Hello,
Using dynamic sql you can pass column name to function. well I am not getting what you really want to do ? Please write in more detail. By the way I am providing one example here. see it uses dynamic sql.
Create or replace function fun_updtest (p_columnname_varchar2 in varchar2,
p_value_number in number)
return number is
v_stmt varchar2(500);
begin
v_stmt := 'update emp
set '||p_columnname_varchar2||' = '||to_char(p_value_number)||'
where empno = 7369';
execute immediate v_stmt;
return 0;
commit;
end;
call to this function can be like this..
declare
v_number number;
begin
v_number := fun_updtest('SAL',5000);
end;

thanks for your reply
i 'm doing what exactly you mention here .
my problem here is
i have 15 columns
i am executing a query based on the values of the column(column name) in the target page
1)here i am passing(all) the column values to the next page-but i want to pass only one column values(column name)
when i click on any cell of that column
OR
2)i can pass all column name to target page -there(in the target page) i can filter out
i think option 1 would good if you filter out the unwanted columns

How to get sequence name in run time.

hi
I have several sub sequence called in the main sequence in TestStand. Those sub sequences have different sequence names, which i wanted to display by string indicator on the Labview Operator Interface. Is there a simple way to show the current calling sub sequence name during run time(run main).
thanks.

Hi,
The easiest way is to use the NameOf() function. In this case where you wish to get the name of the current sequence the syntax NameOf(RunState.Sequence) yields the name. I attach a very simple example also.

How to pass column name in slect statement in query

i have created a function which return column name through variable & that variable i want to to use in select statement

Hi,
Create a user parameter (say P_field), and assign a valid field name as initial value (say NAME), And In the Query, write
SELECT CODE, &P_field FN_FIELD FROM <table_name> WHERE <condition>And in the BEFORE PARAMETER FORM Trigger under the Report Triggers, write,

How to Use Table name at run time

Hi All
I have created a function that accepts a table name as a parameter and returns the maximam sequence number, but in my function body i can not write the parameter name as a table i.e.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION MAX_ID(TAB_NAME Varchar)
RETURN Number IS
max_id Number;
CURSOR curSalPoint IS
     SELECT MAX(EMP_NUMBER)
     FROM TAB_NAME ;
BEGIN
max_id:=0;
OPEN curSalPoint ;
     FETCH curSalPoint INTO max_id;
     CLOSE curSalPoint;
RETURN max_id
END
But it will give an error saying
(1):PL/SQL: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
for "TAB_NAME"
Any help would be appreciate ........

Yes, as i contcatinated table name with the original statement, so you can also continate fields' names with your statment and execute immediate the statement.
Sorry i forgot this statement in my function, to execute the statement you need to include following statement
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION MAX_ID(TAB_NAME Varchar)
RETURN Number IS
max_id Number;
query varchar2(200);
BEGIN
max_id:=0;
query:=null;
query := query || 'select max(empno) into max_id from'|| tab_name;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE query;
RETURN max_id;
END;

Reading from a file. How to ask the user for file name at run time????

I have the code to read from a file but my problem is how to prompt the user for the file name at run time.
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.InputMismatchException;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class FileRead {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        Scanner scan = null;
        File file = new File("Results.txt");
        String number;
        try {
            scan = new Scanner(file);
            while (scan.hasNext()){
            number = scan.next();
            System.out.println(number);}
        catch (FileNotFoundException ex1){
            System.out.println("No such file");
        catch (IllegalStateException ex2){
            System.out.println("Did you close the read by mistake");
        catch (InputMismatchException ex){
            System.out.println("File structure incorrect");
        finally{
            scan.close();}
}Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

I have read through some of the tutorials that you have directed me too and they are very useful, thank you. however there are still a few things that i am not clear about. I am using net beans 5.0 I have placed a text file named Results.txt into the project at the root so the program can view it.
When I use the code that you provided me with, does it matter where the file is, or will it look through everywhere on the hard drive to find a match?
This code compiles but at run time it comes up with this error
run-single:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: NamedFile
Exception in thread "main"
Java Result: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 3 seconds)
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;
class NamedFileInput
public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException
    int num, square;
    // this Scanner is used to read what the user enters
    Scanner user = new Scanner( System.in );
    String fileName;
    System.out.print("File Name: ");
    fileName = user.nextLine().trim();
    File file = new File( fileName );     // create a File object
    // this Scanner is used to read from the file
    Scanner scan = new Scanner( file );
    while( scan.hasNextInt() )   // is there more data to process?
      num = scan.nextInt();
      square = num * num ;
      System.out.println("The square of " + num + " is " + square);
}his is the code that i used. It is the same as the code you posted for me (on chapter 23 I/O using Scanner and PrintStream) Sorry im just really stuck on this!!

Execute immediate with using clause to pass column name dynamically

Hai,
Is there any way using execute immeidate to pass the column name dynamically. I used to pass the column value as dynamic with the help of "Using clause" . But if i use to pass column name, it is giving numberic error at run time. Eg,. for testing has been given below.
1. Column value as dynamic, which is working correctly.
create or replace function testexeimm (acctnum char)
return number as
acctbal number;
begin
execute immediate 'select balance from acct_master where acct_no=:a' into acctbal using acctnum;
return acctbal;
end;
2. Column name as dynamic which is not working
create or replace function testexeimm (colnam char)
return char as
acctbal char;
begin
execute immediate 'select :a from ch_acct_mast where rownum=1' into acctbal using colnam;
return acctbal;
end;
Any help in this regard will be highly appericated.
Regards
Sridhar

So the variable has to be numeric too:
create or replace function testexeimm (colnam char)
return number as
acctbal number;
begin
execute immediate 'select '|||colnam||' from ch_acct_mast where rownum=1' into acctbal;
return acctbal;
end;Max

How to dynamically validate users at run time using connection pools ?

Hi Folks
We are facing a peculiar situation . We have established connection to our
oracle 8i database using Oracle Thin driver using conenction pooling at the weblogic
server . We set up connection pools at the console to set up connections to thge
oracle 8i database. However the user name and password is always static when
we create the connection pool at the console .
How do i dynamically validate other users using the same connection pool ??
Eg - The connection pool at design time in the console uses user A and password
- passA . Now at run time lets say I prompt the user for a login screen and want
to trap the user id and apssword parameters entered by the user and use it with
the connection pool created earlier . I tried using the below code snippet :-
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("connectionPoolID", "Oracle_Thin_Driver_Pool");
props.put("user" , userId );
props.put("password",userPass);
myDriver = (Driver) Class.forName("weblogic.jdbc.pool.Driver").newInstance();
conn = myDriver.connect("jdbc:weblogic:pool", props);
But always it connects to the database using the userid and password set in the
console while creating the connection pool . So how i get the connection pool
to validate my current userid and password entered through the login screen ??
Thanks in advance
Keith

Hey Bob.
So I assume you're -completely- working with built executables? You're not going to work in the editor environment to modify your projects at all?
If this is the case, then having a generic deployment phase at the beginning of the executable (with a "setting up hardware for your app" splash screen) isn't a bad idea -
Check the binary on the target, ensure it matches the binary you have on the host machine (in case you ever decide to update).
If they don't match, FTP the new file down to replace the old one.
FTP the ni-rt.ini file, ensure the startup exe is enabled and is pointing to the correct location.
If it's not enabled or not pointing to the correct startup file, modify the .INI file and FTP back to the target.
If you had to update the INI file, ask target to reboot itself. Wait 30 seconds, and wait for target to become available again.
Connect to the target. If you cannot connect, reboot target. If the target comes back and you still cannot connect to the app, notify user.
That's almost exactly how we handle installation and deployment via MAX.
The big assumption here is that the built executables were all built with the same version of LabVIEW Real-Time. If not, you'd need a system replication step in there to make sure the proper version of LabVIEW is on the target before launching the built .rtexe.

Pass column-name as a parameter to reports

Hello,
the code below calls a report. But now I want to sort the rows in the report. For example I have a text-item in my form-modul. If I type a column-name and press the button then the rows should be sorted in the report. Is it possible tp pass column-names as parameter to reports?
DECLARE
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
repid := find_report_object('STATIONSTOPOLOGIE');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,RUNTIME);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'html');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_SERVER,'rep_oracle-dev');
-- SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=no pdeptno='||:dept.deptno);
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
LOOP
rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
END LOOP;
IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://oracle-dev:8888/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||
substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=rep_oracle-dev','_blank');
ELSE
message('Error when running report');
END IF;
END;

Hi,
the work has been done in reports. You can use a lexical parameter in reports to add a condition for sorting to the query like:
select .. from .. where ... &p_order.
Then add another parameter to the report (for example p_param). Fill p_param via your interface in forms (SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER, ....) with the column name. Then build a report trigger like:
if :p_param is null
then
:p_order:= null;
else
:p_order:= 'order by '||:p_param;
end if;
But have a look, that p_param can only get correct values.

Update step limit name at run-time

I need to run through some test steps in a TestStand sequence multiple times. This wouldn't be a loop on a single step or group of steps but probably a goto a label "for" loop in TestStand. BTW, TestStand 2.0.1 calling code from a LabWindows/CVI DLL via the standard prototype adapter. Each iteration I need to have the test step limit names be updated with a different suffix. So step1 might have results0 and results1 and on the 2nd run results0 would be renamed to results0b. How do I update the limit names, at run-time, from a LabWindows/CVI function? I.e. the first test in the sequence's Main would update the steps below it to update the suffix. I started down the path of using TS_SeqContextGetProperty to get the sequence handle
TS_SeqContextGetProperty( testData->seqContextCVI, &errorInfo, TS_SeqContextSequence, CAVT_OBJHANDLE, &seq_hndl );
then using TS_SequenceGetNumSteps( seq_hndl, &errorInfo, TS_StepGroup_Main, &num_steps ) to determine the number of steps in the Main tab.
Enter a for loop:
TS_PropertyGetValString( testData->seqContextCVI, &errorInfo, buf, TS_PropOption_NoOptions, ( char ** )&rslt_name ) with buf as "Sequence.Main[0].Result.Measurement[0]" errors out with an invalid name message. The idea is to get this value, update it based on the iteration in TestStand ( this is already acquired and working ), and then set the value back. Then, move on to the next step and so forth.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

So, I tried the example and it works but only for a single step. I've tried two options: 1. having a single step that programmatically changes all the result names in all the other steps in the sequence. 2. having each step update the result names itself. For thought 1 the loop would run and the changes would occur but when the function was exited I'd get an exception from TestStand. No real information in the details as it looked like a memory corruption error. I then examined the details of what occurred and tried more experiments. If I had the loop have more than 1 iteration this behavior occurred. If I comment out the set function it still occurs. Then, for thought 2, it works like a champ on all the steps until I loop back to the top of the sequence. Then, on the first step ( 2nd time through ) it bombs out.
Attached is the code for the 2nd possible solution.
Does anyone know what the problem is or if there's a way to do this?

How to get column names in table maintenance dialog?

I created a new Z table and created a maintanance dialog so that I can maintain the table through sm30. i don't see columns names on maintenance screen, just a "+" sign for each column! Could someone please tell me how to display column name?
Thanks.
Mithun

Hello Mithun
The column texts are taken from the field descriptions of the data elements used in your z-table. A "+" sign usually indicates that none of the field descriptions of the data element has been maintained.

you need to negotiate Authentication in ur applet code...
          For example:
          If u r using Form based auth u need to send Post a request with j_user_name &
          j_password to the action j_security_check. and when server returns back the
          cookie
          u need to hold it and pass that cookie to the each and every request made to the
          protected application.
          Basically u need to imitate the browser.
