[CLOSED] Generate A Report Using WebFOCUS Procedure and Oracle SQL Queries
Hi, I am trying to use App Studio 8.2.0.1 to generate a report in the way Oracle PL/SQL does. I know that it is very easy to get this done using an Oracle PL/SQL procedure on database side. We have a justification to do this report with App Studio.

We have the following three separate SQL queries:

SQL query 1 will get a start date 04/01/2018
SQL query 2 will get an end date 07/31/2018
SQL query 3 will get credit days for each month from start date to end date

We want to generate the following report with App Studio.

Month Credit Days Projected End Date

April 5 07/26/2018 --(07/31/2018-5)
May 20 07/06/2018 --(07/26/2018-20)
June 20 06/16/2018 --(07/16/2018-20)
July 20 --(No need to list as no credit days after the projected end date)

I've never tried it but I think you'll need to use SQL Passthru for the first two. Please update when you find the technique. I'd like to see how you crack this.

Hi CD

Welcome to Focal Point, it is a great place to get answers to your development questions.

This appears to be a report with multiple date ranges in the result set. If so this would be a iterative process based on how many time periods you want to report against. Maybe if you posted the existing SQL we could see how it is done today and recommend a way for WebFOCUS to simulate.


Thank you for using Focal Point!
