Bex query that returns variable number of columns based upon variable value

I have a request to create a query that, at excution time, has a variable for 'nbr of months', and based on the value entered by the user, returns data for only the specified number of months. Value that can be entered can vary from 1 to 12. A simple example is, if the user enters 1, then they would only want to see one column, and if they entered 6, then they'd like to see 6 columns in the workbook. All suggestions on how to implement this dynamic columns on a workbook will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
Do this->
1) first create a New Structure in Rows-> Place your New Selection and drag your KF.
2) Nw Create a New Formual under this structure. Now Create a Formula variable ( "ZFVXXX")with user-entry and ready for input and dimension as NUmber. and place in formula area. And hide this formula.
3)Now Create a New Customer-Exit variable on 0CALMONTH name as "ZCECMON" with following atrribute->Mandatory, Range(Interval) and remove check for Ready for entry.
4)Drag your 0CALMONTH in Rows above That Structure and restrict it to "ZCECMON".
5) Now go to CMOD and write this code.
INCLUDE ZXRSRU01 *
DATA: L_S_RANGE TYPE RSR_S_RANGESID. 'In global area
DATA: LOC_VAR_RANGE LIKE RRRANGEEXIT. 'In global area
DATA: zmonth like /bi0/0calmonth.
CASE I_VNAM.
WHEN 'ZCECMON'.
IF i_step = 2.
LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
WHERE VNAM = 'ZFVXXX'.
zyear = sy-datum(4).
zmonth = sy-datum+4(2).
l_s_range-low = zmonth.
zmonth = zmonth + loc_var_range-low.
l_s_range-HIgh = zmonth.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'BT'.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
6) activate the porject and go to rsrt and run there first.

San!

SSIS OLE DB Source in Data Flow Task calling SP that returns variable number of column as output

We have one old Stored Proc that I need to reuse. But that stored proc returns different number of Columns as output depending on input Parameter. Say, if I pass 1 to 9 it will return 'ID', if i pass 10 to 33 it will return 'ID', 'Name', if I pass
34 to 51 it will return 'ID', 'Name', 'DefaultPosition'
In this way.
Now I wanted to use this in OLE DB Source in SSIS DFT.
During that time immediately it is picking all possible columns in Available External Columns. Even if I manually select/delete those, package is failing at Runtime, because in Runtime the parameter this will get, it should always return one & only one
column which is ID. [Because in this package I will only have to pass parameters like, 1 or 2 or 5 or 7 or 9.
Which in every case should return only ID from stored proc.
Any Idea how I can get this please?
Regards, Avik M.

Has any one tried something like it? Could you please provide me a sample if you have done it.
I tried these options but always got errors as
[usp_return [64]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E55.An OLE DB record is available. Source:

of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.

Procedure with variable number of columns

Hi, I have a procedure that looks like this:
PROCEDURE PROC(p_cursor OUT sys_refcursor)
And in the procedure, I build up QUERY dynamically and the number of columns varies at runtime.
At the end I do
OPEN p_cursor for QUERY
Then to call this, I'm doing
call PROC(?)
My question is, how would I go about running the query from this procedure, then adding rows or modifying the existing results, then returning the modified data?
What I want to do is add a new row based on some condition, so I still need to return a variable number of columns, but I need to modify the results before I return them.
Is there any way of doing this? I need to do some calculations on the columns (the variable columns), create a new row, insert into result set, and return this new result set.

A sys_refcursor is ideally suited to pass back to a front end gui like .NET or Java which can then use that cursor to retrieve the data.
In PL/SQL there is no point in using a sys_refcursor unless you know, at design/compile time what the returned columns are going to be.
If the resultant columns are dynamic, then you have no choice but to use the DBMS_SQL package, where you can parse and execute any SQL statement you like and then use the DBMS_SQL package to describe what the resultant columns are and how many there are. From that you can reference the columns by position rather than by name.
e.g.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE run_query(p_sql IN VARCHAR2) IS

v_n_val     NUMBER;

SQL>In 11g, you can create a sys_refcursor and then the DBMS_SQL package allows you to convert that refcursor into a DBMS_SQL cursor so that you can get the description of the results and do the same. This isn't available prior to 11g though.
However_ before any of that, you should really ask yourself if there is a real need to dynamically be creating queries. There is rarely any real need to do that and if you're finding it's common in your application then this is often a sign of poor design or poorly defined business requirements (leaving the technical side to try and be "flexible" and hence leading to unmaintainable code etc.).

Display table with variable number of columns

Hello Forum,
I'm trying to build an export view of User Management Engine data. I would like to output a table with one row for every user with yes / no fields indicating membership in each of the available groups. Because the number of available groups might change in the future, I can't hardcode the column names for the groups.
That is, I call a webservice to compute a table, and I get back a table with a variable number of columns.
When I try to insert the webservice into my VC model, it complains:
"Port 'Response' was omitted because it includes nested tables, which are not presently supported by Visual Composer"
You might be interested to know that the business method of my webservice (for testing purposes) looks as follows:
public String[][] getVariableSizeArray() {
        String[][] ret = new String[10][];
        for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
                ret<i> = new String[10];
                for (int j = 1; j <= 10; j++) {
                        ret<i>[j] = Integer.toString(i * j);
        return ret;
Any help is appreciated, and points will be awarded for helpful answers,
Sincerely,
Florian

Hi Florian,
dynamic data structures are not supported. You can do this with a workaround. If you know the maximum count of your columns then you can add them to the table and hide/unhide them dynamicly via a formula in the hidden condition. Of course in your WS you als need a fix structure of your columns.
This is not the best solution, I know so far, but it works. This is just one limit of VC.

How to generate report with dynamic variable number of columns?

How to generate report with dynamic variable number of columns?
I need to generate a report with varying column names (state names) as follows:
SELECT AK, AL, AR,... FROM States ;
I get these column names from the result of another query.
In order to clarify my question, Please consider following table:
CREATE TABLE TIME_PERIODS (
PERIOD     VARCHAR2 (50) PRIMARY KEY
CREATE TABLE STATE_INCOME (
     NAME     VARCHAR2 (2),
     PERIOD     VARCHAR2 (50)     REFERENCES TIME_PERIODS (PERIOD) ,
     INCOME     NUMBER (12, 2)
I like to generate a report as follows:
AK CA DE FL ...
PERIOD1 1222.23 2423.20 232.33 345.21
PERIOD2
PERIOD3
Total 433242.23 56744.34 8872.21 2324.23 ...
The TIME_PERIODS.Period and State.Name could change dynamically.
So I can't specify the state name in Select query like
SELECT AK, AL, AR,... FROM
What is the best way to generate this report?

How to access variable number of columns using ref cursor !

Hi,
I am trying to get variable number of columns using ref cursor.
Declare
mySzSql varchar2(2000);
Type dynSqlRC is Ref cursor;
current_cur dynSqlRC;
tbl_rec alt_42_consolidated%Rowtype;
Begin:
/* This works */
mySzSql := 'select *
from
Table1
Where
rowid = ''AAEWNEABXAAAAkxAAA''';
/* i want something like this to work, this is not working, giving missing variable name error */
mySzSql := 'select col1, col2, col3
from
Table1
Where
rowid = ''AAEWNEABXAAAAkxAAA''';
open current_cur for mySzSql;
fetch current_cur into tbl_rec;
close current_cur;
End;
I do have the list of desired columns which I am looking to fetch, so after taking that in the record type, how should i get their values. Is it possible to traverse tbl_rec declared above and if column name matches then I will store the value in the array and finally return this array.
Can somebody please tell me how to do this.
Thanks

It appears that this is a followup to How to loop through columns selected by select clause which is itself a followup to [url="
How to execute dynamic sql"]this earlier thread.
Assuming these are intended to be followup questions, can we please stick to a single thread? That makes it a lot easier to understand the situation and follow the conversation. Starting multiple threads makes it harder to follow the conversation.

UiXML tables - variable number of columns?

I'm trying to define a <table> in a UIX page which will be generated from a set of parameters. This set of parameters will result in a varying number of columns so I'm looking at providing a DataObjectList which has DataObjects with keys for each of the columns attributes (header text, name of control, value of control etc.). I want to do something similar to <contents data:childData=...> on the <table> contents but this doesn't seem to work. It seems that <table> needs you to know how many columns will be present - is that so or is there some way I can do this?
Cheers
Ian

Ian,
That is correct, the uiMXL <table> element cannot currently support
a variable number of columns (using something akin to the
childData support in other contexts). But there are two approaches
to get what you want.
If you know the range of possible columns, then you can add a <column>
element for each possible column in the <table>'s contents and then
databind the rendered flag of the column element to hide/show the
column as necessary.
However, the real solution to your scenario, where the number of columns
is completely unknown when you're designing the page, is our canonical
example of a time you should write Java code for a portion of your page.
Specifically, you can use the XML <include> element to refer to a
DataProvider that will programatically create a TableBean. This
technique is discussed in the Dynamic Structure for UIX pages
portion of the UIX Developer's Guide.

Creating a table with a variable number of columns

Hi,
I am working on a form and I want to allow the user to add tables to the form. If I give them a base table (for instance, a table with two rows and columns) is there any way to allow the user to add columns to the table. I can add new instances of rows, but I need the number of columns to be variable as well.

Updating a table with a query that return multiple values

Hi,
I'm trying to update a table which contain these fields : ItemID, InventoryID, total amounts
with a query that return these values itemId, inventoryid and total amounts for each items
Mind you, not all the rows in the table need to be updated. only a few.
This what i wrote but doesn't work since the query return multiple values so i can't assign it to journalAmounts.
UPDATE [bmssa].[etshortagetemp]
SET JournalAmounts = (SELECT sum(b.BomQty) FROM [bmssa].[Bom] b
JOIN [bmssa].[SalesLine] sl ON sl.ItemBomId = b.BomId
JOIN [bmssa].[SalesTable] st ON st.SalesId = sl.SalesId
WHERE st.SalesType = 0 AND (st.SalesStatus IN (0,1,8,12,13)) AND st.DataAreaId = 'sdi'
GROUP BY b.itemid, b.inventdimid)
Any advise how to do this task?

Remember that link to the documentation posted above that explains exactly how to do this. When you read it which part exactly were you having trouble with?

I need a query that returns the average amount of characters for a text colum in MS SQL.

Problem with a simple function that return a number

Hi,
I'm writing a function that return a number. I receive always an error (invalid number) but I don't understand why.
The function is this:
>
FUNCTION COUNT_OBJECT(workflow_name_p IN NUMBER, object_type_p IN VARCHAR2) RETURN NUMBER
IS
object_inserted NUMBER;
BEGIN
object_inserted := 0;
IF workflow_name_p = 'AIMDailyIngestorWorkflow'
THEN
object_inserted := 1;
else
object_inserted := 100;
END IF;
RETURN object_inserted;
END COUNT_OBJECT;
I have left only an if and an assignment because I do not find the error.
When I execute the function I receive always this error:
ORA-01722: invalid number
01722. 00000 - "invalid number"
*Cause:
*Action:
There are not operation, only assignment I cannot understand.
Could someone help me?
Thanks bye bye.

I changed in this way:
FUNCTION COUNT_OBJECT(workflow_name_p IN VARCHAR2, object_type_p IN VARCHAR2) RETURN NUMBER
IS
object_present NUMBER;
object_inserted NUMBER;
table_name_p VARCHAR2(4000);
query_stmt VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
IF workflow_name_p = 'AIMDailyIngestorWorkflow'
THEN
SELECT SUM(B.STOREDOBJS) INTO object_present
FROM DPCTJOBTYPESTATS B
WHERE B.WORKFLOW_NAME = workflow_name_p AND B.OBJTYPE=object_type_p;
SELECT 'AIM.'||B.TABLE_NAME INTO table_name_p
FROM DPCTSWOBJTYPE B
WHERE B.OBJTYPE=object_type_p AND SOFTWARE='AIM';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ' || table_name_p || ';' INTO object_inserted;
object_inserted := object_inserted - object_present;
END IF;
RETURN object_inserted;
END COUNT_OBJECT;and now the error is:
ORA-00911: invalid character
ORA-06512: at "INFRA.WORKFLOW_STATISTICS", line 504
00911. 00000 - "invalid character"
*Cause: identifiers may not start with any ASCII character other than
letters and numbers. $#_ are also allowed after the first
character. Identifiers enclosed by doublequotes may contain
any character other than a doublequote. Alternative quotes
(q'#...#') cannot use spaces, tabs, or carriage returns as
delimiters. For all other contexts, consult the SQL Language
Reference Manual.
but the line 504 is the blank line higlighted with the ***.
Why this error? The code seems correct.
Thanks, bye bye.

Limit columns based on variable value

Gurus,
   My requirement;
   User will enter a value "A" in the variable and based on the value i need to limit
   the columns in the output. for example in the query designer i have 6 fields in
   Rows, in Free Chars i have the field with variable which user will enter. if the value
   entered is "A" only 4 fields should appear on the report else if value is "B" only
   the other 2 fields should appear.
   Is there a way accomplish this...please suggest
Thanks with points in advance...

Geni,
Are u using the Excel based Analyzer as your Front End?
If so you can run a small VBA (on event SAPBEXonrefresh) that will hide columns based on the value of the cell that displays the value of the variable that the user is setting.
See code i posted in Re: How do I make cells "0" and not blank for an example.
Is this what you are after?
Hope it helps,
Gili

Printing Error:Invalid variable number (RPT -6300) (Field: F_060) Variable '69' [Message 200-38]

Dear Friends,
Greetings to you all!
Below error is not allowing me to view the PLD on all inventory related documents like GRPO/DELIVERY/GOODS RECEIPT/GOODS ISSUE/Inventory transfer and also at invoice level if transaction was posted directly and attached file is for your information.
I couldn't find the (Field: F_060) and Variable '69' even in hidden files.
"Printing Error:Invalid variable number (RPT -6300) (Field: F_060) Variable '69' [Message 200-38]"
Request you to provide me the solution ASAP to clear this issue.
With warm regards

Dear Mr.Nagarajan garu,
Thanks for the reply and the problem is not with one specific PLD, even it is not allowing to view SAP given PLD's also.
And it is happening only with the inventory related transactions.
EX- If invoice had any base document then it can be viewable.
If Invoice/GRPO docs were directly posted then printing error is throwing
Thanks & Regards

Dispaly or Hide a column based on Prompt Value

Hi All,
How can I Display or Hide a Column based on Prompt Value selected?
On my dashboard I have a Report/Request and a Dashboard Prompt.
Dashboard Prompt has three values, say: *'A', 'B' and 'C'*.
And my report/request has three columns named *'Field1', 'Field2'* and Field3'.
What I am trying to achieve is that whenever user selects prompt values as *'A' or 'B'* all the three fields on my report named *'Field1', 'Field2' and Field3'* should be displayed, however whenever user selects prompt values as *'C'* only fields named *'Field1' and 'Field2'* should be displayed.
Thanks,
Deepak

Hi Bhavna,
I tried using View Selector, however I am not able to achieve the required functionality with that.
I created a Request with 3 columns in it, then I switched to criteria and added another table to that. The new table automatically got the similar 3 columns used in the first report. Now when I tried to delete one of those columns from the new report, it also got deleted from the first report.
All the views are dependent, changes made to one are reflected in other.
Can't figure it out, where am I going wrong?
Thanks,
Deepak

Using orcl:query-database to return a number of Columns

I have a BPEL process that is pulling data from some Database tables everything is working fine.
I now need to perform a lookup on the database to pull in some additional information (3 additional attributes) within the stylesheet, where each attribute comes from a separate table.
i.e.
select a.col1, b.col1, c.col1
from tab1 a
,tab2 b
, tab3 c
where a.col2 = b.col2
and .......blah blah blah....
I have used the orcl:database-query successfully to retrieve a single column and a single row and it works great.
However i'd like to run the above query as one statement, rather than 3 separate queries.
I've googled the fucntion for examples where it returns a nodelist or XML snippet, but to no avail.
I've tried it before and couldn't get it to work.
Does anyone have any examples.
Thanks in advance.
Stuart
