Hi,All
is it possible to write a custum data into a csv file when the Matrix failed to generate a csv report?

Ex:
I have created a matrix report with a parameter deptno.
When the user input the deptno then it should check in emp table
And generate the csv.
if the input not found in Emp table then file shold be generated with a custum message like 'This not a Valid Dept'

I have 3 depts in emp(10,20,30).
If user entered any of these three then report working fine .
If it like 150 then simple report builder closing with an error.

And I have tried with after/before report too. But no use.
Any hints?

Let me know when you people want more info on this.

My basic Idea is to validate the deptno from the table...
If it is found then create the csv file with the content..Else create the file with the custum message

I'd rather try with the After Parameter Form trigger.

Custom messages can be displayed with the SRW built-in package (check SRW.MESSAGE). It is also possible to stop report execution, etc. - study Reports Online Help's documentation about SRW; perhaps you'll find something useful.

No,Thats a typo there in my message at what you quoted...
Actually it was like After/Before parameter and after report trigger.Nothing helpful.

This not for display purpose.
Report should write the message to a file.

Report should n`t be stopped.

I will get back here soon.
Anyway Thanks for your reply.

From your first message: what doesQuote:
If it like 150 then simple report builder closing with an error.
mean? "Error" is not a REP-XXXX error, is it? If query returns nothing because of an "invalid" parameter value (which, actually, causes nothing to be displayed), then you might create a text field and put "This not a Valid Dept" in there. Create a format trigger on that item which will check one of fields normally returned by report's query. Something like:
return (:some_field is null);
In other words: if query returns nothing, "some_field's" value will be NULL and format trigger will return TRUE, causing text item (and the message) to display. Otherwise, FALSE would prevent it to appear.

Once you have that text, you'd CSV it just as if it was a "normal" report result.

That?!? I can't believe it! Running a report for an invalid department number causes a report to crash? How weird ...

Do you use that value in one of PL/SQL report units? Do they handle "invalid" values properly? Such as exception handlers (NO_DATA_FOUND) and similar?

Also - as a rule of thumb - did you try to recompile all (Ctrl + Shift + K)?

Yes thats why I posted it here....

It is not for a simple report.
It is for Matrix report while generating csv output.
Even you can try by a sample matrix report on scott scheama for the invalid deptno for a csv.

I tried and tried and tried and "tired " with this... Sad
All you saying is just the basic fundamentals ofcours it(the error) looks look that.Don`t know what to do for this.

Hello,

you can try in this way.

Write a cursor in a formula column and check if the dept is existing in the database or not by writing a query and check the below condition

var deptexists;
if exists then
deptexists=1
else deptexists=0;

in the layout for all the fields and frames in the format triggers place a condition
if deptexists=0 then hide object;


take a user parameter depttest(initial value='No Dept Exists,Please try to execute report again!!!"

Place this paramter as source for one of the field in the layout and for this also write a format trigger as below:

if deptexists=1 then
hide object;

Hopefully this will satisfy your requirement.

I mentioned only the logic here., please check the syntax's

Thanks,
Lakshmi.
