Help Reqd Using SPOOL

Hi,
I am using SPOOL command to save result returned by the SQL command to a file.
1. In the select statement I have 10 fields being retrieved, how do I separate them by comma when the result in written to the file.
2. The result for one record in not stored in one line in the file. It is distributed in 2-3 lines. How do I a make sure that each record retrieved corresponds to one line in the file saved.
My ultimate is to generate a CSV file from the result retrieved by the SQL statement.
Thanks in advance,
Raja

I guess the answers to your questions do not need a master degree in IT, but for once...
1. In the select statement I have 10 fields being
retrieved, how do I separate them by comma when the
result in written to the file.Either use SELECT col1, ',', col2... or, if using SQL*PLUS, do set the COLSEP to fit your needs.
>
2. The result for one record in not stored in one
line in the file. It is distributed in 2-3 lines. How
do I a make sure that each record retrieved
corresponds to one line in the file saved.Try SET LINESIZE. It's amazing what a bit of curiosity can do... ;)

Email multiple spools from background job - SM36 using Spool List recipient

I create a background job using Spool List Recipient to email me the reports. The program that I scheduled to run creates 2 spools. When the spools are sent via email, only the last spool is sent.
Please advise on how I can get the 2 spools sent via email.

i would not use the Spool List recipient from Job and use the function RSPO_SPOOLJOB_TO_OFFICE in your Program instead.
tell me if it helps.

Preserve a single space at the end of line using spool command

Hi,
Can you please help me to write the result of an sql query into a file with the last column of the row ending with a single space?
For example:
COL1DATA|COL2DATA|COL3DATA<space1>
As mentioned in the example the col3 value in the file should end with a single space. And there should not be any delimiters at the end of the row.
I tried with set trimspool on/off. But, it didn't work. When I say trimspool on - it is trimming all the trailing spaces.
When I say trimspool off - it is retaining all the trailing spaces to the size of the line.
But, I do not wish to modify the file through shell commands once it is written thru spool. I mean I do not wish to append spaces to the end of a line using shell script or any other method.
I do not wish to use other methods like UTL_FILE also.
Please help me how to do it using spool command?
Thank you.
Ramana

My requirement is that all the trailing spaces should be truncated except the last one in the row.Why?
As you have discovered a single column in sqlplus, is always a fixed length regardless of the size of the data, if the length of the data varies the output is padded to the maximum or line size with spaces. The trim and trimpsool commands are there to remove all the spaces from the end of a line if there are any. There are no commands to trim all the spaces except one, or even to trim all the spaces except two, or three even.
If you want such custom processing you should post process the file in the OS using sed, awk or perl or something designed for such things.

Urgent Help Reqd: Delta Problem....!!!

Hi Experts,
Urgent help reqd regarding follwoing scenario:
I am getting delta to ODS 1 (infosource : 2LIS_12_VCHDR) from R/3. Now this ODS1 gives delta to Cube1. I got one error record which fails when going to cube (due to master data check).And this record would be edited later.
So I thought of re loading cube and using error handling to split request in PSA and load valid records in cube.Later when I have coorect info abt error, I would load erroneous record manually using PSA.
I did following steps:
1)Failed request is not in cube...(setting is PSA and then into target)....also it has been deleted from PSA.
2)Remove data status from source ODS1.
3)Change error handling in infopackage to valid " Valid records update, reporting possible".
4)start loading of cube.
But when I did this I got following message :
<b> "Last delta update is not yet completed.Therefore, no new delta update is possible.You can start the request again if the last delta request is red or green in the monitor"</b>
But both my requests in cube and ODS are Green...no request is in yellow...!!
Now the problem is :
1) I have lost ODS data mart status
2)how to load valid records to cube, since errorneous record can be edited only after 3- 4 days.
3)How not to affect delta load of tomorrow.
Please guide and help me in this.
Thanks in advance and rest assured I will award points to say thanks to SDNers..
Regards,
Sorabh

So how to go frm here....

Using spool in a procedure

Hi,
I've a package with 6 procedures.
In one procedure I need to load the data into a flat file. The procedure contains only one select statement.
example:
procedure pro_test as
select * from emp;
end pro_test;
Shell script is being used to call one procedure inside the package and that procedure is calling remaining procedures inside it.
connected to database using sqlplus.
Can anyone help me out how I can spool the select statement inside the procedure. Version of oracle is 11g.

Hi,
Why do you want to do
SELECT *
FROM    table_name;
inside the procedure? Why not have your script run the procedure (without the query above), and then do that query afterwards, when you can use SPOOL to put the results in a file?
If you really must write a file from a procedure, here's an example of how to use utl_file.
First, SYSTEM (or some other user with the CREATE ANY DIRECCTORY system privilege) must create a directory, and grant privileges to use it. For example:
CREATE OR RPLEACE DIRECTORY a_dir AS 'C:\Foo\A_Folder';
GRANT ALL ON DIRECTORY a_dir TO PUBLIC;
Typically, SYSTEM does this once, and other people use it hundreds of times.
You might create a file in that directory like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE write_dept
IS
    f utl_file.file_type;
BEGIN
    f := utl_file.fopen ('A_DIR', 'Dept.txt', 'W');
    FOR r IN ( SELECT *
                   FROM    scott.dept
    LOOP
        utl_file.put_line ( f
                          , TO_CHAR (r.deptno, 'FM00')
                            || ' '
                            || RPAD (r.dname, 15)
                            || r.loc
    END LOOP;
    utl_file.fclose (f);
END write_dept;

Using spool no send to printer

Hi All

Rama

Hi,
First for print preview you have to set the printer you want to use , this printer has to be define in your sap system and shouldn't be LOCL because SAP System need to retrieve tpye information of the printer.
Now if you want to print directly your form to the printer you have to set the OUTPUTPARAMS with correct value .
Here is the definition of structure OUTPUTPARAMS :
nodialog : No printer Dialog Popup
noprint : no backend printing
nopdf : no PDF document, only PDL
getpdf : PDF as return parameter
dest : Output device
copies : Number of copies requested
reqnew : start a new spool job
reqfinal : Spool request completed .
Hope this help you
Regards

i tried to get the installation disc for the camcorder but mac wont' recognize it becaue it is windows based i guess.
i just bought the camcorder a few months ago and when my computer crashed thought i'm finally getting a mac...it's been a costly venture which has resulted in more frustration than before my pc.
now the things i want to use with my mac that i thought would be even simpler...are not even useable...

That camera shoots H.264 in an .avi wrapper.
You will have to transfer the files via the Finder.
Get a free copy of MPEG Streamclip and convert them to QuickTime .mov using the H.264 codec if you are presumably editing in iMovie.
Note that your list of video codecs won't look like mine as I have Final Cut Pro, but H.264 is definitely an option for you.

Attachments help - C# using Obect API

I'm in my first attempt at integrating GW functionality into a C# application. I am not an expert C# programmer either. Thus far I've been successful at getting logged into GW, creating a new mail message and sending it successfully. However adding code to attach a file to my message returns an exception from the GroupwareTypeLibrary with the unhelpful error message "Unknown Error". Below is my code. If I comment out the line:
objMessage.Attachments.Add("c:\reg.log",1,"reg.log ");
the program runs successfully, happily sending my mail to the recipent mailbox. I know the c:\reg.log file exists and I have permissions to it.
Any advice as to what I'm doing wrong would be of tremendous help, as I've already search and cruised all the forums on GW API I can find to no avail. Running GW 7.03 I think on client and server side.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using GroupwareTypeLibrary;
namespace GWEmailTest
class Program
public static void Main()
GroupwareTypeLibrary.Application objApplication = new GroupwareTypeLibrary.Application();
GroupwareTypeLibrary.Account objAccount;
GroupwareTypeLibrary.Messages objMessages;
GroupwareTypeLibrary.Message objMessage;
GroupwareTypeLibrary.Folder objMailBox;
GroupwareTypeLibrary.Recipients objRecipients;
GroupwareTypeLibrary.Recipient objRecipient;
objAccount = objApplication.Login("dpuls", "", "password", "", "");
objMailBox = objAccount.MailBox;
objMessages = objMailBox.Messages;
objMessage = objMessages.Add("GroupwareTypeLibrary.Message",4," ");
objRecipients = objMessage.Recipients;
objRecipient = objRecipients.Add("dpuls","","");
objMessage.Subject.PlainText = "Here's the message from C#!.";
objMessage.BodyText.PlainText = "Here's the report you wanted.";
objMessage.Attachments.Add("c:\reg.log",1,"reg.log ");
objMessage.Send();

Markus,
Thanks so much for your quick reply. I appreciate your willingness to help me overcome my ignorance. Here's what I found:
objMessage = objMessages.Add("GW.MESSAGE.MAIL", 4);
results in a C# compiler error "no overload method for 'add' requires '2' arguments". This tells me the third paramater is required for the GroupwareTypeLibary COM object, so I added the third null parameter back in, eliminating the compiler error. Then I still got the same "unknown error" exception back from the COM library as before.
So I went back to my shotgun approach of trying variations on parameter passing (instance variables instead of literals, etc). I noticed at one point when I tried another test file that I got a compiler error on a string literal of the path\filename "c:\csharptest.txt". Aha, says I ......
To make a long story short, by happenstance, my "c:\reg.log" parameter gets read in C# as containing an escape sequence reference, i.e. "\r" and when I changed to another test file it read "c:\csharptest.txt" as an INVALID escape sequence "\c". The fix then was to correct the problem of the reading of escape sequences in my string literal by changing my line of code to :
objMessage.Attachments.Add(@"c:\reg.log","1","");
Problem solved! Thanks again for your help.

The function "Add()" takes only 2 parameters, 'ClassName' + 'ObjType'.
'ClassName' stands for the sort/subtype of message you'd like to create.
'ObjType' stands for 'draft' or 'personal'
Try the following:
objMessages = objMailBox.Messages;
objMessage = objMessages.Add("GW.MESSAGE.MAIL", 4);
The rest should be fine; the code for adding the attachment seems OK.
