Comma delimited string relating to subreports

I previously opened a discussion called comma delimited string for a report header. The response I received then worked well for 'Year' but not for two other areas I am trying to use it for.
Original Code
Details:
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar Year:= Year+ {@Year} + ", ";
Report Footer:
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar Year;
Left(Year, len(Year)-2);
I needed to modify the code to eliminate duplication in Year and this worked fine. See the code below. I also needed this code for two other areas, Author and School. Without the extra line of code with the 'instr' function the code would always show and error for ' Left(author, len(author)-2);'. It came up with and error saying that the result was less than 0 or not and integer and went into debug mode. I added the instr function line and it worked for most but not all. This is my problem. Either the ' Left(author, len(author)-2);' line or 'If instr(author, {@Author } ) = 0 then' makes data disappear. It will show a comma delimited string for 'Author' on most rows but not from some. The same would be true for' School'. I am not sure what is going on. The code below is what I am currently using in the subreports.
Details:
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar author;
If instr(author, {@Author}) = 0 then
    author:= author + {@Author } + ", ";
Report Footer:
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar author;
If instr(author, {@Author } ) = 0 then
    author:= author + {@Author } + ", ";
Else
    Left(author, len(author)-2);

Hi Abhilash,
The code for the @Author is:
If ({Command.chrStatus} = "External")then
{Command.chrSurname} & ", " & {Command.chrFirstname}
Else
{Command.chrSurname(1)} & ", " & {Command.chrFirstname(1)}
The goal of this code was to pull all the authors into one comma delimited string.
eg Smith, Brian; Jones, Barry; Lee, Henry
The same desire was with the Schools and the code was the same. I just don't know why this is returning the blanks.
You mentioned in the last post that this would be better done in an SQL command. Should I open up another discussion because I think this would be the way to go. I just don't know how I can do the same comma delimited code in SQL.
Thanks

Using a comma-delimited string in Dynamic SQL

Hi --
If I receive a comma-delimited string as an in parameter, can I simply use that (in string format) when building my dynamic sql?
Thanks,
Christine

The problem is, that you can not use bind variables
here, only literals. This causes
eventual performance problems.And to avoid the inevitable database performance problems Dmytro mentions you can use a function to convert the string to a varray and select from that. This also avoids having to use dynamic sql.
First you create a varray and conversion function.
SQL> create or replace type tabstr_t as table of varchar2(255)
2 /
Type created.
SQL> create or replace function tabstr (
2      p_str in varchar2,
3      p_sep in varchar2 default ','
4      )
5 return tabstr_t
6 as
7      l_str long default p_str || p_sep;
8      l_tabstr tabstr_t := tabstr_t();
9 begin
10      while l_str is not null loop
11          l_tabstr.extend(1);
12          l_tabstr(l_tabstr.count) := rtrim(substr(
13                  l_str,1,instr(l_str,p_sep)),p_sep);
14          l_str := substr(l_str,instr(l_str,p_sep)+1);
15      end loop;
16      return l_tabstr;
17 end;
18 /
Function created.Then you can use these in either regular sql.

Split Comma Delimited String Oracle

I want to Split Comma Delimited string in oracle9i into rowwise data.i do not want to use Functions or connect by level...
is there any other way from which we can split strings.???
if we use Connect by level method the problem im facing is we cannot use suqueries in Connect by clause...

Natty! But completely illogical (I mean creating an XMLTABLE from a non-XML string). I'm guessing that's a development of XQuery?

Converting Floats to comma-delimited strings?

Does anyone know of any methods or classes that can convert a float to a comma delimited string?
Alternatively, conversion of a non-comma delimited string to a comma-delimited string would be just as good.
An example of a comma-delimited string would be the display on the iPhone calculator.
-- tia rick

Also in this guide:
https://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/DataFo rmatting/DataFormatting.html
and a small example:
NSNumberFormatter *numberFormatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];
[numberFormatter setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle];
//[numberFormatter setFormat:@"$#,##0;$#,##0;-$#,##0"];
label.text = [numberFormatter stringFromNumber:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:floatVal]];
[numberFormatter release];
notice the commented out line is commented out because apparently setFormat is not supported on the iPhone (yet???) It's what I really need.
good luck

DRM Function to divide comma delimited string to list value

Hi
Any one knows how to seperate comma delimited string into list values.
Thanks

Are you wanting to dynamically set the list values for a property? If so there are a couple options:
1. You can update them via the API.
2. You can write a sql script to update the table Property_List. This requires an application server restart and generally isn't recommended for support reasons but it makes sense in some instances.

How do I split a comma delimited string into an array.

I have a string that I am passing into a function that is Comma delimited. I want to split the string into an array. Is there a way to do this.
Thanks in advance.

Splitting of comma delimited string CONNECT BY Clause

Hi ,
I have got a problem in splitting a comma separated strings into rows .
I am explaining the use case below :
i have a table x_imp
--> create table x_imp (id number, int_status varchar2(100),c_ref varchar2(30), s_ref varchar2(30));
I inserted values into the table :
insert into x_imp (id, int_status,c_ref,s_ref) values (1,'a1,a2,a3,a4','A','AS');
insert into x_imp (id, int_status,c_ref,s_ref) values (1,'b1,b2,b3,b4','B', 'BS');
insert into x_imp (id, int_status,c_ref,s_ref) values (1,'c1,c2,c3,c4', 'C', null);
insert into x_imp (id, int_status, cust_ref, site_ref) values (1,NULL, 'D', NULL);
I need to split the comma separated int_status into individual rows . That means my expected result is :
. What I need or looking for as expected result:
1, A, AS, a1
1, A, AS, a2
1, A, AS, a3
1, A, AS, a4
1, B, BS, b1
1, B, BS, b2
1, B, BS, b3
1, B, BS, b4
1, C, null, c1
1, C, null, c2
1, C, null, c3
1, C, null, c4
I currently have a solution using Regex . But this solution uses UNIQUE keyword .
The solution i have currently :
select UNIQUE c_ref,s_ref, regexp_substr(int_status,'[^,]+', 1, level) error_code
from x_imp
connect by regexp_substr(int_status, '[^,]+', 1, level) is not null;
I need a better solution . Any pointers ?
Thanks,
Bibin

One way of doing using MODEL clause:
select c_ref, s_ref, res err_code
FROM x_imp
model
partition by ( id, c_ref, s_ref)
dimension by ( 1 rn)
measures( int_status, cast(null as varchar2(100)) res,
          nvl(length(regexp_replace(int_status, '[^,]')),0)+1 nb )
(res[for rn from 1 to nb[1] increment 1]=regexp_substr(int_status[1], '[^,]+', 1, cv(rn)))
order by c_ref, s_ref;
C_REF                          S_REF                          ERR_CODE
A                              AS                             a3
A                              AS                             a4

A                              AS                             a2
B                              BS                             b2

You misunderstand how hierarchical query works. Look at:

How to split comma delimited string?

Hi,
I have a parameter called Id in my SP which will be of nvarchar data type and i'm going to get the multiple ids at a time seperated by commas in that parameter from the application. Now my requirement is to update a table with these comma seperated ids in seperate rows.
For example, if i have 2 parameters called Id1 and Id2. Id1 will contain only one value and will be of int data type and Id2 will be of nvarchar data type as i can get multiple ids delimited by a comma from the application. Suppose Id1 = 1 and Id2 = '1,2,3,4'. Then I have to update id2 in the tables seperately like wherever Id1 is '1' i need to update Id2 column for 4 rows with the value 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively in different rows.
Could you please tell me how can i do this in T-SQL? How can i split the data of parameter Id2 in 4 different rows?
Please let me know if you did not understand the question.
Thanks,
Deepti

Hi,
I got a similar function which is like this:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fnSplit(
@sInputList VARCHAR(8000) -- List of delimited items
, @sDelimiter VARCHAR(8000) = ',' -- delimiter that separates items
) RETURNS @List TABLE (item VARCHAR(8000))
BEGIN
DECLARE @sItem VARCHAR(8000)
WHILE CHARINDEX(@sDelimiter,@sInputList,0) <> 0
BEGIN
SELECT
@sItem=RTRIM(LTRIM(SUBSTRING(@sInputList,1,CHARINDEX(@sDelimiter,@sInputList,0)-1))),
@sInputList=RTRIM(LTRIM(SUBSTRING(@sInputList,CHARINDEX(@sDelimiter,@sInputList,0)+LEN(@sDelimiter),LEN(@sInputList))))
IF LEN(@sItem) > 0
INSERT INTO @List SELECT @sItem
END
IF LEN(@sInputList) > 0
INSERT INTO @List SELECT @sInputList -- Put the last item in
RETURN
END
GO
Now when i use this in my select statement, i get data in a tabular structure as shown below:
select
from dbo.fnSplit('1,22,333,444,,5555,666',
Results
Item
1
22
333
444
5555
666
Now my requirement is to insert this value in a table which has 2 columns ID1 and ID2.
At any point of time ID1 will be an int value(only one id in that parameter) and ID2 can have multiple ids delimited by comma. With the help of above split function i can split values of ID2 into 6 different ids but i need to insert the table
in the following way:
ID1     ID2
1        1
1        22
1        333
1        444
1        5555
1        666
How can i insert the data in the above mentioned fashion.
Thanks,
Deepti
Like this:
Code Snippet
select 1 as id,* from dbo.fnSplit('1,22,333,444,,5555,666', ',')
Great!!!! Wonderfull!!!... Thanks a lot.

Comma delimited formatting in Smartview

I'm creating a report in smartview 9.3.1
I have few columns with formulas and I have format my report (bold ,comma delimited and some color).
The issue is when I do a refresh all the formatting remains intact except the comma delimited formatting on columns with formulas.
I already have the "Use Excel Formatting" checked.
Does any one run into this issue before ?

Hi Brian,
There are a few ways to do this:
Using Subreports:
1) Insert a Subreport with its datasource being the same table as the Main Report's in the Report Header.
2) Inside the Subreport, create a formula with a code that looks similar to the below:
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar dates := dates + {Year} + ", ";
Place the formula on the Details section
3) Create another formula and place it on the Report Footer:
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar dates;
Left(dates, len(dates)-2);
4) Suppress all the sections of the Subreport, except the Report Footer
5) Copy the record selection formula from the Main Report into the Subreport so that it returns the same records as the Subreport
If the data for 'Authors' and 'Departments' is available for each row just like the 'Year', you can actually use the same subreport and modify the above formula by adding 'shared variables' to bring back a comma delimited string of the 'years', 'authors' and 'departments'
Using SQL:
This is probably the most efficient way to do this. Just write a SQL that returns the list of years as a comma separated string along with the other columns > drag and drop the column on the report header

Error in create-nodeset-from-delimited-string

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to use the orcl:create-nodeset-from-delimited-string XPath extension function in the XSL mapper.
I am using the Map test feature to test my map, and notice that if I use this function, the XSL does not give any output - i guess the map is failing to execute at runtime. When I open the JDeveloper as jdev.exe [so that I can see the command line window for JDev], I can see that an error appears in the command line window that states "Method orcl:create-nodeset-from-delimited-string" not found.
This XPath function is available for use in the "Advanced Functions" palette in the XSL Mapper.
Please let me know if
a) This function can be used within the Mapper, and if so,
b) whats the right way to use it.
My usage looks like
orcl:create-nodeset-from-delimited-string('tns:sampeNode',$delimVar,',')
where delimVar is a comma delimited string.
Please let me know your thoughts on this .
rgds,
Ram

Reading a comma delimited data stream

I need a clean, preferably simple way, to parse a comma delimited string that enters a local variable once a minute. The variable buffer needs to be cleared before the new string comes in. If you can help and have more questions about this I can send a detailed explanation. thanks in advance.
[email protected]

I placed my code inside a loop and have attached it. The data in the array is replaced every time that the function is called. You can see where I also added a step to reset the string. I am not clear what you mean by "clear what is not overwritten". Do you mean that the string length changes and you want to only display that amount of data? This example should do that. I added a random string length to show that behavior.
I feel like I am missing something about what you want. Do you have an example that shows what you are doing and you can point to where you wnat something different.

Using a comma seprated string as rows

i hv a column in which i store comma seprated name, i have to show them as rows in a report..
plz help

As with most things, it depends greatly on your Oracle version (you should always post this information).
In release 11 here's a neat method.
http://laurentschneider.com/wordpress/2009/07/select-from-column-separated-list.html
In release 10 there's REGEXP
