How to pass parameters to a SQL query or Data template

Hi,
The requirement is that my final report will take 'date' as input from the user and print only those records which have date later than the user-supplied 'date'. ('Date' is a field in the database).
I know the way to achieve this is to use user-defined parameters.
I have read the user guide, and have created user parameters. From the user guide: "The Report Editor allows you to deﬁne your query, deﬁne
the parameters that you want users to pass to the query,..."
However there is no example given. (I could not find).
Any guidance?

Are you using Enterprise Server environment ? If so, you can find a sample report in the Shared Folders under HR Manager - Employee Salary Report. Please revert if you still have confusion.

How to pass a result of SQL query to shell script variable

Hi all,
I am trying to pass the result of a simple SQL query that only returns a single row into the shell script variable ( This particular SQL is being executed from inside the same shell script).
I want to use this value of the variable again in the same shell scirpt by opening another SQL plus session.
I just want to have some values before hand so that I dont have to do multiple joins in the actual SQL to process data.

Here an example :

Passing parameters to PL/SQL table types

Hi Everybody,
I have one question about passing PL/SQL tables types and tabs as IN parameter in procedure.I am working in 11.2.0.2.0 environment. I am stuck on how to pass those values to procedure.Please find below more details:
Table 1:
CREATE TABLE ITEMS
ITEM_ID VARCHAR2(40 BYTE) NOT NULL,
ITEM_NAME VARCHAR2(40 BYTE),
SERIAL NUMBER(2),
ADDED_ON DATE);
Table 2:
CREATE TABLE ITEM_ACTIVITY_INFO
ITEM_ID VARCHAR2(40 BYTE) NOT NULL,
ACCOUNT_TYPE VARCHAR2(1 BYTE),
ID_NUMBER NUMBER(3),
ACTIVATION_DATE DATE);
Table 3:
CREATE TABLE ITEM_GROUP
GROUP_ID NUMBER(2) NOT NULL,
ITEM_ID VARCHAR2(40 BYTE),
GROUP_TYPE VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
GROUP_DATE DATE);
Table 4:
CREATE TABLE ITEM_ADDRESS
GROUP_ID NUMBER(2) NOT NULL,
NAME VARCHAR2(60 BYTE),
ADDRESS VARCHAR2(100));
Following types are created:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE ITEMS_TYPE AS OBJECT
ITEM_ID VARCHAR2(40 BYTE),
ITEM_NAME VARCHAR2(40 BYTE),
SERIAL NUMBER(2),
ADDED_ON DATE);
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE ITEM_ACTIVITY_TYPE AS OBJECT
ITEM_ID VARCHAR2(40 BYTE),

ITEM_IN IN ITEMS_TYPE,
ITEM_ACTIVITY_IN IN ITEM_ACTIVITY_TYPE,
ITEM_GROUP_IN IN ITEM_GROUP_COMP_TAB,
ITEM_OUT IN OUT ITEMS.ITEM_ID%TYPE);
Above are the paramteres we are passing to procedure.
I need help in how to pass parameters to above procedure. All comments and responses will be highly appreciated. Thanks everyone for going through the post. Please let me know if more more information is required on this problem.

Types used in this fashion, only make sense if the table is based on the type. It makes very little sense to have a table structure and then to duplicate the structure using a type.
The 2 structures may be defined the same. But they are NOT interchangeable and requires one to be converted to the other to use. This is not sensible in my view. It is far easier in that case to simply use the PL/SQL macro +%RowType+ to create a duplicate structure definition - one that can natively be used for touching that table, without conversions required.
If you do want to use types, define the type, then define the table of that type, adding the required constraints (pk, fk, not null, check) to the table's definition.Billy:
Just curious, why do you say it makes very little sense to have a type modeled on a table? I do that a lot. In my case, I am getting the values from an external program, not building them manually, but it makes a lot of sense to me.
One application where I do this a lot has a java front-end that parses HL7 messages. Each message contains at least minimal information about a variable number of entities (and often several rows for an entity) in the database, and must be processed as a single atomic trasnaction. So, rather than have potentially hundreds of parameters to the "main" driver procedures for different message types I created a set of types more or less identical to the tables representing the entities. The java program parses the mesasge and populates the type, then calls the appropriate stored procedure for the message type passing in the populated types. My stored procedure then does inserts/updates or deletes as appropriate over potentially dozens of tables.

Form Personalization - Custom Function - How to pass parameters?

Hi,
My requirement is to call a custom mod pl/sql program (html page) from purchasing when the "approve" button is pressed. I have it working, but don't know how to pass parameters to my function.
I have my function defined and registered. In the definition under "Web HTML" tab, I have my pl/sql procedure call under "HTML Call". Where do the parameters go?
On the customization of form POXPOEPO, I am using Builtin - Launch a function. I want to pass the po_header_id, so under "Parameters", I did "Insert Item Value" of :PO_HEADERS.PO_HEADER_ID
My custom HMTL page is popping up, but the parameter is not being passed. Is there something in the Function Definition where I can define the incoming paramaters?
Thanks.

How to pass parameters between two xterm windows?

Hi,
I would like to know how to pass parameters between two xterm windows where there are two independence processes running on them respectively ? Would appreciate if any one out there can advise me . Thanks.

Global variables can be used, but you can do what the online help
says ...
Parameters are passed to called forms by means of a parameter
list. A parameter list is a named programmatic construct that is
simply a list of parameter names (called keys) and their values.
You can pass parameter values to forms invoked by the built-in
subprograms CALL_FORM, OPEN_FORM, and NEW_FORM. In addition, you
can pass parameter values to other Oracle tools with the
RUN_PRODUCT procedure.
A parameter you include in a parameter list can be either a text
parameter or a data parameter. The parameter type determines how
its value is interpreted.
Text Parameters The value of a text parameter being passed to a
called product is a CHAR string that can represent the following:
n a user-defined form parameter defined in a form invoked
by the CALL_FORM, OPEN_FORM, or NEW_FORM built-in subprograms
n a command line or user-defined parameter for a product
invoked with the RUN_PRODUCT built-in subprogram
Data Parameters The value of a data parameter being passed to a
called product is always the name of a record group defined in
the current form. (A record group is a data structure that
stores records derived from a query or through programmatic
assignment.) Data parameters are used to pass data to products
invoked with the RUN_PRODUCT built-in subprogram. You cannot
pass data parameters to forms.
The following table shows the structure of a parameter list that
contains four parameters:
Key Paramtype Value
CITY Text_Parameter 'BOGOTA'
CATEGORY Text_Parameter 'EXPORTS'
MULTIPLIER Text_Parameter '.0275'
NEW_DATA Data_Parameter 'RECORD_GROUP8'

How to add a parameter to sql query in report

Hi
How to add a parameter to sql query in report.
Parameter is from Visual studio
example:
select * from tab1 where dl=parameter???
I have VS 2008 prof CR XI R2, mysql

Hello,
If you have this API available then you can modify the record selection formulae in code to add filtering:
string recordSelectionFormula = "{T_INV_RPT_ADDR.IND_PROMUS} = {?P_PROMUS?} AND {T_INV_RPT_POINT.INVOICE_DATE} = DATE(2008, 05, 31) AND {T_INV_RPT_POINT.CHECKOUT_DATE} = date(2008, 04,29)";
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.RecordSelectionFormula = recordSelectionFormula;
You have to format and follow the rules as in the Designer so not too much work to get this to work.
CR for .NET may not have the ability so you will need to upgrade to a Developer version of Crystal Reports.
Thank you
Don

Group xml data from different sql queries in data template

Hello,
I need to do a mailing program with bursting that sends differents alerts in one mail.
For example i can have alerts for late orders, alerts for shipping not confirmed, so really different address (I dont want to use union). I have done three sql statement in data template , it gives the following ouput.
<GA_EMAIL>[email protected]</GA_EMAIL>
<G_ALERTS_1>
<ALERT>
</ALERT>
<ALERT>
</ALERT>
</G_ALERTS_1>
</GA_EMAIL>
<GA_EMAIL>[email protected]</GA_EMAIL>
<G_ALERTS_1>
<ALERT>
</ALERT>
</G_ALERTS_1>
</GA_EMAIL>
<GA_EMAIL>[email protected]</GA_EMAIL>
<G_ALERTS_2>
</G_ALERTS_2>
</GA_EMAIL>
I woud like the bursting or data template to group alerts when email is the same, because here it sends an email for each different alert.
Ideal output would be:
<GA_EMAIL>[email protected]</GA_EMAIL>
<G_ALERTS_1>
<ALERT>
</ALERT>
<ALERT>
</ALERT>
</G_ALERTS_1>
<G_ALERTS_2>
</G_ALERTS_2>
</GA_EMAIL>
But I don't know how to group different sql statements on a common field (email)
Any ideas ?
Thanks

the for-each group works well in a rtf template, but the rtf template is only applied after the bursting (in order I get first data template (instead of a report) -> bursting -> rtf template)
I want to be able to group xml data from the data template, so I can do bursting (by email ) but only once per mail.

Pass request id as parameter to XMLP data template?

I want to be able to use the request_id of the concurrent job in the sql of a data template.
I have tried adding a parameter:
<parameter name="P_CONC_REQUEST_ID" dataType = "number" defaultValue="0" />
so I can then do:
<sqlStatement name="Q1" dataSourceRef=""><![CDATA[select 'Hello '||:XX_NAME||' '||to_char(:P_CONC_REQUEST_ID) WELCOME from dual]]></sqlStatement> for example.
In reports6i this parameter gets populated automatically at runtime. Do I have to do anything extra to get this to work with XDODTEXE?
thanks for your help

How to pass parameters to query-database function [Solved]

Dear All,
I'm working on a BPEL process which reads a file and the data is passes on
to a web service. In the transform activity to transform data from the source to the
web serivice parameters, I want to use the query-database function to check if
the value given in the file exists in the database. I have added a 'If' XSL construct
for this. Now when the query is static (given with hardcoded where clause), the
query-database function works fine. But I want to use one of the column in the
source variable in the SQL query I'm using in the query-database function.
i.e. If I give the query as below it is working:
<xsl:if test="orcl:query-database("select empno from emp
where empno='10'",.....) > 0">
I want to replace the hardcoded value 10 with the value from the source variable.
I'm not sure how this should be done. If I refer to the element directly in the XSL
it is not working. I've shown this below.
<xsl:if test="orcl:query-database("select empno from emp
where empno='/tns:Root-Element/tns:Data/:tns:Empno'",.....) > 0">
Something like above does not work. I'm not sure also if the syntax is correct. It
does not give any error, but the transformation does not happen.
Is there any way you can pass any input value as a parameter to the
query-database function?
Thanks in advance
-Ruban

Hi Dipal,
The concat works! Thank you very much for the help. I didn't try concat before.
I was using a alphanumeric field, so it was required to add one more concat
for enclosing the value with single quotes. For numerical fields, one concat would
be enough as you had shown.
My xsl looks like this now:
<xsl:if test="orcl:query-database(concat(concat("select empno from emp
where empno='",/tns:Root-Element/tns:Data/:tns:Empno),"'"),
false(),false(),"jdbc/DbConnection") > 0">
This works properly.
