Set width of Parameter field

I have run a report on web with input parameter populated by LOV. It works fine but when some of the LOV data is very long, say, 300 characters long, then the parameter field displayed is adnormally wide on web browser and looks very ugly.
Can anyone tell me how to set the display width of the parameter field? (the report is developed by Oracle 9i and is saved in .rdf format)

Hi Chinnaiya & Sharath,
DATA lv_50 TYPE i VALUE 50.
data : lv_mhits type ref to data.
create data lv_mhits type I .
append initial line to lt_params assigning <fs_params>.
<fs_params>-m_id = 'P_MXHITS'.
<fs_params>-m_WITHIN_BLOCK = 'B1'.
<fs_params>-m_value = lv_mhits.
<fs_params>-m_description = lv_text207.
*add to the selection screen.
wd_this->m_handler->ADD_PARAMETER_FIELDS( EXPORTING IT_FIELDS = lt_params )
get reference of lv_50 into lv_mhits. "this has value '50'.
*set default value
wd_this->m_handler->SET_VALUE_OF_PARAMETER_FIELD( EXPORTING
I_ID = 'P_MXHITS'
I_VALUE = lv_mhits ).
That is the code I wrote. Do you see any issues with it?
Thanks,
krishna.

Set default value Parameter field Formula

Hi ,
I have parameter and I have a formula for it to make it optional select as below :
if {?Location} = 'z' then
{Command.tc_name} = {Command.tc_name}
else {Command.tc_name} = {?Location}
AND
if {?Location STatus} = 'z' then
{Command.tc_status} = {Command.tc_status}
else {Command.tc_status} = {?Location STatus}
so when nothing is choosen when u refres the report, all records are brought from the db.
But when I choose status as 'active ' and dont choose anything in the location , it still brings all the 500 recrds from the db.
Should it not bring just the 'and' of active and locations? or am I missing something here.
Any help is very mch appreciated.
thanks

Sorry I got it working, When I put each formula in a separate brackets it works perfectly fine!
( if {?Location} = 'z' then
     {Command.tc_name} = {Command.tc_name}
      else {Command.tc_name} = {?Location} )
AND
(   if {?Location STatus} = 'z' then
    {Command.tc_status} = {Command.tc_status}
    else {Command.tc_status} = {?Location STatus} )

How do I set a NULL value for the parameter field

Hi
I've another question. I'm going to set single values for parameter fields.
// e.g. set today for StartDate parameter field
fc.setCurrentValue("", "StartDate", new Date());
It should be possible to set a NULL value for date parameter fields.
fc.setCurrentValue("", "StartDate", (Date)null);
But this do not work. How do I set a NULL value correctly?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Thomas

First question - is it a stored procedure parameter?
You can't set a regular parameter field value to a null value.
There was an issue with old version of the JRC, where it was allowing null to go through, but had unexpected behavior at times.

Ted Ueda

Getting Error with date parameter field -"Invalid DATE"

Hi
I created a report with 9.2 version. And i created 2 date parameter fields in it. And within crystal reports it works fine.
But If, I call from the VS2005 crystalreport.net(report document) SDK , i am getting error as Invalid Date" enter a Date Value". Actually it is a dtp control. how can i modify it.

There's not enough details to get a good understanding of your scenario, but it sounds like you're using some kind of date control to retrieve the date value and pass it to the report's parameter field at runtime. If this is correct, it sounds like the format of the date value from the control may not be what the report is expecting. To debug, I would first use hardcoded values when you set the report parameter fields to see what works. Then compare that to what the return value is from the control to see if they match. I suspect the formats differ. I did a quick search on the BOBJ kbase and found a couple of articles that may help you. I recommend searching as there are lots of information on how to set parameter fields at runtime. <a href="http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=c2010247&sliceId=&dialogID=8582434&stateId=1 0 8584068" target="_blank">c2010247</a><a href="http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=c2010251&sliceId=&dialogID=8582434&stateId=1 0 8584068" target="_blank">c2010251</a>-MJ

Set default value for parameter fields

Good day!
Situation:
1. I have 2 parameter fields in reports (dateFrom and dateTo)
2. Before running report in ASP.NET I change value this fields (dateTo = today, dateFrom = today - 3 days)
3.I use for this source:
foreach (ParameterField crParam in CrystalReportSource1.ReportDocument.ParameterFields)
                        CrystalDecisions.Web.Parameter crParametr = new CrystalDecisions.Web.Parameter();
                        string ParametrName = crParam.Name;
                        crParametr.Name = ParametrName;
                          crParametr.DefaultValue = ActionReportParameter.GetParametrValue(ReportName, ParametrName);
                         CrystalReportSource1.Report.Parameters.Add(crParametr);
4. And repurt run without request value parameter fields.
5. BUT!!! now I need request value parameter fields before report start running - I want set default values for filelds and offer user change its before report start run.
How do this?
Thanks

I believe you need to create your own parameter promt screen. Capture what the user entered and pass that to the report(?).

Parameter field still editable after setting flag 'PropFlags_NotEditable'?

Hi,
Parameter field still editable after setting flag ‘PropFlags_NotEditable’?
I have defined a step type with a string parameter. (MyParameter). This parameter field has to contain custom generated data, stuffed from a code module.
I want to have ‘MyParameter’ read only for all instances of the step in my sequence.
I have set the property flag ‘PropFlags_NotEditable’ for ‘MyParameter’ in my step type definition, because I want to have this parameter read only in all instances.
When I try to edit ‘MyParameter’ field in an instance of the step in the sequence in the variable pane ‘Step’ - ‘MyParameter’, it still works?
What is wrong here, I suppose this should work?
Best regards

1) Make sure you have show hidden properties turned on in the station options, preferences tab.
2) In your step type expand the variables to the place where the expression is stored for the parameter argument. In the .NET adapter this would be something like the following:TS.SData.Call.Params[0].ArgVal. Right-click on ArgVal and select the Properties menu item.
3) Click on the advanced button and select flags.
4) When the edit flags dialog pops up, click on the Type Flags button.
5) Check the PropFlags_NotEditable flag for the Instance Default Flags section. Click OK on this dialog.
6) If you want the change to effect currently open instances I think checking the "Reset Flags... " checkbox on the edit flags dialog will do this, otherwise this change will only effect new instances of your step type. Press ok on the remaining dialogs.
7) New instances will now not allow editing that value. NOTE: This only works for the sequence editor module panel though. It does not work for the dialog version used by the user-interfaces.
One thing I want to make sure you are aware of for step types is that using a default code module like this has drawbacks versus using postsubsteps. Setting the default code module doesn't keep the user from changing the specification after they insert the step, also updating existing steps if you want to change the prototype is more problematic. You might be better off with a design more like the step types that ship with teststand like the message popup step type (which also ship with source code so you can see how they are implemented) which instead use post-substeps and edit-substeps and instead designate the none adapter for the step type so that the step type can never have a code module. What they do instead is their edit substeps display a dialog that gets the settings/parameters to the operation that the step type performs and stores those as subproperties of the step. Then at runtime the post-substep gets this information and executes the necessary code. Unlike the default code module setting, changing the substeps in a step type automatically effects all existing instances of the step. Changing the code module only effects new instances, and loaded instances if you check the checkbox for that.
Hope this helps,
-Doug

Parameter field default values not being set in BO Infoview

For a report, I have three numeric input parameter fields with a default value of -1. When the report is processed in the Crystal Reports development environment, the parameter fields are all displayed with the default values.
When copied and then processed in BO Infoview, the three parameters come up with a value of "Empty". In order for the report to process correctly, these "Empty" fields need to be individually called, a numeric value entered and then the report "Scheduled". Does anyone know of any way to force or get Infoview to use the pre-defined default values of these fields when running with Infoview?
Thanks

In the CMC, you have to config the report object's parameter.
It's under the Process tab of Object.

Set and get parameter id

Hi,
I need to store one variable value and I need to retrieve the same variable value in same program. For this I have written set and get parameter ids in the same program. It is working fine but if I log off the system and if I logon the system it is not working I mean before log off the variable is showing some value if I log on again that variable is showing empty. But I want to capture the field values after log off and log on also. Is there any other option can I use table?
Please help me I will give points.
Thanks.

Hi
SAP memory is a memory area to which all main sessions within a SAPgui have access. You can use SAP memory either to pass data from one program to another within a session, or to pass data from one session to another. Application programs that use SAP memory must do so using SPA/GPA parameters (also known as SET/GET parameters). These parameters can be set either for a particular user or for a particular program using the SET PARAMETER statement. Other ABAP programs can then retrieve the set parameters using the GET PARAMETER statement. The most frequent use of SPA/GPA parameters is to fill input fields on screens
SAP global memory retains field value through out session.
set parameter id 'MAT' field v_matnr.
get parameter id 'MAT' field v_matnr.
They are stored in table TPARA.
ABAP memory is a memory area that all ABAP programs within the same internal session can access using the EXPORT and IMPORT statements. Data within this area remains intact during a whole sequence of program calls. To pass data
to a program which you are calling, the data needs to be placed in ABAP memory before the call is made. The internal session of the called program then replaces that of the calling program. The program called can then read from the ABAP memory. If control is then returned to the program which made the initial call, the same process operates in reverse.
ABAP memory is temporary and values are retained in same LUW.
export itab to memory id 'TEST'.
import itab from memory Id 'TEST'.
Here itab should be declared of same type and length.

Parameter Field Value returns "no records"

I am using Crystal 11 and am new to Crystal but not to other Reportwriters. I have a Crystal report that has 2 parameter fields, one is "Enter Date" that prompts for the start and end date, the other "Select Items" prompts for the supply Item Numbers to be included in the report. In the "Edit Parameter: Select Items:" edit/create parameter dialog, the Select Item parameter has "Allow Multiple values" and "Allow discrete values" set to true. The report runs fine and returns any items entered in the "Select Items" prompt that has usage during the start & end date. My problem is ... if the entered Item Number for the Select Items parameter returns no records, I cannot report that Item Number as having zero usage. I cannot find a way at the time of report running to identify and report the "not found" items. I would also like to report the Start and End Dates parameters requested, but cannot, the Enter Date parameter returns an empty parameter field across the whole report. I'm sure other users have had this problem of reporting the requested parameter values. Need assistance.

Jeff's answer is one way to do it. There are others:
If you want the items with no data interspersed with the other items (say, in item number order), then you'd change the report to use your item master table and do a left join from that to the usage data. If a field from the usage table is null, then there was no usage, and you can condition a message based on that.
Or, if your parameter selects item numbers without some type of "ALL" option, then you can use arrays to keep track of which if the selected items printed. Then in the report footer, compare the list of items reported to the parameter items, and show which item numbers had no usage. (This might run a tad faster than the separate subreport that Jeff suggested - but maybe not...)

Crystal Report Viewer 11.5 Java SDK - How to set sub report parameter value

Good day!
I have a report with 3 sub-reports in the detail section. Main report has two parameters and each sub-report has one parameter in turn. We have our own JSP to receive parameter values from the user. I am using the following code to do the parameter value setting later into the report. Parameter value setting works for main report, but not for the sub-report.
I get an Error, for the first sub-report, from the viewer saying:
The parameter 'parametername' does not allow null values
On this article: [article link|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap%28bd1lbizjptawmq==%29/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233313337333233323331%7D.do]
It says to set the report name of the parameter field to the name of the sub report. On this aspect, assuming this tip/solution works, I would like to read the names of the sub-reports and their parameter names. I do not want to hard-code them into our application.
Here is my current code:
sdk.occa.report.data.Fields parameterFields = new Fields();
I have a HashMap of <parameterName, parameterValue>
Iterate through the map
report.data.ParameterField aParameterField = new ParameterField();
aParameterField.setReportName(""); //main report
report.data.Values theValues = new Values();
ParameterFieldDiscreteValue aParameterFieldDiscreteValue = new ParameterFieldDiscreteValue();
aParameterFieldDiscreteValue.setValue (aValue);
theValues.add(aParameterFieldDiscreteValue);
aParameterField.setName(parameterName)
aParameterField.setCurrentValues(theValues);
parameterFields.add(aParameterField);
viewer.setParameterFields(parameterFields);
Please look at the line:
aParameterField.setReportName(""); //main report
Here's where I would like to say
if (parameter is subreport's parameter) then setReportName(subreport name);
Thx

It was little difficult to navigate down the objects to find the sub reports and their parameters. I am attaching the code:
May be there are other ways to do the same.
public String getReportNameForParameter (String parameterName, ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc)
 String result = "";
 boolean found = false;
 try {
 SubreportController src = reportClientDoc.getSubreportController();
 DataDefController ddc = reportClientDoc.getDataDefController();
 IDataDefinition idd = ddc.getDataDefinition();
 Fields fs = idd.getParameterFields();
 Iterator fiter = fs.iterator();
 while (fiter.hasNext()) {
 IField ifld = (IField) fiter.next();
 if (parameterName.equals(ifld.getName())) {
 found = true;
 //System.out.println ("\t Field Name/Description/HeadingText: " + ifld.getName() + "/" + ifld.getDescription() + "/" + ifld.getHeadingText());
 if (!found) {
 IStrings reportNames = src.getSubreportNames();
 //System.out.println (" Sub Reports If Any ...");
 if (reportNames != null) {
 Iterator iter = reportNames.iterator();
 while (iter.hasNext()) {
 String repName = (String) iter.next();
 //System.out.println ("\t Sub Report Name " + repName);
 ISubreportClientDocument srcd = src.getSubreport(repName);
 ddc = srcd.getDataDefController();
 idd = ddc.getDataDefinition();
 fs = idd.getParameterFields();
 fiter = fs.iterator();
 while (fiter.hasNext()) {
 IField ifld = (IField) fiter.next();
 if (parameterName.equals(ifld.getName())) {
 result = repName;
 break;
 //System.out.println ("\t\t Field Name/Description/HeadingText: " + ifld.getName() + "/" + ifld.getDescription() + "/" + ifld.getHeadingText());
 //System.out.println ("********************************************************** ");
 catch (Exception exc) {
 System.out.println ("Error/Exception while trying to find the report name for parameter [" + parameterName + "]");
 System.out.println ("*******************************************************************************************");
 exc.printStackTrace();
 return result;

Get the parameter fields defined in crystal report

I am porting my application from crystal 8.5 written in C++ to crystal 2008 in .net.
Here I am not making use of crystal report viewer neither I am creating .rpt in .net code.
I have a set of already created .rpt files.
I have written a function in .net to export the crystal report.
Its a generic function and will be called for multiple crystal reports.
I am passing the parameter values to the report by making use of the following function :
     ReportDocument repDoc;
     repDoc.SetParameterValue(APPTYPE, strNextToken[0]);
     repDoc.SetParameterValue(COMPORROLETYPE, strNextToken[1]);
Similarly I are setting other parameter values.
The problem here is that, all the reports do not have parameter fields defined that I am trying to set.
They may be present for one report and absent for another. In this case , if the report does not have a particular parameter
field, then it gives error on setting parameters and subsequently fails.
Now I want to find out through code what all parameter fields are defined in the report. Then I will only set those
parameter fields?
Please guide how can this be done.
Thanks
Sonam

Not as trivial as you might think. You will have to loop through all the sections of the report looking for the objects you need. I don't have a code specific to parameters, but looping through al the sections would be something like the code below. But... this will only show you parameters in a section. It will not show you parameters used in a formula, record selection formula, group selection formula, text field or a conditional formula. In order to get those parameters, you's have to parse out each of those objects looking for parameters. And this is probably not an exhaustive list of places to look for a parameter in the report. I get a headache just thinking about this...
Dim crSections As Sections
Dim crSection As Section
Dim crSubreportObject As SubreportObject
'set the crSections object to the current report's sections
crSections = crReportDocument.ReportDefinition.Sections
'loop through all the sections to find all the report objects
For Each crSection In crSections
crReportObjects = crSection.ReportObjects
'loop through all the report objects to find all the subreports
For Each crReportObject In crReportObjects
If crReportObject.Kind = ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject Then
'you will need to typecast the reportobject to a subreport
'object once you find it (***you'd go to setting the parameter here - or not...)
crSubreportObject = CType(crReportObject, SubreportObject)
'open the subreport object
crSubreportDocument = crSubreportObject.OpenSubreport(crSubreportObject.SubreportName)
'set the database and tables objects to work with the subreport

Set internal length for field without reference in FM REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLA

Hi Abapers,
Currently I use FM REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAYfor my report. The problem is, my internal table contain some field which have no reference to any data dictionary.
This part of my code when set that kind of field:
   z_field_cat-ref_tabname = ''.
   z_field_cat-ref_fieldname = ''.
z_field_cat-tabname = 'T_OUT_FINAL'.
    z_field_cat-fieldname = 'ARKTX'.
    z_field_cat-col_pos = z_colpos.
    z_field_cat-hotspot = 'X'.
    z_field_cat-outputlen = '200'.
    z_field_cat-seltext_m = 'Comments'.

I have tried some parameter in t_field_cat to set length to be 200. I used intlen. But it doesn't work.
Do any of you have any idea to solve this problem?

Formatting a Date Parameter Field

I created a Date/Time Parameter because the column is date/time. However, I only want the used to have to input the date portion. I know I can create the parameter as a Date but it returns a negative records even though there are records that meets the criteria. I know I have done this before, but for the life of me I cannot remember how I did it.
Can someone refresh my memory.
Thanks.
Herbie

I found a way to get round this, here goes.
Create a new Parameter
Change Type to Date Time
Select Expert
Select your date time field and set it equal to parameter
In the parameter fields right click on parameter and select edit.
Change the type from Date Time to Date
Select any range values etc at this point because they will reset when you change from date time to date.

Modify default value for static parameter field programmatically

Hi,
I have my Crystal Reports stored in a BO Enterprise system. I have written a java programm that scans the repository, loads the CR reports one by one into a ReportClientDocument, modifies the data source and then stores the updated report back to repository (it overwrites the existing objects).
I was even able to modify the default values for the parameters, which are used for scheduling of each report.
But what I am trying to do know is to overwrite the default value used when invoking the report interactively. This should be the value found under the Default Value field, when the Properties window of the parameter is opened in the CR designer.
This is what I have tried so far:
Option 1: First I tried to set the default values using com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.ReportClientDocument.getDataDefinition().getParameterFieldController().getField(...).getDefaultValues() . The only thing I have managed to do using this approach is to modify the static LOVs that are associated to static parameters. The actual selected value (shown under Default Value in the Properties window for the given parameter field) remained unchanged, when invoking the report in the InfoView or opening it in the CR designer.
Option 2: I have used com.crystaldecisions.sdk.plugin.desktop.report.IReport.getReportParameters().get(ik).getDefaultValues() to change the default values. I was able to see my changes in the BO repository (using a query on CI_INFOOBJECTS), still the changes did not really have an impact to what is displayed as default value when invoking the report in the InfoView.
Any help will be appreciated.
It would be great to know if someone of you has already implemented successfully such a use-case.
Regards,
Stratos
