Passing date parameter from forms to report

Hi,
I'm using forms and reports 6i.
I want to pass one date parameter from forms to reports.
Using
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_FROM_DATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FROM_DT);
giving me error REP-0091- Invalid value for parameter 'P_FROM_DATE'
This i think is because report expects date and here it is converted as varchar.
Please help

Hi Divya,
Even I use this kind of statement
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_FROM_DATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FROM_DT);and works fine for me.
This i think is because report expects date and here it is converted as varchar
Correct.
Open the report in the builder and under Data Model -> User Parameters, Go to the Property Inspector of P_FROM_DATE. Under Parameter, set Datatype as Character instead of Date.
Hope this should work. and tell me if it works(coz it wokred for me).

Pass data parameter from URL to Forms

Hi
Is it possible to pass a data parameter from asp to Forms?.
In my asp I have a url to call a form (eg. http://servername:port/forms90/f90servlet/form=testform.fmx). In my testform.fmx I accept 'account no' as a parameter for querying the records. Since I am calling this form from asp, I already have the account no in my asp. I would like to pass this account no to the form automatically.
Is it possible to pass this data parameter from url to forms?.
If possible, what changes to be made in the form. Please help.
sreekumar

Create a parameter in your form, there's a node for it in the Navigator window. Imagine it is called myParam.
Pass it on the URL like this:
http://host/forms90/f90servlet?config=myApp&otherParams=myParam=somevalue

How to pass date parameter from one page to other in BSP application

Hello gurus,
In my BSP application i have taken an input field and made its type "date" and its value also of type date and have set showhelp .
Now once a particular date is given as an input i want to pass its value to next page. And in next page i have to fire a query based on the date entered in previous page...
Now my prb is that my date value is not getting passed to the next page.
I have used
navigation->set_parameter( name = 'BEGDA' value = BEGDA ).
to pass date parameter.....still parameter is not getting passed.
plz help me with this.....
thankx.....

Hi Eddy,
By truncation i mean the entire date becomes 10 char including the ' . ' eg(06.12.2006).
so with begda being 8chars it takes my date as 06.12.200
as a result my query is not getting executed.
now i have tried to use a FM 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERN_FORMAT'.
in my 1st page but still in 2nd page its giving me following error.
<b>The data that was read could not be written to the specified target field during a SELECT access. Either the conversion is not supported for the type of the target field, or the target field is too short to accept the value, or the data is not in the appropriateformat for the target field.
</b>

Error While Passing Parameter from Form to Report

I am using Dev 9ids. And i am compiling every forms from form 5 to form 9i. and report too.
Most of reports are running.
in some i am getting problem where i do pass more than 5,6 parameters.
for e.g in one case say
set_report_object_property(rep_id,REPORT_OTHER,'comp_code='||:global.vc_comp_code||' inv='||inv||' invoice_no='||inv_no||' invoice_date='||inv_dt||' vc_name='||cust_name||' Paramform=no');
this will not run and give error FRM-41214
when i exclude vc_name or shorten the value of cust_name report run fine.
length of cust_name and in report vc_name is proper.
I also need to pass more parameters to report.
I do think there might be parameter size in any of report system files to be increased.
Pls help me out how to rectify this problem.
thanks in advance.
raj

You are not getting the result in the report because you have chosen the button event as Query.
Edit the form, for the Execute button, choose the button event Custom and use the same pl/sql code that you have used before.
If the event is Query, then the session object does not have value of A_EMPNO at the point where you have written your code. The session object is populated after the Query event has taken place.

Data migration from Forms to Reports

Hello,
Does anyone know how to migrate numerous data from Oracle forms to reports, without using parameter lists or parameters, and also withour the use of temporary tables since my platform is 8.0.6 and forms 4.5?
Thanks for any replies

hi daniel,
you could write your data from forms into a text file. seperate
the values using for example a comma (or something else).
use the text datasource in reports 9i to query directly from
this file.
find more information here:

Passing date parameter from prompt

Hi experts
I am getting some problem while passing date from a dashboard prompt.
In RPD i have changed the date column properties as DATE only so that i will get the DATE part of the data not the time stamp.
Now in the dashboard prompt i added a prompt for the date column.
I initialized the date prompt with a server variable of sysdate
when i am running the dashboard i am getting default value in the prompt(04/15/2011)
when i am changing the date it is selected as(04/15/2011)
but when i am clicking the 'Go' button the date is converting to 2011-04-15 00:00:00 due to which my report is not running and i am getting error as
View Display Error
A date value was expected (received "2011-04-15 00:00:00").
Error Details
Error Codes: QABPH2PO
can anyone help me to pass only date part
thanks in advance
regards
Gourisankar

Hi J / Srikanth
Sorry to restart the thread again.
As we discussed i have downloaded the patch and applied to my windows 32 bit machine.
But now when i run the report the report is running only for the default value(Server Variable) which is specified to the prompt. when i change the date there is no effect to the report.
When i drill down to the report i found that the date column(is prompted) is changed to teh server variable name which is might be the cause.
any input on this???

How to pass parameters from Forms to Reports

dear all,
i'm running a report from a form using run_product(), now i want
to pass a parameter from a form to report, say i want to display
all the employees of deptno=10, so what parameter should i give
in run_product() and what modifications should i make in the
report???
thanks and regards
Tariq.

Yeah,
You can pass parameters to from form to report using
Parameter list. E.g. You want to display all employees of Dept
10.
1. Create report with one user paramter say p_dept
2. Now Using Parameter list and Run Product you can call report,
see following procedure.
/* This Procedure passes department number as a paramter to
Report and displays Report.
Author - Mr. Adinath R. Kamode
Parameter - Deptname (p_dept)
PROCEDURE CALL_REPORT (V_DEPT IN NUMBER)
          V_PLIST          PARAMLIST;               -
- Parameter List and Name
          V_PLISTNAME           VARCHAR2
(30) := 'RPTLIST';
BEGIN
-- Check existance of Parameter List
          V_PLIST := GET_PARAMETER_LIST(V_PLISTNAME);
          IF ID_NULL (V_PLIST) THEN
               V_PLIST := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST
(V_PLISTNAME);
               IF ID_NULL (V_PLIST) THEN
                         MESSAGE('Error in
creating parameter list.');
                         MESSAGE('.');
                         RAISE
FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
               END IF;
-- Add parameter data , name must be same as in Report
     ADD_PARAMETER(V_PLIST,'P_DEPT',TEXT_PARAMETER,TO_CHAR
(V_DEPT));
-- Don't display parameter Form
     ADD_PARAMETER(V_PLIST,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO');
RUN_PRODUCT
(REPORTS,'DEPT.RDF',ASYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,V_PLIST,NULL)
ELSE
          DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST(V_PLIST);
END IF;
END;

Pass a parameter from webi to Xcelsius

Hi all,
Anybody knows how to pass a parameter from a webi report to Xcelsius via URL?
I need to refresh the Xcelsius data with a parameter coming from the webi report. With Live Office works but only the first time: the data is not being refreshed in Xcelsius everytime I change the parameter in the webi report.
I'm thinking in someting like openDocument.jsp but how do I read this parameter in Xcelsius? Which connection should I use?
Thank you very much,
jon

Hi Peter,
the link provided refers to Xcelsius V4.5.
In Xcelsius 2008 you have to control Flash Vars in the Data Manager.
Go to the Data Manager, Add the Flash-Var Connection Type, Select CSV-FlashVar and define a name and a range.
But i am not sure if Xcelsius Engage can handle FlashVars, because i am only working with Enterprise.
Please take a look at your manual.
For sure there are other ways to import data during runtime. Take a Look at the Connections provided by Data Manager. (e.g. QaaWS, SSRS, LiveOffice, Webservices, ...)
Also take a look at the link below. It might be another nice option for "pseudo" data connectivity

Pass User Parameters between Forms and Reports...?

Hi,
I have been trying to pass user parameters from forms to reports using
RUN_REPORT_OBJECT. I am able to run the report from the form, but still don't know how to pass user_parameters. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
AB

You can use SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY with the "REPORT_OTHER" parameter
The following example passes 3 parameters to the report:
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(pt_report_object_id, REPORT_OTHER, 'paramform=no p_param_1='||pc_param_1||' p_param_2='||pc_param_2);

How to pass a date parameter from report builder query designer to oracle database

i'm using report builder 3.0 connected to oracle database. i'm trying to pass a date parameter in the query with no success, i don't
know the exact syntax. I've tried :
SELECT * FROM igeneral.GCL_CLAIMS where CREATED_BY IN (:CREATED_BY) AND CLAIM_YEAR IN(:UW_YEAR) AND (LOSS_DATE) >To_Date('01/01/2014','mm/dd/yyyy')
it worked perfectly.
However if i try to put a date parameter "From" instead of 01/01/2014 it will not work, a Define Query Parameter popup window appear and error occurred after i fill
the values (usually i shouldnt get this popup i should enter the value when i run the report)
SELECT * FROM igeneral.GCL_CLAIMS where CREATED_BY IN (:CREATED_BY) AND CLAIM_YEAR IN(:UW_YEAR) AND (LOSS_DATE) >To_Date(:From,'mm/dd/yyyy')
appreciate your assistance

Hi Gorgo,
According to your description, you have problem when in passing a parameter for running a Oracle Query. Right?
Based on my knowledge, it use "&" as synax for parameter in Oracle, like we use "@" in SQL Server. In this scenario, maybe you can try '01/01/2014' when inputing in "From". We are not sure if there's any limitation for To_Date()
function. For your self-testing, you can try the query in sqlplus/sql delveloper. Since your issue is related to Oracle query, we suggest you post this thread onto Oracle forum.

Simon Hou
