Crystal report: How to concatenate the string whilereadingrecords?

I have description field in the database and I need to concatenate the value of the filed into one line. How to do that? I tried as below
Stringvar strtitle="";
whilereadingrecords;
if Mid({OrderDtl.PartNum},1,2)="T3" Then
strtitle & "T3- Background Music,"
Else if Mid({OrderDtl.PartNum},1,2)="T6" then
strtitle & "T6- Dance"
This is not working and showing only last value instead of concatenated string. I am very new to Crystal report and i am using Crystal report 2008
Thanks,
Raj

Hi Raj,
I guess you're trying to concatenate the descriptions so that they appear on a single line, perhaps, on the report footer?
Try this formula:
whilereadingrecords;
stringvar strtitle;
strtitle := strtitle + ">" + {description_field_from_database}
The ">" sign is to separate the records from each other; you may choose to remove this from the formula or use another separator.
Place the above formula in the details section and suppress the section.
Create this formula to display the result and place it in the Report Footer section:
evaluateafter(@Name_of_the_above_formula);
stringvar strtitle;
Let me know how this goes!

Crystal Report: How to make the fixed height box in all pages.

Post Author: WTech
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I want to make the height of box fixed size in all pages. The box in outside the detail section. Currently the size of the box changes according to the content of the detail section. Could anyone suggest me how should i achieve it ?

Hi srinivasan,
If you want to keep "Save" and "Stop" common, Why do you want to keep them on Tab control? Is your tab control taking entire space on Front panel? If so, you can have SAVE and STOP on other vi, and you can call this vi (MODAL).

Hyperlink on Crystal Report: how to popup a window without menubar?

Hyperlink on Crystal Report: how to popup a window without menubar?
Hello Experts!
I'm using VS2003 with Crystal Reports for VS2003.
I need to show a popup window clicking a hyperlink text object on my crystal report.
On the CrystalReportViewer I have set up HyperlinkTarget=_blank, and it's working fine.
But when I click on the hyperlink and shows the popup window, how can I show the popup window without menubar, toolbar, directories, etc.
Something like:
window.open('../MyPage.html?id=id001" + Cad + "',null,'menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,resizable=yes,status=yes')

Adam is correct. The closest you can get is setting the CrystalReportViewers HyperlinkTarget to _blank. It was seen as a potential security vulnerability to allow you to run scripts from a Crystal Reports. In our Enterprise product you can use a reg key called EncodeHTMLForSingleLineFieldObjects to control whether this can be turned on or off.
Unfortunately this was never ported over to our .NET CrystalReportViewer.
This is referenced in notes 1202803, 1219298, and 1219301.

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,

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

Crystal Report Formula for traversing the Hierarchy

Hi Friends,
I have a Hierarchy Node Variable in Query Designer and I use the same in my Crystal Report.
I need to create a formula, which will traverse and find all of the child nodes of the selected Hierarchy Node (through the variable). Could you please let me know if this is possible and send me the code.
Thanks in Advance!
Regards,
Vinaya Paulraj.

Hi Vinaya
In Crystal, under the 'Report' menu, there is an item called ''Hierarchical Grouping Options'. This item allows you to sort information based on the relationship between two fields.
For example:
The following example is based on using the sample database called Xtreme that ships with Crystal Reports and Xtreme's Employee table.
There is an {Employee ID} field and {Reports to} field in the Employee table. These fields both contain an Employee ID number. There can be employees with employees that report to them. In other words, there can be employees that report to a higher level of management. You want to see the overall hierarchy of the employees. To do so, you would use the 'Hierarchical Grouping Option' in Crystal Reports.
To view the employee hierarchy from the Employee table, complete the following:
1. Create a group and group on {Employee ID}. You want to group on {Employee ID} because you want to see the overall hierarchy of employees.
· From the 'Insert' menu, select 'Group'.
· From the 'Insert Group' dialog box, select {Employee.Employee ID} in the first drop-down list.
· Click 'OK'.
2. Create a hierarchical group.
· From the 'Report' menu, select 'Hierarchical Grouping Options'.
· Select 'Sort Data Hierarchically'.
· Select {Reports to} from the drop-down list for 'Parent ID'. In this example, the {Reports to} field is the parent field; therefore, we must select it in the 'Parent ID' field.
3. Indenting the hierarchical group, you must enter a value between 0 and 4 inches.
The 'Group Indent' setting only affects the display of the report. If you enter a value other than zero (0) the various levels of hierarchy will appear indented when the report is previewed. Thus making it easier to see the various groups of employees, managers, etc.
For more information, search the online help for 'Grouping data hierarchically'.

Girish

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.

Need a Crystal Report formula to concatenate strings during reading records

I have a report that takes partnumbers and cross references them with other partnumbers.
I have this information in the details
Partnumber   XRef                          I need this as the string
A                  B                              B
A                  C                              B,C
A                  D                              B,C,D
And then start the a new string when it gets to a new partnumber. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks
siboyd

Hi,
please create a formula field named "MySharedVariableTestGroupHeader" with the following code:
shared StringVar mySharedVar := "Start";
Then create a second formula field named "MySharedVariableTestDetails" with the following code:
shared StringVar mySharedVar;
mySharedVar := mySharedVar + " Next ";
Now create a thrid formula field named "MySharedVariableTestGroupFoot" with the following code:
shared StringVar mySharedVar;
mySharedVar;
Insert the newly created formula fileds in your report as follows:
MySharedVariableTestGroupHeader -> Group header section
MySharedVariableTestDetails -> Details section
MySharedVariableTestGroupFoot -> Group footer section
Watch what is displayed in your group footer.
I hope I am able to give you an idea about what you can do by using shared variables in Crystal Reports.

Stratos

ISQL*PLUS dynamic reports - how to pass connect string in the URL

When we run dynamic reports thru ISQL*PLUS, does anyone know how
to pass the connect string info in the URL
The following is the code from ISQL*PLUS users guide but it
dosen't show how to pass the connect string
when I tried to pass hr/your_secret_password@dbserver for userid
I got an error msg
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>iSQL*Plus Dynamic Report</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>iSQL*Plus Report</H1>
<H2>Query by Employee ID</H2>
<FORM METHOD=get ACTION="http://host.domain/isqlplus">

</HTML>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks
Jay

The form you use should work when your change
"hr/your_secret_password" to a valid username, password
and connect identifier like "hr/hr@MYDB". Don't forget to
configure MYDB in your tnsnames.ora file on the machine that has
the iSQL*Plus server.
What was the error you got?
The full URL syntax did seem to go missing from the 9.0.1 doc.
See below for the full syntax. This should be appearing in a
forthcoming FAQ.
- CJ
What syntax can I use to run an iSQL*Plus Dynamic Report?
You can run a dynamic report by entering the report URI in the
location field of your browser, or by making the report server a
link or the action for an HTML form. The iSQL*Plus 9i Release 1
documentation has examples of these.
The general syntax for running a dynamic report is:
{uri}?[userid=logon&]script=location[&param...]
where uri
Represents the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)
of the iSQL*Plus Server, for example:
http://host.domain/isqlplus
where logon
Represents the log in to the database to which you
want to connect:
{username[/password][@connect_identifier]}
where location
Represents the URI of the script you want to run.
The syntax is:
http://[host.domain/script_name]
The host serving the script does not have to be
the same as the machine running the iSQL*Plus server.
where param
Specifies the named parameters for the script you
want to run.
Named parameters consist of varname=value pairs.
iSQL*Plus will define the variable varname to equal value prior
to executing the script e.g.
...script=http://server/s1.sql&var1=hello&var2=world
This is equivalent to the SQL*Plus commands:
SQL> define var1=hello
SQL> define var2=world
SQL> @http://server/s1.sql
iSQL*Plus, SQL*Plus and SQL keywords are reserved
and must not be used as the variable names (varname). Note also,
that since variables are delimited by the ampersand character,
there is no requirement to enclose space delimited values with
quotes. However, to embed the ampersand character itself in the
value, it will be necessary to use quotes.
For compatibility with older scripts using the &1
variable syntax, varname may be replaced with the equivalent
variable position as in:
...script=http://server/s1.sql&1=hello&2=world
Note the & is the URL parameter separator and not
related to the script's substitution variable syntax.
Commands and script parameters may be given in any
order in the dynamic report URI. However, please note that if any
parameters begin with reserved keywords such as "script" or
"userid" then it may be interpreted as a command rather than a
literal parameter.
