Binding an SQL "where" clause to a field in the report.

Hello everybody,
I have made a crystal report that works fine. Now, I need to add a specific query to the report and drag and drop the returned fields in the report.
The problem is that I need to add a query that contains a "Where" clause that is binded to a field already existing in the report, for example :
SELECT T0.Field1,
T0.Field2,
T0.Field3
FROM Table1 T0
WHERE T0.Field4=(a field from a report)
Is it possible to do it ? if yes, how can I do it.
Thank you in advance for your further responds,
Best Regards,
- Youssef -

Moved to Report Design forum
You can't do it in that specific way. It would have to be done server side or use a subreport and then link the subreport on the field from the main report.

Column Headings in the report and adding an extra field to the report

Hi All.
I had an issue like i need to put column headings for a report and I want to add an extra field to the report.
The problem here is that the report was actually cloned from a Query.At the time of cloning,they forgot to add the column headings.
Now we need to add the column headings for the same.How can we proceed for this and where we need to add our code?
How to add an extra field to the existing report?
Any pointers will be very much helpful.
Regards,
SSR.

Hi,
you can get this done in 2 ways:
1 - Change the query to add another column and the re-generate the report
2 - If changing query is not possible, you can change the report it self for adding extra field. If you look at the code, it will be more like normal ABAP code. you can easily modify it (If you are ABAPer) for your additional requirements.
thnx,
ags.

How to insert a new field in the Report Designer

Hi all.
I have a query and a report, but the query evolve.
We have a new key figure (inside rows).
In the report designer, I check the data provider.
The new key figure is added in the catalog field.
Now, I would like to insert the new field in the report.
I add a new row in the report structure but it isnt what I want.
In this case, I add a second row inside an another keys figures block.
I want to create a new block for my new key figure
Thanks for your help
Céline

Yes, key figures is in the field catalog.
But When I do that " Insert a row ", Report designer create a " row 2 " below another key figures.
And it isn't what I want. I want a new block .
For exemple in the tab report structure (My new key figure is "Margin")
I do that
Group Level 1 : key figures
         Detail Area
                  Sales Amount
                               row1
                                      cell1
                                      cell2
                  Cost
                               row1
                                      cell1
                                      cell2
                               row2 ( the new row added)
                                      cell1
                                      cell2
But I want that:
Group Level 1 : key figures
         Detail Area
                  Sales Amount
                               row1
                                      cell1
                                      cell2
                  Cost
                               row1
                                      cell1

Sending reports to various recipients using a data field on the report

Hi,
I am currently running Crystal Reports Server 2008 with SP 3 applied.
I was wondering if this was possible.
I have a report that I would like to be sent to an email address field on the table that the report runs from. Fields are something like this:
Amount Due, Invoice #, Client's email address, Date
What I would like CRS to do is send out emails depending on what's on the table. Obviously I would need the server to send out the report to a particular client with only the records that should be for them.
I, for some reason, thought there was an ability to add a field from the report on the email itself using brackets or some sort of variable but I'm not sure if this is true.
If anyone can help, I would appreciate it greatly.
Thanks!

You can use Publications for that. As far as I know this should be supported natively in CRS 2008 with SP3.
Take a look at the demo on building a data-driver publication here:
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sap-crystal-solutions/information-infrastructure/sapcrystalserver/featuresfunctions/index.epx
You have to have CALs (concurrent access licenses) though.

Crystal Report Bursting based on a field in the report

Hi,
I have a crystal report with Invoice Number as a field in it. I need to burst the report with following as the output.
1. Destination: FTP server
2. Format : PDF : One PDF for every invoice.
I was trying to use Publication through Infoview. I would like to know how to achieve this.
I do not have any parameters in the report or any group of users/recipients. Hence, I have not created any Profiles.
Thanks in advance.
Girish

Add your CR report as source document and then choose to have Dynamic recipients for your publication. Use there as source for the recipients' list the same report you want to burst. As Recipient identifier select the field that contains the invoice ID.
In the personalization panel go to the Filters area and select in the Report field drop down your invoice field from the report. In the Dynamic recipients mapping drop down select again the field containing the invoice ID.
Select the appropriate settings in the destination and format panels and let at least on BO user subscribe to the publication .
After that you can run the publication.

Adding the G/L description field in the report FAGLL03

Dear all
I would like to add the G/L description field in the report FAGLL03. Can you tell me how this can be done.
Many thanks
PG

Hi Peter,
You can do the changes as per Moeze suggestion.
What we have did is that we have writeen a exit in substitution rule for the offsetting G/L code (assumptioning that you want the description for offsetting g/l code).
We have added the offsetting g/l code in special feild and accordingly the system displays the corresponding description of the offsetting g/l code.
Try it,it will work.
If not do revert for the needful.
Take Crae

I want to add some fields in the report of FBL5N, Can anybody tell me how ?

I want to add some fields in the report of FBL5N, Can anybody tell me how to do it?
The fields are sales order, delivery, order quantity, net value and others.
I can only find the shipment number in FI document.
Thank you very much.

Dear Jie,
Billing document number can be displayed in customer line item display
(FBL5N) and not in G/L line item display (FBL3N).
The value of VBELN is saved in table BSEG. So, this means, you
have to define the field BSEG-VBELN as a special field in table
T021S. Then you can use it in FBL3N, because then the report looks
directly in BSEG-VBELN.
For further information,please read the SAP note 207436. You don't have to
implement the coding corrections, if they are already in your system
with the hotpackage. But it explains very detailed the system
behaviour. The example in the note with field EBELN could be
replicated on your field VBELN.
About the MEINS field, please refer to 1-U_MEINS (bseg-meins field).
The SAP note 215798 may also be helpful.

[Solved] Named Bind Variables at Runtime - SQL WHERE clause issue

Hey 'all,
I've been having this issue today with a Search page using Named Bind Variables at Runtime for the search parameters for the WHERE clause in the view objects SQL.
I've got everything working except for a clearing method which I've created so that the user can clear the current WHERE clause from the SQL statment and set it as 1=2 (so that it doesn't do a blind query on load).
The method can clear and set the WHERE clause to 1=2 only when there is already one there.
Below are the methods: (located in my view object class)
public void findInvoiceById(Number invoiceId){
    setWhereClause("invoice_id = :P_INVOICE_ID");
    defineNamedWhereClauseParam("P_INVOICE_ID",null,null);
    setNamedWhereClauseParam("P_INVOICE_ID",invoiceId);
    executeQuery();
public void clearCriteria(){
    setWhereClause("1=2");
    removeNamedWhereClauseParam("P_INVOICE_ID");
    executeQuery();
}The error which I get is the following - this happens when the button is pressed twice in a row, or when no query has been passed previously.
1. JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: oracle.jbo.NoDefException, msg=JBO-25058: Definition P_INVOICE_ID of type Variable not found in SupplierInvoicesView1
2. JBO-25058: Definition P_INVOICE_ID of type Variable not found in SupplierInvoicesView1
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,

Hi Bonnie,
we have it working ok, but still feel that there is room for improvement in the design.
For us the key factors are:
Pages based on the same view object that can be queried multiple ways.
We don't want to put design time bind variables in because it limits the use of the VO
We don't wan't multiple VO's with different where clauses.
The page is displaying the same table columns and fields, but the where clause must be dynamic.
We only want to query on the search field entered (some of our tables are massive)
TopLink named queries are really what we are after, but we don't want to forgo all the other ADF BC functionality. The only examples of ViewCriteria in the developer guide had literals in the where clause and no bind variables. The View Criteria may still be an option, but it appeared quite complex compaired to directly adding and removing bind variables at runtime.
a couple of footnotes:
the following methods are used to clear the runtime variables prior to reusing the VO (thanks to John Stegman for the pointer on the exception handler):
    public void clearBindVariable(String bindVariableName){
        try
            removeNamedWhereClauseParam(bindVariableName);
        catch (NoDefException e)
    public void clearBindVariables(){
        clearBindVariable("P_INVOICE_ID");
        clearBindVariable("P_INVOICE_NUM");
        clearBindVariable("P_SUPPLIER_NAME");
        clearBindVariable("P_INVOICE_DATE_FROM");
        clearBindVariable("P_INVOICE_DATE_TO");
        clearBindVariable("P_SUPPLIER_NUMBER");
    }We are using 1=1 and 1=2 in the where clause to supress blind querying. 1=2 is applied when ever we are not explicitely searching for something. We had a problem with using the refresh condition ${adfFacesContext.postback == true} which I posted about here:
executeQuery called twice using ${adfFacesContext.postback == true}
Would still gladly hear other ideas on a better reuse design.
regards,
Brenden

Bind variable as where clause

hello,
we want to build an dynamic sql IR. so when a user logs into our application we have an page process that fills an application item :F_ITEM_WHERE with part of the where clause from an IR. On the page with the IR we have as region source something similiar to:
SELECT test_api_per_cus.get_per_name(id_per_cus) as Customer,
test_api_per_cus.get_per_cus_nr(id_per_cus) as "Cus.-Nr",
vtr_nr AS "VS-Nr."
id_vtr,
id_per_cus
FROM test_vtr
WHERE test_vtr.id_grp = :F_ID_GRP
AND test_vtr.id_per_cus IN
*(SELECT id_per_cus*
FROM viva_per_cus
WHERE LEVEL BETWEEN test_api_per_emo_r_tree.get_per_emp_r_tree_from(:F_ID_PER_EMP,
*:F_ID_GRP) AND*
test_api_per_emp_r_tree.get_per_mit_r_tree_to(:F_ID_PER_EMP,
*:F_ID_GRP)*
START WITH per_cus_nr =
test_api_per_emp_r_tree.get_per_emp_r_tree_tree(:F_ID_PER_EMP,
*:F_ID_GRP)*
CONNECT BY PRIOR per_cus_nr = per_cus_number
AND PRIOR id_grp = :F_ID_GRP)
AND EXISTS
so we want outsourcing the marked part of the where clause into :F_ITEM_WHERE. The result is as following:
SELECT test_api_per_cus.get_per_name(id_per_cus) as Customer,
test_api_per_cus.get_per_cus_nr(id_per_cus) as "Cus.-Nr",
vtr_nr AS "VS-Nr."
id_vtr,
id_per_cus
FROM test_vtr
WHERE test_vtr.id_grp = :F_ID_GRP
AND test_vtr.id_per_cus IN *|| :F_ITEM_WHERE ||*
AND EXISTS
Here says Apex that the Query cannot be parsed...if we fill the item plus 'AND test_vtr.id_per_cus IN' so our statement looks like this:
SELECT test_api_per_cus.get_per_name(id_per_cus) as Customer,
test_api_per_cus.get_per_cus_nr(id_per_cus) as "Cus.-Nr",
vtr_nr AS "VS-Nr."
id_vtr,
id_per_cus
FROM test_vtr
WHERE test_vtr.id_grp = :F_ID_GRP
*:F_ITEM_WHERE*
AND EXISTS
the query can parse but after that running apex says: bind :F_ITEM_WHERE not possible
Anyone got an solution for this? I think it´s only a syntax thing or something...
Thanks Daniel

When posting code on the forum, put {noformat}{noformat} (with the curly brackets and the word code in lowercase) above and below your code like this...
{noformat}{noformat}
SELECT *
FROM emp
{noformat}{noformat}
It will then appear like this, preserving formatting...SELECT *
FROM emp
Please post your code, properly formatted of +exactly+ what you have put in the region source. I'm not convinced that you need dynamic SQL at all.

PL/SQL: how to use in parameter in select sql where clause

Hi
in a procedure, I need to apply 'in parameter' in 'where clause' along with other table fields. Purpose is to create dynamic select querry with multiple conditions.
select count(*) from table xx
where y_code=2008 and v_type in ('SI', 'TI', 'DI') ;
my requirement is replace 'and v_type in ('SI', 'TI', 'DI')' with in parameter. pls note in paramter may contain null value.
Regards

... e.g. why on earth do you want to pass in a string to be appended to the WHERE clause of an SQL.I second that and I strongly advice NOT to do it. If you really want to do it, then come back and show us, how you would prevent SQL injection. This approach is too dangerous (and too complex) IMHO.
Do it straight forward as in the article of Tom Kyte (link in the post of BluShadow above)

Prompted value corrupts SQL WHERE clause - bug?

Using 10.1.3.4...
I implemented a simple pivot based request that navigates to a second request when the user drill down on one of the fields. This field is set to "value is prompted" in my second request. (I chose navigate method above drill (dimensions) for a few reasons not really important to this posting, mainly to do with format of requests at different levels)
All good and the drill down works well, parameters are passed correctly, except then I noticed that totals in my second request doesn't accurately tie back to my first request. After some research I found a very odd reason for this, my WHERE clause is getting corrupted - which almost looks like a bug in OBIEE and were wondering if anybody else has seen this behaviour from OBIEE and know a work around (before I try the Oracle support channels)
From Answers the request SQL is (I'll highlight the lines getting messed up):
SET VARIABLE DISABLE_CACHE_HIT = 1;
SELECT
BUSINESS_UNIT.Segment saw_0, BUSINESS_UNIT."Business Unit" saw_1, OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY saw_2, OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY saw_3, YEAR(OPPORTUNITY.ESTIMATEDCLOSE) saw_4, OPPORTUNITY_ADDON.TCV_IN_USD/1000000 saw_5, OPPORTUNITY_ADDON.WEIGHTED_TCV_IN_USD/1000000 saw_6, CASE OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY WHEN 100 THEN OPPORTUNITY_ADDON.TCV_IN_USD/1000000 ELSE 0 END saw_7 FROM "Sales"
WHERE (OPPORTUNITY.STAGE NOT IN ('Lost', 'On Hold')) AND (YEAR(OPPORTUNITY.ESTIMATEDCLOSE) >= YEAR(CURRENT_DATE)) AND
((({color:#ff0000}OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY > 25) AND (TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_MONTH, CURRENT_DATE,OPPORTUNITY.ESTIMATEDCLOSE) <= 4)) OR ((OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY >= 10) AND (TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_MONTH, CURRENT_DATE,OPPORTUNITY.ESTIMATEDCLOSE) > 4{color})))
ORDER BY saw_0, saw_1, saw_2, saw_3, saw_4, saw_5, saw_6, saw_7
Which results in the following SQL request (from NQQuery.log)... The prompted value (BUSINESS_UNIT.Segment) is added correctly to the WHERE clause, but see how the remainder get's changed:
SQL Request:
SET VARIABLE QUERY_SRC_CD='Report',SAW_DASHBOARD='/shared/01 - Financials/_portal/4. Pipeline',SAW_DASHBOARD_PG='Pipeline',SAW_SRC_PATH='/shared/01 - Financials/4. Pipeline/Pipeline - Current - T2',DISABLE_CACHE_HIT = 1;
SELECT
BUSINESS_UNIT.Segment saw_0, BUSINESS_UNIT."Business Unit" saw_1, OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY saw_2, OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY saw_3, YEAR(OPPORTUNITY.ESTIMATEDCLOSE) saw_4, OPPORTUNITY_ADDON.TCV_IN_USD/1000000 saw_5, OPPORTUNITY_ADDON.WEIGHTED_TCV_IN_USD/1000000 saw_6, CASE OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY WHEN 100 THEN OPPORTUNITY_ADDON.TCV_IN_USD/1000000 ELSE 0 END saw_7 FROM "Sales"
WHERE (BUSINESS_UNIT.Segment = 'Enterprise') AND (OPPORTUNITY.STAGE NOT IN ('Lost', 'On Hold')) AND (YEAR(OPPORTUNITY.ESTIMATEDCLOSE) >= YEAR(CURRENT_DATE)) AND
((({color:#ff0000}OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY >= 10) AND (TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_MONTH, CURRENT_DATE,OPPORTUNITY.ESTIMATEDCLOSE) > 4)) OR ((OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY >= 10) AND (TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_MONTH, CURRENT_DATE,OPPORTUNITY.ESTIMATEDCLOSE) > 4{color})))
ORDER BY saw_0, saw_1, saw_2, saw_3, saw_4, saw_5, saw_6, saw_7
Which definitely explains why my totals do not add up when drilling down. Interestingly, if I run my second request without the prompt from Answers, the SQL request works like a charm:
SET VARIABLE QUERY_SRC_CD='Report',SAW_SRC_PATH='/shared/01 - Financials/4. Pipeline/Pipeline - Current - T2',DISABLE_CACHE_HIT = 1;
SELECT BUSINESS_UNIT.Segment saw_0, BUSINESS_UNIT."Business Unit" saw_1, OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY saw_2, OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY saw_3, YEAR(OPPORTUNITY.ESTIMATEDCLOSE) saw_4, OPPORTUNITY_ADDON.TCV_IN_USD/1000000 saw_5, OPPORTUNITY_ADDON.WEIGHTED_TCV_IN_USD/1000000 saw_6, CASE OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY WHEN 100 THEN OPPORTUNITY_ADDON.TCV_IN_USD/1000000 ELSE 0 END saw_7 FROM "Sales"
WHERE (OPPORTUNITY.STAGE NOT IN ('Lost', 'On Hold')) AND (YEAR(OPPORTUNITY.ESTIMATEDCLOSE) >= YEAR(CURRENT_DATE)) AND
((({color:#ff0000}OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY > 25) AND (TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_MONTH, CURRENT_DATE,OPPORTUNITY.ESTIMATEDCLOSE) <= 4)) OR ((OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY >= 10) AND (TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_MONTH, CURRENT_DATE,OPPORTUNITY.ESTIMATEDCLOSE) > 4{color})))
ORDER BY saw_0, saw_1, saw_2, saw_3, saw_4, saw_5, saw_6, saw_7
Anybody had the same problem before?

Here's the excerpt (it's relative to crashing, but I think it should also address the bug):

Trying to use parameter variable as column identifier in SQL where clause

Hey guys,
Doing a college project... would really appreciate some help. I am trying to use a variable in the where clause of a select cursor in PL/SQL. The code is this:
procedure results(p_search_entry varchar2, p_search_field varchar2) is
cursor c_results is
select * from physics_b where p_search_field = p_search_entry;
begin
for cv_results in c_results
loop
-- loop through actions
end loop;
The problem is that I don't know how to get the where clause to accept the variable passed into the procedure as the field name. Does anyone know the syntax for this?
Thanks very much!

To suit your requirement use ref cursor..
If your database is 9i and upwards you can use sys_refcursor as I have used or else you can declare the cursor shown in the statement below
type c_result is ref cursor;
c_results c_result;
Jus replace these two statement in the example if your oracle database is prior to 9i
Eg:
procedure results(p_search_entry varchar2, p_search_field varchar2) is
qry_stmt VARCHAR2(1000) ;
c_results sys_refcursor;
begin
qry_stmt := 'select * from physics_b where '||p_search_field|| '='|| p_search_entry
open c_results for qry_stmt
loop
<fetch as like normal cursor>
<ur normal cursor operation etc....>
end loop;
end results;
Sorry I posted twice

Setting bind values in where clause in ViewObjectImpl

We want customize our views in a special manner. To look up for instance a text in the session langauge, we add a bind variable to the declared where clause of a VO:
and text.lang = :lang
Let's suppose, the actual value of the session language be known within ViewObjectImplementations. I want to set the bind value transparently within the ViewObjectImplementation rather than having to do it in every UI related client using this VO. Until now, I set the bind value whenever getViewObject or BuildWhereClause is called. This is sufficient for the AM Tester, but not for JClient forms using this VO (as a Not-all-values-bound exception is thrown), and I am not able to figure out by the documentation which methods of a VO are called when it is created and queried by a JClient form.

See this web log posting on providing automatic default values for VO bind variables:

Apex 4.0 Image Buttons to update SQL Where clause of Report?

I made a table called Letters with 1 column in it called Letter and the data in it is simply A,B,C, to H. I made an apex form around this table and then created two image buttons A and B that display above the reporting area b/c i want to be able to click on the A image button and have it update the Where clause for the Letters table to be "Where Letter = A" (so once you click the A button, only the A will appear), same for the B button. I have attached a link to an album of images to show what i'm trying to do to better explain it. I just can't figure out what or how to make it so that the image button can update the where clause. I should note that i am relatively new to Apex and i tried using a dynamic action to do it but can't get this to work.
Link to images of what i have so far-> http://imgur.com/a/guxkd/oracle_apex_40_use_image_buttons
Any suggestions?

Since you are using some kind of button(with images or otherwise) , add some attributes to identify them together aswell as uniquely.
For instance if you add a name and an a common classname to each button
For example, in button attributes for A this could be
name="A" class="where_clause_button"You can use these attributes to trigger a Dynamic action which can refresh the report.
Since you want the report to be filtered based on the button(ie using the "name" attribute of the corresponding button) , you need to set that value in some hidden item, say P100_FILTER_LETTER. and add a where clase to your Report Region' SQL Query
WHERE <column name> = :P100_FILTER_LETTERNow create a Dynamic Action as
Event :Click
Triggering Element : jQuery selector
Selector : *.where_clause_button*
<li>True action 1 : Execute Javascript code
filter_item_name = 'P100_FILTER_LETTER'
this_button_name = $(this.triggeringElement).attr('name');
//Set session state of Hidden Item before refresh
var ajaxRequest=new htmldb_Get(null,$v('pFlowId'),'null',$v('pFlowStepId'));
ajaxRequest.add( filter_item_name ,this_button_name );
var ajaxResult=ajaxRequest.get();<li> True Action 2: Refresh
Affected Element: Region
Name : Choose Report Region Name
Hope it helps
