I find lots of info about passing parameter into subreport, but nothing about passing it from main report into command object in main report. (This is the closest I could find.)
The command object received from the vendor (names changed to reduce length) contains
left join LOC L on L.ID = P.Loc_ID
We add parameter "Area" to the main report. {?Area} does what we expect in formulas, but it won't work in a record selection because it can't be matched to anything coming out of the command object. If I replace table LOC in the cited line as
left join **(select * from LOC where A = {?Area})** L on L.ID = P.Loc_ID
then SQL Server complains of "syntax error, permission violation, or other nonspecific error" [sic]
If I create the parameter in the command object editor (even though it already exists outside), then the whole Crystal IDE crashes!
The command object already has parameters that it magically gets from the main report. Must I remove it from the main report (proctalgia) before adding it to the command object? I can't find anything on any menus to link the two parameters together, like I can for a subreport.
Version 2008, if that matters.
If you are using an SQL command, don't create the parameters in the main report. The window where you put your SQL has a section called Parameter List. Create all your parameters relating to the query there and it will be transfered to the main report.
In your coding you have {?Area}, create a parameter with the name Area.
I found a video demonstrating it. It's an old version of Crystal Reports but still works the same.

I found creating the command object and the parameter FIRST is the key. The parameter (say it is InstNo), is then created in the subreport. You can then use "Change SubReport Links" (right click on the subreport), and select that parameter as the parameter to link to. So basically do it backwards, create the command object first, then link it back to the main report. For whatever reason if you do it the other way it does not work (even if the name is the same). Just my experience.

Do you think that it's possible to take a value into an ODI IKM Option (for example) from a flexfield?
Example:
You define a flex field on the target table and then pass the value in the IKM.
Then, reading the variable, it's possible to pass it to an option from the IKM?
Thanks,
After searching I found that it's not possible to do it. Conditional Expression can take predefined values. You can find in the next all the combinations:
Condition Expression – It allows you to set the required condition for
the selected option. Double-click the field for editing the condition
expression for the selected option. Click the browse icon Browse icon,
to launch the Edit Expression Editor, which enables you to create or
edit the existing groovy script that determines whether a knowledge
module should be enabled, disabled, displayed or hidden.
Examples are:
return
options.getValue("Cache").equals("true")?"show=true,enable=true":"show=false,enable=false";
This looks at the value of another KM Option called "Cache". If its
value is "false," then the KM Option is hidden, because it's not
relevant.
return
(isStreaming)?"show=false,enable=false":"show=true,enable=true";
This looks at the Mapping isStreaming property. If it's true, then
this option is hidden.

It is very easy to do.
You may use odiRef.getTable(java.lang.String pProperty) in the code of your IKM. One of possible values for pProperty is the code of your FlexField.
If you like to pass if through the option just pas <?…?>-substitution as a value of the option. (Probable you should play with %- or ?-substitutions, which is working.)
Refer to «Substitution API Reference» on Oracle site. Many functions like getTable, getIndex, getAK, getContext and others can obtain flexField value of an object of the corresponding type.
Additionally there is the odiRef.getFlexFieldValue() method. It gets the value of any object of any type, but it is required to pass internal IDs as an argument. So it is not convenient.
I have a canvas that contains multiple tabs, and I am writing a trigger that hides some of these tabs when a certain condition is met.
Here is my pl sql code that I used :
go_item('homeadmin1.complist');
set_tab_page_property('overview',visible,property_false);
go_item(:addservice);
set_tab_page_property('newservice',visible,property_false);
go_item(:btnaddcomp);
set_tab_page_property('addcompany',visible,property_false);
This code compiles well, but when I run the form I get an error about referencing my items. I tried searching for solutions but nothing worked. Note that homeadmin1 is the block name that contains the items, and "overview", "newservice", and "addcompany" are the tabs names that need to be hidden. Your help will be appreciated.
Argument of method go_item should be defined in quotation marks, as your first one (go_item('homeadmin1.complist');):
go_item('addservice');
go_item('btnaddcomp');
if there are unique items named addservice and btnaddcomp for entire form. Against probability of duplicate occurance of item, it's always good to include block names also whicever block they're at :
go_item('block1.addservice');
go_item('block_button.btnaddcomp');

I'm trying to get some server hostnames into a Command Line script with Configuration Parameters. I want each option to contain multiple hostnames.
My configuration:
vanmain => rad-ecr1,rad-ecr2,rad-ecr3,rad-myecr,rad-balancer
tor => rad2-bal,rad2-ecr1,rad2-ecr2,rad2-myecr
fvcdc => rad-fvcdc,rad-balancer
bccfa => rad-bccfa
When I select fvcdc in a build, I receive the following error message:
One of entered values 'rad-fvcdc' is not one of valid select item values: rad-ecr1,rad-ecr2,rad-ecr3,rad-myecr,rad-balancer,rad2-bal,rad2-ecr1,rad2-ecr2,rad2-myecr,rad-fvcdc,rad-balancer,rad-bccfa
How do I get the values into my script?
Dunkan,
I successfully reproduced your issue and was able to find out the root cause of it.
On my virtual installation I created a build with select type parameter, let's name it HostValue. Next, in Items field I copy/pasted values from your initial post and tried to reproduce the problem -- but executing the build was successful. Then I decided to reconfigure parameter and toggled Allow multiple checkbox, and viola, same error message as you got!
If you read small text below Value separator field, you will see, that default value is comma: , and as your values contain this symbol you got an error.
So, to solve this problem I can suggest you these variants:
If you don't need multiple choices, you can just turn off this feature and everything should work.
Replace default Value separator with custom one, for example <SEP>. Then whenever you will select multiple values for this parameter you will get something like:
"rad-ecr1,rad-ecr2,rad-ecr3,rad-myecr,rad-balancer"<SEP>"rad2-bal,rad2-ecr1,rad2-ecr2,rad2-myecr"<SEP>"rad-fvcdc,rad-balancer"
Replace comma in your values with some other separator, for example | or :. In this case it would look like:
"rad-ecr1:rad-ecr2:rad-ecr3:rad-myecr:rad-balancer","rad-fvcdc:rad-balancer"
After that you can use the value of this parameter as usual %HostValue% and parse depending on which variant you choose.
Maybe the error message from server could be a little bit clearer. Hope it will help you.
Also I would like to recommend you my plugin teamcity-web-parameters. It will allow you to create dynamic select values from external web service.
Take a look at this thread: https://teamcity-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/206843785-How-to-specify-empty-value-for-Typed-Parameter -- looks very similar to your question.
I'm creating a report in vfp. The report contains grouping. In the end of each group, i draw a line. Each row in the detail band doesn't contain any line, only at the end of each group. The problem is when the group expand to the next page, in the previous page i want to draw a line at the bottom. Like this :
(page 1)
group A
name, etc
x1,etc
x2,etc
???how do I add line here?
(page 2)
group A
name,etc
x3,etc
x4,etc
group B
name,etc
y1,etc
y2,etc
I've tried to place the line in the page footer band, but the last line of the report doesn't have exact position, so it doesn't look nice.
Hope I described the situation clear enough. Thank You for taking the time to help me.
Without some significant smoke-and-mirrors trickery: running the report twice, once hidden and track where the breaks are via function calls in the report, and then again for production, its not EASILY done.
The only thing I could suggest is putting a line at the TOP of a PAGE FOOTER which prints on EVERY page. How long have you been working with VFP. Depending, I MIGHT be able to guide you through it.
Ok, here are the steps I would take. This is under the assumption that you are pre-querying the results for your report and ordering them by some means into a temporary report cursor. You need to add 2 columns to your query as place-holders and be sure your do your cursor as " INTO CURSOR READWRITE " as we will be writing to this from within the report... that is the trick.
Next, modify your report. Go to the detail band and put a single line at the bottom of it. Adjust as needed if you need a few pixels under the last detail element. Double click the line and get to the tab where it allows you to put in a "Print When" condition for the line. Enter one of the new column names called "ShowLine" (but without the quotes).
Now, the "hook" for smoke and mirrors. Create another textbox field output in the report detail. It can be as small as 2 pixels wide and never actually prints anything. It can be put at the beginning or end of the report detail, no matter, just as long as its in the detail band. Double click it to bring up what it will print. In the expression, enter the following... WhatPageAmIOn( _PageNo )
This will actually call a function we'll add to your program which writes back to your report cursor... I'll hit that next.
Now, the code. The following is a sample snippet of code I've written to query the data for the report, have the extra columns, and put into a READWRITE cursor. From that, I run the report but to NOCONSOLE so it doesn't actually visually do anything, just runs in the background. It then cycles through and looks for the break between each page and goes backward 1 record from the break and stamps that record as "ShowLine" = .T... Then run the report again as normal and you have your one line appearing in the detail band regardless of a data group, but always the last data line at the end of each page.
Here's the code
*/ Query your data, order by whatever,
*/ but tack on the two extra fields and make it READWRITE
select;
YourData,;
AnotherField,;
MoreData,;
.f. as ShowLine,;
00000 as WhatPage;
FROM ;
YourData;
ORDER BY ;
WhateverForYourReport
INTO ;
CURSOR C_RptData READWRITE
*/ Pre-run the report NOCONSOLE so your windows don't get messed up / scrolled
REPORT FORM YourReport NOCONSOLE
*/ now, go back to the cursor that your report ran with
SELECT C_RptData
*/ set a variable for the first page you are looking to find a break for.
*/ in this case, the first detail that APPEARED on page 2.
lnLastPage = 2
*/ Start at top of the report cursor file and keep going until we reach
*/ the end of file where the LOCATE can no longer find "Pages".
GO TOP
DO WHILE NOT EOF()
*/ find the first record on ex: Page 2
LOCATE FOR WhatPage = lnLastPage
*/ Did we find one?
IF FOUND()
*/ Yes, go backwards 1 record
SKIP -1
*/ This is the last detail that appeared on the page before it (ie: pg 1)
*/ Mark this line as ok to "ShowLine" the next time the report is run.
replace ShowLine WITH .T.
*/ Now, advance the page counter to look for the NEXT page break...
*/ ex: between page 2&3, 3&4, 4&5, etc...
lnLastPage = lnLastPage +1
ENDIF
ENDDO
*/ Run your final version of the report
REPORT FORM YourReport Preview (or print)
RETURN
Here's the only hook below to track/update the page associated with the detail. I don't know if you have a main "SET PROCEDURE TO" file, or just a bunch of free .PRG files all in your project, or even if your reporting is done from within a PRG file itself. however, all you need is this function to be included in any of those locations. For simplest test, I would just create it as a stand-alone .prg file (if you are NOT using SET PROCEDURE, or doing your report within a PRG file and not from within a class method/event).
FUNCTION WhatPageAmIOn
LPARAMETERS lnPage
replace whatPage WITH lnPage
RETURN ""
As in the original description, the report is going to include a field in the detail band based on a function "WhatPageamIOn" and passes the parameter of _PageNo which is the internal VFP variable that keeps track of the current report page that is typically used in report header / footers. So, as each detail is getting processed, we are "STAMPING" the detail data with whatever the page is. We return an empty string "" so nothing actually gets printed, yet we've hooked what we needed. From this, the loop finding the first record at the beginning of every page (starting at page 2), and skipping backwards to the last entry for the prior page and we're done.
Good luck.
Whilst debugging in Xcode_3.1.2 I am pretty sure I could see the contents of my NSString arrays. However after upgrading to 3.2 I only see the following ...
I know I can print the object in (gdb) using "po planetArray" or simply click in the debugger and "print description to console" I am just curious, as I am sure it worked prior to upgrading. Anyone know anything about this?
cheers gary
edit: data formatters is on and it shows what you see above ...
This is because GDB acts as if the variable you are viewing is out of scope while it really just is confused about what each part function or method call of the data formatter is returning (the data formatter is the "{(unichar *)Xcode_CFStringSummary($VAR, $ID)}:s" part you are seeing.
When you are debugging and you are in a method where you know a local variable must be in scope right now, open the debugger window and the area where you can see "Variable", "Value" and "Summary" column titles double click the "Summary" row entry for the variable you are interested in and enter the following (for array types like NSArray or NSCFArray):
"{(int)[$VAR count]} objects {(NSString *)[(NSArray *)$VAR description]}:s"
then press return. You have now overwritten the default data formatter provided by Xcode's GDB extension (to be found in various plists at "/Developer/Library/Xcode/CustomDataViews/") with your own data formatter string.
Your own overrides are saved at "~/Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/CustomDataViews/CustomDataViews.plist" and if you want to have the Apple default data formatter back just double click the row for a variable of the same type and delete whatever is there.
The nitty-gritty details: In the custom expression above the "{}" construct tells GDB to execute a command (as if you where executing it from GDB's debugger command line, which means the same restrictions apply: you need to specify the return type in cast parens in front of every function or method which returns something). The ":s" behind the closing curly brace tells Xcode and GDB to reference the "Summary" column. Also valid would be ":v" which references the "Value" column which most of the time is just the pointer value. Everything that is outside of the curly braces is shown verbatim.
Unfortuntely curly braces can't be nested which invalidates ternary operator conditionals.
So with the above data formatter you should see the following for an empty NSArray:
"0 objects (\n)"
If you want to write your own data formatters as GDB extensions (equivalent to specifying a function akin to Xcode_CFStringSummary above) you can do so. Take a look at the following header: "/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/PlugIns/GDBMIDebugging.xcplugin/Contents/Headers/DataFormatterPlugin.h"
it will tell you all you need to know. But it can be hard to get it right. It might be easier and less error prone to just define another method on your class and call that from the data formatter string instead of "description".
In the Run > Variables View menu in Xcode, is "Use Data Formatters" enabled?
I am not sure if this helps but if you select the array value to wish to see in the debugger window and the go to the Menu : Run > Variables View > View Variable As
you can change it from "NSCFString *" to "NSString *". You then see the value so "Planet_1" for example.
Cheers,
Kevin
