User parameter

Hello all....i've a small problem concerning the selection screen. I have a standard report for which there is a selection screen. There is no specific F4 help written for the fields in the select options and when the user presses F4 only some values present in the underlying table are displayed. Only when the user presses the 'All values' icon all values are displayed.
I want to know if there are any user parameters that can always display all values when F4 is pressed.
Thanks!

you can change tie itab contents of your F4 help... include all the fields that you want to display in the F4 help..
Regards,
Sheetal

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,

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.

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,
manish

I 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.

Bartirn,
I called Apple under my Mac support contract. They were completely unfamiliar with the error you and I were encountering. Updating to 10.8.5 didn't help.
I'm stopping my TimeCapsule while I perform these tasks, but I don't know yet if I have a consistent work-around.

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.

Unable to prepare project for publishing. Error in user parameter list

After editing the project in iMovie '09 I am getting strange problems.
1) If I try to share the project to iDVD I get the Error Message: "Unable to prepare project for publishing. The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (Error in user parameter list)". The same error message I get when trying to "Export Movie".
2) If I play the movie (either in the preview window or in full screen), I hear the audio, but the video remains on the picture, I was, when I start playing. This wasn't the case until yesterday. I don't know, what has changed this.
I am not sure, if both problems are connected.
If I try to play a clip, everything still works well, means audio and video are playing as expected.
Any ideas, what I could try to solve this (I already tried to restart iMovie, checked that I have the newest version 8.0.1 (740) and tried to restart my iMac?
Leela

I'm having the same problem, though it wasn't triggered by me importing anything. I had an almost complete project that I was just editing down and tightening up. I was making some deletions and moving some clips around when the project just went all wonky. If I hit the space bar the video will play. Audio, video and titles are all as they should be. But the editing window is frozen. The raw clips have disappeared from the upper left. When I restart the app the editing window is sometimes blank. But if I drag another application across the screen (like Mail or iTunes) the clips regenerate in the viewer window. This is a HUGE disappointment for me. After wasting an hour trying to solve this I now have to start completely from scratch with this project.
