Can a procedure return a value

Can a stored procedure return a value or will that generate an error, do you have to change it to a function

You would have to make it as a OUT (IN OUT) parameter if you wanted to return something to the caller from a procedure.

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 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;
}

Can the main return a value?

is there a way for the main to return a value?
possible something with the concept like public static void main -> public static int main?
(it has been tested and doesnt work)
i would like to have the main return an integer or boolean value.
help plz?
rwer

System.exit(some_number);
doesnt work, it doesnt even compileIt does if you use it correctly. Apparently you didn't, or literally coded 'some_number' instead of taking it as an example.
and im pretty sure System.exit is a void functionSo? It ends up setting the process's exit code, so that the caller of the process may get that value.
I just want to know if its possible to return a value
from the main
changing "void main" to "int main" and having a
return 0; something that looks like
public static void main(String[] args) throws
Exception {
return 0;
will compile but will not run, im just looking for
ways to do this, any help would be nice...As stated before, no. But since the JVM is the one who calls main() and isn't going to do anything with such a return code, what good would it do?

Execute SQL Task, OLE DB, Stored Procedure, Returns unexpected value upon second run

when debugging SSIS, the "Execute SQL Task" runs a stored procedure and returns the expected value. When running the package a second time, the task returns an unexpected value. When running in VS2012 SQL editor, everything operates as expected.

Stored procedure returning some value

Hi All Experts,
I have written one stored procedure which is returning different
integer values according to condition.I am calling this
stored procedure through prepareCall() method then executeUpdate() method ,but it is always returning 1,not my desired value.
Pl help by writing some sample code.
Thanx in Advance.

....haven't u study the sql api for java?
"either the row count for INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE statements; or 0 for SQL statements that return nothing"
return 1 means that u update 1 row count.
So, if u want to return the data(int) from the database, u should use query to achieve it.

Can java method return multiple values

hey , I need big favor can i return two arrays in a single function

Not directly no.
But there are ways around it.
You can create a "result object" which has attributes being the two arrays, and return that object (ie wrap the arrays in another object)
You could put the arrays into a collection (eg ArrayList/Vector) and then return that object. You can then retrieve the two arrays as the first two items in that list.
Either of those should work, even if they are hacks ;-)

Can a method return a class ?

hi,
i have a simple question.
can a method return class value ?
in the below script i did'nt understand the commented line.
package com.google.gwt.sample.stockwatcher.client;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.rpc.RemoteService;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.rpc.RemoteServiceRelativePath;
@RemoteServiceRelativePath("login")
public interface LoginService extends RemoteService {
public LoginInfo login(String requestUri); //What is this ? is this a sample of what i asked ?
}

The answer to your question is yes.
The idea is that an object calls a function of another object (passing in objects to the function as arguments) in which that object returns an object (note the arguments or returned value of the function may alternately be primitive types). Each object typically encapsulates data and provides a rich set of functions to the calling object so that calling object doesn't have to deal with the raw data directly. Therefore, not only does the calling object get the data it wants, but also a rich set of functions that can manipulate that data.
Example:
Book book = new Book();
int characterCount = book.getChapter(3).getParagraph(4).getSentence(12).getWord(8).getCharacterCount();
In the above, each object (Book, Chapter,Paragraph,Sentence,Word) has a rich set of functions it provides to its caller.
Example: the Sentence Object has a collection of word objects (raw data). Functions it provides to Paragraph object are:
Word getWord(int index), Words getWords(), int getWordCount().
If you haven't already done so, I suggest reading a book on Java from cover to cover to pick up such Object Oriented concepts.

Can a procedure in select return more of 1 value

Is it possibile write a procedure called from a SELECT that return 2 value?
For ex:
SELECT proc_a (par1,par2, ret1,ret2) from xtable
where ret1 and ret2 are value returned from proc_a
Thanks

Well it goes something like this. However you need to remember that joining in SQL may be considerably more efficient than calling PL/SQL functions, plus you should pay attention to how many times the function actually gets called in different scenarios (I report this via a call to DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE).

SOAP TO JDBC scenario: calling stored procedure which will return the value

Hi
I have Soap To Jdbc scenario in which I am going to call the Stored Procedure at target side which will be executed and it is going to return the result set .
Result contains following values.
return code as ( 0 Or 1) and also specific exception message if its return code as 1.
Could you suggest me the way by which I can handled this return code and send it back to the Sap PI system then the same thing is directed the to SMTP server for sending mail to consern person.
Regards
Kumar

The OUT parameters of stored procedure will be returned as response. Where exactly are you facing the proble? Here is a complete walkthourgh
/people/luis.melgar/blog/2008/05/13/synchronous-soap-to-jdbc--end-to-end-walkthrough
In your case, you don't want response at sender. Instead you want to mail it. For this you may use BPM to design your scenario with following steps
Receive (to receive data from sender)
Send Sync (to stored procedure and get response)
Send Async (to mail receiver)

Can oracle function return more than one value

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

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.

Can be passed Formula Column value to Procedure/Function?

Below cf_value is return after some calculation by using main query.
Can be directly passed formula column value to procedure without assinged to placeorder?
as below..
f_convert(:cf_value,new_value);
My Procedure is...
PROCEDURE f_convert( val1 in number,val2 in out number) IS
BEGIN
val2 := val1 * 100;
END;
If anyone knows pls reply me....

Actually, if there is any other calculations there (In Proceudre)
Can I used is as below??
PROCEDURE f_convert( val1 in number,val2 in out number) IS
BEGIN
val2 := val1 * 100;
return (val2);
END;
----A procedure cannot return a value, the return clause in my previous post was part of the function for formula column.
Suppose you have a formula column say CF_2 then the function for it will be as:
function cf_2formula return number
is
val1 number;
val2 number;
begin
val2 := :cf_1 * 100; -- or val2 := val1 * 100 --parameters not allowed in formula column function
-- All the other code that you need inclusive of calling function, procedure as in any PL/SQL block can be placed
return (val2);
end;So any other calculation can be used in the formula column function

Call plsql procedure from ADFBC which returns a value.

Hi All,
I want to call one of my SQL Procedures which returns 4 values after execution from my AMImpl file.
The code snippet on how I am trying to call the procedure is below, but I am in need of how to fetch the return value of the procedure once its executed.
public void callPlSql(String firstParm, String secondParm) {
CallableStatement s = this.getDBTransaction().createCallableStatement("BEGIN my_pl_sql_procedure(?, ?); END;", 0);
try {
s.setString(1,firstParm);
s.setString(2,secondParm);
s.execute;
} catch (SQLException e) {
throw new JboException(e);
any idea how to get hold of the return values from the executed procedure ?
Thanks
TK

after you executed the procedure, you can get the output based on their type and index
public void callPlSql(String firstParm, String secondParm) {
CallableStatement s = this.getDBTransaction().createCallableStatement("BEGIN my_pl_sql_procedure(?, ?); END;", 0);
try {
s.setString(1,firstParm);
s.setString(2,secondParm);
s.execute;
e.getDate(index of your output);
e.getInt(index of your output);
e.getString(index of your output);
} catch (SQLException e) {
throw new JboException(e);
}you can also check this:
