Column with for dynamic Columns

Hi,
In my report i have dynamic columns and i am achieving this using <?split-column-header:header?> , <?split-column-data:variable?>
I need to define with for the dynamically created columns.
How do i achieve this.
i have seen <?split-column-width:name?>,<?split-column-width:@width?> but didn't succeed.
I tried <?split-column-header:header?><?split-column-width:@200pt?><?heading?><?end split-column-data?>
Please advice.

Item10
End for each

Take a look at this to see if the solution provided would work for you: https://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/multi_column_row_woes
Won't you have more than 10 records in your data file ? If you are going to have only 10 items then you may be able to use position() function to limit it to 3 each..

Dynamic columns: how can i add an adjacent column to each dynamic column?

i would like to extend the dynamic columns example coming with XML Publisher MSWord plugin.
the example produces a table like:
TestScore 0-20 21-40 41-60 61-80 81-100
Theology 20 37 50 12 122
English 0 55 30 92 52
Mathematics 30 45 50 102 22
i would like to have an output like this:
TestScore 0-20 21-40 41-60 61-80 81-100
Theology 20 2,8% 37 5,1% 50 7,0% 12 1,7% 122 17,0%
English 0 0,0% 55 7,6% 30 4,2% 92 12,8% 52 7,2%
Mathematics 30 4,2% 45 6,3% 50 7,0% 102 14,2% 22 3,1%
For each "original" value column i need an adjacent additional column with percentages
one big header cell for the value- and adjacent percentage-column together.
(the percentages can either be calculated in the template or they could be
part of the XML. e.g. <PercOfStudents>2</PercOfStudents> as an additional child
of the <TestScore> group.
is this possible?
how could i add an adjacent column to each dynamic column?
any suggestions, tips or hints?
Regards
Peter

Hi Peter
Sorry, I was going to take a look at this this morning but got caught up in meetings. Glad you managed to work it out. I have a proposal for you, how about letting me post your solution to hte BIP blog? I can write it up and just use your examples ... full credit to you of course :o)

Finding source database table/column name for a column in a view

Hi i need to be able to identify the original database table/column name for a column in a view.
e.g. say i have a view like this
create v1 as select a.name fname, b.name bname, c.name cname,......
from u1.names a, u2.names b. u3.names c
where .....
Now I want to find out that the database table/column name for the fname, bname and cname columns in the view v1, which in this instance is u1.name.name, u2.names.name, u3.names.name.
But i need to be able to do it for any view. Short of parsing the SQL is there an easy way of doing this?
Now obviusly I can't do this for virtual columns but I will know my column is not virtual as it has an index on it.

But i need to be able to do it for any view. Short of
parsing the SQL is there an easy way of doing this?No, parsing the SQL is the only way. Good luck it is not something I would want to attempt.

JTable - One Column Heading for Two Columns

Can you adjust the default JTable to have one column heading for two columns of data? Is there a simple span command? I've looked at the api for JTable and JTableHeader and didn't see anything, is there something I'm missing? Any help would be appreciated.

What i am trying to accomplish is have column 'E' span 2 columns.
This is my code thus far, however it give the error from my pryor message. I am pretty sure it is because I'm using and Object[][] and a String[] instead of Vectors. What corrections do I need to make in order for my goal of:
[ A ][ B ][ C ][ D ][ E ][ F ][ G ]
[ 1 ][ 2 ][ 3 ][ 4 ][5][6][ 7 ][ 8 ]
Object[][] data = new Object[ROWS][COLUMNS];
String[] columnNames = {"A","B","C","D","E","E","F","G"};
table = new JTable(data, columnNames);
table.setBackground(Color.white);
table.addKeyListener(this);
DefaultTableCellRenderer d = new DefaultTableCellRenderer();
d.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
table.setDefaultRenderer(table.getColumnClass(0),d);
for (int i = 0; i < table.getColumnCount(); i++){
TableColumn aColumn = header.getColumnModel().getColumn(i);
TableCellRenderer renderer = aColumn.getHeaderRenderer();
if (renderer == null) {
renderer = new DefaultTableCellRenderer(){
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column){
JTableHeader header = table.getTableHeader();
if (header != null) {
setForeground(header.getForeground());
setBackground(header.getBackground());
setFont(header.getFont());
setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
setText((value == null) ? "" : value.toString());
setBorder(UIManager.getBorder("TableHeader.cellBorder"));
return this;
aColumn.setHeaderRenderer(renderer);

Dynamic orderby clause for multiple columns with out Dynamic query

Hi,
        I've a query like
"select * from tablename order by column1,column2,column3,column4,column5,column6"
in the above query the order by column will be dynamically changed. The query is placed in a stored procedures and the order by column will come by parameter.
   For ex: @orderbycol = column2,column1,column3,column4,column5,column6
                                     or
                @orderbycol = column3,column2,column1,column4,column5,coumn6
How can we manage the order by clause as dynamically without go to dynamic query.

ORDER BY CASE @sortcol1
   WHEN 'col1' THEN col1
   WHEN 'col2' THEN col2
   END,
   CASE @sortcol2
   WHEN 'col1' THEN col1
   WHEN 'col2' THEN col2
   END,
Note: these CASE expressions assumes that all columns have the same data type.
You could consider sorting in the presentation layer instead.

Cannot use alias for dynamic column name in SELECT statement

Hi,
I want to retrieve values from several tables by using dynamic column & table name as below:
DATA: tbl_name(30) TYPE c VALUE '/bic/tbi_srcsys', " staticly initialized for this example
col_name(30) TYPE c VALUE '/bic/bi_srcsys'. " staticly initialized for this example
SELECT (col_name) INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_values FROM (tbl_name).
The internal table "it_values" does not contain a field named "/bic/bi_srcsys", instead it has another generic field "value" so that the above code can be applied to other tables. I tried to use alias (AS) as below:
SELECT (col_name) AS value INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_values FROM (tbl_name).
But this cannot work. I know that there are other ways to solve this problem, such as by using a single field in SELECT .. ENDSELECT and subsequently appending it to the work area and internal table as below:
SELECT (col_name) INTO (lv_value) FROM (tbl_name).
wa_value-value = lv_value.
APPEND wa_value TO it_values.
ENDSELECT.
Just wonder if there is any other more elegant workaround, because I might have several other fields instead of only one?
Thanks.
Regards,
Joon Meng

Hi Suhas,
thanks for the quick reply.
Sorry that I have not well described the structure of the internal table "it_values". This internal table contains several other fields (key, type, value, etc.).
I guess that the following code
SELECT (col_name) INTO TABLE it_values FROM (tbl_name).
works if the internal table only has one field (value) or the field "value" is in the first position, right?
In this case, I need to fill the "value" field of internal table it_values (ignore the other fields like type, key) with values retrieved from (col_name) of the DDIC table.
Looking forward to your reply.
BR,
Joon Meng

Translation for dynamic columns

Hello,
I am new to BIP and I am researching if it's possible to support translation for the a column splitting(crosstab) report that the column heading is not known until the runtime? Fortunately, I can seed the translation for these column headings in a TL table but I just would not know which columns will be displayed and the sequence of these display columns until the runtime.
Thanks,
Calvin

Thank you very much for the reply but I am still a little unclear how to implement your suggested approaches.
1) pass the correct translations to the report as part of the data set
I intend to design 3 tables. Table 1 is the main one and Table 2 and 3 store the column headings and translation.
Table 1: REPORT_ROWS(REPORT_NAME, ROWNUM, VALUE1, VALUE2, VALUE3...VALUE10).
- REPORT_NAME + ROWNUM: PK columns
- VALUE1-10: Depending on REPORT_NAME, different columns will be populated.
Table 2: REPORT_FORMAT(REPORT_NAME, LABLE1, LABEL2,....LABEL10)
Table 3: REPORT_FORMAT_TL(REPORT_NAME, LANGUAGE, LABEL1, LABEL2,....,LABEL10)
I can get translations from Table3. But how do I get the labels displayed as column headings in the BIP?
Isn't the column headings in BIP defaulted the table column name of Table 1?
Should I change the design of these tables?
2) and 3) how to do I pick the right translation at the runtime in the dataset or in the table?
My understanding is the xliff file is based on strings on the report template. In this case, these strings are derived at the runtime.
Therefore, the xliff file approach is not applicable. Is this a right assumption?
Many thanks!

How to create a dynamic RTF report which creates dynamic columns based on dynamic column selection from a table?

Hi All,
Suppose I have table, whose structure changes frequently on daily basis.
For eg. desc my_table gives you following column name on Day 1
SQL > desc my_table;
Output
Name
Age
Phone
On Day 2, two more columns are added, viz, Address and Salary.
SQL > desc my_table;
Output
Name
Age
Phone
Address
Salary
Now I want to create an Dynnamic RTF report which would fetch data from ALL columns from my_table on daily basis. For that I have defined a concurrent program with XML as output type and have attached a data template/data definition to it which takes in XML as input and gives final output of conc program in EXCEL layout. I am able to do this for constant number of columns, but dont know how to do it when the number of columns to be displayed changes dynamically.
For Day 1 my XML file should be like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dataTemplate name="XYZ" description="iExpenses Report" Version="1.0">
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q2">
<![CDATA[
SELECT Name
,Age
,Phone
FROM my_table
]]>
</sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
<dataStructure>
<group name="G_my_table" source="Q2">
<element name="Name" value="Name" />
<element name="Age" value="Age" />
<element name="Phone" value="Phone" />
</group>
</dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>
And my Day 1, EXCEL output from RTF template should be like this.
Name     Age     Phone
Swapnill     23     12345
For Day 2 my XML file should be like this. With 2 new columns selected in SELECT clause.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dataTemplate name="XYZ" description="iExpenses Report" Version="1.0">
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q2">
<![CDATA[
SELECT Name
,Age
,Phone
,Address
,Salary
FROM my_table
]]>
</sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
<dataStructure>
<group name="G_my_table" source="Q2">
<element name="Name" value="Name" />
<element name="Age" value="Age" />
<element name="Phone" value="Phone" />
<element name="Address" value="Address" />
<element name="Salary" value="Salary" />
</group>
</dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>
And my Day 2, EXCEL output from RTF template should be like this.
Name     Age     Phone     Address     Salary
Swapnill     23     12345         Madrid     100000
Now, I dont know below things.
Make the XML dynamic as in on Day 1 there must be 3 columns in the SELECT statement and on Day 2, 5 columns. I want to create one dynamic XML which should not be required to be changed if new columns are added in my_table. I dont know how to create this query and also create their corresponding elements below.
Make the RTF template dyanamic as in Day1 there must 3 columns in EXCEL output and on Day 2, 5 columns. I want to create a Dynamic RTF template which would show all the columns selected in Dynamic XML.I dont know how the RTF will create new XML tags and how it will know where to place it in the report. Means, I can create RTF template on Day 1, by loading XML data for 3 columns and placing 3 XML tags in template. But how will it create and place tags for new columns on Day 2?
Hope, you got my requirement, its a challenging one. Please let me know how I can implement the required solution using RTF dynamically without any manual intervention.
Regards,
Swapnil K.

Hi All,
I am able to fulfil above requirement. Now I am stuck at below point. Need your help!
Is there any way to UPDATE the XML file attached to a Data Definition (XML Publisher > Data Definition) using a standard package or procedure call or may be an API from backend? I am creating an XML dynamically and I want to attach it to its Data Definition programmatically using SQL.
Please let me know if there is any oracle functionality to do this.
If not, please let me know the standard directories on application/database server where the XML files attached to Data Definitions are stored.
For eg, /$APPL_TOP/ar/1.0/sql or something.
Regards,
Swapnil K.

Compare a varchar2 segment column with a date column

Dear All ,
i have a segment column with datatype varchar2 with data sample like '2013/06/09 00:00:00' , i want to compare this column with date column
i tried many ways of conversion but not working like
select to_date(TO_NCHAR(substr('2013/06/09 00:00:00',1,11),'DD-MM-YY'))DATE_C from dual ---> giving invalid number
select TO_TIMESTAMP(TO_NCHAR(substr('2013/06/09 00:00:00',1,11),'DD-MM-YY'))DATE_C from dual ---> giving invalid number
can i have any suggestion for that please
thanks & best regards

Hi,
Have you tried:
SELECT TO_DATE(SUBSTR('2013/06/09 00:00:00',1,10),'YYYY/MM/DD') DATE_C FROM dual

Web Dynpro ALV disable column sort for specific column

Hi,
I have the above mentioned problem. The Coding I use is:
DATA: lr_field_settings TYPE REF TO if_salv_wd_field_settings,
lt_fields TYPE SALV_WD_T_FIELD_REF.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_field> LIKE LINE OF lt_fields.
lr_field_settings ?= lr_config.
lt_fields = lr_field_settings->get_fields( ).
READ TABLE lt_fields ASSIGNING <fs_field> WITH KEY fieldname = 'ANSPRECH_DETAILS'.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
<fs_field>-r_field->if_salv_wd_sort~set_sort_allowed( abap_false ).
<fs_field>-r_field->if_salv_wd_sort~set_grouping_allowed( abap_false ).
ENDIF.
When debugging I can see that the object attributes for sort_allowed and grouping_allowed are changed from 'X' to ' '
but the running application still allows sorting and grouping for the column 'ANSPRECH_DETAILS'.
So what did I forget or what is my mistake ????
Thx for your help.
Dino Dini

I got the similar requirement and I tried to do the below way.. it worked for me..
DATA: lr_field_settings TYPE REF TO if_salv_wd_field_settings.
DATA: lr_field TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_field.
lr_field_settings ?= lr_table.
lr_field = lr_field_settings->get_field( 'MATNR' ).
lr_field->IF_SALV_WD_SORT~SET_SORT_ALLOWED( abap_false
you can observe in the below image that sort option is not enabled for MATNR in the ALV.

Slider + activating column switches for a column chart

Hi,
I am trying to make an Xcelsius presentation and because I am a bit stuck I thought that may be you could point me to some solution.
It is a three element column chart
+ three status switches for every column chart column (if the switch is On, then the slider should affect (i.e. increase/decrease) the corresponding column, otherwise not)
+ a vertical slider which should increase/decrease only those of the columns for which the corresponding column switches are set On. If no column switch is On, then the slider should not affect any column value.
As I see it, an intermediate subtraction value for every column should be calculated, depending on the corresponding column switch and cur slider value. And this value should be subtracted from the current slider value in order to receive the right current value for every column. I have tried with some formulas but with no success.
Or may be a totally different approach should be taken?
(By the way, is there some way that Excel store/memorize in the excel table the various intermediate values for the corresponding columns, so that they dont always depend on a formula, but after they are calculated they are stored for later processing?)
As I have tried many variants with no success, I am beginning to doubt if this could at all be achieved with Excelsius.
Do you think this kind of functionality could somehow be organized with Excelsius?
Just in case I have put [here|
inspire.wdf.sap.corp\INSPIRE_Share\Raptor_share\tmp\example_frames.zip] (
inspire.wdf.sap.corp\INSPIRE_Share\Raptor_share\tmp\example_frames.zip) example frames, which demonstrate what the functionality should do.
Thanks!

Different column height for each column

I have problem with jTable.
I have 4 columns in my jtable. height of two columns is same and
height of two is doble the height of first two columns.
I know that height can be set to entire row by setRowHeight()
Could any one suggest solution for this.
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
But I don't want resize all the columns.
For example two columns height 16 pixels, then rest of should be 32 pixels

HFR: How to calculate variation over last period for dynamic columns

Hello Everyone,
How to calculate the period wise variation in a report where the period columns are dynamically generated from a range function? For example, the range function in the period column is &Current:Dec. What formula can I write in a calculated row so that the value is (Current Period - Previous period)*100/Previous period ?
Thanks,
Sayantan

You can add two more data rows.
1. Use &Current
2. Use relativemember function, select &Current, offset -1 (If you've a subvar for previous month that's the best)
3. Add a formula row ([B]-[C]*100/[C])
