An expression of non boolean type specified in context near id

Hi
Sorry for duplicate posting. I am desperately looking to solve the issue for display image tif format using datawindow inkpict. I am little bit going progress .
My Sqlserver table <mpdoc>
id <int>, empdoc <image>
In datawindow object I have given id as id and large binary column as empdoc. But after when I retrieve the datawindow it is showing the error
'an expression of non Boolean type specified in context near id' how can I fix this error.Please help
dw_1.settransobject(sqlca)
dw_1.retrieve()
I am very desperate at the moment with the powerbuilder to display tif image and also I can only get the help from this site.
if it is not working in PB, I have to use C#.
With Many Thanks
Pol

Hi wendy,
After testing the issue in my environment, I can reproduce it when I select more than one values in the @reportID parameter drop-down list. As per my understanding, it seems that you are trying to filter the dataset with the @reportID parameter. When it
doesn’t contain value ‘0’, the dataset returns values. Otherwise, no value is returned in the dataset.
If in this scenario, we can achieve this requirement with filters in the dataset. For more details, please refer to the following steps:
Modify the dataset with the below query:
SELECT 'Students report 1' AS selectRptName, 1 AS rptNumValue
UNION
SELECT 'Students report 2', 2
UNION
SELECT 'Students report 3', 3
UNION
SELECT 'Students report 4', 4
UNION
SELECT 'Students report 5', 5
ORDER BY selectRptName
Click the Filters in the left pane of Dataset Properties dialog box.
Add a filter as below:
Expression: =INSTR(JOIN(Parameters!reportID.Value,","),"0")>0
Type: Boolean
Operator: =
Value: false
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Iif() sql statement is not working please help. An expression of non boolean type specified the context

the following sql is not working . If sum(salary) = null should be displayed 1 or 0
select empname,iif((isnull(sum(salary),0)),1,0) from salary group by empname
regards

polachan

I think what you're looking at is this
select e.empname,
COALESCE(s.totalsal,0) as salary
from employee e
left join (select empname,sum(salary) as totalsal
from salary
group by empname
)s
on s.empname = e.empname
where employee represents your master table containing employee information

Hi Prabhu0505,
You may enclose the string with ' ' in SQL task if you use SQL command, then you need to adjust your delimeter to avoid wrong interepretation. I cannot say how you can fix the problem, but I remember there was more ' such as '''6050''' and so on, please find out correct SQL expression in an eclosed string.
This is one of thing I remember, I used ADO connection in SQL script task in SSIS and there were lots of SQL in command, the ' quatation is tricky one.

An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near ','

I am getting the error message, "An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near ',' " when running an ssrs 2008 r2 report.
The sql embedded in the dataset is:
IF @reportID <> 0
BEGIN
SELECT 'Students report 1' AS selectRptName, 1 AS rptNumValue
UNION
SELECT 'Students report 2', 2
UNION
SELECT 'Students report 3', 3
UNION
SELECT 'Students report 4', 4
UNION
SELECT 'Students report 5', 5
ORDER BY selectRptName
END
The sql runs fine in managment studio when I declare @reportID.
The sql runs fine with I comment out 'IF @reportID <> 0'.
The @reportID is a parmeter value that is passed to the applicable dataset.
The @reportID can have more than one value.
Thus can you show me sql and/or tell me what I need to do to solve the issue for me?

Thanks for the suggestion. I initially didnt have the RETURN TRUE after every IF statement and have since removed the 'WHEN OTHERS' section but I'm still getting the same error message. If its to be believed, doesn't it sound like its not finding any of the 3 possible parameter entries available? This can't be so, I've checked the ConC Program parameter name is correct, and the value set linked to it only has available the 3 options where I make the choice..

Problem with boolean type in Informix via ODBC

Hello,
I'm connecting to an Informix database from an Oracle database via the ODBC Gateway. The connection works fine.
However, when I select a boolean type column from a table in the Informix database, nothing is returned and I get the following error:
SQL> select "stat" from bt@informix;
ERROR:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[Informix][Informix ODBC Driver]Restricted data type attribute violation.
{07006,NativeErr = -11013}
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from INFORMIX
no rows selected
Selecting a boolean type column with isql works fine. Other column types work from Oracle.
Can anyone help me resolve this issue? Please find configuration details and traces below.

Here are my findings after consulting the unixODBC mailing list and the IBM documentation.
There are several levels of data types at play here: native Informix SQL types, Informix ODBC driver SQL types and Informix ODBC driver C types (as well as standard C types).
According to the Informix documentation (http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGU8G_11.70.0/com.ibm.odbc.doc/ids_odbc_108.htm), the ODBC driver SQL type for the native boolean type is SQL_BIT.
The traces show that the ODBC SQL type is SQL_BIT (type code -7) and that this should be converted into the SQL_C_UTINYINT ODBC C type (type code -28).

DTY    NULL-OK LEN MAXBUFLEN PR/SC CST IND MOD NAME

Oracle tries to bind the SQL_BIT type column to a buffer of SQL_C_UTINYINT type, which requires a conversion from SQL_BIT to SQL_C_UTINYINT that is apparently not supported by the Informix ODBC Driver.
According to the documentation (http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGU8G_11.70.0/com.ibm.odbc.doc/ids_odbc_108.htm) the Informix ODBC driver can only convert the SQL_BIT ODBC SQL type into SQL_C_BINARY, SQL_C_BIT and SQL_C_CHAR ODBC C types. (The ODBC C types are in turn converted into standard C types, for example the SQL_C_BIT type is converted into UCHAR which is a typedef for the standard C type unsigned char.)
A possible workaround could be to tell Informix to present boolean as a different ODBC SQL type, for example SQL_CHAR (as it would be possible with PostgreSQL by setting BoolAsCharater=1 in odbc.ini), but Informix only seems to supports the SQL_BIT ODBC SQL type.
A cumbersome workaround is to use the Gateway's pass-through feature that allows a query to be passed to Informix as is, which in turn allows us to cast the boolean field into a character field:
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> r
1 DECLARE
2    val VARCHAR2(1);
3    c    INTEGER;
4    nr INTEGER;
5 BEGIN
6    c := DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.OPEN_CURSOR@informix;
7    DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.PARSE@informix(c,'select cast (stat as character) from bt');
8    LOOP
9    nr := DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.FETCH_ROW@informix(c);
10    EXIT WHEN nr = 0;
11    DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.GET_VALUE@informix(c, 1, val);
12    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(val);
13    END LOOP;
14    DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.CLOSE_CURSOR@informix(c);

"Schema validation found non-data type errors" error when passing a string value to date field in infopath

Hi,
I have an infopath web brower enabled form. In the form i have a date field.
I am passing the data from the database to that field using the C# code.
But, as the field from database is coming as string, i am getting an error, and i am not able to assign the value.
I get the date value from database as "3/25/2011 12:00:00 AM"
I used the below code:
[CODE]
if (objInfopathFormcData.myRecievedDate != null)
myRoot.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field97", NamespaceManager).SetValue(objInfopathFormcData.myRecievedDate);
[/CODE]
I am getting the error as "Schema validation found non-data type errors".
How to set the value for a date field in Infopath.
Thank you

HI,
I fixed it:
Below code is used to fix:
[CODE]
XPathNavigator xfield = null;

if (objFormcData.FcCompletionDate != null)
xfield = myRoot.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field97", NamespaceManager);
DeleteNil(xfield);
xfield.SetValue(dtmyRecievedDate.GetDateTimeFormats().GetValue(5).ToString());
// method to delete xsi:nil
private void DeleteNil(XPathNavigator nav1)
if (nav1.MoveToAttribute("nil", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"))
nav1.DeleteSelf();

    Error in the ABAP Application Program
    The current ABAP program "ZSDR0009" had to be terminated because it has
    come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
How to correct the error
    Use only convertible operands "dst" and "src" for the statement
       "MOVE src TO dst"
    If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
    find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
    If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
    keywords:
    "UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE" " "
    "ZSDR0009" or "ZSDR0009_I02"
    "USER_COMMAND"
thanx in advance

Non-character-type structure need to be written in ASCI File in Unicode sys

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to write a structure into a ASCI file iapplication server.
My code is as follows.
data : ls_header type BBP_PDS_CTR_HEADER_D ,
       lv_filename TYPE rlgrap-filename VALUE '/interface/AEE/IN/kalandi'.
CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PD_CTR_GETDETAIL'
EXPORTING
   I_OBJECT_ID               = '4000000196'
IMPORTING
   E_HEADER                  = ls_header.
open dataset lv_filename for output in text mode encoding default .
if sy-subrc = 0.
transfer ls_header to lv_filename.
close dataset lv_filename.
endif.
but it ives a dump .
Error is :
    "TRANSFER f TO ..."
only character-type data objects are supported at the argument position
"f".
In this case. the operand "f" has the non-character-type
"BBP_PDS_CTR_HEADER_D". The
current program is a Unicode program. In the Unicode context, the type
'X' or structures containing not only character-type components are
regarded as non-character-type.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Points will be awared for appropriate Answers.

Hi,
I think here ls_header and lv_filename are not compatible to transfer the data.

Mayuri@dpka, you have syntax errors in your solution. If you're casting as varchar, then your syntax should read '1' instead of 1. Also at the end, it should be '0' instead of 0.
Mayuri,
To use your syntax, try this:
IFNULL(CASE WHEN EDM_TRD_IR_LEG.LEG_ID=1 THEN CAST(EDM_TRD_IR_LEG.PAY_RECV_IND AS INTEGER) ELSE 0 END, 0)
...if you need the result as a numeric for aggregation purposes...

What is the default value of boolean type transient attribute in VO?

Hi All,.
jdev version-11.1.2.1.0
i have created one vo based on eo where i add one boolean type transient attribute Marked(uihint checkbox).
now i have apply view criteria on this vo.
like---
     ViewObject vo=getView(iterator);
     vo.setQueryMode(ViewObject.QUERY_MODE_SCAN_VIEW_ROWS);
     ViewCriteria vc=vo.createViewCriteria();
     ViewCriteriaRow vcr=vc.createViewCriteriaRow();
     vcr.setAttribute("Marked", "true");//Setting attribute on view criteria.
       vcr.setConjunction(ViewCriteriaRow.VCROW_CONJ_AND);
       vc.setCriteriaMode(ViewCriteria.CRITERIA_MODE_CACHE);
     vo.applyViewCriteria(vc);//Apply view criteria on vo.
     vo.executeQuery();
     vc.add(vcr);
   vo.executeQuery();this code running fine and that is selected only those row which i have cheked.
but now i want to apply view criteria that select select those rows that are not checked.
like-
vcr.setAttribute("Marked", "false");but it is not return any row.
if select checked any row and then uncheked that row so marked attribute for this row set false. but rows that are unchecked by default not return.
so my question is that what is default value of Marked attribute when user not take any action i will try
vcr.setAttribute("Marked","null");
but not working.

i have tried this but this is not working.
follwing code working for Null case not for False
vcr.setAttribute("Marked","is null"); this code display all rows who has null but when i checked any row and then unchecked so that row get value "false" also not display.
