How To Pass Data Between A Main Report and a Subreport

Hello,
I'm working with Crystal Reports Professional XI.
I have a main report with two date parameters: BeginDate of Date type and EndDate of Data type. The main report has no details being printed instead it's grouped by a formula field and displays a summary count at the group footer. I have a subreport that is not linkable to the main report. The subreport is grouped differently. It has no detail records being printed and displays a summary count at the group footer as well. The two reports are using the same tables with the same linking relationship.
I created the same two date parameters in the subreport but this isn't right because when I run the report then I get four Date prompts: BeginDate and EndDate parameter from the main report and the BeginDate and EndDate parameter from the subreport.
I'm not dong something right here. What do I need to change in the reports so that l have the same record selecton being passed from the main report to the subreport record selection based on the BeginDate parameter and the End Date parameter from the main report? Right now, the subreport is selecting all the records in the tables specified.
Have a great day. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ting

Hi Jason,
   Thanks for replying to my posting. It's been awhile since I've worked on Crystal Reports so I'm getting reacquainted with sub-reports again.
    By linking the main report to the subreport by the BeginDate and BeginEnd parameters, will the date parameters be passed from the main report to the record selection for the subreport?
   Also by doing your approach when the user is prompted to run the report, will it display on the popup window four date parameters: the BeginDate and EndDate from the main report and underneath that the BeginDate and EndDate from the sub report? If so I'm trying to avoid that because it would be the same date range that I'm wanting to use for the main report and the subreport.
    I hope that made sense.
Thanks,
Ting

How to pass Multivalue parameters from main report to the subreport to a database stored procedure

I am having a Main Report, where the user selects the parameters, and calls the subreport which in turn calls the stored proc which updates the report parameters table, which will be used by all the other sub reports to filter data on.
It works fine when I pass single values from the Main report to the sub report, and it updates the database, but when I map the formula field to the subreport, the subreport does not even show up, and nothing happens on the database. I am thinking the subreport is not executing. I am using the 'Change Subreport Links' to map the formula fields to the subreport parameters.
Please let me know if there is any other work around or a sample report which solves a similar problem.

That is definitely a problem. CR 11.0 has been out of support for 5+ years(?). CR 11.5 has been out of support for close to 3 years.
As far as I am concerned, the suggestions given here are going for naught as presumably they are based on recent builds of CR (E.g.; CR 12.x or higher). I really doubt that Abhilash or Jamie remember if CR 11.0 had problems related to the issue at hand. But they do know that their suggestions work in current versions of CR.
Thus a suggestion; I suspect that you should be able to obtain an image from your IT where you can install CR 11.0 and update it to CR 11.5. Then use this as a proof of concept to the powers that be in your org that it is time to get with the times. BTW.; the most current version of CR is CR 2013, version 14.1.x(!). Again, something that your org should be aware of. So, even better than updating the image to CR 11.5, download the free 30 day eval of CR 2013 and try the suggestions in that version. The eval download is here:
SME Free Trials | SME Software | SAP
BTW.; CR 2013 is a side by side install, meaning that it will happily co-exist with your current CR 11.0 install.

How to pass data between two internal sessions using ABAP memory?

Hi,
How to pass data between two internal sessions using ABAP memory?
It would be fine if you could explain with an example.
And also let me clear about the data passing between two main sessions and two external sessions with specific examples.
Thanks.

Hi ,
check the example.
Reading Data Objects from Memory
To read data objects from ABAP memory into an ABAP program, use the following statement:
Syntax
IMPORT <f1> [TO <g 1>] <f 2> [TO <g 2>] ... FROM MEMORY ID <key>.
This statement reads the data objects specified in the list from a cluster in memory. If you do not use the TO <g i > option, the data object <f i > in memory is assigned to the data object in the program with the same name. If you do use the option, the data object <f i > is read from memory into the field <g i >. The name <key> identifies the cluster in memory. It may be up to 32 characters long.
You do not have to read all of the objects stored under a particular name <key>. You can restrict the number of objects by specifying their names. If the memory does not contain any objects under the name <key>, SY-SUBRC is set to 4. If, on the other hand, there is a data cluster in memory with the name <key>, SY-SUBRC is always 0, regardless of whether it contained the data object <f i >. If the cluster does not contain the data object <f i >, the target field remains unchanged.
In this statement, the system does not check whether the structure of the object in memory is compatible with the structure into which you are reading it. The data is transported bit by bit. If the structures are incompatible, the data in the target field may be incorrect.
PROGRAM SAPMZTS1.
DATA TEXT1(10) VALUE 'Exporting'.
DATA ITAB LIKE SBOOK OCCURS 10 WITH HEADER LINE.
DO 5 TIMES.
ITAB-BOOKID = 100 + SY-INDEX.
APPEND ITAB.
ENDDO.
EXPORT TEXT1
TEXT2 FROM 'Literal'
TO MEMORY ID 'text'.
EXPORT ITAB
TO MEMORY ID 'table'.
SUBMIT SAPMZTS2 AND RETURN.
SUBMIT SAPMZTS3.
The first part of this program is the same as the example in the section Saving Data Objects in Memory. In the example, the programs SAPMZTS1 and SAPMZTS2 are called using SUBMIT. You can create and maintain the programs called using the SUBMIT statement by double-clicking their names in the statement. For further information about the SUBMIT statement, refer to Calling Executable Programs (Reports)
Example for SAPMZTS2:
PROGRAM SAPMZTS2.
DATA: TEXT1(10),
TEXT3 LIKE TEXT1 VALUE 'Initial'.
IMPORT TEXT3 FROM MEMORY ID 'text'.
WRITE: / SY-SUBRC, TEXT3.
IMPORT TEXT2 TO TEXT1 FROM MEMORY ID 'text'.
WRITE: / SY-SUBRC, TEXT1.
Example for SAPMZTS3:
PROGRAM SAPMZTS3.
DATA JTAB LIKE SBOOK OCCURS 10 WITH HEADER LINE.
IMPORT ITAB TO JTAB FROM MEMORY ID 'table'.
LOOP AT JTAB.
WRITE / JTAB-BOOKID.
ENDLOOP.
The output is displayed on two successive screens. It looks like this:
and
The program SAPMZTS2 attempts to read a data object TEXT3 from the data cluster "text", which does not exist. TEXT3 therefore remains unchanged. The existing data object TEXT2 is placed in TEXT1. In both cases, SY-SUBRC is 0, since the cluster "text" contains data.
The program SAPMZTS3 reads the internal table ITAB from the cluster "table" into the internal table JTAB. Both tables have the same structure, namely that of the ABAP Dictionary table SBOOK.

Performace tuning: how to pass data between different batch job programs?

Hi everyone,
    now i have one problem about performance tuning using threading in SAP programs: split one big program into two programs - one is main program and the other is sub program. using batch jobs, we can submit multi jobs of sub program at the same time.
    does anybody know how to pass data between different batch jobs? I don't want to use temp files. can ABAP memory can implement this?
    thanks!

Wei,
Yes we can transfer the data by using
SAP Memory OR ABAP Memory.
Ex: V_count TYPE i.
V_count = 100.
LOOP AT itab.
IF v_count EQ 25.
Here For every batch job
EXPORT data TO MEMORY ID 'ABC'
   Function module
    JOB_OPEN
   JOB_SUBMIT
   JOB_CLOSE.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP .
IN your 2nd program.
INITIALIZATION.
IMPORT data FROM MEMORY IF 'ABC'.
FREE memory if .---When you free the memory you will get recent data.
Don't forget to reward if useful.

How to Reconcile Data Between SAP Source Systems and SAP NetWeaver BI

Hi,
I just read "How to Reconcile Data Between SAP Source Systems and SAP NetWeaver BI". While I'm waiting for more authorisation to r/3 to carry it out and test this functionality.
I'd like to ask a question to anyone who has implemented this type solution. On page 10 it talks about creating a view then setting up the datasource. The solution talks about runnig a query. I suspect when we run a query I would run it for only a period(using variable) to reconcile.
My question is this. Will the datasource extractor on /r3 only select the period in our variable or will it do a full selection of the data which would then be passed to BW for filtering?
Regards

DEar Mark,
There are several avenues where you can see and reconcile your data with source system, u can see data in by tcode RSA3 for a datasource, and compare the values with actual document posted into the R/3 system. Respective fuctional consultant canhelp you a lot to confirm the data.
On BW side u can see the data in PSA and then check tranformations which subsequent change/update/reject data records based on the selective conditions.
hope this helps.
Kindly assign the points if it works.
Revert back if u need futher help/information.

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 layout a subreport based on main report and another subreport!

Hello all,
I got an issue how to capture the value at a run time and loop through group in Crystal Report. My project is complicated (main report and sub report using stored procedure with parameters as datasource and a lot of formula fields pass between main report to sub report, but I try to explain it as simple scenario as following:
School 1
Main report layout: (Group by Class)
===============================================
Class A
Sub report: ( This result from the stored procedure at run time and only having two rows when running stored procedure)
Boy : 200
Girl : 150
================================================
Class B
Sub report
Boy: 50
Girl: 100
=================================================
Class C
Sub report
Boy: 259
Girl: 80
Please pay attention on the above layout what I am done on reports. My question is how to produce another report that used the previous values and having the following layout:
School Summary
Class | Boys | Girls | Student
A        |   200    | 150   |     350
B        |     50    | 100   |     150
C        |   260    |    80   |     340
Please give me some ideas how to solve above problem. I know that Crystal Report can use shared variables via formula fields. I am wondering whether or not how to capture the specific value at the run time? Is it posible to make it working in Crystal Report or I have to write a stored procedure in the backend??? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
When we look at your report lay out, for each class group you have boys and girls count which is coming from sub report.
I think you placed the sub report in the Class group and linked with Class. If that is the case you will get all information in the sub report itself.
In the sub report, create a running total with shared variables and bring this value to main report to display at the end of the report.
Eg: To get Class from sub report to main report :
Whileprintingrecords;
Shared stringvar class;
class:=classchar(13);
Place this formula in your sub report group and create one more formula
Whileprintingrecords;
Shared stringvar class;
class;
Place this formula in your main report report footer, this will bring your classes into main report. Follow the same process for boys and girls numbers.
Thanks,
Sastry

How to pass data between views using Flex for mobile?

Hi,
In my 1st view, I have set of images. Each image represents a product category. When I click on an image, it has to show my 2nd view which is a list. This should show all the products linked to this category.
I saw few examples where the 1st view is a list. Select an item in a list shows the details in the next view.
But what I need is, I need to know which image is clicked in my 1st view (ie) Home page. This id needs to be passed to my 2nd view to retrieve the data for the clicked image (clicked product category).
Can anyone help me in this?

Chellaa2011,
If I understand you correctly, you can pass data to the next view by passing the second parameter to the pushView method.
check out: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/spark/components/ViewNa vigator.html#pushView()
I've written similar apps in the past and found that a singleton class alleviates some of these issues. If you use a singleton to track currently selections all your views can access the same data without having to pass and return data from each other.
Hope this helps,
KLee

How to pass variable between CRM Fact sheet and BI web template

Hello,
I am looking for someone who has integrated a custom web template with the CRM fact sheet (I am on 2004s).
I have created a custom web application design template for displaying on the portal for a CRM factsheet (TPL_FACT_SHEET).
This template is based on a query which has a variable (CHOOSE_CUST, ready for input, input: optional type) on 0CUSTOMER char.
When the sales rep queries the CRM FactSheet on the portal- based on the 0CUSTOMER he is demanding the fact sheet for, the appropriate 0CUSTOMER value needs to be parsed to my custom web template and it should return him the report. The report is very simple with just sales for current and previous year by material group. There is a std template to do this but we are using cutom data providers and hence need to create this custom web template.
Thus far I have created a 'filter pane' in my web template but do not know how to link this with the CRM fact sheet or even how to link it to my query variable. Currently when my template is called from the factsheet (portal) it displays results for multiple customers without any filter!
Please advise how to proceed in linking the CRM fact sheet 0Customer number with my web template filter pane!
Full points for useful answers!
Thanks

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.
I already know how to show Main Report with this code sample:
oRptRun=createobject("CrystalRuntime.Application")
oRptView=this.Parent.oleRptViewer
oRptOpen=oRptRun.OpenReport('MyReport.rpt')
oRptView.ReportSource=oRptOpen
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:
oRptRun=createobject("CrystalRuntime.Application")
oRptView=this.Parent.oleRptViewer
oRptOpen=oRptRun.OpenReport('MyReport.rpt')
oRptSub1=oRptOpen.OpenSubreport('MySubReport_1')
oRptSub2=oRptOpen.OpenSubreport('MySubReport_2')
oRptView.ReportSource=oRptOpen
oRptView.ViewReport
Did I miss something because there was only view tab 'Preview' (Main Report) shown without view tab MySubReport_1 and MySubReport_2.
Thank you.

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 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.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

How to pass the value from Sub report to main report

I have un report(mainreport) within a subreport(subreport).
With reporting services, how to pass the value from Sub report to main report?
thanks

Hi Alebet,
With reporting services to pass values from sub report in to main report is not supported directly.
But there are some workarounds through which you can get this .
There are two ways to get this.
1- Put your sub report query into some table. i mean to say through the subreport query get some temporary table.
2- Using this temporary tables data write some Scala function in the data base.
3- Now in your main report query return this scala function as a column.
4- Extract the column value where ever you want in your main report which is getting calculated from the subreport query. so you will be getting the values returned from the subreport in the main report.
This will definitely work fine as i have done some report in this way.
Another way of doing is that
1- prepare another data set with the same query as in sub report in the data tab.
2- then refer this 2nd dataset in your main report .
But better way will be the top one.
Anyway please let me know if you get the solution.
Thanks
Mahasweta
