Select the maximum value

Dear Friends
I want to select the maximum value according to the following script
select H_TRANS_DATE,NVL(D_CURRENT_METER,0) INTO L_DATE,LOC_VAR
from (select d_current_meter,H_TRANS_DATE
FROM MAINTENANCE_HEADER
WHERE H_CAR_NO=:REC_MASTER.H_CAR_NO
AND MAINTENAMCE_STATUS = 2
order by H_TRANS_DATE desc)
where rownum = 1;
it works fine in sqlplus and it gives the correct result, but when I copy the same code to my Oracle Forms Builder it gives the following Error 103 at line 23 column 16 encountered symbol ORDER when
expecting one of the following) * &
When I remove the order by the error message goes but I am not getting the correct result ,how can I correct this script
Best Regards
Jamil

Yes I have copied/pasted the correct code ?
and the field name in the database same as the following
AND MAINTENAMCE_STATUS = 2
any other idea , and my form version is
Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.11.3 (Production)
Oracle Toolkit Version 6.0.5.35.0 (Production)
PL/SQL Version 8.0.6.0.0 (Production)

How to find out the maximum value in a Query within single material

Dear all,
Im creating a Query on 0SD_C03 where i have to disply Maximum value of a material which is having more that one transaction..
EX:
MATERIAL BILLED VALUE
x with BILLED VALUE 100
x with BILLED VALUE120
y with BILLED VALUE 50
y with BILLED VALUE 80
z with BILLED VALUE 50
z with BILLED VALUE 60
in a analyser i have to display X with billed value 120 that is max in X material and
Y with billed value 80 that is max in Y material and
Z with billed value 60 that is max in Z material
In a query all the values are summing up. I.e for X its 220 and Y its 130 and Z its110 but we dont want to get total sum value we want individual values and the maximim of those values..........
We are using BW 7.0 version
Can any one help me out in this
Thxs in Advance

Venu,
In your query try creating a formula, with the value of each record as the key figure in the formula.
In the aggregation tab select maximum in the exception aggregation dropdown and then select material as the reference characteristic
then when you include material in the rows it will only display the maximum value.

How to check the maximum Value and Last value in Reports CP column

Hi all
First of all i am sory that iam posting this question in forms instead of Reports....i had posted it in reports but no one reply and i need uirgent solution so I post here....

You mast build Summary column out of the query and select maximum to your maximum value of CP in Report level (or last for last value).

How to define in the optional the clause, the maximum value of a colum

Hi!
I'm using select data block from database toolset.
I want to use optional clause wiring to import only the maximum value of the column 2.
E.g. to import only the values greater than 1 you have to wire a string like this col2>1. But i don't know which string i have to wire to iport the maximum value of this column.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Larson
To select row n you either need a certain value (e.g. an index or something you know is unique in row n) or you select all values and extract one row in LV.
So the first statement would be "SELECT * (* means all columns, you could also specify the columns as well) FROM data WHERE [a value = another value]. This would give you just the rows where the where-clause is correct. The other way is to select all data and just extract row n from the array you get from the recordset.
There might be other ways, but these are two solutions I just had in mind.
Manuals - just google the internet for SQL (Structured Query Language) and you will find lots of websites providing this information.
Hope this helps.

How can we select the highest value from 3 disfferent #defined values???

Hello,
Sometimes I come across the requirement of having the program automatically select the highest value
among several defined preprocessor command statements. For example:
#include "stdio.h"
#include <math.h>
#define _K_BUF_OTHERS 20
#define _k_BUF_ENV_TAGS 30
#define _k_BUF_REGS 40
#define _k_MAX(x, y, z) (max((max(x, y)), z))
int main(){
unsigned int u;
u = _k_MAX(_k_BUF_OTHERS,_k_BUF_ENV_TAGS, _k_BUF_REGS);
return 0;
In the sample above we have three (3) different define statements called :
_k_BUF_OTHERS
_k_BUF_ENV_TAGS
_k_BUF_REGS
but at any given time in certain C modules (In this case above, the main.c module) I require for the program to know
which of the three is the highest and get that highest value so I can use it downstream of my code. In this case the highest would be 40. So therefore putting the following macro anywhere in my code should make a text substitution of the macro's value
and return 40 to u:
u = _k_MAX(_k_BUF_OTHERS, _k_BUF_ENV_TAGS, _k_BUF_REGS);
But I can't even compile the program!

So implement or #define one. C standard library doesn't provide a function named "max".

How to find out the maximum value of one array

hi all..
I have one array that consists of some elements
so I want the maximum value of the list ...
if anyone knows this please help me..
thanks..

>
If your array is already sorted, you can do a binary
search.
I think there are already methods to do that in
java.util.Arrays. (?)
If not, it's not hard to find an example on the net.
A binary search will be more efficient.1. If your array is already sorted, you do not need a binary search. Either check the value of arr[0] or arr[arr.length - 1] depending on the direction of sorting.
2. If your array is not sorted, try this:
int maxValue = arr[0];
for(int index = 1; index < arr.length; index++)
if(arr[index] > maxValue)
maxValue = arr[index];
}

How to find out the maximum value

Dear all,
i have one query where in i have to calculate Excise Duty based on the maximum sales qantity of all materials with the corresponding sales value... i mean i wil get the maximum value of a individual material no matter how many sales has done.i wil pick up the maximum sales qty and the correspondig sales value....
This im able to solve by taking the condition as TOP 1..
Now my question is if the same material qty is sold with differnt value then i have to pick up the Max value and as usual the sales qty..... plz help me out
Material              Sales Qty              sales value
       3000                10 kl                   1000INR

in this case my query is picking up the max qty of 20 and the value 1000 INR as i had taken TOP 1 on Sales qty ....
<b>
But In the below example for the same material i have to pick up the 3 rd row where the sales value is maximum and the corresponding sales qty 10 kl</b>
EX   Material        Sales Qty              sales value
       3000                10 kl                   1000INR

Hi,
U can use the restrict option fo the Material characteristics for sales value just drag and drop on columns >right click Properties> U have the option Calculated Result as Summation, Maximum, Minimum etc..just choose Maximum for ur case.

Exchange Rate is picking the Maximum value, instead of valid from

Every first day of month we enter exchange rates for foreign currencies.
but when we make Purchase Order or any other payments in foreign currency, system is picking the maximum value, but not the value from Validity date.

Hello,
Thanks for your immediate response.
But my Question is for e.g.
on 01.01.2010 entered Exchange rate is 1 euro = 5.6954 SAR
on 01.02.2010 entered Exchange rate is 1 euro = 4.9653 SAR
if am posting document on 16.02.2010 it should pick the second value i.e., 1 euro = 4.9653 SAR, but system is picking the maximum value.

How to select the larger value of column?

I would like a cell value (here E8) to be for example: (max $E$1:E7) + B8. Where all previous E column values were find the same calculation except for E1 that is a simple number and not a calculation? It does not work. It give the result for E1 + B8. The larger value should be E7. So the correct result should be E7 + B8 but if there is no value in E7 I want it to choose the larger number of the E column so far. Does some one can help me?

Hi Frederic,
If I understand "Where all previous E column values were find the same calculation except for E1", you want each cell, starting at E2 to contain this formula.
E2: =MAX($E$1:E1)+B2 E8: =MAX($E$1:E7)+B8
If that's the case, then "there is no value in E7" would never occur, and, unless the value of Bn were negative, the maximum value in column E would always be the one immediately above the formula.
In that case, this simpler formula would produce the same result:
E2: =E1 + B2 E8: =E7 + B8

How to fetch the maximum values of 2 columns

Hi All,
I need to fetch the maximum value of 2 columns. For example I need to fetch the latest record for which i have to fetch the latest date and time. Date and time fields are 2 different columns. As of now am doing it the crude fetching the latest date records and then fetching the latest time record.
Is there any other smarter way to do it. The one am doing rite now is turning out to be very performance intensive at the moment for me. Also I could not apply max condition for two fields together.
Please guide.
Thanks,
Nagraj

Hi Jaspreet,
Thanks for your response. But the problem am facing with this approach is I have to do this for n number of records in another internal table which is making it to cumbersome and affecting performance.
Please suggest is there any better way to do it.

Without table definitions, input data, and expected output, it's hard to test. But I would expect that analytic functions would be what you're after (assuming that omitting the "l.cod_producto in" clause from your main query in the subquery where you are getting the MAX values doesn't change any results). Something like
SELECT <<all your columns>>,
       l.fec_ini_vigencia_costo,
       l.mto_precio_venta,
       max(l.fec_ini_vigencia_costo) over (partition by l.cod_producto) max_vigencia_costo,
       max(l.mto_precio_venta) over (partition by l.cod_producto) max_precio_venta
FROM <<the rest of your query>>will include the MAX values and the current row values without needing to hit the table a second time. Then you should be able to do
SELECT <<list of columns>>
FROM (<<whole query from the last step>>)
WHERE fec_ini_vigencia_costo = max_vigencia_costo
   AND mto_precio_venta = max_precio_ventaJustin

To create a Crystal Report which will prompt for a value and if nothing is entered select the alternative value from the database record.

Hi Experts,
I am working on a report in Crystal (2008) which will prompt user to input a value, but if nothing is entered then it will select relevant database value.
I created a string parameter prompt called "{?Pack_Qty_Overide}" and used the following formula.
IF {?Pack_Qty_Overide} = ""
THEN {OITM.SalPackUn}
ELSE {?Pack_Qty_Overide}
However, when I check the formula in editor, it says that there should be a number at the end of "Else" clause.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi Janos,
OITM.SalPackUn is Numeric(19.6). When I used parameter input type as number, my formula returned error that "A number is required here" at the "if .... " statement.
So I used the formula you provided and it worked, such that when I input a quantity in parameter prompt it would display that, but if no override value given, the field remains blank - i.e. it does not display the value stored in OITM.SalPackUn.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
YP

How to find the maximum value among four fields in a single record

Hi Gems...
I have a record in which there are 4 currency fields.
Now i would like to know the maximum of these 4 fields.
I tried with Max functions in which i put all the 4 values...but it is showing error like ") is missing" though it is there.
Can we insert more than 2 values in Max function?
Or else is there any other option to find the max value among the 4 values which lies in a single record
Thanks
Jiten

Hi Anil,
Say suppose i have a single record in which 4 premiums of a particular bond exists.
for eg:
Prem1 Prem2 Prem3 Prem4
129000.00 388000.00 228000.00 14800.00
Now this is a single record for a particular bond ... now i need to calculate the max value among these 4 premiums.
How would we proceed to achieve this?
Regards
Jiten
