Hi guys,

I'm using Oracle Reports Builder 9i and need to somehow pass multiple rows of data into a user parameter (in the 'beforereport' trigger). I use the following code in functions successfully but it doesnt work in 'beforereport':

-----------------------------------------
function BeforeReport return boolean is
retval VARCHAR2(2000);
ctr NUMBER(5) := 0;

cursor c1 is

SELECT docu.docu_code || ' / ' || docu.revision || ' / ' || TO_CHAR(docn.description) "Document"
FROM m_sys.m_documents docu
, m_sys.m_document_names docn
WHERE docu.docu_id = docn.docu_id(+)
AND docu.docu_code = :DC_DOC_ID

begin

FOR x IN c1 LOOP
ctr := ctr + 1;

IF ctr = 1 THEN
retval := x."Document";
ELSE
retval := retval || CHR(10) || CHR(10) || x."Document";
END IF;
END LOOP;

RETURN retval;

EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN

RETURN NULL;

end;
-----------------------------------------------------

I have managed to get this working by doing the following:

function BeforeReport return boolean is
ctr NUMBER(5) := 0;

cursor c1 is

SELECT docu.docu_code || ' / ' || docu.revision || ' / ' || TO_CHAR(docn.description) "Document"
FROM m_sys.m_documents docu
, m_sys.m_document_names docn
WHERE docu.docu_id = docn.docu_id(+)
AND docu.docu_code = :DC_DOC_ID

begin

FOR x IN c1 LOOP
ctr := ctr + 1;

IF ctr = 1 THEN
:UP_Doc := x."Document";
ELSE
:UP_Doc := :UP_Doc || CHR(10) || CHR(10) || x."Document";
END IF;
END LOOP;

RETURN TRUE;

EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN

RETURN NULL;

end;
-----------------------------------------------------

This can now be closed off.
