CSV string to list of number for IN() statement

Here is the problematic part of my function:
<blockquote>cr.client_id in (to_number(:ClientId)</blockquote>
I want my SQL*Plus function to handle a list of ClientIds supplied by the user, but if I enter "20006336, 27340036" I get the following error:
<blockquote>ORA-01722: invalid number
01722. 00000 - "invalid number"</blockquote>
Seems like there should be an easy solution to conversting a string to a list of numbers...
Running 10g. Also, the function works with &ClientId but I would prefer to keep it as a bind variable if possible (large query)
Thanks for the help!

Using apex item for list of number for 'IN' clause

Greetings,
I have a computation that looks like this:
select count(mr.mr_id)
from ds_moriver mr
where mr.approved = 0 OR mr.approved IS NULL
and mr.mr_id NOT IN (:P62_MRID)
I am looking to enter numbers in the NOT IN clause like '123,234,...'
I have a text field item (P62_MRID) where the user can enter IDs for the NOT IN clause. So for example, 13578,182. If the user enters one number it works fine. If the user enters 2 numbers with a comma (13578,182) then I get this error when the computation is run:
ORA-01722: invalid number
So substituting 13578,182 for P62_MRID the SQL statement should compute as:
select count(mr.mr_id)
from ds_moriver mr
where mr.approved = 0 OR mr.approved IS NULL
and mr.mr_id NOT IN (13578,182)
Why am I getting the error, 'ORA-01722: invalid number'?
Thanks in advance!
John

Glad to help. Don't know how long you've been using APEX, but thought I'd caution you against "going wild" with the item substitution syntax. In general, if you can do it with bind variable syntax, that's better. The use of item substitution syntax can contribute to SQL injection attacks. But, if you have suitable control over the contents of the items being substituted, the risk is mitigated. Just don't create an APEX process like this:
begin
&P10_TEXT_DIRECTLY_FROM_USER.
end;
That'll get you into trouble.

HT4865 How can I change the incorrectly listed cellular number for SMS code

I listed my iPad cellular number incorrectly to receive an SMS code which musted be listed to progress further. So I cannot retreive the four digit number
which was sent to the incorrect number. How can I change it to the correct cellular number?

From http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4644:
Devices using iOS 7.0.3 or later: Tap Settings > iCloud > Account, then tap Keychain. Check that the phone number listed under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
Macs using OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later: Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Check that the phone number listed under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.

Can't get a telephone number for the State Of Main...

Maine isn't on the list to start the telephone number process, does anyone know why

Stored Procedure with CSV string as parameters

Hi,
I have been tasked with this issue, but I have no real SQL/Oracle experience. My boss advises that the best way to do this would be to pass a CSV string into the stored proc for each parameter,
What I need to do is parse the CSV string and use each value within their as part of the where clause so. If I have two parameter CSV strings A and B. My outcome would be something like:
select * from table where col1 = A1 or A2 or A3 and col2 = B1 or B2 or B3.
The number of values within each CSV string are unknown until they are passed into the stored proc. How would I best go about this?
Thanks,
Darren.

You can use a comma separated string of values in the where clause of the query this way:

String Field rendering as Number Field in CR Basic for VS2008

I recently migrated from CR for VS2005 to CR Basic for VS2008 and am creating my first report using CR 2008. The SQL result set returns rows containing strings (nvarchar), integers and decimal (7,2) fields.
The report is getting all rows in the result set, but the string fields as defined in the SQL are 1) rendering in the report as numbers, and 2) showing as empty. The non-string fields render fine. I tried reformatting the report field to string, but only the Number tab appears in the formatting dialog. I also tried converting the SQL field result into an unbound string field, as well as tried the ToText function, but the results were the same. I suspect the field appears empty because of the formatting issue.
How can I get CR Basic for VS2008 to render a string (nvarchar) field as a string?

Try placing the field inside a formula field or inside a text field. That should cause the field to be shown no matter what type of data it is. If the data is still not showing, then perhaps it is not being returned properly.
Things to check:
-Are you connecting directly to the tables - or are you connecting to a stored procedure? If you are connecting to a stored procedure and you are using Temp Tables, then make sure you add the line "SETNOCOUNT ON" to your stored proc.
-Run SQL profiler - see what query is being made, then try running that exact same query through the SQL admin console (Or some other utility that lets you run SQL queries)
Thanks

Hi,
Sorry, we do not support a matrix-question field. Please try the multilines text field (where your participant can enter multiple lines in the input text box) and see if it works for you.

External number for Task list group

Dear experts,
I want to give external number(actually name) to all the groups for equipment task lists.In SPRO , number ranges for task lists, I have created one external along with internal number range. But as soon as I want to create the equipment task list, the " group" picked its value from internal range.
Is there any setting to do , so that I can get external number for the group for equip. task list.

Hello Rajesh,
It is not possible to have external numbering for equipment or functional location task lists. Only possible for general task lists.

Change starting number for Numbered List.

I am breaking up a list into 4 columns and I want them numbered. When you use the Numbered List it automatically starts at 1. I want it to start with the number I left off with in the text box next to it. How do you change the starting number for a Numbered List?

Ok, this is how you do it (just figured it out myself!)
If you click in the text box and do command A to select all, it will select all of the text BUT not the numbers. If you want to change the size of the numbers, you have to click on the number in the text box (the entire line will highlight) and use command-+ and command-minus to increase/decrease the size (or choose from the character palette. This WILL change the size of everything in the text box, but then you can go back to a simple command-a to change the text to the size you want.

Thanks for your reply. Won't there be any loss of data if I consider only first 8 bytes? Will Integrity be maintained.?
In some cases my Strings can be unusually long - having length of 400 to 500.

Generate spool req number for report output list

Hi,
How to generate spool request number for report output list while executing the report.Please provide if you have any sample code.
Thanks and Regards,
BSR.

HI srinivas,
welcome to sdn.
Exporting the Contents of a Spool Request
Use
You want to export the content of a spool request in one of the following ways:
·        As a text file to the SAP GUI working directory
·        Unconverted or as a table, RTF, or HTML to a directory of your choice
·        As a PDF file to a directory of your choice
Procedure
Follow the procedure below:
Exporting to the SAP GUI Working Directory
If you are exporting large quantities of data, downloading the spool request as a text file to the SAP GUI working directory is a good solution.
Choose Spool Request ® Forward® Export as Text.
The entire text is stored in your SAP GUI working directory in ASCII format.
A file of this type is named using the following pattern:
.txt
Example: ABC0000004327.txt
You require appropriate authorization for this function from your administrator.
Exporting Unconverted or as a table, RTF, or HTML to a Directory of Your Choice
With this method of exporting a spool request, the content of the spool request is first displayed, and you then download the content in the format of your choice to a directory of your choice.
       1.      Select the spool request to be exported and choose Display Contents.
       2.      In the case of SAPscript/Smart Forms documents, activate list display by choosing Goto.
       3.      Choose System ® List ® Save ® Local File.
       4.      Choose one of the available formats and confirm your choice.
       5.      Choose a directory and save the spool request.
By default, only the first 10 pages of a spool request are saved in a file. You can increase the number of pages to be saved by choosing Goto ® Display Requests ® Settings and making the desired entries in the Display Area group box.
Exporting as a PDF File
You want to export the contents of a spool request as a PDF file to a directory of your choice, and print the file as required. The PDF file contains the print data in the format in which it would be output by the printer.
The following procedure is irrelevant for the printing of PDF-based forms, since a PDF file is already returned with this method. See also Displaying and Printing PDF-Based Forms.
You also require authorization from your administrator to run this report.
The PDF file is generated as follows with report RSTXPDFT4:
       1.      Generate a spool request from the document to be printed.
       2.      In transaction SE38, start report rstxpdft4.
       3.      In the displayed window, enter the spool request number and the directory in which the PDF file is to be stored.
Leave the Download PDF File option selected.
Choose Execute.
       4.      In the next window, you can confirm or change the path in which the file is be stored.
Save your entries.
       5.      The system displays a log from which you can see whether the report was successfully performed.
You can then open the file from the directory and print it as required.
Restrictions for Exporting as a PDF File
·        The PDF conversion only supports true bar codes for Smart Forms, which were generated with the new bar code technology as of SAP NetWeaver 04. In all other cases, the bar code is only simulated.
·        PDF conversion, especially of ABAP lists, is slower and is therefore not suitable for mass printing. However, you can speed up the conversion to PDF using the FASTLISTCONV option in report RSTXPDF3.
·        The font selection for ABAP lists is predefined in the PDF converter and cannot be changed.
For more information about constraints, see SAP Note 323736 in the SAP Service Marketplace
