Displaying the column names in a spreadsheet

Hello All,
I am downloading data from SAP into a spreadsheet using the FM MS_EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT. The data is coming fine.
But I need to display the column names too in the spreadsheet. Could anyone please tell me how to do that.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Pawan,
I am using the following piece of code.
TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_fieldname,
                 text(20) TYPE c,
              END OF ty_fieldname.
DATA: gs_fieldname TYPE ty_fieldname.
           gt_fieldname TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_fieldname.
gs_fieldname-text = 'Material'.
APPEND gs_fieldname TO gt_fieldname.
gs_fieldname-text = 'Ad Size'.
APPEND gs_fieldname TO gt_fieldname.
gs_fieldname-text = 'Classification Group'.
APPEND gs_fieldname TO gt_fieldname.
gs_fieldname-text = 'Old Ceiling'.
APPEND gs_fieldname TO gt_fieldname.
gs_fieldname-text = 'Message Type'.
APPEND gs_fieldname TO gt_fieldname.
gs_fieldname-text = 'Message'.
APPEND gs_fieldname TO gt_fieldname.
CALL FUNCTION 'MS_EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT'
      EXPORTING
        file_name                 = p_file
        data_sheet_name           = text-014
      TABLES
        data_tab                  = gt_rate
        fieldnames                = gt_fieldname
      EXCEPTIONS
        file_not_exist            = 1
        filename_expected         = 2
        communication_error       = 3
        ole_object_method_error   = 4
        ole_object_property_error = 5
        invalid_pivot_fields      = 6
        download_problem          = 7
        OTHERS                    = 8.
I am getting a short dump on this which says -
"Only flat, character-type data objects are supported at the argument
position "dest" for the statement
"WRITE src TO dest".
In this case, the operand "dest" has the non-character-type or deep type
"P". The current program is flagged as a Unicode program. In the Unicode
context, type X fields are seen as non-character-type, as are
structures that contain non-character-type components."

You can use this FM <b>DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET</b> It gives you all the names related to fields in a table -:)

How to get the Column names of output that is displaying in Sql Developer(Oracle 11g).

Hi,
    I am using OCCI to interact with DB through code, which means I am writing a vc++ file to interact with Data Base and execute the Stored Procedure which I am calling from the C++ Code. And also displaying the output of the Stored Procedures to the Front End. I am succeeded in this, but now I should be able to display the Column names of the output to Front End. Can any one help me on this.
Example:
Sno |   Sname
------- |-------------
1          ABC
2          DEF
I am getting (1,ABC) and (2,DEF) as the output of the Stored Procedure but I need the Column names also to display. How to get them.
Thanks in Advance..:)

Look at Re: exporting csv via pl/sql - select statement?
It has an example how to extract the column name from a cursor. You have to check, whether you can use DBMS_SQL.DESCRIBE_COLUMNS
Your procedure might need another out parameter, that returns the column names , e.g. as comma separated list or as varray.

Hi ,
If you want to change the column name, you can put your code following:
<htmlb:tableViewColumn columnName    = " "
           *title        = " put the cloumn name here"*
           </htmlb:tableViewColumn>
Please try.
Any doubt let me know.

Help to extract the Column Name depending on the row values

Hello All,
I have a table with below format
Table Name: Employees
Emp Name Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday
John yes NULL yes yes NULL NULL
Michael NULL yes NULL yes yes NULL
Smith NULL yes yes NULL yes yes
In the above I have explicitly mentioned NULL just for better understanding.
I am trying to send an email using HTMLDB_MAIL.SEND which will have the body as following
"John is absent on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday
Michael is absent on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday
Smith is absent on Monday and Thursday"
I am trying to do this using cursor, fetching each row and matching the value with NULL. But I am not able to display the column name.
Can somebody please help me?

just use Peter's query, collect into a nested table the output and create one CLOB variable from collection to use it as a body:
create or replace function getbodyemp

   p_body_out      clob;
   type tp_tbemp   is table of varchar2 (100);

     || nvl2(Saturday,null, ',Saturday')), ',', ', ') txt
   bulk collect into v_tbemp
   from

Changing the column names displayed via an ODBC driver

Hi we are just starting to used Crystal Reports to improve the reporting capabaility of a legacy application, we can access the data fine using an ODBC driver. What we want to do is change the column names that are displayed within Crystal Reports so they are more user friendly and not in techno speak,, so that the users can create their own reports. Do we need to used Business Objects to setup a Universe to do this, is their a simple cheaper method sorry if this post is in the wrong section

Can you set up "views" in your database?Â That would probably be the easiest way to do this.

How to select even the column names of a table?

Hello All,
Is there a way to select even the column names of a table in the select statement?
My select from a table (say X) is in a SQL* Plus script that gets invoked by application tier and displays data in the application tier window. User's can then copy the data into a spreadsheet and do their processing. However, I need to give them the column names too along with the data.
Thanks,
Chiru

If there is a middle tier that is selecting and
displaying the data, and that's what the users are
copying from, the middle tier would have to address
its presentation of the data to allow users to
include column names. If this is a common task, the
application should probably be modified to give users
the option of downloading the data in a spreadsheet
directly rather than forcing them to copy and paste
data.Thanks for the reply.
The users don't have to copy paste. The application tier has an options in the "Tools" menu item which allows them to copy the entire output to a file (in my case a txt file which is a pipe delimited). Then they have to do text to columns to get the data into each column of the spreadsheet. I could have directly called the stored procedures from the application tier and created ".csv" files and FTP'd them to the user's folders. However, I am having to go this round about because, I am not getting enough support from the LAN team in FTP'ing etc.
OK I'll think of another workaround.
Thanks,
Chiru

Changing the Column names / alias

Hi,
I have an oracle query and it works fine.
select q.sname,
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,10,1,0)) as "0 - 5",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,9,1,0)) as "6 - 10",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,8,1,0)) as "11 - 15",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,7,1,0)) as "16 - 19",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,6,1,0)) as "20 - 20",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,5,1,0)) as "21 - 27",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,4,1,0)) as "28 - 30",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,3,1,0)) as "31 - 40",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,2,1,0)) as "41 - 45",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,1,1,0)) "46 - Over",
COUNT(q.sname) "TOTAL"
from task_core@cds t, cor_queue q, profile_core@crb p
where t.nmboxid = q.nmboxid
and p.ncodaid = t.nobjectid
and p.ntype=2
GROUP BY q.sname
ORDER BY q.sname
It generates a Cross-tab sort of result and I am using the decode function to generate the result.
My problem is that right now I am using hardcoded column names or alias for the columns generated by the decode function. eg. "0-5", "6-10" etc.
I have another table which contains these values ("0-5","6-10"). I would like to know instead of hard coding the column names like
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,10,1,0)) as "0 - 5"
can we retrieve the values from the Other table that contains the values "0-5","6-10" etc and display it there in the decode function?
Pls help me with this issue
Thanks
Gilles

hi,
the column names are always fixed. You can try dynamic sql in pl/sql or spool then execute, but in pure sql, it is not possible

How to get the column names of the table into the Dashboard prompt

Thanks & Regards

Hey john,
My requirement is as follows
I have created a Rank for Total sales by Region wise i.e RANK(SUM(Dollars By Region)) in a pivot table.
My pivot table looks like this
COLUMN SELECTOR: TOTAL US , REGION , DISTRICT , MARKET
---------------------------------------------------- JAN 2009          FEB 2009        MAR 2009
RANK              REGION                  DOLLARS           DOLLARS        DOLLARS DOLLARS
1 CENTRAL 10 20 30 40
2 SOUTHERN 10 30 30 70
3 EASTERN 20 20 20 60
4 WESTERN 10 20 30 40
When i select the District in column selector
Report has to display rank based on Total Sales by District. i.e
------------------------------------------------- JAN 2009         FEB 2009       MAR 2009
RANK             DISTRICT              DOLLARS           DOLLARS        DOLLARS DOLLARS
for this i need to change the fx of rank i.e RANK(SUM(Dollars By Region)) to RANK(SUM(Dollars By District)) and fx of Region i.e Markets.Region to Markets.District dynamically.
so , i need to capture column name of the value selected from the column selector and dynamically i need to update the fx 0f RANK & fx of region.
do you have any solution for this?

Not showing the column name

Hi
I am using jdev 11.1.1.3
.i i dragged an adf table from data control.it has got 3 columns.i changed the name of first column as Lang grades.when i run that it is showing the column name as lang grades.then in that table two fields r mandatory.so in the property inspector i put the show required as true.but after that on running it is not showing the column name as lang grades.there is only the star sign for showing the attribute as required only.

Hi,
not enough information. So from your description, a column that is not marked required on its cell renderer component is not displayed at runtime. I am not aware of such a problem and suggest to try a later version of 11g R1 (11.1.1.6) to see if this reproduces. This allows you to exclude a probelm with 11.1.1.3 only
