Problem calling function inside a procedure

I have a procedure that simply calls a function, but I'm not sure how to declare it.
When I run my script oracle returns an error:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE pr_entrada_close(
     var_id_entrada int)
AS
BEGIN
     fn_criaJobAnalise(var_id_entrada);
END;
ERROR at line 5: PL/SQL: Statement ignored3. AS
4. BEGIN
5.      fn_criaJobAnalise(var_id_entrada);
6. END;

As far as I know, that structure worked in at least 8.0 and possibly earlier. I actually saw something similar in production code on that version of Oracle. The actual function took several parameters, and using those paramters did a series of statements along the lines of:
BEGIN
   SELECT 1 INTO l_var
   FROM table1
   WHERE <predicates>
EXCEPTION
   WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
      RAISE APPLICATION_ERROR (-20001, 'Error');
   WHEN TOO_MANY_ROWS THEN
      RAISE APPLICATION_ERROR (-20002, 'Error');
END;
BEGIN
   SELECT 1 INTO l_var
   FROM table2
   WHERE <predicates>
EXCEPTION
   WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
      RAISE APPLICATION_ERROR (-20003, 'Error');
   WHEN TOO_MANY_ROWS THEN
      RAISE APPLICATION_ERROR (-20004, 'Error');
END;
-- About 4 or 5 more tables checked
RETURN 1;and the caller looked kind of like:
DECLARE
   NO_ROWS_TABLE1 EXCEPTION;
   DUP_ROWS_TABLE1 EXCEPTION;
   NO_ROWS_TABLE2 EXCEPTION;
   DUP_ROWS_TABLE2 EXCEPTION;
   PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT (NO_ROWS_TABLE1, -20001);
   PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT (DUP_ROWS_TABLE1, -20002);
   PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT (NO_ROWS_TABLE2, -20003);
   PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT (DUP_ROWS_TABLE2, -20004);
   l_v NUMBER;
BEGIN
   BEGIN
      l_v := test_tables(<parameters>);
   EXCEPTION
      WHEN NO_ROWS_TABLE1 THEN
         <do something about it>
      WHEN DUP_ROWS_TABLE1 THEN
         <do something about it>
      WHEN NO_ROWS_TABLE2 THEN
         <do something about it>
      WHEN DUP_ROWS_TABLE2 THEN
         <do something about it>
   END;
   <Continue normal processing>
END;and, yes, <Continue normal processing> occasionally failed for mysterious reasons when more than one of the checks would have failed had the function got to them, and l_v was never ever used.
This was one of the clevererbits of code in that app.

close cursor;

/ Since i'm using an array, can you please tell me how I can pass 'val_arr.value_use' as a string in the function? I researched a lot to find this, but I couldnt find how I can do this.

I've used an update query to update test.bin_no in a sequence for the same selectcode and value_use. But I'm trying to see if I can do this within the insert query so I dont have to duplicate the work with one insert and one update.

Call a PL/SQL procedure or function from applet

Could anyone please let me know how I could call a PL/SQL procedure
or function from a JDBC method from applet with Internet Explorer?

It depends from where you are calling your PLSQL routine. If it is SQL*Plus then you can use & (ampersand) with the variable to be input at run time.
If you are executing the PLSQL routine from another application (some front end application) then it's not possible. Because when a procedure is executing at server side, the front end application does not have control, and the control is only transfered back to front end application when the PLSQL routine either completes successfully or throws an exception.
In either case, you can not go back to the PLSQL routine.
In this case, what you can do is, write code in your front end application to get that variable value from user and then pass that value to PLSQL routine.

Calling function in procedure...A tricky one

hi guys,
Here is a tricky thing ...
There is actually a Whole book which has Risk and XYZ portfolio books and other books as well.
The below procedure actually select the risk books based on FLAG =N else it will select all the books.
Now i need to modify this....
Here is a thing .....instead of selecting all the books it should select XYZ portfolio list.
Actually there is function in a package called PKG.TEST_func, This function lists all the books
Now all i need to do is call this function in the procedure in the else part and pass the parameter for XYZ portfolio books.
HOW DO I DO THIS????
create or replace procedure TEST
flg in varchar2 ,
     cur_out out sys_refcursor
as
begin
if upper(flg) = 'N' then
     open cur_out for
          select distinct Book
          from bookmgr.VW_book@bookmgr_dbln
          where RISK_REP_FLG = 'N'
ORDER BY book;
Else
open cur_out for
select distinct Book
from bookmgr.VW_book@bookmgr_dbln;
end if;
end test;
Please let me know if u have any questions....
Thank you so much in Advance....I m kinda of newbe to this world. I appriciate you help..
thanks
-sunny

It will be something like ...
Else
    cur_out :=PKG.TEST_func('XYZ portfolio list') ;
end if;Of course,m it is your system, so only you know the actually value of the parameter.
Cheers, APC

How can i call my function from a procedure?

My function is:
create or replace FUNCTION test(pAttributeName IN NUMBER)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
ret VARCHAR2(100) := NULL;
VAR n1 NUMBER
BEGIN
SELECT Klartext INTO ret FROM piclist WHERE ATTRIBUTNAME = 'voltage_level' and PICLIST_ID =pAttributeName;
RETURN ret;
Insert into BM_ATTRIB(ID_ERFASSUNG,ID_ATTRIBNAME,ATTRIB_CHA,BM_ATTRIB_ID) VALUES(1,1,ret,1);
exception
when no_data_found then
ret := 'AAA' ------- you can return any default value,if you like
--return ret;
return NULL;
when others then
dbms_output.put_line('Exception:'||sqlerrm);
End;
I want to call it from a procedure!
Please help!
Nicole

if the function is in the same package as the procedure then merely specify the function name and parameters:
retcode := functionname(param1..paramn);
If in another package then:
retcode := packagename.functionname(param1..paramn);
If the function is in another schema then you need to grant execute rights to the package/function to the schema trying to run the function:
grant execute on packagename/functionname to otherschema;
you need to be the package/function schema owner to do the above grant.

step by step good ex link is....
http://smoschid.tripod.com/How_to_do_things_in_SAP/How_To_Build_SMARTFORMS/How_To_Build_SMARTFORMS.html
Here is the procedure
1. Create a new smartforms
Transaction code SMARTFORMS
Create new smartforms call ZSMART
2. Define looping process for internal table
Pages and windows
First Page -> Header Window (Cursor at First Page then click Edit -> Node -> Create)
Here, you can specify your title and page numbering
&SFSY-PAGE& (Page 1) of &SFSY-FORMPAGES(Z4.0)& (Total Page)
Main windows -> TABLE -> DATA
In the Loop section, tick Internal table and fill in
ITAB1 (table in ABAP SMARTFORM calling function) INTO ITAB2
3. Define table in smartforms
Global settings :
Form interface
Variable name Type assignment Reference type
ITAB1 TYPE Table Structure
Global definitions
Variable name Type assignment Reference type
ITAB2 TYPE Table Structure
4. To display the data in the form
Make used of the Table Painter and declare the Line Type in Tabstrips Table
e.g. HD_GEN for printing header details,
IT_GEN for printing data details.
You have to specify the Line Type in your Text elements in the Tabstrips Output options.
Tick the New Line and specify the Line Type for outputting the data.
Declare your output fields in Text elements
Tabstrips - Output Options
For different fonts use this Style : IDWTCERTSTYLE
For Quantity or Amout you can used this variable &GS_ITAB-AMOUNT(12.2)&
5. Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program

you can check this link here you can see the steps and you can do it the same by looking at it..
http://smoschid.tripod.com/How_to_do_things_in_SAP/How_To_Build_SMARTFORMS/How_To_Build_SMARTFORMS.html
SMARTFORMS STEPS.
1. In Tcode se11 Create a structure(struct) same like the Internal table that you are going to use in your report.
2. Create Table type(t_struct) of stracture in se11.
3. In your program declare Internal table(Itab) type table of structure(struct).
4. Define work area(wa) like line of internal table.
5. Open Tcode Smartforms
6. In form Global setting , forminterface Import parameter define Internal table(Itab) like table type of stracture(t_struct).
7. In form Global setting , Global definitions , in Global data define Work area(wa) like type stracture(struct).
8. In form pages and window, create Page node by default Page1 is available.
9. In page node you can create numbers of secondary window. But in form there is only one Main window.
10. By right click on page you can create windows or Go to Edit, Node, Create.
11. After creating the window right click on window create table for displaying the data that you are passing through internal table.
12. In the table Data parameter, loop internal internal table (Itab) into work area(wa).
13. In table there are three areas Header, Main Area, Footer.
14. Right click on the Main area create table line by default line type1 is there select it.
15. Divide line into cells according to your need then for each cell create Text node.
16. In text node general attribute. Write down fields of your work area(wa) or write any thing you want to display.
17. Save form and activate it.
18. Then go to Environment, function module name, there you get the name of function module copy it.
19. In your program call the function module that you have copied from your form.
20. In your program in exporting parameter of function pass the internal table(itab).
SAP Smart Forms is introduced in SAP Basis Release 4.6C as the tool for creating and maintaining forms.
SAP Smart Forms allow you to execute simple modifications to the form and in the form logic by using simple graphical tools; in 90% of all cases, this won't include any programming effort. Thus, a power user without any programming knowledge can
configure forms with data from an SAP System for the relevant business processes.
To print a form, you need a program for data retrieval and a Smart Form that contains the entire from logic. As data retrieval and form logic are separated, you must only adapt the Smart Form if changes to the form logic are necessary. The application program passes the data via a function module interface to the Smart Form. When activating the Smart Form, the system automatically generates a function module. At runtime, the system processes this function module.
You can insert static and dynamic tables. This includes line feeds in individual table cells, triggering events for table headings and subtotals, and sorting data before output.
You can check individual nodes as well as the entire form and find any existing errors in the tree structure. The data flow analysis checks whether all fields (variables) have a defined value at the moment they are displayed.
SAP Smart Forms allow you to include graphics, which you can display either as part of the form or as background graphics. You use background graphics to copy the layout of an existing (scanned) form or to lend forms a company-specific look. During printout, you can suppress the background graphic, if desired.
SAP Smart Forms also support postage optimizing.

What Transaction to start SAP Smart Forms?
Execute transaction SMARTFORMS to start SAP Smart Forms.
Key Benefits of SAP Smart Forms:
SAP Smart Forms allows you to reduce considerably the implementation costs of mySAP.com solutions since forms can be adjusted in minimum time.
You design a form using the graphical Form Painter and the graphical Table Painter. The form logic is represented by a hierarchy structure (tree structure) that consists of individual nodes, such as nodes for global settings, nodes for texts, nodes for output tables, or nodes for graphics.
To make changes, use Drag & Drop, Copy & Paste, and select different attributes.
These actions do not include writing of coding lines or using a Script language.
Using your form description maintained in the Form Builder, Smart Forms generates a function module that encapsulates layout, content and form logic. So you do not need a group of function modules to print a form, but only one.
For Web publishing, the system provides a generated XML output of the processed form.
Smart Forms provides a data stream called XML for Smart Forms (XSF) to allow the use of 3rd party printing tools. XSF passes form content from R/3 to an external product without passing any layout information about the Smart Form.
SmartForms System Fields
Within a form you can use the field string SFSY with its system fields. During form processing the system replaces these fields with the corresponding values. The field values come from the SAP System or are results of the processing.
System fields of Smart Forms
&SFSY-DATE&
Displays the date. You determine the display format in the user master record.
&SFSY-TIME&
Displays the time of day in the form HH:MM:SS.
&SFSY-PAGE&
Inserts the number of the current print page into the text. You determine the format of the page number (for example, Arabic, numeric) in the page node.
&SFSY-FORMPAGES&
Displays the total number of pages for the currently processed form. This allows you to include texts such as'Page x of y' into your output.
&SFSY-JOBPAGES&
Contains the total page number of all forms in the currently processed print request.
&SFSY-WINDOWNAME&
Contains the name of the current window (string in the Window field)
&SFSY-PAGENAME&
Contains the name of the current page (string in the Page field)
&SFSY-PAGEBREAK&
Is set to 'X' after a page break (either automatic [Page 7] or command-controlled [Page 46])
&SFSY-MAINEND&
Is set as soon as processing of the main window on the current page ends
&SFSY-EXCEPTION&
Contains the name of the raised exception. You must trigger your own exceptions, which you defined in the form interface, using the user_exception macro (syntax: user_exception <exception name >).
Example Forms Available in Standard SAP R/3
SF_EXAMPLE_01
Simple example; invoice with table output of flight booking for one customer
SF_EXAMPLE_02
Similar to SF_EXAMPLE_01 but with subtotals
SF_EXAMPLE_03
Similar to SF_EXAMPLE_02, whereby several customers are selected in the application program; the form is called for each customer and all form outputs are included in an output request
Advantages of SAP Smart Forms
SAP Smart Forms have the following advantages:
1. The adaption of forms is supported to a large extent by graphic tools for layout and logic, so that no programming knowledge is necessary (at least 90% of all adjustments). Therefore, power user forms can also make configurations for your business processes with data from an SAP system. Consultants are only required in special cases.
2. Displaying table structures (dynamic framing of texts)
3. Output of background graphics, for form design in particular the use of templates which were scanned.
4. Colored output of texts
5. User-friendly and integrated Form Painter for the graphical design of forms
6. Graphical Table Painter for drawing tables
7. Reusing Font and paragraph formats in forms (Smart Styles)
8. Data interface in XML format (XML for Smart Forms, in short XSF)
9. Form translation is supported by standard translation tools
10. Flexible reuse of text modules
11. HTML output of forms (Basis release 6.10)
12. Interactive Web forms with input fields, pushbuttons, radio buttons, etc. (Basis-Release 6.10)

Call to Oracle stored procedure that returns ref cursor doesn't work

I'm trying to use an OData service operation with Entity Framework to call an Oracle stored procedure that takes an number as an input parameter and returns a ref cursor. The client is javascript so I'm using the rest console to test my endpoints. I have been able to successful call a regular Oracle stored procedure that takes a number parameter but doesn't return anything so I think I have the different component interactions correct. When I try calling the proc that has an ref cursor for the output I get the following an error "Invalid number or type of parameters". Here are my specifics:
App.config
<oracle.dataaccess.client>
<settings>
<add name="PGDATA_WC.ODATAPOC.GETWORKORDERSBYWINDFARMID.RefCursor.P_RESULTS" value="implicitRefCursor bindinfo='mode=Output'" />
<add name="PGDATA_WC.ODATAPOC.GETWORKORDERSBYWINDFARMID.RefCursorMetaData.P_RESULTS.Column.0" value="implicitRefCursor metadata='ColumnName=WINDFARM_ID;BaseColumnName=WINDFARM_ID;BaseSchemaName=PGDATA_WC;BaseTableName=WORKORDERS;NATIVEDATATYPE=Number;ProviderType=Int32'" />

</settings>
OData Service Operation:
public class OracleODataService : DataService<OracleEntities>
// This method is called only once to initialize service-wide policies.
public static void InitializeService(DataServiceConfiguration config)
// TODO: set rules to indicate which entity sets and service operations are visible, updatable, etc.
// Examples:
config.SetEntitySetAccessRule("*", EntitySetRights.All);
config.SetServiceOperationAccessRule("GetWorkOrdersByWindfarmId", ServiceOperationRights.All);
config.SetServiceOperationAccessRule("CreateWorkOrder", ServiceOperationRights.All);
config.DataServiceBehavior.MaxProtocolVersion = DataServiceProtocolVersion.V2;
[WebGet]
public IQueryable<GetWorkOrdersByWindfarmId_Result> GetWorkOrdersByWindfarmId(int WindfarmId)
return this.CurrentDataSource.GetWorkOrdersByWindfarmId(WindfarmId).AsQueryable();
[WebGet]
public void CreateWorkOrder(int WindfarmId)
this.CurrentDataSource.CreateWorkOrder(WindfarmId);
Here is the stored procedure:
procedure GetWorkOrdersByWindFarmId(WINDFARMID IN NUMBER,
P_RESULTS OUT REF_CUR) is
begin
OPEN P_RESULTS FOR
select WINDFARM_ID,
STARTTIME,
ENDTIME,
TURBINE_NUMBER,
NOTES,
TECHNICIAN_NAME
from WORKORDERS
where WINDFARM_ID = WINDFARMID;
end GetWorkOrdersByWindFarmId;
I defined a function import for the stored procedure using the directions I found online by creating a new complex type. I don't know if I should be defining the input parameter, WindfarmId, in my app.config? If I should what would that format look like? I also don't know if I'm invoking the stored procedure correctly in my service operation? I'm testing everything through the rest console because the client consuming this information is written in javascript and expecting a json format. Any help is appreciated!

Making the change you suggested still resulted in the same Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException {"ORA-06550: line 1, column 8:\nPLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'GETWORKORDERSBYWINDFARMID'\nORA-06550: line 1, column 8:\nPL/SQL: Statement ignored"} System.Exception {Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException}
I keep thinking it has to do with my oracle.dataaccess.client settings in App.Config because I don't actually put the WindfarmId and an input parameter. I tried a few different ways to do this but can't find the correct format.

CALL FUNCTIONS

HI ALL
WHERE CAN I FIND ALL THE FUNCTION MODULES USED IN ABAP AND I ALSO NEED EXPLANATIONS ....CAN ANYONE HELP
WITH REGARDS
VIJAY

Hi,
You can use the table TFDIR to see all the fun modules in ABAP.
see the doc and links for further details
Function Modules;
Check this matter.
Function Modules are Glopbal ABAP programs created by SAP for reusable purpose.they have IMPORT,EXPORT and TABLE parameters, and EXCEPTIONS to through when error occurs.
You can create them from TCode SE37.
Go through the following doc:
Function modules are cross-program, reusable procedures that are organized into function groups, and whose functions are implemented between the statements FUNCTION and ENDFUNCTION. Function modules and their interfaces are created in the Function Builder.
Function Module Interfaces
The parameter interface of a function module is defined in the Function Builder. It includes the definition of interface parameters and the specification of exceptions that can be triggered by a function module. The Function Builder automatically generates comment lines below the FUNCTION statement in the source code of the function module, which represent the interface of the function module with the following syntax:
Syntax
... [IMPORTING parameters]
[EXPORTING parameters]
[CHANGING parameters]
[TABLES table_parameters]
[{RAISING|EXCEPTIONS} exc1 exc2 ...]
The syntax and semantics of IMPORTING, EXPORTING, CHANGING, RAISING, and EXCEPTIONS mainly correspond to the definition of method interfaces with [CLASS-]METHODS. The additional option of defining table parameters using TABLES is obsolete.
Interface parameters
The interface parameters are defined on the relevant tab pages in the Function Builder.
IMPORTING parameters are input parameters. When the function module is called, a suitable actual parameter must be specified for every non-optional input parameter. The content of the actual parameter is passed to the input parameter when the call is made. The content of an input parameter for which 'pass by reference' is defined cannot be changed in the function module.
EXPORTING parameters are output parameters. When the function module is called, a suitable actual parameter can be specified for every output parameter. The content of an output parameter that is defined for 'pass by value' is transferred to the actual parameter if the function module is completed without errors. An output parameter that is defined for pass by reference is not initialized when the function module is called.
CHANGING parameters are input and output parameters. When the function module is called, a suitable actual parameter must be specified for every non-optional input or output parameter. When the function module is called, the content of the actual parameter is passed to the input/output parameter, and when the function module is completed, the content of the input/output parameter is passed to the actual parameter.
TABLES parameters are table parameters. Table parameters are obsolete CHANGING parameters that are typed as standard tables with a header line. If an internal table without a header line or a table body is passed as an actual parameter to a formal parameter of this type, an empty local header line is generated in the function module. If an internal table with a header line is used as an actual parameter, both the table body and the header line are passed to the function module. Pass by value is not possible in formal parameters defined using TABLES. Formal parameters defined with TABLES can be replaced by formal parameters defined with CHANGING. A local work area can be created for the internal table in the function module by using the addition LIKE LINE OF itab of the DATA statement.
Exceptions
The exception of a function module are defined on the Exceptions tab page in the Function Builder. Here you can select exception classes to define whether class-based exceptions are declared or non-class-based exception are defined. Class-based exceptions are represented in the above syntax by RAISING, and non-class-based exceptions are represented by EXCEPTIONS.
The addition RAISING is used to declare class-based exceptions that can be propagated from the function module to the caller. Exceptions in the categories CX_STATIC_CHECK and CX_DYNAMIC_CHECK must be explicitly declared, otherwise a propagation can lead to an interface violation. A violation of the interface leads to the treatable exception CX_SY_NO_HANDLER. Exceptions of the category CX_NO_CHECK are implicitly always declared. The declaration of exceptions of the category CX_STATIC_CHECK is statically checked in the syntax check. For exceptions of the category CX_DYNAMIC_CHECK, the check is not performed until runtime. In a function module in which class-based exceptions are declared with the RAISING addition, the statement CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS cannot be used. Instead, the relevant treatable exceptions should be handled in a TRY control structure.
The addition EXCEPTIONS is used to define a list of non-class-based exceptions that can be triggered in the function module using the statements RAISE or MESSAGE RAISING. Exceptions defined in this way - as with formal parameters - are bound to the function module and cannot be propagated. If an exception of this type is triggered in a function module, and no return value has been assigned to it with the homonymous addition EXCEPTIONS of the CALL FUNCTION statement when the call was made, this leads to a runtime error.
Note
For new developments after release 6.10, SAP recommends that you work with class-based exceptions that are independent of the function module.
RFC is a technology which is used to access a functions (Modules) from
the remote systems.
If a function module is set as remote enabled which can be access from
the remote system via RFC.Eg: U can access the Remote enabled function modules in ur VB,Webdynpro,Java,Visual composer program.
A function module can be set as remote enabled by SE37->Go to ur FM->click the option Button "remote enabled".
But Normal function modules can not accessd from the remote system.
Good Example for RFC enabled function module is : BAPI(Business Application Programming Interface)
Note: All BAPIs are Remote enabled but not all remote enabled function modules are BAPI.
CALLING A FUNCTION MODULE:
1)In U ABAP Editor --> Click "Patter" ---> Selection Option Button "Call Function"
--> Write the Corresponding FM name --> Hit Enter
2)The appropriate import ,export Parameters will be displayed in ur editor
3)Pass the Values Here.
