Create columns at runtime

Is it possible to create columns in RTF template dynamically depending on what fields there are in dataset?
for example incoming data can be name, address, country and in other cases name, address, country, postalcode, age, height ...
if I could somehow iterate through available field names and create columns accordingly...

thanks, but I looked through those before posting my question.
I could not figure out how to apply it for field names. As I understand those examples are for displaying data as columns, not
field names as columns(and then populating rows accordingly). I just know that dataset will contain 3 known fields plus unknown
number of other misc fields that vary in naming on each report.

Is it possible to create a column in runtime?

Hi,
I created a application that connect with Access database. I just wonder is it possible for user to create a column in runtime, because the application need this kind of interaction.
Many thanks,

Here's code to do that
     static void addColumn(Connection dbConn, String cname)
          Statement ins;
          String sql = "ALTER TABLE TestTable ADD "+cname+" CHAR(20)";
          try
               ins = dbConn.createStatement();
               ins.executeUpdate(sql);

How can I create a Forms9i Runtime for client distribution

Currently we have an application developed in Forms 5.0.6.8.0 our Database has been upgraded to 9i DB. The application is working fine with this combination but we want to upgrade Forms in order to get Oracle Support. We just get the Developer Suite 9i package and we're trying to test our application with this software.
How can I create the client runtime for Forms 9i?
My application will work with Win 95 and 98?
Thanks.

Oracle9i Forms is web-only. Forms 6i is the last release of Forms to have client/server and character mode.
You can test Forms from the Builder by installing iDS. To deploy Forms using iAS follow the documentation. It's all there in the deployment guide.
iAS and Forms doco can be found on OTN.

How to create columns in Pages 5.2.2

Please help me create columns in Pages

Hi Picas -
Thanks for that tip - I was having similar problem. In my mind and thinking, I should be able to make the column split first, then add the text I want in each one. Is there away to do this without creating a table? I am trying to keep track of information (similar to cause and effect), and as you think of one thing for column A, I have a reply for column B. It is not a critical issue by any means; it would help my workflow, though, tremendously.
Thanks!

How to create variables at runtime

Hi,
I need to know how can i create variables at runtime.
or is their anything like array that we create in 'C' if yes . how can i define its size at runtime.
Thanks,
Dev.

In forms, either record groups or pl/sql tables of records give similar functionality to an array. You have full programatic control of either but with completely different syntax. Record groups integrate well with certain forms built-ins and features (eg LOVs and Tree items). PL/sql tables integrate well with other pl/sql such as stored procedures. Unlike an array, a pl/sql table may be SPARSE (index numbers need not be sequential), and UNBOUNDED (no need to declare the number of rows).

In a document library Show time in seconds also for a created column

HI
i created a sitecollection with DocumentCenter Template and created documentlibrary,
after i upload documents i want to see created column should display seconds with created time
how it is possible to show seconds also with time.
adil

Create a Calculated column and display it instead of the Created column.
If it's for display purposes, then the easiest way is to convert the date into any format / pattern you like:
=TEXT(Created,"MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss AM/PM")
If you want the column to be sortable by the user, list the year first and leave off the "AM/PM" and display using 24 hours:
=TEXT(Created,"YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm:ss")
You could also display the "Created with seconds" column and sort the view on the original Created column.

Created column not showing in the Document Library View for a Custom Content Type based on Document

We have a custom content type based of Document Content Type. The OOTB "Created" column does not show up in the view as well as in the Site Settings -> Columns.
But it shows up in the Display Form and Edit Form of the Item at the bottom "Created at " by " " and "Modified by" at by ""
Would anyone know how to make this column appear as part of the view ?
thanks,
Harsh

Hi,
They should by default be possible to add to a view. The only reason they would disappear from the UI if someone has changed the attribute of the Field to hidden = true. You can verify that with PowerShell and if so you can use PowerShell to revert the setting
to false.
$w = Get-SPWeb http://dev13$f = $w.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName("Created")$f.Hidden$f.Hidden = $false$f.Update()

Change 'Created' column/field value

I have a business requirement of changing the date of 'created' column/field of selected
document/s in a document library(it has to be changed to current system date). This has to be done by adding a custom button to the ribbon and providing authorization to the button. Please let me know if this is possible?

Hi,
Please refer to the following article.
http://www.learningsharepoint.com/2011/06/13/using-javascript-js-file-in-commandaction-of-custom-ribbon-button-sharepoint-2010/
In the above article, command action is JavaScript function. For example.
<CommandUIHandler
Command=”AboutButtonCommand”
CommandAction=”javascript:ChangeDate();“/>
Create a script file and refer to your command action.
//Referencing the Script
<CustomAction
Id=”AboutFilesButton.Script”
Location=”ScriptLink”
ScriptSrc =”/_layouts/RibbonScripts/ChangeDate.js”/>
You can add the following function to the "ChangeDate.js" file.
function ChangeDate()
var ctx = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var list = ctx.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle("CM");
var items = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedItems(ctx);
var item = list.getItemById(items[0].id);
item.set_item("Created", "2/13/2015"); //change the date
item.update();
ctx.executeQueryAsync(
function () {alert("Created date changed") },
function () {alert ("Error")}
Hope this works for you.

"create columns with a where clause" in BMM

Hi All,
I have a question about OBI EE Meta data layer.
We have OBIEE sitting on a Data Warehouse with a star schema.
Our Fact table holds the following fields...
EmployeeID
CompanyID
Measure ID
Measure Name
MEASURE
This is what we have in the physical layer, BMM layer and the presentation layer but I want to be able to "create columns with a where clause"
So my fact table in the presentation layer would look like this
Amount Sold
Unit Cost
Company Amount
I thought I could just create a logical column with
Amount Sold = Measure
where Measure Name = "Amount Sold"
But I can't seem to find any to do that.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Or you simply map your measure in the Logical Table source as something like :
CASE WHEN MEASURE_NAME = 'Amount Sold' THEN MEASURE ELSE 0 END.
You need to decide if you want the where clause adding in the Logical table source (be careful you will need a seperate LTS for each measure, this will mean more than one SQL being fired when you have more than one measure in the report).
Or you go with this case method on each measure, be able to have all the measures mapped in 1 LTS, include all those in the report and they will be retrieved by one SQL block.

Can we change width of the column at runtime

I have a report with columns assigned runtime, can we change width of the colimn runtime?
for example Query: select &lp_1, &lp_2 from emp &LP_Where
if i assign lp_1 empno size 10 and empname size 50. Vertical and horizantal elasticty is not going work for me. Any suggestions please..
Lalitha

Doubt there is the dynamic you are seeking.
But you may put a few overlapped columns (diff. length of course) and display/hide by passing parameters.

50002
12th student like
120001
120002
120003
how to implement above logic pls ?
Thanks
Selvaons
Thanks - SelvaKumarSubramaniam.Please MARK AS ANSWER, if my answer is useful to U.

see
http://www.sqlteam.com/article/custom-auto-generated-sequences-with-sql-server
You can make it computed column based on UDF
make UDF as below
CREATE FUNCTION GenerateStudID
@StdStudy varchar(15)
RETURNS int
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @StudID int
SELECT @StudID = @StdStudy * 10000 + COALESCE((SELECT MAX(StudentID) FROM StudentDetails WHERE StandardStudy =@StdStudy),0) + 1
RETURN (@StudID)
END
then create column as
ALTER TABLE StudentDetails ADD StudentID AS dbo.GenerateStudID(StandardStudy)
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs
