Calling a function in the select part of a query

I am integrating Apex with E-Bus Suite 11.5.10.2.
I have a function in a sql query. The function calls an apps view. When i run the sql query in TOAD, I get the correct data. When I run it in Apex, i get an error - it says "Invalid number"
My apex report is registered in my 11i menu. Who is the user that is running this report? Is it apps?
thanks

When you run it in TOAD, you are passing through a value, correct? Maybe when your EBS call to your APEX report is done, it is passing through a character value as apposed to a number. You might want to convert your passed in value in your function to a number to be sure..
Also, it is not always the best idea to call a function in a select statement.. Is there a reason you can't do in sql what your function is doing?
Thank you,

Can call a function in the select statement?

Is there any ways to call a function in the select statement?
what I like to do is this:
select deptno, totalEmployees(deptno), TotalSalary(deptno)
from emp;
I know it can be done by count(*) and join tables, but my case
is much more complex and the where clauses are different from
one function to another, and have many tables to join and many
combinations
Thanks

Functions can be used in a select statement subject to certain
restrictions, see
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/doc_library/817_doc/
server.817/a85397/statem9b.htm#2062024
It's under "CREATE FUNCTION> Keywords and Parameters> function>
Restrictions on User-Defined Functions"
Here is an except...
When a function is called from within a query or DML statement,
the function cannot:
a) Have OUT or IN OUT parameters
b) Commit or roll back the current transaction, create or roll
back to a savepoint, or alter the session or the system. DDL
statements implicitly commit the current transaction, so a user-
defined function cannot execute any DDL statements.
c) Write to the database, if the function is being called from a
SELECT statement. However, a function called from a subquery in
a DML statement can write to the database.
d) Write to the same table that is being modified by the
statement from which the function is called, if the function is
called from a DML statement.
Except for the restriction on OUT and IN OUT parameters, Oracle
enforces these restrictions not only for the function called
directly from the SQL statement, but also for any functions that
function calls, and on any functions called from the SQL
statements executed by that function or any function it calls.

Calling a function in the select clause.

I am using Oracle 11g.
I am trying to write a query like this
select name,age, sal, avg = avg_salary(age)
from customer
where sal >= avg;
However, I am not able to do so. What the query is trying to do is print the name, age and salary of every customer as well as the average salary for the customer's age where the customer's salary is greater than the average salary for his age.
Please help. Thanks.

Hi,
The way to assign a column alias is to put the alais after the expression. It makes your code clearer if you put the keyword AS after the expression and before the alias, but this is not required.
SELECT     name
,     age
,     sal
,     avg_salary (age)     AS avg_salary_age
FROM     customer
WHERE     sal     >= avg_salary (age)
;You can't reference a column alais in the same query where it is defined (except in an ORDER BY clause). If you want to reference the alias anywhere else (e.g., in the WHERE clause) you have to define it in a sub-query; then you can use it anywhere you want in the super-query, liek this:
WITH     got_avg_salary_age     AS
     SELECT     name
     ,     age
     ,     sal
     ,     avg_salary (age)     AS avg_salary_age
     FROM     customer
SELECT     *
FROM     got_avg_salary_age
WHERE     sal     >= avg_salary_age
;Since AVG is the name of a built-in function, there could be problems using it as a column alias. You could call it average, if you don't like avg_salary_age.

ODI Error - Calling a function in the source database

I am using this directly in the Interface mapping and getting the following error
This is the syntax I am using SUM(CASE WHEN ((main.getCertDate(person_id,getdate()) >= current_timestamp) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)

Function in the select

Hi
can someone please show me how to call a function from a select* statement.
Thanks
Helena

select age
from show_details
where age=func_test();
Here the function returns some value that function definition is like
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION func_test RETURN NUMBER
AS
lv_a NUMBER;
BEGIN
lv_a := 0;
lv_a := lv_a + 1;
RETURN lv_a;
dbms_output.put_line(lv_a);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Error is '||SQLERRM);
END;
This is to manually call a function
DECLARE
v_a NUMBER;
BEGIN
v_a := func_test();
dbms_output.PUT_LINE(v_a);
END;
************The o/p is '1'.
If the show_details table contains the age value as 1 then the field will be selected by calling the function.

Calling a Function in the Parent Window from the Child Window

QUESTION: How do I call a function resident in the parent
window from a child window?
BACKGROUND
I have a JavaScript function resident in the parent window
that reformats information obtained from the Date object and writes
the result to the parent window using the document.write( ) method.
I would like to call this function from the child window and have
it write to the child window instead. Is this possible? If not,
must I rewrite the entire function and nest it in the below code?
If so, what is the proper form of nesting?
CODE: The code that creates and fills the child window is
provided below. The highlighted area indicates where I would like
to enter the information from the function resident in the parent
window. I have tried every imaginable permutation of code that I
can imagine and nearly destroyed my parent document in the process.
I am very happy that I had a back-up copy!
function openCitationWindow() {
ciDow = window.open("", "", "width=450, height=175, top=300,
left=300");
ciDow.document.write("A proper way to cite a passage of text
on this page:<br /><br />Stegemann, R. A. 2000.
<cite>Imagine: Bridging a Historical Gap</cite>. " +
document.title + ". [<a href='" + location.href + "'
target='_blank'>online book</a>] <" + location.href
+ "> (");
MISSING CODE;
ciDow.document.write(").<br /><br /><input
type='button' value='Close Window' onclick='window.close()'>");
ciDow.focus();

Never mind - I was doing something very stupid and wasn't
calling the function as a method of a movie clip. I was simply
calling checkTarget(event) rather than
event.currentTarget.checkTarget(event); which seems to work.

Calling a function in the main movie from a loaded swf

I realize this is probably a very basic question, but I have
loaded a SWF file into another movie. I now want to call a function
in the main SWF. Is there a way to do that? Alternatively, I have a
custom class where I could put the function, but I haven't been
able to figure out how to call it from the loaded SWF either. Do I
somehow need to associate the class with the main movie,
or...?

Calling a function in the HTML window the course sits inside - Captivate 8

Hi,
I've scoured the forums for an answer to this but as yet have come up blank.
Our LMS launches a course in a popup window and inside of this the .htm Captivate output file sits.
Currently this pop up window has a button in it which executes a function. The problem is this button is rather unsightly sitting above the course in the HTML window and I'd like to be able to call this function from inside the Captivate course itself.
The function is called closeSCOContent() and it closes the course window but crucially forwards the user to a feedback page.
So essentially is it possible to call this function using the Javascript function in Captivate 8?
I hope I've explained that sufficiently
Many thanks!

How do i call a function within the jsp?

Hi,
What i am doing is now allow a user to type in comment and when the user click on "Add" button, it will call my function and write to a txt file.How can i call a custom jsp function within my jsp page or what is the correct way to do this?
[My current codes]
<form name="SubmitEvent" method="post" action="addComment()">
</form>
function addComment()
System.out.println("Entered Add Comment function");
Thanks for your help!

You can define a Java Bean (I presume you know the rules to write a Java Bean) and send the read value as parameter to the Bean and then call a function in the Bean from the JSP.

Call a function in the shell SWF from a imported SWF

We have flash set up as a shell to take lesson data from XML
and display it frame by frame.
We import SWF files when the XML tells it to to be displayed
on the frame.
How can I get the imported SWF file to call a function in the
shell....
basically have a button or movie clip in the imported swf
call the "gotoNextFrame()" function in the shell.

We found a "bit" easier way if anyone is interested.. we have
the have an eventlistner added to the loader to assign a event to
the swf file thats imported:
flashLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
addEventHandlers);
then when its completed, it adds event listeners and calls
our "goNextFrame" function (then clears it when its removed from
the stage):
function addEventHandlers(event:Event):void
var swfMC:MovieClip = event.target.content as MovieClip;
swfMC.addEventListener("NextFrame", goNextFrame);
swfMC.addEventListener("PreviousFrame", goPrevFrame);
swfMC.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE,
clearEventListeners);
Then in the swf file thats to be imported, its real simple:
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, MoveToNextFrame);
prev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
MoveToPreviousFrame);
function MoveToNextFrame(e:MouseEvent):void
dispatchEvent(new Event("NextFrame"));
function MoveToPreviousFrame(e:MouseEvent):void
dispatchEvent(new Event("PreviousFrame"));

Access to the logic functions on the numeric part of a Logickeyboard

I have connected a logic keyboard (the one with the coloured shortcuts) to my Mac Book Pro. However, the numeric part (with stop, play, record, etc) is not working. Logic does not respond on the input through that numeric part. The main part of the keyboard works well, including the shortcuts to for example the bin, the mixer
Does anyone has experience with this problem?
I mean, there isn't a numlock key on the keyboard. So how do you get access to the functions on the numeric part?

Q1: yes i have tested it in word and then numbers appears
Q2: the key commands are the simple ones
Like the enter is play, the 0 is stop, the 2 is mixer
What i'm looking for is the key (like shift or fn) that changes the functions of the numpad

I need use conditions in the select fields of a query.

Hello,
Is possible, that I can have conditions in the select fields of a query? In a invoice when the type is cancellation I want to put *-1 to price and if is other type the price is normally.
If VBRK.FKART = 'S1' THEN KWERT*-1 else KWERT .
Thank you very much.

you can do two things:
1. select the data into internal table and loop through the internal table and do the necessary changes
SELECT fkart kwert
FROM vbrk
INTO TABLE itab
WHERE ...
LOOP AT itab.
IF itab-fkart EQ 'S1'.
itab-kwert = itab-kwert * -1 .
MODIFY itab.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
2. use select-endselect and change the data acc. to your needs inbetween and append the internal table.
SELECT fkart kwert
FROM vbrk
INTO wa
WHERE ...
IF wa-fkart EQ 'S1'.
wa-kwert = wa-kwert * -1 .
ENDIF.
APPEND wa TO itab.
ENDSELECT.
(The first approach is probably faster.)

Order of the selection fields in SAP QUERY

Hello All,
How can we set the order of the selection fields in SAP QUERY!

Hi,
You can go into infoset and change the order.
Or you can select 1 by 1 in the same order, you want to display.

Call a function when the active document is closed

Hi friends
I have a portion of my script (at true a specific function) that I´d need to be executed every time the user close the app.activeDocument in Photoshop.
I know there´s a Photoshop script called "Script Event Manager" where we can associate actions and scripts with events (like closing the document). I´d not like to use this script because..as I told...it´s not my entire script to be runned when closing a file..but only a function.
Tried to search in the Script Event Manager for any event called "onClose" () but sure there´s nothing.
How could I insert an event in the body of my own script that calls a function every time user close the active document?
Thank you a lot for the help
Best Regards
Gustavo.

As I said before the close event is really not that useful. In addition to the document already being closed the event descriptor will only have the path to the closed file if it was saved as part of the close event.
But if you want to play around with this to see if it will be helpful to you here is one way. You will need to add the notifer. This only needs to be done once unless it is removed.
app.notifiersEnabled = true;
app.notifiers.add( "Cls ",new File('~/desktop/closeEventHandler.jsx') );
Then for the event handler script, something like this.
try {
    if (arguments.length >= 2) {
    var filePath;
    var desc = arguments[0];
    if( desc.hasKey( stringIDToTypeID('in') ) ) filePath = desc.getPath(stringIDToTypeID('in'));
    if( filePath != undefined ) alert( decodeURI( filePath ) );
} catch (e) {}
