Discoverer - passing value into Parameter Field.

I would like to pass sysdate into a parameter I have created called "Start Date" and sysdate+30 into another one called "End Date" but have been unsuccessful.
Any ideas folks?
I have tried by putting in different combinations in the defaul value - including SQL etc but to no avail.
I am relatively new to Discoverer so apologies if its a stupid question and the functionality isnt there.
Thanks!
Sam

Hi,
The functionality isn't really there to do this, but there are a number of workarounds. The most frequently used workarounds are:
1. Create a list of values containing CURRENT_DATE as a text value using for example a custom folder containing:
SELECT 'CURRENT_DATE' date_field FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT TO_CHAR(other_dates) FROM another_table
Then in a condition decode CURRENT_DATE back to sysdate, e.g.
select_date = DECODE(:date_param, 'CURRENT_DATE', TRUNC(sysdate), TO_DATE(:date_param))
2. Use a NULL parameter to mean current date. The user will be prompted to enter NULL for the current date then you can decode this out in the condition:
select_date = DECODE(:date_param, NULL, TRUNC(sysdate), :date_param)
3. Use a date offset as the parameter, so that 0 is the current date, -1 is yesterday etc. You then use a condition like:
select_date = TRUNC(SYSDATE) + :date_param
Hope that helps,

Loading Values into Parameter Fields

Good Morning,
I have a traditional crystal 2008 report (not inside of VB .Net) that prompts the user for Parameter Fields when it starts up. In some cases the user does not want this. Instead they would like Crystal to be able to prefill these Parameter Fields from a file; when this happens the user would not see the parameter fields screen and would be taken directly to the crystal report.
Have anyone done anything like this? It is possible?

No, you could save the report with default values or save it with data but it won't change unless someone resaves the report.
Another way would be to save the Parameter values in a database and then remove the parameters from the report and add record selection based on that field. How you get the new values in is again up to you.
Stand alone CR doesn't have the ability.
Thank you
Don

Passing value to a field of SAP Program which do not have "Parameter ID"

Dear Experts,
My requirement is that i need to pass a value from my dialog program to a field of SAP Program which do not have "Parameter ID" attached to it.
For example: If you run SAP Transaction CS14, it has two sections viz., Primary BOM and Secondary BOM. I need to copy and create own screen using Dialog program. The screen appears in custom screen would be similar to that of the SAP Transaction CS14. If you check the fields, all the fields have "Parameter ID" attached to it, except for the following fields which do not have Parameter IDs are "Alternative", "Valid From" and "Required Qty".
Hence how do i pass value to those fields? Kindly help me
To those fields where "Parameter IDs" are attached, i can use below two statements:
Set parameter id <par> field <field>.
call transaction 'CS14' and skip first screen.

lwa_table-var2,
lwa_table-var3,
lwa_table-var4,
u2026.. up to lwa_table-var100.
My logic is I have to pass l_tot value .. based on the last letter like below.
if l_tot value is 1 we have pass to lwa_table-var1
if l_tot value is 2 we have pass to lwa_table-var2

Hi Friend,
U can do Following.....
data: text(12) type c.
data : num type n.
data: int type i.
data: begin of wa_test,
      var1,
      var2,
      var3,
      var4,
      end of wa_test.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs_wa> TYPE ANY.
do 4 times.
int = int + 1.
num = int.
CONCATENATE 'wa_test-' 'var' num into text.
ASSIGN (text) to <fs_wa>.
<fs_wa> = num.
UNASSIGN <fs_wa>.
enddo.
write : wa_test-var1 , wa_test-var2 , wa_test-var3 ,wa_test-var4 .
ouput will be :     1 2 3 4.
Lets take Your Scenario----
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Data: begin of lwa_table,
Var1,
Var2,
Var3,
u2026..
u2026u2026
Var100,
End of lwa_table.
Data: l_tot type i.
u2022     For example l_tot = 36.
u2022     Then u want to pass the same to lwa_table36.
For this do followingu2026..
Now Define-->>>
data: text(13) type c.
data : num type n.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs_wa> TYPE ANY.
*Now till now we done all the data definitions now u have to do following to pass it dynamically,
l_tot = 36.
Num = l_tot.
CONCATENATE lwa_table-' 'var' num into text.
ASSIGN (text) to <fs_wa>.
<fs_wa> = num.
UNASSIGN <fs_wa>.
Write : lwa_table-var36.
Output will be 36.
Hope this resolves ur issue,

How to put the SQL-statement returned value into the field (as a default)

Hi,
I am using Developer/2000 (Forms Designer) under windows 98.
Please tell me how to put the SQL-statement value (as a default value) into the field before enter-query mode. Noted that I have tried the following ways but still some problems:-
1) Place the SQL-statement into PRE_QUERY trigger in the form/block level.
There is a message box which ask 'Do you want to save the changes?'.
2) Place the SQL-statement before execute enter_query. There is still a
message box which ask 'Do you want to save the changes?'.
Any hints? Thanks. Urgent.

solved it!
1) Suppress DEFAULT save message
if form_failure then
raise form_trigger_failure;
end if;
2) Place the default value before enter-query.
Ref: Title='Default value in query field in ENTER_QUERY mode' in designer forum by CVZ
form level trigger
============
WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE
=======================
if :system.mode = 'ENTER-QUERY' then
:block.item := 'default waarde';
end if;
3) Suppress the changes whenever leaving the default field.
if :block.item is null then
-- assign statement
end if;

How to pass values in dynamic fields in LX03

HI ,
i want to pass values for dyanmic fields in lx03 program by calling this in my own program through call transction or submit report .

LX03 is the report program so you have to use Submit report.
See the simple example :
REPORT ZTEST_98 .
DATA: t_param LIKE rsparams OCCURS 10 WITH HEADER LINE.
parameters p_LGNUM like lagp-lgnum obligatory.
start-of-selection.
      t_param-selname = 'S1_LGNUM'.
      t_param-kind = 'P'.
      t_param-low = p_lgnum.
      APPEND t_param.
*-- Period
SUBMIT RLS10030 VIA SELECTION-SCREEN
                          WITH SELECTION-TABLE t_param
                          AND RETURN.
Just press F1 on submit and you get good documentation.

How can we prevent a user from entering a value in Parameter Field?

how can we prevent a user from entering a value in Parameter Field and Select-options Field?

make it invisible, make it inactive, make it display only.
if the field is not there or not to be seen the user WILL have problems inputting data.
BUT once the field is there you can NOT prevent that the user fills it with data.
all you can do is on PAI check if the data the user inputted was good or bad, and clear his inputs, but you can NOT prevent him inputting something.

How to passing value into Captivate from html?

How to passing value into Captivate from html?
Or
How to communicate between objects in one slides?

Hi czhao0378 and welcome to the forums!
Captivate does not natively allow you to communicate your own
data, either internally or externally. The only way to make this
happen is to create your own functionality, either via custom-built
Flash objects or JavaScript code executed in the browser or a
combination of both.
The only example I've seen of any "data passing" inside
Captivate is a custom text input/output solution that was posted on
the Captivate Developer Exchange:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&loc=en_us&extid=1253 021
This solution consists of an input box that takes information
from the user on one slide and a second box that displays that
information on another slide. The functionality was built in Flash
and is embedded in Captivate as a Flash "animation". Unfortunately,
since this is a custom functionality, the information is not
included in the user completion results Captivate can pass to a
Learning Management System.
Since the solution mentioned above relies on a Flash
Actionscript variable to hold the information that is displayed,
you can also pass the information from HTML to Captivate using the
"SetVariable" command in JavaScript. This would at least allow you
to display your own HTML-based data inside Captivate.
Beyond that, I'm not aware of any other way to gather and
pass data in Captivate.

Multiple Checkbox Values Into One Field

Hopefully someone can help me with this issue I'm having.
I'm trying to save the values of multiple selected checkboxes into one field separated by commas through ADDT's Insert Transaction code. I can do this easily with DW's standard insert record wizard by using the PHP implode() function but I haven't been able to figure it out with ADDT's code.
<form>
<input type="checkbox" value="1" name="program[]" /> Program One
<input type="checkbox" value="2" name="program[]" /> Program Two
<input type="checkbox" value="3" name="program[]" /> Program Three
<input type="checkbox" value="4" name="program[]" /> Program Four
</form>
THIS IS ADDT'S CODING
$ins_quoteManager->addColumn("programs", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "programs");
THIS WORKS VIA DREAMWEAVER'S INSERT RECORD WIZARD
Original: GetSQLValueString($_POST['programs'], "text"),
Modified: GetSQLValueString(implode(',',$_POST['programs']), "text"),
Anyone know how to modify the ADDT code with the implode function to get this to work?

Have you tried ADDT´s "comma-separated checkboxes" form control, which will also store the values into a field of your choice (and of course retrieve them from there on update record - pages) ? The only possible drawback might be, that the checkboxes can´t be defined statically, means that the array of value/label - pairs will be retrieved from another table by establishing an additional recordset.
Cheers,
Günter

Set default value for parameter fields

Good day!
Situation:
1. I have 2 parameter fields in reports (dateFrom and dateTo)
2. Before running report in ASP.NET I change value this fields (dateTo = today, dateFrom = today - 3 days)
3.I use for this source:
foreach (ParameterField crParam in CrystalReportSource1.ReportDocument.ParameterFields)
                        CrystalDecisions.Web.Parameter crParametr = new CrystalDecisions.Web.Parameter();
                        string ParametrName = crParam.Name;
                        crParametr.Name = ParametrName;
                          crParametr.DefaultValue = ActionReportParameter.GetParametrValue(ReportName, ParametrName);
                         CrystalReportSource1.Report.Parameters.Add(crParametr);
4. And repurt run without request value parameter fields.
5. BUT!!! now I need request value parameter fields before report start running - I want set default values for filelds and offer user change its before report start run.
How do this?
Thanks

I believe you need to create your own parameter promt screen. Capture what the user entered and pass that to the report(?).

Hey Vijay,
you sound like a man on the mission - want everytihng done in a SINGLE SHOT
I am not sure if i understand your requirement correctly, but my infernce is that you want to copy data from clipboard to the object values with little / no effort........(prime criteria )
Well, have the values listed one below the other in a notepad, copy them ctrl+C and in SAP have the quick cut and paste option active.
Now go to the object values and right click - you will have 7 rows of data copied, if you want more - repeat the exercise
If you want to reach the moon, you have to pass-by some stars as well (Dumb and in-appropriate quote - I KNOW)
If my understanding of the discussion is wrong - Blame it on the Monday morning Blues...............and have fun

Passing values to hidden fields in screens

Hi ,
I have designed a screen which has i field which is output only, and two fields which are hidden.. the output only field gets populated when i select value from an alv tht pops up on the screen based on certain conditions.. the hidden fields should also be populated than.. but the hidden fields are not getting populated i think..
i have assigned a t-code to this screen,
and i need to call this transaction from another program passing values to all the fields.. i used parameter id for all teh fields, but values are not getting populated in the hidden and display fields. i gets in when i make it input enabled.. but i cannot let users enter values in 1 field, and i do not want users to see the other field.. What do i do???? please give your valuable suggestions. .a ny idea how to correct the issue?
Regards,
Suzie

Hi,
If you want one of the fields to be grey mode you can do that statically in the screen painter or dynamically in the progarm
in PBO
loop at screen
if screen-name = 'TO_BE_GREY_MODE'.
SCREEN-INPUT = 0
ENDIF
endloop
for hidden fields if the screen name and the variable name in the program are same the data transfer takes place but the users cannot see this.

Populate a value into a field on a screen using userexit

Hi all,
I am using a standard program 'RIPLKO10' and a user exit include 'ZXAD2U04' to update a field to the screen. When i run the program the userexit gets triggerred, but i do not know how can i update the field value. Can anyone please tell me how can i achieve this.
Thanks,
Rajesh,

Hi,
Check if there is an export parameter, through which u can pass/update the field value and most of the exits will have a flag --> is_exit_active , pass 'X' to this field if available, so that the values do not get overwritten in the standard program.
Rgds,
Hema
