Crystal Report. How to create sort field programmatically?

After updating CrystalReports to version 13.0.10 I noticed a strange feature in Details section. I'm filling in the Subreport Details section from the User Table. Previously the data was displayed in the order it was in the database. Every time I open the report data now it is displayed in a different order. There is a huge amount of crystal report documents and I am not able to change each document. Is it possible to add a new sorting field programmatically? (I found only how to change existing sort fields)

Hi Aliaksandr,
I used the top right corner search box on this page and enterred "sort, field, runtime, crystal, sdk, .net" keywords.
Here are the first three results.

Crystal report - how to split a field into more fields

Hello,
I`m new to Crystal reports and I`ve got a trouble. I have field which contains an address - street, city, zip code. The example is:
STEHLIKOVA 977 165 00 PRAHA 620 - SUCHDOL 165 00.
What I need to achieve is to split this string into three separated fields. I`ve trouhg a couple of forums but haven`t been able to find a proper answer. The problem is that the addresses differ so I can`t use an absolute defining of a start position. Looking at the DB (HEXA code) the parts in the string are divided by two dots:
STEHLIKOVA 977..165 00 PRAHA 620 - SUCHDOL..165 00
I`ve been able to work out this solution:
stringVar array x := split({cparty.STREET_ADD},"..");
Local numberVar i;
Local stringVar outputString := "";
For i:=1 to Count(x) do
outputString := outputString + x[i] + Chr(10)
outputString;
It splits the string into three rows:
STEHLIKOVA 977
165 00 PRAHA 620 - SUCHDOL
165 00
And I don`t know how to find the end of each row so to be able to separate the strings and report them as three different fields.
Would be anyone so kind and help me out with this?
Thank you.
Petr

Hi
Actually using a for loop is not necessary here. All you need to do is to add several formula fields: one for street, one for city and one for zipcode. In @street field you add formula:
stringVar array x := split({cparty.STREET_ADD},Chr(13));
x[1];
Then you drag such formula field to details section of your report and watch preview to check if everything looks alright. Repeat for every formula field that you'd like see in your report.
In @city you add almost identical formula but you change index, i. e. instead of x[1] you need to use x[2]. Then for @zip x[3].
You may need to check if your address has all three parts - for example if you want to use formula in the second part of your address field you may need check first if there are at least two parts after split:
stringVar array := split({cparty.STREET_ADD},Chr(13));
numbervar c;
c := count(x);
if 2 <= c then
x[c];
Var 'c' is used to store the number of elements in array after split. Then I'd like to check if the part (second) actually exists. So I try to check if number of part that I want to refer to is not bigger than the number of elements in array after split (here stored in var 'c').
Actually the code presented above is not enough since you have no guarantee that you'll always get address structured in the very same way. For example in demo PL database I have zip code and city in the same row after split with Chr(13) as delimiter.
You'll need to experiment or ask someone to prepare correctly structured data coming from B1 to your report.
Kind regards,
Radek

Crystal report ( how to create a hyper link for the crystal report file)

hello all,
how to create a hyperlink for my report file....nd i want it open in excel format.

Hello Uher,
sorry for the insufficient details,
actually we are calling some actuate reports from actuate server, and the URL looks like this
"https://iconsole.xxx.com/iconsole/viewer/viewreport.jsp?
outputFileType=XLSX&fromwhere=viewDocument&outputName=
/filelocation/ReportOutputs/Reportname.xlsx&serverurl
=http://xx.xxx.com:8010&volume=xxx&userid=xxx&password=xxx"
which would generate an excel output,
my question is, can we have some url in which we would specify the output format, as far my research i found URL reporting
some thing like this
"http://" + servername +
":8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?outputfiletype=xlsx/
filelocation/userlogondetails
but my client needs an excel output, with out going through any web page or viewer controls and generating buttons.
Thank you

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.

Crystal Reports Viewer 2008 and parameter fields

Hello,
I saw this product on the main Crystal Reports site this afternoon and decided to download it to try it out. I have a number of users who would benefit from being able to preview their report results prior to actually running the report. This seems like the perfect product. I have a large number of Crystal Reports which were created in Crystal version XI. I also downloaded the free 30 day version of Crystal Reports 2008 yesterday to see what new features are there.
While testing Crystal Reports Viewer, I tried to run one of my reports which needs a parameter to run properly (account number). This type of parameter is needed for probably 98% of this business' reports.
The problem: Crystal Reports Viewer does not prompt me to input the parameter. In my actual Crystal Report, I had the box "Save Data with Report' left unchecked, as the account number frequently changes. However, if that box is left unchecked, Crystal Reports Viewer will give me the error message "No Saved Data. This report file does not contain saved data and cannot be viewed. To get data into the report, please open and re-save it in the Crystal Reports designer application with the "Save Data with Report" option selected."
Thinking that possibly it was the version of Crystal Reports in which the report was created (XI), I downloaded the free trial of Crystal 2008 and created a very simple test report with one parameter for account number where the account number is retrieved from our database. And I am having the same trouble.
The "Help" section of Crystal Reports Viewer tells me that I can select my parameters in the parameter panel. I do not see anything in my parameter panel other than the words "Current Data Set Last refreshed: 04/12/10 2:58 PM". The help tells me that I can "select the parameter directly in this panel by entering a new value", but there is no option to do so.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
Noel

What I've learned is that I was originally using Crystal Viewer XI and upon opening it I received a message indicating there was an update.
I ran the update which put me on Crystal Viewer 2008.
Since then I have not been able to refresh my screen to bring up the parameters.
See the attached forum for another post concerning this same issue.

How to create a field with 1200 chars length

Hi,
Will anybody let me know how to create a field with length 1200 in a table.
Regards,
Madhavi

Hi Madhvi,
Other thing what you can do is
1. First create a Table type.
Goto SE11-> Dataelements ->Table type
There on the next screen select Predefine radio button & there provide data type & size.
2. Create a structure having a field typa of Table type created before. say that field is quant.
Now in your program refer that structure to create an internal table & work area.
Now if u append ur text to the field quant.
try creating line type of size more that 255 if it works then fine other wise reduce it.
Note:: This will be a deep structure.
so first append value to the field quant, the at the end of first record append valu to ur internal table.
thanks

How to create Lookup field in user form in OIM 11g - Urgent

Hi Experts,
How to create Lookup field in User Form - OIM 11g.
Pls. provide your support on priority.
Regards
Karan

Thanks all for your suggestion.
Our requirement, is we need to have a user defined field similar to how its there in "Organisation".
For example we need to create an user defined field like "Service Holding" which holds different services say like Service 1, Service 2, Service 3 etc.
Under each service there are multiple roles....
Eg:
Service 1 - Role 1, Role 2, Role 3
Service 2 - Role 4, Role 5
Service 3 - Role 6, Role 7, Role 8
Is there a way to store multi-valued attribute in OIM UDF? If so, pls. guide us
If its not possible we would need to create a Lookup field (something similar to Organization or Manager). User clicks on the button (lens button), which should invoke an API wherein he can select specific Roles and save in User. Eg. like Service 1 - Role 1#Service 2 # Role 5 and store in the backend database.
Is this possible. Pls. guide.

Karan

How to create an IDoc programmatically at Inbound side?

Hi,
How to create an IDoc programmatically at Inbound side?
Assume that you have a file(material master details) which is enough to create master data.
Regards,
Thiyagu

Read the documentation of this FM first:

                                                                                IDoc inbound processing via tRFC
Functionality
                                                                                This function module starts inbound processing in the case of port type
    "tRFC". The function module is a successor to INBOUND_IDOC_PROCESS,
    which processes IDocs in the Release 4.0 record types. If you are
    processing IDocs in Release 3.X record types, the function module
    INBOUND_IDOC_PROCESS must still be called.
The function module checks the ID 'EDI_MES' in authorization object
    B_ALE_RECV against the received message type.
The IDocs are saved by the function module IDOC_INBOUND_WRITE_TO_DB (a
    COMMIT for all IDocs) and then transferred directly to the application
    by the dispatcher module IDOC_START_INBOUND.
Parameter

How to change report attributes like heading, sort etc programmatically

Some of the columns from a classic reports using pl/sql as region source should be sortable. Is it possible to change this attribute (sort = yes) using JavaScript or APEX API?
David
Edited by: david on Sep 6, 2011 11:56 PM

There is something I don't understand here. Why do you need to point at the sxd? What is changing? Like I mentioned before. If the contents of the xsd change, all the report will do is - at best - drop the changed fields so you will be missing data. Perhaps some of the following will help;

Crystal Report Bursting based on a field in the report

Hi,
I have a crystal report with Invoice Number as a field in it. I need to burst the report with following as the output.
1. Destination: FTP server
2. Format : PDF : One PDF for every invoice.
I was trying to use Publication through Infoview. I would like to know how to achieve this.
I do not have any parameters in the report or any group of users/recipients. Hence, I have not created any Profiles.
Thanks in advance.
Girish

Add your CR report as source document and then choose to have Dynamic recipients for your publication. Use there as source for the recipients' list the same report you want to burst. As Recipient identifier select the field that contains the invoice ID.
In the personalization panel go to the Filters area and select in the Report field drop down your invoice field from the report. In the Dynamic recipients mapping drop down select again the field containing the invoice ID.
Select the appropriate settings in the destination and format panels and let at least on BO user subscribe to the publication .
After that you can run the publication.

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 Reports: How to change Oracle OLE DB server at runtime

Post Author: dvlasman
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I'm using a rpt made with Crystal Reports 8.0.1 and VB 6. The report was made using the Microsoft OLE DB provider for Oracle. What I want to do is change to Oracle server / database the report is connecting to at run time before the report is displayed. I am using the Crystal Report Engine 8 Object Library (cpeaut32.dll), not the ocx.After creating the report object:Dim CrystalReport As CRPEAuto.ReportI open my report and discard saved data:'Open The ReportSet CrystalReport = CrystalApplication.OpenReport(msReportSource)CrystalReport.DiscardSavedDataConst sDBServer = "ORCL.SERVER" 'My TNS name for the Oracle ServerConst sDatabase = "ORCL.SERVER" 'I'm not sure what this value should beConst sUID = "system"Const sPwd = "manager"I was then going to change the database connection one of two ways:1:Dim objDatabaseTable As CRPEAuto.DatabaseTableFor Each objDatabaseTable In CrystalReport.Database.Tables Call objDatabaseTable.SetLogOnInfo(sDBServer, sDATABASE, sUID, sPWD) If (Not objDatabaseTable.TestConnectivity) Then Debug.Print "Database failed connection: " & objDatabaseTable.Name End IfNextSet objDatabaseTable = Nothing2:call crystalapplication.LogOnServer("pdsoledb.dll","MSDAORA.1",sDATABASE,sUID,sPWD)Neither of these two way gets me a successful connection. What am I doing wrong, and which is the preferred method to use?ThanksDean

Did you get a resolution to your problem? I cannot dynamically change the datasource location in .NET using CR XI via OLE DB for Oracle.
