Column headings in the procedure o/p

Hi,
Oracle 9i
How to include column headings in the procedure o/p ?
also
how to view the procedure o/p in the toad8.5 Data grid instead of DBMS Output screen ? because when I execute the procedure it shows the o/p in the dbms output window but I want to get it reflected in the data grid. How it can be done ?

DBMS_OUTPUT does not work like you think it does. It does not display anything. PL/SQL s/w is incapable of displaying anything on a client. That is the client's job.
DBMS_OUTPUT has a buffer variable. This variable resides in the most expensive memory area of an Oracle database. The PGA. When you do a DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line(), you are merely adding a line of text to this buffer variable.
A client can after a database call was made and executed, query this DBMS_OUTPUT buffer - and display and empty its contents. So in order words, the client makes another database call and reads the DBMS_OUTPUT variable.
The wrong part is this.
1. The client calls your PL/SQL code.
2. You use SQL to pull data from the SGA buffer cache into a buffer variable residing in very expensive PGA memory.
3. Your PL/SQL code terminates.
4. The client now makes another PL/SQL database call to DBMS_OUTPUT.
5. The client reads the DBMS_OUTPUT buffer and it renders it locally.
The problem:
- the SQL data is moved about between memory areas on the server (consumes loads memory and CAN cause the server to crash by exhausting server memory)
- the client needs to make multiple calls to get the data, and the data is dumb text strings instead of structured data
The CORRECT approach is:
1. The client calls your PL/SQL code.
2. Your code creates and returns a ref cursor.
3. The client now fetches the data from the database via the ref cursor handle.

Numbers does not have rotated text within cells. You can place a text box over the cell that has rotated text but you cannot rotate text within a cell.

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.

Saying that the extract pof code does not show where you are calling form it_out_alv_fieldcat_before ...which populates the headings...

Hi Timothy,
The current approach of your code doesnt include a header to your file.
Header is used add information about the code page and the byte sequence if the internal table was created through a code page conversion using gui_convert_codepage and it is of type hexadecimal with a length of at most 1023 bytes.
1)Have a separate internal table for your structure and pass this internal table data to FM 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'.
2)Have a second internal table which holds your data and use FM 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' with Importing parameter APPEND as 'X' with the same FILENAME which you used in first GUI_DOWNLOAD function module.
Thanks,
Vinay

How to create a form with two column headings

I have a business request to create a data form to handle multi year data by month. This will require creating a form with two column headings - with the first row be Year and second row be month, and data entry will begin in the third row and down.
I can do multiple row headings in the layout design, but somehow can not get it to work for multiple column headings.
Thanks in advance

If you're in the "Layout" tab, simply pull the "Years" dimension and the "Period" dimension into the Column section. Planning can be a little picky about where you "drop" the dimension as you're dragging and dropping it. Drop it in the cell directly under the letter name of the column. Other than that, there's not much to it.
Hopefully this helped,

Problems with PL/SQL Column Headings

Hello,
I experienced a strange behaviour and perhaps someone can verify it. Perhaps it's a bug, perhaps only some misunderstanding ... 
I created a Region with the Wizard: 
FORM 
TABULAR FORM 
Update Only 
Table EMP (all Attributes) 
Accept rest of Wizard defaults 
Create Region 
OK, everything works fine. 
Now I switched the column Headings to the Type "PL/SQL" and entered in the opening entry field: return('X:EMPNO:ENAME ...... (all Names)...) 
As well everything works fine, the columns are well named. Now I included into the SQL-Statement an additional attribute as a constant. 
select 
"EMPNO", 
"EMPNO" EMPNO_DISPLAY, 
"ENAME", 
"JOB", 
'X', <--------------- 
"MGR", 
"HIREDATE", 
"SAL", 
"COMM", 
"DEPTNO" 
from "#OWNER#"."EMP" 
Now I went back to the Report Attributes to include the new column into my return statement.... but the statement vanished. The little entry field for the PL/SQL-Statement to return the colon delimited header-list is not there and no more available. In the Radiolist for the Headings type it is selected but -as said- not there. (When I go back and erase the additional constand column, the entry-field for the PL/SQL-Statement reappears.) 
Does someone has the same experience or better, a solution ? (APEX 2.2) 
Thanks 
Andree

Controlling location of Window Split Pane in Excel export of SSRS report to include column headings in frozen/split pane at top

With a SSRS 2008R2 report consisting of a page header and a tablix in the body with columnar information, how can you control which rows are in the Frozen Pane at the top of the workbook when exporting the report to Excel. Currently the top
pane is just the Page Header. I want to include the column headings from the tablix as well.

Hi G,
Based on my test, I can reproduce the issue in my local environment. The report only display page header as the fixed data when export it to Excel. Even the tablix header with fixed date repeats on every page when we render the report in Report Designer,
but it cannot display as fixed data in Excel. This is by design.
To work around this issue, we can add the same content in page header, then adjust the space between page header and report body to make them like a whole tablix.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Dynamic column headings

I can append p_arg_names=xxx&p_arg_values=yyy to a component's URL to pass parameters to the component. I can change some of the attributes of the component in the same way e.g. for a report:
&p_arg_names=_max_rows&p_arg_values=1
...will return the data 1 row at a time. I am trying to change the column headings in the same manner but when I use:
&p_arg_names=_col_headings&p_arg_values=COL_NAME
... then there is no visible effect. Does anyone have a solution or workaround?

Hi,
What is the purpose you are trying to achieve? There is not such parameter as colheadings.
Thanks,
Sharmila

Column headings or labels permanent

To support team: I worked with DB2 for quite awhile and when
creating a table we were able to define column headings using
the label statement. EG: Even though the database name would be
short and undescriptive (acctnbr), whenever you would select the
table the column would appear as the label described it (Account
Number). When referencing the field through sql you would use
acctnbr but whenever the field would display it would show
Account Number as the column heading. This was permanent.
I now work with oracle and I cannot find how to do the same
thing for new tables other than in the select statement which
does display the altered heading but not permanently. I know
about column comments as well but that puts the comments in
another table. I would appreciate any information on this if
possible. thankyou, Linda Wagner, ISD Corporation

Do not want to offend anyone .. But I suggested that method since he had clearly mentioned this :
I do not have access to the SAP system
Does anyone know if this is available, outside of SAP
-- Not because there are no way to find the filed- description relationship in SAP
As far as I know, we need to login to SAP to access the DD tables !

3.1EA1: Column Headings don't display when using SQL*Plus formatting

The Col[umn] command doesn't show the column headings or the total lines in sqldev. This SQL command:

col file_name format a40 head DataFileName
col cursize form 999.99 head "CurrSize|GB"
col maxsize form 999.99 head "MaxSize|GB"
col Autoextensible form a4 head "Auto"
break on tablespace_name
compute sum label Total of cursize maxsize on tablespace_name
select tablespace_name,

Hi, thanks for the response.
No, I do not have "set heading off" somewhere. What I pasted into my original post is the entire script that I am running from the worksheet, and I am not using a startup script.
Odd that the column formatting works for you, yet the list of unsupported commands that you pointed me to says that col[umn] is not supported. Help column from within sqldev contradicts that documentation, showing that col[umn] is supported, but only for the "NEW_V[ALUE] syntax."
Wow, there's nothing like enabling the most obscure keyword just to be able to say that a function is supported. Oh, well, at least the scripts that I download from the web run now. In 3.0 they died with a hard error just because the col[umn] keyword was used.

How to use the procedure column in reports

Hi all
How to call the procedure in reports as source.. If possible how to use columns of procedure in the layout column of report????

Hi,
Your query is not clear.
1. In subject are you asking total column.
A. Edit pivot view and go to Rows and click Total BY option here you can find option like (none,before,after) the you can select after it will display total all culms.
2. I want use the columnC in columnD ? -- Am not understand.
A. What my understand is you want to see the report only C and D values only.
If it is correct we can apply filter in report level click column filed and apply not equal to A then it will show only C and D only.
If it is wrong pleas post me correct one with example. Will try to help out this.
I am not sure this is what your looking so far.
Award points it is useful.
Thanks,
Satya
