Need help in sorting a column in classic report

Hi I am trying to create and classic report and I need to do sorting on the columns. Also I am using a select list to filter the records in the column. When I am not using the select list the sorting is working but when I am using the selcet list and select the sort option then it is showing error. Can anyone help...
Thnaks,
Rik

Select lists prior to v4 will sort on the return value. In v4, it sorts on the display value (as you're probably expecting). There's nothing really for you to fix here except if it's really important, see if you can get upgraded to v4.

The Record Sort Expert appears when you choose the Record Sort Expert command from the Report menu.
Use the Record Sort Expert to define how you want the records in your report to be sorted for printing. You can add and remove a sort field and define the sort direction (ascending or descending) for the data in your report.
In my version Record Sort appears as a A over a Z with Arrows pointing from A to Z, and Z to A. It is next to group expert, which looks like a mountain with an arrow pointing up. Both are on the "Expert" tool bar.

Dynamic action on report columns is possible but not as straigth forward as on items.
First you can't select "report colum" as selection type for the dynamic action. Use jQuery Selector instead.
See the [url http://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/]jquery documentation on possible selectors.
I prefer to use something like[name='f01'].
Use the developer tools of your browser to see the name of your report column.
Because you can't submit a single report cell value with the action "Set value".
You have to use a combination of a action "Execute javascript" and a ondemand process.
The javascript code is something like
var elementId,idParts,row;
/*Determine the id of the element that has triggered the dynamic action*/
elementId = String(this.triggeringElement.id);
/*The id of a item in a report column consists of to parts the name and the rownumber*/
idParts = elementId.split('_');
/*The second part is the rownumber we need that to set the value in the right row later on*/
row = idParts[idParts.length-1];
/*This calls the ondemand process*/
apex.server.process ( "MANAGER_EMAIL", {x01:$v(this.triggeringElement),x02:row}, {success: function( pData ) { $s(pData.r,pData.d) }} );apex.server.process(name ondemand process,values to be submitted,options)
{x01:$v(this.triggeringElement),x02:row}
This submits the values of the triggering element and the row on which all the action is happening.
x01 refers to apex_application.g_x01
{success: function( pData ) { $s(pData.r,pData.d) }}
The succes option defines a function that is executed upon succefull completion of the ondemand process.
The ondemand process returns a json object. Which we can refer to in the javascript function with pData.
In our ondemand process we are defining the json object as having to properties.
d and r . d is the display value and r is the id of the element to be set.
$s(r,d) is a [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21676/javascript_api.htm#CDEEIGFH]apex javascript function that sets the value d to item with id r.
Now the server side code. This is an application process with process point Ondemand.
Which is something like this.
declare
cursor c_emp(b_employee_id in number)
is
    select emp.email
    from   oehr_employees emp
    where emp.employee_id = b_employee_id
col_emp_email oehr_employees.email%type;
v_regel       number;
begin
/*Get the employee email*/
open c_emp(apex_application.g_x01);
fetch c_emp
into col_emp_email;
close c_emp;
/*Calculate the rownumber do this only if the triggering element is a popup lov*/
v_regel := to_number(apex_application.g_x02) + 1;
/*Create the json header*/
APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.PRINT_JSON_HTTP_HEADER;
/*Print out the json object*/
sys.htp.p('{"d":"'||col_emp_email||'","r":"f03_'||lpad(to_char(v_regel),4,'0')||'"}');
end; For specification of the JSON notation see [url http://www.json.org/]http://www.json.org/
To see this in action I have set up a [url http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=VANBAREN_FORUM_TRY_OUT:TBDA:0&c=VANBAREN]demo.
Change the manager and the manager email will change.
I hope this is enough to get you started.
If you have a problem in translating the above code to your specific situation set something up on apex.oracle.com. Then the help can be more specific to.

How to fix Width of column in classic report.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm working an example in APEX 4.2 so YMMV (your milage may vary!).
For Classic Reports, where the Column Attributes "Display As" is set to Display as Text (escape special characters ...:
1) I find that Column width and Element Width setting have no effect to make the column smaller or larger.
2) Here is one way that works:
- In the Region's Region Definition, under Attributes give the Static ID a name (no spaces), say, class-report.
- In the columns you want to affect, place "<div>#ENAME#</div>" in the columns Column Formatting "HTML Expression". Where "ENAME" here is the actual column name.
I'm using the EMP table as an example.
- Finally, in the page's HTML Header put, for example
<style>
#classic-report td.data[headers="ENAME"] div {
width: 200px;
color: blue;
#classic-report td.data[headers="JOB"] div {
width: 50px;
white-space: nowrap;
word-wrap: break-word;
</style>This makes the ENAME column wider and the JOB column smaller and wraps it.
Much more could be said. If you tweak you will find you can also affect spacing above, below and right/left of the data.
#classic-report .report-standard th.header {
border-left: #9fa0a0 1px solid;
padding: 2px 3px 4px 5px; /* top right bottom left margins */
font-size: 11px;
font-weight: bold;
vertical-align: bottom;
#classic-report .report-standard td.data {
border-left: #9fa0a0 1px solid;
padding: 3px 4px 5px 6px;
font-size: 9px;
}Does this help?

Need help on getting the column names of Tabletype

I have a table Mapping with the following values: This Mapping table contains the table names (in Tabname) and the column names(colname) of various tables and values(ValuesTobeFilled) for the columns.
I have to insert into the tables present in the Tabname field with the values present in the ValuesTobeFilled in the columns present in the Colname field.
Note: The Mapping table need not contain all the columns of the base table. The columns that are not present can be filled with null. And this mapping table is not fixed i.e. rows can be inserted/deleted frequently.
Sample values in mapping table:
Tabname                        Colname        ValuesTobeFilled
sample_items     Eno     Corresponding Expression to get the values from XML input
sample_items     Ename     Corresponding Expression to get the values from XML input
XXX     YYY     Corresponding Expression to get the values from XML input
Before filling in the actual tables, I have to store the entire data temporarily and I have used a tabletype declared as follows:
TYPE T_sample_items IS TABLE OF sample_items%ROWTYPE INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
l_sample_items T_sample_items;
Where the table sample_items have the following columns:
•     Eno
•     Ename
•     Eaddress
•     Eemail
So, the tabletype should be filled as:
Eno     Ename     Eaddress     EEmail
1     XXX     -     -
I have declared a cursor to select the values from mapping table and I need to fill in the ValuesTobeFilled values to the corresponding table.
CURSOR c_xpath (c_tname mapping.TABNAME%type)
IS
select * from mapping where tabname = c_tname;
CURSOR c_tables
IS
SELECT DISTINCT TABNAME FROM mapping;
FOR crsr IN c_tables
LOOP
p_tname := CRSR.TABNAME;
FOR csr IN c_xpath(p_tname)
LOOP
IF l_xml_doc.EXISTSNODE(CSR.XPATH_EXP) = 1
THEN
l_node_value := l_xml_doc.extract(CSR.XPATH_EXP).getStringVal(); -- This is the value to be stored in the corresponding column
ELSE
     l_node_value := NULL;
END IF;
IF CSR.COLUMN_NAME = ‘eno’
THEN
     l_sample_items(1).eno := l_node_value;
ELSIF CSR.COLUMN_NAME = ‘ename’
THEN
     l_sample_items(1).name := l_node_value;
END IF;
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
And I need to eliminate hard coding while comparing the column names (in the following piece of code) as the Mapping table values are subject to insertion/deletion:
IF CSR.COLUMN_NAME = ‘eno’
THEN
     l_sample_items(1).eno := l_node_value;
ELSIF CSR.COLUMN_NAME = ‘ename’
THEN
     l_sample_items(1).ename := l_node_value;
END IF;
I need to insert the values directly into the tabletype without this hardcoding. Please suggest me ways to compare the mapping table values with the field (column) names of the tabletype. If it is not possible using tabletype, please suggest any other ways of fixing the problem.
Many thanks,
Gopi

I take it this isn't going to be a serious production system at the end of the day?
Storing metadata in tables for extraction and insertion of data is just wrong in so many ways. It smells heavily of Entity Attribute Value modelling, which is the most wrong way to use a relational database and is known to have major performance implications and be liable to bugs and issues. The idea that EAV modelling allows for 'generic' databases where new data items can be added flexibly later on without having to change code is usually justified with an excuse of "it means we don't have to update all our tables when we want a new column" which is easily countered with "if you're adding a single column a good relational design wouldn't require you to add it to more than one table anyway in most cases".
Just what exactly are you trying to do and why? There has to be a better way.

Need Help ASAP!! with iPod Classic 80GB

This is my first apple product and it is not giving a good impression. I need help eargently!
I Sync 2969 songs onto my ipod for first time 2 days ago using latest Itunes it worked great and i was happy just my ipod didnt have all the album art, so the next day i plugged it in and put all the album art to the correct albums which went fine, then i wanted to add another album. I clicked sync to update the library on my ipod and it started transfering at a sluggish speed simular to this 1....2....3....4....5....6 etc it eventually got to 196 out of 1248 and stopped and 2 mins later itunes crashed. so the only way i could remove my ipod was to pull it out without ejecting it i then tried to look for the songs and what do you know it said on my Ipod 0 Music..... I was gob smacked i put it back in, in hope for it to sync again but ever since then it continues to do that, but i can manually transfer max 4 albums by drag and drop, at a time before itunes crashes. I am seriously going to throw it in the bin soon if i cant get it working and i will never ever buy an apple product again, i love the idea of the iPod but there to faffy! compared to a standard MP3 player..
PLEASE HELP ME i have tried restoring it many times, ive tried resetting it holding menu button and select button. and i have also tried another way were you restard the ipod and during the apple logo you quickly hold play which formats it..
please help me!! apples help lines are useless!

You do understand that this is a user-to-user forum? That we're all volunteers? And this is a weekend? You may need to be a bit more patient.
If I had an answer I would be happy to try to help. When you say you've tried "restoring" it, do you mean that you've hooked it up to your computer and pressed the "Restore" button in iTunes? If not, that's the next thing you should try.
I know you've tried a few things but it wouldn't hurt to go through the standard trouble shooting steps:

How to create a dynamic action from link column in classic report

I Have an apex page that display a modal window utilizing jquery. In the modal window I have a classic report with a link column that I want to capture its click event.
I was thinking I could create a dynamic action with selection type=jquery selector. Not for sure if I need to do anything on link column and do not know the syntax
for jquery selector. Would appreciate any help or direction???

Thank you for your response. I am very new to Jquery so don't understand all that well.
What I did:
I created a dynamic action
Event: Click
Selection Type: jQuery Selector
jQuery Selector: tdheaders
Created True Actions
I created an alert to see if this is being executed.
Alert 'I made it here'
What I have:
I created a report region with the following query:
Select empno, ename, 'SELECT' from emp
where (ename like '%'||ltrim(rtrim(:P2_SEARCHPU))||'%'
or :P2_SEARCHPU is null)
I created 'SELECT' column as Link Column
Report Attributes
Link Text Select
Target Page in this Application
Page 2
Region Header
<div id="ModalForm2" title="Employee List" style="display:none">
Region Footer
</div>
This report is displayed in a modal form when a button is clicked.
Code for modal window in Page Header
<script type="text/javascript">
$( function() {
$('#ModalForm2').dialog(
{ modal : true ,
autoOpen : false ,
buttons : {
Cancel : function() {
closeForm2();
function openForm2()
$('#ModalForm2').dialog('open');
function closeForm2()
$('#ModalForm2 input[type="text"]').val('');
$('#ModalForm2').dialog('close');
</script>
I am trying to capture the click event on the link column of the report in the modal form. I want to pass a couple of column values
back to the main form and close the modal window. I do not want to do the submit that happens if I click on the link column and link back to the main page(2)
If I let the submit to happen, all other entered fields are cleared on my main form.
Just don't understand the jQuery selector. I have no problem catching the button clicks on the modal form.

OnMouseOver displays Tooltip from hidden column of classic report

What: The Goal:
Make easily available more information than fits on one line of the screen without using multiple fixed lines.
Background:
Classic report with 18 data items (columns) visible. Has Search box and user can choose number of rows displayed.
A couple data items can be long (20-30 characters) compared to the screen width. The right-most data item might run 100 characters.
Proposed Strategy:
1) Display the first n characters of the long item(s) on the report.
2) On onMouseOver display the entire item.
Proposed Approach:
1) For each column with long data, hold the entire value in a hidden item.
2) Display long (hidden) value in tooltip (bubble?/balloon?) upon onMouseOver of that value.
Note: This is not ToolTip/Help for a column but display of the long value for a specifc item in the row of a column.
Sought After Feature:
1) To reduce maintenance, would like to implement for multiple columns using a single common block of code.
Question:
Given other approaches you know, is this a good approach to achieve the goal? Alternative approaches?

Well it took a while and you really made me work for this. :)
For the end result hover on the Job Ln Nm column.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=991202:1
I added some old code I had laying around. It adds a bubble that will stay up for 5 sec or until you click away or hover on another record.
What I would do at this point is just truncate (with a substr) the length of the Long Nm to something short. Use whatever indicator you want for the hover. Like for example these glasses <img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#Fndview1.gif"> It's really up to you.
You'll see there's an AJAX Callback PLSQL where you can retreive and format the content of the popup to whatever you want. You could make it real pretty.
Here's what I did:
1. New ShowJob javascript procedure.
function ShowJob(pThis,pId){
     this.dTimeout;
     clearTimeout(this.dTimeout);
     this.dGet = dGet;
     this.dShow = dShow;
     this.dCancel = dCancel;
     var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$v('pFlowId'),'APPLICATION_PROCESS=FULL_LONG_NAME',$v('pFlowStepId'));
     this.dGet();
     return;
     function dGet(){
           this.dTimeout = setTimeout("this.dCancel()",6500);
          get.addParam('x01',pId);
           get.GetAsync(dShow);
     function dShow(){
           $x_Hide('rollover');
           if(p.readyState == 1){
           }else if(p.readyState == 2){
           }else if(p.readyState == 3){
           }else if(p.readyState == 4){
                 $x('rollover_content').innerHTML = p.responseText;
                 $x_Show('rollover');
            var l = findPosX(pThis)+pThis.offsetWidth+5;
                 var t = findPosY(pThis);
            $x_Style('rollover','left',l + 'px');
                 $x_Style('rollover','top',t + 'px');
// This math would center on the vertical
//                 $x_Style('rollover','left',findPosX(pThis)+pThis.offsetWidth+5);
//                 $x_Style('rollover','top',findPosY(pThis)-($x('rollover').offsetHeight/2)+($x(pThis).offsetHeight/2));
               document.onclick = function(e){
               dCheckClick(e);
           }else{return false;}
     function dCheckClick(e){
          var elem = html_GetTarget(e);
          try{
                    var lTable = $x_UpTill(elem,"DIV");
                    if(lTable.id!='rollover_content'){dCancel();}
                    else{}
          }catch(err){dCancel();}
     function dCancel(){
           $x_Hide('rollover');
          document.onclick = null;
           get = null;
}2. Rollover div on the page footer (div id="rollover"...). Of course this could be a region also.
<div id="rollover" style="display:none;color:black;background:#FFF;border:2px solid #369;width:290px;position:absolute;padding:4px;">
<div id="rollover_content"></div>
</div>
3. PLSQL AJAX Callback. : FULL_LONG_NAME
-- select your value with apex_application.g_x01
htp.p('You hover over ' || apex_application.g_x01 || '<br>');
htp.p('Here is the Full Long Name: XXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXX 1234565');4. Changed Long Nm column to be a link with the onmouseover call that calls the new procedure ShowJob. I made the assumption that with the NUM parameter you could fetch the full record of what you need.
onmouseover="ShowJob(this,#NUM#)"
That should be it.
Let me know what you think.

How to implement Dynamic Sort to an SQL classic report?

Hi,
I'm trying to implement dynamic sort to my working sql classic report, when user selects order by column from select item(action as submit page), the report should be refreshed and display with the selected column sort order.
But not able to do so.
Report Query:
Select a, b, c from sample order by :P1_ORDER_BY
P1_ORDER_BY - Select Item:
STATIC2: Column 1;a, Column 2;b, Column 3;c
Running page, report doesnt sorts in any of the column priority.
Kindly guide.
Regards,
Krishna

Of course the select item is in use.
It should submit the the page on select so you can retrieve the current value in you report select statement.
look here:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=21296:2:
table:
create table sample
a varchar2(30)
, b varchar2(30)
, c varchar2(30)
insert into sample values('a','z','k');
insert into sample values('b','y','d');
insert into sample values('c','x','a');
insert into sample values('d','w','b');
commit;
Select List:
P2_ORDER_BY
STATIC:Order by A;A,Order by B;B,Order by C;C
Report select:
select
a,b,c
from sample
order by
decode(:P2_ORDER_BY,'A',a,null)
, decode(:P2_ORDER_BY,'B',b,null)
, decode(:P2_ORDER_BY,'C',c,null)Marc

htp.p('<td width ="20%"><b>Salary</b></td>');
htp.p('<td width ="20%"><b>Status</b></td>');
htp.p('</tr></table>');
for c_emp_data in emp_data

Sort order column in a report

hi all,
I've seen in a dashboard (OBIEE 10.1.3) on linux os that is possible to sort the columns of the measures in a table (an arrow appears next to the name of the column), but I haven't noticed in the settings how get this result.
is a feature of linux or you can apply this in windows? if so, how?
thank you for the reply

you have to enable the sorting for table view in Answers report. refer below article.
