Help with column source_action_id in table pay_assignment_actions

I've searched all over and cannot find the true meaning of column source_action_id in table pay_assignment_actions. More to the point, I've inherited code that runs a relatively simple query to retrieve all specific payroll dates from pay_payroll_actions based on effective_date being between a date range. These dates are then used to pull 401k balances for the effective date. In this query, pay_payroll_actions is joined onto pay_assignment_actions solely to verify that for a given payroll, source_action_id is NOT null. If it is null, the query will not consider it for the 401k query.
I've found at least two records in pay_payroll_actions that should have been retrieved for our 401K process that were not retrieved based on that source_action_id being NULL. Can someone provide guidance on what would cause that column to not be populated? Was there possibly a step missed in our payroll process?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
It turned out that within that "large chunk of SQL", there was a package call that wasn't returning the expected results... which mucked up the rest of the SQL call.
Apparently it was a permissions issue in that the package didn't like to be called from JDBC; but would work fine out of SQL*Plus. Have you heard of this?
I ended up just throwing the first package call into an an anonymous PL/SQL block, and then doing the SQL call... both in SQLJ. Only because the app is throw-away. Otherwise I agree: it would have been better in a stored procedure/function.

Help with Joining a few tables

I need a help using JOINS. I plan to create ONE VIEW by bringing in all fields from First and Second table and a few chosen columns from Third, Fourth and Fifth tables. I have put to together below select statement which appears to be working syntax-wise but not efficient and may have dupes.
Table1 - RPT_APRL_PRODUCT with key field KEY_MATERIAL (KEY_MATERIAL = DIVISION||PLAN_CTRY||MKT_TYP_ID||MATERIAL)
Table 2 - RPT_FWEQ_PRODUCT with key field KEY_MATERIAL (KEY_MATERIAL = DIVISION||PLAN_CTRY||MATERIAL)
Table 3 - NSC_PROD_CIMG has a Key Field = MATERIAL_NBR
Table 4- STAGE#EMEA_NSAP.NSC_PROD_REG_CIMG has the Key field MATERIAL_NBR, REG_ID
Table 5 - STAGE#EMEA_NSAP.NSC_PROD_REG_CYC_CIMG has Key Fields MATERIAL_NBR, REG_ID, CYC_ID and ORGVERSIONID

Problem creating a datablock with columns from 2 tables...

Hello guys, i have a problem in creating a datablock with columns from 2 different tables. I try to create the datalock manually and in the Query Data Source Type Property i choose FROM clause query, and in the query data source name property i type my sql statement with the columns i want to display.After that i place the items that the datablock will contain , manually from the painter. However , when i run the application, the datablock doesn't display the items from the database. Am i doing something wrong?
Thanx in advance,
Regards,
Bill.

Never mind Peter, I found the error. I forgot to make execute_query for the datablock, so this was the reason why the items weren't displayed to me.
Thanx anyway a lot for your advices and your time you spent !

Please help with column float problem in IE8

Hi there,
Sorry to be so pushy - but I am desperate for help!!
Having serious problems with my site in some PC's showing Internet Explorer 8. My right column floated right is moving down the page underneath the left column..
It shows fine on IE8 on my PC - however on my clients PC (vista with IE8) it is showing up as mentioned above. Is there a fix for this.
Here is my link http://www.dooks.com/pgs/welcome.html
The css is all there! If you need anything please let me know as I need to get this sorted - I have had serious issues with this site that I have never had before with other sites and am starting to think there is a bug in my software. I redid the index page and this one page (linked above) to see what my problems are - so help with query v appreciated.
Many thanks,
Karen

How to compare array of String with column of a table

Hi,
i have a array of string(say array is of length 1000). I want to
compare those string in array with one table column
        - whether that table column has a string
                        if yes
                                        do nothing.
                        if no
                                        then insert that string into table.
        - whether table has obsolete row i.e, the one present in table and
not in array
                        then delete that row.
How do i go about this, because i see, it is not feasible to loop
through array and search table to find new string OR loop through each
row from table to find some obsolete row
How can i accomplish this task more feasibly(without running query for
each string, for comparission)? Is there any way to find this kind of
problem. I would have been easy if i had to compare two tables(with
UNION and INTERSECT), but it is not the case.
thanks,
kath.

I'm not sure, whether I understand your problem correctly. Only two comments:
- if both arrays are sorted, all can be done running exactly once simultaneously through both arrays.
- if the column is marked as UNIQUE, all column strings will be different. I.e. you cannot insert the same string a second time.

OBIEE 11G help with report narrative and table view

Hi,
I have a report designed like the below, I have used "narrative view" for customer detail and "table view" for order detail. In the narrative view I can say row = 1 and it picks up the first record of the customer detail, but order detail shows all rows. How can I control it so the order detail shows only the detail record of the customer associated. Also how do I go to the second record and so forth. Please help. If this is not possible and if there are any alternates, please let me know. Thanks for your time and help.
Customer Number:
Customer Name:
Customer Address:
Order Detail:
Line number | Order No | Order description | Order Status

Customer Number:
Customer Name:
Customer Address:
Order Detail:
Line number | Order No | Order description | Order StatusWhy don't you do this?
1) Build a dashboard prompt for Customer Number. and save to a PV.
2) Build a report with all the columns for customer and order (in Criteria View) with a filter for the PV to capture the dashboard prompt.
3) Build a pivot table with Customer Number and Customer Name in the Rows section. Put the Customer Address in the Measures section and change the Aggregation Rule to Max.
This will serve as the summary table showing only the information of the customer selected.
2) Build Pivot Table:2 with the Order details.
3) In the Compound Layout, put Pivot table one on the top and Pivot Table:2 below it.
When a customer is selected, you will have the customer data with the order details under it for that customer only.

mmm.. does anyone know what i should modify for that to work?

Need help with query joining several tables into a single return line

what i have:
tableA:
puid, task
id0, task0
id1, task1
id2, task2
tableB:
puid, seq, state
id0, 0, foo
id0, 1, bar
id0, 2, me
id1, 0, foo
id2, 0, foo
id2, 1, bar
tableC:
puid, seq, date
id0, 0, 12/21
id0, 1, 12/22
id0, 2, 12/22
id1, 0, 12/23
id2, 0, 12/22
id2, 1, 12/23
what i'd like to return:
id0, task0, 12/21, 12/22, 12/22
id1, task1, 12/23, N/A, N/A
id2, task2, 12/22, 12/23, N/A
N/A doesn't mean return the string "N/A"... it just means there was no value, so we don't need anything in this column (null?)
i can get output like below through several joins, however i was hoping to condense each "id" into a single line...
id0, task0, 12/21
id0, task0, 12/22
id0, task0, 12/23
id1, task1, 12/23
is this possible fairly easily?

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!

Whenever you have a question, it's even better if you post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for your sample data, like this:
CREATE TABLE     tablea
(       puid     VARCHAR2 (5)
,     task     VARCHAR2 (5)
INSERT INTO tablea (puid, task) VALUES ('id0', 'task0');
INSERT INTO tablea (puid, task) VALUES ('id1', 'task1');
INSERT INTO tablea (puid, task) VALUES ('id2', 'task2');
CREATE TABLE     tablec
(       puid     VARCHAR2 (5)
,     seq     NUMBER (3)
,     dt     DATE          -- DATE is not a good column name
INSERT INTO tablec (puid, seq, dt) VALUES ('id0', 0, DATE '2010-12-21');
INSERT INTO tablec (puid, seq, dt) VALUES ('id0', 1, DATE '2010-12-22');
INSERT INTO tablec (puid, seq, dt) VALUES ('id0', 2, DATE '2010-12-22');
INSERT INTO tablec (puid, seq, dt) VALUES ('id1', 0, DATE '2010-12-23');
INSERT INTO tablec (puid, seq, dt) VALUES ('id2', 0, DATE '2010-12-22');
INSERT INTO tablec (puid, seq, dt) VALUES ('id2', 1, DATE '2010-12-23');This way, people can re-create the problem and test their ideas.
It doesn't look like tableb plays any role in this problem, so I didn't post it.
Explain how you get the results from that data. For example, why do you want this row in the results:
PUID TASK DT1        DT2        DT3
id0   task0 12/21/2010 12/22/2010 12/22/2010rather than, say
PUID TASK DT1        DT2        DT3
id0   task0 12/22/2010 12/21/2010 12/22/2010? Does 12/21 have to go in the first column because it is the earliest date, or is it because 12/21 is related to the lowest seq value? Or do you even care about the order, just as long as all 3 dates are shown?
Always say what version of Oracle you're uisng. The query below will work in Oracle 9 (and up), but starting in Oracle 11, the SELECT ... PIVOT feature could help you.
i can get output like below through several joins, however i was hoping to condense each "id" into a single line... Condensing the output, so that there's only one line for each puid, sounds like a job for "GROUP BY puid":
WITH     got_r_num     AS
     SELECT     puid
     ,     dt
     ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY puid
                               ORDER BY         seq          -- and/or dt
                       )         AS r_num
     FROM    tablec
--     WHERE     ...     -- If you need any filtering, put it here
SELECT       a.puid
,       a.task
,       MIN (CASE WHEN r.r_num = 1 THEN r.dt END)     AS dt1
,       MIN (CASE WHEN r.r_num = 2 THEN r.dt END)     AS dt2
,       MIN (CASE WHEN r.r_num = 3 THEN r.dt END)     AS dt3
,       MIN (CASE WHEN r.r_num = 4 THEN r.dt END)     AS dt4
FROM       tablea    a
JOIN       got_r_num r ON   a.puid = r.puid
GROUP BY a.puid
,            a.task
ORDER BY a.puid
;I'm guessing that you want the dates arranged by seq; that is, for each puid, the date related to the lowest seq comes first, regardless of whther that date is the earliest date for that puid or not. If that's not what you need, then change the analytic ORDER BY clause.
This does not assume that the seq values are always consecutive integers (0, 1, 2, ...) for each puid. You can skip, or even duplicate values. However, if the values are always consecutive integers, starting from 0, then you could simplify this. You won't need a sub-query at all; just use seq instead of r_num in the main query.
Here's the output I got from the query above:
PUID TASK DT1        DT2        DT3        DT4
id0   task0 12/21/2010 12/22/2010 12/22/2010
id1   task1 12/23/2010
id2   task2 12/22/2010 12/23/2010As posted, the query will display the first 4 dts for each puid.
If there are fewer than 4 dts for a puid, the query will still work. It will leave some columns NULL at the end.
If there are more than 4 dts for a puid, the query will still work. It will display the first 4, and ignore the others.
There's nothing special about the number 4; you could make it 3, or 5, or 35, but whatever number you choose, you have to hard-code that many columns into the query, and always get that many columns of output.
For various ways to deal with a variable number of pivoted coolumns, see the following thread:

Help with Column Link

Using APEX 3.2.1
I have an updatable report where I have a column link (using edit icon) on one field. This is a 4000 char field so I want to go to another page where the users can easily read and/or update the field. This works and the field can be updated on the new page (with submit). However, when you branch back to the original page after the submit and then modify another field, you get the error
Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: Error in MRU: row= 1, ORA-20001: ORA-20001: Current version of data in database has changed since user initiated update process. current checksum = "1E30D234E78C21CE2B8BC54798889D9C", item checksum = "0E8201F749D53031EB3F3C557B50D387".,
Even if I get out of the updatable report or log off and on in, I still get the error. I thought maybe I could just bring the field value back to the originating page and do a submit from there, but not able to bring the value back without doing a submit.
Any ideas/help would be really appreciated!
Thanks,
Sandie

Hi ,
y dont u create the another field in the chhild table and dont use it in this table ,
or create view and mintain a foriegn with child and parent relation and then create the master detail form ,
as in ur case the report is displayed iwth older value hence given error when page is submited .
Else
u can use the functions md5 etc.,, to mainatain the consistency.

JTable - Help with column names and rowselection

Hi,
Is there anyone that can help me. I have successfully been able to load a JTable from an MS access database using vectors. I am now trying to find out how to hardcode the column names into the JTable as a string.
Can anyone please also show me some code on how to be able update a value in a cell (from ''N'' to ''Y'') by double clicking on that row.
How can I make all the other columns non-editable.
Here is my code:
     private JTable getJTable() {
          Vector columnNames = new Vector();
Vector data = new Vector();
try
// Connect to the Database
String driver = "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver";
// String url = "jdbc:odbc:Teenergy"; // if using ODBC Data Source name
String url = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=C:/Documents " +
          "and Settings/Administrator/My Documents/mdbTEST.mdb";
String userid = "";
String password = "";
Class.forName( driver );
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection( url, userid, password );
// Read data from a table
String sql = "select * from PurchaseOrderView";
Statement stmt = connection.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery( sql );
ResultSetMetaData md = rs.getMetaData();
int columns = md.getColumnCount();
// Get column names
for (int i = 1; i <= columns; i++)
columnNames.addElement( md.getColumnName(i) );
// Get row data
while (rs.next())
Vector row = new Vector(columns);
for (int i = 1; i <= columns; i++)
row.addElement( rs.getObject(i) );
data.addElement( row );
rs.close();
stmt.close();
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println( e );
          if (jTable == null) {
               jTable = new JTable(data, columnNames);
               jTable.setAutoCreateColumnsFromModel(false);
               jTable.setAutoResizeMode(javax.swing.JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_NEXT_COLUMN);
               jTable.setShowHorizontalLines(false);
               jTable.setGridColor(java.awt.SystemColor.control);
               jTable.setRowSelectionAllowed(true);
               jTable.setSelectionMode(javax.swing.ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
               jTable.setShowGrid(true);
          return jTable;
     }

this method has a default behavior to supply exactly what you're seeing: column names consisting of the capitalized letters, "A", "B", "C".Thanks Pete, had seen that but never really thought about it... about 10 days ago somebody needed to obtain Excel column names, I'd offered a rigorous solution and now see it would have been shorter and simpler (if a little heavier) to extend DefaultTableModel and provide the two additional methods needed (getOffsetCol and getColIndex).
Not much of a difference in LOC but certainly more elegant ;-)

Help with vendor email Address table

Can someone help me with this issue.
I am trying to pull out the vendor email address for all the vendors. Vendor email address are the one's which are entered in the First page on XK01. I checked on the table name and it brings up only a structure.
Please help

You can try something like this....
Example...
*Selecting the ADRNE from LFA1...
SELECT SINGLE ADRNR FROM LFA1 INTO I_ADRNR
          WHERE LIFNR = ITAB-LIFNR.
*Passing ADRNR to ADR6 to get Email...
    SELECT SMTP_ADDR INTO TABLE I_Z1EMAIL
        FROM ADR6 WHERE ADDRNUMBER = I_ADRNR.

Including an Expression in SQL Code with Columns from a Table

The code under MY CODE will not work. Getting error saying 00922-from keyword not found where expected..
In the examples I looked up, the months_between function was written as a select statement like:
Select

from mbr_exp me607
Can anyone help me with the syntax I need to include this with my SQL code as below?
Thanks..
MY CODE:
Select

Help with ecomerce and dynamic table link

I am new to dynamic pages. I am trying to build or use a
template to display my tables.
Here is an example of what I want to do.
http://www.snaz75.com/ if you
click on any of the links on the left side, it brings up the
products on the right. I know this is done through tables. I have
the website built and the tables built, but don't know how to get
the product to display dynamically without manually adding each
item.
I am using yahoo e-commerce and have downloaded their table
formats. I have all the tables created and uploaded to my hosting.
I am trying to use these tables to display my product in a simple
way. Yahoo has a site builder where you can build tables and upload
them and your product is displayed, but I am extremely limited on
the actual design of their website builder. I want to use my
website, but do essentially the same thing. How can I get the built
tables display my products. I have 1000's of products and I know
there must be a way display the item through a table using
template.. I can't imagine someone adding one item at a time to
their website. Any idea's where to start.

I have checked with method GET_ATTRIBUTE_VALUEHELP_TYPE of interface IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE_INFO, on an attribute which i know to have a search help (Foreign key of a check table).
The method returns 'N', that is the constant IF_WD_VALUE_HELP_HANDLER~CO_VH_TYPE_NO_HELP. So, the framework was not able to find a suitable search help.
Using method GET_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_HELP of the same interface, on the same attribute, returns me '111', which is constant C_VALUE_HELP_MODE-AUTOMATIC.
Therefore, the WD framework knows it has to automatically detect a value help, but fails to find one.
Also, this means in my opinion that the ALV and the dynamic external mapping are not the culprits: since node creation, no help is detected for any attribute but the date. Honestly, I don't have a clue on what's happening.

I am creating an application where I am using a custom authentication scheme and capturing all user information in a separate table. When the user logs in it will refer to the table to identify a user name and password stored in the table.
I am allowing users to create their own user accounts which will default to basic access levels. Further along in the process users will be required to select an individual to approve something. I want to use a pick list so that the approver name is entered consistently every time. The user table has the following format:
Column Name Data Type Nullable Default Primary Key
USERNAME VARCHAR2(8) No - 1
PASSWORD VARCHAR2(8) No - -
FNAME VARCHAR2(30) No - -
LNAME VARCHAR2(30) No - -
EMAIL VARCHAR2(50) No - -
ADMIN VARCHAR2(1) Yes - -
APPROVER VARCHAR2(1) Yes - -
I'd like the users to be able to select from a pick list that displays LNAME, FNAME. I don't know how to have both fields show up in a pick list.
Alternatively I'd like (if possible) to keep the two seperate fields for the creation of the user accounts so that I can get a consistent LNAME, FNAME format and people aren't entering it backwards (i.e. Smith, Joe v. Joe Smith).
If I cannot show the two fields in the picklist, is there a way where I could add a self calculating filed to the table that will concatenate LNAME", "FNAME?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

RKD,
Create a dynamic list of values.
select lname||', '||fname displayed, username returned
from user
order by 1You can display anything you want, independent of the returned value. And that includes concatenating items together (or doing other calculations/manipulations).

Need help with column formatting (see image)

I am trying to make a spreadsheet that calculates proportional image sizes of a fixed original size. I have it set up so you enter an original size on the left (see image below) and the spreadsheet calculates the proportional sizes on the right (in the pink column). I would like to know how to get Appleworks to re-list the proportional sizes while omitting the size pairs that = 0. Basically i want to display the proportional sizes in a new column without the zeros. This way the proportional sizes list is much smaller and easier to read.
Thanks for any help

Part 2
The method indicated in your original spreadsheet, and after the refinements suggested earlier, is essentially a sieve—calculate all the values, then strain out the chaff (ie. the results with non-integer values for one or both dimensions).
A more efficient approach is to calculate and display only the cases where both dimensions are integers.
Here's one way. You may want to move some of the calculations and revise the formulas accordingly.
Data Entry:
Cells B4 and C4 are used for data entry, as in the original.
Initial calculation: Find the LCF (largest common factor) Columns J, K, L and cell M1.
J1: =(B$4/ROW())=INT(B$4/ROW())
K1: =(C$4/ROW())=INT(C$4/ROW())
L1: =IF(J1+K1=2,ROW(),"")
Fill these three columns down to the largest short side dimension you expect to use (ie. if you'll use 39 x 78 inch original images, fill down to row 39).
What the formulas do:
J1: The ROW() function returns the number of the row in which the formula is located. B$4/ROW() divides the number in B4 by the number of the row. INT(B$4/ROW()) does the same division, then strips off any fractional part of the result. The second = sign is a comparison operator. The formula compares the results of the parts on each side of the sign and, if they are equal, returns TRUE (or 1), and if they are not equal, returns FALSE (or 0).
For the example (6), the formula would return TRUE in rows 1, 2, 3 and 6, marking the four factors of 6.
K1: Does the same, but for the number in C4.
For the example (8), the formula returns TRUE in rows 1, 2, 4 and 8, marking the four factors of 8.
L1: This IF() formula checks for common factors. If the cells in both columns (J and K) in a particular row contain TRUE (ie. the number of that row is a factor of both the number in B4 and the number in C4), then the sum of the two cells will be 2 (TRUE=1, FALSE=0, TRUE + TRUE = 2), and the formula will return the result of the ROW() function (ie. the number of the row). For any other result, the formula will return 'empty' (ie. what's between the two double quotes "" ).
For the example, cells L1 and L2 will contain 1 and 2 respectively; the rest of the cells in column L will be empty.
M1: =MAX(L1..L39)
M1: This formula completes the search by picking off and returning the greatest number in column L, or the Largest Common Factor for the two numbers. Adjust the second cell reference in the formula to reflect the largest original image size you'll use.
Final Calculations
D4: =B$4/$M$1*(ROW()-3)
E4: =C$4/$M$1*(ROW()-3)
D4: The formula divides the number in B4 by the LCF determined above to determine the size increment that will give integer results for both dimensions of the final image(s). It then multiplies that increment by 1 in row 4, by 2 in row 5, by 3 in row 6, and so on, for as many rows as you wish. The -3 in the second part of the formula is an offset to make the value of the multiplier three less than the row in which the formula is located.
E4: Same formula, but acting on the number in C4.
The first five results for the example ( 6 and 8) are:
3 4
6 8
9 12
12 16
15 20
and for a 4 x 6 initial image:
2 3
4 6
6 9
8 12
10 15

Barry
