Exception calling function in package

i am looking for help determining why i receive the following exception when trying to call the PA_SEARCH_NOTES() function that is in the PA_SEARCHING package:

cs.setInt( 2, 1 );
cs.setString( 3, bean.getIssueTypeString( ) );
cs.registerOutParameter( 4, oracle.jdbc.OracleTypes.ARRAY, "TABLENUM" );
cs.execute( );this is the oracle database information i'm using:
Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.6.2.0 - Production
With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 8.1.6.2.0 - Production
using Oracle JDBC driver [ver. 8.1.7.0.0]

Try { ? = CALL PA_SEARCHING.PA_SEARCH_NOTES( ?, ?, ?, ? ) } and use registerOutParameter to accept the return value from your function.

How can I call functions in packages using flash builder?

a new guy in flash developnet, I need to find out a way to import multiple packages into frames and call functions. I know how to import packages, but an error occurs error 1120 : access of undefined property. How can ı solve them?
Is there any easy way to add Mediapomise object to the stage form the package? "addChild(loader);" does not work? or ı do not know whether it works or not, ı could not see the photo that ı took from camerauı object in android.
thank you

I need to find out a way to import multiple packages into frames
Usually, no matter where you use any classes of any package, the imports happen always in the beginning.
If you have a specific problem with flashbuilder you should post in this forum:

What (the hell) is SQL Exception called Function sequence error?

...doing in a code like this:
ResultSet friends=...executeQuery...
while (friends.next())
log.append(friends.getString("sendergsm"));
somewhere in between that loop, or sometimes the loop runs out fine, and sometimes it throws SQLException called General Error. Not guite normal...

Thank you for replying... that must be agains some of the policies of the sun, to make methods that may be called normally, but may cause an error.
Anyway, this is my first database application. The number of problems I've had in few days is unbelivable. I wonder does it load the drivers from disk or something everytime it reads one record from database. I mean when I did the above query, the table had about 10 entries (the program showed 5 to 10 before function sequense error) and displaying each record to TextArea took over second. (In paradox (The dosversion) this would have taken less than a second).
And paradox tables doesn't work at all because it raises exception: Table isn't expected format. If I set paradox 4.0 drivers and put paradox 4.0 tables, you would guess that the format would be expected. And you cannot create paradox tables with SQL. Now I need to use access databases. How can database containing 60 records be 500kb:s? When it will contain 50000 new records every day, i guess I'll be in problem. Each tranaction (say 5 simple queries) taking minutes... heelp meee!!

PLS-00201 error calling function in package member

Hello,
I'm trying to call a function defined in a PL/SQL package, but receiving a PLS-00201 error.

Sorry, a finger-controller error caused me to submit before I was ready. I'm having the module replaced today. :)
After rethinking my decision to post here, I decided not to. I've never received a helpful answer, probably because the issues are not simple... Too bad.

Hi Monoj,
A few questions:
- What OS is Siebel running on?
- What version of the Siebel connector are you using?
- Which libdnd.so file are you using?
- What's the contents of your dnd.parms file?

Uncatchable exception: BSP calling Function Module

Hi all,
currently i'm facing a very weird problem. My application class calls function module
HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION. Normally, in case of an error, the function module gives you back a return parameter. But if i call it from my BSP, the processing doesn't leave the function module. It directly throws an exception ERROR_MESSAGE_STATE instead of writing the message into parameter return.
If i call the function module with the same parameters from a report, it works fine and the error message is written to return parameter without throwing an exception.
What am i doing wrong? I don't want that exception and need to go on with filled parameter result.

CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_REMOTE_PIPE' throwing exception as 1

Hi Sapients,
I am using CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_REMOTE_PIPE' to rename a file at the UNIX level..Though this runs well... sometimes this is giving an exception as ''1'' (System Failure).. if we execute the same after 3 or 4 hours this RFC is again successfully executed...Can anyone throw some light on why this is happening and how we can avoid the same.

      OTHERS                = 3.
where the l_command is mv old_file_name New_file_name
and C_yes is X

Hi,
Maybe my answer comes too late.
Could be helpful for others anyway.
We got the same trouble and it was due to the RFCEXEC.SEC file.
Installing the SDK7.20 the RFCEXEC files were missing and old RFCEXEC.SEC was not in the same format...
Please look also to OSS notes #1592501 and #1581595

Need of exception handler in calling function, isn't that weird???

Hi,
I have written a function as follows
public String fetchName(String query) throws Exception
          stmt = con.createStatement();
          ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
          rs.next();
          return (rs.getString(1));
I've handled the for exceptions here using "throws Exception". Inspite of that when i call it from other function and in that funtion no exception need to be handled, compiler gives errror.
Following is the calling funtion
public String checksubAction(String action)
          String retValue=" ";
String query="";
          query = "select Title from dbo.Folder where Folder_Id="+folderId;
          retValue = dataBaseObj.fetchName(query);
but when i write it in try-catch block, no errror is given.
Why is it that inspite of handling exception(s) in the called function, we need to handle them in calling functions.

No you have not handled the exception. Your code say "fetchName" does NOT handle exceptions of type "Exception", the calling method should be aware of this, and handle that type of exception.

(Please when declaring a method can throw exceptions, be specific, i.e. throw SQLException in this case)

Call function destination XI exception

Hello,
in R3 i call to function in XI, it's follow:
call function 'XXX'
--destination 'XI'
--exporting
AA = aa
--importing
BB = bb
--exceptions
system_failure = 1
communication_failure = 2
other = 3
when this call produce a exception, why sometimes I can not see anything in XI - SXMB_MONI / runtime workbench -?
thank you very much

HI,
If in case the message failed at entry point i.e. RFC sender communication channel, then it would not be available in SXMB_MONI.
You may trace it from Communciation Channel Monitoring from RWB..

Exception CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_TYPE when calling function

Hello,
When I call a function module, it gives a runtime error like this:
Runtime error CALL_FUNCTION_CONFLICT_TYPE
Except. CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_TYPE
The problem is that I'm using something like below:
call function zzz
exporting
        xxx             = yyy
with:
xxx type char50
yyy type char2
Is there a possibility to transform my char2 into a char50?
By doing this, I would be able to use the function module.
Thanks

hi,
do one thing just make the type and size of both the importing and exporting parameter same...
example:-
data: a(10) type c.   (importing)
data: b(10) type c.       (exporting)
i think this will help u

Call function node exception AI SingleScan

Hi all,
I am running a Labview 6.1 application on Windows 2000.
When I run the circuit to measure waveform curve on 1 input it works fine.
But I had to introduce a measurement of 2 more inputs and now get the following exception (this happens sporadically - mainly when you have important measurements):
"An exception occured within the external code called by a call library node......VI was stopped at Call library function node 0x239C of subVI "AI SingleScan (single-point waveform).vi".
The call function library calls this routine out of lvdaq.dll with calling convention 'C' (otherwise the program crashed instantly).
I hope that someone can help me solve it.
Thnx xris.

As a general rule, just declare the namespace(s) - default or prefixes - you need to resolve the XPath expression.
Once you correct that part, you'll discover that your query returns NULL.
That's because the XPath doesn't point to any node.
Try this instead :
SELECT EXTRACTVALUE(

DBMS_JOB using Packaged Functions but Package goes invalid

Is there any way to check a package while running a PL/SQL procedure to see if it's state is valid and then catch the exception?
In my case usually just calling any function in the package 1x clears it up but the procedure in question runs as a DBMS_JOB it just keeps failing. This procedure could run often enough that Oracle will mark it as broken but I want to give it every shot at execution on time instead of having to make it wait till the next cycle.
What I would like to do is to catch the exception for the package state being invalid and basically have it go back to the beginning of the procedure and give it another try before failing in case it is just a failure because the package has been altered.
Is there any way to do this?

Firstly, I'll copy/paste my standard response regarding package state going invalid as it usually helps to have an understanding of these things...
Packages tend to fail because of their "package state". A package has a "state" when it contains package level variables/constants etc. and the package is called. Upon first calling the package, the "state" is created in memory to hold the values of those variables etc. If an object that the package depends upon e.g. a table is altered in some way e.g. dropped and recreated, then because of the database dependencies, the package takes on an INVALID status. When you next make a call to the package, Oracle looks at the status and sees that it is invalid, then determines that the package has a "state". Because something has altered that the package depended upon, the state is taken as being out of date and is discarded, thus causing the "Package state has been discarded" error message.
If a package does not have package level variables etc. i.e. the "state" then, taking the same example above, the package takes on an INVALID status, but when you next make a call to the package, Oracle sees it as Invalid, but knows that there is no "state" attached to it, and so is able to recompile the package automatically and then carry on execution without causing any error messages. The only exception here is if the thing that the package was dependant on has changes in such a way that the package cannot compile, in which case you'll get an Invalid package type of error.
And if you want to know how to prevent discarded package states....
Move all constants and variables into a stand-alone package spec and reference those from your initial package. Thus when the status of your original package is invlidated for whatever reason, it has no package state and can be recompiled automatically, however the package containing the vars/const will not become invalidated as it has no dependencies, so the state that is in memory for that package will remain and can continue to be used.
As for having package level cursors, you'll need to make these local to the procedures/functions using them as you won't be able to reference cursors across packages like that (not sure about using REF CURSORS though.... there's one for me to investigate!)
This first example shows the package state being invalided by the addition of a new column on the table, and causing it to give a "Package state discarded" error...
