View 1 Repliesi am creating a report using a function in the select query..suppose this is my function that i created in the program unit of the report
FUNCTION is_numeric_rep (p_strval in varchar2) RETURN
NUMBER
IS
l_numval NUMBER;
BEGIN
l_numval := TO_NUMBER(p_strval);
RETURN 1;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
RETURN 0;
END is_numeric_rep;
and also suppose this is the query of the report
Select
is_numeric_rep('343aa43')
From dual
when pressing ok on the query statment in the report it give me this error: ORA-00904 "is_numeric_rep":invalid identifier although when i create this function as a stored function in the database schema and use it in the report it works fine with no problems.
i just want to know how can i create a procedure in the program unit and assign the output to a field in the report.

When ever there is new record new name of the image is posted in this formula column. But when the file is not present in the location it gives error. When the error occur i cant able to view the report. The error says 'You cant run the report without layout'. When all images are present in the directory then report runs fine.
function CF_QID_IMAGE return Char is

I am working on a report which shows a summarized data from 4 different tables. I have 2 columns which shows certain amount.
The data in both the columns comes from different table.
I want to compare these 2 columns for which i placed a formula column in data model. the code goes this way:
function CF_RECV_PAYFormula return Character is
V_RESULT VARCHAR2(50);
begin
IF :TOTAL_IOU_AMT >= :EXP_AMT THEN
[code].....
The compilation is successful. but when i am running the report i am getting an error Rep-1517 :Column 'CF_RECV_PAY' references column TOTAL_IOU_AMT and EXP_AMT has incompatible frequency.
I'm using a tabular kind of report. I've made about 4 formula (function)columns in my report. I want to make a calculation columns which will get parameters from values returned by these functions.

View 10 Replies View RelatedActually what happens is that we are connected to oracle through forms 6i. suddenly we receive the error " ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called "
while doing some transaction. we have searched on net and meta link. they say that the package / procedure called has become invalid or recompilation has occurred and that is not compatible. Now we have monitored carefully that there are no changes what so ever has been made in the the package/ procedure.
what could be the reason behind this. we have also checked the global variable issue. we use package level variables but declared in the package body only. (so these are not public)
When I run my package in TOAD and SQL plus I am not getting any errors. My package is being compiled well. When I integrate my Package through WED ADI .I am getting the above error. I am new to oracle apps WEDADI. can any give your valuable sugessions. I have even bounched the apache two times.
The schema for my package is APPS. Can you tell us how to go check the schema of WEB ADI. We see my integrator created in BNE_INTEGRATORS_TL. Since it is store in BNE table, the schema for BNE table is 'BNE'?
How to provide the access of package to the WEB ADI?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using Report Builder 9.0.4.0.33.
I am creating a report which generates the data to a PDF/CSV based on users Input.When I create the report using Report Builder and execute the report,Delimited data appears in a PDF layout.
But if I add the below code in After Parameter Form trigger,the column headers keeps repeating with the data.
function AfterPForm return boolean is
begin
IF :P_DESTYPE = 'CSV' THEN
:MODE :='DEFAULT';
:DESFORMAT:='DELIMITED';
Elsif :P_DESTYPE = 'PDF' THEN
:DESTYPE := 'CACHE';
:DESFORMAT:='PDF';
END IF;
return (TRUE);
end;

But the PDF output seems fine where the header is shown only once.I could see many posts regarding this in Oracle reports 6i wherein delimited_hdr=no is used in Command Line but I would like to know the work around in Oracle reports 10g.

I receive the error,
REP-1241 Circular column dependency originating with column 'cenvat_opening'
I have the following return statement for a column total_credit;
function total_creditFormula return Number is
begin
Return (return nvl(:cf_cenvat_closing ,0) - nvl(:cf_duty_on_goods_ed,0);
end;
Now i am using this total_creditFormula for the error formula column 'cenvat_opening'
function cenvat_openingFormula return Number is
f_num_opn number(14,2);
begin
SELECT NVL(Amount,0) INTO F_NUM_OPN
[code]...
here the formula column 'total_credit' has the following return statements;
RETURN Nvl(:cenvat_opening,0) + Nvl(:cenvat_credit_manu,0)
so how can i use this formula column? is there any other option to return the value in the same column.
i have two questions.
(1) how can i fill some value in a table column based on some existing column value automatically without user intervention. my actual problem is i have 'expiry date' column and 'status'. the 'status' column should get filled automatically based on the current system date. ex: if expiry date is '25-Apr-2011' and current date is '14-May-2011', then status should be filled as 'EXPIRED'
(2)hOw can i build 'select' query in a report (report 6i) so that it will show me list of items 'EXPIRED' or 'NOT EXPIRED' or both expired and not expired separately in a single report based on user choice. 'EXPIRED' & 'NOT EXPIRED' can be taken from the above question no. 1.
This is what i want to do:
I have a basic report looking like this:
<Column name>
value 1
value 2
value 3
.
.
.
value n
Since the column is small it can fit in a page more then one time. I know how to make it print more then once: i switch the repeating frame to print down and across and i modify the frame that contains it so the horizontal elasticity is variable.
After these changes my report looks like this:
<Column name>
value 1-----------------------value n+1-----------------------value m+1
value 2-----------------------value n+2-----------------------value m+2
value 3-----------------------value n+3-----------------------...
.------------------------------- .
.------------------------------- .
.------------------------------- .
value n-----------------------value m
What i want is my report to look like this:
<Column name>-------<Column name>------------<Column name>
value 1-----------------------value n+1-----------------------value m+1
value 2-----------------------value n+2-----------------------value m+2
value 3-----------------------value n+3-----------------------...
.------------------------------- .
.------------------------------- .
.------------------------------- .
value n-----------------------value m
I have set of few hundred reports in Oracle Reports 6i and we have to distinguish them in 3 classes as simple, medium and complex reports. I was wondering what are all the various criterias that should be evaluated to do this .. for example the query behind the report or the layout or graphs complexity etc.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using: Desktop / Discoverer 4.1 / Windows XP.
I am attempting to add a new calculated column and have had some success with the CASE function but need to add additional criteria.
What I have that works is:
SUM(CASE WHEN Expenditure Type = 'Supplier Rebates' THEN Total Spend Plus Commit ELSE 0 END)
What I need to add are a few additional criteria. I attempted and failed with a few variants of this:
SUM(CASE WHEN Expenditure Type = 'Supplier Rebates' AND Capitalizable = 'Y' AND
Task Owing Company = '534' OR '915' THEN Total Spend Plus Commit ELSE 0 END)
The three criteria points that I am looking to includea are:
•Expenditure Type = 'Supplier Rebates'
•Capitalizable = 'Y'
•Task Owing Company = '534' OR '915'
