Question re Command Object to populate parameter drop-down

I have a report that uses a SQL Server stored procedure as the data source. The first parameter they enter is their company number (we have numerous clients using Lawson and access Crystal through LBI). The next parameter is the account number. I have a SQL statement written that gets distinct account numbers by company. When I create a Command object with the SQL statement, it doesn't allow me to use the company parameter.
SELECT DISTINCT GLC.ACCOUNT, GLC.ACCOUNT_DESC
FROM dbo.GLMASTER AS GLM
INNER JOIN DBO.GLCHARTDTL AS GLC
ON GLM.CHART_NAME = GLC.CHART_NAME
AND GLM.ACCOUNT = GLC.ACCOUNT
WHERE GLM.COMPANY = {?Company}
ORDER BY GLC.ACCOUNT
When I do Add Command in Database Expert and add the SQL above and name the parameter and try to Add, it says "Failed to retrieve data from the datase.
Details: ADO Error Code: 0x
Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Description: No value given for one or more required parameters
Does anyone have a similar situation and a solution to this problem--either regarding my approach and error or a different approach to get the same thing?
Any input would be greatly appreciated!

You can't do this through a command object.  This particular type of parameter is called a "Cascading Dynamic Prompt".  You have to set these up through a Crystal Business View.

  • How do I populate a drop-down list from a schema variable

    I'm a novice programmer and new to the LiveCycle environment. I need help to populate a drop-down list in LiveCycle from a hard coded variable within my form's schema. I have a list of 28 names (the number of names and actual names change annually). That list is used over 30 times within a form for different selections. Since the list rarely changes, I would prefer to hard code it and make changes to the schema when they occur.
    If I can't find a solution, I will be updating over 30 separate drop-down list objects each time there is a change to the list.
    Thanks in advance for any help
    Chris

    Can you post your schema to [email protected] and I will have a look. You will also need to indicate which node in the schema is supposed to populate the dropdown.

  • Create a fragment with web service to populate the drop down list

    Hello,
    Can any one please advise/suggest on how to create a fragment in LiveCycle Designer ES with web service to populate the drop down list so I can re-use it for another form. I already have a drop down list to populate the data from the web serivice but need some advise on how to create a fragment for this drop down list so I can start to embed it in other forms as well.
    Thanks in advance,

    Did you follow the instructions and have a specific question?  Have you also looked at the documentation http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/lcdesigner_qs_fragments.pdf

  • SSRS Parameter Drop downs are greyed out after changes to SSAS cube

    Hi
    I am facing a weird problem. I have 3 SSRS reports that are based on an SSAS cube. Few days back I deployed some changes to cube and everything works ok on dev environment. When I deployed the same changes to production, SSRS reports don't work. I don’t
    get any error or anything when I click open the report but all the parameter boxes are greyed out. If I restore SSAS database from dev to production then SSRS reports work fine and I can select parameter drop downs. What could possibly wrong here. I have no
    idea to what to troubleshoot here.
    Thanks
    Nik

    Hi Nik,
    Are you using render the report from a report snapshot? In contrast with reports that run on demand, it is not possible to specify a different parameter value for a report snapshot when the report is open. So the parameter textbox is grayed out. If the users
    want to view the report with different parameter, we can select “Always run this report with the most recent data” option in “Processing Options properties” page.
    Besides, if the issue is not in this scenario, we can try to edit the report with Report Builder to check whether the report is ok. Such as delete the parameters, then recreate them to check again.
    If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.
    Thanks,

  • Populate updatable drop down list based on files in the folder path

    Hi, 
    I am a beginner in labview. I am stuggling on where to start.
    Here's what I need to do. 
    I want to create an updatable drop down list. It can be automatic upon opening the program or manually update by clicking an update button. The drop down list will list all the filenames that are in .cvs format. These files are stored in a folder path.  Insider the folder, they are stored in different subfolders, the drop box should be able to find those files inside the subfolders. Once the user select a filename from the list, the program will read the data inside that file and import into an array so I can display the data. 
    I have an idea on how to display the data, but I don't how to populate the drop down list based on the files in the folder, make it updatable and then import that user selected file's data into the the array. 
    Can anyone help me with this? 
    Thanks, Ruth

    Yup, ListFolder with a pattern of *.csv.  Then use a property node on a combo box or ring to set the items in the drop down.  Here is some free training if you are interested in learning more general LabVIEW tools.

  • Crystal Report 2008 with ClearQuest 7.1, parameter drop down list

    Hi all,
    I am creating the reports using CR 2008 and uploading their design into CQ 7.1.
    The issue I have has to do with the  dynamic cascading parameters of the report.
    When designing everything is working fine. I am able to choose my first param, the project and based on the chosen project, the second param shows related reviews.
    The problem is when i upload the design into CQ, the parameter drop down list is not there and instead there is a free form text field.
    How do I resolve this issue, any ideas?
    Thanks
    -PAP

    Hello,
    I believe that version of CQ uses the CR RDC ( craxdrt.dll ) to run reports. That engine is legacy and it never supported cascading Parameters.
    Talk to CQ on upgrading to the latest .NET report engines. I believe they are working on an updated version.
    Only option is to not use cascading parameters until you upgrade.
    Thank you

  • Populate a drop down list with data from Excel and fill in a text field, based on drop down selectio

    Hi!
    I have a problem with a PDF form: There's a drop down list that I populate with Excel data that I've put in an XML file through an XSD file -- no problem here. The drop down list has a data binding to the XML file, so that a choice in the drop down list can be associated with an object in the XML file. So, when I make a choice in the drop down list, a corresponding object value is fetched from the XML file and put in a text field on the form.
    How to do this is described by Stefan Cameron here:
    http://forms.stefcameron.com/2006/07/29/dynamic-properties/
    There's a snag, though, and to describe it more clearly:
    The XML file contains three types of objects: role, role number, and role cost center. Of these I use the first and the third, i.e. the role and the role cost center. The drop down list contains the roles, and when I select a role, the corresponding cost center is filled out in the text field. So far, so good!
    But -- if the cost center has the same value for two or more roles, all of these roles "bounce back" into the drop down list, that is, they are all selected in the drop down list. How many of these you can see depend on the height of the drop down list -- if it's low you'll only see the first one.
    If I modify Stefan Cameron's data in his example I get the same behavior, so the problem seems to have to do with how XML data are fetched.
    I'm sure there's a workaround, but I can't find it! I've spent many hours browsing the web without finding anyone with a similar problem.
    Any suggestions appreciated!

    Although your issue is far beyond mine, I was hoping you can help me out.....
    I need to create a drop down list of names which I wish to somehow link to an Excel spreadsheet.
    Please let me know the steps I need to do.  I've tried several things, but nothing seems to work and I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
    Thank you

  • Importing objects from excel into drop down menu

    Hi!
    I have tried to copy objects from excel while constructing a drop menu in forms central. Sadly, my 500+ objects appear as one choice instead of uniqe items. 
    Is it possible to import values from an excel column to be shown as single items in a drop down menu?
    /Martin

    Hej
    I have the opportunity to choose Acrobat Forms as an alternative form for this survey.
    Do you know if there is possible to get the 500+ into a list in a more elegant way than manual input?
    Hope you have an "elegant" solution for me even if the Forum is not all correct for this question.

  • Parameter drop-down list

    Post Author: tss98
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    Does anyone know how to create a drop-list for a parameter such that it will only show those records which meet a certain criteria? For example, I am developing a report which prints out a single record (for a permit), but the drop-down list shows all the possible permit numbers and I only want to show those that are related to some certain criteria (like a certain permit type or a certain location or a certain company).

    If it is a dynamic parameter then there is no way to get rid of the "..." since Crystal does not know what the values are to populate the parameter list until it is too late.

  • How to populate page drop-down list in Struts from action?

    I have following mockup JSP:

               <html:option value="allj">aaa,1,str1</html:option>
             </html:select>
                        </font>
                      </td>
    ...Struts action will prepare results as String[] array e.g.:
    aaa,1,str1
    aaa,2,str2
    aaa1,1,str3
    aaa1,b,str4
    and I have to show this in the page as a drop-down list of values that are represented in this String[] array returned from Struts action.
    Should action return result array in original ActionForm submitted to the action by this page or should it just put the array into request or session? I need an example if possible
    Many thanks,

    Hi,
    In ur Action Class create aa ArrayList of LabelValueBean Object (use import org.apache.struts.util.LabelValueBean; )
    Eg:
    ArrayList myList  = new ArrayList();
    for( int i=0; i<10 ; i++ )
       myList.add( new LabelValueBean(  "Label of  "+ i , " value of " +i  ) );
    }put myList either in request or session
    eg

    in JSP use JSTL Tags for JSP
    eg
    <html-el:select property="listToDisplay"  style="width=200" size="1">
    <html-el:option value="-1">--Select One--</html-el:option>
    <html-el:options collection="DisplayList" property="value" labelProperty="label" />
    </html-el:select>Here "DisplayList" will be ref'ed from session scope or request scope.
    Hope this can solve ur Doubt.

  • How to Populate a drop down list using the values of a text field?

    Hi,
    I wanted to Populate the items of my drop down list according to the value entered in the textfield above it?
    also the value of list remains consistent in other rows also where i am using the drop down list field.
    Please Try to help me in this query.
    Thanks in Advance!!!
    I am using Javascript in adobe version ES 8.2.

    Part II:
    If you have other items for your droplist(s) that are to appear in addition to the "variable language" entered by a user you can add that to the script.  For example in addition to the Party1 and Party2 name appearing in my droplist I also want the list to have an option for a user to select: The parties jointly.  I add this to the script:
    this.addItem(Party1.rawValue);
    this.addItem(Party2.rawValue);
    this.addItem ("The parties jointly");
    If you have trouble making it work, post a bit of your actual form requirements.

  • Populate second drop down box based on selection from first drop down box

    Hello, I have a situation involving a drop down box with 9 items to choose from. What I want to do is depending on which of the 9 items the client chooses, this will determine what items are populated in the second drop down boxes (the items in the second drop down box will be mirrored on 9 other drop down boxes).
    For example, my first list box would be titled Review Type and there would be MF, VA, FA, etc. If the MF was selected, then the 10 boxes below (all drop-downs) will be prepopulated with a specifc selection of topics and if they chose VA then another set of topics would be prepopulated.
    Can you please point me out on the proper script to accomplish this? I don't have a xml/data source to connect to so I will be manually inputting the choices.  Thanks!
    Header 1
    Header 2

    I came across a sample of a script that seems to do what I want it to however I can't seem to get it to work all the way through.  It only compiles the items from the 1st case and not the 2nd or 3rd case.  If I click on the 1st case, it will not clear if I click on the 2nd or 3rd case. The items from the 1st case stays static and shows up for other cases.  However if I open the form and click on the 2nd or 3rd case first, it's blank and nothing shows up. Can you please help me out with any fixes to this problem?  Please help!!

  • Parameter drop down issue in XI Rel. 2 report viewed with XI Rel. 1

    I've modified a report (originally created in Rel. 1) with Rel. 2.  I've modified the one parameter.  Everything works fine when viewing the report in Rel. 2.  When I send the report to someone with Rel. 1, they get the parameter screen with a blank text box and the name of the value element defined for the parameter in the upper right hand portion of the parameter screen.
    If they click okay, that parameter screen is replaced with the correct one - that displays a dropdown and doesn't have the parameter value element displayed.
    The same is happening with other reports I'm working on.  Short of upgrading everyone to Rel. 2 (which is likely not a viable option), any suggestions?

    Hi
    Please provide the exact version and patch level of Rel. 1 that the users are working on.
    Version : You can find this infrmaion at HELP>>About Crystal Reports

    - What happens if they create new reports at their end which include parameters in them.Does the same thing occur for these reports also?
