Error writing data in a flat file using UTL_FILE feature

Hi All,
I have written a package which fetches data from four different cursors and inserts into a temporary table.
Now this temporary table is used to write data in a file using the UTL_FILE feature.
fhandler :=
UTL_FILE.fopen (l_path,'Demand_Transactions_'
|| TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'YYYYMMDDHH24MI')
|| '.txt',
'w',
max_linesize => 32767
This table has 62593 records and when it starts writing data into the file from the table it errors out after writing 30045 records with the error - ORA-01722: invalid number.
Can anyome please advise me is it because of the max_linesize => 32767. If not then what can be the possible reason.
Any help in this would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Shruti

The error would indicate that you have a character to number conversion going on somewhere but the characters are not numeric so it's failing that conversion.
This doesn't sound like a UTL_FILE issue, but more to do with how you are building up your strings to output to the file.
You would need to show us your code that builds up the lines you are writing out, with details of the datatypes of any of the columns/variables included in that.

Delete data from a flat file using PL/SQL -- Please help.. urgent

Hi All,
We are writing data to a flat file using Text_IO.Put_Line command. We want to delete data / record from that file after data is written onto it.
Please let us know if this is possible.
Thanks in advance.
Vaishali

There's nothing in UTL_FILE to do this, so your options are either to write a Java stored procedure to do it or to use whatever mechanism the host operating system supports for editing files.
Alternatively, you could write a PL/SQL procedure to read each line in from the file and then write them out to a second file, discarding the line you don't want along the way.

How to read a tab seperated data from a text file using utl_file

Hi,
How to read a tab seperated data from a text file using utl_file...
I know if we use UTL_FILE.get_line we can read the whole line...but i need to read the tab separated value separately.....
Thanks in advance...

It is then up to you to split that string up (search for split string on this forum for methods) into it's individual components.
If the text file contains a standard structure on each line, i.e. it is a fixed delimited structure, then you could use external tables to read the data instead.

Figured it out, found similar post that stated changing the HEAP size
Increase the page size in odiparams.bat in the bin folder and restart Designer.
For eg:
set ODI_INIT_HEAP=128m
set ODI_MAX_HEAP=1024m

CUNIT error in data loading from flat file after r/3 extraction

Need help in writing data to a flat file in .csv format

Hi All,
could you please show with a sample example to write data in .csv format using UTL_file.
The result of the refcursor i want to write to a file in .csv format.
How can i achieve this.
Thx

Hi,
There are two ways to acheive this.
First and which I prefer is creating a SQL script which will generate csv file at the specified location in CSV format. And then this SQL script can be called from your cron job similar to how you call stored procedure. Following is pseudo code that can be used -
set linesize 500
set echo off
set feedback off
set prompt off
set pagesize 0
spool <name of the csv file>.csv
<Your select statement>;
spool offPut select statement delimiting columns you want to use with ','. E.g. following query should create a CSV file named as abc.csv with one record and 2 columns delimited by comma. First column is ENO and second column is ENAME.
set linesize 500
set echo off
set feedback off
set prompt off
set pagesize 0
spool abc.csv
select ENO || ',' || ENAME from employee;
spool offSecond, you can write a PLSQL procedure and then call this procedure from cron job. There is a generic procedure shared by BluShadow some time back which is a very good example for this. Please refer to following link for this solution -
REF Cursor creating CSV files
I will suggest to use first method above if possible since it will be faster and less complicated in my opinion. Second method is recommended for scenarios where select statement is created dynamically and cannot be written during development.
Hope this solves your purpose.

Error loading data from an XML file using HTTPService

Hello All,
I have a runtime error that has got me beat at the moment I am building an App in Flash Builder 4 to run on AIR.
The error is as follows: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
What i'm Trying to Do:
I have 2 DropDownList controls, the first is populated with country names and the other with language options. All the 1st DropDownList control does
is set an image control to display the country flag and enable the 2nd DropDownList.
The 2nd DropDownList sets the langCode variable equal to the chosen language code. I then call the language function and pass it langCode. Using this variable, I build up the string
so that langFilePath will be equal to the XML file (which is "Lang_GBR.xml") location on my desktop and then call the HTTPService.
As soon as the language function is called, the runtime error occurs and highlights the line with btn_LS_mainMenu.label = loadLangService.lastResult.Lang.GlobalTags.btnMenu;
where I try to assign the button label with a new value from the XML file.
I suspect this may be a trivial error but I just can't see it at the moment.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks

Don't sure about your XML structure, but for now i see the problem here between this 2 lines of code:
loadLangService.send();
btn_LS_mainMenu.label = loadLangService.lastResult.Lang.GlobalTags.btnMenu;
Think data that your httpService should receive just can't go so fast to populate the lastResult before you call it in the next line
Try adding a result listener to your service before you send it:
loadLangService.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, handler);
loadLangService.send();
function handler(event:ResultEvent):void {
     btn_LS_mainMenu.label = loadLangService.lastResult.Lang.GlobalTags.btnMenu;

Loading CLOB data to a flat file in owb 11.2.0.3

Hi,
Also,I have one more question.I want to load a table with clob data into a flat file using my owb client 11.2.0.3.But when I run this simple mapping ,I am getting this error:
ORA-06502:pl/sql:NUMERIC OR VALUE ERROR:CHARACTER STRING BUFFER TOO SMALL.
Please suggest what needs to be done.

I was up all night as I had a dead line doing this....
Turned out my Mapping was corrupted.
If you do a series of synchronizations by object name, position, id the mapping would end up corrupted.
I had to delete my staging table operator within the mapping, drag and drop and reconnect and now my loads work just fine..
Thanks

Problem while writing to fixed length flat file from xml

Hi,
I have a problem in writing data into a flat file of fixed length...
My input is a xml file and i want the output as a flat file. I am successful in converting the xml into flat file... But the main problem is, i am unable to insert spaces in between my fields in the flat file.
The data in the flat file comes without spaces... Any suggestions on writing the schema...
Regards
Surya.

Have a look at this doc
http://otndnld.oracle.co.jp/document/products/as10g/101310/doc_cd/integrate.1013/b28994/nfb.htm#BGBBAJFD
your element should be something like this, it pads with a space using the paddedBy expression
<xsd:element name="C1" type="xsd:string" nxsd:style="fixedLength" nxsd:length="4" nxsd:paddedBy=" " nxsd:padStyle="tail" />if having trouble post what you want the file to look like, and the xsd you are using.
cheers

Error while uploading data from a flat file

Hi All,
I am trying to load data from a flat file to an ODS. The flat file contains a field, say FLAT01, of numerical type(Type Decimal, Length 18, Decimals 2). I have created an infoobject, say ZIO10, with type CURR and currency field, 0CURRENCY. In the transfer rules, I have assigned a constant for 0CURRENCY as the flat file doesn't have any currecy field.
The problem is the flat file doesn't have any value in that field, FLAT01, for some records, infact most of the records. When I try to load it to BW,from applicatin server, it is throwing an error "Contents from field ZIO10 cannot be converted in type CURR ->longtext".
I have debugged the transfer rules and find that the empty value is being represented as '#' and when it is trying to copy it into the CURR type field, it is throwing the error.
Can someone please let me know how to solve it? why is it taking '#' for enpty value? Can't we change that?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Best Regards,
James.

Hi SS,
I am sorry that I was not clear with my explanation. I have created ZIO10 as a keyfigure with type AMOUNT and the currency as 0CURRENCY.
There is no currency coming in from the flat file so I used a constant in transfer rules to fill 0CURRENCY.
The field which is coming as '#' is FLAT01 which is assigned to ZIO10.
Best Regards,
James.

Export table data in a flat file without using FL

Hi,
I am looking for options where I can export table data into a flat file without using FL(File Layout) i.e., by using App Engine only.
Please share your experience if you did anything as this
Thanks

A simple way to export any record (table/view) to an csv fiel, is to create a rowset and loop through all record fields, like below example code
Local Rowset &RS;
Local Record &Rec;
Local File &MYFILE;
Local string &FileName, &strRecName, &Line, &Seperator, &Value;
Local number &numRow, &numField;
&FileName = "c:\temp\test.csv";
&strRecName = "PSOPRDEFN";
&Seperator = ";";
&RS = CreateRowset(@("Record." | &strRecName));
&RS.Fill();
&MYFILE = GetFile(&FileName, "W", %FilePath_Absolute);
If &MYFILE.IsOpen Then
   For &numRow = 1 To &RS.ActiveRowCount
      &Rec = &RS(&numRow).GetRecord(@("RECORD." | &strRecName));
      For &numField = 1 To &Rec.FieldCount
         &Value = String(&Rec.GetField(&numField).Value);
         If &numField = 1 Then
            &Line = &Value;
         Else
            &Line = &Line | &Seperator | &Value;
         End-If;
      End-For;
      &MYFILE.WriteLine(&Line);
   End-For;
End-If;
&MYFILE.Close(); You can of course create an application class for generic calling this piece of code.
Hope it helps.
Note:
Do not come complaining to me on performance issues ;)

Error while uploading master data attributes thru flat file

while uploading master data attributes thru flat file i am facing the below errow. can nyone let me know plz.
Error 8 when compiling the upload program: row 227, message: Data type /BIC/CCDEIO_MAT5_ATTR was found in a new

This just means that you changed the transfer rules/transfer structure and have not refreshed the workbench yet. The infopackage data hasn't been updated ... this is similar to a datasource update, where you need to replicate to make sure BW knows the latest version.
The best way to correct this error is to reload RSA1. Every time I make a change to the tr/ts, I always run /nrsa1 to refresh the workbench.
