Parameter in Crystal Report 8.8

Dear Experts,
I'm creating a stored procedures with few parameters. When I preview the report using Crystal Report 8.8, i can set parameters to NULL and the stored procedures will know to capture all information without any filtering.
But when i Preview External Crystal Report in SAP B1 8.8, I don't have the option to set the Parameters to NULL, and SAP B1 is expecting all Parameters must be filled up, it prompts me an error Paramenter [] is mandatory.
Is there any setting i can do to set parameter to NULL?
Thanks.
Regards,
Lay Chin

Have you tried, the Optional Prompt, select True in the parameter field?
Hope this helps.

Please suggest..
Thanks in advance..

In the crystal reports field explorer>right click on parameter field>create new-->name the parameter field and select the type as dynamic. Now in the value field click the row and add the database field also add another field below that by clicking on the next row so..on. The order should be like this parent field first and then child field next...... Also click on the last column to add parmater for each level.

Passing Parameter to Crystal Report

Hi Experts,
I have created and designed a Report in Crystal Report 2005. I am displaying the report in SAP B1 using Win Form . Here I want to pass 2 parameters to Report ---@FromDate and @ToDate . I have coded to pass these two parameters this way :
Dim RptDoc As New ReportDocument
        Dim ParamValue As String = String.Empty
        Dim crtableLogoninfos As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.TableLogOnInfos
        Dim crtableLogoninfo As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.TableLogOnInfo
        Dim crConnectionInfo As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ConnectionInfo
        Dim CrTables As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Tables
        Dim CrTable As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table
        Try
            RptDoc.Load(Application.StartupPath() & "\" & ReportName & ".rpt")
            RptDoc.SetParameterValue("@FromDate", "01/01/2008")
            RptDoc.SetParameterValue("@ToDate", "12/31/2008")
            Dim oForm_ReportViewer As Frm_ReportViewer = New Frm_ReportViewer()
            oForm_ReportViewer.CRViewer.ReportSource = RptDoc
            With crConnectionInfo
                .ServerName = oCompany.Server '"(local)"
                .DatabaseName = oCompany.CompanyDB '"SBODemoIn"
                .UserID = oCompany.DbUserName
                .Password = "manager@123" 'oCompany.DbPassword
             End With
             CrTables = RptDoc.Database.Tables
            'Loop through each table in the report and apply the
            'LogonInfo information
            For Each CrTable In CrTables
                crtableLogoninfo = CrTable.LogOnInfo
                crtableLogoninfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo
                CrTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crtableLogoninfo)
            Next
           oForm_ReportViewer.Text = frmTitle
            oForm_ReportViewer.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
            oForm_ReportViewer.ShowDialog()
        Catch Ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(Ex.ToString)
        End Try
But When I view the report in B1 , it throws an Exception "Report or Procedure expects parameter @FromDate which is not    supplied. "
Please help me where I am making mistake , what could be the cause of this exception..
Thanks and Regards,
Pooja Singh.

Hi Pooja Singh,
You have only set Dim ParamValue As String = String.Empty. Where are two parameter @FromDate and @ToDate?
SetParameterValue will only work if you have defined the parameters already and the parameters have the right format.

Passing single/multiple values to stored proc parameter from crystal report

I tried below solution posted on this forum to pass either a single value or multi-value to a sql server stored procedure parameter (varchar datatype) from crystal report XI R2.
In my crystal report , I am displaying all the available parameter values to the user and the user will select either a single value or multi value.
This worked when I select single value and when I say show sql query in my subreport I see the following:
{CALL "XYZ"."dbo"."storedprocedurename";1('Product 1')}
But this did not worked when I selected multiple values and when I say show sql query in my subreport I see the following:
{CALL "XYZ"."dbo"."storedprocedurename";1('Product 1,Product 2')}
I think it might work if it is as below:*
For multiple values:
{CALL "xyz"."dbo"."storedprocedurename";1('Product 1', 'Product 2')}
Please advise.
Solution Posted on this forum is as follows:
Hi,
As you must be aware of that a crystal report created of a stored procedure will allow only a single value for inserting a multiple value as a parameter in your report and pass those values to your stored procedure please follow the below work around which will be helpful for you.
Symptom
In Crystal Reports, you want to pass a multi-value parameter to a stored procedure. The problem with doing so is that Crystal Reports considers the multi-value parameter to be an array.
How can you pass a multi-value parameter to a stored procedure?
Resolution
Here are the steps to pass a multi-value parameter to a stored procedure:
1. Create a Crystal report, and add a multi-value parameter.
2. Since the multi-value parameter is treated as an array, create a formula that uses the JOIN function. Create a formula as below:
//Formula: @JoinFormula
Join ({?Multi-value parameter array},";")
====================
NOTE:
In the formula above, a semi-colon (";") is the delimiter.
====================
3. Within the main report, create a subreport based on the stored procedure, and include the parameter to be populated with the multi-value list.
4. Link the Join formula in the main report to the stored procedure parameter in the subreport.
Doing so passes a multi-value parameter to the stored procedure.
Regards,
Vinay

Hi Vinay,
First you need to make sure the stored procedure accepts multiple values in the fashion 'a','b','c'.
Then, create this formula in the Main Report:
numbervar i;
stringvar s;
for i:= 1 to ubound({?Parameter}) do
s := s + "'" + {?Parameter}<i> + "'" + ",";
left(s,len(s)-1);
Link this formula to the sub-report's parameter.
Hope this helps!

Problem passing parameter to crystal report subreport from *.aspx page

Background:
I am developing a .NET web application using Visual Studio 2005. The code behind is in VB.net. One of my asp.net pages calls a report, which is invoked when the user clicks a Print button. I have developed this report using the Crystal Reports software that is bundled with Visual Studio 2005. I am passing one parameter from the asp.net page (utilizing the VB.net code-behind on the Print button) to the Crystal report. The report consists of a main report and 5 subreports. Both the main report and the subreports use the same parameter. Both the main report and the subreports are bound to stored procedures, each of which require a parameter.
Problem:
For some reason, the parameter is not being passed from the asp.net page to the report. I am receiving the following error: "CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ParameterField.CurrentValueException: Missing Parameter Values." However, when I remove the subreports, the parameter gets passed, and the report is invoked with no problem.
I have read in other forums that there may be an issue with the Crystal Reports software that is causing this problem. I have downloaded and run the suggested hotfix, but the problem remains unresolved. I have tried changing the linking of my main report to the subreport, but that doesn't help either. It is possible that I am doing something wrong with the linking, as this is the first time I have developed a report with Crystal Reports. I need a workaround or definitive solution. Below is the aspx code used to call the report:

I've now gotten past the "missing parameter values" error, and the report renders fine in the report viewer. However, I've encounted another problem.

Select multiple items from a list box as values for a parameter of crystal report and Oracle procedure

- I have a Product list box (asp.net) used as multiple selected values for a parameter.
- The Product ID is defined in the Oracle procedure as NUMBER data type.
- In my crystal report, I have a parameter field allow multiple values as p_product_id type as Number. This is the code in my Record Selection Formula for the report:
({?p_product_id}[1] = -1 OR {Procedure_name.product_id} in {p_product_id})
- In C#, this is my code
List<decimal?> productUnit = new List<decimal?>();
int counter = 0;
decimal prod;
for (int i = 0; i < lstProducts.Items.Count; i++)
              if (lstProducts.Items[i].Selected)
                            if (decimal.TryParse(lstProduct.Items[i].Value, out prod))
                                productUnit.Add((decimal?)prod);
                                counter++;
       if (counter == 0)
                   productUnit.Add(-1);
ReportingDAO rDataFactory = new ReportingDAO();
retVal = rDataFactory.GetProductReport(productUnit);
public CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument GetProductReport(List<decimal?> productUnit)
          CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument retVal = new rptProductDownload();
          ReportLogon rptLog = new ReportLogon();
         rptLog.Logon(retVal, "RPT_PRODUCT_DOWNLOAD");
         retVal.SetParameterValue("p_product_id", productUnit);
I keep having the "Value does not fall within the expected range" when I debug. My question is, is the data type I used for procedure/Crystal report/ and C# correct ? I always have problem with the data type. Any help would be
appreciated

Setting VarChar Variable with String Parameter in Crystal Report Add Command

Setting a VarChar Variable with a String Parameter in a Crystal Report 2008 SP6.3 Add Command is causing an error with a SQL State of 42000. The Error Code depends on which value I select for the parameter. I created the @DateOpt string parameter in the Modify Command window, not in the report. If I comment out line 14 of the SQL the error does not occur.
I have attached the SQL Code and screen shots of the errors. Please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Since your parameter is of type STRING, you need to enclose references to it within the Command inside single quotes.
For example, instead of
SET @BeginDate ={?BeginDate}
use
SET @BeginDate ='{?BeginDate}'

How to supress prompt of database parameter in Crystal report schedule

Hi,
We are using Crystal Reports 2008. In a particular crystal report generated from some SAP WB query, has a parameter (prompt) on month. Now we need to schedule it for monthly execution. But we are still unable to manage the prompt for month automatically. We don,t have API license, so we can not use VBA .Net or Java programming.
Can we manage this database level prompt using Crystal Report formulas. Please suggest how can we manage this prompt so that it can be executed automatically according to schedule.
Thanks & Regards,
Avijit

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
But I know the logic that I need to assign the current month date value to the parameter supplied by BW query in the Crystal Report formula. And I tried to write a new formula using "BeforeReadingRecords" under Formula field. But this formula is not assigning any to the parameter and I am with no success.
Can you please mention how and where shoul I write the formula. Looking forward for you answer.
Regards,
Avijit

Need to use DocNum as parameter in Crystal report

Dear All,
I am developing a report for our customer now. It is a invoice report. We need 2 parameters
1) Customer code (drop-down list. can only choose one each time)
Here is my token
Customer@ SELECT CardCode, CardName FROM OCRD WHERE CardType = 'C' ORDER BY CardCode
2) Then we need another parameter to display all invoice number for the specific customer. How can I create the parameter here?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Yuka

You create two parameters in Crystal Reports. Try these
One for Cusomer (Customer@Select CardName from OCRD where CardType='C') - This would be String, Dynamic
One for DocNum - Type :Number , Static
Import the crystal report using Report Layout Manager to the app menu.
Then navigate to the patch and click on the report, when the report loads you should see a dropdown list for Customer Name and the DocNum will be blank.
Click on View-->System Information and findout field info
create a query : Select DocNum,CardCode,CardName,DocTotal,DocDueDate from OINV where CardCode=$[TableName.Field]

Optional Parameter in Crystal Report XI designer

Hi,
Is there a way to have parameter as optional in Crystal Reports XI ?
I am okay to have the parameter shown but I dont want it to be mandatory.

In CR XI the only way to make a parameter optional is to assign it a default value.
For example:
If it is a date range parameter then give the date range parameter a default value say '1900-01-01'. Set this by editing the parameter and clicking on 'Default Value' in the options section.
Then, in your selection criteria have logic similar to this.
If minimum({?date parameter}) = date(1900,01,01)
and minimum({?date parameter}) = maximum({?date parameter}) then
{database.date} = {database.date}
else
{database.date} in {?date parameter};
If the users do not change the default value for the date range then it will pick up all records otherwise limited to the date range.
If it is a numeric parameter then assign a value of zero and for string perhaps 'z' (make sure the default value will never be equal to a DB value) and then in the selection criteria use:
If {?parameter} = 'z' then {database.field} = {database.field}
else
{database.field} = {?parameter};

[Error] }Passing Parameter to Crystal Reports

When I pass the parameter to .rpt from asp.net(vb).
(e.g.: http://domain/report.aspx?p=123)
That's fine for my local development pc(w2kpro).
But, when I put the project to server(w2kserver),
(e.g.: http://domain:8080/report.aspx?p=123)
then, the web page always prompt the inquiry for the parameter.(just the attached file.)
Please help!

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the .NET Development - Crystal Reports Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly

SAP parameter token - Crystal Report 8.8

Hi,
When I want to create a parameter for selection of BPCode, myparameter@select * from OCRD works well. The idea of filtering with properties etc is fantastic.
However, what I need is to create a parameter with value in AddID in OCRD.
I have tried myparameter@select AddID from OCRD, but, it is not displaying the list for AddID capture in OCRD, instead, it display the same UI as myparameter@select * from OCRD.
How do I get by this?
I have tried, range, multiple value, does not work at all.
Did I miss something?

Gordon,
Thanks for replying.
I want to create parameter, as simple as that. Parameter should not be restricted with key value.
In standard Crystal Report, you can create parameter, if you set it as Dynamic, set it to refer to any table field, and use it in report, when running the report, the parameter will be populated with value of the referred field.
How does this work with SAP 8.8?
Are we suppose to use syntax like myparameter@select AddID from OCRD or we just create dynamic parameter as normal?
I have tried both and it does not seems to work properly.
1. If i use myparameter@select AddID from OCRD, it comes out with selecting for OCRD will all those properties, which I am not interested.
2. If I create a dynamic parameter, when runnign the reprot within SAP, nothing has come out on the list for selection.
Has anyone tried that?
No, SQL Command is not what I am interestded,

DateTime Parameter in Crystal Report

hi,
in one of my crystal reports i'm invoking a procedure which has begin date and end date as parameters.when trying to run the report it's prompting for both date and time. my requirement is just to prompt for date and time is not required. the option of editing the parameter at the report level has been disabled since the parameters dierctly get invoked form procedure , in which i've declared the datatype as
samp_proc(p_begin_date date,p_end_date date,p_ref_cursor in out).
can someone help me on this.
Thanks,

Hi Sailaja,
I'm not sure if this is a known issue or if this a bug, but there are workarounds.
Create a blank report and Insert the original report as a Subreport. Now in the Main report, create a Sttaic parameter of 'Date' type. Create a new Formula called 'Date_conv' and type this:
Datetime({?Date_parameter})
Place this formula on the Report Header and place the subreport on the Report Header too.
Right-click the subreport and select Change Subrpeort Links. Select the formula and move it to the Links to area. Next, from the drop-down on the bottom left select the datetime parameter of the subreport.
You may suppress all the other sections of the main report. The Report should now prompt for a 'Date' instead of the Date time.
Another workaround is by creating a registry key called useDateInsteadOfDateTime. Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions and create a string value called useDateInsteadOfDateTime. Set its value as the Database Server Name or the ODBC DSN name.
I would still recommend using the 1st workaround.
Hope this helps!
