Use of i_tab_raw_data parameter in FM ''TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP''

Hello Experts,
I have usesd above Fm in my program and passing i_tab_raw_data parameter as blank.
But don't know the reason of passing i_tab_raw_data parameter.
Can some1 suggest why do we need to pass this param / blank......
Thanks,
Anoop Bhandari

Hi,
It is part of the fixed parameter interface of the functions : SAP_CONVERT_TO_*_FORMAT where * can be CSV,XML,TXT,XLS.
It is used only in SAP_CONVERT_TO_TXT_FORMAT.
The parameter interface is kept same for all such FMs to maintain central logic and dynamicity, therefore it is found in SAP_CONVERT_TO_XLS_FORMAT although never used there.

Two commands in the report using the same parameter - fail under Java

I have a report that contains 2 SQL commands.
Both of these commands use one parameter X of type Number in their 'WHERE' clause.
When i'm viewing the report in CR 2008, i'm asked for a value of this parameter and all data is filled in the report - OK
The problem occurs when the same report is printed through Crystal Java Runtime:
Report is printed without data! - it's empty.
What we noticed in the debug information thrown by the Crystal libraries is that parameter value is set only in one of these commands:
Original statement 1:
select a.something
from ANM_T a
where a.anmid = {?PARAMETER01Id}
Original statement 2:
SELECT * from ANM_T a
WHERE a.anmid={?PARAMETER01Id}
OUTCOME of Statement 1:
select a.something
from ANM_T a
where a.anmid = 0
OUTCOME of Statement 2:
SELECT * from ANM_T a
WHERE a.anmid=9825
In above example we may see that crystal set the value only in the second statement - first one got 0 - i suspect its some default value.
Parameter in the Java code is set in the right way. In case of using only one statement it works. If we use two separate parameters (whose values are equal ) it also works.
// we have also the loop over the parameters
ParameterFieldController paramFieldController =
                report.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController();
paramFieldController.setCurrentValue( "", paramName, paramValue );
What is strange for me is that Crystal Reports enables to use the same parameter in two commands but if you edit one of them you may change the type of this parameter for a command ( for example from Number to String) but the parameter type in the second command remains unchanged ( it's strange because in my opinion it is the same parameter). In the Field Explorer under the Parameter Fields i still see one parameter of type used in the second command.

Hello all,
We have prepared some sample code to illustrate the issue.
We have modified the sample application (Link: [http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/c07fec3e-3e11-2c10-1991-8c0fb0b82b75]) to that it also changes the parameter value. Parameter is used in two commands saved in report.
The code changing the parameters value looks like this:
private static void changeParameters(ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc) throws ReportSDKException {
          DataDefController dataDefController = reportClientDoc.getDataDefController();
        Fields fields = dataDefController.getDataDefinition().getParameterFields();
        for( int i = 0; i < fields.size(); i++ ){
            Field field = (Field)fields.getField( i );
            if( field.getKind() == FieldKind.parameterField ){
                        setParameter( ((ParameterField)field).getName(), "9825" , reportClientDoc);
private static void setParameter( String paramName, String paramValue, ReportClientDocument document ) throws ReportSDKException {
     ParameterFieldController paramFieldController =
                document.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController();
     paramFieldController.setCurrentValue( "", paramName, paramValue );
We have tried the following codes to change the connection info used in commands:
Attempt 1
          Tables tables = databaseController.getDatabase().getTables();
          //Set the datasource for all main report tables.
          for (int i = 0; i < tables.size(); i++) {
               ITable table = tables.getTable(i);
               //Keep existing name and alias.
               table.setName(table.getName());
               table.setAlias(table.getAlias());
               //Change connection information properties.
               IConnectionInfo connectionInfo = table.getConnectionInfo();
               //Set new table connection property attributes.
               connectionInfo.setAttributes(propertyBag);
               //Set database username and password.
               //NOTE: Even if these the username and password properties don't change when switching databases, the
               //database password is *not* saved in the report and must be set at runtime if the database is secured.
               connectionInfo.setUserName(DBUSERNAME);
               connectionInfo.setPassword(DBPASSWORD);
               connectionInfo.setKind(ConnectionInfoKind.SQL);
               table.setConnectionInfo(connectionInfo);
               //Update old table in the report with the new table.
               databaseController.setTableLocation(table, tables.getTable(i));
               //databaseController.setTableLocation(tables.getTable(i), table);
Attempt 2
         newConnectionInfo.setAttributes(propertyBag);
         connectionInfo.setUserName(DBUSERNAME);
         connectionInfo.setPassword(DBPASSWORD);
         //preserve subreport links
         SubreportController src = doc.getSubreportController();
         Map<String, SubreportLinks> linkMapper = new HashMap<String,SubreportLinks>();
         for(String subreportName : src.getSubreportNames()){
             linkMapper.put(subreportName,
                 (SubreportLinks) src.getSubreportLinks(subreportName).clone(true));
         //If this connection needed parameters, we would use this field.
         Fields<IParameterField> pFields = doc.getDataDefController().getDataDefinition().getParameterFields();
         replaceConnectionInfos(doc.getDatabaseController(), newConnectionInfo, pFields);
         IStrings strs = src.getSubreportNames();
         Iterator<String> it = strs.iterator();
         while (it.hasNext()) {
           String name = it.next();
           ISubreportClientDocument subreport = src.getSubreport(name);
           pFields = subreport.getDataDefController().getDataDefinition().getParameterFields();
           replaceConnectionInfos(subreport.getDatabaseController(), newConnectionInfo, pFields);
         //reconnect subreport links since when using replaceConnection links are erased
         for(String subreportName : src.getSubreportNames())
           src.setSubreportLinks(subreportName, linkMapper.get(subreportName));
private static void replaceConnectionInfos(DatabaseController aDc, IConnectionInfo aNewConnInfo, Fields<IParameterField> aParameterField) throws ReportSDKException {
         ConnectionInfos cis = aDc.getConnectionInfos(null);
         for (IConnectionInfo oldConnInfo : cis)
           aDc.replaceConnection(oldConnInfo, aNewConnInfo, aParameterField, DBOptions._useDefault
               + DBOptions._doNotVerifyDB);
In both cases, the observed problem occurred. In one query the parameter was set properly, while on the other it was set to 0 (or empty string in case of string parameters). What is more, no data appeared on the print.
Do you happen to know the reason of this issue?How can we fix the problem?

How do I use the UHRY_ACTIVE_ROWS parameter?

We want to create a button to display the rows as a hierarchy (as available in query properties). To do this I realise I need to use the UHRY_ACTIVE_ROWS parameter in the template properties so to change the properties dynamically (as we require this functionality in a button) we started with the javascript command
newurl = "&CMD=LDOC&TEMPLATE_ID=YTEST_TEMPLATE&UHRY_ACTIVE_ROWS=X";
SAPBWOpenURL(SAP_BW_URL_Get()+newurl);
This successfully sets the flag in the query properties but as we have mandatory variables the variable screen is shown which we don't want to see as the users have already entered the variables previously.
Is it possible therefore to
1) Avoid the Variables screen showing as they are already populated?
or
2) Set UHRY_ACTIVE_ROWS in another method?

Hi Neal,
Not sure if this would help..
You can try using an additional parameter in your URL
VARIABLE_SCREEN=%20 or VARIABLE_SCREEN=' '
This should supress the Variable screen.
Cheers,
Praveen.

Custom Report Erroring when using All as parameter

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in running custom report.
=> DB Server Info
RDBMS : 11.2.0.2.0
Oracle Applications : 12.1.3
I am getting following error.
REP-1401: 'afterpform': Fatal PL/SQL error occurred.
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
custom report two parameters one is date parameter and name parameter
date parameter is using as fnd_date.canonical_to_date(:P_EFFECTIVE_DATE) in queries.
if I give name parameter for individual, then it works fine.
if I give name parameter as "All", then its erroring. I tried it in my best way, but its not working.
variable data length increased though its not working, can any one help me on this please....
Here is the Afterpform code
function AfterPForm return boolean is
lName VARCHAR2(5000); -- its changed from lName varchar2(50);
begin
IF :P_NAME <> 'All' THEN
lName:= 'AND name =:P_NAME';
ELSE
lName:='AND name in                                                             (select name from <******>
          order by name
END IF;
:P_Where_Clause := lName;
return (TRUE);
end;
Thanks for all your help so far.
Ram.
Edited by: user8822881 on Feb 9, 2012 10:43 AM

excuse i understood that you use All as parameter name
ORA 6502 is when you assign a char to a number or when assign a value which length is greater than the variable length
what's the dimension of p_where_clause for example?
you can trace with srw.message
--- <Code>
function AfterPForm return boolean is
lName VARCHAR2(5000); -- its changed from lName varchar2(50);
begin
srw.message(1,'step 1');
IF :P_NAME = 'All' THEN
srw.message(2,'step 2');
lName:='AND name in (select name from <table>
order by name
srw.message(3,'step 3');
ELSE
srw.message(4,'step 4');
lName:= 'AND name =:P_NAME';
srw.message(5,'step 5');
END IF;
srw.message(6,'step 6');
:P_Where_Clause := lName;
srw.message(7,'step 7');
return (TRUE);
end;
---</Code>
i think your query is not good
for example
lName:= 'AND name =:P_NAME';
when instance the query the query search this condition but no use the value of p_name parameter
write
lName:= 'AND name = '||''''||:P_NAME||''''; then :p_name take the value

How can I use the same parameter to use elsewhere by Manage Variables ?

Hello,
I have a little problem that I need to know. I want to use the same parameter to use elsewhere.
Example,
I have a parameter on page 1 and I wish to use this parameter in the other page by Manage Variables.
How can I do this ?
Thank you.

..just open ManageVariables (right click on the a page and select Manage Variables)...
then you select the parameter on the page where you want to insert your previous value (your variable)...use the dropdown list to select the variable that contains your value...and it should work

When I run client main method with parameter "lxh",I will get a error says the getPass() parameter which has given is wrong.
How to use the out parameter in client?

Does this error only occurs if you pass "lxh" or always?
Did you try passing a StringHolder Object rather than a NULL Object?
Perhaps you can post the error message!?

How to pass multiple query string values using the same parameter in Query String (URL) Filter Web Part

Hi,
I want to pass multiple query string values using the same parameter in Query String (URL) Filter Web Part like mentioned below:

SucCeSS DoEs NOT MatTer.

Hi DH, sorry for not being clear.
It works when I create the connection from that web part that you want to be connected with the Query String Filter Web part. So let's say you created a web part page. Then you could connect a parameterized Excel Workbook to an Excel Web Access Web Part
(or a Performance Point Dashboard etc.) and you insert it into your page and add
a Query String Filter Web Part . Then you can connect them by editing the Query String Filter Web Part but also by editing the Excel Web Access Web Part. And only when I created from the latter it worked
with multiple values for one parameter. If you have any more questions let me know. See you, Ingo

How to use Dynamic cascading parameter in crystal Report XI ?

Hi,
I want to use Dynamic cascading parameter in crystal Report XI which is to be viewed through the infoview without using the Business View.Is it possible?
I could implemented Dynamic cascading parameter using the CR XI developer without using Business View, but cannot view the report when uploaded it to BOXI, through infoview.
Please suggest..
Thanks in advance..

In the crystal reports field explorer>right click on parameter field>create new-->name the parameter field and select the type as dynamic. Now in the value field click the row and add the database field also add another field below that by clicking on the next row so..on. The order should be like this parent field first and then child field next...... Also click on the last column to add parmater for each level.

How to use the region parameter of main report for subreport chart titles?

I am using Crystal Reports 11.
I create 1 main report with 10 sub-reports that contain cross-tabs & charts. The main report has a parameter regarding 3 different areas: region1, region2, and region3.
I use the method of adding the u2018regionu2019 parameter of main report to the selection formula of the sub-reports. So, I can select 'region' from main report to controll outputs in sub-reports by region.
I use formulas for chart titles, e.g.:
Select {Product Code}
Case 'a111':
u2018Region1 u2013 a111 Counts'
Case u2018b222u2019:
u2018Region1 u2013 b222 Counts'
u2026
u2026
Default:
u2026
Since I pass the u2018regionu2019 parameter of main report to sub-reports, I have to change chart titles dynamically based on the region I select.
How can I use the region parameter from main report in the formulas to get chart titles dynamically?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you.
I am not using Chart Title with "Chart Expert".
I am using a formula for chart titles, e.g.:
Select {Product Code}
Case 'a111':
u2018Region1 u2013 a111 Counts'
Case u2018b222u2019:
u2018Region1 u2013 b222 Counts'
u2026
u2026
Default:
u2026
I drag this formula above the charts and it looks like a dynamic title. So, for product a111, the chart title would be "Region1 u2013 a111 Counts"; for product b222, the chart title would be "Region1 u2013 b222" Counts; and so on ...
Because I pass the region parameter from master report to subreport, I want to change the region part of the chart titles dynamically.
For example,
when select Region1, the chart titles should be: "Region1 u2013 a111 Counts"; "Region1 u2013 b222"; ...
when select Region2, the chart titles should be: "Region2 u2013 a111 Counts"; "Region2 u2013 b222"; ...
I want to add the region parameter into the tiltle formula.
How should I do?

How to use the out parameter of a transformation

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I need to move all the transformations from process flows to map.SO for each transformation I need to have 1 map which calls this transformation.I have 1 transformation which has both input and output parameter.If I use this transformation in mapping then how to use the out parameter of thsi transformation.This out parameter needs to beused in other mappings.Can soemone please help me.
Thansk in advance

Hi,
I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do.
What works: Connect the outgroup of a pre- or post-mapping process operator to the mapping output parameter operator..
What does not work: Connect the outgroup of an operator that can return more than one row (e.g. table operator, filter, joiner ,...) to the mapping output parameter operator. The mapping output parameter just returns "one row", like a pl/sql function call.
You cannot pass a "data stream" from one mapping to another. Maybe the pluggable mappings is what you are looking for.

Carsten.

How to capture SOAP fault when using "Do not use SOAP envelope" parameter

Hi,
we have a synchronous RFC -> XI -> Web Service scenario. The Web Service requires some custom SOAP header elements for user authorization which forced us create the entire SOAP message in a message mapping and to set the "Do not use SOAP envelope" parameter in the receiving SOAP adapter.
In order to capture the SOAP fault message from the Web Service we have created a message interface with a fault message and also created an interface mapping with a fault message mapping.
Our problem is that the fault message is not populated when we get a SOAP fault message back from the Web Service. Is this due to the fact that we have set the "Do not use SOAP envelope" parameter?
Thanks in advance!

Parameter Form-How to use a user parameter to retrieve list of values for another par

I am developing a report in Reports 6i. There are 2 parameters on parameter form namely year and month.
LOV for Year is retrieved from database. After user selects a value from LOV for year, I want to retrieve another LOV for month parameter based on selected year. That is how can we use a user parameter's value to dynamically retrieve an LOV for another parameter on the same parameter form.
Pl. guide.
Thanks in anticipation.

You can't restrict the "List of Values" of one parameter based on the value of another parameter within the Reports Builder/Runtime parameter form.
The SQL select statements within LOV's are only executed once. They aren't re-calculated when you enter, leave or change other field values in the parameter form. This is mainly because there is no event model in the Reports parameter form and it only supports basic form functionality.
To do what you're after in a client-server environment you need to create an Oracle Forms "parameter form" and use that to execute the Report using the run_product() call. Actually, you should probably use Oracle Forms for any more generic "form" functionality such as radio buttons or check boxes.
If you're in a Web rather than Client-Server environment, it may be easier to create a JSP based parameter form. You can then use Reports 9i since it has JSP support to assist here.
