Lov-restricted report and parameter setting [message #395280]

Hello again everyone,

I have a question here regarding report calls, parameter passing from forms and parameter validation (via List of Values in Reports). In my report, I have a parameter whose value is restricted by a LOV based on a query that selects currency codes and a default value ' LOCAL CURR' (note the leading blank space). This report is callable from a form which uses a bunch of Add_Parameter calls to set the required. In one specific case the ' LOCAL CURR' is passed on (written in exactly the same way a in the LOV on the target report). However, when I call the report from the form with the ' LOCAL CURR', it gives an error stating that the restricted param value for currency is not present in the accepted values (oracle error code REP-0788). How could I remedy this please?

regards,
Didier

Try to add that value into the report's list of values using UNION, such as

select value_you_currently_select name
from your_table
where some_condition
union all
select ' LOCAL CURR' name
from dual

Doing so, it *would* be part of the LoV.

Hello and thanksfor your suggestion.

Actually the LOV is query-based and I do have a UNION query to fetch the required including the default value as you suggested. I thought it was that leading blank space so I got rid of it both in the report and forms param definition...now it works fine but I will try your suggestion since my union was not a union all and I didn't give a default field name.

cheers,
Didier
