How to ignorenon-numeric parameter field value

Post Author: burhan.survery
CA Forum: General
I am passing a parameter to a subreport. While running the report, I get an error which says that the parameter field is a non-numeric value. I'm not sure why since, the parameter field should be passing a quantity. Is there a way for me to check if the parameter field is passing a non-numeric value and if so, ignore it so that the report continues.
thanks.

Strange! I would have imagined from the fact that it gave you the original "non-numeric" error that it must be passing a string (how can a number be non-numeric!), but that's clearly not the case. I'm stumped... What does Crystal identify the 'source' field as (do a 'browse data' or 'show field types')? I assume that the parameter datatype is the same as the source field?
What's your data source (SQL Server, DB2 etc...)? Is there a way you can validate everything is numeric outside of Crystal?

How to use a parameter field value as a substring in a "like" statement?

Hi all,
I'm trying to use a parameter field in a Record selection formula where the parameter field value would be a substring of the data stored in the field.
My parameter field (SlctResearcher) is constructed as follows:
Type: string
List of Values: static
Value Field: (Reports) RptAuthors
(in Value Options) Allow custom values?: True
{Reports.PubDate} in DateTime (2009, 04, 01, 00, 00, 00) to DateTime (2010, 03, 31, 23, 59, 59) and
{Reports.RptAuthors} like "*{?SlctResearcher}*"
When I hit F5 to generate the data, I get no results (and the parameter prompt field does not even come up...)
If I modify the formula to put a hard-coded string, like
"*Jones*"
after the 'like', I get results (all the reports where "Jones" is a substring in the RptAuthors string.) If I modify the formula to just use the parameter field without the quotes/stars like:
{Reports.PubDate} in DateTime (2009, 04, 01, 00, 00, 00) to DateTime (2010, 03, 31, 23, 59, 59) and
{Reports.RptAuthors} like {?SlctResearcher}
I do get the parameter prompt field, but still no results even if I put in a valid substring value (since it is not searching for a substring anymore...)
How can I do this?
Thanks,
Will

1st thing... Make a copy of your report before doing anything!!!
To use a SQL Command, you'll want to open the Database Expert and look at the Current Connections. Expand the data source and the 1st option you see is the Add Command option.
To find the SQL That CR is currently using, choose Database from the menu bar and select Show SQL Query...
You can copy this and paste it directly into the command window. (If you you can write your own SQL you don't need copy CR's, it's just an option.)
You'll also want to take not of any parameters that you have, you'll need to add them the the Parameter List of the command as well... be sure to spell them EXACTLY as they are in the design pane.
Anyway, once the SQL statement is in the Command window you'll be able to alter the WHERE clause to use the wild cards.
For future reference... What type of database are you reporting against???

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

<p><font face="Arial" size="2">How can i transfer a field value in the main report to its sub-report?</font></p><p><font face="Arial" size="2">Please eloberate with example if possible!</font></p><p><font face="Arial" size="2">Thanks...</font></p><p> </p>

<p>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.</p><p>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</p><p> </p>

How to Hide the Parameter field at run time....

Hi,
I have a parameter field which behaves differently depending on the User logged in.
It has the LOV coming from following SQL.
SELECT customer_name FROM Cust_mast;
If the user = 'INTERNAL' then the Where clause will be
WHERE cust_id in('DELL', 'SBC', 'BANK')
Else there will be no WHERE clause or the parameter field
should be hidden in the parameter form.
So my questions are:
1) How to hide the Parameter field during Run time?
OR OR OR
2) How to change the LOV select statement during Run time?
Thanks.
Ram.

Hi Ram,
Is there any way to play with the sql query SELECT using DECODE ?I'm not sure of this part, maybe someone else can suggest a way.
However, what you want can be done in 2 other ways:
1. Build 2 reports. Both reports will just be duplicates of each other, only difference being that the 'LoV where clause' will be different. Now you can fire the appropriate report in many ways. For example, if the customer is alreay logged inside your custom application, and therefore you already know whether the user is internal of external, you can design your button or link which launches the report to contain logic such that one of the 2 reports is fired depending on who the user is.
1. Use a JSP parameter form, not a paper parameter form In this case, just build an HTML parameter form in the web source of your report. Use Java logic to populate the LoV drop-down list. When you have to launch the final report, just launch the paper-layout of the report. For example (you will have to modify this):
<form action="http://machine:port/reports/rwservlet?report=ParamForm.jsp+..." name="First" method="post">
<select name="selected_customer" onChange="First.submit()" >
<option value="">Choose a Customer Name
<rw:foreach id="G_cust_id" src="G_cust_id">
<rw:getValue id="myCustId" src="CUSTOMER_ID"/>
<rw:getValue id="myCustName" src="CUSTOMER_NAME"/>
<option value="<%=myCustId%>"><%=myCustName%>
</rw:foreach>
</select>
</form>
In the code above, you will have to make sure that your report's data model defines 2 CUSTOMER_ID's (like CUSTOMER_ID_INT and CUSTOMER_ID_EXT). These 2 will be internal and external Cust ID's. Use Java logic to show one of them.

Parameter Field Value Elimination Based on Another Parameter

I'd like to make 3 grouping parameters with static values to produce 3 drop downs in the user prompt. The problem is, I'd like for the second drop down to eliminate the choice made from the first drop down and the third drop down to have been eliminated to only one choice. Is there a way to edit the parameter field values from the formula workshop?...Or maybe this would be better handled in the group selection formula area. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Can't be done unless you use one of the 3rd-party Crystal viewers listed at http://kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html
A simpler approach is to have a record selection formula that causes no records to be retrieved if 2 parameters have the same selected value. You can then unsuppress a text object telling the user their parameter selections can't be the same.

How to hide the Parameter field during Run time?

Hi,
How to hide the Parameter field during Run time?
I have a parameter field which behaves differently depending on the User logged in.
I am using reports 10G
For ex: I have 3 field created in JSP
CUSTOMER
PROVIDER
FROM DATE
END DATE
If the user = 'SUPER show all the parameter
CUSTOMER
PROVIDER
FROM DATE
END DATE
If the user is 'GATEKEEPER" Just show
PROVIDER
FROM DATE
END DATE
Can I do that?
Please help
Thanks.
KK

hi, i'm not familiar much with JSP. but i think workaround is to create two window one which have 4 fields and the other which have 3. if user is SUPER then call the first screen otherwise if user is GATEKEEPER then call the second screen.

How to get-set Hidden field value from JSP ?

Hii,
I am quite newbie about jsp and looking for some help..
I have several url links on my jsp page.
I when I click one of them, I want to reload my page with new request parameter(s) but also keep the older one(s) in hidden field(s)...
but I dont know how to set and get hidden field value "syntax" and I am not sure about where/when should I do this... at first I though that I can do it in "onClick" property of url..
Thanks..

Hy,
I have a problem just like that. I am trying to send the value of an subdomain is to another page to be able to modify an entry.
So in listsubdomains.jsp I have
<input type = "hidden" name = "subdomainid" value="<%=subdomains.SubdomainID%>"><%=subdomains[i].SubdomainID%>.
This shouls send the id of the subdomain.
I an sending this to modifysubdomain.jsp with <form name = "listsubdomains" method = "post" action = "modifysubdomain.jsp">
and there I retrieve the value like this:
Integer id = new Integer (request.getParameter("subdomainid"));
out.println(request.getParameter("subdomainid"));
My problem is that no matter what is the value I chose to modify it always sends the first value. If I another value manually it works, but just then.
Please give me some ideas.

Hi Malika.....
Try this simple query report in Crystal with Parameter as CardGroup....
Select T0.CardCode, T0.CardName From OCRD T0
Where T0.GroupCode='{?GroupCode@Select * from OCRG}'
Take above query in command window.
GroupCode@Select * from OCRG
Take above condition in parameter window and then try to run in SAP.
You can see how CFL gets generated and you get values of CardGroup......
The above is only example.......

Parameter Field Value returns "no records"

I am using Crystal 11 and am new to Crystal but not to other Reportwriters. I have a Crystal report that has 2 parameter fields, one is "Enter Date" that prompts for the start and end date, the other "Select Items" prompts for the supply Item Numbers to be included in the report. In the "Edit Parameter: Select Items:" edit/create parameter dialog, the Select Item parameter has "Allow Multiple values" and "Allow discrete values" set to true. The report runs fine and returns any items entered in the "Select Items" prompt that has usage during the start & end date. My problem is ... if the entered Item Number for the Select Items parameter returns no records, I cannot report that Item Number as having zero usage. I cannot find a way at the time of report running to identify and report the "not found" items. I would also like to report the Start and End Dates parameters requested, but cannot, the Enter Date parameter returns an empty parameter field across the whole report. I'm sure other users have had this problem of reporting the requested parameter values. Need assistance.

Jeff's answer is one way to do it. There are others:
If you want the items with no data interspersed with the other items (say, in item number order), then you'd change the report to use your item master table and do a left join from that to the usage data. If a field from the usage table is null, then there was no usage, and you can condition a message based on that.
Or, if your parameter selects item numbers without some type of "ALL" option, then you can use arrays to keep track of which if the selected items printed. Then in the report footer, compare the list of items reported to the parameter items, and show which item numbers had no usage. (This might run a tad faster than the separate subreport that Jeff suggested - but maybe not...)

How to set a payload field value only once for multiple instances selected?

The user needs to set a payload field value and then he can approve the task so the task can continue through the process, that's fine when the user selects one instance and sets the value in the task details section and then clicks the approve button, but how do we achieve the same behavior in a multiple way?, I mean the user can select multiple tasks in the workspace (in this case the details task page is not available and instead the following label appear "Multiple tasks selected") then if the user clicks the Actions drop down -> APPROVE he only gets the message "your request was processed successfully", so how can the user modify the payload field value only once for all the selected tasks so when he clicks APPROVE the value is populated in all the instances selected.
Thanks,
Carlos.

In the action which displays the edit page just set the form idx value before displaying the jsp.

Hi Shravanthi,
You would need to add the new language to table T002. Once this is done, it will appear in the drop down menus.

How to validate the incoming field value and raise an alert message

Dear all,
I have the following structure
If incoming value for the field externalid is empty then i have to raise a alert message to end user "externalid field is empty for the id : id number" and for all incoming values it should work. I used the following udf on field externalid with two arguments
if(externalid.equals(""))
throw new RuntimeException("externalid field empty for the following id : " +id);
else
return externalid;
This is working fine for single record. But for many records(multiple occurences), this logic is not working as if records 2 and 3 fails it is showing exception externalid field is empty for the id : record 2.
how to achieve the tranformation logic ?

If the value for externalid field is present in incoming record/payload, then it should be passed to target system.
How can i implement this logic ?

How to get readonly text field value in backing bean?

Below is my code in JSF.
<h:inputText id="prodLine" value="#{fbackingBean.value}" required="true" styleClass="readOnlyField" readonly="true"/>
This is a readonly field, and the value will been pass in by a pop up window. after the value had been passed in, i try to store the data which i had selected, but the value in readonly field (which show in above) return a null value.
May i noe how can i get the readonly field value in backing bean? thanks!

Why not keep track of the value in the backing bean? If it's a read only value set from a backing bean it should be simple to retrieve from a backing bean.
I'm new to JSF, but one thing that I have figured out is to try to put everything in the backing beans possible and to do as little as possible within the JFS web page components.
