Can a function return two values???

Hi guys can a function return more than values?

Or even better return an Object.
ie
public class Tester{
     public static Multi getM()
          Multi m=new Multi();
          m.x="testing";
          m.y="new value";
     public static void main(String [] args)
          Multi mt=getM();
          System.out.println(mt.x);
          System.out.println(mt.y);
     class Multi{
          public String x;
          public String y;
}

I Need to Return Two values or more from Function, Is this possible?

Below is the offending query, I am trying to pass v_bu and v_po to this function, and after validations then return v_count and v_action is this possible in a function? I am having problem returning two values.
see below code
function po_edi_func(v_bu purchase_order.business_unit_id%type,
     v_po purchase_order.purchase_order_number%type)
     return number as pragma autonomous_transaction;
     v_count               number;
     v_ctdel               number;
     v_action          varchar2(1);
begin
select count(*)
into v_count
from sewn.purchase_order
where business_unit_id=v_bu
and purchase_order_number =v_po;
if v_count > 0 then
     select count(*)
     into v_ctdel
     from sewn.purchase_order
     where business_unit_id=v_bu
and purchase_order_number =v_po
     and purc_orde_status = 1;
     if v_count <> v_ctdel then -- ALl PO's Cancelled--
     v_action := 'U'; -- - NOT ALL PO DELETED --
     else
     v_action := 'D'; -- DELETED ALL PO--
     end if;
else
     v_action := 'I';-- New PO INSERT--
end if;
commit;
return v_count;
end;

Paul,
This is becoming a nightmare to me, can you look at the below and tell me where I am having a problem
This is the Function below
CREATE OR REPLACE function po_edi_func(v_bu sewn.purchase_order.business_unit_id%type,
     v_po sewn.purchase_order.purchase_order_number%type,v_action_out OUT VARCHAR2)
     return number as pragma autonomous_transaction;
     v_count               number;
     v_ctdel               number;
     v_action          varchar2(1);
begin
select count(*)
into v_count
from sewn.purchase_order
where business_unit_id=v_bu
and purchase_order_number =v_po;
if v_count > 0 then
     select count(*)
     into v_ctdel
     from sewn.purchase_order
     where business_unit_id=v_bu
and purchase_order_number =v_po
     and purc_orde_status = 1;
     if v_count <> v_ctdel then -- ALl PO's Cancelled--
     v_action := 'U'; -- - NOT ALL PO DELETED --
     else
     v_action := 'D'; -- DELETED ALL PO--
     end if;
else
     v_action := 'I';-- New PO INSERT--
end if;
commit;
v_action_out := (lpad(v_count,8,'0')||lpad(v_action,1,' '));
return v_action_out;
end;
and this is how I am calling it from my trigger which has to pass the v_bu and v_po values to be used in extracting data and returning the records
see below
if po_edi_func(v_bu,v_po) <> '' then;
v_count:= (substr(v_action,1,8));
v_action := substr(v_actione,9,1);
else
v_count:=0;
v_action := 'I';
end if;
I need the extracted values of v_count and v_action for my app to reset some values

Can oracle function return more than one value

Hi All
please answer can oracle function return more than one value
need one schenario
regards

Can any function, irrespective of the language, return multiple values?
OF COURSE NOT!!
So why do you think Oracle will now suddenly do it differently than all other languages? Never mind that it is impossible for a function (a unit/module of code) returning a memory address, to return multiple memory addresses. The machine code that does that, has not been yet been designed/implemented.
I am continually amazed that this question is asked. It is about something so fundamental in almost every single 3rd and 4th generation language... something that is taught right at the start... the definition of what a procedure and what a function is.
Sorry, but I simply cannot pull punches on this subject and smooth it over. There is something fundamentally wrong with your training as a programmer if you have to ask such a question about a function.
And whatever programming skills you build on such a foundation, will be seriously lacking.
I kindly suggest that you get back to the very basics of programming - and review and revisit until you fully understand it. There are no shortcuts in becomming a good programmer.

Return two values from autosuggest

hi i have inputtext with autosuggest,i what to return two values when i select the values for example if i select cityname i must return cityname and citypostacode for that city.this is how i did my inputtext autosuggest

Now I need 1 more column say, flag something like:
open o_ref_cursor for select function_name( 2345) Emp_no , function_name_2 ( 2345) flag from table1 where x = y;But I don't want to define a new function function_name_2 to get flag value. Because emp_no and flag are both queried from the same table.
So, Can you tell me how can I make 'function_name' to return two values using appropriate data-type ( or user defined data type?)?Your example could be solved like this (since it is in pl/sql):
v_emp_no := function_name( 2345);
v_flag := function_name_2 ( 2345);
open o_ref_cursor for select v_emp_no Emp_no , v_flag flag from table1 where x = y;But I guess the example was still too simplicistic.

PL/SQL: Function returned without value in authentication schemes

Hi all,
finally i did the authentication shemes based on my function and my own table ,thank you all for help :-) ,but now when i enter
1-correct user name &wrong password <it is gonna work,the authentication workin fine >
i am gonna get <Invalid Login Credentials> which is right in case of wrong login
2-wrong user name &wrong password <it is not gonna work>
3-wrong user name &correct password <it not gonna work>
in case of not working i am getting the following error:

any help to solve this issue so that it will display <Invalid Login Credentials>
in all cases of invalid login
thanks in advance ,
Ahmed,

scott,you efforts was useful and i beleive that the error that i am getting it is from the function that i have can you please take a look on :
FUNCTION CHECK_USER

else

end if;
end loop;
EXCEPTION
WHEN no_data_found THEN
return false;
when others then
return false;

ORA-06503: Function returned without value at WWV_FLOW_WEBSERVICES_API

Hi, I use APEX_WEB_SERVICE.MAKE_REQUEST function to call web service however stuck with ORA-06503 exception. It would be nice to hear comment from someone who knows APEX_WEB_SERVICE from inside.
ORA-06503: PL/SQL: Function returned without value

The error occurs about 60% of my test case calls and always with the same parameter values. I thought something bad on web service side however I've tested it with the same parameter values on SoapUI tool and it works just fine. The parameter itself is fixed length varchar2 variable (e.g. 636BB6EFF19941420F00010000007B00000000000000).

Never mind sorry! I've just tried granting APEX_040000 permissions for this particular Network ACL and now it works! Can I suggest that apex_web_service.make_request needs some better error handling however.
Here's the fix...
BEGIN

      acl       => 'mywebservice.xml'

How do I return two values from a stored procedure into an "Execute SQL Task" within SQL Server 2008 R2

Hi,
How do I return two values from a
stored procedure into an "Execute SQL Task" please? Each of these two values need to be populated into an SSIS variable for later processing, e.g. StartDate and EndDate.
Thinking about stored procedure output parameters for example. Is there anything special I need to bear in mind to ensure that the SSIS variables are populated with the updated stored procedure output parameter values?
Something like ?
CREATE PROCEDURE [etl].[ConvertPeriodToStartAndEndDate]
@intPeriod INT,
@strPeriod_Length NVARCHAR(1),
@dtStart NVARCHAR(8) OUTPUT,
@dtEnd NVARCHAR(8) OUTPUT
AS
then within the SSIS component; -
Kind Regards,
Kieran.
Kieran Patrick Wood http://www.innovativebusinessintelligence.com http://uk.linkedin.com/in/kieranpatrickwood http://kieranwood.wordpress.com/

Below execute statement should work along the parameter mapping which you have provided. Also try specifying the parameter size property as default.
Exec [etl].[ConvertPeriodToStartAndEndDate] ?,?,? output, ? output
Add a script task to check ssis variables values using,
Msgbox(Dts.Variables("User::strExtractStartDate").Value)
Do not forget to add the property "readOnlyVariables" as strExtractStartDate variable to check for only one variable.
Regards, RSingh

Whee the function return the value store in java

in c if i write this program
int add()
return 1;
main()
add();
if i run this program it give s error that lvalue required
but in java it works fine though the function return some value

in c if i write this program
int add()
return 1;
main()
add();
if i run this program it give s error that lvalue
requiredYou mean, if you try to run it as a C program it gave an error?
Then take your question to a "C" discussion forum. This is Java.
>
but in java it works fine though the function return some value
In Java this does NOT work fine.
It definitely does not compile! So you cannot run it.

How can a function return a constant reference to an object

how can a function return a constant reference to an object so that the calling party dont have rights to change it.
like this example
class obj = somefunc();
obj.changeit(); // this line lust give error saying that its read only..

in c++ we can achieve this by using the const pointer to the object.. how can we do this in java???

If you can read this, you're too close!

Can a function return more than one item or object?

Hi I am trying to move text movies and textfields around a stage. This is a learning curve for me. I am confused by an example I have found on the internet.
http://forums.adobe.com/community/flash/flash_actionscript
What type of object is
var letter:Object = getLetterObject(_text.charAt(i)); // in the draw function
as it has properties
letter.stepDegrees = _totalAngle / numOfLetters;
getLetterObject()
seems to return lotts of stuff which would not be done in other languages like C
return
movie:movie,
field:field,
widthInDegrees:0,
fieldWidth:field.width,
fieldHeight:field.height
I would like to get my head around this as this is a good example of what I need. Well parts of it actualy.
I understand that the text field is added as a child to the Movieclip. I would have expected just a MovieClip object returned.
full code including the function getLetterObject()

Hi
I still think I need an Object parent child linkage diagram on this to get my head around it.
It seems that things are reversed so that it is Object:value. Kind of confusing to see movie:movie.
var letter:Object = getLetterObject(_text.charAt(i));
letter holds the following objects
MovieClip:Movie
TextField:field
widthInDegrees:0 // What is this. What type is a widthInDegrees
fieldWidth:field.width // Same as above
fieldHeight:field.height // Same as above
And to cap it all, back in the calling function draw()
letter.stepDegrees = _totalAngle / numOfLetters; // What is stepDegrees a property of? MovieClip,TextField,widthInDegrees,fieldWidth or fieldHeight
I can understand the first two but not the last three
For example widthInDegrees is not mentioned anywhere in the code. and
letter.stepDegrees // implies that stepDegrees is a property of Object:letter.
Do you throw a property and value blindly at the letter object and let flash work out which object it is a property of?
MovieClip & TextField do not have this property. Searched the web for this information. We need an equivelent of MSDN.

Funct return two values

hi,
can i make a function return more than one value ?
thanks.
n/

Nicholas said he wanted to use this in Forms 6i. Well, 9i Forms does not support stored procedures that return object values, so I doubt very much that6i does.
I suggest using a procedure with two OUT parameters:
PROCEDURE get_default_qty (
p_supp_id IN edtrad.orcrsupp.supp_id%TYPE
, p_item_no IN edtrad.orcrstit.stit_item_id%TYPE
, p_ord_id IN edtrad.orcrodet.odet_order_id%TYPE
, p_qty OUT NUMBER
, p_val2 OUT VARCHAR2)
IS
qty_not_found EXCEPTION;
PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT ( qty_not_found, -20004 );
v_qty edtrad.orcrdlvd.dlvd_qty_delivrd%TYPE;
v_val2 VARCHAR2(9);
CURSOR qty
IS
SELECT vd.dlvd_qty_delivrd, "value_two"
FROM edtrad.orcrdlvd vd,
edtrad.orcrodet dt
WHERE vd.dlvd_supp_id = p_supp_id
AND vd.dlvd_order_id = p_ord_id
AND dt.odet_item_id = p_item_no
AND vd.dlvd_order_id = dt.odet_order_id
AND vd.dlvd_ord_line_no = dt.odet_line_no ;
BEGIN
OPEN qty;
FETCH qty INTO v_qty, v_val2;
IF ( qty%NOTFOUND ) THEN
CLOSE qty;
RAISE qty_not_found;
END IF;
CLOSE qty;
p _qty := v_qty ;
p _val2 := v_val2;
END get_default_qty ;
Notes
(1) You must fetch a cursor into a matching set of variables (or define a %ROWTYPE).
(2) set_default_qty is a bad name for this method. set implies value changing. This method doesn't alter anything, it simply retrieves data. Consequently, it should be called get_default_qty.

Can F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST FM return a value in a global variable?

Hi everybody,
I need to use F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST FM because I have to let users select an specific option before choosing another value. The point is that I need to save in a program global variable what the user selects, and decide something with it in the program.
Is it possible that F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST FM returns the value in a sinple variable or it has to be paramter?
I look in a lot of previous threads but I didn't find anything, and I don't know if it's possible.
Thanks and kind regards,
MMP.

Hi,
Sure you can. All you need to do is to store what the function returns in your global variable. It don't need to be returned back to screen field.
DATA: BEGIN OF VALUES OCCURS 0,
         CARRID TYPE SPFLI-CARRID,
         CONNID TYPE SPFLI-CONNID,
       END OF VALUES.
DATA: VALUES_TAB TYPE TABLE OF VALUES,
          G_VALUE TYPE SPFLI-CONNID. "global variable to store what is returned
"in PAI first populate your table
SELECT CARRID CONNID
    FROM SPFLI
    INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE VALUES_TAB
    UP TO 10 ROWS.
"then call the function but don't return the value to screen field
"If you specify the import parameters DYNPPROG, DYNPNR, and DYNPROFIELD, the useru2019s selection is
"returned to the corresponding field on the screen. If you specify the table parameter RETURN_TAB, the
"selection is returned into the table instead.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
       EXPORTING
            RETFIELD         = 'CONNID'
            VALUE_ORG        = 'S'
       TABLES
            VALUE_TAB        = VALUES_TAB
            RETURN_TAB      = RETURN_TAB.
"now simply read first row of return tab and store the value returned there in some global var
READ RETURN_TAB INDEX 1.
MOVE RETURN_TAB-FIELDVAL TO G_VALUE.

Can Evaluate function return object type

Hi
Evaluate function can be used to call db functions in OBIEE. I have a function which returns an object ( pl/sql table).
Created a simple report in Oracle Answers and added following in one of the columns
evaluate( 'get_ccid(%1)' as t_ccid , @{p_request})
When I try to run this in Oracle answers, getting syntax error. If same function returns varchar or number it works well.

evaluate( 'get_ccid(%1)' as t_ccid , @{p_request})Eakta, You syntax seems to be wrong here. What type of data your presentation variable contains here ?? You are saying its working fine with Number datatype..so can you try..somthing like below with some default value..
EVALUATE('get_ccid(%1)',@{p_request}{2})
OR
EVALUATE('get_ccid(%1)' as varchar(250),@{p_request}{ABC})
Also, refer
Syntax for Evaluate function in OBIEE

Hope its useful
