How to set the where clause of a value set on the basis of a form field

I am using a DFF(Descriptive FlexField), which needs to display the value of a certain column(say columnA) on the basis of the value of another column(say columnB).
So i have created a value set which points to the table which has both these columns, and the DFF uses this value set. However, the problem is that I have not put any where clause in the value set, because of which i cannot handle the exact fetch returns more than one rows error.
The query has to be as follows:
select ColumnA from tbl where ColumnB = [ a form value ];
What I want to know is how can i get the value of a certain field of a certain block of the form in the above query.

Just have a look over these two statements if it solves your problem
one time where clause
Set_Block_Property('BLOCK_NAME',ONETIME_WHERE,your form item);
dynamic where clause
set_block_property('BLOCK_NAME'default_where, your form itme)
you can where clause at run time from any procedure or some triggers

How to retrieve the 'Where Clause' text?

Hello all,
I have created a package to retrieve all the DML's executed against the database for the day, for a particular user. DBMS_LOGMNR package was used to retrieve DMLs. But the DMLs retrieved have their 'WHERE' clause text converted to ROWID's. I need to find out the 'WHERE' clause with the parameters.
I tried retrieving values from the v$sql views, but that information is cryptic and very volatile.
Is there a way to retrieve the 'Where' clause? If not, is there a way to retrieve the 'WHERE' clause information using a trigger against the corresponding table.
I am desparately lookin'for a solution. Hope someone out there can help me out.
Regards,
Prabu Raghav.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the suggestion.
I am using Oracle 8i not 9i.FGA using DBMS_RLS let's me add policies and retrieve all other information about a user except the SQL statement that's executed by the user.
I want to retrieve the Current sql statement executed against the table by a particular user and record it.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Prabu Raghav.

Using if logic in the where clause of a select statement

I have a select clause. And in the select clause there is a variable all_off_trt that can be 'Y' or 'N'.
In the where clause I want to make it so that if a form variable is checked and all_off_trt is 'Y' then
exclude it else if the form variable isn't checked then select it no matter what all_off_trt is.
Is there any way to include either and if statement or a case statement within the where clause to acheive this? If not is there another way of doing it?
Basically I am looking for a case statement like this
case
when all_off_trt = 'Y' and mail_para.code = 'Y' then false
else true
end

Ok, so that really doesn't solve my problem. I have 3 different fields that I need to do that with. Each combining in a select statement to print an email list, as well as other thing limiting the where clause.
This is currently what I have, tested and working 100%.
cursor email_cur is
select unique p.email,s.all_off_trt,s.all_deceased,s.no_enroll
from participant p, trialcom t, ethics s
where p.status='A'
and p.surname=t.surname
and p.initials=t.initials
and s.trial_cd = t.tricom
and s.centre = t.centre
and p.email is not null
and (t.centre in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='CENTRE')
or 'XX' in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='CENTRE'))
and (t.tricom in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='TRIAL')
or 'XX' in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='TRIAL'))
and (t.role in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='ROLE')
or 'XX' in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='ROLE'))
and (p.country in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='COUNTRY')
or 'XX' in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='COUNTRY'))
and (t.represent in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='REPRESENT')
or 'XX' in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='REPRESENT'));
This is in a program unit that runs when a button is clicked. At the end of that I need to add on the 3 case statements that help further narrow down the selection of emails to be printed. Then it prints the emails selected from this statement into a file. So it has to be done right in the select statement. The three table variables are the all_off_trt, all_deceased, and no_enroll. The form has 3 checkboxes. One for each, that when checked (giving the variable associated with the checkboxes a value of 'Y') excludes all emails that have a 'Y' in the coresponding table variable.

Case or Decode in the Where clause

Dear all,
My requirement is:
If user select other then "ALL"option from the LOV the following condition should be part of the where clause.
current_req_status = :block1.req_statusIf user select "ALL" from the lov no need to append the above condition in the where clause.
Please give me the sample code
select request_id,doc_name,doc_code,part_id,current_req_status from test_table
where req_type = 'I'
and doc_code = :BLOCK1.doc_code
and -- Here is the condition is changed based on
        the :BLOCK1.req_status(LOV).
     -- If user select other then "All" option from
        this LOV the query append the below condition
        current_req_status = :block1.req_status
      -- Else no need append the above condition
         in the query where clause.Edited by: roots on Apr 10, 2012 9:31 AM

Hi InoL,
In the database column not having "ALL" value inside. so the match does not return any values.
My LOV has "A1,A2,A3,A4,....ALL" . the database column having "A1,A2,A3,A4.......". here no "ALL" value.
So if user select "ALL" option from this LOV, that means select all vaules from the database (A1,A2,A3,A4......)..
If user select A1 from the lov the select query include only the matched
column values.from example,
select....
where nvl(database_column,'X')= nvl(:Block1.LOV_value)If user select "ALL" option then no need for above condition in the where clause so that query returns all the rows from the database column.
hope I've clearly explain my requirement.
Thanks lot,
Roots.

JSP, DataWebBean: How to dynamically set the where clause of query and display record

Hi,
I am reposting this question as per suggestions made by Mr. Dwight.
I have used ViewCurrentRecord web bean to display records from EMP table. I have to use the Dept_Id_FK from the current
record of the EMP table to display corresponding records of Dept table. I have a view object called DeptView in my Business
Components which selects all the records from the Dept table.
How do I get the value of Dept_Id_FK and use it to display the required records of the Dept table?
I tried to declare a variable and get the value of Dept_Id_FK but it did not work. My code is as follows:
<%! String m_DeptId = null; %>
<jsp:useBean id="RowViewer" class="oracle.jbo.html.databeans.ViewCurrentRecord" scope="request">
<%
RowViewer.initialize(pageContext, "EMPApp_EMP_EMPAppModule.EMPView1");
RowViewer.setReleaseApplicationResources(false);
RowViewer.getRowSet().next();
m_DeptId = (String)RowViewer.getRowSet().getCurrentRow().getAttribute("DeptIdFk");
%>
</jsp:useBean>
Thanks.

First of all, Thank you very much for making use of the new topic format. It is very much appreciated.
As for your question, I think there are several different ways to accomplish what I think you want to do.
1. Create a view object that includes both Emp and Dept entities and join them there. In this case, your query would look something like this:
Select e.empno,e.name,...,d.dname,d.loc from emp e, dept d
where e.deptno = d.deptno
You should be able to create a JSP off of this view object that contains both the employee and department information. In this case, BC4J takes care of the foreign key to primary key coordination.
2. In order to set a dynamic where clause for a view, you need to do the following in your usebean tag:
rsn.initialize(application,session, request,response,out,"DeptView");
rsn.getRowSet().getViewObject().setWhereClause("deptno=" | | m_DeptId);
rsn.getRowSet().getViewObject().executeQuery();
rsn.getRowSet().first();
You will need to do this in a separate usebean tag from the EmpView, since the usebean can only initialize one view object.
In other words, you would have your ViewCurrentRecord bean tag for the EmpView, then a separate one for the DeptView where you use the above code to set the where clause to display just the information for the department you want.
Another option, but one I'm not sure would work as well, is to create a master-detail JSP to do this for you. Usually a master-detail is a one-to-many (one department to many employees). Your request appears to be the reverse, but might still be doable using the same mechanism.
You set up relationships between views in your BC4J project using View Links. If you used the BC4J project wizard and created default views, some of these links may have been created for you. They are created when BC4J detects a foreign key to primary key relationship in the database.
You can create your own View Links using the View Link wizard. Select your BC4J project node and choose Create View Link... from the context menu. You will be asked to select a source view (Emp), and a target view (Dept), then select the attribute in each view that related the two of them (deptno).
Next, you need to reflect this new relationship setting in your application module. Select your app module and choose Edit from the context menu. On the data model page, select the EmpView node in the Selected list. Now select the DeptView node in the available list and shuttle it over. You should see DeptView1 via yourlink appear indented under the EmpView node. Save and rebuild your BC4J project to reflect the changes.
In your JSP project, you can now have the wizard create a master-detail form for you based on DeptView1.
Let me know if the above answers your question, or if I have misunderstood what it is you wanted to do.

Re: [iPlanet-JATO] How to make an OR in the WHERE clause of a SELECT

Harry,
If you get a reference to your model, you can set the
whereClauseOverride with exactly the string you want to use. Keep in
mind that you are dealing with a the raw SQL where clause, therefore,
you must use the actual table column names and not the model's logical
field names as they could be different.
QueryModelBase queryModel = (QueryModelBase)getModel(PersonModel.class);
// you must add the "WHERE" as well
String whereClause = "WHERE firstName LIKE '%max' OR lastName LIKE '%max%'";
queryModel.setWhereClauseOverride(whereClause);
Keep in mind that this will override all where criteria: static and
dynamic where criteria. Static criteria can be declared in your model
class: setStaticWhereCriteriaString(STATIC_WHERE_CRITERIA).
You could optionally get the entire SQL statement and replace the
__WHERE__ token yourself with a string replace technique. In fact, if
you want to add an ORDER BY, you will need to get the SQL and append to
the end.
queryModel.getSelectSQL();
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions

Rewritten your query wuth tags as well

        "P_CIRCUITS_FIBER"."PORTS_2",
        CASE WHEN CPORT.ID = (select REGEXP_SUBSTR(ports_1,'[^,]+',1,1) from p_circuits_fiber)
             THEN "CPORT"."PORT_NO" END PORT_NO_1,
        CASE WHEN CPORT.ID = (select REGEXP_SUBSTR(ports_2,'[^,]+',1,1) from p_circuits_fiber)
             THEN "CPORT"."PORT_NO" END PORT_NO_2
from    "CPORT",
        "P_CIRCUITS_FIBER"
where   p_circuits_fiber.fiber_id = :P4000_CIRCUIT_NO
and     (select REGEXP_SUBSTR(ports_1,'[^,]+',1,1) from p_circuits_fiber) = "CPORT"."PORT_NO" "PORT_NO_1"
and     (select REGEXP_SUBSTR(ports_2,'[^,]+',1,1) from p_circuits_fiber) = "CPORT"."PORT_NO" "PORT_NO_2"{code}
Now we can see two columns references which should not be there.
I even not sure to understand why those two conditions are in the WHERE clause. But for sure, CPORT.ID cannot be equal to two values unless they are same.
Is there only one row in p_circuits_fiber ?

How to change recordset bahaviour to accept dynamic column names in the where clause

Hi
im using php-mysql and i make a recordset and i want to make the column names in the where clause to be dynamic like
"select id,name from mytable where $tablename-$myvar";
but when i do this my i break the recordset and it disappear
and when i use variables from advanced recordset it only dynamic for the value of the column not for the column name
and when i write the column name to dynamic as above by hand it truns a red exclamation mark on the server behaviour panel
so i think the only way is to change the recordset behaviour is it? if so How to make it accept dynamic column names?
thanks in advance.

As bregent has already explained to you, customizing the recordset code will result in Dreamweaver no longer recognizing the server behavior. This isn't a problem, but it does mean that you need to lay out your dynamic text with the Bindings panel before making any changes. Once you have changed the recordset code, the Bindings panel will no longer recognize the recordset fields.
Using a variable to choose a column name is quite simple, but you need to take some security measures to ensure that the value passed through the query string isn't attempting SQL injection. An effective way of doing this is to create an array of acceptable column names, and check that the value matches.
// create array of acceptable values
$valid = array('column_name1', 'column_name2', 'column_name3');
// if the query string contains an acceptable column name, use it
if (isset($_GET['colname']) && in_array($_GET['colname'], $valid)) {
$col = $GET['colname'];
} else {
// set a default value if the submitted one was invalid
$col = 'column_name1'
You can then use $col directly in the SQL query.

JSP, Data Web Bean, BC4J: Setting the where clause of a View Object at run time

Hi,
I am trying to develop a data web bean in which the where clause of a View Object will be set at run time and the results of the query then displayed.
My BC4J components are located in one project while the coding for the data web bean is in another project. I used the following code bu t it does not work. Could you please let me know what I am doing wrong?
public void populateOSTable(int P_EmpId)
String m_whereString = "EmpView.EMP_ID = " + P_EmpId;
String m_OrderBy = "EmpView.EMP_NAME";
oracle.jbo.ApplicationModule appModule = null;
ViewObject vo = appModule.findApplicationModule("EMPBC.EMPAppModule").findViewObject("EMPBC.EMPView");
vo.setWhereClause(m_whereString);
vo.setOrderByClause(m_OrderBy);
vo.executeQuery();
vo.next();
String empName numAttrs = vo.getAttribute(EmpName);
System.out.println(empName);

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by JDev Team (Laura):
Here is how I have usually done mine:
1. In the JSP, use a RowsetNavigator bean to set the where clause and execute the query.
2. Use a custom web bean to process the results of the query (print to HTML).
for example:
<jsp:useBean class="oracle.jbo.html.databeans.RowsetNavigator" id="rsn" scope="request" >
<%
// get the parameter from the find form
String p = request.getParameter("p");
String s = request.getParameter("s");
// store the information for reference later
session.putValue("p", p);
session.putValue("s", s);
// initialize the app module and view object
rsn.initialize(application,session, request,response,out,"wt_bc_WT_bcModule.wtjoinView");
// set the where clause string
String theclause = "presname = '" + p + "' AND slideno=" + s;
// set the where clause for the VO
rsn.getRowSet().getViewObject().setWhereClause(theclause);
rsn.getRowSet().getViewObject().executeQuery();
rsn.getRowSet().first();
%>
</jsp:useBean>
<jsp:useBean class="wt_bc.walkthruBean" id="wtb" scope="request" >
<%
// initialize the app module and VO
wtb.initialize(application,session, request,response,out,"wt_bc_WT_bcModule.wtjoinView");
wtb.render();
%>
In this case, the render method of my custom web bean mostly gets some session variables, and prints various content depending on the session variable values.
Hope this helps.

How to set dynamic where clause in ADF?

Hi,
I have a View object called BillInfoVO. This has
all the information about who created the request, the time , status etc.,
I need to display this VO in a jsp. But before I display, i need to fileter this
VO results with different where clauses according to the role of the user.
For example, if the role is admin, then
where clause should be 'status = 'Completed, and created by = 'Current user'
If the role is requestor, then
the where clause should be
sales manager id = 'Current user' and
Status != Complete etc.,
Could any one please let me know how I can
dynamically set the where clause to filter the appropirate
result row set in the jsp?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
venki

You'll create a service method in your AM that will use the setWhereClause method of a viewobject.
Then you'll expose it as a client method.
Then you'll drag it from your data-control onto a button in your JSF page that will call your page for the query.
More about service methods here:

How do I modify the WHERE clause in my SQL query?

This seems like such a straight-forward part of the report design, but I'm fairly new to Crystal Reports and I only have experience with modifying reports someone else has already written. In this particular case, I just need to modify the WHERE clause of the SQL query. I can select Show SQL Query and see what statement is being used to select data, but I can't find where to modify it since it's grayed out. I see how to change the selection criteria, parameters, grouping, etc...just not the WHERE clause. The report is linked to a database used for reporting with a table created and populated by a stored procedure. I don't need to modify the stored procedure because the data I want to filter by is currently in the table--I just don't know how to filter by what I need. Here's part of the query:
SELECT "rpt_dist"."startdate", "rpt_dist"."transtype", "rpt_dist"."laborcode", "rpt_dist"."crewid", "rpt_dist"."regularhrs" FROM "Reporting"."dbo"."rpt_dist" "rpt_dist"
WHERE (rpt_dist."transtype" <> 'WORK' AND rpt_dist."transtype" <> 'WMATL') AND rpt_dist."laborcode" LIKE 'S%' AND (rpt_dist."crewid" = 'HOUS' OR rpt_dist."crewid" = 'HOUS2' ...
I would like to add another crewid to the WHERE clause. Thanks for any input.

1.Open the report in the crystal designer
2.Go to the field explorer(if hidden go to view menu->field explorer)
3.Rt. click on the database fields->choose database expert
4.Now you will see 2 columns-Available DataSource and Selected Tables
5.Rt. click on the object(ex.command) available in the Selected Tables column->Choose Edit command
6.A new Modify Command window will appear,here you can edit your SQL Query
I get to step 4 and I see the two columns including my database and the report table, but there is no command object available. If I right-click on my table, I can just view the Properties. ??
As for the other tip to modify the record selection: I don't see anywhere the other crewid values are set and if I add the one I'm missing, it doesn't modify the existing SQL Query and when I preview the report it throws off the results so that no data displays??
I'm using Crystal Reports 11.5 if that makes a difference. Thanks again.

How to set dynamic WHERE clause to VO from backingBean?

Hi,
Can any one let me know the best way to add the dynamic WHERE clause in to VO query.
I have created AM (with AMImpl.java) & VO (with VOImpl.java & VORowImpl.java) in my model project. I suppose to set the WHERE condition at runtime while the user click the search button. I am handling the user button click at UI layer backingBean. From the backing bean I could able to get the objct of the VO and set the where clause by below code.
        ValueExpression valueExp = elFactory.createValueExpression(elContext, "#{bindings.UserSearchVO1Iterator}", Object.class);
        DCIteratorBinding dcIter = (DCIteratorBinding)valueExp.getValue(elContext);
        ViewObject userSearchVO = dcIter.getViewObject();
        userSearchVO.setWhereClause("lower(usr_login) LIKE ':1' and usr_udf_suid like ':2' ");
        userSearchVO.executeQuery();But as I fear this is not the right way to do it. So I am creating the cutom method inside the VOImpl.java and triggring that method by creating one more cutom method in AMImpl.java. But I dont know how to invoke this AM method from backingBean.
AMImpl method
public void initDetails()
        UserSearchVOImpl vo = getUserSearchVO1();
        vo.initQuery();
VOImpl method
    public void initQuery()
        setWhereClause("lower(usr_login) LIKE 'a%' and usr_udf_suid like '%1144%'");
        executeQuery();
    }Can any one guide me which is the best way to set the where clause to VO? How to call the AM method from backingBean?
Thanks

Not able to set the where clause params

Hi,
My version of apps is 12.1.3.
I created a page with a searchRN and resultRN (LinesVO). (Not a query/view link) . I am passing the id from header to the VO to restrict the linesVO
The controller correctly passes the id from searchRN to AM, but in AM, the where clause is not set and I am not getting the desired result:
My AM Code:
    public void InvokeGo(String Hdrval)
                LineVOImpl LineVO1 = getLineVO1();
                LineVO1.setWhereClauseParams(null); // Always reset
                 System.out.println("AMIMPL:Hdrval = "+ Hdrval);
                <prints the header_Value which is passed from CO>
                   if (Hdrval           == null
                                        System.out.println("Inside Null If");
                                        String message = "Please provide atleast one input to any of these search field";
                                        throw new OAException(message, OAException.ERROR);
                                else
                                    System.out.println("Not All Parameters are Null.Building Where Clause");
                                     < prints the line above>
                                    LineVO1.setWhereClause
                                    ("Header_name = :1");
                    System.out.println("Paremeter Set are: Header_name:"+Hdrval);
                    <prints the above line like :   Paremeter Set are: Header_name:Hdr_Name_1
                    LineVO1.setWhereClauseParam(0,Hdrval);
                    System.out.println("Inside MainAM invokeGO Method:"+LineVO1.getQuery());
                    < prints:Inside MainAM invokeGO Method:SELECT * FROM (select LINE_ID,hdr.HEADER_ID,LINE_NUMBER,LINE_NAME,Attach,hdr.header_name from xxtr_hdr hdr, xxtr_line line
where hdr.header_id=line.header_id) QRSLT WHERE (Header_name = :1)>
                    LineVO1.executeQuery();
The issue is in the SQL build. I guess after setting the where clause, it should appear like :
QRSLT WHERE (Header_name = "Hdr_Name_1"
Thanks

Hu Sumit,
I am doing that:
LineVO1.setWhereClauseParam(0,Hdrval);
before executequery. I even hard coded
LineVO1.setWhereClauseParam(0,"XXXX");
but still it din't work. I guess I am missing something small. because I have done this thing a lot of times earlier and it had worked.

to include things like searching multiple columns and IF NULL:
SELECT * from MyTable where (MyCol1 = %s or MyCol1 Is Null) AND (MyCol2 = %s or MyCol2 Is Null)
Where on earth does it go?
Thanks

My goal is to have a search form and results combination that:
1) allows the user to ignore any of the page’s existing search fields that
they don’t need, (to search with empty form fields);
2) to use whichever search form fields they choose to use even if the
Registrant for whom they are searching did not insert that information when
they registered, (they are filled in the search form but empty in the
database table);
3) and to permit some of the seach fields to search multiple columns, for
example the search form field ‘sonsName’ would look for that information in
three different database table colums, (sonsName1, sonsName2 etc.).
You’ve given me code that permits 1) above to work beautifully. You’ve also
sent along code that should let me accomplish the other two, and though I’ve
been able to recreate below what I want the multiple search column to do, I
can get neither the multiple column nor the IS NULL sections to work in the
code you sent most recently.
How do I take something like this:
$colname_rsSearch = "-1";
if (isset($_POST['first_name_now'])) {
$colname_rsSearch = $_POST['first_name_now'];
$colname2_rsSearch = "-1";
if (isset($_POST['last_name_now'])) {
$colname2_rsSearch = $_POST['last_name_now'];
$colname3_rsSearch = "-1";
if (isset($_POST['sonsName'])) {
$colname3_rsSearch = $_POST['sonsName'];
mysql_select_db($database_connStr_Milo_db, $connStr_Milo_db);
$query_rsSearch = sprintf("SELECT milo.first_name_now, milo.last_name_now,
milo.ws_number, milo.ws_number_3, milo.ws_number_4 FROM milo WHERE
milo.first_name_now = %s AND milo.last_name_now = %s AND (milo.sonsName1 =
%s) || (milo.sonsName2 = %s) || (milo.sonsName3 = %s)",
GetSQLValueString($colname_rsSearch,
"text"),GetSQLValueString($colname2_rsSearch,
"text"),GetSQLValueString($colname3_rsSearch,
"text"),GetSQLValueString($colname3_rsSearch,
"text"),GetSQLValueString($colname3_rsSearch, "text"));
$rsSearch = mysql_query($query_rsSearch, $connStr_Milo_db) or
die(mysql_error());
$row_rsSearch = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsSearch);
$totalRows_rsSearch = mysql_num_rows($rsSearch);
?> (I’ve excluded the IS NULL part from my example, but need it in the final
version)
…and make it work using your code below (which permits someone to search
with empty form fields, but does not yet enlighten me on what to group (with
parenthesis) to make the code execute the multiple column search and the IS
NULL parts of the search.
mysql_select_db($database_connStr_Milo_db, $connStr_Milo_db);
$expected = array('first_name_now', 'last_name_now', sonsName'
$query_search = 'SELECT milo.first_name_now, milo.last_name_now,
milo.ws_number, milo.ws_number_3, milo.ws_number_4 FROM milo';
$where = false;
foreach ($expected as $var) {
if (isset($_POST[$var]) && !empty($_POST[$var])) {
    if ($where) {
      $query_search .= ' AND ';
    } else {
      $query_search .= ' WHERE ';
      $where = true;
$query_search .= '(' . $var . ' = '. GetSQLValueString($_POST[$var],
'text') .
' OR ' . $var . ' IS NULL)';
$search = mysql_query($query_search, $connStr_Milo_db) or
die(mysql_error());
$row_search = mysql_fetch_assoc($search);
$totalRows_search = mysql_num_rows($search);
As always, thank you.

How to construct the where clause for a nested xml target file

Post Author: jlpete72
CA Forum: Data Integration
I'm having some problems getting the desired results creating a multi-level nested xml file. Specifically, it does not seem that the where clause in the child schemas respects values from parent schemas. I'm sure I'm constructing something incorrectly, but am running out of ideas.
I am working with the classic company/order/line hierarchy and there are three levels of output schemas in my target xml file, one for company, order header and order line information.
For testing, I have hardcoded a restriction at the order header line to deal with only one order. But unless I hardcode values into the where clause at the order line level of the schema, all values are returned for orders belonging to the company defined in the company level.
I'm trying a where clause at the order line level similar to:
order_line.customer = order_header.customer and order_line.order_num = order_header.order_num
If the customer has more than one order in the data file, then all orders for that customer are placed in the detail for the order header. Only if I hard code the order number in the where clause do I get only the lines for the order specified in the header section. Not very practical.
What am I missing?

An External Parsed Entity could be used to reference a schema.
In your DTD:
<!ENTITY datamodules SYSTEM "file:///c:/Datamodules/Datamodules.xsd">
Refer the external entity in xml document:
<datamodules>&datamodules;</datamodules>
