Select Expert issue or limitation

I am trying to create a report using select expert in crystal report. However, I am finding that when I use 'is equal to', drop down besides it does not show all the data values in the list. It shows list of some data. Anyone have any idea what could be a reason. Is there any limitation in Crystal report select expert drop down?
Thanks
Syed

Crystal Rpt XI - Select Expert record limits

Newbie here - please be gentle
There appears to be @ a 500 record limit that can be used in the formula editor. Is there a way to work around this limit or is it greater in later versions?
Example;
{Mrpa99.Pat_Ext_ID} in ["0001400126", "0001401652", "0001402718", "0001402742",......... , "0001665341"]
would return 'TOO MANY RECORDS' if I had all my desired record sets (@ 700), but if I removed half it would work fine.
If there is no way to get all values in a single report is there a way to merge the results into a single report.
Thanks in advance,
Cj

First try to push down this filter to DB level if possible, this will improve your report performance.
Try creating 2 or more formulas that contain those long string separately.
and write below codes in your select expert: {Mrpa99.Pat_Ext_ID} in formula1 or in formula2 or in ...formulaN.
Thx, Hao

Using Select Expert Inserts Blank Section

I'm using Crystal Reports XI Developer Edition and it recently started to display some strange behavior. Every time I use the Select Expert to add a parameter, Crystal adds in an empty ghost section. I refer to it as a ghost section because you can see it in preview mode as an unlabeled, blank section between the report footer and the page footer, but when I go into design view it's not there. How can I make this section not appear?

Hello Mary,
I can't explain why it would do that but here are some things to try;
1) Ensure you are patched up with the latest service pack, SP4
2) Try lowering the screen resolution
3) Try lowering the hardware acceleration
4) If you are using dual monitors only use Crystal Reports on the primary
5) Have someone else try logging onto your machine and see if they receove the same behaviour
Some questions if the above does not resolve the issue;
1) Is this happening on other machines?
2) What Operating System is CR installed on
3) Could you please detail the exact workflowif the following statement is incorrect > go into the Select Expert, select a field to filter on, select a parameter from the drop down list of values.
4) What happens if you manually create the record selection formula where field = parameter?
5) Does this happen with any field type or is limited to a specific type?

Select expert and dates

Post Author: barflyz
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi, I am using Crystal 11. I connect to Oracle. My report pulls a date field which displays correctly and can be formatted. However, when I use the select expert and select "equal to", the drop down list does nor display the correct dates stored in this field. Any idea on how to solve this issue? thanks!

CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Some sample data might prove useful in understanding what exactly is happening. Barring that, have you tried clicking on 'Show Formula' in the select expert and then just typing in the date instead of choosing it from the drop down list?

Number fields in select expert

I am currently using Crystal 2008 and I am having issues with numeric values entered in the select expert.
The record selection criteria that I have entered is
{HSP_BKT.BKT_ID} in [94633, 94920]
however, crystal defaults/converts to these numbers with 8 decimal places (.000001)
{HSP_BKT.BKT_ID} in [94633.00000001, 94920.00000001]
94633 and 94920 are valid numeric values with data but because crystal is converting it to 94633.000001, I am not getting any records back.
Any help is very much appreciated.

You didn't mention the data type of the field. If it is integer, then one way to work around this might be to define an integer array, put your values in that, and use it in place of the constants. (Crystal really shouldn't be converting the constants to a decimal in this case, so you might wanna let SAP know about it...) If it is a floating point type, then you may need to use CInt() to convert the field to integer.

Select Expert using ISNULL

I am using Crystal Reports XI and I have a table that has customer names with "NULL" values. I am wanting to print all of those records in the table with the NULL value. Can someone help me with this issue.
Thanks Jim

Just to throw my $.02 in, I never turn on the report option to change null values to default. it vastly complecates any other forumla you might want to write in the report, and can cause performance issues under certian circumstances.
I use 'default values for null' in the formula workshop for the select expert, or explicitly in formulas where I need that functionality.
Also, just a picky point, but asing "isnull() = true" is redundant. if the field is null, isnull evaluates to true, and then you're asking if true = true. If it isn't null you're asking if false=true which is clearly false. In cases such as these isnull() alone will suffice.

'select expert' option is not filtering data in CR, in VS2012

,Hi,
We have a VB VS2005 crystal report application , is working good with ' select expert ' option for filtering data in side crystal report. When we are migrated the application to VS2012, the application is not filtering the data inside crystal report. I could see the 'select expert ' options and Formula editor code in VB 2012 exactly same as VB 2005. But, there is no data filtering in Crystal Report. Please help. We are using Crystal report developer version for VS2012. My formula editor code inside CR 'select expert' is {REPORT.CODE} in ["3102", "4010"]

Hi George
Please see if KBA 1204895 - Selection formula is ignored when using Crystal Reports 2008 and VS .NET 2005 helps to resolve the issue.

Discrepancy between Select Expert and SQL Query

Greetings. I am having an issue with a report, but I think it's more cosmetic and may not be causing a functional issue...
When I go into the Report...Select Expert...Record, I see that my criteria for the report is .AND. logic.
When I go into the SQL Query view, it shows .OR. logic...
After I verify the database, the SQL query still does not get updated. Saving and re-opening the report still does not update.
Is there any reason this will never match? Thanks in advance.

Sorry. I am on Crystal 12. Database is SQL 2005.
I didn't think the detail mattered much, but the select expert shows:
isnull({NONCONFORMANCE.CLOSED_DATE}) and
not isnull({NONCONFORMANCE.PRODUCT_ID}) and
not({NONCONFORMANCE.PRODUCT_ID}= '') and
not({NONCONFORMANCE.PRODUCT_ID}= ' ')
SELECT N.NCM_ID, N.NCM_DATE, N.PRODUCT_ID, N.CLOSED_DATE, N.ENTITY_ID
FROM NONCONFORMANCE N
WHERE N.CLOSED_DATE IS NULL AND N.PRODUCT_ID IS NOT NULL AND NOT (N.PRODUCT_ID='' OR N.PRODUCT_ID=' ') AND N.ENTITY_ID='CHI'
Now that I look at how the SQL is generated (after cleaning up the statement), it's the negatives that got me. I originally had a problem with the report that was pulling back blanks and spaces. I made changes and I didn't pay close enough attention to what exactly changed in the SQL... It appears to be the way the logic in the Select Expert is converted to SQL.
I just need to start using Command more often and write my own SQL instead of using the Select Expert!!!

CRViewer XI R2 Select Expert error when using dates

I am using RDC. CR XI R2 w/ SP2/3. When I open any report with dates in the output and then use Select Expert and choose a date from the browse or dropdown list I get an error.
"Error - the ) is missing"

Hello Brent,
I'm sorry the RDC viewer and the Select Expert do not meet your expectations. The RDC was deprecated with the release of Crystal Reports 10. Once the RDC was deprecated it stopped receiving development focus for issues like this. The RDC remained available for two more versions (XI / XI R2) but it has now been retired with the release of CR 2008 a few months ago.
I'm surprised to hear that the Select Expert wasn't showing this issue in CR XI (v11.0), unfortunately I won't be able confirm this.
If you want to roll back to the viewer for CR XI (v11.0) you have to roll back entirely to work with CR XI (v11.0). You should not mix versions of DLLs (e.g crviewer.dll v11.0 and craxdrt.dll v11.5). This may work, but it would not be supported for any issues you might encounter. You indicated in your post that you moved to CR XI R2 (v11.5) to get past another issue that was resolved in CR XI R2, so rolling back entirely won't be a solution.
With the retirement of the RDC the recommended upgrade path for Windows application development is to move to the Crystal Reports .NET SDK. The Crystal Reports .NET SDK is available in CR XI R2 so if you want to explore this SDK as well you can visit the online developer library for additional information. Here's the link:

CRXI R2 and VS 2005 select expert

Hello Every One,
For our Project we use CR XI 2 and VS2005. We use ODBC connection to run the reports. At the time of designing the report i have added the paramter and filler to select expert. In our windows application I asses the parameter and assign the values to report by using
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterValues
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue
If I use peview method show the report. Selection formula will be disappers and data does not fillter properly.
If any one has any better idea let me know.
Thanks in advance

Crystal 2008 problem with Record Select Expert

I had a Crystal 10 report that worked fine where the Record Select Expert had a database table ID equal to a parameter... it was only supposed to report on 1 record. After using Crystal 2008 on the same report it completely ignores this Select Record Expert setting. I have tried deleting and re-adding the parameter. It acts like there is no record select setting.
Here is the formula that it shows me it is using: {Components.ID} = {?@ID}
If I go to the application opening the same record on a different machine using the old crystal, it works fine.
This used to only show me the 1 record, now it shows me the report on every record in the table. I tried upgrading the report to a 2008 report and it still does the same thing. The report filter no longer works. Do I need to do something different to select only 1 record in 2008 ?
After installing Crystal 2008 on my computer none of my reports work correctly anymore - all of them are ignoring my Record Select ...they worked fine before I installed 2008. The reports are older reports... they worked fine when I had Crystal XI R2 installed. This all started after installing Crystal 2008
Thanks,
Jeff
Edited by: Jeff Dressing on Aug 27, 2008 12:06 PM

Hello, Jeff;
I noticed the Record Selection Formula uses a Stored Procedure parameter:
{Components.ID} = {?@ID}
A parameter created in the report (not by a stored procedure) would be:
{Components.ID} = {?ID}
A report based on a Stored Procedure does not need a Selection formula for the Stored Procedure parameter. Connecting to the Stored Procedure automatically creates the parameter in the report and the value is passed automatically when the report is run.
Does the report work in the Crystal Reports 2008 designer?
Open the report in the designer. Go to Database Set Datasource location. Are the properties of the database at runtime still the same as what is saved in the report.
If the database is different at runtime, just as a test, change to the new database in a copy of your original report. Do a Database|Verify Database. Does it come back the "Database is uptodate" or are there changes?

Crystal Report - Title from Select Expert.

Hi Experts !
I need some help here. Recently I have build a new crystal on the production analysis. Part of the select expert for record is between posting date A and posting date B.
Below is the code I uesd for the select expert whereby Posting Date 1 is a parameter with range that I have defined.
{ODLN.DocDate} = {?Posting Date1}
I am interested to have this 2 date from the parameter to appear on my report. For example :
Date: A date till B date.
I have tried picking up this data from the parameter, but failed to get what I want. Anyone have syntax for this ??
Best Regards,
Alex

Hi Gordon,
Yeah, I know the syntax to do this. The real problem lies as I have stated on my first post - I want the date that I have entered on the parameter during the filtering process, to appear on the report itself. I have tried it before, but all that appears is only True value, not date.
So If, I am about to use two parameter date instead of parameter range with selection expert, will I be able to pull the two parameter date into the report, so that I can print it out with the date on the report itself. It's important for the report to have date because not everyone knows the report is from when to when.
Best Regards,
Alex

Sender JDBC Adapter Select/Update Issue

Dear All,
We have configured a Sender JDBC Adapter to Poll data from the DB2 tables. It is working fine and both the select and the update queries written are also getting properly executed and are changing the status of the flag from Y to N once read from database.
In the communication channel ->
select * from <table> where flag = 'N'.
update <table> set flag = 'Y' where flag = 'N'.
But I have one doubt after executing the select query some new data comes into the table of status flag 'N"., then will this unselected data will also be updated to 'Y' .
The question is while we do a select and update from XI on the DB table and at the same time there is an insert happening into the table from the other end how will the adpater behave in this case.Will it result in missing of some records during next select/update transaction from XI..
Your inputs will be appreciated.

Amit

Crystal Reports XI: Using Wilcards with the Select Expert

I have a field with 10 numbers. There are several of them that start with three numbers and end in all zeros. I want to make sure these are not in my report. I have been successfully able to do this using the select expert, but it requires a lot of manual entry:
{@Phone Number} <> "4090000000" and
{@Phone Number} <> "2810000000" and
{@Phone Number} <> "8320000000" and
{@Phone Number} <> "5120000000" and
{@Phone Number} <> "9999999999" and
{@Phone Number} <> "9760000000" and
{@Phone Number} <> "9360000000" and
{@Phone Number} <> "6010000000" and
{@Phone Number} <> "8150000000" and
{@Phone Number} <> "7130000000"
I need to find a way to do this without having to enter each code by itself. I tried using a wilcard, but it appears that I am not using it correctly.
{@Phone Number} <> "***0000000"
Please help. Thanks!

Nevermind Just needed a simple:
not ({@Phone Number} like "*0000000")

Using the new AppleTV, I cannot seem to find the same TV shows on the iTune Store as the older AppleTV. The selection is far more limited. For example, Modern Family is not available ... Any reason why?

I recently upgraded from an older AppleTV to the new AppleTV. The TV Shows I can access through the new AppleTV are far fewer than before. For example, I cannot find Modern Family on the iTune Store, whereas I used to be able to find it on my older AppleTV. Any reason why the selection is more limited?

I just found out the answer to my own post by browsing through other discussions. Looks like the new AppleTV only provides access to rental TV shows. Can't purchase anything ... So, the selection is far more limited. It's a drag, but at least the mystery is solved...
