Datetime parameter from stored procedure

I have a report written in CR10 which uses a stored procedure as the datasource. The stored procedure has 3 input parameters, two of which are datetime data types. When the crystal report is run, it prompts the user for the 3 parameters & runs just fine except...For the date parameters, it prompts the user to enter a time as well. In previous versions of Crystal, parameters that were datetime data types in the stored procedure were just prompted for the date when the calling crystal report was run.I attempted to edit the parameters in the report, but the "Value Type" is grayed out (I assume since the parameter is associated with the stored procedure, rather than being a user defined parameter within the report). These date parameters are used in a BETWEEN statement in the stored proc, so if the user just enters a date but accepts the default time, the returned data gets flakey due to the addition of the time value passed by the parameter. I tried setting a default value for the time, but I have to enter a date along with the time, which the report then uses as the default. The user then has to uncheck the "Pick from defaults" checkbox in order to enter their own date. This is really unwieldly for the end user, especially when they were previously able to just enter a date and not have to be concerned with a time at all.Does anyone have suggestions on working around this issue? Thanks in advance...

You mention that you are using CRW version 10 for this. What's the data source you are reporting against (you mention a stored procedure - but are you running against Oracle, SQL Server, DB2?). Are you connecting natively or using ODBC?

Triggers accepting parametes from stored procedures

Can triggers accept parameters from stored procedures like some filename or column name of a table and pass them to external c procedures.If so I would greatly appreciate if any one could provide me with an example.
P.S The trigger is on a view and the view which in turn should be created in the stored procedure.

Cannot get OUT parameter from stored procedure

Hi,
I am new to stored procedure programming. I wrote a simple java stored procedure as follows:
package fvt;
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
public class FVTProcedures
extends COM.ibm.db2.app.StoredProc {
public void addRecord(int id, String name, int status)
throws SQLException {
java.sql.Statement stmt = null;
java.sql.Connection con = null;
PrintWriter pw = null;
try {
status =3;
pw = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("c:/temp/fvtproc.txt"));
pw.println("starting...");
// get connection
con =getConnection();
pw.println("Got connection");
stmt = con.createStatement();
stmt.execute("INSERT INTO cmtest (id, name) values (" + id + ",'"+name+"')");
pw.println("Inserted the record");
if (!con.getAutoCommit()) {
con.commit();
pw.println("Committed the connection");
catch (SQLException sqle) {
pw.println(sqle.getMessage());
catch (Exception e) {
pw.println(e.getMessage());
finally {
status =2;
pw.close();
try {
if (stmt != null) {
stmt.close();
catch (SQLException sqle) {}
try {
if (con != null) {
con.close();
catch (SQLException sqle) {}
Then I use the following sql command to create this stored procedure, especially register status as OUT parameter.
CREATE PROCEDURE addRecord (IN id INT, IN name VARCHAR(20), OUT status INTEGER)
FENCED LANGUAGE JAVA EXTERNAL NAME 'fvt.FVTProcedures!addRecord' PARAMETER
STYLE DB2GENERAL
My java program calling this stored proc is as follows:
import java.sql.*;
import javax.sql.*;
public class CallableStmtTest {
     COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.DB2ConnectionPoolDataSource ds = null;
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          CallableStmtTest dt = new CallableStmtTest();
          try {
               dt.test();
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace(System.out);
     public CallableStmtTest() {
          ds = new COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.DB2ConnectionPoolDataSource();
          ds.setUser("username");
          ds.setPassword("password");
          ds.setDatabaseName("database");
public void test() {
java.sql.Connection conn = null;
CallableStatement cs = null;
String sql = "CALL ADDRECORD(?, ?, ?)" ;
try {
conn = ds.getPooledConnection().getConnection();
conn.setAutoCommit(false);
System.out.println("Got the connection");
cs = conn.prepareCall( sql ) ; /* con is the connection */
System.out.println("Callable statement is prepared");
cs.registerOutParameter(3, java.sql.Types.INTEGER);
cs.setInt(1, 1001 );
cs.setString(2, "1001");
cs.execute() ;
System.out.println("Callable statement is executed, return status: "+cs.getInt(3));
conn.commit();
catch(SQLException sqle) {
sqle.printStackTrace();
finally {
try {
if (cs!=null) {cs.close();}
catch (SQLException sqle1) {
try {
if (conn!=null) {conn.close();}
catch (SQLException sqle1) {
However, the out put is always
Callable statement is executed, return status: 0
while i expect to be
Callable statement is executed, return status: 2
Can anyone tell me what's wrong with that?
thansk,
JST

public void addRecord(int id, String name, int status)
throws SQLException {
status =3;In regular java you are never going to see this value (3) outside of that method. Java doesn't work that way.
So unless java inside the DB works really differently from regular java, you are going to have to pass something else.

Pass a date parameter to Stored Procedure

Hello friends,
Can you help to pass a date parameter to Stored procedure from JSP. This is my code:
In Oracle 9i I have this:
PROCEDURE SP_EDORES(
pfechaini IN hist_pol_reclama.hrc_fecha_contabilidad%Type, <-- This is a date field
pfechafin IN hist_pol_reclama.hrc_fecha_contabilidad%Type, <-- This is a date field
p_recordset OUT PKG_REP_CIERRE.cursor_type) AS
In JSP have this:
CallableStatement stmt = (CallableStatement)conn.prepareCall( "begin PKG_REP_CIERRE.SP_EDORES(?,?,?); end;" );
stmt.registerOutParameter(3,oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleTypes.CURSOR);
stmt.setDate(1,Date.valueOf("01-06-2005"));
stmt.setDate(2,Date.valueOf("30-06-2005"));
ResultSet rset = (ResultSet)stmt.getObject(3);
while (rset.next()) {
%>
<TR>
<TD ALIGN=CENTER> <%= rset.getString(1) %> </TD>
<TD ALIGN=CENTER> <%= rset.getString(2) %> </TD>
<TD ALIGN=CENTER> <%= rset.getString(3) %> </TD>
<TD ALIGN=CENTER> <%= rset.getInt(4) %> </TD>
</TR>
<%
The Stored Procedure returns de Result set, however I think does not recognized the date format because I need it with this format dd-mm-yyyy.
Thanks in advance

to use Date you will need the oracle package.
u can try this other solution: use String, not Date
CallableStatement stmt = (CallableStatement)conn.prepareCall( "begin PKG_REP_CIERRE.SP_EDORES(?,?,?); end;" );
stmt.registerOutParameter(3,oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleTypes.CURSOR);
stmt.setString(1,"01-06-2005");
stmt.setString(2,"30-06-2005");
ResultSet rset = (ResultSet)stmt.getObject(3);
while (rset.next()) {
%>
if this don't work you can change your PL/SQL to get Strings and do the conversion with TO_DATE in the sql statement.

How do I pass the exact datetime parameter in a procedure.

How do I pass the exact datetime parameter in a procedure.
Hi All,
I have a datetime problem which is driving me crazy.
I need pass a datetime field as a parameter in an oracle procedure exactly as below with timestamp.
Example: '6/01/2005 5:25:24 AM'
SQL > exec myprod(‘value1’,’value2’,’value3’, to_date('6/01/2005 5:25:24 AM','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss'));
I get an error “INVALID MONTH”
Next Changed to_date to to_char
SQL > exec myprod(‘value1’,’value2’,’value3’, to_char('6/01/2005 5:25:24 AM','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss'));
I get a different error, “INVALID NUMBER”
Next pass the datetime as it is.
SQL > exec myprod(‘value1’,’value2’,’value3’, '6/01/2005 5:25:24 AM');
I get an error “INVALID MONTH”
Here is the my procedure.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE myprod (
p_value1 varchar2,
p_value2 varchar2,
p_value3 varchar2 ,
p_value4 date )
IS
filehandler UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
va_currentdate DATE;
BEGIN
SELECT sysdate
     INTO va_currentdate
FROM dual;
END;
Do you know any solutions for this problem.
Thanks

Passing parameter into stored procedure

Hi guys,
I have a big problem here passing as a parameter in stored
procedure.
If i pass as a parameter in where clause it is working fine.
Whenever i pass the parameter in order by it was not working..
How to implement this issue????
Here i am giving the example for package:
PACKAGE XTRA.TEST_STATUS
AS
TYPE GenericCurTyp IS REF CURSOR;
PROCEDURE SP_MAIN
( insortgroup IN VARCHAR2,GENERAL_CUR IN OUT GenericCurTyp);
END TEST_STATUS;
PACKAGE BODY XTRA.TEST_STATUS
AS
PROCEDURE SP_MAIN
( insortgroup IN VARCHAR2, GENERAL_CUR IN OUT GenericCurTyp
) AS
BEGIN
OPEN GENERAL_CUR FOR
select last_name,first_name from applicant Order By insortgroup;
END SP_MAIN;
END TEST_STATUS;
Passing as a parameter i am getting the below details.
LAST_NAME FIRST_NAME
ASFSDAF DASDFASF
Ad DASD
Adams John
DANA WITEST
If i hot code the parameter insortgroup to last_name
i am getting the below values:
LAST_NAME FIRST_NAME

Length of "out char" parameter in stored procedure

I call a SP with an output char parameter, the type is defined as a field in a table -- char(3),
but when calling from stored procedure, it throws an exception:
"ORA-01406: fetched column value was truncated"
the exception happens in line 4:
1. stmt->setSQL("call OUTPUT_CHAR1(:1)");
2. stmt->registerOutParam(1, OCCISTRING, 10);
3. stmt->execute();
4. string result = stmt->getString(1);
One interesting thing is: if I use the same type as function return value(not output parameter), it works.
Friends, please give me some idea..

Just before commending about anyone it is good idea to go through Oracle Documentation .
Go through the following link
http://www.orafaq.com/faq/what_is_the_difference_between_varchar_varchar2_and_char_data_types
and
http://ora-01406.ora-code.com/ also
Basic difference is CHAR is fixed length and VARCHAR2 variable length which takes more buffer than a fixed length since the length is also stored.
Your error 'ORA-01406' is a common one in any place holder which does not have space to hold enough data. Thats why I told you to change to Varchar2 which is common fix in this case where exact data is not send to client unlike CHAR.
It is good that you are rude to me , so that I learned a lesson not help others much.
If you think the above explanation is also wrong , there are other experts in this forum , they will comment and not you alone

Return a parameter through stored procedures

Hello Experts
I want to return parameter through stored procedures so as to ensure that the application has been executed properly.
My source message format is
<StatementName5>
<storedProcedureName action=u201D EXECUTEu201D>
<table>Summarize_prc</table>
<empid [isInput=u201Dtrueu201D] [isOutput=true] type=SQLDatatype>val1</empid>
</storedProcedureName >
</StatementName5>
Do i need to put some extra parameters for return values from the stored procedures?
What would be the response message format to return the parameters from stored procedure.
Thanks
Sabyasachi

Hi,
If you wants to read the return values from stored procedure, the scanario should be designed as Sync.
The format looks like thsi
<Message Type Name>
 <STATEMENTNAME_response>
 <Field1> </Field1>
 </STATEMENTNAME_response>
</Message Type Name>

Parse parameter of Stored Procedure

Hi,I have a date(P_INDATE) parameter in the report which is included as a part of IN parameter from Stored Proc, Now in the report can I parse that parameter with any other String parameter? For eg: (if isnull({?P_INDATE}) then Datetime({?RPT_DATE}) = {?P_INDATE})The root cause of the above turnaround is: I am unable to pass date datatype from java code to schedule report...Any suggestions?

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the Java Development - Crystal Reports Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly

URGENT : Return Bulk data from Stored Procedure

Hi,
Tell me, how do I return a bulk of data which
does not exist in the data base
but is concluded while the Stored Procedure is executed
from the Stored procedure
to the C++ program.
For Example:
Table ABC
Field1 Field2 Field3
A 1 3
B 1 5
C 2 10
Table DEF
Field1 Field2 Field3
D 10 24
E 3 16
F 8 19
SP_TESTING
Depending on the values in both the tables
for some range of conditions,
a conclusion X is derived for each range value of the
condition range.
Now I need to return this bulk of data X with the
condition they belong to
back to the C++ code calling it....
NOTE : A stored procedure is requited as there is a lot
of processing
required before we conclude the result X for each value
in the condition range.
If I execute this code from C++ instead of Stored
procedure
it is very slow and speed is a prime requirement of my
system.
Also i'm not using any MFC class to access database.
I'm using ConnectionPtr, RecordsetPtr and _CommandPtr
from msado15.dll for database access...
One solution to this could be use of Temp tables.
As this process is used by a lot of different stored
procedures having a common
temp table to all will need something like 50 NUMERIC
fields, 50 VARCHAR fields
and so on, which doesn't seem like a very good solution
to this problem.
Sounds like something I would have done while in school,
implement a dumb solution.
So, please suggest me a solution as to how do I return
bulk data in the form
of recordsets from stored procedure.
Regards
Shruti

Ora-06550 returning data from Stored Procedure and Entity Data Model

Hi.
I'm creating an application that uses a WCF Service to return data. I also created a proyect with the EDMX design and mapped most of my DBModel to a classes context. I have added some of the procedures as well. One of them receive some parameters and return a Sys_RefCursor, that is populated according to the parameters.
I have declared the "<add >" tags in the Web.Config and imported the function of the Procedure. When I call the Asyncronous function I get different exceptions:
1. If I call the function, with all of the parameters i get:
Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException: ORA-06550: línea 1, columna 8:
PLS-00306: número o tipos de argumentos erróneos al llamar a
'SP_HECHOSJURITER'
ORA-06550: línea 1, columna 8:
(wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'SP_HECHOSJURITER')
2. If i just set 1 parameter in the SP, returning the same type of data, I get:
Error al recibir la respuesta HTTP a
http://localhost/Procalculo.CGFM.SIGOC.DatosServices/ServiceDatos.svc.
(failed to receive http response. error 12152)
3. If I don't set any parameters in the procedure, it works fine, and return correct data.
It exclusively happen with one entity.
Any clue?
I appreciate any help.

When you return result sets from stored procedures to Entity Framework, you are very likely using implicit result sets. Implicit result sets don't need to be declared as a parameter in code, only in the <add> tags to define the metadata in the .NET config file.
For example, in the EF Oracle By Example, you'll see that the stored procedure in the function import has three parameters, but only two are declared in the code. The third one was defined in the config file.

REF CURSOR as IN parameter to stored procedure

Currently, ODP.NET supports REF CURSOR parameter as OUT parameter only.
Based on the project requirements it is necessary to pass
multiple records to the stored procedure.
In this case REF CURSOR as IN parameter is useful.
What are the plans to implement REF CURSOR as IN parameter to stored procedure?
What is the work around in case it is necessary to pass several different
record types as arrays to stored procedure?

ODP.NET does not limit REF Cursor parameters to IN parameters. This is a known PL/SQL limitation.
An excerpt from Application Developer's Guide:
"If you pass a host cursor variable to PL/SQL, you cannot fetch from it on the server side unless you also open it there on the same server call".

How to generate a report from stored procedure

I would like to generate a report from stored procedure.
I used to work on sql server. this can be done as easy as put a select statement at the end of stored procedure.
The resule can be displayed on the development IDE, like sql developer or consume by Java JDBC client.
is there equivalent way to do this in Oracle stored procedure?

Hi,
What type of report you are looking..for.. ??
As you said that "I used to work on sql server. this can be done as easy as put a select statement at the end of stored procedure. "
When you execute it will return the result set and you will display directly on the FrontEnd.. Is my Understanding is correct Up to here.
See, In oracle you have call some custom stored procedures as you did in SQL Sever, but you have return the Results Sets, with help of Out put paramter, Either Cursors or Varrays..
or Else you can generate the Html reports based on your requirement, HTML can be used in the stored procedures of Oracle which will generate for your, you need to code it.
I could not able get the relevant link for your reference.
I will get back to you on this.

How to get RECORD data in output parameter of stored procedure

I would like to return some data through RECORD structure from stored procedure.
I have defined the RECORD as below:
type ShipmentStatus is record(
Booked integer,
OnWater integer,
OnRoad integer,
InAir integer,
OnRail integer,
InWarehouse integer,
Idle integer);
the stored procedure is defined as
create or replace procedure SP_MC_GET_SHIPMENT_STATUS
iCustId in nvarchar2,
oResult out ShipmentStatus
I can get result in Sql*plus or PL/SQL developer, but I failed in get the result in Toplink.
How can I get the output result, and convert it to an ENTITY by Toplink?
Could you give me some advices on how to do mapping, how to call the stored procedure etc.., or code snip?
Your answer is deeply appreciated. :)

I'm not sure it is possible to get the PL/SQL record type through JDBC. Please try to access this procedure through JDBC to see if it is possible.
You may need to convert the record type, to an object-type, i.e. wrap the procedure in another procedure that converts the record type. You could also just wrap the procedure in another that expands the record values into individual output parameters.
