Passing Parameters To Subreports & Crosstab Reports

I have a report which contains several subreports. In the main report I have record selection formula which selects records based on the date value. I would like to use this same formula in the subreports but I only want to prompt the user for the dates once. All records both in the main and subreports will be selcted for the same time period. I do not want to use on demand subrerports.
Rather then using Subreports there maybe a better way to go about this record selection, but I am not sure. My records are in the following format
Record 1 Field Name #1 , value #2, date 1
Record 2 Field Name #2, value #2, date 2
Record 3 Field Name #3, value #3, date 3
I want to create a cross tab report but there are over 30 field names which I want to put in the column headings. I tried using group options "spceified order" which limts the field in the first cross tab. Is there a way to create additional cross tabs to pick up the additional fields and where should these additional cross tabs be put ie "report header" etc.
Phasor

Since you have the same paraemters in both main report and sub report try to link the main report parameters with sub report paraemters so that it will prompt only once and pass all the values from main report to sub report.

Passing parameters to a BW Report iView dynamically

Hi All,
I want to pass parameters to a BW Report iView at runtime. The requirement is as such:
I have got some screen selection in a webDynpro iView and I need to pass all those selected values to a BW Report iView based on the user selection. eg. start date and end date selection.
This is on priority please help me as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance,
Murtuza

Hi Rajat,
I will try to describe my requirement once again. The iview A is the webDynpro iview and iview B is the BW Report iview. Now I want to make some selections in dropdown ,calendars and input fields in ivew A and then make a call to the iview B with all those parameters so that iview B can fire a query based upon the parameters.
ie. if I selected say startdate as today's date then this should be passed as a parameter to the BW Report iview and i need to set the application parameter for the BW Report ivew. Hope the reuirement is clear now. Please help me.
Thanks,
Murtuza

Fail to pass parameters to subreports via VB6 application

Hi everybody,
I'm a newbie here and I need to view a report (CR10) via a VB6 application where you enter the report's parameters. The report has subreports where its parameters are linked to the main report's ones.
The application works properly on the development computer but doesn't work on the client computer (Crystal Reports 10 is not installed on it). In fact, the "Enter Parameter Value" message box appears and wants me to enter the parameters manually.
For reports without subreports, it works nicely.
How can I do to fix this problem ?
I really need your help.
Thank you
Delphine

Hello, Delphine;
If the parameters are linked to the main report they should pass correctly.
Linked parameters will fail if the database logon fails and the data they are linked to does not exist.
Open the report in the Crystal Report designer. Go to Database|Set Datasource location.
What is displayed for the properties of the main report database?
For the subreport database?
How do you pass the connection properties in code at runtime?

Passing parameters to multiple sub reports

Dear Experts,
I have a crystal report (version 11) that has 4 subreports. I need to pass the same list of parameters to each sub report from the main design. I can not find a global perameter. Is this possible. an example is the date range. I need the user to be able to run the report and put the date range in once and have it passed to all of the sub-reports. thank you for your time.

Hi,
Yes, this is very much possible. Here's what you need to do:
If the parameter is a string, number or date created in the Main Report then you can right-click the 1st subreport and select 'Change Subreport Links' > In the Fields to link to area move the Main Report parameter from the Available Fields area on the left.
If the Subreport also has parameters then you can select the right-one that needs to be linked from the drop-down. This is directly link the Main report parameter to the Subreport parameter and you would prompted only once.
Hope this helps!

How to pass parameters to concurrent program report from Forms Personalizn

Hi All,
I am trying to run a report from a menu entry in the AP Invoice entry form. For this I have done the necessary steps of creating the menu entry and am assigning the values for the 2 parameters to a global variable and then launching SRS form.
In SRS form created an action to assign the global variable value to work_order.parameters. I can invoke the SRS OK except that my 2 parameter values appear concatenated in the first parameter itself and are not getting assigned to each of them seperately.
my global variable assignment is as follows :
=${item.inv_sum_folder.vendor_name.value}||'.'||${item.inv_sum_folder.vendor_site_code.value}
and my work_order.parameters value assignment is as follows :
=select nvl(${global.kmg_invalid_po_gv.value}, ${item.work_order.parameters.value}) from dual
It passes parameters OK if i replace custom report with standard AP report. I also made my parameters to be free text (17 character value set) to not validate input, but still no joy.
Any ideas why this is not working ?
Thanks in advance.

As Francois said in his answer:
e.g.:Form A call FORM B
In form A (Button's or menu's Trigger code)
DECLARE
param_list_id ParamList;
BEGIN
param_list_id := GET_PARAMETER_LIST('EMPNO');
IF NOT ID_NULL(param_list_id) THEN
DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST(param_list_id);
END IF;
param_list_id := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('empno');
ADD_PARAMETER(param_list_id, 'EMPNO', TEXT_PARAMETER, EMPNO);
CALL_FORM ( 'FORM B.FMX',HIDE,DO_replace,NO_QUERY_ONLY,param_list_id);and in FORM B create a parameter EMPNO (e.g.: varchar2) in node tree(parameter) and at Form level (e.g. WHEN NEW FORM INSTANCE read parameter-

Passing parameters from FORM to REPORT

Hello All,
How to pass parameters from a FORM to a REPORT in Oracle Application Server Portal.

Vamsi, Are u capturing the imputs for these parameters in the form??
If u are capturing them in the form, then u need to add them to a parameter list (TEXT_PARAMETER) and while calling the report u can send it as a parameter in the RUN_PRODUCT call.
Pls check the syntax for adding parameters and calling report from form in the form builder help.

Passing Parameters from Forms to Reports

I created a report and a form. Create a param list. I'm trying to pass the parameters to the report when I'm doing run_product. The report comes up with the parameter screen.
My problem is, as I am passing all the values what I need from the form, my report query should automatically query against these parameters and bring me the result.
For example form is passing dept 49. My report should not display a parameter form asking me to type the dept number. It should take dept 49 in it's where clause for the query and return the result set.
Can any one give me some suggestions ASAP. Very urgent.
Thanks in advance.

ugandhar,
please start looking at Run_Report_Object as using Run_Product to run Reports is desupported in Forms9i

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;

Passing parameters dynamically to crystal report from oracle

Hi,
I have a Crystal Report that is based on an Oracle Stored Procedure. This was created using Crystal Reports XI R2 and it is published on a Infoview environment.
There are 2 parameteres in an Oracle Stored Procedure, of which one parameter is Region which contains values like AP,GJ,HP,MP,TN. The report run daily at scheduled time in infoview and the output of the report for each region is passed and stored in that particular region folder for easy access to enduser. The other parameter is a refcursor.
Now my issue is i want to add new region value like KA. As i am new to crystal reports i am unable to understand how to do this also if possible can any one send me liknk which explains the procedure how to run a report that is based on an Oracle Stored Procedure.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Typically when you create the report this way the Store Procedure will query the table for values and present those in a drop down list in the report Prompts when viewing. Or if it's not interactive then simply typing in 'KA" into the parameter UI should/could return data.
So it all depends on how you have this configured and how it was set up in the CMC when the report was scheduled. The BOE Administrator may have manually added the filter for each state or it's part of the report itself and other than updating the table field values is all that is required.
So it's not clear what role you play in the Admin group of BOE but it appears to be fairly simple to do. If you are not the Administrator find out who is and that person can explain it to you also.
I'll move this post to the Business Objects Enterprise Forum for someone there to give you specific details.
Thank you
Don

Report does not run
now what i have found while rnd that
when i pass a lot of userdefined argument
it gives error.
and if passed one,two,three userdefined argument than it works.
in this example only
when i passed
inv='10016'
dt='06-09-2003'
inv_no='010016'
comp_code='01'
vc_name='PRODIMPEX'
with these reports run fines but
when i increase name data with one caharacter also it gives error
say
vc_name='PRODIMPEXR'
report does not run.
vc_name in report has character type with length 100
but a lot of argument is to be passed more.
I have also checked variable length. its fine
i think there would be some setting in some report system file having the length of parameters
which can be passed.
please help me if u know this.
thanks in advance

Hi,
this sounds familiar. Didn't you post exactly the same question a couple of weeks ago ? Don't remember what I replied to you, possibly to use varchar2 instead of character and give it a try. If this doesn't work, I remember that there is a way to use serverside command files for common parameters that needs to be passed. At least I can not find any bug filed against this. If the behavior doesn't change to teh better I therefore suggest to talk to customer support and file a bug.

Passing parameters to a Crystal Reports JavaBean connection

Hi,
I'm trying to pass a parameter to a CR XI JavaBean connection. So far I can read and show a String parameter in the report, but I'm unable to pass it to the getResultSet(String aParameter) method that provides the ResultSet.
The Crystal Reports editor shows a dialog box asking for the "Parameter 1". I've tried with the parameter name and with an arbitrary value, but it just doesn't work.
Any comment from anyone who has been able to figure this out would be really welcome. The Crystal Reports documentation isn't very useful.
Best regards,
- Juan

I'm about to throw Crystal Reports thru the window. There is no documentation, their knowledge base is a wasteland, the samples included are just the simplest ones, it seems there is nobody from their company colaborating in their forums This company is incredible.
As far as I can tell, you need to set the parameters for the ResultSet method as if it was a stored procedure, but I found no useful documentation about this for Java / JSP pages.
So far, my JavaBean method is:
     public ResultSet getResultSet(String minAge, maxAge) throws SQLException {
        // I don't use the parameters yet. I just want to execute this ResultSet
         try {
              return getConnection()
                   .createStatement()
                   .executeQuery("SELECT * FROM notes");
         } catch (Exception e) {
             e.printStackTrace();
             _log.error(e);
             return null;
     }An the parameters code is:
    public Fields getParameters() {
        if (_parametros == null) {
             ParameterFieldDiscreteValue val1 = new ParameterFieldDiscreteValue();
             val1.setValue("100");
             ParameterFieldDiscreteValue val2 = new ParameterFieldDiscreteValue();
             val2.setValue("200");
               Values vals1 = new Values();
               vals1.add(val1);
               Values vals2 = new Values();
               vals2.add(val2);
               ParameterField field1 = new ParameterField();
               field1.setName("minAge");
               field1.setReportName("");
               field1.setCurrentValues(vals1);
               ParameterField field2 = new ParameterField();
               field2.setName("maxAge");
               field2.setReportName("");
               field2.setCurrentValues(vals2);
               Fields fields = new Fields();
               fields.add(field1);
               fields.add(field2);
               _parameters = fields;
        return _parameters;
    }Any comment of any kind about this would be really welcome.

Passing parameters from Forms6i to Reports.

Hi,
I have table STATUS with fields STATUS_NO, DESCR
I am using the following code in when button press trigger for passing parameter from Form 6i to Reports at runtime.
DECLARE
     repid REPORT_OBJECT;
     v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
     repid := find_report_object('rep1');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=no status_no='||:ST);
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
END;
When I press the button and enter value 1 in ST Text item it display a blank page (no data) of report.
I am using the following Query .
select status_no,descr from status
where status_no=:st
please send me the solution of this problem on urgently basis.
Best Regards,
Shahzad

My first guess is that the parameters are not matching:
you are setting the parameter status_no when calling the report but the report will be expecting a parameter called st.

Passing parameters from Forms to Reports - Unhandled exception error

Hi there,
I am passing parammeters to my Reports through Forms. I am using the built-in RUN_REPORT_OBJECT to invoke and run my report.
DECLARE
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('MY_REPORT');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_OTHER,
'p1='| |to_char(:block.p1_field)| |
' p2='| |to_char(:block.p2_field)| |
' p3='| |to_char(:block.p3_field)| |
' paramfrom=no');
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
EXIT_FORM;
END;
In one of my reports, after the report was invoked on the previewer window and I closed it, an unhandled exception error message appears.
Are there any restrictions on the length of REPORT_OTHER parameters/value, as in this form, there are quite a number of parameters set to passed into the reports?
I did not encounter this problem when running the report using the default REPORTS PARAMETER FORM to pass in the parameter. It is only when I pass in through FORMS using SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY, then the error appears.
I did not encounter this error with other reports which have little parameters.
Regards,
Hon Koat

Pang,
Not sure it this will make the problem go away, but you could try to send the parameters in a parameter list, instead of setting the REPORT_OTHER values.
The syntax is the same you use to pass parameter list from one form to another:
declare
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
v_list paramlist;
c_listname constant varchar2(30) := 'my_list';
begin
repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('MY_REPORT');
v_list := get_parameter_list(c_listname);
if not id_null(v_list) then
destroy_parameter_list(v_list);
end if;
v_list := create_parameter_list(c_listname);
add_parameter(v_list, 'P1', text_parameter, to_char(:block.p1_field));
add_parameter(v_list, 'P2', text_parameter, to_char(:block.p2_field));
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid, v_list);
end;Hope this solves your problem,
Pedro

Thank u for the reply.
Is it possible to pass the variable instead of values.
My report receives 2 parameters named p1 & p2. Actually I want to pass that parameters to the form from the report.
I have tried as You said.

Where horseid id my parameter which is needed by report to generate the required data.
This query paramter value is picked from the text box on my jsp page.
But my problem is when i go to this url it says the message
"The 'HorseID' parameter is missing a value ".
I have done a lot of search on this topic. Everybody says that we can pass the values from the url like i am using. But still its not working.
Any body has any idea please give me some idea.

If you receive a picture via email or text message in ios 7 and when you press the action icon to save the picture and you do not get the option to save to your camera roll. Press and hold on the the image and you will get an overlay pop up to save the image. I have no idea why some attachments don't have option in action menu to save in the camera roll but by experimentation and earned frustration I found the above to work in certain situations.
Be well and have fun and feel rewarded in your frustrations. For without challenges, life would be an utter bore.
