How to display 'Alpha numeric values' in lower character?

Hi,
We have 'Alpha numeric value' in one column and i need to display alphabets in lower character.
I tried but throwing error.
SQL> select * from a439487.ora_dev_inventory;
HOST_NM HA INV_DT
SMMK94 - 21-AUG-08
SQL> select to_lower(HOST_NM) from a439487.ora_dev_inventory;
select to_lower(HOST_NM) from a439487.ora_dev_inventory
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00904: "TO_LOWER": invalid identifier
I want 'HOST_NM' to be displayed in lower value.
I need o/p like 'smmk94'.
Any idea?

Where did you find the TO_LOWER function? Can you
show us?I would guess it was just an assumption based on the fact we have to_char, to_date, to_number...
;)

How do I copy/paste full numerical-only account strings into the Projects WebADI template when the account segment fields in the template require use of the dropdown because they're formatted as alpha-numeric values?

How do I copy/paste full numerical-only account strings into the Projects WebADI template when the account segment fields in the template require use of the dropdown because they're formatted as alpha-numeric values? I'm using the Integrator named "Projects - Transaction Import" and a custom Layout created based on the seeded Layout named "Transaction Import - Accounted". Do I need to somehow change my Layout to make the Document accept numerical values instead of requiring alpha-numeric values? I need to be able to populate the Document with a large amount of transactions and cannot feasibly go through every transaction to add the alpha-valued name of the account segment to every segment that requires it. The segments in particular causing the problem are "Expnd Type" and "Organization Name" which are both alpha-numeric and as such contain the segment number and name; I need to be able to only have to enter the Natural Account Number (6-digit number only) and the Organization Number (5-digit number only).

BEx report hangs- selecting Alpha numeric values

I am working on the existing customer report
customer is the selection parameter for my report.
Issue is Customer has numerical and alpha numerical values.
If i give parameter rangs of value is numerical
01 - 500 query works fine
01-50cust1
50 cust1 - 195 cust2
query hangs.
Is their any way we can improve the query performance .
for searching alphanumerica values.
I have a workbook is built based on the query.
morethan 6 queries attached in the sheet 1....sheet2
each sheet has it is own query with values.
when I refresh and execute the workbook with the customer alphanumerica values it hangs.
Query is built based on the multiprovider.
Please help me onthis

Hello,
Try exporting in the 'fully formated grids and text'. It shouldl give you the 'member alias' used in the report.
Looks like if you export in the 'querry ready grids and text' it will show the 'member name' as in database although the report may have used the 'member alias'.

How to display the sort value in the selection screen in the report title

Dear All,
How to display the sort value in the selection screen in the report title? I have selected a value in the selection screen for sorting , but i need that values by which i have sorted with in the report title. Can you please throw some light on this!!
Good day,
Thanks and regards
Arun S

Hi Arun,
Try this.
1, Set one dynamic parameter,
2, Drag and drop that parameter into your report title.
3, Pass the value(sort value) dynamically from your application,
4, Cheers..
Other wise Try with Dataset, create a dataset and fill thev alue into that.. Then set the data source from CR designer. and darg and drop that data column into the report.
Hope this will work,
Regards,
Salah

How to display first row value returened from a query as checked as default in a report

How to display first row value returned from a query as checked as default in a report
Example
Parameter 1
Paramerter2
ABD
x(checked)
Test
DEF
JMG
Mudassar

Hi Mudassar,
The issue is caused by the order in which the parameters appear in the report data tab can be difference between our report execution and it failing. In other words, “Parameter2” is execution before parameter “A” due to this issue. We can adjust the parameter’s
order to solve the issue.
If “Parameter2” is parameter “A”, we cannot use that expression. Because fields cannot be used in report parameter expression, if we want to display the first value returned from a query as default value, we have to fill the “Specify values” text box with
the specific value in Default Values dialog box.

Alpha Numeric Values

Hi
IS it supported in GL code combinations to have a alpha numeric values in key segment values .. we have a project segment in our chart of accounts and need the aplpha numeric values eg PRT001 , ADT001 etc . We do have some customizations and wondering if code combinations would have any impact
Thanks

Yes you can have alpha numerics.

How do I add numeric values as text in XML??

HI,
So, I've developed a 3d carousel using this tutorial and the XML, and customized the XML in Dreamweaver.
http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play?id=33
Now, I've got the carousel set up exactly the way I would like, but the only trouble, is how do I add numeric values as the text for the xml file???
Here's an example to the working carousel and where text is loaded for each item on it. (put your sound on mute if you don't want to hear the video)
http://iongeo.com/collaboration_test_dev/video_arctic_imaging.html
For example, in my XML, if I would like the text to be "3d images", when I export the FLA, only "d images" comes through because the numeric values can't be added as the text for the tooltip.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Here is an example of how the XML is loaded into the .swf - the text loads great, but just not the numeric characters.
The same story can be said for special characters, I would like to know how to add a "&" sign too.
<icons>
<icon image="images/Subsalt_E_P_Partnerships.png" tooltip="3D Images" content="Text Copy.">
</icon>
</icons>
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Randy,
Thanks a lot for the reply. Your post got me thinking that it's actually a flash problem, as the actual descriptor text shows 123,etc and "&".
The trouble is that the icons are dynamically loaded from the XML to movie clips on the flash file. I've asked the flash forum to see if they could take a look.
Thanks again.

How to generate password alpha numeric value

dear friends,
i have written a simple pl/sql to generate a password.
declare
cursor c1 is select * from passwd;
begin
for I in c1
loop
if I.pfno < 3000 then
update passwd set pwd=I.pfno where i.pfno=pfno;
ELSe
update passwd set pwd=lpad(round(I.pfno/20520),4,'0') where i.pfno=pfno;
commit;
end if;
end loop;
end;
In this the pfno is 8 digit alpha numeric. I get password generated when it is only numeric but how could i get if pfno is like 04MAS155.
Kindly help as i have to generate the same as early as possible. I have already been given with procedure to generate random password by our guys but still as i had already generated password to some employees in my concern based on querries like above i request your help to generate for alpha numeric 8 digit number.

-- get a random string
    FUNCTION string (opt char, len NUMBER)
          /* "opt" specifies that the returned string may contain:
             'u','U' : upper case alpha characters only
             'l','L' : lower case alpha characters only
             'a','A' : alpha characters only (mixed case)
             'x','X' : any alpha-numeric characters (upper)
             'p','P' : any printable characters

How can I get HyperTrend to display the numeric value output of a CHOOSE statement?

I have non-linear values I need to display on a HyperTrend graph. I'm currently converting the input raw signal to a Units (Engineering) value and then looking up the actual value (from a calibration chart) using a CHOOSE statement in order to display the actual value on a panel, but I need to display the values output by the CHOOSE statement on a HyperTrend graph, along with other similar values.
How can I do this?

How to display a default value in BI Publisher

Hello friends,
I need to display a report based on supplier wise or dept wise stock.i've taken parameter type as menu and selecting the values from the drop down list for ex(1,2,3...)... what i want is I should display a default value like select item or something like that in drop down list so that any of the above said values are not shown to the reports user...
Please let me know how...
Thanks

Hello vetsrini,
thanks a lot for the reply... may be I'm not able to put my requiremet straight.. let me try one more time
My requirement is like the end user has to get the report based on whether he want dept wise or supplier wise
so
where sl.supplier=:supp
or d.dept_no=:dept
this is what i've given in the data set
the user gets report data based on either dept wise/supplier wise..
so I've given query in lov as select distinct dept_no from dept and select distinct supplier from suppliers for the two parameters supp and dept and the type as menu...
so I can see the values like (list of query generated values... ).. I want to do this thing like I want to display 'select' in that list...
is it possible?... Please let me know, if possible..
it should show like dept:select,101,102,103,104....)

How to pass a numeric value without its format to a subsequence?

I have a sequence with a numeric parameter that is interpreted as a 16-bit bit mask. The numeric format of the parameter of that sequence is therefore "%#.16b".
I also have a Sequence Call step in a second sequence (in the same file) that calls this first sequence. That second sequence passes literal values for that bit mask in the Sequence Call. My specific problem at this point is that, while debugging, I don't see the parameters in the numeric format I explicitly specified for them, but rather in one of three possible formats:
- Literal values seem to come with a "system"-wide (maybe sequence-file-specific?) default format, which is decimal instead of binary.
- Variable values (e.g. from the Locals) have their specific (and also explicitly defined) numeric format, which can be anything instead of binary.
- If I don't pass a value but use the parameter default, this default is shown in the parameter's actual numeric format, binary. This is the only case that works as intended.
How do I get the parameters to *always* keep the numeric format I specified for that sequence?
The attached file tries to reproduce the problem and the intended result using only Sequence Calls and Message Popups. My version is TestStand 3.1f1.

I just want to debug my subsequence and see its parameter represented as "0b0000000000011010" when I supply a literal value of 26.
Ok, I try to be more explicit and show my problem using your suggestion: (The resulting sequence file is attached.)
- Create a new sequence file.
- Insert a new sequence "Sequence".
- In "Sequence", create a parameter "Parameter" of type "Number".
- Change the numeric format of "Parameter" to Binary with a minimum of 16 digits and *without radix*, ie. "%.16b". (In the other sequence file I used "%#.16b".)
-> Intention: I want to see the supplied parameter value in this numeric format when debugging or converting to a string using Str().
- Still in "Sequence", create a local "Local" of type "Number".
- Change the numeric format of "Local" to the same as above, "%.16b".
-> Intention: I want to demonstrate your way here, which actually works (I can use it as the "reference string" of the yet-to-be-defined message box), but does in an indirect way what I want to do directly using only sequence parameters.
- Insert a "Statement" step in "Sequence".
- Of "Statement", "Edit Expression" and use "Locals.Local = Parameters.Parameter" as the expression.
- Insert a "Message Popup" step in "Sequence".
- Of "Message Popup", do "Edit Message Settings", and use the following expression as the Message Expression:
"I have this: " + Str(Parameters.Parameter) + "\n" +
"I want this: " + Str(Locals.Local)
- Insert a "SequenceCall" step in MainSequence.
- Point "SequenceCall" to sequence "Sequence" of the current file and supply exactly the literal value 26 for the parameter.
- In "MainSequence", create a local "Local" of type "Number".
- Change the numeric format of this "Local" to something very dangerous, eg. "%9.16o".
- Assign the exact numeric value 4616 to this "Local" variable.
-> Intention: I want to demonstrate that there are cases where a propagation of numeric formats to subsequences can actually be more than a mere nuisance.
- In "MainSequence", insert a second Sequence Call step, "SequenceCall_2".
- Let "SequenceCall_2" call the same sequence "Sequence", but supply Locals.Local for the parameter.
- Now run the sequence file in "Single Pass" mode.
- In the first popup, you see that I get the (binary!) representation 0000000000011010 only for the local variable, but I also want it for the parameter value.
- In the second popup, you see that I get the (octal!) representation 0000000000011010 for the parameter value, which would be correct (for what I want) if I had supplied the decimal literal 26 again. You see that the binary representation is something entirely different here!
I hope you now get the point. Thanks for answering!

How to check non-numeric value in a field

Hi all,
I have a field 'MVALUE'. HOw can I check if I have a non-numeric value in my field. Let us say if I have a value '<25' in this field. How can I check if the value in this field is non-numeric. The field MVALUE is of CHAR datatype.
Please help. Waiting.........

Might have to add a space in the string...
if not mvalue co ' 0123456789'.
* error
endif.
if you allow decimals and commas...
if not mvalue co ' .,0123456789'.
* error
endif.

How to display a variable value in WAD?

I am using a replacement path variable to filter a report by project number. While this works fine, the project number is not easily visible (only via Filter -> Display All Filter Values and this only displays the description, not the key).
How can I display the key and the description of the project number variable at the top of the report?
Thank you,
Dennis

The first part is right -
1) drag a text element onto the page, at a location in which you want the variable value to be displayed
2) On the left hand bottom page - go to the web item properties for the text element
3) scroll down to the specific properties for the item - in that uncheck the first two check boxes - display general text elements & display static filter values
4) in the next item in the properties (List of text elements) click once on the box where List is written and then clcik on the small browse button that appears.
5) in the window that opens, in the element type field, select variable/variable value as key (as per your requirement) and then under the element ID field type in the technical name of your variable that you want to display.
click ok and save your template and try executing it.
See if this solves your problem.

Nikhil

How to display only Day value instead of DATE in Bex Report

Hi Experts,
We have a Month to date Report, in this report we need to display only day value instead of DATE value,
Like
if Date is 14.05.2010 we need to show only 14
Regards,
Chandra

Hi ,
Thanks for Quick Response
we does have the option to create the char(calday or ...) value variable replacement with char (calday or ...) info object, we can replace with Report r variable value only not with info object.
i hope we can replace the with info object only with formula variable with replacement.
My BEx Report is Designed like
Columns
0Calday
Rows
Plant
Keyfigures
Actual
Plan
Report output Looks like month to date
0CALDAY            01.06.2010   02.06.2010 03.06.2010

Report should be
0CALDAY            1    2     3
P1 ACTUAL      10     8      4
P1 PLAN           15     6     2
