Display parameter values

Hi All,
   I have a parameter list of values that are ID's. I would like to display on the report header, the list of values selected but show the name associated with the ID.
Example:
My parameter derives from a table:
ID    Name
1   Chocolate
2   Strawberry
3   Vanilla
The parameter is using the ID. How can I get around to displaying the name in a textbox versus the ID?
Thank you in advance,

Antoine,
Rather than trying to run through all the steps (there are more than a few), I went ahead and made up a sample report that uses 2 different methods to get the same result.
I'm assuming that you are using a mult-valued parameter and that you want the descriptions strung together as an array in the header.
The 1st header uses a SQL Command and the 2nd uses a standard table. The report itself is based an ODBC connection using the SQL Native Client, to the AdventureWorks sample database that ships with SQL Server 2005. Try which ever method you prefer.

Need Help: Dynamically displaying parameter values for a procedure.

Problem Statement: Generic Code should display the parameter values dynamically by taking "package name" and "procedure name" as inputs and the values needs to be obtained from the parameters of the wrapper procedure.
Example:
a) Let us assume that there is an application package called customer.
create or replace package spec customer
as
begin
TYPE cust_in_rec_type IS RECORD
cust_id NUMBER,
,cust_name VARCHAR2(25) );
TYPE cust_role_rec_type IS RECORD
(cust_id NUMBER,
role_type VARCHAR2(20)
TYPE role_tbl_type IS TABLE OF cust_role_rec_type INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
Procedure create_customer
p_code in varchar2
,p_cust_rec cust_in_rec_type
,p_cust_roles role_tbl_type
end;
b) Let us assume that we need to test the create customer procedure in the package.For that various test cases needs to be executed.
c) We have created a testing package as mentioned below.
create or replace package body customer_test
as
begin
-- signature of this wrapper is exactly same as create_customer procedure.
procedure create_customer_wrapper
p_code in varchar2
,p_cust_rec customer.cust_in_rec_type
,p_cust_roles customer.role_tbl_type
as
begin
//<<<<<---Need to display parameter values dynamically for each test case-->>>>>
Since the signature of this wrapper procedure is similar to actual app procedure, we can get all the parameter definition for this procedure using ALL_ARGUMENTS table as mentioned below.
//<<
select * from ALL_ARGUMENTS where package_name = CUSTOMER' and object_name = 'CREATE_CUSTOMER'
but the problem is there are other procedures exists inside customer package like update_customer, add_address so need to have generalized code that is independent of each procedure inside the package.
Is there any way to achieve this.
Any help is appreciated.
// >>>>
create_customer
p_code => p_code
,p_cust_rec => p_cust_rec
,p_cust_roles => p_cust_roles
end;
procedure testcase1
as
l_cust_rec customer.cust_in_rec_type ;
l_cust_roles customer.role_tbl_type;
begin
l_cust_rec.cust_id := 1;
l_cust_rec.cust_name := 'ABC';
l_cust_roles(1).cust_id := 1;
l_cust_roles(1).role_type := 'Role1';
create_customer_wrapper
p_code => 'code1'
,p_cust_rec => l_cust_rec
,p_cust_roles => l_cust_role
end;
procedure testcase2
as
l_cust_rec customer.cust_in_rec_type ;
l_cust_roles customer.role_tbl_type;
begin
l_cust_rec.cust_id := 2;
l_cust_rec.cust_name := 'DEF';
l_cust_roles(1).cust_id := 2;
l_cust_roles(1).role_type := 'Role2';
create_customer_wrapper
p_code => 'code2'
,p_cust_rec => l_cust_rec
,p_cust_roles => l_cust_role
end;
end;

Not possible to dynamically in a procedure, deal with the parameter values passed by a caller. There is no struct or interface that a procedure can use to ask the run-time to give it the value of the 1st or 2nd or n parameter.
There could perhaps be some undocumented/unsupported method - as debugging code (DBMS_DEBUG) is able to dynamically reference a variable (see Get_Value() function). But debugging requires a primary session (the debug session) and the target session (session being debugged).
So easy answer is no - the complex answer is.. well, complex as the basic functionality for this do exists in Oracle in its DBMS_DEBUG feature, but only from a special debug session.
The easiest way would be to generate the wrapper itself, dynamically. This allows your to generate code that displays the parameter values and add whatever other code needed into the wrapper. The following example demonstrates the basics of this approach:
SQL> -- // our application proc called FooProc
SQL> create or replace procedure FooProc( d date, n number, s varchar2 ) is
2 begin
3 -- // do some stuff
4 null;
5 end;
6 /
Procedure created.
SQL>
SQL> create or replace type TArgument is object(
2 name varchar2(30),
3 datatype varchar2(30)
4 );
5 /
Type created.
SQL>
SQL> create or replace type TArgumentList is table of TArgument;
2 /
Type created.
SQL>
SQL> -- // create a proc that creates wrappers dynamically
SQL> create or replace procedure GenerateWrapper( procName varchar2 ) is
2 procCode varchar2(32767);
3 argList TArgumentList;
4 begin
5 select
6 TArgument( argument_name, data_type )
7 bulk collect into
8 argList
9 from user_arguments
10 where object_name = upper(procName)

14 for i in 1..argList.Count
15 loop
16 procCode := procCode||argList(i).name||' '||argList(i).datatype;
17 if i < argList.Count then
18 procCode := procCode||', ';
19 end if;
20 end loop;
21
22 procCode := procCode||') as begin ';
23 procCode := procCode||'DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line( '''||procName||''' ); ';
24
25 for i in 1..argList.Count
26 loop
27 procCode := procCode||'DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line( '''||argList(i).name||'=''||'||argList(i).name||' ); ';
28 end loop;
29
30 -- // similarly, a call to the real proc can be added into the test wrapper

Display parameter values in separate sheet in Crystal Reports 2008

Dear all,
I am using CR 2008 SP6 and I want to provide/display the values of the parameters which the user has entered before executing the Crystal report.
Is there any way to display this values, maybe on a separate sheet or area within the report?
Any idea would be great.
Best regards,
Stefanos from Munich/Germany

For single-value parameters, simply drag them to the report canvas to display them. For more complext cases, see Printing Parameter Selections for Multiple or RangeValues in Crystal Reports</title></head><body><!…

Displaying parameter value in the report output

Hi,
I have a requirement to display the value 'All' in the report when the user selects 'All' from the list box. Can anyone suggest a way?
E.g.
My LOV input to the report has following values, 'A', 'B', 'C', 'All'.
If I select 'All', all the values A, B, C go into the query . But I need to display this I/P parameter as a field in the RTF showing 'All' in it.

u can try like this
if they select all u will have 'a,'b','c' as value in the xml tag right so always the string length of that xml field will be same when you select all . SAY STRING LENGTH WILL be 10 when user select ALL
( check the string how much is the value when you select ALL and implement this)
we can try using string length
<?xdoxslt:ifelse(number(string-length(XML_FIELD_TAG))>=10,'ALL',XML_FIELD_TAG)?>
or
<?xdoxslt:ifelse(number(string-length(//XML_FIELD_TAG))>=10,'ALL',//XML_FIELD_TAG)?>
So it will display ALL when user selects ALL else the selected value.
if you are not having parameter values as xml tag then you have use like this
<?xdoxslt:ifelse(number(string-length($XML_FIELD_TAG))>=10,'ALL',$XML_FIELD_TAG)?>
assign some points if helpful.

To display parameter value

Is it possible using SBO, getting a value as Parameter and displaying the same as result?
can i go for Query Analyser? for b'coz no specified table value can be taken for this issue.
For eg, using Query Analyser, i have created table holding only one column (Price). thro SBO i need to enter value the 'price' and should get the same displayed as result. i dont know whether it is possible or not.
is my try possible?
any one guide me,
Meera.

But for me when writing code as '[%0]' it is not displaying it is throwing error . 'Incorrect syntax near '$4.0.0'.' i have took doctotal from OINV for experimenting.
SELECT T0.DocTotal, '[%0]' FROM OINV T0 where T0.DocDate = [%0]
the query above promting for 2 params, 1. Doctotal 2. Docdate. in the doctotal, i filled my own amount and chosed a date on which only one document was created. it displays the DocTotal of Inv on tht particular date and also my own entry. but when i thought to give the same date, instead of giving as parameter, it is not showing even the amount of xisting one. if i cud write the date directly in the query i wud achieve the thing using QPLD.
can u help me?

Retrieve All records and display in Report using CAML query in Report Builder if Parameter value is blank

Hello Experts,
i have created a report where i have one parameter field where user will pass parameter(e.g. EmpId). As per parameter record will fetched to report if no parameter is passed then it will display all records. I have done it by taking SqlServer Database as datasource.
by using Following method
Now i would like to do it by taking Sharepoint List as Datasource. For that what would be the CAML Query.
Here is my existing CAML query.
<RSSharePointList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<ListName>Employees</ListName>
<ViewFields>
<FieldRef Name="Title" />
<FieldRef Name="FirstName" />
<FieldRef Name="LastName" />
<FieldRef Name="FullName" />
<FieldRef Name="UserName" />
<FieldRef Name="Company" />
</ViewFields>
<Query>
<Where>
<Eq>
<FieldRef Name="Title" />
<Value Type="Text">
<Parameter Name="EmployeeId"/>
</Value>
</Eq>
</Where>
</Query>
</RSSharePointList>
The above code is working if i am passing an employeeId to Parameter. If nothing is passed, it is Not retrieving any record.
Please suggest
Thank you

Your problem follows the well-established pattern of using an "All" parameter filter in SSRS. There are a few approaches depending on the size of your data. The easiest one is to return all data from CAML and then filter it within SSRS, the following thread
provides some examples,
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18203317/show-all-records-some-records-based-on-parameter-value.
Other options include passing all of the possible values within the CAML query when "All" is selected, using multiple Report Files to distinguish between both CAML queries, or to use multiple datasets with some logic to show/hide the correct one.

Display Report Field as Parameter value

Hi All,
Is it possible to show Programcode as a Parameter value on the report header, I am using ProgramID as a Parameter?
Please let me know.
Below is the SQl Code
Declare @ProgramID int
Select ProgramCode,Name,Abbrevation from Program
where ID=@programID

Hi NaveenCR,
Per my understanding that you want to display the multiple value in the parameter dropdown list to display in the Report header, right?
I have tested on my local environment and details information below for your reference:
You can create an multiple value parameter(ProgramID) based on the field "ProgramCode"
Using the expression below in the report header to get the multiple value from the drop down list of parameter:
=Join(Parameters!DateKey.Value,",")
Or:
=Join(Parameters!DateKey.Value," ")
If your problem still exists, please tried to provide more details information about your requirement and snapshot of the layout you want.

Display Multiple Parameter Values in Specific Format

In CR XI, I have a string parameter that allows single and multiple values.
Values are Ward 1, Ward 2, Ward 3, Ward 4
Iu2019m still a newbie at Crystal and canu2019t figure out how to display the parameter values in the report header in a specific way. Join({?ward},",") works fine to show the values selected, but the format is awkward.
Would love to hear any suggestions on a formula that will display the parameter values in the header as follows:
For a single parameter value:     Ward 1
For two parameter values:     Wards 1 and 2
For three parameter values:     Wards 1, 2 and 3
If all four values are selected:     All Wards
Hope I made my question clear, and thanks in advance!

Thank you so much for your response; it does work, at least partially.Certainly is pointing me in the right direction.
Is it possible to modify the case statement to add more arguments? I tried, but it didn't work correctly, although that is likely user error.
For instance, if selecting a single value, it could any of the wards, not just Ward 1. And multiple values could be Wards 2 and 3, or Wards 1 and 4, or Wards 2, 3 and 4. There are at least a dozen different possibilities, and I need a formula or case statement to account for all those possibilities.

Printing parameter values in xml report, and displaying it in header of the

Hi All,
Can anybody give me an idea to print the parameter values in the xml report.
My requirement is like, I have 10 parameters in report builder, I have generated the xml file and created the .rtf template and finally registerted in oracle apps. But now, the requirement is to print the parameter values in the report output.I don't see any xml tags in the xml output.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I think all the XML attributes can contain lexicals. If you bring up the property palette against the report object you can just set the following:
XML Tag Attributes: myParameter="&<P_1>"
where P_1 is your user parameter.

Displaying page parameter value

I have a LOV portlet that contains division names with no bind variables involved. In the same portlet region, I have a calendar component that show documents for a division.
When the user select a division name from the Lov, the onChange event calls the same page passing the division name as a url parameter. The calendar has a bind variable mapped to the page parameter division_code.
When the page redisplays, I want the default value of the LOV set equal to the page parameter value. How do I do this?
Thanks,
Ed

Hi,
Try using wwpro_api_parametes.retrieve.
wwpro_api_parameters.retrieve
This Retrieves a list of all the URL parameters (names and values) from every
portlet instance that belongs to a provider.
The names and values are returned, unchanged, into a table. If a parameter has more than one value, only the first is returned.
Any user can use this procedure.
Example:
If a URL has these parameters:
http://.......?empno=10&deptno=10&a.deptno=20a.deptno=25&a.folderid=30
Then this call:
wwpro_api_parameters.retrieve(
l_names,
l_values
Sets the following names and values:
'empno', 'deptno', 'a.deptno', 'a.deptno', 'a.folderid' in l_names
'10', '10', '20', '25', '30' in l_values
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Urgent help required - linked subreport keeps asking for parameter value

Greetings,
I have developed a report in the Crystal Reports bundled with Visual Studio 2005. The data is obtained from a stored procedure. One of the fields in the result set is named "Id".
I have embedded a subreport in the details row of the main report. The subreport also gets its information from a stored procedure. This stored procedure has one parameter named "OpportunityId". This field is linked to the field named "Id" above. the subreport has been set to supress blank subreports.
In the development environment and running the executable of the application on the development machine the report works perfectly. The subreport displays as it should and all is well.
When I deploy the report onto user machines where they have the crystal runtime installed, the report keeps asking for a parameter value for the subreport.
I cannot get this to stop happening.
This report is urgently required. PLEASE could someone help me out here.
I am at my wits end.
I have attached a zipe file containing the following:
- the two stored procedure
- the rpt file
- a sample report
- a screen showing the report having just been generated
Thanks in advance,
Robert Lancaster

Hi Robert,I see your report template and stored procedures. All seems to be ok. The most important is to assign the report parameters for all linked subreports (only one in your case). Try this (in C#, in VB.NET the code are very similary): ReportDocument report = new ReportDocument(@"TopFortyReport.rpt");AssignParameters(report, paramCollection);// and now assign parameters to all linked subreports foreach( CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Section section in report.ReportDefinition.Sections){ foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportObject reportObject in section.ReportObjects) { if (reportObject.Kind == ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject) { SubreportObject subReport = (SubreportObject)reportObject; ReportDocument subDocument = subReport.OpenSubreport(subReport.SubreportName); AssignParameters(subDocument, paramsCollection); }} void AssignParameters(ReportDocument report, object[] paramsCollection){ int nParams = paramsCollection.Length; for (int iParamIndex = 0; iParamIndex < nParams; iParamIndex++) { if (report.DataDefinition.ParameterFields[iParamIndex].IsLinked()) continue; report.SetParameterValue(iParamIndex, paramsCollection[iParamIndex]); }}

How to get parameter value from report in event of value-request?

Hi everyone,
The customer want to use particular F4 help on report, but some input value before press enter key are not used in event of "at selection-screen on value-request for xxx", How to get parameter value in this event?

You probably want to look at function module DYNP_VALUES_READ to allow you to read the values of the other screen fields during the F4 event... below is a simple demo of this - when you press F4 the value from the p_field is read and returned in the p_desc field.

Value for a parameter based on another parameter value

Hi all,
i am using report 6i and 10g db.
I have to create a report based on some parameter values. For example
Two parameter named as P_emp_code and P_emp_name
In the first parameter p_emp_code has list of values like empcode emp_full_name ie like 0002108 Vanitha Lanet Mendez
when user select P_emp_code i want to display the fullname in p_emp_name .
I tried as follows in list of values
select emp_fullname from emp_master where emp_code=:p_emp_code
then getting error bind variable cannot be used
Please suggest a way .
Thanks
Rincy

Hello,
The thing you are asking for set and editing the reports parameter form's value. Then i don't think you can do this by using the report parameter form.
But there are two alternatives for this task.
1. Create one form using form builder and pass the parameter and run the report from there. So, you can use the code as you showed in your first post.
2. Why don't you make this Title setting automatically? I Mean using the gender column (with decode/case condition) of same table.

Crystal reports 2008 Set optional parameter value

Hi,
I'm working with .net Visual Studio 2008 C# and Crystal reports 2008 (Crystal.Decisions) and when I try to set a parameter to optional and set its value to no value, it returns the error: "Invalid parameter name", here is my code:
foreach (CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterField param in Report.ParameterFields)
                        if (!param.HasCurrentValue &&
                            !Report.DataDefinition.ParameterFields[param.Name].IsLinked())
                            switch (param.ParameterValueType)
                                case ParameterValueKind.NumberParameter:
                                    param.IsOptionalPrompt = true;
                                    param.CurrentValues.IsNoValue = true;
                                    break;
I'm doing this because some of the parameters can be left null, and in this case I don't want to show the parameter prompt.
In past versions of Crystal (such as Crystal Reports 11.5) we had the chance to left the parameter value null and did not showed the parameter prompt dialog, and this behavior repeats in a lot of reports.
thanks in advanced
