How to pass arguments to .sql file.......

Hello,
I want to pass arguments to .sql file which is being called from within a shell (.sh).
suppose this is the line in shell -
${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/sqlplus -s abcuser/abcuser@abc < ${ABCDB_DIR}/A.sql $val >>${LOG}
- now I want to pass '123456' to A.sql
Please suggest how to do that.
Thanks and regards,

You can pass parameters to a shell script executing sql commands just like you would any other shell script.
I have a script called test_os_variables.sh:
sqlplus -s "/ as sysdba" << EOF
select '$1' from dual;
EOF
Now I execute my script passing SHAWN as a parameter.
./test_os_variables.sh SHAWN

How to pass argument in manifest file

Hi,
I want to pass argument to main class in jar. Is there any option in manifest file.

Hmm..
Seems that my sentence above isn't so correct.
It possible to add custom attribute: value pairs into manifest file and
read it later from Java class.
Here is code sample:
public class ManifestTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            java.util.jar.JarFile jar = new java.util.jar.JarFile(System.getProperty("java.class.path"));
            for (java.util.Iterator it = jar.getManifest().getMainAttributes().keySet().iterator();it.hasNext();) {
                Object curKey = it.next();
                System.out.println("key: " + curKey + ", value: " + jar.getManifest().getMainAttributes().get(curKey));
        } catch (Throwable t) {
            System.out.println("exception occured: " + t);
}

How to pass argument in main function ?

How to pass arguments in main function of one class from another class ?
I don't want to pass argument from command prompt.
I want to try something like this -
class Test{
public static void main(String args[]){
for(int i=0;i<args.length;i++)
     System.out.println(args);
class Fun{
public static void main(String args[]){
     Test t=new Test("Hello","good bye");
when i run Fun class it gives error.
Suggest me how can i do that.

In Fun class main method does not take arguments that is fine. In Test class instead of main method you can have constructor to take input parameters as suggested by BalusC
However, if you want to make your existing code work, you can call (though not appropriate) main() method of Test class from main() method of Fun class (As main() method is static object is not required to invoke this):
Test.main(new String[]{"Hello","good bye"});Here is your code:
class Test{
public static void main(String args[]){
for(int i=0;i<args.length;i++)
System.out.println(args);
public class Fun{
public static void main(String args[]){
//Test t=new Test("Hello","good bye");
Test.main(new String[]{"Hello","good bye"});
} Thanks,

How to pass arguments from PAPI to the process

Can any one tell me How to pass arguments from PAPI to the process.

The link Creating a new work item instance in a process using PAPI shows how to create instances on PAPI and pass in the variable information as they are being created.
Provide some additional detail if you're interested in seeing how to pass in variable information using PAPI for scenarios other than instance creation.

How to execute a script(.sql) file from a PL\SQL procedure

I would like to know how to execute a .sql file from a stored procedure and the result of it should update a table. My .sql file contains select statements.

Hi!
just go through the following piece of code -
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
1 declare
2    str varchar2(200);
3 begin
4    str := '@C:\RND\Oracle\Misc\b.sql';
5    execute immediate(str);
6* end;
SQL> /
declare
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
ORA-06512: at line 5ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
Cause: The statement is not recognized as a valid SQL statement. This error can occur if the Procedural Option is not installed and a SQL statement is issued that requires this option (for example, a CREATE PROCEDURE statement). You can determine if the Procedural Option is installed by starting SQL*Plus. If the PL/SQL banner is not displayed, then the option is not installed.
Action: Correct the syntax or install the Procedural Option.

How to pass argument to the Java Plugin JVM w/o using the Control Panel?

I want to deploy an applet to be loaded by the Java Plug In
and fix some settings of its Java Virtual Machine.
The JPI Control Panel offers two ways to pass arguments to the JVM,
none satisfactory.
1. while interactive via the Control Panel Window.
This cannot be a solution for a deployed applet.
or
2. by editing the system generated file that stores
the settings of the Plugin Control Panel, using a property
named javaplugin.jre.params.
The problem with this method is that if forces to access
and edit this property file which is stored at various locations
depending the client platform. Then, it may collide with other
settings for other applets.
Is there a way to pass the arguments to the JVM
from within the html file?
Has anyone found a solution to this question?
JPS

I am interested in this issue as well.
Did anyone find a reliable way to specify the runtime parameters that should be used by the Java Plug-in in order to execute a given Java applet?
I believe a good place to specify these runtime parameters would be the applet's JAR manifest: only digitally signed applets should be able to set the desired runtime parameters...
Any comments / suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Marco.

How to pass parameters to configuration files

Hello,
I have an application which uses several libraries and frameworks like log4j and hibernate.
Each library/framework is configured via its own configuration file, some configuration files are in xml format and others are in properties format.
Each configuration file has lots of specialized parameters that should not be exposed to the user but there are also one or two parameters that must be configured by the end user.
For example:
The log4j configuration file has lots of specialized parameters that the user should not see, but there is one parameter that the user must configure: the path for the application log file.
Another example:
The hibernate configuration file has lots of specialized parameters that the user should not see, but there is one parameter that the user musr configure: the path to the application database.
It would be great if we can have an user-configuration-file that contains only the parameters that should be configured by the user and leave the complicated and specialized parameters in their corresponding files.
I want to pass the properties defined in the user-configuration-file to the specialized configuration files.
Any ideas to achieve this?
Thanx

Thank you very much to all for the replies.
Ok, I can read the specialized-configuration-file into a Properties object, then read the user-configuration-file and merge the appropriate properties to get a complete Properties object.
If the library/framework can't be configured with the Properties object, then I will need to write down the properties into a new file and tell the library/framework to load that file.
I have used Properties objects and files before, but I don't have experience with xml configuration files.
Is the same applicable to xml files?
How can I load a XML files to an object and then update/add a particular property?.
If that's possible, then: how can I write down the XML object to a new file?
thanx

How to pass arguments from command-line to Point(x,y)

Hi guys, I'm a beginner. i'm trying to figure this out 'how to pass the arguments from command-line to Point(x,y)'. See below is the code that i have written. But it appears eror. Is there anyone can help me to figure this out?
class day5FourDPoint {
int a = 0;
int b = 0;
int c = 0;
int d = 0;
day5FourDPoint rect(Point AB, Point CD) {
a = AB.x;
b = AB.y;
c = CD.x;
d = CD.y;
return this;
void printout() {
System.out.println("Four Dimension : " + a + b + c + d);
public static void main(String[] arguments) {
day5FourDPoint FD = new day5FourDPoint();
FD.rect(arguments);
if (arguments.length > 1 & arguments.length < 4) {
for (int i=0; i < arguments.length; i++) {
FD=Integer.parseInt(arguments);
FD.printout();
}

I don't use VBS so this is just a guess based on what I have read in this forum. I think when you are passing an 'array' to javascript it needs to be a variant data type. My guess your arguments are not making it to the javascript because it it the wrong data type.

How to pass arguments to a batch file from java code

Hi
I have a batch file (marcxml.bat) which has the following excerpt :
@echo off
if x==%1x goto howto
java -cp C:\Downloads\Marcxml\marc4j.jar; C:\Downloads\Marcxml\marcxml.jar; %1 %2 %3
goto end
I'm calling this batch file from a java code with the following line of code:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start C:/Downloads/Marcxml/marcxml.bat");
so ,that invokes the batch file.Till that point its ok.
since the batch file accpets arguments(%1 %2 %3) how do i pass those arguments to the batch file from my code ...???
%1 is a classname : for ex: gov.loc.marcxml.MARC21slim2MARC
%2 is the name of the input file for ex : C:/Downloads/Marcxml/source.xml
%3 is the name of the output file for ex: C:/Downloads/Marcxml/target.mrc
could someone help me...
if i include these parameters too along with the above line of code i.e
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start C:/Downloads/Marcxml/marcxml.bat gov.loc.marcxml.MARC21slim2MARC C:\\Downloads\\Marcxml\\source.xml C:\\Downloads\\Marcxml\\target.mrc") ;
I get the following error :

1 - create a java class (Executer.java) for example:
import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
public class Executer {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          try {
               for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
                    System.out.println(args);
               Class<?> c = Class.forName(args[0]);
               Class[] argTypes = new Class[] { String[].class };
               Method main = c.getDeclaredMethod("main", argTypes);
               // String[] mainArgs = Arrays.copyOfRange(args, 1, args.length); //JDK 6
               //jdk <6
               String[] mainArgs = new String[args.length - 1];
               for (int i = 0; i < mainArgs.length; i++) {
                    mainArgs[i] = args[i + 1];
               main.invoke(null, (Object) mainArgs);
               // production code should handle these exceptions more gracefully
          } catch (ClassNotFoundException x) {
               x.printStackTrace();
          } catch (NoSuchMethodException x) {
               x.printStackTrace();
          } catch (IllegalAccessException x) {
               x.printStackTrace();
          } catch (InvocationTargetException x) {
               x.printStackTrace();
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
2 - create a .bat file:
@echo off
java -cp C:\Downloads\Marcxml\marc4j.jar; C:\Downloads\Marcxml\marcxml.jar; Executer %TARGET_CLASS% %IN_FILE% %OUT_FILE%3 - use set command to pass variable:
Open MS-DOS, and type the following:
set TARGET_CLASS=MyTargetClass
set IN_FILE=in.txt
set OUT_FILE=out.txt
Then run your .bat file (in the same ms dos window)
Hope that Helps

Passing params from SQL file to Shell Script and then from Shell to SQL Fil

Afternoon guys,
Have a fun question for all you gurus in shell scripting out there. I have a shell script that is calling 2
different SQL programs. My objective is to pass a variable called request_number from one sql program
to the shell script and then from the shell script back to another SQL program. I will explain why I
need this to happen.
Here is what the shell script looks like which calls sql programs student_load_a.sql and
student_load_b.sql. Student_load_a.sql basically creates the control file (.ctl) which is needed for the
SQL*Loader and then student_load_b.sql reads the table that was just loaded and does the main
processing. My main objective here is to be passing the request_number which is being generated
using an Oracle Sequence in student_load_a.sql and using this generated number in my main
processing in student_load_b.sql to select records from the table based on request_number.
Any ideas ?Any help or recommendations is welcome and appreciated.

How come you are mixing WinDoze script (*.exe) with Unix?
You are aware that you will be passing the password along with the user id to the second sql script?
I will assume Unix ksh:
# Accept system input parameters
p_user_id=$1
p_job_id=$2
# Create control files for sqlload
p_seqno=`sqlplus -s $p_user_id @$STUDENT_PATH/student_load_a.sql $p_job_id`
exit_status=$?
# Do sqlloads
sqlldr userid=$p_user_id control=student_load-$p_job_id.ctl \
       log=student_load-$p_job_id.log \
       bad=student_load-$p_job_id.bad
exit_status=$?
# Main processing
# sqlplus -s $p_user_id @$STUDENT_PATH/student_load_b.sql $p_user_id $p_job_id $p_request_number
sqlplus -s $p_user_id @$STUDENT_PATH/student_load_b.sql \
           $p_user_id $p_job_id $p_seqno
exit_status=$?
exit 0And the first sql script would look like this:
-- student_load_a.sql
-- Accept system input parameters
set echo off pages 0 feed off lin 80 trims on ver off
def p_job_id = &1
col seqno NEW_VALUE seqno
select request_number_seq.nextval seqno from dual;
set term off
spool student_load-$p_job_id.ctl
select
'append into table TMP_STUDENT_LOAD
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '','' optionally enclosed by ''"''
trailing nullcols
(request_number CONSTANT ''&&seqno'',
student_id)'
from   dual
spool off;
exit 0;

How to pass arguments to a java program.

I want to pass a file name to java program while it is going to execute.
ex: c:\>java <.class> <filename>
so that i have to take that filename into a string. Is it possible? If it is possible please help me.
and how can i check whether the filename argument is given or not through command line argument?

public class Program{
public static void main(String[] args){
filename = args[0];
static String filename;
this code is working. But if I did not give filename, and I only give like this
java Program
Then how can i now whether the argument (args[0]) is passed or not?

How to pass csv data from file into DLL using TestStand

Hi,
We have data files which are of CSV format. Each row contains
about 9 items of data, and have about 5 rows of this data (ie, 5
test points) :
eg
TErrAdd1,UUT,UUT,STM1E,AU4/FR,PRBS23,BIT,10,60
TErrAdd2,UUT,UUT,STM4O,AU3/UNFR,PRBS15,B1,20,60
TErrAdd3,UUT,UUT,STM16O,AU4_16C/UNFR,PRBS9,BIT,7,60
TErrAdd4,UUT,UUT,STM0E,AU3/UNFR,PRBS20,B2,5,60
TErrAdd5,UUT,UUT,STM64O,AU4_4C/FR,PRBS11,B1,6,60
What we want to do is to be able to directly pass each
row of data to a C/C++ DLL. The DLL fn accepts this
data as a vector of strings.
eg.
void DLLTestFn( vector const & configData )
However, we can write a wrapper for the DLL as I don't
think TestStand will know about vectors.
We don't really want to have to hardcode individial references
to each item of data in TestStand. Is this possible?
Just read in a row from a data file, and sent it direct
to the DLL?

Hi Richardi,
the principle is quite simple, however, you still need to use a programming language to make the initial file read.
Once you've done this, you could have it as an array of strings, and pass this directly to a wrapper DLL, which would then pass the data into a string vector.
Look up the examples\AccessingArrays\PassingArrayParametersToDll\AccessingArrays.seq
to see how to do this without passing the sequence context.
If you've read in the details into a container type structure already, then I've made an example which demonstrates this principle and what you'll need to pass it to a vector. (Similar principle can be used to fill in the container when you read the file in the first place.
You cannot go directly to a vector, since TestStand doesn't understand them.
Vector classes are difficult to export polymorphically from a DLL since the template class doesn't export, and needs specifically defining. This is what I'm assuming you're ultimately trying to do. (see ref :
How to Export STL components inside and outside of a class
I've used VIsual C++ 6 and TestStand 3.0
Please let me know if this helps to answer your query.
Thanks
