Line incomaptibilty betwwen RAW and CHAR data types in SAP Unicode System.

Hi Gurus,
I am working in SAP Unicode system.
We have transferred the standard programs for Non-Unicode to Unicode system.
In one standard function module, <table name> is defined in TABLES parameter as a type of TLINE structure, which has two fields - one is 132 length CHAR and other is 2 length CHAR.
In the same function module , one subroutine is being called, for which <table name> is passed.
But in the FORM of subroutine, this table is defined as a type of HLINE, which has only one field - 134 length RAW data type.
So due to confilct in data types ( CHAR and RAW ) , I am getting an error that both data types are not line compatible.
Do i need to use casting concept to remove the error.
Please suggest me the way to handle this.

hi,
declare the table as same data type.
dont go for any other types.
if you still want the form table as HLINE, then before the form call declare a varibale with TLINE data type pass the values to HLINE.
i think this will be little complex, because again it will be type incompatablity.
we can forcefully pass the values to HLINE with a class.
but i think no need, declaring with same data type might be easy.
Thanks
Vinod

Xmlgen.getxml Nested Cursors with LONG RAW and BLOB Data Types

I am trying to use a nested cursor with xmlgen.getxml that has a long raw or blob column. In either case, it will not return to me any data in the xml document pertaining to that LONG RAW or BLOB column. If I do not use a nested cursor, it works fine.
Example:
SELECT xmlgen.getxml('SELECT x, CURSOR(SELECT y FROM y_tab WHERE y_tab.x_id = x_tab.x_id) y FROM x_tab') FROM dual;
This will not produce the information I am after.
However, simply running:
SELECT xmlgen.getxml('SELECT y FROM y_tab WHERE y_tab.x_id = <somevalue>') FROM dual;
Works???
Any ideas out there? Does anyone know if DBMS_XMLQUERY has this limitation?
Thanks,

It doesn't appear that I am able to attach the PDF files. Can you supply your email (or I can supply mine) so I can send you the three files:
1.) A good PDF (manually extracted from our old application)
2.) Dump of the same PDF file (includes header/footer info)
3.) A partially fixed PDF file (but some of the pictures / pages are cut off - specifically pages 3,5,9,10,12,14)
The way that we have tried to fix the file (in example 3 above) is the following:
a.) Find the First Occurrence of "%PDF-"
b.) Find the Last Occurrence of "%%EOF"
c.) if the first "%PDF-" is found AND the last "%%EOF" is found, then
i.) Remove all data before the first %PDF-
ii.) Remove all data after the last %%EOF
Let me know if you need any other information.
Thanks,

Joining table using CHAR and VARCHAR data type as indicator

Hi All,
I would like to join 3 tables together but I'm unable to get a perfect concordance (using =) between CHAR and VARCHAR data type.
Does a command exist to get impartially all data treated as CHAR or VARCHAR ?
Thanks in advance for your help !

You want the database to perform with such a crappy database design? Good luck with that.. Instead, you need to look at why you are NOT using surrogate integer based keys for your data tables..

Initialization for char data type?

I observed that as String I can declare something like this:
String str = ""; but for char data type, if I declare:
char ch = ''; the compiler will have an error: "empty character literal". So how can I fixe this problem when I want to initialize my char variables as "empty"? Anyone got an idea?

Strings (and StringBuffers/Builders) are collections* of characters - so it makes
sense to be able to refer to a String with precisely zero characters. But char is not a collection of anything - it has whatever value it has and can never
be empty.
*collections with a small 'c'.

How to call VC++ dll whiich return char[] data type value in powerbuilder

Hi Everyone,
I am using PowerBuilder 11.1 build 8123.
I am calling VC++ DLL in our PowerBuilder application which return char[] data type value.
I just declare Global External Function:-
     Function char getOSSectionName() library "DocServClient.dll" alias for "getOSSectionName;Ansi"
And then call this function in window as:-
     Char      ls_section[1] = 'DOCAPPLICATIONS9X'
     ls_section[1]=getOSSectionName()
When I check ls_section[1] value in messagebox it display a symbol (please check attached attached image.)
VC++ function and return variable declaration:-
     __declspec(dllexport) char * __stdcall getOSSectionName()
       char    SectionName[_MAX_PATH];
Please let me know that my code is valid or not.
Please help..

Hi,
Thanks to Everyone for your suggestions.
I am solved my problem to change VC++ function as :-
     Int __declspec(dllexport) __stdcall getOSSectionName(char* SectionName)
                    instead of
     __declspec(dllexport) char * __stdcall getOSSectionName()
and declare global function as:-
       Function int getOSSectionName(Ref char ls_section[100]) library "DocServClient.dll" alias for "getOSSectionName;Ansi"
and call function in window as:-
     int li_ret
     char ls_section[100]
     string ls_sec
     li_ret=getOSSectionName(REF ls_section)
     ls_sec=ls_section

Does CHAR data type work with Forms 11g

We have an application in Forms 11g (32bit - version 11.1.2.0.0). DB is a Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production.
When our Forms calls a stored procedure which has parameters defined using column name type (i.e. like p_customer_code customers.code%TYPE ) and if the column data type is CHAR we get a run time error when executing the package (ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error string).
When we change the data type of the tables column to varchar2, it works??
Problem is we have dozens of tables with CHAR data type columns and we can't do all the changes manually. For one thing, if they are part of a primary or unique key or even foreign key, we can't change the data type of the column without dropping the constraint.
What is the solution to this pls??

When our Forms calls a stored procedure which has parameters defined using column name type (i.e. like p_customer_code customers.code%TYPE ) and if the column data type is CHAR we get a run time error when executing the package (ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error string).this might also be related to compile settings, check your NLS settings (NLS_LANG, NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS) both times when you compile forms AND your stored procedures.
As for the CHAR datatype: CHAR internally is treated like a blank padded varchar:
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:1542606219593
Speaking of that it might be time to use varchar2 instead your char columns. You'd have to drop and recreate your constraints, but with the help of the data dictionary (+user_tables+, user_tab_cols, user_cons_columns, user_constraints) and dbms_metadata this shouldn't be that hard.
Also you'd of course need to recompile all your forms after you are finished, but I guess you are aware of that ;)

The difference between FIELD-SYMBOL and normal DATA TYPE

Dear experts,
Please see the example below, both are output the same result.
DATA: EXTERNAL_RECORD(4000),
      POSITION TYPE I,
      LENGTH TYPE N,
      ENTRY TYPE STRING.
EXTERNAL_RECORD = '0005Smith0007Edwards0005Young'.
DO.
LENGTH = EXTERNAL_RECORD+POSITION(4).
IF LENGTH = 0.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
ADD 4 TO POSITION.
MOVE EXTERNAL_RECORD+POSITION(LENGTH) TO ENTRY.
WRITE ENTRY.
ADD LENGTH TO POSITION.
IF POSITION >= 4000.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
--OR It can be written as--
DATA: EXTERNAL_RECORD(4000),
      POSITION TYPE I,
      LENGTH TYPE N.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <ENTRY>.
EXTERNAL_RECORD = '0005Smith0007Edwards0005Young'.
DO.
LENGTH = EXTERNAL_RECORD+POSITION(4).
IF LENGTH = 0.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
ADD 4 TO POSITION.
ASSIGN EXTERNAL_RECORD+POSITION(LENGTH) TO <ENTRY>.
WRITE <ENTRY>.
ADD LENGTH TO POSITION.
IF POSITION >= 4000.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
Is there any special circumstances we need to use FIELD-SYMBOL?
Why is FIELD-SYMBOL is introduce in the first place?
Kindly advice with example.
Thanks in advance for those who can help me on this.

HI,
You can use field symbols to make the program more dynamic. In this example the name of a table control is substituted by a field symbol. Thus you cal call the form with any internal table, using the name of the table control as a parameter.
Example
form insert_row
using p_tc_name.
field-symbols <tc> type cxtab_control. "Table control
assign (p_tc_name) to <tc>.
insert 100 lines in table control
<tc>-lines = 100.
Field symbols allow you to:
**     Assign an alias to a data object(for example, a shortened
        name for data objects structured through several hierarchies
        - <fs>-f instead of rec1-rec2-rec3-f)
**     Set the offset and length for a string variably at runtime
**     Set a pointer to a data object that you determine at runtime (dynamic ASSIGN)
**     Adopt or change the type of a field dynamically at runtime
**     Access components of a structure
**     (from Release 4.5A) Point to lines of an internal table
        (process internal tables without a separate work area)
Field symbols in ABAP are similar to pointers in other programming
languages. However, pointers (as used in PASCAL or C) differ from ABAP
field symbols in their reference syntax.
The statement ASSIGN f to <fs> assigns the field f to field
symbol <fs>. The field symbol <fs> then "points" to the
contents of field f at runtime. This means that all changes to the
contents of f are visible in <fs> and vice versa. You declare
the field symbol <fs> using the statement FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs>.
Reference syntax
Programming languages such as PASCAL and C use a dereferencing symbol
to indicate the difference between a reference and the object to which
it refers; so PASCAL would use p^ for a pointer instead of p, C would
use *p instead of p. ABAP does not have any such dereferencing symbol.
**     In PASCAL or C, if you assign a pointer p1 to a pointer p2,
you force p1 to point to the object to which p2 refers (reference semantics).
**     In ABAP, if you assign a field symbol <fs1> to a field
symbol <fs2>, <fs1> takes the value of the data object to
which <fs2> refers (value semantics).
**     Field symbols in ABAP are always dereferenced, that is,
they always access the referenced data object. If you want to
change the reference yourself in ABAP, you can use the ASSIGN statement
to assign field symbol <fs1> to field symbol <fs2>.
Using field symbols
You declare field symbols using the FIELD-SYMBOLS statement.
They may be declared either with or without a specific type.
At runtime you assign a field to the field symbol using the ASSIGN
statement. All of the operations on the field symbol act on the field
assigned to it.
When you assign a field to an untyped field symbol, the field symbol
adopts the type of the field. If, on the other hand, you want to assign
a field to a typed field symbol, the type of the field and that of the
field symbol must be compatible.
A field symbol can point to any data object and from Release 4.5A,
they can also point to lines of internal tables.
The brackets (<>) are part of the syntax.
Use the expression <fs> IS ASSIGNED to find out whether the field
symbol <fs> is assigned to a field.
The statement UNASSIGN <fs> sets the field symbol <fs> so
that it points to nothing. The logical expression <fs>
IS ASSIGNED is then false. The corresponding negative expression
is IF NOT <fs> IS ASSIGNED.
An unassigned field symbol <fs> behaves as a constant with
type C(1) and initial value SPACE.
MOVE <fs>
TO dest     Transfers the initial value SPACE to the variable dest
MOVE 'A' to <fs>
Not possible, since <fs> is a constant
(runtime error).
To lift a type restriction, use the CASTING addition in the
ASSIGN statement. The data object is then interpreted as though
it had the data type of the field symbol. You can also do this
with untyped field symbols using the CASTING TYPE <type> addition.
The danger with pointers is that they may point to invalid areas.
This danger is not so acute in ABAP, because the language does not
use address arithmetic (for example, in other languages, pointer p
might point to address 1024. After the statement p = p + 10, it would
point to the address 1034). However, the danger does still exist, and
memory protection violations lead to runtime errors.
A pointer in ABAP may not point beyond a segment boundary. ABAP does
not have one large address space, but rather a set of segments.
Each of the following has its own segment:
*     All global data
*     All local data
*     Each table work area (TABLES)
*     Each COMMON PART
You should only let field symbols move within an elementary field or
structure where ABAP allows you to assign both within the global data
and beyond a field boundary.

Oracle 10g XE and CLOB data type

I am using Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 Express Edition and I wish to store large amounts of data in a CLOB column. I have created my table using a "standard" SQL statement similar to the following:
CREATE TABLE LotsofData(
id INT NOT NULL,
data CLOB);
The table is created successfully, so far so good.
And I used a "standard" insert SQL statement to insert large amount of data into the before mentioned table, similar to the follwing:
INSERT INTO LotsofData VALUES('4043', 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog <insert more iterations>');
The data being inserted takes up 4043 bytes. Now when attempting, using among other programs the handy web interface, to execute the insert statement I get this error:
Error starting at line 1 in command:
INSERT INTO LotsofData VALUES('4043', 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog <insert more iterations>');
Error at Command Line:1 Column:38
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-01704: string literal too long
Now if I reduce the size of the data to be inserted to 4000 bytes or below there is no problem. I have performed searches on google groups, google search engine, the oracle site, this forum but not found a way to solve it... I have found documentation stating that there is support for 4gb of user data, but well that doesn't really help.
I have been on the trail of TABLESPACE and working with that, but with no luck. The data type BFILE will not work as I need to be able to change the data after it has been inserted into the table.
Is the 4000 bytes a limitation in the Express Edition and I should just forget it, or is there a way I configure the database to accept large amounts of data. Should I be creating the table using a different SQL statement?
kind regards
Chris Nilsson

Right... I found out how you can solve this, well not through the web interface... but oh well it is possible though...
the error I was getting was: ORA-01704: string literal too long.
the keyword/phrase is "bind variables"... Did a little more searching and found this site:
http://www.akadia.com/services/ora_bind_variables.html
So basically you use bind variables to insert data which fills more than 4000 bytes...
Since the data I will be inserting will be inserted via Java/.NET application I found the section called "Bind Variables in VB, Java and other applications" the most interesting... During my testing and I had neglected to use PreparedStatements in Java, and according to the site, using PreparedStatement provided an easier solution as the API does most of the work for you. My solution was to create a small program which read the large amounts of data from a file then feed this to a PreparedStatement, setObject or setASCIIStream/setCharacterStream, then execute it.
Well I hope this helps other people who get the same error code.

Dates in BEx query coming into designer as a dimension with Char data type

This must be an old issue with a well documented work around ... but alas i can find it !
When i build a universe over a BEx query with dates the universe designer builds them as Dimensions of CHAR type not DATE. Therefore all WebI date functionality fails .. eg sorting, automatic time hierarchies etc.
What is the workaround ?
Andrew Fox

Is the data source an InfoSet or an InfoCube? It appears the date type object has not been implemented yet for Infosets. Here's SAP Note 1370410:
Symptom
Infoset date type objects (DATS type) are mapped as Character types in a universe based on a SAP BEX Query.
Prompts related to the Date field variables are coming as List of values instead of Calendar in WebIntelligence.
Reproducing the Issue
Create a BusinessOjects universe on a Super Query which is based on a multiprovider containing an Infoset or
Create a BEx superquery directly on Infoset.
BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1
SAP Integrated Solutions Kit XI 3.1
Cause
This behaviour has been considered as an enhancement request and tracked under ADAPT01229917.
Resolution
This enhancement request is scheduled to be addressed in Service Pack 3 (SP3) for BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 due approximately April 2010.
I did try a BEx query that uses an InfoCUBE as a source and the objects are coming into the universe correctly as dates.
