Crystal report 8.5/ changing the format conditionally

Post Author: Amsa
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Using Cyrstal Report 8.5 I have a letter on the crystal report which get populated from the sql database by the sql procedure..That letter includes the Name and the full address. And if the customer has the apt number it prints that as well.So this is how it goes. Amin Shah91 09 Tample AveApt # 31Elmont NY, 11373 so each line there is accociated with the field from the stored procedure. But what happens is that when the customer doesnt have the Apt # that line prints empty and there comes a blank line. So for that I have to shift that TownState row up. I don't know how to do this. If anyone can help please.Thanks.

CA Forum: Crystal Reports
split up the section the address is in so that Apt # 31 is in its own section (can all still be in details or a single group -- you just break it apart using "insert section below" or by splitting the section with your mouse). Lines below show breaking of sections. __________ Amin Shah91 09 Tample Ave ____________ Apt # 31_____________Elmont NY, 11373_______________ Then choose "suppress blank section" for the Apt #31 section. If you have anything in the section besides database fields you will need to conditionally suppress those as well so that the section really is blank (and therefore will be suppressed by the 'suppress blank section').

How to change the format of a cell in a web report

Hello experts,
Is it possible to implement this in a Web Report/BEx query?
We have a list of products grouped into Company A and Company B. One key figure is for example Net Cost Price.
We need to highlight the lowest net cost price in every company but with a different colour depending on the company assuming prices are sorted in ascending order.
We have been recommended to use Web Design Api for Tables but we understand that in order to format a cell content we need to know the axis position of the cell but we don't know how many rows the query will display for every company. Is this kind of requirements only possible with "static" reports where we know exactly the number of rows and columns that are going to be displayed?
This is an example.
COMPANY      PRODUCTS    NET COST PRICE
Company A    Product 1    <b>5</b>
             Product 2    10
Company B    Product 1    <b>10</b>
             Product 2    20
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Inma

Hi Inma,
If you have already not solved your problem , you can try the following solution with table interface class.
Table interface class generates HTML table row by row so it first process the charecterstics and then KFs .
You define a attribute(type public) in class and set that attribute to X (In CHARECTERSTIC menthod)when ever the company code changes.
Then make use of that flag in DATA method to change the format of cell (Assuming you sorted by Ascending).
hope this helps.

I never really had much luck with this approach.
Mind you I was using Crystal Reports 10, and as far as I recall it didn't allow setting/changing of database at this level.
Things to check
- can you create a database connection on your page with this URL/username/password?
- what server are you using? Tomcat? WebLogic?
I found this in your other post:
Connection Information: {Server Name=ee6rpt, Connection String=DSN=s(ee6rpt);User ID=s(ee62test);Password=;UseDSNProperties=b(false), Database Name=, Database DLL=crdb_odbc.dll}That would indicate it is using odbc to connect to the database (crdb_odbc.dll). ODBC is a bad idea with java.
The way I have got it to work for me (after much trial and error) was to in Crystal Reports to connect using the Oracle Driver, and specifying a tnsname - eg define REPORT_DS in tnsnames.ora.
When running through the JRC, it looked for a JNDI datasource under that same name "REPORT_DS".
Don't know if that will help you or not.
Good luck,

I changed the format to an external drive and lost everything that was on it.

I changed the format on an external hard drive and lost everything that was on it. Is there a way to recover what was on it?

1) Partition your hard drive or add an external drive and install Snow Leopard (with the Optional Rosetta) into it and then you can dual-boot (System Preferences:Startup Disk) into Snow Leopard and run FCE 3.5 there.
2) Use one of the following methods to install FCE 3.5 into Mavericks:
a) Pacifist: http://www.charlessoft.com/
b) Jeremy Johnstone's Terminal method: http://www.jeremyjohnstone.com/blog/2012-03-11-installing-final-cut-pro-studio-2 -0-on-mac-os-x-10-7-lion.html
Reports on this forum seem to confirm that Final Cut Studio 2 will continue to operate in Mavericks once it is functionally installed, albeit some plug-ins may fail to function. FCE 3.5 is the same generation as FCS2, and presumably will continue to operate in Mavericks, as well.

To change the format of the list

Hi Guys ,
I have schduled a batchjob its a report program runs every week and after completion of the job it sends mail to the concerned guy with the details of the report .Its an Standard report everything is configured by using SM36 transaction .
Everything is fine but we have to change the format of the report to CSV could any one can guide me how can we change the format .
Thanks in advance,
Sathish.M

CSV means a text file, where the columns are separated by a character ";".
The best way to change a list to CSV is to create an internal table in the ABAP, with the structure of the required CSV.
You have to fill in this internal table.
Because you are running the program in background, you can't download the file, the best would be to store the file on the server in a separated directory.

Disable Crystal reports grey fields in the preview

Dear forum users, I've got an application not written by me (so I do not have source code) that displays a Report in a standard Crystal Report Viewer. In the preview when I click on a field it gets rounded with a grey border, filled with a grey background.
This is causing me some problems when I use the application via Remote Desktop Connection.
Since I don't like this feature the question is: can I disable this feature (maybe by changing an entry in the Registry Editor)?
Best regards
Alessandro

Hi Alessandro,
I think maynot be. whats the screen resolution of your system? If you change it probably you can see that particular grey box clearly.
or
try to export that file to excel or pdf. probably you will see the file with you vagueness.

Hi,
The other experts have guided you with the steps to change the property. However, you need to understand why is the design like this and what impact can it have on your system.
Usually, the accounts defined belong to the PnL or BL statements. There definitely can be some other accounts as well. The PnL and BS accounts can be either income (INC), expense (EXP), asset (AST) or liability and equity (LEQ). Changing the account type of these type of accounts can heavily impact your financial statements. So, you should carefully think over this before changing the property.
Hope this helps.

Vista/Adobe 9/sql image Error in Crystal Report:Failed to Export the Report

When I try to export my Crystal Report (v2008) from a Vista machine (using Crystal RDC export methods) as a PDF, I get the following error:
Error in Crystal Report: Failed to export the report.
This only happens when a particular subreport (that contains a sql image) prints (based on an input parameter). We have other subreports (within this same report) that print a sql image just fine. But, when this subreport prints, the above error appears.
I can run the same report on an XP machine without error.
Exportmodeller.dll and crtsv.dll are both installed and registered to the
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\bin folder
I have tried opening the report, removing the image, and then adding it back in again to the subreport.
Still receive the same error.
Any suggestions?

Don,
Can you please clarify?
Our VB6 app that uses Crystal XI RDC runtime components. Our Crystal reports are edited in CR2008 SP1 developer edition (not through the VB.NET embedded report designer). We have deployed the CRXIRelease 2 runtime components (via the merge module) to our client machines in order to execute the RDC.
We can print/preview/export to excel, but the pdf creation is failing with this error.
We are only using the RDC (which we know is no longer supported) because of huge issues with the Crystal for .NET methods we are having with our customers (I have an active case for this issue). Therefore, we have to rollback our .NET product and revert to the RDC code.
Vista is failing to create a PDF for a report developed in the CR2008 SP1 developer edition when using the RDC.
When you say "Also, those old dll's will not work in CR 2008. Last patches will give you the option to export to Excel in Legacy mode. We built it into our export dll.", what do you mean by "will not work in CR2008"?
Thank you

How can i change the Format of my DATE column?

I need to change the date format for a whole column. At present i can do MM-DD-YYYY. I need to change this this to DD-MMM-YYYY.
I know about the to_date function, i tried to apply it to change the format of my whole column by doing the following.....
CREATE TABLE "IT220_DATEHOLIDAY"
"DEPARTID" VarChar(2)NOT NULL ENABLE,
"HOLCODE" VARCHAR2(2)NOT NULL ENABLE,
"DEPARDATE" DATE,
to_date('DATE','DD-MMM-YYYY'), <<<change DATE column to DD-MMM-YYYY
CONSTRAINT "DATEHOLIDAY_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("DEPARTID") ENABLE
ORA-00902: invalid datatype <<<<This was the error message i received.
I am aware that the to_date function is supposed to be used to change strings into a certain format. I guess this means you cant do it with columns? Is there anyway i can format the whole column or do i have to do each string of data entered one by one?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Jay,
I'm not sure you hit the right forum, as this doesn't seem to be a problem with APEX.
Anyway:
You can't use that function on a table like that, and as you already suggested, the to_date-function expects a string value.
It seems you also have a misunderstanding of the basic datatypes in the database. DATE is such a datatype and is stored an internal format you don't need to care about. Each time your request the value, the database will give you a string representation according to either your locale or you give a certain formatting mask.
The same applies to insert or update operations: you hand in either a variable of type DATE or use a function like to_date to create an "object" of type date.
You may be interested in reading the documentation of the [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16508/toc.htm]Oracle Database Concepts. The section concerning datatype DATE can be found here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16508/tablecls.htm#CBBGJHJC
An overview of formatting options can be found here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17118/sql_elements004.htm#SQLRF00212
So to answer your question: You would format it as part of your insert operation, taking a string and convert it using to_date.

How can I use single hard drive for both Mac OS and Windows without changing the formats and reformatting?

I have a windows PC and a Macbook Air and a 1TB external hard drive. They said in order to transfer large files into the hard drive you have to change the format of your hard drive (which would be from MS-DOS to Mac Os extended) so how can I use my external hard drive on my windows PC without reformatting its files? Please heeeelp

Natively Windows can read and write to NTFS, FAT32, and exFAT while the Mac can read and write to FAT32, exFAT, and MacOS Extended.
Option 1: You can purchase driver software for Windows to allow it to read and write Mac's MacOS Extended or you can purchase a driver to allow the Mac to read and write to NTFS.
Option 2: you can format the hard drive for exFAT and use it with both Windows and the Mac without purchasing any special drivers. (Obviously the 4GB file size limit is why you don't want to use FAT32)
