2010 Dynamically Sorting Dates

I am trying to dynamically sort Change Order Effective Dates. The Change Orders are issued in sequence (CO1, CO2, CO3, etc), however their effective dates are (may) not be sequential by date. I am trying to sort the effective dates and associated
CO costs and other information) dynamically to show the historical sequence of the COs as they become valid change orders. I'm hoping to do this without any user interface - i.e., automatically. Any suggestions?

Two points to answer your question
Writing a macro for Sorting - There are multiple VBA Code I found which will help

How do you want to activate this macro ?
There are inbuilt functions which gets called automatically (Selection change, Value change, Sheet activation etc.) You can call the above written macro here
Although the automatic solution is good I'd recommend not to go for it since the macro gets called more frequently than not ... Assign the Macro written in 1st step to a Simple Form control Button which does the job

Dynamic Sorting on Multiple filed in Crystal report 2008

Hi
I am using Crystal report 2008 sp3 full build with hotfix 3.3 along with ASP.NET 2.0
I have implimented the multi filed sorting using the record sort export and setting the sort order in the report designer.
Now my requirement is such that i would like to have dynamic sorting on multiple fileds while report is displayed in the UI.
Means suppose i have a report with Customer region,name,city,rating,status etc.
Now by using the sort control i would like to have the functionality in such a way that if user
a) first sorts on the region then the records should be first sorted by region
b) then sorts on the city then the records should be sorted first by region then by city
c) now sorts on the rating then the records should be sorted first by region ,second by city and then by rating
Now other user may do
a) first sorts on the rating then the records should be first sorted by rating
b) then sorts on the status then the records should be sorted first by rating then by status
c) now user sorts on the region then the records should be sorted first by rating,second by status and then by region
and so on the sorting criteria changes from user to user through the UI.
Is there any way to achieve the dynamic kind of sorting with Crytsal report 2008 where we can set the order of the fileds at sorting in UI dynamically .The sorting order of the fields are not known at the time of design of the report and its completely depends on the user's need.
Please let me know if you require any information on the same.

Hello,
   Good Day!
   Thanks for your answer.
   Could you please explain me in detail how to achieve this functionality?
   Do i need to create a static parameter?
   I get my data set through the command option in crystal report.So i think i need to go by formula in the report.
   i am just putting down the steps to follow.Please correct me if i am wrong.
step1 :Create s static parameter with the name SORT.
step2: create the formula as you have mentioned like
    (IF {?Sort}='Vendor Number' THEN {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.Vendor_Key}& " "& {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.ap_remt_key}
    & " " & {@date}
   else
    IF {?Sort}='Invoice Number' THEN {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.ap_vchr_invno}& " " & {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.Vendor_Key}&
    " " &{@date}
   else
   IF {?Sort}='Invoice Amount' THEN {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.ap_vchr_amtc}& " " & {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.Vendor_Key}&
     " " &{@date})
    I could not understand what this formula is really doing .
    Could you please tell me what the following names indicates? :
              Pr_Voucher_Status :- Table/Command name ??
              Vendor Number,Invoice Number etc.. :- ??
             Vendor_Key,ap_vchr_invno,ap_vchr_amtc .. :- Filed names ??
             use of 1.{} :- ??
step3: place the below formula in the page header to display the sort order
    (if {?SORT}='Vendor Number' then "Vendor Number, Remit To, Invoice Date"
          else if {?SORT}='Invoice Number' then "Invoice Number, Vendor Number, Invoice Date"
          else if {?SORT}='Invoice Amount' then "Invoice Amount, Vendor Number, Invoice Date") .
Note:-My report does not have grouping.Do i need to have grouping?
in this case how the sort control will work ?
As i have mentioned in the first post the order of sorting is completely depends on the user's perspective .
The report is used by the whole organization ..
i mean the people with different roles like Manger,Team leads,modul leads,developers ,testers etc..
the usage of report varies according to the roles so the sort order also.

smitha.

How to acheive Pagination and Dynamic sorting in Web layout.

Hi All,
I'm new to Oracle Reports. I use Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2.
I tried creating a template for simple tabular report. I modified the tempalte for Paper layout, Web layout ie modified .tdf, html, css files.
When the data is dispalyed in the web browser, i need to do Pagination and dynamic sorting (ie when the column heading is clicked, it needs to do sorting by that column).
In the jsp page of the report, it is possible but i want to incorporate this functionality in the Template. So that a single template can be used across multiple reprots with out any modification.
Can any one please tell me how to do this.
Please reply me at the earliest. Its very urgent.
Thanks & Regards,
P. Gayathri Devi

Igor,
You'll need to switch from using Partial Page Rendering to full page submits on that report. In version 4.0 we should be getting more control over event handling in PPRs but to what extent is still unknown.

Dynamic sorting in pivot view

Hello
Can someone please point me to the OBIEE Oracle documentation where I can find "How to make dynamic sorting work in a pivot table view".
I have many pivot views on a dashboard. Clicking on the measure columns "Sort Ascending" and "Sort Descending" did not use to sort the columns in 10g. But I have found on this link
https://forums.oracle.com/message/9321054#9321054
that dynamic sorting can be now done in pivot views. But I am unable to find Oracle documentation on it that tells me how.
We have upgraded to 11.1.1.7 but still I am unable to do sorting in pivot views on dashboards
Thanks

Devendra,
you cannot have both status and status icon in the same column. so create a new column and then populate it according to the status.
here is the sample code from the layout section of document_todo.htm

          <htmlb:tableViewColumn columnName = "AP_STATUS_NAME"
                                 width      = "150"
                                 type       = "IMAGE" >
          </htmlb:tableViewColumn>
          <%
              data: status_icon type string.
              if APPLICATION->T_DOCUMENTS_TODO-AP_STATUS = '2'.
              status_icon = cl_bsp_mimes=>sap_icon( id = 'ICON_WS_PLANE' ).

Sort Date format in Oracle XML Publisher

Hi All,
I have a requirement like trx_date sort. i have taken trx_date in dd-mon-yyyy format. now i given sort option like this..
<?for-each:G_TRX_ORDER_NUMBER?><?sort:TRANSACTION_TYPE?><?sort:DUE_DATE;'ascending';data-type=date?> <?sort:TRX_NUMBER?>
now i have 3 dates
07-NOV-10
20-MAY-11
20-DEC-10
using above sort option.. this dates are not coming as per the ascending order.
Can any one tell me what i have to ?
Thanks

What is your application release?
Does the sort work for other data types?
What if you change "<?sort:DUE_DATE;'ascending';data-type=date?>" to "<?sort:DUE_DATE;'ascending';data-type='date'?>", does it make any difference?
Few examples about the sort can be found in these docs/links.

Dynamic SORT with multiple components

Hi all,
I want to sort an internal table in this way:
SORT itab BY (component).
This is not difficult if "component" contains the name of ONE column of itab. But - and here is my problem - how can I sort with multiple components?
Like this:
SORT itab BY (comp_1) (comp_2) ... (comp_N).
The number of components (N) shall be flexible. It is not possible to concatenate the components into one string-variable. This causes an error ITAB_ILLEGAL_COMPONENT.
Brillant would be a solution which also contains the sort-direction (ASCENDING or DESCENDING for each component like this:
SORT itab BY (comp_1) (dir_1)
(comp_2) (dir_2)
(comp_N) (dir_N).
Is there a way to do so?
Thanks for all hints!
Mathias

Hi Matahias ...
From ABAP help...
SORT itab.
Extras:
1. ... BY f1 f2 ... fn
2. ... ASCENDING
3. ... DESCENDING
4. ... AS TEXT
5. ... STABLE
The syntax check performed in an ABAP Objects context is stricter than in other ABAP areas. See Field symbols not allowed as sort criterion.
Effect
The entries in the internal table are sorted in ascending order using the key from the table definition (DATA, TYPES).
Addition 1
... BY f1 f2 ... fn
Effect
Uses the sort key defined by the sub-fields f1, f2, ..., fn of the table itab instead of the table key. The fields can be of any type; even number fields and tables are allowed.
You can also specify the sort fields dynamically in the form (name). If name is blank at run time, the sort field is ignored. If itab is a table with a header line, you can also use a field symbol pointing to the header line of itab as a dynamic sort criterion. A field symbol that is not assigned is ignored. If a field symbol is assigned, but does not point to the header line of the internal table, a runtime error occurs.
If the line type of the internal table contains object reference variables as components, or the entire line type is a reference variable, you can use the attributes of the object to which a reference is pointing in a line as sort criteria (see Attributes of Objects as the Key of an Internal Table
You can address the entire line of an internal table as the key using the pseudocomponent TABLE_LINE. This is particularly relevant for tables with a non-structured line type when you want to address the whole line as the key of the table (see also Pseudocomponent TABLE_LINE With Internal Tables).
If you use one of the additions 2 to 5 before BY, it applies to all fields of the sort key by default. You can also specify these additions after each individual sort field f1, f2, ..., fn. For each key field, this defines an individual sort rule which overrides the default.

Dynamic sort

Good afternoon Everyone,
Expert Ammad Ahmed guided to dynamic sort in running time.
if you want to make the dynamic order...then
SELECT COLUMN1, COLUMN2...
FROM TABLE
WHERE ...
&P_ORDER_BY -- It will create parameter in report called "P_ORDER_BY"
So at the time of running report you will have to pass value in this parameter like this...
ORDER BY FIELD_NAME -- Here field name is any field you want to order from your query.
Moreover, nothing is simple for us.
We have ORA - 00920 message and we wish more hands.
Thanks in advance,
NY

Parameter with & Sign:
Creating parameter like this called. Lexical Parameters. So lexical mean you can pass the statements in the parameters which can take place in main query. As i showed you for order by. So suppose if you use the query which you posed then query will create parameter as i mentioned before. Then you will have to pass the complete order by statement like this...
ORDER BY column_name -- any one which used in select queryParameter with colon *:*
It create normal data parameter. So. while running report user will pass single value for the parameter as you will use in query with = sign.

Dynamic sort ascending / descending

Hi all,
I am trying to sort an internal table dynamically.
In this table I have a number of field to use for an ascending sort and other used to sort descending.
I have writen the code to create two fields (character field) in which I concatenate the sort field names.
The result is :
sort_field_up = ' field1 field2 field 3'
sort_field_dn = ' field4 field5 field 6'
and then i coded :
sort itab by (sort_field_up) ascending (sort_field_dn) descending.
But I get a dump ...
has anyone ever done this ?
regards,
Nicolas

Pb retrieving sorted data from Table in SQL.

Hi,
I get problem to retrieve data in the right order from table in database SQL.
See code attached: code.png
I want to sort data according to ID number And then to retrieve those data and fill out a ring control in the right order "descending" .
But i got always ID 2 instead of 1. See attached picture : control.png
it seems that the select statement (see under) is not woking properly. But it is working well in a query in Access DataBase .
//Select statement
hstmt = DBActivateSQL (hdbc, ("SELECT * FROM %s ORDER BY ID DESCENDING",szTableName));
if (hstmt<= DB_SUCCESS) {ShowError(); goto Error;}
Some idea ??
Lionel.

code.PNG ‏39 KB
control.png ‏32 KB

Hello Lionel,
According to the document Robert linked, the prototype of DBActivateSQL() is:
int statementHandle = DBActivateSQL (int connectionHandle, char SQLStatement[]);
For the 2nd parameter(SQLStatement), you're sending:
("SELECT * FROM %s ORDER BY ID DESCENDING",szTableName)
Probably your intention is to substitute %s with szTableName, but that's not what it happens.
By using comma operator, ("SELECT * FROM %s ORDER BY ID DESCENDING",szTableName) is evaluated to szTableName, so you call is equivalent to:
hstmt = DBActivateSQL (hdbc, szTableName);
In order to substitute %s with szTableName you need to first build the string you're passing as the 2nd parameter:
char query[512];
sprintf(query, "SELECT * FROM %s ORDER BY ID DESCENDING",szTableName);
hstmt = DBActivateSQL (hdbc, query);

Dynamically Set date not changing in schedule Job

Hi,
I have created a report with "Order Date" as one of the parameters on the selection screen. I have created a variant, say 'X' , to set this date parameter dynamiccaly as "Current date - 31 days".
I have scheduled this program to run in background with the 'X' variant daily at certain time.
Now, for the day on which I created this job , the Order Date is set to correct date . For ex if I am scheduling the job tdy it will be set to 06/10/08. However, for next day , that is tom this date is not getting changed. i.e Tommorrow again Order date is 06/10/08 but it should have been 07/10/08.
So basically this dynamically set date is not chaning in the scheduled job.
Any idea why this is happening and what is the corrective measure for this.
Thanks!

There is an INITIALIZATION event in the program.......
Do the processing your date in that event only....
for ex....
select-options: date for order-date.
INITIALIZATION.
date-low = sy-datum or wat ever.
Thanks

How to sort data in cl_gui_alv_tree class?

Hi,
I thought that since this object uses an alv grid that the standard sort functionality would exist. Now that I've developed most of the code, I realize that there is no native sorting functionality.
Is there some way I can make use of the Superclass CL_ALV_TREE_BASE?
It has some methods that are "Private", "Instance" - I'm still a rookie at OO programming in SAP so I'm not sure how best to approach the situation.
As I see it, I have a few options:
1) Manually manage sorting by providing an ascending and descending button/icon on the toolbar and then delete and rebuild the nodes in the tree.
2) Manually track the data along with the nodekeys and then use method MOVE_NODE to reposition the data in the tree
3) Clone these objects and somehow find the code that is causing the sort options to be suppressed in the toolbar.
Has anyone built any applications using CL_ALV_TREE_BASE that permit sorting?
Please don't waste my time by pasting in the links to all the SAP online help for ALV and expect to get points. Been there, done that. If there is a particular section that is of specific value, I'll happily study it and report my findings. Particularly something that explains how to invoke the methods of a superclass and the difference between protected, public, and private.
Mostly though, I really need a way to sort data in the CL_GUI_ALV_TREE class.
Thanks

Hi Ray,
As far as I know, this will not work. I've had the same problem. The only solution I have found was to re-build the tree each time. It is easier than moving nodes around.
You can take a look at the class cl_wa_notifications_wps - in case you have a PM or an A&D system.

SSRS 2008 R2 - Dynamic header data stays the same when exporting

Background:
I have a SSRS 2008 R2 report with a single Tablix.
The data is grouped by InvoiceID, with each appearing on a separate page.
I'm displaying some of the detail data in the group header row using Expressions similar to the following:
="Invoice # " & ReportItems!InvoiceID.Value"
The data referred to by my ReportItems statements are all hidden in the detail row (Advanced Mode, the Hidden Value for the Static Row Group is set to false).
Problem:
When I Preview the report in Visual Studio, everything looks as it should - the dynamic header data changes correctly with each group.
However, whenever I export the results (I've tried all the formats), the header data is the same for every group - its taking the values from the first group and using it in all the groups.
I've copied the same expressions into my Totals row, and the data is correct when exported; its only happening in my header rows.
Any help in resolving this is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Hi Alex,
According to your description, you have a header with expression contains ReportItems. Now you find it shows incorrect result when exporting to a file. Right?
In Reporting Services, it has reported some similar issue that the ReportItem returns unexpected result when exporting. In this scenario, since you just want to show the group name in each page as a header for detail rows. So you can make the
detail rows group on the Group. Then delete the Group column but still keep the group. After that add a row above detail row (Out side of group) and put in "=Fields!InvoiceID.Value". Now it will show the corresponding Group name
when you set page break between each group instance. We have tested this case in our local environment. Here are screenshots for your reference:

RE: Dynamically mapping data to widgets

One quick and dirty solution would be something like this (though not
terribly efficient):
newPanel : Panel;
newPanel = <panelCreatedFromWindowWorkshop>.Clone(deep = TRUE);for childWidget in newPanel.children do
-- check if the childWidget field name matches field name to be
set
if childWidget.name.isEqual(source=<..FieldNameToSet..>,
ignoreCase=TRUE) then
dataWidget : dataField = dataField(childWidget);
if dataWidget.textvalue = NIL then
dataWidget.textvalue = new;
end if;
-- set the textvalue of the childWidget to required
value
dataWidget.textvalue.setvalue('WORKS !');
end if;
end for;
Your problem would have been directly solved if the Forte library class
CompoundField provided a SetDataObject( ) method corresponding to the
GetDataObject( ) method.
According to Forte Help - "The GetDataObject method returns the object
that the compound field is mapped to. If the compound field is not
mapped to an object, this method returns NIL."
Maybe Forte could consider providing this in a future release.
Another option would have been to use the GetFieldByName( ) method on
the newly created panel to get at the child widgets directly.
According to Forte help - "GetFieldByName is designed for use in dynamic
applications. For example, you can use GetFieldByName to retrieve the
names of dynamically created fields for immediate use in dynamic
applications."
This works fine for compile-time named widgets, but I couldn't get it to
work for the newPanel child widgets using the code below, or maybe I am
missing something here.
newPanel : Panel;
newPanel = <panelCreatedFromWindowWorkshop>.Clone(deep = TRUE);newPanel.name.setvalue('newPanel');
newPanel.parent = <aGridField>;
dataWidget : dataField = dataField(newPanel.getFieldByName('age'));
(OR)
dataWidget : dataField =
dataField(<aGridField>.getFieldByName('newPanel.age'));
(OR)
dataWidget : dataField =
dataField(self.window.getFieldByName('newPanel.age'));
In all cases the return value was NIL.
Maybe someone from Forte could shed more light on this.
Hope this helps.
Prashant.

Subject: Dynamically mapping data to widgets
Here's what I'm trying to do:
I have a panel with a bunch of data fields that I've mapped to an
object.
I want to replicate the panel several times to programmatically
populate a
TabFolder (although the TabFolder bit isn't really relevant here, I
think).
But I can't figure out how to get at the mapped data in the replicas
of my
object...
newPanel : Panel;
newPanel = <panelCreatedFromWindowWorkshop>.Clone(deep = TRUE);
panelCreatedFromWindowWorkshop.anAttributeOfObjMappedToPanel =
something;
// tada! "something" appears in a data field of the original panel
newPanel.? = something; // how to do the same thing with the new
panel?
How do I map an object to the replicated panel? I've experimented
with
assigning "Widget.AppData" to a new object, but I can't seem to get it
to
do anything...
Thanks in advance for your help.
