How to return to loop

I am using a flat file structure to run my test sequence. Inside each is a loop to perform the test. After completion I go to the next step. If I have a failure I have to exit the loop and give the operator controll. Repeat the test, Continue or fail. I am sure my software is not the greatest. But every week I get new changes to add.
My question: If I fail a loop and ask the operator to push one of three buttons? How can I return to the loop or a setup loop? I am in the process of learning State diagrams.
Thanks
Philip

As Norbert has said, buying the State Diagram toolkits will probably end up costing you time, at least initially. What he suggests, looking at the discussions about State Machines (for which there is no specific toolkit) is a good idea. A State Machine is an flexible architecture that, when properly implemented, allows a program to proceed from one "State" to the next, based on various criteria, i.e., in this State a certain test is being performed. If it passes go to the next test state, if it fails, go to a state that displays an option to the operator of how to proceed. The simplest basic state machines usually consist of a case statement, inside a loop, with the case selection being passed into a shift register, so that when this "case" or "State" completes, whatever the next "case" or "State" can be determined, and placed on the shift register. There have been numerous threads devoted to this topic, the State machine can be very simple all the way to enormously complex, but are the powerful underlying structure in a lot of programs. Draw your desired process flow on paper, think out the transistions (pretty much the "old fashion" flowchart) and creating a "State Machine" should be easier.

How to return 4 variables by one return statement

Hello Experts
I’m trying to develop & run a function which will collect data from 2 difference tables. I accomplished it and stores all the information which I need in 4 variables. Now as we all know that function must has to return but I don’t know how to return all these 4 variable using 1 return. Can please somebody show me how I can return 4 variables.
For reference here is my code
create or replace function TOT_PURCH_SF (id_shopper in bb_basket.idshopper%type)
return VARCHAR2
as
cursor cur_bb_basket is
select idshopper, total
from bb_basket;
cursor cur_bb_shopper is
select firstname, lastname
from bb_shopper
where idshopper = id_shopper;
v_idshopper VARCHAR2(4);
v_total bb_basket.total%type;
v_gtotal bb_basket.total%type := 0;
v_fname bb_shopper.firstname%type;
v_lname bb_shopper.lastname%type;
v_result VARCHAR2(200);
begin
if not (cur_bb_basket%isopen) then
open cur_bb_basket;
end if;
loop
fetch cur_bb_basket into v_idshopper, v_total;
if (v_idshopper = id_shopper) then
v_gtotal := v_gtotal + v_total;
dbms_output.put_line('Shopper Info: '|| v_idshopper ||', '|| v_total);
--exit;
end if;
exit when cur_bb_basket%NOTFOUND;
end loop;
-- dbms_output.put_line('Shopper ID:'|| v_idshopper || ', TOTAL:' || v_gtotal);
close cur_bb_basket;
open cur_bb_shopper;
fetch cur_bb_shopper into v_fname, v_lname;

dbms_output.put_line('FIRST NAME: '|| v_fname ||' LAST NAME: '|| v_lname);
-- return (dbms_output.put_line('Shopper ID:'|| v_idshopper || ', TOTAL:' || v_gtotal));
return 'test';
end;
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi,
If you want more than one variable returned by something, used a procedure with this variables declared as output variables. You only need to declare the procedure and keep the internal logic (with minimal changes).
Your code modified (please remove dead code):
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TOT_PURCH_SF(id_shopper IN bb_basket.idshopper%TYPE,
                                         p_idshopper OUT VARCHAR2,
                                         p_gtotal    OUT bb_basket.total%TYPE,
                                         p_fname     OUT bb_shopper.firstname%TYPE,
                                         p_lname     OUT bb_shopper.lastname%TYPE) AS
   CURSOR cur_bb_basket IS

How to return a record's column head given a record of a table.

Hi:
Do you know how to return a record's column head given a record of a table.
For example, in a table with 3 columns "ID", "Education", "Age".
Give you the record "Bachelor", how can you use a SQL to return the correspondent column head "Education"?
Thanks for the big help.

Have a look at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/sql/ResultSetMetaData.html.
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.*;
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM testTable");
ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
// loop through rsmd.getColumnCount() {
     String columnName = getColumnName(i);
     // run a query SELECT * FROM testTable WHERE columnName='Bachelor'
     // if rs !=null return columnName and break out of the loop
}

How to return a profile in Game Center. where you want to enter the old nikneim?

How to return a profile in Game Center. where you want to enter the old nikneim?

It's not actually round. It is slight flattened vertically.
Anyway...
I have an Action that places guides at 50% (50pc) vertically and horizontally to give me the exact center of an image file, or you place them manually with View > New Guide.
After doing that I would place the circular select from that center point using Shift and Alt (Opt) and get it more or less where I wanted it. Then change the selection into a work path.
You can use Free Transform to reshape and position that work path by selecting it in the Paths panel.
Then place your text, and if you still need to fine tune, use Free Transform again, but on the Type layer.
You could also use Free Transform to reshape the BG graphic to make it round.

[UIX] How To: Return multiple values from a LOV

Hi gang
I've been receiving a number of queries via email on how to return multiple items from a LOV using UIX thanks to earlier posts of mine on OTN. I'm unfortunately aware my previous posts on this are not that clear thanks to the nature of the forums Q&A type approach. So I thought I'd write one clear post, and then direct any queries to it from now on to save me time.
Following is my solution to this problem. Please note it's just one method of many in skinning a cat. It's my understanding via chatting to Oracle employees that LOVs are to be changed in a future release of JDeveloper to be more like Oracle Forms LOVs, so my skinning skills may be rather bloody & crude very soon (already?).
I'll base my example on the hr schema supplied with the standard RDBMS install.
Say we have an UIX input-form screen to modify an employees record. The employees record has a department_id field and a fk to the departments table. Our requirement is to build a LOV for the department_id field such that we can link the employees record to any department_id in the database. In turn we want the department_name shown on the employees input form, so this must be returned via the LOV too.
To meet this requirement follow these steps:
1) In your ADF BC model project, create 2 EOs for employees and departments.
2) Also in your model, create 2 VOs for the same EOs.
3) Open your employees VO and create a new attribute DepartmentName. Check selected in query. In expressions type (SELECT dept.department_name FROM departments dept WHERE dept.department_id = employees.department_id). Check Updateable always.
4) Create a new empty UIX page in your ViewController project called editEmployees.uix.
5) From the data control palette, drag and drop EmployeesView1 as an input-form. Notice that the new field DepartmentName is also included in the input-form.
6) As the DepartmentName will be populated either from querying existing employees records, or via the LOV, disable the field as the user should not have the ability to edit it.
7) Select the DepartmentId field and delete it. In the UI Model window delete the DepartmentId binding.
8) From the data controls palette, drag and drop the DepartmentId field as a messageLovInput onto your page. Note in your application navigator a new UIX page lovWindow0.uix (or similar) has been created for you.
9) While the lovWindow0.uix is still in italics (before you save it), rename the file to departmentsLov.uix.
10) Back in your editEmployees.uix page, your messageLovInput source will look like the following:
<messageLovInput
    model="${bindings.DepartmentId}"
    id="${bindings.DepartmentId.path}"
    destination="lovWindow0.uix"/>Change it to be:
<messageLovInput
    model="${bindings.DepartmentId}"
    id="DepartmentId"
    destination="departmentsLov.uix"
    partialRenderMode="multiple"
    partialTargets="_uixState DepartmentName"/>11) Also change your DepartmentName source to look like the following:
<messageTextInput
    id=DepartmentName
    model="${bindings.DepartmentName}"
    columns="10"
    disabled="true"/>12) Open your departmentsLov.uix page.
13) In the data control palette, drag and drop the DepartmentId field of the DepartmentView1 as a LovTable into the Results area on your page.
14) Notice in the UI Model window that the 3 binding controls have been created for you, an iterator, a range and a binding for DepartmentId.
15) Right click on the DepartmentsLovUIModel node in the UI Model window, then create binding, display, and finally attribute. The attribute binding editor will pop up. In the select-an-iterator drop down select the DepartmentsView1Iterator. Now select DepartmentName in the attribute list and then the ok button.
16) Note in the UI Model you now have a new binding called DCDefaultControl. Select this, and in the property palette change the Id to DepartmentName.
17) View the LOV pages source, and change the lovUpdate event as follows:
<event name="lovSelect">
    <compound>
        <set value="${bindings.DepartmentId.inputValue}" target="${sessionScope}" property="MyAppDepartmentId" />
        <set value="${bindings.DepartmentName.inputValue}" target="${sessionScope}" property="MyAppDepartmentName" />
    </compound>
</event>18) Return to editEmployees.uix source, and modify the lovUpdate event to look as follows:
<event name="lovUpdate">
    <compound>
        <set value="${sessionScope.MyAppDepartmentId}" target="${bindings.DepartmentId}" property="inputValue"/>
        <set value="${sessionScope.MyAppDepartmentName}" target="${bindings.DepartmentName}" property="inputValue"/>
    </compound>
</event>Thats it. Now when you select a value in your LOV, it will return 2 (multiple!) values.
A couple things to note:
1) In the messageLovInput id field we dont use the .path notation. This is mechanism for returning 1 value from the LOV and is useless for us.
2) Again in the messageLovInput we supply _uixState as an entry in the partialTargets.
3) We are relying on partial-page-refresh functionality to update multiple items on the screen.
Im not going to take the time out to explain these 3 points, but its worthwhile you learning more about them, especially the last 2, as a separate exercise.
One other useful thing to do is, in your messageLovInput, include as a last entry in the partialTargets list MessageBox. In turn locate the messageBox control on your page (if any), and supply an id=MessageBox. This will allow the LOV to place any errors raised in the MessageBox and show them to the user.
I hope this works for you :)
Cheers,
CM.

Thanks Chris,
It took me some time to find the information I needed, how to use return multiple values from a LOV popup window, then I found your post and all problems were solved. Its working perfectly, well, almost perfectly.
Im always fighting with ADF-UIX, it never does the thing that I expect it to do, I guess its because I have a hard time letting go of the total control you have as a developer and let the framework take care of a few things.
Anyway, I'm using your example to fill 5 fields at once, one of the fields being a messageChoice (a list with countries) with a LOV to a lookup table (id , country).
I return the countryId from the popup LOV window, that works great, but it doesn't set the correct value in my messageChoice . I think its because its using the CountryId for the listbox index.
So how can I select the correct value inside my messageChoice? Come to think of it, I dont realy think its LOV related...
Can someone help me out out here?
Kind regards

How to return a single datetime from multiple rows of MAX(value) in DAX

Hi
I have a Results table with ResultTime, Balance, Equity which is updated with a new row every 5 minutes. I've used SUMX to find opening and closing balances and it has worked so far.
Res_OpeningBalance:=SUMX(TOPN(1,Results,Results[ResultTime],1),[Balance])
Res_ClosingBalance:=SUMX(TOPN(1,Results,Results[ResultTime],0),[Balance])
But when I tried it with dates, the whole thing fell apart.
Res_MaxBalance_Date:=SUMX(TOPN(1,Results,Results[Balance],0),[ResultTime])
Since the highest Balance is likely to be represented through many rows due to it lasting more than 5 minutes, ResultTime (which is unique to each row) is summed up and returns messed up dates well into the future. How to return only one date (first or last
datetime) from the rows where Balance is at max?
I tried a TOPN of TOPN, but Excel was not amused.
=SUMX(TOPN(1,Results,Results[Balance],0),TOPN(1,Results,Results[ResultTime],0))
TIA!
Re
Dennis

I still don't understand RANKX, but I figured it out anyway. I get the correct data by using:
Res_MaxBalance:=MAX(Results[Balance])
Res_MaxBalanceDate:=CALCULATE(MAX(Results[ResultTime]),FILTER(Results, Results[Balance]=MAX(Results[Balance])))
Res_MinBalance:=MIN(Results[Balance])
Res_MinBalanceDate:=CALCULATE(MAX(Results[ResultTime]),FILTER(Results, Results[Balance]=MIN(Results[Balance])))
Res_MaxEquity:=MAX(Results[Equity])
Res_MaxEquityDate:=CALCULATE(MAX(Results[ResultTime]),FILTER(Results, Results[Equity]=MAX(Results[Equity])))
Res_MinEquity:=MIN(Results[Equity])
Res_MinEquityDate:=CALCULATE(MAX(Results[ResultTime]),FILTER(Results, Results[Equity]=MIN(Results[Equity])))

How to return a html repsonse after form guide rendering in browser?

How to return a html repsonse after form guide rendering in browser indicating that server has recieved transmission and request is submitted succesfuly?
I am rendering the form guide in browser using guide invoke service and when i submit the data in browser to server through guide , it is displaying some random number in browser?
i need to display a resposne that request is submitted successfully?

how could i define a variable with "html data" ?
Create a variable of type document and then a service to read the html from where ever it's located. If you put it in LiveCycle, you can use the ReadRessource service. If it's on the file system, you can use the Read Document. If it's in the database, you can use the JDBC service.
Also, one more doubt where should i use this variable in my process to get the same?
You want the response once you've submitted the data, so the html is really the result of calling the process that's processing the data. So I would create an output variable of type document on that process.
Right now it displays a random number in the browser because your submit process is long lived. When a process is long lived (asynchronous), you invoke it and then you get an identifier back. It's kind of a fire and forget. You can use that identifier to check the status of the long lived process, since long lived processes can take hours, days to complete. You don't want your browser to wait that long, hence the identifier.
However if you change the process to be short lived (synchronous), the browser will wait for the result of the process, which really means the output variables for that process. If your output variable contains html, it'll display html.
So the key is make you submit process short lived and populate the output variables appropriately.

I want to make a program which has 2 thread, one of which is to control some devices, and the other is to measure outputs of the devices.
To do that, I should make a 2 independent loops, but there comes a problem here.
I want to terminate 2 loops at the same time, but it's difficult for me to do that, because when I try to notify upper sequence's termination to lower loop by some value change, they have some dependency.
That's why I need your help. I want to know how to stop lower loop when the upper sequence's termination keeping their independency.
Please let me know. Thank you.

Is the upper loop commanding the lower loop at all? I would think you would have some type of communication between the loops. Just use that communication to send a stop command. Or the next best way is to just simply use a notifier.

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 set a loop on an .flv so that an exported .swf loops?

hi there. i am using Flash CS4 and I would like to know how to set a loop in an flv file so that when it is exported to swf, the movie will loop. Basically i have taken an existing interactive flash movie and have decompiled it into its individual flv counterparts. what i intend to do is take out all the nonsense from each flv file and then reconstruct the flash movie, export each file to swf and then convert each swf to avi or some other video format. to do this i will be using sothink swf to avi converter which allows you to convert swf files to avi files. this program allows you to convert swf files that loop by looping the swf file for as long as you want until you stop it, in which a video file is created from "the recording"
after i decompiled the original file, many of the existing flv files were already set to loop. i know this because when exported to swf the swf file would loop. now when i went ahead and went into each flv file to edit a couple things, when i went to export them to swf, the swf files wouldn't loop. mind you, some of them did loop, and some of them did not loop. the ones i have edited are all supposed to loop and i cannot figure out what it is thats preventing some of the flv or exported swf files to loop. all i did was take out a few unnecessary frames from the beginning of each flv and nothing more. i am pretty new to Flash and do not know anything about coding and know very little about flash settings.
i figured that selecting the "loop playback" option in the control drop down menu might help seeing as the flv file does loop when played in the editor, but again when exported to swf the swf file does not loop. what confuses me the most is that some of the exported swf files do loop. ALL of the exported swf files need to loop and my guess is that in order to make that happen, something in the flv file needs to be set correctly.
can someone please assist me with this issue? if there is a way to simply loop an existing swf file that does not loop, can someone tell me how to do that? any help with this problem is greatly appreciated and i appologize if something like this has been asked before.... i just couldnt stand looking through 22 pages of search results to find the exact solution to my problem
thank you!!!

Hi,
You can use shortDesc property. Something like
<af:commandToolbarButton text="Some Button"
id="ctb1" shortDesc="This button does something.."/>-Arun

Need ideas on how to return display back to normal

Any suggestions on how to return the display back to normal setting on my Mac OS X, my cat "pawed something on the keyboard and now everything is stretched so big I have to scroll way down to get to the dock and way over to see what's on the sides. Then my daughter tried to fix it and the display is now a square center with the black sides cut off. Any idea are greatly appreciated!

First try opening the Universal Access System Preferences and check the'Seeing' options. It's possible that the 'Zoom' option has been enabled. If that's what happened then you should be able to hold down the command and option keys, then press the '-' and '=' keys to zoom the image in and out. Hopefully that is all that is needed.
You should also check the Display System Preferences to make sure that you are set to the native resolution of your panel (should be the highest highest resolution listed).

Problem: having three updates would cause the database to lock. How would I pass input paramaters for those three updates in SP. How would I update multiple tables, how to avoid database lock, how to return multi-statment table - value (display
table contains multiple records)

I prefer to use different stored procedures to do different things.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].usp_updatedata
(@id CHAR(12)
,@Date DATETIME
AS
BEGIN
Update Table_mocha
SET P4=LTRIM(RTRIM(Nullif(Replace(PE4,RTRIM(Cast(Q_ID as varchar(10))), ''),'')))

End
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].usp_getData

,@Date DATETIME
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SELECT id, ln_id,p4, P9,P11
where id=@id and order_dt=@Date

Hello,
that is easy. In your driver program, please check the inputs of the job/ generator function modules.
You provide GETPDF = 'X' attribute what will make the FM not to print the form or display the preview but to return the binary stream of the PDF data (type FPCONTENT) what is a RAW or something. Next look for the PDF output parameter to get the returned binary data and send it as you wish through JCo.
