6i report ref cursor exception no_data_found

I have a simple report with one ref cursor query on a database packaged procedure.
The Data Model function has an exception handler for no_data_found.
The exception sets a local variable in a program unit spec.
A field with a message based on a place holder column does not return.
I am trying to give some message to the user & am not having luck.
Ideas?
Thank you.

You can create a text field with the text "No data found".
This field gets a format trigger
if <your condition for no data found> then
return true;
else
return false;
end;

Ref cursor help in Reports/pl sql

From oracle forms, we have a table and one of the columns from that table returns rows and the result are like ( select name, messaging_id, listing_id from dynamic_message group_query) ..I am trying to join this table with other tables based on a group type, based on if it returns 'D' or 'S' to other groups in report.

Maybe something like my second example "Dynamic Table in the Second Query with Oracle Reports"
- ref cursor or "simple" query Q1, which has a column "group_type", linked to a ref cursor query Q2.
Ref cursor query Q2 - pseudo code for function:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY grp IS
FUNCTION A_join_B_or_A_join_C_join_D
(p_group_type CHAR(1), p_group_number NUMBER)
RETURN dynamic_refcur
IS
l_refcur dynamic_refcur;
l_stmt_str VARCHAR2(2000) := NULL;
BEGIN
IF p_group_type = 'S' THEN
    -- join A and B
    OPEN l_refcur FOR
      SELECT ...
        FROM A, B
       WHERE A.x = B.y;
ELSE -- p_group_type = 'D'
    SELECT resolved_query
      INTO l_stmt_str
      FROM dynamic_message_group_query
     WHERE group_number = p_group_number;
    -- join A, C and D (= dynamically created SELECT)
    OPEN l_refcur FOR
      'SELECT ...
         FROM A, C, (' || l_stmt_str || ') D
        WHERE A.x = C.y
          AND A.z = D.t';
END IF;
RETURN l_refcur;
END;

So if I do something as follows in my stored proc, I do not have to check for NO_DATA_FOUND?
OPEN my_CuRSR FOR
SELECT DISTINCT blah blah blahmy_cursr is what I am returning as OUT param in my SP.Correct. At the point you open the cursor, oracle has not attempted any 'fetch' against the data so it won't know if there is any data or no data. that only occurs when a fetch is attempted.

Ref cursor in exception block

Hi all.. I have a stored procedure that needs to return a records to Crystal Report.
I'm using an outpur parameter of type cursor.
In the proc, I am selecting the data from a table based on the input criteria and inserting into a GTT table,
if so, retrieve and store in the table and generate and throw output to CR.
if it is not returning any data i should raise exception and throw the related message to CR.
But in my proc even though it wont insert data into table b going inot next statements where it should not go.
create or replace procedure a(a1 varchar2,ref_cur out pkg1.cru)
as
cnt number;
begin
insert into b
(select * from a where a.col=a1);
commit;
open ref_cur for
select a.col from a;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR (-20001, SQLERRM);
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
open ref_cur for
select 'No Data Found' col from dual;
end;
1.please suggest wherer to raise exception when "select * from a where a.col=a1" doesn't return any value.
2. Can ref cursor be used in exception block.
if i use condition like
after the insert statement
select count(*) into cnt from b;
if cnt=0 then
raise NO_DATA_FOUND;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR (-20001, SQLERRM);
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
open ref_cur for
select 'No Data Found' col from dual;
please suggest any other way to handle
Thanks in advance

First and foremost some fundamental things:
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR (-20001, SQLERRM);
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
open ref_cur for
select 'No Data Found' col from dual;
end;1. You can not declare WHEN OTHERS before any other EXCEPTION. You can not compile this. Here you have declared WHEN OTHERS first then NO_DATA_FOUND and it is erroneous.
2. This is not the way you want to handle the WHEN OTHERS exception.
WHEN OTHERS_

Report using ref cursor or dynamic Sql

Hi,
I never create a report using a ref cursor or a dynamic sql. Could any one help me to solve the below issue.
I have 2 tables.
1. Student_Record
2. Student_csv_help
Student_Record the main table where the data is stored.
Student_csv_help will contain the all the column names of the Student_record.
CREATE TABLE Student_CSV_HELP
ENTRY_ID NUMBER,
RAW_NAME VARCHAR2(40 BYTE),
DESC_NAME VARCHAR2(1000 BYTE),
IN_OUTPUT_LIST VARCHAR2(1 BYTE)
SET DEFINE OFF;
Insert into TOA_CSV_HELP
(ENTRY_ID, RAW_NAME, DESC_NAME, IN_OUTPUT_LIST)
Values
(1, 'S_ID', 'Student ID', 'Y');
Insert into TOA_CSV_HELP
(ENTRY_ID, RAW_NAME, DESC_NAME, IN_OUTPUT_LIST)
Values
(2, 'S_Name', 'Student Name', 'Y');
Insert into TOA_CSV_HELP
(ENTRY_ID, RAW_NAME, DESC_NAME, IN_OUTPUT_LIST)
Values
(3, 'S_Join_date', 'Joining Date', 'Y');
Insert into TOA_CSV_HELP
(ENTRY_ID, RAW_NAME, DESC_NAME, IN_OUTPUT_LIST)
Values
(4, 'S_Address', 'Address', 'Y');
Insert into TOA_CSV_HELP
(ENTRY_ID, RAW_NAME, DESC_NAME, IN_OUTPUT_LIST)
Values
(5, 'S_Fee', 'Tution Fee', 'N');
commit;
CREATE TABLE Student_record
S_ID NUMBER,
S_Name VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
S_Join_date date,
S_Address VARCHAR2(360 BYTE),
S_Fee Number
Insert into Student_record
(S_ID, S_Name, S_Join_date, S_Address,S_Fee)
Values
(101, 'john', TO_DATE('12/17/2009 08:00:00', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'), 'CA-94777', 2000);
Insert into Student_record

Commit;
Now my requirement is:
I have a form with Student_record data block. When i Click on print Button on this form. It will open another window which has Student_CSV_HELP.DESC_NAME and a check box before this.
The window look like as below:
check_box       DESC_NAME+
X                   S_ID+
--                   S_Name+
X                   S_Join_date+
X                   S_Address+
--                  S_Fee+
X means check box checked.+
-- means check box Unchecked.+
After i selected these check boxes i will send 2 parameters to the report server
1. a string parameter to the report server which has the value 'S_ID,S_Join_date,S_Address' (p_column_name := 'S_ID,S_Join_date,S_Address');
2. the s_id value from the student_record block (p_S_id := '101');
Now my requirement is when i click on run. I need a report like as below:
Student ID : 101+
Joining Date : 12/17/2009 08:00:00+
Address : CA-94777+
This is nothing but the ref cursor should run like as below:
Select S_id from student_record block S_id = :p_S_id;
Select S_Join_date from student_record block S_id = :p_S_id;
Select S_Address from student_record block S_id = :p_S_id;
So, according to my understanding i have to select the columns at the run time. I dont have much knowledge in creating reports using ref cursor or dynamic sql.
So please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Plain sql should satisfy your need. Try ....
Select S_id, S_Join_date, S_Address
from student_record
where S_id = :p_S_id

Dynamic Ref Cursor report in 6i

Hello,
I apologise that this question is so similar to many in this forum, but I haven't found a solution to my problem yet.
I've created a ref cursor query because I need to include a variable p_orgs in my WHERE clause, like so:
where e.org_id in ('||p_orgs||')
I've constructed the report as mentioned on this page:
www.dulcian.com
FAQs - SQL & PL/SQL FAQs - FAQ ID# 5:
"How can you use 'dynamic' ref cursors in Oracle Reports 3.0 / 6i?"
(Thanks to Zlatko Sirotic for the information).
I get a compile error when compiling the package body that holds my ref cursor open statement:
Error 103 Encountered the symbol ''select'' when expecting one of the following:
Select
Is there any way around this problem?
If I was to upgrade to Reports 9i would it work?
Many thanks,
Hazel

Hello,
Just a remark : you don't need to use a Ref Cursor if you just want to use a "dynamic where clause".
You can use a lexical reference :
You can find examples at :
http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/reports/10.1.2/topics/htmlhelp_rwbuild_hs/rwwhthow/whatare/dmobj/sq_a_lexical_references.htm
(This page is about Reports 10.1.2 but Lexical references are identical in Reports 6i and Reports 10.1.2)

How to open a Ref cursor in Oracle Reports

I have a stored procedure that returns a ref cursor as an output parameter. I want to call this stored procedure in Oracle Reports After Form trigger. I am having trouble with the syntax of the output parameter. Event_record is the name of the cursor.
After Form Trigger
pkg_DEAL_WHITESHEET_CONCERTS.prc_Event_Information(:p_field_6,event_record);
Error: Event_record must be declared

Re-Write the procedure as Package Spec and Body. Declare the REFCursor in the Package Spec. Probably that helps.

Cursors are not closed when using Ref Cursor Query in a report ORA-01000

Dear Experts
Oracel database 11g,
developer suite 10.1.2.0.2,
application server 10.1.2.0.2,
Windows xp platform
For a long time, I'm hitting ORA-01000
I have a 2 group report (master and detail) using Ref Cusor query, when this report is run, I found that it opens several cursors (should be only one cursor) for the detail query although it should not, I found that the number of these cursors is equal to the number of master records.
Moreover, after the report is finished, these cursors are not closed, and they are increasing cumulatively each time I run the report, and finally the maximum number of open cursors is exceeded, and thus I get ORA-01000.
I increased the open cursors parameter for the database to an unbeleivable value 30000, but of course it will be exceeded during the session because the cursors are increasing cumulatively.
I Found that this problem is solved when using only one master Ref Cursor Query and create a breake group, the problem is solved also if we use SQL Query instead of Ref Query for the master and detail queries, but for some considerations, I should not use neither breake group nor SQL Query, I have to use REF Cursor queries.
Is this an oracle bug , and how can I overcome ?
Thanks

Thank you Inol for your answer, However

REF Cursor in Reports 3.0.5.8

I have developed a report (REPORTS 3.0.5.8)based on REF Cursor
Query. I Created a local Package and called the function in the
package in the QR_1RefCurDS function. I am able to get the
results when I tried to run from my machine.
The report was compiled, saved and generated and copied the REP
file on to a different machine on the N/W.
But when I tried to access the same report over the network, it
fails giving the following error:
REP-1401: 'beforereport': Fatal PL/SQL error occured.
ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find the program unit being called.
Runtime Engine and REP file reside on a single machine and I
access the report in the following format:
//Computer Name/Oracle_Home/Bin/R30RUN32.EXE //Computer
Name/D/ReportName.Rep userid/password@SID
I have been unsuccessful after trying to move the package to the
database(I get a Virtual memory error ! !)
Is there any other way to accomplish the same task(dynamic
changing of the SQL statements) ?? Is LEXICAL Parameters is the
only answer apart from the REF Cursor which does not work ?????
Database:
Oracle Server Release 7.3.4.3.0
Oracle PL/SQL V2.3.4.3.0 Production Release
Reports 3.0.5.8:
Oracle Server Release 7.3.4.0.0
Oracle PL/SQL V2.3.4.0.0 Production Release
Does this make a difference ????
Thanks a bunch...

To implement the solution, two one-off patches should be applied to
Oracle Reports %ORACLE_HOME% Please execute the following steps:
1. Download the following two one-off patches from Metalink:
One-off Patch 4505133
One-off Patch 5634746
But since I am a home user, so how I can download these patches and test.

You can't without metalink access.

How to write REF-CURSOR Query in Oracle Reports

Hello Guys!!
I have a form in which you can select regions/divisions/locations etc by the use of check boxes. And the selected values will be inserted into a table, and based on the selected values of the table the report is run.
The issue I have is with the query inside the Oracle reports(attached to this file).
The query works fine until the last two EXISTS conditions.
IF a region exists In the table report_param then it works fine but if there are no divisions in it , then the query returns no values, which is not correct.
Someone has advised me to use a ref-cursor query inside reports tool, which I am not aware off. So, anykind of suggestions or advises are welcome. Please let me know about it as it is very urgent issue for me. Anykind of help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
Vishal

Hi,
I need your help to create a report using Ref-Cursor. please see the below thread
Report using ref cursor or dynamic Sql

Reports 3.0, Ref Cursor from stored procedure

I have a problem trying to use Ref Cursor as datasource (i.e.
Ref Cursor Query) in Reports 3.0
I have created a stored package with a function which returns
Ref Cursor.
That function just opens the cursor and returns it to the
calling module.
Reports recognizes returned cursor - it creates a group for that
query, with all columns, than I built
a layout model - everything is OK on that stage.
During the execution of that report (from previewer or using
Reports Runtime) I got an error message like that:
REP-0065 Virtual Memory System Error
REP-0200 Cannot allocate enough memory cavaa22
Error's description does not correspond the reality :) - there
is enough virtual & physical memory according to
Task Manager information.
So, that does not work when this package is stored one.
When I create the package on the client side - in Reports -
everything works just fine.
Cursor is opened with a very simple query, selecting records
from the very simple table having only one record.
There is no code written which closes that cursor or fetches the
records.
Client platform: WinNT 4.0 SP3
Oracle Reports: 3.0.5.8.0
Oracle Server: Oracle8 8.0.5.0.0 (and I tried also on Oracle7
7.3.4.3.0)
Thanx.

Sara,
GTT (Global Temporary Tables) in Oracle work a different way compared to SQL Server and Informix. There you can create temporary tables on the fly and drop them on the fly.
Here you should (note, you don't have to, but, best practice says that you should) create the table using the syntax...
create global temporary table.....
Once you create it, even though it looks like persistent table, it's not. It will have it's own individual data PER SESSION . You have two types of GTTs:
ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS and ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS (they work in slightly different way).
Look up GTTs here:

Dynamic queries in report builder 6i ( ref cursor query )

Hi everyone,
My requirement is that I want to create a report where the query is dynamic. The dynamic part will be known at runtime as it is being passed via a parameter. My query looks like this :
select * from emp where sal :p1 :p2
Possible values for :p1 are - '>', '<', '>=', '<=', '=', '!='
Possible values for :p2 are - any value entered by the user
I tried creating a query in report builder based on a ref cursor. But it does not allow me to create the query for the ref cursor dynamically. That means I have to hardcode the query in the program.
I tried using place holder columns without success.
Can someone please help me ?
Regards,
Al

Hi,
You can use lexical paramters in the sql query
x - char - parameter
select * from emp &x
you need to pass the value for x in the parameter as
'where sal < 1234'.
Note : Lexical variable should be of char datatype.
This is an alternative to the ref cursors.
This works. Hope this is clear.

Converting cursor to ref cursor in Report builder pl/sql

Hi,
I am trying to use dynamic sql in My report 's pl/sql code.
I can not use execute Immediate statement since this feature is not suppoerted at client side and i am doing the coding In my local mchine and running the report loaclly.......???
Another way to use dynamic sql is by using dbms_sql package.
Using dbms_sql to run a sql will give me a normal cursor as an output.
Since in report builder pl/sql only ref cursor is allowed as a return type from a function........the problem i m facing is conversion of the cursor to ref cursor......
in oracle 11g we have a built in function in dbms_sql package that can be used for the conversion....
i m using oracle 10 g where the above mentioned feature is not available............
Please give some way to resolve this issue............!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks in Advance.....!!!!!!!

You may use some stored procedures that will take full advantage of dynamic SQL. Make a stored proc that inserts rows in a global temporary table. You will call that stored proc in the afterpform trigger. And you will have the report querry select from the temporary table populated by the stored proc.
I did some things like that.

Ref cursor in Reports details

Hi All
we are planning to create a D2K report using
ref cursor the problem for me is that i want to know
whether it is feasible for creating a report which
contains around 5 complicated queries and number of
formula columns etc.can you please give me points
how to go about or if it is not feasible can you
give me the reasons for that.

Hello,
Ref Cursor queries are useful in sharing queries across reports, and exploiting commonality between them. You can segregate your individual queries into ref cursors and combine them in your data model. You can also create formula columns based on data fetched by the ref cursor, since Reports treats any data fetched from the data source in a generic manner.
Please take a look at the 'Building a Paper Report with Ref Cursors' section of the 'Building Reports' manual on OTN at http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/docs/B10310_01/orbr_refcur.htm#1009556 for further details on building and using ref cursor reports.
Thanks,
The Oracle Reports Team.
