How to use Count with Date Parameters

Hello,
I am having issues using the Count() function in conjunction with date parameters.
This is a Siebel report and in my report I have 2 date parameters(From Date, To Date). In a nutshell I am basically trying to count Opportunities that has a start date within the given date period. However I don't see a reasonable way to put my date parameters within the Count() function. The reason being is that I need to have a huge chunk of code to convert the dates into a common format that can be compared, and it won't even fit within the code block in my rtf template. I am not even sure how to put multiple conditional statements inside a Count() function since all the examples I have seen are very simple.
Anyone have a suggestion on how to use Count() with date parameters?
Thanks.

Any chance you can get the date formats in the correct format from siebel?
I don't know Siebel - so I can't help you with that. If you get the correct format it is just
<?count(row[(FromDate>=date) and  (date<=ToDate))?>
Otherwise the approach would probably need to use string function to get year/monthd/day from the date
and store it into a varialbe and compare later the same way
<?variable@incontext:from; ....?>
<?variable@incontext:to; ...?>
<?count(row[($from>=date) and  (date<=$to))?>
Potentially you can use the date functions such as xdofx:to_date to do the conversion
[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12844_01/doc/bip.1013/e12187/T421739T481158.htm]
But I am not sure if they are available in your siebel implementation.
Hope that helps

  • How to use Count with other all fields

    Hello guys. Sorry about my question because it s syntax but i didnt find in google.
    How can i use count combined with other all fields.
    Like SELECT count(*) 'other all fields like * '  FROM VBAK .
    Thank you very much.

    Don't sure to understand your requirement (count would always be 1, aggregates are only defined with grouping)
    So either use two SELECT (or replace count(*) counting Nr of records selected) if no relation between count and field values....
    Or use a dynamic SELECT syntax. Use FM DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET to  get field list, then create fieldlist with every field name and count(*), create grouplist with every field name
    SELECT (fieldlist)
           INTO ...
           FROM table
           GROUP BY (grouplist).

    The page has a ListBox where list items are populated from the database.My requirement is
    whenever the list is changed the page shuold be refreshed with the selected item info.
    I tried to use 'JavaScript' for triggering the event with 'onChange' event of the ListBox.But the event is not getting invoked. I think JavaScript is not working with JSP.
    Please help me with how to Use javaScript with JSP or any other alternative where I can meet my requirement.
    I have one more question...I have gone through the JSP samples in OTN and I am trying do download the sample 'Travel servlet' which show list of countries...etc
    I have also gone through the 'readme' but I don't know how to extract .jar file.
    I would be great if you could help me in this.

    We have a similar need. We have used Cold Fusion to display data from Our Oracle Database. We have a simple SElect Box in HTML populated with the oracle data. When someone selects say the State of Pennsylvania. then we have an On change event that runs a Javascript to go get all the cities in Pennsylvania.
    Proble we are having is that inorder for the Javascript to work , we currently have to send all the valid data.
    Do you know of any way to dynamically query the the Oracle database in Javascript

  • How to use setSoTimeOut() with socket ??

    HI All!
    I eagerly need to know how to use setSoTimeOut() with socket (on server side).
    Actually the scenario is that My Server accepts connection and waits for connected client to send data to it. I WANT TO KEEP, IF CLIENT DOENS'T SENDS ANY DATA TO SERVER WITHIN 5 min. THEN SERVER MUST CLOSE THE CONNECTION, BUT IF SERVER RECEIVES STILL A BYTE FROM THE CLIENT WITHIN 5 mins., THE SERVER MUST RESET CHECKING TIME OUT FOR NEXT 5 MINUTES.
    How can i do that??
    Any help with example will be appreciated!!
    Thanx in advance

    you'd have to do something like this:
    (this is all assuming you want to read Strings from the socket. setSoTimeout works for any read() call to the InputStream associated with the Socket)
    ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(myPort);
    Socket s = ss.accept();
    s.setSoTimeout(5*60*1000); // 5 mins * 60 secs * 1000ms
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(s.getInputStream()));
    boolean running = true;
    while(running)
    try
    String readIn = in.readLine();
    // do whatever you want with the data read
    catch(SocketTimeoutException)
    running = false;
    Now. That's what I think needs to be done. I don't have Java on the machine I'm currently on, so I can't test/verify it, but it goes something like that.
    Good luck,

  • Need an example how to use SCAN_Start with a callback function

    I would appreciate if someone helps me with a working example of how to use SCAN_Start with a callback function. I need just a basic functionality: to specify a channel list (with gains probably), to start a data acquisition task and to receive data buffers utilizing a callback function. t this time whatever I was trying to do caused computer hangups, though it is supposed to be one of the most regular tasks to perform.
    Thank you in advance,
    Mike

    Hello Mike,
    Thank you for contacting National Instruments.
    Attached is an example project which uses a callback function to begin analog acquisition (AI) by calling SCAN_Start. This project acquires from the first 2 channels on your DAQ device. Make sure to modify the device number in the code to match the number of your card.
    Let me know if you have any further questions...

  • How to use Terminal with KeySpan USB serial adaptor cable?

    I own a KeySpan model USA-19HS to use with our MacBookPro when working on clients networking equipment that require serial communication. I have used ZTerm with excellent luck, but it costs, and is yet another application that I dont really want. I would like to know if any one out there has exacing instructions on how to use Terminal with this adaptor. If I could write a file that had, say, the couple most common settings (9600-8-n-1, 57600-8-n-1, et cetera) that I could simply click on, to open a new Terminal window with those settings, then simply close that, and open a new window (apple+n) in order to get back to a default settings terminal window. All feedback is most appreciated.
    Thanks so much, Jason Sjobeck

    Hi, Jason. Welcome to the Discussions.
    You wrote: "All feedback is most appreciated."OK.
    1. Have you considered discussing this with Keyspan Support?
    2. Have you read the section "OSX has Terminal.app - why do I need ZTerm?" on the ZTerm Home Page? That seems to explain why one needs an app like ZTerm.
    3. A quick search of Keyspan's FAQ for your product and terminal doesn't yield much more than how to find the serial ports using Terminal.
    Likewise, this Google search also yields little, and variants of that search of such weren't particularly help either.
    It appears your inquiry seems to be a somewhat esoteric topic.
    4. Apparently, ZTerm X is a bit long in the tooth and there's no Universal Binary for it. It sounds, however, like you've tried it running on your MBP under Rosetta, yes?
    5. In researching alternatives to ZTerm for you, I note the followng:• The comment from "Reverb" on this page suggests C-Kermit or Kermit as a free alternative.
    • This tip on Mac OS X Hints cites Minicom as another option.6. You may want to try your question on the Unix Discussion.

  • How to use assert with wireless toolkit?

    Hi,
    I am trying to find out how to use assert with wireless toolkit. I have found that I need to pass "-source 1.4" to the java compiler. But I can't find any documentation on how to do it.
    I'm using J2ME Wireless Toolkit 2.2.
    thanks
    Ludde

    Here's a quote from an article on Java World at http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-11-2001/jw-1109-assert.html
    "To support the new assertion facility in J2SE 1.4, the Java platform adds the keyword assert to the language, an AssertionError class, and a few additional methods to java.lang.ClassLoader."
    So I really think it's part of 1.4.
