Help for decode function

Hi all,
I want to use decode function in RTF template.
I know i can use if statement to deal with it ,but if the conditions are over 3, if statement is not good choice.
Here is the if condition statement
<?if:answer='Y'?>Yes<?end if?> <?if:answer='N'?>No<?end if?>
how can i translate this if statement to use decode function
I tried to use the statement as below, but it doesn't work.
<?xdofx:decode(:answer,Y,'YES',N,'NO')?>
using this statement i got empty in this field.
I appreciate any responds, thanks in advance.
appcat

Hi,
it should work,coz there is no xsl equivalent for this function that i have seen on blogs,
the syntax that i have got it from other xmlp blogs, sounds like you put correct syntax, try to give multiple conditions to check the result
<?xdofx:decode(’xxx’,’bbb’,’ccc’,’xxx’,
’ddd’)?>

Help on Decode function in Toplink

Hi,
I have a sql statement like this:
select field1, field2 from table1 where upper(field1) like 'ADELPHI%'
order by field1,
DECODE(TO_CHAR(NVL(LENGTH(TRANSLATE(field1,'A1234567890','A')),0)),'0',LPAD(field1 ,50),field1)
How would I converted this to toplink query?
I appreciate any help you guys can extend to me.

I just spent about a half hour writing a response here, and the damned forum timed out on me. #$^!@$#!^!@$%.
Here is the summary:
- Using TL Expressions and EJBQL are to allow Java developers who don't necessarily know SQL to write queries and to facilitate portability/maintainability of the apps. For REALLY gnarly queries, using TL Expressions or EJBQL won't buy you this. I.e., SQL is more expressive and easier for this kind of quer, so it's not easier to use, and frankly with the code needed to support it, it won't be easier to maintain or port... Bottom line, maybe SQL is the best option here?
- If you want to experiment, search for TO_CHAR on this forum, and the decode function in the javadoc. You need to build the expressions in pieces and you can treat expressions as arguments to other expressions -- in other words, you can build an expression like builder.leftPad(50, builder.get("field1")) and use it as one of the key/values in the hashtable to the decode function (in theory).

Need help for the Function Module 'PFL_GET_PARAMETER_INFO'

Hi Experts,
The FM 'PFL_GET_PARAMETER_INFO' returns the value for Profile Parameters for a system .
The inputs required for this FM are :
1. Parameter name : ( eg . login/min_password_lng etc. )
2 . Parameter Type
I am not sure about what the value of Parameter Type should be .
Its a mandatory field.
I have tried to search but could not find anything.
Can you please help me on this?
Thanks in Advance,

What exactly is the use-case for this?
Many developers "c-call" the params and neglect this feature of the type - also whether it is static or dynamic. Some params are even dynamic as system profiles in one direction but static as instance parameters in the other direction when changing the value.
As you cannot create your own system profile parameters, I do not see the use-case for why you are wanting to check it in advance, because the application APIs should do this.
What you are possibly looking for is function module SUSR_GENERATE_PASSWORD in this case. It will respect "the rules" in the params.
Do not use the legacy function RSEC_GENERATE_PASSWORD directly.
Cheers,
Julius

Need help with DECODE function

Hello,
I am trying to use default within the decode function and every time I get a missing expression. I have searched everywhere and cant figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thanks
select decode (request_id,0,'No files found', DEFAULT)

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
When you use a default value, the last argument to DECODE is the actual value you want as a default.
For example:
SELECT       ename
,       deptno
,       DECODE ( deptno
             , 30     , 'Sales'
                  , 'All others'     -- Default value
              )                 AS dname
FROM      scott.emp
ORDER BY ename
;Output:
ENAME          DEPTNO DNAME
ADAMS              20 All others
ALLEN              30 Sales
BLAKE              30 Sales
CLARK              10 All others
FORD               20 All others
JAMES              30 Sales
JONES              20 All others
KING               10 All others
MARTIN             30 Sales
MILLER             10 All others
SCOTT              20 All others
SMITH              20 All others
TURNER             30 Sales
WARD               30 Sales
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
If you can show the problem using commonly available tables (such as those in the scott schema) then you don't need to post any sample data; just the results and the explanation.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

Find collective Search Help for partner function at runtime

Hi experts,
I have a screen very similar to VF05. When I enter the partner function, the corresponding field for the partner function, I want a collective search help to open.
If I enter the partner function - Employee responsible, then the search help PERM has to be called or for partner function Payer, I want the search help DEBI to be called. Can anyone let me know how can I get the related partner functions, without hardcoding for every partner function. Something similar to the VF05 report.
Warm Regards,
Abdullah

Search help for partner functions in the message to get organisation unit O

hello,
Depending on the Business partner category (Organisation, Person,Group) the search help of the partner function in a message should return the corresponding partner list.
This is working fine for standard partner functions like SLFN0002 (reported by=P) SLFN0003 (support team=O). When doing a searchhelp we get a list of organisation for the "support team" and a list of users for "reported by". this is a normal behaviour.
When copying the partner function SLFN0003 into a new ZLFN0003 and including it in the partner profile of the message the search help returns all business partners of category P but should return category O. The function category 0016 (service team) is well defined for ZLFN, I guess the link to business partner category is made indirectly there but I might be wrong.
Does anyone of you experience the same behaviour ? Any idea how to correct this ?
thank you for your help

Help with Decode function

Hello!!
Can anyone please help me with the decode statement
Table 1 Table2 Table3
Id Id Code
Volume Code
For each of the codes in Table3 I need to find the corresponding Volume. Can I use decode in the select statement to this,
Eg Code Volume
ABC 20
XYZ 10 etc etc.
Thankyou all in advance.

Your table structure is a little unclear from your post. I am assuming that what you posted was:
Table 1
Id
Table2
Id
Code
Table3
Volume
Code You can use decode if there are only a few values for table3. For example,
SELECT table2.code,
DECODE(table2.code,'ABC',10,'XYZ',20,'UNKNOWN') volume
FROM table2
or even
SELECT code,DECODE(code,null,'NONE',
(SELECT volume FROM table3 where code=table2.code)) volume
FROM table2However, the first will break, or at least be incorrect, if anyone adds a new code/volume pair, and is tedious if you have more than a few values. The second will likely be pretty slow if there are a large number of records in table3. The best solution would be to use a simple join rather than decode. Something like:
SELECT table1.id, table2.code, table3.volume
FROM table1, table2, table3
WHERE table1.id = table2.id and
table2.code = table3.code

Need Help for useOneAsmany function

My input structure is               <Record>   1- unbounded
               <header> 1-1
               <Data1> 1-unbounded
               <data2> 1-unbounded
               <footer> 1-1
i want to create the IDOC for data1 and data2 and using the header field while creating the IDOC.So i'm using useOneAsMany for achieving this and its working fine.
But when i duplicate the <record> node I get the following error:
"Too many values in first queue in function useOneAsMany. It must have the same number of contexts as second queue."
Is it possible to use useOneAsMany when the file contains more than 1 record?or is it possible for only one record. Please help me in this
Thanks in advance
Sreedivia

Hi,
Same problem i faced, are you using E1EDP01 node?
If yes it happens only once, don't duplicate that node.
One as Many : we have one value in the source side, but we can use that many times in the target sede in this
               conditions we can use this node function.
                   Here it takes 3 inputs, first value represents the value to populate in the target side
                second value represents howmany times the first value occur in the target side and the
                third value represents where the context should change.
watch this blog for one as many node function.   /people/riyaz.sayyad/blog/2006/04/23/introduction-to-context-handling-in-message-mapping
