PLACEHOLDER COLUMN BY USING THE PARAMETER

hi,
i have to keep a place holder column in the report tiitle.what i should do?
for eg:i have category column USED AS A PARAMETER WHEN I RUN THE REPORT
if the CATEGORY=G
i need to print the report title like GENERAL PARTY REPORT
CATEGORY=C THEN CREDIT PARTY REPORT
URKENT PLZ REPLY.

As you said you have one parameter called category (which will be having user passed value). Create one more parameter called P_CATEGORY_DESC set the datatype as VARCHAR2 and length accordingly. Than in reports' trigger AFTER-PARAMETER-FORM use the code as below...
IF :P_CATEGORY='VALUE' THEN
:P_CATEGORY_DESC:='Heading to be displayed on report layout.';
ELSIF :P_CATEGORY='VALUE' THEN
ELSE
END IF;
RETURN TRUE;Than use on layout create one text field and use the source of that field as parameter P_CATEGORY_DESC.

Getting error when using the "/parameter" switch in command line run

Has anyone experienced this problem before?
My report queries over 100,000 records from a view. When the report is run from the command line every thing works fine.
But when I add a condition using a "parameter", although the report still runs fine from the destop, when launched from the command line it errs.
"Oracle Discoverer Desktop has encountered a problem and needs to close. ..."
"The instruction at "0x0044397c" referenced memory at "0x0000004e". The memory cound not be "read"...."
I'm guessing its a memory issue with my PC. I've tested using a parameter with other reports using fewer records and it doesn't err from the command line.
I can work around the issue by not using a parameter but then I have 20 versions of the same report each with a different condition.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Michael,
I'm using an DELL Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.00 GHz with 1 GB of RAM. We use Microsoft Windows XP Prof version 2002.
As for Discoverer we are using 10G, Desktop Client 10.1.2.48.18 - 1047500 KB available memory , 2099744 KB Free disk space.
I'm not sure I have acess to a computer with more RAM but I'm looking into it.
What I'm frustrated by is the fact that the parameter works fine when run directly from the desktop but when passed from the command line it bombs... but only when dealing with mega records.

yuck.
I would suggest you use some JSTL.
Mixing html and scriptlet code like this is a recipe for disaster:
And whats with all this if j==1, j==2 crap?
Seeing as you only have three items being returned, it would be much simpler just to have one loop, and access vector elements 0,1,2 directly rather than having a double loop.
At LEAST pull some of the stuff into temporary variables.
<c:forEach var="episode" items="${outvec}" varStatus="status">
<c:choose>
    // first line is headings?
     <c:when test="${status.first}">
        <td align="center">${episode[0]}</td>
        <td align="center">${episode[1]}</td>
        <td align="center">${episode[2]}</td>
     </c:when>
        // all other lines print the data
     <c:otherwise>
<tr>
    <td align="center">
       <a href="episode.jsp?episode_id=${episode[0]}&character_id=${param.image_id}">Show scene</a>
    </td>
    <td align="center">${episode[1]}</td>
    <td align="center"> <a href='C:\eastenders\${episode[2]}'> play episode </a></td>
</tr>
</c:otherwise>
</c:forEach>You see how much clearer it is without the nested looping and complicated if syntax?
Do yourself a favour - take a step back get JSTL and rewrite it from scratch.
You will be thanking yourself later.

Significance of using the parameter "AccA" in AFGJOB rules

Hi!
In the afgjob.jdt, I see rules defined this way
;LoadSegmentedRecord;Acca;;
;BuildFormList;Acca;;
;LoadGlobalFonts;Acca;;

Rules are fine, but what is the significance of "ACCA" here.

How to use the parameter "data" in the vi of Nonlinear Curve Fit

I used "Nonlinear Curve Fit" to do state estimation. If I make the number of unknows a constant number, it is fine to code the fitting model for f(x,a). But if I want to code the number of unknows as a variable, how can I do this?
Maybe "data" should be used here. But I just could not find any examples talking about how to use "data" here.
Thanks.

Hey hilary,
Have you looked at the LabVIEW help for the Nonlinear Curve Fit VI? Which version of LabVIEW are you using? In mine, the VI is polymorphic, and you can declare the formula to be a formula string. Then it provides pins to enter the input parameters programmatically. Perhaps you could post a screenshot of how you are currently using the VI, and we could help more.

Syntax error while using the parameter inside the badi method.

Hello all ,
I'm writing a code in the badi implementation . The badi is /SAPSLL/CTRL_MM0C_R3 . this badi contains a metthod API_CONTROL_MODIFY.This badi triggers while using MIGO transaction .
It is having the following parameter .
IT_MSEG     Importing     Type     SLLR3_MSEG_T .
SLLR3_MSEG_T is declared as follows.
TYPES: sllr3_mkpf_t LIKE mkpf OCCURS 0,
            sllr3_mseg_t LIKE mseg OCCURS 0.
here i have to get the werks value that is populated into IT_MSEG whie doing MIGO .
I have declared a local variable and assigned werks value from the IT_MSEG to the local variable as follows
DATA:l_werks type werks.
l_werks = IT_MSEG-WERKS.
But I'm getting the following error.
"IT_MSEG" is a table without a header line and therefore has no
component called "WERKS".
How should i avoid this error. Please give me sample code on how to avoid this error.
thanks in advance
pavan

Hi,
Move the row from IT_MSEG into a work area and use it. Declare the workarea of required type.
DATA:l_werks type werks.
read table it_mseg into wa_mseg index 1.
l_werks = wa_MSEG-WERKS.

How to select column used in parameter in sql

Hi,
I have one View in which I am calling Function,
Below is the part of that Function. I am passing @Column_Name as parameter. I have total 3 Columns which I am using in my view form this function.
Now I have one issue in this SQL Query, instead of taking values from 'Alle' (or 'MeAlle', 'CurrentMe')column, my select statement is taking 'Alle' as value. I tried with Dynamic SQL but didn't work out for me.
Please help me on this below Query. Thanks in advance.
DECLARE @Column_Name varchar(max)
SET @Column_Name = 'Alle' -- Alle, MeAlle, CurrentMe
DECLARE @TempAlleMes TABLE
( PId int NOT NULL,
Id nvarchar(max) NULL,
Name nvarchar(max) NULL
INSERT INTO @TempAlleMes(PId,Id,Name)
SELECT p.PId,
NullIf(SubString(',' + @Column_Name + ',' , t.ID , CharIndex(',' , ',' + @Column_Name + ',' , t.ID) - t.ID) , '') , ''
FROM dbo.[Tally] t,[P_PsVs].dbo.[PInfo] p
WHERE t.ID <= Len(',' + @Column_Name + ',')
AND SubString(',' + @Column_Name + ',' , t.ID - 1, 1) = ','
AND CharIndex(',' , ',' + @Column_Name + ',' , t.ID) - t.ID > 0
and p.Pid = 302074
select * from @TempAlleMes

This is a terrible table design.
Anyway, assuming you need to work with such design, you need to create fnSplit function in your database first. You can get any kind of implementation for such function, say, there is a blog by Jeff Moden that still has lots of discussion (I subscribed to
that discussion and get emails - too bad they only say there is a new reply instead of giving the reply):
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Tally+Table/72993/
So, once you have that splitting function in your database you can normalize your table using the following:
select T.*, F.Value, F.Id from myTable T CROSS APPLY dbo.fnSplit(T.Alle, ',') F
If you need to split several columns, then it will be a bit more complex as you would need to split each individual column separately using the above code and cte and then use the FULL JOIN based on main table PK and function's ID column to join the results.

How to order / group a report by a placeholder column ?

How to order / group a report by a placeholder column populated by the group filter ?
In more detail .....
My Data model editor's select statement brings back (say 1000 rows) from the database.
The group filter decides (on performing certain validations) whether to print a row or not in the report.
Additionally the group filter calculates a "rule type" (just a rule number to say on basis of what rule, the row was selected)
I would like to order/group the report on the placeholder column which was calculated by the group filter ?
Obviously, I won't be able to add the "ORDER BY :CP_RULE_NUMBER" in the sql statement as the placeholer column cp_rule_number
is determined by the group filter level only. (If I do, I get a frequency error)
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: user553361 on 8/10/2008 17:35

how is the group filter implemented?
If its pure PL/SQL, what about putting the filter-procedure in a stored function into the database? Then you could use the group filter in your query.

Help with Formula/Placeholder columns for group totals

I have select that is broken into 2 groups (a COMPANY group and a DETAIL group within company). I need to determine the COMPANY group totals based on values in a column in the DETAIL group. I.E. the column is a transaction description and can have up to 15 different values and it did not appear that a summary column would work for what I need. I have currently set up 15 formula columns in the DETAIL group and check the value of the REASON to accumulate totals and return the total to a PLACEHOLDER column (which is numeric and defined in the COMPANY group).
I then report the Placeholder columns at break of COMPANY. This all works fine if I run only one company. If I run with multiple companies the Placeholder columns are used as a running total.
My question is how do I reset the PLACEHOLDER columns at company break if at all, or is there a simpler way to accomplish what I need.
Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Tom Vereecke

If you are using one placeholder column in different formula columns just ignore the following solution. It will not work in that case. I will post it here if i find out any way to initialize placeholder columns at different groups or anyother way to solve this issue.
I think if you remove placeholder columns and create summary columns at Company Level, that will work. And formula columns will be changed as follows:
Formula Column:
active_total number(10) := 0;
begin
if :status_1 = 'ACTIVE' then
active_total := active_total + 1;
end if;
if :status_2 = 'ACTIVE' then
active_total := active_total + 1;
end if;
if :status_3 = 'ACTIVE' then
active_total := active_total + 1;
end if;
return active_total;
end;
And in summary columns source will be formula columns. And reset the summary columns at Company.
Hope this helps.

How to use a parameter field value as a substring in a "like" statement?

Hi all,
I'm trying to use a parameter field in a Record selection formula where the parameter field value would be a substring of the data stored in the field.
My parameter field (SlctResearcher) is constructed as follows:
Type: string
List of Values: static
Value Field: (Reports) RptAuthors
(in Value Options) Allow custom values?: True
{Reports.PubDate} in DateTime (2009, 04, 01, 00, 00, 00) to DateTime (2010, 03, 31, 23, 59, 59) and
{Reports.RptAuthors} like "*{?SlctResearcher}*"
When I hit F5 to generate the data, I get no results (and the parameter prompt field does not even come up...)
If I modify the formula to put a hard-coded string, like
"*Jones*"
after the 'like', I get results (all the reports where "Jones" is a substring in the RptAuthors string.) If I modify the formula to just use the parameter field without the quotes/stars like:
{Reports.PubDate} in DateTime (2009, 04, 01, 00, 00, 00) to DateTime (2010, 03, 31, 23, 59, 59) and
{Reports.RptAuthors} like {?SlctResearcher}
I do get the parameter prompt field, but still no results even if I put in a valid substring value (since it is not searching for a substring anymore...)
How can I do this?
Thanks,
Will

1st thing... Make a copy of your report before doing anything!!!
To use a SQL Command, you'll want to open the Database Expert and look at the Current Connections. Expand the data source and the 1st option you see is the Add Command option.
To find the SQL That CR is currently using, choose Database from the menu bar and select Show SQL Query...
You can copy this and paste it directly into the command window. (If you you can write your own SQL you don't need copy CR's, it's just an option.)
You'll also want to take not of any parameters that you have, you'll need to add them the the Parameter List of the command as well... be sure to spell them EXACTLY as they are in the design pane.
Anyway, once the SQL statement is in the Command window you'll be able to alter the WHERE clause to use the wild cards.
For future reference... What type of database are you reporting against???

Hide or show a column based on a parameter?

I have a parameter that has two values linked to 2 fields and included in my SQL query. I would like to hide or show columns based on the parameter value chosen for other fields. How do I begin to write the expression?

Hi KittyCat101,
Based on my understanding, you want to display columns dynamically based on a parameter, right?
In your scenario, you can specify column visibility for all columns based on the expression which contains selected parameter values. So that if we select a value from the drop-down list of the parameter, the column will display based on the column visibility
expression. For more information, please refer to this article:
Conditionally Setting Column Visibility in SSRS.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Madhu,
I am totally amazed. I didn't think any of the MULTISET operations would work with NTs of records. Lucky you!
As for the EXCEPT, well, clearly it is a restriction or bug in PL/SQL.
You may want to report it to Oracle Support.
