Working on Pre-query
Hi Gurus,
While using a pre-query,can data of more than one field be passed from control-query to display-query?
How can we do that?
Thanks in advance
Walker
A prequery is usually used to send back filter values to another query based on comples selection conditions - I am not sure if a prequery can return multiple fields - even if it did - the replacement path variable is attached to a characteristic and in that case only the relevant characteristic should get passed on.

Pre-Query - Modifying the default_where
Hi,
I'm trying to get the value of the default_where clause to modify it (with set_block_property) after the user has entered the ENTER QUERY MODE and decides to RUN QUERY. I'm creating a Pre-Query event for the module component where the search criteria are entered, but it doesn't seem to work; the where_clause (l_old_where) I retrieve is always empty. My code to retrieve the default_where is:
BEGIN
DECLARE
l_block VARCHAR2(32) := name_in('system.trigger_block');
l_old_where VARCHAR2(2000);
BEGIN
l_old_where := get_block_property(l_block, default_where);
message('l_old_where =' || l_old_where); --unfortunately this message always returns an empty value
EXCEPTION
WHEN VALUE_ERROR THEN
qms$forms_errors.push(QMS$FORMS_ERRORS.MSGGETTEXT(33, 'Query criteria too complex - simplify and re-query'), 'E', 'OFG', 33);
qms$forms_errors.raise_failure;
END;
END;
Does anybody know what I am doing wrong? Do you have a better way to retrieve the default_where value?
Thanks,
Denis.Denis,
The DEFAULT_WHERE is part of all queries. It is set either in the property palette at design time, or programatically at runtime. If a user does an enter query and specifies some criteria, that criteria is appended to the DEFAULT_WHERE. Thus, interrogating the DEFAULT_WHERE won't help you in this case.
There is no "nice" way to do this. You have about three triggers you can choose from, that get fired after the users has entered their criteria, but before the query is executed. One is PRE-QUERY, and I forget the other two. One of them is SET-QUERY or something like that.
What you do is interrogate the fields themselves. For example, if you have two fields: NAME and SALARY, and the user entered the criteria "A%" and ">5000", then it's up to you to examine those fields to see what the user typed. Then you can do with them what you will.
So you don't get the SQL that Forms generates, but you do get the same info that Forms uses to generate the SQL.
There is also a gotcha to look out for. When referring to fields in a block that are active during enter-query mode, use the NAME_IN builtin. For example, the SALARY field is of type number, but the criteria is ">5000". That ">" is not acceptable (normally) to a NUMBER field, so you will get errors if you do something like "message('Salary criteria: '||:block.salary);"
I hope this helps.

Pre query , post query where date = mon-yyyy
I have a tabular block B2 with many records
this block items are vouhcerno, voucherdate. voucherno number(6) and voucherdate date.
when new form instance i execute query it shows me all the records working fine.
I add one list item here when new form instance this list item got record like
Jan-2009
Feb-2009
Mar-2009
so on...
I want that when i select Jan-2009 from list item and press button
block B2 only show my January 2009 records.
I tried to this in pre query and also post query trigger but not successful.
Kindly guide me .Arun really tnx, you are helping me.
I m sorry Your this code also not working.
i want to add one more condition in this code
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('b2',DEFAULT_WHERE, 'to_char(voucherdate,''fmmon-fmYyyy'')= ''' || Lower(:vdate ) || '''' );
And :vtype = "PV'
{code}
I m using this
{code}
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('b2',DEFAULT_WHERE, 'to_char(voucherdate,''fmmon-fmYyyy'')= ''' || Lower(:vdate ) || 'and :B2.vtype = PV'|| '''' );
{code}
but Not return query. -
I have a Form that has 4 cascading List Item after you make a chose on the Bpost_Tag (4th) you press the Button Execute Query. On the Data Block I have PRE-QUERY as shown below! What I’m trying to get in return is if you chose Bpost_Tag 100 you will get all Bpost_Tags 100 and greater on the Form. Right now all I’m getting in return is one Bpost_Tag of 100.

PMISCURR

..........COUNTY
..........BPOST_TAG
PMISCURR1
..........SYSTEM_1
..........ROUTE_1
..........COUNTY_1

I moved the PRE-QUERY as is to PMISCURR1 still got all the values from the Database Table/PMISCURR_BPOST_TAG. I changed the SQL to point to PMISCURR1 and got the same results. I’m just having hard understanding what is wrong. I have asked several coworkers to take a look at it and all they say is it should work my guess is they don’t know either!
Changed POST-QUERY on PMISCURR!

Can't make simple 'IF' statement work in MS Query!?
I have read the existing threads on the subject but can't seem to make a simple 'IF' statement work in MS Query with a single table. I always get the following error:
Returns error message:
"Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'if'
Incorrect syntax near ','.
Statement(s) could not be prepared.
Here's my query (simplified, but not much):
select *
from table t
where t.modifieddate > if(t.active=0, date1, date2)
Just to see if I could get AN if statement to work, I've also tried:
SELECT t.active, if(t.active=0,2,3)
FROM CdmsTimeSheet.dbo.Registrations t
And
SELECT t.active, if(t.active='0','2','3')
FROM CdmsTimeSheet.dbo.Registrations t
And

and
SELECT t.active,

where datemodified>if(t.active='0',#3/1/2014#,#1/1/2014#)
I've been using excel/ms query for many years but not in the last year or two and am wondering if this was somehow removed? I tried using decode but then get a "not built-in function" error.
Please help! ThanksNot sure what kind of database you are using. In SQL Server, you should use 'Case when' Statement Or 'IIF' function instead of if.
e.g.
select
top (10) BusinessEntityID,iif( BusinessEntityID=1 , 'true' , 'false') as test
from HumanResources.Employee
order by BusinessEntityID

Why is the GROUP BY clause not working in my Query?
Dear All,
Below is the Query for a Summary Debtors Aged Analysis.
The GROUP BY clause does not seem to be working.
The Query returns all the unpaid invoices, instead of a single total row for each Customer.
If a Customer X has 10 unpaid invoices, 10 rows are displayed - one for each invoice.
I was expecting only 1 row for Customer X, 1 for Customer Y, etc.
This is what GROUP BY is supposed to do, but it is not doing its work.
What has gone wrong?
Thanks

This Query is a modification of the Query you posted in SAP B1 SQL TIPS & TRICKS
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/B1/SAPB1SQLB-FNDebtorsAgingReportbydate
So, maybe instead of referring to my Query, let's refer to yours. It may be easier for you to understand me.
Once I understand the problem, I can adapt your query to suit my requirements
So, let's start with a clean slate:
The Query you have posted is for a DETAILED Debtors Aging Report.
This lists all outstanding invoices, and ages them in the Age Brackets.
What I want is a SUMMARY Debtors Aging Report.
This will give the total amount owed by each Customer, and this amount is broken down in the Age Bracket Columns
There will be a single row listed for each customer, something like this:
Customer Total Due Current 1 Mth 2 Mth 3 Mth etc
Alfred 500,000 300,000 200,000
Charles 800,000 100,000 300,000 400,000
How can you modify your query to make it become a Summary Report (1 line for each customer even if he has many invoices)?
Thanks

LIKE operator is not working in SQL Query in XML file
Hi Gurus,
LIKE operator is not working in SQL query in XML template.
I am creating a PDF report in ADF using Jdeveloper10g. The XML template is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="WINDOWS-1252" ?>
<dataTemplate name="catalogDataTemplate" description="Magazine
Catalog" defaultPackage="" Version="1.0">

if i pass the parameter value of :ename from UI, it doesn't filter. But if I give ename = :ename it retrieves the data. Can anyone help me why LIKE operator doesn't work here?
Appreciate your help,

email: [email protected]Hi
Well for a start, you are doing some very strange conversions there. For example...
and to_char(a.msd, 'MM/DD/YYYY') != '11/11/2030'
and to_char(a.msd, 'MM/DD/YYYY') != '10/10/2030'If a.msd is a date then you should e converting on the other side ie.
and a.msd != TO_DATE('11/11/2030', 'MM/DD/YYYY')
and a.msd != TO_DATE('10/10/2030', 'MM/DD/YYYY')Also, you may want to take into consideration nothing being input in :P2_ITEM_NUMBER like this...
AND INSTR(a.item_number,NVL(:P2_ITEM_NUMBER,a.item_number)) > 0Is item number actually a number or char field? If it's a number, you want to explicitly convert it to a string for using INSTR like this...
AND INSTR(TO_CHAR(a.item_number),NVL(TO_CHAR(:P2_ITEM_NUMBER),TO_CHAR(a.item_number))) > 0?
Cheers

Finding number of working days during query execution
Hi ,
We have a requirement to calculate number of working days during query execution. In the cube we got "received date", this will be used as a variable in the query. Based on the received date value entered, query needs to display number of products received from past 1, 2,3,4 days (working days should include weekends or public holidays).
1day 2 days 3 days 4 days 5 days
10 12 20 15 20
to me it appears as I need to create virtual key figures.
Regards,
RamzHi ramesh,
First try to create formula variables for start data and end date to calculate the no of working days.
Create a Variable ZSTDT --of type replacement path.
Type of Variable = Formula
Variable Name = ZSTDT
Characteristic = <info object>
For Intervals Use = Select From Value
Offset Start = 0000 Offset Length = 0000
Replacement var with : key
use the same steps to create one more formula variable to get end date.
Now create a formula to get the No of days.
once after getting no of days you can create buckets as per your need.

Building Query in Pre-Query. How to make it more Memory Efficient
Hello all,
I have a form with 2 Data Blocks.
First Block is used for giving query Parameters and second one returns the results based on a View.
I build the Select Clause in the pre-query based on the Parameters. So every time I have a Different Query.
Could that create problem in the Database Server due to parsing queries again and again?
Would using a Different approach (i.e. ref Cursors) be more memory Efficient?
ThanksThe pre-query is quite Large so I am pasting only a part of the Code (the rest of it Is Identical).
In the selects v is the alias of the View of the Second Data Block.
The :qf_ bind variables are fields of the First block where I give the Parameters.

L_WHERE := L_WHERE || ' AND V.IS_DISPLAYED =''1''';

4.0 EA2 - Autofit not working properly in Query Result grid
Hi,
in 4.0 EA2 the Autofit isn't working properly in Query Result grid.
Rather than shrinking columns to the narrowest size that accommodates headings and contents (as per 3.2), it auto-expands to fit the whole data query grid.
It looks worse, and makes it harder to see results at a glance.Bug and will be fixed for v4 release.

Dear Experts,
I have a query based on a Multiprovider with 2 cubes (inventory cube and sales order cube). I need extra information of material like material size, season and colour. So I have been advised to include an Ods/DSO in order to get this information as it is not available in the above cubes an to write a pre query for size, season, colour . I never done this before.
Could you please guide me, urgent please? Do I need to add ods as I added the cubes before to Multiprovider and identify chars and keyfigures and then activate?
How should I write pre query? How can I link the query I have with the pre query? Please help me
Thanks,
RiyaActually the fastest and most efficient way of doing will be adding the requested fields in the cube and load the data from DSO to cube, if the DSO is feeding data to the cube. If you don't want to go that route, then you need to include the DSO in your multiprovider and identify the fields you need, since all the cube fields are already in the DSO, then there is no need to keep the cube in the multiprovider. Now you will have one dso and one cube in the multiprovider and in identification you specify all the fields as it is in the cube you had removed.
Hope I am clear.
thanks.

Hi,
I have a datablock in the form that is based on a DB table. There are few queriable fields in the block including begin and end dates. If i dont use any pre-query trigger, the records are queried fine. But I want to do a range selection between begin and end_Date fields. Therefore I created a pre-query trigger and set a new_where_clause with all my query_fields and set that as defualt where for my DB block.
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY (block_id,default_where, where_clause);
But when I see the query in toad session , the query looks like
WHERE (field_1 = :1) and field_1 = :1
that means its running the defualt where clause on the block and the new_where clause at the same time.
I checked the form and I dont have any calls to execute query....
what can be the problem?1. What is your new_where_clause? (example, please)It's hard to read. Use the \{code\} tag.
