Setting a default value for a substitution variable

Hi,
I want to ask a user to enter a value for ORDER_DATE and, if he enters nothing, give the ORDER_DATE a default value.
Here is what I've got so far:
SELECT ORDER_AMOUNT, ORDER DATE
FROM PURCHASE_ORDER
WHERE DATE>'&start_date'
The user is then prompted for start_date and, if they hit Carriage Return they get an error. I want them to be able to hit it and get a default start date of, let's say 01-01-90.
Any suggestions?

Something like
SELECT 'Test'
FROM dual
WHERE sysDATE>NVL('&start_date', to_date('01-01-1900', 'DD-MM-YYYY'))

  • SRM 4.0- How to set the default values for product type (01) only for SC

    The radio button “Service” should not be visible.
    Also for search help (e.g. search for internal products) where a search should only be possible for product type 01 (goods). The system should not display the product type and internally always search for goods only.
    How to set the default values for product type (01) only for SC
    We needs to use Search help BBPH_PRODUCT which having parameter PRODUCT_TYPE
    Here we can set defalut value 01 but it is not correct one since same search help is using several places.
    We need to limit the search help results only for SC.
    Kindly help out me ASAP.

    The easiest way to set defautl values is to edit the batch class.
    Goto the characteiristic and go to update values.
    In here you probably have something like 0 - 100 as a spec range.
    On the next line enter the default value within this range.  At the end of the line, click in the box in the column labelled "D".  This indicates the defautl value for the characteristic.
    If you need to you can do this in the material classification view as well.
    Just to be clear, these values will only show up in the batch record.  You can not have defautl values in resutls recording screens.

  • Set a default value for a radio button populated with a List of value

    Hi,
    I am using jdeveloper 11.1.1.3.0. I need to set a default value for a radio button populated with a List of value(Yes/No). Here's the selectonechoice code.
    <af:selectOneRadio value="#{bindings.Code.inputValue}"
    label="#{bindings.Code.label}"
    required="#{bindings.Code.hints.mandatory}"
    shortDesc="#{bindings.Code.hints.tooltip}"

    valuePassThru="true" layout="horizontal">
    <f:selectItems value="#{bindings.Code.items}" id="si1"/>
    </af:selectOneRadio>
    I want to have the selectonechoice set to No by default. In the previous versions, I set the default value in the base attribute VO. But it is not working in the new version.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    this should work in JDeveloper 11.1.1.3 the same as in 11.1.1.2. If it doesn't then it is better to file a bug than to work around it

  • How to set the default values for print options

    Hi all,
    We can set the default value for print options, just like Logical destination、numbers of messages、print immediately and so on, so where we should to maintain these default?

    Hi Sandy,
    This can be done by an abaper by making changes in the driver program. The Driver program feeds all the data which u have mentioned for printing.
    if the driver program is standard. copy to an z type and make modification on printer settings on the driver program code.
    this will surely solve the issue.

  • Set of default values for Select-Options

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a requirement where I need to set default values for select options
    ex: SELECT-OPTIONS: S_MTART FOR MARA-MTART
    default values must be ERSA - HIBE- FHMI - DIEN - GEST
    Please tell me how to do it.
    Effective replies will be rewarded with full points
    Karthik

    Hi,
    For each SELECT-OPTION, you can only specify one DEFAULT.
    You must specify the default value g in its internal format, e.g. "SELECT-OPTIONS DATE FOR SY-DATUM DEFAULT '19931224'", not "... DEFAULT '24.12.1993'".
    The default value g should normally be a literal because, at runtime when you use SUBMIT, it is transferred to the selection options table sel so early that no value can be assigned to the field g. System fields like SY-DATUM are an exception here because the system usually assigns values to them as soon as the report processing starts.
    When you use user-defined selection screens in your programs that you do not call using SUBMIT, the DEFAULT value is transfered when the selection screen is first called. In this case, therefore, you can use other fields g.

  • Setting a default value for SQL based LOV

    Hi There,
    Is there a way to set the default value in an LOV. Like lets say the LOV gets distinct to_Char(date_field,'YYYY') from a table. I want that the highest year is the default value. Currently, since I have the null option also, when the page loads, the lov is always null. I need to change it manually.
    Thanks,
    Sun

    You can easily set the dynamic item defaults
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21674/bldapp_item.htm#HTMDB28287
    for example select the default type as PL/SQL Function Body and enter the following code
    declare
    v_return date;
    begin
    select max(date_field) into v_return from your_table;
    return to_Char(v_return,'YYYY');
    exception when others then
    return null;
    end;

  • Setting a default value for DropDownByIndex UI

    I have a drop down by index UI element which gets its values from a table.  i need to set the default value to 'Select a State' or something like that.  How do i do it? 
    Thanks,
    Lathika

    Hi Lathika,
    Please follow these links:
    To set default value as blank  in drop down by index
    and
    Re: Value of RFC in Dropdownbykey
    Also, try this solution:
    that means you have to set at design time,
    to set default drop down value you will have to set the value for particular attribute (which is linked to the dropdown element) in the context
    like
    wdContext.currentContext<nodeName>Element.set<FieldName>(<default value>)
    This generally done in Initialization method of the controller

  • Multiple default values for Selection type variable

    Hi all,
    I am using Bex 3.5. I have a fundamental doubt while creating a User Entry, Selection Option, Optional type variable.  I am trying to include multiple single variables in the default section, but it accepts only one. Is it possible to add multiple default values to the variable so that they show up in the selection screen when we run the report via Bex Analyzer ?
    Thanks for the inputs !
    Regards
    Snehith.

    Hi,
    In one of my bi7 reports, i remember i have given multiple default values in a single variable. For example i wanted to have multiple material types in my selection screen.
    But i have to check out the type of that user entry variable.
    Hope the above reply was helpful.
    Kind regards,

  • How to set a default value for a page item

    I am working with a facility table that has name and address information. The user can add contact name information on a separate page. Since the address for the facility and contact is usually the same, I want to add a default value for the contact address. The facility page is on 201 and the link to add a new contact row is on page 202. I showed in the default value :P201_street for the contact's address. But, when I run the page, the contact address field shows the :P201_street, not the actual facility address. What am I leaving out? Must be something obvious?!
    Thanks very much.
    Judy

    In the default value, I showed: v('P201_STREET1') with the default value type of: PL/SQL Expression and received the following oracle error ==> Item default is not a PL/SQL expression. Use &ITEM syntax. The v('ITEM') syntax is not valid for item defaults. So I changed it to: &P201_STREET1 and got another oracle error , ERR-9132 error in PLSQL expression for item default code, item=P202_STREET1.
    Any more suggestions? Thx.
