When you go from the report to the form, the key value is being passed (or should be depending on your code) and Form B ought to show the display value.
So, in short, I would say that Apex is doing what it should. Unless I misunderstand something.

How to get LOV column's DISPLAY value in IR report?

Hi,
I would like to get LOV column's DISPLAY value to trigger another javascript function. Could you please provide any hint?
For example, there is one IR report with 2 column, DEPT_NAME & SHOW.
The DEPT_NAME type is LOV .
The SHOW column is one link image, when clicking it , I would like to fire a javascript to get DEPT_NAME 's display value.
I know I can use #DEPT_NAME# to get the return value of LOV. However, how to get current row's DEPT_NAME's display value?
Thanks in advance.
Ray
Edited by: 最爱用中文 on 2013-4-11 下午4:14

Is there any way you can create a table join, instead of using LOV as your display type?
That way you can select the name of the department in your IR query, display it as text, and then easily reference it as #DEPARTMENT_NAME#, for example.

My lov results into the return value instead of the display value in APEX

Hi,
For 1 of the columns I'm representing in APEX, I choose 'Display as text, based on a lov'. I'm using:
select aan.id||', '||r.naam||', '||a.woonplaats d, aan.id r
from wmo_aanvragen aan
, wmo_dossiers d
, wmo_relaties r
, wmo_adressen a
where d.avg_1_id = aan.id
and d.rel_nummer = r.nummer
and a.rel_nummer = r.nummer
and a.id = (select min(e.id) from wmo_adressen e where e.REL_NUMMER = r.nummer
and e.EIND_DATUM is null)
and d.id = (select min(f.id) from wmo_dossiers f where f.AVG_1_ID = aan.id)
But somehow it displays the 'aan.id' value instead of the display value. Does anyone know howcome?? In TOAD it works fine
Niels
Edited by: user6394263 on 10-apr-2009 1:22

Hello Niels,
Your LOV Displays your concatenated value, but returns the "aan.id" (into the Form field), just as expected. If you want to show the description on your Form, use a PopUp LOV - Displays Description Return Key value

Accessing display values of a select list (or LOV)

Hi all,
I was asking myself if it is possible to access the display values of a select list (to be added to a report header and to the Head section of a pdf export),
and to call them in form of the &xxxxx. notation
e.g. if &P10_REGION. return the selected value (e.g. 1), I would like to have the corresponding display value (e.g. USA) .
Kind regards,
Boris

Thank you Graham,
unfortunately I'm a newbie regarding Javascript. Reading the APEX help, I could understand something but not everything.
I would enter into the page html body the following script
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById('P10_hiddenItem').value = document.getElementById('P10_referenceItem').text;
</script>
Is this the correct approach?
how should I then submit the page?
Thank you,
Boris

How to get actual value from LOV list

Like Subject says: How to get actual value from LOV list. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks Shay, I did it with bind variable because I'm not using JSF. Is there any chance to post solution using standard JSTL or HTML expression. I have something like this: LOV displays some Companies names:
<html:select property="UserJobCompanyId"
                         disabled="${!bindings[\'UserJobCompanyId\'].updateable}"
                         onchange="submitform();">
              <html:optionsCollection label="prompt" value="index" property="UserJobCompanyId.displayData"/>
            </html:select>and I want to get CompanyID of selected Company.
Thanks, again.

Change display value of "select list"

Hi!
I have a problem with a select list, I want to change the display value through an own pop up (page 5 of apex application) after I submit in it.
The select list is based on a sql query:
select A_NAME display_value, A_ID return_value
from APPLICATIONS
where a_application_type='GROUP'
order by 1
beside I have an link to open a pop up window:
... onClick="window.open ('f?p=&APP_ID.:5:&SESSION.::::', 'newWin',
'scrollbars=no,status=no,width=500,height=270' ...
On the pop up site there is a tree and a submit button which close the window and renew the original page:
javascript:window.opener.location.reload();window.close();
Through the tree I get the value (Group-ID) which I need.
When I'm back on page 4 a "before header" renew page process links again on the side 4 and change the value of my select list. Afterwards the values have changed correctly but the display value is still the old one. It only change when i go on an other page of the apex application and come back.
I don't know why it doesn't change immediately!?
Thanks ahead

I have done with a solution just in a nutshell of what u r looking for:
1.create HTML region.
Add two items : Select list with redirect(P6_X) and text field(P7_X)
2. Select list is based on LOV query as :
select empno d,empno r from emp ;
Source value is Empno Type:DBcolumn.
3.The text field Source type : SQL Query .
Query : select ename from emp where empno = :P6_X
Now select from the dropdown empno and it will populate the Ename value accordingly based on the query .
U can have more than one text fields and populate those in the same way.....
Cheers,
ROSY

Null display value in List of Values

Hello
In Page item ---> List of Value ---> Null display value I need to give a different value depending on language
I tried using an item in the "Null Display Value" e.g. &P1_Display_value.
This does not work ... I get " &P1_Display_value. " and not the value contained in the item
Anyone come across this before?
Thanks

The Query for the LOV could be modified to be something as below.
Select displayy_val, return_val from lov_table

What should i pass in HTML Form Element Attributes .I have try using
style="font-color:red";That code.
How can i display Display Value in Red Color.
Thanks

Is this what you are looking for?
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=42778:12
If so..
* Go to Shared Components -> Templates -> Select Type as "Popup List of Values"
* Edit Popup LOV template
* See the class name being used for div under Result Set section. In My case, its t1PopupBody
* Under Page Attributes -> Page HTML Head section append following CSS
<style>.t1PopupBody a{color:red;}</style>* Apply Changes
If its not working, then inspect the pop-up lov with firebug and update CSS definition accordingly.

How to display the "display values" in READ Only mode for a SHUTTLE

Hi,
I have a form item of type *'Shuttle'* and using the following LOV.
   select DEPTNAME d, DEPTNO r
    from DEPTIn normal mode..it displays the department name and internally store the Deptno..
Now I converted this item to Read Only mode using Read Only Condition Type
the problem is as soon as it becomes read only...it displays the deptno....not the department name
            Department-   10:20:30How can I display the "display values" i.e the actual department name in read only mode..
            Department-   Department1:Department2:Department3Thanks,
Deepak

Hi,
It seems feature. Shuttle is span tag when it is read only.
Work around could be that
you compute display as text item with LOV display value according shuttle session state and show shuttle and this item conditionally depend case

Is it possible to change the display value of a domain-based attribute?

Hello,
I've selected a domain-based attribute for one of the leaf member attributes in the same entity, aka parent id, since it's a self-referencing entity. However, I cannot find a way to display anything but the code value in the drop-down (see below).
Is there a way to change the display value so that I can choose the attribute from the entity from which I want the user to choose? In other words, I would like to display the hierarchy name instead of the code, which is really just the primary id.
Thanks in advance!
Ben Lezin

1. In the explorer page, settings dialog, you can change the display format to show only name.
2. We cannot use other freeform attribute as DisplayFormat, rather than Code Name. So there are 2 option here:
a. Remove HierarchyName attribute and just use Name attribute. In the next release, we will allow give Name, Code attribute a displayname, so you can give Name display name as "HierarchyName" in the SQL Vnext release.
b. Make a Business Rule to update Name when HierarchyName is changed.

Clearing the displayed value for a SELECT-OPTION

How do I clear the displayed value of a SELECT-OPTION?
I have 2 SELECT-OPTIONs on my screen (standard basic report program screen). I use code like this to populate the drop-down boxes for each one.
=====
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR s_prgrp-low.
PERFORM fill_prgrp_values.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR s_prctr-low.
PERFORM fill_prctr_values.
=====
The value the user picks for the first SELECT-OPTION will affect what values I put in the drop-down list for the second SELECT-OPTION.
If a user enters a value for the second SELECT-OPTION, and then goes back and changes the value of the first SELECT-OPTION, then I want to do two things:
1. Create a new set of values for the drop-down list for the second SELECT-OPTION (no problem; working fine);
2. Clear the displayed value from the second SELECT-OPTION that the user entered previously. That value became invalid when the user picked a new value for the first SELECT-OPTION.
How do I clear that second displayed value?
I have tried CLEAR and REFRESH for the second variable using the formats s_prctr, s_prctr[], and s_prctr-low. They will erase the values of the internal table or part(s) of it, but the displayed value stays on the screen.
I need to clear out the displayed value so the user will either leave it blank or enter or select a new value.
I am using F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST to build the drop-down lists, and it works fine, but I do not see any function module to clear the displayed value off the screen.
Thanks for your help.

Sorry, but calling DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE did not work. This is how I coded it.
fld_reset_rcd-fieldname = 'S_PRCTR'.
fld_reset_rcd-stepl      = sy-stepl.
CLEAR fld_reset_rcd-fieldvalue.      " re-initialize s_prctr
CLEAR fld_reset_rcd-fieldinp.        " what goes in here?
APPEND fld_reset_rcd TO fld_reset_tbl.
CALL FUNCTION 'DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE'
    EXPORTING
      dyname = 'ZFI_GL_BALANCE_NGL'
      dynumb = '1000'
    TABLES
      dynpfields = fld_reset_tbl
<Added code tags>
I have discovered that CLEAR and REFRESH of s_prctr will clear it somewhat. If I enter multiple values, ranges, etc., they will all be cleared, EXCEPT for the one single value that is displayed on the main screen. It is not cleared and it remains if you push the button to display the pop-up to enter ranges, etc.
To devrath.sampat -- Thanks for your example for building the drop-down list, but that is not the problem I am having. I am already able to build it just fine.
To repeat my problem, if I:
1. first enter / select a value for the first SELECT-OPTION s_prgrp
2. then enter / select a value for the second SELECT-OPTION s_prctr
3. And finally go back and select a new value of the first SELECT-OPTION s_prgrp from its drop-down list,
     when I do, the program needs to clear the value displayed on the main screen for the second SELECT-OPTION s_prctr (any additional values, ranges, etc., are cleared by CLEAR and REFRESH, if I go look; but not the value shown on the main screen).
