Rewrite query

Question

hi
i have a standard oracle report query which i ve taken from the data model
is it possible to rewrite this query without the bind variable , also the data given as output should be same when rewritten
wht does &C_vendor_dynamic_SQL stand for
SELECT /*+ ORDERED_PREDICATES */  DISTINCT (v.vendor_id)           C_vendor_id,
                   v.vendor_name                               C_vendor_name,
     DECODE(:SORT_BY_ALTERNATE, 'Y', UPPER(v.vendor_name_alt),
                   UPPER(v.vendor_name))      C_sort_vendor_name,
     v.segment1          C_vendor_num
FROM    ap_invoices i, po_vendors v
WHERE  0 < (SELECT SUM(nvl(prepay_amount_remaining,amount))
                 FROM  ap_invoice_distributions aid
                 WHERE aid.invoice_id = i.invoice_id
                 AND   aid.line_type_lookup_code IN ('ITEM','TAX')
                 AND   nvl(aid.reversal_flag,'N') <> 'Y')
AND v.vendor_id = i.vendor_id  
AND i.invoice_type_lookup_code =  'PREPAYMENT'
AND       i.cancelled_date IS NULL
&C_vendor_dynamic_SQL
ORDER BY DECODE(:SORT_BY_ALTERNATE, 'Y', UPPER(v.vendor_name_alt), UPPER(v.vendor_name))thanking in advance

Answer 1

hi
thank u for the speedy response
there is after report and before report trigger and i dont see C_vendor_dynamic_SQL in both of them from the data model i see its a placeholder type column with no pl/sql formula specified
this is the code for before report trigger
function BeforeReport return boolean is
begin
/* This is the before report trigger for Oracle Payables Release 10 reports  */
DECLARE
  init_failure    EXCEPTION; 
BEGIN
  /* Start tracking report run time */
  :C_REPORT_START_DATE := sysdate;
  /* Init AOL - only necessary if AOL user exits are called           */
  /* If this is deleted, also delete SRWEXIT in After Report Trigger! */
  SRW.USER_EXIT('FND SRWINIT');
  IF (:p_debug_switch in ('y','Y')) THEN
     SRW.MESSAGE('1','After SRWINIT');
  END IF;
   /* get the set of books id and charge account id for this org */
  SELECT   ap.set_of_books_id, gl.chart_of_accounts_id
    INTO   :P_set_of_books_id, :P_chart_of_accounts_id
    FROM   ap_system_parameters ap, gl_sets_of_books gl
    WHERE  ap.set_of_books_id = gl.set_of_books_id;
  IF (:p_debug_switch in ('y','Y')) THEN
     SRW.MESSAGE('2','After initialize parameter p_set_of_books_id and p_charge_of_accounts_id');
  END IF;
  /* Get the organization name and SYSDATE from GL_SETS_OF_BOOKS */
  IF (get_company_name != TRUE) THEN  -- Call report level PL/SQL function
     RAISE init_failure;
  END IF;
  IF (:p_debug_switch in ('y','Y')) THEN
     SRW.MESSAGE('3','After Get_Company_Name');
  END IF;
  /* Get NLS strings for "All","Yes","No", and "No data exists..."  */
  IF (GET_NLS_STRINGS != TRUE) THEN -- Call report level PL/SQL function
     RAISE init_failure;
  END IF;
  IF (:p_debug_switch in ('y','Y')) THEN
     SRW.MESSAGE('4','After Get_NLS_Strings');
  END IF;
  /* Get code, precision, min.accountable unit,and descr. for base currency */
  IF (get_base_curr_data != TRUE) THEN   -- Call report level PL/SQL function
     RAISE init_failure;
  END IF;
  IF (:p_debug_switch in ('y','Y')) THEN
     SRW.MESSAGE('5','After Get_Base_Curr_Data');
  END IF;
  /* If you need to print cover page values, add the code to the existing */
  /* get_cover_page_values function and uncomment the call below.         */
  /* IF (get_cover_page_values != TRUE) THEN  */
  /*    RAISE init_failure;                   */
  /* END IF;                                  */
  /* IF (:p_debug_switch in ('y','Y')) THEN   */
  /*    SRW.MESSAGE('6','After Get_Cover_Page_Values'); */
  /* END IF;                                  */
  /* If this is a flex report, uncomment the following lines */
  /* IF (get_flexdata != TRUE) THEN             */
  /*    RAISE init_failure;                     */
  /* END IF;                                    */
  /* IF (:p_debug_switch in ('y','Y')) THEN     */
  /*    SRW.MESSAGE ('7', 'After Get_Flexdata');*/
  /* END IF;                                    */
  /* Add any custom code to the existing custom_init PL/SQL function and */
  /* uncomment the call to it below */
  IF(custom_init != TRUE) THEN             
    RAISE init_failure;                    
  END IF;                                   
  IF (:p_debug_switch in ('y','Y')) THEN   
    SRW.MESSAGE('7','After Custom_Init');  
  END IF;                                  
  /* If the debug switch is turned on, do an SRW.BREAK to show current */
  /* parameter and column assignments.                                 */
  IF (:p_debug_switch in ('y','Y')) THEN
     SRW.BREAK;
  END IF;
  /* If there have been no exceptions so far, RETURN(TRUE) */
  RETURN (TRUE);
/* Exception Handler Section.  If there is an exception, abort program */
EXCEPTION
  WHEN   OTHERS  THEN
    RAISE SRW.PROGRAM_ABORT;
END;
  return (TRUE);
end;this is for after report trigger
function AfterReport return boolean is
begin
BEGIN
   SRW.USER_EXIT('FND SRWEXIT');
   IF (:P_DEBUG_SWITCH = 'Y') THEN
      SRW.MESSAGE('20','After SRWEXIT');
   END IF;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
   RAISE SRW.PROGRAM_ABORT;
END;  return (TRUE);
end;kindly help
