Using a Text Area for a Where In () Clause

Hi Everyone!
It has been awhile since I have done any Oracle ApEx development. This is because I work on the BI team and have been doing more ETL and Teradata development to support MicroStrategy reports.
Having said that, I am attempting to upgrade an existing application with a bit of new functionality. I am trying to allow the user to enter a comma separated list of values (i.e: 12345, 67890, 112233, 44455566) into a text area on one page and have the report on the following page accept that input and use it to filter an interactive report.
I am aware that users can filter an interactive report with the functionality built into the report itself, but some users have requested additional filtering as mentioned above before they actually see the report. My text area is called P10_TXT_ITMS. The code in the SQL for the interactive report is:
AND (ITM_NUM IN :P12_HID_ITMLIST)
When I enter a single number, it works beautifully. Unfortunately, however, entering a comma separated list 'breaks' the report. It says that the value entered into the text area is not a number. To combat this, I tried using to_char() on the column in the table in the comparison. Of course, this also did not work. I would have thought that the variable would have converted into a comma separated list and the where in clause would be totally valid, but it does not seem to behave that way.
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Any help would be very much appreciated!

Hi,
It treats it as one large string. Even with to_char it would be like:
'12345' IN ('12345, 67890, 112233, 44455566'); as opposed to:
'12345' IN ('12345', '67890', '112233', '44455566');
You need to split the string up somehow.
Edit: Possibly with the use of regexp_substr?

On click of lov new jsp page which has only text area for adding comment

hi all ,
please help me to do this task. on click of lov new jsp page should be opend which has only text area for adding comment and upon clicking submit on the jsp page the value entered on the textarea should fall on the text field of lov.
with regards
prabhakaran.p

The only reason I see for such a requirement is "Notes" require more space for entering a detailed note and would be inconvenient to write it in small single-line text input box. But, still in this case, getting the entered text back to the page and displaying it will have the same inconvenience of reading it from that field. And, I still think that removing one amongst the two (text field or image link) would be good, design wise.
Anyway, did u try the following:
1. Add a flow layout to the table bean
2. Add text input and image item to the flow layout.
3. Attach the notes page as the destination uri for the image.
Did u start the working on it, let us know how far did u reach so that we can guide you through from that point.

Can you use a text field for email sender with E-mail button

basically i would like to use input information from the user when someone sends an email instead of the default which is to look for a third party e-mail program like outlook. I want to bypass that and possibly use a text field that has the user input their email. some people don't use outlook so it would be nice to bypass that somehow. Is there a way to send email without the whole outlook thing, like not needing a "sender" and instead require them to input email address. I just want to receive the pdf. I am using LIVECYCLE by the way.

How to create a text area for a blog that scrolls independent of the webpage.

I want to create a boxed area (Middle 2/3 of page) with text in muse that scrolls up and down independently of the webpage itself. I am trying to create a blog posting on the page and the reader can scroll down on the text but the page (background image) stays static. See Shades link for example. This is a retail store using the same function for posting product.

i'm trying to do the same thing, but with a section of images that scrolls independently of the rest of the page. i haven't found any way to achieve this yet, but i will keep looking and update you if i find anything. good luck!

Coursebuilder - 5 text areas for 5 possible scores. Each possible answer has its own text area

I'm trying to build an inventory form that has different
point values for each possible answer for a particular question.
there will be 5 possible answers, and I want to total all of the
"a" choices into "text area A" (all "b" choices to total in "text
area B"...ect.)
I've tried breaking up each question into 5 separate
coursebuilder interactions, using the action manager to sent the
scores into 5 text areas. The interaction always breaks when I
limit to one choice per interaction.
Is this even possible?

}The issue I am facing is that with text area, the scroll bar is visible, which does not go with label. The label is being selected properly, but how to remove the scroll bar?

DVD SP is not Flash or Director and it sounds like you using "hotpots" are thinking more along those lines. If someone puts the DVD in a DVD Player they may get rather frustrated having buttons that do not do anything and the navgation is strange

Forced to use Clear Text Passwords for OD binding

Running a Tiger Server 10.4.11 as OD master with one Replica. When binding clients to server in Directory Access/LDAPv3, If I "disable Clear Text Passwords," the users can not login. Uncheck this option, everything works fine. Non "Clear Text" passwords used to work, stopped about two weeks ago. If I bind to the Replica, I can disable clear text. Not sure where to look to see what broke.

Did your SSL cert expire ?
Any 10.5 clients ? If so, see

Text Area for Powerpoints

Hi,
Is it possible to save texts written in powerpoints with Xcelsius Text Area?
When a user writes text in powerpoint and save it to Enterpise, can the text be seen by other users when they open the powerpoint?
Br,
Sonni

Hi Sonni
This isn't available as standard. The only way of doing this I know of is to use Antivia's WebIntelligence Integration Suite which adds Live Collaboration functionality to Xcelsius dashboards even when exported to Powerpoint or Word etc.

Using Standard Text Variables for FYPERIOD in Report Title ?

Hi,
We have a requirement where the user input the variable 0fiscper to the query (001.2010). How to get the text value of that variable in the query description in the bex query ?
For example user input, 008.2010. We need to get "Aug 2010 Sales values " where Sales values will be the report text. I want to get Aug (month) and year (2010) before the report title. I have searched in google and sdn and could not find any link, but found a doc for the column header text using the same variable. I have tried the same procedure and its just display the zvariable name and Sales value's instead of the label. Please advise.
Thanks
DR

You can create a Text variable with replacement path of Fiscper as reference char. Select Key in details tab of replacing variable.
If you are just getting technical name, then it is understood that it is not getting replaced.

Display text area for printing

Hi,
I know here are many threads about displaying a textarea as read-only. but no solution fits my requirements.
I have a page with many fields among other things 3 textareas. This textareas a normally display as autoheight. for printing this page I have created a new one, where all items are read-only, because of the nasty brackets, if page is displayed in printer-friendly mode.
If my textareas hve more lines then declared for height, they are displayed with a scrollbar. That's not acceptable for me , because I must have printed all the text, not only the one in the scrollable area. In printer-friendly mode, the textarea is automatically set to a height, so that the text is completly shown.
When I print this page, the textareas are set to a width of 17 lines (declared in height: 4 lines), equal if there is 1 line entered or 20. But I like to have shown / printed all entered lines, so if 1 line is entered I like to see / have printed a textarea with 1 line (max 3) and if 20 lines are entered I like to see / have printed a textarea with 20 lines (max 22). How can I do this???
Thanks
chrissy

Chrissy,
There might be a way to get this functionallity through the css and template for 'Printer Friendly'.
However, what I'd do is write a PL/SQL routine to create a HTML page and get all the formatting done the way you like there. I have mine pop up in a new window with the menu bar, so the print option is available if the user wants.
Through PL/SQL you're dealing just with the column data, not also having to deal with the various elements to display the data, such as a textarea. I simply create HTML tables to hold the data, and place the data in the various <td> elements of the table. The table then controls the layout, and multi-line fields get automatically wrapped.

Two separate text areas for typing in two languages on the same page

Dear All,
I am trying to find a way to have two separate typing areas on a single page so that I can write a letter in both French and English. I can easily get two columns, one which follows another, but that is not what I want.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am running Pages '09.
Thanks
Tunaman

What do you want then? Can you describe how you like to position the text?
In word processing document you can use layout breaks and column beaks to get two text columns beside each other.
You can also use text boxes, one for each language. You can even use Shapes as text boxes.

Using edit text control for storing and displaying text of 1000 characters

Hi all,
I have a requirement to provide a field for remark in one of dialog screens, for saving remarks of up to 1000 characters. I made container and edit control and add a field LCHR in database table with preceding INT4 field. Then I use this code to save/read data in/from database table:
CALL METHOD editor->get_textstream
     EXPORTING
       only_when_modified = 0
     IMPORTING
       text               = mytext
     EXCEPTIONS
       OTHERS             = 1.
in user command and:
CALL METHOD editor->set_textstream
     EXPORTING
       text = mytext.
in status.
Then in read I tried to select single LCHR field from that row and put it in mytext TYPE string. In save I save mytext as LCHR field in database table. There is no error anywhere but it doesn't work. Is it even possible to save STRING text in LCHR field of database table?
What is alternative? Text objects from SE75?

Having a string in a database table is absolutely independent on having some trouble in the program. If you got an error saying you need only flat structure, that means you can't use a deep structure in the context.
I suppose you are using the structure on the screen or ALV. You can only use a flat structure there (no strings, no sub-tables...) as you would not be able to render a deep-structured data on the screen. Of course, ABAP could handle that e.g. by ignoring those deep fields, but we would want too much.
