Data from forms to reports

I have a form in which user induces certain calculations on data fetched from the database. But these calculations are just for display purpose in the form and are not posted to database. Now user wants a report of the data shown in the form along with any calculations done. Can anybody suggest me on how to create a report based on the data shown in the forms ?
I am using Forms 6i on Windows.

Hi,
I can see 2 scenarios here.
a. There is only 1 record of information at any point of time. What can be done in this case is, create a parameter list in the form and attach the values to the parameters and pass it on to the report. These parameters have to be present in the report.
b. There are multiple records at any point of time. In this case, whenever there is a need to call the report, just insert all the relevant information into a table. This table has to be created prior to this. Have an identifier generated for the transaction. If the report has to display 10 records, for instance, insert all the 10 records with a common identifier and pass the identifier to the report through a parameter list. Once the report is invoked, you can make display the data in the way you want them to be presented. If you do not need the data once the report is closed, make use of the AFTER REPORT built-in trigger to delete the records for the identifier.
Hope this helps.

  • PASSING DATA FROM FORM TO REPORT (how to on the same page?)

    Hello everybody
    yes, i know it is built in a two pages design where the first holds the form and the second the report, but I want it both on the same page so that one can see what he has on the report while adds his own row to the table. Well I could do creating a form and then editing the page and then add another region. Alright. But then i dont know how to relate them together so that the data pass from the form to the report.
    Besides, the Form for filling the data needs to pass them to two separate tables, because one table contains the particulars of the location and the other the comments about each store. Easy to do that on PHP and mysql but here I am lost.
    Second thing that is driving me nuts is that I created a table named location so as to street postcode for a store, and another one for evaluation so that customers or workers add a a row evaluating services etc.
    Well, I am trying to create that form i first talked about that would hold all the fields and I am doing it out of a SQL query that picks the definitions from both tables. My XE is completely empty from any leftovers of other applications etc. I make the equijoin alright
    select l.loc_id, l.company, l.postcode, l.street,l.town, e.eval_id, e.loc_id, e.locum_reg, e.date_booked, e.items, e.addicts, e.number_staff, e.attitude_staff, e.organisation, e.stock_filing, e.agency
    from location l, evaluation e
    where l.loc_id = e.loc_id
    and i get this annoying error all the time
    ORA-20001: Unable to create form on equijoin. ORA-20001: Error page=2 item="P2_LOC_ID" id="1324114494879878" ORA-20001: Error page=2 item="P2_LOC_ID" id="1324114494879878" has same name as existing application-level item. ORA-0000: normal, successful completion
    well, if that form is made up of both tables, it will definitively have to have something in common with them! how is the item name suppose to have another name? it is made with the wizzard so supposedly the wizzard should know it but I have tried for two days 14 hours each day.
    any indication as to how solve this would be priceless for me
    thank you

    I'm just guessing, but it appears since you are selecting loc_id twice (once from each table) there are two items generated called P2_LOC_ID, and that's simply not possible (well - how would the application know which one you mean if there could be two with the same name?).
    Maybe it's worth trying the following:
    select l.loc_id as "L_LOC_ID", l.company, l.postcode, l.street,l.town, e.eval_id, e.loc_id as "E_LOC_ID", e.locum_reg, e.date_booked, e.items, e.addicts, e.number_staff, e.attitude_staff, e.organisation, e.stock_filing, e.agency
    from location l, evaluation e
    where l.loc_id = e.loc_id
    Another option is creating a view on the two tables (of course you must use 2 different column aliases for the two loc_id columns in the view too, otherwise you will receive an ORA-00957: duplicate column name) and use the view for creating reports and forms - however, automatic row processing works just on one table, so you would have to create your own processes to perform the DML...
    Edit: I just saw you already got this answered in the APEX forum.

    This should be so:
    A person goes to work to place A
    At the end of the day, he or she goes into the web fills the form and clicks the botton. Then, he or she has added a row to the form. As simple as that. But bear in mind that that form is comprised of data about the address and the comments, which are completely different entities, and not all elements of each entity is to appear in the report. That is why they have to go to two tables on the background and then the report pick from each table what it wants to show publiclly.
    What I am actually trying to do is passing the values from the form into the two separate tables Location and Evaluation. Then I have already placed a select query under the report and I have seen that it updates itself as I manually filled the two tables so this process works fine. What I need is, instead of filling the tables manually as I am doing, fill them through the completion of the textfields of the form. This is so because not all the fields have to be shown on the report, for example, the person reporting will remain anonimous and that is something I am able to do by simply not including him in the select query of the report.
    I am like exploring now the edit page possibilities and indeed I have discovered that the button of the Form that says create is associated with a Insert request on the database. Also i have seen that the way this works is by something like this P3_POSTCODE, &P3_POSTCODE where P3 is the item and &P3 is the value that is in the textfield associated with that item name.

  • Passing date parameter from forms to report

    Hi,
    I'm using forms and reports 6i.
    I want to pass one date parameter from forms to reports.
    Using
    Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_FROM_DATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FROM_DT);
    giving me error REP-0091- Invalid value for parameter 'P_FROM_DATE'
    This i think is because report expects date and here it is converted as varchar.
    Please help

    Hi Divya,
    Even I use this kind of statement
    Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_FROM_DATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FROM_DT);and works fine for me.
    This i think is because report expects date and here it is converted as varchar
    Correct.
    Open the report in the builder and under Data Model -> User Parameters, Go to the Property Inspector of P_FROM_DATE. Under Parameter, set Datatype as Character instead of Date.
    Hope this should work. and tell me if it works(coz it wokred for me).

  • Data migration from Forms to Reports

    Hello,
    Does anyone know how to migrate numerous data from Oracle forms to reports, without using parameter lists or parameters, and also withour the use of temporary tables since my platform is 8.0.6 and forms 4.5?
    Thanks for any replies

    hi daniel,
    you could write your data from forms into a text file. seperate
    the values using for example a comma (or something else).
    use the text datasource in reports 9i to query directly from
    this file.

  • How to pass parameters from Forms to Reports

    dear all,
    i'm running a report from a form using run_product(), now i want
    to pass a parameter from a form to report, say i want to display
    all the employees of deptno=10, so what parameter should i give
    in run_product() and what modifications should i make in the
    report???
    thanks and regards
    Tariq.

    Yeah,
    You can pass parameters to from form to report using
    Parameter list. E.g. You want to display all employees of Dept
    10.
    1. Create report with one user paramter say p_dept
    2. Now Using Parameter list and Run Product you can call report,
    see following procedure.
    /* This Procedure passes department number as a paramter to
    Report and displays Report.
    Author - Mr. Adinath R. Kamode
    Parameter - Deptname (p_dept)
    PROCEDURE CALL_REPORT (V_DEPT IN NUMBER)
              V_PLIST          PARAMLIST;               -
    - Parameter List and Name
              V_PLISTNAME           VARCHAR2
    (30) := 'RPTLIST';
    BEGIN
    -- Check existance of Parameter List
              V_PLIST := GET_PARAMETER_LIST(V_PLISTNAME);
              IF ID_NULL (V_PLIST) THEN
                   V_PLIST := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST
    (V_PLISTNAME);
                   IF ID_NULL (V_PLIST) THEN

    -- Add parameter data , name must be same as in Report
         ADD_PARAMETER(V_PLIST,'P_DEPT',TEXT_PARAMETER,TO_CHAR
    (V_DEPT));     
    -- Don't display parameter Form

  • Not able insert ,query data from forms

    hi,
    I am not able to insert data or query data from forms(10g devsuite).getting error frm-40505,frm 40508 .i am able to insert and select record from sql plus.the block ihave created is control block .it is connected to the table using the properties.
    should i do anything to insert record.please help

    the block ihave created is control block .it is connected to the table using the properties.A Control Block, by definition, is a non-database block. This means the block is not directly connected to a table so you have to manually display data in the block and any DML you want to perform on data in this block you must do manually as well.
    There are four database objects you can base your database block on; 1) a Table, 2) a View, 3) From Clause Query (basically an In-line View), and 4) a database stored procedure. I recommend you use one of these four methods rather than manually display your data.

  • Carrying data from form to form

    Hi
    I have a problem with carrying data from form to form.
    Once a user logs in I want their name to appear on each screen of the application.
    I tried storing the name from the textfield using : textField.getString();
    But I keep getting an empty string as its picking up the blank textfield,
    How do I save the name that the user enters and be able to carry it on to all the other forms?
    Thank you for your help,
    Kind Regards

    According to my knowledge
    You have two options for storing login information.
    One way is to store Login info in the record store. but i think it is not a good one, as your session expires you should not require the login cache. so you should delete that data for better operations.
    Second option is to create a class which can act as a cache memory for your program.
    Follow these steps for this options.
    1. Create a cache class with all the public variables which you want to access.
    2. Create an object from main midlet of this class.
    3. Pass this object in each form with navigation.
    4. So every variable can be accessible from all the forms as object of this class is instantiated only once.
    Thank You.
