Function Add a combined query

Hello,
I created two different universes based on a SAP BEx query. I can create reports with WebI based on both universes thats no problem.
If I want to create a combined query based on that 2 universes it is not possible the button "Add a combined query" is not available. Does anybody know when this will be available? Or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for your reply.
Kind regards,
Jule

Ok, could you please try the following:
1. Import the universe which you want to use.
2. Go to File>Parameters>SQL tab.
3. Check the checkbox for "Allow use of union,intersect and minus operator".
4. Save and export that universe.
Then if the problem persists, could you please test if the issue occurs with the administrator account?
Kind Regards,

Reasons for Add a combined query being grayed out?

I want to create a combined query but the option is grayed out. This report is a duplicate of an already existing document. I have checked that all the queries in this document are based on the same universe. Are there any other reasons that this may be the case? I have tried creating a document from scratch and the option to combine the queries is available to me.

Do you perhaps have "scope of analysis" set on the data provider? You can check by counting the number of objects visible on the query panel and then open the SQL and see how many select values there are. I have seen cases where the scope of analysis (which adds extra dimensions to the query in an invisible fashion) interferes with the combine queries option.
Note that normally you can check the scope by clicking the appropriate button on the query panel toolbar and invoking the scope panel. However, I have seen some cases where objects are in the SQL even without showing up on the scope panel... it's worth a check.

Detail differentiation between add query,combined query and sub query

HI
I would like to know the detail differentiation between add query,combined query and sub query with universe
correct me if I a wrong
Add query : adding of different query from different universe and also with in same universe.
Combined query : combining query using operators(Union,intersection,minus)with in same universe.
Sub query :getting results from the sub query and the result serves as the data for main query within same universe.

Hi,
I would advise you to check the product documentation under http://help.sap.com/

Using a function module in ABAP Query

Hi All,
I want to use a function module in ABAp query in the Record Processing Section.
In the report program we click on Pattern button to inser the function module so that all the Importing and exporting parameter automatically appears.
Similarly is there any particular method of inserting a function module in ABAp Query.
Regards
Manipal Parkala

When you are doing the infoset for the query (SQ02) you can add coding by clicking the coding tab. You can chose in wich event you want your coding and there is Pattern Button for you to easy use.
If you don't want to put the code in the infoset just in the query then is not posible.
Nevertheless, I higly descourage the use of coding in queryies. If you need to insert some coding make an ALV its easier, clearer and much easier to mantain.
Hope it helps.

Can we call function modules in SAP query or ADHOC query

Hi ,
Can we call afunction moudule in sap query or ADHOC query ?If yes How
An early responce is greatly appreciated
Thanks and best regards
Rajeev Chhabra

Hello Rajeev Chhabra,
Yes; you can call function module in SAP Query. In InfoSet definition (SQ02), you can create additional field. In this field definition, you can add code snippet where you can function module.
However, this is not possible in Quick Viewer (SQVI) Query.
Thanks,
Venu

Can we call a function module in ADHOC query

Hi
Can we call a function module in ADHOC query if yes how.
Also we ned to know how to call a function module in SAP query.
An early responce is appreciated.
Thanks and best regards
Rajeev

Okay as far as I understand your aim is:
To fill a field in the output list with a value that is based on the current line information and calculated by a function module
So go to SQ02 and create an additional field in the InfoSet.
You can refer in the coding to the technical names you can see in the left tree window like P0000-PERNR.
More information is avaiable in the Help part look for additional field in SQ02.

PL/SQL function body returning SQL query - ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error

I'm attempting to dynamically generate a rather large SQL query via the "PL/SQL function body returning SQL query" report region option. The SQL query generated will possibly be over 32K. When I execute my page, I sometimes receive the "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error" which points to a larger than 32K query that was generated. I've seen other posts in the forum related to this dynamic SQL size limitation issue, but they are older (pre-2010) and point to the 32K limit of the DNS (EXECUTE IMMEDIATE) and DBMS_SQL. I found this post (dynamic sql enhancements in 11g) which discusses 11g no longer having the 32K size limitation for generating dynamic SQL. Our environment is on 11gR2 and using ApEx 4.2.1. I do not know which dynamic SQL method -- DNS or DBMS_SQL -- ApEx 4.2.1 is using. Can someone clarify for me which dynamic SQL method ApEx uses to implement the "PL/SQL function body returning SQL query" option?
As a test, I created a page on apex.oracle.com with a report region with the following source:
declare
l_stub varchar2(25) := 'select * from sys.dual ';
l_sql clob := l_stub || 'union all ';
br     number(3) := 33;
begin
while length ( l_sql ) < 34000 loop
    l_sql := l_sql || l_stub || 'union all ';
end loop;
l_sql := l_sql || l_stub;
for i in 1 .. ceil ( length ( l_sql ) / br ) loop
    dbms_output.put_line ( dbms_lob.substr ( l_sql, br, ( ( i - 1 ) * br ) + 1 ) );
end loop;
return l_sql;
end;
The dbms_output section is there to be able to run this code in SQL*Plus and confirm the size of the SQL is indeed larger than 32K. When running this in SQL*Plus, the procedure is successful and produces a proper SQL statement which can be executed. When I put this into the report region on apex.oracle.com, I get the ORA-06502 error.
I can certainly implement a work-around for my issue by creating a 'Before Header' process on the page which populates an ApEx collection with the data I am returning and then the report can simply select from the collection, but according to documentation, the above 32K limitation should be resolved in 11g. Thoughts?

What setting do you use in your report properties - especially in Type and in Region Source?
If you have Type="SQL Query", then you should have a SELECT statement in the Region Source. Something like: SELECT .... FROM ... WHERE
According to the ERR-1101 error message, you have probably set Type to "SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)". In this situation APEX expects you to write a body of a PL/SQL function, that will generate the text of a SQL query that APEX should run. So it can be something like:
declare
mycond varchar2(4000);
begin
if :P1_REPORT_SEARCH is not null THEN
mycond:='WHERE LAST_NAME like :P1_REPORT_SEARCH ||''%''';
end if;
return 'select EMPLOYEE_ID, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME from EMPLOYEES ' ||mycond;
end;
And for escaping - are you interested in escaping the LIKE wildcards, or the quotes?
For escaping the wildcards in LIKE function so that when the user enters % you will find a record with % and not all functions, look into the SQL Reference:
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/conditions007.htm
(You would than need to change the code of your function accordingly).
If you are interested in escaping the quotes, try to avoid concatenating the values entered by the user into the SQL. If you can, use bind variables instead - as I have in my example above. If you start concatenating the values into the text of SQL, you are open to SQLInjection - user can enter anything, even things that will break your SQL. If you really need to allow users to choose the operator, I would probably give them a separate combo for operators and a textfield for values, than you could check if the operator is one of the allowed ones and create the condition accordingly - and than still use bind variable for inserting the filtering value into the query.

Error in report when executing pl/sql function body returning sql query.

Hi,
I have used the pl/sql function body returning sql query for creating a report. I have created a datepicker(
P10_TASK_DATE) which can be submitted.The code is as below
DECLARE
v_sql varchar2(3000);
BEGIN
if :P10_TASK_DATE is not null THEN
v_sql:='select
* from tasks';
return v_sql;
else
v_sql:='select * from discovery';
return v_sql;
END IF;
END;if the date field is empty "select * from discovery" is executed and report is getting generated. But when we give a
date using date picker the page is submitted and i get "report error: ORA-01403: no data found" even
though the "tasks" table has data in it. Plz help
Thanks,
TJ

hi
Please try this
1. Create 2 region
1st region source=
select * from tasks'
go to the tab -> condition =
item NOT NULL
EXpression1 =:P10_TASK_DATE
this will run whenever the item have any date
2. open your 2 nd region source code= select * from discovery
put the condition
item is NULL
EXpression1 =:P10_TASK_DATE
thanks

Region source (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)

Hi, guys.
Here is what i try to do:
Create a region of type SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query). In the source area i tried to put this:
DECLARE
v_new VARCHAR2(10);
v_SQL varchar2(32000);
BEGIN
v_new := :P102_HDN_NEW;
-- htp.p(v_new);
IF v_new = 'N-Set' THEN
v_SQL := 'select ' ||
ELSIF v_new = 'Y-Set' THEN
v_SQL := 'select ' ||
END IF;
RETURN v_SQL;
END;
And here is the reply from APEX:
1 error has occurred
Query cannot be parsed within the Builder. If you believe your query is syntactically correct, check the ''generic columns'' checkbox below the region source to proceed without parsing. The query can not be parsed, the cursor is not yet open or a function returning a SQL query returned without a value.
Now.
1. Variable is set with the right value.
2. Each statement (separately) returns SQL that works with no problems
3. Problem occures if i try to put IF statement around the SQL creation.
4. If i select "Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only)" instead of "Use Query-Specific Column Names and Validate Query" then the script returns SQL properly, however report's column names are set to Col1, Col2,Col3 ......

SQL Query (pl/sql function body returning Sql query)

Hi All,
I have created a region of "SQL Query (pl/sql function body returning Sql query)" type and it is working fine , but when I am migrating(export /import) this application from development to systest environment ,
It gives error for this region :
Error ERR-1101 Unable to process function body returning query.
OK
ORA-06550: line 1, column 52: PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'FU_TRADE_REPORT_QUERY' ORA-06550: line 1, column 45: PL/SQL: Statement ignored
Any pointer ...why this is happening.
Thanks
Dikshit

If your function is a stored function that is called from within APEX (function body not coded into the app itself), have you made sure that the function has been created and compiles ok prior to installing your apex app.
If there are some dependency issues between other PL/SQL units or database objects that are causing your function not to be compiled, you apex install will fail as you are trying to reference an uncompelled bit of pl/sql.
Let me know how you get on

Pl/sql function body returning SQL query - Print function

Hello all,
I have pl/sql function body returning SQL query for my reports for my new project that I am developing. We dont have any BI tool or anything for APEX so we use Oracle reports to get the same reports to be printed in PDF format. I had been using SQL function for Reports all these days and grabbing the data using SQL query was easy in Oracle reports. But this time we had atleast 8 fields in search criteria and hence I thouhgt PL/sql function body returning SQL query could be something easy to handle that scenario. We have 11 such reports in our project. Now when we tried to use the same PL/sql function to oracle reports , I was told by one of our Oracle reports expert, that we have to write it into functions and use it in SQL query to get the Reports in Oracle reports. Is there any Easy way to convert the same Pl/SQL function or get a PDF format of the same report in APEX without going thru the much pains of rewriting the whole SQL Query.
thank you

Query on Reoprts-pl/sql function body returning sql query

Hi,
I am facing a starnge problem.. and would like to know the reason for it.
The situation is as follows:
I have a report (pl/sql function body returning sql query based). My query is as follows:
declare
l_query1 varchar2(2000);
begin
if (:P102_min_value is not null and :P102_max_value is null) then
l_query1 := 'select decode(:P102_date,'1',date1) Transaction_Date, decode(:P102_first_name,'2',first_name) First_Name from (
select * from MORTGAGE_LOAN_LEADS where APPRX_LOAN_AMOUNT >=:P102_min_value
return (l_query1);
end if;
end;
This returns the error as :
1 error has occurred
Function returning SQL query: Query cannot be parsed within the Builder. If you believe your query is syntactically correct, check the generic columns checkbox below the region source to proceed without parsing.
(ORA-06550: line 7, column 20: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "1" when expecting one of the following: * & = - + ; < / > at in is mod remainder not rem <> or != or ~= >= <= <> and or like LIKE2_ LIKE4_ LIKEC_ between || multiset member SUBMULTISET_)
How do i correct this? am i right in thinking that the single quotes indicating a string within a select query is creating the problem? Beacuse if i use an sql query report and use the following query, it is working fine...
select
decode(:P102_date,'1',date1) Transaction_Date,
decode(:P102_first_name,'2',first_name) First_Name
from (
select * from MORTGAGE_LOAN_LEADS where APPRX_LOAN_AMOUNT >=:P102_min_value
But i need to write pl/sql function, so that multiple report can be returned based on different conditions. Please guide me.
Thanks,
Sumana

Does that mean that both in if and else we need to have same columns selected?
if thats the case.. any idea how i can implement it in my code. The situation here is that the columns that need to be selected are dynamic and keep on changing...
if i try to implement like this and run the page, it gives the following error:
Query is:
declare
l_query1 varchar2(4000);
begin
if apex_application.get_current_flow_sgid(:APP_ID) = apex_application.get_sgid then
if (:P102_min_value is not null and :P102_max_value is null) then
l_query1 := 'select decode(' || :P102_date|| ',''1'',date1) Transaction_Date, decode(' || :P102_first_name || ',''2'',first_name) First_Name from (
select * from MORTGAGE_LOAN_LEADS where APPRX_LOAN_AMOUNT >=' || :P102_min_value ||'
elsif (:P102_min_value is null and :P102_max_value is not null) then
l_query1 := 'select decode(' || :P102_date|| ',''1'',date1) Transaction_Date, decode(' || :P102_first_name || ',''2'',first_name) First_Name from (
select * from MORTGAGE_LOAN_LEADS where APPRX_LOAN_AMOUNT >=' || :P102_max_value ||'
else
l_query1 := 'select date1,first_name from MORTGAGE_LOAN_LEADS where rownum = 1';
end if;
else
l_query1 := 'select date1,first_name from MORTGAGE_LOAN_LEADS where rownum = 1';
end if;
return l_query1;
--dbms_output.put_line( l_query1);
end;
The Error is:
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-00936: missing expression
If i try to run the same in command prompt, it always goes to the else part... (else of outer if)

SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query) when using to_char

we are trying to build a report page of Type SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query).
our query is so simple, we need to extract the month from the recording_date column.
declare
l_query varchar2(1000);
begin
l_query:='select to_char(recording_date,'MM')from re_productive';
return l_query;
end;
but we are having the following problem for this query
Function returning SQL query: Query cannot be parsed within the Builder. If you believe your query is syntactically correct, check the generic columns checkbox below the region source to proceed without parsing.
(ORA-06550: line 4, column 42: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "MON" when expecting one of the following: . ( * @ % & = - + ; < / > at in is mod remainder not rem <> or != or ~= >= <= <> and or like between || multiset member SUBMULTISET_ The symbol ". was inserted before "MON" to continue.)
Notes:
1-the query is correct and it was tested under Toad and SQL Plus.
2- we tried Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only) option but we get the same problem.
any quick help please.

Hi
You haven't escaped your quotes in the string. Try this...
DECLARE
l_query VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
l_query:= 'select to_char(recording_date,''MM'') from re_productive';
RETURN l_query;
END;Cheers

SQL Query (PL/SQL Function Body returning SQL query) doesn't return any row

I have a region with the following type:
SQL Query (PL/SQL Function Body returning SQL query).
In a search screen the users can enter different numbers, separated by an ENTER.
I want to check these numbers by replacing the ENTER, which is CHR(13) || CHR(10) I believe, with commas. And then I can use it like this: POD IN (<<text>>).
It's something like this:
If (:P30_POD Is Not Null) Then
v_where := v_where || v_condition || 'POD IN (''''''''||REPLACE(''' || :P30_POD || ''', CHR(13) || CHR(10), '','')||'''''''''')';
v_condition := ' AND ';
End If;
But the query doesn't return any rows.
I tried to reproduce it in Toad:
select * from asx_worklistitem
where
POD IN (''''||REPLACE('541449200000171813'||CHR(13) || CHR(10)||'541449206006341366', CHR(13) || CHR(10), ''',''')||'''')
==> This is the query that does't return any rows
select (''''||REPLACE('541449200000171813'||CHR(13) || CHR(10)||'541449206006341366', CHR(13) || CHR(10), ''',''')||'''')
from dual;
==> This returns '541449200000171813','541449206006341366'
select * from asx_worklistitem
where pod in ('541449200000171813','541449206006341366');
==> and when I copy/paste this in the above query, it does return my rows.
So why does my first query doesn't work?
Doe anyone have any idea?
Kind regards,
Geert

Thanks for the help.
I made it work, but via the following code:
If (:P30_POD Is Not Null) Then
v_pods := REPLACE(:P30_POD, CHR(13) || CHR(10));
v_where := v_where || v_condition || 'POD IN (';
v_counter := 1;
WHILE (v_counter < LENGTH(v_pods)) LOOP
v_pod := SUBSTR(v_pods, v_counter, 18);
IF (v_counter <> 1) THEN
v_where := v_where || ',';
END IF;
v_where := v_where || '''' || v_pod || '''';
v_counter := v_counter + 18;
END LOOP;
v_where := v_where || ')';
v_condition := ' AND ';
End If;But now I want to make an update of all the records that correspond to this search criteria. I can give in a status via a dropdownlist and that I want to update all the records that correspond to one of these POD's with that status.
For a region you can build an SQL query via PL/SQL, but for a process you only have a PL/SQL block. Is the only way to update all these records by making a loop and make an update for every POD that is specified.
Because I think this will have a lot of overhead.
I would like to make something like a multi row update in an updateable report, but I want to specify the status from somewhere else. Is this possible?
