Multiple Parameter form windows

Hello,
can i open multiple parameter form windows for different reports from forms?
Both forms and reports are 11G.
thanks.

Not sure if you got a fix for this or not yet, but the easy way is to create multiple user parameters entry boxes, kinda like p_item, p_item1, p_item2 and then in the SQL, ITEM=p_item or ITEM=p_item1 etc.

REP-0546 when displaying parameter form

Hi,
here is my issue:
when i run the report from forms with paramform=no the report works fine and produces valid output.
However when parameter paramform=yes the parameter form window comes up with error:
REP-0546: The parameter value is invalid
I am puzzled.
Any suggestions?

How to Change the Size of the Parameter Form in Report6i

hi
Does any one know how to change the size of the "PARAMETER FORM" in Report6i.

Hi,
You can change it in the "Parameter Form Window" property of the Report Object.
In the object navigator, select the Report object and open its property palette. Under "Parameter Form Window" you can change the "width" and "height" properties.

Paremeter form Window Properties

hi
i would like to ask is it possible to disable the
maximize ,minimize and horizontal and vertical scroll bar of
the parameter form window ( reports 6i) while running a report
sincerely
rajesh

Create a shortcut for your forms designer. In the properties of the shortcut set the Run property to maximized. When you open the designer, if the object navigator window is minimized, then maximize it and close the application. Open it again and you should be all set.

How to hide the window of Runtime Parameter Form?

I have a form and I call a report from this form.I have passed some parameters to this report.Before the browser of reports appear the window of Runtime Parameter Form.I want to hide this window of Runtime Parameter Form but I don't know how.

Parameter form - how to enter multiple values, e.g. IN (:p_status)

On a parameter form, how would I enter in multiple parameters at reports runtime. In my query I have

I always get 0 records, no matter what punctuation I put in between the data on the Parameter form. What is the correct way for doing this?

Hi,
Try using
IN (&p_status)

Report 9i parameter form problem, is it a bug?

Hi all,
I am using Dev 9i IDS, rel. 9.0.2, running in windows 2000. I've been converting my forms and reports from previous versions to 9i, and I came across an issue with the report's parameter form.
First, I thought it could be a problem during the conversion , but to make sure I developed a new form and a new report straight in the 9i IDS suite, using Scott's DEPT table. The new form is simple having a button to call the new report which is based on the DEPT table and accepts an user's input for a dept. no.
The same problem occurs:
- in the form, if I set PARAMFORM=HTML then it could not open the report parameter form, hence the report could not run.
- if I set PARAMFORM=YES, then the report parameter form is displayed, then I can enter a value for the department number. BUT, when I clicked the Submit Query button the report failed, and I received the following error:
REP-52007: Parameter form format error.

I have no problem integrating others reports that don't have parameter form using run_report_object. And, I've checked and tried different ways of manipulating the parameter value using to_number in the report's where clause etc., it never worked.
I guess the only workaround is to create the parameter form in Forms builder. Is there other ways of doing it , or is it a bug of the 9i IDS suites that needs to be fixed?
- Thanks

Hi Frank,
There's a note published on Metalink, note 139546.1, showing a workaround to thi problem. but
- it is rather lengthy and confusing, may not be practical .
- it only applies to Forms and Reports 6i.
However, it shows that the problem comes from 2 items in the source code of the parameter form which is produced by the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT built-in:
1. <form method=post action=""> where action contains an empty string, it needs to have a valid entry, e.g.
<form method=post action="http://hostname:port/cgi/rwci60.exe?">
2. <input name="hidden_run_parameters" type=hidden value=""> where hidden value is also empty. It should contains all parameter values passed to the report parameter form, e.g.
<input name="hidden_run_parameters" type=hidden value="report%3test+destype%3Dcache+userid%Dscott.....">
And that is what I found, but I am reluctant to try it in 9i IDS, hoping Oracle has a better solution than that.
Tho.

Calling a JSP Report From HTML parameter form

Hi,
I m trying to run a JSP Report from a HTML parameter Form. The JSP reports requires a parameter named userid in the URL with a valid value for database connection.
eg. URL "http://win2kdb.oracle9iis.com:7778/repdemo/examples/Tools/fm_crdinf.jsp?userid=sysapps/system@trt1". We have created a variable on the server named "parmformjsp" with a value "sysapps/system@trt1". Now i use this variable in the URL as follows, eg. "http://win2kdb.oracle9iis.com:7778/repdemo/examples/Tools/fm_crdinf.jsp?parmformjsp".
When i use this URL to call another JSP report from a JSP report it works fine, but the same does not work when calling a JSP report from a HTML form.
the code for HTML parameter form calling a report is as follows,
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Parameter Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Parameter Form</p>
<form name="form1" method="GET"
action="http://win2kdb.oracle9iis.com:7778/repdemo/examples/Tools/fm_custrns.jsp?parmformjsp">
<p>From Date<input type="text" name="p_fmdate" size="20"></p>
<p>To Date<input type="text" name="p_todate" size="20"></p>
<p> </p>
<p><input type="submit" ><input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2"></p>
</form>
<p> </p>
</body>
</html>
If i create an input parameter named "userid" with a valid database connection value, remove the ?parmformjsp part from the action URL then it works fine. How can i call the JSP report using the parmformjsp variable name instead of using the "userid" clause in the URL.Can anyone suggest any workaround....
Thanks & Best Regards,
Unmesh

do it like this...
DECLARE
pl_id ParamList := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
BEGIN
IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
END IF;
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'ROUTE_CARD_CONTROL', TEXT_PARAMETER, :ROUTE_CARD.ROUTE_CARD_CONTROL);
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'NO');
Run_Product(REPORTS, 'D:\STL_FINAL\CHPREPORTS_FINAL\ROUTE_CARD.REP', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
END; what exactly happens when you call the report. if its showing the blank page... may be you are not passing the right parameter name. cross-check that your parameter name in the report is 'ROUTE_CARD_CONTROL'.

Help: Parameter form related

Hi,
I am working a set of FORM LETTER reports. I'd like to include a parameter form so when user enter multiple ID numbers separated by comma ',', the REPORT will print multiple letters. In my query, I included a line of constraint as:
where ID IN (:P_ID)
It did not work. It works if I put it as:
where ID = :P_ID
But this would only print one letter at a time.
Thank you in advance
Jimmy

Will you be more specific on this?
The problem I have is in SQL, doing this:
SELECT ID FROM TABLE_ID
WHERE ID IN (&P_ID);
is perfectly OK.
However, if P_ID is passed as parameter in the REPORTS query, it does not work. In the REPORTS that I am working on having a where clause as:
WHERE ID IN (:P_ID)
the parameter is passed as: :P_ID: 267, 365 etc.
Thank you in advance.
Jimmy

How can I change LOV Font in a parameter form?

Dear friends
I made a report with reports 6i and in it's parameter form I placed an LOV based on a query and I want to change it's font, but it doesn't change anyway. I think it's default font is System.
The problem is getting more serious when I use arabic windows, because it shows arabic characters as english extended characters and make the LOV unreadable. I would be so glad if someone could help me.
Thanx.
B. sadati

Hi,
I think changing the font in the Paramater form for the LOV is not possible. Long back there was
an enhancement request filed for this , i don't think that is implemented yet.
Prabably you have to have as a workaround is make a pramform out of Oracle Forms.
cheers :-))

Dynamic lovs in parameter forms ... Is this possible?

Hi
I am using report developer 10g on windows xp.
I need a cascading prompt style dynamic LOVs in my report parameter form.
The first LOV displays a set of values (say for eg. dept list). The second LOV will display another list, based on the value chosen by the user in the first LOV (Eg. List of employee names in that dept).
My first LOV select statement may look like below for the user parameter say P_DEPT
select deptno from dept;
My sencod LOV select stmnt may look like below for the user parameter P_EMP
select ename from emp where deptno = :P_DEPT
Each time I try to set the second LOV, report developer complains "Bind variables not allowed in select statement"
Same error msg comes if I reference the first user parameter(P_DEPT) as a lexical parmaeter.
How do I acheive the above in report parameter form? Any help is appreciated greatly...
Thanks

Hi Brad,
Thanks for the reply. I had almost given up hope on receiving replies to this message.
I do agree that it is simpler (and a lot striaght forward) to just use forms to develop dynamic LOVs of cascading prompt style, that is required in my app. But in our shop, we have integrated forms and reports in such a way, that all the report parameters are handled by report developer's own parameter form, rather than coding a separate logic on the forms side to handle the report parameters(as this has to be done on the forms side for every report that we generate, We thought it would be better to use the reports developer to handle the parameter input and then pass the .rdf to forms app). Currently in all our app, the parameter form generated by the report developer is rendered as HTML form on the browser (when the concerned rdf file is called within the forms app) and by submitting this we get the report output)
Hence I am very keen to get this done somehow on the report developer side.
I do hope I get some input on this. Also, its a little surprising that such a simple feature is not readily avalibale in the report parameter form. I hope oracle report developer team is reading this message...:)
Thanks
Suma

REP-3131: Parameter form boilerplate text cannot fit on the page

Dear members,
I am getting the following error while running the report :
REP-3131: Parameter form boilerplate text cannot fit on the page
can any body tell me how to correct it. I need to add a extra field in the standard oracle report "RECEIPT TRAVELER". when i was trying to run it in report builder 6i i got the above mentioned error. please give ur quick replies.
thanks
regards
sandeep

When you add your new field into the parameter mask, please check, if the value is too
long for your parameter mask site. Make a double click on the master attributes of your
report in the object navigator and look at the size of the parameter mask window.
Make it bigger, if you want (vertically und horizontally size).
Check the length of the text of your parameter mask title, too.

Values in one field based on another field in the paper parameter form.....

Hi All,
I have two fields in the parameter form. One named 'employee number' and the other named 'document number'. Now, there are multiple document numbers for every employee. I'd like the document numbers to be displayed automatically as an LOV or would like to give the user some help when the employee number is entered manually. Please let me know if this is possible in Oracle reports. I read somewhere that I'll have to call the values from the form. if that is the case. then please let me know how to go about it....
Regards,
Shri

Hi Hari,
Considering both Market Segment and Application fields are dropdown,
1) define an event for the first dropdown in the get_p method ie., Market Segment field
2) In the get_v method of the second dropdown get the value of hte 1st dropdown and filter your field accordingly
Note: The reason for defining an event in (1) is just to do a server submit.. its actually act as a dummy event if you dont want to handle your logic here
Hope this was helpful.
Best Regards,
Lakshminarayana
