Concatenate multiple lines into 1

I am trying to pull a list of journal entries that meet a certain criteria. What I would like to know is if I can take that list of multiple lines and combine them into one? This way I can use the results and run another report with those parameters. I don't know of any other way to pull in all the lines in a journal entry with certain GL accounts. I know I can do this if I export a query as an .iqy file and run it in excel, but nobody in my company knows, or wants to know, how to do this other than me. Or if you know of a better way, I would surely appreciate it.
Thanks.

Take the initialize formula out of the Group Header.
Place it an the Report Header, and create a second (print suppressed) Group Footer and place it there

Concatenate multiple lines into one

Post Author: [email protected]
CA Forum: General
Hi,I'm trying to pull data out of one table that could have multiple lines (indicated by a line count field for each row). The user wants to see all lines in one field only. I tried the following but am running into issues if there's only one row (one line count). With this, the single row is concatenated with itself. //@groupheader-initilizewhileprintingrecords;stringvar x:=""//@detailwhileprintingrecords;stringvar x:=x+ //@groupfooterwhileprintingrecords;stringvar x Any ideas appreciated. Thanks!

Concatenate multiple records into one single record

Hello everyone,
Can anyone guide me how to merge multiple records into one single record
like......... I am getting the data in the file like
aaaaa/bbbbbbb/ccccccccccc/dddddddddddd/eee
ffffff/gggg/hhhhhhhhhhhhhh
/123/4567/55555/99999999/kaoabfa/eee
fffff/kkkkkkkk/llllllllllllllllllllllll
when i use gui_upload I am getting the data into the internal table in the above format.
My main intension is to split the record at / to multiple lines and dowload it into another file.
What i am planning to do is... if the line does not start with / then i want to concatenate the multiple lines into single line and then split it into multiple records. Can anyone guide me how to achieve this.

Yes, it should work.
In my example
Loop at itab.
concatenate i_text itab into i_text.
endloop.
You change that loop for the loop of your internal table with the file records
So if you have this three records
'aaaa/bbb/ccc'
'/dddd/efg'
'hijk/lmn'
i_text will look like this at the end
'aaaa/bbb/ccc/dddd/efghijk/lmn'
then in this part of the code
split i_text at '/' into table itab2.
itab2 will have the records looking like this
aaaa
bbb
ccc
dddd
efghijk
lmn'

How to concatenate multiple records into one

Hi everybody:
I want to know if exist some way to concat multiple records into one without using cursors. For example, I have a table named "Authors" like this:
Lan|Author
English|Ernest Hemingway
Spanish|Octavio Paz
Spanish|Mario Vargas Llosa
English|Sinclair Lewis
Spanish|Gabriel García Márquez
And I want to get this:
Author
Octavio Paz, Mario Vargas Llosa, Gabriel García Márquez
I have worked with SQL Server and I can do something like this:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.MyConcat (@lan varchar(10))
RETURNS varchar(5000) AS
BEGIN
declare @retvalue varchar(5000)
set @retvalue=''
select @retvalue = @retvalue + Author +',' from Authors where lan = @lan
return substring(@retvalue,1,len(@retvalue)-1)
END
ie, do not use cursors to concatenate records. However, with ORACLE, I have to do someting like this.
FUNCTION MyConcat(P_Lan IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
v_ret VARCHAR2(4000);
v_element VARCHAR2(4000);
v_cursor sys_refcursor;
BEGIN
OPEN v_cursor FOR SELECT Author FROM Authors where Lan = P_Lan
LOOP
FETCH v_cursor INTO v_elemento;
EXIT WHEN v_cursor%NOTFOUND;
IF v_ret IS NULL THEN
v_ret := v_element;
ELSE
v_ret := v_ret || ', ' || v_element;
END IF;
END LOOP;
RETURN v_ret;
END;
Exist some other way to do this?
Best Regards
Jack

Tks both for answer... I forgot to mention that I am using Oracle 10g. I read about LISTAGG() but this function is available for Oracle 11g release 2.
I wil read about the other techniques than Hoek mention
Best Regards.

Concatenate multiple columns into one string

Hello,
I am using Oracle 11.2, how can I concatenate the value of multiple columns into one string with one SQL:
create table testTb(classId number(5), classRoom varchar2(32));
insert into testTb value(101, 'room101');
insert into testTb value(101, 'room201');
insert into testTb value(101, 'room301');
insert into testTb value(202, 'room444');
insert into testTb value(202, 'room555');
I would like to generate the result as followings:
Class 101 is in room101, room201, room301
Class 202 is in room444, room555
Thanks,

Hi,
Since you're using Oracle 11.2, you can use the aggregate LISTAGG function:
SELECT       'Class ' || classid
               || ' is in '
             || LISTAGG ( classroom
                     ) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY classroom)
               AS txt
FROM       testtb
GROUP BY classid
;The generic name for concatenating all the strings in a group is String Aggregation . This page shows several ways to do it, suitable for different versions of Oracle.

I meant is there a way to do it without using a table?
LISA86
We have not used any extra table. Ok, Try the below:
Select distinct
names= REPLACE(
Select a.Name as [data()]
From YOURTABLENAME A
Where A.Rnk = b.Rnk
Order by a.Name
FOR XML PATH ('') ), ' ', ',') ,Rnk
From YOURTABLENAME B Order by Rnk

Concatenate multiple tables into one table

Dear all,
I am doing migration between two database structures, that's why I need also to know if we want to concatenate the data in tables A,B and C into one table in the destination schema, what is the strategy to do this knowing that I have a lot of data and I need the fastest solution.
regards

Since the details of your requirements are unclear, will this approach not work ?

Copy and Paste Multiple lines into a single cell

Folks:
I need to copy some plain text data into a single cell that has been merged with other cells to provider a larger unit; however, every time I copy and paste my data it gives me an error. In addition, if I paste the data into a single cell, the next line
of data inserts into the next row.
I understand that Alt+enter is a quick way to do what I want, but I already have the data typed out, and I do not want to type the data again.
Example: (If possible I want in one single cell)
Disks=32
Total space=1.74TB
Used space=1.20TB
Free space=0.54TB
Thank you!!!

Is there any way to do this but keep the source formatting? I don't see any "Paste Special" options when you do it this way.
That is not possible - when you copy/paste this way, you only copy the plain text, not the formatting. You'll have to apply formatting to the cell with pasted lines from scratch.

Concatenate Multiple Columns into Single

Hi All,
I am developing a report and there is a field called FUNDING_SOURCE.
This field is being picked from class_code of PA_PROJECT_CLASSES table as shown below:
(select distinct(class_code)
from pa_project_classes ppc,
pa_projects_all ppa
where class_category = 'FUNDING SOURCE'
and ppc.project_id = :project_id)
But, the requirement is to have all values of Funding Source for a particular project ID concatenated into a single column.
Eg: If I run the above code, the output would be in 3 rows,
Intenal
External
Other
I want the output concatenated and displayed as Internal, External, Other.
Please help me ASAP. Need to finish this soon.
Thanks!

How could I solve this?

To insert multiple lines into the table you have to record the transaction for one entry and loop the same step multiple times to create multiple entries in the table.

Concatenate multiple word documents into 1 long document in APEX

I have a requirement to concatenate multiple word documents into 1 long document in APEX but I'm not sure if it can be done
or where to begin.
I've been able to upload/download files in APEX and generate Word docs using BI Publisher, but I can't seem to find anyway to carryout the above.
Any feedback greatly received.
Thanks in advance.
Keith

Thanks for your reply Jari.
The files are never actually stored in the database as a BLOB or CLOB.
I'm basically trying to do the following:-
I have a third party Document Management System that stores a number of templates (.doc and .dot).
The files are stored in a directory on a file sever.
I have been tasked with the job of creating a Document Generator type app in APEX that will allow the users to select a number of these files and concatenate them together into 1 large 'Master' Document.
I was hoping to be able to do this without having to go down the line of using external software functions like Java but I'll check out your suggestion.
Cheers
Keith
