Logging a string as the 2nd return value from a VI

I have a VI that returns a Boolean pass/fail which maps into step.result.passfail. I return another hex value from the same VI that only needs to be logged on the datasheet, but has no pass/fail status. It comes back via a telnet connection as a string. If I convert it to a number I can use the null type adapter and call it a numeric limit test with a comparison type of none and it will get logged on the data sheet without any pass fail consequences. It would be simpler just to pass back the string and have it logged. In fact this is a general case, there may be many times I just want something returned from a VI to be logged on the data sheet without any checking. What testStand tool/object/gizmo could one use?
Thanks,
jvh

Tool/object/gizmo to use is an Action Step
Action Step
The Action step calls code modules that do not perform tests but,
instead, perform actions necessary for testing, such as initializing an
instrument. By default, Action steps do not pass or fail. The step type does not
modify the step status. Thus, the status for an Action step is Done or Error unless the
code module specifically sets another status for the step or the step calls a
subsequence that fails.
You can use the TestStand - Evaluate.vi code module template to create a VI that includes a ReportText indicator.
Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T
If you don't hate time zones, you're not a real programmer.

Remote Object - not able to get the returned value from java method

     Hi ,
I am developing one sample flex aplication that connects to the java code and displays the returned value from the
java method in flex client. Here I am able to invoke the java method but not able to collect the returned value.
lastResult is giving null . I am able to see the sysout messages in server console.
I am using flex 3.2 and blazeds server and java 1.5
Here is the code what I have written.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" backgroundColor="#FFFFFF" initialize="initApp()">

    <scope>application</scope>
   </properties>
</destination>
Please help me .

You are not able to get the returned value because if you see the Remote object help you will realise you have to use result="resultfn()" and fault = "faultfn()"
In this you define what you wish to do.
More importantly in the remote object you need to define which method you wish to call using the method class like this
<mx:RemoteObject id="remoteObj" destination="sro" result="r1" fault="f1" >
     <Method name="javaMethodName" result="r2" fault="f2"/>
<mx:RemoteObject>
r2 is the function where you get the result back from java and can use it to send the alert.

Hi,
What kind of web page do you have? Do you have possibility to for example make RFCs? Then you could trigger events (with parameters that could "return" the values) and the workflow could react to those events. For example your task can have terminating events.

How to store the return value from a select list in page item ?

I'm sorry, I'm sure you will all flame me for this (and its long too :-(. I'm still trying to pick this up and havn't had time to read manual and this forum and up against the clock (as usual), but this must be something thats simple to do, otherwise why have 2 cols on LOV (display text and return value.
normal kind of thing - master /detail, a master table and a detail table, master.id is PK in master, master.name is the name of the master item. detail.id is pk in detail, detail.mid is foreign key to master.id. I have a tabular report that displays a join of cols from master and detail, with 2 cols being links, one is a link on master.name, that passes master.id to page P1 and it displays a row from master. The other col displays detail.name and passes detail.id to page P3, P3 displays a row of the detail table.
I want to populate a LOV with possible master.name values, but display the name of the current P3_MID value (from detail.mid). Then a user can pick a different master and it needs to update P3_MID so on submit it updates the row.
I just can't seem to see in the manual how you can specify where the return value on a LOV goes?
As I said, sorry for long post and not having had time to read docs correctly - someone just point me at the subject matter somewhere, please.

Sorry, I was trying to be to complex and obviously APEX is just too damn cleaver - I figured out how this works - basically APEX pulls the LOV and then matchs the mid to it to display the correct name - simple and easy - just me making it difficult

How to Sort by the length of the returned value from a query.

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to sort by the length of the returned value from a query?
For example if I want to get a list of people with the name 'Samuel', I would like to short by how short the length of the whole name is.
Sort by length of the name in SQL
Samuel Syda
Samuel Indranaka
Samuel Johnsons
Samuel Longhenderson
Thank you.

Hi,
Sorting is done by an ORDER BY clause at the end of the main query.
In most cases, you can ORDER BY any expression, even f it is not in the SELECT clause. In this case, it sounds like you just need:
ORDER BY LENGTH (name_column)
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all the tables involved, and the results you want from that data.
Post your query, using an ORDER BY clause like the one above, and point out where that query is producing the wrong results, and explain, using specific examples, how you get the right results from the given data in those places.

How to get return value from java and read by other application?

i want to read return value from java and the other application read it.
for example:
public class test_return {
    test_return(){
    public int check(){
        return 1;
    public static void main(String args[]){
       new test_return().check();
}from that class i make as jar file. How to read the return value (1) by other application?
thx..

If your installer is requiring some process it invokes to return a particular value on failure, then the installer is seriously broken. There are a bazillion commands your installer could invoke, and any of them could fail, which in turn could invalidate the entire install process, and any of them could return any value on failure. The only value that's consistent (in my experience) is that zero means success and non-zero means failure, with specific non-zero values being different in different programs.
About the only control you have over the JVM's exit code is that if your main method completes without throwing an exception, the JVM will have an exit code of 0, and if main throws an exception (either explicitly or by not catching one thrown from below), it will be non-zero. I'm not even sure if that's guaranteed, but I would guess that's the case.
EDIT: I'm kind of full of crap here. If you're writing the Java code, you can call System.exit(whatever). But nonetheless, if your installer requires certain exit codes from any app--java or otherwise--you have a problem.

How to trap null return values from getters when using Method.invoke()?

Hi,
I am using Method.invoke() to access getters in an Object. I need to know which getters return a value and which return null. However, irrespective of the actual return value, I am always getting non-null return value when using Method.invoke().
Unfortunately, the API documentation of Method.invoke() does not specify how it treats null return values.
Can someone help?
Thanks

What do you get as a result?I think I know what the problem is.
I tested this using following and it worked fine:
public class TestMethodInvoke {
public String getName() {
return null;
public static void main(String args[]) throws SecurityException, NoSuchMethodException, IllegalArgumentException, IllegalAccessException, InvocationTargetException {
Object o = new TestMethodInvoke();
Class cls = o.getClass();
Method m = cls.getMethod("getName", (Class[]) null);
Object result = m.invoke(o, (Object[])null);
if (result == null) {
System.err.println("OK: Return value was null as expected");
else {
System.err.println("FAILED: Return value was NOT null as expected");
However, when I use the same technique with an EJB 3.0 Entity class, the null return value is not returned. Instead, I get a String() object. Clearly, the problem is the the EJB 3.0 implementation (Glassfish/Toplink) which is manipulating the getters.

Subprocess 33 was not successful. Master cannot read return value from S 33

Hi All,
We are on BI 7.0 SP 19.
We have submitted a planning sequence in the background with automatic packaging.
The planning sequence has two steps:
Step 1. Z_PLNG_FUNCTION1
Step 2. Z_PLNG_FUNCTION2
As per automatic packaging, the system chose 0ACCOUNT for packaging.
When submitted, each step has been submitted to 30 packages as 30 subprocesses.
For Step 1, the log shows that All subprocesses executed.
For Step 2, the log shows that the subprocess 33 and 58 failed, which means subprocess #3, and # 28 for the step 2 as the subprocess is numbered in the log in combination with step 1.
The messages in the log for the failed subprocesses are as follows:
@5C\QError@     Subprocess 33 was not successful
@5C\QError@     Master cannot read return value from subprocess 33
@5C\QError@     Subprocess 58 was not successful
@5C\QError@     Master cannot read return value from subprocess 58
Our question is on how to find the exact cause of the subprocess failure.
I tried to look for the details on the error messages, they have been not helpful.
What is meant by 'Master cannot read return value from subprocess' and how to get the exact cause of the failure?
Thanks in advance,

Capture Return Value from Contextual Events Subscriber Method

Hi
I was wondering if anyone knew whether you could capture the return value from a method exposed as a subscriber for a contextual event?
Requirement: We have 2 bounded task flows (parent-child) with the child task flow embedded as a region in a view activity in the parent task flow. Based on an action in the parent task flow we raise a contextual event which calls an application module method exposed as a data control within the child task flow. We need to be able to capture the return value from the method on the managed bean.
Example method within child task flow application module:
public String contextualEventSub(){
Return "Y";
So here we would like to capture String value when the event is raised by the event producer (parent task flow action).
Within the Event Map on the page definition of the parent task flow view activity it is possible to set parameters to pass to the subscriber but it’s not obvious where you can capture the return value.
Many thanks!

You need to have either OUTPUT parameters or use RETURN statement to return a value in stored procedures. RETURN can only return integer values whereas OUTPUT parameters can be of any type
First modify your procedure to define return value or OUTPUT parameter based on requirement
for details see
http://www.sqlteam.com/article/stored-procedures-returning-data
Once that is done in SSIS call sp from Execute SQL Task and in parameter mapping tabe shown above add required parameters and map them to variables created in SSIS and select Direction as Output or Return Value based on what option you used in your
procedure.

Getting Return values from RFC function call with visual basic

Hi,
I am creating a sample app to connect to a SAP system which call its RFC functions created with ABAP. It was known that the function will return more than 1 return values.
   SAP Function name ==> "ZFMTP_RFC_GET_RESULT"
        Export parameters (to SAP):
                - Student Name [char 10]         ==> "STUNAME"
                - Student ID         [char 20]        ==> "STUID"
       Return values (From SAP):
                - Results [char 10]        ==> "RESULT"
                - Remarks [char 200]        ==> "REMARKS"
i have managed to get sample codes for connecting and call a RFC function with vb but they only get a return value. How do i retrieve multiple return values like the above function "RESULT" and "REMARKS"?
Here's my vb code to accessing the function
        Dim R3 As Object
        Dim FBFunc As Object
        Dim returnFunc As Boolean
        Dim connected As Boolean
        R3 = CreateObject("SAP.Functions")
        R3.Connection.Client = "000"
        R3.Connection.User = "BCUSER"
        R3.Connection.Password = "minisap"
        R3.Connection.Language = "DE"
        R3.Connection.System = "dtsystem"
        R3.Connection.Applicationserver = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
        connected = R3.Connection.Logon(0, True)
        If connected <> True Then
            MsgBox("Unable to connect to SAP")
        End If
        FBFunc = R3.add("ZFMTP_RFC_GET_RESULT")
        FBFunc.exports("STUNAME") = "Jonny"
        FBFunc.exports("STUID") = "12345"
        returnFunc = FBFunc.Call() <<== How do i get the return value? or RESULT and REMARKS of the RFC Function?
thanks alot.

Returning Values from Methods

We ran across some code in one of our classes that calls a private method. That method returns an object, but the code calling that method does not capture it. What happens to the return value in a case like this? I would have thought that to be a syntax error.
Example:
myMethod(myObject, i); // Call to myMethod without capturing its return value.
private myObject myMethod(MyObject myObject, int i) {
return myObject;
}What happens to the return value from myMethod?

(void) f(arg1, ..., argN); There's no
provision in Java to allow you express that same
intention.
What?!?!?public void f(arg1, ...,
argN);
In the C code, function f was defined as having a non-void return type.
The statement
(void) f(arg1, ..., argN);shows the caller is knowing ignoring that returned value.

RE: (forte-users) Reading return value from Javaprogram

when using the RunCommand method you can specify the an error file:
task.part.os.RunCommand(command = l_tdCommandLine,
isSynchronous = TRUE,
inputFile = Nil,
outputFile = Nil,
errorFile = l_ErrorFile.GetLocalName(TRUE));
BEGIN
l_ErrorFile.Open(SP_AM_READ);
EXCEPTION
WHEN Ex: FileResourceException DO
l_ErrorFile = NIL;
task.ErrorMgr.Clear();
END;
IF l_ErrorFile <> NIL THEN
l_tdFileContents : TextData = New();
l_ErrorFile.ReadText(l_tdFileContents);
l_ErrorFile.Close();
END IF;
Have you java program output the return value to the standard IO. This way
you will have an error file that you can read from Forte.
