JSON.decode not working

Hi All,
I have some JSON code that is generated from my server. I am
trying to decode the JSON using the as3corelib. I am receiving the
error Unexpected character v encountered. It's from the viewentry
line at the beginning of the attached JSON code.
Any thoughts on why this is?
I can't change the JSON being generated so I'm going to have
to handle it in the JSON decoder . . .

You property name -- xaxis in this case -- must be a quoted
string:
private function decode() : void {
var s:String = '{
"xaxis":["test1","test2","test3","test4","test5"]}';
var o:Object = JSON.decode(s);
var a:Array = o['xaxis'] as Array;
Alert.show(a.length.toString());

Decode Not working in sql loader

I had a requirement of loading flatfile into staging table using SQL Loader, One of the columns in the the Flat file is having values FALSE or TRUE and my requirement is that I load 0 for FALSE and 1 for TRUE which can be achieved by simple DECODE function...I did use decode and tried to load several times but did not work. What might be the problem
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'sql_4ODS.txt'
BADFILE 'SQL_4ODS.badtxt'
APPEND
INTO TABLE members
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "|"
( Person_ID,
FNAME,
LNAME,
Contact,
status "decode(:status, 'TRUE', '1','FALSE','0')"
I did try putting a trim as well as SUBSTR but did not work....the cloumn just doent get any values in the output (just null or say free space)
Any help would be great.....

Hello user8937215.
Please provide a create table statement and a sample of data file contents. I would expect DECODE or CASE to work based on the information provided.
Cheers,
Luke

DECODE not working!!!

Hello,
Why DECODE doesnt work in a computed unbound item,
my use is :
SUM (DECODE(item,'value',-(item1),item1))
the 3 items are in the same block,
I tried with :
SUM (DECODE(:block.item,'value',-(:block.item1),:block.item1))
How can I do this, I need the unbound item to be calculated automatically ,,,
HELP!!!!!!!!!

Hello Cal,
My problem is the following :
I have an unbond item in a bloc 1, inside I have to make a Sum, this sum must take consideration of a status and an amount witch are in another bloc2.
First, I have tried with a computed item :
sum decode.......), with no result!!!
Then, I used, a client side function ( a query on columns in tables), the result is correct only when I query the form the first time,
But, IF I change one of the items ( status or amount),
save the changes, the unbound is not refreshed although I recalcul it in the when- validate-item of the two items ( staus and amount), the error is something like: cannot update a calculated item...
any help ?

Decode not working on ViewObject

In the expert mode of the view object I have a Decode Statement as
DECODE(SUBSTR(ViewParameterPaEO.REC_STATUS,1,1),'I','INVALID')
Column REC_STATUS is varchar2(3). The value in the Data base is "I1"
If I access the data using DataTableComponent it returns "INV",
Now if I use <jbo:showvalue> tag it returns "I1" (This is the value in the Database).
Why is this happening.
Thanks

SB0460 AC3/DTS decoder not working on Windows 7 (Driver 2.18.0015)

Hello everybody!
I hope somebody will be able to help me with my strange problem:
I just did the move from Windows XP (x64) to Windows 7 (x64) and discovered that the X-FI's AC3/DTS decoder is not working. All I get is either noise/static/crackling (AC3) or no sound at all (DTS). I have an X-FI XtremeMusic card (Serial: MSB0460535000206P) and the decoder is working absolutely fine on Win XP.
The latest driver version 2.8.005 is installed. I have also tried the first driver (2.8.003) that was supposed to have fixed the decoder under Windows 7. The changelog there says: Dolby? Digital and DTS? decode re-established for sound cards that included decoding in their Windows XP drivers. No such luck for me.
My sound card is definitely supported so I'm wondering why it's not working.
Use Built-in Decoder is selected in the Audio Control Panel I'm passing audio to S/PDIF (from e.g. PowerDVD or MPC-HC). On Win XP usually the on screen display pops up when the decoder detects the signal, nothing on Win 7.
(Note that I am NOT trying to input a signal from an external source.)
Gi'ven everything I have tried, logic tells me that there may still be a bug lurking in the decode driver.
Any ideas?

FI think you have to pay now for the decoder when using digital output but not sure what soundcards are limited.... otherwise try this drivers and see this help but i dont know if they will work...

Json.encode not working in Flash CS6?

Hey all,
I just updated to CS6 last week and tried to run one of my applications that worked fine in 5.5.
I'm now getting an error when I try to compile it. The error is 'Call to a possibly undefined method encode through a reference with static type Class'.
The error coming from this line:
var myJson:String = JSON.encode(myData);
Importing the package com.adobe.serialization.json.JSON, so everything should be fine?
Is there a new way to encode/decode JSON data in CS6? Is there a fix around, or am I just missing something completely?
Cheers.

if you're publishing for fp 11 or better you will use the native flash JSON class. in that case, you should use the static parse() and stringify() methods.
if you're publishing for less than fp11, you can use mike chambers JSON class (https://github.com/mikechambers/as3corelib) that has static encode() and decode() methods.

Latest groovy library (Json slurper) not working in ODI 11.1.1.5.0

Hello,
My procedure in ODI is failing as I guess I'm trying to use a groovy library (Json Sluper) which is not available in ODI 11.1.1.5.0 . The error I'm getting is 'unable to resolve class groovy.json.JsonSluper'. Has anyone faced this issue and knows how can I resolve it?
Thanks in advance.

Can you try updating the groovy lib in odi with your latest one. You may find relevant information in support note [Doc ID 744351.1]
Thanks

Basic query using DECODE not working as expected.

Version:11.2.0.3
Platform: RHEL 5.8
I am trying to use DECODE function.
In the below example, If the search encounters the string "Enterprise" , then the decode should
return 'Enterprise' . But it doesn't seem to work.
I thought some hidden character was causing the issue, so, I used TRIM. But no luck.
SQL> create table t (banner varchar2(80));
Table created.
SQL> insert into t values ('Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production');
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> select * from t;
BANNER
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
SQL> select * from t where banner like '%Database%';
BANNER
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
-- Trying to use decode. If the search encounters the string "Enterprise" , then return 'Enterprise'
-- Although the string "Enterprise" is present , decode doesn't seem to work.
-- I tried using trim , upper . But no luck.
SQL> select 'EDITION', decode(banner,'%Enterprise%','Enterprise','Standard') Edition from t where banner like '%Database%';
'EDITIO EDITION
EDITION Standard
SQL> select 'EDITION', decode(trim(banner), '%Enterprise%','Enterprise','Standard') Edition from t where trim(banner) like '%Database%';
'EDITIO EDITION
EDITION Standard
SQL> select 'EDITION', decode(upper(trim(banner)), '%ENTERPRISE%','Enterprise','Standard') Edition from t where upper(trim(banner)) like '%DATABASE%';
'EDITIO EDITION
EDITION Standard
SQL>
Just don't understand why decode can't see the string "Enterprise"
BTW . Where is the preview button ?

It (a portion string matching) ain't work in DECODE, for this CASE has a advantage of using over it.
Like
with t
as
(select 'Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production' banner from dual)
select 'EDITION',
case when banner like '%Enterprise%' then 'Enterprise' else 'Standard' end edition
from t

JSON decoder decode is not working

I'm using flash builder 4.
The code below doesn't work nor it gives any form of errors.
import com.adobe.serializers.json.JSONDecoder;
var s:String="{hours:16, minutes:9, seconds:2}";
var obj:Object=j.decode(s);
Alert.show(obj.hours.toString());

I am using Flash CS5 and I have the same problems.
private function fetchUserInfo(data: Object): void {
    try{
           var arr:Array = JSON.decode(String(data));
      catch(e:Error){
            atext.appendText("error occured");
Error is always being caught.

[AIR 3.0] New JSON functionality doesn't work in FlashPro: Error #1065: Variable JSON is not defined

After upgrading the AIR SDK to 3.0 in Flash Professional CS5.5 I've found some problems.
First, the JSON class in the as3corelib.swc library now throws a couple of compile errors:
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method decode through a reference with static type Class.
1172: Definition com.adobe.serialization.json:JSON could not be found.
At first I was completely puzzled, since I had the proper "import com.adobe.serialization.json.JSON;" reference,
and I had the "as3corelib.swc" referenced in my ActionScript Properties, so how could that not be found?
Then, I found out that's because it conflicts with the new internal JSON class included with AIR 3.0
(maybe it should have been called something else, to avoid conflicts with Adobe's own as3corelib library).
The new native JSON class doesn't have the decode() method. Now it's called parse()
Ok, so I've tried using the new JSON class, but after changing decode() with parse() and removing
the "import com.adobe.serialization.json.JSON;" reference, Flash tells me that "Variable JSON is not defined".
Really? The JSON class is showing in the Flash Builder code completion popup,
complete with its all-new parse() and stringify() methods! So why does it say it's not defined?
Also, my SWF file gets compiled with no errors at all, so that verifies that the new 3.0 libraries are in place.
I only get the "JSON is not defined" error at runtime in ADL, not at compile time. Why?
In order to upgrade to the AIR 3.0 SDK, I've followed this guide:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/908/cpsid_90810.html
I know that's about upgrading to AIR 2.7, but I suppose the steps to upgrade to AIR 3.0 would be very similar,
only with the AIR3.0 SDK package, instead of 2.7.
I also took care to type version="13" in all the XMLs, instead of version="12" as stated in that guide, which is meant for 2.7.
Also, I followed this advice about adding -swf-version=13 in the Project Properties window in Flash Builder:
http://blogs.adobe.com/cantrell/archives/2011/08/how-to-use-the-air-3-beta-sdk.html
But that doesn't seem to make a difference, since, even though I use Flash Builder for code editing (which is usually used for Flex),
my project is a Flash Professional project, not a Flex one, and when testing the project, Flash Builder runs Flash Professional
to compile and then runs adl.exe (it's the same as if you click the option "Control / Test movie / in AIR Debug Launcher (Mobile)" inside Flash Pro).
In the "ActionScript Settings" window in Flash Professional, I also have the proper airglobal.swc referenced (from the AIR 3.0 SDK),
and the same airglobal.swc is referenced in Flash Builder as well (in "Referenced Libraries"), to get proper code completion.
I've tried all sorts of things to try to get it to work, but no luck. Still get the "JSON is not defined" error at runtime.
I'm starting to get desperate about this. I'm going to have to revert back to AIR 2.7.1, to stop wasting time on this issue.
BTW, I'm also having another unrelated problem (though maybe it happens because of the same reason as the other problem).
Now Flash Builder underlines the getTime() method in my code, as if it no longer were a method of a Date class instance.
I have a line where I ask for the timestamp like this:
ts = new Date().getTime();
That has worked perfectly fine up until now with AIR 3.0.
Now, when hovering the mouse cursor over the orange "(?)" icon that appears at the left, Flash Builder tells me
"Access of undefined property getTime". Why?
The AS3 documentation doesn't say anything about getTime() getting deprecated of anything of the sort:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/Date.html
In fact, in the code completion popup that Flash Builder shows, now there isn't any mention
of get or set methods, as you can see here:
I suppose I can use the .time property instead of .getTime() but I don't know why I'm not getting all the methods I had available before.
Any ideas why all this is happenning? Specially the dreaded "JSON is not defined" error.

Well, after much tinkering, I think I've finally found a way to finally make it work!.
I've created some modified XML files with the profiles needed for AIR 3.0 and after a lot of tries, it finally works!
I've uploaded them here: http://www.mediafire.com/?d5e761frl5px4
These are the steps needed to get AIR 3.0 running properly:
Put all three files into the folder "c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5.5\Common\Configuration\Players"
Then, make sure you've unzipped the AIR 3.0 SDK into the folder "c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5.5\AIR3.0" Do not overwrite the contents of the "AIR2.6" folder, as suggested by the "Overlay AIR SDK" article (linked in the above post). It gave me problems. It's best to use a different separate folder. My XML files point to that new "AIR3.0" folder.
Inside the folder "c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5.5\Common\Configuration\ActionScript 3.0" create a new folder named "AIR3.0". Inside that folder, copy the file "airglobal.swc" located at "c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5.5\AIR3.0\frameworks\libs\air".
Finally, you will have to keep the file "descriptor-sample.xml" in the "c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5.5\AIR2.6\samples" folder, but change the xmlns attribute to "http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.0"
Yes, you have to change that inside the AIR2.6 folder even if the SDK has been put into AIR3.0. That's because of how the publish settings work in Adobe Flash. It's hardcoded into a DLL, so that can't be changed. Not very intuitive.
I think AIR SDK installations should be a lot more straightforward than this! I know Adobe AIR is meant for developers, not for final users, but still, all these not very well documented upgrade procedures are a pain in the ***. I've wasted A LOT of hours in this (more than half a day), with what should have been a straightforward upgrade!
Adobe should make a SDK installer so we do not have to be tinkering with all these error-prone procedures each time a new update is released!
Well, I hope those XML files are useful to somebody and avoids further frustration.
Regards,
OMA2k
PD: BTW, I still have the .getTime() issue described in my above post, but it's not very important,
since I can still use the .time property. Still, it puzzles me why this is happening.

Case statement and Decode function both are not working in Select cursor.

I have tried both the Case statement and Decode function in Select cursor, but both the things are not working. On the other hand both the things work in just select statement.
See the first column in select (PAR_FLAG), I need to have this evaluated along with other fields. Can you please suggest some thing to make this work. And also I would like to
know the reason why decode is not working, I heard some where Case statement do not work with 8i.

DECODE does not work with alphabetic data in ODER BY clause

The following ORDER BY clause works when no parameters are involved. The data in the columns is alphanumeric. The first column is NUMBER in the Oracle database. The second is VARCHAR2. The last two are CHAR. It works fine with alphabetic and alphanumeric information in the last 3 columns.
ORDER BY
lin_itm_nr, eng_draw_nr, cage_cd, furn_meth_cd
However, when a DECODE is used to sort by just one field only, using the :TheSortCriteria paramater, Oracle Reports gives a "ORA-01722 invalid number ==> column-name" error where column-name is a column where the data is not all 0 through 9 values
DECODE (:TheSortCriteria,
1, lin_itm_nr,
2, eng_draw_nr,
3, cage_cd,
4, furn_meth_cd
Will the DECODE statement work when sorting VARCHAR2 columns with alphabetic and alphanumeric data?
Or will it only accept numeric data in VARCHAR2 and CHAR fields?
Thanks,
DT

Syntax:
DECODE ( expr , search , result [, search , result]... [,default] )
Your usage:
DECODE (:TheSortCriteria, <expr>
1, <search>
lin_itm_nr, <result>
Oracle9i SQL Reference (direct link follows) has this to say about DECODE:
"Oracle automatically converts expr and each search value to the datatype of the first search value before comparing. Oracle automatically converts the return value to the same datatype as the first result."
First stmt says: TheSortCriteria parameter has to be of number datatype or has numeric values if character datatypes, which I think is the case here.
Second stmt says: Since the first result is of number datatype, Oracle tries to convert the other results to number, which is why you're getting the error when the column-name is not numeric.
Try putting either of the other three columns as the first result and it should work (the number column will be converted to char, which is fine).

BTW,
when you see ORA-## in the error message, it points to Oracle error (not Reports error). In such cases, try running the query in SQL*Plus. If you see the same error, then check out the Oracle Database documentation for more info.
Hope that helps...

DVD Decoder Card Not Working

I have a lombard 333 that I have a dvd decoder card installed in. It also has a dvd drive. When I put a dvd in, it shows up on the desktop and seems to work fine, but when the dvd player opens it says the dvd player is not compatible with this machine. The decoder card shows up in the toolbar at the top of the screen. I tried other dvd drives with no luck. I also put the card and dvd drive in another lombard 333 which did the same thing. I have used the lombard and card before to play dvd's with no problem, now it does not work. What is wrong? Could my card have gone bad? Is there a way I can fix it? Thanks

Mac,
Unfortunately, no version of OSX supports DVD Player on the Wallstreet or Lombard. I am assuming you are booting into OSX since you have listed 10.4.8 as your OS. The only workaround is to boot into 9.x to play DVDs.

Pdf email attachments - error msg after download "not decoding" - creating DWORD key did NOT work!

I went to REGEDIT and installed the DWORD key as suggested by ADOBE to fix problem created by security update & it did NOT work!! Attempting to save then open the files gives same error msg. I sent multiple emails from a book scanner at the library with pdf files in quick and searchable formats & neither will open! Someone else that I forwarded the email to was able to open with no problem & he is running version 10. There is no option to load earlier versions!!!! I am running version 11 on Windows XP.

I scanned hundreds of pages using a book scanner @ the law library - the USB port was not working so I had to choose the send by email attachment option. Received 30 emails & NONE (so far) of the pdf attachments will open - the error msg states "Reader could not open "doc" because it is either not a supported file or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." I forwarded 2 emails to someone else running version 10 - he had no prob opening from email (I have version 11 & then I also reinstalled 9.5 & STILL getting the same error msg)! Used someone elses's computer who is running version 10 & same error msg. Each time I try a fix I then go to a 'new' unopened email & attempt to open an attachment that hasn't been previously downloaded. Adobe supposedly has a fix - from Regedit - create DWORD key @ HKCU/Adobe/Reader/11/AV General "bValidateBytesBeforeHeader" - I did that & restarted computer each time I installed etc - still NO solution! So unless you have another idea I have a THIRD 6 hour roundtrip to the Law Library in KC in my near future!
