Pass column-name as a parameter to reports

Hello,
the code below calls a report. But now I want to sort the rows in the report. For example I have a text-item in my form-modul. If I type a column-name and press the button then the rows should be sorted in the report. Is it possible tp pass column-names as parameter to reports?
DECLARE
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
repid := find_report_object('STATIONSTOPOLOGIE');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,RUNTIME);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'html');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_SERVER,'rep_oracle-dev');
-- SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=no pdeptno='||:dept.deptno);
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
LOOP
rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
END LOOP;
IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://oracle-dev:8888/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||
substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=rep_oracle-dev','_blank');
ELSE
message('Error when running report');
END IF;
END;

Hi,
the work has been done in reports. You can use a lexical parameter in reports to add a condition for sorting to the query like:
select .. from .. where ... &p_order.
Then add another parameter to the report (for example p_param). Fill p_param via your interface in forms (SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER, ....) with the column name. Then build a report trigger like:
if :p_param is null
then
:p_order:= null;
else
:p_order:= 'order by '||:p_param;
end if;
But have a look, that p_param can only get correct values.

Passing a column name as a parameter

Good afternoon,
I was wondering if any of you ever encountered the following situation and found a method to get around it...
I recently created a pivot table using the SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query) option.
The table consisted of the following information:
- Date range, Object Type and count.
The final table looks something like this (pardon the lack of fancy markup, hopefully it will get the point across):
Date        Object A    Object B    Object D    Object G
01-apr-09   10           16         50          43
02-apr-09   1            15         77          35
03-apr-09   19           0          14          17
04-apr-09   15           7          70          20
05-apr-09   7            6          65          50And it goes on like that.
I had to create the code dynamically because I don't know what Objects I will get in any given date range (for example: I could have something for Object C and nothing for Object D in the month of March). I had a cursor loop through the object types before creating the SQL query that builds the table above.
The table is now working fine. What I'm trying to do now is do a little bit of drilling down in data.
Since everything is dynamically built, I can't give actual column names in my report. Is there any way that, when I click on, for example, the "10" on April 1st in Object A that the column header "Object A" gets passed? #COL02# only passes the value "10" which isn't what I want, and I tried the other variations such as :COL02 and &COL02. without much luck.
If you could shed some light on this problem, that would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your time.

Hi,
You can achieve passing column name as parameter with the help of jquery.
Below is the sample code
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
   google.load("jquery", "1.2.6");
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    //<![CDATA[
    $(document).ready( function() {
        $('.t20data').each( function(i) {
            $td =$(this);
            colHeader = $(this).attr("headers");
            $td.html('<a href="f?p=' + &APP_ID. + ':3' + ':' + &APP_SESSION. + '::NO:3:P3_COLUMN_HEADER,P3_COLUMN_VALUE:' + colHeader +',' +$td.text()+ '">' + $td.html() + '</a>');
    });                                  //]]>
</script>Note - U need to change t20data , :p3_column_header , :p3_column_value to match you application.
No need to add link individually by going into column attributes

thanks for your reply
i 'm doing what exactly you mention here .
my problem here is
i have 15 columns
i am executing a query based on the values of the column(column name) in the target page
1)here i am passing(all) the column values to the next page-but i want to pass only one column values(column name)
when i click on any cell of that column
OR
2)i can pass all column name to target page -there(in the target page) i can filter out
i think option 1 would good if you filter out the unwanted columns

thank in advance
pramod patel

Hello,
Using dynamic sql you can pass column name to function. well I am not getting what you really want to do ? Please write in more detail. By the way I am providing one example here. see it uses dynamic sql.
Create or replace function fun_updtest (p_columnname_varchar2 in varchar2,
p_value_number in number)
return number is
v_stmt varchar2(500);
begin
v_stmt := 'update emp
set '||p_columnname_varchar2||' = '||to_char(p_value_number)||'
where empno = 7369';
execute immediate v_stmt;
return 0;
commit;
end;
call to this function can be like this..
declare
v_number number;
begin
v_number := fun_updtest('SAL',5000);
end;

Execute immediate with using clause to pass column name dynamically

Hai,
Is there any way using execute immeidate to pass the column name dynamically. I used to pass the column value as dynamic with the help of "Using clause" . But if i use to pass column name, it is giving numberic error at run time. Eg,. for testing has been given below.
1. Column value as dynamic, which is working correctly.
create or replace function testexeimm (acctnum char)
return number as
acctbal number;
begin
execute immediate 'select balance from acct_master where acct_no=:a' into acctbal using acctnum;
return acctbal;
end;
2. Column name as dynamic which is not working
create or replace function testexeimm (colnam char)
return char as
acctbal char;
begin
execute immediate 'select :a from ch_acct_mast where rownum=1' into acctbal using colnam;
return acctbal;
end;
Any help in this regard will be highly appericated.
Regards
Sridhar

So the variable has to be numeric too:
create or replace function testexeimm (colnam char)
return number as
acctbal number;
begin
execute immediate 'select '|||colnam||' from ch_acct_mast where rownum=1' into acctbal;
return acctbal;
end;Max

Pass table name as a parameter to function

Is there a way to pass table name as a parameter to functions? Then update the table in the function.
Thanks a lot.
Jiaxin

Hi, Harm,
Thank you very much for your suggestion and example. But to get my program work, i need to realise code like follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION delstu_func(stuno char) RETURN NUMBER AS
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DELETE FROM student s' ||
'WHERE' || 's.student_number' || '=' || stuno;
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('record deleted');
END LOOP;
END;
SELECT delstu_func('s11') FROM STUDENT;
The intention is to check if such a function can perform operations such as update, delete and insert on occurence of certain values. When executing the above statement, the system returns an error message:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
ORA-06512: at "SCMJD1.DELSTU_FUNC", line 3
Could you tell me where is wrong?

How to write field catelog for this requirement?
Thanks in Advance.

I think in the fieldcat, at the time of declearation, you can alter the field description depending on the present month.
If present_month = January
wa_fieldcat-reptext_ddic = 'January'. " Field description
elseif present month = February.
wa_fieldcat-reptext_ddic = 'February'. " Field description
on so on.....................

Column name in link on sql report?

Hey guys -
Is there some way to put the column name of a report in a link?
When you define a link on a column you have the ability to use a substition string for the VALUE of a particular column... but I want to somehow pass the string value of the column.... anyone know how to do this?
Thanks

Not the value of the column.. I want the actual column name...
i.e.
Items on page to set:
txtbox1
txtbox2
Query:
Channel          INS1     INS2     INS3     INS4
Retail          13     1     333     55
Wholesale     4234     23     1     44Okay, so I want to make a link on the values in the query (the #'s) to set the values of the txtboxes...
example would be if I click on 333 I want it to set txtbox1="Retail" and txtbox2="INS3"
The channel one is fine I just use the substition string of #COL1# in the link and it replaces the value... but nothing that I can find on how ot set txtbox2="INS3"

We are on 11.5.10.2 using XML Publisher 5.6.3. We ahve a requirement, where we need to print our invoices to different printers.
How do we pass the printer name as a parameter to Bursting control file. Can the bursting control file be created to use the printer parameter.
If it can, can you please provide some examples.
- Vasu -

Hi.
I have created Formula column and it is coming in xml data.
Like this way
<CP_TAX_NO>CZ27813941</CP_TAX_NO>
<CP_CUST_TAX_REG>CZ680527617</CP_CUST_TAX_REG>
<CF_PRINTER_NAME>ABC_hp4250</CF_PRINTER_NAME>
<C_REQ_ID>12310217</C_REQ_ID>
</ISOPTWSHRDPAK>
But while i passed it bursting directory, it is not printing, if i hardcode over there then it is printing.
Bursting file code
<xapi:delivery>
<xapi:print id="printer1" printer="ipp://localhost:631/printers/${CF_PRINTER_NAME}" copies="1" />
</xapi:delivery>
In bursting program file It is display like :
[1]printer-uri:ipp://localhost:631/printers/null
If i pass hardcode value instead of cf_printer_name then it is working fine
[1]printer-uri:ipp://localhost:631/printers/ABC_hp4250
Pls suggest what to do?

How to pass column name in slect statement in query

hi,
i want to make a report where in query select statement using variable as a column name. but its not working plz guide me how can i do this.
i have created a function which return column name through variable & that variable i want to to use in select statement
select :m1 from table1;
regards

Hi,
Create a user parameter (say P_field), and assign a valid field name as initial value (say NAME), And In the Query, write
SELECT CODE, &P_field FN_FIELD FROM <table_name> WHERE <condition>And in the BEFORE PARAMETER FORM Trigger under the Report Triggers, write,
function BeforePForm return boolean is
begin
:P_field := <your_function_call>;
return (TRUE);
end;And use that FN_FIELD field in the report.
Hope this will clear your issue.

Passing column names in as a variable

I know in SQL server there is a way you can pass a variable in to the procedure and put that variable as a column name, Oracle doesn't seem to pick the variable up as a column name. Can anyone show me how with a simple select statement

I'm having a similar problem. I didn't want to open up another thread since it's related.
Problem:
I have 107 columns on a table. The number of columns increases almost every month.
I have an array of columns, which I have gathered from the db. I need to pivot the whole table, but due to indefinite number of columns, it had to be dynamic sql.
Premature Solution:
Right now, the solution that we have runs through the array of columns and uses dynamic sql to query for every single cell to get the value. Considering that we have 1000+ rows on this table, in order to do the transformation, we send 107000+ queries which is just ugly. It works, but I don't feel comfortable about it.
Solution:
Since we are able to get a single row of 107 columns, why don't we gather the whole row, and get the information out from it instead of tiring up the server? The indefinite number of columns is a problem, but we have the whole list in an array, lets say feature_array. So what I want to do is to get the date from the row, ie myRow.feature_array(1), myRow.feature_array(2), ..., myRow.feature_array(i).
I just learned that it's not possible to do it (from this thread).You just misunderstood the contents of this thread. What we said is that you can't do such things with static SQL, so you need to use dynamic sql.
What has also been told was that using dynamic sql for such a purpose is just the result of a bad design. Use a relational table as a bi-dimensional array is not right, it is possible but it's not right for the simple reason that you need a procedural language to process the dynamic SQL that is needed to retrieve data.
Probably on database programming there's only a rule of thumb and it says: "Maximize SQL minimize PL/SQL" (or any procedural language like java). The only exceptions to keep code in procedural language must depend on a complexity reduction determined by its use. In your case there is no complexity reduction determined by the use of a procedural language.
In the thread on this link(Schema integrity I discussed about how to implement a solution you can use as alternative for submitting queries with variable column names.
If you introduce parameter management in your model probably you could have your problem solved with the use of only a single SQL statement. And that may be a good designed model.

How to rename C00n generic column names in a Dynamic SQL report

I have a an interface whereby the user can select 1 to 60 (upper limit) columns out of 90 possible columns (using a shuttle) from one table before running a report.
To construct the SQL that will eventually execute, I'm using a "PLSQL function body returning SQL query" with dynamic SQL. The only problem is that I have to use "Generic Column Names" option to be able to compile the code and end up with c001 to c060 as the column names.
How can I use the names of the selected columns as the report headings rather than c001, C002... etc?
I do not know beforehand which columns, or how many columns or the order of the selected columns.
I know Denes K has a demo called Pick Columns but I can't access his code. I have a hunch though that he may be just using conditions to hide/show the apropriate columns.
thanks in advance
PaulP

Hi Paul
I would change the Heading Type in the Report Details screen to PLSQL and use the shuttle item to return the column values. e.g.
RETURN :p1_shuttle;
I'm assuming the shuttle already has a colon separated list of the column headings in the correct order?
I hope that helps
