Pass parameter field value to a formula

Hi ,
I want to pass a parameter value to a formula. I have a formula FX rate and want the user to be prompted to enter a fx rate and that value to be passed to the FX formula.
Thanks!
Romeo

Yes, it is. Similarly to my last post.
Do something like this to the formula that has Fx Calculation.
({?FX Rate} * {another.field})/{some.other.field}
Whatever value the user inserts to {?FX Rate} will be populated or passed to the formula seen above.
I hope that makes sense.

Parameter Field Value Elimination Based on Another Parameter

I'd like to make 3 grouping parameters with static values to produce 3 drop downs in the user prompt. The problem is, I'd like for the second drop down to eliminate the choice made from the first drop down and the third drop down to have been eliminated to only one choice. Is there a way to edit the parameter field values from the formula workshop?...Or maybe this would be better handled in the group selection formula area. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Can't be done unless you use one of the 3rd-party Crystal viewers listed at http://kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html
A simpler approach is to have a record selection formula that causes no records to be retrieved if 2 parameters have the same selected value. You can then unsuppress a text object telling the user their parameter selections can't be the same.

How to use a parameter field value as a substring in a "like" statement?

Hi all,
I'm trying to use a parameter field in a Record selection formula where the parameter field value would be a substring of the data stored in the field.
My parameter field (SlctResearcher) is constructed as follows:
Type: string
List of Values: static
Value Field: (Reports) RptAuthors
(in Value Options) Allow custom values?: True
{Reports.PubDate} in DateTime (2009, 04, 01, 00, 00, 00) to DateTime (2010, 03, 31, 23, 59, 59) and
{Reports.RptAuthors} like "*{?SlctResearcher}*"
When I hit F5 to generate the data, I get no results (and the parameter prompt field does not even come up...)
If I modify the formula to put a hard-coded string, like
"*Jones*"
after the 'like', I get results (all the reports where "Jones" is a substring in the RptAuthors string.) If I modify the formula to just use the parameter field without the quotes/stars like:
{Reports.PubDate} in DateTime (2009, 04, 01, 00, 00, 00) to DateTime (2010, 03, 31, 23, 59, 59) and
{Reports.RptAuthors} like {?SlctResearcher}
I do get the parameter prompt field, but still no results even if I put in a valid substring value (since it is not searching for a substring anymore...)
How can I do this?
Thanks,
Will

1st thing... Make a copy of your report before doing anything!!!
To use a SQL Command, you'll want to open the Database Expert and look at the Current Connections. Expand the data source and the 1st option you see is the Add Command option.
To find the SQL That CR is currently using, choose Database from the menu bar and select Show SQL Query...
You can copy this and paste it directly into the command window. (If you you can write your own SQL you don't need copy CR's, it's just an option.)
You'll also want to take not of any parameters that you have, you'll need to add them the the Parameter List of the command as well... be sure to spell them EXACTLY as they are in the design pane.
Anyway, once the SQL statement is in the Command window you'll be able to alter the WHERE clause to use the wild cards.
For future reference... What type of database are you reporting against???

Pass javascript field value to ABAP field value

Hi all,
how can i Pass javascript field value to ABAP field value and utilise that value within layout.

since you are new here, may i suggest you to search the forum, before posting a question. This has been discussed many times here.
to set a js variable value to a ABAP variable value, you cannot do it on the client side, your page has to go for a server rountrip so that the value can be set into a ABAP variable.
for this we generally follow the approach of setting the js variable value to a hidden html element (input type=hidden) and submit the form, and then in oninputprcessing retrieve the value from the form field and set it to a ABAP variable.

Report parameter field value has a single quote. need to escape before pass

Report has a parameter whose value might have a single quote in it. If I pass that value directly into the SQL Command... like
where ... user_name = {?parm_user_name}...
which would translate to
user_name='O'Donnel Honda'
I am getting an error... so would like to convert this parameter value into 'O''Donnel Honda' before passing into the query.
I created a formula called parse_user_name with following:
Replace ({?parm_user_name}, "'", "''")
And used in the query like
where ... user_name = {@parse_user_name}...
I am getting an error like invalid SQL92 character...

I think you should use the condition like this
where ... user_name = '{?parm_user_name}'
keep the parameter in single quote at the command level itself.
Now use the same formula like
replace({?Parameter},"'","''")
This works only if the parameter is a single value parameter but not multi value parameter.

Forms personalyzation, passing Form field values to SRS concurrent request.

Hi,
Iam calling an SRS from forms personlization. Can any body tell me how to pass the Form field values as parameters to the Reports. (Example when they call this Concurrent request from Transactions screen, The invoice number should be defaulted in the report parameter).
Regards,,
Anil.

Hi,
You can use FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST to submit a concurrent progrm with parameters given.
For example, get the invoice number into v_invoice_no and call a function included code bellow.
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST(
<app_short_name>,
<concurrent_short_name>,
to_char(SYSDATE,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI'),
FALSE,
v_invoice_no,chr(0),'','','','','','','','',
'','','','','','','','','','');-- 100 ARGUMENTS FROM THE BEGINNING
Where chr(0) must be the last argument.

How to ignorenon-numeric parameter field value

Post Author: burhan.survery
CA Forum: General
I am passing a parameter to a subreport. While running the report, I get an error which says that the parameter field is a non-numeric value. I'm not sure why since, the parameter field should be passing a quantity. Is there a way for me to check if the parameter field is passing a non-numeric value and if so, ignore it so that the report continues.
thanks.

Strange! I would have imagined from the fact that it gave you the original "non-numeric" error that it must be passing a string (how can a number be non-numeric!), but that's clearly not the case. I'm stumped... What does Crystal identify the 'source' field as (do a 'browse data' or 'show field types')? I assume that the parameter datatype is the same as the source field?
What's your data source (SQL Server, DB2 etc...)? Is there a way you can validate everything is numeric outside of Crystal?

Parameter Field Value returns "no records"

I am using Crystal 11 and am new to Crystal but not to other Reportwriters. I have a Crystal report that has 2 parameter fields, one is "Enter Date" that prompts for the start and end date, the other "Select Items" prompts for the supply Item Numbers to be included in the report. In the "Edit Parameter: Select Items:" edit/create parameter dialog, the Select Item parameter has "Allow Multiple values" and "Allow discrete values" set to true. The report runs fine and returns any items entered in the "Select Items" prompt that has usage during the start & end date. My problem is ... if the entered Item Number for the Select Items parameter returns no records, I cannot report that Item Number as having zero usage. I cannot find a way at the time of report running to identify and report the "not found" items. I would also like to report the Start and End Dates parameters requested, but cannot, the Enter Date parameter returns an empty parameter field across the whole report. I'm sure other users have had this problem of reporting the requested parameter values. Need assistance.

Jeff's answer is one way to do it. There are others:
If you want the items with no data interspersed with the other items (say, in item number order), then you'd change the report to use your item master table and do a left join from that to the usage data. If a field from the usage table is null, then there was no usage, and you can condition a message based on that.
Or, if your parameter selects item numbers without some type of "ALL" option, then you can use arrays to keep track of which if the selected items printed. Then in the report footer, compare the list of items reported to the parameter items, and show which item numbers had no usage. (This might run a tad faster than the separate subreport that Jeff suggested - but maybe not...)

Need Help in Field Symbol for Dynamically passing table field value

Hi All,
In my internal table I am having data.
I am dynamically forming table field name and substitute for the another table field name to pass DATA.
but I am getting the Variable name insted of Value ie Data.
I am using Field Symbol for this.
data:
Field-symbols <TS> type any.
field1 type string.
LOOP AT TABLEFIELDS INTO WA_TABLEFIELDS.
            READ TABLE TEST WITH KEY NAME = WA_TABLEFIELDS-FIELDNAME.
            IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
              CONCATENATE 'WA_' WA_TABLEFIELDS-TABNAME '-' WA_TABLEFIELDS-FIELDNAME INTO Field1.
              Assign Field1 to <TS>.
                ALL_VAL-VALUE = <TS>
"After substituting the <TS> into ALL_VAL-VALUE field I need a DATA to be passed but the variable name is appending"*
         APPEND ALL_VAL.
            ENDIF.
          ENDLOOP.
kindly how to pass the value into the table.
Thanks in advance.
San

Hi,
pls assign a break point in
CONCATENATE 'WA_' WA_TABLEFIELDS-TABNAME '-' WA_TABLEFIELDS-FIELDNAME INTO Field1.
Assign Field1 to <TS>.
ALL_VAL-VALUE = <TS>
   " Put a break point here and check for the value in <TS>.
if <TS> contains value then create a work area for ALL_VAL AND PASS the Field-Symbol to that and then append thw wa into the table...
Hope this works out!!
thanks

BODI: Is it possible to pass parameter/variable value out of a data flow?

Hi All,
Is it possible to pass parameter value out of a data flow?
I've created a custom function in my query transform to get row count, this value would be used outside the data flow to perform another logic. It looks like I'm unable to modify the output schema at the function in the query transform to explicitly map it to a particular global/local variable.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

How to read Choice Field values in a Formula of ohter shrepoint field

Hi,
i want to read choice field values(total values) in formula of other sharepoint calculated column field.
Can anyone please help me.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep

Hi,
According to your description, you might need to set the value of a column with the option from a Choice Field based on the value of another column(Site Column 1).
The OOTB Calculated Formulas doesn’t provide such functionality to read the options of a Choice Field, we can do it via SharePoint JavaScript Client Object Model instead.
Here is a documentation about SharePoint JavaScript Client Object Model :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/hh185006(v=office.14).aspx
An articel about using SharePoint JavaScript Client Object Model with steps in detail for your reference:

How to pass input field value from one region to another ?

What I am trying to do :
I have one page with 1 region with one text field and an apply button and a report region.
I want to be able to enter a value in the text field, click on apply and exploit this value in the source of the report region.
Of course, I want the the value in the text field remains after the click on the apply button.
What I cannot control with my try :
1 the text field is always wiped off after the push on the apply button, no matter what kind of "do not clear the cache" setting I have found, and no matter the "take this value for this parameter" setting I have done every where I have found it.
2 (but I think that this is related to 1) I cannot get working the conditional display of the report region on a NOT NULL condition of the above region text field.
I have tried the code of the page 23 of the customertracking demo packaged apps, but the button properties shown are not the same than what I can find in my apps : I guess this is a difference in apex version normal feature.
I think that what I am trying to achieve must be terribly simple but I cannot see it.

Ok I have found out that it was now an interactive report that has to be done for this kind of situation, and that in my case, I needed to enable a detailled report.
Now I have another question : one of my field is rich text : how to render it in my detailled report ?

How to pass hidden field values on a click of a table row

hi all,
href = "bookAndNonBook.do"
I am very new to struts. I have created a table using displaytable tag which displays results in a tabular format. In addtion, i have a hidden field (prodType), the table rows are getting highlighted when i get my mouse on a particular row.
Following is the code from the results.jsp file
<body
onload="addRowHandlers('row', 'rowMouseOver')"
bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" leftmargin="100" topmargin="50"
marginwidth="" marginheight="" rightmargin="30">
<html:form action="/bookAndNonBook" method="post">
<display:table name="sessionScope.productSearchList" id="row"
sort="list" export="true" defaultsort="1" defaultorder="ascending"
pagesize="15" decorator="org.displaytag.decorator.TotalTableDecorator"
class="dataTable">
<display:column property="prodType" title="ProdType" class="prodType"
headerClass="prodType" media="html" />
<display:column title="Title" property="titleName" sortable="true"
class="title" headerClass="title" />
</display:table>
</html:form>
</BODY>
I am calling a funtion addRowHandlers which passes the table id (which is row) and the rowMouseover for highlighting the rows on mouse over.
the code for function addRowHandlers is
function addRowHandlers(tableId, rowClassName) {
var previousClass = null;
var table = document.getElementById(tableId);
var rows = table.getElementsByTagName("tr");
for (i = 1; i < rows.length; i++) {
rows.onmouseover = function () {
previousClass = this.className;
this.className = this.className + " " + rowClassName ;
this.style.cursor="hand";
rows.onmouseout = function () {
this.className = previousClass;
this.style.cursor='';
rows.onclick = function (){
var cell = this.getElementsByTagName("td")[0];
var ProdType = cell.innerHTML;
alert("value of prodType = " + ProdType);
when i run the above code and click on a particular row it returns me the value in the hidden field i.e. prodType for that particular row
Now where i am having problem is i want that on the basis of prodType my jsp file should call different actions for different prodType as returned....somwhat a function like this
function submitProduct(prodType) {
if(prodType == "BK")
resultsForm.action = "/bookProduct.do";
else if(prodType == "NB")
resultsForm.action = "/nonbookProduct.do";
but i am unable to figure out that how do i this..
Any help will be really appreciated
Thanks

How can I pass Flex Field value to the Call Wrap Up screen?

Hello helpers,
I am trying to get a value from the 'Flex Field' passed over to the 'Call Wrap Up' screen by using Form Personalization.
Oracle was configured by a subcontractor and therefore I do not know what the exact name of the textfield is in the Flex Field however the label is 'Method of Contact'. When i set 'Show Custom Events' to 'On', I get the response: 'CSXXXRC.INCIDENT_TRACKING.STATUS_CODE:WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE' When i enter a value in the Method of Contact field in the Flex Field.
Can anyone help?
I am a complete Newbie to Oracle.... I only know a bit about Oracle Form Personalization.
Any help would be much appreciated,

Passing parameter/variable values to containers

What options are available to pass a value assiged as a prompted variable/parameter in a plan to a container to resolve a value for a variable/parameter defined in a container which is called by the plan?
Supposed the plan is defined as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<executionPlan xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' name='setdb' version='5.1' xsi:schemaLocation='http://www.sun.com/schema/SPS plan.xsd' xmlns='http://www.sun.com/schema/SPS' path='/utilities'>
     <paramList>
          <param name='dbName'></param>
<param displayMode='BOOLEAN' prompt='install container xyz?' default='TRUE' name='do_container_param'></param>
     </paramList>
     <simpleSteps>
          <execNative userToRunAs='root'>
               <inputText><![CDATA[
:[dbName];
]]></inputText>
               <exec cmd='sh'></exec>
          </execNative>
     </simpleSteps>
<inlineSubplan planName='install_container_xyz'>
<simpleSteps>
<if>
<condition>
<istrue value=':[do_container_param]'></istrue>
</condition>
<then>
<install blockName='default'>
<component name='xyz.cont' path='/someN1FolderPath'></component>
</install>
</then>
</if>
</simpleSteps>
</inlineSubplan>
</executionPlan>
How can I pass the value assigned to dbName to the container xyz.cont to be used to resolve a value for a variable/parameter in the xyz.cont?

The new, soon-to-be-released 6.0 version of SPS handles this problem with Component Variables. With this feature, you can specify in the plan what variables to pass to the component blocks.
However, that doesn't help you in the meantime. The sample XML you list isn't quite accurate, but I think I understand what you're after. I cleaned it up a little to make it valid and took out the execNative step (not sure what the intent of that was).
Anyway, here's what I get for the plan:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<executionPlan xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' name='setdb' version='5.1' xsi:schemaLocation='http://www.sun.com/schema/SPS plan.xsd' xmlns='http://www.sun.com/schema/SPS' path='/utilities'>
<paramList>
<param name='dbName' prompt="database name"></param>
<param displayMode='BOOLEAN' prompt='install container xyz?' default='TRUE' name='do_container_param'></param>
</paramList>
<simpleSteps>
<if>
<condition>
<istrue value=':[do_container_param]'></istrue>
</condition>
<then>
<install blockName='newBlock'>
<argList dbName=":[dbName]"/>
<component name='xyz.cont' path='/someN1FolderPath'/>
</install>
</then>
</if>
</simpleSteps>
</executionPlan>
The component would look something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<component xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' name='xyz.cont' version='5.1' xsi:schemaLocation='http://www.sun.com/schema/SPS component.xsd' xmlns='http://www.sun.com/schema/SPS'>
     <extends>
          <type name='system#container'></type>
     </extends>
     <installList>
          <installSteps returns='false' name='newBlock' requireLocking='true'>
               <paramList>
                    <param name='dbName'></param>
               </paramList>

          </installSteps>
     </installList>
</component>
Note that you have to rename the block. You can't change the signature of an inherited component block (container component defines block "default". Either create a new block or use an untyped component). I think this is what you're trying to do. Please let me know if I missed.
