Help with Package variables/constants

Hi All,
I have a function which uses package variables and constants.
I am seeing the following strange behavior when I execute the
function. Here is what I did.
1) I opened a SQL* plus session and executed my function couple
of times. It worked very well and gave me the correct return
value.
2) I left the session idle for about 3 hours. ( did not
disconnect.)
3) I came back after 3 hours and ran the same query, it gives
me null value. (error message says PL/SQL numeric or value
error).
4) I disconnected the session and executed the function on the
new session. I got my result back.
Does this scenario looks something familiar to you? If so, could
you pl. advise where it could go wrong? (is it a bug with oracle
8?) P.S. I used dbms pipe package calls also in my package.
Thanx
rk

strange.. test it one more time in same way..if it happens again
submit TAR.

Help with Report Variables

I have been doing battle with the SBO Customer Receivables Aging Report. I am trying to add the fields "Customer Reference" and "Creation Date" to the Repetitive area of the report with no success. All of the existing fields are variables, and the on-line help says to contact SAP support (which would be me) for help with changing variables. Does anyne have a list of these variables, or know how to define them?
Many thanks,
Mike.

Hi Mike Stroud, i'm actualy also working on the customer ageing report. You also responded to my post. It was the reports one. Well, im not sure about the variables but i simply wrote a query that brings all that info and more up. But i'm having problems diplsying it. In the normal SAP report/print layout, if i make the report based on the query it doesn't let me move the info from the repetitive area to the header....why.....can you get around this??? I then did it in the advanced layout but the first page is always wrong. What do you want to do with the variables?? what are you trying to achieve with the report because me and my coleagues have had a BIG problem with the ageing.

Guess I do need a little help with packages after all...

Tried figuring in this out for the past 3 hours, various searches, scenarios etc...b4 posting....
Okay, well....just like many aspects of this language, think I've got it down, and a
new situation comes up where I can't implement it....in this case my own packages.
(which is frustrating, but good because teaches troubleshooting, ingranes
things into my peanut)
Have done it before through tutorials...but now am having an issue...here we go:
These are very small files..... 3 classes/one main
http://www.cadenhead.org/book/24java/chapter10.shtml
(see bottom for direct links)
What I did first was put them in c:\java\2\modems
compiled them all, everthing works great.
#2
I deleted the class files, and put all of the source into: c:\java\2\
#3
I edited the first 3 files to have the very first line ot each say:
package com.modempack;
No other edits, just this simple copy/paste at the top of each of those files
#4
For the file TestModems.java the only edit made was to put the following line at the top of the file:
import com.modempack;
#5 Compiled the first 3 files with the command "javac -d . FILENAME.java"
they compile fine(you have to compile Modem.java 1st)
#6 Try to compile the TestModems.java file with the same style or even just "javac Testmodems.java" and get the following error:
C:\java\2>javac TestModems.java
TestModems.java:1: package com does not exist
import com.modempack;
^
TestModems.java:5: cannot access CableModem
bad class file: .\CableModem.java
file does not contain class CableModem
Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpa
th.
CableModem roadRunner = new CableModem();
^
2 errors
It says package "com" does not exist" ...but it's created automatically when compiling the 1st 3 files....am at a lost.........could only think classpath issue somehow.....
CableModem.java
http://www.cadenhead.org/book/24java/source/chapter10/CableModem.java
DslModem.java
http://www.cadenhead.org/book/24java/source/chapter10/DslModem.java
Modem.java
http://www.cadenhead.org/book/24java/source/chapter10/Modem.java
TestModems.java(the main app)
http://www.cadenhead.org/book/24java/source/chapter10/TestModems.java

Thank you for your response once again
(assigned u the dukies from last thread)
Argggghhhh!!!!! / Yippie Kayay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man oh man... HUGE headache....(wanting to studying the stuff from last post you helped on...having troubles with freaking packages SUCKS:) :) :)
(but...will am learning, so that's good)
Sooo....
I put the actual ".java" files in the same directories, but that did not make a difference....
So what I did was use the fully qualified /explicit name for each class.
IE:
import com.modempack;Gives the original 2 errors....that the above package does NOT exist??? wtf
import com.modempack.*;Gives a single bad class erro
Using either of the above and the following command:
javac -classpath TestModems.javagives "no source files found"
Using either of the above and the following command:
javac -classpath c:\java\2\com\modems TestModems.javaYielded 5 errors of cannot resolve symbol
Using: *****************************
import com.modempack.Modem;
import com.modempack.CableModem;
import com.modempack.DslModem;and adding public in fron of the int[/code" variable....WORKS
It is my understanding that
import javax.swing.*;
does NOT import everything with the swing library, so when thinking
along those lines, this makes 100% sense....I just thought that with packages
you could provide one, and everything else in the package is imported, ie: if you have a package with 500 classes in it, you wouldn't want 500 import lines....something seems like something
must be wrong with the class files or something/classpath still or else this would work somehow???
Well...going to go mess around somemore, just an update.
Thank you again

Help with bind variables

Hello I'm new to .net and I'm trying to work with bind variables
I keep getting the ORA-01036: illegal variable name/number error.
here's my code, can somebody help me out and show me what am I doing wrong?
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim drLocation As OracleDataReader = getSCLocation("SOMEBODY")
End Sub
Private Function getSCLocation(ByVal contactName As String) As OracleDataReader
Dim drLocation As OracleDataReader
Dim connString As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("scConnString").ConnectionString
Dim conn As New OracleConnection(connString)
conn.Open()
Dim queryString As String = "select a.location, a.location_name from locationm1 a where a.primary_contact_dept in (select b.dept from contactsm1 b where b.contact_name = p_contactName)"

Dim cmdLocation As New OracleCommand(queryString, conn)
cmdLocation.Parameters.Add(p_contactName)
drLocation = cmdLocation.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
Return drLocation
End Function
Thanks
Peter

never mind i got it by playing around with it
had to change the way to start the bind variable
Dim p_contactName As New OracleParameter("p_contactName", OracleType.VarChar)
p_contactName.Size = 140
p_contactName.Value = contactName

Need help with accesing variable with xpath.

Hi All,
I need help with xpath in "Switch" BPEL construct. Switch is used to compare value assigned to output vairable and follow one path for "Deny" and another for "Approve". The following is data type for output variable.
<element name="processResponse">
     <complexType>
          <sequence>
               <element name="result" type="string"/>
          <sequence>
     <complexType>
</element>
The following expressions in Switch statement throw lava.lang.Exception. It error is xpath internal error".
x20:compare('Deny',$outputvariable.payload/client:result)
x20:compare('Deny',bpws:getVariableData('outputvariable','payload','/client:processResponse/client:result')
It works with x20:compare('Deny','Deny'). So I assumed it must be accessing the variable.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Satish

Cany you try the following
x20:compare('Deny',string($outputvariable.payload/client:result))
x20:compare('Deny',string(bpws:getVariableData('outputvariable','payload','/client:processResponse/client:result'))

Please help with Load Variables / ASP

Hello,
I am using Load Variables to retreive a variable from an ASP
page, (which uses a response.write) to output the variable
getfile.onRelease = function()
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function(success){
if(success) {
getfile_txt.text = this.strString;
} else {
getfile_txt.text = "error";
myData.load("sendFile.asp");
stop();
the problem is that the output says "undefined", but when I
access the .asp page through my web browser I get the expected
result of the variable which is "Test1.Doc"
if any1 can help with this, i would be massivley thankful,
thanks.

p.s strString is the variable that I am trying to pass from
the ASP page.

Help with packages and classpath

Heya,
first off, i use textpad to compile my java, i don't do it via the command line.
my problem is faily simple, i think. i've got a main class and i'd like it to import a custom class from a subdir.
Main class is in
C:\Documents and Settings\David\Desktop\java\test_gen.java
I would like it to import
C:\Documents and Settings\David\Desktop\java\obj_data\objects.java
I understand that I have to declare objects.java to be a part of a package, so i head the code with: package obj_data; as i understand it, the directory in which the package to be imported resides in will be named the same as the package.
When i import my package into test_gen.java, i import obj_data as follows:
import obj_data.*;
this should import objects.class and any other classes in the same directory. also import obj_data.objects.*; could be used.
Anyway, thats my understanding of how you set up the class and package; i also understand that when the java file compiles the compiler looks at the directoy(s) indicated in the class path for the classes to import. that in mind i tried to add:
C:\Documents and Settings\David\Desktop\java\obj_data\
to my classpath. i did this via dos, javac -classpath "C:\Documents and Settings\David\Desktop\java\obj_data\"
i got no error messages, so i assume it worked. however when i try to compile the main java (test_gen) i get-
package packages does not exist
import packages.*;
^
1 error
Tool completed with exit code 1
can anyone give me some help please?

This is a minimal explanation of packages.
Assume that your programs are part of a package named myapp, which is specified by this first line in each source file:
package myapp;
Also assume that directory (C:\java\work\) is listed in the CLASSPATH list of directories.
Also assume that all your source files reside in this directory structure: C:\java\work\myapp\
Then a statement to compile your source file named aProgram.java is:
C:\java\work\>javac myapp\aProgram.java
Explanation:
Compiling
A class is in a package if there is a package statement at the top of the class.
The source file needs to be in a subdirectory structure. The subdirectory structure must match the package statement. The top subdirectory must be in the classpath directory.
So, you generate a directory structure C:\java\work\myapp\ which is the [classpath directory + the package subdirectory structure], and place aProgram.java in it.
Then from the classpath directory (C:\java\work\) use the command: javac myapp\aProgram.java
Running
Compiling creates a file, aProgram.class in the myapp directory.
(The following is where people tend to get lost.)
The correct name now, as far as java is concerned, is the combination of package name and class name: myapp.aProgram (note I omit the .class) If you don't use this name, java will complain that it can't find the class.
To run a class that's NOT part of a package, you use the command: java SomeFile (assuming that SomeFile.class is in a directory that's listed in the classpath)
To run a class that IS part of a package, you use the command java myapp.aProgram (Note that this is analogous to the command for a class not in a package, you just use the fully qualified name)

Need help with maintaining variable choices in new session

I have a flash app. set up with several variables. Is there a
simple action script that will allow the user to maintain their
choices after closing the .swf and re-launching it?
Thanks in advance for your help.

how are you checking if those components have been checked or
ticked. actually, i probably don't want to know that.
you really should be using a listener to detect when your
components have changed and then you can use the changed method to
set your variables and update your sharedobject.

A little bit of help with Bind variables please

Hi,
I am having a bit of trouble with bind variables I have been looking at the Dev guide and the forum to try and achieve this and it is still not happening for me, could anybody please help or point me in the right direction:
I have created a simple PersonVO with the basic query:
Select distinct full_name from xxml_people where person_id = :1
In the PersonVOImpl.java I have added the method:
public void initQuery(String personId)
Number person = null;
try
person = new Number(personId);
catch
(Exception e){}
setWhereClauseParam(1,person);
executeQuery();
Then in the PersonAM I have added the method:
public void initPersonQuery(String personId)
getPersonVO1().initQuery(personId);
I then call this method in my processRequest section of my page controller:
PersonAMImpl am = (PersonAMImpl) pageContext.getRootApplicationModule();
String personId = "581";
am.initPersonQuery(personId);
When I try and run this I get the error:
oracle.apps.fnd.framework.OAException: oracle.jbo.SQLStmtException: JBO-27122: SQL error during statement preparation. Statement: SELECT distinct full_name from xxml_absence_calendar where person_id = :1
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01006: bind variable does not exist
Am I binding the variables correctly? Or am I making some stupid mistake?
I am ultimately looking to create a messageChoice where the logged in user will see a list of all organisations underneath him and the one level above. I plan to do this by passing the User’s Organisation name into a VO query using the organisation as a Bind Variable. I think once I have worked out how to bind variables this should be straight forward.
Many Thanks

Even though the parameter binding values may be same, you should never use the positional param more than once. So always go for the format
select distinct full_name from xxml_people where supervisor_id = :1
UNION
select distinct full_name from xxml_people where person_id = :2

Help with Package Label Design

Hi, I work for a one of the fortune 500 company as a helpdesk. Last month my company came out with a go green logo and when I saw I decide to create one. I showed the logo to my Director and my director forwarded the design to the Marketing department. They really like the design, but they couldn't use it because they already pay a design company for that logo and the logo were already print on the market. What happen next, is that they send me an email Yesterday asking me if I'm interest in getting an interview for a packaging designer job and the interview is going to be for next month. Now, I have no experience with packaging, label and printing and they know that, but I will like to surprise the with couple of design. I would like to know what software do I need to use from design to printing and if there is any good website with good tutorials. Thanks

They probably liked your style ( on the green logo ) and want to incorporate it into their packaging. You should be honest and tell them you do not have any experience. They'll probably bring you in at "entry level" so they can groom you to their corporate culture. You'll probably be working under a senior designer and will probably spend a few months learning how things are done. I'd imagine you'll need some basic knowledge of Illustrator and Photoshop, if not some intermediate level capabilities with both programs.
Now, if you want to impress them, find a current package the company had produced in the last few years. Pull it apart and get it to lie flat. Re-create the entire piece using Illustrator. This will include a spot layer with dies. Focus on improving the design and look of the piece, but make sure you do not copy what has already been done. Come up with something original and incorporate your version of the "green" logo. It does not have to be anything out-of-sight, but shows you know the company, you know how to improve the existing packaging out there, and you'll show initiate. They'll probably never use it ( like your "green" logo, but will get you the job ).
This will take you some time. I do not know of any web tutorials, but both Illustrator and Photoshop come with a few. You could also go to a local bookstore and take alook at what they have in their "graphic design" section. Some books come with a CD that has some templates and files you can take a look at.
There must be a void they're looking to fill, otherwise you'd never get the interview. Don't get too stressed out trying to impress them. They're already impressed. But, if you "claim" to know it all in software, you'll be doing yourself a huge injustice. Talent does not come in a box. Sounds like they're willing to get you started, so go for it.

Help with multiple variable

I'm trying to write a query which pulls shipment information
from an access database. Then it grabs the weight of each shipments
and multiplies it by the corresponding rate depending on its weight
class.
I'm using the CFIF, CFELSEIF and CFSET tags to try to
accopmlisht this, making it look something like this
<CFIF "Shipments.weight" LT 500 >
<cfset Shipments.rate = 7.5 >
<CFELSEIF "Shipments.weight" GT 499 LT 1000 >
<cfset Shipments.rate = 7 >
<CFELSEIF "Shipments.weight" GT 999 LT 2000 >
<cfset Shipments.rate = 6.5 >
<CFELSEIF "Shipments.weight" GT 1999 LT 5000 >
<cfset Shipments.rate = 5 >
<CFELSEIF "Shipments.weight" GT 4999 >
<cfset Shipments.rate = 3.65 >
</CFIF>
then in the Output tag I use this CFSCRIPT
<cfscript>
WriteOutput(#ACC_Report.weight#/100*#Shipments.rate#);
</cfscript>
It runs fine but it only seems to grab either the first or
the second set rate variables and multiplies all the weights in the
output query by it, inetead of logically choosing its weight class.
Any help, perhaps I'm using the wrong logic.
Thanks in advance

"There's no such thing as "greater-than-ness" on string data"
Adam, everything you said is basically true and relevant to
the original
poster's issue. But this line is wrong is it not? Isn't
comparing one
string to another and determining which is greater or lesser
the essence
of sorting a set of strings into an alphabetical order?
Now, I am not sure I can remember the last time I had to
write my own
sort routine. But I am pretty sure when I did for sorting
string data,
I communally compared one to another to see which was greater
and|or
lesser then the other.
To reiterate in the original post, the person is comparing
the string
constants "Shipments.weight" to the numbers do to the
improper quotes,
not the value in the Shipments.weight variable.
Also, if one cares, the logic could be greatly simplified
with some
basic boolean logic. The lower range comparisons are
unnecessary.
<CFIF Shipments.weight LT 500 >

<cfset Shipments.rate = 7.5 >
<CFELSEIF Shipments.weight LT 1000 >

<cfset Shipments.rate = 7 >
<CFELSEIF Shipments.weight LT 2000 >

<cfset Shipments.rate = 6.5 >
<CFELSEIF Shipments.weight LT 5000 >

<cfset Shipments.rate = 5 >
<CFELSE>

<cfset Shipments.rate = 3.65 >
</CFIF>

Hi,
The parser does not under variables directly in dml statements.u need to form a statement and the parse and execute the same...
so the soln is
Declare
lv_stmt varchar2(250);
Begin
lv_stmt := 'Delete from '| |ls_prev_table;
execute immediate lv_stmt;
-- Same is the case with the insert stmt--
End;
This should solve ur problem.
u could also give a direct call like
execute immediate 'Delete from '| |ls_prev_table ;
Note: This statement "execute immediate" holds good for oracle versions 8.x and above which makes the stmt very simple. For lower version u need to use the dbms_sql package to parse and execute the statement which has a series of statements for the same.

Help with bind variable

I am very new to this site so I hope I get the format right...
I am using Oracle Application Express Edition and trying to answer a question for my class, but I keep getting the same error every time. I've looked it up and it's apparently a storage error, but I don't understand how it can be a storage error if I'm not able to store it in the first place. So confused! Please help!
Here's my code and the error I keep getting:
DECLARE

Don't mix SQL*Plus and PL/SQL syntax. In PL/SQL there is no VARIABLE keyword, just remove it.
See http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e25519/fundamentals.htm#LNPLS208.
With this:
set echo on
set serveroutput on
DECLARE
b_basic number;
b_pf number;
today DATE:=SYSDATE;
tomorrow today%TYPE;
BEGIN
b_basic:=45;
b_pf:=12;
tomorrow:=today +1;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Hello World ');
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('TODAY IS : '|| today);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('TOMORROW IS : ' || tomorrow);
END;
/you get with SQL*Plus command line:
SQL> set serveroutput on
