OpenSQLException - Cannot assign double value

Hello,
I have some table in database with field of type 'double'. I use JDBC to store data in this table and sometimes I would like to place special values in it, eg:
preparedStatement.setDouble(1, Double.MIN_VALUE);
Unfortunately I get exception like the one below.
My question is: what is the allowed range of values for type 'double' in database according to OpenSQL spec ?
Thanks!

Hi,
Thank you for your replay. I didn't touch DB directly, I defined db structure through NetWeaver Dictionary perspective and table that i'm interested in is defined like the one on this screen: http://zduniak.com/tmp/sap_dictionary_double.png
So I'm looking for generic solution (SAP OpenSQL), not specific to any particular DB vendor.
Maybe there is somewhere on help.sap.com (i couldn't find unfortunately) information what is the allowed range of values for type 'double' in database according to OpenSQL spec ?
Thank,
Marcin Zduniak

OpenSQLException caught: Cannot assign a blank-padded string

Hi,
sometimes I get this exception, when updating a bo instance.
I didn't managed it to reproduce the error, because it is thrown in a complex background job.
Can anybody give me more information about the reason behind this?
Thanks,
Jens

Hi,
I got the same exception with the following code:
stringVarible="someString"+someMethod.getValue();
here getValue returns String.But sometimes it may return null valu also.when it returns null value,the same SQL Exception will occure becuse we are trying to save a string in SQL which is blank padded.
I think your code is also having the similar problem.

Management Report - Cannot assign an empty string to host variable 10

We ran a Management Report for the first time after completing the User/Role/Profile Full Sync and the user/Role/Profile Batch Risk Analysis. The job failed with the following error:
Oct 16, 2008 12:13:29 PM com.virsa.cc.xsys.bg.BatchRiskAnalysis runBkgMgmReport
WARNING: Exception in Management Report Job: Cannot assign an empty string to host variable 10.
com.sap.sql.log.OpenSQLException: Cannot assign an empty string to host variable 10.
We are on GRC 5.3 support pack 4. Has anybody encountered this error? What does host variable 10 refer to?

I checked our USOBT_C table and we have a lot of empty values. If this is allowed to be empty in SAP and this is the table that is uploaded into CC, why would all the fields in CC tables then be defined as NOT NULL? We suspect that since we had uploaded USOBT_C under 5.2 and if this had been an issue before, it may have been corrected when we upgraded to 5.3 but then the old data is still in our system. Is there an easy way to get around or correct this?
Thanks.

GRC 5.3 - Management Report Error: Cannot assign an empty string to host..

Good day Kiran Kandepalli and Others.
I have successfully executed the background jobs -
Full User, Role, Profile Synchronization & a
Full Batch Risk Analysis
When I run the Management Reports I receive the following error -
Error while executing the Job:Cannot assign an empty string to host variable 10.
Has anybody had this error message before?
When I check table VIRSA_CC_PRMVL, variable 10 is set to No in Nullable collumn.

Hi Sahad,
Thanks for your response. I have checked the usr02 table and logs and do not see any empty fields or strings. This process worked for 5.2 but fails in 5.3. Here is the excerpt from the log for the Management Report run. It seems to fail consistenly at a certain point. If I knew what the batch job was looking for in host variable 10 I might be able to resolve the problem. It seems to fail when it starts to report on users.
Thanks.
Dan.

Cannot assign value to a Variable of Complex Type beyond index 1

Hello:
I have a variable defined as a complex type as followed. I tried to assign a value to each of the two elements but it only allows me to assign to the 'element#1.
This statement that tries to assign a value into element#2 will not work, if I assign with '[1]' for the first element it will work:
<copy> <---- THIS WORKS
<from expression="'John'"/>
<to variable="My_Variable"
part="My_Collection"
query="/ns9:My_Collection/ns9:Collection/ns9:Collection_Item[1]/ns9:pname"/>
</copy>
<copy> <---- THIS DOES NOT WORK
<from expression="'John'"/>
<to variable="My_Variable"
part="My_Collection"
query="/ns9:My_Collection/ns9:Collection/ns9:Collection_Item[2]/ns9:pname"/>
</copy>
Is there something wrong with my definition below that allows only element#1 to be refererenced but not element#2???? Am I missing some kind of initialization that is needed to initialize both elements????
Here are my message and Complex Type definitions:
<variable name="My_Variable" messageType="ns8:args_out_msg"/>
<message name="args_out_msg">
<part name="My_Collection" element="db:My_Collection"/>
</message>

The error msg it gives me is as followed:

Hello:
Base on the suggestion to use 'append' instead of 'copy', I tried to define a 'singleNode' which is of type 'Collection_Type_Struct' so I can append this individual 'struct' into my array (i.e. as the 2nd. element of my array "/ns9:My_Collection/ns9:Collection/ns9:Collection_Item"), but I am getting an error in defining this variable as:
<variable name="singleNode" element="Collection_Type_Struct"/> <--- error
Can someone tell me how should I define "singleNode" so I can put a value in it and then append this 'singleNode' into the array:
<variable name="singleNode" element=" how to define this????"/>
<assign>
<copy>
<frem expression="'Element2Value'"/>
<to variable="singleNode"
part="My_Collection"
query="/ns9:My_Collection/ns9:Collection/ns9:Collection_Item/ns9:pname"/>
</copy>
</assign>
<bpelx:assign>
<bpelx:append>
<from variable="singleNode" query="/ns9:My_Collection/ns9:Collection/ns9:Collection_Item"/>
<to variable="My_Variable"
"part="My_Collection"
query="/ns9:My_Collection/ns9:Collection"/>
</bpelx:append>
</bpelx:assign>
Again here is my definition in my .xsd file:
<element name="My_Collection">
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="Collection" type="db:Collection_Type" db:index="2" db:type="Array" minOccurs="0" nillable="true"/>
<element name="Ret" type="string" db:index="3" db:type="VARCHAR2" minOccurs="0" nillable="true"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>
<complexType name="Collection_Type">
<sequence>
<element name="Collection_Item" type="db:Collection_Type_Struct" db:type="Struct" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" nillable="true"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
<complexType name="Collection_Type_Struct">

<element name="pname" db:type="VARCHAR2" minOccurs="0" nillable="true">
<simpleType>
<restriction base="string">

Thanks for any help!!!!

Does your package variable datatype match the datatype of your parameter?
Is your Package variable assigned to the parameter in the task editor?
And does the parameter name in the task editor match the parameter names in your stored procedure?

Cannot assign an empty string to a parameter with JDBC type VARCHAR

Hi,
I am seeing the aforementioned error in the logs. I am guessing its happening whenever I am starting an agent instance in PCo. Can somebody explain whats going on?
Regards,
Chanti.
Heres the complete detail from logs -
Log Record Details
Message: Unable to retreive path for , com.sap.sql.log.OpenSQLException: Failed to set the parameter 1 of the statement >>SELECT ID, PARENTID, FULLPATH, CREATED, CREATEDBY, MODIFIED, MODIFIEDBY, REMOTEPATH, CHECKEDOUTBY FROM XMII_PATHS WHERE FULLPATH = ? <<: Cannot assign an empty string to a parameter with JDBC type >>VARCHAR<<.

Sounds like a UI browsing bug (when no path is selected from a catalog tree folder browser) - I would suggest logging a support ticket so that it can be addressed.

Unable to display double values in Excel sheet using JExcel API

Hi
I am writing code to generate report in the form of Excel Sheet using JExcel API.
Everything is going fine but whenever I want to put some double values in a cell it is only showing 2 decimal places. My problem is "I want to show upto five decimal places".
Any kind of reply might help me lot.
Thank U.

If you enable the submit zero option, it still happens? This is a new feature on the display tabl
#NumericZero Enhancements
To display a numeric zero in place of an error message, you can enter #NumericZero in any of the three Replacement text fields. When you use the #NumericZero option:
· Excel formatting for the cell is retained.
· All calculations with dependency on the cell will compute correctly and will take the value of this cell as zero.
· This numeric zero is for display only. When you submit, the zero value is NOT submitted back to the data source.
You cannot set display strings for cells that contain an invalid member or dimension name (metadata error). Metadata errors produce standard descriptive error messages.
Errors are prioritized in the following order from highest to lowest. The error message for a higher-priority error takes precedence over that for a lower-priority error.
1. (Highest) Metadata errors
2. #No access
3. #Invalid/Meaningless
4. #No data\Missing

NullPointerException - Cannot get the value from variable f_cashGiven

In SubCheckout.java (a POS), what I want is when Payment button (f_cashPayment) is pressed, the action "Cash" is performed, get the value from Cash Given (f_cashGiven), do the subtraction and post the value as Cash Return (f_cashReturn). The code is filled in actionPerformed. But I cannot get the value by using f_cashGiven.getValue() from VNumber class. It returns NULL. This should be quite straight forward, but I do not know what is wrong. Please help!
Enclosed please find the source code of SubCheckout.java and VNumber.java

If getValue() returns null, you need to trace the execution of the code and figure out which sequence of code is leading to the return of null. This method looks complex - a lot of if statements. If you do not have a debugger, put System.out.println statements inside the method to figure out what's going on.

I cannot change the value in about:newtab from "newtab" to "blank." The dialog is displayed but when I click Ok, the value is not changed.

Comment on usual method and solution, by a forum Moderator.
As long as there are no confounding factors, such as certain extensions, or a user.jsfile the procedure is as follows
# Open a new tab and type "about:config" in the address bar.
# In the Search bar type: "newtab"
# Locate and double click "browser.newtab.url"
# In the "Enter String Value" box change "'''about:newtab'''" to "'''about:blank'''" and click OK.
# Verify that the value has changed and now all new tabs will be blank.

Have to say that I rather agree with Mark..all we want is a simple, unadorned clean page that doe not track and show usage!! WHY NOT!! Is it too simple for developers..we aren't all (nor do we want to be!) software experts! Come on Mozilla..tidy up and clean up..it might be a quicker programme too!!

How i can assign multiple values to tabuler text item (Help)

HI
IM PROGRAMMING ONE FORM AND I PUT THERE TABULER TEXT ITEM
I WANT ASSIGN 63 VALUES TO THIS TEXT ITEM ONE BY ONE BY CODE I MEAN PUT FIRST VALUE IN THE FIRST TEXT ITEM ROW THEN SECOND TO THE SECOND TEXT ITEM AND LIKE THIS UNTIL I REACH TO THE LAST
I MAKE LOV PUT I CAN ASSIGN ONE VALUE BY ONE VALUE EACH TIME DOUBLE CLICK ON THE TEXT ITEM ASSIGN ONE VALUE THEN DOUBLE CLICK ON THE SECOND ROW PUT MY BOSS WANT ASSIGN ALL VALUES 63 FROM ONE CLICK ON BUTTON

Then you will have to create a when-validate-item trigger with a cursor based on your selection of your LOV . Loop through that cursor assigning the next in the next record by using the built-in function next_record. (put you selection for you value in a hidden item for example.
something like this:
Declare
cursor c is
select returnValueFromLOV
from <yourtable>
where yourdisplay value = :hidden_tem;
begin
for r in c loop
next_record;
item := r. returnValueFromLOV;
end loop;
exception
when no_data_found
your error handling;
end;
Hope it put you on the road to reach what you want

Assigning a value to an item

Hi,
I'm using forms6i.
I have an item in my form , say, Invoicebase, whose default value to be fetched from another table and to be shown in the form while loading.
The query to fetch the default value involves a where condition, like where company = :Global.company
But I'm assigining value to this global variable in when-new-form-instance.
So where(which trigger) should i write the query to fetch the default value?
I cannot assign value in when-new-record-instance trigger because , it wil change the form status, and if without entering any value i try to quit it wil ask for Close Form?
I can only do that in when-create-record trigger, but at that time the global variable wil not be initialized and the query would not have worked!
Please help me handle this
Thanks

Stay with the WHEn-CREATE-RECORD-trigger and put the code to initialize teh global into the PRE-FORM-trigger.

Assigning a value to a substitute variable

Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to assign a value to a substitute variable.
This is what I'm doing:
- Prompting user for input
ACCEPT uom CHAR PROMPT 'Enter number of UOM system you would like: ' DEF '0'
(displayed list of options are numbers 0-5)
- Based on input, open corresponding file
(start i:\utc\all\oracle\uom\uom_column_heading_&&uom..sql)
Problem:
- Default selection is 0, meaning use the CURRENT UOM system (a number, 1-5)
- That being said, &&uom must be assigned a 1-5 value in order to open the file that corresponds to the CURRENT UOM system
Let me know if any additional information is needed.
Thanks!

I apologize for the format. I tried to make it more legible, but was not able to. FYI: It appears to be easier to read in "Edit" view.
Thanks, I tried the &&uom := your_function(); suggestion, but I am getting an error. It looks like the "value" of &&uom is being read in the assignment statement, not the variable name.
I have copied the piece of the code, for your reference.
ACCEPT uom CHAR PROMPT 'Enter number of UOM system you would like: ' DEF '0'
DECLARE
v_uom_sys_selection NUMBER;
v_curr_uom_sys VARCHAR2 (50);
v_uom_num NUMBER;
BEGIN
v_uom_sys_selection := to_number(&uom);
v_curr_uom_sys := EG.GET_CURRENT_UOM();
v_uom_num := eg.get_user_selected_uomnum(v_curr_uom_sys);
&&uom := to_char(v_uom_num);
dbms_output.put_line('v_uom_num = ' || v_uom_num);
dbms_output.put_line('&&uom = ' || &&uom);
END;
--prompt "&&uom"
start i:\utc\all\oracle\uom\uom_column_heading_&&uom..sql
Below are the results I get when commenting out the &&uom := to_char(v_uom_num); line. NOTE: the "value" of &&uom = 0.
v_uom_num = 1
0 = 0
If I leave that line in, I get the following error:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "0" when expecting one of the following:
begin case declare end exit for goto if loop mod null pragma
raise return select update while with <an identifier>
<a double-quoted delimited-identifier> <a bind variable> <<
close current delete fetch lock insert open rollback
savepoint set sql execute commit forall merge pipe
The symbol "<an identifier> was inserted before "0" to continue.

I want to assign the value of a Javascript variable to JSP Variable

I want to assign the value of a Javascript variable to JSP Variable .. for example :
<%
Bla Bla Bla
%>
<script>
var JavaScriptVariable="hello"
</script>
<%
String JSPVariable=// The Value of JavaScriptVariable ;
%>
How can i do that ??
Thanks

>I want to assign the value of a Javascript variable to JSP Variable
cannot be done.Friend try to understand concepts properly Javascript is always excuted by the browser @clientside where as JSPCode is executed Websever(ServletContainer) @serverside.Through you are combining JSP Code blocks(Tags,Expressions,scriptlets...) & javascript under a single page webserver can only identify what is their under JSP Code blocks.
Hope this could be an appropriate answer for your question.
However,you can as well submit a request by encoding your URL with request parameters and the submit to the page and then collect it using request.getParameter(name).
But under a single context state it is not possible
