If statement in DI

Hi all
I'm wondering what the format of IF-ELSE block is in DI. I wan to check validation rules in my query in DI but my IF statement comes with an error. I searched a lot on the Internet but couldn't find the correct syntax. What I wrote is :
If dateOfBirth < sysdate()
datafobirth
end
Unfortunately there is no help for using functions in DI It takes me a lot to figure out the correct syntax!!
Any help is greatly appreciated.

you can't put a block of logic in Query mapping, you mapping expression should evaluate to a value that will be assgined to the output column
for Query mapping you will either use constants or expressions along with input columns, or use functions, you either put the logic in a custom function or use thefunctions provided by DI . the DI functions are documented with examples in the technical manual
for you case you can use ifthenelse() function, or put the same logic in a custom function and call that here
for example:- in a Query your mapping can be, if your source is a EMP table with DOJ as date column
ifthenelse(EMP.DOJ < sysdate(), DOJ, NULL)
or you can take DOJ as input to custom function and return the output based on your requirement

And/or if statement in rtf templates.

Hi all,
I'm using XML Publisher 4.5.
I have created a word template file (rtf) for my reports. I need to be able to show some content in the template file by using and and/or if statement.
fx. <?if:doc_type='STANDARD'?> OR <?if:doc_type='DEFAULT'?>
How can I do this?
In advance thank you.
Best regards
Kenneth

Hi D,
Thank you for your answer.
I have seriously thought about that solution; but I don't think it's a smart way to do it.
If i do it like that, i need to copy the whole table and paste it inside the if statements.
I have two xml elements that I need to make the decisions on. POH_PO_TYPE & CP_RELEASE_NUM.
POH_PO_TYPE can be: STANDARD, RELEASE or BLANKET.
CP_RELEASE_NUM can be: '' or N
If POH_PO_TYPE is RELEASE AND CP_RELEASE_NUM is not ''
OR POH_PO_TYPE is STANDARD
OR POH_PO_TYPE is BLANKET AND CP_RELEASE_NUM is ''
THEN show table (which contains the whole PO).
It shall show the content of the PO in any of these cases.

Filename in import statement

Hi srinivas bobbala,
Thank you for your response.But I think my quesition was not clear.My ques... is for suppose there is one datafile for importing like.. "datafile_21" Here my intention is it takes file from datafile_21 only but it appears in import statement like datafile_21<<curmon>>.
import database sample.sample data from data_file "c:\\ABC\datafile_21_AUG.txt" using server rules_file datafile on error abort;
In this it takes datafile from datafile_21.But it appears like datafile_21_AUG in import statement.This AUG coming from batch file.
Essmsh c:\\ABC\loadmxl.mxl %curmon%

No it is not possible.
I assume the data file "datafile_21" is first renamed to datafile_21_${CurrMth} in the batchscript.
After that this data file *datafile_21_${CurrMth}* is pointed in the import statement.
In the logs you will see this file as datafile_21_Aug.

Help with if statement in cursor and for loop to get output

I have the following cursor and and want to use if else statement to get the output. The cursor is working fine. What i need help with is how to use and if else statement to only get the folderrsn that have not been updated in the last 30 days. If you look at the talbe below my select statement is showing folderrs 291631 was updated only 4 days ago and folderrsn 322160 was also updated 4 days ago.
I do not want these two to appear in my result set. So i need to use if else so that my result only shows all folderrsn that havenot been updated in the last 30 days.
Here is my cursor:
/*Cursor for Email procedure. It is working Shows userid and the string
You need to update these folders*/
DECLARE
a_user varchar2(200) := null;
v_assigneduser varchar2(20);
v_folderrsn varchar2(200);
v_emailaddress varchar2(60);
v_subject varchar2(200);
Cursor c IS
SELECT assigneduser, vu.emailaddress, f.folderrsn, trunc(f.indate) AS "IN DATE",
MAX (trunc(fpa.attemptdate)) AS "LAST UPDATE",
trunc(sysdate) - MAX (trunc(fpa.attemptdate)) AS "DAYS PAST"
--MAX (TRUNC (fpa.attemptdate)) - TRUNC (f.indate) AS "NUMBER OF DAYS"
FROM folder f, folderprocess fp, validuser vu, folderprocessattempt fpa
WHERE f.foldertype = 'HJ'
AND f.statuscode NOT IN (20, 40)
AND f.folderrsn = fp.folderrsn
AND fp.processrsn = fpa.processrsn
AND vu.userid = fp.assigneduser
AND vu.statuscode = 1
GROUP BY assigneduser, vu.emailaddress, f.folderrsn, f.indate
ORDER BY fp.assigneduser;
BEGIN
FOR c1 IN c LOOP
IF (c1.assigneduser = v_assigneduser) THEN
dbms_output.put_line(' ' || c1.folderrsn);
else
dbms_output.put(c1.assigneduser ||': ' || 'Overdue Folders:You need to update these folders: Folderrsn: '||c1.folderrsn);
END IF;
a_user := c1.assigneduser;
v_assigneduser := c1.assigneduser;
v_folderrsn := c1.folderrsn;
v_emailaddress := c1.emailaddress;
v_subject := 'Subject: Project for';
END LOOP;
END;
The reason I have included the folowing table is that I want you to see the output from the select statement. that way you can help me do the if statement in the above cursor so that the result will look like this:
emailaddress
Subject: 'Project for ' || V_email || 'not updated in the last 30 days'
v_folderrsn
v_folderrsn
etc
[email protected]......
Subject: 'Project for: ' Jim...'not updated in the last 30 days'

How do I incorporate a if else statement in the above cursor so the two days less than 30 days since last update are not returned. I do not want to send email if the project have been updated within the last 30 days.

When would I use an if, for or while statement in Small Basic and what is the difference between the three?

I have a Y9 Computer Science Exam next week and I know that this will probably be one of the questions on it so I need to know the answer. What is the difference?

An If statement executes once IF the statement is true:
If 1 = 2/2 Then
Textwindow.writeline("True")
EndIf
A While statement executes WHILE the statement is true:
While 4 = 2+2
'Will keep looping while it is true
EndWhile
A For statement loops a number in increment:
For i = 1 to 10
'Every time through, i gets bigger by one until it equals 10
EndFor
It is written: "'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.'" Romans 14:11

If statement in sql

regarding the following sql:
SELECT a.lname, a.fname, a.user_id, c.address, c.city,
c.zip, c.addresstypeid, d.descriptor as state
FROM users a, address c, maintstatetype d
WHERE a.user_id = c.user_id(+)
AND c.statetypeid = d.statetypeid(+)
AND c.addresstypeid in (1,2,3,4)
I have a database of users and addresses. Each user can
have multiple addresses and the addresses are
designated by addresstypeid. In plain english, what I want
to pull is "If they have an addresstypeid of 1, pull that one
only, if not, check if they have a 2 and use that, if not, check
for a 3, etc..".
Any help with this?

What you want, then, is to pull the address with the minimum addresstypeid ..
SELECT a.lname, a.fname, a.user_id, c.address, c.city,
c.zip, c.addresstypeid, d.descriptor as state
FROM users a, address c, maintstatetype d
WHERE a.user_id = c.user_id(+)
AND c.statetypeid = d.statetypeid(+)
AND c.addresstypeid =
(select min(c2.addresstypeid)
from address c2
where c2.userid=a.userid
I'm not sure what this will do to your outerjoin, though. You might have to get funky with a union ...
SELECT a.lname, a.fname, a.user_id, c.address, c.city,
c.zip, c.addresstypeid, d.descriptor as state
FROM users a, address c, maintstatetype d
WHERE a.user_id = c.user_id
AND c.statetypeid = d.statetypeid
AND c.addresstypeid =
(select min(c2.addresstypeid)
from address c2
where c2.userid=a.userid
Union all
SELECT a.lname, a.fname, a.user_id, to_char(null), to_char(null),
to_char(null), to_char(null), to_char(null)
FROM users a
WHERE not exists
(select 1
from address c
where c.userid=a.userid
)

'IF' statement in a select statment?

I have the following cursor in a package specification;
cursor c_sales_code is
select sales_condition||' MC '||sales_option
from sales;This will return something like: 'T300 MC 9'
MC means 'multiple choice' for when there are multiple options. Although, sales_option is sometimes null and in this case I just want 'T300' to be returned, not 'T300 MC'.
How would I go about doing this?
Thanks,
fakelvis

Use
CASE and DECODE
to add the functoinality of Conditional Statements in Your SQL Statements..
These two CASE / DECODE will help you to get your desired output

If statement in select statement alias

I have the following select statement. It has the alias Survivors, Deaths and "All Cases". Is it posible to use :P_LANGUAGE variable to say that -- IF :P_LANGUAGE = FRENCH THEN alias are Survivants for survivors, Décès for Deaths, Tous_les_cas for All Cases. Please advise
SELECT ALL T_NTR_MULTIBAR.CAT, T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_LEFTBAR AS Survivors,

FROM T_NTR_MULTIBAR
WHERE INSTANCE_NUM = :P_INSTANCENUM
order by ORDERS

You may not be able to add this condition inside the SQL Statement. But you can add this condition outside the statement, if you're using PL/SQL...
IF :p_language = french THEN
SELECT ALL t_ntr_multibar.cat,
t_ntr_multibar.num_cases_leftbar AS survivors,
t_ntr_multibar.num_cases_middlebar AS deaths,
t_ntr_multibar.num_cases_rightbar AS "All Cases"

If Statement in PLD

I'm trying to set up a formula similiar to an If then statement with the PLD, and not having any luck. I need to create a formula on a sales order that says if there is no frieght on the order display "0.00".
Thanks.
Eric

Hi,
Create a field with empty value (Say field ID is 100).
Create a formula field which equals fields 100 and 186 (Say field ID is 101).
Create a formula field which has "not equals" as relation, within fields 100 and 186 (Say field ID is 102).
Create a field with the text 0. Link it with the field 101. Put it in the same place as the 186.
Link the 186 field with the 102.
Result: 0 will be shown when 186 is empty, value of 186 when is not empty.
Hope is clear,
Ibai Peñ

If statement in Custom Calculation Script

I have 16 fields and if even one of them ="1" I have to list it in another field. I do not want to count or sum. If one of those fields has a 1 in it I just want the other field to display Y and if none have a 1 I want that field to display N.
Please help.
Thank you in advance~mjc

You need to write a compound logical statement to evaluate all of the values and that statement needs to evaluate to true or false.
Do you know how to write JavaScript?
Do you know how to enter JavaScript calculations into a form field?
For custom calculation of the text field I could write something like:
// define an array of the field names to check
var aNames = new Array("Text1", "Text2", "Text3", "Text4",
"Text5", "Text6", "Text7", "Text8",
"Text9", "Text10", "Text11", "Text12",
"Text13", "Text14", "Text15", "Text16");
// define a logical variable that is true if any field has a value of 1 - default is false or no field has a value of 1
var bMatch = false;
// value for text field
var TextValue = 0;
// logical value of field being equal to 1 test
var FieldIs1 = false;
// loop through all the fields and test the fields value
for(i = 0; i < aNames.length; i++) {
// logically OR the result of field i value equal to true with bMatch
// get the value of field
TextValue = this.getField( aNames[i] ).value;
// test the value of the field
FieldIs1 = Number(TextValue) == 1
// logically OR the 2 values
bMatch = FieldIs1 | bMatch;
} // end field processing
// set the field value
if(bMatch == true) {
event.value = "Y";
} else {
event.value = "N";
You will need to change the field names to match your fields. You can add more field name or remove field names as needed and the script will adjust for the number of field names.

If statement in calculated batch characteristic (dependencies)

I have a little problem with calculating a certain batch characteristic.
The situation is the following:
I have batch char A, batch char B and batch char C. Batch char C is the result of the sommation of char A and B. The problem I have now is that batch char C only should be calculated when batch char A and B are different from 0.
I have a custom build interface that imports QM data to the batch chars. Default, all my batch chars are set to 0 so if I just say $self.charC = $self.charA + $self.charB, I always get a value.
Is it possible to some sort of IF statement to check if the value is different from 0?

Dear,
You need to try with variant table
take all the combination and enter in a variant table and see the result...it works
example
A     B      C
0      0      space
0      1      sapce
1      1      space
I hope you got it

IF-statement in Personas that is checking if control is inactive?

Hi,
I have this simple script in screen personas that is clicking the option: "Attachment list". Everything is working great if there is attachments.
If there are no attachments the option is "inactive" or "greyed out". This will result in a script error.
I thought this was going to be an easy fix by adding IF statement to the the script. But howerver I specify the critera for the IF statement the script will always try to click the Attachment list. The condition will simply always be TRUE.
Am I missing something here or is it not possible at this time to script an IF statement that is checking if the control is inactive or similar?
Best Regards,
Oskar Söderlund

There is another way, but it will get a little tricky.
Outside of the transaction IE03 you can check for the existence of attachments for a piece of equipment by looking in table SRGBTBREL. Field TYPEID_A will be "EQUI" and field INSTID_A will be the equipment number, zero-padded on the left to 18 characters long. Use SE16 to look in the table and you'll get the idea.
You could wrap this test in an RFC-enabled ABAP function and call that from your Personas script button. Use the return value from that RFC to decide if attachments exist or not and how the script should respond. Details for how to write such an RFC and call it from a Personas script are in this blog: Calling RFCs from a Personas script.
Like I said, this isn't straightforward and perhaps Personas scripting should include an active/inactive test in addition to the exists/doesn't exist test. Until then, however, there is a way if you don't mind a bit of ABAP programming.

If statement in a cursor

Hi
I am trying to have a if statement inside a cursor clause. But it gives me error saying that "PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "IF" when expecting one of the following: ( select <a SQL statement>". I know this is not the right syntax so is there any way that I can specify the table that the cursor should get its information from based on a if clause.
The typeID field tells me which table to go to to get the information from. So if typeId=1 then go to table1 if it is type=2 then go to table2 etc.....
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE FILLDATA(
     typeID IN NUMBER
) IS
data varchar2(16);
dataresult varchar2(16);
cursor c1 is
        IF typeID=1 then
     select value from TableName#1
        ELSE
     select value from TableName#2
        END IF;
     where id='1';
begin
     open c1;
     dataresult:='';
      loop
      fetch c1 into dataresult;
      EXIT WHEN c1%NOTFOUND;
         data:=concat(to_char(data), to_char(dataresult));
      end loop;
     close c1;
end
Your help will be really appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Or I guess:
DECLARE
    cur SYS_REFCURSOR;
BEGIN
    CASE ROUND(DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE(1,2))
        WHEN 1 THEN OPEN cur FOR SELECT id FROM t1;
        WHEN 2 THEN OPEN cur FOR SELECT id FROM t2;
    END CASE;
    CLOSE cur;
END;Also I can't think of a practical use for this here, but you can assign one ref cursor to another:
DECLARE
    c1 SYS_REFCURSOR;
    c2 SYS_REFCURSOR;
    c_generic SYS_REFCURSOR;
BEGIN
    CASE ROUND(DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE(1,2))
        WHEN 1 THEN
            DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Picked value: 1');
            OPEN c1 FOR SELECT id FROM t1;
            c_generic := c1;
        WHEN 2 THEN
            DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Picked value: 2');
            OPEN c2 FOR SELECT id FROM t2;
            c_generic := c2;
    END CASE;
    CLOSE c_generic;
    IF c1%ISOPEN THEN

IF statement in RB2.0

I am trying to use an IF logic statement in a report but as an expression, I have been searching the net to help me find an answer as everything I have tried is sending an error when I run The report feeds from multiple tables and has various
filters set of which I am extremely proud to say I figured out however I just can't figure out the right expression for this
Fields are non-numeric
Fields = Table3.Process & Table3.Processtwo
equation = IF Process is Blank/Null then return Processtwo
IF Process is Not Blank/Null the return Process/Processtwo
Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi,
If I understand you correctly, you want to use IF logic statement that if Table3.Process is Blank/Null then return ProcessTwo, else return Process/ ProcessTwo. According to your description, there may be two scenerios.
. IF “/”represents devide operation, please refer to the following expression:
=IIf(isNothing(Fields!Process.Value) or Fields!Process.Value="", Fields!ProcessTwo.Value,CInt(IIf(Fields!Process.Value="" or IsNothing(Fields!Process.Value),0,Fields!Process.Value))/CInt(Fields!ProcessTwo.Value))
. IF “/” is just a symbol of string connection , please refer to the following expression:
=IIf(Fields!Process.Value ="" or IsNothing(Fields!Process.Value),Fields!ProcessTwo.Value,Fields!Process.Value + "/" + Fields!ProcessTwo.Value)
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

If statement in Java Script

Hi,
I just want to create a simple IF statement. I have looked at two text books and the on-line help but it still does not work.
I have two fields.
One is called "IfTest"
The other is called "PFValue"
If "A" is entered in field "IfTest" then I want the text message "50:50" to appear in the "PFValue" field. If "A" is not entered the I want "50:25:25" to appear.
The formula I have entered in field "PFValue" is :
ProFormaInv.Invoice.PFValueB::calculate - (JavaScript, client)
if (IfTest.rawValue == "A")
"50:50"
Else
"50:25:25"
But it does not work. What have I done wrong? I have attached the pdf form I am creating which is a Pro Forma Invoice.
Regards
Chris C

Change the code to:
if(ProFormaInv.Invoice.IfTest.rawValue == "A")
{this.rawValue="50:50";
else
this.rawValue="50:25:25";
