How to access a non-database column in a report?

Hi all,
I would like to populate a column in my report, which is not based (in Oracle Forms, it is a "non-database item").
But I don't know how to access it. Let's say the alias of the column is "column", I tried to do it with #column#, but it's not valid.
Does anyone know a solution here?
Thanks a lot,
Dovik

Where do you need to access the column value ? Are other columns of the report accessible from where you are trying to access the value of this 'non database' column ?

Non Database Column to Grid Control

Hi,
How do I add a Non database column to a Grid Control which is
based on a Rowset. I want the similar functionality of a
multirow Block in D2K Forms, which is based on a Database query
and to which another item is added which is non Database item
and it is also displayed as any another item in the same
multirow block. The updatable and queryable property for this
item is set to false.
How do I get similar functionality in JDeveloper using InfoSwing
GridControl. Thanx in advance.

The GridControl does not have built-in support for this
functionality. However, the GridControl source code is provided
so you can extend the control to provide this functionality.
In 3.0, the Oracle Business Components for Java will provide the
ability to create objects that can mix db and non-db attributes.
The GridControl can then be bound to this object to provide the
functionality you seek.

Hi Smita,
In case your portal has MS SQL server as its databse, then I am giving the step by step directions to achieve 90% of what you wish to do. Rest 10% you can try on your own.
Go through my article given below:
[How to Create a Web Service using Enterprise JavaBeans|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/uuid/b00917dc-ead4-2910-3ebb-b0a63e49ef10]
First go through pages 1-12 which will help you to create user/table in MS SQL database as well as create a data source in Visual Admin. Page 19 will give you the code which you can use in your Portal component to access the tables you have created in your SQL database.
I hope your problem gets solved.

How to display subtotals in separate column in alv report?

thanks&regards.

Hi
As far as i know you can't do this,the option you have is to create one more column (subtotal) and populate it by manual calculation at every subtotal (not alv subtotal but yours) .

How to access a Cloudscpae database?

I have problems setting up and accessing the J2EE RI built-in database Cloudscape.
In the EJB tutorial (EJBIntro) some EJB are created during the exercises. There's
also a file named MusicStoreDB.jar which contains a prepared Cloudscape database.
In the turorial it's been told:
"Sun's J2EE Reference Implementation comes with a built-in version of the
Cloudscape RDBMS. If you are using J2EE RI, you should initially use Cloudscape as
your database to avoid configuration problems. You can learn how to substitute a
different database after you become comfortable with creating and deploying
applications using Cloudscape."
and:
"For Cloudscape, simply copy the MusicStoreDB.jar archive into the directory
%J2EE_HOME%\cloudscape and then unjar the database. (All files unjar into the
directory MusicStoreDB within the current working directory.)
One last step is needed when running with J2EE RI: You need to modify the
%J2EE_HOME%\config\default.properties file to define the datasources available
to J2EE RI. This is done by changing the line that reads:
jdbc.datasources=jdbc/Cloudscape|
jdbc:cloudscape:rmi:CloudscapeDB;create=true
(with everything on one line)
to be:
jdbc.datasources=jdbc/Cloudscape|
jdbc:cloudscape:rmi:CloudscapeDB;create=true|
jdbc/MusicStore|jdbc:cloudscape:rmi:MusicStoreDB;create=false
(with everything on one line)
and then restarting both Cloudscape and J2EE RI."
Rather than doing the changes in "default.properties" I did in "resources.properties"
but it dooesn't work.
What am I doing wrong? Can anybody help me to get the database run? How do I have to
register the MusicStoreDB within resources.properties and how can I access this database
using the DatabaseTool provided with the EJB tutorial?
Thank you.

Query a non-database column

My main table is SR_TECHS which has tech id and Techname
My second table and block is sr_tech_calendar.
Here tech_name is a non-database field.
When I type J% in the Tech_name field and query, I should be able to get all tech_names
starting with 'J'
How can I get it through pre-query and what should I do in the post-query?

you achieve this by setting
set_block_property('blockname',default_where,'give neccessery where condition')
in pre_query trigger

How to query on non database item?

I am working on AP Invoice form. The Invoice Header block based on table ap_invoices_all, I have database items such as invoice_num, invoice_date, and invoice_amount. I also have some non databases item like supplier and supplier number. I added POST_QUERY:
declare
supplier varchar2(240);
supplier_number varchar2(30);
supplier_site varchar2(15);
begin
select aps.vendor_name, aps.segment1
into :invoice_header.supplier, :invoice_header.supplier_number
from ap_suppliers aps
where aps.vendor_id = :invoice_header.vendor_id;
Also in PRE-QUERY
declare
supplier varchar2(240);
supplier_number varchar2(30);
supplier_site varchar2(15);
invoice_num varchar2(50);
invoice_date date;
invoice_amount number;
begin
select aia.invoice_num, aia.invoice_date, aia.invoice_amount
into :invoice_header.invoice_num, :invoice_header.invoice_date, :invoice_header.invoice_amount
from ap_invoices_all aia
where aia.vendor_id = (select vendor_id from ap_suppliers where vendor_name = :invoice_header.supplier);
It's showing fine with Suppier iformation I query by invoices, but I doesn't work when I query by supplier.
Can anyone help? I really appreciate.

Hello,
Thanks for your reply. I think I need to clarify my problem
Your cursor has the same result as what I have in the post-query:
Select aps.vendor_name, aps.segment1
into :invoice_header.supplier, :invoice_header.supplier_number
from ap_suppliers aps
where aps.vendor_id = :invoice_header.vendor_id;
and they both work when I query on a database item, such as invoice_num and the non database item vendor name and vendor number will show up. I am doing ok with this.
My problem is when I query on vendor name field which is not a database item, such as CLARK PUBLIC UTILITIES, it will not return CLARK PUBLIC UTILITIES only, instead it returned all the suppliers. Could you please help with this? Thanks a lot.

Deleting a non-database column

Hi,
In forms, i have one field, manager_id, database block = YES, but it is not visible on any canvas. Instead of this, the non-database item manager_name is displayed in form, and populated from a post-query trigger (with the name of the manager). Is there any property, or something, so if i delete the content of a particulat manager_name (set it to null), the manager_id also sets to null?
Thanks

How can i delete One Blank Column in my report

Hi guru's,
can any one tell me .........
i'm getting one Blank column in Query output.How can i delete that Blank Column ?
in the same way Row Also....
Thanking u advancely
Chandra

Here is a site with some nice sample code on deleting rows / columns : [http://www.java2s.com/Code/JavaScript/HTML/ModifyingTableColumns.htm|http://www.java2s.com/Code/JavaScript/HTML/ModifyingTableColumns.htm]
As to where to put the code, edit your web template, then put the code in there. There are script web items that you can use, but be aware that editing javascript in the script item is not too pleasant. I have found the best approach is to rather create the javascript file on my machine, then upload it to the MIME repository, then reference that in the web template.
Here is how I have referenced the javascript file sitting in our MIME repository:
< script src="bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/Customer/javascript/CustomCalculations.js" />
I hope this helps you out.
Cheers,
Andrew

How to display more than 60 columns in a report

I have a table defined as follows
id
column_name
column_value
data sample
id col_name column_value
1 col1 val1
1 col2 val2
1 col3 val3
2 col1 val1
2 col2 val2
2 col3 val3
now I want to display the data in a report as follows
id col1 col2 col3
1 val1 val2 val3
2 val1 val2 val3
I was able to generate output using pivots [http://technology.amis.nl/blog/1197/pivot-dynamic-data]
the problem is that I can have more that 60 columns retrieved in each row, the pivot solution will retrieve them correctly but I can't display more than 60 columns in apex reports, why this restriction in apex, any solution

Hello:
In the Source section of the report definition choose 'Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only)' and then specify a suitable value for 'Maximum number of generic report columns:'

How to access the "Non Adapter" properties in Teststand API

Hi,
I'm trying to dynamically create a sequence file through Labview with the help of the API. So far I have eben able to create the file, add a sequence call into the file as well as link the sequence call to a particular sequence file that will be called. Now, I wish to add certain "non-adapter" steps into the sequence file like Goto, Label, Property Loader etc. I can't seem to find a way to access the propeties once the step has been added. In the LV adapter, I was able to access the TSAdp.SequenceCall API and manipulate the properties. How do I do the same for the non-adapter ones?
Also, when I load the sequence file through the TSAdp.SequenceCall API, i'm unable to access the parameters and link the inputs and outputs. I've attached a portion of my code and would really appreciate some help.
Thanks in advance,
-Anshul

Thanks for everyone's replies. I am now able to set the parameters for the sequence file, just that I added a property node for the sequence file path and the sequence before loading the parameters. That did the trick and the rest was easy. Also for Goto, with some digging, I was able to add a custom property step if it fails or passes the step. It works like a charm. I'm attaching a modified version of my code in LV 7.0 format.
