Call function written in COBOL on VMS from forms 6i..

Hi,
My oracle database is on VMS OS (oracle 8i). I am developing my application in forms 6i.
I need to make a call to the job written in cobol in VMS.
Could anyone tell me please how can I achieve that.
I tried using HOST command but it invokes the msdos command prompt and gives the error that "submit is not an internal command or batch job"
Code that I have written is :
l_command :=
'SUBMIT/NOTIFY/LOG=BME_LOG_DIR:/KEEP/NOPRINT' ||
'/QUEUE=' || 'BME$REPORTING' ||
'/NAME=' || :B3_SCR2.PAR_CODE ||
'/PARAMETER=' || l_parameters ||
'BME_COM_DIR:' || :B3_SCR2.PAR_CODE;
Host (l_command);
SUMBIT/NOTIFY/LOG are the commands of VMS.
Help Please it's urgent..??

The HOST command in Forms can only call procedures on the client that runs Forms (assuming you run Forms in client/server mode, this is the user's PC).
If you want to run a procedure on the database host, you have to call this procedure from the database, not from Forms.
In 8i the easiest way is to do this via a Java stored procedure:

Requirement to call Function Module in Workflow

Hi,
I have been assigned to task wherein i have a requierement like this . I have created a workflow with step user decision with 2 options. Now the thing is that when user select one of option i need to call function module and based on result from
workflow i need to done further processing. Since there is no event to trigger workflow i am using function module
SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW to trigger workflow .
Kindly suggest me how would i call Function module in workflow. i.e. What are the ways( or by which step type facilitate
me to call FM ) by which i should call FM and do further processing based on result.
Thanks
Parag

Follow the below steps inorder to call a fucntion module from the workflow
1. First you have to create either a business class or a Business object.... from SWO1 txn..
2. Create a method in the BOR and while created the system will prompt a message that would you like to create by using any FM here you need to specify the name of the FM that you want to use in the workflow...
3. ONce the method is created and the code will be generated automaticlaly by the system.. and then you have to create a standard task from PFTC txn..
4. Once the task is created then you have to use the same task in the workflow.. by creating a activity step ...
That's all..

Calling a COBOL stored proc from Java Servlet

I am trying to call a COBOL stored proc from a Java Servlet. The stored proc is stored on a DB2 database. I need to send 6 inputs to the COBOL stored proc and the output will be the return code of the stored proc. I'm not sure if I'm going about this the right way. This is how my code looks...
public int callStoredProc(CallableStatement cstmt,
Connection con,
String sYear,
String sReportNbr,
String sSystemCode,
String sUserId,
String sModuleNbr,
String sFormId){
int iParm1 = 0;
try{
Class.forName ("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
catch(ClassNotFoundException ex){
System.out.println("Failed to locate database driver: "
+ ex.toString());
return iParm1;
try{
cstmt = con.prepareCall("{? = CALL MKTPZ90C
cstmt.registerOutParameter(1, Types.INTEGER);
cstmt.setString(2, sYear);
cstmt.setString(3, sReportNbr);
cstmt.setString(4, sSystemCode);
cstmt.setString(5, sUserId);
cstmt.setString(6, sModuleNbr);
cstmt.setString(7, sFormId);
cstmt.execute();
iParm1 = cstmt.getInt(1);
CloseSQLStatement(cstmt);
catch(SQLException ex) {
CloseSQLStatement(cstmt);
System.out.println("SQL exception occurred:" +
ex.toString());
return iParm1;
return iParm1;
Could someone tell me if this is the right way to go about doing this?
Thanks!!!!!!

I didn't see the code where you create the database connection (variable "con"). However, the answer to your question "Is this the right way...", for me, is "Anything that works is the right way." So try it. That's a first approximation, but once you have something that works you can start on improving it, if that becomes necessary.

Computer name in R3 when call function RFC from CRM to R3

Hi all,
i nead the computer name in R3 when I come to R3 from CRM .
In R3 i call function 'TERMINAL_ID_GET' in R3   but I don't retrieve the computer name.
i tried also to call function 'TERMINAL_ID_GET' in destination 'CRM'   but I don't retrieve the computer name.
The code in R3:
CALL FUNCTION 'TERMINAL_ID_GET' DESTINATION 'R3GETCRM'
      EXPORTING
        username             = sy-uname
      IMPORTING
        terminal             = l_terminal_usr41
      EXCEPTIONS
        multiple_terminal_id = 1
        no_terminal_found    = 2
        OTHERS               = 3.
This function works ok when i call her direct from R3 or direct from CRM,
but not give me in R3 the computer name when i came to R3 From CRM.
Thanks for your cooperation.
dany

thats because 'TERMINAL_ID_GET' is not a RFC (check the attributes tab of the FM from SE37)
if you dont find a RFC to do t his you can wrap this FM with a custom RFC and use it.
if you want all the logged on users info (computer name and other info) then you can use THUSRINFO FM which a RFC

Call function in external .js from stage.onCompletion

I have my edge composition, and some functions in sim.js
within the stage.onCompletion event, I have:
$("<script type='text/javascript' src='sim.js'></script>").appendTo("#Stage");
how can I call functions, e.g. "testMe()" that are in sim.js from within the stage.onCompletion event?
$("testMe()"); was my first thought, but no. what am I missing?

Lloydie maybe you can help me with this similar problem here (i think it is similar)
I am uncertain that i can use "transform" in edge, transform belongs to jquery.transform.js library. I am particulalry interested in animate({transform:.... to animate rotation and scales.
Can I call the transform.js into the stage like the way you called your custom .js?
Can we import additional libraries ?

Calling functions in a package from jdbc

I am trying to call a function in a PL/SQL package from a java program using JDBC. Is this a valid option? The statement I am using is the following:
stProc = myconnect.prepareCall ("{? = call process_monitor_pkg.open_sod_cursor}");
I am receiving the following error message:
Errorjava.sql.SQLException: ORA-06576: not a function or procedure
I have verified that the function/package is defined and that I have the correct output parameter registered.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try this :
stProc = myconnect.prepareCall (
"{ ? = call process_monitor_pkg.open_sod_cursor() }");
You have to put parenthesis even if there's no parameters...

What is the syntax for calling function from class file by jsp

does anyone here knows what is the syntax of how to call a function from java class file by javascript code or any way to call it?
and where should i put the calling function code? because the function is called depend on the user click.
for example
<%=pc.functionName(a,b)%>
for the variable a and b, how can i get the value from html textbox and put it in a and b...
urgent needed...
thx

Jsp's are executed before the Html forms are created and loaded. Dont try to use a java code function calling on a javascript click. You'll have to explicitly redirect it into a servlet where in you can call the function you want.
Well! another way could be using AJAX. That seems to be powerfull enough and it might also serve your purpose.
Hope this helps

CALL function to extract data from a structure table

Hi Gurus,
Anyone knows how to write a call function to extract data from a structure table?
Your help is very much appreciated.
Thanks alot.

Hi,
structure doesnot hold any data. instead of it you can check the stucture in which table it is used, find the table name,use select query to extract the data u needed.
you can use where used list option to find the structure in which table it is used.

Can we call Function Module from Process Chain?

Hello experts,
I have a small question.
Can we call Function Module(SE37) from Process Chain?
If yes can you please provide some example link?
I m new to BI world.

Hi,
Create one ABAP program and call the function module from that program. Check the link to know how to call a function module from an ABAP program.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_wp/helpdata/en/d1/801edb454211d189710000e8322d00/content.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_wp/helpdata/en/9f/db98ef35c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm
Then use process type "ABAP Program" in your process chain and add the program you have created. So then this program will be executed via process chain and this program will call the function module.
