How do I set a NULL value for the parameter field

Hi
I've another question. I'm going to set single values for parameter fields.
// e.g. set today for StartDate parameter field
fc.setCurrentValue("", "StartDate", new Date());
It should be possible to set a NULL value for date parameter fields.
fc.setCurrentValue("", "StartDate", (Date)null);
But this do not work. How do I set a NULL value correctly?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Thomas

First question - is it a stored procedure parameter?
You can't set a regular parameter field value to a null value.
There was an issue with old version of the JRC, where it was allowing null to go through, but had unexpected behavior at times.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

How do I pass a null value to the reportDocument?

I'm using CR 2008 and VS 2005.
I am using a stored procedure as the datasource for one of my report, which we run using the C# API.   The stored procedure is expecting a NULL in certain cases and I find I cannot pass a NULL with my current code:
// Here I get the parameter
// If we are dealing with an empty string or a NULL value, let's give it
                        // a value of a space so that Crystal's DLLs don't choke.
                        if ((value.Length == 0) || (value == "NULL"))
                            value = " ";
                        arrParams.Add(value);
Object strParam = arrParams<i>;
this.reportDocument1.SetParameterValue(num, strParam);
The stored procedure parameter type is INT so in the report it shows up as NUMBER.
How do I get a NULL value to the stored procedure?
Thanks.

See if this does the trick:
Dim crParameterDiscreteValue As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue()
crParameterDiscreteValue.Value = Nothing
C# would look something like;
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue crParameterDiscreteValue;
crParameterDiscreteValue = new CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue();
crParameterDiscreteValue.Value = null;

Multiple values for the Parameter

1. Had any tried the selecting MULTIPLE values for the parameter in Oracle Discoverer Plus Releae 4.1 Version 4.1.37.00.0. If so can please let me know how to implement it.
2. In a Page-Detail Cross Tab workbook, I have to show the weighted average instead of the avg or sum. Any inputs please.
3. I have to compare two periods (TOP) of datapoints. Any inputs please.

If you wanted to eliminate the need for users to type in the parameter values, you could create a LOV on the desired column. This will produce a distinct list of all valid values where the user would simply select as the wish. Of course you still need to check the "let user enter multiple values" checkbox if you want them to select more than one.

How do I set subproperty values of a parameter (container) I'm passing?

I want to pass a custom data type (a container with subproperties)as a parameter.
How do I specify the subproperty values in the parameter expression for the SequenceCall step? Can I specify some subproperty values, and leave the others at their default values?
I know that I could create a Local variable of the same type in the calling sequence, set it up in one step, and then pass the whole thing in the SequenceCall step, but is there a way to specify the values in the parameter expression instead?

Hi,
Is this the sort of thing your are after.

How do I get a new value for the service name field and update it in Connection Properties?

I am running Windows Vista. I just upgraded to Firefox 4. When I try to log on to the internet, it tells me the proxy server is refusing connections. A diagnostic reported Error 815 and said the remote server is not responding because there is an invalid value for the "Service Name" field. It said to get a new value and update it in Connection Properties. How do I do this?

When you create a new film script, the first page you see is a title page.
The page after this title page is the one where you generally type in your scenes.
It looks like you are facing some issue and not able to delete any text.
Can you please send me this script so that I can have a better look at your issue?
You can save this script to disk by using option 'File -> Save to disk'. This will create a '.stdoc' file on your system.
Just mail this '.stdoc' file to me at 'roverma <at> adobe <dot> com'

How do I set a recurring event for the last day of the month on iphone 4s calendar?

I want to set a recurring event for the last day of every month - regardless of the date/number of days in the month. I'd prefer not to have to use an app to do this.

Hi,
You can do this using the custom repeat in iCal. You'll need two events to cover the second and fourth Mondays.
Create the event on the second Monday of the month. In Repeat select Custom... > Frequency: Monthly > On the: second Monday.
Do the same for the Fourth Monday.
Best wishes

Modify default value for static parameter field programmatically

Hi,
I have my Crystal Reports stored in a BO Enterprise system. I have written a java programm that scans the repository, loads the CR reports one by one into a ReportClientDocument, modifies the data source and then stores the updated report back to repository (it overwrites the existing objects).
I was even able to modify the default values for the parameters, which are used for scheduling of each report.
But what I am trying to do know is to overwrite the default value used when invoking the report interactively. This should be the value found under the Default Value field, when the Properties window of the parameter is opened in the CR designer.
This is what I have tried so far:
Option 1: First I tried to set the default values using com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.ReportClientDocument.getDataDefinition().getParameterFieldController().getField(...).getDefaultValues() . The only thing I have managed to do using this approach is to modify the static LOVs that are associated to static parameters. The actual selected value (shown under Default Value in the Properties window for the given parameter field) remained unchanged, when invoking the report in the InfoView or opening it in the CR designer.
Option 2: I have used com.crystaldecisions.sdk.plugin.desktop.report.IReport.getReportParameters().get(ik).getDefaultValues() to change the default values. I was able to see my changes in the BO repository (using a query on CI_INFOOBJECTS), still the changes did not really have an impact to what is displayed as default value when invoking the report in the InfoView.
Any help will be appreciated.
It would be great to know if someone of you has already implemented successfully such a use-case.
Regards,
Stratos

Pass the results from a selection formula to the default values for a parameter field

Post Author: kevans
CA Forum: General
Crystal 10 u2013 SQL 2000
I want to create a parameter field that will display all of our IT Departments so the end user can select the one they want to run the report against, such as IT-Security, IT-Network, etc. about 40 in all. BUT I donu2019t want this to be a static list where I type in all 40 depts in the default list, I was hoping I could do something more dynamic such a formula field that says u201C if {group.name startswith u2018ITu2019 then {group.name}u201D and then have the parameter field pull from this source.
Iu2019m sure this has been answered in a previous post but Iu2019m not finding it. I see stuff on creating a record selection formula such as u2018if {?group} like u2018IT-Secur*u2019 thenu2026u201D but this leaves too much room for error if people donu2019t type the name correctly. Maybe Iu2019m not using the record selection formula correctly? Sorry if I offend anyone but I just upgraded from 8 to 10 and thought for sure this option would be in 10, perhaps built right into the parameter default value page where you can place in select criteria but NOTHING has changed.

Post Author: sharonmtowler
CA Forum: General
if you are creating the parameters in the rpt file, it will only pull values you enter, or directly from the database
in the record selection you can do something like this, so if they only enter the first 2 characters it should pick up only the IT etc.
(if eft(,2)={?parameter} then true else ={?parameter})

How to dynamically set a bounded value for a VO at runtime

Hi all,
I am working on a custom page for time card summary, the VO's query like this:
select Timecard_Id,.... from timecard_summary where supervisor_id = :1
There is a utility that can retrieve supervisor_id from system, but I don't know how I can set this supervisor_id before the query is execute, I think I need a controller to do that right after user clicks "Go" button in simpleSearch Panel, but I cannot find the way to determine if the "Go" button in simpleSearch Panel is clicked.

Hi Sumit,
I had tried over riding the initquery and execute query to meet the same requirement but the where clause i was setting wasn being set since the execute query somehow was making it null.
When i did hard code the whereclause params in the the executequery(),it worked fine but then i couldn have passed any variables.
Then finally i went around the oaf guide and found something like ,
dic[]=getcriteriaitems.... and it solved the purpose for me.

How can I set a specific value for a field, according to the option selected in a previous drop-down menu?

Eg.: I have a drop down menu with the following options: "1,2,3,4,5". What I want to do is the followin: If the option selected is "1" the field "Color" must be filled with "Green", if "2" the field color must be filled with "Red", etc

You can use something like this as the custom calculation script of the color field:
var v = this.getField("Dropdown1").valueAsString;
if (v=="1") event.value = "Green";
else if (v=="2") event.value = "Red";
// etc.
else event.value = "";

Delete after trigger returns a NULL value for the old primary key??

I am creat an After trigger that I was using to delete a row from another table. However, the OLD value returned for my primary key is a NULL value. I have an UPDATE and an INSERT portion to this same trigger that work fine with just grabbing NEW values, but this OLD value cannot be grabbed for some reason, although it seems to work on other tables when the owner is me, the problem table is not owned by me though. Has anyone run into this before? Is there a view that I need access to from this table or perhaps a setting I need to turn on? I am at a loss. Thanks.

Cannot reproduce with this modified trigger code â¦ right now I believe the problem is in this part:

No errors.

vdata(3)=null
vdata(4)=null
1 row created.
flip@FLOP> update core.oinftabl set akey=2, astring='cba' where akey=1;
new akey=2
new astring=cba
vdata(1)=2
vdata(2)=cba
vdata(3)=null
vdata(4)=null
1 row updated.
flip@FLOP> delete from core.oinftabl where akey=2;
old akey=2
vdata(1)=2
vdata(2)=null
1 row deleted.
So the trigger has the OLD AKEY value when DELETING and it does successfully store it in the VARRAY.
Hence the problem is in that pl/sql block at the end.
What are you doing in there?
