How to change the utilised join for a particular report

Hi,
I have a discoverer report which is very similar to a previously developed report. I copied the report and now I want to change the join that is utilised by the new one (Two different joins exist between the two folders being used). How can I do this?
In the report items tab under selected items in edit work sheet I can see the different joins and the one it is currently being used is ticked, i can right mouse click on the joins but the options to add/remove from worksheet are disabled (Greyed out)
Can anyone tell me how to do this?
Thanks in advance
Keith

Short answer - I'd recreate the new report.
Long answer - I'm not sure if 10g handles this differently, but I've seen many a Disco 4 report that somehow has a 'memory' that you just can't get rid of.
For example, if you chose some items from one folder and some others from another folder due to a join, then you deleted all those 2nd folder items, and chose from a third - and you absolutely, positively (thx. fedex) know that there's nothing referring to the original 2nd. folder (ie: no conditions, calculations, functions, etc.), you may very well still see the original 2nd. folder being referred to in the SQL. Sounds strange but it does occur.
So, again, if 4.x, then for sure I'd start from scratch for the new report. If 10.x, I'd probably still start from scratch as even if fixed, I've just seen it screw up my day too many times in the past to try to copy something that probably only takes 15 minutes of recreation work.

  • How to change the table's for an existing report

    Hello,
    How can I change the table names for reports created with a different table name? for e.g If I created a report which included a table called "2009_10_example", How can I change that table to a different table "2010_10_example1".
    I am using Crystal reports 2008, and the reports were created using Report Creating Wizard.
    Thanks,
    Abhishek

    In the Database Menu, there is an option Set Datasource Location.  This allows you to pick a table from the current tables used, and select a table to replace it with.  Press the Update button, and Crystal will swap one for the other.  If the field names and data types are all the same, it will automatically change all references throughout the report to the new table's fields.
    May I suggest that your tables are set up improperly if you have to change report code to run it for different months?  The data should all be in one table with dates, and parameters to select the date range to report on.  (That was said in the spirit of helping...)

  • How to change the Display Pattern for Decimal Fields dynamically

    hi all,
    Can any one help me how to change the display pattern for decimal fields dynamically???
    Currently I am using z,zzz,zzz,zz9.999 Display pattern for Quantity Field. If the value is blank it is displaying as 0.000 on the Screen. But I don't want this to be printed.
    Please help me how to solve this ASAP.
    Thanks,
    Prabhu

    Hi,
    Alternatively you can handle it in the context.
    In the context area, click on the quantity. In the bottom, click on the conditions tab, and put a condition
    <quan field> NE initial.
    So the field will not be printed if there is no value.

  • How to change the package name for a msg class

    Can anybody tell me how to change the package name for a message class.
    and how will it effect in the rerport?
    thanks in advance
    kp

    >>and how will it effect in the report?
    You wouldn't see any direct effect on the Report.. But if you transport the report to QA & leave the Message class in Dev, it might result in syntax issues & you will not be able to execute the report. Just ensure that both of them get transported to QA & you will be fine.

    is it possible you have multiple itunes accounts?
    when you changed your itunes account from your me.com to your gmail.com address did you change it within the itunes Edit Account Info ('Store' menu then select 'View My Account', then sign in , select edit account info) or did you just create another itunes account?

  • How to find the customer exits for a particular transaction

    hi
    how to find the customer exits for a particular transaction

    Hi jyothsna vankadari ,
    ther is a convenient way to find all BADIS called. You may know that BADIS are the newer version of EXITs.
    I would suggest you to go for BADI.
    Follow the below steps to find out what all BADI's are called when you press any button in any transaction.
    1) Goto se24 (Display class cl_exithandler)
    2) Double click on the method GET_INSTANCE.
    3) Put a break point at Line no.25 (CASE sy-subrc).
    Now
    4) Execute SAP standard transaction
    5) Press the required button for which you need to write an exit logic, the execution will stop at the break point.
    6) Check the values of variable 'exit_name', it will give you the BADI name called at that time.
    7) This way you will find all the BADIs called on click of any button in any transaction.
    Regards,
    Clemens

  • How to change the "home" computer for a iPod touch 3G (iOS 4.2.1) and an iPad 2(iOS5)? Music library has been already moved to iTunes on the new computer.

    I have a iPod Touch (3rd gen) that has not upgraded it's OS beyond iOS4.2.1 even if I have tried connecting it into iTiunes I have a iPad2 which has been recently upgraded to iOS5 . Both were connected to a laptop computer that my husband will take with him when he moves to a different city. I will most probably buy a second laptop sometime, but meanwhile I want to tether my iPod touch and iPad 2 to my desktop PC for now. Before I took the plunge, I had a few questions which I am hoping this forum will help me answer
    1. How to switch the Home PC for these devices? I have already transfered my Music library on to my Home PC and then downloaded and reorganised with iTunes. Since I am reorganising the library anyway I don't minding removing all my music from the iTouch and set it up from scratch for the music. However, I removed all musci from theiTouch, changed it to manual mode and connected it to the desktop- It's detecting it fine- but it still is not the home computer for the iTouch- everytime I try to put new music in it- it is deleting everything old- I can't see the same controls as I see from the laptop at all- how to rectify this? To I need to set this up as a new iPod (restore route)?
    on the touch I have very few apps and don't care about them. on the iPad I do have a couple of valuable apps that I want to hold on to- so have n't tinkered with it at all- what is the smoothest way for thsi transition? The iPad doesn't have any music on it at this time, but what to do if I want to transfer some?
    2. Is there a way I can store the organised iTunes info in any way- like I said I might buy a new laptop in a few months but do not want to reorganise my iTunes over agaoin- it' a fairly large collection most of which is n't purchased from the iTunes store.
    3. Why sin't my iTouch 3G upgrading- it's stuck on iOS4.2.1 but iTunes doesn't show any updates- even with chck updates button iTunes show that it is a current version.
    thanks for reading through and any help that I can get to sort this mess out.

    The recent release of iBooks 1.2.1 has corrected the problem of the missing Dutton edition of Winnie-the-Pooh. It may have been there with the previous install of iBooks but it would never display in the bookshelf. After updating iBooks to 1.2.1, the Dutton version (the one included with iBooks) suddenly appeared on the bookshelf. So it was a software glitch after all and not a fix Apple chose to document explicitly in the update.
