CommandTable returning as Procedure

Hi all. Got something strange going on here. I'm writing an app that will search through the SQL in all of our reports (all of our reports are written using a single Command object). Some of the reports for some reason are returning their tables as CrystalReports.Procedure, rather than CrystalReports.CommandTable. Trying to cast it to the latter expectedly causes an invalid cast exception. I've double-checked the ones doing this, and there is only one table behind each report, and each one is indeed a Command.
While playing around for possible solutions, I ended up tidying up some of the code in one of the reports; I didn't make any real changes to anything, just prettied up the code some. One of the things I did was to replace any instances of 4 spaces with a single tab character. And suddenly, it's now seeing it as a CommandTable for that report. I'm assuming it has something to do with a size limit of the CommandText, but I can't find anything documented anywhere on this.
Is this a known issue, and is there any workaround, aside from cleaning up all the code? Main thing I'm concerned about is that if this is indeed caused by hitting a limit for the CommandText, doing some code beautification on the offending reports may work for some, but may not work for others with exceptionally long complex queries. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Thanks for the responses.

Let me know if you would like any of the exact version numbers for any of the actual libraries.
In this case, I wouldn't guess it's specifically parameters doing it. Usually we do use parameters in our command objects, but not always. For the ones that are giving the problem, the number of parameters varies anywhere from 0 to more than 5.
I agree with you Don that long term the ideal solution would be to move all of these queries into the database (thus alleviating the need for this tool in the first place); I suggested the same thing when I first got here, but not exactly a tiny undertaking (we have hundreds of reports). So yes, long term solution, this would be ideal, it's just not something we can approach at the moment; we may end up having to work towards this by attrition as reports get updated.
An interesting thought about the driver. I'll play around using different ones to see if there's any change and let you know what I come back with, although the app itself is not making any connection to the DB; it's just checking out the table, grabbing the command text, and closing up. However, I suppose it could be something with how the report itself is being saved based on what driver was used when the report was built. I'll follow up on this after testing.

Return pricing procedure-

Dear all-
After defining separate pricing procedure for return sales .

Oracle.sql.STRUCT and returns from procedures

I need to know how to retrieve information out of a stored procedure. I have a stored procedure that has a IN/OUT parameter that is used to return an array of an oracle TYPE that is set up in the database (it consists of two numbers and a varchar2. So I am returning an array of these types). I need to call this stored procedure from JDBC and retrieve the data out of it. I can setup the outParameter of the statement and also get the Object out of the statement once the procedure is called. But what is returned to me? An array of oracle.sql.STRUCT objects? A single oracle.sql.STRUCT object? A multi-dimensional array of java objects? Or something else?
Thanks
null

as far as I know, the STRUCT is the returned geometry. so you can declare a SDO_GEOMETRY variable and assing the STRUCT directly to this variable.
For example you have a variable 'geo_variable' and assign it the result of a function like this:
geo_variable := SDO_GEOM.SDO_DIFFERENCE(geom1, geom2, tol );
what you see written like this "oracle.sql.STRUCT@6c08b2.." I believe is the stuct @ the memory address 6c08b2..

Multiple row return in Procedure

I am trying to convert a SQL Server to Oracle 8i. They have a bunch of procedures that return multiple rows. How can this be handled in Oracle?

In Oracle this is done by using collections. It is really only viable if you are creating packages out of the procedures since you will need to define the type definitions prior to defining the procedure. Here are some hints and a link:
TYPE rec IS RECORD OF something ;
TYPE tab IS TABLE OF rec ;
PROCEDURE getTable (
p_table_output OUT tab )

Returns pricing procedure for sales document RE !!

Hi, friends !
I have doubt in the logic that while doing sales flow from order to billing it picks one pricing procedure. And for returns i want another pricing procedure should be picked.
As we are giving reference fo Invoice for Returns document it normally picks the old pricing procedure but not the new pricing procedure.
Please let me know how to configure to pick the new pricing procedure for RE document type.
Thanks & Regards,
Sreedhar.

Hiii Sredhar How are you !!!! where are u !!!
Go through this steps
--> First you define the New pricing procedure in the transaction V/08.
>You define the new document pricing procedure in the IMG path>SPRO>Sales and distribution>Basic functions>Pricing>Price control>Define and assign pricing procedures>Define Document pricing procedure.
-->Now you assign this Document pricing procedure to the Return order type in the detail screen.
-->Now you determine the pricing procedure through OVKK transaction with new defined document pricing procedure and pricing procedue.
-->Maintain the condition records for that condition types.
-->Now you create the Return order it will pick the new pricing
Still if it not picks check the Copy control settings In the VTAF transaction
Go to item details there you eneter "B" carry out new pricing in the Pricing type field
I hope it will help you

How these values can return from procedure

Hi,
Here is my procedure, i wanted to return values through this procedure as i assinged values to the d,e and f.But getting error as shown. Is this the way to use the procedure in this case. Also would like to know can i use function instead of procedure for this case.
create or replace procedure Test(a number ,b number, c number, d out number,e out number,f out number ) as
r1 number :=45 ;
r2 number:=43;
r3 number :=32 ;
begin
select 1,2,3 into r1,r2,r3 from dual;
d :=r1;
e :=r2;
f :=r3;
end ;
ORA-06550: line 1, column 18:

ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:

Thanks

How did you call the procedure? From the error message my guess would be that it was something like:
SQL> exec test(1, 2, 3, '', '', '');
BEGIN test(1, 2, 3, '', '', ''); END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 18:

ORA-06550: line 1, column 26:
PLS-00363: expression '' cannot be used as an assignment target
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignoredWhen it should be more like:
SQL> var d number;
SQL> var e number;
SQL> var f number;
SQL> exec test(1,2,3,:d, :e, :f)
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> select :d, :e, :f from dual;
:D :E :F
1 2 3Since you are returning multiple values, you should not use a function for this. You could return a collection from the function, but you probably master the basics before you start trying things like that.

Sales return tax procedure

Respected ones,
while creating a sales return order based on the billing document date , if the sales return is within six months we need to capture net value + tax and after six months we need to capture only the net value . How do go about this.
I read in the forums and they asked to wiite a routine for this.
what would be the logic behind this.

thanks..........not received any reply from forums

Stored Procedure: Function returns Array

I was just wondering if following scenario is possible in a stored procedure.
I have a package, which includes 4 different functions and 1 procedure. Procdure uses ref cursor to return values in my reporting tool. What I am trying to do is to write a function which takes input and return array of varchar. Something like..
Package ABC
Function student_classes (student_no in Varchar2) return [array]
begin
select class_nbr into [array]
from student_table
where student_nbr = student_no;
return [array];
end student_classes;
procedure students_info (rpt_cursor IN OUT rpt_type)
begin
OPEN rpt_cursor FOR
select
student_name,
student_nbr,
student_address,
student_classes (student_nbr) --returns array
from student_table;
end student_info; --end of procedure
end abc; --end of pacakge.
I used [array], as I am ont sure how to define (syntax) it in spec part of package or in body. I will really appreciate if someone could help me with this function.
Thank you

Thanks for the reply Tonguc Y.
I declared an array in my package declaration
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE rpt_TESTING_pkg
AS TYPE rpt_type IS REF CURSOR;
     TYPE DIAGARRAY IS VARRAY(20) OF VARCHAR2(6);
     FUNCTION DIA_CODES (MNO IN VARCHAR2) RETURN DIAGARRAY;
     PROCEDURE member (rpt_cursor IN OUT rpt_type);
END rpt_TESTING_pkg;
but then when I try to use it in my function it gives me error that I should declare DIAGARRAY.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY rpt_TESTING_pkg
as
FUNCTION DIA_CODES (MNO IN VARCHAR2)
               RETURN DIGARRAY AS diags DIGARRAY;
begin
<sql block>
end dia_codes;
end rpt_TESTING_pkg;
Any suggestions.

Invoking stored procedure that returns array(oracle object type) as output

Hi,
We have stored procedures which returns arrays(oracle type) as an output, can anyone shed some light on how to map those arrays using JPA annotations? I tried using jdbcTypeName but i was getting wrong type or argument error, your help is very much appreciated. Below is the code snippet.
JPA Class:
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.sql.Array;
import java.util.List;

import javax.persistence.Id;

     parameters={

TeamMembersDetailsOT contains the same attributes defined in the OBJ_TEAM_ROLES.

A few things.
You are not using a JDBC Array type in your procedure, you are using a PLSQL TABLE type. An Array type would be a VARRAY in Oracle. EclipseLink supports both VARRAY and TABLE types, but TABLE types are more complex as Oracle JDBC does not support them, they must be wrapped in a corresponding VARRAY type. I assume your OBJ_TEAM_ROLES is also not an OBJECT TYPE but a PLSQL RECORD type, this has the same issue.
Your procedure does not return a result set, so "returnsResultSet=true" should be "returnsResultSet=false".
In general I would recommend you change your stored procedure to just return a select from a table using an OUT CURSOR, that is the easiest way to return data from an Oracle stored procedure.
If you must use the PLSQL types, then you will need to create wrapper VARRAY and OBJECT TYPEs. In EclipseLink you must use a PLSQLStoredProcedureCall to access these using the code API, there is not annotation support. Or you could create your own wrapper stored procedure that converts the PLSQL types to OBJECT TYPEs, and call the wrapper stored procedure.
To map to Oracle VARRAY and OBJECT TYPEs the JDBC Array and Struct types are used, these are supported using EclipseLink ObjectRelationalDataTypeDescriptor and mappings. These must be defined through the code API, as there is currently no annotation support.
I could not find any good examples or doc on this, your best source of example is the EclipseLink test cases in SVN,
