Creating a Temporary Variable
How can I create a Temporary Variable to be used in the WHERE Clause of a Select statement. Can you please post an example of this. Thanks!
In what context?
It looks like what you have here is SQL. The SQL language doesn't have variables as such.
If you put this into PL/SQL, which would involve selecting the data into some local variables or putting the select in a cursor, then you could certainly use a local PL/SQL variable in the WHERE clause, as I demonstrated above.
If you want to put this into a script that would be called from SQL*Plus, you could use the substitution variable example above.
If you are trying to put this somewhere else, you're going to have to be a bit more specific...

Im sure theres an easy solution to this and that I must be looking at it the wrong way.In my calc script, Ive created a temporary variable called BC_uf_wages containing the following members. My actual outline for the urban fare has many members. Ive also setup a province attribute splitting the urban fare locations into BC and Alberta. But how do I bring that attribute into my temporary variable if I just want BC (without creating an alternatie rollup)? BC_uf_wages="bp1-2002"->cod->"WAGES/SALARIES*"->"urban fare";Thanks in advanceRFung

REP-0118 Unable to create a temporary file in "Windows 7 "
We are using Report Builder Version 6.0.8.24.0 and Windows7 32 bit operating system, here
While Running a Report through form i am getting this below
error.
REP-0118 Unable to create a temporary file*
But while running the same report in a windows 98 or windowsXp PC
i dont get this error.
What might be the problem.
pls advice the solution....
thanks in Advance...
Stalin...try this..
REP-118: Unable to create a temporary file.
Case 1: The environment variable that determines in what directory to create temporary files is set to an invalid directory.
Case 2: There is not enough free space on the disk to create the temporary file.
Case 3: A temporary file that cannot be modified already exist
In regedit under branch hkey_local_machine/software/oracle/<oracle home>
I have changed the variable REPORTS_TMP. I changed the value for this to c:\reports_tmp
or you can use something like this where you want Oracle reports to create temp files. Hope this helps -
Creating a temporary file in the user computer
Hi everyone,
I want to create a new file using:
File folder = new File(folderString);
when folderString should be a folder where all temporary files of the user are saved (its a dynpage code).
So I found the following code in <b>JavaScript</b>:
var cTemporaryFolder = 2,tmpdir='';
var fso;
fso = new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject');
var fso;
tmpdir = fso.GetSpecialFolder(cTemporaryFolder);
But how do I combine the code with the statement
File folder = new File(folderString);
(I eventually need: folderString = tmpdir - but one variable knows <b>java</b> and the other <b>javascript</b>)
Thanks so much.
I promise to award points...
Ruthie.Hi Ruthie,
Try out this code
try{
// Create a temporary file object
File f = new File("d://TestTemp");
File tempFile = File.createTempFile("mail", "temp",f);
System.out.println("Created temporary file: " + tempFile + "\n");
// Delete temp file when program exits
tempFile.deleteOnExit();
// Write to temporary file
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(tempFile));
out.write("TEMP FILE: " + tempFile);
out.close();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.println("Press any key");
br.read();
System.out.println("Temp File will be deleted");
catch(IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Now, the temp file will be created in d:\TestTemp\ folder. Before pressing any key just check in this folder. You will see the temp file. Pressing any key will exit the program. After this check the d:\TestTemp\ folder, the tempfile will be deleted.

Saving values as temporary variable as in C, but with no UI controls
Hello Labview world, I am a placement student been thrown into the deep end to design a program that auto calibrates a ADC using labview. Given the option to do this in C and i would not have a problem but labview is different. I have the folloing problem. The ADC has to register to fine tune its output. FCR (gain) and OCR(offset). The adjust the data in the DOR (data output register) of the ADC. I want to set a known voltage on the input of the ADC (say 500mA) and then i will read the output code of the ADC and convert into a voltage in the range of 0 - 5V. I have all the controls for the ADC already programmed. My problem comes when the output code is not equal to the voltage i sent in. for example my first try i got a output code equivalent to 1.13V for a 0.5V input. To adjust the output code i need to read the FCR and OCR registers and then save these to a variable in memory but i do not wish to display them on the front panel as there is no need. i work out the difference between the output and input and divide this by two. I now need to start adjust my first register (FCR default value of 800000 Hex) until i reach the midpoint between the current OP voltage and known IP voltage. I will increment by 100000HEX first (FCR now equal to 900000H) and then read back the new OP voltage. If it has now over shot my midpoint voltage i need to reduce the incremental value and then add this to my first FCR value which i hoped to have saved earlier so that the new value would be 810000H. Then read back the voltage and adjust registers so on so forth until i home in on the midpoint value. once there i will adjust the OCR register in the same way to reach myactual IP voltage. I know this method is crude but it does work and I'm just stuck on how to save temporary variables in labview that i can keep going back to just like having the following in C that i can set when i like : int previousFCR = 0x800000;
int NewFCR;
int IncrementVal;
Sorry about the description being so long but any help u clever people could give me would be a great help!!!

HowardHello.
To be quite honest, I did not read your problem description in very much detail, because judging from the title of your question, your main interest is not displaying intermediate results while you are calculating something in a loop. If this is the case, I hope this answer helps:
Roughly speaking, a wire is the closest thing there is in LabVIEW to what we call a variable in a text-based language. If you do not connect the wire to any front panel object, then its value is never displayed.
If your program is already working, and the only thing that bothers you is displaying intermediate results, perhaps the simplest thing to do is to make the indicator invisible while you are looping, and make it visible again when you get the final result. You d
o this by right-clicking on the indicator, and selecting Create > Property Node, and writing to the "visible" property (you have to right-click on the property node and select "change to write" and then connect the appropriate boolean value).
If you are still developing the program, and I am right in assumming that you have some kind of loop which stops when the correct value is reached, use shift registers to "pass" the value of a wire (variable) to the next iteration of the loop. Do not connect any indicator to the wire inside the loop, because the indicator will be updated with each iteration of the loop. Instead, place the indicator outside the loop and connect it to the right hand side of the shift register. That way, the indicator takes the value of the wire in the last iteration.
Hope this helps. -
Create global temporary table in delete trigger
Hi to all, I am triyng to create a global temporary table in trigger so i can hold all the deleted rows and do some stuff after the statement which uses the table that fires the trigger.
In this way I am trying to avod mutating table error. but the following trigger gives error.

Please help me about the situation.
Thanks in advance.
GokhanKarthick you are absolutly right
Our main process is to migrate sql server 2000 database to oracle 11g and I am stuck with the triggers that reference to table that fires the trigger itself.
Can you help me about how i can overcome mutating table errors using compund triggers? Espacially for the situation that one statement tries to update or delete multiple rows on a table.
You can understand my logic from the above code. I want to hold all the affected rows in a table and in after statement body using a cursor on that table I want to do required changes on the table. How can I do that or how should I do ?

Error while creating a Characteristic Variable with Replacement Path
Hi all,
I am trying to create the Characteristic Variable ZVLOWDT (Low Date') with Replacement Path on characteristic ZSTARTDT (Start Date) and it gives the error 'Source to replace 'Low Date' is not defined.
I have created a User Entry Variable VAR_DATE (Start Date) with interval like '01/01/2009 - 01/15/2009' and Customer Exit variable ZVCPDAY (does some calculation based on the input of VAR_DATE) on the same ZSTARTDT characteristic. I want to get the 01/01/2009 (lower range date of the selection) into this Characteristic Variable ZVLOWDT. We are in BI 7.0 and the following are it's properties:
General Tab:
Description: Low Date
Technical Name: ZVLOWDT
Type of Variable: Characteristic Value
Processing by: Replacement Path
Reference Characteristic: ZSTARTDT Start Date
Details Tab:
Variable Represents : Single value
Variable is: Mandatory
Variable is Ready for Input : unchecked
Replacement Path Tab: Replacement Rule
Replace Variable with : Variable
Variable : VAR_DATE
Replace with : KEY
Why I am getting this error, PLEASE ?
Thanks,
Venkat.Hi Khaja,
We could derive a Variable value from another Variable with out Customer Exit. There is a white paper.
First have the User Entry Variable (ZV_X) and it accepts the date range like '01/01/2009 - 01/31/2009'. Next create the Characteristic variable (ZV_Y) of Replacement Path for which source variable will be ZV_X and we could get the 'FROM Date' (01/01/2009) from the selection (ZV_X) into it (ZV_Y).
While creating the Characteristic variable (ZV_Y) of Replacement Path, I didn't find my newly created ZV_X variable in the list of available variables under 'Variable' header in 'Replacement Path' tab and it is causing the error 'Source to replace variable ZV_Y is not defined'. How could I create the Characteristic variable of Replacement Path, PLEASE ?
Thanks,

Hi,
We have installed CIM 9.0.1 and UCCE 9.0, we are able to pass the default activity_id and customer_name to ICM in the user.cim.activity.id and user.wim.customer.name.
But we want to pass the customer email which is available in CONTACT_POINT_DATA attribute
we have created a ecc variable in ICM called Call.user.cim.contact.point.data and have created a call variable in CIM called CONTACT_POINT_DATA. but we are not able to obtain this value in the ICM script.
Please suggest the correct procedure to create ecc variables for WIM 9.0.1.
Thanks
Kishore BHI Dilip,
This is fixed in CIM 9.0.2 where you can tag custom attributes to call variables and map them to icm ecc variable in the queue config

Unable to create the temporary folder. Error 183 when starting Distiller
New information discovered - see end of message!
Full error message is (window title is Acrobat Distiller):
"Unable to create the temporary folder
Error: 183 - cannot create a file when that file already exists."
I have no idea what file or what folder it is referring to. This is on an x86 Vista notebook and the message comes up when starting the notebook and also if you manually start Distiller 8. Updating did not help, nor did turning off the UAC, or running Distiller as Administrator. In the latter case, Distiller will open correctly, but the next time you need to use it, it fails. With the UAC turned off, the behavior is for it to show the Distiller window for a fraction of a second and close immediately. I also gave the user full rights to the C:\Program Files\Adobe folder and lower. Made no difference.
Coincidental with this is that the PDFMOfficeAddIn.dll add-in will not enable in Word - when it is checked, and I hit OK, I get the message:
"The connected state of Office Add-Ins registered in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE cannot be changed."
All of this is going on when logged in as an administrator. I have seen folks post about this issue, but no answers that actually fiux the problem, just suggest what I have already tried. Anyone seen this one?
The user is highly mobile, so I am not going to have a chance to work on her computer again until next week.
NEW INFO
I tried removing and reinstalling as administrator and the problem remains. However while trying to troubleshoot, I discovered some more details.
The message is being thrown when acrotray.exe is started as a process in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Control Set\Run and then tries to run acrodist.exe (which fails, BTW). If I don't let it run there and run acrotray,exe as administrator, then acrodist.exe runs as a process without an error. Additionally, stopping it from running in the registry, and then starting MS Word, the Acrobat add-in does load and even though there is an error thown, it still creates the PDF! I have other Vista 32 notebooks running various Acrobat versions with no problems.
Another key thing I found out is that Acrobat started throwing the error after an HP Scanjet 8400 and its software were installed. I tried explicitly giving the user (already an administrator) full rights to the Acrobat, HP and Read IRIS directories. Did not help the problem. I have to think that there is some interaction there, but sure don't know what it is.what i did to eliminate that error message, i don't think it eliminated th
e problem but now i can reboot and log in OK, was 2 things:
i went into my system registry and unchecked to start at startup and then disavled it.
i also had to go to each adobe icon, right click, go to properites, and than make all selections set to be administator. -
How to Create a Temporary Table with SQL Server
I know you can create a temporary table in SQL Server 2000, but not quite sure how to do it in CFMX 7, i.e., does the SQL go inside a <CFQUERY dbtype="query"> tag?
I'm pulling the main set of records from an Oracle server (1st data source), but it does not contain employee names, only employee IDs. Since I need to show the employee name along with the Emp ID, I'm then pulling a list of "current" employee names from a SQL Server (2nd data source), which is the main database on our CF server.
I've got a QofQ that works fine, except it only matches EmpIDs that exist in both result sets. Employees who are no longer employed, don't match, and don't display. Since I can't do a LEFT OUTER JOIN with a QofQ, what I need to do is get the records from the Oracle server into the SQL Server. Preferably in a temporary table.
I was hoping if I could get those Oracle records written to a temp table on the main SQL Server, in same database as the Employee Name table, I could then write a normal <CFQUERY> that uses a LEFT OUTER JOIN.
I think I could probably write a Stored Procedure that would execute the SQL to create the temporary table, but am trying to avoid having to write the SP, and do it the simplest way.
This query will be a program that can be run hundreds of times per day, with a form that allows users to select date ranges, locations, and other options. That starts the queries, which creates the report. So I just need the temp table to exist only until all the SQL has run, and the <CFOUTPUT> has generated a report.
If the premise is right, I just need some help with the syntax for creating a SQL Server temp table, when you want to write records to it from an external data source. I'm trying the following, but getting an error:
<CFQUERY name="ITE_Temp" datasource="SkynetSQL">
CREATE TABLE #MyTemp
( INSERT INTO #MyTemp
ITE2.TrueFile char (7) NOT NULL,
ITE2.CountOfEmployee int NULL,
ITE2.DTL_SUBTOT decimal NULL,
ITE2.EMPTYPE char (3) NULL,
ITE2.ARPT_CD char (3) NULL
</CFQUERY>
So I actually created a permanent table on the SQL Server, and wrote the below SQL, which does work, and does write the records to table. I can then write another CFQUERY with a LEFT OUTER JOIN, and get all the records, including those that don't have matching employee name:
<CFQUERY datasource="SkynetSQL">
<CFLOOP index="i" from="1" to = "#ITE2.RecordCount#">
INSERT INTO ITE_Temp
(FullFile,
EmployeeCount,
DTL_Amount,
EmployeeType,
station)
VALUES ('#ITE2.TrueFile[i]#',
#ITE2.CountOfEmployee[i]#,
#ITE2.DTL_SUBTOT[i]#,
'#ITE2.EMPTYPE[i]#',
'#ITE2.ARPT_CD[i]#')
</CFLOOP>
</CFQUERY>
But, I hate to have to create a table and physically write to it. For one, it seems slower, and doing it in temp would be in memory, and probably much faster, correct? Is there some way to code the above, so that it does something similar, but in a TEMPORARY TABLE? If I can figure out how to do this, I can pull data from multiple data sources and servers, and using SQL Server temp tables, work with the data as if it was all on the same SQL Server, and do some cool reports.
Everything I've done for the past few years, has all been from data from a single source, whether SQL Server, or another server. Now I need to start writing reports where data can come from 3 or 4 different servers, and be able to do joins (inner and outer). Thanks for any advice/help. Much appreciated.
GaryWhile waiting to hear back, I was able to write the query results from an outside Oracle server, to a table on the local SQL Server, and do the LEFT OUTER JOIN required for the final query and report to work. That was with this syntax:
<CFQUERY name="AddTableRecords" datasource="MyTable">
TRUNCATE TABLE ITE_Temp
<CFOUTPUT query="ITE2">
INSERT INTO ITE_Temp
(FullFile,EmployeeCount,DTL_Amount,EmployeeType,station)
VALUES
('#TrueFile#', #CountOfEmployee#, #DTL_SUBTOT#, '#EMPTYPE#', '#ARPT_CD#')
</CFOUTPUT>
</CFQUERY>
However, I was not able to write to a temporary table AND read the results. I got the syntax to run to write the above results to a temporary table. But when I tried to read and output the results from the temp table, I got an error. Also, it wouldn't take the single "#" (local) only the global "##" table var, using this syntax. Note that if I didn't have the DROP TABLE in the beginning, the 2nd time you run this query, you get an error telling you the table already exists.
<CFQUERY name="ITE_Temp2" datasource="MyTable">
DROP TABLE ##MyTemp2
CREATE TABLE ##MyTemp2
FullFile char (7) NOT NULL,
EmployeeCount int NULL,
DTL_Amount decimal NULL,
EmployeeType char (3) NULL,
station char (3) NULL
<CFOUTPUT query="ITE2">
INSERT INTO ##MyTemp2 VALUES
'#ITE2.TrueFile#',
#ITE2.CountOfEmployee#,
#ITE2.DTL_SUBTOT#,
'#ITE2.EMPTYPE#',
'#ITE2.ARPT_CD#'
</CFOUTPUT>
</CFQUERY>
So even though the above works, I could use some help in reading/writing the output. I've tried several things similar to below, but they don't work. It't telling me ITE_Temp2 does not exist. It's not easy to find good examples of creating temporary tables in SQL Server.
<CFQUERY name="QueryTest2" datasource="SkynetSQL">
SELECT *
FROM ITE_Temp2
</CFQUERY>
<CFOUTPUT query="ITE_Temp2">
Output from Temp Table<br>
<p>FullFile: #FullFile#, EmployeeCount: #EmployeeCount#</p>
</CFOUTPUT>
Thanks for any help/advice.

ORA-00955 reports when I try to "create global temporary table" in windows
Hi,
When I try to run the sql in my oracle 9i server which is installed in a windows2000 machine,
Create global temporary table test ...;
For the first time, I can create table successfully.
But I cannot access this table any more:
drop table test;
desc test;
select * from test;
In addition, if I try to create the table again, I got the error:
ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object
While the same table can be created and dropped in another oracle9i server which is installed in Solaris 9 machine.
So I suspect that this sould be a bug of window oracle server.
Is there anyone who can confirm this?
Or who can tell me how to report this bug to oracle?
Thanks in advance.
Please also refer the message at:

But the ORA-00955 reports when the author try to create table for the second time.

I have also made a search both in Google and in Oracle website and I cannot find any solution of it.Read Metalink Note:68098.1 Subject: Overview of Temporary Tables

Create current date variable at universe level
Hi Everyone
I have created report regarding to daily car sales. However there is records registered for further months, 2015 December for instance.
Actually they are error records, but I can't delete them since data transfer is realizing automatically and updates hourly.
That is why I have decided to use prompt for report: date is less or equal to current date. But couldn't find way how to create current date variable.
Please help with this.
Regards...Yes.
Create an object called Today as:
cast(convert(char(10),getdate(),23) as datetime)
Note that it will not parse because it does not reference a table. Don't associate it with a table just to get it parsing as you will then have that table in every query that uses the Today object, whether you want it or not!
It will work fine when you use it in your query. In your example, create a condition of Ship Date Less Than Or Equal To Today where Ship Date and Today are the names of the two objects. This will then translate into SQL as:
WHERE orders.ship_date <= cast(convert(char(10),getdate(),23) as datetime)
This will parse because the table orders is in the statement.
I hope that is clear.

Error creating Customer Exit variable, please help
Hi Experts,
This is the scenario, I need to obtain the convertion rate from the table TCURR in order to convert several currencies to USD, so I created a Customer Exit variable that gets the Period and based on that obtains the conversion rate for the last day of the given month from TCURR, the problem is when I created the Formula Variable to get the value from the Customer exit variable I got the following error:
'ZVARREGEXIT' ALREADY EXISTS; SELECT A DIFFERENT NAME.
But in not using that name anywhere on my variables creation, Im doing something wrong? How can I check wheres is that variable being used.
Ideas, comments are always welcome and appreciated.
Regards.Hi Ed,
Open Admin Workbench (RSA1) and choose Transport Connection --> Object Types --> Query Elements --> Variable --> Select Objects. Find the variable of interest and transfer it back to the main screen, then right-click and choose 'Display Description'. That will show you a "where used" list of queries, workbooks, etc.
Next, you can use the previous technique to open one of the queries, find the variable in the query, and determine which InfoObject it is associated with.
Hope this helps!
