Hi,

I have registered an Oracle report as Concurrent program.

I have 2 questions about this.

1)I want to show "No data found" when the report is run and returns no row..

How can this be made possible?

2)the report has a parameter "Operating Unit"
How can I have a drop down list for operating units ?

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I wanted to have an After Report Trigger, such that if the report generated no output, then the trigger would display in the output "No Data Found".. this would be triggered only when no output is generated.

Could any one please help me wih the steps to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Well, I wouldn't use AFTER REPORT trigger; I'd create a SUMMARY column which would perform COUNT function over one of columns returned by a query, and break on report. Let's call it "my_count".

In Paper Layout Editor, I'd write "NO DATA FOUND" and create Format Trigger for this text object which would look like

RETURN (:my_count = 0);

In other words: if count function returned 0 (as there were no records at all), display this text.

Please, do not multipost. You have asked the same question twice. There's no need to do that, just continue discussion in existing topic.

As of your question which regards drop down list for a parameter, open this parameter's Property Inspector and write List of Values' query (or use static values).
