Bind Variables in Chart

I want to create a chart based on SQL query. SQL query involves a bind variable testdetid as follows:
select
null the_link,
A.questionid Question,
S.score Score
from ELEARN.ANSWERS A, ELEARN.SOLUTIONS S
where A.TESTDETAILID=:testdetid
and A.solutionid = S.solutionid
I want the value that is passed in the bind variable in my "Additional PL/SQL code" chart building wizard's page.
In my Additional PL/SQL code I want to SQL access additional info. based on the testdetid bind variable.
How can it be achieved? Is there any way in which bind variable can be shared across Chart building wizards.

Furthermore, by using the same SQL, I can display chart in "HTML chart". But it does not work in SVGS and flash chart.
I downloaded an example name "Sales Forecasting" from the packaged application and saw this application can display flash chart conditionally (the region within the flash chart has "conditional" word). after studying, I still have no idea how to do.
Please help me solve the issue.
Thanks.

Bind Variable NOT working in APEX 4.0 within charts SQL

All,
I had a chart working fine in 3.2 which had a bind variable like :P11_EMP_NAME, when I created the same chart in 4.0 using the same query it did not work, until I changed the variable to v('P11_EMP_NAME'). Does anyone have experienced the same behaviour?
Thanks

Hi Deb,
Both of your queries are using multi-series syntax i.e. returning more than one series of data, therefore your generated chart is actually generating 6 series rather than just the two that you're aiming for. You could try changing your queries to ensure they each generate a single series of information, which would then result in the extra Y-axis being applied to your "Series 2". Here's an example of what I mean:
Series 1:
select null link, label, value from (
select 'test' label, 1 value from dual
union all
select 'test2' label, 2 value from dual
union all
select 'test3' label, 3 value from dual
)Series 2:
select null link, label, value from (
select 'test' label, 100 value from dual
union all
select 'test2' label, 200 value from dual
union all
select 'test3' label, 300 value from dual
)I hope this helps.

Hi,
You're setting XML data in a JSON model, that's why the binding is incorrect.
Depending on what your MII transaction is returning, you need to either retrieve the JSON part in the XML, or use a XML Model.

Report : Bind Variable in "CODE" report

Hi guys,
I was wondering if any of you could help me with this report?
Imagine the following scenario:
I have this table:
CREATE TABLE my_report_table
my_id NUMBER(15),
my_var VARCHAR2(100),
my_name VARCHAR2(100),
my_other_stuff VARCHAR2(100)
INSERT INTO my_report_table(my_id, my_var, my_name)
VALUES(1, 'some_parameter', 'my name');And I have this "code" as report
DECLARE
my_parameter VARCHAR2(100) := 'some_parameter';
TYPE T_my_report_table IS TABLE OF my_report_table%ROWTYPE;
res T_my_report_table := T_my_report_table();
BEGIN
SELECT *
    BULK COLLECT INTO res
    FROM my_report_table
   WHERE my_var = my_parameter;
   IF res.COUNT > 0 THEN
     FOR i IN res.FIRST .. res.LAST LOOP
       DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Result : ' || res(i).my_id || ', ' || res(i).my_var || ', ' || res(i).my_name);
     END LOOP;
   END IF;
END;
/By code report, I mean a report and I select the "Code" style in the combobox (Table, Chart, Gauge...). What I would like to do is that instead of having the variable "my_parameter", I have it as a bind. But when I edit the report and add a Binds like this (and remove the variable definition in the code):
Name   : :MY_PARAMETER
Prompt : :MY_PARAMETER
Default : DEF
Tooltip: <none>When I open the report, it only shows a gray panel. No exception, noting... Can anyone help me to bind parameters with a CODE report?
Also, I have another question, is it possible to DUMP the select of a SELECT in a report without having to SELECT it into a CURSOR and parse it myself?
THanks,

Creating on the fly dynamic named bind variable names.

I have an application process which gets called by a Dynamic action and Javascript.
Everything is working great however I'm using it to drive dynamic charts.
I could use IF statements at the end of the application process to decide what BIND vairable to fill with the information the process has collected however I'd prefer just to create the BIND variable from the
name of the submitted information.
So I have an application level variable called WHICHCHART. this gets populated with text upon calling the application process...so let's say 'chart1' is what it gets filled with.
What I"d like to have at the end of the application process is just a bind variable waiting called :chart_1.
So no matter what the value of WHICHCHART it will create an on the fly a bind variable with the same name.

Ok. I guess this question was more how do you do this..then OH NO there are not other ways to do this.
So I have a page with a chart region. this chart will have 3 Y Axes which prohibits the use of the default XML.
So..
I have the following Javscript:
function getdata(whichchart) {
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=VM_XML_GENERATION',0);
        get.add('WHICHCHART',whichchart);
        gReturn = get.get('XML');
get = null;
Which is called when the page loads by a dynamic action:
getdata('production');
When the javascript is called as you can see it fires off:
declare
   chart_series_data VARCHAR(32767);
   type array_cols is varray(7) of varchar2(100);
   array array_cols := array_cols('VM_HOSTS_NUM','VM_NUMBER','VM_PHYS_MEM','VM_VIRT_MEM','VM_CPU_COUNT', 'VM_TOTAL_DISK','VM_PROVISIONED_DISK');
BEGIN
--IF :WHICHCHART IS NULL THEN
--RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20001,'Chart variable not set');
--END IF;
chart_series_data := null;
chart_series_data := '      <data>'||chr(10);
chart_series_data := chart_series_data|| '        <series name="Hosts Number" type="Line" color="0x1D8BD1" >'||chr(10);
for c1 in (SELECT VM_REPORT_DATE LABEL,VM_HOSTS_NUM from TABLE where VM_REPORT_DATE between add_months(SYSDATE,-24) and SYSDATE and lower(VM_DCNAME)=lower(:WHICHCHART) )
loop
chart_series_data := chart_series_data || '<point name="'||c1.LABEL||'" ';
chart_series_data := chart_series_data || 'y="'||c1.VM_HOSTS_NUM||'"></point> '||chr(10);
end loop;
chart_series_data := chart_series_data|| '      </series>'||chr(10)||'</data>';
:PROD_DATA := chart_series_data;
END;
The : production variable at the end of this I want to change the name of based on the value I'm sending of WHICHCHART from the javascript. I hope this is clearer now.
AGAIN this is not really a need. It is a want to be able to create dynamic bind variable names going forward.
Thanks

Bind variable for view accessor

I am using a Gantt chart where I need to pass in a date field for the schedule as a bind variable.
Since this is a Gantt chart, there is no iterator binding for the child VO (the tasks) in my page definition.
    <gantt IterBinding="ParentVO1Iterator" id="ParentsVO1" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfm/dvt">
      <ganttDataMap>
        <nodeDefinition DefName="com.pat.model.view.ParentsVO" type="Resources">
          <AttrNames>
            <Item Value="ParentId" type="resourceId"/>
          </AttrNames>
          <Accessors>
            <Item Value="MainGantt" type="tasks"/>
          </Accessors>
        </nodeDefinition>
        <nodeDefinition type="Tasks" DefName="com.pat.model.view.MainGantt">
          <AttrNames>
            <Item Value="PatId" type="taskId"/>
            <Item Value="StartTimeDate" type="startTime"/>
            <Item Value="EndTimeDate" type="endTime"/>
            <Item Value="Patname" type="label"/>
          </AttrNames>
        </nodeDefinition>
I have tried retrieving the accessor through the parent VO, and setting the bind variable.
But I get an error if I fire executeQuery() on the child VO that says that the bind variable for the view link is missing.
        DCIteratorBinding iter = dcBindings.findIteratorBinding("ParentVO1Iterator"); // get parent iterator binding
        ViewObject vo = iter.getViewObject();
        MainGanttImpl childVO = (MainGanttImpl)vo.findAttributeDef("MainGantt").getAccessorVO(vo); //get the child VO through the accessor link
        childVO.setpViewDate(new Timestamp(((Date)getGanttDate().getValue()).getTime())); // get the date entered by the user and set to the child VO
        childVO.executeQuery(); //execute the child VO
Exposing the child VO impl through the Application module and setting the bind variable to that instance alone has no impact on the Gantt data returned.

We researched a bit more and hit upon the solution here.
Decompiling ADF Binaries: Search by child attributes on a tree table
I added the same bind variable to my parent VO (and added some SQL 'and : pViewDate = : pViewDate' to the query to just get it to work )
In the parent VO Impl class, I overrode the createViewLinkAccessorRS method:
   protected ViewRowSetImpl createViewLinkAccessorRS(AssociationDefImpl assocDef,
                                                      ViewObjectImpl accessorVO,
                                                      Row masterRow,
                                                      Object[] values) {
            ViewRowSetImpl v =
            super.createViewLinkAccessorRS(assocDef, accessorVO, masterRow,
                                           values);
      // Timestamp viewDate = (Timestamp )accessorVO.getNamedWhereClauseParam("pViewDate");
        v.setNamedWhereClauseParam("pViewDate", getpViewDate());
        return v;
public Timestamp getpViewDate() {
        return (Timestamp) getNamedWhereClauseParam("pViewDate");
This sets the child VO with the value of the bind variable that I have set to my parent VO. This got the Gantt working!

Report Performance with Bind Variable

Getting some very odd behaviour with a report in APEX v 3.2.1.00.10
I have a complex query that takes 5 seconds to return via TOAD, but takes from 5 to 10 minutes in an APEX report.
I've narrowed it down to one particular bind. If I hard code the date in it returns in 6 seconds, but if I let the date be passed in from a parameter it takes 5+ minutes again.
Relevant part of the query (an inline view) is:
,(select rglr_lect lect
,sum(tpm) mtr_tpm
,sum(enrols) mtr_enrols
from ops_dash_meetings_report
where meet_ev_date between to_date(:P35_END_DATE,'DD/MM/YYYY') - 363 and to_date(:P35_END_DATE,'DD/MM/YYYY')
group by rglr_lect) RPV
I've tried replacing the "to_date(:P35_END_DATE,'DD/MM/YYYY') - 363" with another item which is populated with the date required (and verified by checking session state). If I replace the :P35_END_DATE with an actual date the performance is fine again.
The weird thing is that a trace file shows me exactly the same Explain Plan as the TOAD Explain where it runs in 5 seconds.
Another odd thing is that another page in my application has the same inline view and doesn't hit the performance problem.
The trace file did show some control characters (circumflex M) after each line of this report's query where these weren't anywhere else on the trace queries. I wondered if there was some sort of corruption in the source?
No problems due to pagination as the result set is only 31 records and all being displayed.
Really stumped here. Any advice or pointers would be most welcome.
Jon.

Don't worry about the Time column, the cost and cardinality are more important to see whther the CBO is making different decisions for whatever reason.
Remember that the explain plan shows the expected execution plan and a trace shows the actual execution plan. So what you want to do is compare the query with bind variables from an APEX page trace to a trace from TOAD (or sqlplus or whatever). You can do this outside APEX like this...
ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS '10046 trace name context forever, level 1';Enter and run your SQL statement...;
ALTER SESSION SET sql_trace=FALSE;This will create a a trace file in the directory returned by...
SELECT value FROM v$parameter WHERE name = 'user_dump_dest' Which you can use tkprof to format.
I am assuming that your not going over DB links or anything else slightly unusual?
Cheers

How to Dene a Data Link Between Queries: Bind Variables

This is an interesting topic and I cannot get it to work using Bind Variables.

Can I use bind variable instaed of writing static COLUMN Name

Hi , I am having a table containing id and column names, the data is stored against that id in other tables. Now I wish to update data into another table so that it goes into apppropriate column without using decode function.
I am trying to do this:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'update TEST set :1 = :2
where PROJECT_ID= :3 and UNIQUE_ID= :4' using P_DEST_COLUMN, P_TEXT_VALUE, P_PROJ_ID, P_TASK_UID;
the values P_DEST_COLUMN, P_TEXT_VALUE, P_PROJ_ID, P_TASK_UID are populated using a cursor in PL/SQl
Is this statement valid? If not can you tell me how to do it as I am getting some error I am unable to comprehend.
thanks
Rishabh

Column names cannot be substituted at run-time as bind variables. If you need to specify the column name at run-time, you'd need to construct a new string and execute that string dynamically, i.e.
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'UPDATE test SET ' || p_dest_column || ' = :1 ' || ...From a data model standpoint, storing column names as data elements in another table is generally a rather poor idea. It's likely to make ad-hoc reporting nearly impossible and to cause a lot more parsing than would otherwise be required.

Dynamic sql and bind variables

Hi,
I have a stored procedure which filters a table on 5 five columns. The filters come from the input parameters,
and these 5 parameters can come in any combination, I mean some of them may be null and some of them may not be null.
So I constructed the where filter of the query with IF blocks like the following:
dynamic_query := 'select * from TESTTABLE where 1= 1';
IF (P1 is not null) THEN
dynamic_query := dynamic_query || ' AND column1 = :1';
END IF;
IF (P2 is not null) THEN
dynamic_query := dynamic_query || ' AND column2 = :2';
END IF;
IF (P3 is not null) THEN
dynamic_query := dynamic_query || ' AND column3 = :3';
END IF;
IF (P4 is not null) THEN
dynamic_query := dynamic_query || ' AND column4 = :4';
END IF;
IF (P5 is not null) THEN
dynamic_query := dynamic_query || ' AND column5 = :5';
END IF;
OPEN CUR_OUT FOR dynamic_query USING P1, P2, P3, P4, P5;
The problem is how can I construct the USING and bind parameters, I cannot use "USING P1, P2, P3, P4, P5" because some of bind variables
may not be in dynamic query if the input parameters are null. Is there a way to overcome this problem without writing all the 2 ^ 5 combinations?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

here it is in the Tomer Cohen way:
IF (P1 is not null) THEN
dynamic_query := dynamic_query || ' AND column1 = :1';
ELSE
dynamic_query := dynamic_query || ' AND :1 IS NULL';
END IF;
IF (P2 is not null) THEN
dynamic_query := dynamic_query || ' AND column2 = :2';
ELSE
dynamic_query := dynamic_query || ' AND :2 IS NULL';
END IF;
IF (P3 is not null) THEN
dynamic_query := dynamic_query || ' AND column3 = :3';
ELSE
dynamic_query := dynamic_query || ' AND :3 IS NULL';
END IF;
IF (P4 is not null) THEN
dynamic_query := dynamic_query || ' AND column4 = :4';
ELSE
dynamic_query := dynamic_query || ' AND :4 IS NULL';
END IF;
IF (P5 is not null) THEN
dynamic_query := dynamic_query || ' AND column5 = :5';
ELSE
dynamic_query := dynamic_query || ' AND -1 = :5';
END IF;
OPEN CUR_OUT FOR dynamic_query USING P1, P2, P3, P4, P5;Amiel Davis

Using bind variable in dynamic where clause and concatenate with query

Hi,
In my procedure i am framing where clause dynamically with bind variable,When i am concatenate this with my sql query for REF CURSOR i got sql command not properly ended exception.
Is it possible to pass values to the bind variable through the dynamic variable/value?
Please advise

How to update bind variable and restrict values in a Model Driven LOV?

Hi Guys,
Using JDev 11.1.1.2.0
I've recreated an excellent Frank Nimphius article about restricting values derived from a model driven LOV (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/44-restrict-lov-169186.pdf)
But my bind variable isn't updating. Deleting the bind variable gets me the entire LOV. Activate the code below and insert a bind variable into the where clause like Frank says and I get nothing back. Bind variable is blank. Any ideas? Code wasn't supplied with the article. It seems simple enough but the bind variable isn't updating in the SQL, even though the updated value shows up here...
public void onLovLaunch(LaunchPopupEvent launchPopupEvent)
    BindingContext bctx = BindingContext.getCurrent();
    BindingContainer bindings = bctx.getCurrentBindingsEntry();
    FacesCtrlLOVBinding lov = (FacesCtrlLOVBinding)bindings.get("DepartmentId");
    lov.getListIterBinding().getViewObject().setNamedWhereClauseParam("deptId","60");
    System.out.println("lov name: " + lov.getName().toString());
    System.out.println("lov Param Attrs: " + lov.getListIterBinding().getViewObject().getNamedWhereClauseParams().getAttribute("deptId").toString());
    System.out.println("lov View Object: " + lov.getListIterBinding().getViewObject().getName().toString());
    System.out.println("lov IterBinding: " + lov.getListIterBinding().getName().toString());
   }Gets me ...
lov name: DepartmentId
lov Param Attrs: 60
lov View Object: _LOCAL_VIEW_USAGE_lov_model_queries_EmployeesView_DepartmentsView
lov IterBinding: DepartmentIdList_2

That's a good idea, but it's still not working. Here is how I implemented it. It might be different from your suggestion as I'm still pretty new to this.
I have a recursive tree table. You select a node. You then click a button which calls the listener below. "findParents" is a method call to the AppModuleImpl class and it finds all parent nodes of your selection. "restrictPartBomLOV", also of the AppModuleImpl class, then modifies the model driven lists' View Object (partBomLOV) to exclude those parent node values.
The resulting model driven LOV on the popup should be updated, yeah? But it still isn't udpating. If I manually type in the updated Where clause in PartBomLOV.xml query tab, it works, but it doesn't programmatically.
public void insertPopupFetchListener(PopupFetchEvent popupFetchEvent)
    BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
    OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("findParents");
    parents = (List)operationBinding.execute();
    operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("restrictPartBomLOV");
    operationBinding.execute();
   public void restrictPartBomLOV(List parents)
      ViewObjectImpl vo = getPartBomLOV();
      String wcl = "";
      Object[]   p = parents.toArray();
      for(int i = 0; i < p.length; i++)
         if (i == 0)
            wcl = wcl + "PNUM <> '" + p.toString() + "'";
else
wcl = wcl + "AND PNUM <> '" + p[i].toString() + "'";
vo.setWhereClause(wcl);
System.out.println(vo.getWhereClause().toString());
vo.executeQuery();

Can Oracle convert literals to bind variables?

Good morning everyone.
I have a procedure similar to this in our database:
    FUNCTION Get_Tag_Element_Id_For_Set(Element_Attr_Id_Table_In   in    ATTRIBUTE_TABLE_ID_TAB) RETURN NUMBER IS
      v_Select_Statement                    VARCHAR2(32767);
      v_Element_Id                             ELEMENT.Element_Id%TYPE;
    BEGIN
      FOR I IN 1..Element_Attr_Id_Table_In.COUNT LOOP
        IF v_Select_Statement IS NULL THEN
          v_Select_Statement := 'SELECT distinct Element_Id FROM ELEMENT_ATTRIBUTE_MANY_2_MANY WHERE Element_Attribute_Id = ' || Element_Attr_Id_Tab_In(i);
        ELSE
          v_Select_Statement := v_Select_Statement || ' intersect ' ||
                                'SELECT distinct Element_Id FROM ELEMENT_ATTRIBUTE_MANY_2_MANY WHERE Element_Attribute_Id = ' || Element_Attr_Id_Table_In(i);
        END IF;
      END LOOP;
      EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_Select_Statement INTO v_Element_id;
      RETURN v_Element_Id;
    END;What this does is to create a query similar to this:
SELECT distinct Element_Id FROM ELEMENT_ATTRIBUTE_MANY_2_MANY WHERE Tag_Element_Attribute_Id = 1 intersect
SELECT distinct Element_Id FROM ELEMENT_ATTRIBUTE_MANY_2_MANY WHERE Tag_Element_Attribute_Id = 2 intersect
SELECT distinct Element_Id FROM ELEMENT_ATTRIBUTE_MANY_2_MANY WHERE Tag_Element_Attribute_Id = 3 intersect
SELECT distinct Element_Id FROM ELEMENT_ATTRIBUTE_MANY_2_MANY WHERE Tag_Element_Attribute_Id = 4 intersect
SELECT distinct Element_Id FROM ELEMENT_ATTRIBUTE_MANY_2_MANY WHERE Tag_Element_Attribute_Id = 5;
I am using Dynamic SQL because the number of intersect pieces can vary from 1 to 15 and in the future it can grow.
The problem that I have is that because the literals are part of the string, the query is being hard parsed every single time. In our production environment this means 100s of thousands of times per day which according to our DBA has added 15% plus to our average load. I know that I can come up with a rewrite to avoid this, but I was wondering if there is a parameter I can set at the session or at the database level where the database itself can convert this kind of query into one with bind variables.
Thanks,
Tom

Basically I have an XML document.
The document has ELEMENTS.
ELEMENTS can have attributes.
There is a many to many relationship between ELEMENT and ATTRIBUTES so I have a XREF table to represent this relationship.
When I receive a new document, I need to determine if a group of ATTRIBUTES already exist together in the XREF table so I have to find their common ELEMENT_ID or NULL in which case I would create a new ELEMENT and associate the new set of attributes to the new ELEMENT.
Since the number of attributes can vary from 1 to around 15 for now, I had to dynamically build the query that find the common ID(intersect) if it exists.
Here is some DDL and inserts:
CREATE TABLE ELEMENT(ELEMENT_ID NUMBER NOT NULL);
CREATE TABLE ELEMENT_ELEMENT_ATTRIBUTE_XREF(Element_Id NUMBER NOT NULL, Element_Attribute_Id NUMBER NOT NULL);
ALTER TABLE ELEMENT_ELEMENT_ATTRIBUTE_XREF ADD CONSTRAINT ELEMENT_ATTR_MANY_2_MANY_PK PRIMARY KEY(Element_Id, Element_Attribute_Id);
ALTER TABLE ELEMENT ADD CONSTRAINT ELEMENT_PK PRIMARY KEY(Element_Id);
INSERT INTO ELEMENT VALUES(1);
INSERT INTO ELEMENT VALUES(2);
INSERT INTO ELEMENT VALUES(3);
INSERT INTO ELEMENT VALUES(4);
INSERT INTO ELEMENT_ELEMENT_ATTRIBUTE_XREF VALUES(1, 1);
INSERT INTO ELEMENT_ELEMENT_ATTRIBUTE_XREF VALUES(1, 2);
INSERT INTO ELEMENT_ELEMENT_ATTRIBUTE_XREF VALUES(2, 1);
INSERT INTO ELEMENT_ELEMENT_ATTRIBUTE_XREF VALUES(3, 1);
INSERT INTO ELEMENT_ELEMENT_ATTRIBUTE_XREF VALUES(3, 3);
INSERT INTO ELEMENT_ELEMENT_ATTRIBUTE_XREF VALUES(3, 4);
INSERT INTO ELEMENT_ELEMENT_ATTRIBUTE_XREF VALUES(3, 5);
INSERT INTO ELEMENT_ELEMENT_ATTRIBUTE_XREF VALUES(4, 6);
INSERT INTO ELEMENT_ELEMENT_ATTRIBUTE_XREF VALUES(4, 7);
So for instance if I passed an array (Attribute ID Tab) containing ELEMENT_ATTRIBUTE_ID list 6 and 7 I would get 4 as the answer.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
TomAwesome, thanks!
I'm not sure this works 100% for what you need, but I thought I'd give it a shot. I've used a built in array (sys.odcinumberlist) that you should have access to on your installation (assuming you have a relatively recent version of Oracle).
I left out the part where you would loop through the array you are currently passing in to your procedure to build up this new array that you can use in a SQL statement.
Cheers,
create or replace procedure maybe_this
   in_list           sys.odcinumberlist
is
   l_commonality     number;
begin
   begin
      select
         distinct
            xref.element_id
      into
         l_commonality
      from
            table(cast(in_list as sys.odcinumberlist)) list
        , element_element_attribute_xref   xref
      where
         xref.element_attribute_id = list.column_value;
      dbms_output.put_line('match on element_id = ' || l_commonality);
   exception
      when too_many_rows or no_data_found
      then
         dbms_output.put_line('no match');
   end;
end;

Null check for a bind variable in view criteria

Hi, Greetings.
I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.2.0.
I have a view object, LocationsView, for locations table of the XE database.
I want to apply a condition, ((:bind_var is null) or (:bind_var is not null and location_id = :bind_var), in this LocationsView.
That is, I want to apply the condition only if the bind variable value is not null.
How can I construct this condition using a declarative view criteria?
Any help and hints on this regard is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Guru K

Hi,
Thanks for the update and it is working perfectly fine.
Now, how can I set the "ignore null values" option as checked if I am constructing the criteria programmatically using view criteria row and view criteria item at runtime.
Thanks and regards,
Guru K
