How to Identify Main Report's Parameter

Since I don't need the subreport parameters, how can I identify main report's parameters only?
.ParameterFields

You can identify a main report parameter by checking the ParameterFieldDefinition.ReportName. It is blank if it is main report parameter. The same applies for the ParameterField.ReportName.

Resultset of main report passed as parameter to child report stored proc

Post Author: chicagolad
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I seem to be in a bind with this issue. I have a main report and sub report. The main report takes in a comma seperated value as a parameter to the stored procedure. The result set of which is used to group 20 sub reports. These subreports use a different stored procedure to which I need to send the group value which is a part of the result set table I get for the main report. Come what may, I am not able to link the main report with the sub report.
To repeat the question, how do i pass the a result column of the main report as parameter to the sub report stored procedure? Any insight will be much appreciated.
TIA
chicagolad

Raghavendra,
It seems that no matter what I do, using the parameter ?TagNumber as the item to link from in the main report (Subreport Links) will not give any results no matter which item I link to in the subreport, but if I use the specific data item that the parameter represents, then any of the choices in the lower left "subreport parameter field to use" will work. So I can simply use the specific data item and everything works fine. It's strange, as last week using the parameter of the main report worked, but as I have a working solution I don't have to resolve that. (There was data for the parameter value,as I printed the parameter value in the report and the selected value was shown.).
This is now resolved. Thanks for your help.

How to show all view tab (Main Report and all Sub Report) in Visual FoxPro 9

I use ActiveX from Crystal Report Developer XI for viewer in Visual FoxPro 9 and I already know how to show Main Report by using command:
oRptRun=createobject("CrystalRuntime.Application")
oRptView=thisform.oleRptViewer
oRptOpen=oRptRun.OpenReport('MyReport.rpt')
oRptView.ReportSource=oRptOpen
oRptView.ViewReport
Inside the MyReport.rpt there is two subreport name :
1. MySubReport1
2. MySubReport2
My Question is :
How to show all view tab (Main Report and all Sub Report) at the 1st time we call ViewReport?
I try to using command :
oRptRun=createobject("CrystalRuntime.Application")
oRptView=thisform.oleRptViewer
oRptOpen=oRptRun.OpenReport('MyReport.rpt')
oRptSub=oRptOpen.OpenSubreport("MySubReport1")
oRptSub=oRptOpen.OpenSubreport("MySubReport2")
oRptView.ReportSource=oRptOpen
oRptView.ViewReport
but only show Main Report (view tab name : Preview)?
Did I miss any command before I call oRptView.ViewReport?

Your right, there is only one tab to view the report.
To open the subreports you will need to click on them in the main report. I don't know of a way to open them programmatically like you are doing here

How to show view tab Main Report and all of Sub Report in one action through Visual FoxPro

How to show all view tab (Main Report and all of Sub Report) in one action.

oRptView.ViewReport
Inside the 'MyReport.rpt' it has 2 subreports:
1. MySubReport_1
2. MySubReport_2
I try to show MySubReport_1 and MySubReport_2 together with their own Main Report with this code sample:

Did I miss something because there was only view tab 'Preview' (Main Report) shown without view tab MySubReport_1 and MySubReport_2.
Thank you.

How to pass an integer parameter from main report to subreport?

I don't understand why this isn't working, but I have a main report with parameters:
StartDate=datetime,
EndDate=datetime,
Program=text,
ChartType=text.
In this RDL, I have a chart with Action configured on this bar chart series. The Action expression is:
="javascript:void(window.open('http://evolvssrs/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2fIncoming%2fCensus+Report+Modifier&rs:Command=Render&rc:Parameters=true&StartDate=" & Parameters!StartDate.Value & "&EndDate=" & Parameters!EndDate.Value & "&Program=" & Fields!program_info.Value & "&ChartType=" & Fields!ChartType.Value & "','_blank'))"
(program_info is a FIELD uniqueidentifier value matching the value of the Program parameter).
So for this subreport, I have tried ChartType parameter as both integer and text, but each time i click on a bar from the main report, it opens a new window with ChartType field empty. But the other 3 parameters: Start Date, End Date, and Program are
all populated. Why is it doing this and how can I fix please?
Ryan D

Hi Ryan,
If I understand correctly, you have got empty in the ChartType parameter text box when you enable go to URL action.
In my test, if the value we pass to the subreport which is not include in the parameter available values, we would get the empty text box. Please check if it has the specific ChartType values in the subreport parameter available values.
Alternatively, please check if it has pass value to the subreport. We can add a parameter without available values and default values to check if it is can accept the Field ChartType Value from the main report.
Hope this helps.

How to make a common parameter for two subreports in the main report.

Hi,
I have a crystal report which has 2 subreports in it. Both the subreports have the same code and I need to create a parameter for Project Cost in both the subreports for filtering the data.
When i create the same parameter in both the subreports, i see two parameters with same name on my prompt page while refreshing the report. however I just want 1 parameter on my prompt page and data should get filtered in both the reports.
Can anyone please suggest something, How can I do that? is there a way for sharing same parameter between two subreports?
Thanks!
Neha.

hi Neha,
here's how to do this:
1) create a new parameter with the same name on the main report
2) right click on your first subreport and choose Change Subreport Links
3) in the Field to Link To list drag over your new main report parameter
4) open the Subreport Parameter Field to Use select menu and choose your subreport parameter
5) repeat steps for the 2nd subreport
now you'll only get prompted once.
cheers,
jamie

How to use the region parameter of main report for subreport chart titles?

I am using Crystal Reports 11.
I create 1 main report with 10 sub-reports that contain cross-tabs & charts. The main report has a parameter regarding 3 different areas: region1, region2, and region3.
I use the method of adding the u2018regionu2019 parameter of main report to the selection formula of the sub-reports. So, I can select 'region' from main report to controll outputs in sub-reports by region.
I use formulas for chart titles, e.g.:
Select {Product Code}
Case 'a111':
u2018Region1 u2013 a111 Counts'
Case u2018b222u2019:
u2018Region1 u2013 b222 Counts'
u2026
u2026
Default:
u2026
Since I pass the u2018regionu2019 parameter of main report to sub-reports, I have to change chart titles dynamically based on the region I select.
How can I use the region parameter from main report in the formulas to get chart titles dynamically?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you.
I am not using Chart Title with "Chart Expert".
I am using a formula for chart titles, e.g.:
Select {Product Code}
Case 'a111':
u2018Region1 u2013 a111 Counts'
Case u2018b222u2019:
u2018Region1 u2013 b222 Counts'
u2026
u2026
Default:
u2026
I drag this formula above the charts and it looks like a dynamic title. So, for product a111, the chart title would be "Region1 u2013 a111 Counts"; for product b222, the chart title would be "Region1 u2013 b222" Counts; and so on ...
Because I pass the region parameter from master report to subreport, I want to change the region part of the chart titles dynamically.
For example,
when select Region1, the chart titles should be: "Region1 u2013 a111 Counts"; "Region1 u2013 b222"; ...
when select Region2, the chart titles should be: "Region2 u2013 a111 Counts"; "Region2 u2013 b222"; ...
I want to add the region parameter into the tiltle formula.
How should I do?

Hi
Crystal Report version : 11.0.0.1282 Standard
There is MainReport1. Other is Subreport1
Scenario :
MainReport1 having paramater PdateMain1 as dateTime.
SubReport1 having parameter dateSub1 ,dateSub2.
datesub1 is used for One datasource1 (DataSource- XML -from webApplication) , dateSub2 is used for datasource2 (DataSource-SQl Procedure ) ( This is requirement as i need to used two datasource )
Value of datesub1 and datesub1 is same (it is created automatical as it is part of SQLProcedure and XML Query ) but get prompted twice for the same valuewhich is not desirable. so for that i have created main report and calling this subreport in main report.
Now i want's to pass PdataMain1 to Parameter datesub1 and datesub2. I am able to pass PdataMain1 to datesub1. through Change Sub report link ( Option on right click of report).and it is working fine,
Problem :
But Subreport link Menu does not allow to bind PdateMain1 to datesub2 as it is allready bind with datasub2.
to overcome this i created one Formula field in main report as fMaindate1 which copy date from Parameter PdateMain1.and bind ( link) the fMaindate1 to datesub2. when i link this , subreport does not display any thing at all. It it a limitation of crystal report or i am missing some thing , Is it like that we can pass formula of ,main report to subreport Paramater in Crystal 11 Standard , if we can anyone please Provide help on this.
This can be easily achieve through application programming but my need to get this done in Report itself.Thanks

How can I have Main report with a sub-report with in a sub-report??

I have a main report that has about 5 subreports, almost like a dashboard. I need to make one of those subreports contain another subreport.
I don't have the option to add a sub-report with in my sub-report, so what I thought would work is remove my sub-report from my main report, then add my new sub-report, then add that report back to my main report.
Everytime I add the sub-report that has a sub-report to my main report I lose the second sub.
From what I've read on the internet is you can't have a sub-report contain another sub-report. What some say is you can hyperlink that second sub report.
When I setup my hyper link to open the second sub-report I'm prompted to re-enter my report parameters.
Can some help me link a sub-report to a sub-report or show me how to pass a date range parameter in my hyper link so the reports just opens up?
I'm using CR IX R2
Thanks

Nate,
You are dealing with a product limitation. Crystal cannot have nested subreports within a sub report.
You can generally use shared variables between sub reports to achieve your desired result

How to activate a different sub-report for each row in the data set as main report page breaks on each row of data in the main dataset

I am going to try asking this same question a different way as I have yet to find a working solution to my problem. I have a main report and then 8 sub reports. My main report has one data set and returns one row of data per account number. One
of the fields in the main data set is called AccountProf. My main report displays one page per Account number and then calls a different sub report based on that account's AccountProf value. The sub reports take in the account number as a parameter
and get multiple rows of data to display that accounts usage formatted differntly for each AccountProf (hence the 8 different sub report.
So far I can figure out how to do everything but setting the visibility property of each sub-reports when I have multiple accounts. If I use the following expression for the visibility property on each sub report, it makes all the applicable sub report
for all the accounts requested visible at once:
=IIF(Fields!AccountProf.Value= "USE_PLUS_DMD",False,True)
*The value in bold USE_PLUS_DMD is different for each sub report.
Here is a look at what the main report look like:
Here is the main reports data set:

Hi JasonDWilson77,
According to your description, there is a main report and 8 sub reports in the report, you want to set visibility of sub reports, if no value is passed to the parameter of sub report, the sub report will not be displayed. If that is the case, please refer
to the following steps:
1. Create a new parameter named NewAccountNumber, set its data type the same as @AccountNumber, select Allow multiple values, set Visibility to be hidden, then set all available values to default values.
2. Right-click the first sub report and open Subreport Properties dialog box, click Parameters in left pane, set name to AccountNumber, then click (fx) button, type the expression like below:
=Parameters! NewAccountNumber(0)
3. Click Visibility in left pane, select Show or hide based on an expression, then click (fx) button and type the expression like below:
=IIF(InStr(Join(Parameters! AccountNumber.Value), Parameters!NewAccountNumber.Value(0))>0 , false,true)
4. Modify parameter of other sub reports like step2.
5. Set visibility of other sub reports like step3.

How can i transfer a field value in the main report to its sub-report?

How can i transfer a field value in the main report to its sub-report?Please eloberate with example if possible!Thanks... 

You can do a couple of things - one would be to pass the information using the data linking expert. Right click on the subreport, choose 'Change Subreport Links' and select the field(s) you are wanting to pass to the subreport. CRW will build parameters and a record selection formula for you in the subreport, and if that's what you want, then great. But you can also remove the selection formula from the subreport and work with the parameter fields in the subreport however you would like.Alternatively, you can look to passing Shared variables back and forth from the main and subreport. this link talks about the method to do this: http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/251

Passing Parameter from Main report to SQL command-based subreport

I am trying to cut down the run time of my reports and have recently figured out how to write SQL commands to limit the data by filtering prior to being pulled into the reports. However, many of my reports rely on multiple sub reports, which can cause a dramatic 'drag' on the report.
I am trying to filter the SQL command used in my sub report by passing the group parameter, which is selected by the user in the main report, to the sub report's SQL command. Without this parameter, the sub report has to sort through a lot more data than it would with this parameter, making the run time extremely slow.
Any suggestions on how I can accomplish this?
Thanks for any help you can provide,

Hi Marlene,
I don't believe you can pass a CR parameter to a Command object.
I suggest replacing all of the Command Objects with a Stored Procedure so all of the data filtering is done server side. DB servers are much more proficient at collecting the data and filtering than CR will ever be. It will also allow you to replace subreports to also speed up your report processing. All depends on your layout of course but something to look at.
Thank you

Pass parameter from main report to sub report?

Post Author: nomore
CA Forum: General
I have a report which is comparing turnover from present year to previous year.Im trying to make it dynamic - so i have added a parameter to the main report to allow user to enter a year, however I cannot work out how to pass this to the sub report so select records based on this. I have passed the data thruogh a fomula ok (WhilePrintingRecords; Shared NumberVar shYear;) and that is working spot on.Now i just need to enter that number as a record select paremeter. Also if I try to perform a summary on this field (it never changes, but its just a test) - the 'Insert Summary' option is unavailable, and it doesnt show up as a formula in formula editor.

I have CR XI, you want to edit your subreport links, right click the sub, select Change subreport links, you should be able to select your field, and see your parameter listed. Once you set up the link the sub will run based on whatever link you picked.
