How to return quotes with varchar2 value

Hello-
I'm writing a function and need to add quotes to either side of a varchar2 db value
i.e. column value is Financial Trx, I need it to be 'Financial Trx'
I'd be grateful for any ideas on how to do this -
Many thanks in advance-
amanda

John, good point. Here is another way to get the single quotes that may or may not seem cleaner
UT1> l
1 select chr(39)||fld4||chr(39) as Word
2 ,chr(39)||fld3||chr(39) as Oradate
3* from marktest where fld1 = 8
UT1> /
WORD ORADATE
'fraction' '25-JUL-03'
When used in plsql code a variable can be given the value of a single quote, chr(39) and concatenated to the column values instead of repeatedly calling the function.

Show abscence quota with 0 value

Hello all,
I need several quotas to be showed in IT2006 though their value (entitlement) is 0.
These quotas have to be created first day of the year with 0 value entitlement, and then as the year goes by, they are increased depending on several criteria.
These quotas are calculated via time evaluation (RPTIME00) and all of them work fine, except for this issue about when they still have a 0 value.
Thank you very much in advance.
Gonzalo

with zero value quota can not be generated as andy said write a LSMW to create a quota with zero value.

How to return more than one value from a function

hello everybody,
Can anyone tell me how to return more than a single value from a function, the problem is i have 4 points,
2 points form one line ,another 2 points form 2nd line ,each point is 3 dimensional(x,y,z coorinates) so i will pass these values to func(x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2,x3,y3,z3,x4,y4,z4), i will find the point of intersecton of two lines and i will get it as x,y,z , now how to return these 3 coordinates,usually the function returns only one value, please help me to solve it out.
Thanks.

I think the easiest way or trick here is (easiest isn't always the best as we know, but atleast this one will work) to create simple data array. and pass that. Create an array with:
<code>
class justArray {
int x=0
int y=0;
int z= 0;
...somewhere
justArray[] points= new justArray[4];
points[0].x= ..
points[0].y= ..
points[0].z= ..
points[1].x= ..
return points[]
</code>

How to display characteristics with filterd values in WebReports

Hi
we use webreporting (BI 7.0) for our endusers and have designed a very simple webtemplate. All the characteristics you can see in the "selection window" are displayed in a header section with the values set for each variable. Due to the simplicity of the template we do not want to display all characteristics in the header with all possible filtered values set on any charateristic which are available on the report.
There is a standard webitem to display these filtered values but we can not use it as it is too large.
Is it possible to change the apperance of a characteristic (make it bold, or red, or underline if a filter is set) so that the user can see that he have set a filter on any characteristic?
If not, is it possible to simply display any text on the webtemplate indicating that a filter has been set?
Any Ideas?
Best Regards
Markus

How to bring fields with no values into workbook..?

Hi Gurus,
We have a query, which is filtered with some 60 GL Accounts. Some of these GL account has no values or activity since long back. But we need to display it in the report for some reasons. Since it doesnu2019t have any value, its not coming up in the report. Only the accounts with values are coming up.
Is there any way I can bring these accounts in the report with 0 as values...? Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Uan

Hi,
there are two ways:
1) first you update in the infocube all values from gl_account.
=> your data volume grown up very much.
2) in the query you create a structure with all values from gl_account.

How to print frame with no values?

Using Reports 6 (Developer 10g). In data model, I have a parent and child table connected through data link. In layout model, the child record is inside repeating frame. When child record is missing, nothing gets displayed in that frame. I still need labels to display, even though there are no values for the fields. How do I do that? Thank you.

Hello,
Your report is group report. And there is main group repeating frame and inside that main group repeating frame there should be two frames. one for labels and one will be repeating that will be retrieving data for child group. So, now when your group frame will return record and suppose there is no record in child repeating frame then sure repeating frame will not print. But the label frame should print which is inside that main group repeating frame. Because this label frame don't have any link with that child repeating frame. Or it your report does not seems like this. Then make it like this and then try.

Posting your Oracle version is immensely helpful when asking questions (different version = different answers / functionality available).
select * from v$version;Also, using tags will preserve the formatting of your code.
You should likely read (a lot) about [http://www.stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/10g/appdev.101/b10807/05_colls.htm]
Basically, you would need to create a PL/SQL record and reference that, OR you could create a SQL type.
If you're looking for a 'simple' way to return many single values (no arrays) then your best bet would be a procedure with multiple OUT parameters.

Output parameters or how to return more than one value

My RMI server retrieves a list of Strings from the database. I need to return a status code int and an array of Strings to the RMI client. Does anybody have any ideas on how to do this. The only way I have come up with is to return an array of Strings using the first array position as the status code. But this is very ugly. There doesn't seem to be any way to have output parameters. I can use "output parameters" with code that lies in the same app by using wrapper classes or arrays but this does not really apply to a client and server running on different machines. Any ideas?

Well, my general reaction is that you don't need a status code. (You can instead throw an exception if the status is anything but "OK".)
However, on the assumption that you really DO need the status, then some alternatives are
o Return an object that has a status code and an array as member variables.
o In the call, pass in an object that the server can fill in with the array of strings. have the function return the status code.

NCR returns delivery with no value

Hi,
I am using the process of returns in cross company.
First I create the purchase order with a returns item checked.
Then i create in migo the stocks movement. so far so good at this point.
In vl04 i pick the purchase order and i want to make the delivery returns NCR. But in this point i get 0 in the value of the quantity. So i can not continue the process in spite of the system is telling me that the delivery is in process.
What i am doing wrong?

How to return a non const value?

Hi,
I would like one of my methods to return a date object that should not be modified. How do I enforce this? I could create a 2nd object duplicating the original and return it, so any changes to the returned object will not mess up the original, but there must be a better way. What is it?
Thanks,
Carlo

That, sadly won't work because I still need to be able to modify the date internally to the class, just when I return it in a getter I want to enforce non modifyability.
Following is the code. Look at the getNextTime() method, this is the method that returns the date object that I want to enforce being non modifyable.
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Date;

How to suppress records with vzero value in a union report in OBIEE?

Hi
I have a Union report ,Rep1 union Rep 2,with a cloumn A in rep1 and a dummy column in place of column A in rep 2.
I want to restrict the records where A= 0 in the union report.
How to go abouth this.
Thanks in advance !!

hi,
In report1 let the column be as it is ,why are you changing the f(x) to case statement.Did you check is data there in that column of report1.
In the union report make tat dummy column as 0 or 1 accordingly as per your requirement.So it would retrieve all the values of column of report1.
Check the join conditions established and play with the joins like give a full outer join and check if the data is coming including 0's if so then you can pply filter on that column saying column not equal to 0,so the remaining values gets populated.
Cheers,
KK

How to return more then one value in OC4J

Hi,
do I really need to create a serializable object + interface with an reader and writer to pass more then 2 variables back to the client ?
Must this object a java bean ?
.. or does anybody know an easier way to solve this problems.
greetings
Mike

What is your client, and what are you using on the server? Are you trying to return values from a servlet to a web page, or from a servlet to a JSP, or from a EJB to a Java client?
John H. Hi John
We have some services currentliy implementet as PL/SQL stored Procedures on Oracle. They are now accessable with DCE and C-clients.
The task is now to implement the services as Web-Services with SOAP. For that we want to use the OC4J. - as an SOAP Server.
But unforunatly the only examples I found are returning only one parameter.
The Java books learned me to create a class and an interface to pass more parameter to the client. This interface should be inherit from Serializable.
The compiler is happy, the deployment is ok. But when I try to get the wsdl and stub I get something like: "must be an bean" or "have to be a reader and write property.
From my point of view this looks very complicated. I want to use SOAP and therefore all parameters should be passed with one call and the parameter should be explained in the WSDL so that they could be used independed of the programming language and plattform.
When I implement the read and write methods I will pass the parameters in one stream. When I only use Java I think this is a solution - but what is with C or other languages.
Ciao Mike
