passing parameter from stored proc to crystal

Im using crystal 11.5.

Ive written a stored proc in my sybase DB which has 2 parameters, one for start date & one for end date. When I execute the proc on the DB I am prompted to enter values for my parameters.

Using an ODBC connection I am able to find my stored proc through crystal, however when I choose my proc, crystal is not prompting me to enter values for the parameters.

In the past Ive used crystal (versions 8 & 9) & when I select the stored proc, it always prompted me to enter values for the parameters.

What am I missing here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.check the sql statement in CR, also, are you using a Command ?,
if not, that may be the way you want to go. Lastly, you could just
add the parameter in CR and have CR prompt you for the date range.|||According to the crystal help, once you choose your stored proc from the list & add it to your report, crystal should prompt you to enter parameter values.

How do I get crystal to prompt me when I add the stored proc to the report?

Passing Out Parameter to Sybase Stored Proc from RS

I am defining the Output parameter from Sybase Stored Proc.
How can I define the OUT Parm in RS and display that parm result in Header?
Any help is appreciated.I don't think you can. Instead have your last statement be a select
statement.
BTW, did you solve the problem of what provider to use. Did you go with ODBC
or were you able to stick with OleDB.

We are sticking with OLE-DB.
The problem using OLE-DB was , I cannot pass char or varchar datatype as a
i/p parameter to a stored proc.
I got the alternate solution to this problem:
I can define the report as command type of "Text" and call the proc in the
following way:
="Proc_Name "+chr(34)+parameters!strParm.value+chr(34) + "," +
chr(34)+parameters!dtParm.value+chr(34)

I am trying to pass a string parameter to ASE OLE DB Provider for Sybase.
Where exactly do you use the syntax you mention below? The SQL pane in the
report designer does not appear to allow anything other than the string that
will be passed to the OLE DB provider (even quotes).
Thanks,
John

Personally I would use the & instead of a + sign. What he is doing is
enclosing any strings in single quote marks.
Also note that parameters are case sensitive.

Passing multiple parameters in CR

hi all i am using Sybase database with crystal reports 10. My problem is, i am not able to pass more than one parameter in the report. when i am trying to pass more than one parameter, i am getting a blank report.

I am able to generate a report when i am passing single parameter on a specific field in the report.

So can any one help me how to pass multiple parameters.

Thanks in advance

Reddy.I think there are no records that matches your parameterssql

Passing a parameter from main report SP to subreport SP

Hi,

I am using crystal reports 8.5

I have a report which has a subreport. The main report and the subreport are driven by two separate sybase SPs. The main report SP accepts 3 input parameters while the subreport SP accepts one.
One of the 3 input parameters of the main report SP is to be passed to the subreport SP as its input parameter.
So ideally when the report is run, it should ask for only 3 input params.

I tried to link the subreport. But somehow in the link box, I can't see the input parameter of the subreport which is what I want to link to the param of the main report.

Can anybody help ?

Thanks a lot,
AparnaYou can make use of Shared variables.
Assign parameter values to them and use them in subreports. Read it in help file
