How do I view a FUNCTION within a Package Body

I can see the FUNCTION being executed within the Package...
FUNCTION Stop_Refresh_AsBilled
RETURN Number;
And within Oracle SQL Developer and using the Connection and "Packages" part of the Schema, I see the Function Name. However, when I <Double-Click> on the FUNCTION Name within the Schema, it is taking me to where the FUNCTION is executed within the Package and NOT to the PL/SQL Code that actually makes up the FUNCTION.
Am I missing something here??? Maybe in my Preferences??? How can I drill down further to actually find the FUNCTION Definition and PL/SQL Code that makes up the FUNCTION within the Package Body???
I can bring up the Package Body and Search on the FUNCTION that way. I'm hoping there is an easier way however to drill down to the actual PL/SQL Code that makes up the FUNCTION.
I hope I am being clear in my explanation here.
Thanks for your review and I am hopeful for a reply.

Jim, opening the body node to see all functions and procedures sometimes does not work in 3.0
I have many packages generated by Feuerstien's CodeGen utility. The Query package appears just fine with every function and procedure appearing as expected in both header and body nodes. However, the Change Package fails miserably. Header shows all functions and procedures fine, but the body node only shows the top private declarations of variables and types. Not one function or procedure appears in the expanded node.
The only thing I can figure is that the Change package of about 30 named items has many of the same name+ with overloaded parameters. I think SQL Dev is having problems parsing the names in the body even though it does fine with the names in the header of the package--perhaps because of many private variables and PRAGMA's declared at the top of the body.
Both packages have about 30 functions, but the Change package body has over 2000 lines while the Query package has fewer than 500.
Just adding to the mystery--but I think it merits a bug report (gotta figure out where to report it now).

How do you call a function within a package using OCI in C

I am trying to call a user-defined function in Oracle 8.1.7 using OCI in C. I am getting a ORA-06550 PLS-00221, <function name> is not a procedure or is undefined. Can anyone tell me how I would call a function using OCI?
Thanks.

I think I figured it out, but I am now getting a ORA-06512 error; numeric or value error: character string buffer too small.

Need Help: Using Ref Cursor in ProC to call a function within a Package

I'm calling a function within a package that is returning a REF CURSOR.
As per the Oracle Pro*C Programmer's Guide, I did the following:
1) declared my cursor with a: EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION and declared the cursor as: SQL_CURSOR my_cursor;
2) I allocated the cursor as: EXEC SQL ALLOCATE :my_cursor;
3) Via a EXEC SQL.....END-EXEC begin block
I called the package function and assign the return value to my cursor
e.g. my_cursor := package.function(:host1, :host2);
Now, the only difference between my code and the example given in the Pro*C Programmer's Guide is that the example calls a PROCEDURE within a package that passes back the REF CURSOR as an OUT host variable.
Whereas, since I am calling a function, the function ASSIGNS the return REF CURSOR in the return value.
If I say my_cursor := package.function(:host1, :host2); I get a message stating, "PLS-00201: identifier MY_CURSOR" must be declared"
If I say :my_cursor := package.function(:host1, :host2); I get a message stating, "ORA-01480: trailing null missing from STR bind value"
I just want to call a package function and assign the return value to a REF CURSOR variable. There must be a way of doing this. I can do this easily in standard PL/SQL. How can this be done in Pro*C ???
Thanks for any help.

Folks, I figured it out. For those who may face this problem in the future you may want to take note for future reference.
Oracle does not allow you to assign the return value of a REF CURSOR from a FUNCTION ( not Procedure - - there is a difference) directly to a host variable. This is the case even if that host variable is declared a CURSOR variable.
The trick is as follows: Declare the REF CURSOR within the PL/SQL BEGIN Block, using the TYPE statement, that will contain the call to the package function. On the call, you then assign the return REF CURSOR value that the function is returning to your REF CURSOR variable declared in the DECLARE section of the EXEC SQL .... END-EXEC PL/SQL Block.
THEN, assign the REF CURSOR variable that was populated from the function call to your HOST cursor varaible. Then fetch this HOST Cursor variable into your Host record structure variable. Then you can deference individual fields as need be within your C or C++ code.
I hope this will help someone facing a deadline crunch. Happy computing !

How do i call a function within the jsp?

You can define a Java Bean (I presume you know the rules to write a Java Bean) and send the read value as parameter to the Bean and then call a function in the Bean from the JSP.

How to use the Table Function defined in package in OWB?

Hi,
I defined a table function in a package. I am trying to use that in owb using Table function operator. But I came to know that, owb R1 supports only standalone table functions.
Is there any other way to use the table function defined in a package. As like we create synonyms for functions, is there any other way to do this.
I tryed to create synonyms, it is created. But it is showing compilation error. Finally I found that, we can't create synonyms for functions which are defined in packages.
Any one can explain it, how to resolve this problem.
Thank you,
Regards
Gowtham Sen.

Hi Marcos,
Thank you for reply.
OWB R1 supports stand alone table functions. Here what I mean is, the table fucntion which is not inculded in any package is a stand alone table function.
for example say sample_tbl_fn is a table function. It is defined as a function.It is a stand alone function. We call this fucntion as "samp_tbl_fn()";
For exampe say sample_pkg is a package. say a function is defined in a package.
then we call that function as sample_pkg.functionname(); This is not a stand alone function.
I hope you understand it.
owb supports stand alone functions.
Here I would like to know, is there any other way to use the functions which are defined in package. While I am trying to use those functions (which are defined in package -- giving the name as packagename.functionname) it is throwing an error "Invalid object name."
Here I would like know, is there any other way to use the table functions which are defined in a package.
Thank you,

How can I compile all functions, procedures and packages with a script?

I need to compile all functions, procedures and packages of 5 schemas (users) with a script.
How can I do it?
Thanks!

you can create a script to select all invalid objects in those schemas Since Oracle 8 introduced NDS this approach has struck me as a trifle old fashioned. It's much simpler to loop round the query in PL/SQL and use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE to fire off the DDL statements. No scripts, no muss, no fuss.
Having said that, the problem with this approach and also with using DBMS_UTILITY.COMPILE_SCHEMA is that they do not compile all the invalid objects in dependency order. This may result in programs being invalidated by the subsequent compilation of dependencies. This is due to the introduction of Java into the database.
The UTLRP script is much better, because it (usually) avoids cyclic references. But you still may need to run it more than once.
In general it is better to avoid sledgehammer recompilations (like DBMS_UTILITY.COMPILE_SCHEMA, which starts by invalidating all the objects). If we have twenty invalid objects, nineteen of which are dependencies of the twentieth, we actually only need to recompile the master object, as recompiling it will trigger the recompilation of all the others.
Cheers, APC

Call a function in a package body

I am new to Oralce, I am tried to call a function in an exiting package body using the package specification. function.
But it failed , it says wrong numbers or types of parameters. I see the functions are defined in the package body with two definitions but different numbers of parameters. One has only one parmenter, the other has 3.
But in the packgage definition is has the function with one parameter.
So when I call using 3 parameters, it gives the error.
Why is that?
Thanks

How can I view .vi's within an executable?

Programming changes are required for a LabVIEW application. The application is built as an executable file (LabVIEW 7.1). Is there a way to access the .vi's and modify them or am I stuck having to rebuild the application from scratch? I am using LabVIEW 8.5 (FDS). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Paul
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I renamed the .exe and was able to pull up the list of .vi's but recieved a message that the .vi was not loadable. (see attached)
Oh well. I'll try again to find the person that created the .exe and see if they still have the code.
Kudos to smercurio and Mike for taking the time to help.
Have a good one.

Possible to enter hyperlinks or other type of interfile links that function within PDF Package?

We deliver our product as a PDF Package. The only apparent benefit is slightly enhanced search function and file navigation and more 'professional' appearance. BUT the huge downside is the loss of hypertext links between files.
Our product comprises 90 modules all functioning seamlessly via a "Cartesian join": every module to every module. In this way, the collection of PDFs emulates a Help product when NOT packaged and when located in a single folder. User can navigate information (interfile) via hypertext links.
Once packaged the hypertext links do not work, and even worse (i think I recall) display as errors in the PDF, so hyperlink field codes must be removed versus left in the file latent, in order to create the Package.
We removed > 5000 hyperlinks in order to package the PDFs. Now I am unsure of the benefit. The loss of dynamic links between files greatly reduces usability as users must follow hard text references to other files, and must locate the target section manually by clicking bookmarks and searching on key words, in the PDF Package. Feels like the dark ages of print.
Can anyone suggest a workaround (any type of link functionality) that enables links that dynamically open target file, when user clicks linked text IN A PDF PACKAGE (where PDFs have been packaged using the Create Package function)?
We would like to restore that functionality to our PDF deliverable while still delivering as a Package.
Thanks in advance for any responses.

I read where PDF Package was introduced in Acrobat 8. I am using Acrobat Pro 9. I went from 7 directly to 9 so I've never seen Acrobat 8. It appears to me that PDF Package you refer to has been replaced with PDF Portfolio because I don't have the option when combining files to create a package. Are you using Acrobat version 8?
I create all of my links between PDFs using an Acrobat plug-in called Compose. It has an option that allows for relative links. I've never used Word to link between documents so I don't think I can be of help. I have used InDesign for that purpose and they work for me. I do not combine my PDFs into a "package" or a "portfolio" per se. They remain as separate files just like they were on the system I created them on. I burn them to a CD, folders and all, and use bookmarks and links to navigate between all of them.
I think we are doing two completely different things so I wouldn't be much help. Sorry.

How to use xsl document() function with LiveCycle XSLT processor

Hello,
I would like to use LiveCycle XSLT processor to merge xml documents by using the xsl document() function.
However, I have not, yet, found clear reference information on the specifics of how to accomplish in LC. For instance if you have
a transformation that does merging using a standalone xml editor (such as Oxygen), than what is required to accomplish the same
using the LiveCycle XSLT service. How do you specify the URI of the XML document that is specified as an input in the xsl document() function. Your insight is appreciated. Regards

Hello Steve,
I checked the reference that you cited (XSLT Transformation). The reference omits discussing how to use xlst document() function within a stylesheet. I think that probably means that feature of xslt technology is not directly available through LiveCycle. When I find a workaround, I'll post an update...for the user community that might encounter the same issue. Thank you for your response and insight. Regards, jb1809

But don't know how to open it.
I can see the function, when right click it I have the option of the following: Refresh, copy comma separated, Test, and describe.
How can I view the function contents?
Thanks

Hi,
You can double click on that function name, you can watch one window in left side.
If you want the bebug the fuction(first you should have the debug rights) just click on test and select ok for debug result, you watch the result step by step.
