aoa to all!
Dear gurus, i want to develop such type of report in report builder 6i.

empno employee name emp photo
1 abc (here i want to show photo)

i have build such report but the problem is when any employee who has no photo, i want to display default photo. i m displaying photo using the below steps
1. create a formula column of type char which returns the path of emp photo like this ' return 'd:\photo\' || :empno || '.gif';
2.create a field in layout and set the read from file property set to yes and format to image.
my requirement is when a new employee record is entered into table emp but his photo is not currently in the directory then i want to display a logo.
hope my question is clear. thanks in advance. plz reply a.s.a.p

Before returning the filename, you can cross check whether the file is present in the path or not by opening it in read mode.

If it is succeeded, close the file and return the filename.
If it's error out then (in exception section) you can return the filename as logo.gif or so.

If that is not working, then please provide the rdf.

I have no idea whether there is a column photo in the table emp or not.
I think the photo(the image file, which is in the format empno.gif) is not present in the directory.

So, If empno is not there in the table emp, there is no question of showing an image, because the report is expected to print only the records in the table.

If at all there is a column photo and it is having null, then it won't raise no_data_found. So, the following condition should be there instead of no_data_found.

IF var_photo IS NULL THEN

Or else follow my previous solution.

I think I meant to say, use UTL_FILE to open the file in read mode. If it is erring out, then get that in exception handler and do the needful.
