How To Create A File With Header, Details & Footer
Aug 31, 2006
Hi All,
I need to create a query which gives me something like this
HH20060831160342
DDasb IT 3000
FF20060831160709000000001
Where 'HH' is the header(followed by Date and time) and 'FF' is the footer (followed by Date, time and no of records)and 'DD' has some details (few fields) from database.I am using UNION to get this result but the problem is that if the count in the footer is 0 then query should not give any output.but If I am using the following query
select 'HH'+convert(varchar,getDATE(),112)+replace(convert(varchar,getdate(),8),':','') as filename,'' as name,'' as dept,'' as sal
union all
select 'DD'+'',filename,dept,sal from emp where empno like '%1%'
union all
select 'FF'+convert(varchar,getDATE(),112)+replace(convert(varchar,getdate(),8),':','')+ REPLICATE(0, 9-len(COUNT(*)))+''+convert(VARchar(10),COUNT(*)) as filename,'' as name,'' as dept,'' as sal from emp where empno like '%1%'
I am getting the result as
HH20060831161226
FF20060831161226000000000
if the second select statement has no records
I have a custom code that can gets string from an array:
Public Shared FormatArray() As Object Public Shared Function GetFormat(ByVal _Col As Integer) As String Return FormatArray(_Col) End Function
However if I place the code in a Table details value expression =Code.GetFormat(0), It will give me #ERROR
But if I put in the Table Header row value, then it shows me the String correctly, same for in Footer of the table. Its only within the details rows that is not working
I have data arriving in fixed-width EBCDIC format. Each file contains one or more groups of records. Before and after each group there is a header/footer, which is not in the same layout as the records that it describes. Header, record and footer each have a different layout to the other but are consistent within themselves.
Thankfully the one thing header, footer and record layout have in common is their length, so at the moment, using the appropriate code page in the Flat File Connection Manager, I'm able to read all the columns as strings. The headers and footers just come through, albeit a bit weird looking, and I can filter them out with a conditional splt.
However, the header contains information that needs to be appended to each record in the group. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to achieve this? I'm trying to avoid developing a custom data source for this task but, if there's no other way, has anyone done it and do they have any tips?
I have a report that is being called via stored proc, and i want to group by contract. when report gets generated i get multiple contracts info. but will be grouped/sorted by contract.
please how can i have a group header and also a group footer to show a summary of each contract information with some calculated fields in it.
i may get 100 records related to 10 contracts , 10 rows for each contract.
as soon as the first contract info is shown on the report it has to show a summary related to the first contract in the group footer, and then continue populating the second contract info and so on.
Please i am totally new to reporting and help would be appreciated. thank you all.
I am new to SSRS 2005 and so far the only way I can figure out how to edit groups in a table is to right click on the group header or footer and select Edit Group. But how would you edit the group if you chose to not have a header or footer? And how would you delete the group for that matter? I'm looking for something like the Crystal Reports Group Expert.
I want to display a header group in a table but only in the first page. I saw the option Repeat group header in the group properties but if I don't check that option the space of the header disapear. I want to show the header in the first page and a blank space in the rest of page.
The problem I am running into is I want to make sure the header/footer is on each next page,if the grade report goes more than 1 page (so pages aren't separated from each other or mixed up). I could put a textfield as a footer at the bottom the list control but that would just appear at whatever length page 2 ended up being (basically you could have a "footer" at mid-page if the whole list only took up 1.5 pages).
I have been struggling to get this right in Integration Services, Would really appreciate the help.
Basically I have a file with fixed length columns that I would like to import into my database using Integration Services, the file looks something like this
What I need to find out is how do I import the data, the name and surname and telephone no, but skip the header and footer records. Also I need to be able to use the header and footer data for later use.
Is there a way to dynamically make report header and footer fields change location (or size)? I have many matrix reports that grow in width and then the header and footers do not look good.
Another example is I have a line that is in the header...I would like this to grow to the width of the report, which again is not static on a matrix report.
I accidentally unclicked the check-boxes for group-header and group footer - I meant to leave the group header in. Now, I can't get to the group to edit it! Is there any way I can get back to it?
When I try to use (from page header or footer) a parameter or global or a function I wrote, I get the error below. Anyone got any ideas? Other reports within the VS 2005 project don't have this problem. Thanks....
An unexpected error occurred in Report Processing. Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I'm a bit stumped at this. I have done this before a bunch of times. The difference is that this time I have two rectangles in the footer. For the each, the visibility is set to an expression which checks whether the page is page 1 or 2. If it is 1, the first rectangle is visible, if 2, the second. When I reference the hidden fields on the main area of the report via ReportItems, they come through fine on the first rectangle, but are invisible on the second. I've tried the same exact fields and every time they are visible in rectangle1, and invisible in rectangle2. What is going on here???
A space was added as the first character of the contents in the Left, Center and Right section of the Report Header and Footer exported to Excel. Example :
In the RDL, Header values are:
Left = "Product Report" ; Center = "Confidential" ; Right = "Page n of n"
In the exported report to Excel, Header properties (-->File.-->Page Setup--> Header/Footer Tab) are:
Left = " Product Report" ; Center = " Confidential" ; Right = " Page n of n"
I have a record in an Excel format (Excel 2010) and I would like to bulk import that into SQL Server 2008 and also while importing, SQL Server will automatically create a new table based on the header fields or row of the source file.
I am not sure if SQL Server 2008 has this capabilities.
SET @RowCnt = 1 SET @date = CONVERT(CHAR(10),GETDATE(),110) SET @ArchPath = '\D$EDATAWorkFoldersSendSendData' SELECT @TotalRows = count(*) FROM table1 --select @ArchPath
WHILE (@RowCnt <= @TotalRows) BEGIN SELECT @AccountNumber = AccountNumber, @output_filename FROM table1 WHERE Identity_Number = @RowCnt --PRINT @AccountNumber --test SELECT @sql = N'bcp "SELECT h.HeaderText, d.RECORD FROM table2 d INNER JOIN table3 h ON d.HeaderID = h.HeaderID WHERE d.ccountNumber = ''' + @AccountNumber+'''" queryout "'+@ArchPath+ @output_filename + '.txt" -T -c' --PRINT @sql EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @sql SELECT @RowCnt = @RowCnt + 1 END
I am having a main report having two subreports, say M1,S1 and S2 respectively.
The issue is S2 normally tend to go beyond one page, for all pages except first page of the of the subreport I am getting the page header and footer blank,
Actually this is not loading the ReportItems that are used in main report but it shows text boxes containing strings for eg . "My Name" and date functions eg Today()
I'm using VS 2005 to build a SQL Server reporting Services report. The wizard works great and prompts me to build my results query and then select fields to group the report by.
I'm using the 3 groups as follows:
Page: Product / Model name Group: Serial No Details: Orders
Here's the problem. I also want to show my order lines as there is another linked table connected to my order table which holds all order line items. Classic order - line example.
How can I modify the details section to show my line items, as well as not show empty rows when no line items exist?
Hi,I am trying to use BULK INSERT with format file. All of our data hasfew bytes of header in the data file which I would like to skip beforedoing BULK INSERT.Is it possible to write format file to skip these few bytes ofheader before doing BULK INSERT? For example, I have a 1 GB data filewith 1000 byte header. Except for first 1000 bytes, rest of the data isgood for BULK INSERT.Thanks in advance. Sorry if it is really a dumb question as I am newto BULK INSERT and practicing still.Bob
I have a client that requres me to add a header line and trailer line to a flat file. The trick is the header and footer row is required to have a length of 120 with 5 colunmns while the data included in the query has a length of 1125 and about 70 columns. How can I append a header row to a file through SSIS.
I have a header and detail table. I want to create a constraint on the detail table, based on a value it's linked to in the header table. If the bit is checked in header then a unique value is required , if it's not checked then a NULL value is acceptable.
When you run a deployed package manually, there is a nice load of information output showing you what is going on, this would be very good log file info. Is there anyway to write the same output to a log file when the package is run as a Job from SQL Agent?
I have a tsql script that gets the data I need, into the format I need, and saves it in a format (.output) I needI also have a script that creates a header for the report, basically its just a name and rowcount() that also works fine.PROBLEM: If I combine them using UNION, I have to pad out the header report with NULL columns, and it messes up the layout of the report.Anyone have a simple way to do this?here's my code:SELECT 'A71310000'+ltrim(Str(count(UserName))) + 'HRBATCH' AS header, NULL as col2, NULL as col3, NULL as col4, NULL as col5, NULL as col6, NULL as col7, NULL as col8FROM db_owner.PS_HR_HrsWHERE Reported is NULLUNION ALLSELECT EmplID, Convert(VarChar,DateWorked,111),'STSSH', CAST(REPLACE(STR(HoursWorked,9, 5), SPACE(1), '0') AS nchar(9)), HRAccountCode, CAST(REPLACE(STR(EmployeePayRate,18, 6), SPACE(1), '0') AS nchar(18)), 'A_STUDSUM', HRAccountCodeOverrideFROM db_owner.PS_HR_HrsWHERE reported is NULL What I need it to look like is: A713100007HRBATCH
10068800 2007/06/05STSSH002.00000 A108145 00000000007.500000 A_STUDSUM ...(this is a ragid right with spaces padding out fixed width columns) THANKS for ANY light ANYONE can shed on this.
In my SSIS Package, I have to write my [FileHeaderRecord] row, then my [BatchHeaderRecord] row, then my details. How can I do this in a SQL Server Query? When I try my SSIS, my file looks like so..
FHTEST 00000208262015 BH000208262015
I want my BH, Batch Header data, to appear on a new row in the file.Do I have to build a dynamic query to do this?Is there any trick in SSIS to do something like this?I did try creating separate Data Flow Tasks to Query the [FileHeaderRecord] and then use a Flat File Destination and then another Data Flow Task to Query the [BatchHeaderRecord] and use a Flat File Destination again NOT overwriting the file.
I have a parent a package which contains a bunch of Execute Package tasks. The parent package sets a variable which contains the directory for writing logs to. Each child is configured to write logs to a text file, and uses a connection manager for doing so. The connection manager uses an expression for setting the connection string, and in this expression the log directory varaible is used (e.g. @[User::LogDir] + "\FileName.log").
Now the problem is this, when I run the ETL, I'm getting 2 set of log files for each package: one log file is created in C: and the other in the correct dirctory. Each log in C: just contains a single header row, and the corresponding log file in the logging dir contains the log data (including the header row). Even though the filename is specified in an expression, a value for the connection string appears in the properties for the connection manager ("Filename" which probably where the C: log files are coming from). I can't seem to remove this value, and I don't want to hard-code it to a fixed path. I've also set DelayValidation to True, with no luck. I feel I must be missing something obvious, any suggestions? Thanks!
I have around 500 packages (SQL 2005) deployed in file system & all this packages are running on daily basis via SQL agent. Now I need to migrated all 500 packages into SQL server 2008 R2.
There is no inventory to track which package belogs to which team and any other information.
Now, I need a method to query the pakages connection string details with database respective. Is there any method?
used bcp utility to send data to output file in tab-delimited format (-t ), but headerfile is separate entity in this query.
when I set FILEheader = firstname,lastname...what must I use to change the comma to tab in the header string. I have tried various ways , {t}, [-t], and others. what am I missing?
