Hi all

Need some help from u guys. This is an interesting one.
I am working on a report with multiple layouts. Based on some conditions I'm suppressing the other ayouts.

The report has 2 parameters
Layout- the user has the choice to select from 1 and 2 this is a drop down list

Order By, for layout 1, the user can choose from Item Number or Valuation Change,Item Number.

Order by for layout2 is Product Group, Product Code, Product Line
Order by is also a drop down list.

Since the order by user can select it, is dynamically built in after param form

Now comes the interesting part.

If the user selects layout as 1 then order by should
display Item Number or Valuation Change>

and it should supress Product code, Product type,Product line
and vice-versa. How do I do this???

Hi Kartar,

I think what you can do is make two different repeating frames in the layout depending upon the users choise. you can then 'display(true)' or 'display(false)' from the format editor accordingly.

hope this helps,

alka

Hi Kartar,
If you are saying you want to restrict second parameter LOV based on the value of first parameter(also called conditional LOV) you can't do it in reports. This is a limitation.
Instead you can make the report having
where condition orderby etc., as lexical parameter
and use an Oracle Form to write ur own program
that feeds the parameters and develop "where condition in the background" and call report
through Run Product along with Lex. Parameter.
Didn't get it? mail me I will let u know
