Hello Guru's,

Can some one please help me out on the below issue?

i have a requirement that i need to display the totals at the last page. i am carry forwarding the totals to the last page but the totals are incorrect. from my investigation i found that the problem is, it is excluding the amounts where it has comma in it.

Ex. <Amount>10</Amount>
<Amount>20</Amount>
<Amount>1,000</Amount>

the total should be 1030 but it is excluding the 1,000 and showing the total as 30.

thanks,

I don't use XML Publisher so this is probably useless, but nevertheless ... maybe it'll give you a hint.

Can't you use the REPLACE function here, and replace a comma with nothing? Here's an example: I created a table that contains your sample data; here's query that selects amounts:
SQL> select extractvalue(col, 'root/Amount[' || level || ']') val
  2  from test
  3  connect by level <= (select count(*)
  4                       from test,
  5                            table(xmlsequence(extract(test.col, '//Amount'))));

VAL
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10
20
1,000

SQL>

Now, apply the REPLACE function to the 'VAL':
SQL> select replace(extractvalue(col, 'root/Amount[' || level || ']'), ',', '') val
  2  from test
  3  connect by level <= (select count(*)
  4                       from test,
  5                            table(xmlsequence(extract(test.col, '//Amount'))));

VAL
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10
20
1000

SQL>

That's much better; now, let's sum those values:
SQL> select sum(replace(extractvalue(col, 'root/Amount[' || level || ']'), ',', '')) val
  2  from test
  3  connect by level <= (select count(*)
  4                       from test,
  5                            table(xmlsequence(extract(test.col, '//Amount'))));

       VAL
----------
      1030

SQL>


Shortly, you'd SUM ( REPLACE ( EXTRACTVALUE ) ).

Thanks for the reply. As you said we can do it in oracle by using functions but in XML Publisher i tried in doing the sum and replacing. nothing worked for my result.

Would you mind to share it with the community? Someone else might have the same problem and would benefit from your answer.

Sure thing. Created a variable at the top of the RTF and by using translate function removed the comma to add the amounts.
<?init-page-total:Total?> (At starting of the RTF).

Use the below to remove the comma and add the amounts.
<?add-page-total:Total;translate(LINE_AMOUNT,',','')?>

Thanks,
