How to set values of formula fields during runtime in crystal reports

Hello All,
Could any one help in letting me know how to set the values of a formula in the runtime.
I tried using the below systax in the formula field
Assume that I have 2 formula fields
1. format_count
2. format_display
my formula is like below:
in the formula field format_count i have
format_display=pagenumber
when checking for errors its throwing error stating "stamement is expected"
Could any one help in resolving this
Thanks

Hi Ranjeet,
Whenever you assign values to a variable, you need to use :=
Like this:
numbervar x := pagenumber
And what exactly are you trying to do anyway?

Difficulty in setting value of a field at runtime

I have a form with input text fields. One of the fields is disabled and automatically filled by the system. I am having problem filling this field at runtime.
What I did was that I tried to set the value of the field during the save operation (that is when I clicked on the save button). The system sets the value of the field but it did not commit the value into the table. This is is the code that I used
    public String SaveParameterRecord() {
       this.codeTypeId.setValue("GB011");
        BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
        OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("Commit");
        Object result = operationBinding.execute();
        if (!operationBinding.getErrors().isEmpty()) {
            return null;
        return null;
Again I tried with with method call, but it gave me java.lang.NullPointerException at the point (this.codeTypeId.setValue("GB011"))
    public String CheckParameterMethod() {
         BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
        OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("CreateInsert");
        Object result = operationBinding.execute();
        if (!operationBinding.getErrors().isEmpty()) {
            return null;
         this.codeTypeId.setValue("GB011");
        return null;

hi Frank,
The issue I see is that by putting this.codeTypeId.setValue("GB011"); wont be updating the model, and that is why after your commit, the value comes null. Is that variable depending on any other value? If you really want to update the model at that stage you will need to do something like;
public static void setExpressionValue(String expression, Object newValue) {
      FacesContext facesContext = getFacesContext();
      Application app = facesContext.getApplication();
      ExpressionFactory elFactory = app.getExpressionFactory();
      ELContext elContext = facesContext.getELContext();
      ValueExpression valueExp =
          elFactory.createValueExpression(elContext, expression,
                                          Object.class);
      //Check that the input newValue can be cast to the property type
      //expected by the managed bean.
      //If the managed Bean expects a primitive we rely on Auto-Unboxing
      Class bindClass = valueExp.getType(elContext);
      if (bindClass.isPrimitive() || bindClass.isInstance(newValue)) {
          valueExp.setValue(elContext, newValue);
And then instead using this.codeTypeId.setValue("GB011"); you will call setExpressionValue("#{bindings.yourVariable.inputValue}","GB011"). But then again I dont recommend you doing this.
If this variable depends on another variable, you can use a setPropertyListener and autoSubmit=true.

Passing value to formula field in CR XI from vb6

currently using vb6 and testing CR XI. Attempting to pass a value to a formula field in a CR XI report and getting the an "invalid use of property" How do you pass a value from code in vb6 to the formula in the report?
current code is as follows:
Set app = New craxdrt.Application
Set cr = app.OpenReport("test.rpt")
Dim crystalFormFieldDefns As craxdrt.FormulaFieldDefinitions
Dim crystalFormFieldDefn As craxdrt.FormulaFieldDefinition
Set crystalFormFieldDefns = cr.FormulaFields
Set crystalFormFieldDefns.Item(0).FormulaFieldName = ("{@InvList}")
crystalFormFieldDefn.Text = Chr$(34) & selFormula & Chr$(34)
crvInvoice.ReportSource = cr
crvInvoice.ViewReport

Hi, Gerry;
I think the logic is off a bit.
Instead of:
Set crystalFormFieldDefns.Item(0).FormulaFieldName = ("{@InvList}")
Try:
For Each crystalFormFieldDefn In crystalFormFieldDefns
If crystalFormFieldDefns.Name = "{@InvList}" Then
crystalFormFieldDefn.Text = Chr$(34) & selFormula & Chr$(34)

        oRecSet.DoQuery(strQuery)
             oCombo = Me.oForm.Items.Item(encontrolName.colEmpType).Specific
        If oRecset.Fields.Count > 0 Then
            While oRecset.EoF = False
                oCombo.ValidValues.Add(oRecset.Fields.Item(0).Value, oRecset.Fields.Item(1).Value)
                oRecset.MoveNext()

How to set values to the structure containing a node with cardinality 0..n

Hello.
I 'm trying to set values for the node with cardinality 0..n. The node type is "Fields".
<xsd:complexType name="Field">
 <xsd:sequence>
 <xsd:element name="fieldCode" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
 <xsd:element name="displayValue" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0"></xsd:element>
 </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="Fields">
 <xsd:sequence>
 <xsd:element name="field" type="tns:Field" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"></xsd:element>
 </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
I need to set several values for the element "fieldCode" but it has cardinality 0..1 and BPM does not allow it but I did not find any option about how to set values for the structure of type "Fields". Could you help me?
Best regards,
Timur Semenchuk

Hi Marcus,
If there is no way you could change the cardinality of the node, and thus it can contain 0..n items, I think you should create-and-add a new element programmatically.
Since the collection can contain zero elements, I would add a 'new' button, which upon clicking adds one new element via:
IYourNodeElement yourNodeElem = wdContext.nodeYourNode().createYourNodeElement();
wdContext.nodeYourNode().addElement(yourNodeElem);
Hope this explains a bit!
Best,

Get value of formula variable during query runtime into a text variable

Hi all,
I wanna get the value of the formula variables during the query runtime into a text variable.
My scenario is like this: First I defined a formula variable Z_DATE_3 which is processing by replacement. It will get the day of a characteristcs(Startdate).
Then I defined a text variable and in the function module related to this text variable, I used the parameter I_T_VAR_RANGE which can store the value of formula variable during the query runtime.So I can read the value from this table in my function module.
But I have a issue, when I run the query which used the defined text variable, it seems that it doesn't call the corresponding function module. Because I set a breadpoint in hte code and it never reach this breakpoint.
If I removed the parameter I_T_VAR_RANGE , it can enter the function module.
So could you please give some advice?
Is my solution correct or not?
And what's wrong with the parameter I_T_VAR_RANGE? Did I use it correctly?
And My code is:
DATA: l_s_range_v TYPE rrrangeexit,
 l_day type sy-datum.
if i_step <> 2.
raise no_processing.
endif.
READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO l_s_range_v
 WITH KEY vnam = 'Z_DATE_3'.
if sy-subrc = 0.
 l_day = l_s_range_v-low.
endif.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards
Fanchest

Hi, Fanchest,
I'm having just the same issue. Did you find a solution?
I wrote a short routine in CMOD to derive the value of a formula variable to a text variable, but it's not working (I don't get any value). Can you share your solution?
Thanks in advance,

How to set value on MRU insert Tabular Form

This post refers to the forum article found How to set value on MRU insert Tabular Form
I have included the problem and proposed solution below. My problem follows
Problem
Hi,
I am using a Tabular Form. I used the wizard and it created all of the items (Cancel, Submit, Add, Multidelete buttons, etc.). I have a table that is like an FK table. For instance, we could have a customer table, and then a customer address table. Each customer could have multiple addresses. In the address table, the first ID column is the customer ID. So in using the tabular form for the addresses, I need to make the first column the same when I insert. But when I choose add row, everything works fine except it tries to insert a null into customer id. The uniqueness of the row is determined by customer ID and address string.
Any time I make it to this screen, all new rows will have the same ID with I have in a variable that I can reference from the page called :P0_ITM_CUST_ID.
How do I set the first value for all inserts? My guess is I need to do this in Computations. I'm also guessing I need to do this with a replace statement. I'm just not sure how to reference the first column of the new row.
Thanks!
Tim
Solution
The way to do this is by using the "Default" value for that Column. Go to
Home>Application Builder>Application xxx>Page yyy>Report Attributes>Column Attributes
Set the default value for newly added rows as in

Hope this helps.
Un-resolved problem
have also tried to do this but the fields I see are not the same.
Please see screenshot=http://krisjones.freewebspace.com/apex.JPG
I am using the Oracle hosted environment, so 2.2.1.
To my knowledge I have done the same as the user in the first post. Am I doing something incorrectly or should I have created the tabular form differently?
Many thanks. Kris

Kristian - You see a different version of the form depending on whether the selected column is the primary key column or not.

You have to change the value of that backing bean, not the JSF component directly. JSF takes care of updating the model, you shouldn't be touching it unless you know what you are doing.

How to set value for trim and bleed using jsx script?

I have tried using bleedoffsetRect but somehow it is not working. Can anybody please help me on how to set value for trim and bleed using jsx script? Any example will be highly appreciated.
Following is the code I am trying with:
var _saveName = new File ( root_path +_strFileName+".pdf");
    var _saveOpts = new PDFSaveOptions();
    _saveOpts.printerResolution = 300;
    var bleedarray = new Array();
     bleedarray[0] =9.00;
     bleedarray[1]=9.00;
     bleedarray[2]=9.00;
     bleedarray[3]=9.00;
    _saveOpts.bleedOffsetRect = bleedarray;

I would expect although I've not actually tried this for the bleed off set box to be larger than the artbaord and the first two values to be negative or 0…
var bleedarray = new Array(-9,-9,artboard.width+9,artboard.height+9);
Where 'artboard.width' & 'artboard.height' you will have calculated from your file. An Array(9,9,9,9); would not constitute any boxes bounds.

Just treat the Item No. column as an EditText for purposes of setting its value.
