Using a year parameter in a date condition

I am collecting a year parameter from my user and want to use that year as part of a complete date condition.
So I collect the year 2003 from my user.
A condition is applied to the report in that the date must be after 01-APR-...and here is where i want to utilize the parameter @Year. So I can apply the same date condition depending on what year we are looking at.
I am sure this can be done but I am missing the syntax.
Thanks, mpaskevi

Thanks for the reply. I had started taking the date apart using tochar as in:
WHERE (QUAL.CANCELLATION_DATE IS NULL
OR
to_char(QUAL.CANCELLATION_DATE,'YYYY') = :Year
AND
to_char(QUAL.CANCELLATION_DATE,'DD')>'04'
AND
to_char(QUAL.CANCELLATION_DATE,'MM')>'02')
But was still struggling.
If I use your method which is much more efficient I get the following error. I would have expected a prompt for the parameter.
ORA 01008 not all variables bound
Any thoughts?

How to use previous year keyfigure data in current year for other keyfig

Hi Expert,
I have 1 requirement wherein I need to use previous year data for some keyfigure calculation.
Details are as follows:
I have designed query with CKFs Turnover & UVG (in rows) & Fiscal year period in columns.
Suppose Keyfigure Turnover data is displayed from Apr2009 to Mar 2011. In UVG: for Apr 2010, i need Turover data of month Apr 2009, for May 2010 turnover data of May 2009 similarly for other months.
As per my understanding, I need to use customer exit which will store kf turnover data in internal table & in turn it will be used for UVG.
But I'm not able to put it into syntax.
Kindly suggest your inputs in this scenario.
Thanks,
Shamkant

Teradata database error when using a Universe-defined Date condition

I have encountered an odd problem when connecting Crystal to a Universe. There is a pre-defined Date condition built into the Universe that is defined as follows:
@Select(Date\Week End Date) > @Select(Conditions\User Response Select Date week -28) AND @Select(Date\Week End Date) <= @Select(Conditions\User Response Select Date)
The filter is designed to retrieve a rolling 4 weeks of data.
When I try and create and refresh a Crystal Report that includes this Date prompt, I get the following error:
Failed to retrieve data from the database.
Details: 22003:(ODBC Teradata Driver)(Teradata Database) A character string failed conversion to a numeric value.
If I create the same query in a WebI report it works fine, but in Crystal the error is produced. I have also tried constructing the same prompt and filter within Crystal rather than use the pre-built prompt but that did not work either.
Does anyone have any experience or advice on this error? I can't seem to find many related postings on this specific error.
BO Enterprise XI 3.1 SP2 running on Windows 2008 Server R2
Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 running on Windows XP SP3
Universe is built on a Teradata 12 source
Thanks!

One item I found I had to do with Teradata was cast my date/time values to dates, otherwise I got weird errors like this. You say it's working in Web Intelligence, so this might not be the issue, but it is an easy thing to test.
In the universe, change your end date definition to
cast(table.end_date as date)
and see if that helps.

Using Fiscal/Year Period to get last year all months data

Hi,
Had a requirement to get Last Years 1-12 months data based on Fiscal/Year Period. So here i am using Fiscal/Year period as my input. Please let me know with code.
Regards,
Vishnu

Hi ,
Where you want to write code ?
Well the basic logic will be like :
TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_range,
sign TYPE c LENGTH 1,
option TYPE c LENGTH 2,
low TYPE c LENGTH 8,
high TYPE c LENGTH 8,
END OF ty_range.
DATA : t_range TYPE TABLE OF ty_range,
w_range LIKE LINE OF t_range.
DATA :v_lastyear type c length 4 .
v_lastyear = sy-datum(4) - 1 .
w_range-sign = 'I'.
w_range-option = 'EQ'.
concatenate v_lastyear '001' t into w_range-low.
concatenate v_lastyear '012' t into w_range-high.
APPEND w_range TO t_range.
****it will select data from source package for last one year .Internally year and period store like YYYYPPP (2011001)
select SOURCE_PACKAGE WHERE 0fiscper IN t_range.
you can modify selection statement as per your requirement .
hope this will be helpful .

Custom Report Erroring when using All as parameter

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in running custom report.
=> DB Server Info
RDBMS : 11.2.0.2.0
Oracle Applications : 12.1.3
I am getting following error.
REP-1401: 'afterpform': Fatal PL/SQL error occurred.
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
custom report two parameters one is date parameter and name parameter
date parameter is using as fnd_date.canonical_to_date(:P_EFFECTIVE_DATE) in queries.
if I give name parameter for individual, then it works fine.
if I give name parameter as "All", then its erroring. I tried it in my best way, but its not working.
variable data length increased though its not working, can any one help me on this please....
Here is the Afterpform code
function AfterPForm return boolean is
lName VARCHAR2(5000); -- its changed from lName varchar2(50);
begin
IF :P_NAME <> 'All' THEN
lName:= 'AND name =:P_NAME';
ELSE
lName:='AND name in                                                             (select name from <******>
          order by name
END IF;
:P_Where_Clause := lName;
return (TRUE);
end;
Thanks for all your help so far.
Ram.

excuse i understood that you use All as parameter name
ORA 6502 is when you assign a char to a number or when assign a value which length is greater than the variable length
what's the dimension of p_where_clause for example?
you can trace with srw.message
--- <Code>
function AfterPForm return boolean is
lName VARCHAR2(5000); -- its changed from lName varchar2(50);
begin
srw.message(1,'step 1');
IF :P_NAME = 'All' THEN
srw.message(2,'step 2');
lName:='AND name in (select name from <table>
order by name
srw.message(3,'step 3');
ELSE
srw.message(4,'step 4');
lName:= 'AND name =:P_NAME';
srw.message(5,'step 5');
END IF;
srw.message(6,'step 6');
:P_Where_Clause := lName;
srw.message(7,'step 7');
return (TRUE);
end;
---</Code>
i think your query is not good
for example
lName:= 'AND name =:P_NAME';
when instance the query the query search this condition but no use the value of p_name parameter
write
lName:= 'AND name = '||''''||:P_NAME||''''; then :p_name take the value

Date condition not working correctly in Desktop

Hello,
I have two custom folders in Admin that are joined. One of the folders contains the following query:
SELECT ORGANIZATION_ID, ASSET_NUMBER, MIN(CURRENT_READING_DATE) FIRST_READ_DATE, MIN(CURRENT_READING) FIRST_READING
FROM EAM_METER_READINGS_V
WHERE PREV_DESC IS NULL
Group By ORGANIZATION_ID, ASSET_NUMBER
I want my workbook to report the earliest meter reading that exists, based on the date that is specified in the parameters in Desktop. When I create a parameter for the date, the workbook reports the earliest reading in the database; it ignores the date restriction entered in the parameter. This is the parameter:
First Read Date MIN BETWEEN :First Reading Date and SYSDATE
If I include the date condition in the SQL of the custom folder the workbook functions exactly as it should. The date condition is in the SQL as the following:
and current_reading_date between '01-JAN-2007' and SYSDATE
Since the workbook functions correctly when the condition is coded in the SQL but not when it is based on a parameter, I assume the problem is with the parameter. Any ideas on how I may correct this?
Thanks,
Steve

Thanks for the response Michael. I tried using the MIN function as you suggested, but I still am not getting the expected result. I’m not sure that I was clear in my initial problem description. I will try to provide more detail with this post.
The reason I have two custom folders is that my original query has a nested Select statement (EAMV) and I couldn’t find a way to pass the parameter from EAMV to Discoverer. Following is the original query. I suppose the first logical questions would be, is there a way to pass the parameter to Discoverer? Would this alleviate the need for the second custom folder?

Using this query I want to show the most recent reading (current reading) and then give users the flexibility to enter an earlier date so the earliest reading as of that date will also show. For example, if they enter 1-JAN-2007 as the parameter and there was a reading taken on 2-JAN-07 and 28-JAN-07, the report should show the 2-JAN-2007 reading (in addition to the most recent reading in a separate column). Currently, everything on the report displays correctly, except for the reading based on the parameter.

How to enable or disable report parameter based on certain conditions

Hello ALl,
I have 3 parameters in my report. Fst parameter is having a LOV which is having all status value like 'Received,Refunded, Exempted etc).
second parameter is From date and third parameter is To Date which is having value set as "FND_STANDARD_DATE'
Now my requirement is If Status is selected as "Exempted" then From and To Date should be disabled.
if other than that then both should be enabled.....
Please help me out.
How it cna be done.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You can use a condition
<?xdoxslt:ifelse(Condition,'Paragraph','')?>
Condition is the condition that needs to be satisfied
Paragraph is the paragraph that needs to be displayed if the condition is satisfied
'' is what needs to get displayed if the condition is not satisfied.
Thanks,
Swarna

How do you use the "Item Containing Start/End Date" in a Calendar?

Hi
I want to do a calendar where the days shown will be conditional to a certain interval. Now I though I could achieve that using the Item Containing Start Date of a calendar. But it doesn't seem to work. In the help it says :
Enter an item in the application which holds the start date of the calendar. The format of the date in this item must be YYYYMMDD.
This is what I did here
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=34530:1::::::
I have 3 fields. 2 for the Start Date and End Date and 1 for the "Date Item" parameter. Only the latter has an effect on the calendar display, the calendar only displays the month of the "Date Item" (in monthly mode).
Wether or not I check "Begin at Start of Interval", it doesn't affect the way those fields are affecting the Calendar.
So, how do we use that "Item Containing Start/End Date" parameter?

Two commands in the report using the same parameter - fail under Java

I have a report that contains 2 SQL commands.
Both of these commands use one parameter X of type Number in their 'WHERE' clause.
When i'm viewing the report in CR 2008, i'm asked for a value of this parameter and all data is filled in the report - OK
The problem occurs when the same report is printed through Crystal Java Runtime:
Report is printed without data! - it's empty.
What we noticed in the debug information thrown by the Crystal libraries is that parameter value is set only in one of these commands:
Original statement 1:
select a.something
from ANM_T a
where a.anmid = {?PARAMETER01Id}
Original statement 2:
SELECT * from ANM_T a
WHERE a.anmid={?PARAMETER01Id}
OUTCOME of Statement 1:
select a.something
from ANM_T a
where a.anmid = 0
OUTCOME of Statement 2:
SELECT * from ANM_T a
WHERE a.anmid=9825
In above example we may see that crystal set the value only in the second statement - first one got 0 - i suspect its some default value.
Parameter in the Java code is set in the right way. In case of using only one statement it works. If we use two separate parameters (whose values are equal ) it also works.
// we have also the loop over the parameters
ParameterFieldController paramFieldController =
                report.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController();
paramFieldController.setCurrentValue( "", paramName, paramValue );
What is strange for me is that Crystal Reports enables to use the same parameter in two commands but if you edit one of them you may change the type of this parameter for a command ( for example from Number to String) but the parameter type in the second command remains unchanged ( it's strange because in my opinion it is the same parameter). In the Field Explorer under the Parameter Fields i still see one parameter of type used in the second command.

Hello all,
We have prepared some sample code to illustrate the issue.
We have modified the sample application (Link: [http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/c07fec3e-3e11-2c10-1991-8c0fb0b82b75]) to that it also changes the parameter value. Parameter is used in two commands saved in report.
The code changing the parameters value looks like this:
private static void changeParameters(ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc) throws ReportSDKException {
          DataDefController dataDefController = reportClientDoc.getDataDefController();
        Fields fields = dataDefController.getDataDefinition().getParameterFields();
        for( int i = 0; i < fields.size(); i++ ){
            Field field = (Field)fields.getField( i );
            if( field.getKind() == FieldKind.parameterField ){
                        setParameter( ((ParameterField)field).getName(), "9825" , reportClientDoc);
private static void setParameter( String paramName, String paramValue, ReportClientDocument document ) throws ReportSDKException {
     ParameterFieldController paramFieldController =
                document.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController();
     paramFieldController.setCurrentValue( "", paramName, paramValue );
We have tried the following codes to change the connection info used in commands:
Attempt 1
          Tables tables = databaseController.getDatabase().getTables();
          //Set the datasource for all main report tables.
          for (int i = 0; i < tables.size(); i++) {
               ITable table = tables.getTable(i);
               //Keep existing name and alias.
               table.setName(table.getName());
               table.setAlias(table.getAlias());
               //Change connection information properties.
               IConnectionInfo connectionInfo = table.getConnectionInfo();
               //Set new table connection property attributes.
               connectionInfo.setAttributes(propertyBag);
               //Set database username and password.
               //NOTE: Even if these the username and password properties don't change when switching databases, the
               //database password is *not* saved in the report and must be set at runtime if the database is secured.
               connectionInfo.setUserName(DBUSERNAME);
               connectionInfo.setPassword(DBPASSWORD);
               connectionInfo.setKind(ConnectionInfoKind.SQL);
               table.setConnectionInfo(connectionInfo);
               //Update old table in the report with the new table.
               databaseController.setTableLocation(table, tables.getTable(i));
               //databaseController.setTableLocation(tables.getTable(i), table);
Attempt 2
         newConnectionInfo.setAttributes(propertyBag);
         connectionInfo.setUserName(DBUSERNAME);
         connectionInfo.setPassword(DBPASSWORD);
         //preserve subreport links
         SubreportController src = doc.getSubreportController();
         Map<String, SubreportLinks> linkMapper = new HashMap<String,SubreportLinks>();
         for(String subreportName : src.getSubreportNames()){
             linkMapper.put(subreportName,
                 (SubreportLinks) src.getSubreportLinks(subreportName).clone(true));
         //If this connection needed parameters, we would use this field.
         Fields<IParameterField> pFields = doc.getDataDefController().getDataDefinition().getParameterFields();
         replaceConnectionInfos(doc.getDatabaseController(), newConnectionInfo, pFields);
         IStrings strs = src.getSubreportNames();
         Iterator<String> it = strs.iterator();
         while (it.hasNext()) {
           String name = it.next();
           ISubreportClientDocument subreport = src.getSubreport(name);
           pFields = subreport.getDataDefController().getDataDefinition().getParameterFields();
           replaceConnectionInfos(subreport.getDatabaseController(), newConnectionInfo, pFields);
         //reconnect subreport links since when using replaceConnection links are erased
         for(String subreportName : src.getSubreportNames())
           src.setSubreportLinks(subreportName, linkMapper.get(subreportName));
private static void replaceConnectionInfos(DatabaseController aDc, IConnectionInfo aNewConnInfo, Fields<IParameterField> aParameterField) throws ReportSDKException {
         ConnectionInfos cis = aDc.getConnectionInfos(null);
         for (IConnectionInfo oldConnInfo : cis)
           aDc.replaceConnection(oldConnInfo, aNewConnInfo, aParameterField, DBOptions._useDefault
               + DBOptions._doNotVerifyDB);
In both cases, the observed problem occurred. In one query the parameter was set properly, while on the other it was set to 0 (or empty string in case of string parameters). What is more, no data appeared on the print.
Do you happen to know the reason of this issue?How can we fix the problem?

Issue with Custom data parameter in Excel Data Connection

Hello,
We are querying a OLAP (SSAS 2008) cube using Excel 2007 by creating a data connection to SSAS server with an extended parameter “Custom Data”. We are using custom data parameter to apply our application’s user security to filter dimension
members in Excel’s pivot table report. We have created a pivot table in Excel and the excel is including this custom data parameter along with each request that excel is submitting to SSAS.
However, when the user selects “Show Properties in Report” option for a dimension which is selected in Row-axis of pivot table, Excel is not including custom data parameter . Why this “Custom Data” parameter is not being included in
the request only for this specific case?
1. The Request which sent from Excel to SSAS when user clicks on “Show Properties in Report” option
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Header><Session xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis" SessionId="AE6B294B-4983-4010-BC5F-E0896A49ECD9"/></soap:Header><soap:Body><Discover
xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis"><RequestType>DISCOVER_LITERALS</RequestType><Restrictions/><Properties><PropertyList><Content>SchemaData</Content><Format>Tabular</Format></PropertyList></Properties></Discover></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
2. The sample Request which sent from Excel to SSAS for all other requests
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Header><Session xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis" SessionId="74165AD6-C240-4634-92A1-61A400A3FC97"/></soap:Header><soap:Body><Discover
xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis"><RequestType>MDSCHEMA_CUBES</RequestType><Restrictions><RestrictionList><CUBE_NAME>RepCube</CUBE_NAME></RestrictionList></Restrictions><Properties><PropertyList><Catalog>QAV10_12thMay2010</Catalog><Timeout>5000</Timeout><SafetyOptions>2</SafetyOptions><MdxMissingMemberMode>Error</MdxMissingMemberMode><LocaleIdentifier>1033</LocaleIdentifier><DbpropMsmdMDXCompatibility>1</DbpropMsmdMDXCompatibility><CustomData>xxxxxx</CustomData></PropertyList></Properties></Discover></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
As the Custom Data parameter is missing in 1st request our application logic is throwing a custom exception to Excel and Excel is not able to understand the exception message. Excel is sending the same request repeatedly (going into infinite loop) and the excel
window is freezed. Not able to work with excel until restarting the Excel.
Can anyone help me to resolve the above? quick help is much appriciated!
Thanks,
Venkat

Venkat,
We have a very similar issue, but there is almost no material to help us. If this gets to you, please let me know if you progressed it or whether I need to go to Microsoft for a solution

Report from sql query invalid date condition

Hi, I created a Reports From SQL Query. My sql is like
"select column1, column2
from myschema.tablename
where mydate > :p_date1 and mydate < :p_date2"
I am using portal with turkish and english option. If I pass p_date paramaters 'dd-MON-yyyy' format
(for example p_date1 = 23-MAR-2003 p_date2 = 26-APR-2003) in english mode portlet is return correct result,
in turkish mode 'No Row Returned'. I changed my sql statement with
"select column1, column2
from myschema.tablename
where to_date(mydate,'dd/mm/yyy') > to_date(:p_date1,'dd/mm/yyy') and to_date(mydate) < to_date(:p_date2,'dd/mm/yyyy')"
and I pass p_date parameters 'dd/mm/yyyy' format (for example p_date1 = 23/03/2003 p_date2 = 26/04/2003)
but now turkish and english mode No row returned.
How may I write correct sql statament. My database NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/YYYY and NLS_LANGUAGE=TURKISH.
thanks.

Hi,
Try this for turkish mode:
Case 1: the 'mydate' column has a kind of a char data type (like char, varchar or varchar2)
and a value like '30/03/2003'
"select column1, column2
from myschema.tablename
where
to_date(mydate,'DD/MM/YYYY') > :p_date1
and
to_date(mydate,'DD/MM/YYYY') < :p_date2"
Case 2: the mydate column has a date type:
"select column1, column2
from myschema.tablename
where
mydate > :p_date1
and
mydate < :p_date2"
In both cases use the following parameter values:
p_date1 = 23/03/2003
p_date2 = 26/04/2003
This should work
Thanks

Current Month, Current Year Variable on Posting Date

Hi,
I need to construct a BEx variable that will return the Current Month of the Current Year based on Posting Date. I want to be able to compare Current Month of the Current Year with Current Month of the Prior Year. I know SAP delivers variables for this based on 0CALMONTH. Is there any way to create the variable off Posting Date without having to write a customer exit?
Thanks,
C

I guess you could use replacement path variables for the same. No need to write customer exits.
Create 2 variables, one on calmonth and the other on calyear.
Variable on Calmonth -
type - replacement path.
Replacement path tab - repace with variable, give variable name into which user enters the posting date, replace with key, offset start 2 and offset length 2.
Variable on calyear -
type - replacement path.
Replacement path tab - repace with variable, give variable name into which user enters the posting date, replace with key, offset start 4 and offset length 4.
to get key figures for current month and previous year, restrict the key figure with calmonth variable created above and use offset on the calyear variable created above, like zcalyear - 1.

How to use the out parameter of a transformation

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I need to move all the transformations from process flows to map.SO for each transformation I need to have 1 map which calls this transformation.I have 1 transformation which has both input and output parameter.If I use this transformation in mapping then how to use the out parameter of thsi transformation.This out parameter needs to beused in other mappings.Can soemone please help me.
Thansk in advance

Hi,
I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do.
What works: Connect the outgroup of a pre- or post-mapping process operator to the mapping output parameter operator..
What does not work: Connect the outgroup of an operator that can return more than one row (e.g. table operator, filter, joiner ,...) to the mapping output parameter operator. The mapping output parameter just returns "one row", like a pl/sql function call.
You cannot pass a "data stream" from one mapping to another. Maybe the pluggable mappings is what you are looking for.

Carsten.
