Data type of the value in a string

is it possible to determine what is the data type of the value of my string? for example if the user enters an integer, how do i know its an integer?

if what the user entered is either 1 character,more than
1 characters(a string), a whole number with no
decimail places(an int) or a number with decimal
places(a double).Those aren't mutually exclusive possibilities. If the user enters12345is that supposed to be a string with 5 characters or a whole number?
how do i do that before i actually
come to the Integer.parseInt or double.parsedouble
statement?You don't. You use those statements to determine whether the string input can be interpreted as an integer or as a double.

What is the data type of the value returned by the List box prompt in crystal

Post Author: Mudit Kothiyal
CA Forum: Formula
Hi all,
I am creating a report which has a list box prompt. When I am selecting a single value from the list box the report is working fine, but when I am selecting multiple values its not returning any data( although data is there). Does anyone know how the prompt values are passed to the report query by the crystal. I kno it passes the value to the report as an array. But how does it pass the value to the report query.
I am using command query to fetch data from the DB.
Crystal Report Version: Crystal Report XI R2.
DB: Oracle 10g
Also does anyone know how to pass the values of the list box prompt to the report query in comma seperated format.
Thanks & regards,
Mudit

In regards to the latter part of your question
The following examples are applicable to Basic and Crystal syntax.
The examples assume that list is a String array consisting of the 3 elements: "Chocolate", "Vanilla" and "Strawberry".
Join (list)
Returns the String "Chocolate Vanilla Strawberry".
Join (list, "***")
Returns the String "Chocolate**Vanilla**Strawberry".
Not sure about the first part of your question,sorry.

How to find out the type of the value stored in a string variable?

Hi,
How do i find out the type of the value stored in a string variable?
for example,
I have a string variable str, in which the following type of values wil be stored
1) Intger
2) Long
3) boolean
4) Char
Is there any method to find out the type of the value, anything like str.getType()?. Please kindly help me. Thanks in advance.

Hi All, i'm sorry for the double posting, by mistake it occured.
Thanks for your replies, i have a string variable str, in which the value is stored and i have another string variable type, in which the type of the value is stored.
For example,
String str = "15";
String type = "Integer";
Is there any way to verify whether the value stroed in str is of type stored in the variable 'type'. I want to write a method of type boolean, it will throw true of the value stored in str is of type 'type'. Thanks

Data type of the base attribute or the base value does not match...

...the assigned expression.
Hello all,
I always get the Error
+<ERROR+
TEXT="'DWH.CUB_REGISTRATIONS_AW.REGISTRATIONS': XOQ-02517: Der Datentyp des Basisattributs oder der Basisgröße stimmt nicht mit dem zugeordneten Ausdruck überein.
XOQ-01400: Ungültige Metadatenobjekte"/>
The English message must be something like this:
The data type of the base attribute or the base value does not match the assigned expression.
when I run my mapping. The attribute REGISTRATIONS is NUMERIC (12,2) in the Cube and I map a NUMERIC(12,2) constant in it.
I use a simple OWB-Mapping for loading, but I don't understand why it doesn't function. Other mappings where the attributes are out of a
table I put in a cube are running well.
I tried different things, but nothing fixed my problem. Any idea ?
Thanks a lot for help

Technically this is a 'warning' from the server, not an 'error'. This means that the change you made should have been submitted, but you get an warning message on the client. AWM would suppress this warning, but evidently OWB does not. Can you switch to use AWM?
Here is the definition of the warning along with 'cause' and 'action' sections. (Unfortunately these sections are not translated into German for some reason.)
>
02517, 0, "The data type \"%(1)s\" of the base attribute or base measure is different from the mapped expression \"%(2)s\"."
// *Cause: Either the base attribute or base measure with the mapped expression was set to an inconsistent data type, or it was mapped to an expression of a different data type from its fixed data type.
// *Action: When changing a mapped expression for a base attribute or base measure, ensure that the expression has the same data type; otherwise, set the data type of the base attribute or base measure to NULL first. When a base attribute or a base measure has an existing mapped expression, do not set it to a different data type.
>
It is probably safe to ignore this warning, but if you can post the relevant XML for the cube, then will probably be able to spot the problem. I assume that REGISTRATIONS is a measure in the cube CUB_REGISTRATIONS_AW, so this is what you can look for in the XML:
(1) The definition of the base measure along with the datatype. It should be something like this
<Measure>
<BaseMeasure
    SQLDataType="NUMBER(12,2)"
    ETMeasureColumnName="REGISTRATIONS"
    Name="REGISTRATIONS">(2) The mapping info for the measure, which should looks something like this:
<MeasureMap
Name="REGISTRATIONS"
Expression="...">
<Measure Name="REGISTRATIONS"/>
</MeasureMap>I don't know if you can get the XML directly from OWB. If not, then DBMS_CUBE.EXPORT_XML should work (assuming you are in 11.2). You could also attach AWM and save the cube to an XML template.

Displaying Date types in the grid control

I have a grid control and one of the column is displaying
'Date' type data. I am able to see the Date values in the grid, if
I define the return type of the getter function as String format.
But the problem with this is, when I click on the Date column
header, the grid is sorting the rows while treating the Date values
as String values. And when I change the return type of the getter
method as Date type (java.util.Date), I don't see any Date values
in the grid. Do I need to do any additional coding to display the
date values as Date types to display the data and then to be able
to sort the grid on Date types.
Please help.

You should return Date values to the Flex application and
store them in the dataProvider associated with that DataGrid. For
Date-values you have a couple of choices:
1. Actually store the time (a long Number - milliseconds
since Jan 1970) and use a labelFunction on the column to format
that values as a Date. This way sorting will treat the value as a
number, but it will appear as a Date.
2. Write your own Sort compare method for that column. Check
the docs on Sort and SortField.

The type of the value being assigned to variable ... differs from the current variable type

I am trying to load a variable on SSIS Execute SQL Task with a string value. I keep on getting an error message :-
“The type of the value being assigned to variable “User::LegacyColumns” differs from the current variable type”.
Below are the settings on my package:
Execute SQL Task Result Set –
Single Row
Variable Data Type –
String
The data to be loaded on the variable is a single row shown below:
FirstName,LastName,MiddleName,PatientType,Title
Can someone kindly help me to solve this as I’m lost for ideas.

Thank you Sorna. I think I have managed to solve it. After a long search I have found a solution which advises that I should use a Foreach Loop Container. The help is on this link:

Invalid text value. A text field contains invalid data. Check the value and try again

Hello,
I am having a problem with the error mentioned in the title. I see alot of others have experienced the same problem, but I have quite a twist to it.
I see the problem when I try to edit a list item, and then try to save the changes.
Here what I see in the ULS log:

I have 3 front end servers(fx wfe1, wfe2, wfe3). And here is the twist.
If I access the library directly through wfe1 and wfe2, I get the error. If I access the library via wfe3 if works just fine.
So because of this, I think it is safe to assume that is has nothing to do with the character limit of 255. Nor does it have anything to do with the field type, since it is already set to mulitible lines of text.
So. Any ideas?

To solve the problem you may have to change the field's parent type to "note". To do that you have to open your fldtypes... file under Templates/xml and change the line to:
"<Field Name="ParentType">Note</Field>" from "<Field Name="ParentType">Text</Field>"
You might also have to add a sql type if your text needs to be longer than 255 characters
<Field Name=”SQLType”>ntext</Field>

Using Long Data type in the Page

Hi ,
I have a page (in multiple page creation form ) which is suppose to contain only the NOTES field of the entity being created . The Notes field is defined as LONG data type in the table.
Two Doubts.
1. As of now in Jdev , u only have Varchar2 data type when assigning to any messageText layout item. What should be the max value set for Max Lenght of this field on the form . I suppose its 32k+ ,since its Long Field .
Anybody has used Long notes field before ??
2. This page has only one item on it , ie Notes ,which i have defined as messageRichText as style. I have been trying to resize this item ,so that it stretches out on entire page . But it just doesnt resizes .. any idea ..below is my PG.xml code

If you have used this widget before , could you assist me with any sample code u hv ??
I would really appreciate it

In the attached VI why does one loop coerce the data type while the other doesn't?

In the attached VI why does one loop coerce the data type while the other doesn't?
Solved!

I'm guessing you created the Enum on the front panel. If you right-click it and create an indicator, it will match the type, and be an enum. LabVIEW represents enums as U16, but because the types aren't identical (for example, your enum has 3 values, but a U16 has 65,536 values), LabVIEW automatically coerces (or converts) the smaller (enum) representation into the larger (U16) value.

The data type of the variant is not compatible with the data type wired to the type input.

Hello all..
Iam curently struggling with the following:
On my main(top)_VI, I have a mix-signal graph which will output several or one signals depending on the user. I also have an inner subvi which has the analisys i want to give the the data before outputing it to the main(top) VI, which has the mix-signal graph control.
Now, I created a reference from the mix-signal graph and Iam imputing this reference into the subVI (which inside has a property node type_control_mix-signal graph in which Iam connecting the refnum from the top VI to view the output data). The data consists of an array of clusters of 2 arrays of doubles each.
-- let say I create the property node type control mix-signal graph and i choose value property; it lets me put the array of clusters of 2 arrays of doubles each without problems; Now the second I connect the refnum pointing to the mix-signal graph on the Main_VI it brakes the cables and only accepts one cluster of two arrays os doubles instead.
--if on the other hand I connect the refnum to the property node type_control_mix-signal graph before connecting the imput it doesnt complain until I run the VI where it gives the error 91.
I have also notices a (strict) parenthisis at the end of the property node sometimes. [what does this (strict) means?]
FInally if instead of creating the refnum from the Main_VI, I create either a xy graph or a mix-signal praph it lets me connect the an array of clusters of 2 arrays of doubles each without any problem. The refnum connection seems to be the problematic factor, but by the same tolken I dont know any other means of sending that data from the inner to the outter VI.
I have the feeling Iam missing on one or more Labview fundamentals regarding refnums.
Any help will be apreciated

You almost found it on your own. The refnum needs to be 'strict', that means that the data type of the graph is set (2D dbl), otherwise it will use the default data type. To do this you create the refnum directly from the graph after you have wired the correct data type to the terminal. In this case the refnum wire will break if you change the data type of the graph.
Independend of this issue, I suggest you not to use the value property on the graph but directly wire the data (e.g. the 2D double) to the SubVI. The property value is by far the slowest way to get data, and 2D arrays are really some amount of data.

'DATE' type in SQL converting to a 'STRING' in CR2008.

Help!
We have just installed the stand-alone version of CR2008 and running against a SQL db back end. The newest version of SQL consists of a data type, 'DATE' that's being recognized in CR as a 'STRING' when the stored procedures are accessed. However, I am converting it back to a 'DATE' data type inside the report and everything looks fine in the CR viewer.
Our concern:
Could this be an issue when the .rpt files are called via an ASP page?
Thanks,
Tony

Hi Tony,
I just checked by adding a Date field type into my 2K8 server and you are correct if you use the Native SQL Server driver. CR does see it only as a string. By default and to handle new types that DB makers can add, CR will convert any type is doesn't recognize into a string.
However if you install SQL Server Client 10 driver and use it then you will see the Date field as a date type.
So, if you are using MS SQL Server 2008 then simply install the Client and then you can use the SP.
You can install it off the MS CD or use this link to their tools:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=C6C3E9EF-BA29-4A43-8D69-A2BED18FE73C&displaylang=en
Look for the Client install only, 32 or 64 bit.
Thank you

The type of the value (DBNull) being assigned to variable "User::AlereCoachingEnrolledID" differs from the current variable type (Int32)

END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT 0 AS [AlereCoachingEnrolledID]
END
I want to handle using a Sequence Container and an Expression and Constraint if I have rows to process and if I do not...thus the 0 portion of the SQL...
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

Hi ITBobbyP,
As per my understanding, you created Execute SQL Task with the query and created a variable of int32, then set ResultSet to Full result set. When you run the package, you got the error message.
I reproduced the issue in my local machine, since the query can return a result set, you set type of variable to int32, so the error occurred. A Full result set must map to a variable of the Object data type. The return result is a rowset object. We can
use a Foreach Loop container to extract the table row values that are stored in the Object variable into package variables, and then use a Script Task to write the data stored in packages variables to a file.
For more information, please refer to Populating a variable with a result set section in the document:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc280492.aspx
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Determining the data type of the list item

Hi experts,
i have a dpop down list item in my form and from it i want
to select some of the columns of emp table like mobile_number or address
and send the selected field,along with name and empno to reports.
But when i am trying to determine the data type of the selected
item i am faceing some difficulties.
i am trying this
param := emp.:emp.LIST10%type;
can you please help me.
Regards
rajat

param := emp.:emp.LIST10%type;I'm not quit sure what you are trying to achieve with this.
If have build a poplist as a block-item you know the datatype of that item. When you know want to create a local variable to take the value from that list, either define it just with the datatype taken from the item, or take it dynamically from the column from the database the item is based on, so
DECLARE
-- explicit
vcParam VARCHAR2(50);
-- takeing datatype from db-column
vcParam TABLENAME.COLUMNNAME%TYPE;
BEGIN
-- Assignment
vcParam:=:EMP.LIST10;
END;

Any idea what this errorr means? the data type of the reference does not match the data type of the variable

I am using Veristand 2014, Scan Engine and EtherCat Custom Device. I have not had this error before, but I was trying to deploy my System Definition File (run) to the Target (cRio 9024 with 6 modules) and it failed. It wouldn't even try to communicate with the target. I get the 'connection refused' error.
I created a new Veristand project
I added the Scan Engine and EtherCat custom device.
I changed the IP address and auto-detected my modules
i noticed tat Veristand didn't find one of my modules that was there earlier. (this week)
So, i went to NiMax to make sure software was installed and even reinstalled Scan Engine and Veristand just to make sure.
Now, it finds the module, but when i go to deploy it getsto the last step of deploying the code to the target, and then it fails.
Any thoughts?

Can you deploy if you only have the two 9401 modules in the chassis (no other modules) and in the sysdef? I meant to ask if you could attach your system definition file to the forum post so we can see it as well (sorry for the confusion).
Are you using any of the specialty configurations for the 9401 modules? (ex: counter, PWM, quadrature, etc)
You will probably want to post this on the support page for the Scan Engine/EtherCAT Custom Device: https://decibel.ni.com/content/thread/8671
Custom devices aren't officially supported by NI, so technical questions and issues are handled on the above page.

How to change the data type in the table ESLL for the field USERF2_NUM ?

Hello Friends,
I have a requirement in which one of the change is to convert the data type of the field 'USERF2_NUM' in the table 'ESLL' from 'QUAN' to 'CHAR'.
How do i do it if i have an access to change it..........i think i should also check the impact of the change if done.
Kindly tell me as my requirement starts with this small change.
Regards,
Rajesh Kumar

Thanks for the reply Sowmya.
I would like to know 2 things.
1. Is it ok to change the data type of the field 'USERF2_NUM ' which is in the table ESLL. from quan to char.
2. The table ESLL already has entries. if we change the data type from QUAN to CHAR what is the effect on the existing entries of the table .
Kindly reply me back.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajesh Kumar
