Hi,

I have developed a RDF report which when linked to my application called OTM, it returns data which are not expected.

My report has two lexical parameters which are of date variables.

When i run the report from my application it asks for the parameter valeus and when i specify it, the report is not returnign the data within the date range i specified. it returns me all the data.

Kindly help me out.

Regards,
Dhivya

Too few information; how does your query look like? Where do you prepare those lexical parameters and how? What values do you provide? What format do you use? Etc. etc.

The query has two lexical paramters like '&p_tarrif_date' and &p_insert_date'.

These are all two date fields in a table.

sample of the query:

select
----
from
ship s,
app p
where
s.gid=p.gid and
&p_tariff_date and
&p_insert_date

The SET_LEXICAL_PARAMTER and AFTERPFORM looks as below

AFTERPFORM

function AfterPForm return boolean is
begin
set_lexical_parameters;
return (TRUE);
END;

SET_LEXICAL_PARAMETERS

PROCEDURE set_lexical_parameters IS
--pls_orig_p1 VARCHAR2(32766) ;
BEGIN

IF NOT( :P_INSERT_DATE IS NULL or :P_INSERT_DATE = '1=1') then
:P_INSERT_DATE1 := 'S.INSERT_DATE'||get_filter_condition( :P_INSERT_DATE, :p_date_format );
ELSE
:P_INSERT_DATE1 := '2=2' ;
END IF ;

IF NOT( :P_TARIFF_DATE IS NULL or :P_TARIFF_DATE = '1=1') then
:P_TARIFF_DATE1 := 'p.tariff_date'||get_filter_condition( :P_TARIFF_DATE, :p_date_format );
ELSE
:P_TARIFF_DATE1 := '2=2' ;
END IF ;

END;

We pass the two lexical paramerts in the value of 'DD-MM-YYYY'
but the two parameters are defined in the user parameters as character,2000

The issue is no matter what date i specify the data returned from the report is not matching teh dates am specifying.

Hope this helps.

Dhivya

When working with dates (and passing string values), one needs to take care about correct datatype conversion (TO_DATE against strings), correct format masks etc. You use GET_FILTER_CONDITION (a function, I suppose) that accepts :P_DATE_FORMAT (which is another parameter, I guess, containing format mask you use (DD-MM-YYYY, right?). Does that function works OK?

Try to display lexical parameters with SRW.MESSAGE built-in, so that you'd see how they look like. Copy/paste them into SQL*Plus and run SELECT statement (you know how it looks like - now append lexical parameters you saw on the screen).
