Passing Multiple Checkbox Values Help

Brand new to Coldfusion and I'm struggling to figure out how to pass values from multiple checkboxes on a form to a confirmation page and then an action page that inserts the data. The confirmation page will simply show their selections and allow them to go back and reselect, or submit to the action page.
Form > Confirmation Page > Action
I've found a couple of examples on the Web that mention looping, and one that said to use a WHERE IN clause but I'm lost on how to pass it through and insert at the end. Maybe the confirmation and action can be on the same page?
Questions:
1. Is it better to name all of the checkbox values the same or append some type of extra character and then evaluate at the end?
2. Do I need to have hidden fields on the confirm page to transfer the data inbetween the form and action page?
3. Can the confirmation and action be on the same page or should they be separated?
4. What should the Query/Insert statement look like on the action page?
I'm looking to see a basic example of code from start to finish, any help is greatly appreciated as I'm in learning mode.
Thanks

Ok so I know how to pass everything to the second page. I'm guessing I need hidden fields on that second page to go through to the last page where I insert the records...correct?
That is one way to do it. But one might also want to look into session variables if they have not been considered.
When I've tried to do this I end up with something like this item1,item2,item3 all together which the database will not accept. How do I write the multiple values to the database so they are considered to be separate records.
item1,item2,item3 is what you are supposed to get according to the HTTP protocol standard. To insert that into a database you just need to recognize that you are getting a list and use ColdFusions list handling functions and tags to help you iterate through the list and do what you need to do with the data.
This is a very hand code snippet for this type of work:
<cfloop list="#listVariable#" index="aVar">
#aVar# will equal one list item.
</cfloop>

Passing multiple integer values as parameter in SSRS

Hello,
I am trying to pass a comma separated multiple integer value parameter in SSRS report and it errors out complaining that it is not able to convert the nvarchar value to datatype int. But it works fine when I pass a single value. Here is the code I am using
for the report and I am stuck at passing multiple values.
SELECT
id,count(*) as cnt
from table
and ID in (@id) group by id
eg: if I pass 10,20,30 then I would get error however if I pass 10 then it works fine
Is there a different method to pass multiple integer values?
Thanks for your help.

A comma is, of course, a textual character and not an integer, thus the error you are getting. Multi-value parameters can be used for this.
Select "Allow multiple values"and set data type to Integer. Multi-value parameters deliver the values as an array. The query interface is smart enough to convert them to the proper syntax (comma-delimited) automatically so a statement like:
WHERE Field IN (@id)
where the parameter has an array of values {1, 2, and 3} is interpreted as:
WHERE Field IN (1,2,3)
You do not need to manually convert it in a transact SQL query. That is not the case for displaying the value array in your report. If you wish to display the array (described above) in your report as "1, 2, 3", you will need to use a join expression:
=Join(@id, ", ")
As DJ described, the other part to a multivalue parameter is the Available values. These can be set explicitly but given your example, I think it would be best to create a new dataset that retrieves a distinct list of the IDs that can be retrieved, perhaps
something like:
SELECT DISTINCT GroupName, GroupID
FROM table
WHERE [criteria]
Set the available values to use this query with GroupName (or whatever user-friendly field you choose for your dataset) as the label and the id as the value. The label field should be something the the target report user can easily identify the correct group
using.
If you don't want to or can't use a multivalue parameter for some reason then you will need to manipulate your parameter value prior to consuming it in your query. When you add the parameter to the TSql query and save the dataset, SSRS adds it to the Parameters
property of the dataset. Open the dataset properties and select the parameters tab. You should see your parameter in the list. click the expression builder (fx) button next to the value and enter this expression:
=Split(@id,",")
Note that the second element of the expression is the delimiter. If your text input has comma-space as a delimiter (1, 2, 3 vs 1,2,3) then that element must include ", ". My example just has comma so if you use that with a string "1, 2, 3"then
the resulting array will still have 3 elements but the 2nd and 3rd elements of the array will have a preceding space which will cause your dataset to error with the same error. As long as there are no non-numeric characters in any of the elements, the split6
will create the text array, SSRS will dynamically generate the correct "IN"syntax (comma separated) and SQL will convert the elements from VARCHAR to INT on the fly.

Passing Multiple Single Values from Sender Query to Receiver Query in RRI

Dear All.
We have 2 - Bex Reports ZBEX_1 & ZBEX_2
1. In ZBEX_1 having the fileds data like the below.
Account Doc. Number - Clearing Document --- Amount
12345                  - 65432                --- 100
12346                  - 54321               --- 50
2. In ZBEX_2 having the following data.
Account Doc.Number -- Amount
45342                     - 10
66666                        - 100
65432                       -   10
54321                      - 5
3. I am Traying to create RRI Between ZBEX_1 & ZBEX_2 , with Sender query as ZBEX_1 and Receiver query as ZBEX_2
If I drilldown from ZBEX_1 need to show the following output in the ZBEX_2
Account Doc. Number - Amount
65432                       -     10
54321                      -     5
i.e If Clearing Documnet in the ZBEX_1 is same as Account Doc. Number in ZBEX_2 those Account Doc. Numbers I have to show in the output of ZBEX_2 RRI Report.
Both the records I have to show at a time.
So please suggest me
1. How to pass Multiple Single Values to Next Query using RRI
2. How to Map Clearing Document to Account Doc. Number in RRI.
NOTE: Account Doc. Num length is same as Clearing Document
Please suggest me.
Thanks & Regards,
Kiran Manyam

Your scenario of passing values from multiple records in Source does not suit well for RRI Jumps.
In ZBEX_2 query, create a Replacement path variable on Clearing Document. In that Replacement path variable, use the Replacement with query option and choose the ZBEX_1 as the underlying query source.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/bd/589b3c494d8e15e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
When you execute ZBEX_2, what ever clearing document values that ZBEX_1 has will be passed through the replacement path variable as a filter to the ZBEX_2
Hope it helps!

Passing multiple single values to a Planning Sequence

Hi All,
      We are using BEx Analyzer for planning. We are passing multiple single values for a single variable , to a IP-planning sequence. Planning sequence is only taking the last value passed and ignoring the rest.
Multiple variable values are passed as below:
Name                            Index                 Value
VAR_NAME_1     1     ZCC
VAR_LINES     1     5
VAR_VALUE_1     1     A10000001
VAR_VALUE_1     1     A10000002
VAR_VALUE_1     1     A10000003
VAR_VALUE_1     1     A10000004
VAR_VALUE_1     1     A10000005
These cell references are passed to "command button" through the "Command Range" property.
The values are calculated correctly but for only one Cost center (last one in the list) , In this case only data for the Cost Center "A10000005" is processed and rest of the cost centers are ignored.
What am I missing here? I appreciate your help.

I want to access multiple checkbox value(its true or false when clicked)

dear sir
i want to access multiple checkbox value whether its true or not from one jsp to another jsp.how i can do this. because based upon checkboxes records are deleted and added.
when i check on checkboxes and click on delete button the records are deleted onlybased upon checks.and these request forward to another jsp.so plz tell me about this.
for example in gmail yahoomail or other mail various checkboxes are there. and if we check them and click on delete button then all checks mail are deleted.
i will be very thankul to u sir..
plz tell me.in this time i m in problem of this type.

Disabled fields and unselected checkboxes/ radio buttons/ list elements are not tranmitted when a form is submitted. So when you try to getParameter() you'll only get the selected fields or you'll get a null if the field was disabled/ not selected.
When you use this for a set of checkboxes/ radio button, you'll only get the selected ones. If nothing was selected, you'll get null. Work on your logic with this in mind.

Passing Multiple Single values in User Exits

Hello All,
I have a requirement where in, a user could enter either a single value, multiple single values or a combination of a range and single values.
This set of values need to be passed on to a variable with in a user exit. I have been able to get either one single value to pass or one single range. I am unable to pass on multiple single values or a combo of a range and single value from the user entry.
I would appreciate if anyone could help me with the structure of the code to pass multiple single values or combo.
I was wondering if I would need to pass the values into an internal table first and then pass it to the user exit variable. However, as I am not a strong ABAP resource, I am struggling.
Any and all help is deeply appreciated.
Warm regards
Sunil

Hello Marc,
There are two requirements which I was trying to address.
1. IN few queries, the users enter either a range of profit centers or multiple single values in the pop-up window. I need to pass those values from that variable to an variable of type USer Exit to derive partner profit center values with in the query.
For this I have been able to pass values for either a single value or a single range. I am unable to pass on values for multiple single values or a combo of a range and single values.
2. I am trying to create a query for the top 5 customers to be used in the Corporate Performance Monitor. However, when I am trying to use the variable of type "replacement path", the system does not allow me to release it for OLE DB for OLAP.
To obviate this problem, I was hoping to create a variable of typeUSer Exit" and then pass the values from the variable of type "replacement path" to this variable.
Is it a workable solution? I was hoping that the method to pass the values in both the above scenarios might be similar.
Please guide me.
Warm regards
Sunil

Passing multiple character values from parameter form to PL/SQL

Hi,
I am passing multiple character values from parametr form into
the report query and a PL/SQL procedure. It works fine with the
query, when I use &variable. But, it doesn't compile in PL/SQL,
so I just used the :variable, but not getting any records in the
PL/SQL procedure. Any suggestions?
sincerely,

gj / Fedro,
Only using the &referecne, you can pas a string / multiple character values and this would work for query only.
The bind parameter in PL/SQL wouls support only single value

Passing multiple select value from BI publisher to PL/SQL functions

Hi - I have designed a report which pass parameters (Multi select) into a function to get the output result. When a single parameter value is passed to the function, report is being displayed. When multi select value is passed to the function it is returning the error `wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'F_PROCESS_WAVE_DATA'. When i checked the parameters passed to the function, i can see each multi select value is treated as different value and is assigned to different parameter in the function.
Any help on passing the multi select parameter into function will be helpful.
Regards,
Vikram.

All - Issue was resolved. I followed the following steps to resolve the issue
1. Create a PL/SQL table type variable as VARCHAR2 in the database - Say as Larray
2. Create PL/SQL type record and table for the record in database. Lrec, Ltable
3. In BI report pass multiple select LOV variable as Larray(variable).
4. In DB function, Parameter should be defined as LARRAY.
5. Return PL/SQL table type Ltable from the function.

Vikram.

Insert multiple checkbox values

Hello,
I have a basic form with a number of areas that have multiple choice checkboxes. Checkboxes , meaning that one or 3 or none can be selected and they all share the same id/name but of course have differing values.
I can not find anywhere in the ADDT that allows me to select the checkbox name when I do my insert. I want all the values of each individual checkbox name to be inserted into their respective fields.
In the Insert transaction wizard I get three types of checkbox values (Yes or No, 1 or 0, or -1 or 0.
None of those seem to relate to the common occurance of checkboxes with string values, all to be inserting into one specific table field.
Is it possible or do I need to write some hand code to insert an array?
Thanks in advance for any help rendered,
Steve

Eeeeee.... Now that's an interesting widget.. You create a text field, but then need to create tables in your DB to pull the data to populate the checkbox fields that magically show up from the text field when rendered by the server.. Very interesting. Seems mine have formatting issues:
http://www.peninsulaequipment.com/phoneAddy.php
Only the "Screening Media" checkboxes are dynamically generated but for some reason they do not render left justified like the example shown here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0_ADDT/help.html?content=ch5_form_controls_33.ht ml#1028650
Are there workarounds for the formatting problem or known reasons why it does not look like the example?

Multiple Checkbox Values Into One Field

Hopefully someone can help me with this issue I'm having.
I'm trying to save the values of multiple selected checkboxes into one field separated by commas through ADDT's Insert Transaction code. I can do this easily with DW's standard insert record wizard by using the PHP implode() function but I haven't been able to figure it out with ADDT's code.
<form>
<input type="checkbox" value="1" name="program[]" /> Program One
<input type="checkbox" value="2" name="program[]" /> Program Two
<input type="checkbox" value="3" name="program[]" /> Program Three
<input type="checkbox" value="4" name="program[]" /> Program Four
</form>
THIS IS ADDT'S CODING
$ins_quoteManager->addColumn("programs", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "programs");
THIS WORKS VIA DREAMWEAVER'S INSERT RECORD WIZARD
Original: GetSQLValueString($_POST['programs'], "text"),
Modified: GetSQLValueString(implode(',',$_POST['programs']), "text"),
Anyone know how to modify the ADDT code with the implode function to get this to work?

Have you tried ADDT´s "comma-separated checkboxes" form control, which will also store the values into a field of your choice (and of course retrieve them from there on update record - pages) ? The only possible drawback might be, that the checkboxes can´t be defined statically, means that the array of value/label - pairs will be retrieved from another table by establishing an additional recordset.
Cheers,
Günter

Passing multiple session values from cold fusion into a flash movie

Hello all,
I know that to pass multiple variables into a flash movie
you could use the embed tag like this(with the & between each
variable):
<embed
flashvars="variable1=value1&variable2=value2"
></embed>
Now to pass a single session variable from coldfusion in i
did the following; which worked:
<embed
src="ASdb.swf"
FlashVars="UserName=<cfoutput>#session.userName#</cfoutput>"
width="550" height="400" autostart="true">
</embed>
Note that i had to use the cfoutput tags to get the value
stored in the variables. Now; i tried to do the same thing for two
session variables and the second one does not get read in. Here was
my code:
<embed src="ASdb.swf"
FlashVars="UserName=<cfoutput>#session.userName#</cfoutput>&testTypeID=<cfoutput>#session .testTypeID#</cfoutput>"
width="550" height="400" autostart="true">
</embed>
Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Thank you
very much in advance.

Hold on there was a little error: My final code that did not
work was the following:
<embed src="ASdb.swf"
FlashVars="UserName=<cfoutput>#session.userName#</cfoutput>&testTypeID
=<cfoutput>#session.testTypeID#</cfoutput>"
width="550" height="400" autostart="true">

How to pass multiple MDX values for a single parameter into a drill-through report?

I'm thinking this will be an easy question for any experienced SSRS/MDX developers, at least I hope so! I've created a report that gives the user the option to choose viewing data for the current/active week, or YTD. Depending on which link the
user selects, the report simply calls itself and needs to pass in the parameter value for Active week. If it's active week, the parameter value will simply be "true". If it's YTD, the parameter value needs to be both "True" and "False" so the current
week's data is accounted for as well. I've set everything up except for the final step, and I have no idea what to type into the Value field below. I've tried different things: false, as you see below (it errors saying I'm missing the parameter
value), the value in MDX format: =[School Dates].[Active Week].&[True] (it said I was missing a bracket), a 1 instead of the word true (again, missing a parameter value). Nothing is working.
So my question is kindof two-fold: 1) how do you pass in the value at all and 2) more specifically, how do you pass in multiple values (both true & false) ??

I'm sorry for being so dense, but I'm not quite following, although what I've tried makes me think if I can follow you, it will work :)
To answer your initial questions, you are correct with both your assumptions:
1) detailType is the parameter that specificies YTD/Weekly, this is a "report defined" parameter that I am using to determine which Row Group to display (either YTD or Weekly)
2) SchoolDaysActiveWeek is the parameter that is being set to either true or false -- this is a field in the cube that states whether that record is for the current week or not
So in following your instructions, well that's the problem I'm not quite following :)
1) When you say Delete the SchoolDaysActiveWeek parameter from the report only, do you mean to mark the parameter as Hidden? If so, I've done this.
2) I'm not quite sure where to use the statement you provided me. You said to put it in the dataset, but I don't know which dataset. I assume you mean the "main" dataset (as opposed to the hidden dataset that gets generated when you mark a field
as a parameter). If this is the case, the only place I could see that would allow you to use such a statement is in the Filter section of the properties. I tried this, and it did not generate any errors, but it also kept my report groups from displaying
-- it just showed a blank report, so I think it probably wasn't bringing back any rows to populate them with.
I also tried going into the Expression section for the SchoolDaysActiveWeek parameter in the second screenshot and placing the statement there. When I did this and ran the report, I would get the following error:
The 'SchoolDaysActiveWeek' parameter is missing a value
So what am I missing!?
Also, thanks for taking the time to respond!!

Passing multiple single values from R/3 BAPI to BW Query in VC

Hi Experts
I have a VC model where I am calling an R/3 BAPI which is returning a table of customer accounts. I'm trying to go directly from that BAPI to a BW Query and pass the table of accounts into the BW Query.
The BW Query has been set up with a variable to accept multiple single values for accounts, and I have mapped the correct output field from the BAPI to the correct input field on the Query.
The BAPI does not seem to be passing the table of accounts into the Query. If I hard code a single account in the mapping of the BAPI to Query call, the Query successfully returns the data I expect.
Can I pass a table of accounts to a BW Query in this way?
Many Thanks
Tom

Hi
Have you tried with 'Group & Combine' operator. Just add this operator & join your BAPI & BI Query to this. Then in ths configure of this oparator select the 'Accoount' field & gourp the data accordingly. Also specify the aggregation if required. & in the table/chart after the operator select the fields which you want to show.
I hope this is what you are looking for.

Sandeep
