[SOLVED]Issue with passing date in drilldown report

Hello,

I have a very standard SQL pass-thru report which has an ID column with a drilldown link to a detail report. Along with the ID column, I also have to pass the date from another column on the main report. I am facing issues with passing the date to the detail report.

Both reports have a simple SQL:
Main report SQL:
SELECT * FROM TABLE
WHERE DATE = TRUNC(SYSDATE)-5

Sample main report:
ID_NUM DATE NAME ADDR PHONE EMAIL .....
(Drilldown link)

MY drilldown statement:
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=ID_NUM, FOCEXEC=DETAIL_REPORT(ID_NUM = ID_NUM DATE = DATE), $

Detail Report SQL:
SELECT * TABLE_B
WHERE ID_NUM = &ID_NUM
AND DATE = &DATE


I get the error:
(FOC1400) SQLCODE IS 907 (HEX: 0000038B)
 : ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
 : Error context area: 017/09/20 00:00:00)
 L    (FOC1405) SQL PREPARE ERROR.
 0 ERROR AT OR NEAR LINE     12  IN PROCEDURE threshold_report_detail
 (FOC205) THE DESCRIPTION CANNOT BE FOUND FOR FILE NAMED: SQLOUT
 0 ERROR AT OR NEAR LINE     15  IN PROCEDURE threshold_report_detail
 (FOC205) THE DESCRIPTION CANNOT BE FOUND FOR FILE NAMED: SQLOUT
 BYPASSING TO END OF COMMAND


I tried so many things with the date field, like passing DATE.EVAL in the FOCEXEC statement, also tried TO_DATE ('&DATE', 'YYYYMMDD') in the SQL of the detail report, but nothing works.. get a new error everytime...

How can I pass a date value successfully for the detail report to filter on?

Thanks in advance!

Are you missing the FROM in the SQL statement?

Hi Francis,

I do have a FROM statement in my SQL, I think I just missed typing it here..

Any idea how do I pass the date so as to avoid SQL errors?

Thanks!

As this is SQL passthru I would suggest doing -
  • viewing the source HTML to see what anchor link is being produced
  • an &ECHO = ON to see what is being produced by WebFOCUS
  • capturing the SQL trace to see what is finally being passed to your RDBMS


then compare to see if you can spot where the problem is.

Try putting single quotes around the date variable.
 
SELECT * 
FROM TABLE_B
WHERE ID_NUM = &ID_NUM
AND DATE = '&DATE'


Also double check the value of your variable. It looks like in the error that the date is a bit funky. like the year is missing the 2 for 2017

: Error context area: 017/09/20 00:00:00)


If your are using SQL Server, in the first SQL try the following to get the current date using T-SQL expression.

SELECT * FROM TABLE
WHERE DATE = CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE)

Oops, nevermind. I see that you are querying an Oracle DB

Thank you all for your help!

I used the &ECHO=ON to figure out the issue - since my date field was a date-time column, I Just used HDATE function to convert it to a date only column and then passed that to the SQL in the detail report.

I was using &ECHO=ALL and I think I wasn't really getting what I wanted to see.

Thanks again everyone for helping me out Smiler
