Non aggregated Value into report

Using Hyperion Interactive Reporting Studio 9.3.1, I created computed column that gives me a results that I'm able to put into a report.
My formula in the footer of any Group is Tables("Results_Union").Columns("Computed").Sum(currBreak), I want the sum of entire colum non aggregated,
is it possible?
Thanks,
Daniele

My problem is similar to this
but I don't understand how to use Max function like suggested
Visual example
Result Section
Shop     Computed Column
shop1     3
shop2     4
shop3     5
Sum of Computed Colum is 12 (I need to retrieve this value in the report section)
Report Section
GroupX
Shop     Computed Column
shop1     3
shop2     4
In the GroupX Footer I need 12 but the aggregated value is 7
the value is obtained by the formula
Tables("Results_Section").Columns("ComputedColumn").Sum(currBreak)=7
GroupY     ComputedColumn
shop1     3
In the GroupY Footer I need 12 but the aggregated value is 3
the value is obtained by the formula
Tables("Results_Section").Columns("ComputedColumn").Sum(currBreak)=3
Report Footer
This is not aggregated value then
Tables("Results_Section").Columns("ComputedColumn").Sum(currBreak)=12
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Daniele

You can achieve this using Customer Exit or BADI. Check the folllowing link.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/ac/ef1f43daac9a448f0150a02e3a7aba/content.htm
If you are using BADI
You can create Virtual CHAR in BADI using transaction SE19
In this transaction you can create a new or display the existing BADI.
There you can see two tabs
The Attribute Tab we need to give the name of the Multiprovider on which the query with the virtual char is getting executed.
The Inerface Tab has three following sections. Need to write the ABAP code for all the three.
Define : Defind all the characteristics and virtual char that will be used for populating virtual char
Initialize : Initialize them
Compute : Here you will have to write the logic for populating the virtual char.
Once the logic is written then you can use this char in your query .
Hope this helps.

Hide the value into report if the value is same

Dear All,
In my one of report the list now displaying as below:
Item    Mat.Code         Qty

Manually entering field values into report

Hi, I am running a call report for a contact centre and the reports shows information such as numbers of calls received/answered, duration of calls, grade of service, etc. What I am wanting it to also include forcasted calls into the report. I do not have write access to the database (otherwise this would be very straight forward). The report in the end will get exported as a PDF document but I would like to be able to run the report and have some sort of prompt asking for the forcasted calls for each day ( I am showing multiple days on the report). They vary from day to day. Is there any way to do this? I'm reasonably new to crystal as well so simplicity is good. Thanks, Paul.

Hi Paul,
Crystal Reports is a tool that will allow you to read data from the database. If your database contains a field that contains data for 'forecasted calls' you can place that on the report to display. You will not be able to write data to the database from Crystal Reports.
If you do not have a field that contains data for forecasted calls, you might be able to create a formula to generate that.
In regards to creating a prompt, you can create a parameter in Crystal Reports from the Field Explorer. Once you've created the report you can add that to the record selection formula (Report|Selection Formula|Record...)
{yourforecast.field} = {?your.parameter}

Report with non aggregated and aggregated columns from different facts.

Hi,
We have got requirement as follows,
1) We have two dimension tables, and two fact(Fact1 and Fact2) table in physical.
2) In BMM we have made hierarchies for both dimensions, and are joins both logical fact table.
3)In fact1, we are having three measures of which we have made two as aggregation sum, and one is non aggregated(It contains character).
4)Fact2 have two measures, both are aggregation as sum.
5)Now here the problem arises, we want to make a report with some columns from dim and non aggrgated column from fact1 and and aggregated column fact2
How to resolve the above issue.
Regards,
Ankit

As suggested you really want to move your none-aggregated fact attributes to a logical dimension (using the same physical table as the logical fact). Map this in the BMM layer as a snowflake, Place a hierarchy on this dimension with (at minimum) Total -> Detail levels, then on the other fact table you want to include in the report, set the content level on your other fact measures to the 'Total' level for your new logical Dim and it will allow them to be present in the same report.

How to format the report with the aggregated value

Hi,
I have 2 characteristics and 3 KFs in the infocube.
First field is Cost Center
Second field is creation Date
3rd field is KF1
4th field is KF2
5th field is KF3
I have put the date field( in the row) as this is required for calculating formula for KFs. But I have set that as No display.
The date in the info cube is as follows.
Cost Ceneter Date( no Display)   KF1     KF2      KF3
CC1           01/01/2006          100     150      200
CC1           02/02/2006          75      100      95
CC1           05/02/2006          125      95      125
CC2           01/02/2006          75       25      85
CC2           02/02/2006          85       65      10
As the Date field is in query set to No display so the date appearing in the report is as follows
CC1       100        150        200
          75         100        95
          125          95        125
CC2       75           25        85
          85           65        10
But I want the aggregated value at cost senter level i.e.
CC1       300         245       420
CC2       160         90         95
I can not remove the Date frield from query as there is a formula variable defined on the date field.
Please let me know how to bring the report to the required format.

If you are in new Bex, you can do it.
You will have to create another (set of) CKF on top of the current ones (which do exception aggregation on DOCNUM) and set the exception aggregation on date.
Say you have
CH1--CH2CH3--CKF1
To have a 'before aggregation' behavior for CKF1 when CH3 is not present, you will create a CKF2 = CKF1 with exception aggregation on CH3.
Now, if you want to remove CH2 and have the 'before aggregation' behavior you will need to create another CKF3 = CKF2 with exception aggregation on CH2.
ie for each level of aggregation, you will have to define a new CKF/Formula with corresponding exception aggregation - this is what will be needed to get you your output.

REP-1425 report formula DO_SQL error putting value into column

Hi all
I have opened a report 2.5 in Oracle9i Reports Developer and, it converted ok. However, when I run the report (paper layout), the message
rep-1425 report formula DO_SQL error putting value
into column. Column may not be referenced by parameter
triggers
appears. There are several report level formula columns and corresponding placeholder columns that are the cause of this error. The formula has the following :
SRW.DO_SQL('SELECT RPAD(''DAILY TABLE AUDIT REPORT'',60,''.'')||TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,''DD-MON-YYYY'') INTO :REPORT_TIT FROM DUAL');
COMMIT;
RETURN('');
I can't work out what this error message really means as the column, report_tit is a placeholder column and, the formula column is not a parameter trigger!! The report_tit placeholder is used as a source for a layout field. I noticed that the layout field is defined as a placeholder column in the converted report but in the reports 2.5 version, it is defined as a layout field.
I can do a work around by replacing the SRW.DO_SQL statement with a normal PL/SQL SELECT statement. However, I wonder if anyone else has had the same problem and, if anyone can help provide an answer as to what this error really means and, also, how I can retain the SRW.DO_SQL statement and/or an alternative work around to the one that I have described.
Thanks.

Hi again
The firewall proved to be the problem after all! The firewall set in Reports config-files is not used for WebServices, it has to be set within the stub:
Properties prop = System.getProperties();
prop.put("http.proxyHost","yourProxyServer");
prop.put("http.proxyPort","youProxyServerPort");
I inserted this in my java-code and after some problems (see below), restarting Report Builder turned the trick, the report works now.
Cheers
Tino
Here there mail I set up before I found that restarting Report Builder helped:
Thanks for your answer, putting in the proxy-settings actually helped some - the same error message is
popping up, but instantly and not after 10 seconds like before:
My proxy lines look like this, I also tried "http://proxy.ch.oracle.com", but "proxy.ch.oracle.com" proved to
be the correct syntax:
public Float getRate(String country1, String country2) throws Exception
Float returnVal = null;
Properties prop = System.getProperties();
prop.put("http.proxyHost","proxy.ch.oracle.com");
prop.put("http.proxyPort","8080");
URL endpointURL = new URL(endpoint);
Call call = new Call();
I tested the new proxy-entries by disabling the proxy preference in JDeveloper, so I could verify the added
proxy-lines in the code work - they do. If I change the proxy to some incorrect value like
"proxyy.ch.oracle.com", they fail.
After unsuccessfully trying recompile and re-import of Java classes, I rebuild the report from scratch and
stumbled over the same problem. Now the question is, whether I'm still doing something wrong with the
proxy or whether there is another problem after passing the firewall....

Inserting a Value into otherTable using an App. Proc. from a Date Picker

I'm trying to call an Application Process that will insert an Attribute of a Row, into another table, after selecting a date from a Date Picker cell.
I don't know why this shouldn't be possible. I think I've got all of my "Ducks in a Row", so to speak,
but the Value that is being inserted into the other table is this:.. [object HTMLTableCellElement]
(Ultimately, I'd like my Application Process to include Page element values with the insert as well, but I'm trying to handle one problem at a time)
Here's a list of all the steps I've covered:
1. I've Created an Application Process, (popDevices). The Process Point is "On-Demand". The Type is "PL/SQL Anonymous Block".
The Process is defined as such:
BEGIN
Insert into P_DEVICES
NAME,
IP_ADDRESS,
MODEL
) values
'Unassigned',
'Unassigned',
:P153_MODEL
COMMIT;
END;
2. I've Included the Javascript in the Page HTML Header.
The Javascript is written as such: (minus the tags)
function popDevices(PART_NO)
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=popDevices',0);
get.add('P153_MODEL',PART_NO);
gReturn = get.get();
get = null;
3. I've included the following in the "Element Attributes" field of the Date-Picker Item (Date_Delivered).
The Region Type is "SQL Query (Updatable Report)"
onChange="javascript:popDevices(PART_NO);"
THE RESULTS
A. A row does get inserted into the other (P_Devices) table,
But the value of the Attribute from the Page Region is not valid.
The Inserted value is this: [object HTMLTableCellElement]
B. I have tried Every conceivable combination of characters in the "Element Attributes" field, such as:
...(PART_NO), (#PART_NO#), (||PART_NO||), (+PART_NO+)
C. The Javascript in the Page HTML Header appears to be correct, since I have written it this same way for other applications without any problems.
D. If this simply cannot be done by referencing the "onChange" Javascript from the "Element Attributes" field,
Then can you help me to write the code into the Select statement of the region.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
-Gary

This may not be the most direct approach to the solution. But, none the less, it is a solution.
For those other novices, like myself, I hope this can be useful at some point in your development:
MY DESIRED RESULT:
A. To Insert into another tablle values derived from both; Page Item (i.e. P153_x) and Attributes of a Row in an Updatable Report from which I have selected the Date-Picker.
B. I want the insert to occur automatically after the user Selects the date from the Date-Picker.
SOLUTIONS:
1. I usea Javascript prompt window to prompt for information and store the information in Pre-Created Page Items.
This is the Javascript as I've entered it into the Page HTML Header region: (Minus the Tags)
function received_javaprompt () {
var Serial_Number = prompt("Enter the Serial Number");
var Bldg_Id = prompt("Enter the Bldg_Id");
var Clst_Id = prompt("Enter the Clst_Id");
$x('P153_SERIAL_NO').value = Serial_Number;
$x('P153_BLDG_ID').value = Bldg_Id;
$x('P153_CLST_ID').value = Clst_Id;
2. I needed to identify the (Manufacturer and Part_No) Column Attribute in the Row from which I selected the Date-Picker.
A. To do this, I enumerated the Columns in the order they were listed in the Select Statement of the region (Click on the Region Definition Tab).
B. Then (Click on the Report Attributes Tab). Count, In the numerical order which these columns are selected, ONLY the columns that are Editable.
C. When I counted down as far as the Column I wanted to capture the value of, Then I made a mental note of that number and used it in the following (2) Javascripts (findMaker and findModel).
3. findMaker (Minus the tags)
function findMaker (pThis) {
var vRow = pThis.id.substr(pThis.id.indexOf('_')+1);
var Maker = html_GetElement('f15_'+vRow).value
$x('P153_MAKER').value = Maker;
4. findModel (Minus the tags)
function findModel (pThis) {
var vRow = pThis.id.substr(pThis.id.indexOf('_')+1);
var Model = html_GetElement('f16_'+vRow).value
$x('P153_MODEL').value = Model;
5. I added one more Javascript, to the Page HTML Header, that references the Application Process which will Insert the values into the "Other" table:
function popDevices(P153_SERIAL_NO,P153_BLDG_ID,P153_CLST_ID,P153_MAKER,P153_MODEL)
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=popDevices',0);
get.add('P153_SERIAL_NO',P153_SERIAL_NO);
get.add('P153_BLDG_ID',P153_BLDG_ID);
get.add('P153_CLST_ID',P153_CLST_ID);
get.add('P153_MAKER',P153_MAKER);
get.add('P153_MODEL',P153_MODEL);
gReturn = get.get();
get = null;
6. I added the "onChange" process to the Element Attributes field of the Table item which utilizes the Date-Picker:
A. Click on the Report Attributes Tab of the Region.
B. Click on the Edit icon of the column which utilized the Date-Picker
C. I added this "onChange" reference to the Element Attributes field, which is found in the Tabular Form section.
onChange="javascript:received_javaprompt();findModel(this);findMaker(this);popDevices((P153_SERIAL_NO).value,(P153_BLDG_ID).value,(P153_CLST_ID).value,(P153_MAKER).value,(P153_MODEL).value);"
7. The Application Process which inserts the collected data into the table is as follows:
(Name= popDevices: Process Point= On-Demand: Type= PL/SQL Anonymous Block)
BEGIN
Insert into P_DEVICES
BLDG_ID,
CLST_ID,
NAME,
IP_ADDRESS,
SERIAL_NO,
MAKER,
MODEL
) values
:P153_BLDG_ID,
:P153_CLST_ID,
'Unassigned',
'Unassigned',
:P153_SERIAL_NO,
:P153_MAKER,
:P153_MODEL
COMMIT;
END;
Well, I hope this may help someone else like me.
I usually arrive at my solutions by getting help here on the Discussion Forum and also Google. Google inevitably points me to a previous Apex Discussion Forum session.

Pass non-database parameter from report to form

(Portal 3.0.9) In short, how do I pass a non-database parameter into a form?
I am calling a single form from multiple reports. On successful submission of the form, I want to return to the calling report. I have built the dynamic "go" statement in the success submission portion of the form:
declare
return_to_report varchar2(30);
begin
return_to_report := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
p_block_name => 'DEFAULT',
p_attribute_name => 'A_CALLING_REPORT');
go('<portal_schema>.'||return_to_report||'.show');
end;
The problem is that I'm unable to populate the "calling_report" field in my form since it is non-database and does not appear in the list of available variables in my link.
Also, it would be better to pass the value (report name) in a session parameter or global variable so that it is not tied to a specific record in the form, but I cannot find documentation for help.

Hey,
You could also create your own link in the SQL statement.
SELECT
display_link_update(asset_seq) as Update_Record,
column2,
column3,
from table
display_link_update is the function call and I'm passing one variable, asset_seq. Now the function can do the link creation and pass the link back to be displayed on the report.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "PROPERTY"."DISPLAY_LINK_UPDATE"
(asset_seq1 in varchar2) return varchar2 is tag varchar2(4000);
begin
tag:='Update Link';
return tag;
end;
I need to check out session variables. Do a Google search, there should be a few items about it. I'll look into in a few days beacuse I should learn this myself.

Using SQL Query Values as Report Parameters

Why can I not use a page item to pass a value to a report when that page item is populated by a SQL query? If the item is populated as a database item, it can be passed, but not otherwise. Is there a way to work around this problem so that I can pass parameters to a report?

Hi, Jeff
Thanks for asking about this problem. This issue involves two tables mainly and others peripherally. I have a person table with borrower names and addresses, and each record in this table has an identifier in a column called IDENT. There is also a loan table with essential data on the loan, e.g.., loan identifier (DKTNR), the amount, interest rate, maturity date, etc., and also the IDENT linking to the person table. The borrower can be identified from any table that has the DKTNR in it by querying the borrower's name from the person table via the IDENT in the loan table. E.g., select borrower's name from loan_table, person_table where loan_table.ident = person_table.ident and the dktnr here equals the dktnr in the loan table.
I put the borrower's name on each APEX page using this query. I have one table, for example, which stores default accountings (i.e., accountings on loans that have defaulted and, generally, on which the lender has had to expend money to maintain the loan's maritine collateral). The records in this table are identified by the DKTNR. So on the reports page which shows this accounting, there is a non-database_column field (page item) populated via this query. If I want to use the value of this page item on an Oracle report that can be printed, I cannot do so. I place it into a variable (I forgot the name of the variable type, but it is the &PX_ITEM_NAME. type) in the URL which calls the report, but it will not be placed in the report. It is as if I have put a null value into the variable.
Ideas?

MORE THAN 1 OF THE DETAIL FOLDERS USES NON-AGGREGATED ITEMS

What does this join configuration message mean? I am a user not an administrator but I notice that sometimes I get this message when I am trying to create reports in Discoverer.
Currently I have a report that is using a control table and a detail table. I need to link to another table (not a detail table). The join did not exist but I was able to take a transaction and join to the table with sql. I asked that this join be created in Discoverer so I can link to the other table in the report and it was created, but when I go to pull in the field I need I get this message:
Join configuration cannot be resolved. Reason: more than 1 of the detail folders uses non-aggregated items.
Can this be resolved and if so how? We seem to get this message fairly often.

I am always leery of disabling fan traps, as it can cause errors with aggregation (and by errors, I mean including values multiple times). Make sure you check the documentation (the Disco user guide) for an explanation of fan traps, and the types of problems that can occur, and the check the results of your queries (or have the data owners do it) to make sure the results are valid.
I use the fan trap warning as an indication that there is something amiss in the BA, and then try to find the problem there. Sometimes the solution is changing a join (you can check the box that states there is a 1 to 1 relationship and that will also eliminate the fan traps), other times it is creating a view or custom/complex folder to specify how the data is to be joined. Rarely is the only solution to disable fan traps (and while I am on my soapbox, I'll add that I use it as a last resort).
Sometimes removing fan traps is the correct solution, but you need to test your reports to make certain the results are valid.

Passing value from Report Column to Javascript

Dear Apex wizards,
I am a bit stuck right now with implementing a modal pop-up/iframe/javascript and this forum is my last hope to fix this issue.
Anyway, will try to explain what I am trying to accomplish.
What I need is: I want to have an SQL report, as a very first column I want to have an "ID" numbers from my table and I want this column to have a "Column Link" set in "Column Attributes" proper ties. The trick is, that when I click on the column link (when I run my report on Apex page) I need a JQuery modal window to pop-up where in IFrame will be another page and this page will use an "ID" from my column link URL to display data. So, basically I want to pass an "ID" value from my parent page to my child page which is displayed in iFrame of modal window.
And here is what I have:
1. I do have an SQL report:
select SUBNET_ID,
       long2ip(NETWORK_ADDRESS),
       long2ip(SUBNET_MASK),
       long2ip(END_HOST),
       long2ip(START_HOST),
       MAX_HOSTS,
       long2ip(BROADCAST_IP),
       NETWORK_CLASS,
       NETWORK_SIZE,
       HOST_SIZE
from   YC_CM_IP_SUBNETS 2. Then, in "Column Attributes" for "SUBNET_ID" a have set a "Column Link" to URL as : javascript:ViewNetworkDetails(#SUBNET_ID#); 3. Now, when I run my page and point my mice on any item in my "SUBNET_ID" column I can see that it is getting a "SUBNET_ID" number from my table and it shows it in the buttom of the browser as :javascript:ViewNetworkDetails(1);, or (2) or whatever "SUBNET_ID" is. So, that is good.
4. And here I am getting confused, basically I have to pass a value of javascript:ViewNetworkDetails(#SUBNET_ID#);, which seems to work as it gives me correct numbers from my table, to my "ViewNetworkDetails" JavaScript function, so it can paste this value into "f?p=........." iFrame URL. Below is my Jquery Modal form script and Javascript to redirect me to my popup page (the script is in HTML Header):
<script type="text/javascript">
function ViewNetworkDetails(){
var apexSession = $v('pInstance');
var apexAppId = $v('pFlowId');
var subnetIDNumber = document.getElementById(#SUBNET_ID#);
$(function(){
vRuleBox = '<div id="ViewNetworkDetailsBox" title="View Subnet Details">
<iframe src="f?p='+apexAppId+':103:'+apexSession+'::NO:103:P103_SUBNET_ID:'+subnetIDNumber+'
"width="875" height="500" title="View Subnet Details" frameborder="no"></iframe></div>'
$(document.body).append(vRuleBox);
$("#ViewNetworkDetailsBox").dialog({
                        buttons:{"Cancel":function(){$(this).dialog("close");}},
                        stack: true,
modal: true,
                        width: 950,
resizable: true,
autoResize: true,
draggable: true,
close : function(){$("#ViewNetworkDetailsBox").remove();
                        location.reload(true); }
</script> P.S. My assumption is, that there is a problem with this part of my scriptvar subnetIDNumber = document.getElementById(#SUBNET_ID#); where I cannot get my "SUBNET_ID" value from javascript:ViewNetworkDetails(#SUBNET_ID#); into "subnetIDNumber" variable and that is why I cannot pass it to my iFrame URL.
P.S. P.S. the child page 103 has a "Automated Row Fetch", so it is not a problem. In addition, I did a simple test, where I had a page item "P102_Value" with some value and in my script I had instead var subnetIDNumber = document.getElementById(#SUBNET_ID#); this var subnetIDNumber = $v('P102_Value'); and it worked perfectly fine....but cannot make it working against SQL Select statement :-(
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLPPPP.
Thanks

Change your column link to send the subnet_id column's value to the function call (you mentioned it, but I m not sure if you actually did)
javascript:ViewNetworkDetails(#SUBNET_ID#);<u>You are passing the parameter value to the function, but not defined any parameters in the function definition</u>(this is possible in JS, any extra parameters is ignored)
So, modify the function to accept the subnet ID parameter(I am actually surprised how you missed this) and assign that parameter to variable.
<script type="text/javascript">
function ViewNetworkDetails(pSubnetId){
var apexSession = $v('pInstance');
var apexAppId = $v('pFlowId');
var subnetIDNumber = pSubnetId;
//rest of the code would be the same

Need to insert values into a table from a XML file

Hi,
I'm an Oracle 9i/10g DBA with quite a few years experience, but I'm new to XML and dealing with it in database terms. I've been given a project that entails pulling XML values out of a file (or 100's of them) and storing them in the database so that they are searchable by end-users. The project is classified as secret so I'm unable to upload the specific XML or any info relating to the structire of the XML or the table I will use to insert the values into - sorry!! So, I've created an XML file with a similar structure to help people understand my predicament.
The end-users only need to search on a subset of the total amount of columns from the table I'll insert data into, although the XML file has a lot more, so I dont need to store the other values - but I will need to store the name of the XML file (or a pointer to it so I know what XML file a particular set of values belong to) in another column of the table along with its associated values.
I've been using the XMLTABLE function with some degree of success, although I had better succes using the XMLSEQUENCE function. However, I found out this is deprecated in 10g and replaced with XMLTABLE, so I guess it's better if I use this in case we ever need to upgrade to 11g.
The main problem I've been having is that some elements in the XML files have multiple values for the one record when all the other records are the same. In terms of storing this in the database, I guess it would mean inserting multiple rows in the table for each element where the value differs. Here is a dumbed down XML file similar to what I've got along with the other SQL I've used:
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>+
+<House>+
+<Warehouse>+
+<WarehouseId>1</WarehouseId>+

CREATE TABLE xmltest OF XMLTYPE;
INSERT INTO xmltest
VALUES(xmltype(bfilename('XML_DIR', 'test.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8')));
Consequently, I need to...
1) Retrieve the results from the XML file for all 3 warehouses where multiple values for the same sub-element are shown as 2 rowsthe result set. (I am guessing there will be 4 rows returned as warehouse sub-2 has 2 different elements for <WarehouseName>.
2) Build a case statement into the query so that regardless of the sub-element name (i.e State or County), it is returned into the 1 column, for instance County.
So, if I run a query similar to the following...
select y.WarehouseId, y.Town, y.County, y.Area
from xmltest x, xmltable('/House/Warehouse' .......
I would like to get results back like this...
ID Town County Area
1 Southlake Texas 25000
2 Poole Dorset 40000
2 Solihull West Midlands 40000
3 Fleet hampshire 10000
Sorry for the non-formatting but I hope this all makessense to someone out there with what I'm trying to do.
I appreciate any help whatsoever because, as i said before, I'm totally new to XML and trying to read the vast amount of information there is out there on XML is all a bit daunting.
Many thanks in advance,
Shaun.

Hi again,
Thanks for keeping the post open for me. I've had a look at the post illustrating the XFileHandler package, and tried to alter it to make it fit with my XML files. To help explain things, my XML file looks like this:

</House>And the XFilehandler package looks like this (I'm just trying to do a simple select only on WarehouseId & WaterAccess for the time being to keep things simple):
create or replace package XFileHandler as
TYPE TRECORD IS RECORD (
    WID     NUMBER(2)
, WACCESS VARCHAR2(5)
type TRecordTable is table of TRecord;
function getRows (p_directory in varchar2, p_filename in varchar2) return TRecordTable pipelined;
end;
create or replace package body XFileHandler is
function getRows (p_directory in varchar2, p_filename in varchar2)
   return TRecordTable pipelined
is
    nb_rec          number := 1;
    tmp_xml        clob;
    tmp_file         clob;
    rec               TRecord;
begin
    DBMS_LOB.CREATETEMPORARY(TMP_FILE, TRUE);
    tmp_file := dbms_xslprocessor.read2clob(p_directory, p_filename);
    LOOP
      tmp_xml := regexp_substr(tmp_file, '<\?xml[^?]+\?>\s*<([^>]+)>.*?</\1>', 1, nb_rec, 'n');
      exit when length(tmp_xml) = 0;
      --dbms_output.put_line(tmp_rec);
      nb_rec := nb_rec + 1;
    select y.WID, y.WACCESS
    into rec.WID, rec.WACCESS
    from xmltable('/House' passing xmltype(tmp_xml)
                  columns WID NUMBER(2) PATH 'Warehouse/WarehouseId',
                              WACCESS VARCHAR2(5) PATH 'WaterAccess') y;
      pipe row ( rec );
    end loop;
    dbms_lob.freetemporary(tmp_file);
    return;
end;
end;Now, when I run the query:
select * from table(XFileHandler.getRows('XML_DIR', 'XFileHandler_test.xml'));I get the error: ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [17285], [0x5CFE8DC8], [4], [0x45ABE1C8], [], [], [], []
I had a look in the dump file for anything obvious, but nothing really stands out. Is there anything obvious in my code that I'm missing or something else which you may think could be causing this error, e.g in the regular expression regexp_substr?
Many thanks,
Shaun.

Passing request value into a query

Hi,
I was wondering whether it was possible to pass a request value into a report query in apex 3.2.
I have a button with a submit value of "ALL" which when pressed i need to open up all the contents of a query as opposed to on those that have been completed.
SELECT *
FROM TABLE
WHERE (STATUS = 'COMPLETE' OR :REQUEST = 'ALL')
I was expecting this to return only completed records, unless the Button is pressed and then I want to return all records regardless of status.
Can someone please advise whether this will work? At present it does not seem to recognise the request.
Cheers,
ca84

query could not be parsed: select "ASCIDD" "ASCIDD", "TEMIDD1" "TEMIDD1", "NAME" "NAME", "LSTIDD1" "LSTIDD1", "ASCORDOPT"
