Dynamic Parameter LOV Select Statement

I have a parameter form with a value for the fiscal year and equipment ID. I want to populate the equipment ID list of values based on the fiscal year that is selected.
My query for the equipment ID list of values would be SELECT EQPID,NAME FROM EQPLIST WHERE FY = :FY.
When I tried to add this query to the list of values of the equipment ID parameter I get REP-0781: Bind variables are not allowed in the Select statement.
Is there a way to dynamically generate the list of values select statement in a reports trigger?

Hi,
What version of Oracle Reports are you using?
Unfortunately, it is a limitation of Oracle Reports to not restrict values based on other parameters - for sure until Reports 6i and I believe until the recent new versions.
The other way to do what you want to do is to do it outside of Reports, if you have an Oracle Forms application. For example, you can create a simple Oracle Form that captures the Report parameters and then submits the report from the Forms. In Forms, you can implement the solution you are looking for - restricting values based on values of other parameters. In reports, you can't do that.
If you have a few other reports that have similar requirements, then you can create a form to launch reports and submit all your reports from there after capturing all your parameters there.

Dynamic field in Select Statement

I am able to create a dynamic statement to insert into the where clause of my sql, but I am unable to dynamically create a select statement. Oracle Reports produces the following error:
REP-0499: Column " selected by the query is incompatible with report definition.
Here is an example of my select:
Select
&dynamic_field
from
any_table
Any help is appreciated.

I figured it out. Thanks

Getting Username to pass into LOV select statement

Hello!
I'm wondering if its possible to get the username of the current user logged in and pass it as a variable into a select statement used in a dynamic LOV in Oracle AS Portal?
What I'm attempting to do is pull all the values from a table that equal the current user's username to user on a portal report
so (as a rough example)
select color from mytable where username = 'whatever the user name is would be here'
And then the current user would get a list of values from which to select based off of the values entered in this table.
The issue I'm having is determing how to fill the 'whatever the user name is would be here' portion with the actual logged in user's username (or even if its possible). I know on the actual portal one can do #USER.FULLNAME# to display their username, is there a similar "variable" one may use to get the username for a LOV sql call?
I can get it to work if I statically fix the username to a particular value (ex: where username = 'Joe.Hacker') but I'm unsure if theres a variable or bind value (for lack of a better term) to grab the username on the fly.. dynamically.

portal.wwctx_api.get_user can be used in the SQL query of your portal report to get the user_name of the currently logged-in portal user. For more info on wwctx_api, see the 10.1.2 or 10.1.4 portal API docs at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/html/plsqldoc/pldoc1012/index.html or http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/html/plsqldoc/pldoc1014/index.html

Passing parameter into select statement by using function in discoverer

I have created two functions in database named Period_in and Period_out and a global variable g_period_name
I have called Period_out function in VIEW(Select statement where condition).
I have registered Period_in function in discoverer admin then created calculation (called Period_in(:input parameter))in discoverer plus.
My expectation is user will enter period name and that will hit Period_in function and returns 1 and stores entered period name in g_period_name at runtime. then VIEW will executed and fetches data.
But i am getting no data found.
Problem is 2 functions running at the same time in select statement. Please help me to overcome this. Thanks in advance
FUNCTION period_in (p_period VARCHAR2)
      RETURN NUMBER
   AS
   BEGIN
      g_period_name := p_period;
      RETURN 1;
   END period_in;
   FUNCTION period_out
      RETURN VARCHAR2
   AS
   BEGIN
      RETURN g_period_name;
   END period_out;

You can use this code:
WITH cte
AS ( SELECT EmpID ,
EmpName ,
[dbo].[udf_testFunction](EmpID) AS testfunctionvalue
FROM #Temp
SELECT EmpID ,
EmpName ,
testfunctionvalue ,
testfunctionvalue * EmpID ,
testfunctionvalue + 2
FROM cte
But using scalar functions in select clause can hurt the performance. Please see this link:

Dynamic fields in select statement

Hi all,
   In selection screen we are having period as select option.The values for period are 01 to 16. Based on
      the values entered in selection screen for period we need to select HSLXX from FAGLFLEXT.
   For example if we enter 01 to 03 in selection screen then we need to select HSL01 HSL02 HSL03
       from FAGLFLEXT.
Like this we need to select fields dynamically in select statement. Can any one tell me how to restrict fields dynamically.

hi Swetha,
the third select statemnet will work for you..
try this..
_Dynamic where clause in select query.._
* With a variable, result: AND rbusa = '5145'
concatenate 'AND rbusa = ' '''' i_tab-zgsber ''''
append where_clause to where_tab.
* Select
select * from zcostfreq
     where (where_tab).
endselect.

Passing value as a parameter in select statement

Hi,
Very simple query, how do I pass the values that i get in the cursor to a select statement. If table1 values are 1,2,3,4 etc , each time the cursor goes through , I will get one value in the variable - Offer
So I want to pass that value to the select statement.. how do i do it?
the one below does not work.
drop table L1;
create table L1
(col1 varchar(300) null) ;
insert into L1 (col1)
select filter_name from table1 ;
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
DECLARE
offer table1.col1%TYPE;
factor INTEGER := 0;
CURSOR c1 IS
SELECT col1 FROM table1;
BEGIN
OPEN c1; -- PL/SQL evaluates factor
LOOP
FETCH c1 INTO offer;
EXIT WHEN c1%NOTFOUND;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(offer);
select * from table1 f where f.filter_name =:offer ;
factor := factor + 1;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(factor);
END LOOP;
CLOSE c1;
END;

Hi Greg,
Thanks for the response, No there is no ODB.net involved here.
If I remove the : from :offer. I get this error now.
Changed SQL is:

Dynamic table in select statement

Hi All,
I have a requirement where i have a select option in which the input is table name , i need to use this input in my select statement and fetch entries in the table where bname is eq to ' ' or uname eq ' '.
the challenge that i am facing is not all the tables have both the fields (uname and Bname).
Request your help on how to code the above requirements.
Thanks,
Bhanu.

Bhanu,
I don't know what exactly is your requirement but I don't see any reason why a business user enters a table name as input in the selection screen.
MANDT NAME                           TYPE NUMB SIGN OPTI   LOW    HIGH
223   ZPROGNAME                       P    0001     I        EQ    XXX      ZTABLENAME
You can maintain an entry like the above in TVARVC table and get the table name using a select query on TVARVC and then use the table as below
SELECT SINGLE * FROM (l_tabname)
           into g_wa_tab2
           WHERE quosrc   EQ g_wa_tab1-quosrc AND
                 quotyp   EQ g_wa_tab1-quotyp AND
                 quotno   EQ g_wa_tab1-quotno AND
                 quotdate EQ g_wa_tab1-quotdate.
Funda is using TAVRVC to maintain the table names and determine the table based on a condition and the using the table in the select query.
Thanks,
K.Kiran.

Dynamic rowsize from select statement.

Hi, I'm trying to get the lenght if the returned row from a select statement but I'm not sure how to do this properly.
The statement contains 530 columns of different type, mostly VARCHAR but also different number formats and timestamps.
I've tried to use LENGTH() + LENGTH() but our interactive SQL client is not very happy with the enormous statement size.
Thank you in advance.

I think you need something like this:
select column_name "name", data_type "type",
data_length "length", nullable "null"
from all_tab_columns
where table_name =' Your table_name'

Use lexical parameter in select statement

Hi,
I have a report like below:
select d.dname, &par1 mgrSal, &par2 empSal from emp e, dept d where d.deptno=e.deptno
and d.deptno = :dno;
Here the &par1 and &par2 are calling a function like:
:par1 := ' f(:dno, :job)';
in the after parameter form. the function returns a number ( something like count(*) or max(sal) ).
Now the reports server (6i) generats error message:
inlalid column or miss expression.
What is the right way for this kind of report? Please help me.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try debugging it in the same good old way.
What you have stated seems to have no problem
but you never know. So In the after param form see whether it is actually setting a value to your parameter.
If that is Ok I dont think you should have problems.
But there are two things which look odd here. since the Parameter value is not changing after the after param form why do you need it in the query?
Second If you are trying to display the departments thier emp count and max salary I think You can use straight selects than anyhting else.
Try doing it

Dynamic parameter doesn't bring in all the data

Hi All,
Crystal 11.5.10.1263
Ok, I'm stumped.
I created a query that brings in all the data.
I pasted the query in the report and it brings in all the data.
I created a simple dynamic parameter to select the "ID" field.
I looked for ID 1539 and saw that tons of IDs were missing,
including 1539.
I've already broken down the report and created tests,
keeping them as simple as possible.
The report without a parameter shows all the data.
I also tried a static parameter just to see what would happen,
and I got the same results as the dynamic parameter - lots of missing data.
I guess that proves it's not the parameter, so I'm stumped.
Signed,
