i am currently having a problem passing a data_parameter to an
oracle report (2.5) from an oracle form (1.2).
i am receiving a rep-1304 error, indicating that the columns of
the record group do not match the columns of the query in the
report.
the query in the report is a single table select, with only one
group. i have narrowed it down to a couple of factors that
cause the error. when i include a formula column in the group
the error occurs. or when the query creates new column names as
a result of joining the table to itself. in both cases the record
group columns created in the form match exactly to the group in
the report query, column name and type.
it seems that when the column in the report query group does not
have a name from the database, the data_parameter fails.
does anybody know if oracle reports can handle data_parameters
under these conditions? if it cannot it would be nice to know,
my forehead is getting very sore from all the banging against my
desk. if it can, any pointers on what i might be doing wrong?
thx in advance,
