How to populate the parameter selection with a formula

Post Author: jhartney
CA Forum: Formula
Confused or maybe just way to much coffee but I need some help here.
I want to create a dynamic multiple select parameter field pulled from the database. The fields in the DB are FIRSTNAME and LASTNAME and I want to concat those to look like "LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME" and populate the parameter list. The selection from that list will later be passed to the record selection to match in a different database table/field FULLNAME.

Answered my own Q,
I created a SQL command and used that to populate the parameter field.

How to set the parameter selection *optional* for each subreport?

Hi,
I am using Crystal Reprots 11.
I create 10 subreports, and each subreport contains a Parameters Field.
The 10 subreports are put in 10 footer sections in increasing order, i.e. subreport1, subreport2, subreport3, ..., subreport10.
When I use "Print Preview" to take a look at the whole report, CR prompts a "Edit Values" window for selecting parameter values for all 10 subreports.
For example, if I only select parameter values for subreport1 and click "OK", 9 error messages on the "Edit Values" window come out above the selection list box of every other subreports (i.e. subreport2 ~ subreport10) showing that: 'The value is not valid'.
Sometimes, I just want to review some specific subreports but not all.
How should I do to set the parameter selection optional (not mandatory) for each subreport?
Thank you in adavance.

Hi,
Here's how you can make the prompts optional (Assuming you're using CR 2008 or higher):
1) Go into each subreport
2) You should see the parameter in the Field Explorer. Right-click the name and select Edit > Look for an option called 'Optional Prompt'. Set it to true
3) If you have a record selection in the subreport, then you need to modify the selection formula to something like this:
if not(hasvalue({?Parameter_Name})) then True else = {?Parameter_Name}
Hope this helps!

Use code tags.
Don't mix GUI and JDBC together. Split them out into separate classes.
You have a good start, but you will need to loop through your resultset and also pull the ResultSet metaData for you column headings

How to set the default selection to "Select All" in a Multi valued parameter in SSRS 2008?

Hello Everyone,
How to set the default selection to "Select All" in a Multi valued parameter in SSRS 2008?
Regards

You need to specify "Default Values" in the report parameter property. Choose similar option used in the "Available Values" option, this will allow the parameter to check "Select All".

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.

How to pass the parameter of a stored procedure to iReport

Hi... i don't know how to pass the parameter of the stored procedure to the iReport.
In the Report Query, i tried
1. sp_storedprocedure ' value'
2. sp_storedprocedure +''''+$P{parameter}+''''+
3. sp_storedprocedure +$V+$P{parameter}++$F($F is a variable having a value of ' (a single quote))may you enlighten us please? thank you

For M$ SQL server I find that it only works when U use the fully qualified name...
e.g. catalod.dbo.my_procedure_name 'variable'
My full query in the Report Query window is something like this:
EXEC arc.dbo.jasper_Invoice 1000
Note that you may find that selecting from VIEWS / TABLES fails for no apparent reason and iReport will prompt you with the usual very unhelpful (we have what we "pay" for) prompt, stating that "The document is empty".
To work around this issue, where a statement like "SELECT * FROM arc.dbo.acc_invoices WHERE Invoice_id=1000" does not work, simply create a PROC, something like:
CREATE PROC jasper_MyProc (@my_rec_id integer) AS
SELECT * FROM arc.dbo.acc_invoices WHERE Invoice_id= @my_rec_id integer
...to wrap your SELECT statement, then call the PROC

How to populate the time component of a cube?

We have a question regarding how to populate the time component of a cube. Let me explain:
We are using OWB 10gR2. We have created a cube with several dimensions. We are now building the mapping to load the cube. The cube operator has two columns for every dimension (e.g., "customer" and "customer_id" for the "customer" dimension).
We understand that, in this case, "customer_id" stands for the dimension business key, so we create an arrow from the business key in the source table to the "customer_id" column in the cube operator.
So far so good. The mapping works all right, and the cube is loaded correctly.
Now we need to do the same for the time dimension. We have already created the time dimension and we have loaded it. We have also included it in the cube, so now we have two new columns in it: "time_day_code" and "time", both NUMBER data type.
We have the "sale_date" column (DATE data type), in the source system and, of course, now we want to populate the date column in the cube. We suppose that, somehow, we have to translate the "sale_date" field into the numeric column of the surrogate key of the time dimension. How should do we do this? I suppose that OWB must do the translation for us, just as it does for the other dimensions, but how? We have been looking into the manuals, and we have found no explanation on how to go about this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Best regards
Juan Algaba

Hi Juan
You are right this should have been in the manuals, checked and there is only a brief mention (Using a Time Dimension in a Cube Mapping section)
The identifier format should have been documented for each level and will involve creating the formatted attribute for input to the cube operator's time dimension reference attribute.
The time dimension business keys are stored as follows;
Day Level - YYYYMMDD
Month Level - YYYYMM
Week Level - YYYYWW
Quarter - YYYYQ
Year - YYYY
If you have a source that has a SQL date datatype for example and want to construct the key for a cube's time dimension at the day level something like the following expression can be used to construct the time reference from a SQL date...
to_number(to_char( time_key, 'YYYYMMDD'))
The result of this expression can be used as input to the cube's time dimension attribute.
Cheers
David

How to get the parameter from Java Script into the Parameter crystal Report

Hi All,
Crystal Report is integrated with Oracle 10g. I created the base SQL query for col1, col2, col3 and col4. Java Script pass parameter value (185) to Col1.
My question is how to create crystal report to make Col1 as parameter and how to get the parameter value 185(Col1) from Java Script. Is there any additional code I need to include in the crystal report?
FYI.
Java script sends the right parameter value.There is no issue in java script.
This is an automatic scheduled process when batch runs, Java script should pass the parameter value and the crystal report should get the value and produce the output report.

Not sure if this is an application question or if you are trying to hook into Crystal Reports parameter UI? If the later then no option other than report design. If an application then I can move this to the Java Forums.
If you are asking how to alter the parameters I suggest you remove the Java reference and post a new question so it's not confusing the issue.
Please clarify?

How to avoid the user selecting a different path in my installer

Hello again all you helpful forum-goers!
I have an application and a corresponding installer, and then I have a separate installer putting some support files in the same directory. My problem is that if the user selects a different path to which to install my primary application, the secondary installer will not put the required support files in the same spot.
Now, I think I've figured out how to get the user-selected path from the "Run executable at the end of installation" option in the Advanced pane of the LabVIEW installer configuration, and I can pass that in to my secondary installer, and that should fix the problem. However, what I'd really like to do is just not give the user the option to install my primary application in a different directory to begin with. I've looked, but cannot find any way to do that.
Does anyone know of any way to not present the option to install an application in a different directory when using the LabVIEW installer?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
-Joe

Ben64,
That's great! Thank you so much for your quick reply. The only reason I haven't already accepted that as my solution is that it requires a manual post-compile change to a text file. Ideally I'd prefer not to have to remember to do that every time I rebuild my installer. Is there any way that you know of to automate the process?
If not, I'm happy to have a good solution even if it takes an extra step each time to implement.
-Joe

How to populate the field Discount Percent (DIS) in the outbound S1ORDEXC?

Hello all,
I am working with the Spec2000 to send out the IDOC S1ORDEXC.
Does anyone know how to populate the field Discount Percent (DIS)?
This field length of Discount Percent is 2 characters, but our customer discount in the Princing Conditions (Sales Order) is longer than 2 characters (ex: 7.500-%)
Thank you

Hello Thuan
I guess you are working with IS- ADEC and SPEC 2000. I am not an expert on this but leave you some hints from OSS notes I came across.
It appears like Discount Percent - DIS and Procurement Discount Percent -PDP are complementary and mutually exclusive. If one exists, the other need not.
Looks like DIS is computed as (100-PDP)/100 and it is just a 2- integer data (as in 20 Percent). It is a kind of multiplier (Factor), example if PDP discount is 10 percent, then DIS (Factor) is 0.9 and so final (net) price after discount = Price*0.9.
" If the discount comes in the S1BOOKED inbound into SD in the field DIS, then the discount has to be sent back in the DIS field .. if it came in the PDP field then it has to be sent back in the PDP field. If there was no discount in the incoming IDoc, then the discount has to be filled in the PDP if there was a change in the discount".
KDATE in SPEC 2000 file maps to DIS and KPERC to PDP.
PDP has 4 characters and per OSS note 440380, the point is ignored meaning you can work with 1225 instead of 12.25.
So may be you can work with PDP?
OSS notes: Apply to older releases but may still be applicable conceptually speaking.
456153 - S1ORDEXC does not send out Discount
440380 - PDP has only 4 characters in the SPEC IDoc instead of 5
596042 - Discount percent DIS not considered e processing S1ORDEXC
698668 - Incorrect calculation of unit price for PO item by S1ORDEXC
Let me know you final findings.

How to get the previoulsy selected value in a combobox

How to get the previoulsy selected value in a combobox. i WANT the current and the previously selected value of the combobox.

Just add to combobox ItemListener. When item is changing in itemStateChanged arrives 2 events. ItemEvent.DESELECTED and ItemEvent.SELECTED with corresponding item's values. Just write something like this:

Hi
To make Excel sheets from sqlplus, you can use the markup html tag in sqlplus.
Here's an example.
Example
<code>
SET LINESIZE 4000
SET VERIFY OFF
SET FEEDBACK OFF
SET PAGESIZE 999
SET MARKUP HTML ON ENTMAP ON SPOOL ON PREFORMAT OFF
SPOOL c:\test_xls.xls
SELECT object_type
, SUBSTR( object_name, 1, 30 ) object
, created
, last_ddl_time
, status
FROM user_objects
ORDER BY 1, 2
SPOOL OFF
SET MARKUP HTML OFF ENTMAP OFF SPOOL OFF PREFORMAT ON
SET LINESIZE 2000 VERIFY ON FEEDBACK ON
</code>

How to populate the attribute of the characteristics in Contract?

Hi Experts,
I need to populate the attribute "Truck Net Value" of the characteristics during the Contract creation with reference to Sales Order. Brief description of the scenerio:
We are using a variant material in the Sales Order. This material has different attributes which the end user need to populate during the SO creation. Now I have to create a Contract with reference to Sales Order. While creating the Contract with reference to Sales Order I want to populate the attribute "Truch Net Value" of the Sales Order with some value and update the Sales Order. So to update the attibute of the Sales Order during Contract Creation. Is there any function module that I can use for this purpose? I know where to write the code in the standard program? But I don't know how to populate the attibute?
Thanks
MAN

Hi,
Welcome to SCN!!!
After the contract is created, you can call the BAPI BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE along with COMMIT to change the order texts. Alternatively you can use FMs SAVE_TEXT and COMMIT_TEXT to change any kind of texts.
You can check the parameters to be passed by placing the breakpoints in these FMs, change and save the text manually from VA02 in the sales order.
Thanks,
Vinod.

How to populate the TEXT field in MIGO

Hello Pabitra,
I had a similar issue in my Project.
Please verify if the SMOD enhancement MBCF0002 (EXIT_SAPMM07M_001) is active in your system.
If this is the case, verify from two angles:
a) Whether the Enhancement was accidentally activated - If yes, then De-activate the same
b) If there is some logic coded in the User Exit, but, the Text is somehow not determined...even the existing content in the text field (input to EXIT_SAPMM07M_001) will get vanished.
Hope that your problem will be resolved by this. Pls reward points.
With Regards
