Parameter with no selection

i have a report that runs through an prime compliance suite application
i created a sort parameter if they select a certain field it sorts the report that way.
when the parameter screen displays through the viewer
you have an option to select NO VALUE but nothing is passed to the parameter field to the report
i remember soemthing like i can use in the report
if hasvalue? something of that nature, as isnull isnt working.

Something is being passed back as a value, even if it's just an empty string... (I'm assuming the "NO VALUE" is the description and the value is being left blank...)
Try
IF {?Parameter} = ""
or
IF LEN({?Parameter}) < 1

How to create parameter with multiple selection in a query (SQ02) ?

Hi Exports
Do you know how to create parameter with multiple selection in a query (transaction SQ02)?
thanks.

Hi
i know how to create user parameter at SQ02,
the question is how to create multiple selection parameter?

Multiple select parameter with each selected value covering multiple sub values

Hello, everyone,
In my SSRS report, I need to set a multiple select parameter called Group, with values: group1 group2, etc....
When group1 is selected, it needs to apply to data of certain sub groups: sub-group1, sub-group2;
When group2 is selected, it needs to apply to data of different sub groups: sub-group3, sub-group4 and sub-group5;
when both group1 and group2 are selected, then, it needs to apply to data of sub-group1 to sub-group5.
I know how to do it when only one group is selected: simply use a case statement in the query to select the right sub groups based on the group selected.
But I don't know a good way to do it when multiple groups are selected.
Any help, pointers are much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Regards

Hi QQFA,
If I understand correctly, there are two parameters (Group and Sub_group) in the report. When we select group1 in Group parameter, it will auto select sub-group1, sub-group2 in the Sub_group parameter; when we select group2 in Group parameter, it will auto
select sub-group3, sub-group4 and sub_group5 in the Sub_group parameter; when we select both all, it will auto select all sub_group values. If I have misunderstood, please don't hesitate to let me know.
In this scenario, we can create a temporary table with Group and Sub_group columns, then select Sub_group column values based on the Group field. For more details, please see:
Create a dataset with the query below:
CREATE TABLE #temp([group] nvarchar(50),sub_group nvarchar(50))
INSERT INTO #temp VALUES ('group1','sub-group1'),('group1','sub-group2'),('group2','sub-group3'),('group2','sub-group4'),('group2','sub-group5')
SELECT * FROM #temp
where [group] in (@Group)
Set available values and default values of Sub_group parameter with get values from the sub_group field in the new dataset.
Note that the two parameters are all multiple parameters.
If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.
Thanks,

Hi All,
          I have a requirement where in an F4 help should be present for a selection screen parameter. After selecting the filepath and clicking OK button on the Dialog, the filename should be dynamically get created in the selection screen parameter field. For example:
if the path is D:\DOCS then at the end of DOCS the filename should automatically get populated.
Like below string:

Is there any function module or method which does this kind of activity.

Cannot assign an empty string to a parameter with JDBC type VARCHAR

I am seeing the aforementioned error in the logs. I am guessing its happening whenever I am starting an agent instance in PCo. Can somebody explain whats going on?

Heres the complete detail from logs -

Sounds like a UI browsing bug (when no path is selected from a catalog tree folder browser) - I would suggest logging a support ticket so that it can be addressed.

SSRS Report with mutli select values in parameters

Hi All,
I am creating a SSRS report and displaying the result in tablix. I want to make the report to filter by multi select values from the parameters.
I have 3 parameters. For all the three parameters, I have set "Default Values" and "Available Values". Also, modified my result dataset to get the values from parameters using "WHERE ID = @Parameter1" (example) and so
on..
3 Parameters types: 1. Yes or No
2. Date 3. Values with NULL in the DB
Problems:
1. When I am passing the default values "Yes" "No" - it is throwing errors because default values is passed as Yes "AND" No instead of "OR" condition. The value stored in the DB wil have either Yes or No but not both.
2. When I am querying the date values, it is a DateTime field in the DB. But I have queried like SELECT CONVERT(DATE, EXE_DATE) AS DATE FROM table which is giving only date in SQL but in SSRS displaying date with time.
3. When I pull the list of values for third Parameter from SQL, it has some NULL values. When I try to use it in SSRS, it is not displaying the NULL value as select option in the list of values
Any suggestions for the above three problems for SSRS with multi select values as filter will be helpful.
Maruthu | My Blog

Hi Maruthi,
Regarding the three things:
1.) I believe your first parameter is mutliselect , please convert it to single select.
Steps:
a.) Select the parameter, right click and go to parameter properties
b.) Under General Tab in DataType section remove the checkbox for Allow Multiple Value.
2.) Instead of returning as the date please return string. For example :
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR, GETDATE(),101)
Here is the list of conversion : http://www.sqlusa.com/bestpractices/datetimeconversion/
3.) As such there is no concept of null in SSRS. (Its a relational concept) . We do have nothing , which means empty. In Order to use null please select the Allow null option in the DataType section of the Parameter, This will add an checkbox for null in
the report preview. Its developer job to handle the null values in there query.

[Forum FAQ]How do I add a search feature in the parameter with long drop down list?

Introduction
There is a scenario that thousands of values in the drop-down of a parameter. Scrolling through the large drop down list is slow and cumbersome. Is there a way that we add a search feature in the report, so that it can filter down the values in the drop
down list to a smaller list of values?
Solution
To achieve this requirement, we can add a parameter with multiple keywords ahead, then all of available values which are begin with the keyword will display in the parameter list. In this scenario, we can create cascading parameters. One is a keyword parameter,
and the other parameter is based on the keyword to display the available values.
In order to enable the user to type multiple keywords, we can use the query below to create a split function which takes the list and the de-limiter as input parameters and splits all the values in the database:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[SplitParameterValues] (@InputString NVARCHAR(max), @SplitChar VARCHAR(5))
RETURNS @ValuesList TABLE
param NVARCHAR(255)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @ListValue NVARCHAR(max)
SET @InputString = @InputString + @SplitChar
WHILE @InputString!= @SplitChar
BEGIN
SELECT @ListValue = SUBSTRING(@InputString , 1, (CHARINDEX(@SplitChar, @InputString)-1))
IF (CHARINDEX(@SplitChar, @InputString) + len(@SplitChar))>(LEN(@InputString))
BEGIN
SET @InputString=@SplitChar
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT @InputString = SUBSTRING(@InputString, (CHARINDEX(@SplitChar, @InputString) + len(@SplitChar)) , LEN(@InputString)-(CHARINDEX(@SplitChar, @InputString)+ len(@SplitChar)-1) )
END
INSERT INTO @ValuesList VALUES( @ListValue)
END
RETURN
END
Use the query below create a stored procedure to return all available values for Account parameter:
create PROCEDURE sp (@keyword nvarchar(50))
AS
SELECT AccountDescription
FROM DimAccount d
inner join (SELECT [param] FROM SplitParameterValues (@keyword,',')) s on d.AccountDescription like (s.[param]+'%')
In Report Designer, select Stored Procedure as the Query type for DataSet1, then select or type sp in the drop-down list as below:
By default, there is a parameter named keyword in the Parameters pane.
Add a multi-value parameter named Account in the report, then select “Get values from a query” option for Available Values as below:

Hmmm. This didn't work. I even re-booted, and Firefox still doesn't show the search engine.
It was actually an update to an earlier engine, and I foolishly removed the old version rather than just updating it.
Is there anything elsewhere (eg. the registry) that might be preventing this?

BI: Virtual Provider for ECC Report with same selection parameters

Dear all,
I have attached screen shot of ECC report selection screen with contain Material, Plant and Dates. As report is bit complex and I need to use just ITAB (internal table) of it for further use in BEx Query and for Dashboard purposes.
Problem: I need to call this report by creating Virtual Provider in BI so that I get data from ECC at runtime as it is shares report so I can't able to save any data in transparent table as report calculated opening balances at runtime.
It is possible for me by using function module i can get itab by submit return and then create Data Source for it ?
As i make copy of FM ZZRSAX_BIW_GET_SIMPLE i cannot use submit there due to OPEN CURSOR mechanism there.
Kindly anyone suggest how it is possible to call report with same selection parameters for creation of virtual provider.
Please mention if i miss any point in explaining problem.
Feel free to ask for any query.
Many thanks.
Hoping for positive and quick responses.

please create 2 reports as given below.-
REPORT ZSZP_00007.
parameters a(5) .
parameters b(5) .
parameters c(5) .
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
LOOP AT SCREEN.
IF screen-name = 'A' or screen-name = 'B' .
get parameter id 'aaaaaaaaaaa' field a.
get parameter id 'bbbbbbbbbbb' field B.
screen-input = 0.
MODIFY SCREEN.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
start-of-selection.
your logic
REPORT zszp_00005.
PARAMETERS a(5).
PARAMETERS b(5).
START-OF-SELECTION.
SET PARAMETER ID 'aaaaaaaaaaa' FIELD a.
SET PARAMETER ID 'bbbbbbbbbbb' FIELD b.
your logic
SUBMIT zszp_00007 VIA SELECTION-SCREEN.
i hope this approach will solve your problem.
thanks

How to select value from list with multiple selections ?

HI,
i have a list with multiple selections where i show email address retrieved from database.
what i want to do is to send the selected email address to the invoiceedit.jsp.
please look at the following code which gives you the better idea.
<td class='smalltext'><select name="email" size="3" multiple="multiple">
   <%
   Connection conn = null;
   Statement stmt = null;
   Statement stmt_contactperson = null;
   Statement stmt_address = null;
   try{
      conn = getREConnection();
       stmt = conn.createStatement();
   ResultSet rs = null;
   rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT PROPERTYID, VALUE FROM PROPERTIES WHERE ENTITYID="+ g_strGroupID+" AND NAME = 'invoice_default_email'");
   int numofrows = 0;
   while(rs.next())
           %>
   <option value="<%= rs.getString("VALUE") %>" selected="selected"> <%= rs.getString("VALUE") %> </option>
    <%
       }//end of while
      %>
     </select>
    <a href="invoiceedit.jsp?entityid=<%=g_strGroupID%>&add=1"><font color="#000000">Add</font></a>
     <a href="invoiceedit.jsp?entityid=<%=g_strGroupID%>&email_to="><font color="#000000"> Edit</font></a> </td>thanks

Use a form button instead of a link so that you can send it as a request parameter to the server. In the server side just use HttpServletRequest#getParameterValues() to obtain all values for the given parameter name. If you really need a link rather than a button, then use Javascript to submit the form on click of the link.
That said, your design is bad. Java code belongs in Java classes, not in JSP files. Database access logic belongs in a DAO class. Business and controlling logic belongs in a Servlet class. Only presentation logic belongs in the JSP file. Avoid scriptlets as much as possible and use JSP EL and/or JSTL instead.

Parameter on the selection screen

Hi All,
I have a check box and a parameter on the selection screen. If the checkbox is initial, the paramter shouldn't be editable but if the checkbox is ticked, the parameter should be made mandatory to be enetered with value. How can this be done ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Refer to the following code.In this change radiobuttons with the checkbox.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B1.
parameters: p_erdat like zirpactivity-erdat modif id SC1 ,
            r1 radiobutton group RAD1 user-command ABC default 'X',
            r2 radiobutton group RAD1.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK B1.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
check sy-ucomm = 'ABC'.
check sy-ucomm = 'F8'.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
loop at screen.
    if r1 = 'X' and screen-group1 = 'SC1' .
      screen-input = 0.
    ENDIF.
    IF r2 = 'X'.
           screen-group1 = 'SC1' .
      screen-input = 1.
    endif.
    modify screen.
endloop.
Hope this helps.

Associating a process with a 'select list with submit'

Hi,
In a tabular form I have 2 'select list with submit'. If a row is selected in the tabular form I need the following functionality from each of the select lists:
Once a value is selected from the list a process will get excuted which will update a column of the checked row in the database table with the selected value from the list.
My question is,
1. How can I associate an 'after submit process' with the 'select list with submit'?
2. Can I store the selected value in a variable which I can pass as an input parameter to a PL/SQL body?
Regards,
AM

Hi,
Please see my requirement below.
I have a 'select list with submit' say P1_Select in a Tabular form Page. I want to create an after submit process (PL/SQL Process) which will take the selected value from the select list as input parameter and perform an update function for the checked row with that value.
I'm trying give a feel the procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure "P_REJECT"
(p_message IN VARCHAR2 default Null)
is
begin
FOR ii IN 1 .. APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01.count
LOOP
UPDATE NI SET NI.STATUS_NI = 'WCONF', NI.NI_Message = p_MESSAGE
WHERE NI.NI_REF = APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(ii));
END LOOP;
end;
As suggested by Flavio I created the conditional 'after submit' process where I'm making a call to the above procedure.
1. I am not sure how to pass the selected value as a parameter to the proc.
2. 'request = value, where the value is the string literal P1_SELECT'.... Could not really figure out the meaning of string literal P1_SELECT

AM

Adding a parameter with comma separated having different values

i want to add a parameter with comma separated having different values of a column. e.g i have column having values from 10000 to 99999. i want to create report for the selected values of 11111,12111,131111 etc. This selection can be one or more values as desired. Second problem is restricting the records as per parameter.

Reports doesn't allow multi-selection of a parameter in its parameter form. You need to use Oracle*Forms or an HTML Form to front end more advanced parameter form options.
However, you could have multiple parameters and combine their selections into a single parameter in the after parameter form trigger. This would at least allow you to give the user the option for selecting up to 'n' parameters. The single parameter would have to be of type "character" and you probably want to add appropriate quotes around the values in the after parameter form trigger.
Second problem is restricting the records as per parameter. Once you've got the comma seperated values into a single parameter (say p_myValues with a default value of '') then you can just use a lexical parameter to restrict the values as in:
select * from emp
where to_char(empno) in (&p_myValues)

Report - parameter name in selection screen

Hi,
I am working with a report and in that I am using a parameter for my selection screen.
Parameter : lifnr like lfa1-lifnr.
My question is: when i execute the program i see in the selection sreen 'Lifnr'. How to get a text say 'Vendor no.' instead of LIFNR in selection screen.
Thanks

Hi,
Go to the TEXT ELEMENTS of the program from the SE38 screen. Click on the SELECTION TEXTS tab, and you can give whatever desription you want for the selection screens here.
If you want the description from the data dictionary just check the check box on the right hand side.
