Pass parameters from form to report; use them in report (WHERE some_date BETWEEN first_parameter AND second_parameter).

Sorry that I have been so long in replying. Have you solved your problem?

Okay, I have read your code. I recommend using 'web.show_document' but what I need to know is what is happening when you do run your code. Dates are a probem in that the format can be different between the different machines on which yor code is running. I suggest using a 'to_date(to_char(your_date,'yyyymmdd'),'yyyymmdd')' to push the date through to the other machine.

As I said earlier use something like 'to_date(to_char(:MAIN_BLOCK.START_DATE,'dd-mmm-yyyy'),'dd-mmm-yyyy')'. This is a typical 'nls_date_format' problem. I suggest you use 'message;pause' pairs to display the date fields and the 'STR' variable so that you can SEE what the machine is doing.

You have opened two topics so far; both of them have been discussed to a certain point.

In one of them you haven't replied so - how can anyone know whether you managed to solve the problem or not?

The second one is this very thread; your last message was unanswered until David saw it - I don't think that it was result of people not wanting to help, but something else - for example, no idea what might be wrong.
As you didn't raise it to the top, the topic somehow sank and waited for David to resurrect it.

As far as I can tell, vast majority of questions on this Forum is answered so - please, do come back, discuss your (and everyone else's) problems.

Respectful Sir!
I have a table named "Student" having following attributes:
STD_ID
STD_NAME
STD_FNAME
...
...
...
...
and
POF_NPOF

The "POF_NPOF" attribute, I have set data type "CHAR(1)" in which I stores only "P" or "N".
NOTE:-(Remember that I want to display it on report as "P" for "POF Student" and "N" for "Non POF Student")

Now in report builder, I have created a formula function named "STATUS" and attached the following code:
=============================================================
function STATUSFormula return varchar2(20) is
STD_STATUS CHAR(20);
begin

IF :POF_NPOF = 'P' OR :POF_NPOF = 'p' THEN

STD_STATUS:='POF';

ELSE
STD_STATUS := 'Non POF';
END IF;

RETURN STD_STATUS;
end;
==============================================================
I have set the source property of my required report textbox to "STATUS" but,
The above code is not working properly and no value is returned by this function.
If you have an idea then please help.
Thanks:
Muhammad Khaleeq

What does POF_NPOF column contain? Which value do you see on the screen (when you run the report)?

Try to rewrite the function as following:
function statusformula return char is
  std_status varchar2(20);
begin
  if upper(:pof_npof) = 'P' then
     std_status := 'POF';
  else
     std_status := 'Non POF';
  end if;
  return (std_status);
end;

The "POF_NPOF" column contains only "P" or "N" in database.
Before applying your code, No output was displayed.
Now, I have apply your suggested code but it only displays "Non POF" for all records.
Column contains "N" for "Non POF" and some records "P" for "POF".
I want to display if:
Column contains "P" then it should display "POF" and if column contains "N" then it should display "Non POF"

What is the POF_NPOF column's datatype?

You said that it contains "P" and "N" only. What is the result of the following query:
select pof_npof, length(pof_npof), count(*) cnt
from this_table
group by pof_npof, length(pof_npof);

The data type of POF_NPOF is char(1)
and your query displays the following output.

POF_NPOF LENGTH(POF_NPOF) CNT
---------- ---------------- ----------
P 10 3

In POF_NPOF field I stored "P" for those who belonged to "POF Area" and "N" for those who are not belonged to "POF Area". I only stores "N" or "P" in this field because I set its data type char(1).

What happens when you include TRIM function:
function statusformula return char is
  std_status varchar2(20);
begin
  if upper(trim(:pof_npof)) = 'P' then      --> here
     std_status := 'POF';
  else
     std_status := 'Non POF';
  end if;
  return (std_status);
end;

Oooo yes sir,
I used trim( ) but an error message is generated i.e, "TRIM must be declare"
Then I used RTRIM ( ) then the output is displayed as I want, and now my problem is solved.
You are so genius.

Thanks for helping

No, I'm not what you think that I am.

But you should consider NOT using CHAR datatype, but rather use VARCHAR2. If you did that in the first place, you wouldn't have that problem (and save 4 hours of your precious time).
