Multiple Select List not returning multiple values

I have created a Multiple Select List, and the manual says that when multiple values are selected and the page is submmitted (I'm using a GO button), the multiple values are put into the ITEM field, separated with a colon . However, whenever I select multiple entries in my list, it only ever returns a value for the first item (like a single select list).
Does anybody know what I may have missed ? I'm still fairly new to this stuff, so I'm hoping it's fairly simple!
thanks.
p.s I'm using a dynamic list of values.

Andy / Scott,
Sorry, please bear with me ... still new to this.
I have a multi select list item in page 2, called P2_MULTI_LIST. When the page is submitted, I no longer physically pass it to page 3, but how would page 3 pick up the value ? Do I need to set up a P3_MULTI_LIST item in page3 and set that item to the P2_MULTI_LIST value, or do I reference P2_MULTI_LIST directly in my Page3 SQL query ?
Also, if I then want to propogate the value in P2_MULTI_LIST down to another page from page3, via a link in a report, is this possible ?
thanks
Tim

Multiple select list not retaining the value for the first time

Hi,
I have a 3 select list depends on each other. select_list1 -- > select_list2 --> multiselect3. I have use denes example to create them.
For the first time when I select values from 1,2,3 and runs a report based on it, it works fine but *does not retain the selected value in multiselect3.
for the second time submit the process, it retails value in multiselect3. Please tell me if you came across this issue before
Here is the code.
function get_select_list_xml_VL(pThis,pSelect,pSelect1,pSelect2){
var l_Return = null;
var l_Select = html_GetElement(pSelect);

if(document.all){
pSelect.options.add(l_Opt);
l_Opt.innerText = pContent;

Please ask any question if you dont understand about the problem.

Select List not returning return_value

Greetings
I have a field on a page that is Display As: Select List.
My list of values definition, (as generated by the Create Dynamic List of Values wizard)
select DNAME display_value, DEPTNO return_value
from DEPT
order by 1
When I run my page and select from the select list it returns the value of dname rather than deptno.
Am I missing something, because of the format of the list of values definition I was expecting the return value of deptno.
If I change my display type to PopupLOV, the return value is the deptno, so why is it that the select list is not returning deptno?
Any help is appreciated
Regards
Mark

Jeff,
I read Mark's statement as saying:
Select "Accounting" from select list
Value returned displays "Accounting"
Value stored in the database is "Accounting"
which seems very odd. Whenever I've used these, it displays Accounting but the item value becomes "10".
Good luck Mark!

Multiple selection list and passing that value to oracle reports

Hi
I need to create a multiple selection list and then based on use selection, I need to pass that value to oracle reports. Can any one help with steps on how I can do this. Thanks

Hi
Concatenate the multiple values into a string separated by comma and then pass that string to report as a parameter.
In report query, you have to use the lexical parameter using ' & '

How To? Select List item return 2 values (high and a low)

Can anyone suggest how to make a select list drop box return 2 values for my query.
eg:
Pick from
Last Week
Last Month
Last Year
return high/lo values of
5-feb-06 12-feb-06
01-jan-06 31-jan-06
01-jan-05 31-dec-06
Such that my query can refer to it as
select *
from tabx
where dte > :parm_lo
and dte < :parm_hi
You get the idea ..

I haven't tested this at all, so it may not work, but the first thing that springs to mind is not returning the two dates, base it on the current date, i.e. have your select list return something like -
Last Week - Return 'W'
Last Month - Return 'M'
Last Year - Return 'Y'
then use a query something like -
SELECT *
FROM tabx
WHERE dte >
          CASE v ('ITEM')
             WHEN 'W'
                THEN TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'd')
             WHEN 'M'
                THEN TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'Mon')
             WHEN 'Y'
                THEN TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'yyyy')
             ELSE dte - 1
          ENDLike I said, completely untested and may not work...you may also have to play around with the boundary values (NLS settings too perhaps).

Dynamic Select List not displaying correct value

Hi there!
I have a page with a dynamic repeat region.
As I press one record I get up all the details based on id on an edit page.
The problem is that the info that is inserted via a Select List is not displaying correct on edit page.
All the other values are correct, also the values in the repeat region on index page,
but the value from the Select List on edit page is just displaying the initially selected item.
Have tried using SELECT DISTINCT in the SQL statement, but no luck.
Any other ideas?

Ok, here goes the top down approach...
In the HTML header of my page, i have this reference to a js file containing the javascript - <script src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#108.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Then in an HTML Region I have the following code to create the divs that will be shown and hidden - <div id="divREGION" class="divs">Select region to get list of countries.</div>
<div id="divCOUNTRY" class="divs">Select country to get list of cities.</div>
<div id="divCITY" class="divs">Select city and then press "Get Employees". </div>
Note that these divs contain static content. You may be able to create dynamic content for these divs by creating dynamic query regions and putting div tags around the region (i havent tried this, it may require template modification).
The select boxes have this code in the "HTML form elements attributes" - onFocus="javascript:showHideDiv(this,true)" onBlur="javascript:showHideDiv(this,false)"
This onFocus and onBlur call the showHideDiv() function, passing in the object reference of the select box and a true/false to show/hide the related div.
The actual javascript function that is contained in the 108.js file is:
function showHideDiv(objThis, inBool){
     var divid = "div" + objThis.id.substring(3);
     if (inBool) {
     ShowDiv(divid);
     else {
HideDiv(divid);
That function in turn calls either the ShowDiv() or HideDiv() functions, depending on the true or false, passing in the ID of the div to be changed...
function ShowDiv(divid){
     eval('document.all'+ '["' + divid + '"]' + '.style' +'.display = "inline"');
function HideDiv(divid){
     eval('document.all'+ '["' + divid + '"]' + '.style' +'.display = "none"');
Hope this helps.

How does a multiple-select list box record its value?

I assumed that the value of a MSLB would be based on all the values selected, similar to SharePoint column?
I have a MSLB with 15 choices and I want to hide a section if 2 of the MSLB options are not selected. I have tried a rule on the section using
MSLB Doesn't Contain "AUD-Public Co" OR
MSLB Doesn't Contain "AUD-Public Accountable" THEN HIDE.
This doesn't work, if I change it to Is Equal To, it works but it is in reverse to what I want. If I change it to Is Not Equal To, it doesn't work at all, it stays hidden all the time.
I created a Text box to be set when the MSLB is checked and it only displays the most recent selection and doesn't clear when all items in the MSLB are cleared. I read a few other postings that were trying to concat into a textbox but this is still only
showing the last selected item.
I just want to hide the section if 2 of the MSLB are NOT checked. I am hoping I don't have write a rule using Is Equal To for every option?
Stunpals - Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties.

My next question would be, if I promote this field to a column in a SP Doc Lib, how will it be displayed. We are hoping it would be the same as multi select choice field on a regular SP list so we can filter by any of the values?
Or perhaps there is a better way to accomplish this?

Oracle 11g stored procs: SELECT ALL_ARGUMENTS not returning certain values in certain cases

I'm doing a select on the ALL_ARGUMENTS like:
SELECT count(*) FROM all_arguments WHERE owner LIKE 'MySchema' ESCAPE '/' AND object_name LIKE 'MyStoredProc' ESCAPE '/' AND package_name LIKE 'MyPackage' ESCAPE '/';
Sometimes, after connecting to the DB after a certain period of time, I get a result = 0, althought the Stored Procedure is there. Immediatelly after that I retry, and I get result = 2.
Why is that? Does the SELECT recompile the stored proc?

I'm surprised that you get anything if you use that query.
Oracle considers object names to be uppercase unless the name is enclosed in double quotes. So there would be no schemas with a name 'MySchema' since the name would actually be 'MYSCHEMA'.

Short answer, use the apex_util.string_to_table to convert to a table; then you can either iterate through the table to generate a string of names, or accomplish the same with a bulk operation.

Encapsulate all this within a pl/sql function.

Multiple Select List Box default value ysing Fx or Code

Hello,
If anybody could help me in figuring out how to set default or customized values (checked) for a multiple select list box in infopath based on a values in a secondary data connection using the fx function or code, instead of manually typing in text in the
default value function, it would be really helpful. Have been stuck for eternity in this
I have a temp table now which has each student name and the subject separtely
something like this
Student Name Subject
AA
English
AA Maths
So that in my infopath form if I choose a student name in a drop
down box the multiple selection list box has the values of the subject chosen by the student checked

Hi,
Please check the link below and see if it can meet your requirement:
http://basquang.wordpress.com/2010/03/29/cascading-drop-down-list-in-sharepoint-2010-using-infopath-2010/
Here is the design for your scenario:
List1 for subject name
List2 for student and subject (just as your temp table)
Then you could create cascading drop-down in InfoPath form.

InfoPath 2010 - Multiple Selection List Box - Rule Does Not Run When Unchecking Value

I have a multiple selection list box on a form. I have a rule that sets the value of another field. There is not condition. Just any time item is checked or unchecked the value of the other field should
change. This works when checking an item in the list box but not when unchecking the item in the list box. My question is - do rules not fire for a multiple selection list box when unchecking an item?

Hi,
I have tested in my lab environment, the rules seemed only fire for the latest checking action, and it did not fire when uncheck multiple-selection list box. Here is a workaround for your reference:
http://www.infopathdev.com/forums/p/17850/62269.aspx
However, I’d recommend you use check box instead, since it is much easier to set rule according to value of it. We can set it as true when we check the box, and set it as false when we uncheck it as below:
Then it is simple and clear to make rule according to the value of check box.

Multiple Select List looping thru PL/SQL function body returning SQL query

Hi,
I have a Multiple Select List. I want to loop through the values from the Select List and process them in a PL/SQL function body returning a SQL query. Currently, my code only returns the SQL SELECT results of one item in the select list. How do I change my code to make it return the results of all of the items in the select list? (I tested it and it is definitely picking up all the values in the select list).

Thank you,

Laura,
First, I would be careful of introducing SQL Injection possibilities. Any time I see
'Select ... ' || :P123_FOO || ' ... '
I worry about sql injection. In your case you are converting :P50_SELECTED_INSTRUMENTS into selected_items and then selected_items into s. So when I see
'WHERE TO_CHAR(orig_geo_loc_sys) LIKE ''' || s ||'%'' '||
I think, "I could use sql Injection and hack this."
So, I would do some validation on :P50_SELECTED_INSTRUMENTS or some other method to avoid this.
I'm not certain I understand your query. Do you really intend to allow the user to select the beginning of a string and then find all rows that start with that string? Or, do you just want to let them find when it matches the string. This is one way if you want to do matching:
DECLARE
selected_items HTMLDB_APPLICATION_GLOBAL.VC_ARR2;
s VARCHAR2(32767);
q varchar2(32767);
BEGIN
-- Change the : separate string to be comma separated with quoted strings
s := '''' || replace(:P50_SELECTED_INSTRUMENTS, ',', ''',''')|| '''' ;
-- htp.p('COUNT: '||selected_items.count);
q:= 'SELECT '||
'SUBSTR(orig_geo_loc_sys,1,INSTR(orig_geo_loc_sys,''-'')-1) AS INSTRUMENT, '||
'SUBSTR(orig_geo_loc_sys,INSTR(orig_geo_loc_sys,''-'')+1, LENGTH'||
' (orig_geo_loc_sys)) AS ORIG_LINENUM, '||
'sum(orig_intrl) orig_intrl, '||
'sum(orig_extrl) orig_extrl, '||
'sum(recv_intrl) recv_intrl, '||
'sum(recv_extrl) recv_extrl '||
'FROM line_usage_sum_view '||
'WHERE TO_CHAR(orig_geo_loc_sys) in (' || s ||' ) '||
--'WHERE TO_CHAR(orig_geo_loc_sys) LIKE ''2213003%'' '||
'AND switch_id = ''' || :P1_SWITCH_ID || ''' ' ||
'AND call_start_date > TO_DATE(''30-NOV-1999'') ' ||
'AND call_clear_time > TO_DATE(''30-NOV-1999'') '||
'AND '||
:SORTFIELD||' BETWEEN '||
'TO_DATE(:STARTDATE,''dd-MON-YYYY HH24:MI'') AND '||
'TO_DATE(:STOPDATE, ''dd-MON-YYYY HH24:MI'') '||
'GROUP BY GROUPING SETS (orig_geo_loc_sys)';
-- htp.p('SQL query: '||q);
RETURN q;
END;
If you want to do something more like you originally stated, try this:
DECLARE
selected_items HTMLDB_APPLICATION_GLOBAL.VC_ARR2;
s VARCHAR2(20);
q varchar2(32767);

Multiple Select List does not Refresh with Dynamic Action

All,
Scenario:
Using APEX 4.2.2, I have a Select List page item (P4_SPONSOR) set to allow multiple values which has a dynamic LOV to populate the list. What I would like to do is highlight the display values based on another page item's value (P4_DRIVER_ID). When I set the source of P4_SPONSOR to static text, such as a delimited string of 1:2:3:4, any display values where the return values are equal to the static text are highlighted when the page loads.
Problem:
The problem lies in trying to use a query as a source for P4_SPONSOR which is filtered based on the other page item, P4_DRIVER_ID. For instance, my SQL Query (returning colon separated values) returns the same as the static text noted above. In the query's WHERE clause, I specify that the driver's ID is equal to P4_DRIVER_ID:
SELECT sponsor_id
FROM sponsors_drivers_xref
WHERE driver_id = :P4_DRIVER_ID;
This, as I understand it, would necessitate a refresh of P4_SPONSOR whenever the value of P4_DRIVER_ID changes. So, I have a Dynamic Action that does just that. When executed on the page, I can see the P4_SPONSOR multiple select list actually refresh, but none of the display values become highlighted.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
-Seth.

Seth,
A dynamic action refresh of your select list will refresh the list of values (this is what you are seeing), it will not refresh the value of the item itself. In fact, it will remove any values that you had already selected. To refresh the value you will need to add additional dynamic actions.
Create another dynamic action with:
Event: After Refresh
Selection Type: Item(s)
Item(s): P4_SPONSOR
If this was a normal select list you could just create a Set Value action and use your query to set the value of the select list. Since this is a multiple select list your will need to get your colon delimited value first and then use some javascript to set the values of your select list.
Create an hidden page item name P4_SPONSOR_TEMP.
Add a true action to your new dynamic action:
Action: Set Value
Set Type: SQL Statement
SQL Statement:
SELECT sponsor_id
FROM sponsors_drivers_xref
WHERE driver_id = :P4_DRIVER_ID;
Page Items to Submit: P4_DRIVER_ID
Selection Type: Item(s)
Item(s): P4_SPONSOR_TEMP
Add another true action to your new dynamic action:
Action: Set Value
Set Type: JavaScript Expression
JavaScript Expression:
$("#P4_SPONSOR_TEMP").val().split(":")
Selection Type: Item(s)
Item(s): P4_SPONSOR

Setting current values in Multiple Select List in SQL Query based Report

Hi,
I have a report based on a sql query that contains a multiple select list. Unfortunately I cannot get the multiple select list to display the current values (p_value) correctly. I have created a page item, :p311_current_versions, that is set using a pre-header process and it returns a value with a colon delimited format e.g. '10.1.2.1.0:10.1.2.2.0'. Then this item is used in the sql query to set the current value (p_value) of the apex_item.select_list_from_query function. However when the table is displayed, instead of having two entries, 10.1.2.1.0 and 10.1.2.2.0 selected, it has an extra entry '10.1.2.1.0:10.1.2.2.0' selected.
Here is my code:
select distinct a.product, a.version from (
select distinct
apex_item.display_and_save(2,product)||apex_item.hidden(1,env_product_id) PRODUCT,
APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_QUERY(3,decode(product, 'HTTP Server' , :p311_current_versions, version), 'SELECT distinct version d, version r FROM ebs_tech_stack where
product ='''||PRODUCT||'''',
decode(PRODUCT, 'HTTP Server' ,'multiple="multiple" style="width:170px"','style="width:170px"'),
'NO') as version
from ebs_environment_tech_stack
where environment_id = :p311_umgebung_id) a order by a.product
If anyone can help me figure out how to set the current values correctly I'd be really grateful!!
Thanks in advance,
Jean

Jean,
I don't think this is possible using the apex_item package. The select_list_from_query function accepts only a single value for the second parameter.
