What is the data type of the value returned by the List box prompt in crystal

Post Author: Mudit Kothiyal
CA Forum: Formula
Hi all,
I am creating a report which has a list box prompt. When I am selecting a single value from the list box the report is working fine, but when I am selecting multiple values its not returning any data( although data is there). Does anyone know how the prompt values are passed to the report query by the crystal. I kno it passes the value to the report as an array. But how does it pass the value to the report query.
I am using command query to fetch data from the DB.
Crystal Report Version: Crystal Report XI R2.
DB: Oracle 10g
Also does anyone know how to pass the values of the list box prompt to the report query in comma seperated format.
Thanks & regards,
Mudit

In regards to the latter part of your question
The following examples are applicable to Basic and Crystal syntax.
The examples assume that list is a String array consisting of the 3 elements: "Chocolate", "Vanilla" and "Strawberry".
Join (list)
Returns the String "Chocolate Vanilla Strawberry".
Join (list, "***")
Returns the String "Chocolate**Vanilla**Strawberry".
Not sure about the first part of your question,sorry.

Can we change the data type of a field based on the value of the field

HI Gurus,
My Requirement is as below -- Could you please guide me
in the Printable Adobe form -- for ex - as usual for dates fields in the Object Pallette the object type is a date/time field and for quantity/currency fields corresponding fields are taken
now in case the either the date, quantity or currency is initial in place of displaying 0.00 or empty date we need to display N/A (Not Applicable)
for this I would like to change the data type of the field
to put it simply --
we need to change the data type of date field from DATE&TIME to Char type to hold N/A or Quantity field to Char field to hold N/A
how can we realize this in SAP adobe forms
Thanks in Advace

Hello Ramchander,
     You cannot change the data type of the field at run time in Adobe forms because the type of field you choose at the time of design level is associated with the data type itself.
If you want to achieve your requirement, then your main idea should be to set the data type as CHARACTER itself while designing the field in the adobe form itself. CHAR field will comfortably hold the value of Calculation/amount field, Currency field, Amount, Date, Time HHMMSS, Unit Accuracy, Currency key, Floating point number, Numeric text, Client, Language and many other data types.
After designing the field as TEXT field in Adobe form you have two options.
Option 1:
Select the Date field initially as type TEXT field or CHAR field in Adobe forms.
Suppose the name of the field is TEXTFIELD1, then write the Javascript code on this field in Initialize event as below.
if ( this.rawvalue == null )
     this.rawvalue = "N/A";
If the field is not blank, then it will show the date. Else it will show "N/A".
Option 2:
Select the Date field initially as type TEXT field or CHAR field in Adobe forms. Do the formatting part in ABAP itself. It will increase the performance. Avoid Javascript as much as possible.
Suppose you have a DATE variable l_dats of type DATS. Then take another variable l_date of type CHAR. Then write the below ABAP code.
MOVE l_dats TO l_date.
IF l_date IS INITIAL.
     l_date = 'N/A'.
ENDIF.
Bind the l_date to the TEXT field in the form.
Even in this case, if the field is not blank, then it will show the date. Else it will show "N/A".
But I will suggest you to use Option 2 of keeping the AMOUNT, QUANTITY, DATE, TIME fields etc as CHAR or TEXT fields in Adobe form and do the required formatting in ABAP itself.

What the data type of this variant? (in the following)

What's the datatype of the following variant (use probe and indicator):
value -> 1356.00
I want to tranfer it to numerical data. When I tranfer it using "variant to data" function (the datatype used is string or numerical), An error occured:
ERROR 91 occured at Variant to Data. The data type is not compatible with the data type wired to the type input."
Thank you very much!

You can investigate any Variant by using the 'Variant Probe' for download from LAVA.
It will tell you what the actual contents of the Variant were.

Change the Data Type of a Standard Required Field

Hello Experts,
Need to know if is it possible to change the data type of a standard field. The field is marked as a required field.
For example: If a standard field is an Object Picker and I would like to change it to a string field. Is it possible? How can I do it?!
Many thanks,
Igor Nakamura

Hi Igor,
Since you cannot hide a required field, what you can do is move the standard required field to someplace less noticable (like the bottom of the page) and then use a validation script to set it to some benign value.

Issue with the Data Type 'Number' in Business Objects

Hi,
I have an Object in the Universe where the Data Type of the Object is a number. This Column pertaining to this Object has certain values in the database out of which there is a 17 Digit Value which is 00000000031101165.
Now, when trying to retreive the same value through Business Objects it is getting rounded off to 00000000031101200 automatically when trying to view in Webi and when trying to retreive the same in Designer/Deski, it displays as 0.000000003110116E+16.
So, I would like to know if there is any other alternative in trying to retreive the Original Value that would not round off. Also, do we have any Limitation for the Data Type Number in Business Objects? The Version we are on is XI3.1.
Note: There are no functions that are used on this Object at the Universe Level and would not like to use any functions here.

What is the underlying database?
It looks like the data is considered to have two decimals, but is rounded to zero decimals.
Only you don't see the number formatting.
Is this a BW query?
Is this a calculated keyfigure?
In the query you can specify the rounding you want and it is also possible to specify it on an infoobject level.
Check those settings...
Hope this helps,
Marianne
PS. Oh, and about the formatting, you can specify a default object format in the universe and override it on the final client (WebI, Crystal)

What kind of data types in Web Dynpro can be bound to Interactive Form?

Hello
Apparently it is not possible to bind a Web Dynpro Context variable of type boolean to a checkbox in an interactive form. We get the PDF Document Render Exception until the data type is changed to string, then the generation seems to work. Does anyone know what data types in Web Dynpro other than String can be bound to an Interactive Form Document? Is there any information about this in help.sap.com/adobeforums.com/elsewhere? I have researched a bit, but couldn't get a general statement on this topic.
Thank you for your help!
Kind regards
Bettina Hepp

Hi,
You can Bind the Boolean type of webdynpro to the CheckBox in Adobe Interactive Form.
Just define the value Attribute in the Context of type Boolean and bind the Checkbox in Aif with this attribute.
Sample Code:
if (wdContext.currentContextelement.reason == true)
ur validations.....

Errors in the back-end database access module. OLE DB was unable to convert a value to the data type requested for column 5

Hi All,
I'm still struggling with the same cube and this is my 3rd post and once i fix some thing the other breaks. Please forgive me. When i process my cube i'm getting the error:
Errors in the back-end database access module. OLE DB was unable to convert a value to the data type requested for column 5.
My question is when the error says column 5 (is it the column 5 in the DSV?) or is it the column 5 in the DIMENSION list?
My next question is the DSV Query works perfectly fine , so why this error in cube? This is what i have in the query in DSV.
Please need help. In the below query both the column 5 (ArEASSIGNED TO VENDOR) in the CUBE and underlying table have the same data type and length VARCHAR(4000). Why is the process failing still?

I just counted the columns from the top:
1) compliancejoin, 2) mowingsector, 3) caseclosedflag, 4) casehasvendorinfo, 5) mowingstatus, 6) assignedtovendor.
I see now that your subject line talks about column 6, but you say column 5 in body of your original post.
I don't know anything about cubes, but apparently there is some mapping problem when you run it from SSAS. (I assume it is SSAS, a part of the product I'm entirely ignorant of.) I figured that if you had got tripped by the zero-based numbering, you
might be staring on the wrong column.

Errors in the back-end database access module. OLE DB was unable to convert a value to the data type requested for column 6.

Hi All,
I'm still struggling with the same cube and this is my 3rd post and once i fix some thing the other breaks. Please forgive me. When i process my cube i'm getting the error:
Errors in the back-end database access module. OLE DB was unable to convert a value to the data type requested for column 5.
My question is when the error says column 5 (is it the column 5 in the DSV?) or is it the column 5 in the DIMENSION list?
My next question is the DSV Query works perfectly fine , so why this error in cube? This is what i have in the query in DSV.
Please need help. In the below query both the column 5 (ArEASSIGNED TO VENDOR) in the CUBE and underlying table have the same data type and length VARCHAR(4000). Why is the process failing still?

I just counted the columns from the top:
1) compliancejoin, 2) mowingsector, 3) caseclosedflag, 4) casehasvendorinfo, 5) mowingstatus, 6) assignedtovendor.
I see now that your subject line talks about column 6, but you say column 5 in body of your original post.
I don't know anything about cubes, but apparently there is some mapping problem when you run it from SSAS. (I assume it is SSAS, a part of the product I'm entirely ignorant of.) I figured that if you had got tripped by the zero-based numbering, you
might be staring on the wrong column.

What should be the data type for a field in ztable?

i am desing a ztable , wht should be the datatype for a field if i want to enter values like -1.5 and -2.5 , negative values with decimals what should be the data type???

declare as P type. TYPE P DECIMALS 1
Type P data allows digits after the decimal point. The number of decimal places is generic, and is determined in the program. The value range of type P data depends on its size and the number of digits after the decimal point. The valid size can be any value from 1 to 16 bytes. Two decimal digits are packed into one byte, while the last byte contains one digit and the sign. Up to 14 digits are allowed after the decimal point. The initial value is zero. When working with type P data, it is a good idea to set the program attribute Fixed point arithmetic.Otherwise, type P numbers are treated as integers.
You can use type P data for such values as distances, weights, amounts of money, and so on.

What is the data type for the Data Dashboard XY Graph?

Hey all,
I am playing with the new Data Dashboard (!!) on my iPad 2 and am having trouble setting up the shared variables that host data to the XY Graph.
On my PC, in my Project (inside of a variable library) I have set up shared variables for all of the other controls/indicators available in the app; They all work great. However, I have not been able to identify the data type that is for the XY Graph in Data Dashboard. Of course, inside LabVIEW, I use a cluster of 2 arrays; this is not an available data type that I can select while creating a new variable on the hosting side. I have even gone so far as to create a custom control from my XYGraph in LabVIEW and then creating the data type "From Custom Control..." with no success.
What gives? Am I missing something obvious? Thanks for the help!!
Tom
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Great question, Aerogoob.
The XY graph can be bound to a 1d array of "points", where each point is a cluster of two numerics (X and Y). To create a shared variable of this type, you can set the data type to "From Custom Control..." in the shared variable properties dialog. Of course, first you'll have to build the custom control of the correct type: array of cluster of two numerics.
If any of that doesn't make sense, please post back and we can walk you through it in more detail.
Also, just for completeness, the chart indicator can be bound to a scalar numeric or to an array of numerics. The graph indicator can only be bound to an array of numerics.

What's the data type when defining a KF to show an integer with a sign?

We want show some days difference which should be an integer with either a positive or negative sign. I used to design a KF with type of Number with "DEC - Counter or amount field with comma and sign" as the Data Type, but find it shows 25.000 if the day difference is 25 days. We want to show it as 25 other than 25.000. Then what type would we pick when defining the KF? Use Integer as the type? But we also want it to show the sign symbol.
The type field is dimmed as long as the InfoObj. is activated that I have to remove this field. I've delete all the data loaded in ODS, PSA and etc., and I have successfully remove this KF from InfoSource, but when I try to remove it from the ODS, always get the msg "Can't move/delete locked InfoObjects" even if the InfoObject is not locked (I've tried SM12 to delete all locked entries and also tried relog on, but not helpful). If someone gives any idea, I would be very appreciated on how to remove this KF from ODS and also let me what type should I use when creating a new KF which only shows integer with a sign!
Thanks

hey Siggi,
Now after I right click the ODS and select "Delete Data", the KF eventually gets removed from the ODS without any error, then I continue to delete this InfoObj.
However, when I run the InfoPackage to load data to the ODS, get a msg (see below in between two dashed lines):
Syntax error in GP_ERR_RSDRO_UPDATE, row 1,210 (-> long text)
Message no. RG102
Diagnosis
The data object "I_S_OLDDATA" does not have a component called "/BIC/Z_field".
Where Z_field is the InfoObject we deleted. With this error, that's even worse since that stops any data coming in! How to get rid of this error that we can continue to load data?
Thanks

Any idea what this errorr means? the data type of the reference does not match the data type of the variable

I am using Veristand 2014, Scan Engine and EtherCat Custom Device. I have not had this error before, but I was trying to deploy my System Definition File (run) to the Target (cRio 9024 with 6 modules) and it failed. It wouldn't even try to communicate with the target. I get the 'connection refused' error.
I created a new Veristand project
I added the Scan Engine and EtherCat custom device.
I changed the IP address and auto-detected my modules
i noticed tat Veristand didn't find one of my modules that was there earlier. (this week)
So, i went to NiMax to make sure software was installed and even reinstalled Scan Engine and Veristand just to make sure.
Now, it finds the module, but when i go to deploy it getsto the last step of deploying the code to the target, and then it fails.
Any thoughts?

Can you deploy if you only have the two 9401 modules in the chassis (no other modules) and in the sysdef? I meant to ask if you could attach your system definition file to the forum post so we can see it as well (sorry for the confusion).
Are you using any of the specialty configurations for the 9401 modules? (ex: counter, PWM, quadrature, etc)
You will probably want to post this on the support page for the Scan Engine/EtherCAT Custom Device: https://decibel.ni.com/content/thread/8671
Custom devices aren't officially supported by NI, so technical questions and issues are handled on the above page.

What will be data type for the newly created Service Interface def.?

hi @,
I am using new Service interface for the start event with objective that any outside application will be able to trigger the BPM. I have created the same SI and its operation and Input params. Now when the request comes there is an exclusive choice gateway which based upon the input fields decide which path to take into consideration. Now I need to map the SI input to the Data object but which data type I need to use ideally it should be the data type defined in the Service Interface should be used but I am not able to locate the same in the data type folder .
How can I map the input service interface data type to the Data object so that it is available in the next BPM steps?
Thanks,

Hi,
Typically the used types in a new service interface are anonymous. Try making the used complex type a global one (Right-Click onto it -> Refactor -> Make Anonymous Type Global).
Afterwards you could use the speed button around your your 'start event' and create a new 'data object' from there. Now the IDE automatically assigns the type of the service interface to your 'data object' and performs the standard mapping between the 'start event' and the 'data object' in addition.
Please also have a look at the documentation for further information:

How To... Change the Data Type for a SELECT-OPTIONS at run time.

Hello,
I am trying to restrict the values available for entry into a SELECT-OPTIONS at run time depending on user input.
The logic is as follows. The user has two input fields. A PARAMETER field which has the type RSDIOBJNM and allows them to choose an InfoObject. And the user has a SELECT-OPTIONS field to allow them to select the Characteristic values for that InfoObject.
I would like the following example to be possible:
The user enters 0MATERIAL into the PARAMETER. When the user clicks on the SELECT-OPTIONS control code will derive a list of possible options the user can enter in the SELECT-OPTIONS. In this case only values found in the master data or at least no values greater than 18 characters.
I have looked at the following function module SELECT_OPTIONS_RESTRICT and this do not appear to be helpful as they only restrict on the signs allowed for the values (unless I misunderstand, it is a complex function module!).
The code I have so far is (thus the user enters a InfoObject into p_char1 and the select options so_char1 should only accept active values of that InfoObject):
declaration of variables for user interface
DATA c_char(32) TYPE c.
declaration of count variable
DATA i_count TYPE i.
declaration of user interface
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK a1 WITH FRAME TITLE text-001.
    PARAMETERS: p_ipack TYPE RSLOGDPID.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK a1.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK b1 WITH FRAME TITLE text-002.
    PARAMETERS: p_char1 TYPE RSDIOBJNM.
    SELECT-OPTIONS: so_char1 for c_char NO INTERVALS.
    PARAMETERS: p_char2 TYPE RSDIOBJNM.
    SELECT-OPTIONS: so_char2 for c_char NO INTERVALS.
    PARAMETERS: p_char3 TYPE RSDIOBJNM.
    SELECT-OPTIONS: so_char3 for c_char NO INTERVALS.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK b1.
Is what I am trying to do possible???
Thanks for any help. Ross.

You really want to restrict possible values of a select-option based on another field, not change the length of type of the select-option field, right?
Here is what you do: Code a custom F4 value help for the select-option at event AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE REQUEST FOR.. The first thing you do here is read the value of the parameter field (p_ipack in your example). You can use function module DYNP_VALUES_READ. Based on this value, you can propose values for the select-option fields. Note that the use can still enter whatever s(he) wishes in to the select-option field without pressing F4. In this case, you will have to code some input validations taking into account the value in the p_ipack field.

Can I modify the data type of a dynamic parameter?

I am using CR2008 against an Oracle 11 db and have a report with dynamic parameters.
One of the report sources is a custom view that selects all of the possible 'pay ending dates' where one of the fields from this view is used as the source for the dynamic parameter.
The view performs a TRUNC on the date field in an effort to eliminate the TIME component.
The problem is that the parameter definintion defaults to DATE/TIME (vs. just DATE). I'm wondering if there is any way to modify the data type of the parameter to be DATE only.
I've searched several forumns but have not found anything.
One solution I can think of is to have the custom view format the date field as a VARCHAR (sans the time component) which I assume would force the dynamic parameter data type to string, and then have the report perform a todate function on the value when applying the criteria.
Anyone else have an idea? Just seems like CR should allow the developer to specify the data type- especially b/w Date and Date/Time, rather than make an assumption.
Thank you in advance-
emaher

emaher,
Here's what you can do:
Leave the existing date column as it is in the view...
Just add another column to the view that casts the the date as a VarChar data type and formats the date as you would like it to be.
So now you'll have 2 date columns in the view... 1 that's still a date and another that a character string.
Now for your parameter, use the date version as the parameter value and the text version as the parameter description.
Be sure to set the "Prompt with description only" is set to true.
This way the user sees the LoV in the desired format but there's not need to wrangle it back into a date for data selection.
HTH,
Jason
