Fixed format data file output

Does anyone know how to generate fixed format text file? I have few fields in the select which are null and hence messes up the file format, as space does not take up same amount of character width than any alphabets.
Basically I want to generate fixed length data file which is scheduled through DBMS_JOBS. I am using UTL_FILE utility.
Every suggestion are welcome
Thanks in advance for help :)

hello,
using spaces as filler is sufficient. a space takes up the same room (one character) as any other letter in the alphabet.
if you look at the output in any word-processing tool or editor, that uses fonts like times, helvetica, arial, etc. those fonts are rendering the space-character smaller. in fact they are rendering each letter different. if you want to see what your output looks like, choose a font like courier.
if you just generate the file and then process it further, you should be OK. don't let you be fooled by what you see in your editor.
regards,
philipp

Variable not being included in XML data file output

This seems like it should be obvious, but I've struggled with this for a couple of days.
As a programming principle, I like to make the form as "smart" as possible and the resulting Word templates, or XML documents as simple as possible. I need to be able to set a "flag" that would be in the XML data file if certain conditions are met, e.g.,
if (field1.rawValue == "0"){variable1 == "1"};
if (field2.rawValue == "0") {variable1 == "1"}; etc.
The problem that I'm having is that I can't seem to get variable1 to be included in the XML data file that the form creates.
Help! This seems like it should be so simple but I'm baffled.
Bill

The variable you're setting does not fall within the scope of the xml output (it's scope is only within the execution of the form).
Try creating a variable (Using File > Form Properties >Variable) and assigning your value to it (variableName.value = 1).
One note of warning, you'll want to trigger the validation event every time the form is opened or your value will return to the default value when users re-open the form.

Formatted .data file, reading in and creating an array of objects from data

Hi there, I have written a text file with the following format;
List of random personal data: length 100
1 : Atg : Age 27 : Income 70000
2 : Dho : Age 57 : Income 110000
3 : Lid : Age 40 : Income 460000
4 : Wgeecnce : Age 43 : Income 370000
and so on.
These three pieces of data, Name,Age and Income were all generated randomly to be stored in an array of objects of class Person.
Now what I must do is , read in this very file and re-create the array of objects that they were initially written from.
I'm totally lost on how to go about doing this, I have only been learning java for the last month so anyone that can lend me a hand, that would be superb!
Cheers!

Looking at you other thread, you are able to create the code needed - so what's the problem?
Here's an (not the only) approach:
Create an array of the necessary length to hold the 3 variables, or, if you don't know the length of the file, create a class to contain the data. Then create an ArrayList to hold an instance of the class..
Use the Scanner class to read and parse the file contents into the appropriate variables.
Add each variable to either the array, or to an instance of the class and add that instance to the arraylist.

This allows for the header row and the data to be written to seperate files if required.

The procedure allows for the header and data to go to seperate files if required. Just specifying the "header" filename will put the header and data in the one file.

Create XML format file in bulk insert with a data file with out delimiter

Hello
I have a date file with no delimiter like bellow

0080970393102312072981103378000004329392643958
I just know 5 first number in a line is for example "ID of bank"
or 6th and 7th number in a line is for example "ID of employee"
Could you help me how can I create a XML format file?
thanks alot

This is a fixed file format. We need to know the length of each field before creating the format file. Say you have said the first 5 characters are Bank ID and 6th to 7th as Employee ID ... then the XML should look like,
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<BCPFORMAT xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2004/bulkload/format"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

<FIELD ID="2"xsi:type="CharFixed"LENGTH="2"/>
<FIELD ID="3" xsi:type="CharFixed" LENGTH="8"/>
<FIELD ID="4" xsi:type="CharFixed" LENGTH="14"/>
<FIELD ID="5" xsi:type="CharFixed" LENGTH="14"/>
<FIELD ID="6" xsi:type="CharFixed" LENGTH="1"/>
</RECORD>

<COLUMN SOURCE="4" NAME="c4" xsi:type="SQLINT"

<COLUMN SOURCE="5" NAME="c5" xsi:type="SQLINT"

</ROW>
</BCPFORMAT>
Note: Similarly you need to specify the other length as well.

Has anyone experienced 'Parent' & 'Child' TOC (bookmark version) issues, when using an InDesign Book to create a fixed format ePub3?

Hello,
I'm using the latest versions of AdobeCC and Indesign on the mac to generate fixed format ePub3 files.
I have an Indesign Book which is comprised of 9 documents (chapters). When I create a bookmark based Table Of Contents, I'm finding that I'm having trouble getting the 'parent' and 'child' hierarchy perfect. This is because some 'child' bookmarks need to be under the 'parent' of one document within my book, and yet I need to add the bookmark from a different document (or chapter).
In essence, I'm asking is there a way of having a 'child' bookmark in one document, nestled under a 'parent' on a different document within my InDesign book? All I seem to get are repeats of the 'parent' rather than it looking at all of the documents and synching them.
In the screenshot below (the larger circle), I have added sharks as a parent folder in one 'document/chapter', and then later on in the book (in a different document/chapter, another shark needs to be added to the list under the sharks parent, and yet it doesn't give me the option to add it as a Child to sharks. I created another sharks parent in this later document thinking I might be able to synch across all documents, but all it seems to do is create a duplicate.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks, Joe

Just thought that a much better way of phrasing what I initially asked would be: Is there is a way to synchronize bookmarks across all documents in a book?
Thanks
Joe

External table: How to load data from a fixed format UTF8 external file

Hi Experts,
I am trying to read data from a fixed format UTF8 external file in to a external table. The file has non-ascii characters, and the presence of the non-ascii characters causes the data to be positioned incorrectly in the external table.
The following is the content's of the file:
20100423094529000000I1 ABÄCDE 1 000004
20100423094529000000I2 OMS Crew 2 2 000004

20100423094529000000I8 Mobile Crew 8 8 000004
The structure of the data is as follows:
Name Type Start End Length
UPDATE_DTTM CHAR 1 20 20
CHANGE_TYPE_CD CHAR 21 21 1
CREW_CD CHAR 22 37 16
CREW_DESCR CHAR 38 97 60
CREW_ID CHAR 98 113 16
UDF1_CD CHAR 114 143 30
UDF1_DESCR CHAR 144 203 60
UDF2_CD CHAR 204 233 30
DATA_SOURCE_IND CHAR 294 299 6
UDF2_DESCR CHAR 234 293 60
I create the external table as follows:
CREATE TABLE "D_CREW_EXT"
"UPDATE_DTTM" CHAR(20 BYTE),
"CHANGE_TYPE_CD" CHAR(1 BYTE),
"CREW_CD" CHAR(16 BYTE),

"UDF2_DESCR" POSITION (234:293) CHAR(60) )
) LOCATION ( 'D_CREW_EXT.DAT' )
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
Check the result in database:
select * from D_CREW_EXT;
I found the first row is incorrect. For each non-ascii character,the fields to the right of the non-ascii character are off by 1 character,meaning that the data is moved 1 character to the right.
Then I tried to use the option STRING SIZES ARE IN CHARACTERS instead of STRING SIZES ARE IN BYTES, it doesn't work either.
The database version is 11.1.0.6.
Edited by: yuan on May 21, 2010 2:43 AM

Hi,
I changed the BYTE in the create table part to CHAR, it still doesn't work. The result is the same. I think the problem is in ACCESS PARAMETERS.
Any other suggestion?

How can I unload data to ASCII fixed-format or delimited files,

Hello,
SQL*Loader loads data from ASCII fixed-format or delimited files. Is there such utility to unload data from Oracle database ?
Agnieszka

No. The Export utility will dump data out but not into an ascii file.
Do you need the whole database or just some table or result of a query set?
Check out the ULT_FILE package - this will allow you to write some SQL code which will do the job you want.
Cheers,

<DIVI have a 600 row table (dml below) with identical string in each row of the descript column. (I put in some special characters just to push it through the escape function for html. It is displaying the text correctly.)
The page has one report region (plsql below).
The page template is stripped down.
My local results are identical to the otn hosted workspace.
I did dump the table in xml format and displayed the dump file in browser without a problem, so I'm missing something in the code.
Thank you.

Hi,
You can use RPAD to add spaces to the VARCHAR2 columns, like this:
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE ( fRPT_FILE
                  , RPAD (CUR.state_code, 2) || ' ,''' ||
                    CUR.CONTINENTAL_US_FLAG || ''',"' ||
                    RPAD (CUR.name, 40)      || '"'
Can the columns be NULL? If so, you may need
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE ( fRPT_FILE
                  , RPAD (NVL (CUR.state_code, ' '), 2) || ' ,''' ||
                    NVL (CUR.CONTINENTAL_US_FLAG, ' ') || ''',"' ||
                    RPAD (NVL (CUR.name, ' '), 40)      || '"'
since   RPAD (str, len)   returns NULL if str is NULL.
Lose those EXCEPTION sections. All they are doing is making it harder to find and fix errors.

Adding data file to the existing tablespace given wrong format file name

Hi
while adding the data file existing tablespace. i given wrong format '/dev/oracle/data/user_data_02' i miss the .dbf extension for this data file.
Alter tablespace ts2 add datafile '/dev/oracle/data/user_data_02' size 200m
the data file was created.
So i want to know. What will happen if the data file is wrong format?
Thanks in advance

it doesnt matter what you name the file. oracle will be able to use it. if you need to change the name to meet your naming conventions, then you will need to take the db down and rename the file at the OS level and then startup mount to rename the file at the DB level.
why are you puting files in /dev? Thats for devices.

XML Publisher - how to make column as date format in excel output

Hi,
I am having a XML publisher report , output is excel format. There are some date fields in reports, which are being displayed as "General" type in excel.
Any way to restrict it in Date type only.
Please explain the solution in detail. I am using rtf template.
Regards
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
I have the same issue. After looking at a lot of replies from various blogs, some suggest to use this format in your rtf.It did not work for me. You could try this and check if it works for you.
<?format-date:datefied;’yyyy/MM/dd’?> where the format can be specific to your use.

How to load unicode data files with fixed records lengths?

Hi!
To load unicode data files with fixed records lengths (in terms of charachters and not of bytes!) using SQL*Loader manually, I found two ways:
Alternative 1: one record per row
SQL*Loader control file example (without POSITION, since POSITION always refers to bytes!)<br>
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET UTF8

Implementing these two alternatives in OWB, I encounter the following problems:
* How to specify LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR?
* How to suppress the POSITION definition?
* How to define a flat file with variable length and how to specify the number of bytes containing the length definition?
Or is there another way that can be implemented using OWB?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Carsten.

Hi Carsten
If you need to support the LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR clause in an external table then one option is to use the unbound external table and capture the access parameters manually. To create an unbound external table you can skip the selection of a base file in the external table wizard. Then when the external table is edited you will get an Access Parameters tab where you can define the parameters. In 11gR2 the File to Oracle external table can also add this clause via an option.
