Replace a string in a classic report

PhilMan2 wrote:

I have a standard report on a page.  Some data in this report must be formatted for display.  For example, one of the fields, a CLOB, may contain zero, one or several line feeds [Chr (10)].  I would like the report to start a new line and display a line empty each time as a CHRI10) is encountered.

In a stored procedure, I use the following and it works fine:

Select references1 in l_reading1 from myTable;

l_reading1: = Replace (l_reading1, Chr (10),")

');

How would incorporate this substitute in a statement select Classic report?

Using this method, just include replace in the report query:

select
    replace(reading, chr(10), '

') reading
from
    mytable

Set the attribute to text to display as column column of Standard report (or Type as plain text and escape special characters No. in APEX 5.0).

However, the double break is an improper use of the br element and according to the nature of the data a single break can be as well. If the data consists of text paragraphs, use:

select
    '
' || regexp_replace(reading, chr(10) || '+', '
') reading
from
    mytable

in the source report and add a style sheet to the page Inline CSS attribute:

td[headers="READING"] p {
  margin: 1em 0;
}

Another possibility is to mark the data as a pre-formatted text so that line breaks are rendered as breaks:

select
    reading
from
    mytable

with an Expression of HTML in the column attributes:

#READING#

"Character String Buffer too small" classic report Apex 3.2.1
 
			 
Hi all
I know it's a very old version I mention here, but that's what we have in our environment, would be very grateful if anyone can help out.
I have a classic report with the sub query in this, I have added a filter using an element from the selection list (P70_GROUP).
SELECT VWS. ServerID AS Display_ID, vws. ServerID AS ID, vws. Host name, vws. ServerStatus, vws. SiteName AS Site vws. Customer, vws. CoreHours, vws. Patch_Notes, vws. PATCH_DEP, vws. Patch_Day, vws. PATCH_GROUPID, vws. PATCH_TIMEID AS VW_Live_Support FROM Time LEFT JOIN W_Patch_Groups wpg vws WE (vws. Patch_GroupID = wpg.ID) WHERE the vws. ID = ' no AND NVL (wpg. Ignore, 'n') = ' n AND ((: P70_GROUP > 1 AND vws.)) PATCH_GROUPID =: P70_GROUP) OR (: P70_GROUP = 1 AND vws.) (Patch_GroupID IS NULL) OR (NVL(:P70_GROUP,0) = 0)) AND (INSTR (UPPER (vws. Host name), SUPERIOR (NVL (: P70_SEARCH, vws.)) HostName))) > 0 OR INSTR (UPPER (vws. ServerStatus), SUPERIOR (NVL (: P70_SEARCH, vws.)) ServerStatus))) > 0 OR INSTR (UPPER (vws. SiteName), SUPERIOR (NVL (: P70_SEARCH, vws.)) SiteName))) > 0 OR INSTR (UPPER (vws. (Client), SUPERIOR (NVL (: P70_SEARCH, vws.)) Customer))) > 0 OR INSTR (UPPER (vws. CoreHours), SUPERIOR (NVL (: P70_SEARCH, vws.)) CoreHours))) > 0 OR INSTR (UPPER (vws. Patch_Notes), SUPERIOR (NVL (: P70_SEARCH, vws.)) (Patch_Notes))) > 0)
This is when I select a group in the list, I get
"error report:
"ORA-06502: PL/SQL: digital or value error: character string buffer too small.
an unusual thing, that I've noticed here is when I select "All groups", which returns the value 0, it is works well and return of 3700 lines but when I select any group that returns 10 to 20 lines I get the above error.
does not include why it is, please help me.
Kind regards

Hi all
I am able to solve the problem by referring to the link below:
Huge selection box fails...
What I am able to solve without even changing the item type. Things are working fine now, but it would be really helpful if someone could give me their expert commentary on the solution above.
Is this feasible? I'll be able to solve the problem forever, or it will cause problems again in the future?
Kind regards

change the color of line based on the value of column 5 Apex in the classic report
 
			 
Version of the apex 5.0.0.00.31
Standard universal theme
Page theme default template
Classic report
Foldable report template
Hello
I know this question has been asked several times here, but I'm working on 5 Apex and need to know the correct way to do it in this version.
I need to change the color of the text of the entire line (no background color) based on the value in one of the columns of the classic report. I have just two conditions, if the value of column = Yes, color should be red, otherwise it must be green.
I am new to jscript and css, so appreciate if someone can tell me the solution with steps.
I have already checked this link that changes the value of the column, need to do something similar to the whole line.

Hi coolmaddy007-Oracle,.
Here's an example set up on the apex.oracle.com according to the specifications you gave: https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=35467:1
Version of the apex 5.0.0.00.31
Standard universal theme
Page theme default template
Classic report
Foldable report template
Here is how it is done:
Create a dynamic action with the following specifications:
Name: Give the appropriate name
Event: After refresh
Selection type: region
Region: select your region classic report
Condition: No strings attached
Action: Run the JavaScript Code
Fire on loading the Page: Yes
Code:
$('td[headers="JOB"]').each(function() {
  if ( $(this).text() === 'MANAGER' ) {
    $(this).closest('tr').find('td').css({"color":"red"});
  }
  if ( $(this).text() === 'SALESMAN' ) {
    $(this).closest('tr').find('td').css({"color":"green"});
  }
  if ( $(this).text() === 'CLERK' ) {
    $(this).closest('tr').find('td').css({"color":"blue"});
  }
});

NOTE: Download the selector appropriate for your knowledge $('td[headers="JOB"]') case using firebug/browser development tools.
Items concerned: leave blank.
PS: Changed the example to change the color of text instead of the background color.
I hope this helps!
Kind regards

Adding Tables HTML output of the classic report
 
			 
Good day to all.

Im trying to produce a classic report that looks like a Bill... Letterhead at the top and several integrated areas separate table that contain a mixture of static text and retrieved data.
No matter what I try, I can't get the embedded table borders appears...  The data presents itself, and its all formatted and aligned correctly, but not of borders.   Ive tried just about every report models...
The following is an example of my SQL: (obviously I would be inserting data in the tables at various points...)
Select ' < table border = "3" cellpadding = "1" cellspacing = "1" height = "134" width = "381" >
< tbody >
< b >
< td colspan = "2" style = "" text-align: center; "> < span style =" "are-size: 18px;" > invoice </span > < table > ""

Page, region and report models? (Better yet, create an example on apex.oracle.com...)
Im trying to produce a classic report that looks like a Bill... Letterhead at the top and several integrated areas separate table that contain a mixture of static text and retrieved data.
I suggest that you create a custom report template (or several).
No matter what I try, I can't get the embedded table borders appears...  The data presents itself, and its all formatted and aligned correctly, but not of borders.   Ive tried just about every report models...
They are being replaced by CSS rules of the theme for the report model.
The following is an example of my SQL: (obviously I would be inserting data in the tables at various points...)
Select '

All of these attributes of table are obsolete and should be implemented using CSS instead (unless you need compatibility with IE6 and 7?).
I would appreciate if anyone knows how I can achieve this, (or ideas on how to create and invoice report type).
Tables (especially nested tables) may not necessarily be the way to do it in 2014. Can you put an illustration of the required provision?
Best way to get help with this would be to create the required tables in the DB with appropriate apex.oracle.com sample data and share identification information of developer comments for the workspace, so we could work on a custom report template.
Do you need to make this printable?
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Custom classic report sorting of columns
 
			 
I have a classic report in version 4.2.5 which displays the following values in a column:
9 (4)
33 (17)
When I click on the column header and make a descending sort of the 9 just before the 33 because it deals is a string.  JQuery Data Tables can correctly sort numbers with $, (, commas, etc...)  Do the same with a classic report of APEX is anyway?

Conditional expression HTML in a classic report-
 
			 
Apex 4.2
I currently have a column of the report in a classic report that has an attribute of formatting of column as below. It works well, it displays a map icon that when you click on it turns off to google maps and put 2 geo points on a map. However, I need to change this report column so that the HTML expression will be different according to the value that is returned if the column returns the value 1 then the Expression HTML will be slightly different.
EXPRESSION OF HTML
< span class = "map_ #BROKE_GEO #_ #VALID_GEO_CODES #" > < a target = _blank href = "f? p = & APP_ID.:323: & SESSION.: P323_PARCEL_ID, P323_SCAN_ID, P323_PROP_ADDR1, P323_PROP_POSTCODE, P323_PROP_LAT, P323_PROP_LONG, P323_SCAN_LAT, P323_SCAN_LONG: & P341_PARCEL_ID, #SCAN_ID #, #LINE_1 #, #POST_CODE #, #PROPERTY_GEO_LAT #, #PROPERTY_GEO_LONG # #SCAN_GEO_LAT #, #SCAN_GEO_LONG #"> < img src =" #WORKSPACE_IMAGES #& P341_IMG_MAP_ #BROKE_GEO #. "alt ="Google Maps"title ="Google Maps"> < / has > < / span >"
I think I can do this in the source report directly with a case statement and include the HTML code for the column but how do you manage all the quotes in the SQL statement.
for example
Original request
SELECT
parcel_id
status
LOCATION
scan_date
scan_id
driver_comments
card_id
, valid_geo_codes - it's my html topic
property_geo_lat
property_geo_long
scan_geo_lat
scan_geo_long
broke_geo
line_1
post_code
OF vw_parcel_history_details
WHERE parcel_id =: p341_parcel_id
ORDER BY scan_date
New query
SELECT
parcel_id
status
LOCATION
scan_date
scan_id
driver_comments
card_id
(case
When valid_geo_codes = 1 then: p341_valid_geo_codes1
When valid_geo_codes = 2 then: p341_valid_geo_codes2
When valid_geo_codes = 3 then: p341_valid_geo_codes3
valid_geo_codes end)
property_geo_lat
property_geo_long
scan_geo_lat
scan_geo_long
broke_geo
line_1
post_code
OF vw_parcel_history_details
WHERE parcel_id =: p341_parcel_id
ORDER BY scan_date
I want to put: p341_valid_geo_codes1,: p341_valid_geo_codes2,: p341_valid_geo_codes3,: p341_valid_geo_codes4 be various iterations of this large html string but I do not know how to format because all the quotes off the coast?
Thank you

With a lot of attention.
You are on the right track, yes you can do it.  That's all just annoying because the single quotes must be doubled in your SQL to be escaped.
BUT the good thing is that the double quotes will not affect SQL only single quotes.
Then. I think that your new query will look like this:
SELECT
     parcel_id
    ,status
    ,LOCATION
    ,scan_date
    ,scan_id
    ,driver_comments
    ,card_id
    ,(case
      when valid_geo_codes=1 then
      ''
      when valid_geo_codes=2 then
      ''
      when valid_geo_codes=3 then
      ''
      end) valid_geo_codes
    ,property_geo_lat
    ,property_geo_long
    ,scan_geo_lat
    ,scan_geo_long
    ,broke_geo
    ,line_1
    ,post_code
    FROM vw_parcel_history_details
  WHERE parcel_id = :P341_PARCEL_ID
  ORDER BY scan_date

Baring of typos that probably works.
I think you know that you need to change the display Standard for the HTML column displays in HTML format and not as text.
I would be remiss in my duty if I did not mention that your values (such as line_1, post_code, etc.) if not controlled can contain the code of script in them, and then you may be susceptible to Cross Site Scripting attacks.  Not a problem for all the world, but it is worth noting.
Thank you
-Jorge
PS. I should add that right now all span three of HTML is the same, if they are going to be the same, then I would refactor this to a single line of HTML and instruction box on the inside for the three sectors of the P341_VALID_GEO_CODES.  in any case, I think you get the idea.

Bug report - classic report lov definition retained when it is no longer relevant
 
			 Hello


In January, I spotted a case where, the attributes were selected after a selection has been changed, and related fields are hidden in the dev environment.
http://www.grassroots-Oracle.com/2013/01/dynamic-action-hidden-false-actions.html


Anthony Rayner asked me on twitter for more examples, and I just found a.


Classic report - display of the column as "list of selection (query based lov).
Add sql LOV.
Replace 'report type column' or 'display as text... '. ', save.
Change to 'select list... ". '--> lov definition is displayed again.


I actually founded it after assigning the column standard report column, then copy the page - the LOV was present in the new page!

Thank you for following up on that. I submitted the bug #16482841 to do this, which will be reviewed at the next major release.

Find + replace text (string constant) does not work for screw Statechart module
 
			 
Hello
I tried to do a mass find + replace a string in my code. Using Ctrl + F, LabVIEW 2012 correctly locates all the places where this string exists, including within the States transitions guards who have paths in this form:
XYZ.lvsciagram.vi / Transition: Guard - diagram, Transition, data/part
However, when I've specified that a replacement string, then click on 'Replace all', only 'normal' instances of screws replaced - instances in my diagrams had not changed.
What is going on? Is there anything else I need to do?
Thanks in advance.
			 
Looks like those that does not include how to find and replace is implemented in LabVIEW. You can try to replace just the statechart and see if that makes a difference, but it may simply not work.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Search and replace the string formatting
 
			 
Hello
I try to do a search and replace the formatting of a string.
In the example, I'm looking for the string 'SUCCESSFUL', but it must also begin by usbflash and some number + PASSED.
I can't get the format to have a number between 1 and 99. The number of replacements should add up to 6 in this case. I tried with \d for any number, and I also tried [1-99].
			 
Make a right-click on the function search and replace the string.  There is an option to use regular Expressions.  Then give it a try.

EDIT: You need to set the entry replace all to TRUE.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
replace a string
 
			 
is it possible to replace a string? I mean, as in any programming language when you:
String data = "abc";
data = 'zxc ';
I am trying to get the substrings of an initial string like '123.456.789.432.567' separated by the "." character, and when I get "123" at the first iteration, I do not know how to init the second iteration with "456.789.432.567" that I can't change the original string the process gets.
Thank you
			 
A quick detour to the String\ vi.llb\Advanced might help a little to that.

but the Crossrulz method has merit too.

This period can be a delicate delimiter!

"{\"search_result\":[{\"name\":\"Mall Summarecon\",\"category\":\"BusinessEntity\",\"id\":\"1\"},{\"name\":\"Bamboo Dim Sum\",\"category\":\"BusinessEntity\",\"id\":\"2\"},{\"name\":\"Dimsum Ceker\",\"category\":\"Item\",\"id\":\"1\"}]}"

I want to replace the string "\".
the json are already working on my app via .cpp file
I already add json.replace on my qml
function simpleSearch(response){
        indicator.stop()
        model.clear()
        console.log("Response: "+response)
        var json = JSON.parse(response)
        json = json.replace('\\', ' ') // this is how the way i replace
        if (json == "[]")
            notFound.visible = true

        else
            model.append(json.search_result)
    }

but still does not work
is there a different way to replace it?
Thank you
			 
Change your simpleSearchFinished as follows
....simpleSearchFinished()
{
    QNetworkReply *reply = qobject_cast(sender());
    if (!reply->error()){
        QByteArray response = reply->readAll();
        response.replace("\\", "");
        if (response.startsWith("\"")){
            response.remove(0, 1);
        }
        if (response.endsWith("\"")){
            response.remove(response.length()-1, 1);
        }
        emit simpleSearchDone(response);
    }else{
        const int httpCode = reply->attribute(QNetworkRequest::HttpStatusCodeAttribute).toInt();
        qDebug() << "ErrorCode" << httpCode << endl << \
                "ErrorString" << reply->errorString();
        emit error(httpCode, reply->errorString());
    }
    reply->deleteLater();
    manager->deleteLater();
}

and QML
function simpleSearch(response){
    indicator.stop()
    model.clear()
    var json = JSON.parse(response)
    if (json){ // is VALID/PARSED
        model.append(json.search_result)
    }
}

As I wrote, it is not a good workaround solution. The best is to send VALID JSON string directly from your server. But it works
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Classic report - add the column "select box"?
 
			 
I have a classic report and you want to add a column with a check box so that the user can select several lines and perform an action on all of the lines (delete selected, for example).  Looks like it should be easy and maybe integrated features, but I don't find it.  Is there a standard way to do this?
Steve
APEX 5.0
			 
Hello
to add a box to your classic report using apex_item.checkbox like this API function:
select
    APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(p_idx=>1, p_value=>DEPTNO)  as select_dept,
    DEPTNO as DEPTNO,
    DNAME as DNAME,
    LOC as LOC
from DEPT

You can access the values checked (for example in a process page)
declare
v_deleted_depts number := 0;
begin
FOR i in 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01.count
LOOP
  v_deleted_depts := v_deleted_depts + 1;
  delete from dept where deptno = APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i);
END LOOP;
:P1_DEPTCOUNT := v_deleted_depts;
end;

P1_DEPTCOUNT (hidden) is just for later interaction with this procedure - for example, you want to present your users with a message of success and error custom as "Deleted & P1_DEPTCOUNT. departments. »
Maybe you would like to add an option to check all checkboxes at once. If so, read this blogpost Blog of Carl Backstrom: September 2007.
Kind regards

Edit: don't forget to toggle the leak key for special characters not your column "checkbox.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Aliging two tables side by side on a classic report
 
			 
Hello
I have three regions on my page. The first two regions are of pie charts and appear side by side.

The third area is a classic report and appears in graphic regions.

The problem is that the first chart area has the same width as the region of the classic report. This causes a gap between the two tables. How can I remove the gap between the two graphic region, ignoring all that is the width of the classic report?

Help with an Export on a classic report 4.2.5.00.08
 
			 
Version: 4.2.5.00.08

Like this:
Users than the State of export, like this:
One way to do that was to create a second report without breaking formatting set and fix the terms at a time so that when the "Download" link has been activated the second report, the report without breaking format, would go and download.
My problem is that I forgot how to set the conditions for that to happen.
Can someone help me to implement?
OR
Now is a way to get the formatting AND data in all cells?

Lol you would perform the calculations super aggregate in the report of export SQL using GROUPING SETS or CUMULATIVE instead of APEX report put break in shape.
