Vissu.....UTL_FILE just reads data from the file. It has no concept of what could be a "header" or "body" or "records" or "footer" or any other data based concept. If you want to skip lines of a file, you will just need to read them using UTL_FILE and ignore them.

Looking for thoughts on the best way to repeat the header row at the top of the exported file.

I have a request to create an extract and they need the header row to be written twice at the top of the file.
I thought maybe a for each loop with a script that reset the increment variable one time before looping through the rest of the dataset, I am curious to hear what other options there are.
Thanks,
P

If it is the same record twice then make it a variable and append twice before the details as per this blog post:

Best Regards .,

you can avoid the empty lines in your File Content Conversion by defining offset.
<i>Under Document Offset, specify the number of lines that are to be ignored at the beginning of the document.
This enables you to skip comment lines or column names during processing. If you do not make an entry, the default value is zero lines.</i>
ref: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/content.htm
then the generated XML after FCC will not have the empty lines.

How can I freeze the header row in Numbers '08

Hello,
I've read through support communities and looked high and low through numbers, but can't seem to find a way to freeze my header row. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi April,
Upgrade to Numbers '09, where the feature was added.
The closest you can come in Numbers '08 is "Repeat Headers" in the Table menu, which will show the header row at the top of each page of the document as it would be printed.

How to add A single row at the middle of the table in a Webi report

Hi,
I created a Webi report using Universe(Created universe using bex query).Now i have a requirement to display a row at the middle of a report. Can you please tell me ,how to add a sigle row at the middle of a Webi report.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Monika

Hi Monika,
It is not really possible to add a row (I assume you mean of unrelated data) to the middle of a table in a report. You can add a new table with a single row between two tables. For instance you could add a new one row table, or even single cells which are positioned relatively between two tables. Possibly a block on top of another. But this gets tricky.
Can you explain in more detail what you are trying to do?
Thanks

How can I filter the LOV rows at the runtime

I am working in oracle forms 6i.
My lov is based on a view. If I selected one row from LOV, that row should not appear in list box.
I would like to restrict rows before saving a form. How can i filer the LOV rows at the runtime?
Please help me.

Dear Mr.MH_BD,
Thanks for your immediate response,
My form is built based on master and detail link. On the multi row detail section I am invoking this LOV. The record group containing the following query:
select fees_id,fees_name,term_fees from sk_fees_mst where fees_bal>0;
fees_id
fees_name
term_fees
12
Tuition Fees
2500
13
Smart Class
100
14
Admin Fees
300
If I selected the fees_id 13 for the first row of detail section, then the LOV should display only the following in the next row:
fees_id
fees_name
term_fees
12
Tuition Fees
2500
14
Admin Fees
300
(ie.) Before commit form I need to filter the already selected fees ids from record group.
Thanks in advance.

How do I select a row from the middle of a recordset?

UserID QuestionID Answered
10 9 N
10 8 N
10 7 N
10 6 N
10 5 Y
10 4 Y
10 1 Y
From the table sorted by QuestionID DESC, how do I select the first row from the bottom going up with Answered value equal to 'N'?
Which in the example above would be:
10 6 N
I need to select this row and get the QuestionID value equal to 6.
Right now I have:
select QuestionID
from tblMap
where Answered = 'N'
and ROWNUM = 1
order by QuestionID ASC;
This always the top most row, which would be:
10 9 N

Here i used DUAL to generate a list of numbers for me.

How to hide the all rows except the result row in a report?

Hi Experts,
We have a report in which the user is interested to see only the result rows and I need to HIDE the characteristics in the rows. I was successfull in doing the same for Key figures in columns using "Calculate single value as suppress result". But I am not finding a way out to hide the characteristics in the rows.
If I move the characteristics in rows to Free characteristics, the result row is not getting dispalyed. Also, the characteristics are used dynamically by the formulae in columns and hence i cant remove these characteristics from the query. . The user wants the query to contain only one characteristic in the row and the result row for the key figures in columns. The report currently displays Invoice level data for each customer and this needs to be eliminated and it should display the summarised data for every customer. Please suggest how this can be accomplished
Regards,
Kavitha

Moving the char to free char will show the equivalent of result.
Your issue likely is that this breaks the calculations since you do want the calculations done at detail level.
To achieve this, move your char to free char (say it is 0CUSTOMER).
For the CKF/Formula, go to aggregation tab, set the exception aggregation as Total (or whatever it was in standard behavior) and specify reference characteristic (in this case 0CUSTOMER), also check the 'Before aggregation' if you have that checkbox there.
This will ensure the calculation is done at detail level even though the char is not included in the rows.
If you have multiple chars to be moved to free char but included in detailed calculation, you will need to build cascading CKFs (CKF1 with ref char1, CKF2 eq to CKF1 with exception aggr on ref char2...and so on).
Added:
I understand you do want 0CUSTOMER in there, but something else (let us say 0DOCNO) removed. Use 0DOCNO in place of 0CUSTOMER in the case described above.

How to insert a new row in the middle of an set of rows

Hi
How to insert a new row in the middle of an set of rows ? and How to Reset the line id after the new row added ?
Regards,
Sudhir B.

Hai,
just try this,
Instead of using omatrix.Addrow(1,-1) use like
omatrix.AddRow( RowCount , Position)
RowCount
The number of rows to add (default is 1)
Position
The position of the new rows (0-based; default is -1, meaning append row to the end)
After adding rows in matrix For, sno.
for i=1 to omatrix.visualrowcount
otext=omatrix.getcellspecific("columnid",i) '--where columnid is the unique id of the sno column
otext.value=i
next i
