Report handling names with a single quote
584436Aug 13 2009 — edited Aug 14 2009Report 10gR2
I have created a report and most of the functionality that i want is working as expected.
I have a report where i am letting user enter their first name on one field and last name on another field in the parameter screen ( thats how it's stored in the database)
If they enter any name with an aphostrophe , say D'Costa ( either first name or last name)
then i get the below error
REP-50003: Bad parameter: pfaction=http://.........
I am using like keyword as seen below in the afterparam trigger and passing the parameter :p_where_last_name to the main sql query
:p_where_last_name := ' AND UPPER( :last_name) LIKE (' ||''''||'%'||UPPER(:last_name)||'%'||''''||')' ;
Whats the best approach to handle this issue
Also is there a way to capture this error
' REP-50003: Bad parameter: pfaction=http://.........
' and display a message, if so where and how, please advise.
thanks.
