Dynamically set number-columns-spanned

Hi all,
I have a cross tab which has a dynamic number of columns. Each column has a header "Location" (which is determined by the data), but the table also has a master header "Volume" which should span all of the locations. How can I acheive this?
I currently have:
<xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="block" name="number-columns-spanned">2</xsl:attribute> Volumne
But this is obviously static.
Many Thanks
Andy

Hi lmd2,
Attached is a quick example of one way to do what you are asking. This is only a general example, and there may be a bettter implementation depending on the architecture of your application. The link here also has information on setting the number of sockets for a specific sequence file. Hope this helps.

Dynamically set number of sockets in parallel mode

I am new to teststand (been programing LabVIEW for a long time)
I know this is do-able but not sure where to implement it - hoping for an example.
Before the 'Test UUTs' entry point I would like a message popup;
- based on the user button pressed I would like to set the number of sockets to either 3 or one (three sockets when running in auto mode, one socket if running in manual mode) all within Parallel model (can't change models on the fly)
ideally I would like the entire thing encased in a loop that would ask "auto, manual, exit" so that a manual session could be run, and at the completion one or more sessions in auto mode before exiting.
SO WITHIN EITHER A MANUAL OR AUTO SESSION 'NEXT UUT' WOULD STILL BE AVAILABLE, and after exiting from next uut the outer loop would still allow switching session modes
the loop would need to be right up front so the number of sockets could be set before the mode options are loaded.
if there is an example of a modified parallel process model that has similar mods, I would be very gratefull,
thanx

Dynamically setting the number of collumns...

Hi,
I have a report that I need to build. In the requirements I need to dynamically set the number of columns based on the parameters given. I have some ideas on how to do this by building the layout to include all the columns. Then show or hide them based on the parameters passed. I was just wondering if anyone has tried to do something like this? If so, were you successful, and what were some of the major stumbling blocks you ran into. Or if you know of any links to documentation that would help would be great.
On a side note, would doing something like this be handled better if done in Discoverer? I have not used Discoverer before, so I'm not sure myself.
Thanks,
Tom

Dynamically setting column width doesn't work all the time

I wanted to dynamically set the width of a column in a JTable to be half of the width of a another column. This should happen whenever the frame is resized. But somehow I need to tell this twice to Java. If I don't then sometimes the column width isn't set new.
Is this a Java bug or what?
public void componentResized(ComponentEvent ce)
     try
          ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(5)).setMaxWidth(ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(1)).getWidth() / 2);
          ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(5)).setMinWidth(ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(1)).getWidth() / 2);
          // Again, or it won't work:
          ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(5)).setMaxWidth(ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(1)).getWidth() / 2);
          ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(5)).setMinWidth(ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(1)).getWidth() / 2);
     catch(SQLException e)
}

Is it possible that your call to
ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(5)).setMinWidth(ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(1)).getWidth() / 2);
is altering the response created by
ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(5)).setMaxWidth(ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(1)).getWidth() / 2);
? Have you tried calling them once but in the other order? Or just calling the "setMaxWidth" call twice and leaving out the second "setMinWidth"?
Good luck... :)

How to dynamically set column name in Answers

May be a rude way .. but it works.
Add narrative view and use Java script to change the column headings based on the variables.
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var a = document.getElementById('idResultsTableParent');
var rows= a.getElementsByTagName('tr');
rows[1].cells[1].innerText ="@{Presentation Variable}";

How to generate report with dynamic variable number of columns?

How to generate report with dynamic variable number of columns?
I need to generate a report with varying column names (state names) as follows:
SELECT AK, AL, AR,... FROM States ;
I get these column names from the result of another query.
In order to clarify my question, Please consider following table:
CREATE TABLE TIME_PERIODS (
PERIOD     VARCHAR2 (50) PRIMARY KEY
CREATE TABLE STATE_INCOME (
     NAME     VARCHAR2 (2),
     PERIOD     VARCHAR2 (50)     REFERENCES TIME_PERIODS (PERIOD) ,
     INCOME     NUMBER (12, 2)
I like to generate a report as follows:
AK CA DE FL ...
PERIOD1 1222.23 2423.20 232.33 345.21
PERIOD2
PERIOD3
Total 433242.23 56744.34 8872.21 2324.23 ...
The TIME_PERIODS.Period and State.Name could change dynamically.
So I can't specify the state name in Select query like
SELECT AK, AL, AR,... FROM
What is the best way to generate this report?

Set title column dynamically

Hi All,
I have a table in a dynpro and I'd like to set the column header dynamically...
Any clues of the methods ...

hi stephan......
instead of changing coulmn name dynamically, you can add columns dynamically using add_column(). or you can make use of the class cl_wd_table _column to set the text.

Is it posible a query that builds dynamically the number of columns?

Hi experts!
I have a query that shows amounts in 12 columns corresponding on the calendar months of the year. Now, I need to change that getting in a previous screen how many months the user wants to see. The query has to build dynamically the number of columns to show. Can I do that with query designer? How?
I am working in V7.0.

Set the column name of a table in a list box

is there any code to set the column name of a table in a list box at oracle devloper 6i?
pls help.

I dont want to go for pl/sql . It should work any table.You want Dynamic SQL without using PL/SQL? Tricky. I'm sure there's a possible way using some very complex and convoluted XML functionality of SQL but in reality you are asking for something that isn't natural to SQL queries, especially if you are expecting a dynamic number of columns to be produced for each row of data. SQL expects a table structure, including output formats, to be a defined number of columns with any number of rows, not a defined number of rows with any number of columns.
Perhaps if you explain why you need this sort of functionality then we may be able to offer a better solution.

Dynamically set the sequence of an Item

Hi,
I have three record types and am trying to dynamically set where it appears on the form.
The 3 record types are MEETING REGISTER, MARKET PROBLEM AND BROADCAST CHANGE.
If the user creates a record with a type of MEETING REGISTER then I want a field called 'duration' to have a sequence of 57, if it is either of the other 2 types then I want it to appear further down the form with a sequence of 241.
I have tried creating a dummy text item called 'P2_DURATION_SEQ' at the top of the form with a default function of:
declare
v_dur_seq NUMBER;
BEGIN
IF :P2_RECORD_TYPE IN ('MEETING REGISTER')
THEN v_dur_seq := 57;
ELSE v_dur_seq := 241;
END IF;
RETURN v_dur_seq;
END;
and tried putting &P2_DURATION_SEQ. in the sequence field of the duration field properties with no success.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks
Chris

Hello Chris,
If you have just the one field, or just a couple, that needs to dynamically change sequence (I wouldn't suggest the following if you have many because it could become quite a maintenance headache), you can try this:
1) Define three "duration" fields, say P1_DURATION_MR, P1_DURATION_MP and P1_DURATION_BC. Define their sequence to display wherever each needs to be, respectively.
2) Map all three to the same database column.
3) Make each conditional on the record type being "MEETING REGISTER", "MARKET PROBLEM" or "BROADCAST CHANGE" respectively.
Then, if the record type is "MEETING REGISTER", P1_DURATION will render where it needs to and the other two will not render, etc.
Hope this helps,
John

SQL Query: How to search on a dynamic set of patterns?

Hello,
I have a requirement where I need to search a table with dynamic set of patterns. Here is something I am looking for:
select * from T1 where C1 LIKE 'AA%' or C1 LIKE 'BB%' ...
That is, the number of patterns is unknown, it could be 0 or 1 or more. I cannot use the IN clause because this requires exact match.
Can you please help in letting me know how to do this?
Thanks a lot

Dear,
+In your last statement you mentioned "like C2||'%'".
I can't use this because C2 is the name of a column in table T2.+
Did you try this and you got an error or you are "concluding you can't" use this because C2 is name of a column?
Please try it. If you run into error, please post the error and you query.
Also...
1. When posting code, use BEFORE and AFTER the code, to format it nicely. It makes it easier to read.
2. In you posting questions include sample table,data expected output and your attempt in solving the problem. this will make it easier on everyone to help sooner and more effectively.
Best way to learn, SQL programming is to try it out.
So please try the sample and the suggestion and let us know if you get any error.

Dynamically show/hide columns for DelimitedData output

My users want to see only dynamic sets of data from the same report query.
For example, if the query returns:
Date, Widget1Count, Widget2Count, ..., WidgetZCount
User1 wants to see Date and counts for widgets 1,2, 5, and 10
User2 wants to see Date and counts for widgets 2, 3, 4, 5, 10-20.
Uset3 wants to see Date and widget 99 count.
I don't want to write a custom report for every single user nor do I want to create Z! number of queries to satisfy every possible request combination.
I wonder, is there a way to change "Exclude from XML Output" property for a particular query field(s) from a report AfterPForm or BeforeReport trigger?

Hi,
I had the same problem, but I saw the Metalink document: 340793.1, which gave the solution I needed.
In my case, I needed to limit the number of columns being outputted in a DELIMITEDDATA format based on a user parameter.
I ended up with the following code in my After PForm trigger, which did the job.
BEGIN
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('<report DTDVersion="1.0">');
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('<customize>');
-- For those columns I want displayed, Set the XMLSuppress property to False
FOR tmp IN 1 .. 10 LOOP
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('<object name="col_'||LPAD(TO_CHAR(tmp), 3, '0')||'_title" type="REP_COL_MAP">');
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('<properties>');
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('<property name="XMLSuppress">False</property>');
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('</properties>');
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('</object>');
END LOOP;
-- For those column I don't want displayed, Set the XMLSuppress property to True
FOR tmp in 11 .. 100 LOOP
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('<object name="col_'||LPAD(TO_CHAR(tmp), 3, '0')||'_title" type="REP_COL_MAP">');
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('<properties>');
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('<property name="XMLSuppress">True</property>');
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('</properties>');
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('</object>');
END LOOP;
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('</customize>');
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('</report>');
SRW.APPLY_DEFINITION;
END;
I hope this helps with your problem.

Set a column to be nullable

Hi, I am not really good at SQL. Please help me if you can.
I have a column that's Nullable (yes), default (1). Now I want to set the default of the column to null and set the column to be nullable. Here is what I am doing:
create table testit
(foo number default 1 not null, doo varchar(10));
insert into testit (foo, doo) values (15, 'a')
insert into testit (foo, doo) values (14, 'b')
insert into testit (doo) values ('c')
select * from testit
This will return 3 rows where foo=1 when doo='c'. Now I do:
ALTER TABLE testit
modify foo DEFAULT NULL
This will set the default value of foo to be NULL, however, the Nullable is still No. Then when I do
insert into testit (doo) values ('ddd')
I get "cannot insert Null into (testit.foo). What should I do?
Thanks. :D

Dynamically set Tab current pages

Heres a quick summary of the situation Ive got.
Lets say I have an application with 4 report pages. Three display some data about rows in my database. All 3 contain the column Control # which is linked to the 4th report which displays more detailed information about that Control # object.
When I click on the Control # link and go to the 4th report, I would like the Tabs current for the 4th report to match the Tabs current of the page I came from. In other words, if I clicked on the Control # link on page 1, I would like the 4th pages current tabs to match page 1s current tabs. The same goes for pages 2 and 3.
Ive tried &(some global variable). and :(some global variable) and v(some global variable) in the Tabs current pages fields but that doesnt work.
Is it possible to do what Im trying to do?

Reports 1, 2 & 3 all exist in individual two tab pages. Pages 1 & 2 would have the same parent tab and their own sub tab. Page 3 would have its own parent tab. When in those pages the appropriate tabs are 'current'. When I click on Control # on any page and go to page 4, I would like the source pages tabs to stay 'current' when displaying page 4.
By the way, my actual application has in the neighborhood of a dozen pages which are like reports 1,2,& 3 as I described above. Rather than build a dozen identical (with the exception of current tabs) page 4's, I would rather build one page 4 and dynamically set page 4's current tab to the source page's current tab.
It's a visual reminder to the user as to which page they were on when they clicked the Control # field.
I also have 8 - 10 SVG charts which I have linked to reports. About 6 of them display the same report using different parameters. Again, I would like THAT report to have the same current tab as the source chart (chart clicked on to invoke the report).
