I have a number Stored Procs that have been around for a while that pull the entire list, or if I pass an ID, will just the record for that ID like below.
I want to be able to use these querries to poplate Multi-Select parameter dropdowns. going to the Data tab and creating a new dataset, I put in the SP name, and close the window. I then go to the Red ! point to preview the data it prompts me for my ID parmaeter on my SP. In the dropdown list it has '<Null>' (no ' though). When I run it, it works fine and returns all of my records.
When I run the report, it errors saying I didn't pass a parm for ID. I go back to the data tab, and edit my DataSet hitting the elipse. I go to the 3 tab called parameters, and type the following I get the following errors:
@ID= ---- ERROR - Return statement in function must return a value
@ID = Null -----ERROR - Null constant not supported use System.DBNull instead
@ID = System.DBNull ----ERROR - [BCS30691] DBNull is a type in System and cannot be used in an expression
@ID=System.DBNull.Value --- NO ERROR, but it does not return anything either. I also did a SQL Trace, and I can see that it doesn't even send the querry to the database.
Does anyone know another magic value I can pass to get this to work?
I am being a little stuborn, I know that I could just create new procs, and wrap up the null, but the more stuff you create the more you have to maintain, so I would prefer to reuse these.
Thanks in advance.

PS: My company is moving from crystal reports to Reporting service, and Reporting services is Rocks! It is very intuitve, simple and straign forward. The formatting is easy with the table and the matrix control blows away the crosstab control in crystal. Also, I'm finding that because crystal was so un extendable, that I would spend hours shaping sql to get over it's blemishes, and hours shaping it in the report, only to sometimes reliaze that the proposed onetime hack wouldn't work, and have to start all over! So far with RSS any tips and tricks I have learned can very easily be applied to any report I work on! Aslo, I do mostly interanet web apps, and it is nice to dump my reports on the Report Server, and not worry about haing to create a web page, create a datasource and all the ansilary stuff to go along with it. The only thing I don't like is the name 'Roporting Services': It does not stick out too far in Google Searches like 'AJAX.NET' or 'ASP.NET'. Anyway kudoes to the Reporting Services team!

Im trying to pass a integer parameter to my dataset query depending on the selection made from the user. It is suppose to get the Top number off records based on what number the user chooses
I get the error Incorrect syntax near '@Param_TopNo, If i take the top @param_topno out the query works
The cutdown version off the query is...
Select Top @Param_TopNo SaleDate, Consultant, Productname
From tblSales
where product = 2000
Im not sure if the method above is even achievable !!!! does anyone know how i can pass a variable/parameter into my dataset and maybe provide an example off the code.
I've seen questions similar to this posted, but I'm unable to find a clear answer to what I need to do.
We are currently using Crystal Reports, generating a dataset in our application and passing it to Crystal. Due to the many problems we have with Crystal we are now looking to move to Reporting Services 2005, but I can't find out how to pass it a dataset.
Although we do use SQL Server for data storage, we have many reports with calculations that are way too complicated to use calculated fields, and which change too often to want to store them in the database. One solution might be to store the data temporarily and regenerate it each time it's required, but this doesn't seem very elegant. So please could someone tell me if there is a way to do what I'm after and point me at a page that gives a nice clear explanation.
HI everyone; i have a problem , is there a possible to pass a dataset to a ssrs report programmatically ? or at runtime without specifying it at design time ...
I have many MS Access reports that process recordsets obtained from a MySQL database, based on a user-selected date range. This uses VBA and input boxes. I'm now creating .aspx pages to get the user input via the web, and am successful in creating a DataSet. My .aspx.vb code includes using Automation to open the Access report in Snapshot Viewer (DoCmd.OutputTo). How do I pass the DataSet to MS Access to replace using recordsets?
My VBA code in Access used to be this:
Code Snippet
Dim ws As Workspace Dim strConnection As String Dim dbs As Database
Set dbs = ws.OpenDatabase("", True, True, strConnection)
Set rst_chg = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT ...")
'process the recordset ...
I'm thinking I should be able to eliminate most of this code and Set rst_chg = DataSet. I've been successful with using WriteXml in the .aspx.vb page and Application.ImportXML in my VBA to pass the data using XML, but this writes to the hard drive, and also creates a database in Access (overhead I would rather not have to deal with). Again, is there a way to open the DataSet directly in my VBA code?
Member [Measures].[Measure3] As [Measures].[Value Rent Period Receipts] Member [Measures].[Measure4] As (([Measures].[Value Rent Period Receipts]*-1)/[Measures].[Value Rent Period Debit])
There are two parameters; the value of lag passed to the LastPeriods function, and tenancy types passed in the where clause
I have a third parameter I would like to use called FirstDate and this I would like to pass to the LastPeriods function as the second argument
FirstDate is a value from my Time dimension, something like [Time].[Fiscal Time].[Sep. 15]
When editing the query to: -
Member [Measures].[Measure3] As [Measures].[Value Rent Period Receipts] Member [Measures].[Measure4] As (([Measures].[Value Rent Period Receipts]*-1)/[Measures].[Value Rent Period Debit]) Select {[Measures].[Measure1] ,[Measures].[Measure2]
[Code] ....
The code errors. I have tried all sorts of formats such as LastPeriods(@LagMonths,[@FirstDate]) and LastPeriods(@LagMonths,[Time].[Fiscal Time].[@FirstDate]), but nothing works
How can I pass a parameter used for the DataSet query? I'm using this DataSet file as data source of my .rdlc report for Windows Forms.
I've already done a .rdlc report to Web Forms where I passed the query parameter by ObjectDataSource.SelectParameters, but in Windows Forms this object was not created. I just hava the following created objects:
I have a report that prompts the user to select a parameter, for simplicity, let's say the parameter is for color choice, options are Red, Yellow, Blue or *. The * is for include all colors. I am passing that parameter back to the dataset query which, again for simplicity is
select Hue from AvailableColors whereColor = @ColorParam.
For a specific color this works fine, for the "*" selection it returns a null. It would seem that I need to convert the * to % but I am not sure how.....
I keep getting "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: dataSet" when I run this statement and bind it to a dataset using a sqldataadapter in ASP.NET using VB.NET.
"SELECT playerstats.playerid, playerstats.gameid, SUM(playerstats.fta), SUM(playerstats.ftm), SUM(playerstats.tpm), SUM(playerstats.rb), SUM(playerstats.fga), SUM(playerstats.fgm), SUM(playerstats.tp), SUM(playerstats.st), SUM(playerstats.a), 100(SUM(playerstats.fgm)/SUM(playerstats.fga)) AS fgp, player.playerid, player.lname + ', ' + player.fname AS fullname FROM playerstats, player WHERE playerstats.playerid = player.playerid AND player.leagueid = " & ddlLeague.SelectedValue & " ORDER BY " & strSortField
I would like to display the first non null value from my dataset, is this possible? I am aware of first() and last() but what are my options for displaying the aforementioned? Thanks much!
I am plotting this data set as an S-Curve using the Running Value funtion. The value and data point value is =RunningValue(Fields!X15ForecastsCounts.Value,Sum,"Series") similar code for X16Actuals Counts.
Unfortunately I am getting the curve like this http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=4lyiuko
I dont want my X16ActualsCounts to extend beyond 8/6/07 in this case....and next week I dont want it to extend beyond 8/13/07.
I need to find out how I can detect a NULL dataset at runtime. I have just released my first report using SQLServer Reporting services and all went well until I had an empty dataset on the server. There was no problem ever on my development system, running under Visual Studio 2005 Pro, even if I got no data back. Shortly after release to the server though I found that the report reported javascript errors. After a lot of searching I nailed it down to my code that alternated the background color of the rows in the report. The code looks like this:
=iif( RowNumber("DataRecords") Mod 2, "WhiteSmoke", "White")
I had this line in the BackGround property for my table row. It works great, unless DataRecords is Null and RowNumber is 0. I ended up taking the expression out, because I could not find a way to test if DataRecords was null or RowNumber was 0, without getting a compiler error.
Can anyone here tell me what I need to do so I can put that expression back in and alternate the color of my data rows again? I get the data using a stored procedure, if that matters.
I currently have a stored procedure that looks something like this SELECT * FROM tblQuestions WHERE Title LIKE ISNULL('%'+@Name+'%', Title)I have a form that supplies this value. This statement should make it so that if a NULL value is passed in, then it will return all the rows, if some text is specified, then it will not. On my SQLDataSource on the page where the parameter is supplied I have set ConvertEmptyStringsToNull to True, but when I say in my code,SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters.Add("@Name", TextBox1.Text);It won't give me back any of the rows, I know that the stored procedure works fine because I can get it to work by a basic query and other testing on it, so somewhere in my form, the NULL value isn't being passed, I belive that it is passing an empty string and I don't know why. Thank you in advance /jcarver
HI, I am using XmlDataDocuments returned by webservices and query in the reports to populate the reports.
The issue I have is if the dataset used to populate the XML document has any nulls or empty spaces in any field the whole column or row is missing in the data generated by my query in the Reports. Sometimes the whole data is not being returned to the reports.
I have tested the webservice with sample data and it works well, returns data.
I use the ISNULL() in my stored procedures to avoid nulls but with empty strings, replacing them with a default value in the managed code is expensive and slows down the reports. Is there some feature I am missing because of which nulls and empty strings are causing this problem.
I am using a SQLDataSource with Stored Procedures. The Select, Insert and Update all work well. However I cannot get the delete to work. My stored procedures are tested and verified and the parameter names are the same as the source columns. When I try to run the delete an error that the stored procedure expects the parameter @locationStationId, however this value passes properly for the Update command?!? I tried to change the parameter to original_locationStationID to pass the original value, however this result in Null being passed for the parameter. I cannot understand why this works for Update and passes the location ID, but will not work for DELETE. Can anyone shed any light onto the matter? Thanks.OldValuesParameterFormatString="original_{0}" UpdateCommand="spUpdateLocation" UpdateCommandType="StoredProcedure" DeleteCommand="spDeleteLocation" DeleteCommandType="StoredProcedure"> <DeleteParameters> <asp:Parameter Name="locationStationId" Type="String" /> </DeleteParameters> <InsertParameters> <asp:Parameter Name="locationStationId" Type="String" /> <asp:Parameter Name="locationType" Type="String" /> <asp:Parameter Name="locationName" /> <asp:Parameter Name="division" Type="String" /> </InsertParameters>
how can i pass null value to database? date is not required field in my database. i can pass default date but i think default date is not good in my case as it is DOB of a customer.
I have an ASP.Net page that needs to sometimes pass a null parameter value to the querystring. It bombes out with an error that a date cannot be "" and that i need to supply the date.
Has any1 been able to get this right? How does one pass a null date through the querystring?
We have a package with a package variable. This variable is of data-type 'DateTime'. However, when i try to pass the value 'NULL' the package fails... i use the following statement with 'dtexec.exe'
/SET Package.Variables[MyDate].Value;"NULL"
What's the correct syntax for passing null-values? But maybe (because i cannot find anything on this) i should ask if this is even possible...
Hi,I have a stored procedure which expects a Null value if a user does not enter something into a TextBox. The query should return all rows if this case.The stored procedure works as expected in Query Analyzer, but my application does not seem to send a Null and no rows are returned. Any ideas?Thanks.ps I am using SqlDataSource and GridView, this is the first time I have tried to connect to a database with asp.net.
Version: ASP.Net 2.0Language: C#Hello Everyone!I'm saving data from a function to an SQL Server 2000 db via a stored procedure. There are a few fields which are conditional and thus need not be passed to the procedure everytime. Under those circumstances I need to store null values in the fields.The problem is if I the value of the parameter as null, VS throws the error that a required parameter is not passed. I tried setting 'IsNullable' property of the parameter to true but it works for only those fields who are declared NULL in the stored procedure (For e.g. @DOB DATETIME = NULL).Strangely, this works well in classic ASP.Does anyone know how to accomplish this? Note, altering stored procedures is not an option for me.Thanks a lot!
Hello,I'm trying to pass a null object to a stored procedure to update a SQL Table boolean field with a null value. My SQL Table boolean column allows nulls.I'm using an InfoObject which has several properties all corresponding to fields in the SQL Table. One of those fields is a boolean. I create an instance of the InfoObject in my code and assigns values to the various properties. The boolean property in question (call it InfoOjbect.BooleanProperty) is not assigned anything. I then call my StoredProcedure passing the InfoObject to it (using the DotNetNuke DAL architecture) and the final result is the Table's boolean column is populated with a 0 and not a NULL. If I explicitly define the InfoObject.BooleanProperty = null.nullboolean before passing it to the Stored Procedure, the same thing happens. How do I pass a null to the SQL database for a boolean field? I've tried making InfoObject.BooleanProperty = dbnull.value but it won't let me do this saying "dbnull cannot be converted to a boolean." Do I have to explicitly create my InfoObject properties to allow for a null to be assigned to it?Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using the DotNetNuke DAL architecture passing my InfoObject through a dataprovider to the sqldataprovider which calls the SQL Stored Procedure to add the new record to the Table.Thanks in advance for any help.
I'm not sure if this question should be in this thread but anyway...
I have a form (Mricosoft Access front end) in which the user enter a Pending Date in one of the fields. The date is populated into my backend (SQL Server) withouht problems. Whenever the issue which had the pending date in the field is resolved I'd like to delete this date from this field and also from the back end. At the moment I'm not being able to pass the "value" Null to my back end (probably because it's a datetime type). I've searched the net throughout and I couldn't find a way around it. Only found solution to when the data is not date but numbers/letters, etc... Any ideas on how can I sort this out?
I have a table adapter for one of my SQL2005 tables, and in two different fields I accept a date time. Now 99% of the times, new rows to this table will be filled out using DateTIme.Now(), as a Time Stamp is what I'm going for.
Here is the line of code in question...cops_current_data_adapter.Insert(ProductOrder, Convert.ToInt16(Session["StationId"].ToString()), PartNumber, DateTime.Now, DateTime.Now, Convert.ToInt16(qty), 0); The second DateTime.Now is the one that can be null, and it's throwing a formatting error everytime I try and drop it in there. It's a FormatException, and there's not much more to the example except unhelpful tips like be careful when conveting a string to a dateTime, which I'm not doing. Needless to say for the code to compile, and then throw a Format error at runtime is a bit frustraiting. Any suggestions would be most appreciated
I have a report. I need to make a drop-down parameter optional. I've setup the parameter to use a dataset as its source, and I need to allow the value to be null. I've selected allow nulls check box, and I've even tried setting the default value to System.DBNull.Value. But, when the entry is not selected (blank), no data ever comes back. If the data is blank or null, my procedure works (I've tested it). How do I send a null value to the database through reporting services report? I was hoping to avoid creating a special query just for that purpose.
I have a data-driven subscription (DDS) stored procedure that gets called when a subscription fires and returns parameters to a report. One of the parameter values I want to return is NULL, which also happens to be the default value of the corresponding report parameter.
When I set the report parameter to use the default value (NULL) when setting up the subscription in Report Manager, the subscription works fine. When I try to pass the NULL value from the DDS proc to the report, the subscription fails.
I do not know what the error logs say. I've rarely looked at them and what I have seen seems a bit cryptic. I've narrowed down through trial-and-error that passing the NULL value is the issue.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and do you have a resolution?
Hey. I need to substitute a value from a table if the input var is null. This is fine if the value coming from table is not null. But, it the table value is also null, it doesn't work. The problem I'm getting is in the isnull line which is in Dark green color because @inFileVersion is set to null explicitly and when the isnull function evaluates, value returned from DR.FileVersion is also null which is correct. I want the null=null to return true which is why i set ansi_nulls off. But it doesn't return anything. And the select statement should return something but in my case it returns null. If I comment the isnull statements in the where clause, everything works fine. Please tell me what am I doing wrong. Is it possible to do this without setting the ansi_nulls to off??? Thank you
set ansi_nulls off

I have a report with multiple datasets, the first of which pulls in data based on user entered parameters (sales date range and property use codes). Dataset1 pulls property id's and other sales data from a table (2014_COST) based on the user's parameters. I have set up another table (AUDITS) that I would like to use in dataset6. This table has 3 columns (Property ID's, Sales Price and Sales Date). I would like for dataset6 to pull the Property ID's that are NOT contained in the results from dataset1. In other words, I'd like the results of dataset6 to show me the property id's that are contained in the AUDITS table but which are not being pulled into dataset1. Both tables are in the same database.
I have a small number of rows in a dataset, Table 1. There is a CLOB on a large dataset, Table 2. They join on a PK. I would like to retrieve this CLOB and add it to the data flow for Table1. In short I want to emulate the following:
Table 1: Small table without CLOB, 10 rows. Table 2: Large table with CLOB, 10,000,000 rows
select CLOB from table2 where pk = (select pk from table1)
I want this to return the CLOBs for the small number of rows in Table 1. The PK is indexed obviously so it should be a fast look up.
Table 1 and Table 2 live on different Oracle databases. How do I perform this operation efficiently in SSIS? It seems the Lookup and Merge Join wont do this.

I found out the data I need for my SQL Report is already defined in a dynamic dataset on another web service. Is there a way to use web services to call another web service to get the dataset I need to generate a report? Examples would help if you have any, thanks for looking
