What's wrong with this IF / ELSE statement? ASP/VBScript

Hi,
I'm trying to display a section, within an ASP page, where
the customer
logged in is the same as the customer who placed the order,
identified by
their "customerID".
<%IF (rsUser.Fields.Item("customerID").Value) =
"(rsOrderDetails.Fields.Item("& customerID
&").Value)" Then%>
Text etc...
<%Else%>
Other text etc...
<%End IF%>
The customerID in both database tables is a "bigint" type,
but when I try
the above, I get: "Type Mismatch"?
I've tried this:
<%IF (rsUser.Fields.Item("customerID").Value) =
(rsOrderDetails.Fields.Item("& customerID &").Value)
Then%>
Text etc...
<%Else%>
Other text etc...
<%End IF%>
But this also produces a Type Mismatch error.
Anything glaringly obviously wrong with this? Much
appreciated.
Nath.

Thanks Dooza, that's sorted it.
Why does ASP not recognise that they are the same format?
Appreciate the help.
Regards
Nath.

    You might want to consider using a CASE statement in future
    rather than
    multiple IF statements.

  • What is wrong with this simple CFIF statement?

    Hi, I've included a simple cfif statment to check to see if a
    user is already in the database, for some reaons the <cfelse>
    part of the statement does not work. that is, if the user is there
    it returns the recordcount and ID etc. but if it is a new user (no
    records found) it is just blank (without the nothing doing !!!) any
    ideas?
    Thanks
    Yankee

    Based strictly on the code you have shown, you do not need
    the query="getuser" in your cfoutput tag.
    Also, I would check to see if the value is greater than zero
    rather than equal to one. What if the person has more than one
    record in the database?
    Try this...
    <CFIF getuser.recordcount GT 0>
    #GetUser.RecordCount# Records Found
    <CFELSE>
    Doing Nothing
    </CFIF>

  • Can anybody see what is wrong with this SQL statement?

    Hey guys, just a quick question. Can anybody tell me what is wrong with this line of SQL? I keep getting a syntax error message. I've been trying for ages and I can't see any problem at all!"
    {code}prepStat = connection.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO WeatherHistory (Date, Location, Overview, Temperature, WindDirection, WindSpeed, Pressure) VALUES ('"+date+"','"+location+"','"+temp+"','"+windDir+"','"+windSpd+"','"+pressure+"')");{code}
    All the field names and variables definitely exist so I can't see what the problem is!

    Thanks for the replies.
    I've matched the correct number of column names and variables, but still no luck.
    And how exactly am I misusing Prepared Statements here?As noted above, not according to the code you posted. I didn't just pluck something out of my @ss and throw it out there. There was a reason behind what I said. And, if you mean you changed it, and you still got an exception, then post that exception (completely), and your new code, which is, hopefully, using PreparedStatement, (properly).

  • I can't figure out what's wrong with this code

    First i want this program to allow me to enter a number with the EasyReader class and depending on the number entered it will show that specific line of this peom:
    One two buckle your shoe
    Three four shut the door
    Five six pick up sticks
    Seven eight lay them straight
    Nine ten this is the end.
    The error message i got was an illegal start of expression. I can't figure out why it is giving me this error because i have if (n = 1) || (n = 2) statements. My code is:
    public class PoemSeventeen
    public static void main(String[] args)
    EasyReader console = new EasyReader();
    System.out.println("Enter a number for the poem (0 to quit): ");
    int n = console.readInt();
    if (n = 1) || (n = 2)
    System.out.println("One, two, buckle your shoe");
    else if (n = 3) || (n = 4)
    System.out.println("Three, four, shut the door");
    else if (n = 5) || (n = 6)
    System.out.println("Five, six, pick up sticks");
    else if (n = 7) || (n = 8)
    System.out.println("Seven, eight, lay them straight");
    else if (n = 9) || (n = 10)
    System.out.println("Nine, ten, this is the end");
    else if (n = 0)
    System.out.println("You may exit now");
    else
    System.out.println("Put in a number between 0 and 10");
    I messed around with a few other thing because i had some weird errors before but now i have narrowed it down to just this 1 error.

  • What's wrong with this simple code?

    What's wrong with this simple code? Complier points out that
    1. a '{' is expected at line6;
    2. Statement expected at the line which PI is declared;
    3. Type expected at "System.out.println("Demostrating PI");"
    However, I can't figure out them. Please help. Thanks.
    Here is the code:

    Change your code to this:

    hi,
    but the upper limit is changing everytime you call the function recursively
    so there should not be any problem(i suppose)
    my intension is to get the unmatched elements of the two vectors
    suggest me changes and thanks in advancce
    ashok
    The problems comes from the fact that you remove
    elements for a Vector while iterating in a loop where
    the upper limit as been set to the initial size of the
    Vector.
    You should use so while loops with flexible stop
    conditions that would work when the size of the Vector
    changes.
    Finally: why don't you use Vector.equals() ?

  • Can someone tell me what's wrong with this LOV query please?

    This query works fine..
    select FILTER_NAME display_value, FILTER_ID return_value
    from OTMGUI_FILTER where username = 'ADAM'
    But this one..
    select FILTER_NAME display_value, FILTER_ID return_value
    from OTMGUI_FILTER where username = apex_application.g_user
    Gives the following error.
    1 error has occurred
    * LOV query is invalid, a display and a return value are needed, the column names need to be different. If your query contains an in-line query, the first FROM clause in the SQL statement must not belong to the in-line query.
    Thanks very much,
    -Adam vonNieda

    Ya know, I still don't know what's wrong with this.
    declare
    l_val varchar2(100) := nvl(apex_application.g_user,'ADAM');
    begin
    return 'select filter_name display_value, filter_id return_value
    from otmgui_filter where username = '''|| l_val || '''';
    end;
    Gets the same error as above. All I'm trying to do is create a dropdown LOV which selects based on the apex_application.g_user.
    What am I missing here?
    Thanks,

  • What is wrong with this code? on(release) gotoAndPlay("2")'{'

    Please could someone tell me what is wrong with this code - on(release)
    gotoAndPlay("2")'{'
    this is the error that comes up and i have tried changing it but it is not working
    **Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 2, frame=1:Line 2: '{' expected

    Thanks

    If you have a frame labelled "2" then it should be:
    on (release) {
        this._parent.gotoAndPlay("2");
    or other wise just the following to go to frame 2:
    on (release) {
         this._parent.gotoAndPlay(2);
    You just had a missing curly bracket...

  • What's wrong with this function

    What's wrong with this Function(PL/SQL) in this formaula column definition in Reports 6i
    function currdateFormula return Date is
    curr_date date;
    begin
    select to_char(sysdate, 'DD-MM-YYYY') into curr_date from dual;

    end;
    I get the following error in compiling
    REP-1401. 'currdateformula'.Fatal PL/SQL error occured. ORA-01843 not a valid month.
    The SQL select to_char(sysdate, 'DD-MM-YYYY') from dual; worked well in SQL Plus prompt.
    I got a clean compile when i use just sysdate in the function (see below).
    function currdateFormula return Date is
    curr_date date;
    begin
    select sysdate into curr_date from dual;
    return(curr_date);
    end;
    Appreciate your help
    Raja Lakshmi

    hello,
    what you are trying to do :
    fetch the current date and return it as the result of the formula-column.
    what you are actually doing :
    fetch the current date, convert it to text, assign this text to a date-variable which causes an implicit type-conversion.
    in your case you create a date-string with the format dd-mm-yyyy. the implicit conversion then tries to convert this string back to date using the NLS settings of your session. depending on your NLS_LANG and NLS_DATE_FORMAT this might work, if your session-date-format is dd-mm-yyyy which obviously it is NOT as you get the error.
    what you should do :
    select sysdate into curr_date from dual;
    this fetches the sysdate and stores it in your date-variable. there is no type conversion needed what so ever.
    regards,
    the oracle reports team

    INSERT INTO xhealthcall_script_data
    (XHC_CALL_ENDED, XHC_SWITCH_PORT, XHC_SCRIPT_ID, XHC_FAX_SPECIFIED)
    VALUES (SELECT TO_DATE(HH_END_DATE||' '||HH_END_TIME,'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS'), HH_SWITCHPORT, HH_SCRIPT,'N'

    For starters, an insert select does not have a values clause.

    ...and why are you doing a UNION on the exact same two queries?
    (SELECT TO_DATE(HH_END_DATE||' '||HH_END_TIME,'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS') ,HH_SWITCHPORT ,HH_SCRIPT ,'N' FROM tmp_healthhit_load WHERE HH_SCRIPT !='BROCHURE' UNION SELECT TO_DATE(HH_END_DATE||' '||HH_END_TIME,'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS') ,HH_SWITCHPORT ,HH_SCRIPT ,'N' FROM tmp_healthhit_load WHERE HH_SCRIPT !='BROCHURE');

    Hi,
    thank you for your answer, but the problem is, if I deleted "values" as you pointed out, and then execute it again, I got error like "ERROR at line 3:
    ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel", and I was then disconnected with server, I have to relogin SQLplus, and do everything from beganing.
    so what 's wrong caused disconnection, I can't find any triggers related. it is so wired?
    I wonder if anyone can help me about this.
    thank you very much

    Hi,
    acturlly what I do is debugging a previous developer's scipt for data loading, this script was called by Cron work, but it never can be successfully executed.
    I think he use union for eliminating duplications of rows, I just guess.
    thank you

    Scratch the VALUES keyword then make sure that the select list matches the column list in number and type.
    1 insert into marktest
    2 (fld1, fld2, fld3, fld4, fld5)
    3* select * from marktest
    UT1 > /
    16 rows created.

    try this - just paste the code and give me the error- i mean past the entire error as it is if error occurs
    INSERT INTO xhealthcall_script_data
    (xhc_call_ended, xhc_switch_port, xhc_script_id,
    xhc_fax_specified)
    SELECT TO_DATE (hh_end_date || ' ' || hh_end_time, 'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS'),

    Hi, Jagan:
    thank you very much for your answer.
    but when I execute it, I still can get error like:
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
    so wired, do you have any ideas?
    thank you very much

    And this one,
    Aother question about SQL?
    I thought I already told him to deal with
    ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
    problem first.
    There's nothing wrong (syntax wise) with the query. (of course when no "value" in the insert)

    Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
    Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
    Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
    If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
    Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

  • What's wrong with this content type definition?

    Could someone tell me what's wrong with this content type definition? When I click "New Folder" in a custom list, it should bring two fields 1) Name 2) Custom Order. However in my case when I click new folder, I see 1) Member (which is totally
    weird) 2) custom order. Where is it getting that Member field from?
    <Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
    <!-- Parent ContentType: Folder (0x0120) -->
    <ContentType ID="0x012000c0692689cafc4191b6283f72f2369cff"

    Group="Custom"
    Description="Folder with order column"
    Inherits="TRUE"

    <FieldRef ID="{35788ED2-8569-48DC-B6DE-BA72A4F87B7A}" Name="Custom_x0020_Order" DisplayName="Custom Order" />
    </FieldRefs>
    </ContentType>
    </Elements>

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you had an issue about the custom content type with custom column.
    I don’t think there is any issue in the content type definition, and it also worked well in my environment.
    Did you have the Member field in the project?
    I recommend you create a simple project only with one custom Order column and one custom Folder_OrderColumn, then you can add more fields one by one.
    By doing this, it will be easier to find out the root cause of this error.
    Thanks,

    What's wrong with this Forum? Why does Adobe take so long to reply to posts?!
    This is actually "specific" to this Photoshop Forum.
    I typically get responses back from other Adobe forum promptly.
    Chime in.

    The Adobe engineering folks DO duck in here from time to time - and that's a BLESSING!  Please name any other big company where you get to interact with the engineers AT ALL.  I can't.  But I suspect the engineers actually have a lot oof real work to do, and their time here is necessarily limited.
    Your comments are more along the line of "I pay a huge amount, for that I expect better support".  These are very valid comments.  But reality is different from what we may expect, and this forum is not the place to expect Adobe support participation AT ALL.  In fact, the technical support people at Adobe often direct users to come here (something I've always found amusing).
    At the higher level, Adobe may simply not be spending enough on support for literally millions of users.  Is is greed or smart business to try to minimize support cost?  That's up for individuals to decide.
    I suggest you write a snail-mail letter to the Adobe president if you're not getting the support you need.
