Internal Representation of RSSELDONE~LNR

The field RSSELDONELNR references the system data element RSNRCHAR which is CHAR10. When I try to use this field in a WHERE clause, the only success I have had so far is to code WHERE rsseldonelnr = "%1" which of course will return any row where this field ends with a "1". What I really want is only the rows where it's <b>exactly</b> equal to "1", but I need the proper syntax for this. I have tried "1", "_________1", "0000000001", and " 1" but they all return zero rows, sy-subrc=4.

Hi,
u have to convert the number into char by appending zero before it .
that is
lv_char10 type char 10.
Steps required are
1) lv_char10 = 1.
2) use FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT
INPUT = lv_char10
OUTPUT = lv_char10.
it will convert
1-------> 0000000001
if it is
12-----> 0000000012
1212---> 0000001212
it is possible for any number.
Number of zero appended is equal to empty space in the variable.
in our case 9 zero where appended.
if it is char20 then 19 zeros will be appended.
Mark Helpfull answers

Wm_Valid: Fail to convert to internal representation error while inserting

Hi,
I'm trying to execute an insert via XmlCommand. The table is created with this statement:
create table testtable4 (testtable4_pk number, mydate date, myts timestamp with time zone, wm_valid wm_period);
I have a problem while inserting on a simple table with wm_period field. The c# code is the following:
OracleConnection oraConnection;
OracleCommand insertCommand;
string[] KeyColumnsList = null;
string[] UpdateColumnsList = null;
string xml1 = "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n" +

insertCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
insertCommand.Dispose();
oraConnection.Close();
oraConnection.Dispose();
catch (Exception err)
this.WriteLogErr("ERROR: " + err.Message);
With the first ExecuteNonQuery I attempt an insert of a data value and a timestamp with timezone value. The execution is ok (xml1).
When the second ExecuteNonQuery is run (with the value of wm_valid), the execution fails with this error:
ERROR: ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: 'java.sql.SQLException: Fail to convert to internal representation: 01-01-11T00:00:00.000000000 +00:00' encountered during processing ROW element 0.

The stored procedure at row 111 calls this Java method:

The structure of complex data type wm_period is:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE wm_period AS OBJECT (
validfrom TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE,
validtill TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE);
The problem is: I am able to insert a timestamp with timezone value (myts) but I'm not able to insert a wm_valid that contains two values of the same type...
This works: <MYTS>2011-01-01T00:00:00.00000</MYTS>
This fails: <WM_VALID><VALIDFROM>2011-01-01T00:00:00.00000</VALIDFROM></WM_VALID>
I also tried to change the format of NLS_TIMESTAMP_TZ_FORMAT with a lot of various setup, but nothing changed.
Thanks in advance for your precious help.

Hi jschell ...thnx for ur reply......
the getString(2) parameter is just avarchar which
return the error from the procedure, if its ok,then
the query is executed properly..its just a check I've
kept to jump into the next step.If the status is OK,
then I'm retrieving the values from the cursor. I'm
getting right value for this parameter.I wasn't questioning the logic. I understand what you are doing.
However JDBC drivers can have problems when items are retrieved out of order.
You might also try switching driver types. If the thin works and oci doesn't (or visa-versa) then you know it is a driver problem and you will just have to try a work around.

First use code tags when posting code.
Second you can't simply use a java object as an database array type. It certainly looks like you are doing that.

Fail to convert to internal representation

I'm using the oracle 8.1.7 jdbc driver against oracle 8.1.7.0.0 running on Windows2000. I get the exception message below when I attempt to insert an jpub object structure into a callable statement.

From the stacktrace, it looks like a problem. However, if you can provide more code for this. We can figure out what went wrong. By the way, did you try this on Windows NT?

Fail to convert to internal representation: oracle.sql.DATE

I'm using the oracle 8.1.7 jdbc driver against oracle 8.1.7 running on NT, and I get the exception message below when I attempt to insert an jpub object structure into a prepared statement.
All date objects have been constructed from a timestamp object, using the oracle.sql.DATE Timestamp constructor. So I'm surprised to get this error given the timestamp object was successfully constructed.
I've tried session date formats of 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss' and 'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss', with no success.
I can call stringValue on oracle.sql.DATE and it returns a valid date.
Can someone confirm that they have been able to use the oracle.sql.DATE class to insert a date correctly into the database? Its seems a silly question to ask but you have to start somewhere!

The JPub/JDBC runtime is converting your Java object into Oracle-specific representation (all data is put in oracle.sql.XXXX format). The top level object is an oracle.sql.STRUCT, the attributes of which are represented as an array of oracle.sql.Datum objects - in your case an oracle.sql.NUMBER and an oracle.sql.DATE. However, the error does occur in the StructDescriptor which describes the SQL type and the shape of the object. Is the error dependent on the data values? Might null values not be dealt with, correctly?
One thing to try to do is create such an oracle.sql.STRUCT object from scratch with the same attribute values and insert/manipulate that using SQL.
I have not dealt with TAR's. If you send me a self-contained test case, I'll check it against the current development version of JDBC. (At least you'll know if the next JDBC release fixes this issue :-) I might also file a bug.

Coverting number formats to internal representation

I need a function module that will convert number format to internal representation. I am writing a program where based on the region that the program is been executed, the number could be 1,000.000 or 1.000,000 or 1 000,000. I need to convert them to internal representation 1000.000 so I can use it for dat manipulation

Hi Megan,
Try this Code..
data: i type i.
data: c(10) type c.
data: p(10) type p decimals 2.
c = '3.520,00'.
catch system-exceptions convt_no_number = 1.
p = c.
endcatch.
if sy-subrc = 1.
clear sy-subrc.
while sy-subrc = 0.
replace ',' with space into c.
endwhile.
clear sy-subrc.
while sy-subrc = 0.
replace '.' with space into c.
endwhile.
condense c no-gaps.
endif.
p = c / 100.
write:/ p.

Sql Exception: Fail to convert to internal representation

Hi
I have a column in my ORACLE table defined as
INTGROUPID NUMBER(10).
When I try to select some rows from that table with a condition using this column "INTGROUPID" by the below code, I am getting the above metioned error.
Code :
select *
from Sri.TBLGROUPCOCK
where
INTGROUPID = TO_NUMBER('747');

actually the to_number command is used to convert a string to number..ok..but u used it to convert a number.how could it be possible to you.So there is no need to convert a number to number.just use the normal command to get the elements in the table...
i hope it will help u......!

Sql Exceptionjava.sql.SQLException: Fail to convert to internal representat

} catch (Exception e){
               System.out.println("Sql Exception"+e);
     }

Please do this first...replace the following bit of code:
} catch (Exception e){
System.out.println("Sql Exception"+e);
}with
} catch (Exception e){
    e.printStackTrace();
}If you do this, it'll even tell you exactly which line is throwing the exception.

Scoping XSD to internal BPEL activity

I've come across a need to create an xsd definition to use in a DB write activity that is limited to the internal BPEL process activity. It just happens to pull together data from different sources that isn't exposed or defined externally. I don't think the transform offers the ability to use multiple sources for the mapping.
Anyway, assuming that is correct and I don't want to expose this internal representation how do I limit this exposure? Should I be able to simply add it to the bpel file?

I simply want to be able to localize (hide) the schema that I use to interact with the DB wizard. If I have a generate a special xsd definition to run the wizard on I don't really want to have to expose that externally (e.g. in a WSDL). The simple example I'm playing with requires multiple elements which are not contained within a externally defined element. I have to construct a new element and want to keep it internal.

Interned String underperforms when evaluating equality?

In the following code
    public static void test2() {
        if ("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz".equals("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy1")) {
            System.out.println("The same");
        else {
            System.out.println("Different");
    }Both Strings are interned so it should be possible for the implementation of String (interned String) to quickly realise that the internal representation is different and hence that the strings are different. However the implementation of String does not know that it has been interned (commented on in other posts) and so it has to do the comparison character by character until it finds the different character at the end.
This strikes me as poor. It means that for a fast comparison of interned Strings we will have to implement our own equality check.
Comments anyone? Apologies if this has been covered before; I had a look but I couldn't find this topic mentioned elsewhere.

Okay, here's a slightly different example:
public static final

public void myFunc(String key) {
if (key == KEY_STRING) {

}This looks like a good idea, however I don't know
where "key" came from, so I don't know whether the
equality check will work. Instead I could go:
if (key.intern() == KEY_STRING) {
You should not use intern unless you are storing the returned value. Intern is not so that you can compare strings quickly, it's so that you can save memory. if you have a large data set from a file and know that the same value is read over and over (say in a tabular format), it makes sence to intern all the data from the file as that way you can store a thousand references to the same string instead of the same string a thousand times. All constant strings from all classes are also interned, but this is only becase multiple classes might be useing the same strings, this also saves on memory usage.
Think about what intern actually does, it's not that magical. All intern does is have a static list with weak references to all the contents of the list. In the list is every string that has been interned. When you call intern, this list is searched for the string in question, if the string exists, then that string is returned, otherwise a new entry is added and that's returned. Probably, the same character array is put into the list. So yeah, it's going to take awhile to search that list if you do it all the time. It's not efficient to call intern when you don't need to.
If you want to determine if 2 string are equal, call .equals()
If you're really worried about performance of your .equals compare, then you shouldn't be using strings, use something more efficient, like integers.
== means 'are these 2 references pointing at the same object?'
not 'are these 2 objects functionally equivalent?'
That's what a.equals(b) means.

Please Help - Very strange problem with internal String encoding

I created a file in one-byte russian encoding cp1251 and declared String literal with 2 letters:
String str = "ab"; //attention! ab - two russian characters
After I got bytes from it - str.getBytes("cp1251") - it returned 2 byte's array.
Now I created a file with UTF-8 encoding with equal content and suddenly:
After I got bytes from it - str.getBytes("cp1251") - it returned 4! byte's array. Why?
I need to get a one-byte encoded arrays (cp1251 or koi8-r) but getBytes ALWAYS returns two-byte encoded arrays.
It is very strange: cp1251 is always one-byte encoded, but .getBytes("cp1251") returns two-byte on each letter. Why? Please help.

I did not read a string from a file. I created 2 .java files with different encodings (cp1251 and UTF-8) and compiled them, telling compiler with -Dfile.encoding=*** to read them correctly. While execution java interprets two looking equal in editor strings as different objects with different .intern() representation.
Why java consider source .java file encoding while creating internal representation of String object and creates from looking equally in editor strings two DIFFERENT Unicode representations. And it is impossible to convert one representation to other - impossible to get two equal byte[] arrays.

What are the different values available for type attribute

Hi,
    I am working with IDOC to Stored Procedure. For each field we need to give the values for 'isInput' and 'type' attributes. I need to pass values for 'datetime' and 'numeric' fields. What are the list of values availabIe for 'type' attribute. I know only about 'CHAR' attribute.
     Can anybody please tell me what all the values availabe for attribute 'type'. I am facing this problem while giving the value for type attribute.
Thanks in Advance,
