Assigning the value to VARCHAR variable with special characters

Hi Gurus,
In declare section I have
sql_text VARCHAR2(500);
in procedure body
I have to assign the variable sql_text =' SELECT TO_CHAR (MAX (A.START_DATE_TIME), 'MMYY')
FROM
JTF_IH_ACTIVITIES A, JTF_IH_INTERACTIONS B WHERE A.INTERACTION_ID =
B.INTERACTION_ID AND B.PARTY_ID = :B1 AND A.ACTION_ITEM_ID = (SELECT
ACTION_ITEM_ID FROM JTF.JTF_IH_ACTION_ITEMS_TL WHERE UPPER (ACTION_ITEM) =
'LETTER') AND A.ACTION_ID = (SELECT ACTION_ID FROM JTF.JTF_IH_ACTIONS_TL
WHERE UPPER (ACTION) = 'SENT')'
the due to the special character like ( , ' = : ) I am not able to assign the above sql to the sql_text variable. Can someone please help how I can pass above SQL statement as varchar variable.
Thanks
Naveed

How to get all the values of a variable with F4 with checkboxes to select

Dear Experts,
After Executing a query by giving let 3 values(Out of 10 Values) to a variable.
To give 2 more input values to the same variable(i.e.,total I wanted to give 5 inputs this time ),after refreshing the query,for that variable if I click F4, I am seeing the historical values(i.e.,3) and remaining 7 values also But with out any Check Boxes besides them to select the 2 inputs.
In the same F4 Screen, If I click all values(an Icon at The bottom),then also Im seeing but no check Box.
I hve tried by deleting the Delete Personalization also,but no use.
Please tell me How to get all the values with F4 with check boxes to select ,whatever I want??
Thanks in advance

Take a look at the InfoObject and go to the Business Explorer tab. If the 'Query Def. Filter Value Selection' is set to 'Only Values in InfoProvider', you're only going to get the values in F4 that exist in the InfoProvider, not everything in the Master Data. This would need to be changed to the value of 'Values in Master Data Table' if you want it to show everything possible when F4 is chosen.
Likewise, you're going to need to look at the query and go to the Advanced tab for the InfoObject. Make sure that the radio button for 'Values in Master Data Table' is selected. If not, then you should change that selection.

Assigning the value to a variable

From the front end aplication parameter the following value will be coming
into the SQL Query 'aaaa','bbbb','cccc','ddddd'
Example: Consider The user entering aaaa,bbbb,cccc,dddd four values in one of the filter from the Front end Aplication
i want to pass this value to my Stored Procedure as a Input as 'aaaa,bbbb,cccc,dddd'
So, how to convert the 'aaaa','bbbb','cccc','dddd' to 'aaaa,bbbb,cccc,dddd' format
Thanks in advance.
--Error:
DECLARE @val VARCHAR(max) = NULL
SET @val='aaaa','bbbb','cccc','dddd'
select @val
--Desired OUTPUT
DECLARE @val VARCHAR(max) = NULL
SET @val='aaaa,bbbb,cccc,dddd'
select @val
bala krishna

Thanks for your prompt response,
i will be getting input value as below:
DECLARE @val VARCHAR(max) = NULL
SET @val= ''aaaa','bbbb','cccc','dddd''
SELECT @val
SELECT REPLACE(@Val, ''',''', ',')
can you please suggest.
bala krishna
Hi Balakrishna141,
Based on my test,
Vaibhav's solution is correct. I have pass a value 'aaaa','bbbb','ccccc','dddd' from application to database, and use the replace function can give you the correct output.
SELECT REPLACE(@Val,
select * from table
DECLARE @val VARCHAR(max) = NULL
SET @val= (select * from table)
SELECT @val
SELECT REPLACE(@Val, ''',''', ',')

Change the value of a variable used in a View query

I am using JDeveloper 11g to develop a simple portlet application which displays data loaded from database. I am displaying the data by dragging the ViewObject from the AppModuleDataControl to the View.jspx page and selecting the option ADF Read-only Table. My ViewObject has a single variable :empId. Now is it possible to change the value of this variable with a value that comes from the request object. On the internet I found the following code:
        FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        Application app = facesContext.getApplication();
        ExpressionFactory elFactory = app.getExpressionFactory();
        ELContext elContext = facesContext.getELContext();
        ValueExpression valueExp =
        elFactory.createValueExpression(elContext, "#{data.AppModuleDataControl.dataProvider}",
        Object.class);
        ApplicationModule am = (ApplicationModule)valueExp.getValue(elContext);
        ViewObject emplVO;
        emplVO = am.findViewObject("EmployeeView1");
        emplVO.setNamedWhereClauseParam("empId", "1");I have put this code in the public void processAction(ActionRequest request, ActionResponse response) method. However this does not work when I deploy it.
Does anyone know if the above code is correct in this case and if there is a better way how I can set this up?

Hi there:
Did you add a break point and debug the code to see what is the value for the :empid parameters passed in to your view object?
If you are sure you have passed in the correct value for ":empid" parameter, then do the following:
String amDef = "yourAmDef";
String config = "yourConfig";
ApplicationModule am =
Configuration.createRootApplicationModule(amDef,config);
ViewObject emplVO;
emplVO = am.findViewObject("EmployeeView1");
emplVO.setNamedWhereClauseParam("empId", "1");
empVO.executeQuery();
which will execute your view object with the new bind variable value and refresh the view.
Please mark my answer as 'Correct' if it solves your problem, or 'Helpful' if it does.
Thanks,
Alex

How to read a string from file & assign the val to a variable in batch file

Hi,
How to read a string from a file and assign the value to a variable then return the value to the screen in windows batch file?
Any suggestions?
thanks.

Unless this is a homework question then I don't see the purpose of doing this, but....
You should be looking a the supplied package utl_file to get the string out of the file, dbms_output to display the string and then google windows batch/command files calling sqlplus to execute your program.

Just a simple check with special characters

Hi guys and gals,
i created a boolean method that will check the value of string for any special characters like (/,'%&^# ), what i did is to used indexOf() method. it will return false if the string doesn't have any special character. But, i'm having a problem using the check for the backlslach character ' \ ', since it is considered as escape literal when i put inside indexOf('\'). i really need you help on this.
if you have other ways to check this kind of character, please put them here. i really need them bady. :D many thanks,

Look for "\\" or look up the unicode for "\" and use that.

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

Displaying the value of an variable on the stage

I have managed to display the values contained in string variables on stage, and I am happy with that, however when I wish to display the value of an int and convert it to a string as one is supposed to do the output to the stage just calls it [class int] and does not give its value. any suggestions?
My rogram contains a stage at frame 1 which displays a word. The user must input a word. Frame 30 then displays the word which was displayed and the word input by the user. That all works fine. But the value of the variable NumberRight, which has been assigned to that variable will only display as [class int] without showing its value. (even though I have converet it to a string using the .to string function you see below).
My code is as follows;
trace( "The number correct was" + NumberRight); //This works fine in the output window and shows the value of the variable as NumberRight [class int]1 (showing the value to be 1)
outputText.appendText("in/"+textAtIN); //this works fine displaying the word presented and word input by user as in/in
outputText.appendText( NumberRight.toString(     )); //here lies the problem as it just displays [class int] and nothing else.
Yes I have managed to overcome that problem it was some code on the first frame, please excuse, however, now, is there any way to remove the [class int] bit from the displays, I wish to have the results as a clear copy of the results so that they can be printed out, without [class int] all over the place?

Hi Ned thanks for that. Yes I had accidently created blank spaces in the String() argument. (wanted to check if there was a subsequent difference in display and forgot to return them to normal ...Sorted )
Your next suggestion has eliminated the [class int] but I get a value now of 0.
My code on the first frame for a correct response for example is;
function keyPressedIN(event:KeyboardEvent):void
          if (event.keyCode == 13)/*Normally,this will move straight on to the next frame-
          recording a correct response and all that that implies in terms of scores etc. But now I have re directed it to Frame 30 to check are the variables working properly*/
                    //insert code for correct responses vowels etc.
                    VowelI = VowelI+1;
                    NumberRight = NumberRight +1;
                    stage.focus = stage;
                    //There is no need to display the text box as this is a correct response.
                    pupilsResponseIN.visible = false;
                    mainText.visible = false;
                    gotoAndPlay(30);//at the moment this takes me to the display frame to check if all is ok
On the first frame when the user say hits the Return key my code assigns the value of +1 to the variable; eg
NumberRight=NumberRight+1;
and the value of +1 to the value of VowelI
VowelI=VowelI+1
At Frame 30 the code is as follows;
stop();
trace( "The number correct was"+ NumberRight);
outputText.appendText("in/"+textAtIN);
outputText.appendText( "\n");
outputText.appendText("Vowels Correct ="+(int(VowelI).toString()));
outputText.appendText( "\n");
outputText.appendText("TotalCorrect="+(int(NumberRight).toString()));
//outputText.appendText( VowelI.toString());
Now what I am getting is
in/in
Vowels Correct = O
Total Correct = O
Yet the trace (output box) records the Number correct as [class int]1
many years ago I wrote this same program in Authorware using similar code. I am trying to re write it in FlashCS5 using ActionScript 3 and It take days to solve small problems. I notice also that If for example the user of the program makes an error and I record the error as NumberRight =NumberRight -1 the program records it as Total Correct = NaN .
I gave up on this a few months back but I am trying again. I think there must be a better way to do this. Variables do not seem to add up or subtract for me at present. no doubt its me thats got it wrong.

Assigning Javascript value to ABAP variables

This table has some input fields. I need to fetch the value of input parameters which has been entered by screen on an event which is present in Overview Page.
I can calulate the value mentioned in input field but i am not able to assign the same value to ABAP parameter for further processing.
I have already referred the following link but it did not work.

I am not understanding your problem and what you want due to description, but it seems to be very similar to a post which I answered very recently [here|How to return values from a BSP page to Javascript;.

Setting VarChar Variable with String Parameter in Crystal Report Add Command

Setting a VarChar Variable with a String Parameter in a Crystal Report 2008 SP6.3 Add Command is causing an error with a SQL State of 42000. The Error Code depends on which value I select for the parameter. I created the @DateOpt string parameter in the Modify Command window, not in the report. If I comment out line 14 of the SQL the error does not occur.
I have attached the SQL Code and screen shots of the errors. Please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Since your parameter is of type STRING, you need to enclose references to it within the Command inside single quotes.
For example, instead of
SET @BeginDate ={?BeginDate}
use
SET @BeginDate ='{?BeginDate}'

Evaluating the value of a variable in OpenScript

I am attempting to navigate through screens and views based on a spreadsheet containing the applicable screens/views. I am using variables based on a dataset which I have been successful in substituting into the various method calls to change views, etc. What I am attempting to do is use the value of the variable in an "if" condition statement to drive the flow of the script. I have tried referring to it directly and have also tried setting it to a different variable and referencing it. Neither approach worked (I've commeted out some of the approaches). Instead of using the value, it appears to be using the literal string which prevents the usage of the variable (I know this from the result of the test since it calls gotoScreen instead of gotoView as well as the showMessageDialog which displayed the literal string of {{db.ViewList.ScreenName}}. I have also tried testing the reverse logic (if ("{{db.ViewList.ScreenName}}" != "Accounts Screen")) which also helps prove that it's not working. Here is the code snippet:
          for (int i = 0; i < 70; i++)
               getDatabank("ViewList").getNextDatabankRecord();
//               String sScreenName = "{{db.ViewList.ScreenName}}";
//               getVariables().set("vScreenName", "{{db.ViewList.ScreenName}}");
//               String sScreenName = getVariables().get(vScreenName);
//          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Screen Name is: " + sScreenName);
//          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Screen Name is: {{vScreenName}}");
//               if (sScreenName.isEmpty() || sScreenName == null)
//               if (sScreenName.length() == 0)
//               if (sScreenName != "Accounts Screen")
               if ("{{db.ViewList.ScreenName}}" == null || "{{db.ViewList.ScreenName}}" == "")
                    siebelFT
                         .pageTabs(

                         .gotoView("{{db.ViewList.ViewName}}");
               } else

In Java, consider using equals for comparing strings instead of == or !=. In Java the equality and inequality operators compare the String Object references and not actual values. Two variables with the same characters may not be equal if they point to different objects in memory. The equals method will compare the actual values of the variables.
Example 1: Using the equal operator to compare two strings
if ( !eval("{{db.ViewList.ScreenName}}").equals("Accounts Screen") )
Example 2: Making the comparison case insensitive
if ( !eval("{{db.ViewList.ScreenName}}").toLowerCase().equals("accounts screen") )
Example 3: Case insensitive and trimming spaces and new line characters before making the comparison will make it less likely to fail in case there are spaces at the beginning or at the end of the string. Sometimes is difficult to see these spaces. I trim strings often specially when they come from an HTML or XML source because not everybody is consistent with the use of spaces.
if ( !eval("{{db.ViewList.ScreenName}}").trim().toLowerCase().equals("accounts screen") )
Note the ! sign as the first character inside the "if" is used to say that we want the opposite of the outcome of the equals method. This is used in this case because we want "not equal to".

Hi Vinayak,
     you will be having your first program values in internal table or some variables,
    when you are calling the second program you wii use like this,
    SUBMIT <Second Program Name> USING SELECTION-SCREEN '1000'
                       WITH s_emp(second program select-options)   IN t_emp(first program variables)

How to assign the Value to the Particular field-Text field

Hi all,
My requirement is to call the Web service with input from the ADF page.
Steps I have done:
1. I have created a Web service data control based on the WSDL file.
2. Just drag and drop the Process, It is automatically created the form with the Input fields and then the Process button
3. When I entered the values and then process button it will pass the values corretly.the web service is invoked correctly with the values entered.
4. But when I try to assign the value from the some other field that is not working.
I am assigning the Value to the field by go to the properties of the Particular field value =”CREATE”
When I do like this that value is showing in the screen. But it will not pass the value to the web service.
I think the value is only displaying in the screen. Not stored at bindings level. Kindly guide me in this.
Thanks in Advance
C.Karukkuvel

If you want to have the value that is returned displayed in a field that has binding to another item and not the WS result item then the way to do this would be to override the method that is invoked with the button that calls the web service - you then take the result and assign it to the item you want.
See the way it is done here:

While this sample uses a simple method it would be basically the same for a Web service.
