Conditional If-THEN statement in PL/SQL

Hi,
I've got a question here. I looked through some other threads, but didn't really see any discussing what I'm trying to achieve.
I've got a statement:
SELECT DISTINCT AID, ACTIVE, REQUESTOR_NAME, REQUESTOR_EMAIL,BUS_CONTACT ,DEPT,LOCATION,DATE_REQ,BUSVP,VP_PHONE,VP_DATE,BRANCH,PRIORITY,STATUS1,STATUS2 FROM CHANGE_CONTROL_ADMIN a INNER JOIN CHANGE_CONTROL_USER b ON a.CHANGE_CTRL_ID = b.CHANGE_CTRL_ID WHERE UPPER(REQUESTOR_NAME) LIKE ? AND DEPT = ? ORDER BY AID;
So this is in my Java servlet coded like so, but I am pulling the DEPT value from a dropdown menu item list and setting that string value = to the corresponding dept. Works great! Except for when/if someone left the department select menu to the default, which is "" or null.
So I'm wondering, is there a way to tweak the PL/SQL statement so that "AND DEPT = ?" is bypassed if the value is null?
How would that look?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

Multiple select statements in PL/SQL

Hi All
I am new to PL/SQL and my experience is in writing TSQL. There we can write a SQL statement like this to return 3 result set
SELECT empname FROM Employee
SELECT authname FROM Author
SELECT athname FROM sport
how can we write the same 3 statements in PL/SQL and attain the 3 resultsets.
I tried to implement the same using PL/SQL anonymous blocks. But it didn't worked.
DECLARE
P_RECORDSET OUT SYS_REFCURSOR
BEGIN
OPEN P_RECORDSET FOR
SELECT empname FROM Employee;
SELECT authname FROM Author;
SELECT athname FROM sport;
END;
can anybody show how it can be done.
Thanks in advance

No i just want to select 3 result sets from 3 select statements, so that it is helpful to compare the resultsets. Compare? How? This is done using the SQL language. Not PL/SQL. Not Java. Not VB. Not anything else.
You would use these other language for flow control and certain forms of conditional logic - but the actual comparison of data sets is done in SQL.
Of course, that is if you do want to do it the most optimal way, that will perform well, and scale well.
SQL is not an I/O API layer - to be used to read() a record and write() a record as if the RDBMS is an ISAM file. That form of row-by-row and slow-by-slow processing dates back to the 80's when we used Cobol.. (or at least for those old farts like me that can actually remember coding in Cobol in the 80's ;-) ).
You want to design and code database applications that are fast, robust, and can scale? Then learn how to use SQL correctly.

If-then statement in formula node

**Note - The attached file shows the current block diagram.
I have a formula node inside a for loop. Inside the formula node I am trying to program the if-then statement:
If T1<2.0E-5 OR T1>5.5E-4 THEN GOTO 3
U7=U7+V
I have 4 items I need help with:
(1) Is 'II' the correct operator for 'OR'?
(2) Is 'goto' an acceptable operator within LabVIEW?
(3) 'U7' is building a 1D array. How do I need to define it? Is it simply 'int U7'? Also, I will add an output value named 'U7' on the formula node wall with an indicator wired to it from outside the for loop.
(4) Is my use of the equal sign appropriate or do I need to use '=='?
Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the help. I went ahead and rewrote the program so I could omit the 'goto's. Another problem that I am having is that I want 2 statements for 1 assignment:
if (T1>=.002004 && T1<=.002584)
B1=U
A1=V;
I want to assign both B1 and A1 values when the above condition is true. I tried a comma between the U and A1 but it doesn't work as well. Should I define A1 and B1 separately? Or would this create problems?
if (T1>=.002004 && T1<=.002584)
B1=U;
if (T1>=.002004 && T1<=.002584)
A1=V;
Thanks,

"If, Then" Statements Driving Selection

I am creating a price list/order form and need some help with "If, Then" statements and how their result drives a price selection.
I have a product that is priced differently based on both how many is purchased and how many colors it has. My variables are (a) one, two, three or four colors, and (b) 10 to 500 pieces in six tiers (10-24, 25-49, 50-99, 100-249, 250-499, 500+).
I want to autopopulate a price field based on the color number and the quantity, making the pricing foolproof and the total order amount automatically calculated.
Here's my situation:
- Field A is Number of Colors (let's say 1-color)
- Field B is Quantity (let's say it's 23, putting us in the 10-24 tier pricing)
- Field C is Unit Price (1-color @ 23 qty would be $76.63 each)
- Field D is Total Price (23 x $76.63)
My statement would look like the following, but I don't know how to structure this in the form fields or where to put the quantity or pricing table for the software to calculate B or C:
If A is 1-color, and B is 23, then C is $76.63.
My Field D calculation is pretty straight-forward (Field C x Field D) if I can figure out a way to determine Field C's value.
Help!

Update Contract conditions in Real State

Hi,
I am working with real state moduel, while creating the contract offer user when selecting the conditions wants to select one condition on the basis of which i through some abap code should populate all the conditions.
The thing is can anyone tell me if there is a BADI or enhancement for this where i can put my code.
Thanks

Hi
I was able to solve the problem by using BADI_RECD_CONDITION,
I implemented the funtion named as CHECK_ALL.
In this function used the following code
io_object - > method import parameter
*To get Contract details
CALL FUNCTION 'API_RE_OF_GET_DETAIL'
    EXPORTING
      io_object    = io_object "Object containing the
                               "reference for cont. offer
    IMPORTING
      et_condition = lt_condition
    EXCEPTIONS
      error        = 1
      OTHERS       = 2.
*Manipulated the conditions and then updated them using
*   update contracts
    CALL FUNCTION 'API_RE_OF_CHANGE'
      EXPORTING
        io_object    = io_object
        it_condition = lt_condition_change
      EXCEPTIONS
        error        = 1
        OTHERS       = 2.
These functions provide us with the updated data which the user has entered and not saved, that is the runtime data.

DISCOVERER 3.1, IF,THEN STATEMENT

Dear All,
I am not an experienced Discoverer user. Please forgive my ignorance.
I would like to create a column that will "fill in" certain text based on the contents of other columns.
I have been partially successful by using the DECODE function, but I have only been able to base my result on one column.
What I need to do is create text statements that will vary based on the contents of 3 different columns. For example IF Fruit=** AND Color=*** AND Date Picked = *** then Statement= MY STATEMENT.
FRUIT COLOR DATE PICKED STATEMENT
APPLE RED 30<SYSDATE BAD RED APPLE
APPLE RED SYSDATE O.K. RED APPLE
APPLE GREEN SYSDATE BAKING APPLE
PEACH PINK >SYSDATE GOOD FOR PIES
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Dear Andrew,
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. I will try this.
nancy
Hi Nancy,
I am not an experienced Discoverer user, but I know SQL. So here is a SQL solution, there might be Discoverer specific ways of doing this I do not know about.
OK, First try breaking your problem down into parts.
Outermost: DECODE(fruit,'APPLE', apple_only_section ,
fruit,'PEACH', peach_only_section ,
other_fruit_section)
apple_only_section: DECODE( color , 'RED', apple_red_section ,
color , 'GREEN', apple_green_section ,
other_apple_section )
// Here is where things get 'tricky' to try to determine date ranges.
apple_red_section: DECODE ( greatest( trunc(sysdate)-30,date_picked) ,
trunc(sysdate)-30) , 'BAD RED APPLE' ) ,
'GOOD RED APPLE' )
The 'greatest' statement above is key to doing date-ranges in a column,
And you should think about whether the dates should be truncated to remove the time component (as I do for sysdate above).
And once you have the sections like 'apple_red_section' that you know work, running independently, you start embedding them together to form the higher level statements.
You end up with hard to understand gobbledegook, but it does work.
The decode statement is tricky even for a programmer, so work in stages and get each part working before you try to combine them. Better yet get a programmer to write exactly what you want.

Adding more statements to the sql commands window

Hi, I'm using oracle database express edition10g and I just started using oracle.
And I'm having a problem adding more then one statement inside the sql commands gui window.
I write:
CREATE TABLE "testTable" (
     "field1" VARCHAR2(2),
     "field2" NUMBER(2,0),
     "field3" NUMBER(2,0),
     CONSTRAINT "Test_PK" PRIMARY KEY("field1")
Oracle reports: table created
I write
DROP TABLE testTable;
CREATE TABLE "testTable" (
     "field1" VARCHAR2(2),
     "field2" NUMBER(2,0),
     "field3" NUMBER(2,0),
     CONSTRAINT "Test_PK" PRIMARY KEY("field1")
Oracle reports: ORA-00911: invalid character
I remove the ; char
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
I look in the help files and it sais that ; / and nothing is allowed to end a operation.
I gues ; is a valid char so it's reporting something else?
I tried pasting my code inside wordpad and even retyping it. Mayby I have a hidden char? =>same error.
When I run drop and create seperatly it works.
When I run both sql statements inside sql+ it works
What m I doing wrong?

To run multiple SQL in one shot, you need to save them as SQL batch file,
Save your statements as recreate.sql
DROP TABLE testTable;
CREATE TABLE "testTable" (
"field1" VARCHAR2(2),
"field2" NUMBER(2,0),
"field3" NUMBER(2,0),
CONSTRAINT "Test_PK" PRIMARY KEY("field1")
);Then call it from SQLPlus,
@recreate.sql

Help! When I try to purchase a song from iTunes and have agreed to the terms and conditions, it then tells me that my session has timed out... but I've only been trying for a few minutes. I can't buy songs if it keeps doing this!

Help! When I try to purchase a song from iTunes and have agreed to the terms and conditions, it then tells me that my session has timed out... but I've only been trying for a few minutes. I can't buy songs if it keeps doing this! Does anyone know why it's doing this and how to fix it? Thanks!

Hi mterry1723, one solution that might be worth trying is this:
- Close iTunes, if it's open
- Open Safari and got to 'Preferences'
- Select 'Security' on the top
- Untick all the security options in the menu
- Click the 'Show Cookies' button and look for all the 'apple' entries in the left-hand column.
- Highlight them (select them collectively) and press 'Remove'
- Now open iTunes and buy the song as usual.
- You may be asked to do the same security process as before, so do as asked.
- Hopefully, the security check will now have accepted your answers and start downloading the song as normal.
Remember to re-tick all the required security options you had just un-ticked in Safari preferences. You don't need to bother about opening the cookies again.
I hope this has worked for you and my profoundest apologies if it has not. Worth a go, though!
I did see this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18259935#18259935 which may be of more help, mainly the last entry by 'c2boyd'

Problem with condition IF THEN in Message MApping

Hi,
We are not getting correct ouput when we use condition IF THEN without else in message Mapping .We are sending data from File to XI to R/3.
We are using file adapter and IDOC adapter to create customer in R/3.
In message Mapping we are creating Segment E1KNB1M and E1KNBKM based on condition.

find the length of Compnaycode with LENGTH function.Pass that value as one of the parameter to function GREATER.Pass second parameter to function GREATER a constant (0).Pass the result to If without else function.If this is true pass Item to IF THEN function and Map the result to E1KNB1M.
Our mapping is not giving desired output in below scenario:

Here 3 Idoc are created under ZDEBMAS06.
First IDOC contain segment E1KNB1M and E1KNBKM as desired because first idoc in Source XML contains Item data.
Second IDOC contain segment E1KNA1M only as desired because second Idoc in Source XML does not contains item data.
Third IDOC does not contain Segment E1KNBKM and E1KNB1M which is not a desired output. It should contain these segments as third idoc in source XML have item data.
But we are getting right output in case we also have Item data under second IDOC in source XML.
Please let me know where I am doing wrong.

Run sql statements in PL/Sql Developer without installing Oracle database?

Hi all,
I wish to ask is there any possibility to run Run sql statements in PL/Sql Developer without installing Oracle database?
Regards.

Hello Jimmy,
this is the forum for the tool SQL Developer and, as the title says, *(Not for general SQL/PLSQL questions)*.
PL/Sql Developer is not an Oracle tool, but from allound allroundautomations.
And you need access to a database to run SQL statements. This does not need to be one installed by yourself.

Checking conditions in SELECT statement

Hi All,
I am relative new to ABAP and I would like to ask a question about checking conditions in SELECT statement in the "WHERE" part.
There are two checkboxes at the selection screen and each should disable one of conditions (marked with two stars) in the SELECT mentioned below.
My question is, whether there exists an option how to solve this problem without using solution like:
IF checkobx1.
SELECT (without one condition)
ELSEIF checkbox2.
SELECT(without other condition).
ELSE.
SELECT (with both conditions)
SELECT qprueflos qherkunft qaufnr qsa_aufnr qmatnr qwerkvorg
          qpastrterm qpaendterm
          qverid qobjnr vobjnr AS objnr_fa vauart
    FROM qals AS q INNER JOIN vkaufk AS v
    ON qaufnr = vaufnr
    INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE gt_qals
    WHERE q~prueflos IN s_pruefl
      AND q~stat35     EQ space
      AND q~werk       EQ loswk
      AND q~herkunft IN s_herk
      AND q~offennlzmk EQ 0
      AND q~offen_lzmk EQ 0
      AND q~pastrterm IN s_startt
      AND q~paendterm LE s_endt
      AND v~auart IN s_auart.    "('ZCPA', 'ZCPK', 'ZCBA').

Hi,
With this, I think u can directly read into WHERE clause
IF checkbox1.
    v_where = '& BETWEEN ''&'' AND ''&'' '.
    REPLACE '&' WITH key_field INTO v_where.
    REPLACE '&' WITH field_LOW INTO v_where.
    REPLACE '&' WITH field_HIGH INTO v_where.
    CONDENSE v_where.
ELSEIF checkbox2.
    v_where = '& BETWEEN ''&'' AND ''&'' '.
    REPLACE '&' WITH key_field INTO v_where.
    REPLACE '&' WITH field_LOW INTO v_where.
    REPLACE '&' WITH field_HIGH INTO v_where.
    CONDENSE v_where.
ENDIF.
select * into corresponding fields of table ITAB
             from (table_name)
            where (v_where).
In this key_field is your fieldname in the where clause and field_low, field_high are range of values.
If i write static query it looks like this
RANGES: MATNR1 FOR MARA-MATNR.
MATNR1-LOW = MATNR_LOW.
MATNR1-HIGH = MATNR_HIGH.
MATNR1-SIGN = 'I'.
MATNR1-OPTION = 'BT'.
APPEND MATNR1.
select * into corresponding fields of table itab
from mara where matnr BETWEEN 'M100' AND 'M200'.
Hope it helps u
thanks\
