Lexical Parameter in Oracle Reports . . .

Hi all,
I am trying to pass a value to a query in oracle reports . . .
the use of the parameter is to add 2 additional columns to an existing query, if a bind parameter is set to 'Yes' else the parameter carries a value NULL;
Here is the code I have written in After Parameter Form:
if :P_ROLL_DETAIL_PRN='Yes' then
:P_CUSTOM_CODE:=NULL;
:P_CUSTOM_CODE:=:P_CUSTOM_CODE||'wdd.LOT_NUMBER' ||','||'wdd.SUBLOT_NUMBER';
else
:P_CUSTOM_CODE:='';
end if;
P_Roll_detail is the bind parameter . . and P_CUSTOM_CODE is the Lexical Parameter . ..
It works for value 'No' of P_ROLL_DETAIL .. . but for Value 'Yes' I get an error . . .
REP-0499: Column '' selected by the query is incompatible with report defination
Kindly help...
Regards
Jagan

Lexical parameters can not be used to change the number of selected columns. Consider selecting max number of columns always, but populating last two columns with either NULL values or table columns based on the parameter. Also, manipulations can be done in the layout model using format triggers.

How to define Lexical Parameter in Oracle report.

Dear all,
I need to know that how i will define lexical parameter in query of report builder
i have like this
SELECT R.EXCEPTION_MESSAGE EXP_MESSAGE,
ER.PROD_ID PRODUCT,
ER.TNAME SEGMENT1 ,
DECODE(R.STATUS,'Y','ROW',
'L','TABLE',
'Z','CIB LEVEL',
NULL) STATUS,
NVL(COUNT(*),0) CNT
FROM EXCEPTION_RECORDS ER,CIB_PROC_TABLES_RULES R
WHERE ER.TABLE_ID=R.CIB_TABLE_ID
AND ER.EXP LIKE '%'||R.EXCEPTION_MESSAGE||'%'
AND ER.BRWR=:v_brwr
&v_where
GROUP BY R.EXCEPTION_MESSAGE,ER.PROD_ID,ER.TNAME,R.STATUS
ORDER BY 2
It is giving an error

V_WHERE should be defined same way as regular parameter. It should acquire certain value that makes the query syntaxically correct bofore the sql is run, usually in the After Param Form trigger, e.g.
v_where := 'WHERE 1=1';

How to use LIKE function with a parameter in Oracle REPORT builder??

how could i use parameter inside a LIKE function in Oracle reports builder?
it works in SQL plus, but not in report builder!!
Example:
select code,desc from item_master where desc
like '%&give_desc%'; ---works in SQL
like '%:give_desc%' ---doesn't work in report builder!!

Hi Renil,
You will need to use the wildcard character (%) and the concatenation character (||) to join to your user parameter.
i.e. like '%'||:give_desc||'%'

How to use lexical paramter in oracle reports

I have a query like,
select * from t1 where &c1=:v_srep;
where t1 is tablename
c1 is column name
How do I create &c1 and how should I populate it ?
Thanks,

From Oracle 8.1.5 database, we can use dynamic ref cursors.
With dynamic ref cursor we can really avoid the use of lexical parameters in Reports.
With static ref cursor this is not possible in all cases.
For example, if we need dynamic WHERE, we practically can't use static ref cursor.
But, problem is that Reports needs static ref cursor type for building Report Layout.
Solution (as i know, first published in my post in MetaLink Reports Forum,
thread "Report based on Ref Cursor or PL/SQL Table", 24-Aug-01) is:
in package specification we must have both ref cursor types,
static for Report Layout and dynamic for ref cursor query.
Dynamic ref cursor examples:

Need help on passing a parameter in Oracle report

Hello guys ...i Have a custom report which takes..TRX number and Org id as input Parameters.where TRX number is mandatory and ORg id is optional.
here is my question ..if i dont pass the org id,it should take the id of the Organization where i am running the report.how can this functionality achieved...
thanks....

Hi,
You can use NVL function in form, where you are passing the parameters. So replace the *:ORG_ID* with
NVL(:ORG_ID, :CUR_ORG_ID). Or If you are saving the current Org_id in a table / passing it to the report using another parameter, you can do the same in the report also.

Manu.

Adding Additional Parameter in Oracle Reports -- Is this Possible?

Hi,
Please help me with this predicament: There are several reports being called through a single form, wherein a common parameter list is being used. Now I need to add another parameter called BLANKPAGES to one report only. Is it possible for me to put this script inside that one report's trigger?
ADD_PARAMETER ( pl_id , ' BLANKPAGES ' , TEXT_PARAMETER , ' NO ' ) ;
What are my other options?
Thanks in advance,

it said ora-00933 but my query can run i dont need the multiple values para, can anyone help me how to modify the report so it can pass multipel values thanks

HI I tried changing the parameter width to a larger value, it can output , and the field where I show the order_number i used source P_CONTRACT_NO,
it will display as 102005000,102005001 and I also tried using the column from the query directly, it will be separated , it has some other problem
I have the header part and main part,
and also there are page numbering, with the order number field set as order_number it will output single number , but the page order is wrong
102005000,102005001 will be like header page: 102005000 1/4 102005001 2/4, main page 102005000 3/4, 102005001 3/4
DO you have any idea how I can set the page numbering setting so it will output as header page:102005000 1/2 102005000 2/2
header page:102005001 1/2 102005001 2/2

Problem when using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT and passing in lexical parameter

Hi,
I got a blank page with error "An error has occured while trying to use this document" when I tried to use web.show_document and passing a lexical parameter to 10g report on 10gAS. The URL in the web.show_document is:
http://<srvname>:<portnum>/reports/rwservlet?server=repserver90&report=myrpt.rdf&destype=Cache&desformat=pdf&userid=<usr>/<pw>@<db>&where_clause=where%20product_type%20in%20('REPORT')
If I change the desformat to htmlcss, it is fine to display the report. But doesn't work with desformat=pdf. The pdf file has been generated in the cache. Why can't it display on the screen.
Also I tried to use double quote the value for where_clause. The pdf report showed up. But it ignored the where clause.
Experts please help.
Ying

I use lexical parameters and they work fine, but I use a parameter list. The code is contained in a form that is called by all forms that wish to run a report. This way you only need the logic for printing in a single form. If you want the form, email me at [email protected]

Lexical parameter report in oracle reports

Hello
I am new in oracle forms and reports.I am using oracle weblogic 10.3.5 with oracle forms and reports 11g at windows 7.
I have need to create a lexical parameter report In which I have query as:
select &P_1 ename,sal from emp
this works well but here I have to give the default value with lexical parameter which is ename but i do not want it.
Here If I give the value to P_1 --> empno
then It returns all data but there is column heading is ename for data empno from emp table.
Is there any way so that to eliminate the default value for lexical parameter.Actually I want the sql data source query like
select &P_1 ,sal from emp
But flashes error ORA 00936 of missing expression.
Please suggest me
Thank You
regards aaditya

Hi,
Check the datatype of the USERNAME and width value assigned for it. Because the cause for this error is:
An arithmetic, numeric, string, conversion, or constraint error occurred. For example, this error occurs if an attempt is made to assign the value NULL to a variable declared NOT NULL, or if an attempt is made to assign an integer larger than 99 to a variable declared NUMBER(2).
Change the data, how it is manipulated, or how it is declared so that values do not violate constraints.
Thanks,
Vidya Viswanathan.

Help desiging a 10g Oracle Report with Matrix and Lexical Parameters - Long

Hello all:
I apologize in advance for this long post.... I'm using Oracle Reports 10g (9.0.4.0.33). First -- the question:
I need to create a Matrix where the rows come from one database table
(TABLE1) and the columns and cell contents come from a linked query (pulled from TABLE2) that is generated with lexical parameters based on the current TABLE1 row. The lexical parameters contain a WHERE clause for the TABLE2 query. Basically, I have a linked query between TABLE1 and TABLE2. I need to generate a Matrix around it.
Does anyone know if this is even possible?
Here's the background on the application, if that is helpful...
I have an application where I maintain database tables containing names/addresses along with information pertaining to them. As part of the processing, I need to produce reports that contain statistics based on values in the table. For example, each row has a field RTYPE that identifies the Record Type (1-Suppress, 2-Buyer, 3-Inquirer). Each row also has a last purchase date field. The statistics produced for this field would look like this:
          2001     2002     2003     11/03     12/03 01/04     02/04 03/04     04/04     05/04 ...
Buyer      100 150 250 30 25 15 8 9 22 83
Inquirer     1000 800 493 ...
Suppress ... ...
Totals ... ...
Each cell contains the count of the number of records that have the corresponding RTYPE and Last Purchase date. The dates across the top are determined by the most recent purchase date in the file. We count the last 12 months, month by month, and then anything older than that is grouped by
year of purchase. So, the column headings are variable.
The SQL query for this example looks like this:
SELECT CASE WHEN rtype = '2' THEN 'Buyers'
WHEN rtype = '3' THEN 'Inquirers'
WHEN rtype = '1' THEN 'Suppress'
END HLDESC,
CASE WHEN MONTHS_BETWEEN(trunc(:MAXHLDATE,'MONTH'),
TRUNC(T.HOTLINE,'MONTH')) < 12
THEN TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'YYYYMM')
ELSE TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'YYYY') || '00'
END YYMM_8,
CASE WHEN MONTHS_BETWEEN(trunc(:MAXHLDATE,'MONTH'),
TRUNC(T.HOTLINE,'MONTH')) < 12
THEN TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'MM/YY')
ELSE TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE, 'YYYY')
END FmtDate_8,
COUNT(*) HLCOUNT
FROM &TABLENAME T
GROUP BY CASE WHEN rtype = '2' THEN 'Buyers'
WHEN rtype = '3' THEN 'Inquirers'
WHEN rtype = '1' THEN 'Suppress'
END,
CASE WHEN MONTHS_BETWEEN(trunc(:MAXHLDATE,'MONTH'),
TRUNC(T.HOTLINE,'MONTH')) < 12
THEN TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'YYYYMM')
ELSE TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'YYYY') || '00'
END,
CASE WHEN MONTHS_BETWEEN(trunc(:MAXHLDATE,'MONTH'),
TRUNC(T.HOTLINE,'MONTH')) < 12
THEN TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'MM/YY')
ELSE TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE, 'YYYY')
END
ORDER BY CASE WHEN MONTHS_BETWEEN(trunc(:MAXHLDATE,'MONTH'),
TRUNC(T.HOTLINE,'MONTH')) < 12
THEN TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'YYYYMM')
ELSE TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'YYYY') || '00'
END
There might be a better way to write this, but that isn't the issue at the moment.
I have many different tables, each with different fields. I need to produce counts on each of those fields. Some of those fields have a limited number of values where I need to count the occurrences and attach a description (like the RTYPE counts above). Others, like Last Purchase Amount, require counts within ranges (between 0 and 9.99, 10 and 19.99, etc.). Still others are "multiple choice"-style fields (such as products purchased), where we have multiple single-char flags that are not null when the corresponding products are purchased. In this case, we need to produce statistics that look like this:
          2001     2002     2003     11/03     12/03 01/04     02/04 03/04     04/04     05/04 ...
Product 1 .........
Product 2 .........
The worst of the bunch is a field where I need to count the occurrence of each value within it (hundreds of values) without entering descriptions, so I don't know how many rows will appear ahead of time. This is used for "source codes" that identify where the name/address came from. They look similar to the RTYPE above, but the leftmost column contains each value from the field rather than a description. There are so many possible values and they change so often that it isn't feasible to enter a description for each one.
Right now, I manually create an Oracle Report for each table when I design/load it. This is becoming difficult to manage, since I have over 150 of them now. Each of these reports can have any number of matrices to display (the largest right now has about 25).
The new table structure to generate these reports consists of two tables: A COUNTHDR table and a COUNTROW table. The COUNTHDR table represents a single Matrix within the report. It contains info such as a heading for the Matrix and whether column totals should be calculated or not. The COUNTROW table contains a description for each row and an SQL Fragment that contains an appropriate WHERE clause to match the description. In the event of a "source code" style count, COUNTHDR has the name of the field to count. COUNTROWs won't exist, so I'll be handling those counts differently. But, ignoring that issue for now, the report structure looks like this:
+ Q1 +
|
+ COUNTHDR +
|
+ COUNTROW +
| linked query
+ Q2 +
|
+ COUNTDTL +
Q2 is the query with lexical parameters for the table and "where clause" that identifies the actual statistic I need counted. I need fields from COUNTROW and COUNTDTL to form a Matrix.
Can this be done? How?
Of course, if anyone out there has a better idea on how to achieve my goal of not writing a report per table, please let me know!! :-)
TIA
Eric Raskin
PS. This structure does not exactly duplicate my original query, since multiple Matrix rows are created by the single SQL query given in the example. Instead, I'll end up executing an SQL query for each row, which is less than desirable. The design will need some tweaking...
PPS. I have tried handling this problem by pre-counting the target table and storing the results in a COUNTCOL table, containing the details of the matrix. This actually does work, but the performance is terrible. I have one "source code"-style count that generated over 20,000 detail cells, including all the "0" cells needed to fill out the matrix. If you don't generate the "0" cells, you get holes in the matrix presentation and/or error messages (which I can explain if you wish). I never did get Oracle Reports to print this one -- I gave up after an hour of runtime on a P4 3GHz machine connected via Gigabit Ethernet to the server. Hence the attempt to push the SQL Queries back into the Oracle Report itself.

1.Test each parameter separate first - each work ?
2.Use code above, rerig it, create multiple parameter
3.try again...
hope this helps...
