User parameter LOV sorting
Is there any way to sort a parameter LOV in descending order? I can't find that option anywhere.
Hi,
Sreedhar is correct if the select generating the LOV was in descending order,
If not it will just show the LOV in the order it was created.
If the LOV is generated from a custom folder then change the order there,
If not then you can create a new list of values and replace the existing one.
You can also use the "alternative sort" to sort your list of values, there are a few posts here regarding that issue...
Good luck

Pass parameter value to another parameter.... User query in user parameter
Hello everyone, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Problem:
My report currently has 5 user parameters (3 Number, 2 Characters). I have an after parameter trigger that evaluates all the parameters to see which one has any value and then creates the “where clause”. Below is an example of two of the 5 parameters.
The function works fine, I just cut out all the other stuff for this issue.
function AfterPForm return boolean is
IF :P_JOB_ID is not null then
:P_WHERE_CLAUSE := 'where Job_num = :P_JOB_ID';
ELSIF :P_QUES_DESC is not null then
:P_WHERE_CLAUSE := 'where DESCRIPTION like :P_QUES_DESC’;
ELSE :P_WHERE_CLAUSE := ‘where JOB_NUM = 0';
The “P_WHERE_CLAUSE” is used as follows in a query.
Select job_num
from PROMOTION
&P_W_CLAUSE
Issue:
The query result can be anywhere from 1 to 50 job_num’s. I need to show the end user running this report the values (job_num) in a drop down list. They in turn will select one job_num which will be used to run the report. I tried putting the Select job_num from PROMOTION &P_W_CLAUSE in a User Parameter but that does not work. I get an error. I feel that I am approaching this the wrong way. Because in the end I would end up with two queries, one for the Select statement containing the P_W_CLAUSE and another with the final report. This issue is sort of like cascading prompt where the values from one (or more) parameters are used in the select of another user parameter which in turn the value selected will be used in the final report. Also this report will be used somewhere between 50 - 75 times per day so storing the values in a temp table might not work.Sorry,
as I know depending parameters like you want are not possible in Reports. You can use one reports as parameter-report-only to use a second as your original report, but this is not perfect. Or use a tool like Application Express (which is able to have depending fields) in front of reports to build your parameter forms.

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. -
How to create a user parameter for a report
Hi,
I am writing a report in ORACLE 6.0, and I need to create a user
parameter for my report.
My database includes fields: item_id, item_cost, and item_desc.
What I want to do is: set up a user parameter for item_cost, and
the report will prompt the user to enter number into this
parameter, then the report will display item_id and item_desc
depending the user-entered item_cost.
thanks.
JunMy SQL code is below:
select item_id, item_invo, item_desc
from tb_item
where item_invo=:p_1
but I got an error message:
REP-0788:Warning: The value of restricted LOV parameter p_1 is
not among the selectedble values.
Would you help me again? Thanks.

Writing order by clause with user parameter
I have a user parameter where the user is supposed to choose what column they want to sort by.
And they can choose between k.personnr and k.personnavn. I am trying to do this with a decode function.
Now this would work fine if there was no union between these select statements.
But with the union I get a ORA-01785, where they tell me to put in a number.
Here is the sql:
SELECT
k.personnr as PERSON ,
k.personnavn as NAVN,
r.belop as SUM,
concat(to_char(r.bilagdato,'MM'), to_char(r.bilagdato,'YYYY')) AS MND,
PERIODE(concat(to_char(r.bilagdato,'MM'), to_char(r.bilagdato,'YYYY'))) AS PERIODE
FROM
reskontro r,
klient k,
kontoplan p,
konto c
WHERE
r.distriktnr='21'
and r.distriktnr=c.kontoid
and r.distriktnr=k.distriktnr
and r.personnr=k.personnr
and r.kontonr=p.kontonr
and (((r.bilagdato between :p_fra_dato and :p_til_dato) and (:p_fra_dato <= c.overfort) and (:p_til_dato <= c.overfort))
or ((r.bilagdato between :p_fra_dato and c.overfort) and (:p_fra_dato <= c.overfort) and (:p_til_dato >= c.overfort)))
UNION ALL
SELECT
k.personnr as PERSON ,
k.personnavn as NAVN,
(t.belop/100) as SUM,
concat(to_char(t.bilagdato,'MM'), to_char(t.bilagdato,'YYYY')) AS MND,
PERIODE(concat(to_char(t.bilagdato,'MM'), to_char(t.bilagdato,'YYYY')),:P_HORISONTAL) AS PERIODE
FROM
transaksjon t,
klient k,
kontoplan p
WHERE
t.distriktnr='21'
and t.distriktnr=k.distriktnr
and t.personnr=k.personnr
and t.kontonr=p.kontonr
and t.bilagdato between :p_fra_dato and :p_til_dato
This is the order by clause I would like to use:
order by decode(:p_order_by,'Personnavn',k.personnavn,k.personnr)
I also get an error when I use:
order by decode(:p_order_by,'Personnavn',2,1)
Can anybody tell me how to work around this problem?Hi,
One way you can do to get around this problem could be :
select * from (
SELECT
k.personnr as PERSON ,
k.personnavn as NAVN,
r.belop as SUM,
concat(to_char(r.bilagdato,'MM'), to_char(r.bilagdato,'YYYY')) AS MND,
PERIODE(concat(to_char(r.bilagdato,'MM'), to_char(r.bilagdato,'YYYY'))) AS PERIODE
FROM
reskontro r,
klient k,
kontoplan p,
konto c
WHERE
r.distriktnr='21'
and r.distriktnr=c.kontoid
and r.distriktnr=k.distriktnr
and r.personnr=k.personnr
and r.kontonr=p.kontonr
and (((r.bilagdato between :p_fra_dato and :p_til_dato) and (:p_fra_dato <= c.overfort) and (:p_til_dato <= c.overfort))
or ((r.bilagdato between :p_fra_dato and c.overfort) and (:p_fra_dato <= c.overfort) and (:p_til_dato >= c.overfort)))
UNION ALL
SELECT
k.personnr as PERSON ,
k.personnavn as NAVN,
(t.belop/100) as SUM,
concat(to_char(t.bilagdato,'MM'), to_char(t.bilagdato,'YYYY')) AS MND,
PERIODE(concat(to_char(t.bilagdato,'MM'), to_char(t.bilagdato,'YYYY')),:P_HORISONTAL) AS PERIODE
FROM

Need to display a value before the header based on a user parameter.
I have a select on the user parameter list of values.
SELECT DISTINCT GROUP_ROWID, STR_GROUP_NAME
FROM TBL_COMPANY_GROUP;
I select the option hide the first column in order to show only a list of values and not the row_ids.
I need to display the str_group_name within the header as a title. I insert a field in the header and in source select the name of the parameter p_groupid but the only thing that I get is the row_id value not the name. I use the row_id to pass it on my queries but I need the name value in the header. Any ideas? Please help.
Thanks.create a parameter called p_header.
in the after parameter form trigger
select str_group_name into :p_header
from tbl_company_group
where group_id = :p_groupid;Have the header field source be p_header. -
Placeholder or User Parameter receiving directly from a field.
I can place as well placeholder as much as user parameter inputs in my report. My issue is when query returns no rows, but I need to show in this case user input datas, and my variable(placeholder or user parameter) is just syncronized with user inputs. But I wanna to change value when no rows returned it shows user inputs, and when there are rows, show a field at query.
Assumed i.g:
SELECT NM_NAME FROM MY_TABLE WHERE NM_NAME = :NAME
I have one placeholder inside report margin that represents NAME.
When that query has rows, show QUERY FIELD, so... NM_NAME, when no rows returned, so show :NAME.
I´m not getting point how can I syncronize this with my issue, to contour this, I can create one extra query (same as mine main query) that return the value when there is rows to return.
What is the best maner to fix it?
I hope that my explanation was plain.
Regards!I should use functions from the SRW package in a format trigger:
1. Create a field in the margin (layout).
2. Give it a source . eg. 'mode' or ' desformat' (just any of the system parameters)
3. Create a format trigger on this field with code (eg.):
function F_1FormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
if :P_parameter = 'Yes' then
srw.set_field_char(0,:Name);
else
srw.set_field_char(0,'other text');
end if;
return (TRUE);
end;
Hope this helps,

Hello,
I have created a report using an xml pds. I am using a servlet for the xml data stream source. Everything works great with the url to the servlet hard-coded between the <xml></xml> tags (ex. <xml>http://10.3.35.119:9004/ssapp/servlet/ScheduleDataServlet</xml>) but when I try using a user parameter between the tags (so I will be able to dynamically change the url to this servlet) it bombs.

How to include input user parameter values in XML report output?
How can i include input user parameter values in XML report output. I a have a report which can be run by providing start date and end date. I would like to include value of these parameters in XML output to enable me to figure out dates for report, just by looking at XML output.
Rgds,
manishI think all the XML attributes can contain lexicals. If you bring up the property palette against the report object you can just set the following:
XML Tag Attributes: myParameter="&<P_1>"
where P_1 is your user parameter. -

Hi
Error -50 paramErr - Error in user parameter list
Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ?
Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
• free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
Video codec
• streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
Pictures
• in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
Audio
• from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
Corrupted preference file: The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file - trash it
Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
• Library - at root level
• Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
from Luke Burns
I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

You need more free space on your hard drive.
Where do Your material come from
• Camera
• External hard disk
• USB-memory
And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
from Karsten S
Shorter clips than 1,5 sec might be one of the culptrits
Bengt cont.
Set-Up might differ
• Mac OS - most probably X.7 or more
• iMovie version - more than iM'11 v. 9.0.4
Action taken
• Finalizing project - I never do as I never understood the gain to do so
• Share as HD to iDVD - never give any gain but if it works the resulting DVD is less quality than if SD-quality was shared
fps - set
• I only use PAL (25fps

What is (ParamErr: error in user parameter list)
I get the following error message when I try to send my imovie '11 project to iDvd:
Unable to prepare project for publishing. The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (ParamErr: error in user parameter list)
Anybody know why?There may be more than one cause for this error, but in most cases the project to be published includes short clips of less than about 1.5 seconds duration.
Duplicate the project. From the duplicate, delete the short clips and try to publish. If that doesn't solve the problem, see the post by Didorx in this thread. -
What does "error in user parameter list" mean? how do i fix it?
Can't burn my movies to iDVD because this message keeps showing up "Unable to prepare project for publishing". The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. Error in user parameter list. Please tell me how to fix this.
The first thing I test to do when iMovie doesn't behave as it should is to trash the preference file.
It's a very common way to try to solve problems with Applications that has problems.
Reg iMovie that file is named as one or more of these
com.apple.iMovie.plist
com.apple.iMovie3.plist
com.apple.iMovie7.plist
com.apple.iMovie8.plist
com.apple.iMovie9.plist
com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
Not always all of them are present - but many can be
I also trash
com.apple.iApps.plist
and clean out the Cache folder
All of them are in a folder named Library - BUT as there are more than one - most people chose the wrong one.
The obvious one is Library on Root level - first window that opens when You open Your Start-Up Hard Disk.
AND - that is the wrong one
The one to find is the one in Your User Account folder - and in Mac OS X.7 and so on - it is HIDDEN.
Easiest way to find the correct one is to go up to the top row Menu (Apple symbol to the top Left hand corner of screen) and here go to the right to GO and keep Option-key DOWN and it will Show You the correct Library.
Now - here find the folder Preferences to move out the com.apple.xxxxxx files to the desktop WHEN APPLICATION IS NOT RUNNING ! IMPORTANT !
then find the folder named Caches - here too - try to identify the cache files that are connected to the application - and move them too to desktop.
Now try to run Your application e.g. iMovie
There is an easier way to test if this is the real problem by
• Goto Apple menu and down to System preferences
• Select Accounts
• Click on the Plus sign and create a new user e.g. test1
• Apple menu - and down to Log out
• Now log into the new user test1
• Now see if application runs as intended
If so - then the problem to 99% is in the Pref or Cache files.
