Dynamic SQL and 255 bytes per line limit

I would like to create a Dynamic SQL statement that is longer than 255 bytes. What do I need to do to embed a carriage return or something so that the resultant string is broken up into multiple lines?

Please ignore. This was a stupid question!

Dynamic SQL and Bulk Bind... Interesting Problem !!!

Hi Forum !!
I've got a very interesting problem involving Dynamic SQL and Bulk Bind. I really Hope you guys have some suggestions for me...
Table A contains a column named TX_FORMULA. There are many strings holding expressions like '.3 * 2 + 1.5' or '(3.4 + 2) / .3', all well formed numeric formulas. I want to calculate each formula, finding the number obtained as a result of each calculation.
I wrote something like this:
DECLARE
TYPE T_FormulasNum IS TABLE OF A.TX_FORMULA%TYPE
INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
TYPE T_MontoIndicador IS TABLE OF A.MT_NUMBER%TYPE
INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
V_FormulasNum T_FormulasNum;
V_MontoIndicador T_MontoIndicador;
BEGIN
SELECT DISTINCT CD_INDICADOR,
TX_FORMULA_NUMERICA
BULK COLLECT INTO V_CodIndicador, V_FormulasNum
FROM A;
FORALL i IN V_FormulasNum.FIRST..V_FormulasNum.LAST
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
'BEGIN
:1 := TO_NUMBER(:2);
END;'
USING V_FormulasNum(i) RETURNING INTO V_MontoIndicador;
END;
But I'm getting the following messages:
ORA-06550: line 22, column 43:
PLS-00597: expression 'V_MONTOINDICADOR' in the INTO list is of wrong type
ORA-06550: line 18, column 5:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
ORA-06550: line 18, column 5:
PLS-00435: DML statement without BULK In-BIND cannot be used inside FORALL
Any Idea to solve this problem ?
Thanks in Advance !!

Hallo,
many many errors...
1. You can use FORALL only in DML operators, in your case you must use simple FOR LOOP.
2. You can use bind variables only in DML- Statements. In other statements you have to use literals (hard parsing).
3. RETURNING INTO - Clause in appropriate , use instead of OUT variable.
4. Remark: FOR I IN FIRST..LAST is not fully correct: if you haven't results, you get EXCEPTION NO_DATA_FOUND. Use Instead of 1..tab.count
This code works.
DECLARE
TYPE T_FormulasNum IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(255)
INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
TYPE T_MontoIndicador IS TABLE OF NUMBER
INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
V_FormulasNum T_FormulasNum;
V_MontoIndicador T_MontoIndicador;
BEGIN
SELECT DISTINCT CD_INDICATOR,
TX_FORMULA_NUMERICA
BULK COLLECT INTO V_MontoIndicador, V_FormulasNum
FROM A;
FOR i IN 1..V_FormulasNum.count
LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
'BEGIN
:v_motto := TO_NUMBER('||v_formulasnum(i)||');
END;'
USING OUT V_MontoIndicador(i);
dbms_output.put_line(v_montoindicador(i));
END LOOP;
END;You have to read more about bulk- binding and dynamic sql.

Send an attachment in email with length more than 255 char per line

Hi All,
I have to send an attachment in email with length more than 255 char per line. I dont want to break the line after 255 char and add it in another line.
Please suggest me any function module which can perform this.
Thank you all.

I looked at all threads in the forum, there was about 5 or 6 identical questions, but surprise, nobody knows! It seems that SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 function module does not allow more than 255 characters by line.
It would surprise me a lot if there is no workaround !
As it is very easy to add any binary attachment which is like a very long line, PDF for example (several kilobytes), via the function module above (lots of examples in the forum), I would advise you to try to use the same way, i.e. use the contents_bin parameter instead of the contents_txt parameter (convert the text into binary) and add the line feeds yourself (okay I know, it's not very smart).
Last thing, this function module is deprecated, and we should use BCS classes, maybe they work better.

Dynamic SQL and Data with Single Quotes in it.

Hi There,
I have a problem in that I am using dynamic SQL and it happens that one of the columns does contain single quotes (') in it as part of the data. This causes the resultant dynamic SQL to get confused as the single quote that is part of the data is taken to mean end of sting, when in fact its part of the data. This leaves out a dangling single quote that was meant to enclose the string. Here is my dynamic SQL and the result of the parsed SQL that I have captured:
****Dynamic SQL*****
l_sql:='select NOTE_TEMPLATE_ID '||
'FROM TMP_NOTE_TEMPLATE_VALUES '||
'where TRIM(LEGACY_NOTE_CODE)='''||trim(fp_note_code)||''' '||
'and TRIM(DISPLAY_VALUE)='''||trim(fp_note_text)||''' ';
execute immediate l_sql INTO l_note_template_id;
Because the column DISPLAY_VALUE contains data with single quotes, the resultant SQL is:
******PARSED SQL************
select NOTE_TEMPLATE_ID
FROM TMP_NOTE_TEMPLATE_VALUES
where TRIM(LEGACY_NOTE_CODE)='INQ' and TRIM(DISPLAY_VALUE)='Cont'd'
And the problem lies with the single quote between teh characters t and d in the data field for DISPLAY_ITEM. How can I handle this?
Many thanks,

I have been reliably informed that if one doesn't enclose char/varchar2 data items in quotes, the right indices may not be usedI am into oracle for past 4 years and for the first time i am hearing this.
Your reliable source is just wrong. Bind variables are variables that store your value and which are used in SQL. They are the proper way to use values in your SQL. By default all variables in PL/SQL is bind variable.
When you can do some thing in just straight SQL just do it. Dynamic SQL does not make any sense to me here.
Thanks,
Karthick.

Dynamic SQL and Sub Query

I want need to use dynamic SQL, and include a subquery in the where clause. However, I am getting a syntax error.
I have code that looks like this.
    SELECT (p_v_sqlobj_select)
        INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE <matrix>
      FROM (p_v_sqlobj_from)
      WHERE (p_v_sqlobj_where).
and I pass it the following bold-faced SQL where clause (please ignore whether the statement makes sense and is the best way to do it - this is just to illustrate).   However, it returns an error.
select tcode from tstc where tcode in <b>( select min( tcode ) as min from tstc )</b>
Am I correct in concluding that I cannot pass complex statements, or have I just missed something?
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
Please try with order by clause in select statement and also use descending
      select * from (p_table)
               into corresponding fields of table <ptab>
              up to p_rows rows
              order by <fieldname> descending.

Dynamic SQL and IN CLAUSE from Pro C code

Hi Guys,
Tyring to embed sql in Pro C. Here I don't know in hand how many items will be there in the IN Clause of my dynamic sql. Tried this with a loop and then adding actual values to the stement and then executing it. This worked but as this hard coding makes it literal sql and hence hampers performance. Can any one help me with how to put bind variables where we don't know how many of them will be there in a dynamic sql.
Thanks,

Dynamic SQL supports user defined types, try passing a collection and using TABLE(CAST(collection)) in the SQL statement.
In the current approach (creating IN clause at runtime) keep in mind that in a IN clause you can put a maximum of 255 elements...

Dynamic SQL and PL/SQL

I have the following scenario:
User Scott has two tables named USERINFO and EMP with the following description:
desc USERINFO
schema varchar2(30)
desc EMP
ename varchar2(30)
empno number(4)
User Blake has one table named EMP which looks like:
desc EMP
ename varchar2(30)
I want to write a function which would copy the values from Scott's EMP table to Blake's EMP table but I want to get the user Blake's name from USERINFO's schema column. I figured I'd have to use dynamic SQL but am getting some errors when I execute the function. It compiles fine. Below is the code
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION CopyInfo()
RETURN VARCHAR2 AS
name VARCHAR22(30);
target_schema VARCHAR2(30);
ret_str CHAR := NULL;
BEGIN
SELECT schema INTO target_schema FROM version;
SELECT ename INTO name FROM scott.emp WHERE empno = 7902;
DECLARE
sqlStmt VARCHAR2(1028);
BEGIN
sqlStmt := 'INSERT INTO ' || target_schema || '.emp VALUES( name )';
execute SqlStmt ;
END;
ret_str := 't';
RETURN ret_str;
END CopyInfo
When I create the function, it comes back with -
Function created.
when I try to execute I get an error as shown below:
SQL>BEGIN
2 DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE( CopyInfo());
3 END;
4 /
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00984: column not allowed here

Any idea, how to fix this ??? Thanks a lot....

List-processing: limitations to 255 chars per line?

Hi,
check the sample code below and if possible, execute it in some of your systems:
start-of-code
REPORT ZISM_TEST52 LINE-SIZE 300.
DATA:
line(300) TYPE c.
WRITE '0123456789' TO line+250(10).
WRITE: / 'From variable', /.
WRITE line.
WRITE: / 'Directly to the list', /.
WRITE AT 251 '0123456789'.
end-of-code
As you can see from the execution, when writing something into the char variable (in this case line), and try to put it into your screen, there is a limitation - only the first 255 characters of the variable take place in the resulted list. But, if you write directly into the list, this limitation is missing.
My question is closely related to this limitation:
Is there a possibility to avoid this limitation while putting something into the variable, and after that writing it to the list?
Situation is: I have quite complex report to rewrite (with several lists, and complex header texts for each list), which uses this technique - write to internal table, after that loop at the table and use simple write statement. I would like to save my effort and time and to use a a possibility to write variables longer than 255 chars to the list - if there is any.
So? Is there such a possibility?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ivaylo Mutafchiev

HI Ivaylo
Below is from documenation:
Creates a report with col columns per line.
If the LINE-SIZE specification is missing, the line length corresponds to the current screen width. The system field SY-LINSZ contains the current line size for generating lists. The maximum width of a list is 1023 characters. You should keep lists to the minimum possible size to improve useability and performance (recommendation: LINE-SIZE < 132). For very wide lists (LINE-SIZE > 255), you should consult the notes for using LINE-SIZE
greater than 255.
Notes
The specified LINE-SIZE must not appear in quotation marks.
If the you want the report list (i.e. the output) to be printable, do not define a LINE-SIZE with a value greater than 132 because most printers cannot handle wider lists. <b>You cannot print lists wider than 255 characters at all using the standard print functions.</b> To print the contents of the lists, you need to write a special print routine that arranges the data in shorter lines (for example, using the PRINT ON addition in the NEW-PAGE statement.
At the beginning of a new list level, you can set a fixed line width for the level using the ... LINE SIZE addition to the NEW-PAGE statement.
Maybe the highlighted portion might be one reason for this behaviour.
Kind Regards

Dynamic sql and cursors

We are running an oracle sql procedure that uses a LOT of dynamic sql. We are using a 3rd party package (SQR) as a sort of shell to run the sql procedure. The 3rd party package passes to us an oracle error. This error says, in effect, that there are no inactive database cursors available and that the sql program is too large to process. We conclude from this that we must increase one or more of the cursor parameters in init.ora (v$parameters). Is this the correct assumption? If not, does anyone know what we can do? We'd prefer not to break up the sql procedure into smaller pieces.

increase the parameter for open cursors.
check, wether all cursors in your programs are closed in time, or if you are using ref cursors from front-ends (e.g. Java JDBC) that this front-ends close these ref cursors , too.
If you want to decrease the size of procedures get rid of comments, superfluos spaces, tabs, etc.
keep a commented version outside vor documentation purposes.
Hope thsi helps

Dynamic SQL and use of aggregate functions

Hello Forum members,
I'm trying to create dynamic SQL in a function module and return the MAX value of a field.
I am passing in a parameter called CREATE_FIELD_NAME, and my SQL is
SELECT MAX(CREATE_FIELD_NAME) INTO (CREATE_DATE) FROM (TABLE_NAME).
I also tried:
SELECT MAX((CREATE_FIELD_NAME)) INTO (CREATE_DATE) FROM (TABLE_NAME).
But abap is not recognizing my variable as a variable in either case, but rather, as a field name.
Anyone know a way around this?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff
Here is my program:
FUNCTION ZJLSTEST4.
""Local Interface:
*" IMPORTING
*"     VALUE(TABLE_NAME) LIKE MAKT-MAKTX
*"     VALUE(CREATE_FIELD_NAME) LIKE MAKT-MAKTX
*"     VALUE(UPDATE_FIELD_NAME) LIKE MAKT-MAKTX
*" EXPORTING
*"     VALUE(MAX_DATE) LIKE SY-DATUM
DATA: CREATE_DATE LIKE MCHA-ERSDA VALUE '19000101',
      UPDATE_DATE LIKE MCHA-LAEDA VALUE '19000101'.
SELECT MAX(CREATE_FIELD_NAME) INTO (CREATE_DATE) FROM (TABLE_NAME).
ENDSELECT.
*SELECT MAX((UPDATE_FIELD_NAME)) INTO (UPDATE_DATE) FROM (TABLE_NAME).
*ENDSELECT.
IF CREATE_DATE > UPDATE_DATE.
   MAX_DATE = CREATE_DATE.
ELSE.
   MAX_DATE = UPDATE_DATE.
ENDIF.
IF MAX_DATE = '19000101'.
MAX_DATE = SY-DATUM.
ENDIF.
ENDFUNCTION.

Max is right, you need the spaces, as in my example.
You might like to try this:
data: l_CREATE_FIELD_NAME) LIKE MAKT-MAKTX,
      l_UPDATE_FIELD_NAME) LIKE MAKT-MAKTX.
DATA: CREATE_DATE LIKE MCHA-ERSDA VALUE '19000101',
UPDATE_DATE LIKE MCHA-LAEDA VALUE '19000101'.
concatenate 'MAX(' create_name ')' into l_create_name separated by space.
concatenate 'MAX(' update_name ')' into l_update_name separated by space.
SELECT SINGLE (l_CREATE_FIELD_NAME)
INTO CREATE_DATE FROM (table_name).
SELECT SINGLE (l_updATE_FIELD_NAME)
INTO updATE_DATE FROM (table_name).
IF CREATE_DATE > UPDATE_DATE.
MAX_DATE = CREATE_DATE.
ELSE.
MAX_DATE = UPDATE_DATE.
ENDIF.
IF MAX_DATE = '19000101'.
MAX_DATE = SY-DATUM.
ENDIF.
If it still fails please post the latest abap code for us to check.

Dynamic SQL and PL/SQL Gateway

This question is kind of out of curiosity...I had created a procedure that used some dynamic sql (execute immediate), and was trying to use it on pl/sql gateway. I kept getting page not found errors until I removed the execute immediate statement, and reverted to using static sql statements.
I am just curious, is dynamic sql not supported at all with pl/sql gateway?
Thanks
Kevin

> Relax damorgan, no need to be condescending. Of course I read the docs ..
Well, you're one of the few that actually read the docs.. And one of many that lacked to state any real technical details for forum members to understand the actual problem, the actual error, and what the environment is that this is happening in.
Remember that you came to this forum for forum members to help you. In order for us to do that, you need to help us understand
- your problem
- your environment
- what you have tried
What PL/SQL Gateway do you refer to? Thus is an old term for an old product - today in Oracle there are two "gateways" into the PL/SQL engine via HTTP. Via Apache/mod_plsql and via the internal Java servlet web engine called EPG inside Oracle.
As for what the "Gateway" access to the PL/SQL engine via HTTP.. whether it supports EXECUTE IMMEDIATE or not is like asking if a car "supports" soft drinks or not (just because a human that may consume soft drinks acts as the driver of the car). Not sensible or relevant at all.
mod_plsql creates an Oracle session to the database instance, and executes a PL/SQL procedure in the database. This is no different from any other client connection to Oracle. Oracle has no clue that the client is mod_plsql and not TOAD or Java or VB or PHP or Perl or whatever else.
So how can this support or not support the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE command? Does PL/SQL support EXECUTE IMMEDIATE? Well duh...
Why do you get a generic 404? Because the PL/SQL call made by mod_plsql failed with an unhandled exception. mod_plsql gets that exception and now what? Was a valid HTP buffer created for it to stream to the web browser? If the buffer perhaps partially completed? All that mod_plsql knows is that it asked for a HTP buffer via that PL/SQL call and it got an exception in return.
A 404 HTTP error is the only reasonable and logical response for it to pass to the web browser in this case.
PS. to see why mod_plsql fail, refer to the access_log and error_log of that Apache httpd server

Dynamic sql and ref cursors URGENT!!

Hi,
I'm using a long to build a dynamic sql statement. This is limited by about 32k. This is too short for my statement.
The query results in a ref cursor.
Does anyone have an idea to create larger statement or to couple ref cursors, so I can execute the statement a couple of times and as an result I still have one ref cursor.
Example:
/* Determine if project is main project, then select all subprojects */
for i in isMainProject loop
if i.belongstoprojectno is null then
for i in ProjectSubNumbers loop
if ProjectSubNumbers%rowcount=1 then
SqlStatement := InitialStatement || i.projectno;
else
SqlStatement := SqlStatement || PartialStatement || i.projectno;
end if;
end loop;
else
for i in ProjectNumber loop
if ProjectNumber%rowcount=1 then
SqlStatement := InitialStatement || i.projectno;
else
SqlStatement := SqlStatement || PartialStatement || i.projectno;
end if;
end loop;
end if;
end loop;
/* Open ref cursor */
open sql_output for SqlStatement;
Thanks in advance,

Dynamic sql and updating cursors

hi to anyone,
we use few temporary global tables which will be created on the fly if not present ( the reason is - they are not created by power designer ).
addressing theses tables is only possible by using dynamic sql via "execute immediate" because they may not be known to the compiler as they are not created yet.
Now I defined a cursor to walk through the table - using cursor reference "ref cursor". Using this cursor works, but i found no way using this cursor for update. i.e. declaring as .. for update of and later putting it into an execute immediate like " execute immediate 'update ' || w_temp_table || ' set f1 = :1, f2 = :2 where current of ' || w_cursor using w_1, w_2;" It doesnt work if I block this command using "begin / end".
Does naybody know a solution ?
thanks in advance
wilko

Thanks todd,
my main purpose has been just using the dynamic cursor for update as I know that this is quite easy and also fast. I didnt concern about locking all rows I walk through. But you are right - at end you will use the most easy way. So what I did because of another cursor problem ( with analytical functions ) - I defined the temporary table before compiling and everything is much more convenient.
thanks for help
