End of Input has been reached

Question

hi-
I have a massive query in my answer producing error message:
Error Details
Error Codes: YQCO4T56:OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
State: HY000. Code: 295120032. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27001] End of input has been reached. Illegal syntax. (HY000)
This is because I have so many syntax in each columns. Is there anyone experienced this before, is there any setting needed to be set to prevent this error?
Thanks,
Will

Answer 1

Hi-
Thanks for the replies, Nico, and Joe;
Joe is correct, I'm using FILTER(<MEASURE> USING <CONDITION>) extensively:
IFNULL((
     IFNULL(FILTER(Measures.Revenue USING Period."Month"='Dec' AND Period."Year"= CAST(CAST(VALUEOF("CURR_YEAR") AS INTEGER)-1 AS CHAR(4))),0)*
     IFNULL(FILTER(Measures.FX_2 USING Period."Month"='Jan' AND Period."Year"=VALUEOF("CURR_YEAR")),0)-
     IFNULL(FILTER(Measures.Revenue USING Period."Month"='Dec' AND Period."Year"= CAST(CAST(VALUEOF("CURR_YEAR") AS INTEGER)-1 AS CHAR(4))),0)*
     IFNULL(FILTER(Measures.FX_2 USING Period."Month"='Dec'AND Period."Year"= CAST(CAST(VALUEOF("CURR_YEAR") AS INTEGER)-1 AS CHAR(4))),0)
(IFNULL(FILTER(Measures.FX_2 USING Period."Month"='Jan' AND Period."Year"=VALUEOF("CURR_YEAR")),0)*-1)
,0) +

END(And so goes until CASE WHEN 12 > CAST(EVALUATE('to_char(%1,''MM'')' as CHAR(2),EVALUATE('to_date(%1,''Month'')' as DATE,LEFT('@{pv_period}{Jun-2009}',3))) AS INT), I can't post whole formula due to maximum character per post)
let's say that above calculation is = <CALCULATION>
In Answer:
Column 1: <CALCULATION>
Column 2: ABS(<CALCULATION>)
Column 3: SUM(ABS(<CALCULATION>))
Column 4: RSUM(ABS(<CALCULATION>)/SUM(ABS(<CALCULATION>)))
This is to achieve Jan through Dec calculations through hardcode for each months.
At first I thought it was because of the limit of characters OBIEE can handle for each request, because when I was pressing OK upon editing column formula in Column 3 (after I've entered Column 1, and Column2), it pops an error (end of input has been reached)
though when I delete formula in Column 1, I can sucessfully entered formula in Column 2, and Column 3; Seems it can only handle 2 <CALCULATION>, so I was thought this is like a bug: limit for SQL Issued before in version 10.1.3.3.
If there is not any setting to control this, and the only solution is to change the approach on query, I'm thinking of using AGO formula to minimize the query.
If I'm not mistaken, Nico, and Joe, the culprit will be the extensive use of FILTER and CASE WHEN so the SQL generated will be too many to handle?

Will
