Function Call Syntax

What is the proper syntax to assign the value returned from a function call to a variable when that function is called within a procedure withing a package.
My example Procedure looks like the following :
The function that I am calling is "FNC_CURRENT_TIME_ID" in the package "tst_UI_Queries". I have tried the following....
PROCEDURE QRY_CURRENT_TIME_ID(o_Time_ID               int)
IS
BEGIN
     o_Time_ID := exec tst_UI_Queries.FNC_CURRENT_TIME_ID;
     RETURN o_Time_ID;
END QRY_CURRENT_TIME_ID;
I have also tried...
exec txt_UI_Queries.FNC_Current_TIME_ID INTO o_Time_ID;
Does not seem to like either...
Thanks inadvance for your assistance!!!

IF you are assigning the return value to the o_Time_ID, which is an input parameter to the procedure QRY_CURRENT_TIME_ID, you must make it an OUT or IN OUT to be able to assign the value.

Failure using {CALL } syntax & passing string params w/ # (hash)

We are experiencing a problem calling functions using the {CALL } syntax and passing string parameters that contain # (hash) symbols. Apparently, something interprets the # inside the string literal and fails the call.
We use this syntax with procedure calls from a Java applet to an Oracle 8i database using the 8.1.6.2.0 ODBC Oracle driver. The applet is running under the Java 1.3.1 plug-in and we are using a third party JDBC, type III, driver from JDataConnect to link the applet to the Oracle ODBC driver.
Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

Execute Oracle Package Function call from FORTE

Has anyone EVER successfully execute an Oracle Package Function call from FORTE
via " sql execute procedure "?
Here's my question, I am able to execute a stored procedure but hasn't figured
out a way to execute a function which defined in a package. The syntax goes
like this: sql execute procedure <PackageName>.<FunctionName> ( input
input_parm, output output_parm). If anyone EVER successfully execute a
function, please let me know, thanks.

You'll need to provide a column alias for the function call:
select func(val) as alias from dual

Function call in FormCalc

I am trying to call a function (type4) from within a FormCalc exit event:
if ($.rawValue <> "2") then
 type4.validate()
endif
But when I run the form, I get an error saying that the "script does not have a method 'validate'."
My function definitely does have a method called 'validate', see below:
function validate() {
Can anyone help me identify what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for your help.
--Bruce

Hi,
I beleive validate() is a reserved method, so you should rename your function into validateObj() or so.
And when calling a function, the syntax looks like:
if ($.rawValue <> "2") then
 validateObj()
endif
In contrast to JavaScript FormCalc can only call functions which have been declared before the function call.
Just an example.
This script works, because the function is declared before it's called.
func alert(msg) do
 $host.messageBox(msg)
endfunc
if ($ < 2) then
 alert("value to small")
else
 alert("value ok")
endif
but this script fails, because the function call points to a function which has not be declared yet.
if ($ < 2) then
 alert("value to small")
else
 alert("value ok")
endif
func alert(msg) do
$host.messageBox(msg)
endfunc

Please send me some good links on System Function Calls

Hi,
I want to know more about System Function calls. Please send me some good links on the same.
Eg : CALL 'C_DIR_READ_NEXT'
 ID 'TYPE' FIELD file-type
 ID 'NAME' FIELD file-name
 ID 'LEN' FIELD file-len
 ID 'OWNER' FIELD file-owner
 ID 'MTIME' FIELD file-mtime
 ID 'MODE' FIELD file-mode
 ID 'ERRNO' FIELD file-errno
 ID 'ERRMSG' FIELD file-errmsg.
Rgds,

Hi,
CALL - Call a System Function:
Note
This statement is for internal use only.
It cannot be used in application programs.
As of Release 6.20, you should use Kernel Methods instead of system functions.
Syntax
CALL cfunc.
Addition:
... ID id1 FIELD f1 ... ID idn FIELD fn
Effect
Calls the system function cfunc. The relevant function must exist in the file sapactab.h. If you change or recreate a function, you have to compile and link the SAP kernel again. For this, you need the C source code files.
Normally, external programs should be called by RFC with CALL FUNCTION ... DESTINATION.
Addition
... ID id1 FIELD f1 ... ID idn FIELD fn
Effect
Passes fields to the called program by reference. With "ID id1", you specify the name of a formal parameter, and with "FIELD f1" the relevant field from the ABAP/4 program. If a formal parameter expects an internal table, the latter is passed in the form "FIELD tab[]".
Example
DATA RESULT(8).
CALL 'MULTIPLY' ID 'P1' FIELD '9999'
 ID 'P2' FIELD '9999'
 ID 'RES' FIELD RESULT.
Note
With some critical C functions, the system automatically performs an authorization check. If the user does not have the appropriate authorization, a runtime error occurs. You can check the authorization with the function module AUTHORITY_CHECK_C_FUNCTION.
Exceptions
Non-Catchable Exceptions
Cause: You do not have the authorization to call this C function.
Runtime Error: CALL_C_FUNCTION_NO_AUTHORITY
Cause: The system function specified is unknown.
Runtime Error: CALL_C_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND
Cause: The system function SYSTEM is deactivated (in CALL 'SYSTEM')
Runtime Error: CALL_SYSTEM_DISABLED

How to pass a JSP var to a Script function called in a netui:checkbox

How to pass a JSP variable to a Java Script function called in a netui:checkbox onSelect?
I have a requirement where based on the checkBox selected or deselected in a repeater tag I would have to select or deselect other checkboxes in a netui:form. I am trying to pass the index or unique name of the checkbox to the JavaScript function. When I try this code I am getting a Syntax Error!! and getting a " item undefined" in the javascript. This works when I use just the html form tag but when I use the <netui:form> tag I am facing this issue. Any help would be highly appreciated.
function selectACheckBoxOnClick(name) {
alert ("called selectACheckBoxOnClick ");
alert ("called name "+name);
<netui-data:repeater dataSource="{pageFlow.unregisteredContractAssetsDTOArr}">
<netui-data:repeaterItem>
<% String checkboxName = "selectACheckBox_"+i;
String serialNum = "serialNum_"+i;
String hidenboxName = "hiddenACheckBox_"+i;
String loopNo = new Integer(i).toString();
System.out.println("Loop String :"+ loopNo);
System.out.println("CheckBox Name:"+ checkboxName);
System.out.println("serialNum :"+serialNum); %>
<tr bgcolor="#ffffff">
<td align="center">
<netui:checkBox dataSource="{container.item.selectedAssetFlag}" onSelect="selectACheckBoxOnClick(<%=checkboxName%>);" tagId="<%=checkboxName%>"/>
</td>
 <td class="small"><netui:label value="{container.item.model}"/></td>
 <td class="small">
<netui:hidden dataSource="{container.item.splitAssetNo}" tagId="<%=serialNum%>"/>

 <td class="small">
<netui-data:getData resultId="siteId" value="{container.item.siteNo}" />
<%String siteId = (String) pageContext.getAttribute("siteId");%>
<netui:anchor action="getSiteLevelAssets" formSubmit="true">
<netui:parameter value="{container.item.siteNo}" name="siteNo" />
<netui:label value="{container.item.siteNo}" />
</netui:anchor>
</td> </tr>
<%i++;%>
</netui-data:repeaterItem>
</netui-data:repeater>
This code works within a form:
 <td align=center>
 <input type=image name="unassign" onclick="javascript:unassignReplacement(<%=replacementSupply.getPMSupplyId()%>)" src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/images/bt_sm_x.gif" border=0 alt="Unassign">
 </td>
Thanks,

hi
i did not go thru your code completly
but u can use the following for your problem
the checkbox in the repeater must have unique TagID
counter = 0; (initialize)
<netui-data:repeaterItem>
<netui:checkBox dataSource="" tagId='<%="count"+String.valueOf(counter)%>' onClick="some function()" />
<%counter++;%>
</netui-data:repeaterItem>
here if u have 3 checkbox
They will have Tagid's as count1 , count2 and count3
now in the javascript somefunction()
use the following line
for(j=0;j<<%=counter%>;j++)
document.forms(0)[getNetuiTagName"count"+j)].checked=false;
}

How to call a C function calling a Java Method from another C function ?

Hi everyone,
I'm just starting to learn JNI and my problem is that I don't know if it is possible to call a C function calling a Java Method (or doing anything else with JNI) from another C function.
In fact, after receiving datas in a socket made by a C function, I would like to create a class instance (and I don't know how to do it too ; ) ) and init this instance with the strings I received in the socket.
Is all that possible ?
Thank you very much for your help !

Hard to understand the question, but by most interpretations the answer is going to be yes.
You do of course understand that JNI is the "API" that sits between Java and C and that every call between the two must go through that. You can't call it directly.

Is it possible to get the caller object in a function call hierarchy ?

Hi,
I have a problem in hand for adding a new functionality to an existing code with MINIMAL code change. For this I need to get some extra information in a function call from its caller. And for this I do not want to change the signature of the method, as it requires a lot of code change. So I need to have a programming facility by which I can get the object from which the function was invoked. Some thing like "{code}this.CALLEROBJECT{code}".
Please let me know whether we can achieve this in JAVA. I wonder if such a facility exists in any programming language...
Thanks in advance.

Joby

No.
Youd have to buy it Germany or see if an Apple Authrorized reseller in Singapore could order you the keyboard.

 END AS ERRINDEX_4
 , a.FIELD_VALUE
 FROM TESTER.PARENT_TABLE a, TESTER.CHILD_TABLE b
 WHERE a.FIELD_PATH = b.FIELD_PATH
 UNPIVOT
 ERRINDEX
 FOR COL IN (ERRINDEX_1, ERRINDEX_2, ERRINDEX_4)
 )works as intended i.e. like a charm !
The only difference between the one that gives the ORA-03113 and the above is the way the join is written. The ANSI way (INNER JOIN) fails, the old way (WHERE clause) succeeds.
I will open a SR with Oracle so that it may be recorded and fixed.

Is it possible to pass table name as parameter to function calls?

Let's say I would like to retrieve data from table BSAD, BSID, BSIS, BSAS with the exact same WHERE conditions.
I.E.
 SELECT SINGLE * FROM bsis
 WHERE bukrs = zbukrs
 AND belnr = zbelnr
 AND gjahr = zgjahr
 AND buzei = bseg-buzei.
 SELECT SINGLE * FROM bsas
 WHERE bukrs = zbukrs
 AND belnr = zbelnr
 AND gjahr = zgjahr
 AND buzei = bseg-buzei.
Is there a way that I could put them into a function and do something like?
perform select_table_bsas using 'bsas'.
perform select_table_bsis using 'bsis'.
and I should get SELECT * FROM passed from the function calls.
Thanks.

Hello,
You can try something like this
DATA : LV_DBTAB1 LIKE DD02L-TABNAME.
DATA : DREF TYPE REF TO DATA.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <ITAB> TYPE ANY TABLE. " used to store dynamic tables
LV_DBTAB1 = 'MARA'. " in caps
CREATE DATA DREF TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF (LV_DBTAB1)
 WITH NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY.
ASSIGN DREF->* TO <ITAB> .
* chooses only english values
SELECT * FROM (LV_DBTAB1) INTO TABLE <ITAB> WHERE SPRAS = 'E'.
here, even the internal table is dynamic, but that can be static if you know the structure for sure
