Can't define columns

Has anyone had problems with defining columns in pages. I went through the process of opening the "Inspector", selecting layout icon and the clicking on the title layout, but when I go to put how many columns I want nothing will type. I just get a bong sound like I'm doing something wrong. HELP!

Before you try to set the number of columns, make sure your cursor is in a part of the document where columns make sense, and where you want the multiple columns to be. If you're in Word Processing Mode, put the cursor in the body by clicking there. If you're in Page Layout Mode, put your cursor in a text box, then set columns.

How can I access user defined column(in query) inside the trigger?

Hi
I have 3 unions and each query displays different records on some criteria. I also have a column hard-coded
Ex:
select a.col1, a.col2,
add as update
from table1 a
where ...
union
select a.col1, a.col2,
change as update
from table1 a
where ...
union
select a.col1, a.col2,
del as update
from table1 a
where ...
And I need to display a column in the report only if update is Add. I was thinking of writing a format trigger for that field. But I do not know how can I access this user defined column named update in the trigger?
Any help?

Try ":update" minus the double-quotes. Ex:
    IF :update = 'add' THEN
      RETURN(TRUE);
    ELSE
      RETURN FALSE;
    END IF;
You'll want to place your hard-coded values in single-quotes. Ex:
    select a.col1, a.col2,
    'add' as update

Can I define a Function as part of the Report?

In an Oracle Report, I want to define a Function, to use in the report query. I defined a Function CALC_DIFFERENCE under Program Units. It compiled OK.
But when I tried to use this function in the query it get them message ORA-00904 “CALC_DIFFERENCE” invalid identifier.
Can I define a Function as part of the Report? Or does it need to be on the database?
Report Builder 9.0.4.0.33
Thanks

You have to put it in the database if you want to use it in your query. The reason is simple: the query runs in the database, so it won't see the function in the Report.
If you really need the function in the report (because it uses other values only known in the report), you have to create a formula column.

Is it Possible to link user defined column of system matrix ?

HI All,
Is it possible to link (with ExtendedObject) user defined column of system matrix?
For Example, In purchase order form, I have added one column called U_ItemCode (through Tools-User Defined Fields-Marketing Doc). I want to give drill down to Item master.
Here is the code:
OColumn = OMatrix.Columns.Item("U_ItemCode")
olink = OColumn.ExtendedObject
olink.LinkedObject = SAPbouiCOM.BoLinkedObject.lf_Items
the last line gives me 'Object refrence not set to an instance of the object' error.
For user form, it works fine (since it has the column defined as LinkedColumn in screen painter). How can we do this in system matrix?
thanks in advance
regards,
Binita

Hi Binita,
nice to see you
i mean the following:
1.) add the field in marketing document lines -> you need this to store the values in database
but this user field column will not have the arrow so we do ...
2.) you also add a linked column to the system matrix. you can copy the values from the udf column
to your manual added column and than you can use the arrow. (maybe you should disabled this column)
the result is you have two columns - the udf column and the linked manual column
i hope you know what i mean - very complicated
regards

Is posible to do a choosefromlist in a user defined column of system matrix

Hi all,
I have a question that i can´t solve. Is posible to do a choosefromlist in a
user defined column of system matrix?How can i do it?and i can use a datatable?How?
Thank you all again!
Regard.

The answer is No , that I know of. The matrix permits ony the it_EDIT, it_COMBO_BOX, PICTURE, and CHECKBOX types. Additionaly it has an LINK_BUTTON type
Choosefrom list works best with UDOs. Which means that you have to create your table and specify it in an UDO in order for the choosefromlist to have access to it.
Maybe there's a manual workaround, like say for instance that if the user clicks the Tab button you can then pop up another screen with a list of items.
Hope it helps!

Tabular model. Define column description to be visible in Excel

Hello,
I edit a Tabular Model in SQL Server Data Tools.
Then I connect to it through Excel, where I see the names of the tables, column and measures.
I would like to see descriptive names of the entities in Excel. There is "Description" field in a model, but Excel still displays the real names of the columns.
I can only do that by setting description in the field parameters in Excel for each pivot table(there are many)
Can I implement such functionality using SQL Server Data Tools fro VS2013 and Excel ?

Hi Ruslan,
According to your description, you created a SQL Server Analysis Services Tabular model project, now you need to define column description to be visible in Excel, right?
In SSAS tabular, there is a measure property Description
that description of the measure. The description will not appear with the measure in a reporting client. Please refer to the link below to see the details.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh230824.aspx
For the tabular model table, the table description property is a text description for the table. In PowerPivot for Excel, if an end-user places the cursor over this table in the field list, the description appears as a tooltip.

Dear Sunil,
Steps To Create New Movement Types in SAP:
How to create movement types? What are the steps involved? When will you recommend a new movement type?
Companies may request a new movement type to differentiate between the inventory posting transaction. For example, 551 scrap movement type. Some company may request to have it as 551 for Internal Scrap and Z51 for External Scrap.
Copy, Change Movement Types
4.6x
Assuming I want to create another movement type Z01.
Transaction OMJJ
Select the standard movement type 201
Click copy, then overwrite the 201 with Z01
Click the Enter button, then click Copy all
Select the new movement type Z01
On the left hand column screen, click Reversal/follow-on movement
Fill in the reversal movement type
For the rest of the options, you can leave it alone or change it depending on your requirement

How can i suppress columns in ALV ?? Will reward points.

Hello Gurus, how can i suppress column in ALV when i`m using the transparent table:
CALL METHOD grid->set_table_for_first_display
      EXPORTING
        i_structure_name = 'ZIANEXE'
        is_layout        = wa_layout
        is_variant       = wa_variant
        i_save           = 'U'
        IT_TOOLBAR_EXCLUDING = LT_EXCLUDE
      CHANGING
        it_outtab        = itab[]
        it_fieldcatalog = fieldcat.
Please help.

in the fieldcatalog you are providing there is a field NO_OUT use this.
Loop over internal table and check fieldname. If fieldname = column you want to hide, NO_OUT = 'X'.

Can we use Column Names in Parameter Cursor

Hi
can we use Column Names in Parameter Cursor??
DECLARE
CURSOR Emp_Cur (P_Deptno NUMBER)
IS
SELECT Empno, Ename
FROM Emp
WHERE Deptno = P_Deptno;
BEGIN
FOR Emp IN Emp_Cur(10)
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The Employee Number is: '||emp.Empno);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The Employee Name is: '||emp.Ename);
END LOOP;
FOR Emp IN Emp_Cur(20)
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The Employee Number is: '||emp.Empno);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The Employee Name is: '||emp.Ename);
END LOOP;
END;
In the above Program, I send Deptnumber. If i send Column names like Empno, Ename. What can i do??
If Declare Samething Through Parameter Cursor, it doesn't accept VARCHAR2(Size)

For parameters you don't use size, just the type (DATE, NUMBER, VARCHAR2, CLOB, ...)
DECLARE
CURSOR Emp_Cur (P_Ename VARCHAR2)
IS
    SELECT Empno, Ename
    FROM Emp
    WHERE Ename = P_Ename;
BEGIN
FOR Emp IN Emp_Cur('SCOTT')
LOOP
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The Employee Number is: '||emp.Empno);
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The Employee Name is: '||emp.Ename);
END LOOP;
END;

Hi,
I'm not sure if I understood what are you trying to do. But you can modify your table in a backing bean code. JSF page code for a table:
<af:table id="product_search_results_tbl" binding="#{backingBean.boundTable}" ... />
And a backing bean code:
import oracle.adf.view.faces.component.core.data.CoreTable;
public class YourBackingBean {
    private CoreTable boundTable;
    public void setBoundTable(CoreTable boundTable) {
        this.boundTable = boundTable;
    public CoreTable getBoundTable() {
        return boundTable;
   public String insertButtonAction() {
      // Bind your button action to this method and modify here your bound table
     return null;
{code}
Look for column modification methods in a CoreTable class documentation.
