How to change Stored Procedure Parameters to a value in a formula?

My Client is using Crystal 8.5 on MSSQL 2005.  The crystal report is called from vb6 application, the client does not have access to the vb6 source code (they are upgrading vb.net), therefore I can only work in the crystal report.
The vb6 code updates 2 formula fields Start_Date and End_Date in the crystal report.  I would like to pass these values as parameters to the stored procedure and suppress the "Enter Parameter Values" box.
Stored Procedure: tcs_AMP_eSuper
    Parameters:  @startDate, @EndDate
What I would like in crystal:
    {?@startDate} = {@Start_Date}
    {?@endDate} = {@End_Date}
Thanks

Hi Barry,
You can't run a Stored Procedure with Parameters unless you fill in the values and you can't get the values unless you prompt for them or provide then in the connection properties in code.
So in your app just fill in the parameter values when logging in. Create your own Param UI or get them from somewhere from a preselected list. As long as they are valid then CR won't prompt for them.
I don't understand why this is such a problem for you? Parameters will prompt, it's by definition. Create a UDL file, open NotePad and then rename it to *.udl. Double click the file and the OLE DB Provider log on UI will pop up. Connect to your SP with parameters and then save it. Open in edit mode and you'll see the SQL to open the SP with Values in the connection.
Something like: exec YourSP;1, startdateValue, Enddate value
So in code use that line in the log on method and the user won't get prompted. How you fill in those dates is up to you.

  • How to change stored procedure with Table Valued Parameter

    I am not sure how to change the normal stored procedure with Table Value Parameter.Do I have to create a separate Table or do I have to create a datatype. Can you please help me with this
    ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[uspInsertorUpdateINF]
    @dp_id char(32),
    @dv_id char(32),
    @em_number char(12),
    @email varchar(50),
    @emergency_relation char(32),
    @option1 char(16),
    @status char(20),
    @em_id char(35),
    @em_title varchar(64),
    @date_hired datetime
    AS
    BEGIN
    SET NOCOUNT ON;
    MERGE [dbo].[em] AS [Targ]
    USING (VALUES (@dp_id, @dv_id , @em_number, @email, @emergency_relation, @option1, @status, @em_id, @em_title, @date_hired))
    AS [Sourc] (dp_id, dv_id, em_number, email, emergency_relation, option1, status, em_id, em_title, date_hired)
    ON [Targ].em_id = [Sourc].em_id
    WHEN MATCHED THEN
    UPDATE
    SET dp_id = [Sourc].dp_id,
    dv_id = [Sourc].dv_id,
    em_number = [Sourc].em_number,
    email = [Sourc].email,
    emergency_relation = [Sourc].emergency_relation,
    option1 = [Sourc].option1,
    status = [Sourc].status,
    em_title = [Sourc].em_title,
    date_hired = [Sourc].date_hired
    WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET THEN
    INSERT (dp_id, dv_id, em_number, email, emergency_relation, option1, status, em_id, em_title,date_hired)
    VALUES ([Sourc].dp_id, [Sourc].dv_id, [Sourc].em_number, [Sourc].email, [Sourc].emergency_relation, [Sourc].option1, [Sourc].status, [Sourc].em_id, [Sourc].em_title, [Sourc].date_hired);
    END;

    It's not clear how you would change the procedure. But assuming that you want to replace the existing scalar parameters with tabular input, this is how you would do it. You first create a table type:
    CREATE TYPE  Insertor_type AS TABLE
        (dp_id                char(32),
         dv_id                char(32),
        em_number            char(12),
        email                varchar(50),
        emergency_relation   char(32),
        option1              char(16),
        status               char(20),
        em_id                char(35),
        em_title             varchar(64),
        date_hired           datetime)
    Then you change the procedure header:
    ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[uspInsertorUpdateINF] @tvp Insertor_type READONLY AS
    And finally you change the USING clause:
       USING (SELECT dp_id, dv_id , em_number, email, emergency_relation, option1, status, em_id, em_title, date_hired
              FROM   @tvp) AS [Sourc] ON [Targ].em_id = [Sourc].em_id
    The rest is fine as it is.

    Hi Gurus,

  • How to use stored procedures in DIAdem and Can the stored procedures be used to return values?

    Can anyone please tell me how to use stored procedures in diadem and to return values from it. Its really important, can you please answer it at the earliest.
    Thanks In advance
    spiya

    Hi Spria,
    I'm very sorry for the mix-up, I thought Allen was going to answer you back with the particulars that we found out. Check out the attached Word document and the below tidbits:
    The built-in DIAdem ODBC functions {SQL_...()} can only call stored functions, which return a scaler result {found then in SQL_Result(1,1)}. The syntax for this with an ORACLE db is
    "select function(parameters) from package"
    ...where package defaults to "dual" if you don't use your own package.
    There might be exceptions to that though, and the syntax will be different for other databases. Note that stored ORACLE procedures can NOT be called from the ODBC functions, instead you must use either ADO function calls in the DIA
    dem VBScript or the OO4O COM wrapper that ORACLE provides (this is described in further detail in the below Word document).
    Hope this helps,

  • Unused stored procedure parameters marked with a check mark in crystal reports

    Post Author: epowers0213
    CA Forum: General
    Hello,
    I have some Crystal Reports that currently use stored procedures as their datasources (I am in the process of modifying them to use datasets instead).  Some of the original reports have check marks next to stored procedure parameters which I cannot find as being used anywhere in the report.  Is this a legitimate possibility? (Some of them do not have check marks, however, so it is not consistent.)
    More Info:  I am using Crystal Reports within Visual Studio 2005.  I have looked through each report in every way I can think of to find if a parameter field is being used anywhere - I have checked all formula fields, the formatting formulas for sections and individual fields, the record and group selection formulas and the grouping and sorting experts, along with any subreports (although some of them have no subreports).
    (I have read on other forums that exporting a report definition file is another way to look for where fields or parameters are being used, but this does not appear possible within Visual Studio 2005.)
    In some cases, I have gone ahead and replaced the stored procedure datasource location with a dataset (generated based on the same stored procedure).  When I do this, Crystal automatically deletes the stored procedure parameters from the report, and I have still been able to run the modified report successfully - at least it looks ok and nothing is complaining.  So is it possible that these parameters were actually not being used anywhere on the report although they were marked with a check mark?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!  I want to make sure I am not changing the function of these reports somehow without knowing it...
    Thank you!

    Are you referencing another database that Crystal can't see? Also, you can try and copy the SQL to a command object in Crystal to see if it behaves differently there.

    The Data Block Wizard is not for creating stored procedures. It will allow you to use a stored procedure in your form. See the help documentation for how to use the wizard.
    Here's an example of a simple procedure. If you search the database forum or the web, you will find many examples.

    You don't need a stored procedure.
    If you want the amount only for one date, you can use the filter option in the formula :
    FILTER("Sales Facts"."Amount Sold" USING (Time.Day = '31 jan'))You can calculate the last day with the timestampdiff function
    31Jan = 1 Feb - 1 dayIf you want the amount of the month see my post here :

  • How to call stored procedure from Pro*C

    How to call stored procedure from Pro*C ?
    my system spec is SuSE Linux 9.1, gcc version : 3.3.3, oracle : 10g
    my Pro*C code is the following..
    EXEC SQL EXECUTE
    begin
    test_procedure();
    end;
    END-EXEC;
    the test_procedure() has a simple update statement. and it works well in SQL Plus consol. but in Pro*C, there is a precompile error.
    will anybody help me what is the problem ??

    I'm in the process of moving C files (with embedded SQL, .PC files) from Unix to Linux. One program I was trying to compile had this piece of code that called an Oracle function (a standalone), which compiled on Unix, but gives errors on Linux:
    EXEC SQL EXECUTE
    BEGIN
    :r_stat := TESTSPEC.WEATHER_CHECK();
    END;
    END-EXEC;
    A call similar to this is in another .PC file which compiled on Linux with no problem. Here is what the ".lis" file had:

  • How to edit stored procedure from sqlplus ?

    Hi,
    Can anyone advise how to edit stored procedure from sqlplus ?
    Many thanks.

    You can get the source for an object from SQL*Plus by querying the user_source table, i.e.
    SQL> create procedure foo
      2  as
      3  begin
      4    dbms_output.put_line( 'foo' );
      5  end;
      6  /
    Procedure created.
    SQL> select text
      2    from user_source
      3   where name = 'FOO'
      4   order by line;
    TEXT
    procedure foo
    as
    begin
      dbms_output.put_line( 'foo' );
    end;Most commonly, though, if you are using SQL*Plus and a text editor to develop stored procedures, you will have all your stored procedures in .sql files that you edit and just use SQL*Plus to create (or recreate) the stored procedures.
