Calling a Function from Report

I am writing a user report. It is a "Char From SQL" with a simple SELECT statement. In the select query I call a PL/SQL function inside a package, which was developed for reporting. But I get ORA-00904: invalid identifier. Running the select statement from SQLPluse does not give any error and gets right result. Both the package and the report are owned by SYSMAN.
Is it true that a report cannot call a user defined function or procedure?
Thanks for any input.

Okay, I did not create the package and report under SYSMAN at first try. They were created under another EM administrator. I got the error. So I then tried with SYSMAN and got the same error. So the package and report owner is not the cause of the issue here.
The reason I need to create the package is the functions and procedures in this package will be used by multiple reports.
Thanks.

Calling databse function from report end. Using Evaluate function.

Hi All,
We have a req where we need to call the backend functions from the report end. I have seen that Evaluate function can be used to do the same. I tried replicating the same same but it didnt work.
Can any one please elaborate more on this. Syntax & other details. We need to also pass on parameters to the function, probably some column value.
Also please do let me know where all changes need to be done... RPD etc if applicable.
This is the functiion we need to replicate in OBIEE.

Thanks,

Hey Pankaj,
I got solution for your issue...
Under any logical table.. you create a logical column and
Select Existing logical columns as source checkbox
Click on Eclipse button..
Now here you write..
EVALUATE('dwh.dwh_pa_get_si_value_f(%1,%2,%3,%4,%5)' ,Pa_Projects_All_V.Project_Id,Pa_Periods_All_V.Period_Name,-1,Dwh_Pa_Project_Si_Info.Currency_Type,Dwh_Pa_Task_Si_V.Task_Number,'R')
And click ok..
Hope it works..
it worked for me..
Thanks & Regards

Calling javascript function from report customization form

I have been unable to call any user-defined javascript function from Portal Report Customization forms.
Even a simple Message Box function doesn't work. I've been placing my code in the ..after header PL/SQL section for the report customization form.
htp.p('<script type="javascript">');
htp.p('function MsgBox(message){');
htp.p('alert(message);}');
htp.p('</script>');
htp.p('See if it works');
I have verified in plain html that my syntax is fine. Even the syntax rendered by portal is correct:
<script type="javascript">
function MsgBox(message){
alert(message);}
</script>
See if it works
Despite this, you will get a javascript error that an Object is expected, MsgBox not defined. Clearly from the script above MsgBox is defined.
I have tried any number of calls to user defined functions and can't get anything to work. However, calling native functions like 'alert' works fine ( ie
See if it works
Anyone know how I can call a user defined javascript function in a Portal Report Customization form?

Try changing the code
htp.p('<script type="javascript">');
to
htp.p('<script language="javascript">');

Calling ORACLE Functions from within CF Builder report

Hi, I have an ORACLE function that I would like to call from within my CF REPORT.
I know there is a section in the report builder where you can write coldfusion code to perform tasks, but I would rather simply call the ORACLE function for each detail row in the report
I do not want to call this function from within my main ORACLE query that I use for the report, so please don't suggest that.
Thanks so much.

Calling a function from a DLL, exectution in background mode.

Dear Experts,
We have created an ABAP report the calls a function from a DLL file. If the report is executed in on-line mode the program calls and executes the function from the DLL, but if the ABAP programa is executed in background mode it doesnt calls the DLL function.
Do you know a way to solve the problem when executing in background mode?
Best regards.

Hi Gabriel,
Let me explain in details about my DLL function.
We are importing the business partners from legacy system into the SAP CRM system, so at the moment we created the BP master data via BAPI, I get the name of the BP and this moment I call the function in the DLL file. I export the parameter name and I receive back a simplified string with the name reduced to a code. This code I get back from the dll it is insert in a Z table, so there is no interaction in the screen, all must be executed in background mode, because there are a lot of business partners to be converted in SAP system.
I am sending my code for your considerations.

Can I call a function from a dll in LabVIEW that returns:double*string and int.?

I have a function from a dll that return a double* string and an integer. How can I call this function from LabVIEW? There is a possibility to work in LabVIEW with a double* string?

Two difficulties I can see with this.
First the application seems to allocate the array of references
internally and return a pointer to that array. In that case there must
be another function which then deallocates that array again.
Then you would need to setup the function call to have a pointer to an
int32 number for the deviceList parameter and another pointer to int32
one for the plItems parameter.
Then create another function in your DLL similar to this:
HRESULT WRAPIEnumExtractDevice(WRAPI_NDIS_DEVICE *lpDeviceList, long i,
CHAR lpszDeviceName, LONG lenDeviceName,
CHAR lpszDeviceDesc, LONG lenDeviceDesc)
if (!lpDeviceList)
return ERROR_INV_PARAMETER;
if (lpDeviceList[i].pDeviceName)
WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP, 0,
pDeviceList[i].pDeviceName, -1,
lpszDeviceName, lenDeviceName,
NULL, NULL);
if (lpDeviceList[i].pDeviceName)
WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP, 0,
pDeviceList[i].pDeviceDescription, -1,
lpszDeviceDesc, lenDeviceDesc,
NULL, NULL);
return NO_ERROR;
Pass the int32 you got from the first parameter of the previous call as
a simple int32 passed by value to this function (and make sure you don't
call this function with a higher index than (plItems - 1) returned from
the first function.

Calling user function from Interface mapping

I am getting error "Bad query:ORA-00904: invalid identifier" while calling function in the mapping of an interface.
Can some one provide the syntax of calling user function from interface mapping.
Thanks,
RP

You have 2 types of calls. SQL and PL/SQL.
To call a function via SQL, it can be done using a the standard cursor interface. E.g.
select MyFunkyFunction from dualIt will return the function value via a single row with a single column. The standard cursor fetch and close cursor calls are used.
To call it via PL/SQL, an anonymous PL/SQL block is needed, and the caller needs to use a bind variable to receive the value from the function. The anon block will look as follows:
begin
:bindVar := MyFunkyFunction;
end;Refer to your client's abstract layer for interfacing with the Oracle Call Interface, on how to deal with bind variables.

How to call oracle function from ejb3

}Basically you just ignore the refcursor outbound parameter.
This is a stored function, have yet to try outbound refcursor parameters in stored procedures...

Calling a function from SQL prompt that returns a record

Hi,
I've been trying to execute a function that is present on a different database. for eg. I am loged on to a database say 'A' and trying to execute a function present in database 'B'. this function is present in a package 'X' which has 2 functions and two procedures. From the packages i am able to execute the two procedures and one of the function.
So i guess it is not a problem with the access permissions. The function that i am trying to call say function I has got 3 OUT
parameters and 1 IN parameter. the Function returns a record. When i try to execute this function i get an error. Can you please let me know as to how exactly i need to call this function from the SQL prompt...
thanx in advance
null

Hi Anand,
As your function has 3 OUT parameters and it returns a record you can not just call it from SQL Plus. You need to write small PL/SQL program and use variables to hold the OUT values and the returned record.
Good Luck,

Calling a function from within a movieclip

How do I do this, and Is it wrong to do it this way?
I have a movieclip on the timeline and within that movieclip
it has buttons which I've placed listeners. I'm doing it this way
rather than putting the code in the document class because the
buttons don't appear right away in the movieclip (not until around
frame 10). The function is defined in the document class because it
is used with other movieclips.
Anyone have an idea on how to properly do this?

Well, I'm at least not getting an error - however, nothing is
happening when I click the button to call the function (which is
indeed public). Inside the function is a simple trace. I've even
added a param to the function just for fun, and there's no error
when calling the function from the button.

Calling a function from a dll written by using visual studio c++

Hi, how can i call a function from a dll which is written by visual studio c++ in test stand? Although the functions in dll are exported and i've chosen c/c++ adapter, i saw no function in test stand. Is there a different step while i'm calling a function from a dll written by c++ than calling a function from a dll written by cvi?

Hey Sadik,
Selecting the C/C++ DLL Adapter Module should be sufficient for this. When you drag an action step for this onto the Main Step and navigate to the location of the DLL, the function list should populate and you should be able to select the function you want to use. If this is not the case, would you be able to post this DLL so that we can test this on our end?

Calling a Function from another Function within CFC

Hi all,
I have many functions in my CFC that do various things, but
one query is a query that selects absolutely every record from a
table.
The thing is, I need to do a query like this in another
function to obtain only a recordcount of the same table used in
both separate functions. Instead of writing the query out again,
how can I utilise the function already written?
My question is, how can I invoke and use the results of a
query in one cffunction for another cffunction in the same CFC
component?
An example may look like the code attached...
Many thanks for your patience and help!
Mikey.

Generally, to call a function from within a cfc, you do
exactly what you do outside a cfc.
For your specific case, if your requirements permit it, you
might consider caching the big query for a couple of seconds. Then
you can continously call the function and not have to wait for it
to run and bring back the data each time.
Do you mean to say that within a CFC function I can execute
the same cfinvoke tags I use in normal CFM pages?
