Getting Return values from RFC function call with visual basic

Hi,
I am creating a sample app to connect to a SAP system which call its RFC functions created with ABAP. It was known that the function will return more than 1 return values.
   SAP Function name ==> "ZFMTP_RFC_GET_RESULT"
        Export parameters (to SAP):
                - Student Name [char 10]         ==> "STUNAME"
                - Student ID         [char 20]        ==> "STUID"
       Return values (From SAP):
                - Results [char 10]        ==> "RESULT"
                - Remarks [char 200]        ==> "REMARKS"
i have managed to get sample codes for connecting and call a RFC function with vb but they only get a return value. How do i retrieve multiple return values like the above function "RESULT" and "REMARKS"?
Here's my vb code to accessing the function
        Dim R3 As Object
        Dim FBFunc As Object
        Dim returnFunc As Boolean
        Dim connected As Boolean
        R3 = CreateObject("SAP.Functions")
        R3.Connection.Client = "000"
        R3.Connection.User = "BCUSER"
        R3.Connection.Password = "minisap"
        R3.Connection.Language = "DE"
        R3.Connection.System = "dtsystem"
        R3.Connection.Applicationserver = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
        connected = R3.Connection.Logon(0, True)
        If connected <> True Then
            MsgBox("Unable to connect to SAP")
        End If
        FBFunc = R3.add("ZFMTP_RFC_GET_RESULT")
        FBFunc.exports("STUNAME") = "Jonny"
        FBFunc.exports("STUID") = "12345"
        returnFunc = FBFunc.Call() <<== How do i get the return value? or RESULT and REMARKS of the RFC Function?
thanks alot.

Hi Gregor,
Thanks for the link....i am having some doubts with the codes, hope you can clarify them for me if you know the codes..
Below is the code snippet.
Set impReturn = CHPASS_FN.Imports("RETURN") <<=== is RETURN the standard keyword to get a                                                                                return object?
expPassword.Value = currpass
expNewPass.Value = newpass
expFillRet.Value = "1"
''' Call change password function
If CHPASS_FN.Call = True Then
    outFile.Write (", Called Function")
    Message = impReturn("MESSAGE") <<==== So if i have 3 return values..i just replace with the return                                                               value variable names?
    outFile.WriteLine " : " & Message
Else
    outFile.Write (", Call to function failed")
End If
thanks alot...all your help is very appreciated.

Error getting return value from function

Hello
I'm getting a error calling a function with ODP.NET from C#
Code:
OracleCommand oraCom = new OracleCommand("NORMALIZACION.nif",oraCon);
oraCom.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
OracleParameter param1 = new OracleParameter("numnif",OracleDbType.Varchar2);
param1.Value= "73667866A";
param1.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
OracleParameter param2 = new OracleParameter("nif",OracleDbType.Varchar2);
param2.Size = 10; //FIXME line
param2.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue;
oraCom.Parameters.Add(param1);
oraCom.Parameters.Add(param2);
oraCom.ExecuteNonQuery();
nif_norm = oraCom.Parameters["nif"].Value.ToString();
if i write the FIXME line i get a error (ORA-06502) complaining about the size, no matter the value i wrote.
If i don't write the FIXME line, it works but nif_norm is always empty, although the function i call is a single return 'Hello';
Where am I wrong??
Any help, examples with varchar2 as return value???
BTW: the same code with the MS provider for Oracle works fine.

Good point -- i shall do so.
What I think I'm missing, in my quest for ODP.NET competence, is a solid set of example code. I've searched around and found various fragements here and there, but when it comes to data access from .NET there must surely be some finitie set of possibilities (if we can discount bad practices like building dynamic SQL statements without bind variables).
For example, possibly in increasing order of complexity ...
* Read a single value from a SQL statement ... "select emp_name from emp where rownum < 2"
* Read a single value by passing in a parameter ... "select emp_name from emp where user_id = :?"
* read multiple values ... "select emp_name from emp where user_id in (:?,:?)"
* execute a stored procedure with no in or out parameters
* retreive a value from a function with no parameters
* pass a parameter to a stored procedure
* read an out parameter from a stored procedure
Then work with in and out ref cursors, blobs, whatever.
Thoughts?

You need to have either OUTPUT parameters or use RETURN statement to return a value in stored procedures. RETURN can only return integer values whereas OUTPUT parameters can be of any type
First modify your procedure to define return value or OUTPUT parameter based on requirement
for details see
http://www.sqlteam.com/article/stored-procedures-returning-data
Once that is done in SSIS call sp from Execute SQL Task and in parameter mapping tabe shown above add required parameters and map them to variables created in SSIS and select Direction as Output or Return Value based on what option you used in your
procedure.

How to get return value from java and read by other application?

i want to read return value from java and the other application read it.
for example:
public class test_return {
    test_return(){
    public int check(){
        return 1;
    public static void main(String args[]){
       new test_return().check();
}from that class i make as jar file. How to read the return value (1) by other application?
thx..

If your installer is requiring some process it invokes to return a particular value on failure, then the installer is seriously broken. There are a bazillion commands your installer could invoke, and any of them could fail, which in turn could invalidate the entire install process, and any of them could return any value on failure. The only value that's consistent (in my experience) is that zero means success and non-zero means failure, with specific non-zero values being different in different programs.
About the only control you have over the JVM's exit code is that if your main method completes without throwing an exception, the JVM will have an exit code of 0, and if main throws an exception (either explicitly or by not catching one thrown from below), it will be non-zero. I'm not even sure if that's guaranteed, but I would guess that's the case.
EDIT: I'm kind of full of crap here. If you're writing the Java code, you can call System.exit(whatever). But nonetheless, if your installer requires certain exit codes from any app--java or otherwise--you have a problem.

Hi,
Have your tried pr.exitValue() ?
I think you also need a finally block that destroys the subprocess

How to get the value from a function using a select statement

I have a function(user defined not built in) that returns multiple values(like an array). My question is how do i get those values in a select statement. when i tried to retrieve it,
select pack.my_members from dual;
i am getting an error
ORA-00902: invalid datatype
I am sure this must be a syntax error with the select statement
The following is the function that give the array of data
package pack
package spec
Type my_table is table of varchar2(25);
function the_members
return pack.my_table;
pakcage body
function the_members return pack.my_table
Remarks: This function returns a table containing names of the

Returning both raise_application_error and return value from db function...

Hi ,
I use Oracle 10g and forms10g.
I have written a db packaged function such as:
function fnc_ipologismos_xiliometron(code_poleis_apo_var in varchar2,code_poleis_pros_var in varchar2)
   return number
   is
    apostasi_var ref_apostaseis_poleon.apostasi%type;
    onomasia_pol_apo_var ref_poleis.onomasia%type;
    onomasia_pol_pros_var ref_poleis.onomasia%type;
    begin
     begin
        select onomasia into onomasia_pol_apo_var
          from ref_poleis
          where code_poleis=code_poleis_apo_var;
     end;
     begin
        select onomasia into onomasia_pol_pros_var
          from ref_poleis
          where code_poleis=code_poleis_pros_var;
     end;
     begin
      select apostasi into apostasi_var
       from ref_apostaseis_poleon
       where code_poleis_apo=code_poleis_apo_var and code_poleis_pros=code_poleis_pros_var;
      exception
       when no_data_found
then
apostasi_var:=0;
return apostasi_var;
raise_application_error(-20015,'a message');
--return apostasi_var;
end;      return apostasi_var;
    end;The problem is that when the exception written above (in bold) returns 0 and exits the function.... whereas i want this value to be returned as well as the message in the raise_application_error....
I call this function in WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM of a block item... such as:
if pkg_mod3_general.fnc_ipologismos_xiliometron
(:mod3_entoli_metakinisis.code_poleis_apo_type_id,:mod3_entoli_metakinisis.code_poleis_type_id)=0
            and :mod3_entoli_metakinisis.seq_code_meso_metakin_type_id=2
            then
              raise form_trigger_failure;
end if;     When the above condition is true then no message is displayed and the cursor sticks to the item(as the raise_application_error in the db packaged function is after the exit of the function) and when the condition is false then no message is displayed again ... as expected.....
How is it get the desired result.....- get the message from the raise_application_error and the function returns 0.....?????
Many thanks,
Simon

you cannot RETURN and RAISE a function.
RETURN ends the function immediately
RAISE ends the program unit and jumps in the EXCEPTION-Handler, if it exists. Else the function ends

Getting return value from webengine.executescript when embedded in Swing

Hi,
Got a WebView embedded through a JFXPanel in a Swing app. I'm now trying to get some value back from the WebEngine.executeScript method in a synchronous way.
All examples I can find on Swing embedding use Platform.runLater, which of course doesn't return the value straight away.
Through some digging I found PlatformImpl.runAndWait(Runnable) and when I use that I do get a synchronous call and thus the return value of Webengine.executeScript immediately.
Question now is if it's save for me to use PlatformImpl.runAndWait(Runnable) or if I should refrain from using it for some reason. I wasn't able to find anything on the topic, but so far in my tests if seems to work fine.
Only thing I found were 2 implementations of sort of the same functionality: http://www.guigarage.com/2013/01/invokeandwait-for-javafx/ and https://code.google.com/p/jacp/source/browse/branches/working/JACP.JavaFX/src/main/java/org/jacp/javafx/rcp/worker/AFXComponentWorker.java (invokeOnFXThreadAndWait method)
TIA,
K.

Using the impl method for run and wait is not advised as it may be removed in a future JavaFX version.
However you can easily copy the source of this simple method to create your own implementation:
See the following thread for details:
http://markmail.org/message/kaui2t34ufx3vdwe
Note that in making what is normally an asynchronous call synchronous, you must be careful to avoid deadlock and UI freezing performance issues.

How to get some values from a function

i want to test1 function to return the value of ax and az and update xx and xz to reuse it but itseems xx and xz neverchanging..i am a newbie but have some knowledge confuse how to return values in function
import flash.events.Event;
var xx=1
var xz=10
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,aa)
function aa(e:Event ){
test1(xx,xz)}
function test1(ax:Number,az:Number ){
ax=ax+10;
az=az+10;
trace(ax)
trace(az)

Basic data types are always pass by value. This means to do it with primitive data types you have to do something like this:
function test1(ax:Number,az:Number ):Object {
ax=ax+10;
az=az+10;
trace(ax)
trace(az)
return {xx: az, xz: az};
and then after you call your function like this
var returnObject:Object = test1(xx, xz);
and then add these lines:
xx = returnObject.xx;
xz = returnObject.xz;

How to get return values from task flow in af:region ?

Hi!
I'm working with a taskFlow that is rendered inside a popup using the "popup inside a region pattern" (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/patterns/popupregionpattern.pdf), but now this taskFlow has an input parameter and a return value definition. So the question is how to get a value returned by this taskFlow thas is called inside a region?
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
write the value to a shared memory scope like session and read it in the regionNavigation listener. If you follow the paper you refer to then the listener determines of the viewId is null, this a return happens. It wuld then look in the memory scope for the return value.
Another option would be to use an object that you pass as an argument to the task flow you open in the popup. Then you change the object you passed in, which then makes the return information available in teh calling flow. The object you pass in would have to be in a shared scope too

Getting return value from sqlplus script while running a unix job

I am trying to run a unix script that calls sqlplus. The following code outlines the unix/sql code that I trying to execute:
return_count=`sqlplus $ORACLE_ID/$ORACLE_PWD@$ORACLE_SID <<EOF | grep '^RETURN_VAL' | sed 's/^RETURN_VAL//'
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
VARIABLE ReturnValue NUMBER
EXEC :ReturnValue := 1
BEGIN
UPDATE seq_control_nbr
SET table_seq_nbr = table_seq_nbr + 1,
last_updt_dttmstp = systimestamp,
last_updt_user_id = 'ECVMSONS'
WHERE table_key = 'ONSTAR';
IF SQL%ROWCOUNT = 1 THEN
COMMIT;
:ReturnValue := 0;
ELSE
ROLLBACK;
:ReturnValue := 99;
END IF;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('RETURN_VAL '||:ReturnValue);
END;
EXIT
EOF`
The above outlined sqlplus script does run because the values on the table are updated. However, I cannot get the value of ReturnValue to be displayed, so it can be returned to the unix script.
Any ideas?

ok do the following:-
return_count=`sqlplus $ORACLE_ID/$ORACLE_PWD@$ORACLE_SID <<EOF
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
whenever OSERROR exit 1
whenever SQLERROR exit 2
UPDATE seq_control_nbr
SET table_seq_nbr = table_seq_nbr + 1,
last_updt_dttmstp = systimestamp,
last_updt_user_id = 'ECVMSONS'
WHERE table_key = 'ONSTAR';
EXIT
EOF`
rowsupdated=`echo $return_count|cut -f1 -d' '`
echo "Rows updated =" $rowsupdated
retcode=`echo $?`
case "$retcode" in
0) echo "Update executed successfully on " ;;
1) echo "Update failed OSERROR ";;
2) echo "Update failed SQLError " ;;

How to get return values from region?

I add a page flow as region into a page. The page flow has a return parameter. How to get the return value in parent page?

I have been also intrigued by this question.
There is however a workaround that you can set the values in requestScope.
We can have a regionNavigationListener on the region and catch the end of taskflow if viewid is null.
regionNavigationEvent.getNewViewId() == null
Here we can read the request values and set wherever to be used.

begin
x := PK_GET_STUDENT_ID(parm1, parm2 parm3);
end;My question is how can I get the value of x so I can store it in a variable in side java? Please help.

How should this callable statement look? I thought I could just remove the declare statement and then replace "X :=" with "?=" but that will not work b/c if I do that then how is it supposed to know what to put in the second statment. Will someone please help me out on how I should make statement look? I know I have to register the variable before I execute the statement but how do this is done. Obiviously I know the registerOutParameter(...) but which ones do I need so I can execute this statement?
(PLSQL)

" X := DOSOMETHING?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?); " +
" PK_CUSTOMER.ASSIGN_MAILING_CONTACT(?,?,X); " + "END; ";

Return value from database function taking a lot more time than the query

Hi guys,
I have a Query that does a call to a database function. The function takes in a few parameters and returns a Date. Now, the query within the function takes barely .05 seconds. However, doing a select get_join_dates from dual is taking almost 6 seconds for each call.
Here is the Query:
select s.student_id, s.student_name, s.organization_code
from   student s
where s.student_id = :p_student_id
and    s.student_enrollment_date = get_join_dates( :p_year,
                                                   :p_month,
                                                   :p_student_id,
                                                   s.organization_code );And here is the database function. The select inside this function barely takes 0.05 seconds per call. This function gets called 3 times in my case as there are 3 records in the org_body table for this student.
create or replace function
get_join_dates( p_yyyy in org_body.fiscal_yyyy%type,
                       p_month in org_body.fiscal_mm%type,
                       p_student_id in student.student_id%type,
                       p_organization_code in org_body.organization_code%type) return date as
    t_enrollment_date date;
    cursor cur_latest_enrollment_date is
      select max(enrollment_date)
      from   org_body
      where fiscal_yyyy = p_yyyy
      and    fiscal_mm = p_month
      and    student_id = p_student_id
      and    organization_code = p_organization_code;
BEGIN
    open cur_latest_enrollment_date ;
    fetch cur_latest_enrollment_date into t_enrollment_date;
    close cur_latest_enrollment_date ;
    return t_enrollment_date;
exception
    when others then
      null;
end;owever, when I run the following statement below, it takes close to 6 seconds to retrieve a record. In turn, my Query is becoming really slow and taking almost 35 seconds. Imagine that with more records.
select get_join_dates( 2010, '01', '2167543', 'PSYCH01' ) from dual;If I run my query with this condition below, it takes 0.5 seconds.
select s.student_id, s.student_name, s.organization_code
from   student s
where s.student_id = :p_student_id
and      s.student_enrollment_date = '01-JAN-10'Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Any reason why you are doing this with the stored function?
You could just do this with SQL. Embed the query in the function as a subquery in your initial query from STUDENT.
select s.student_id, s.student_name, s.organization_code
from   student s
where s.student_id = :p_student_id
and    s.student_enrollment_date =
(select max(enrollment_date)
      from   org_body
      where fiscal_yyyy = :p_year
      and    fiscal_mm = :p_month
      and    student_id = s.student_id
      and    organization_code = s.organization_code);Why your function is not performing: I cannot say that with the information you have provided.
Maybe sqltrace a call and see what the reason is.
