Function Invoking Another Function

Trying to invoke 1 function from another function, using same parameters for each.
Trying to invoke 1 function from another function. MasterFunction has parameterX which is a dictionary Name. When attempting to call ChildFunction from within MasterFunction, and passing it the same parameter that MasterFunction has, got javascript error 'Invalid Object'.
Here is basic scenario:
MasterFunction(dictionaryName)
ChildFunction(dictionaryName);
Both of these functions are in the JavaScript function list.
Any help on this would be appreciated.

You need to pass the dictionary object, not the dictionary name. So you would pass in a parameter of "serviceForm.DictName", which is the dictionary object. Then, if your parameter name was "objDict", you would call methods against it, for example: "objDict.setVisible(false);" and "objDict.FieldName.getValue();"
If, for some reason, you do need or want to pass a string of the dictionary name, you need to use the "eval" method to get the dictionary object back: eval("serviceForm." + dictString + ".FieldName.getValue()");

How to you refer to a function in another function in a cfc

HI,
How to you refer to a function in another function in a cfc like so
<cffunction name="getApplicationConstants" access="remote" returntype="struct">
         <cfset flash.result.users = [the result from the getUsers function]>
    <cfreturn flash.result>
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="getUsers" access="remote" returntype="query">
        <cfquery name="q" datasource="#datasource#">
            select     c.*
            from    USERS as c    WHERE looksLikeUserIsDeleted = 'False'
            AND userPrivileges = 1
            ORDER BY fullName
        </cfquery>
        <cfset flash.result = q>
        <cfreturn flash.result>
</cffunction>

Hi, Nikos,
If the CFCs are in the same directory, you could do the following:
CFCA
<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="getApplicationConstants" access="remote" returntype="struct">
    <cfset flash.result.users = cfcB.getUsers() />
    <cfreturn flash.result>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
CFCB
<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="getUsers" access="remote" returntype="query">
        <cfquery name="q" datasource="#datasource#">
            select     c.*
            from    USERS as c    WHERE looksLikeUserIsDeleted = 'False'
            AND userPrivileges = 1
            ORDER BY fullName
        </cfquery>
        <cfset flash.result = q>
        <cfreturn flash.result>
</cffunction>
<cfcomponent>
If the CFCs were in different directories, the cfset expression in CFCA would be this:
<cfset flash.result.users = path.to.cfc.cfcB.getUsers() />
Where I have path.to.cfc, you would use either a mapping from CF Admin or the hierarchy of folders to the CFC from the web root.
Does that help?

Calling a Function from another Function within CFC

Hi all,
I have many functions in my CFC that do various things, but
one query is a query that selects absolutely every record from a
table.
The thing is, I need to do a query like this in another
function to obtain only a recordcount of the same table used in
both separate functions. Instead of writing the query out again,
how can I utilise the function already written?
My question is, how can I invoke and use the results of a
query in one cffunction for another cffunction in the same CFC
component?
An example may look like the code attached...
Many thanks for your patience and help!
Mikey.

For your specific case, if your requirements permit it, you
might consider caching the big query for a couple of seconds. Then
you can continously call the function and not have to wait for it
to run and bring back the data each time.
Do you mean to say that within a CFC function I can execute
the same cfinvoke tags I use in normal CFM pages?

Calling an OA Function from another function

Hi,
I need to create a link in a function that calls another function.
I've created a new Item 'Static Styled Text' writing in the destination URL 'OA.jsp?OAFunc=FUNCTION_NAME&pPersonID=&pFromMenu=Y'.
I am able to connect to the Function but the person_id parameter passed is not the right one.
To be clear I'll write down an example. I am a super user and in FUNCTION A I query an employee and enter in the function. Subsequently I click on the link I've created to view this employees information in FUNCTION B. Instead it queries my information, passing my person_id.
Can someone help?
thanks

You would need to get hold of the person id of the employee you queried, this may be a VO attribute
Once you get the person Id, you would need to set the URLs parameter value to this value.
so the URL when you are in the next pahe would look like
http://<server:port>/../OA.jsp?OAFunc=FUNCTION_NAME&pPersonID=<the value you passed>&pFromMenu=Y
Thanks

How do i call a Function from another Function ?

When i press a button, i want a series of functions to execute one after another (they contain tweens, but its irrelevant), each of them waiting for the previous to be completed. I want to put the series of functions inside one function, so i can call just this function to execute all the others. The animations are working fine, but i dont know how call Functions from within another function. Also it would be necessary each function to wait until the previous has completed, to execute. Here is a clear example of what i need to do:
boton.onPress = animate ;
Function animate () {
     animation1 (onComplete: animation2);
     animation2 (onComplete: animation3);
     animation3 ;
Function animation1 () { Tween 1};
Function animation2 () { Tween 2};
Function animation3 () { Tween 3};
any suggestions ?

I'd do something like this:
boton.onPress = animation1 ;
Function animation1 () {
     var Tween1 = new Tween();
    Tween1.onComplete = animation2;
Function animation2 () {
     var Tween2 = new Tween();
     Tween2.onComplete = animation3;
Function animation3 () {
     var Tween3 = new Tween();

Function call another function variable

Is it possible to call another function variable?
Below is my Script:
f2();
function f1() {
var v2 = 1;
function f2(v2) {
var v3= 2;
alert(v2);

Hi creativejoan0425,
Some additional notes:
> Is it possible to call access another function variable?
No, it isn't. A local variable only lives in the scope of the function (body) where it is declared. In that sense any local variable should be considered private—in OOP terms.
pixxxel schubser's solution is based on setting a global scope for the variable myA, so it is visible from every place of your code.
Another solution could be implemented using JS closure mechanism. You can create a local scope (in an anonymous function which is executed once) then return your main function and additional helpers from that scope. All inner functions have then access to the local variables that have been declared in the scope. For example, you can create your function f1 and attach a getter function to it, as follows:
var f1 = (function(/*anonymous*/__)
    // Local variable to be nested in the closure
    var v1;
    (__ = function(/*optional init value*/x)
        // Here is your *actual* function
        // do what you want with v1
        v1 = 'undefined'!=typeof x ? x : Math.random();
    ).getVar = function()
        // Here is your getter
        return v1;
    return __;
var f2 = function()
    alert( f1.getVar() );
// Process
f1('init');
f2();           // => 'init'
f1();
f2();           // => some random number
f1();
f2();           // => another random number
// etc
This way v1 remains almost private but the outer code can read it through f1.getVar().
Anyway this seems to me a complicate approach for a basic script that probably does not require high security level. Another option, really easy to set up, is to use the fact that a function is an object. Instead of declaring a local variable, just handle v1 as a (public) member of f1, as follows:
var f1 = function F(/*optional init*/x)
    // Do something with F.var
    F.v1 = 'undefined'!=typeof x ? x : Math.random();
var f2 = function()
    alert( f1.v1 );
f1('init');
f2();          // => 'init'
f1();
f2();          // => some random number
f1();
f2();          // => another random number
That's it!
> why every function need to return?
No, return is not required. By default, any function that has no return statement will simply return undefined.

Call Trusted function insidd another function.

Note: - In simple word all i want to do is to use different functions inside a function to improve the speed of my script.
i have been reading through Adobe document since last a few days, but couldn't find answer to use object name "getPageNumWords" inside my trusted function. adobe script just simply does not recognize "this" object when it is inside trusted function. I understand that i have to use some document object but how, i am not sure. can someone please help me with this issue.
var mytestfunc = app.trustedFunction(function()
app.beginPriv();

Problems calling a function from another function

Hello all.
I am trying to create a function that will loop a few other function.
Basically the main function is this
                    private function publish(event:MouseEvent):void
                        if (doPublish.label == 'Publish')
                            // create a new NetStream object for video publishing
                            nsPublish = new NetStream(nc);
                            nsPublish.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, nsPublishOnStatus);
                            // set the buffer time to zero since it is chat
                            nsPublish.bufferTime = 0;
                            // publish the stream by name
                            nsPublish.publish(publishName.text);
                            // add custom metadata to the stream
                            var metaData:Object = new Object();
                            metaData["description"] = "Chat using VideoChat example."
                            nsPublish.send("@setDataFrame", "onMetaData", metaData);
                            // attach the camera and microphone to the server
                            nsPublish.attachCamera(camera);
                            nsPublish.attachAudio(microphone);
                            doPublish.label = 'Stop';
                        else
                            // here we are shutting down the connection to the server
                            nsPublish.attachCamera(null);
                            nsPublish.attachAudio(null);
                            nsPublish.publish("null");
                            nsPublish.close();
                            doPublish.label = 'Publish';
I am then trying to call that function like this
            protected function startloop():void {
                publish(event);
But i get the error Access of undefined property event.
Any ideas on how i can call this function ? I need to call it as part of a loop against a timer..
Thanks in advance

Can't call a function inside another function

Hello,
i have the following function :
FUNCTION test_day_week (P_DATE DATE)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
BEGIN
RETURN TO_CHAR(P_DATE ,'DAY');
END;
--it returns the day name of a given date
FUNCTION TEST_DAY_NUMBER (P_DAY_NAME VARCHAR2)

     V_RESULT NUMBER;
     V_RETURN_DAY VARCHAR2(30);
     P_DATE DATE;
BEGIN
V_RETURN_DAY := test_day_week (P_DATE );
MESSAGE('V_RETURN_DAY'|| V_RETURN_DAY);
MESSAGE('V_RETURN_DAY'|| V_RETURN_DAY);
IF V_RETURN_DAY = 'MONDAY' THEN V_RESULT :=1;

END IF ;
IF V_RETURN_DAY = 'SUNDAY' THEN V_RESULT :=7;
     END IF ;
RETURN V_RESULT;
END;
--The above function returnds the day name in numbers
The proble is that when i call test_day_week function it returns no value even it is tested separatly and works fine don't know where is my problem :
1-number of argrments in function[b] TEST_DAY_NUMBER
?? and so ..!

You could also cut the whole thing down to a simple function... (assuming you have a need to customise your start of week rather than use built in date functionality)

Can a function module call another function module

Can a function module call another function module:-
within the same function group
(ii) within different function groups

Hi,
We can call function from another function. If there is a function which is like a calculator and all the operations are from different functions then we have to call the functions from the calculator function for different functions.
If all the function are from same function group, Then the data is globally available to all the functions with in the group.
Otherwise we have to declare the data definitions for each of the functions if they are in different function groups.
Yes it is possible to call a function module from another function module:-
within the same function group
(ii) within different function groups

How to return ResultSet from one function to another?

Hi friends,
Greetings.
How do we pass the query Results from one function to another function?
Actually i have a database in the server and i am the client.
Client sends the id to the server as an argument. From HTML file this goes to the JSP file(which i am using as a link between HTML and EJB) and then this goes to the RemoteInterface and then to the Bean itself. The functions are written in the bean. Bean connects to the database using jdbc:odbc driver and then a query is written and executed as follows:
In the Stateless Session Bean, there is one function with the following query.
public ResultSet check(String id)
//other code
ResultSet rs = Statement.("select * from table1 where id=123");
if(!rs.next)
// print no such id exists. other ids are
rs=Statement.("select * from table1");
return rs;
I have written it approximately only because the problem is not with the query :(
Now, in rs there's a resultset. Now how do i display it in a tabular format in HTML? This should obviously be done using JSP. How can we do it?
In JSP file if i write
ResultSet rs1=Remote.check(12);
i get NullPointerException
Thank you in anticipation to your reply!
Regards

Combing rounding functions with other functions

I am using hyperion reports. Is it possible to combine a rounding function with another function? Specifically, I am taking a variance of actual vs budget where actual and budget are % of total functions. The variance I am getting is off (see ex. below.) I need to keep the actual and budget at 1 decimal point. To correct this problem in excel I am able to round the numbers pulled in by essbase. The ex. below illustrates my problem. Actual .2% Budget .2% Variance .1%

You may want to make a 'Scenario' for rounding that is rounding the input data. If you make it (variance) 2pass, it will show the difference of the rounded numbers (ie. 0%)Rich [email protected]

How to invoke a function with arguments in JSTL expressions

Hi ,
I want to know how to send arguments in the JSTL expression.
I have a scenario like this
for (int i=0; i<nicList.size(); i++)
                      NavigationItemControl nic = nicList.get(i);
                      ni = nic.getNavigationItem();
                      //scr
                      if (nic.isAvailable(Mask.SYSTEM))
                      { %>
                        <option value="<%=ni.getInternalHandle()%>" <% if(pi.getNavigationItemHandle().equals(ni.getInternalHandle())) {%>selected<%}%> ><%=nic.getLabel()%></option>
                      <%
                    }   I was changed these code into JSTL ,the new one is
<c:forEach var="nic" items="${nicList}">
                                             <c:set var="ni" value="${nic.navigationItem}"/>

                                        </c:forEach>in the above code I have problem with nic.isAvailable(Mask.SYSTEM),
Can any one help me on this how can I invoke a function in JSTL with arguments.
-Bhaskar

JSTL can only handle getter/setter methods. You can't pass parameters to the methods.
There are a couple of ways around this
1 - set up "mask" as a seperate attribute of the NavigationItemControl bean.
ie getMask() setMask()
and then have your isAvailable method as
public boolean isAvailable(){
    return internalIsAvailable(getMask());
}Another solution is to define a static function and invoke it as a function.
public static boolean navigationAvailable(NavigationItemControl, Mask);
What does the isAvailable() method do? How complicated is it?
Hope this helps,

Call a function from another software

hello,
Iam working on a program where i have to invoke a function from another software, is there any way i can do that? someone told me that i can use RMI to invoke the function but it seems to me like RMI is mainly for networked and distributed systems. any suggestions? i have an idea in my mind, if the software is programmed using c/c++ i can use the native coding to access the functions, well this is only a blind shot, not sure about it.
asrar

Hey asrar,
It is possible to call external programs from within the JVM. You need to do the following:
Process p = java.lang.Runtime.getInstance().exec("some.exe");
You can then do the following:
p.waitFor();
This will block until the process returns.
The Process class gives you access to 3 streams.
p.getInputStream(); returns a stream that the process sends to stdout.
p.getErrorStream(); returns a stream that the process sends to stderr.
p.getOutputStream(); returns a stream that allows you to send data to the process.
That is basically all you get.
