Extracting values from multi select check boxes delimeted by ":"
A set of check boxes in an Apex form produces "V1:V2:V3" in the target field, these are the key fields from a dynamic selection lists based on a table that contains the key and value fields. Does anyone have a sample SQL fragment that will produce a record for each one of the values ?
FORM_TABLE
ID (1)
CB_TARGET (V1:V2:V4)
LIST_TABLE
KEY_F (V1),(V2),(V3),(V4) etc.
VALUE_F (Value 1), (Value 2), (Value 3), (Value 4 ...)
Even though there is only a single row in this example in the "FORM_TABLE", how can this be transformed to :
1, V1
1, V2
1, V4
Regards

Does anyone have a sample SQL fragment that will produce a record for each one of the values ?Does it have to be SQL? The simplest approach is probably PL/SQL, using the <tt>apex_util.string_to_table</tt> function.
For a purely SQL-based solution, use whatever string-to-row technique is appropriate to your situation.

Show selected value from multi-selected parameter in crystal report
Dear Experts!
i would like to ask how to catch selected value from multi-selected parameter to show in report header section.
Thanks in advance.Hi Dara,
If this is a string prompt then you could simply create a formula with this code and place it on the report header:
Join({?Prompt name},", ")

Passing Multiple Values from Multi Select
Hi,
My requirement is simple. I have created a simple Multi Select Option in parameter form and i want to send multiple selected values from the multi select option (in parameter form) to reports.
eg:
I want to send multiple countries code as input .........'US', 'CA', 'IND', 'UK'
Can i do it in Oracle 6i reports, Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
AsgarHi Thanks Again,
For such a nice response. I got the Lexical Where condition properly running but still getting problems in catching the multiple values to be passed from form. just i will give u an insight of wat i have done:
SQL:
SELECT ALL FROM EMPLOYEES &cond_1* -- Working FIne
in my Html Parameter Form i have an Multi Select component (the Problem is here) it is not passing more than i value from the form once i am accessing it from web or running it in paper report. In paper report layout it is not allowing me to select more than one value. but in HTML it is allowing to select multiple values but at the server end (After Parameter Form Trigger) it is giving a single value not multiple values.
In PL/SQL when i checking the length of country_id i m getting it as one.
Here is my SQL code
srw.message(10, LENGTH(:country_id_1));
:cond_1 := 'where country_id = '''|| :country_id_1 ||'''';
This is passing the condition properly to SQL but only with single value but i want to pass multiple values
I am struck in this+_
WHERE CONTRY_COLUMN IN ('USA','UAE') -- This variable you have to pass from you form...
Here as you said you gave multiple selection in your parameter form to generate report. So before generation report just prepare variable like this as it is bold above.
and pass parameter through your runtime form to the report as you pass the normal parameter...liket this i gave you example...
ADD_PARAMETER(PARAMETER_LIST_NAME,'P_CONT_PARAM',TEXT_PARAMETER,vString);
Sorry for troubling you for a small thing but please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks Again............

Get all values from multi select in a servlet
Hello,
I have a multi <select> element in a HTML form and I need to retrieve the values of ALL selected options of this <select> element in a servlet.
HTML code snippet
<select name="elName" id="elName" multiple="multiple">
Servlet code snippet
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = null;
out = response.getWriter();
String output = "";
String[] str = request.getParameterValues("elName");
for(String s : str) {
output += s + ":";
output = output.substring(0, output.length()-1); // cut off last deliminator
out.println(output);But even when selecting multiple options, the returned text only ever contains the value of the first selected option in the <select>
What am I doing wrong? I'm fairly new to servlets

Edited by: Irish_Fred on Feb 4, 2010 2:32 PMI am using AJAX.
I will show you how I'm submitting the <select> values by showing you the flow of code:
This is the HTML code for the <select> tag and the button that sends the form data:
<form name="formMain" id="formMain" method="POST">
<input type="button" id="addOpts" name="addOpts" value="Add Options" style="width:auto; visibility:hidden" onClick="jsObj.addOptions('servletName', document.getElementById('elName'))">
<br>
<select name="elName" id="elName" multiple="multiple" size="1" onChange="jsObj.checkSelected()">
<option value="0"> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - </option>
</select>
</form>Note that the "visibility:hidden" part of the button style is set to "visible" when at least one option is selected
Note that "jsObj" relates to a java script object that has been created when the web app starts ( The .js file is included in the .jsp <head> tag )
The following code is taken from the file: "jsObj.js"
jsObj = new jsObj();
function jsObj() {
//=================================================
this.addOptions = function(url, elName) {
var theForm = document.getElementById('formMain');
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { // code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
} else { // code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
url += this.buildQueryString(theForm.name);
xmlhttp.open("POST",url,true);
xmlhttp.send(null);
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() {
if(xmlhttp.readyState==4) { // 4 = The request is complete
alert(xmlhttp.responseText);
//=================================================
this.buildQueryString = function(formName) {
var theForm = document.forms[formName];
var qs = '';
for (var i=0; i<theForm.elements.length; i++) {
if (theForm.elements.name!='') {
qs+=(qs=='')? '?' : '&';
qs+=theForm.elements[i].name+'='+escape(theForm.elements[i].value);
return qs;
//=================================================
}And this is a code snippet from the "servletName" servlet:public synchronized void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException,IOException {
PrintWriter out = null;
try {
response.setContentType("text/html");
out = response.getWriter();
String output = "";
String[] values = request.getParameterValues("elName");
for(String s : values) {
output += s + ":";
output = output.substring(0, output.length()-1); // cut off last delimitor
out.println(output);
} catch (Exception e) {
}So anyway, everthing compiles / works, except for the fact that I'm only getting back the first selected <option> in the 'elName' <select> tag whenever I select multiple options

I am creating a browser based InfoPath 2010 form Calendar Filtering
using SharePoint 2010 Calendar List (All Events) and InfoPath 2010. This form has data connection to the Calendar list. Goal is to
compare Calendar Events from Current Year to Previous Year. I have 2 columns called - Previous Year and Current Year. I have 2 drop-down controls in each columns called
Select Year and Select Week. I also have common drop down called
Select Category which holds category of the events such as weather, power outages and so on. I wish to display specific events on specific date and specific week on both columns.
I am able to filter the list based upon Year and Week
on both these columns by applying rules in the InfoPath 2010 form. The real issue is that I want to apply category filter on the search result of
Year and Week. Or it needs to show all the values if I
select Category value as All. So I wish to apply filter on Search results using Category drop-down list selection.
Hope I could explain this better but I tried to do the best here. Any suggestions, hint, or pointers

On button click of Infopath forms select multi select list box values...
Hi,
We have multi select list box on one of the info path forms. We have placed on button on this form. If user clicks on this button we want to select some of the values in Multi select list box (check box).
Is it possible if yes how can we achieve it?
Thanks.
Regards,
Amit ChhatbarHi Amit,
From your description, you would like to check items in a multi-selection box when a button is clicked.
I’d recommend you make use of rules in InfoPath form, i.e. when button is clicked, then set a field’s value.
However, if you are using multi-selection box, then you could only set the value of one item at a time. If you want to select several items at once, then we could use code. For more information:
http://www.bizsupportonline.net/blog/2009/07/understanding-multiple-selection-list-box-infopath/
http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2007/programmatically-select-all-items-multi-select-list-box.htm
If you are using several check boxes to replace multi-selection box, then it will be more easy. The rule could be that when this button is clicked, set a field’s value (check box field) to true and repeat it.

For some business requirements, users want to extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column
and add items to another list based on each separate value. In contrast, others want to find duplicate values in the list and merge associated values to a multi-value enabled column and then
add items to another list based on the merged value. All of these can be achieved using SharePoint Designer 2013 Workflow.
How to extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and add items to another list based
on each separate value using SharePoint Designer 2013.
Important actions: Loop Shape; Utility Actions

merged value using SharePoint Designer 2013.
Important actions: Call HTTP Web Service; Build Dictionary
Things to note
Steps to create Workflow
How to
extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and
add items to another list based on each separate value using SharePoint Designer 2013.
For example, they have three lists as below. They want to
extract values from the Destinations column
in Lookup2 and add items to Lookup3 based on each country and set Title to current item: ID.
Lookup1:
Title (Single line of text)
Lookup2:
Title (Single line of text), Destinations (Lookup; Get information from: Lookup1 in Title column).\
Lookup3:
Title (Single line of text), Country (Single line of text).
Important action
1. Loop Shape: SharePoint Designer 2013 support two types of loops: loop n times and loop with condition.
Loops must also conform to the following rules:
Loops must be within a stage, and stages cannot be within a loop.
Steps may be within a loop.
Loops may have only one entry and one exit point.
2. Utility Actions: It contains many actions, such as ‘Extract Substring from Index of String’ and ‘Find substring in String’.
Three scenarios
We need to loop through the string returned from the look up column and look for commas. There are three
scenarios:
1. No comma but string is non-empty so there is only one country.
2. At least one comma so there is at least two or more countries to loop.
3. In the loop we have consumed all the commas so we have found the last country.
Things to note
There are two things to note:
1. "Find string in string (output to Variable:index)" will return -1 if doesn't find
the searched for string.
2. In the opening statement "Set Variable: Countries to Current Item:Destinations" set the return
field as "Lookup Values, Comma Delimited".
Steps to create Workflow
Create a custom list named Lookup1.
Create a custom list named Lookup2, add column: Destinations (Lookup; Get information from: Lookup1 in Title column).
Create a custom list named Lookup3, add column: Country (Single line of text).
Create a workflow associated to Lookup2.
Add conditions and actions:
Start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
Add item to Lookup2, then workflow will be started automatically and create multiple items to lookup3.
See the below in workflow History List:
How to merge values to a multi-value enabled column and add item to another list based on the
merged value using SharePoint Designer 2013
For example, they have three lists as below. They want to find duplicate values in the Title column in
Lookup3 and merge country column to a multi-value enabled column and then add item to lookup2 and set the Title to Current Item: Title.
Lookup1:
Title (Single line of text)
Lookup3:
Title (Single line of text), Country (Single line of text).
Lookup2:
Title (Single line of text), Test (Single line of text).
Important actions
"Call HTTP Web Service"
action: In SharePoint 2013 workflows, we can call a web service using a new action introduced in SharePoint 2013 named Call HTTP Web Service. This action
is flexible and allows you to make simple calls to a web service easily, or, if needed, you can create more complex calls using HTTP verbs as well as allowing you to add HTTP headers.
“Build Dictionary"
action:
The Dictionary variable type is a new variable type in the SharePoint 2013 Workflow.
The following are the three actions specifically designed for the Dictionary variable type: Build Dictionary, Count Items in a Dictionary and Get an Item from a Dictionary.
The "Call HTTP Web Service" workflow action would be useless without the new "Dictionary" workflow action.
Things to note
The
HTTP URI is set to https://sitename/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('listname')/items?$orderby=Id%20desc and the HTTP method is set to “GET”. Then the list will be sort by Id in descending order.
Use Get
d/results(0)/Id form
Variable: ResponseContent (Output to
Variable: maxid) to get the Max ID.
Use Set
Variable: minid to Current List:ID to get the Min ID.
Use Copy from
Variable: destianation , starting at
1 (Output to
Variable: destianation) to remove the space.
Steps to create Workflow
Create a custom list named Lookup1.
Create a custom list named Lookup2, add column: Test (Single line of text).
Create a custom list named Lookup3, add column: Country (Single line of text).
Create a workflow associated to Lookup3.
Add a new "Build Dictionary" action
to define the http request header:
Add a Call HTTP Web Serviceaction, click on
this and paste your http request.
To associate the
RequestHeader variable, select the Call action property,
set the
RequestHeaders property to
RequestHeader:
In the Call action, click on
response and associate the response to a new
variable: ResponseContent (of type Dictionary).
After the Call action add Get item from Dictionary action to get the Max ID.
Add Set Workflow Variable action to get the Min ID.
Add Loop Shape (Loop with Condition) to get all the duplicate titles and integrate them to a string.
Create item in Lookup2.
The final Stage should look like this:
Start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
Add item to Lookup3, then workflow will be started automatically and create item to lookup2.
See the below in workflow History List:

http://sergeluca.wordpress.com/2013/04/09/calling-the-sharepoint-2013-rest-api-from-a-sharepoint-designer-workflow/GREAT info, but it may be helpful to note that when replacing a portion of the variable "Countries" with a whitespace character, you may cause the workflow to fail in a few specific cases (certain lookup fields will not accept this and will automatically
cancel). I only found this out when recreating your workflow on a similar, but much more complex list set.
To resolve this issue, I used another utility action (Extract Substring from Index of List) to clear out the whitespace. I configured it as "Copy from
Variable: Countries, starting at
1 (Output to Variable: Countries), which takes care of this issue in those few cases.
Otherwise, WOW! AWESOME JOB! Thanks! :) -
How to Save the multiple selection check box values into the database
i have the multiple selection check box implemented in UI through drop down list,i can choose the desired values from the drop down through checkbox, but i m unable to store these values and commit the values into the database all at a time.
You can access the values using listbinding and can then store them as a string by using a delimiter.

How to un-check everything in a Multi-selection list box in SP2013?
When a radio button is selected/un-selected, i would like to clear all the checkboxes that were checked in a MSLB. I created a rule for the condition but in the action, how to create this uncheck action?
Thank youyes, that's what I've done but still not working. I even downloaded the sp,
InfoPath 2013 (KB2837648) 32-Bit Edition
and it still doesn't work. In the screen shot attached, ml prefix is for Multi-selection list box. So, in mlImprovement, if the Communication checkbox isn't checked then set the Multi-selection list box, Communicaiton, to blank so it should
show no selection.
In the preview of Infopath 2013, I would check Communication in mlImprovement and then check a couple of checkboxes in mlCommunicaiton. I then uncheck and check Communicaiton in mlImprovement and those previously checked checkboxes remains.
I have been very frstrated working the MLSB infopath 2013. there are other issues that does't work either. Please advise if I'm missing a step here and there, thank you. -
I need some syntax help with reading some values from a selected row in an Access form.
My goal: to extract the data from 4 fields in a datasheet row and place them in another form.
My problem: I can only get the field values from the first row of the datasheet.
I have tried using the Form_Click event as the location for the code I've tried. This seems to be the right place, but apparently referring to the desired fields by their names with Me. in front just references the first record in the datasheet, not
the one I've selected.
Should I just read the source form's recordset using the Currentrecord value somehow? I could use some direction on that.
Thank you.
Marj WeirIt's generally considered good forum etiquette to post back a description of the solution which you've reached.
The normal control for a multi-valued field is a combo box rather than a text box, but unless it is necessary for you to use a multi-valued field, i.e. your database is interfacing with SharePoint in the very limited context in which this feature is necessary,
I'd advise that you model the many-to-many relationship type in the time-honoured way by means of a table which resolves the relationship type into two one-to-many relationship types, and use a subform to show the data. You can alternatively use a multi-select
list box or a text box which shows a value list. You'll find examples of all three methods in StudentCourses.zip in my public databases folder at:

How to Select More then 1000 values in Multi-Select prompt!!!
Hello Users,
I have Scenario where i have to pass all the values from prompt to report and the values in the prompt are coming from session variable, so whatever value access user has the report will run with that only...
Now the question is that Multi-Select Prompt is not able to take more then certain values, so is there any way that we can increase the limit for selected values??
in-short how to increase the limit for selected values in multi-select prompt??
Thanks In Advance!!!Hey David,
The Scenario is like, we have data level security on "Unit" attribute. now based on the user selection when user logs in he should able to see the report only for those units which he/she has access.
in total we have 1800 units available, now for 5-10 units access is fine, but the question will arise when user will not have only some units access from 1800 units.
because report will not take those values from the multi-select prompt reason is that multi-select prompt is not able to take more then certain values in selected side.
now in multi-select until-unless u have data coming in selected side those values will not pass. so i have kept the sql in default for that prompt.
so when user logs in he will able to see those values in selected side for the multi-select prompt, but when values increase from some level it's going automatically in un-selected side.
i want everything on selected side of multi-select prompt.
Let me know if you need any further details. -

Please could you help me reagrding this, waiting for your replies.

Thanks & Kind Regards
RaviHi Ravi,
Which system is it? R/3 Dev pr R/3 QUAL? If it is R/3 Dev then you can goto the TCode RSA6 select your data source and click on the pencil icon on the menu bar. It will ask for a Transport Request, you can give one and then it will take you to the change mode of the data source, there you can do the changes and generate the data source.
But if it is R/3 QUAL then you can't change it there straightaway. You have to first change it in R/3 DEV and collect these changes in a Transport Request and then transport it to R/3 QUAL.
Hope it helps.. -
