Passing Null To Stored Procedure In Reporting Services
Jun 27, 2007
Hello,
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.
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.
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 am trying to read a flat file that contains a number like 256395 for example. I want to store this as a variable then pass it onto a stored procedure to run then saves the results to a flat file.
I have created CLR Stored Procedure and my CLR stored procedures are not appearing in the Stored Procedures drop-down list located on the Data tab within the VS2005 Business Intelligence Development Studio. After Creating the dll I have registered the dll like that CREATE ASSEMBLY MY_SP_NAME from 'C:MY_DLL_PATHMY_DLL_NAME.dll' WITH PERMISSION_SET = SAFEAfter registering I have deployed the dll :CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[MY_SP_NAME] @dbname [nvarchar](4000), @varTable [nvarchar](4000), .............. .............. ..............

Is there something I need to do to add these CLR stored procedures? Please please ASAP.
Hi all,I am using Stored procedure to design report instead of Query. Problem is i am unable to view the fields in the dataset. Any body please tell me the Steps to use Stored procedure in Reporting Services design. Regards.
I have a big SQL Stored Procedure which works with a cursor inside of it. During the procedure the data is inserted into a table and at the end is a SELECT statement from that table. The problem is that when i create a dataset with that stored procedure and i run it in the Data tab i get the correct select, but in the Fields section of the Report I don't get the fields from the last SELECT, but the fields from the cursor. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug and how can i fix it. Thanks!
Hello, I'm having some problems and I wonder if anyone can help me. I need to call a stored procedure to retrieve some data from the bank and use it in a report. I'm using oracle DB, but I'm not using ODBC, I'm using Oracle. I can call the SP using 2 commands: 1- in the dataset data form, I can select the command type as Stored Procedure and write the name of my procedure without the arguments, and then the VS ask for the arguments 2- in the same form, the command type as TEXT, i can use the syntax: call <SP name>(arguments)
My problems are: -in the first way, how can I programatically set the arguments to send? -in both of them, how can I define that the data that should be stored in the dataset is in the out cursor parameter?
I have stored procedures that will run fine from query analyzer windows, from other programs, etc. When I try to run the sp from vs 2005 form with in a SSRS project, the sp just hangs. It will not return any records and the app says "Not Responding. This does not happen for all SP's only some of them. Any ideas?
I am working with one example on SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. I have a stored procedure with two parameters. I want to call this stored procedure from SQL Server Reporting Services 2005.
CREATE PROCEDURE spEmp ( @id int, @name varchar(150) ) AS BEGIN SELECT EmpId, EmpName, EmpSal FROM Emp WHERE EmpId = @id AND EmpName = @name END
I want to pass
@id AND @name
parameters from reporting services form. Can you please give me link / article / steps to follow this in SQL SERVER REPORTING SERVICES 2005 ?

I have a stored procedure (sproc) Â running in Firebird Database. Now I try to use this sproc to build a report in the SSRS 2012 (SSDT) Report Designer.
After I connect to the dataset, and when I choose the Query Type as 'Stored Procedure', and type the name of  my sproc, and then go to the Query Designer, and click ! (F5)  ,  I get the following error:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Report Designer ------------------------------
An error occurred while executing the query. ERROR [HY000] [ODBC Firebird Driver][Firebird]Dynamic SQL Error SQL error code = -104 Token unknown - line 1, column 1 [sproc name]Â
how to resolve this? If its a T-SQL sproc, then it will be no issue; in this case, Â Firebird database connects to the SSRS via a 32-bit System ODBC connection.
When I proceed and click ok for everything, I get this error (after I exit the Query Designer), in the Dataset Properties tab:
"Could not update a list of fields for the query. Verify that you can connect to the data source and that your query syntax is correct."
The ODBC connection between SSRS and Firebird works fine. In fact I am able to run many queries as ad-hoc ones, Â but when I use the queries as sprocs, then this issue pops up.
how to handle Firebird stored procedures  in SSRS.
In my report i have CNAME parameter , which allows null value. I checked Allow null value check box in report parameter properties.
when i preview the report , it displays checked NULL check box beside CNAME parameter . I want to give some meaningful name(i.e.ALLCustomers) to this checkbox instead of NULL.Â
I have created a query in which I have used first_value, lead, lag windows functions. I tried using the query in SSRS query text, but for some reason it could not load. Then I created a stored procedure and implemented that query in stored proc.
The problem is that I am able to execute the stoured proc from sql server studio, but SSRS is not able to load data.
I used a stored procedure in my report. If I run the sp in Management Studio (on my pc, database is on a sql server) it takes only several minutes; but from reporting services (also on pc) I put it in the data tab and execute it, it takes forever, actually never finish. I want to know why it's taking so long to execute it from reporting services while it returns data instantly from Mgt Studio. There is cursor in the sp. I don't know whether this is the culprit. Anyone knows why? Thanks!
Below is the sp. --------------------------------------------------------------------
Created a report that displays the Maximum Response time (example of value 00:00:00) which is directly pulled from the Stored proc.When I ran the report, the column displays blank values.I am not sure if I should add any conversion to the Response value in the report.
I was wondering if it was possible to call reporting server web service directly from my sql server stored procedure. The call that I need to make to reporting web service needs to generate the report in a PDF format.
I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1, and BIDS 2008 SP1. The problem I am about to define does NOT happen when the report is deployed to the report server, but only within the report development environment (BIDS).
From within BIDS my reports are fed by stored procedures. The problem is when I modify a stored procedure in Management Studio, and refresh the report from within BIDS, the report does not reflect the new changes made in the stored procedure. So far I have found one clumsy solution to this problem:
1) Go to the folder where the project is saved on the file system.
2)Find the ".data" file that is associated to the particular report, then delete it. For instance, if my report name is TestReport.rdl, find the file named TestReport.rdl.data, then delete it.
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!

I have an issue with using multiple parameters in SQL Reporting services where data is passed in from a stored procedure
When running the report in design mode - I can type in a parameter sting and it runs fine
In the report preview screen I can select single parameters by ticking the drop down list and again it runs fine
as soon as I tick more than one I get an error
An error occurred during local report processing
Query execution failed for data set €˜data'
Must declare the scalar variable '@parameter'
Some info...
The dataset 'workshop' is using a sproc to return the data string?
I get multiple values back fine in the sproc using this piece of code
(select [str] from iter_charlist_to_table( @Parameter, DEFAULT) ))
I have report parameters set to Multi-Value
Looking through the online books it says...
You can define a multivalued parameter for any report parameter that you create.
However, if you want to pass multiple parameter values back to a query, the following requirements must be satisfied:
The data source must be SQL Server, Oracle, or Analysis Services. The data source cannot be a stored procedure. Reporting Services does not support passing a multivalued parameter array to a stored procedure. The query must use an IN clause to specify the parameter.
I am creating a drill through that will go out and find the correctreport out of 27 that equal my 2 parameters NAME_ID and DETAIL_ID.Does anyone out there have any ideas for me? I can make it conect to 1report. I do not know how to make it search for the correct report
Hello,My boss wants me to create a front end webpage for our ReportingServices reports that customers can log onto through a webform. I'm aPHP programmer, so I'd rather do this site and the authentication inPHP than learn .NET. The main problem I see is finding a way to passthe authentication to Reporting Services so that when a user runs areport, they are not asked to enter their password a second time.I don't even know where to start researching this problem... I've askedin PHP forums and they passed me to you guys. Any ideas?Andrew
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.
I am trying to run the report by passing the parameters using url.
[URL]
I get the error when I add the "Year" parameter in the above url, after adding this I get error "The full path must be less than 260 characters long; other restrictions apply. If the report server is in native mode, the path must start with slash. (rsInvalidItemPath)
Hi all. I can pass parameters from my front end(C#.net) to my reports(in Business Intelligence Project). I want the reverse of it. I want to pass parameter from my report to my windows application project.
I have an asp.net app that is calling a reporting service url. on that url I pass two parameters as query strings. In the Report I defined the query string parameters in the Report Parameters. I then want these two parameters to be passed to the stored procedure in the report. How can I make this happen? The parameters seem to get to the Report but I can't seem to get them mapped to the stored proc. In the data set I defined the stored procs parameters and mapped them to the corresponding Report Parameters but still no go.
I'm assuming there's something fundamental I'm missing here about passing parameters to reporting services.
I have a report that I'm trying to automate. Basically I want to create a cursor of containing authors, I want to run my report for that particular author, save the report, and move to the next author in the cursor. I want to continue this process until there's no more authors left in the table. Is this possible with reporting services 2005? If so how do I communicate the value from my cursor, to my report?
 Lob parameter is in the same dataset , But Year parameter is from different Dataset(Year_Param_DS).But If I am passing second parameter (Year) like Sum(Fields!Year_list.Value, "Year_Param_DS") i am not able to open the popup.
If i am removing the sum word Main report is giving an error that "Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current dataset scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified dataset scope."e syntax (I am working using MDX query) to pass two parameter through url, one from same dataset and 2nd is from another dataset.Or it is not possible to pass the value field from other Dataset in URL (Go to URL option).
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
