how is it possible?please tell me the method in detail?

Thanks for the Reply sir,
When you say Write the Code, you are referring to the Package is that correct,unfortunately I am not implementing this via PL/SQL Package.
you mentioned that I can Implement the Logic in the Data definition file( which is a XML file), how and Where I have print use that IF construct (or) Can you Please Print the Code snippet in the Model XML template that i have pasted in my Post.

Displaying columns based on User Input

Hi,
I have a following requirement :
I have four columns in a report : Performance Indicator ,Target (XTD) , Actual (XTD),Indicator(Traffic Lights)
Based on the prompt, which contains column named as "Review Frequency" having values as 1. Monthly 2. Quaterly 3. Yearly.
When User select "Monthly" in pormpt I want to see MTD in Actual and Target column and Indicator depending on these columns.
When User select "Quaterly" in pormpt I want to see QTD in Actual and Target column and Indicator depending on these columns.
Can anybody tell me how can we achieve this?
I think I can achieve this with guided navigation but for that I have to create 3 reports.
Can anybody have any better idea to create just one report and based on user input I can show/hide columns in a single report?
This is mainly related to Balanced ScoreCard.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Vikas

you have seperate columns for monthly, quarterly, and yearly, right?
In the prompt, save the "Review Frequency" as a Presentation Variable "abc";
In the request, you add actual (MTD) column, edit the formula, use something like:
CASE
WHEN @{abc}='Monthly' THEN "- SalesFacts"."actual (MTD)"
WHEN @{abc}='Quarterly' THEN "- SalesFacts"."actual (QTD)"
ELSE "- SalesFacts"."actual (YTD)"
END
then do the same thing for target column.

Selecting records based on user formula

Post Author: Josh@RTA
CA Forum: Formula
I'm writing reports for a company that stores all of their dates as 8 digit numerical fields rather than a date or datetime datatype. I want to convert this field to a date type, then compare it to a parameter that stores user input as a date type.
However, due to the way that Crystal does it's passes over the data, I can't use a selection formula based off of another formula. So I'm wondering , has anyone ever used a selection formula that references another formula and how have you been able to do it? Maybe use group selection instead of record selection? Just not sure.
I'm including the formula I'm using to convert the date, as well as the selection formula so you get an Idea of what I'm doing.
//This converts the numeric 'date' field to a dateshared stringvar DateString := totext({wotrans.ROP_TRAN_DATE}, 0, '');shared datevar ConvertedDate :=If {wotrans.ROP_TRAN_DATE} < 19590101 then Date (1959, 01, 01) else Date ( Val (DateString [1 to 4]), Val (DateString [5 to 6]), Val (DateString [7 to 8]) );
//This is the select statement I'm using to compare the above formula to my parameter using record selection{@ConvertedTransDate} = {?TransDateRange}

Post Author: SKodidine
CA Forum: Formula
Replace your formula with this and then equate it to your parameter value in your selection criteria and see if it will work.
If {wotrans.ROP_TRAN_DATE} <= 19590101 then Date (1959, 01, 01)
else
date(
tonumber(totext({wotrans.ROP_TRAN_DATE},0,'','')[1 to 4]),
tonumber(totext({wotrans.ROP_TRAN_DATE},0,'','')[5 to 6]),
tonumber(totext({wotrans.ROP_TRAN_DATE},0,'','')[7 to 8]));
The process might be faster if you convert or change the data type of your parameter to numeric and then compare to the numeric date.

How to get field values in ALV based on user provided input

Hi,
In my ALV grid, I have 2 fields:
1. Material ID
2. Material Description
When user provides input to Material ID field, the material Description field should get populated immediately.
Note: Curretly I am able to do it based on the sy-ucomm = 'Enter', i.e. when the user presses "Enter" outside the ALV grid, I retrieve Description from Mat Table and populate this in Mat_Desc in ALV grid.
I want to do the same operation whenever tab is pressed (not when user presses enter outside the ALV grid).
Please provide your inputs for this.
Thanks & regards,
Ravish

Displaying columns based on user parameter

Hello Experts,
My oracle apps version is R12.1.3
and database is 11g
and below is my Question?
How can we display columns in a report based on user parameter.
Suppose my report has 15 columns but some user dont need all this 15 columns, so before getting the output user wants to give parameter for that report and then report will give output for only those columns which user had given in parameter window.
I think i clear my point here. Any help could be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Atul

What if you have 15 parameters such as
Display onhand (Yes/no)
Display item description (yes /no)
etc.
And then in the report, have a trigger associated with each column (as well as heading) that returns false if the parameter is No.
Hope this helps,
Sandeep Gandhi

How can i dynamically select columns based on the input parameter?

I have an input parameter which takes single numeric value.
Based on this value i have to dynamically select table-columns .
For eg: if i have following fields in my table :
SEM_1
SEM_2
SEM_3 and SEM_4.
And if i give numeric input as 2 , then i have to select "SEM_2" column only.
if the input is 3 then i have to select "SEM_3" only and leave the rest of the columns.
how do i achieve this dynamic feature in the "Select ..... From...... table...." statement in the ABAP??

Hi,
you should try something like this.
TYPES: cond(72) TYPE c.
data: condtab TYPE TABLE OF cond,
condw type cond.
data: lv_field(30) type c value 'SEM_'.
write p_num to lv_field+4(1).
condw = lv_field.
append condw to condtab.
SELECT (CONDTAB) FROM table INTO.....

Reading dynamic table column based on user selection

Hi there,
I am having a problem of reading and manipulating the data stored in a standard SAP table. The following example simulates the table and what i am trying to do:
Table: Storing sales data for sales person
SALES_PERSON    REGION   YEAR   MTH_S1 MTH_S2 MTH_S3 MTH_S4...
Richard S               NORTH    2007     100          200         300        400
John K                    SOUTH    2007      50           100         100        20
Brad P                    NORTH    2007     300          100         100        50
User have have the following selection option:
1. Month.
The program will calculate the sales based on the individual month selected
Example, if user select Month = 3, then program take only MTH_S3 column value
So total sales = 300100100=500
2. Month range
The program will calculate the sales based on the month range selected
Example, if user select Month 2 to 4, then program take MTH 2 to MTH_S4 columns value
So total sales = 400 (for MTH_S2) + 500 (for MTH_S3) + 470 (for MTH_S4) = 1370
How should i write the logic or code for this requirement?
Hope someone can help.
Thanks,
Pang HK

Hi Guru's
Good Morning!
I have a requirement to create a XMLPUBLISHER Report Whihc is Called as ITEM COUNT SUMMARY + ITEM COUNT DETAIL REPORT Following below
are my ParameterS
0.REPORT NAME
1.ORG
2.ORG COUNTRY
3.ITEM SELECTION
4.ORDER TYPE
5.STATUS
6.RECEIPT DATE FROM
7.RECEIPT DATE TO
8.TRANSIT DAYS
REPORT NAME: PARAMETER WILL LET THE USER to select the requrired Reports to be run.
ORG: is the Names of the SHIP FROM ORG
ORG COUNTRY: is a Dependent Parameter based on the ORG (i.e When a SHIP FROM ORG is Selected the ORG CHOICE Should have the CHoices for the selected ORG and when Nothing Selected from that ORG it should run for every ORG COUNTRY in that SHIP FROM ORG Currently we have two ORG COUNTRY PER SHIP FROM ORG say(USA, CANADA)
ITEM SELECTION: We need to Run this Report based on Item Selection ( The Logic should handle a total item selection whihc are comma seperated for upto 29
items)
ORDER TYPE : Types of Order Again this can be a List of Comma Seperated Values for order Types
STATUS: STatus should be Comma Seperated (ENTERED,WAVED,NOTWAVED,SHIPPED)
TRANSIT DAYS: Transit Days
RECEIPT DATE FROM: This is the Starting DATe range for the REport to be run
RECEIPT DATE TO: This is the END DATe range for the REport to be run.
The ITEM COUNT SUMMARY Report should allow the users to run the report 3 ways
1.ITEM COUNT RUN BY ORDER TYPE ( for all the STATUS)
2.ITME COUNT RUN BY STATUS ( FOR all the ORDER TYPES)
3.ITEM COUNT RUN BY TRANSIT DAYS

Is there a Way That I can Write in my Data definition file as

,'ITEM COUNT SUMMARY BY STATUS', Run query for BY_STATUS,
,'ITEM COUNT SUMMARY BY TRANSIT DAYS', Run query for BY_TRANSITDAYS,run query for DETAIL REPORT);
Also My Item Description Contains Special Characters like Registered Symbol, Copyright Symbol How would I force my XML Parser to Still consider them as TEXT's
May I Directly Specify <?xdofx:DECODE :REPORT_NAME = 'ITEM COUNT SUMMARY BY ORDERTYPE' THEN BY_ORDERTYPE ?> in the DATA DEFINITION file , I think this is only allowed in RTF please Help,

Determine the Struture columns Based on User Entry in Bex Report

Hello Experts,
I have requirement as below.
Requirement: Create a Bex report to Display Credits and Sales based on Fiscal Period in Rows and Profit centers in Columns ( PC1, PC2, PC3....PCN where N is Number of Profit centers a user entered in Selection screen).
I want to take Fiscal Period, Sales and Credits in Rows and Each profit center in Seperate Columns. The Tricky part is, I cannot define a structure with fixed number of Columns since User can Enter any number of Profit Centers in the selection Screen.
To put it simple terms, I have to Pass the Profit Center Variable Values to the Structure and Determine the Number of Columns in the Structure Dymanically at runtime..
Can this be done. If so Please let me know the Solution.
Thank and Regards,
Prashanth

Hi Pasha,
Thanks for responding back.
Actually there are 2 other Columns that I did not mention above. First Column is to Display values for all Profit Centers and the other Column is to Display the difference of Total - 'Values of all the Profit Centers that the user has selected'. Im not sure how it will work if I put the PC Char outside the Structure.
Please let me know If you have some more thought.
Thanks,
Prashanth

To get plant field in my selection screen based on user profile maintained

Hi All,
I have plant (WERKS) field in my selection screen. Now I need to get the plant value maintained in the user profile for that user. So how to get the plant value based on the user profile.
Please let me know if anyone having idea on this. I will reward to you with the valid points.
Regards
raghu.

Hi Raghu,
I have searched and found this information, check it may help you
Check the SY-UNAME with the the name of the Plant
User Plant user data take it from T001W table
and All logon User data will be in USR02 table
take the data from corresponding tables and check.
If you are working in SRM
Use FM BBP_READ_ATTRIBUTES to get the User plant after passing the User ID to the FM.
in SUIM go to Users by Complex Selection criterion.
In that there would be the Authorization Object..select an object which has the value plant in it and enter the value inthat....
Also u can enter WERKS value as 1120 in the object field and get the list,

Satish

Select Data based on User Permissions

Post Author: nomore
CA Forum: General
I've got a Crystal Infoview server which is becoming quite cluttered with reports.In a lot of instances, I will have 4 or 5 copies of the same report which are tailored to specifc users. For example a sales report which will show data based on a specific customer. I could create on report with a parameter where the user could just select the customer - but i dont want some people to be able to see specific customers. So at present i have a seperate report for each customer - and then set the report permissions to only allow specific users to run it.I attended a course a while back where they showed us how, hiding particular fields/data to certain users if they should
not be allowed to view it - but for the life in me i cannot remember at
all how they did it. Any tips greatly appreciated.

Post Author: V361
CA Forum: General
In the special fields section is CurrentCEUserName, not sure if this would work for you, because I have CR XI
You could surpress based on the id logged in, but that would be a lot of work,
Perhaps you could create a "permissions" list in excel or in the database if possible, with a list of the reports that each ID can run, then based on the id, you populate the list....
CurrentCEUserName inserts (in a formula) the name that was used to log on to the current session when using the Log On to BusinessObjects Enterprise dialog box.

Dynamic column based on user logged in

Hi,
I'm implementing Sales analytics and I have a requirement for a custom report.
The custom report has two columns, Employee and Opportunity revenue.
To start with, the employee column must display the logged in user. On drill down, it must show all the employees whose positions are child positions to the logged in user's position, and so on.
Any pointers on how to accomplish this using the w_position_d and w_position_dh tables.?
Thanks,
Seetharam
Edited by: Seetharam on Oct 7, 2009 1:30 PM

Hi
You can use :USER variable for showing only the user who logged in.....(by keeping a filter in the report) and for the drill ...if there is no hierarchy for postion in the rpd u need to create one so that it drills as required...

Create table allows fancy schemas in columns based on user defined types

I just found out that in XE one can create a table with the following definition:
CREATE TABLE "TEST"."TEST" (
"ID" NUMBER,
"LINK" "ABC"."URITYPE",
CONSTRAINT "PK_EMP" PRIMARY KEY ("ID")
   );even if schema "ABC" doesn't exist.
Likewise you can specify an existing schema on which you don't hold any privilege.
CREATE TABLE "TEST"."TEST" (
"ID" NUMBER,
"LINK" "SCOTT"."URITYPE",
CONSTRAINT "PK_EMP" PRIMARY KEY ("ID")
   );If you get the DDL using SQLDeveloper, in the former case you'll get the column without schema, in the latter case, if will retain the schema specification.
I discovered this because SQLDeveloper 2.1.1.64 seems to add the current schema to certain objects like XMLTYPE and URITYPE, even if their schema should be SYS.
I imagine that there must some problem at the parser level but also in DBMS_METADATA.

Output different data based on user select

Hi everyone,
Quick question, I would like to output different report columns based on user select, eg., users would be presented with two choices in a radiobutton list, eg., 1 and 2.
I have query results that contain columns A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
If user selects 1 then the output should be columns A, B, C, D, E.
If user selects 2 then the output should be columns A, B, C, F, G.
I am sure this is possible and easy? If so, what topic should I be reading/searching internet on?
Please advise.
Thanks!

I would say that this is most often something that your user interface should be dealing with (i.e. which columns should be shown).
There is no way to do that in SQL.
In PL/SQL it is a simple situation of creating two cursors and simply deciding which one to open.
<pre>declare
l_cur sys_refcursor;
begin
if :user_selection = 1 then
open l_cur for select A, B, C, D, E from tbl;
else
open l_cur for select A, B, C, F, G from tbl;
end if;
-- use the cursor
close l_cur; -- or return to user interface
end;
/</pre>
Hope this helps.
