Nested Tables not flowing as desired

I have a form with nested tables that I want to flow down a page. the form is here: https://acrobat.com/#d=PzZppJnMQxf2GcbPYKvArQ Currently Table2 nests to the right, and not down the page. Any idea as to what I need to do to get the table to flow down the page and not across?

I'm not a fan of table based layouts. CSS is so much more efficient. Tables are for displaying tabular data like spreadsheets & charts.
If you use CSS for layouts, you can position your background image with CSS.

Tables not showing as desired

Hi...thanks for readling...appreciate...
Having a tables issue:
As one can see from the screen grabs, the table view shows the floral graphic coming right under the text....just over to the side. However, in the Live View, the floral is quite a bit further down the page.
Here is the link to the page: http://www.tmforwomen.org
As far as knowing how to do it, have coded all the tables Cells 'top'. Please enlighten me if you have any clues how to make the live view, and the view in all browsers, like the top view below, meaning floral is up further.
Thanks ever so much,
Warmly Hope

Nested tables recursive SQL

Hello, I am trying to figure out why I get the following error message
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-22914: DROP of nested tables not supported
I am using the TOAD tool to create tables using CTAS and I have managed to create several tables using the same SQL that is failing now with the only difference being a portion of the WHERE clause.
Any help will be very much appreciated

ORA-22914: DROP of nested tables not supported
       Cause: An attempt was made to DROP a nested table.
       Action: Nested tables cannot be explicitly dropped. nested tables can
      only be dropped by dropping their containing parent table.

Table J_1IEXCDTL - EXBAS isnt updated -Excise Base Amt not flowing to ARE1

Dear Friends,
This is in continuation to the earlier post.......Excise Duty Base Amount is not flowing into ARE1...Iam here briefing up the earlier post details:
When I am creating ARE-1 for the Exports Excise Invoice, Excise Duty Base Amount is not flowing into ARE1 but BED and other cess conditions are flowing into ARE1
Liable to AT1 and Indicator NCCD is checked and in my pricing procedure NCCD condition is not maintained as its not required.
The latest patch updated in my system is SAPKH600011 (Logistics and Accounting).....
Most importantly the Excise base amount field is not seen in the Excise Invoice but in ARE1 this field is in display mode and Excise base value is not flowing into the Table J_1IEXCDTL field EXBAS.
Someone Pl help me on this issue.
Thanks

Sasi,
I think you are making a mistake between manual and mandatory. IN the pricing procedure MAN stands for manual condition and mdt stands for mandatory. Now in the standard, the PR00 is an automatic entry and JASS is a manual and a statistical condition. It is not mandatory. PR00 being the base value for calculation of gross price/nett price it is mandatory.
Most of the customers prefer a manual pricing procedure where PR00, discount, surcharge everything is manual.
In such a case change the appropriate condition type to the manual condition with manual has priority in the settings for condition type.
But here you need to enter the prices and all the conditions manually.
Here you should have only one condition type for pricing condition with the category as basic price. PR00 is normally that condition and so is the P101 which is a Price ( STO). Now if there are several select all others to statistical and only PR00 with an account key assignment to ERL.
Ensure that JASS the assesable value as statistical and manual.
If however you want the JASS as the excise base amount then PR00 will be used for calculation of discounts and and NETT price only but JASS will be the one for Excise base amount.
BAsed on this excise base amount which you will find in the table J_1IEXCHDR the values for BED, ECS and SECS gets calculated.
Either way is O.K but one word of caution. There is an assessable value in the J1ID transaction where you maintain the Assessable value for materials. Its mostly used in TAXINJ. DO not use it or even if that field is filled ensure that you give the JASS assessable value manually at the time of calculating SAles ordr pricing.
If you don;t then there will be an error.
Also check in the analysis whch condition basis value is being taken for calculated in your excise conditions.
This should solve your problem.
Remember calculating assessable value is not a small thing but customers prefer it because reversing excise or paying additional excise is a pain for them. If thats the case then so be it.
But ensure that assessable value is calculated nett of discounts and given there.
In one case I came across where otehr charges, finance charges and transportation were added to the basic price and only on the total excise duty was added and discount was given after calculation of excise duty. Please check your scenario in line with your requirement. Any questions. My pleasure to reply.
regards
Jude

Table row does not flow to next page

Hi,
I am using deep structure table in adobe form but the content is not flowing to next page.
I have wraped the table in subform, Body Page, subform and table all are flowed and allow page breaks with content is also ticked, still the table row does not flow to next page.
Regards,
Kimaya

Hi Kimaya,
Just drag the table directly on the body page and execute the form. This should take care of the properties required for data to flow on the form.
Thanks

"member of " not working with nested table of dates

Can someone explain why this doesn't work. The last select does not return any row. When trying the same with a table of number, it works fine.
drop table test;
drop type date_tab;
create type date_tab as table of date;
create table test(dates date_tab) nested table dates store as dates;
insert into test values (date_tab(to_date('10-jan-2007'),to_date('15-jan-2007'),to_date('15-jan-2007')));
commit;
select * from test where to_date('10-jan-2007') member of dates;
Line above should find the row, but does not return anything.

> With 10G Oracle said that these two engines are now sharing the same source code
Is that documented somewhere? Regarding database versions, it was 9.0.1 that claimed an integrated parser. I don't see any update for 10g.
> So in the old days one had to do a [SELECT sysdate INTO d FROM dual] to assign a function value to a PL/SQL var - as the function did not exist in PL/SQL.
Then (from Oracle 7 onwards?) these functions were also available in PL/SQL. However, the two engines did not share common code. So functions in SQL did not always behave like function in PL/SQL and vice versa.
I don't recall that limitation in PL/SQL v1 (Forms 3 to 4.5, and database v6, though I doubt many people actually used PL/SQL on the database because (1) it was separately licensed, and (2) it didn't have stored procedures) - but then it was a while ago so I could be mistaken.
I know USER, SYSDATE and others used to be implicit queries of dual (i.e. the supplied PL/SQL function was just a wrapper containing SELECT SYSDATE INTO dt FROM dual; RETURN dt;) although that's probably just confusing the issue.

Nested Tables Repeat Header Row RTF Output Not Working v5.6.2(PDF does)

All,
Has anyone used nested tables in heading rows where they are set to repeat nested table header row across page breaks for RTF output ? This seems to work for PDF generation (line breaking enforcement doesn't) but I don't even get RTF Header ROWS indicated in my RTF output document. I have enabled them in my RTF template for the outer table row plus the inner nested table. Is this possible for RTF output or have I not indicated something in my RTF template or grouping clause ??
Thanks,
Tom

Element order is not preserved in NESTED TABLES.

I may be silly, but I cant understand it.
Steven Feurenstein : Unlike nested tables, when you store and retrieve a VARRAY, its element order is preserved.
Element order is not preserved in NESTED TABLES.
What does it mean?
Thanks..

Could you please give an example?He just did? A nested table is really a table like any other, so the same rule applies: if you want the data selected in a specific order, you must use ORDER BY.

How to use nested tables with the inner table in a separate row

Hi,
I am having a problem when changing our existing Adobe printform delivery note so that serial numbers are written for each item line.
I've searched the forum and found many posts relating to nested tables, but none that had exactly my situation.
Currently I print item lines like this (this uses the complete width of the form):
Pos....Quantity...Material..........Description..................................................Date
99.........99.........ABCDEFGH....alksdalksjdlkasjdlsajdlkjasldjaslkdjakslj........9999.99.99
.................................................fskdjflsdfljsdflkjsdlkfjsdlkjfdfsf
.................................................asdkadsfdkfhsdkfhskjdfhks
but I want to add serial numbers after that for each item like this:
Pos....Quantity...Material..........Description...................................................Date
99.........99.........ABCDEFGH....alksdalksjdlkasjdlsajdlkjasldjaslkdjakslj.........9999.99.99
.................................................fskdjflsdfljsdflkjsdlkfjsdlkjfdfsf
.................................................asdkadsfdkfhsdkfhskjdfhks
.................................................Serial numbers:
.................................................9999999999..9999999999..9999999999
.................................................9999999999..9999999999..9999999999
I have added serial numbers to my the current table in the interface/context/data view so it look like this:
TTYP - ITEM_FIELDS
...DATA structure
......POSNR
......QTY
......MATNR
......TTYP - ITEM_TEXTS
.........DATA structure
............DESCRIPTION
......DATE
......TTYP - SERIAL_NOS
.........DATA structure
............SERIAL_COL1
............SERIAL_COL2
............SERIAL_COL3
In my Hierarchy I currently have this hierarchy and binding:
Table - ITEM_FIELDS
...Body Row - DATA
......Cell - POSNR
......Cell - QTY
......Cell - MATNR
......Subform - ItemTexts
.........Table - ITEM_TEXTS
............Body Row - DATA
...............Cell - DESCRIPTION
......Cell - DATE
Now I am trying to add the SERIAL_NOS table into the ITEM_FIELDS/DATA body row right after the DATE cell - but I am not allowed to drag anything into the table structure.
Does anybody have an ida how I can achieve this, please?
Kind regards,
Claus Christensen

HI,
Set the body page as flowed and set the tables also flowed.
go to bodypage>object->subform-->select flowed option.
I thihnk this will work..if u are getting all the records properly into the tables 1 and 2.

Nested Tables - Unable to make Table Header row to repeat in subsequent pages

Hi,
I am unable to make the header row to repeat in subsequent pages for nested tables.
Can anyone reply with a sample form to illustrate a similar scenario?
Thanks,
Rohit

Hi All,
I have selected the the check box Insert Header Row in Subsequent Pages then also the header is not getting flowed in subsequent pages only till 2nd page its getting flowed.
I have used table wizard to create table and i have made the table subform as flowed then also table header is not repeating in subsequent pages.
MainForm (Flowed)
TableSubform1(Flowed)
Table1
HeaderRow
Row1
TableSubform2(Flowed)
Table2
HeaderRow
Row1
I selected TableSubform1 and in Pagination tab OverFlow Leader dropdown i selected HeaderRow, the same i did for TableSubform2 also but the table header is not getting repeated in subsequent pages.
Please help me in solving this problem.

Nested tables and Inheritance

Hi there,
Im a bit new to SQL and am doing it for my degree at the moment.
We have been set an assignment to create a database from a conceptual schema, and as far as I can tell, i need to implement nested cells into a table that has inheritance both above it and below it. Is this even possible? lol i hope you can actually understand that.
If its not, what would be an alternative?
thanks
michael

sorry, maybe i didnt make myself clear.I AGREE.
do not try to describe in words what you have
It would be helpful if you provided DDL for tables involved.
It would be helpful if you provided DML for test data.
It would be helpful if you provided expected/desired results & a detailed explanation how & why the test data gets transformed or organized.
In other words, post what you start with (table & data)
post expected/desired output & explain how inputs are combined to produce desired results

Nested Tables and Multiple Pages

Hi,
I have a problem with nested tables that span multiple pages.
Lets assume I want to create a list of orders. Each order contains several order items. As long as an order contains less order items than fit to one page the list is rendered correctly. But if an order contain more items all items that can´t be displayed at the first page are cut off.
I´ve tried so many combinations of subforms with flow content and position content, subform sets and "Allow Page Breaks within Content" as well as Layout Property "Expand to fit" but nothing helped.
Can someone tell me if and how I can achieve this. In the meantime I do work in Designer directly with a XML datasource. So I could send you the form and example data.
I´m working with NW04 SP11 and Adobe Designer 6.0
Best regards
Helmut

Hello Helmut,
There are some limitations and bugs in your requirement.
Please see the output after copying into notepad.
1.Eventhough if you give overflow leader , the headers for item table will not repeat.it is a bug.this is not solved in designer 7.1 also.
2.There are some accessibilty bugs in case of nested table.
Please follow the below design in the hierachy tab.
MainTable (subform)
 |---- Header (subform)
 | |- Header texts for Main table +
 | |- Text for nested table
 |---- DATA_main (subform)
 |-Main table fields
 |-ITEMDATA ( Table SUBFORM)
 |-Header (Subform)
 | |-ItemHeader texts
 |-DATA_item (subform)
 |-Item data fields
for DATA_main and DATA_item subforms, set repeat count MIN in binding tab.Set all flow content and allow page break with in the content.
The output will appear in the following manner.
( Copy the below text into the notepad. )
Order no. text customer
 Order items
=================================================================
1 Computer Mr. Smith
 Order item no. short text quantity price
 10 PC Tower 1 400.00
 20 LCD Display 1 200.00
 30 Keyboard 1 15.00
 40 Mouse 1 10.00
2 Notebook Mrs. Parker
 Order item no. short text quantity price
 10 HP Notebook 1 600.00
 20 Ext. hard drive 1 80.00
let me know if u didnt get the solution.
Thanks and Regards,

How to cast RECORD of nested tables into OBJECT of nested tables

Right, we have an existing massive pl/sql package where some of the processing is taking too long so they want to try multithreading it.
The data in this package is stored in an array of records which contains nested tables, which themselves contain nested tables.
So, we want to split this table into 10, and submit them to 10 dbms_jobs to run concurrently, write the modified arrays to the database so they can be picked up again by the original process.
I'm stuck on converting the associative array of data (containing tables of records) into objects which can be stored in the DB.
My database objects:
CREATE OR REPLACE
TYPE ktest_claims_rt IS OBJECT
     col1 varchar2(10)
    ,col2 varchar2(10));
CREATE OR REPLACE
TYPE ktest_claims_tt IS TABLE OF ktest_claims_rt;
CREATE OR REPLACE
TYPE ktest_driver_rt IS OBJECT
     col1      varchar2(10)
    ,col2      varchar2(10)
    ,claims_nt ktest_claims_tt);
CREATE OR REPLACE
TYPE ktest_driver_tt IS TABLE OF ktest_driver_rt;
CREATE OR REPLACE
TYPE ktest_policy_rt IS OBJECT
     col1       varchar2(10)
    ,col2       varchar2(10)
    ,driver_nt ktest_driver_tt);
CREATE OR REPLACE
TYPE ktest_policy_tt IS TABLE OF ktest_policy_rt;
CREATE TABLE ktest_job_table
(job_no        NUMBER
,tab_type      VARCHAR2(3)
,policy_nt     ktest_policy_tt
NESTED TABLE policy_nt STORE AS policy_nested_tab
    (NESTED TABLE driver_nt STORE AS driver_nested_tab
       (NESTED TABLE claims_nt STORE AS claims_nested_tab))
/ And my local package versions:
   TYPE claims_rt IS RECORD
     col1 varchar2(10)
    ,col2 varchar2(10));
   TYPE claims_tt IS TABLE OF claims_rt INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
   TYPE driver_rt IS RECORD
     col1       varchar2(10)
    ,col2       varchar2(10)
    ,claims_nt claims_tt);
   TYPE driver_tt IS TABLE OF driver_rt INDEX BY VARCHAR2(20);
   TYPE policy_rt IS RECORD
        policy_no   policy.policy_no%TYPE
       ,driver_tab driver_tt
       ,other_col   VARCHAR2(20));
   TYPE policy_tt IS TABLE OF policy_rt
        INDEX BY pls_integer;
   main_table policy_tt;What I can't get through my pea sized brain is how to turn "main_table" into an array based on ktest_policy_tt.
I got as far as:
   FUNCTION convert (p_table IN policy_tt) RETURN ktest_policy_tt
   IS
      db_vers ktest_policy_tt := ktest_policy_tt();
      db_rec   ktest_policy_rt;
   BEGIN
      FOR i IN p_table.FIRST..p_table.LAST
      LOOP
         db_rec := ktest_policy_rt(p_table(i).policy_no
                                  ,p_table(i).other_col
                                  ,ktest_driver_tt(p_table(i).driver_tab(i).col1
                                                  ,p_table(i).driver_tab(i).col2
                                                  ,ktest_claims_tt(p_table(i).driver_tab(i).claims_nt(i).col1
                                                                  ,p_table(i).driver_tab(i).claims_nt(i).col1
         db_vers(i) := db_rec;
      END LOOP;
   END;but, apart from the fact that it only coverts the first row of each table, it doesn't compile:
LINE/COL ERROR
139/10   PL/SQL: Statement ignored
143/52   PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to
         'KTEST_CLAIMS_TT'
143/52   PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to
         'KTEST_CLAIMS_TT'I'd appreciate any help as this is getting urgent.
Thanks!

I would recommend writing your function in a more stepwise, explicit fashion rather than trying to write the conversion as basically one big constructor.
Firstly, you will require nested loops in your pl/sql code for the different levels of nested tables. This is not a choice, you need to do this.
Within each level of looping, explicitly create the object of the desired type before adding it to the table / record as need be.

Nested table variable intersect

Hi everyone,
I've created several nested tables of records, and I'd like to find the intersection of these variables. Just to use a a simple example:
declare
type test_record is record (
    col1 NUMBER,
    col2 VARCHAR2(255)
type n_table is table of test_record;
t1 n_table;
t2 n_table;
t3 n_table;
begin
t1(1).col1 := 1;
t1(1).col2 := 'A';
t1.extend;
t1(2).col1 := 2;
t1(2).col2 := 'B';
t2(1).col1 := 1;
t2(1).col2 := 'A';
t2.extend;
t2(2).col1 := 2;
t2(2).col2 := 'B';
end;Now what I'd like to do is find the intersection of tables t1 and t2, and store it in t3. I've read about using multiset operators, but those only seem to work on nested tables of scalar types, not records. Is there any way I could do this? If it helps, I am only considering one column in my intersection, so if I could somehow select col1 from t1 and col1 from t2, and find the intersection of that sub-set, that might work too.
I'd also like to do it without looping through every row in every table, since the number of tables and number of rows can be quite large.
Thanks!

Hey Gerard, thanks for the reply.
The collections only exist in memory, not in the database. I'm running the same raw data through a series of different functions, each of which returns a collection with some rows removed. My desired output is the set of rows which exist in every collection, so the intersection.
I'm hesitant to change the type from a record to an object since the type is declared in a package and there's a lot of other procedures that use it. But you did get me thinking about using straight SQL. So I've made a table to use for temporary storage,
CREATE TABLE TEMP_STORAGE (
    col1 NUMBER,
    col2 VARCHAR2(255)
)And now I can insert each collection into that table as they're made by the functions (with a normal for loop). Now when I want the intersection, I'm trying to write a query like:
declare
type test_record is record (
    col1 NUMBER,
    col2 VARCHAR2(255)
type n_table is table of test_record;
t3 n_table;
total_collections NUMBER;
begin
    total_collections := 4; --this number I won't know at design time, its a counter to see how many collections I've created and inserted into the temporary table
    select col1, col2 bulk collect into t3 from TEMP_STORAGE
        where count(col1) = total_collections;
end;So I want to count the number of duplicates in col1 for a row, and if there are enough, then select that row. I know I can't use the count function like that, is there another way I can do this without creating a seperate table for each function, and doing an intersect on all of them?
Thanks again for your quick response! If you need any clarification about what I'm doing or asking, please ask.

Nested tables and multiset operators in Oracle 10g

Consider the following scenario:
We have two identical relations R and S defined as:
CREATE TABLE R(
a INTEGER,
b table_type)
NESTED TABLE b STORE as b_1;
CREATE TABLE S(
a INTEGER,
b table_type)
NESTED TABLE b STORE as b_2;
where table_typ is defined as
CREATE TYPE table_typ AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(8);
Suppose we have two instances of R and S, each having one tuple as follows: R(1,table_typ('a','b')) and S(1,table_typ('b','c')).
I would like to "merge" these two simple instances (e.g., achieve the effect of a simple SELECT * FROM R UNION SELECT * FROM S query) and obtain the following resulting instance: Result(1,table_typ('a','b','c')).
Would this be possible in Oracle 10g? A simple UNION does not work (I got a "inconsistent datatypes: expected - got SCOTT.TABLE_TYP" error). I also took a look at the MULTISET UNION operator over nested tables available in Oracle 10g, but it doesn't seem to get me anywhere. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Laura
