SQL expression field is not displayed on the page header if no records

Hello
I'm creating a quite simple report. In this report I've got a SQL expression field which returns a DateTime
I display this field on the page header section.
Everything is working fine except when my principal query doesn't return any records my SQL expression field is not displayed. It doesn't seem to be evaluated.
So, I would display this field even if my Details Section doesn't contains any record.
I hope you understand what I mean.
Can someone help me?
thanks

Hello,
I thought about creating a formula but the value I need is stored in a database.
So i created a simple SQL expression field.
SELECT CONVERT(DATE,j_1) FROM VW_STD_DATEFIXING
And this expression doesn't have any dependencies.

  • SQL Expression fields do not display when no records are returned

    I have a report that uses SQl expression fields to summarize in the Report footer.  When the main report does not contain any records the SQL expression fields are blank.
    Is there a way to force these SQL expression fields to be evaluated evn when the main report does not contain any records.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You can try this :
    Under Report Options, check "Convert Database Null values to Default".

    Commands are intended to replace the standard linked tables that must users are accustomed to.
    I suppose Commands would be considered an "advanced" feature, considering that they require the developer to be able to hand write SQL (our at least copy it from another SQL editor).
    If you are comfortable writing reading, writing & editing SQL, Commands will open a the door to a whole new level of control when it comes to creating your data sets.
    The biggest problem w Commands is also it's greatest strength... If you're using a Command, CR will assume that you know what you're doing and will not try to rewrite or optimize your SQL in the background. You write it, CR sends it. That means if you write crappy SQL, CR will send your crappy SQL to the db server...
    It also means that you can use join types that aren't available in CR and use sub-queries in in your SQL... Basically anything you can do in the db's native editor.

  • Sql expressions field option not available in field explorer

    Hello:
    I would like to create a sql expression field in my report. however when I go to the field explorer panel, a sql expression fields node is not available to create one. Does anybody know why is this not an option?
    Thank You Very Much

    Also if you are creating based off any stored procedure or View you can't see Sql Exprn under field explorer.  I think it is also databse specific.  What is the databse you are using ? also what is your datasource ?
    Thanks,

  • Watermark will not display behind the page?

    I have been trying to set the watermark behind the page rather than on top. When set to display behind the page no watermark displays in any setting or page range. Very frustrating has any one else experienced this and if so how did you resolve the issue. I am using adobe pro X . the documents were originally created in Word 2010.

    Probably, the page has an existing white background, which is just a graphic at the back. If you put a watermark behind that you won't see the watermark.

    Hi Sunil,
    Are you passing parameters at CO or at VOImpl class. To get message printed and if running in Oracle Appln.
    Use
    oadbtransaction.writediagnostics/pageContext.writeDiagnostics.
    Sample
    pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this, "ItemKey " + iKey,2);
    You can set it at any level, please make sure your VO is getting executed.
    Thanks

  • Field should not display in the subtotal row in ALV report after sorting .

    we have a requirement, after sorting and subtotaling, the output in ALV is -

    Hi,
    if it helps you could create a hierachy. In this way you can define the field catalog for the lines and for the subtotal columns. The only thing is that you would always show the subtotal rows.
    You have references of hierachy alvs in

    In this case it also sorts

  • "SQL Expression Fields" branch missing from Formula Workshop/Field Explorer

    Hello,
    I am using Crystal Reports XI R2 SP3.  Some recent information I have seen suggests that I should use a feature called "SQL Expression Fields".  If I search the built-in Crystal Report help for "SQL Expressions", on the help pages I see that there is a "SQL Expression Fields" branch in the left pane of the Formula Workshop, just under Formula Fields and just above Selection Formulas (it's unfortunate that I cannot embed a bitmapped screen print of this).  The left pane of the Formula Workshop looks like this:
    Report Custom Functions
    Repository Custom Functions
    Formula Fields
    SQL Expression Fields
    Selection Formulas
    Formatting Formulas
    However, in my local copy of Crystal Reports the SQL Expression Fields branch does not exist - the left pane of the Formula Workshop looks like this:
    Report Custom Functions
    Repository Custom Functions
    Formula Fields
    Selection Formulas
    Formatting Formulas
    Is there some special patch, add-in or plug-in that's necessary to enable this functionality?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Bob Gardner

    I set up a DSN to a local MS Access database and used it for an ODBC connection.  Once connected, the SQL Expression Fields branch was available in Field Explorer and Formula Workshop.
    But I am developing reports for an ERP system that uses Oracle 10g databases - I have no choice but to use Oracle 10g databases as data sources for my reports.  I am not sure how to set up an ODBC connection to an Oracle database as I have never had to do so - will SQL Expression Fields not work with the native Oracle driver?
    Thank you,

  • SQL Expression field with parameter

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a SQL Expression Field that will give me the maximum status date of an employee before a certain date entered in parameter.
    ex: select max(status_date) from status where status_date < formula field or parameter
    Since I can not put a paramter or a formula field in a SQL Expression field, I might need a template or an example of something that works ?
    Thank's
    Steph
    Edited by: Stephanie Charest on Aug 4, 2008 7:59 PM

    Ok,
    The only way I found to get the maximum status date of an employee with the date entered in parameter was to litteraly put each employee ID, and Status Date in the Detail section.
    Then in the select expert create the parameter date.
    Then I created a running total field that counts the employees and resets on change of employee sorted by status date.
    Then I created a formula that gets all the first occurences of this running total field and if the running total field equals 1, a new formula field shows 1 and if not (2 and more), it shows 0.
    But I can't find the way to give me the total that I need for each group sections.
    It's ok if the SQL expression field does not work, but I need to find a way to get the max date.
    Thank's for your help for the SQL Expression field.

  • SQL Expression Fields (Field Explorer dialog box)

    I have Crystal Reports Version XI.  When I open the field explorer I can't see "SQL Expression Fields (Field Explorer dialog box) "
    Please help.

    The following information helps you
    Symptom
    In Crystal Reports 9 and later, the 'SQL Expression Fields' is unavailable in the 'Field Explorer' dialog box. The report is reporting off a stored procedure or command object.
    Why are 'SQL Expression Fields' unavailable in the 'Field Explorer' dialog box?
    Resolution
    'SQL Expression Fields' are unavailable in the 'Field Explorer' dialog box because the report is based on a stored procedure or command object.
    When connecting to a Stored Procedure or using a command object the SQL Statement is predefined and cannot be modified by Crystal Reports therefore the SQL Expression field will not be available when connecting to either of these objects.
    The SQL Expression field works by adding an entry into the SELECT portion of the SQL Statement in a Crystal report. A SQL Expression Field is only available in a report when:
    u2022 The report connects to tables or views.
    u2022 Crystal Reports generates the SQL statement.
