Limit on select lists in mru regions

Has anynone experienced limtits on the number of select_list_lov(s) in multi-row updatable regions?
I have experienced this using a wizard as well as creating the region manually. The thing is that if I use popup lov(s) it works fine with no errors - but I really want to use htmldb_item.select_list_from_lov(s). The error is:
report error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
If anyone knowa how to increase this buffer size or any work around it will be greatly apprceiated.
Thanks,
Sabrina

Hi,
I cannot believe that 32 k should be the limit. I used the following SQL:
DECLARE
v_sql_stmt VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
v_sql_stmt :=

This SQ Query (PL/SQL function body) works with abaut 100 records on an Oracle 10g lon Windows. But it didn't work with 0 records on Oracle 10g on Sun solaris.
Only using

|| '''style="width: 200px;"'',''YES'') schaetzer_id,'
worked fine.
Note:
schaetzer_id number and :P35_DEFAULT_SCHAETZER has numeric value
Can someone tell me if there is a bug or what is the difference between the operatiing systems in using HTMLDB 2.0?
Thanks a lot

Select list in report region.Everything is not in order...

I want to have a select item in a report region. The selected item in de select list is the "master" for the records in the region. It was working fine but after dropping another region on the same page the select list is now shown beneath the report instead of on top of the report. I can't find a way to get it back on top.
As a matter of fact I can't find any attribute that determines what comes first in this situation. Is it bad practise to use a item in a report region?

Thanks, that's it.
Because I wanted this region to be above two other regions I moved it to page template 2. I did not notice the "items below/items above region content". I guess I need to create a page template region 2 items above content.

Select List and detail region

db11gxe , apex 4.0 , firefox 24 ,
hi all ,
i have a master detail page , with an item "test_id" as a select list ,
and a detail region has also a column "test_id" ,
what i want is :
when i change the value of the master "test_id" , the data is retrieved in the detail region where "test_id" = "master_test_id" ;
how to do so ?
thanks

Newbi_egy
Do you mean that when you change the test in the master you want to refresh the detail?
Can you put up an example of your tables and foreign keys etc. on apex.oracle.com.
To me this sounds a wrong model design.
The detail should only depend on the primary key of the master. And the primary key shouldn't be updatable.

CAT2 - Limit WBS selection list

Hi,
We are running Timesheets using CAT2.
I am trying to limit the selection of projects (receiver WBS element) via the search help screen so that only released (REL) projects are listed. Can this be achieved in config or will this need to be coded?
Currently, every WBS created in CJ20N is visible, no matter what the system status is: CRTD, REL, TECO, CLSD - even marked for deletion. It is only when I physically delete a WBS that it disappears from the list.
Obviously these codes will error on the timesheet if specific statuses have been set, so how can I prevent the users seeing them on the selection list if they are not for use?
Any help/advise would be useful.
Thanks in advance.

Hi graeme,
1. One way is using search help exit,
and restrict the values.
2. Another is using EXIT,
and checking, if there is any wrong entry in the time sheet.
3. For that use the enhancement CATS0006 (using smod tcode).
There u can validate the entire time sheet,
while saving.
(if there is any error , u can restrict from saving,
after giving some message)
regards,
amit m.

Limit selection list for variables

Hello Experts.
Is there a way to limit the selection list for variables? For example, there are many possible currency values for 0CURRENCY, but I want allow the user to choose only one of these choices USD, EUR, or HKD. I would rather not do a validation check subsequent to the users making their selection.
I must use 0CURRENCY rather than copying it to another characteristic and entering only those three keys in master data.
Any ideas?
Kind regards,
Aron
Edited by: Aron Weaver on Oct 1, 2010 1:08 AM

If you are using the standard info object which is referring to '0CURRENCY' then it mayn't be possible to restrict the 'F4' list to few currencies in the standard BEx environment. There are couple of options to limit the 'F4' selections using the web template /BSP technology.

Refresh PL/SQL Report Region (not Page) using Select List value

Hi,
I've got a report region based on a 'PL/SQL function body returning a SQL query'which gets generated on selecting a value from a Select list item, The Select List action is 'Redirect and Set value' but this causes the whole page to refresh rather than just the report region. I've tried to refresh the report only using a dynamic action on the Select List item (Action now reset to 'None') but now the report is not appearing on choosing from the List. Can anyone suggest a solution that will allow me to refresh this report without refreshing the page? I am using APEX 4.2.2 and the report syntax is as follows:
DECLARE
v_statement VARCHAR2(500);
BEGIN
SELECT query_text
    INTO v_statement
   FROM sql_queries
   WHERE query_id = :P2_QUERY ;
   RETURN v_statement ;
END ;
where P2_QUERY is Select List Item,
regards,
Kevin.

KevinFitz wrote:
The report region being displayed is conditional on P2_QUERY item being NOT NULL. I assume the region not appearing is because the Action for the Select List Item is set to None and so P2_QUERY is always NULL.
No, the region is not appearing because it is conditional on P2_QUERY being NOT NULL. This means that the report region never exists on the page shown in the browser, so it can't be dynamically refreshed. (Dynamic refresh doesn't evaluate region conditions, and it only re-renders the report content, not the entire region.)
Remove the condition on the report region, check the refresh is working, then reconsider exactly what the requirements here are. If you want the region to appear only when P2_QUERY has a value, and you want it to be refreshed without submitting and re-rendering the page, then the region needs to be hidden rather than conditionally rendered, and shown via a dynamic action when P2_QUERY gets a value.
I tried adding an additional Set Value True Action for the DA event but got an error as listed above,
All irrelevant if Page Items to Submit on the region is used properly.

How to position a select list in the create region

Hello,
I would like to position a select list item in the create region, I think we can do that somehow using javascript but I don't have an idea how to make it.
Thanks in advance!

In this example you can see how to position the elements:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=31517:242
You don't need javascript for that. The element attributes are enough for that.

Select list with submit issue when they are referred in report region query

I have a page with a reporting region. Same region also has 3 different list items and depending on the value selected in each item, the report is refreshed. All the 3 list items are "Select list submit with submit"
Out of 3 items, 2 (say item2 and item3) are populated through dynamic LOV using the value in item1.
Additionally, when I select a default "ALL" value in in item1, I ignore values in item2 and item3.
With this background, I am a following issue:
1. I select a value other than Default value in item1 which filters the report.
2. Then I select some value in item2 which further shrinks the reports.
3. Now if I go back to item1 and select the default "All" value, the report is not refreshed with the new values of item1, item2 and item3. But it still shows the report based on value of item2 that I selected in step2.
How do I set the value of item2/item3 to null if value of item1 is default which is "All"
Any word of advise will be a great help!
Thanks,
Girish

Hi,
Make two computations each with the computation text NULL; or
Make one process with code like:
BEGIN
:P1_ITEM2 := NULL;
:P1_ITEM3 := NULL;
END;With the condition "Value of Item in Expression 1 = Expression 2"
Expression 1: P1_ITEM1
Expression 2: ALL
(or whatever the return value of ALL is...remember that this is case sensitive)

Diplaying region content based on multiple selection lists

Hi,
I have 3 select list on submit(P1A, P1B, P1C). And i have 3 report regions.
now this is the scenario. the 3 select lists are on submit.
the P1C is a dynamic list which shows contents based on the selection from P1A and/or P1B. so this is how my P1C LOV looks like
SELECT DISTINCT COLLECTION d, COLLECTION v
FROM viewvs
WHERE (YEAR = :P1A OR :P1A= '-1' )
AND (SEASON = :P1B OR :P1B= '-1' )
ORDER BY d i also have a 3 report regions which display result based on P1C selection.
now when i select P1C then i am able to see the 3 regions. and when i go back and change P1A and/or P1B, then P1C changes output. and the 3 regions should not show any data unless i again select one from P1C but, the 3 regions still hold on to the previous data.
what i am trying to say is, when the regions should display data only when P1C is selected, and when any of P1A or P1B is changed the regions should disappear and should not display any data, but instead the 3 regions show the previous data unless a new selection is done.
How can i clear the report region when everytime a new value is selected from P1A and/or P1B.
also the below is part of what i have entered in the report regions
IF :P1C != 'NULL' THEN
--DISPLAY THESE VALUES
END IF;---------
this is what i found the latest. whats happeneing is
when i select listA, listB-- listC gets populated and when i select from listC based on that value which gets stored in session state, report regions get displayed
but when i go back and change selection in listA, listB
by default listC session value should go to NULL, and only after i make a new selection, then with this new session value for listC, the report regions get displayed.
but when i checked the session value for listC, it still remains the same old value from the previous selection, because i haven't nade new selection and thats why the report regions are still showing the old result.
so how can i remove this session value for listC after displaying the report results.
Thanks,
Philip.

There is nothing wrong with your code, so I'd look elsewhere for the problem. Is this a direct copy of what you have on your page?
:P1_COMBO1 in ('Option 1', 'Option 2')
And
:P1_COMBO2 = 'Option Combo 2'And the page item values are exactly as you have in the quoted strings? You might run the page in debug and confirm the page item values are exact.

Displaying region based on multiple selection list

Hi,
this is my scenario.
i had 3 drop down selection lists A, B, C. based on A and/or B, C is populated. and when i select one from C, i display a report regions.
i am able to achieve this, and when in the selection list C, I have a null value as "- All -"
so when i select "- All -" then the report region should not show anything.
so in my report region query this is what i gave
DECLARE
q varchar2(2000); --query
w varchar2(2000); --where clause
we varchar2(1) := 'N'; --where condition
BEGIN
q := 'SELECT * from SCCATCH';
IF :P1_STATION != 'NULL' THEN
w := 'COLLECTION = :P1_STATION';
we := 'Y';
END IF;
IF we = 'Y' THEN
q := q ||' WHERE '|| w ;
END IF;
RETURN q;
END;
where :P1_STATION is the item value of C.
now what is not working is when i select A, B then C is populated and whne i select C, the report region is displayed.
now when i go back and select A, B , then C is again populated with a different C list, but the report region still remains the same showing the previous result.
what i really want to do is. when i select list A,B and then C, report get displayed. and when i go back and change sleection in A,B and then obviously C gets changed, then the report region should not show anything untill i select one from C.
i understand that there is some basic things i need to do to fix this, but i am not able to fix this.
Can you help me please.
Thanks,
Philip.

OK, you didn't have the background process as an on demand process.
In the MRU and MRD process, you were referencing the wrong variables for the count. (as in deb's case, it's p176, but in your case its p35).
In the javascript function, the call that is supposed to assign : TAB_CASCADING_ITEM a value, isn't working (I believe).

Item(select list) with LOV and Report with link = changed value item

Hello,
On one page I have:
- Item 'P_name' (select list) with LOV to select name of a person;
- Items 'factory' and Report 'factory'(standard created with 'Form with Report' on the same page).
Situation:
All works fine. I selected first a LOV Item 'P_name' (say 'Jane'). But....
Only when I select a record (to change the values) from the report 'factory' then LOV Item 'P_name' become empty. Report used a link to the same page to fill the report items 'factory' and make also the LOV item empty.
Question:
I have made a process that write the name 'Jane' to table.
I see two possibilities:
- LOV Item value => fill the LOV item with 'Jane' from the table before region. Is this possible?
- Report => What is the buttonname of reportlink? I can use this name in the processes.
Thanks Walter!

1) what i meant was for you to test this ridiculously huge LOV outside of htmldb, but it occurred to me last night that you could, in fact, be hitting a limit of ours. after some poking around, i have confirmed that. select list items in htmldb are currently limited to 10,000 rows. this was initially done for performance reasons, but they're now opening up the restriction. if you really need to work with that many rows where the user is allowed to pick from a set of values, consider using a popup item type instead. it'd help your app performance as well (in my test cases, it stank to have to wait for my 10k select list rows to come down to my browser).
2) sorry to not have been more clear about this, but when you set your item's "Source Type" back to "Database Column", you'd have to specify that column in the "Source or value expression" field. also, you can't put a sql query into that "Post Calculation Computation" field. as i said before, "you can take a look at the attribute-level help for that field to see implementation examples."
3) stick with "Always..." for now if you're using our auto-dml process(es)

Too big select lists

Any advice for what to do when you are using a select list and the dynamic query that it builds upon might some time in the future be too big for it?
For example I am currently using a select list for all projects registered in a CRM application. What about when this list grows to more than it can hold as a result of the customer adding 300-400 projects (I guess there is a 4000 char limit in total for this page item)?
Regards
runski

Hi
I suppose that you could use a cascading LOV and then separate your projects by category, even this could lead to lists that are too long to be easily usable though.
My suggestion would actually be to have a searchable report region of your projects and their attributes with something like a link column that the user can select to to to another page, populating an item with the project id.
Cheers

Need a little JavaScript help with disabling a select list in a tabular frm

Hello Folks
Here's the scenario.
I have a tabular form which, subject to the setting of one Select List, I want to disable/enable another.
I have got this far and it will disable a text item but not a select list..
This is in the HTML header section for the page...
<script type="text/javascript">
function test(pThis)
var currIndex = $('select[name="'+pThis.name+'"]').index(pThis);
if (pThis.value=='2') {
$('input[name="f02"]')[currIndex].style.backgroundColor = "LightGrey";
$('input[name="f02"]')[currIndex].disabled=true;
The report region is defined as...
SELECT apex_item.text(1, ir.iot_rebate_type_id) iot_rebate_type_id
,apex_item.select_list_from_lov_xl(2,ir.rebate_currency,'LOV_CURRENCY_CODES') rebate_currency
FROM iot_rebate ir
WHERE ir.iot_agreement_id = :P303_IOT_AGREEMENT_ID
The iot_rebate_type_id column has an Column Element Attribute set to...
onchange="javascript:test(this);"
As I say, if I define the rebate currency as a text item, the javascript works fine.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Many thanks

Hi Vikram.
That's great.
I have the relevant items being set to diabled & grey (and also the reverse of this if the driving select list is changed back).
As this is being used in a Tabular form, if I am calling pre-existing records which should be displayed with two of the select lists disabled, can you point me in the right direction to show the relevent select lists as disabled when the records are returned from the database?If you are using apex_item API set the disabled property into p_attributes parameter conditionally using a case statement in you sql statement
Another option is you can use some javascript to loop through the tabular form array that runs on the onload of the page.
Finally, if some columns are disabled, this invaludates the MRU process on the page. Is there a way to submit the page with some fields in the disabled state?Do that as per Roel's suggestion for this issue.
Any input/pointers much appreciated.
