Thanks in advance.

Hello Ravindar
Of course you can use the colouring options:
CALL FUNCTION 'LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'
EXPORTING
* I_BUFFER_ACTIVE =
    i_structure_name = 'ZSHHR207'
    * I_CLIENT_NEVER_DISPLAY = 'X'
    * I_BYPASSING_BUFFER =
    * I_INTERNAL_TABNAME =
CHANGING
ct_fieldcat = it_fdcat
EXCEPTIONS
inconsistent_interface = 1
program_error = 2
OTHERS = 3.
DATA: ls_fcat     TYPE lvc_s_fcat.
LOOP AT it_fdcat INTO ls_fcat.
    CASE ls_fcat-fieldname.
      WHEN '...'.
         ls_fcat-emphasize = 'C410'.
      WHEN '...'.
         ls_fcat-emphasize = 'C600'.
      WHEN OTHERS.
         CONTINUE.
      ENDCASE.
    MODIFY it_fdcat FROM ls_fcat INDEX syst-tabix.
ENDLOOP.

A simple question about wrong sorting with multiple sort columns in Excel 2010

Hi, everyone! I have encountered a problem that I don't know how to explain.
So I post it here because I don't know if there is another more relevant forum...
I have a data sheet with the students' scores for the course.
All the data were generated with the randbetween function,
and pasted with the values.
To rank the students by their performance,
I did the sort with the column "total score" as the first sort-column
and "final term" as the second.
The weird thing to me is that the order of the data seems problematic.
That is, all the rows are sorted correctly with the first sort-column.
But for the rows with the same values of the first sort-column,
there are some rows whose values of the second sort-column are out of order.
(please look at the data file at
www_dot_kuaipan_dot_cn/file/id_67204268108546068_dot_htm
Please change the "_dot_" to the real literal dot.
Especially the rows with 56.7 as the first sort-column value
and some other values near the tail of the list.)
I tried to manually input and sort the same values of both columns
in a near-by region. The result was correct.
When some friend copied all the data to paste in Notepad,
and reload them in excel. The problem disappears.
Some friend also tried to wrap a round function at the values of the 1st sort-column,
the sorting order became correct!
But they could not explain why either.
How confusing! I even tried to swap the first and secod sort-column;
the output was right.
All the data were generated by randbetween function and pasted with values.
Where could all the special characters, if any, come?
Can anyone give me an explanation? I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Sort is not in proper order
Sounds as if the data includes spaces or hidden characters that are affecting the sort.
That is indicated by the fact that manually entering the data resolves the problem.

Classic report column sorting

Hello to APEX forum
My Apex version is 4.2.1,
database version is Oracle 10g XE on Windows 7 Pro
After upgrading from version 3.2 to 4.2.1 report column sorting doesn't work when "Enable Partial Page Refresh" is set to "Yes".
When "Enable Partial Page Refresh" is "No" sorting is OK.
Please, help
Regards
Mark

Hi Mark,
it looks like your json.js causes troubles. It extends every JavaScript "object" with two methods called toJSONString and parseJSON. I did a quick debugging and it looks like when we construct our AJAX request to do the sorting, the jQuery AJAX handling tries to serialize those two function because it thinks it's regular data and fails with a JavaScript error.
Looking at the original source of your library at https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js even the creators had some doubts using that version of the library
json.js: This file does everything that json2.js does. It also adds a toJSONString method and a parseJSON method to Object.prototype. Use of this file is not recommended.
Are you sure that you need the parseJSON and toJSONString methods? Maybe you are fine with json2.js as well.

Listview column sort

I have code that allows a user to sort columns in a listview. I use it in many forms around my windows project. It works nicely on all pages and searching through the listview works nicely except for one page the searching is slowed down enormously when
the column sorting is enabled but sorting works fine. Below is the code for that page.
I allow the users to search in the search box on top (not showing but it was a textbox the user can type in and it searches in the listview) and then it reloads the listview on bottom based on the search criteria.
Also the user can click on the column header in the listview and it will sort the columns….
SEARCH
private void ProductSearch_TextChanged(object sender,
EventArgs e)
 ProductsSearch(btnAdvancedSearch.Text);
private void ProductsSearch(string filterOption)
StringBuilder sb = new
StringBuilder();
string ID = txtItemID.Text.EscapeLikeValue();
string Name1 = txtItemName1.Text.EscapeLikeValue();
string Name2 = txtItemName2.Text.EscapeLikeValue();
string Name3 = txtItemName3.Text.EscapeLikeValue();
if (ID.Length > 0)
 sb.Append("ITEMSTRING like '" + ID +
if (Name1.Length > 0)
if (sb.Length > 0)
 sb.Append(" and ");
switch (filterOption)
case "Basic Search":
 sb.Append("' ' + Description
like '%" + Name1 + "%'");
break;
case "Advanced Search":
 sb.Append("Description like
'" + Name1 + "%'");
break;
if (Name2.Length > 0)
if (sb.Length > 0)
 sb.Append(" and ");
switch (filterOption)

 lsvColumnSorter.SortColumn = e.Column;
 lsvColumnSorter.Order = System.Windows.Forms.SortOrder.Ascending;
// Perform the sort with these new sort options.
 lsv.Sort();
In this specific page the column sorting code is effecting the searching code.
What could the problem be?
Debra has a question

Hi Debra,
I suggest you could use the listview to search.
you could refer to this post:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16549823/filtering-items-in-a-listview
Use the listView item, not to reload the listViewitem.
And then i see you using the ListViewColumnSorter class, what is this class? Is it customized?
If you could share the more details, I could help you better.

ADF Faces: columns sort problem

Hi all,
I'm new ADF Faces italian user and I have some problem sorting columns of table component...
I have tried to convert my ResultSet in a List, and the data are correctly inserted in the "af:table" but the column sort don't work...
I have already read the "af:table" Oracle specification but I have not just found a solution...
This is the part of my backing bean that return the List:
private List anagsList;
public List getAnagsList()
Connection connection;
Statement statement;
ResultSet resultset;
try
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@192.168.168.75:1521:ORA1", "EL2DEMO", "admin");
statement = connection.createStatement();
if(inputText1.getValue().toString().equals(""))
resultset = statement.executeQuery("SELECT AN_RAGSOC, AN_NOME, AN_DATANASCITA FROM ANAGS");
else
String query="SELECT AN_RAGSOC, AN_NOME, AN_DATANASCITA FROM ANAGS WHERE ";
query=query + "AN_RAGSOC LIKE '%" + inputText1.getValue() + "%' OR ";
query=query + "AN_NOME LIKE '%" + inputText1.getValue() + "%' OR ";
query=query + "AN_DATANASCITA LIKE '%" + inputText1.getValue() + "%'";
resultset=statement.executeQuery(query);
anagsList = new ArrayList();
while(resultset.next())
anagsList.add(new AnagsRecord(resultset.getString(2), resultset.getString(1), resultset.getString(3)));
resultset.close();
statement.close();
connection.close();
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println(e);
return anagsList;
This is my AnagsRecord class:
package mypackage.backing;
public class AnagsRecord
private String nome;
private String cognome;
private String dataNascita;
public AnagsRecord(String nome, String cognome, String dataNascita)
setNome(nome);
setCognome(cognome);
setDataNascita(dataNascita);
public String getNome()
return nome;
public void setNome(String nome)
this.nome = nome;
public String getCognome()
return cognome;
public void setCognome(String cognome)
this.cognome = cognome;
public String getDataNascita()
return dataNascita;
public void setDataNascita(String dataNascita)
this.dataNascita = dataNascita;
And this is table component:
<af:table var="al" emptyText="No records found."
rows="20" value="#{backing_ADFFaces.anagsList}"
banding="row" bandingInterval="1">
<af:column sortable="true" sortProperty="dataNascita">
<f:facet name="header">
<af:outputText value="DATA NASCITA"/>
</f:facet>
<af:outputText value="#{al.dataNascita}"/>
</af:column>
<af:column sortable="true" sortProperty="cognome">
<f:facet name="header">
<af:outputText value="COGNOME"/>
</f:facet>
<af:outputText value="#{al.cognome}"/>
</af:column>
<af:column sortable="true" sortProperty="nome">
<f:facet name="header">
<af:outputText value="NOME"/>
</f:facet>
<af:outputText value="#{al.nome}"/>
</af:column>
</af:table>
I have already installed the ADF Faces demos (column_sortable.jspx) and it works well, but the backing bean is not very understandable...
please help me...
ciao!

Hi,
I have the same problem (with another language), national characters are not sorted properly.
Any pointers how to solve this?

Af:table column sort icon does not appear

Hi,
if I use the declarative way to handle column sorting the tablecolumn gets a icon which indicates sorting.
For one column I have to set the sorting programmatically by using CoreTable's setSortCriteria method .
In this case the sort icon doesn't appear!? Is that right?
regards, Florian

thanks Frank!
It's not a question of enable/disable the sorting feature of the table column.
It's about the requirement to sort the column like in this sql statement:
select c1 || c2 || c3 as c123
from myTable
order by c1, c2, c3 asc;
The column is sortable by default (column data is concatenated like in c123).
I use following code in the SortListenerMethod to enable the sorting for the requirement above:
CoreTable ct = this.getMyTable();
List<SortCriterion> critlist = new ArrayList<SortCriterion>();
boolean sortOrderAsc = true;
critlist.add(new SortCriterion("c1", sortOrderAsc));
critlist.add(new SortCriterion("c2", sortOrderAsc));
critlist.add(new SortCriterion("c3", sortOrderAsc));
ct.setSortCriteria(critlist);
using this always prevent the sortIcon from showing.
On the other hand my sortIcon comes up using the declarative way.
Or is there a way to accomplish the sorting above by using other ways?

Super LOV - Sort columns

Dan - Quick question about the latest version of the Super LOV plugin.
1. Can the columns on the popup LOV be sorted by clicking on the column header?
2. Can the APX$ROWNUM column be hidden?
Thanks

Hi VANJ,
We would like to add support for sorting in a future release. However, we built the plug-in using the APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL package and I'd like to stay on it if possible so this may take some time.
As for the APX$ROWNUM column, just take the number of columns in your LOV query and add 1. Whatever that number is, add it to the hidden columns setting.

Dan

Strange behaviour in alv output display for a date column!

hi friends,
my alv output list display contains a column for budat (posting date), if this field has no value, then it displays a blank cell (space) in the output in my user login...but when the same report is run in another user login, even though the value of the column is null, it displays 00000000 (8 zeroes) rather than displaying a blank cell...i have set the field catalog property NO_ZERO = 'X'; is this property has anything to do with authorization to achieve its funcionality? am not sure...this is strange, as it is the same report, same field catalog that is being used..need some inputs on this
thanks in advance
Sathish

There are 2 solutions for an adhoc solution you can change the field to a char10 field, this will solve your immediate problem of the 0 display. For a permanent solution you can check the user profile setting for the date for you as well as the concerned user.
Hope That Helps

Interactive Report wide Column Sorting hangs in Internet Explorer

I have an application that contains an interactive report. The Column Sorting and Filtering functions work fine in Firefox. However, if I try to sort a wide (110 byte - it contains a hyperlink) column in Internet Explorer, APEX produces the 'loading data' image and then hangs. Even a sort of a narrow (3 byte) column is noticeably slower in Internet Explorer than in Firefox.
We are running APEX 3.1.1 on Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production with the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options

Hello,

Issue Action links,Column sorting in OBIEE(11g) 11.1.1.7.0

Hello everyone,
I want to provide the feature column sorting to my users but i dont want to provide any feature to users when they click on right mouse button.When we click on right mouse in action link column value it is giving the "action links","include/exclude columns" options etc.
I disabled the do not display the action link report name in the column properties.
Also disable the include/exclude columns options in the interaction XYZ properties of the view.
But still i am not able to understand why these links are coming when i run the report from the dashboard.
Please help me out here.
thanks,

Hi Timo,
I am using data control web services to get these attributes on to the jspx page. The table has the value property which is binding to the iterator( #{bindings.SUMMARY_LINES_ITEM.collectionModel}).
The table has various coulmns like order no, status, request and so on..where Order no and status are converted to a cmd link which navigates to another page on a query.
I don't understand how setting sorting to true in one of the columns can make it not found in the iterator! And I get the errors only if sorting is done first before querying(clicking on one of the values in a column to navigate to another page).
Thanks,
Sue

Is it possible to add a newline to a column?

Hi,
So I am wondering if it is possible to add a newline to a column in a SQL report? For example I have 4 columns I am selecting. I want the first two columns to be on one line then have a then the next two columns
to be on the next line. Is something like this possible?
I have tried things like
select column1, column2, ' ' || column3, column4but that doesnt seem to work.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance!

Hi Austin,
Thanks for your help! Neither of those options seem to work. What am I doing wrong?
I have a Reports Region form a SQL Query
SELECT e.evaluation_note_id, l.description, u.FIRST_NAME || ' ' || u.LAST_NAME || ' ' debriefer, e.evaluation_note,
'<a href="javascript:OpenPopup(6,' || chr(39) || 'P6_EVALUATION_NOTE_ID' || chr(39) || ',' || e.evaluation_note_id || ');">Notes</a>' "Notes"
FROM evaluation_notes e, users u, lookups l
WHERE u.user_id = e.created_by
AND e.evaluation_id = :P2_EVALUATION_ID
AND UPPER(l.lookup_type) = 'EVALUATION_TYPE'
ORDER BY e.evaluation_note_idI have all of the columns set to "Standard Report Column"
I have "Strip HTML" set to No
I have tried using the HTML Expression as you have suggested below. I have tried putting the
' 'in the query. But none of these options seem to create a newline for each row.
Do I need to create a Custom Region to get this functionality?
Thanks again
