Passing national characters from parameter form

Hi,
I have parameter form with field which is passed and visible in report. When I enter some national (polish) characters in this field I get '?' in my report in place of that character.
I've edited uifont.ali and screenpriner.ppd and everything else in report is ok, I get polish characters on web and pdf.
I'm working in SuSE Linux in DeveloperSuite 10g Release 2.
I've set variable NLS_LANG anywhere I could (linux shell, reports.sh), also DEFAULTCHARSET in $DEVELOPER_HOME/reports/conf/rwservlet.properties.
I've tried to hardcode BeforeFormValue and added there '<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-2" />' but nothing changes.
I always get ? in my report. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Adam

Hi,
another place where you can set NLS_LANG that you can use later in your report is in the configurazion file: <server>.conf
in the directory $ORACLE_HOME/10Grep/reports/conf.
Here you can insert the following elements into the <engine> element:
<environment id="IT">
<envVariable name="NLS_LANG" value="ITALIAN_ITALY.WE8MSWIN1252"/>
<envVariable name="NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS" value=", ."/>
</environment>
Then, when you call your report using a html form, you must insert this hidden input tag:
<input type="hidden" name="ENVID" value="IT">
Obviously you have to change the value of NLS_LANG to polish.

Pass the data from a form in workflow to z table

Hi all,
How can I pass the data from a form in workflow to z table?

Thanks for your answer, I tried the solution 2, I create "Submit" button, and ser the mapping scope to be "All data rows", it only works when I select at least one row, otherwise the data would not be passed.
Another question is I have serveral imported table parameter, for each table I have one "submit" event, I want these tables to be submitted at the same time, but if I click the submit button in one table toolbar, I can only submit the table data which has a submit button clicked, for other tables, the data is not passed, how can I achieve it?
Thanks.

How to Place the report in the WEB from Parameter Form

Hello folks,
We are using report 9i.
From the one our form we are going call the report and get
the parameter from Parameter form and generate the PDF format of report and show it in the WEB browser.
Tried with option DesType "Cache" and Desformat "PDF" in the parameter form. It generates but does not show anything anywhere.
But the following way it works. By calling from Browser directly and pass the parameter.
/reports/rwservlet?report=Weekly_Status_3.rdf&userid=user/pass&destype=cache&desformat=pdf
I would like to goto Parameter form, accept the values and generate pdf report and place it in the browser automatically.
Suggestions please..
Thanks,
Senthil

have paramform=yes added to your url, it will work.
/reports/rwservlet?report=Weekly_Status_3.rdf&userid=user/pass&destype=cache&desformat=pdf&paramform=yes
ideally all these can be set in a report server's config file cgicmd.dat.

Report is taking too much time when running from parameter form

Dear All
I have developed report in oracle reports bulider 10g. while running it from report builder data is coming very fast.
But, If it is running from parameter form it is taking too much time to format report in PDF.
Please suggest any configuration or setting if anybody is having Idea.
Thanks

Hi,
The first thing to check is whether the query is running to completion in TOAD. By default, TOAD just selects the first 50 rows, where as Discoverer must return all the rows before displaying results if a crosstab report is used.
Secondly, check that the queries and the explain plans are the same in Discoverer and Toad. Although, Discoverer shows the SQL in the SQL inspector this isn't necessarily the SQL actually sent to the database. Use TOAD to interogate the Discoverer session to determine the actual SQL and compare this SQL and explain plan to SQL you ran in TOAD.
Thirdly, check that the session context is the same in both cases. So check that any custom contexts and the USER_ENV context is the same, and if any security packages or VPD policies are used in the SQL that these have been initialised the same.
If you still cannot determine the difference then trace both sessions.

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

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
Thanks

Pass Checkbox Parameters from HTML Form to a stored procedure

I'm still looking for a solution to my forms problem. FYI, I'm not using Applications Express to build my application--I'm using straight PL/SQL. I need to know how to pass checkbox parameters from my Web form. I'm allowing folks to select one or more checkboxes on a form that will call a delete function to delete the selected records. What I read in Oracle's "Database Application Developer's Guide - Fundamentals" isn't helpful to me. If someone would point me to some examples, maybe I could see what I'm doing wrong. Here's what was written in "Database Application Developer's Guide - Fundamentals":
All the checkboxes with the same NAME attribute make up a checkbox group. If none of the checkboxes in a group is checked, the stored procedure receives a null value for the corresponding parameter.
If one checkbox in a group is checked, the stored procedure receives a single VARCHAR2 parameter.
If more than one checkbox in a group is checked, the stored procedure receives a parameter with the PL/SQL type TABLE OF VARCHAR2. You must declare a type like this, or use a predefined one like OWA_UTIL.IDENT_ARR. To retrieve the values, use a loop:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE handle_checkboxes ( checkboxes owa_util.ident_arr )
AS
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1..checkboxes.count
LOOP
htp.print('<p>Checkbox value: ' || checkboxes(i));
END LOOP;
END;
SHOW ERRORS;

I'm not sure I understand what your issue is.
If your web form has the following checkboxes defined all with the same name:
<input type="checkbox" name="attrib" value="1">one</input>
<input type="checkbox" name="attrib" value="2">two</input>
<input type="checkbox" name="attrib" value="3">three</input>Then you would create and register a procedure to handle the form submission that has a parameter with the name attrib of type owa_util.ident_arr e.g.:
create or replace procedure handle_form(attrib owa_util.ident_arr) as
iter number;
begin
for iter in attrib.first .. attrib.last loop
    -- do something with attrib(iter)
end loop;
end;
/Now the one problem with this handler (or any form handler for that matter) is that if the user selects none of the check boxes, or no value for any of the expected parameters, the handler would be called with some parameters missing or with out any parameters passed to it, and the call will error out.
To get around that you need to provide default values for all the parameters passed to your handler including the ident_arr parameters, however with ident_arr parameters that's difficult to do with standalone procedures. If you place your procedure in a package you can define package level variables of the appropriate types that can be used as default values:
create or replace package my_web as
empty_arr owa_util.ident_arr;
procedure handle_form(attrib owa_util.ident_arr := empty_arr);
end my_web;
create or replace package body my_web as
procedure handle_form(attrib owa_util.ident_arr := empty_arr) as
    iter number;
begin
    for iter in attrib.first .. attrib.last loop
      -- do something with attrib(iter)
    end loop;
end;
end my_web;
/now when you hit the situation where the user doesn't select any check boxes, the call to handle_form won't err out due to missing parameters, and the empty_arr won't have any elements to iterate over so the loop in the procedure body will be fine and you will be able to retrieve each selected check box value from the attrib array when you iterate over it.

Passing unicode characters from ExtendScript to HTML5 extension

I need to pass some Japanese text from ExtendScript to the HTML5 extension. But when I receive the string from the extension it's broken in the middle.
Is there a way to fix this?

Hi Mylenium,
The program just loads useless to use your words when I try to pass a file from Illustrator to Photoshop and when I click anywhere in Illustrator I get Program "Not responding" it doesn't crashes (stops) it stais opened but it doesn't do anything so I need to close it by force from task manager because I can't do anything with it.... Once I left it over night to save an important file and just in the morning I managed to do that so after a while it comes round but all the time there are different periouds of pending. Anyway this is not normal and I should be able to use the program in normal parameters with a powerful system.
I don't have any processor over load in the task manager I don't have anything unusual that indicates an over load of information, that's my problem. My guess is that I have a system incompatibility but I don't know where so that's why I asked for Adobe's help. Again I didn't had this problem using the same pack (CS5) with a less powerful system...
If there are any creash logs pelase tell me where can I find them ?

Remove spaces and special characters from a form field

Hi,
I am tragically new to all of this, but am trying to create a form in Adobe Acrobat 9. I am trying to use a Custom Format script to take inputs in a form field and automatically remove spaces and special characters (hyphens specifically). For example, if a user inputs "RAN-99 06" I would like it to change to "RAN9906." I found this script that will not let users input special characters
if (!event.willCommit) {
event.change = event.change.replace(/[\$#~%\*\*\^\-\+=\[\]\{\};\"\<\>\?\|\\\!]/g, "");
And that's okay, but I can't figure out how to disallow spaces. Also, the perference would be for a script to allow users to input the data as they like, but to clean it up after they leave the text field.
Thanks in advance!

From the description, I assume that the script is currently in the Keystroke event. In fact, that would be a most logical way to have it; simply ignore anything unwanted when entered.
If you want to allow the user to enter anything, but "clean it up" when done, you would place your code in the Validate event. You will have to adjust your Regular Expression so that it works globally, but that's the whole difference. This will change the value.
Note that you can also enter the code into the Format event. However, that would only change the visual representation of the value, but internally, the value would remain as entered.
Hope this can help.
Max Wyss.

How do you pass a variable from one form to another

Sorry, I am new at this.
I have an ID on one form and I want to pass it to another form and then populate a text field on the second form. How is this accomplished.

There are various ways to accomplish this depending on your applications' needs.
Read up on the manual, especially on session state management http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/appdev.310/e10499/concept.htm#CIHCFHBD
This will get you familiar with the basics of url syntax and and session state after which you will have no problem implementing what your asking

Passing Null Characters from Unix Shell Script to Java Program

Hi Experts,
Facing an issue with a shell script....
The shell script has 10 input parameters....
1st Parameter is a compiled Java program name(This can keep changing)
Rest 9 are the parameters of the Java Program...
The following piece of code is working when Test "a z" "b t" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" is hardcoded.
lv_java_string=`java Test "a z" "b t" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" ""`
The whole thing being dynamic.....
But when I dynamically populate the same on to a parameter lv_java_param and then execute the same
lv_java_string=`java $lv_java_param`
if i echo $lv_java_param its giving me Test "a z" "b t" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" correctly
Im facing some issue...... The issue is " is being treated as a parameter itself and the space between a and z is not taken into consideration and hence z is taken as the 2nd parameter
Issue seems to be something like the precedence in which the above statement is executed, because of which "s are calculated/manipulated. Is it something like
a) $lv_java_param is computed first and then java $lv_java_param
b) or java $lv_java_param is run on the fly......
Any help is much appreciated.

Using national characters in Reports Parameter Form

Hi,
I have Reports Server 11gR1. When I specify paramform=yes when running report, I get Parameters Form. If I specifiy any national character in parameter form field, it is not send to Reports Server. Instead of my character, question mark (?) is send to reports server and that lead to wrong result.
Is there any way I can use national characters in Parameter Form in Reports Server?

How to pass parameter from one form to another

Hi,
I have created a form based on a procedure . Now i want to pass a filed value from this form to another form . How can i do this.
How can i pass a vlue from one form to another form in oracle portal.
Thanks

At last - I've managed to get this to work! Is this documented anywhere at all - I just guessed it based on other people's code!
OK, to prove the example here is what I did:
I have a form referencing the DEPT table.
I created a item called 'Search' and of type button.
I created a 'custom' PL/SQL block and added the following code:
declare
v_deptno NUMBER;
begin
v_deptno := p_session.get_value_as_NUMBER(
p_block_name=> 'DEFAULT',
p_attribute_name => 'A_DEPTNO');
PORTAL30.wwa_app_module.set_target('http://server/pls/portal30/app_schema_name.EXAMPLE_SQL_REPORT.show?p_arg_names=_show_header&p_arg_values=YES&p_arg_names=_max_rows&p_arg_values= 25&p_arg_names=_portal_max_rows&p_arg_values=25&p_arg_names=DEPTNO&p_arg_values='| |LTRIM(TO_CHAR(v_deptno)),'CALL');
end;
Note: you need to reference the column with an 'A_' prefixing the columm name.
I left the name 'DEFAULT' as it is.
OK so I set this to a variable and now want to call a Report called EXAMPLE_SQL_REPORT which was created with the following code:
select * from scott.emp where deptno = :deptno;
The bind variable being the custom parameter for the report.
I called the new report with the PORTAL30.wwa_app_module.set_target procedure and put in the full URL path (in this example) of the server and report.
I hope this helps!

Can't pass parameter from HTML form of multipart/form-dta type to JSP

I am using request.getParameter(passed variable name) to pass data from HTML form to JSP with no problem. WHen I try to pass data from HTML form of multipart/form-dta type to JSP as following:
< form enctype="multipart/form-data" name="theForm" method="post" ACTION="http://titan.ssd.loral.com:7778/ifs/jsp-bin/ifs-cts/stringsecond.jsp">
The passed value is null. Why?
How can I pass data successfully from this form to JSP?
How can I pass data from JavaScript to JSP?
Thank you

I am using request.getParameter(passed variable name)

WHen I try to pass data from HTML form of

The passed value is null. Why?because the jsp most likely does not handling of POST parameters like this.
How can I pass data successfully from this form to
JSP?jsp's are not meant to read such amounts of data. this (= uploading) is a typical task for a specialized servlet. there you have full control over input and output. if you need to, you can still forward to a jsp after processing in the servlet.
How can I pass data from JavaScript to JSP???? i'm not sure what exactly you mean. normally you put it into an url and submit it.

Calling report from form and after parameter form trigger

Hi, I've also posted to this to the reports forum but because it works from Reports Builder it may be a forms issue which is why I'm x-posting. Apologies.
I have a report that creates a file, desname is set in the after parameter form trigger (it uses one of the parameter values).
The problem is file is not created using the path and filename set in the trigger, the file is created in the bin folder with the name account_by_service_type.txt (account_by_service_type.rdf is the report definition).
If the desname is set in the before parameter form AND a field with the source=desname is added to the parameter form then the file will be created with the correct path and name however it won't have the relevant parameter incorporated into the file name obviously.
I've noticed in other reports that where the desname is being set in the after parameter form that I've had to pass the desname from the form but obviously I cannot do that here either.
Am I missing something obvious?
Regards
Sean
