Crystal Reports Additional Functions you can add to Crystal Reports

Introduction - what are UFLs?


The formula language of Crystal Reports is expandable. The Formula Editor has
the ability to accept new functions created by developers for specific needs. We
refer to these new functions as additional user function libraries (UFL).

Additional UFLs are not included when you install Crystal Reports. You need
to install them separately. Once you have installed the necessary UFL file you
will see the new function(s) in the Additional Functions folder of the Crystal
Reports Formula Editor.

UFLs abide by the following naming conventions:

• Files starting with “UFL” are for use with any 16-bit version of Crystal
Reports
• Files starting with “U2L” are for use with any 32-bit version of Crystal
Reports
• Files starting with “UF5” are for use with 16-bit 5.0.x.108 and higher
• Files starting with “U25” are for use with 32-bit 5.0.x.108 and higher

NOTE Although there are four different naming conventions used by User Function Libraries,
throughout this document they will all be referred to as “UFLs”.

A single UFL file (Uflname.dll) may contain more than one function. Once
installed, a UFL’s additional functions will display automatically in the formula
editor the next time you start Crystal Reports, just like regular functions.

Using this document


• If you know the name of the function, but don’t know the name of the EXE
file containing it, go to the Appendix on page 26.
• If you don’t know the name of a function, or you want to check if a
particular kind of additional function exists, go to Function listing by
function type on page 5.
• If you know the name of the EXE, to find out where to obtain it, go to
Obtaining UFL files on page 3.
• To learn how to install the UFL, you can either read the Readme.txt or
Install.txt file included with the EXE, or you can go to Adding an additional
function on page 4.

Where do you obtain UFL files?


There are two places where you can obtain UFLs on your own:

• From the Crystal Decisions support website.


• From the Crystal Reports CD.
The additional UFLs are packaged in self-extracting EXEs. The appendix
provides an alphabetical index of additional functions, indicating the name of
the self-extracting EXE that contains the function.

same name.

To obtain a UFL from the Crystal Reports CD


1. Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the Crystal Reports 6 or 7 CD.
2. Open the UFL folder.
3. Locate the appropriate sub-folder then run the EXE to extract the contents
to your hard drive.
See the section below for installation instructions

Working with UFLs


The following instructions apply to most of the UFLs listed. The two exceptions
are UflMath.dll & UflConv.dll. Instructions for installing these UFLs are
included with their descriptions in this document.

You can also find installation instructions in the Readme.txt or Install.txt file
included with the EXE.

To add an additional function


1. Consult this document for the location of UFL file.
2. Download the UFL file. The self-extracting file will contain an
INSTALL.TXT, the DLL file(s), and if available, an UFLcode.EXE
containing the source code used to create the DLL(s).
3. Move the DLL file(s) to:
• In Windows 9x:
\WINDOWS\CRYSTAL (for developer machines)
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM (for client machines).
• In Windows NT:
\WINNT\CRYSTAL (for developer machines)
\WINNT\SYSTEM (for client machines).
4. Restart Crystal Reports and the functions will be automatically detected and
added to the bottom of the middle pane in the formula editor (in the
“Additional Functions” area).
Use the functions within the formula editor just like any other formula.

In these examples, any dates in the fields where the last two digits of the year
are less than or equal to 50, will be changed to 21st century dates. Dates in the
fields that are GREATER than 50 will stay as 20th century dates. If you want to
have ALL dates converted to 21st century dates, put the number 99 in the "y"
position of the function.

Btrieve Time UFL


Filename UFLBTIME.EXE

Julian to Date UFL


For more information on Julian Dates, refer to knowledge base article
C2009191.

Filename UFLJUL.EXE
Compatible with versions: 4.0 and higher
Description Adds new functions to allow conversion to and from Julian
Date fields.
32-bit DLL U2LJUL.DLL
16-bit DLL UFLJUL.DLL
Adds DateToJulian(x)
functions JulianToDate(x)
Formula Syntax
DateToJulian (date) Takes a date field and returns the Julian date value.
JulianToDate (number) Takes a Julian date and returns the date value.

Examples
DateToJulian (date(1995,12,25))
Would convert 12/25/1995 to 2450077 (the Julian date)
JulianToDate ({table.datefield})
Would convert 2450077 (the Julian date) to a 12/25/1995.

Some date fields use a special julian-type date format that is based on a
particular date, for example January 1, 1900. The following formulas would
convert them:

To convert the date 12/25/1995 to the special Julian date:

DateToJulian(<date>) - DateToJulian(Date(1900,1,1)-1)
//1 is subtracted from the special date 'start time'
//so the start date is included when calculating the
//difference.
To convert a special Julian date field to normal date:

JulianToDate( DateToJulian(Date(1900,01,01)-1) +
{table.date} )

Paradox Time UFL


Filename UFLPDXTM.EXE
Compatible with versions: 5.0 and higher
Description Converts Paradox Time fields to Crystal Reports Time format

32-bit DLL U2LPDXTM.DLL


16-bit DLL UFLPDXTM.dll
Adds PDXTimeToCRTime(number)
functions
Paradox Time fields are read by Crystal Reports as numbers, representing
Seconds after Midnight. This is the way Paradox stores it's time information. It
is possible to take this integer value and convert it into a formatted string of:

7/9/2003 3:48 PM Copyright  2002 Crystal Decisions, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 9

cr_ufls.pdf
Crystal Reports Additional Functions you can add to Crystal Reports

HH:MM:SS AM/PM by creating a formula in the Crystal Reports formula


editor.

However, this new UFL does the conversion automatically, and converts the
field into Crystal Reports Time format, which allows more flexibility in
formatting, and includes support for the Microsoft Windows Time-format
settings.

Formula Syntax
PDXTimeToCRTime({table.timefield})
Examples
PDXTimeToCRTime({table.timefield})
Returns the time in HH:MM:SS AM/PM format (Crystal Reports Time format)

If you are going to do calculations with the Paradox Time fields (such as Time
minus Time), you will probably want to do those calculations with the original
fields since it is easier to do the calculations with numeric Seconds. When you
are done your calculations and are ready to display the result in formatted
fashion, just place the result in the PDXTimeToCRTime() function.

NOTE Attempting to pass the PDXTimeToCRTime() function a number that is out of range (less
than zero, or greater than 86399) will generate an error in the Formula Editor.

Seconds Since Midnight UFL


Filename UFLSSM.EXE
Compatible with versions: 5.0 and higher
Description This UFL adds functions to convert Time fields that are
stored as Seconds since Midnight to standard output formats.
32-bit DLL U2LSSM.DLL
16-bit DLL UFLSSM.DLL
Adds HoursFromSecsSinceMidnight ({Table.Time})
functions - returns the hours since midnight as an number.

MinutesFromSecsSinceMidnight ({Table.Time})
- returns the minutes since midnight as an number.

SecondsFromSecsSinceMidnight ({Table.Time})
- returns the seconds since midnight as an number.

HHMMPMFromSecsSinceMidnight({Table.Time})
- returns the time as a string in the format HH:MM PM

HHMMSSPMFromSecsSinceMidnight({Table.Time})
- returns the time as a string in the format HH:MM:SS PM

HHMMFromSecsSinceMidnight({Table.Time})
- returns the time as a string in a military time format HH:MM

7/9/2003 3:48 PM Copyright  2002 Crystal Decisions, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 10

cr_ufls.pdf
Crystal Reports Additional Functions you can add to Crystal Reports

HHMMSSFromSecsSinceMidnight({Table.Time})
- returns the time as a string in a military time format
HH:MM:SS

CRTimeFromSecsSinceMidnight({Table.Time})
- returns a Crystal Reports Time field for 5.0

WeekOfYear({Table.Datefield})
- Returns the Week of the Year as a Number, much like the
Day Of Week Function

NOTE These UFLs could be made compatible with Crystal Reports 4.x if the function
"CRTimeFromSecsSinceMidnight({Table.Time})" was left out, since it uses a Crystal
Reports Time type that was not available with Crystal Reports 4.x versions.

Number to Date UFL


Filename UFLTDATE.EXE
Compatible with versions: 4.0 and higher
Description This adds a function allowing you to convert numeric fields
in the format YYMMDD or YYYYMMDD into the Crystal
Reports date format Date(YYYY,MM,DD). You can then
modify the Crystal Reports date format to control how the
date displays on the report (in long date format, short date,
and so on.)
32-bit DLL U2LTDATE.DLL
16-bit DLL UFLTDATE.DLL
Adds NumberToDate(Number)
functions
Formula Syntax
NumberToDate(x) Where "x" is a NUMERIC value in the format
YYYYMMDD, this function will convert it into
Crystal Reports Date format: Date(YYYY,MM,DD).
Examples
NumberToDate(20001231)
This returns Date(2000,12,31)

While you can sometimes use numbers in the format YYMMDD, they cannot be
formatted in CR with a long year.

For example,

NumberToDate(991030)
returns Date(1999,10,30). Often, the default displays format on the report for
dates is MM/DD/YY, so this formula returns 10/30/99.

However, if you format this formula field to display in MMM DD, YYYY
format, this formula returns October 30, 99.
7/9/2003 3:48 PM Copyright  2002 Crystal Decisions, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 11

cr_ufls.pdf
Crystal Reports Additional Functions you can add to Crystal Reports

Years 00 to 09 provide an even greater formatting challenge: For example,


NumberToDate(020101) will displays in MM/DD/YY format as 01/01/2, and
displays in MMM DD, YYYY format as January 1, 2

The solution? Use a 4-digit number for year with the NumberToDate function.

String functions
This sections describes additional functions to:

• Capitalize the first letter of every word in a string (Uflcaps.exe).


• Search for a particular word or phrase within a string, and replace it with
another one (Uflrepl.exe).
• Extract a portion or ‘piece’ of a string, when the ‘piece’ is separated by a
particular character (Uflstr.exe).
• Determine the starting position of a string within a larger string
(Uflstring.exe)
• Extract a user-specified string from within another string, return the first
characters of each word within a string, and returns a user-specified number
of words from a string (Ufltech1.exe)

Title Caps UFL


UFLCAPS.EXE
Filename Compatible with versions: 4.0 and higher
Description Capitalizes the first character of a string after a space, tab or
hyphen.
32-bit DLL U2LCAPS.DLL
16-bit DLL UFLCAPS.DLL
Adds LeadingCaps(string)
functions
Formula Syntax
LeadingCaps(x)
Where "x" is a string that you wish to have each "word" converted to title case
(the first letter of each word is put in uppercase). This function considers
everything separated by spaces, tabs or hyphens to be "words".

Examples
LeadingCaps("tHiS IS THE uflcaps-conVERTed strinG.")
This returns the string: "This Is The Uflcaps-Converted String."

Notice that letters following a space, tab or hyphen character are capitalized.

Since the introduction of subreports in Crystal Reports 5.0, users have wanted a
way to pass information between the subreport and the main report.
UFLSTORE addresses this issue by creating a global memory variable; a
variable whose contents are available to both the main report and any subreport
contained within it.

Practical uses for UFLSTORE are numerous and most of them relate to
subreports. If you have created a subreport and would like to use the
information that it generates in the main report, then UFLSTORE is the way to
do it. The exciting thing is that the information stored is available not only to
the main report but to all subreports contained with in it. A few ideas from Tech
Support:

• Create a Grand Total that adds all totals from the subreport and main report.
This is a good way for combining totals that come from non-related
databases.
• Create an index for your main report. With a good working knowledge of
your database you could create an index that will tell the user which page
certain information (groups, totals etc) is printed on.
Formula Syntax
@Store Formula
The first step is to place the information into the memory variable by using the
store function that matches the type of information being stored.

i.e. StoreNumberVar(x,y) for numeric fields,

StoreStringVar(x,"y") for string fields - note x must be a string.

7/9/2003 3:48 PM Copyright  2002 Crystal Decisions, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 23

cr_ufls.pdf
Crystal Reports Additional Functions you can add to Crystal Reports

@Fetch Formula
The second step is to retrieve the information using the corresponding fetch
function and variable name

@Store Example
StoreNumberVar("SubreportTotal",1000)

This formula stores the variable called ‘SubreportTotal’ with a value of 1000
into memory.

@Fetch Example
FetchNumberVar("SubreportTotal")
This formula fetches the variable created in the @Store formula, and returns the
value that was assigned to the variable in the @Store formula.

To ensure the @Fetch formula successfully retrieves the variable declared &
assigned a value in the @Store formula, you must place @Fetch in a section
beneath the section containing @Store.

To store a value in a subreport and retrieve it in the main report:


• In the subreport, create and insert @Store formula to store the value.
• In the main report, create and insert @Fetch in a section beneath the section
containing the subreport .
To store a value in the main report and retrieve it in the subreport:

• In the main report, create and insert @Store.


• In the subreport, create and insert @Fetch.
• In the main report, place the subreport in a section beneath the section
containing @Store.

NOTE For more information about using Store and Fetch functions, please go to
http://support.crystaldecisions.com/docs and search for the file Uflstore.pdf (the Store and
Fetch Functions technical brief).

Examples
StoreNumberVar(X, Y)
Usage: Stores a numeric value Y to X. If a formula field contains this
function, it will return the numeric value Y.

Example: StoreNumberVar("gTotal", 1000).

Returns: 1000

StoreStringVar(X, Y)
Usage: Stores a string value Y to key X. If a formula field just contains this
function, it will return a string value Y.

Example: StoreStringVar("My Name", "Beanie")

7/9/2003 3:48 PM Copyright  2002 Crystal Decisions, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 24

cr_ufls.pdf
Crystal Reports Additional Functions you can add to Crystal Reports

Returns: Beanie

StoreDateVar(X, Y)
Usage: Stores a date value Y to key X. If a formula field just contains this
function, it will return a date value Y.

Example: StoreDateVar("MyBDay", Date(1970,04,02))

Returns: April 2, 1970

StoreCurrencyVar(X, Y)
Usage: Stores a string value Y to key X. If a formula field just contains this
function, it will return a string value Y. This is same as using
SaveNumberVar().

Example: StoreCurrencyVar("gTotal", 1000)

Returns: $1,000.00

StoreBooleanVar(X, Y)
Usage: Stores a True/False value Y to key X. If a formula field just contains
this function, it will return a string value Y.

Example: StoreBooleanVar("Gender Is Male", True)

Returns: True

FetchNumberVar(X)
Usage: Given the key X, it will return a numeric value that is stored under this
key.

Example: FetchNumberVar("gTotal")

Returns: 1000

FetchStringVar(X)
Usage: Given the key X, it will return a string value that is stored under this
key.

Example: FetchStringVar("My Name")

Returns: Beanie

FetchDateVar(X)
Usage: Given the key X, it will return a date value that is stored under this key.

Example: FetchDateVar("MyBDate")

Returns: April 2, 1970

FetchCurrencyVar(X)
Usage: Given the key X, it will return a currency value that is stored under this
key.

Example: FetchCurrencyVar("gTotal")

Returns: $1,000.00

FetchBooleanVar(X)
Usage: Given the key X, it will return a Boolean value that is stored under this
key.

Example: FetchBooleanVar("Gender is Male")

Returns: True

Tips when using the UFLSTORE functions:


• Use WhilePrintingRecords in all formulas that use the store and fetch
functions. This will make Crystal Reports evaluate the formulas during the
same evaluation time.
• The formula that fetches the variable MUST NOT be in the same section
that contains the subreport. It must be in a section BELOW the subreport
section. This is to make sure that the subreport where a value is saved into
the variable gets evaluated first than the formula that fetches the variable.
• If the subreport is suppressed or if the query of the subreport does not return
any records, the formulas that store into the variable will not be evaluated.
This means the variable never gets created, and this will cause a "Variable
not found" error if you try to fetch the variable. To avoid this, create a
formula in the main report that initializes the variable to zero, and insert this
into a section above the section that contains the subreport. This will cause
the variable to be created even if the formula in the subreport is not
evaluated.
