How to insert multiple values from a single LOV box...?(cont)

Hi..I have a medical form and under the conclusions box, I have set up a LOV with various values. That part works fine.
The thing is I do not want to pick a single value. The format which I write in the conclusions in that box is
1. "............"
2. " "
3...etc...
But when I go to choose the 2nd value, it replaces the first one I had inserted. Any tips please??

"My way", should have done exactly that. Every time you open the lov and choose a value it should be aapended to the already existing value in the textfield (assuming taht the length of the textfield is long enough)."
-Well thats the thing, If I try to add more than one value into ONE text field when I open up the LOV..it just replaces the first value with teh second value. Right now wihtout the LOV this is the format it gets stored into the database. The conclusions are typed in manually and when i query from sql plus it comes the way I typed it in. For example:
1. Mild concentric LVH
2. Normal LV systolic function ; EF 75 %
3. Diastolic dysfunction
I just copy/pasted that from sql. This is saved in a column in a table named ProcedureSummary. I want to insert values exactly this way into one field. Except when i do that currently with the LOV, it replaces the old value with a new value.
I hope i make sense, sorry for the bother!

    Let's say for example user have to the use the form to enter all 10 items or few like 5 on their stock form into 4 different textbox field each lines of your form, however these items go into a "Stock_table" under Single insert transaction query when submit button is pressed.
    Please anyone help me out, on how to get this concept started.

    Hello,
    I have a way to do this, but it would take some hand coding on your part. If you feel comfortable hand writing php code and doing manual database calls, specificaly database INSERT calls you should be fine.
    Create a custom form using the ADDT Custom Form Wizard that has all the rows and fields you need. This may take a bit if you are adding the ability for up to 20 rows, as per your diagram of the form area. The nice thing about using ADDT to create the form is that you can setup the form validation at the same time. Leave the last step in the Custom Form Wizard blank. You can add a custom database call here, but I would leave it blank.
    Next, under ADDT's Forms Server Behaviors, select Custom Trigger. At the Basic tab, you enter your custom php code that will be executed. Here you are going to want to put your code that will check if a value has been entered in the form and then do a database INSERT operation on the Stock_table with that row. The advanced tab lets you set the order of operations and the name of the Custom Trigger. By default, it is set to AFTER. This means that the Custom Trigger will get executed AFTER the form data is processed by the Custom Form Transaction.
    I usually just enter TEST into the "Basic" tab of the Custom Trigger. Then set my order of operations in the "Advanced" tab and close the Custom Trigger. Then I go to the code view for that page in Dreamweaver and find the Custom Trigger function and edit the code manually. It's much easier this way because the Custom Trigger wizard does not show you formatting on the code, and you don't have to keep opening the Wizard to edit and test your code.
    Your going to have to have the Custom Trigger fuction do a test on the submitted form data. If data is present, then INSERT into database. Here's a basic example of what you need to do:
    In your code view, the Custom Trigger will look something like this:
    function Trigger_Custom(&$tNG) {
    if($tNG->getColumnValue("Item_1")) {
    $item1 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Item_1");
    $textbox1_1 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_1");
    $textbox1_2 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_2");
    $textbox1_3 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_3");
    $date1 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_3");
    $queryAdd = "INSERT INTO Stock_table
    (item, Qty_In, Qty_Out, Balance, Date) VALUES($item1, $textbox1_1, $textbox1_2, $textbox1_3, $date1)"
    $result = mysql_query($queryAdd) or die(mysql_error());
    This code checks to see if the form input field named Item_1 is set. If so, then get the rest of the values for the first item and insert them into the database. You would need to do this for each row in your form. So the if you let the customer add 20 rows, you would need to check 20 times to see if the data is there or write the code so that it stops once it encounters an empty Item field. To exit a Custom Trigger, you can return NULL; and it will jump out of the function. You can also throw custom error message out of triggers, but this post is already way to long to get into that.
    $tNG->getColumnValue("Item_1") is used to retrieve the value that was set by the form input field named Item_1. This field is named by the Custom Form Wizard when you create your form. You can see what all the input filed names are by looking in the code view for something like:
    // Add columns
    $customTransaction->addColumn("Item_1", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "Item_1");
    There will be one for each field you created with the Custom Form Wizard.
    Unfortunately, I don't have an easy way to do what you need. Maybe there is a way, but since none of the experts have responded, I thought I would point you in a direction. You should read all you can about Custom Triggers in the ADDT documentation/help pdf to give you more detailed information about how Custom Triggers work.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to select multiple values from the parameters in BI Publisher report

    How to select multiple values from the parameter drop down in BI Publisher, and how to handle this mulitple values from the report sql...

    Hi kishore,
    I have used all the steps as you mentioned in your previous reply....including checking Mulitple Selection Check Box..
    Iam able to get the results when I am selecting one value..
    and also I am able to handle multiple values the in the query by using IN :Parameter, but seems when we select more than one value from the parameter drop down i think the Bi Publisher is sending the values in concatenated form something ilke
    ex: "'ACCOUNT','HR','SALES'" ,and when trying to display the parameters values in the output, its throwing the error as 'missing right paranthesis' ....on the whole do you have any solution which would handle
    1.Single selection.
    2.Multiple selection.
    3.'ALL' Values.
    4.Separating the concatenated string into individual strings and dispaly them on the output of the report..etc..in case of Mulitple selection.
    Ex:
    Concatenated String from BI Publisher:"'ACCOUNT','HR','SALES'"
    Expected Output on the report:ACCOUNT,HR,SALES
    reply to this would be much appreciated....
    thanks,

  • How to select multiple values from the Parameters in the concurrent program

    How to select multiple values from the Parameters defined in the concurrent program...and i believe multiple selection is not a direct feature of EBS, but is there any workaround solution to acheive mulitple selection?

    I think there's no way to do that using standard feature.
    Some workaround I use :
    1. If the number of selections are fixed, you could use multiple parameters for the same valueset. For example :
    Selection1 : <choose first selection>
    Selection2: <choose 2nd selection>
    ..etc.
    If you don't use it then leave it empty.
    2. Use text varchar valueset and enter it manually and separate by comma (or other value) , eg : selection1,selection2,selection3....etc.

  • How to insert a value from sequence in Bussiness Components?

    How to insert a value from sequence in Bussiness Components?
    I would like to do it, but without a triger that would do it before insert.
    I know that there is a type DBSequence in BC where you can insert a sequence name but it does not work when I type there my sequence name.
    Do you now how to fix that problem?
    Bart.

    The newer way to do it is to make the type DBSequence and enter the name of the Sequence object in the sequence field. It must match the same name of the sequence object in the database. Next, you have to create a before insert for each row trigger on the table. Basically, something like this:
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TGB_THEME_SEQ
    BEFORE INSERT ON THEME
    FOR EACH ROW
    DECLARE
    BEGIN
    -- Assign the id from the sequence if null
         IF( :new.theme_id IS NULL ) THEN
              SELECT THEME_ID_SEQ.nextval
              INTO :new.theme_id
              FROM dual;
         END IF;
    END;
    In the above example, THEME_ID_SEQ is the seuence object name in the database. If you have the name right but it still fails, then the user you are logging in as probably doesn't have access to the sequence in the database.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to pass multiple values to a single parameter in BW report URL

    Hi Experts,
    I am new to EP and learning .... i am stuck at one point where we need to pass multiple parameters to a BW report URL, this is the URL that we launch from BSP.... Suppose i have to pass different multiple values to a single parameter, how to do it....
    i m getting many answers to pass parameters to iviews, reports, but not specific to my case.. can u plz help me....
    Thanks in advance
    Priya Rai

    What is the prolem you are facing if you split the single date param as two parameters say startdate and enddate?
    If you pass as single string then you might have to split the same at reciever end.
    Are you trying any thing specific?

  • How to allow multiple values in a single blank cell in WebI report

    Hi
             I am working in BO XIR2. I have a scenario as follows.
    In a single cell (blank cell from template) i need to display multiple contact persons. When I drag the contact person name into the blank cell, I am getting an error: MULTIVALUE). Please let me know how to use a function so that I can show two or three contact person names in a single blank cell.
    I tried to use Replace and Char function as follows to bring Carriage Return functionality to the cell.
    Replace([Contact Person]; ";" ; Char(13)) but this did not work.
    Thanks in Advance.

    BOUser11:
    I know this thread has been answered. I recently came across a scenario where I happen to populate multiple values in a single blank cell(from templates). But the only catch being that if user enters multiple values for a prompt you can show them in a single cell eg: =UserResponse("Enter value(s) for Branch:"). would be the formula for the blank cell. Afetr the user selects three values say A, B,C, webi puts it in the format of A;B;C. in a single cell.
    In your case try giving that as a prompt to the user or answer that multi prompt some how and when u use the above formula it should suffice your requirement.
    Let me know if you have tried.
    Thanks,

  • How to get multiple values from the list

    I've a list of an item which I queried it from the database. I also created a button that will takes a selected items from the list when it was clicked. I used javabean to get the data from database.
    <%     // clicked on Select District Button
    Vector vselectedDistrict = new Vector();
    Vector vdistrictID = new Vector();
    String tmpSelectDistrict = "";
    tmpSelectDistrict = request.getParameter("bSelectDistrict");
    if(tmpSelectDistrict != null)
         // get multiple values from the list
         String[] selectedDistrict = request.getParameterValues("usrTDistrict");
         vselectedDistrict.clear();
         vdistrictID.clear();
         if((selectedDistrict != null) && (selectedDistrict.length != 0))
                             for(int i=0;i<selectedDistrict.length;i++)
                   vselectedDistrict.addElement(selectedDistrict);           
              vdistrictID = dbaseInfo.getcurrentDistrictID(nstate,vselectedDistrict);
              for(int i=0;i<vdistrictID.size();i++)
                   out.println("district = " + selectedDistrict[i]);                         out.println("district ID= " + vdistrictID.get(i).toString());
    %>
    // get vdistrict from the database here......
    <select name="usrTDistrict" size="5" multiple>
    <%     for(int i = 0; i< vdistrict.size(); i++)
    %>
         <option value="<%=vdistrict.get(i).toString()%>"><%=vdistrict.get(i).toString()%></option>
    <%
    %>          
    </select>
    <input type="submit" name="bSelectDistrict" value="Select District">
    Lets say the item that i selected from the list is 'Xplace' and I clicked on the Select District button,
    what I got is this error message:
    org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to convert string 'Xplace' to class java.util.Vector for attribute usrTDistrict: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Property Editor not registered with the PropertyEditorManager
    So where is going wrong and what the message means?. Any help very much appreciated. Thanks

    These are just guesses that might hopefully steer you in directions you haven't looked in yet.
    I presume you used triangle brackets (< >) to avoid having the Jive Forum think it was the "italics" tag?
    Are you certain this: dbaseInfo.getcurrentDistrictID(nstate,vselectedDistrict);
    expects a Vector as its second parameter? And returns a Vector?
    I don't believe you've shown how you use the javabean, or its code? Perhaps it should be rewritten to accept an array of strings instead of a Vector?

  • [UIX] How To: Return multiple values from a LOV

    Hi gang
    I've been receiving a number of queries via email on how to return multiple items from a LOV using UIX thanks to earlier posts of mine on OTN. I'm unfortunately aware my previous posts on this are not that clear thanks to the nature of the forums Q&A type approach. So I thought I'd write one clear post, and then direct any queries to it from now on to save me time.
    Following is my solution to this problem. Please note it's just one method of many in skinning a cat. It's my understanding via chatting to Oracle employees that LOVs are to be changed in a future release of JDeveloper to be more like Oracle Forms LOVs, so my skinning skills may be rather bloody & crude very soon (already?).
    I'll base my example on the hr schema supplied with the standard RDBMS install.
    Say we have an UIX input-form screen to modify an employees record. The employees record has a department_id field and a fk to the departments table. Our requirement is to build a LOV for the department_id field such that we can link the employees record to any department_id in the database. In turn we want the department_name shown on the employees input form, so this must be returned via the LOV too.
    To meet this requirement follow these steps:
    1) In your ADF BC model project, create 2 EOs for employees and departments.
    2) Also in your model, create 2 VOs for the same EOs.
    3) Open your employees VO and create a new attribute DepartmentName. Check “selected in query”. In expressions type “(SELECT dept.department_name FROM departments dept WHERE dept.department_id = employees.department_id)”. Check Updateable “always”.
    4) Create a new empty UIX page in your ViewController project called editEmployees.uix.
    5) From the data control palette, drag and drop EmployeesView1 as an input-form. Notice that the new field DepartmentName is also included in the input-form.
    6) As the DepartmentName will be populated either from querying existing employees records, or via the LOV, disable the field as the user should not have the ability to edit it.
    7) Select the DepartmentId field and delete it. In the UI Model window delete the DepartmentId binding.
    8) From the data controls palette, drag and drop the DepartmentId field as a messageLovInput onto your page. Note in your application navigator a new UIX page lovWindow0.uix (or similar) has been created for you.
    9) While the lovWindow0.uix is still in italics (before you save it), rename the file to departmentsLov.uix.
    10) Back in your editEmployees.uix page, your messageLovInput source will look like the following:
    <messageLovInput
        model="${bindings.DepartmentId}"
        id="${bindings.DepartmentId.path}"
        destination="lovWindow0.uix"/>Change it to be:
    <messageLovInput
        model="${bindings.DepartmentId}"
        id="DepartmentId"
        destination="departmentsLov.uix"
        partialRenderMode="multiple"
        partialTargets="_uixState DepartmentName"/>11) Also change your DepartmentName source to look like the following:
    <messageTextInput
        id=”DepartmentName”
        model="${bindings.DepartmentName}"
        columns="10"
        disabled="true"/>12) Open your departmentsLov.uix page.
    13) In the data control palette, drag and drop the DepartmentId field of the DepartmentView1 as a LovTable into the Results area on your page.
    14) Notice in the UI Model window that the 3 binding controls have been created for you, an iterator, a range and a binding for DepartmentId.
    15) Right click on the DepartmentsLovUIModel node in the UI Model window, then create binding, display, and finally attribute. The attribute binding editor will pop up. In the select-an-iterator drop down select the DepartmentsView1Iterator. Now select DepartmentName in the attribute list and then the ok button.
    16) Note in the UI Model you now have a new binding called DCDefaultControl. Select this, and in the property palette change the Id to DepartmentName.
    17) View the LOV page’s source, and change the lovUpdate event as follows:
    <event name="lovSelect">
        <compound>
            <set value="${bindings.DepartmentId.inputValue}" target="${sessionScope}" property="MyAppDepartmentId" />
            <set value="${bindings.DepartmentName.inputValue}" target="${sessionScope}" property="MyAppDepartmentName" />
        </compound>
    </event>18) Return to editEmployees.uix source, and modify the lovUpdate event to look as follows:
    <event name="lovUpdate">
        <compound>
            <set value="${sessionScope.MyAppDepartmentId}" target="${bindings.DepartmentId}" property="inputValue"/>
            <set value="${sessionScope.MyAppDepartmentName}" target="${bindings.DepartmentName}" property="inputValue"/>     
        </compound>
    </event>That’s it. Now when you select a value in your LOV, it will return 2 (multiple!) values.
    A couple things to note:
    1) In the messageLovInput id field we don’t use the “.path” notation. This is mechanism for returning 1 value from the LOV and is useless for us.
    2) Again in the messageLovInput we supply “_uixState” as an entry in the partialTargets.
    3) We are relying on partial-page-refresh functionality to update multiple items on the screen.
    I’m not going to take the time out to explain these 3 points, but it’s worthwhile you learning more about them, especially the last 2, as a separate exercise.
    One other useful thing to do is, in your messageLovInput, include as a last entry in the partialTargets list “MessageBox”. In turn locate the messageBox control on your page (if any), and supply an id=”MessageBox”. This will allow the LOV to place any errors raised in the MessageBox and show them to the user.
    I hope this works for you :)
    Cheers,
    CM.

    Thanks Chris,
    It took me some time to find the information I needed, how to use return multiple values from a LOV popup window, then I found your post and all problems were solved. Its working perfectly, well, almost perfectly.
    Im always fighting with ADF-UIX, it never does the thing that I expect it to do, I guess its because I have a hard time letting go of the total control you have as a developer and let the framework take care of a few things.
    Anyway, I'm using your example to fill 5 fields at once, one of the fields being a messageChoice (a list with countries) with a LOV to a lookup table (id , country).
    I return the countryId from the popup LOV window, that works great, but it doesn't set the correct value in my messageChoice . I think its because its using the CountryId for the listbox index.
    So how can I select the correct value inside my messageChoice? Come to think of it, I dont realy think its LOV related...
    Can someone help me out out here?
    Kind regards

  • How to return multiple values from dialog popup

    hi all
    I'm using ADF 10g. I have a requirement that I have to return multiple values from a dialog.
    I have a page containing a table with a button which calls the dialog. The dialog contains a multi-select table where i want to select multiple records and add them to the table in the calling page.
    In the backing bean of the calling page, I have the returnListener method.
    I am thinking that I have to store the selected rows from dialog in an array and return that array to the returnListener...but I don't know how to go about it with the code.

    Hi Frank,
    I'm trying to implement your suggestion but getting comfused.
    AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().returnFromDialog(null, hashMap) is called in ActionListener method, from what I understood.
    ReturnListener method already calls it, so no need to call explicitly.
    Okay here's what i'm doing.
    command button launches the dialog on the calling page.
    In the dialog page, there is a button "select", which when i click, closes the dialog and returns to calling page. I put a af:returnActionListener on this button, which logically should have a corresponding ReturnListener() in the calling page backing bean.
    Now I have 3 questions:
    1. do i have to use ActionListener or ReturnListener?
    2. where do I create the hashMap? Is it in the backing bean of the dialog or in the one of calling page?
    3. how do I retrieve the keys n values from hashmap?
    please help! thanks
    This is found in the backing bean of calling page:

  • Multiple values from a single function to be used SQL

    I have some pl/sql code that calculates multiple values in the same procedure (multiple out parameters).
    Now I want to use these separate values in an SQL select.
    One way to do it, is creating functions for each separate value.
    Performance wise, I don't want to do so.
    I created an object type with 9 number values.
    A function returns the object type and I select it in a subquery.
    The outer query then selects 3 different values from the object in the subquery.
    Unfortunately, a query with 3 rows still results in the function being called 9 times (3 row x 3 values).
    Is there a way to force the object function being called just once per row ?
    Or is there an alternative way?
    I've tried pipelined functions but then I have trouble with the input values for the function that should be taken from another select.
    result will be a view with a key value and the calculated values
    SELECT key_value, calculated_value1, calculated_value2, calculated_value3
    FROM SOME_TABLE

    DROP TABLE TBL
    CREATE TABLE TBL(
    ID NUMBER(10),
    CODE VARCHAR2(20),
    PARENT NUMBER(10)
    INSERT INTO TBL VALUES(1,'A',1);
    INSERT INTO TBL VALUES(2,'B',1);
    INSERT INTO TBL VALUES(3,'C',1);
    INSERT INTO TBL VALUES(4,'D',2);
    INSERT INTO TBL VALUES(5,'E',2);
    INSERT INTO TBL VALUES(6,'F',2);
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE pck_test IS
    TYPE t_rec IS RECORD(
    value1 NUMBER,
    value2 NUMBER,
    value3 NUMBER);
    TYPE t_tab IS TABLE OF pck_test.t_rec;
    FUNCTION calculate(i_id NUMBER) RETURN pck_test.t_tab
    PIPELINED;
    END pck_test;
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY pck_test IS
    FUNCTION calculate(i_id NUMBER) RETURN pck_test.t_tab
    PIPELINED IS
    v_return t_rec;
    BEGIN
    v_return.value1 := 1 * i_id;
    v_return.value2 := 2 * i_id;
    v_return.value3 := 3 * i_id;
    PIPE ROW(v_return);
    RETURN;
    END;
    END pck_test;
    now I can use the pipelined function:
    SELECT 1 id, x.value1, x.value2, x.value3
    FROM TABLE(pck_test.calculate(1)) x
    id is hard-coded in this select with value 1
    I want to use TBL.id as the argument for the calculate function.
    I don't know how. I tried this...
    SELECT parent, ID, multi_values.value1, multi_values.value2, multi_values.value3
    FROM (
    SELECT ID, TABLE(pck_test.calculate(ID)) multi_values
    FROM TBL)
    Then the SELECT will be stored as a view.
    In an application, the view will be queried:
    select value1, value2, value3
    from view
    where parent = :parameter
