Popup List works bad in multirecord report

This is an strage behaviour:
If I use a popuplist in a report that can be modified, it shows correctly the Description I want to show, but when I select one choice, it returns Code instead of Description into the text box.
My query is very simple:
select dsmuni , idmuni
from int_localidad
order by 1
Please, any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
David.

Hi David,
Ok, now I know what you mean... unfortunately that is the way it works! As you said, kind of useless really. What is the point of displaying the key value which usually is meaningless for the user when what you need to display is the description associated with that key value?
That is why I rarely use tabular forms, and when I have to, I never use pop up LOVs with them. I try to use select lists instead (if possible) or simply add an "Edit" icon and use a normal form (in the same page or in a separate page) to edit the record.
There are workarounds though, I don't remember any from the top of my head but you can search the forum for them...
Good luck!
Luis

Steve, "Simple JSF Popup List of Values Page " does not work..

Hi Steve,
I read "Not Yet Documented ADF Sample Applications" #80 : "Simple JSF Popup List of Values Page " and download SimpleADFBCLOVJSF.zip, but when I try to run the sample, I get this error :
JBO-33001: Cannot find the configuration file /xxx/common/bc4j.xcfg in the classpath
What is wrong ?
Thank you,
xtanto

Thanks for reporting this. I've uploaded a newer version of the zip file that fixes this issue.
It was due to a last-minute refactoring of my model project from having the application module living in a package named "xxx" to another package named "example.model"

Using multiple LOV popups in a multi-row updatable report but save to 1 col

Hi,
I'm trying to generate a multirow updatable report, which has only 1 writeable column. There is a read-only column that indicates the type of value that the writeable column should contain (it's a varchar2). The second column will be a LOV popup.
I can create the report by setting the 2nd column to a LOV and it's fine, however I really want the LOV to be different, depending upon the value of the first column for the row.
For example, if the first column is "list" then I want the popup to show all my "lists"
If the first column is "role" then I want to the popup to show all my "roles".
There will be a mixture of values within the entire rowset.
I've so far managed to use a case statement to generate different LOV popups, which are displayed as required but the returned data isn't written back to the correct field.
If I use the same p_idx value then there is only one javascript function created and it always stores the data in the first rows column.
If I use unique p_idx values, then it works better but selecting a value for the 2nd row will store it there but also overwrite the 1st rows value as well.
My SQL for the report currently looks like this (cut down for clarity)
SELECT RULACTPRMIDD, /* PK */
CASE PRMNME /* type */
WHEN 'list' THEN
APEX_ITEM.POPUPKEY_FROM_QUERY(2,rulactprmval,
'SELECT LSTNME r, LSTNME d FROM LSTLST', 0)
WHEN 'role' THEN
APEX_ITEM.POPUPKEY_FROM_QUERY(2,rulactprmval,
'SELECT ROLNME r, ROLNME d FROM PDRROL', 0)
END dynamic_popup
FROM CPNRULACTPRM
I can't think of an example where i've seen this done within the Apex development environment otherwise I would refer you to that.
An alternative option would be to pass the type of value required to the same LOV and then get the LOV query to only show the appropriate values - i'll look into this as a workaround option.
thanks

User478832,
I didn't look thru all the code but I have a feeling your problem is the 9th line in the On Demand process. (the 9th line in this post anyway)...
htp.prn('<option value="' || rec.cpc_name|| '">' || rec.cpc_name|| '</option>');
You modified your query to get a different column but your returning the same column later: rec.cpc_name x2
I assume you want to display NAME and return ID so change it like this...
htp.prn('<option value="' || rec.cpc_id || '">' || rec.cpc_name|| '</option>');
Let me know if that helps...

Web.Show_Document does not work with long running reports

I am using Web.Show_Document() to call reports from Forms. Everything works fine for smaller reports. However for long running reports I do not get the output instead get the page "This page cannot be displayed.". On checking the job status on the report server I find that report is still running and completes after some time but by that time my http request has already timed out. What configuration do I have to change to make my long running reports work.
Thanks

So, looks like this is an IE issue. I need to add the form server site to my list of Trusted Sites. Once I did that, everything started to work fine. Thought I'd share in case anyone is really interested.....

Why Dynamic Parameter is not working, when i create report using stored procedure ?

Post Author: Shashi Kant
CA Forum: General
Hi all
Why Dynamic Parameter is not working, when i create report XI using stored procedure ?
Only i shaw those parameters which i used in my stored procedure, the parameter which i create dynamic using stored procedure
is not shown to me when i referesh the report for viewing the results.
I have used the same procedure which i mention below but can not seen the last screen which is shown in this .
============================================================================================
1. Select View > Field Explorer2. Right-click on Parameter Fields and select New from the right-click menu.3. Enter u201CCustomer Nameu201D as the name for your parameter4. Under u201CList of Valuesu201D select u201CDynamicu201D5. Under the Value column, click where is says u201Cclick here to add itemu201D and select Customer Name from the drop-down list. The dialog shown now look like the one shown below in Figure 1. Click OK to return to your report design.
Dynamic Parameter Setup6. Next, select Report > Select Expert, select the Customer Name field and click OK.7. Using the drop-down list beside select u201CIs Equal Tou201D and using the drop-down list, select your parameter field (it should be the first field). 8. Click OK to return to your report design and see the parameter dialog.The parameter dialog will appear and show you a dynamic list of values that is updated each time your run your report. It couldnu2019t be easier! In our next tutorial, we will be looking at how to use this feature to create cascading parameter fields, where the values are filtered by the preceding selection.
Dynamic Parameters in Action
My question is that whether dynamic parameter is working with storedprocedure or not.
When i added one table and try to fetch records using dyanmic prameters. after that i am not be able to find the dynamic parameter option when i referesh my report.
One more thing when i try the static parameter for my report, the option i see when i referesh the screen.
Please reply soon , it's urgent

Hi Kishore,
I have tested the issue step by step by following you description, while the first issue works well in my local environment. Based on my research, this can be caused by the lookup expression or it indeed return Male value based on the logic. If you use the
expression below, it will indeed only return the Male record. So please try to double-check the record in the two datasets and the expression in your environment:
=lookup(first(Fields!ProgramID.Value,"DataSet1"),Fields!ProgramID.Value,Fields!Gender.Value,"DataSet2")
As to the second issue, please try to use the following expression:
=Count(Lookup(fields!ProgramID.value,fields!ProgramID.value,fields!Gender.value,"DataSet2"))
Besides, if this issue still exist, in order to trouble shoot this issue more efficiently, could you please post both the .rdl file with all the size properties to us by the following E-mail address? It is benefit for us to do further analysis.

Refresh popup list of values javascript

I try to change value of popup list of values with javascript.
When i set it with javascript i get only return value visible in popup list of values (display). When i add refresh in dynamic action item is clean..and dont have any value..
How to set display and return value correctly...
Thanks...
Edited by: Nihad Haskovic on Jul 18, 2012 3:18 AM

I am not sure if I understand your question, but if you want to show two display value columns you can use a concatenation, for example:
select raum||' - '||some_other_column display_value, raum return_value from standort order by 1
You can also build a custom popup LOV picker. If you wanted to have popup list of values that selected a number of columns and contained custom report filters you could do so by:
1. create a report page which queries the table you wish pick from
2. change the page template to be a popup lov style template
3. in the "Post Element Text" attribute put a link to the new popup page using javascript similar to: javascript:popupURL('f?p=&APP_ID.:10:&SESSION.')
( you may wish to wrap it around an image such as this one )
<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#htmldb/icons/view_small.gif" />
4. make one of the columns in your report a link to javascript to passback the value and close the popup window. A good example of this javascript can be viewed by viewing the HTML page source of the popup page finder which is linked from the APEX page definition page.

Popup list of methods

You know that popup list of methods you get when you type a variable name then a dot?
It doesn't work for this case:
variable.getTable().getMo
The list of methods starting with getMo are the methods of "variable", not what variable.GetTable() returns.

Displaying the list of values in the Report

Hi All,
Is there any possibility to include the scrollable list on the face of report(Not in the left side i.e as input control)
For example If I have a country with different counties.
Based on the country selection in the block it should display the list of counties as scrollable list.
Would it be possible.
Please help
thanks
Edited by: VP S on Sep 1, 2010 2:45 PM

Not sure if you are looking for the same..
Have you tried applying the filter at the filter pane..i.e.
Click on the the show\hide filter pane (filter icon is present nearby the drill icon)
Now drag the required object on this pane.
It will create the dropdown filters on top of the report.
Regards,
Rohit

Select list works for some users not for others

Apex 3.2, Oracle 10g
I have a page with a select list. (other select lists work fine) This view is a based on a view over a dblink with the chain being (public synonym -> dblink view -> dblink real view )
One user logs into the Apex app and the select list populates.
I log in to the app, either through the developer login or the app login, navigate to the same page and the select list does not populate.
What can cause this in Apex or is it a database issue.
Someone said it may be a rights issue, but I thought all Apex users appeared as the same 'user' to the database.
Miscellaneous points: The app authentication is via LDAP/OID and I can get the select list code work in SQL Developer.
Thanks,
Sam

not sure what you are asking
It is a "Select List"
The sql is
select x d, x r
from view
wher x is not null
order by 1
The view is a synonym in the application schema, points to a view on the same database instance (different user) which points to the real view via dblink to a different database instance.

Eliminating the null values from popup list item

Dear All,

i want to eleminate the blank null value from the popup list.
Need Help.

and the onward click dont show the null value.i want to eleminate the null value even for the first time when the user run the
from.

JComboBox popup list remains open after losing keyboard focus

Hi,
I have noticed a strange JComboBox behavior. When you click on the drop down arrow to show the popup list, and then press the Tab key, the keyboard focus moves to the next focusable component, but the popup list remains visible.
I have included a program that demonstrates the behavior. Run the program, click the drop down arrow, then press the Tab key. The cursor will move into the JTextField but the combo box's popup list is still visible.
Does anyone know how I can change this???
Thanks for any help or ideas.

How to delete empty element in popup list

I have a question about a suspicious behaviour in Forms Builder 10.1.2.0.2.
When I have a list object (pop up list) I can define some values in the attribute palette of the object.
So you can set a shown name and a value behind. In this little window to set the items of the popup list you get automatically a white empty item at the end of the list. When I click now on this empty item (you do so, when you want to add an item) Forms Builder automatically adds an new empty item at the end.
When I click this new empty item, Forms Builder adss another empty one ... and so on.
It´s very suspicious because, when I end this dialog with "OK", it will be saved and when I open the form (over web) I have at the end of the list one, two (or more) empty elements in list.
But I can´t delete this empty ones from the list in Forms Builder.
So my question:
how can I delete empty items in a popup list??
I try it with hit "del" button at keyboard or delete the set value for the item (I hope Forms Builder delete items without value). But all does not help.

Thanks jwh for this great solution! :)
On my german keyboard it is:
ctrl+< for deleting a line
ctrl+> (= ctrl+shift+<) for adding a new line
Thanks! :)
I have another question (you can maybe help me, too?).
On this popup lists you can have several items. When you open a form (via web) and the list has more than x items (maybe 5 or 6) the form shows a scroll bar on the right side.
Is there any poosibility to set how much items has to show and only show a scroll bar when there are more items in the list?
Or other way: set the maximum of shown items so big, that there will be no scroll bar.
