Instring error

I am writing a sql query, in that query I have
substr(ltrim(rtrim(sp.test)),1,instr(sp.test,'-')-1)
I am getting an error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
I checked the query by removing Instring option it worked. I need the query with Instring option.
any help would be great.
thanks,

Hi Scott,
I am trying to create a report using Region TYPE:
" SQL Query(pl/sql Function Body Returning Sql Query) "
In that query I have a column, which I have to split it into two columns to do that I wrote like this in my query:
substr(ltrim(rtrim(sp.description)),1,instr(sp.description,'-')-1) as Sampling_Interval_From,
ltrim(rtrim(substr(sp.description,instr(sp.description,'-')+1),length(sp.description))) as Sampling_Interval_To.
I am getting the following error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error.
If I remove "instr(sp.description,'-')-1" this it works fine.
Can't we use Instring function?
Thanks,
Ravi

Sounds like you need the infamous MOTU "Reset".
(the bleeps & squeals is a give away)
Follow these steps to restore the 828mkII to Factory Default Settings.
-Disconnect the firewire cable from the 828mkII

Compactrio RS232 question

I have Compactrio 9074. How do I setup the rs232 port setting. I try to run"LabVIEW 2009\vi.lib\Instr\_visa.llb\VISA Configure Serial Port (Instr).vi" to setup the port I get a error. I would like to communicate over RS23 with the compactRIO.
Port name = RIO0::INSTR
error code = -1073807331
Error desciption
Error -1073807331 occurred at Property Node (arg 2) in VISA Configure Serial Port (Instr).vi
Possible reason(s):
VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF001D) The specified attribute is not defined or supported by the referenced resource.
Sam

I have written LabVIEW for serial communication. I have the Serial
software that communicates between the instrument and computer. I want to
run the RS232 communication software on the CompactRIO. I got everything
working on the CompactRIO but the RS232 port. The RS232 software is fine
because I can run it on a computer talking to the instrument.
LabVIEW has a RS232 configure serial Port. If I call out the wrong
port, I should and get an error. If I call out the correct port, I should
not get an error even if the instrument is not connected. All I'm doing
is trying to initialize the port configuration.
On the compactRIO, I have NI-RIO 3.2.0(minimal) installed. I'm trying
to initialize the baud rate before I talk to the instrument. Attached is
the init vi I'm using.
Thanks for the response

IIF with InStr and LEFT -1 Causes #Error in SSRS 2008R2

Hello,
I'm using IIF with InStr to test for a "/" in a field on a report. The left function works fine unless I try to subtract 1 from it. This code works fine:
=IIF(InStr(Fields!WellCompName.Value,"/")=0, Fields!WellCompName.Value, left(Fields!WellCompName.Value,InStr(Fields!WellCompName.Value,"/")))
But this code causes the True condition to yield #Error in the report when I add the -1 to the end of the left function:
=IIF(InStr(Fields!WellCompName.Value,"/")=0, Fields!WellCompName.Value, left(Fields!WellCompName.Value,InStr(Fields!WellCompName.Value,"/")-1))
I do need -1 to remove the "/" but it doesn't work with IFF and LEFT.
Thanks

Hi SomeDBGuyOutThere,
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, your issue caused by when the value in the field WellCompName don't contains "/". the function "left(Fields!WellCompName.Value,InStr(Fields!WellCompName.Value,"/")-1)"
in the expression is invalid and will caused the error.
In your scenario, please modify the second expression as below to avoid the error when there is no "/" in the string:
=IIF(InStr(Fields!WellCompName.Value ,"/")=0,
Fields!WellCompName.Value,
left(Fields!WellCompName.Value,InStr(IIF(InStr(Fields!WellCompName.Value,"/")=0,"Test1/Test2",Fields!WellCompName.Value),"/")-1))
Note: when WellCompName don't include "/" we given an test string "Test1/Test2" in the expression to avoid the error.
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

I can't run visa interactive control window. ERROR MESSAGE: "Unable to open session "ASrl::INSTR" Status name VI_ERROR-RSRC BUSY Visa cannot curently access this resource.

Then change ports, this message appears for another port.
Thanks for answer.
Gita

The port is open by another resource. You note that you should also get an error if you try to access the port in hyperterminal. Try rebooting your computer and the first thing you try is opening a VISA session with Visa Interactive control(VISAIC).
If that fails, then you have a driver accessing your ports.
If it works then it was just two applications that were trying to access your port (LabVIEW and VISAIC are seperate apps even thought they both may be using VISA.)
Closing VISA sessions:
LabVIEW will only *automatically* close VISA sessions if you have this option set: Tools>>options>>Automatically close VISA sessions.
Otherwise you need to explicitly call a Visa close on the resource.

Error while using CURRENTMEMBER property in INSTR function

Hi,
I am looking for SQL 'LIKE' operator equivalent solution in MDX and I tried the below query.
SELECT FILTER([Company].Members, INSTR([Company].CURRENTMEMBER.NAME,"AA") >0) on columns from temp1.db
The above query is not compiling due to CURRENTMEMBER propery in INSTR function.
When I replaced [Company].CURRENTMEMBER.NAME with a constant "AABB", then the query is working fine.
SELECT FILTER([Company].Members, INSTR("AABB","AA") >=0) on columns from temp1.db
Also, CURRENTMEMBER is working fine outside INSTR function.
SELECT FILTER([Company].Members, [Company].CURRENTMEMBER.[GEN_NUMBER] = 1) DIMENSION PROPERTIES GEN_NUMBER on columns from temp1.db
Is CURRENTMEMBER property not supported in INSTR? I am using Hyperion Provider Services 9.3.1.
Is there any other solution for SQL 'LIKE' operator equivalent in MDX?
Thanks in advance,
Anil.

With Essbase 9.3.1 it ought to work. The following is a simple query that works for me:
select
filter (
     [Market].Members,
     Instr (1,
          [Market].CurrentMember.MEMBER_NAME,
          "e"
     ) > 0
) on axis(0)
from [Sample.Basic]

Why can't I get my InStr formula to parse my data without an error?

I'm currently designing a form in Crystal XI. I've created a series of variables to parse certain sections of a long note string (possibly 3,000 characters) and when I run the report in the preview it works beautifully. However, when I load the report into the application that deploys it and try and run it from there I receive an error:
Error -2147189166 : Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 400]
I believe the crystal viewer makes a copy of my uploaded report and saves it as a Crystal 9.0 report. Would that have something to do with why I get this error?
Does anyone have a code snippet that may work for parsing a string that big that they could share?

Hi
I guess you are using SQL Server in your back end. So if you are connecting your report through a connection which is through
"SQL Server Native Client" this error might occur. Instead of this connection try using "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server"
I might be guessing about your issue too much. But try this because I too had this kind of error when I tried connecting my report through SQL Native Client. I got this error on when then report is having a subreport in it. When I changed the connection the error is cleared too.
Hope the information will be useful to you

Followed deactivate instr but uninstall errors out

I followed the instructions to deactivate the serial number, including checking the box to erase it when the uninstall is complete. Then I proceeded with the uninstall via the control panel as instruction. It errors out without much explanation. Then I borrowed the installation CD again to reinstall and it also errors out. So I'm stuck in the Twilight Zone, unable to get this thing off my machine. I've spent over an hour on this website trying to figure out what to do. Anybody got any bright ideas? Thanks.

Listen, I really appreciate your willingness to help but I have a bad
feeling that if that help requires knowledgeable answers to all those many,
many questions, you're going to become ill with me, sooner if not later.
Frankly I never heard of anything requiring me to know the "system
language". Vista op system is all I know. It was a Photshop C4 CD. Yes,
I'm the administrator of my laptop. That's all I know about it.
Let's just skip it. It doesn't seem to have hurt anything that it didn't
uninstall correctly; I was just trying to cleanly remove it so I could give
it to someone in the office who needed it worse than I. She was able to
install if fine. Thanks anyway.

Error in running a function to convert coordinates in degrees to decimal for EXCEL VBA

and the story of the error is as below:
Currently I am working on VBA excel to create a widget to verify coordinates whether it lies under the radius of ANOTHER predefined and pre-specified sets of coordinates.
In the module, I want to convert the coordinates from degrees to decimal before doing the calculation - as the formula of the calculation only allow the decimal form of coordinates.
However, each and every time I want to run the macros this error (Run-time error '5', invalid procedure call or argument) will appear. Then, the debug button will bring me to below line of coding:
degrees = Val(Left(Degree_Deg, InStr(1, Degree_Deg, "°") - 1))
For your information, the full function is as below:
Function Convert_Decimal(Degree_Deg As String) As Double

Thank you.
Your kind assistance and attention in this matter are highly appreciated.

You didn't give an example of your input string but try the following
Sub test()
Dim s As String
s = "180° 30' 30.5""""" ' double quote for seconds
Debug.Print Deg2Dec(s) ' 180.508472222222
End Sub
Function Deg2Dec(sAngle As String) As Double
Dim mid1 As Long
Dim mid2 As Long
Dim degrees As Long
Dim minutes As Long
Dim seconds As Double ' or Long if only integer seconds
sAngle = Replace(sAngle, " ", "")
mid1 = InStr(sAngle, "°")
mid2 = InStr(sAngle, "'")
degrees = CLng(Left$(sAngle, mid1 - 1))
minutes = CLng(Mid$(sAngle, mid1 + 1, mid2 - mid1 - 1))
seconds = Val(Mid$(sAngle, mid2 + 1, 10)) ' change 10 to 2 if only integer seconds
Deg2Dec = degrees + minutes / 60 + seconds / 3600
End Function
As written the function assumes values for each of deg/min/sec are included with unit indicators as given. Adapt for your needs.
In passing, for any work with trig functions you will probably need to convert the degrees to radians.

There are two ways to look at what error the PLSQLBLOB API is throwing.
1) Call your PLSQLBLOB API GNE_PO_CREATE_FILE_ATTACHMENT.Gne_Create_File_Attachment directly from a PLSQL block and verify that it returns the BLOB data successfully.
You could also call another WF API that in turn executes the PLSQLBLOB API internally. For example,
<pre>
declare
l_document blob;
l_doctype varchar2(240);
l_aname varchar2(90);
begin
dbms_lob.CreateTemporary(l_document, true, dbms_lob.Session);
-- 207046 - This is the notification id of your failed workflow
-- PO_REPORT - Document type attribute
-- 'text/html' - Content Type being generated for
Wf_Notification.GetAttrBLOB(207046, 'PO_REPORT', 'text/html', l_document, l_doctype, l_aname);
-- Print the size of the document here to verify it was fetched correctly
end;
</pre>
2) Turn on log for SYSADMIN user with following attributes.
Log Enabled = TRUE
Log Level = ERROR
Log Module = wf.plsql%
Restart the Workflow Deferred Agent Listener and Workflow Notification Deferred Agent Listener and run your workflow process. Search for log messages written for above context and you can identify the error at wf.plsql.WF_XML.GetAttachment module with message starting as "Error when getting BLOB attachment ->"
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Made the same changes but still getting the same error.
The earlier URL also that I had mentoned would dynamically make this url mentioned by you and then shows the pop up window.
However when I am right clicking on the download link and then clicking 'Save target as' then this error message is provided:
Internet Cannot download [schema name].download_myfile2 from [DNS name]
Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet Site.The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found .Please try again.
Please help..
Thanks in Advance ...

Thanks for your cooperation. I have solved my problem by myself. The fact was that, when i tried with the following code which made my report---
SELECT br.bid, br.bname, br.branchtxnstatus, dif.difference
FROM branch br,
(SELECT gladbrid branchid,
SUM
(CASE

WHERE ga.glid = gd.gladglid
GROUP BY gladbrid) dif
WHERE dif.branchid = br.bid AND br.branchtxnstatus = :Br_Status
and dif.difference!=0
ORDER BY br.bid;
and the code against the button or menu item is---

Clear_message;
which has shown the error FRM-92101 and didn't run the report.
In that case I have changed the query to run the report. first of all i create a view following the query and build the report using a simple select query. that's etc. my report running fine now.
It is mentioned that there had no error on my codes.

Error in using DBMS_LOB Package

Hi,
I am attaching a PDF File through a database procedure as shown below
create or replace procedure load_document(document_id in number, filename IN varchar2, doc_desc IN VARCHAR2, doc_type IN VARCHAR2) as
f_lob bfile;
b_lob blob;
--document_name varchar2(30);
--mime_type varchar2(30);
document_name oea_documents.document_name%TYPE;
mime_type oea_documents.document_mime_type%TYPE;
dot_pos number;
v_file_type VARCHAR2(10);
begin
-- Find the position of the dot ('.') located in the filename
dot_pos := instr(filename,'.');
-- Get the filename without extension and use it as image name
document_name := substr(filename,1,dot_pos-1);
-- Build the mime type . Retrieve the file extension and add it to 'image/'
v_file_type := SUBSTR( filename, dot_pos+1, Length(Filename) );
IF ( UPPER(v_file_type) IN ('JPG','JPEG','TIF','TIFF','GIF') ) THEN
mime_type := 'image/'||substr( filename , dot_pos+1 , length(filename) );
ELSIF ( UPPER(v_file_type) = 'PDF' ) THEN
mime_type := 'application/pdf';
ELSIF ( UPPER(v_file_type) = 'DOC' )THEN
mime_type := 'application/msword';
ELSIF ( UPPER( v_file_type) = 'XLS') THEN
mime_type := 'application/ms-excel';
ELSE
mime_type := 'image/'||substr( filename , dot_pos+1 , length(filename) );
END IF;
insert into oea_documents (document_id,
document_name,
document_mime_type,
document,
document_description,
document_type
values(document_id, document_name, mime_type, empty_blob(),doc_desc,doc_type) return document into b_lob;
-- /!\ Directory name has to be UpperCase !
f_lob := bfilename('FILE_LOAD',filename);
o_dset_test('5');
dbms_lob.fileopen(f_lob,dbms_lob.file_readonly);
o_dset_test('6');
dbms_lob.loadfromfile(b_lob,f_lob,dbms_lob.getlength(f_lob) );
dbms_lob.fileclose(f_lob);
commit;
end;
FILE_LOAD is a folder on the database server(unix).
I have also tried to give the full path on the unix databse server instead of FILE_LOAD directory but then it gives error ora-22285.
while executing this procedure I am getting the error ora-22288(Invalid file or directory).
But this occurs randomly
For instance i tried to attach a pdf file with the name cross.pdf ,it gave me the above error and when i renamed the file as Cross.pdf it attached successfully.
The error comes whilke executing the statement dbms_lob.fileopen(f_lob,dbms_lob.file_readonly);
Please guide on the above issue.

FILE_LOAD is a folder on the database server(unix).
I have also tried to give the full path on the unix databse server instead of FILE_LOAD directory but then it gives error ora-22285.The first argument to BFILENAME is the name of a directory object, as found in the directory_name column of all_directories. That is not the same thing as a folder name, which is found in the directory_path column of all_directories. Look up [CREATE DIRECTORY|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/statements_5007.htm#sthref6211] in the SQL Language manual for a description of Oracle's directory objects.
If you have problems with this, post the results of
SELECT *
FROM all_directories;It might also be useful to see the Oracle "CREATE DIRECTORY" command that was used.

This error message is very similiar to the message that Shanthir posted on Jan, 21. I did run the dbmslob.sql, but it doesn't help. Anybody has ideas how to solve it?
I used the PL/SQL web toolkit provided by OAS4.0.8.1. I believe oracle web agent is replaced by this toolkit.
Thanks,

Hi,
Glad that somebody else too got this problem. Well, as I had mentioned in my previous posting too, I think there are some procedures in the package, dbms_lob, like the writeappend, createtemporary etc.. which is not found in my dbms_lob.sql file, I am using 8.0.5, but I found these procedures in the 8i, I think it is becos of that.
By the way if anybody got this solution and got any workaround, please help me too.
I am still waiting for the solution to that.
Shanthi
