Passing values from function to unbound field on report

i've created a function to calculate certain values. i would like those values to be assigned to fields i've put on the report (these fields have no source) at runtime. how is this done. i've tried the ':' used for binding variables (parameters)...but in this case, it's not a 'parameter' in that sense.

How about using placeholders? Take a look at the online help for placeholders as it sounds like it should fit your needs. You can have a formula column that calls the function and sets the values of the placeholders. However, please note that if the function sets the placeholders directly, the placeholders will have a indirect dependency on the formula column and this could cause problems at run time. You will need to use srw.reference to establish a direct dependency in that case. srw.reference is also in the online help. If you run into problems, Support should be able to assist you with this.
Hope that helps, Toby

Passing values from main report to sub-reports

- How do we pass values from main report to sub-report?

Look at this link which shows how to pass values from a subreport to a main report.
http://www.datamanagementgroup.com/resources/trainerstalk/trainerstalk_howto_share_subreport_data_with_main_report.asp
You can use the same method to pass values from main report to a subreport.
1) Create a formula @mainFormula in the main report, as given in item 1 of link.
2) Place this formulla in a suppressed report footer section above the target subreport.
3) In the subreport, create a formula @subFormula that declares the same variable name, as given in item 3 of link.
4) Place @subFormula column in the subreport where you want to display it.

OnSubmit function Error in passing values from WDA Adobe Form to Ztable

Friends,
I am trying to pass values from Adobe Interactive Form to ztable.
I am using WDA to display the form. I have created the form context with attributes that are bound to the form fields using the Adobe Livecycle Designer.
Once the user presses the Submit button, the data is passed to the ztable. In the onSubmit function assigned to the Submit button, I am using the "Read Context" feature of WD Code Wizard to read the values of the attributes
I am able to read and populate the ztable with values of the first 3 attributes. But am unable to read the value of 4th attribute using the "Read Context" feature of WD Code Wizard. All 4 attributes are of string type.
I am not sure if this is a buffer size problem or is there a limitation that only 3 attributes can be read per Adobe form / onSubmit function.
Please let me know what is missing.
Thanks and Regards.

Passing Value from Crystal Report (special function) to Business View parameter

Friends,
Í have a scenario where i need to pass value from Crystal Report to a Business view's parameter.
Eg : CurrentCEUsername (func in crystal report)-- gives login user which i should pass to parameter in a Business view (used in the same report).
Will be able to explain more if required.
Thanks in Advance,
Bharath

I guess you got the picture wrong. User_id is not a report_level parameter .
In Data Foundation, below query is used..
select Acc_Number, Account_Group,User_id from Accounts where user_id={?User_id}
where in {?User_id} is the BV parameter...
The Filter was a solution. But it takes long time to Query all the data from DB and then filter at BV level.
How do i pass the CurrentCEUsername to {?User_id}
Value should ve CurrentCEusername always. so that query will be
select Acc_Number, Account_Group,User_id from Accounts where user_id=CurrentCEusername
It will restrict the data pulled from DB to BV .. right?

Re: Help needed in passing values from workflow to Approve Forms

Dear Experts,
how do I pass values from a workflow to a step (Form) - approve form?
I am using a customized table structure as my data source (FORMCONTAINERELEMENT) but am stuck on how to access the data when i get to to the screen painter's flow logic... What am i missing? Can you give me a step by step example. the ones i see on the net are input fields that update the screen... nothing that shows value being passed from the outside.
I need to pass an exisitng value in the workflow into the form for approval of the the assigned agent.
Please help!!
Thank you.

Hello !
         Create a method just before the form step.This method should populate the values for the fields maintained in the form.
         Pass the values populated from this method to your customized table structure (data source).In other words, you have to pass all the values to the workflow container.
        To the step, pass this workflow container by binding.In the control tab of form step, you have to do the binding.

How to pass value from report to form?

Dear,
I built a report and I create button on report too. This
button will show a form that I want it to automatically show
receivable values from report so that user don't complete them.
So I create a button on the report . I enter Javascript in
PL/SQL Code tab in '...after displaying the footer' as follow :
htp.formOpen
(owa_util.get_owa_service_path||'portal30.wwa_app_module.link?
p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=1736929105&p_arg_names=_show_h
eader&p_arg_values=YES&p_arg_names=GNO&p_arg_values=1&p_arg_names
=QNO&p_arg_values=2');
htp.formSubmit(null,'New Answer');
htp.formClose;
GNO , QNO is value which I want to pass
As you can see, the above code can pass only static value.
But I want to pass values that is the condition of this report.
I mean,such as, this report show data that gno=1 and qno=2 and I
want to pass these values to form. So both value will appear in
gno and qno field.
So please tell me what should I do. Please help me. I don't
know how to do it. I look forward to hearing from all of you.
Please!!!!!! Don't hesitate to answer.
Thank you very much

Hi Marc,
Yes, you have it correct in what I am trying to do and if I put a default value in the hidden item on page 2 and run it then that works fine. I just can't get the value from the form passed to page 2 for some reason. There are actually 22 items on the form that can be filtered but just using COREID for simplicity. When I run the form I am just entering a value in the COREID field to try and return those records. Most of the other items on the form are displayed as Popup LOV(fetches first row). Would the values of all these be done the same in a comma delimited list for the items and values? I was trying to get at least one of them working first. Here is the search result that comes up in the debug window:
Search Results
0.01: Item: P2_COREID HIDDEN
0.01: show report
0.02: determine column headings
0.02: parse query as: MOTEAMSAPEX
0.02: binding: ":P2_COREID"="P2_COREID" value=""
0.02: print column headings
0.02: rows loop: 15 row(s)
No data found.
Here is the SQL statement:
select coreid, serialnumber
from MOTEAMS.V_ASSETS where
instr(UPPER("COREID"), UPPER(:P2_COREID)) > 0
The branch settings are:
Set these items: P2_COREID
With these values: &P1_COREID (also tried this with period at the end)
I am new to this and not familiar with apex.oracle.com. How would I go about posting to that site?
Thanks,
Pam

Passing value from JavaScript window to form

Java Thread - difficulty while passing value from parent to child thread

Hi All,
I am calling a java program from a unix script .
My oblectives are
1)to pass value from scripts to main java class
2)main class should create a child thread and pass data to child and should return control back to script
3)child thread should run independtly of parent
The calling unix script is part of process and hence should return control back to its calling script immediately.
Findings
1)Without passing data thru setter getter /constructor method to child thread my objectives are met
2)When I pass the data from parent thread to child thread calling unix scripts wait till child thread finishesh its working
call.scr
java Main <list of Arguments>
Main.java
public class Main
             public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
             String data2="Z";
             String data1=null;
             for(int i=0;i<args.length;i++)
                  data2=data2+","+args;
data1=data2;
Child cu=new Child();
cu.setData(data1);
data2=null;
data1=null;
cu.start();
Child.javaclass Child extends Thread
public String data;
void setData(String data)
this.data=data;
public void run()
----------> processing on data
I think due to passing of data from parent thread to child thread (Inter thread data communication/Inter process communication)
the threads are not working as desired.
Plz anybody can suggest something.....
Thanx.

aschin,
You seem to be confusing Java Threads with Operating System Processes.
If you want you're java program to run in the unix background then you'll need to run it in the unix background. Java (being o/s agnostistic) doesn't provide process manipulation functionality (which would include the ability to throw itself into the background, as a C program can) in the standard API, and it's hard to imagine any third party producing anything as low level as a process controler... so yeah, just start the java program in the background... and you'll need to workout some interprocess communication protocol... named pipes have worked well for me in the past, as they doesn't suffer from the quit same performance issues as real disk files.
Good luck. Keith.

Passing values from a FORM to another FORM

Hi,
I have to pass values from FORM "A" to FORM "B". What is the best way to do this?\
Can I use a GLOBAL variable?
Thanks,
Marc.

I think he meant the global namespace.
You set a :global_your_name_here to a value and that value is available in your entire application. See the help file section on the global namespace for more information.
Forms parameters are parameters that you form picks up from the outside when it starts. The calling entity must supply them in the URL or they will be set to null. You set them up in the object navigator in the Parameters node.

Script fails when passing values from pl/sql to unix variable

Script fails when passing values from pl/sql to unix variable
Dear All,
I am Automating STATSPACK reporting by modifying the sprepins.sql script.
Using DBMS_JOB I take the snap of the database and at the end of the day the cron job creates the statspack report and emails it to me.
I am storing the snapshot ids in the database and when running the report picking up the recent ids(begin snap and end snap).
From the sprepins.sql script
variable bid number;
variable eid number;
begin
select begin_snap into :bid from db_snap;
select end_snap into :eid from db_snap;
end;
This fails with the following error:

Please Help.

Pass value from Java to Perl

Anyone knows how to pass value from Java to Perl program?

Did you write the perl program? Can you change it? Or are you trying to interface to something that already exists? This will limit your options, of course.
Anyway the first option is simple. The java program does this:
System.out.println("This is a line of input.");The perl program does this:
while(<>)and in that block, $_ is assigned to each line of input.
Then you can invoke both like this:
$ java MyJavaProgram | perl MyPerlProgram.pl
