When Parameter field is blank

Hi,
I am writing a report in Oracle 6i and window 98.
I have a parameter that allows me enter the customer's name and get the data associated with this name.
Is there any way that I can do:
1)if I enter a specific customer's name, I can get the data only about this customer;
20if I leave the parameter blank, I can get ALL customers' data.
Thanks,
Jun

hi jun,
you can do it this way also
in sql query you write a where condition as follows
WHERE TABLENAME.CUSTNAME LIKE NVL(UPPER(CUSTOMERNAME),'%')
CUSTOMERNAME is your user parameter name.
this works fine for your problem.
Hope this is useful for you.

Working of SELECT MIN when data field is blank

Hi expert,
I'd like use the SELECT MIN instruction to take the older data (yyyy/mm/dd).
If by accident I have a Data value = blank, the SELECT MIN does will take it?
I should be sure that the SELECT MIN does not take an initial value.
Thanks for your support.
Claudia

Hello Claudia,
As per my understanding, If a date field has an initial value then by default it will have a value '00/00/0000'. In order to avoid the initial values you can put in where clause 'field is not initial'
Hope this helps.

ODS Key Fields allows blank values in Transformation

Dear Experts,
I have two layers:
1. Datawarehouse layer (purpose is to represent exactly data at the backend)
2. Consolidation Layer
Scenario 1:
In Datawarehouse layer, the fiscal variant is a key field in ODS and I have two other key fields i.e. combine to form a composite key.
When I load the data from PSA to this ODS, I have a record which contains blank value for the fiscal variant. It successfully loads into the Datawarehouse ODS.
Sceanrio 2:
In the consolidation layer, i have 4 key fields out of which fiscal variant is one of them. Now when I load the data from the datawarehouse ods to consolidated ods, it throws an error saying:
Diagnosis
     An exception fiscvarnt_missing was raised while executin
     module RST_TOBJ_TO_DERIVED_TOBJ .
System Response
     Processing the corresponding record has been terminated.
The transformation mapping for the fiscal varaint in both sceanarios is 1:1 mapping with the rule type 'Time Characteristic'.
My questions is:
1. Why different behaviour during scenario 1 and sceanario 2
2. Solution to the above issue
Thanks
Jain

Thanks J.S.
Yes the format selected in the field for the datasource is 'Internal'.
When loading the data from R3>PSA>ODSX(Datawarehouse Layer), I have no problems even when the field is blank.
When loading from ODSX-->ODSY(Consolidated Layer) the empty (blank) field for that records throws error.
Any ideas?

when the form is opened on a computer the contractor can view the fields we have completed, however when viewing from a mobile device or cell phone those fields appear blank. Any suggestions? I am at a total loss as it works when viewing from the computer. I am assuming it is a setting or maybe we need to save it a special way?

What version of Reader are they using, exactly? And are you sure they're
using Reader itself and not opening the file inside a browser window, for

Show LOV only when field is blank

Hi all,
My environs:
Oracle 10g on Windows
Forms [32 Bit] Version 9.0.4.1.0 (Production)
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.5.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options
Oracle Toolkit Version 9.0.4.1.0 (Production)
PL/SQL Version 9.0.1.5.1 (Production)
My problem:
I have a field in a block, that is text_item and is tied to a LOV item. I want the LOV to show up automatically, each time I tab into it, only when the item is BLANK (say when I am trying to insert into the block). When on query, it should only display the queried value into the field, and user can choose to activate the LOV, by pressing F9, if she wants to. It now displays automatically each time text item is in focus (works fine when user is inserting, but annoying when she has queried the form, and trying to tab thru. Each time she focuses on the field, LOV is popping up!)
The current property setting on the text field item: Type: Text Item
List of Values : MY_LOV_NAME
Validate from List : Yes
Properties on MY_LOV_NAME
Automatic Display: Yes
Any suggestions? Or Item level trigger i can use, and if so, when build_in can I use?
New to forms and will greatly appreciate advice from pros!!
Thanks
Libran_girl

It is very simply,
IN When-new-item-Instance
DECLARE
V_LOV BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
IF :ITEM_NAME IS NULL
THEN
V_LOV = SHOW_LOV(LOV_NAME);
END IF;
END;
give it a try, you will get your result, if it doesn't work then try :block_name.item_name

How Do You Change A Numeric Field To Blank When Zero?

I'm using Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional, version 6.0.6.
Can anyone help me with the code to change a numeric field to blank, when "0.00"?

"no success" does not provide much to go on.
With your scripts, I get the concatenation of the sting values, so one has to force JavaScript to convert strings to numbers.
Make sure your field names are exact including case.
Make sure the calculation order is correct.
The following scripts all work:
var fa = 1 * this.getField("FeeN01").value;
var fb = 1 * this.getField("FeeN02").value;
var fc = 1 * this.getField("FeeN03").value;
event.value = fa + fb + fc;
if ((event.value == 0)) {
event.value = ""
// or
var fa = this.getField("FeeN01").value / 1;
var fb = this.getField("FeeN02").value / 1;
var fc = this.getField("FeeN03").value / 1;
event.value = fa + fb + fc;
if ((event.value == 0)) {
event.value = ""
// or
var fa = Number(this.getField("FeeN01").value);
var fb = Number(this.getField("FeeN02").value);
var fc = Number(this.getField("FeeN03").value);
event.value = fa + fb + fc;
if ((event.value == 0)) {
event.value = ""
The "sum of" also works with the "Custom validation script" of:
if (event.value == 0) event.value = "";

Is it normal that the DataSource field is blank when opening a master data

Is it normal that the DataSource field is blank when opening a master data which is also an InfoSouce in InfoSource page.
Just locate an InfoSource which is also a master data or data target where next to which is a green triangle picture icon in InfoSource page, open it, the top part (Commnication Structure) is automatically expended. Expend the lower part "Transfer_Structure/Transfer_Rules", find the DataSource field is blank. This only occurs for an InfoSource which is also a master data which have more than two data loads (e.g., one is attibute, and the other is text load) or there are two InfoPackage loads for this master data. We checked for master data with only one InfoPackage under it (e.g., only text load) and find it's OK that the datasource field is not blank when expending the lower section.
Thanks

Kevin
It's not common. If you have three Data Sources like attributes, texts and hierarchy by default attribute data source will appear on the screen and for the rest of the things we need to do dropdown and select. This is how in general it appears.

ICloud asked me to reenter my password to get mail and when I did, it rejected my password. I'm trying to reenter in my account information, but it won't let me because the incoming mail server field is blank, but it won't allow me to enter anything.

iCloud asked me to reenter my password to get mail and when I did, it rejected my password. I'm trying to reenter in mail account information, but it won't let me because the incoming mail server field is blank, but I can't enter anything into that field.

No, didn't have to sign out. As I started to, got a messge saying something about losing all my calendar information, which unnerved me so I didn't sign out. It was correcting the password in another email account that corrected the situation for me.

HT204023 Hi, I'm Puthyrath. I have a problem on my iPad 4 wifi-3G about personal hotspot. I entered apn, username and password correctly, but when I leave this page, it didn't save, all fields become blank. Can anyone help me?

Hi, I'm Puthyrath. I have a problem on my iPad 4 wifi-3G about personal hotspot. I entered apn, username and password correctly, but when I leave this page, it didn't save, all fields become blank. Can anyone help me?

Update to above question:
Hello All,
To anyone with the same problem described above, on THEIR iPad (if it is running iOS 7.0.2):
Go to Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; DELETE your *******@btinternet.com e-mail account, that you originally set up either using 'Other', or the 'BT' option which I am sure was in the list previous to the iOS 7 update.
Then ADD a NEW account choosing YAHOO from the list of options. DO NOT USE 'OTHER'.
Enter the correct details just as you (almost certainly) had already done in your previous attempts using 'other'.
When you see the 'verifying......' and 'the blue ticks' you should be able to exit settings and open your mail app and then receive all your 'old' e-mails again, AND be able to SEND as well.
All my 'old' e-mails, were NOT found in the 'old e-mail' folder though. THEY are still in my inbox.
So this fix worked for me.
After I deleted my account from 'OTHER' and put it in Yahoo, I like other people also ended up with more folders.
I hope this works for you on YOUR Apple devices.

Value to be assigned to a parameter field (web report parameter form)

In a Oracle 10g report In parameter form we have DESTYPE and DESNAME. In database we have PRINTERNAME. we are using run_product to open the report. Now we are in the url
http://192.168.178.29:7779/reports/rwservlet/getjobid2214?server=rep_inexpas02_OracleFRSR2
Parameter form:
When we change the value of DESTYPE to Printer I want assign printername in DESNAME field. Other wise DESNAME should be blank. Is there any trigger like when change field of DESTYPE in parameter form (web) assign some value to DESNAME. (AFTER PARAMETER FORM AND BEFORE REPORT ARE NOT SOLVING THE PURPOSE)

Is it correct taht you use forms to invoke the report? If so, a possible solution is to "create" your own parameter-form in forms itself, where you can do such validations and logic as you need. Then run the report without parameter-form.

How to make Parameter field not mandatory while running CFL through SAP B1

Hi Experts.......
I have a small doubt if anybody can help me.......
I have created a simple report for testing purpose by taking table OITM and it is diplayng CFL symbol in B1 scressn when I import. Upto this it is working fine and showing correct input.
Now I made some changes according to my logic is that When I select any value in condition parameter say any Item Group it shows me output for that particular ItemGroup. And when I select nothing in Parameter then it is displaying all data from all the group and this si what I want. But when I import the same CR in SAP and running same report it is not allwoing me to paas Null value so that I can get all the data as output.
This is giving right result if I dirctly run CR by refreshinh Parameter but same thing I run from SAP and put the parameter field blank it is giving me error that Parameter (ItemGroup) is mandatory
Can anybody assist me how to solve this?
Thanks & Regards,
Rahul Moundekar

Hi
I had the same issue. As noted by Julie SAP published a workaround.
See my original thread post below. Go straight to the last entry.
Crystal in B1 8.8 - optional parameters not working
The problem is that when called from B1 the hasvalue command always returns true, hence the checking for nulls and spaces etc. as well.
You keep the parameter definition as Optional.
This works find for character fields, both single select and ranges, and I have gotten around it for numerics etc by using a SQL formula to cast these to character fields in the data being queried.
I have yet to be motivated enough to see how to code around this for multi valued fields.
Hope this helps.

Using parameter fields gives an error in InfoView asking for prompting1.htm

Hi,
We have a number of Crystal Reports available to staff online via InfoView. The majority of these reports work fine. However, where the report uses a parameter field and allows the user to select certain criteria an error box appears looking for a html page called prompting1. It is looking for the html page in the CrystalReportViewer folder within the Temp folder. Having looked in the folder there is no such html page. I have created a blank prompting1.html but then the when the report is refreshed, it prompts for prompting2.html. When run using the client software the report runs as it should with no error message.Has anyone else come accross a similar problem?
Thanks in advance

Report using Parameter Field

Hi,
I have designed one report using Parameter Field which is Cost Code (string).
When I run my report, I ask to enter cost code. When I enter cost code 30, I get report for all transaction of cost code 30 and 300.
How could I avoid this problem.
Thanks
Mithani

Try with this
{Project_cost.EXPENSES_Code} IN {?Cost Code}
and also
Check the query formed after giving the input parameter. Goto Database --> Show Sql Query.
