Supressing Parameter dialog box on Refresh Report

After some tinkering, I've figured out how to get a parameter passed from a VB.NET form to a Crystal Report:
Dim paramFields As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterFields()
Dim paramField As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterField()
Dim discreteVal As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue()
paramField.ParameterFieldName = "MyDateRange"
discreteVal.Value = Common.MyDates
paramField.CurrentValues.Add(discreteVal)
paramFields.Add(paramField)
crvBalances.ParameterFieldInfo = paramFields
This works just fine when the report is first opened in the Crystal Report Viewer. If I open the report a second time, however, using a different parameter, the old data is still on the report, and when I click the Refresh button in the report viewer, up pops that Parameter dialog box. I set the option to discard any saved data when loading the report, but that didn't help at all. Is there a way to KEEP the parameter dialog box suppressed and be able to refresh the report?
I'm running Visual Studio 2008, and using the version of Crystal that comes with same. Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I am not sure I quite understand the flow, but here is my view of it:
Load report
Enter parameters
View report
Close report
Re-load the same report
Re-use the parameters entered in (2) above
View report
For ensuring that the previous data is not on the report (e.g.; step (3)), make sure that the report is disposed correctly ( use .close and .dispose on the report object). As long as the "Saved Data" option is not enabled (see KBA 1984381), the report should not have any data on re-use.
Re-using the same parameters as you used in (2) will require that you somehow save what the user entered and on second load of the report, step (5) you enter those parameters in your code. There are no CR APIs that will do this for you.

How to disabled the input parameter dialog box in crystal reports 9

Post Author: Murtaza
CA Forum: General
Hi friends,I have got stuck with a weird problem. In my
crystal report, I have set up some input parameters. I am setting
values for these parameters somewhere inside code. But I don't
want to show the default input parameter dialog box. Under any case,
user should not see the ugly parameter dialog box that crystal
presents. Please suggest me how I can achieve
this. I cannot do this through code, because our environment does
not allow that. I have to do this in crystal reports viewer and
by setting some property of the crystal report object. But everything
must be done on UI, not through code. So, the solution should not be the following.
// step before step 1
// **** the line needs to refer to the report and be set before setting
ReportSource in the viewer to myReport
myReport.EnableParameterPrompting = False
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Murtaza

Hi Murtaza,
Unfortunately, I am not aware of any method to suppress the prompt for the input parameters, but still use them. It is truly a design-related issue for the report. The reason that the prompt appears is because the parameter it is prompting for is used in the report; in particular either the Group or Record Selection, or referenced in another formula.
The only way I can think of to not show the prompt, is to not use the parameter in the report. You did mention that you are setting the value of the parameter inside of the report -- are you doing this through using a formula? Perhaps you can just remove the parameter and only use the formula that you are setting the default values with.

Problem of Date format in Parameter dialog box

This problem happen In Crystal XI but not in version 8.5. When a parameter dialog box showing up it provides a calander for users to select a date. When the user select a date from the calander the prompt alway return a date in the format of (yyyy-mm-dd) regardless of whatever we set in the Windows's "Regional Settings". In our region we set date as dd-mm-yyyy.
When we edit the date in the parameter field box to dd-mm-yyyy and click OK the prompt complains and says "the date should be in the format of "yyyy-mm-dd"". Why?. Could Business Objects or anyone let me know is there a way to edit option. In our regional our clients are used to with the date format of dd-mm-yyyy.
Thanks,
Robert

Thank Sastry,
With an IT professional or a computer expert it does not seem to be a matter as they understand this is just another way to write date but many of our clients already used to with the dd-mm-yyyy and they are not American. If you say this was by design howcome in CR 8.5 the date in this dialog box follows the format in the regional settings. In CR 8.5 when you change date format in regional setting it reflect immediately in the parameter box. Asume what you say is true I would like to ask Business Objects that this is a backward development or just a way to purse every one in this world to follow the American style.
Come back to the parameter box. Our clients have used our software that uses CR 8.5 for many years. Not all but many of them just type in the date directly to the box. If this can't be fixed how will our support staff tell our customers? I would like to hear something from Business Objects.

Suppress the pop dialog box in ALV report

Hi Gurus,
I have developed an ALV report where we can edit the data and save to data base.
For a field, it checks the value on value table and displays a pop with error "This value does not exsit". Automatically.
I have not written an validation for this field.
When i try to close the dialoge box it does not close.

Hi,
What the field reference you have given, there is check table which it is validating for the field, check it there might be a check table.

Text dialog box instead of Report tab

I'm using TS3.5 and customizing the LabVIEW version of the OI. I would like to do two things. (1) Make the Test Sequence and Test Execution tabs visible at all times. Currently, the Execution tab (along with the Report tab) appear when "Test UUT" is selected or Executions is selected in the Listbox to the left of the SequenceView control. (2) I would like the report information to appear on the Sequence and Executions tabs as a Text Dialog box, to the right of the SequenceView control (that currently displays Step,Status,Flow Control).
Can someone get me started?

Hey Mr. Bean,
1) There is a subvi called Configure Event Callbacks in the block diagram. Inside of here there is a callback VI for the UIMessage handling. It is called Page Change CBack. Inside of there you'll see a subvi called Show Appropriate Tabs. This is where the tabs are being set for which one is shown. You can tweak this code to do what you expect.
2) You can just copy and paste the ReportView control onto the execution Tab. You will have to change some things in the block diagram to get it to look right. Like the code in resize controls subvi so that your execution control doesn't overshadow the new reportview control and you'll most likely have to make the new reportview control ConnectReportView. You can see how this is done by looking at the other one.

Supressing F4 dialog Box

Hi All,
I have an external application in .NET which calls RFC "RHF4_RFC_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST" to get the F4 help for the required field in SAP.
Following import paramters are supplied to get help values of material:
TABNAME                         RMMG1
FIELDNAME                       MATNR
SEARCHHELP                    MAT1
SHLPPARAM
DYNPPROG                        SAPLMGMM
DYNPNR                              0060
DYNPROFIELD                     RMMG1-MATNR
STEPL                                  0
SUPPRESS_RECORDLIST   X
My question is executing this RFC, gives out a selection pop-up, clicking Ok gives back the results. I do not need this pop-up. How can i do that, is there any other known FM to you which can give back the list without selection pop-up?
Regards
Munish Garg

My requirement is not to have custom coding. I need standard RFC/RFM which can solve the purpose.
I am supplying following paramters to RFM - RHF4_RFC_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST
TABNAME                =         RMMG1
FIELDNAME              =         MATNR

STEPL                      =         0
SUPPRESS_RECORDLIST     =     X
CALLBACK_PROGRAM        =    YZ_MG_TEST11
RETURN_ALL_FIELDS           =    *
This is supressing the output list but not the pop-up which comes for selection. Please help

How to supress dialog box in SUBMIT (Program_name) clause

Hello Experts,
statement like this:
SUBMIT RKACOR04 using SELECTION-SET 'TEST' EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY
AND RETURN .
but during the process there is a dialog box which prevend automatic processing. is it possible to supress the dialog box via additional clause?
Thanks

Are you sure you want to use this report, it is not intended for a regular/periodic use, this program adjusts total and detail records in CO tables in case of difference
Use RKACOR04 only with support from the SAP Hotline service or from an expert consultant for CO data structures.
also
SAP recommends running the report in the background.
You should correct the cause of dysfunction, and then only run once this report when actually needed, also read the OSS notes on this report.

FTP Upload - Replace File Dialog Box

Hi,
Am running LR3 on Vista 64, and using FTP export via the FTP Publisher plugin now available.
In principle everything is working fine, but if I am updating existing files, then for each and every file a LR dialog box pops up asking if I want to replace the file on the server.
There is no option for 'Replace all' so it becomes a rather tedious task of sitting in front of the PC whilst the upload takes place and accepting each file - not much fun with around 400 files.
Does anyone know if there is a way to supress this dialog box? Have tried using Passive, Enhanced Passive and Not Passive n the FTP settings, but makes no difference.
Thanks for any help,
Andy.

If using the LR FTP to overwrite an existing gallery the usual behaviour should be for LR to ask once if you intend to overwrite the whole gallery, not for each separate file. Perhaps you should try resetting the warning dialogs in the preferences menu and see if this returns the warning to its usual function.

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.
