Looping dynamic variables

Hi
I have the following...
<Cfloop from 1 to 100 index i>
<cfif isDefined ('FORM.JACKET#i#')>
<cfset jacketsize = #FORM.JACKET#i##>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
I need to know how to get the correct value from #FORM.JACKET#i##
Can anybody assist?
thank you
Delon

In the context of an HTML incoming data-stream (i.e. FORM), the data will always be "flat." Therefore, repeating values must be given unique names such as "JACKET18," which you do when building your code. It is perfectly acceptable thereafter to loop through "all possible values," checking that each one does or doesn't exist, as has been shown. Browsers vary in their handling of empty-fields: some browsers include them in the stream while others do not.
Outside of the context of an HTML data-stream, though, in the general sense any element of a Struct may be any sort of complex data-type you care to invent... array, another structure... or a simple data-value such as the numeral "2." myStruct.jacket could be an array of "jacket description" structures, each one containing who-knows-what.

Multiple Copies of Same Data in RTF - Looping using variable

We have a requirement, where an Invoice batch job will run
at night and pick up all the entire invoices, batch would contain invoices of
different customers.
Each customer will have DFF at site level informing number
of copies required to be printed.
Eg:
Customer ABC Invoice ABC111 No. of Copies -4
Customer PQR Invoice PQR222 No. of Copies -2
Customer XYZ Invoice XYZ3333 No. of Copies -1
I am trying to use following variable in the RTF, for the data to loop but it creates various problems
Grouping and Variables:
<?for-each@section:G_HEADER?>
<?for-each@section:xdoxslt:foreach_number($_XDOCTX,1,DFF,1)?> --- value coming in XML tag from DFF
<?for-each:/?>
The actual invoice tables and rtf
<?end for-each?>
Problems:
If I remove <?for-each:/?> tag, I am
getting the looping of data but the output file has no data from tags – only column
labels / headers appear ---- But looping happens
a.) With <?for-each:/?> tag,
sometimes the RTF works and looping happens along with data and something the RTF crashes with below error
oracle.xdo.XDOException:java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
b.) When I try with a data containing just single invoice – looping and everything works as expected.
However, if I load data which has multiple invoices each having different value in DFF for looping, entire file only contains first invoice ---- Looping happens still but does not proceed to next group
Solutions:
Can someone please guide me to the solution?
Please recommend what would be the correct syntax, so that each invoice gets looped dynamically in the RTF.

Here's the dataset I used and tried to replicate what you were trying to achieve:
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<ITEM>A</ITEM>
<COUNT>3</COUNT>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<ITEM>B</ITEM>
<COUNT>5</COUNT>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
Here's the code:
<?for-each@section:ROW?><?variable@incontext:G1;current()?>
<?for-each@section:xdoxslt:foreach_number($_XDOCTX,1,COUNT,1)?>
<?$G1/ITEM?>
<?end for-each?>
<?end for-each?>
So based on the count, there are 3 pages where A (from ITEM field) is printed and 5 pages where B is printed.
Hope this helps.

Order by dynamic variable

p_fromrow in integer,
p_torow in integer,
p_appTZ in char,
p_calcTZ in char,
p_sorton in varchar2) return varchar2 as

v_return varchar2(32767);
v_return_integer integer;
v_String varchar2(32767);
v_ex_ticket_trade_obj ex_ticket_trade_obj;
v_rowcount integer:=0;
v_rowtotal integer:=0;
v_done boolean:=false;
v_sysdate date:=NEW_TIME(SYSDATE,trim(p_appTZ),trim(p_calcTZ));
cursor cur_ticket_trade_event_open (p_event_id in ex_event.event_id%type, v_sysdate in date) is

where ex_ticket_trade.TICKET_EVENT_ID = p_event_id
and (ex_ticket_trade.ticket_datetime > v_sysdate)
and (ex_ticket_trade.ticket_trade_status in ('F','A','AB'))
and (ex_ticket_trade.ticket_suite_code='N' OR ex_ticket_trade.ticket_suite_code='Y')
order by p_sorton desc;
--ex_ticket_trade.ticket_datetime desc;
........then comes the rest of the code........
This code compiles fine but does not use the value passed in the param p_sorton in the order by clause.
the same code works fine when hardcoded to "ex_ticket_trade.ticket_datetime"
No idea where I may be going wrong?
Also can I do anything like ORDER BY v1 v2
where v1 specifies columns to sort on and v2 asc/desc, coz that's what I really need to do?
Pls help ...

Karuna

Creating dynamic variable names

I know there has got to a way to do this but I am not finding anything on google. I want to create a dynamic variable name like name + i so when your in a loop the names come out name1, name2 and so on till however many you want. I have tried
int name + i = 3;
int name[i] = 3; // which obviously won't but I had to try
int name{i} = 3;and I am out of ideas. Thanks for all your help.

I'd suggest using variables named j or x when posting code which uses them as array indexes.
[i] - is for italics formatting
[u] - is for underlined formatting
[code] is for class Example { ... } code formatting
etc.

Dynamic Variable Names

Okay, I just need to figure out how to make dynamic variable
names. In this case, I have a loop, and inside the loop I need to
create a new array for every iteration of the loop. Something like
<cfloop from="0" to="10" index="i">
<cfset LoopArray#i# = Some Value>
</cfloop>
But that doesn't work. How can you make dynamic variable
named? I think it's probably something to do with evaluate or DE,
but I don't know how to use them, and the livedocs make no sense to
me. Thanks!

From your values, you don't want a two-dimensional array
(which although
you're actually building LinkResults as a struct, with the
sequential
numeric keys, it's basically an array), you want an array of
structs, eg:
LinkResults
.player1.moveId
LinkResults.player1.damage
What is "i" actually counting through? IE: from 1-3 things...
which are...
what?

Dynamic Variable Names in OpenScript

Is there a way to use dynamic variable names? What I mean by this is that the variable name in the file could be:
Name1, Name2, Name3, etc.
I may want to loop through these by saying something like:
For i = 0; i < iLoop; i++
String sFieldName = "{{ViewList.Name" + Integer.toString(i) + "}}";
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "sFieldName: " + "{{ViewList.{{sFieldName}}}}");
I don't want it to use the literal string of {{ViewList.Name1}}, but rather, I want to use the value from the DataBank for Name1. Thanks.

Nishanth,
Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately, this is not a simple variable replacement. I want the name of the variable to be dynamic in nature. Imagine that I have 5 variables in the files named:
Name
FoodPref1
FoodPref2
FoodPref3
FoodPref4
I would like to loop through these and construct the variable name dynamically so it would be something similar to:
for i=1 to 4; i++
sFoodPrefVar = "FoodPref" + i;
getVariables().set("FoodPref",sFoodPrefVar);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Your Food Pref is: " + {{FoodPref}} + "\n");
This is pseudo code, but it would theoretically loop through the 4 food preferences. Thanks.

Dynamic Variables and New-Object - in a GUI

so, i have not found anything that i can parlay into a solution for what i am attempting to do.
Basically i am using powershell to build a GUI to manage websites on various servers.
in a nutshell:
- i have an array with the servers i want to query
- a foreach loop gets me the site names for each server (number of sites can vary on a server).
- need put checkboxes on a GUI for every site to do something (25-30 sites across 8 servers).
currently i am passing the $dir.name variable to a function that will create the new variable using this command:
$pName = $dir.name New-variable -name $pName -value (New-Object System.Windows.Forms.CheckBox)
$pName.Location -value (New-Object System.Drawing.Size(10,$i))
$pName.Size -value (New-Object System.Drawing.Size(100,20))
$Pname.Text -value $dir.name
$groupBox.Controls.Add($pName)
Problem is i am not able to do anything with my newly created variable. I am trying to use the following code to position the new checkbox but i get nothing (same for text, size, etc.) I am not seeing any errors, so i don't know what i have going
wrong.
is this even possible?
I am able to create static checkboxes, and i can create dynamic variables. But i can't mix the two...

Here is how we normally use listboxes to handle form situations like this one. The listboxes can automatically select subgroups.
The hash of arrays can be loaded very easily with a script or the results of the first list can be used to lookup and set the contents of the second.
Notice how little code is actually used. This is all of the setup code needed aside from the from definition:
$FormEvent_Load={
$global:serversToSites=@{
Server1=@('S1_SITE1','S1_SITE2','S1_SITE3')
Server2=@('S2_SITE1','S2_SITE2','S2_SITE3')
Server3=@('S3_SITE1','S3_SITE2','S3_SITE3')
$listbox1.Items.AddRange($serversToSites.Keys)
$listbox1_SelectedIndexChanged={
$listbox2.Items.Clear()
$listbox2.Items.AddRange($global:serversToSites[$listbox1.SelectedItem])
$listbox2_SelectedIndexChanged={
[void][System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show($listbox2.SelectedItem,'You Selected Site')
Here is the complete demo form:
[void][reflection.assembly]::Load("System.Windows.Forms, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089")
[void][reflection.assembly]::Load("System.Drawing, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a")

$form1.WindowState = $InitialFormWindowState
$form1.Controls.Add($listbox2)

$form1.AcceptButton = $buttonOK
$form1.ClientSize = '439, 262'
$form1.FormBorderStyle = 'FixedDialog'
$form1.MaximizeBox = $False
$form1.MinimizeBox = $False
$form1.Name = "form1"
$form1.StartPosition = 'CenterScreen'
$form1.Text = "Form"
$form1.add_Load($FormEvent_Load)
# listbox2
$listbox2.FormattingEnabled = $True
$listbox2.Location = '237, 26'
$listbox2.Name = "listbox2"
$listbox2.Size = '120, 134'
$listbox2.TabIndex = 2
$listbox2.add_SelectedIndexChanged($listbox2_SelectedIndexChanged)
# listbox1
$listbox1.FormattingEnabled = $True
$listbox1.Location = '13, 26'
$listbox1.Name = "listbox1"
$listbox1.Size = '120, 134'
$listbox1.TabIndex = 1
$listbox1.Sorted = $true
$listbox1.add_SelectedIndexChanged($listbox1_SelectedIndexChanged)
# buttonOK
$buttonOK.Anchor = 'Bottom, Right'
$buttonOK.DialogResult = 'OK'
$buttonOK.Location = '352, 227'
$buttonOK.Name = "buttonOK"
$buttonOK.Size = '75, 23'
$buttonOK.TabIndex = 0
$buttonOK.Text = "OK"
$buttonOK.UseVisualStyleBackColor = $True
#Save the initial state of the form
$InitialFormWindowState = $form1.WindowState
#Init the OnLoad event to correct the initial state of the form
$form1.add_Load($Form_StateCorrection_Load)
#Clean up the control events
$form1.add_FormClosed($Form_Cleanup_FormClosed)
#Show the Form
$form1.ShowDialog()
You can easily substitute CheckedListbox if you like checkboxes.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How to generate report with dynamic variable number of columns?

How to generate report with dynamic variable number of columns?
I need to generate a report with varying column names (state names) as follows:
SELECT AK, AL, AR,... FROM States ;
I get these column names from the result of another query.
In order to clarify my question, Please consider following table:
CREATE TABLE TIME_PERIODS (
PERIOD     VARCHAR2 (50) PRIMARY KEY
CREATE TABLE STATE_INCOME (
     NAME     VARCHAR2 (2),
     PERIOD     VARCHAR2 (50)     REFERENCES TIME_PERIODS (PERIOD) ,
     INCOME     NUMBER (12, 2)
I like to generate a report as follows:
AK CA DE FL ...
PERIOD1 1222.23 2423.20 232.33 345.21
PERIOD2
PERIOD3
Total 433242.23 56744.34 8872.21 2324.23 ...
The TIME_PERIODS.Period and State.Name could change dynamically.
So I can't specify the state name in Select query like
SELECT AK, AL, AR,... FROM
What is the best way to generate this report?

Binding dynamic variable in XQuery doesn't work: ORA-00932

I have a table with several columns. One of those columns is a XMLType.
My goal is to have a query which selects rows from the table of which the XML column matches certain criteria.
I'm trying following example (JDBC) : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28369/xdb_xquery.htm#insertedID11
First, I created my own query, which looks like:
select * from MyTable t, XMLTABLE( xmlnamespaces (DEFAULT 'http://test), 'for $i in /RootElement where $i/SubElement[contains(Element, "someValue")] return "true"' passing t.xmlColumn)This works as expected. Next, as done in the example, I'm trying to replace the "someValue" with a dynamic variable.
Query then looks like:
select * from MyTable t, XMLTABLE( xmlnamespaces (DEFAULT 'http://test), 'for $i in /RootElement where $i/SubElement[contains(Element, $val)] return "true"' passing t.xmlColumn, :1 as "val")This does not seem to work, neither in SQLDeveloper nor in java.
I always get the :
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CHAR(SQLDeveloper just gives ORA-00932)
When I put $val between quotes (so "$val") then I get no error, but then I get no results either.
I think it will not replace $val in that case but just use it as a literal, so thats not what I want
I also tried to remove "contains" xpath and use the exact same example as on the oracle page
select * from MyTable t, XMLTABLE( xmlnamespaces (DEFAULT 'http://test), 'for $i in /RootElement where $i/SubElement/Key = $val return "true"' passing t.xmlColumn, :1 as "val")But this doens't help either.
I'm clueless about this, so any help would be appreciated

Ok, I tested it using the latest enterprise edition (11g) and there it works as expected.
However, on 10.2.0.1.0 and 10.2.0.3.0 it gives this error.
Is this a bug which has been fixed or should I do something special on 10g ?
I installed all of these as normal without any special settings, created the tables and ran the query...

How do I use a dynamic variable from a prolog script?

I have my test broken in to three scripts, a login, an update, and a logout. There is a dynamic variable, SERVICE_VIRTUAL_CLIENT, from the login script that I need to use in the update script, but I can't figure out how to do it. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: I forgot to mention that the login script is only run in the prolog portion of the UDP.

Scott,
You would do this the same way you would in a stand-alone script. Create the variable pattern in the login in script and name the variable. Save the login script and open the other script and select the parameter where you need the value. Set the parameter value to {{variableNameFromLogin}} (Variables are transferred from one script to the next in a UDP).
I hope this makes sense

Dynamic variable Time for Select

Hi,
I try to develop some scripts but always I have the same problem , when I try to put in a Select instruction the variable Time, it doesn´t work correctly (for example):
*SELECT(%example%,"ID","TIME","[ID]='%TIME_SET%' ")
It doesn´t read correctly the variable Time_Set.
Have you got any idea to try to do selects using dynamic variable?
Thanks for all.

Hi,
Dynamic variables like %TIME_SET% do not interact very well with the compiled default logic (LGX files) when it is run after a data send. If you look at the Default.LGX file, you will notice that your *SELECT statement does not appear there because that *SELECT statement has already been compiled. That is why the logic works when it is run via the debugger (because the LGF file is getting executed at run time) and it does not work when it is run via a data send (because the LGX is being executed).
What you will need to do is:
1. Create a another logic file (for example: Calculation1.LGF) and copy the text from the Default.LGF to this new logic file.
2. Place the following text in the Default.LGF file:
*RUNLOGIC
*LOGIC=Calculation1.LGF
*ENDRUNLOGIC
3. Validate and save the Default.LGF file
Now try running the logic after a data send and see if that works.
Good luck,
John

Dynamic Variable In a Type Definition

Can someone tell me how to define and use a dynamic variable, which resides in a Type Definition. I.E...
Type: beg of type1,
        field 1 type c,
        field 2 <---this dynamic
        field 3 type c.
      end of type1.
Can this be done in Netweaver 2004. And if so, can you show me how?
Thanks for your time.
Kind Regards,
Jason

Don't think it is available now, but I do believe they are working on this for a future release.

Dynamic variable value based on a value from xml

I have a invoice template and it is for 4 different companies in my organization. Based on the organization I need to have a different value for a variable that adds blank lines to the end of the invoice. Is there anyway to assign a value to variable based on the value of a xml tag.
Thanks

I should have explained better before. I have one invoice template and we want to keep it one template for all companies. Each invoice is run individually, each companies footer is different, I am calling multiple headers and footers based on each company. Since the headers and footers are different I need to be able to add different amounts of lines and the end of each invoice depending on that company. I have accounted for the page break in my logic based on the amount lines the page is long. I just need a dynamic variable that I can assign different values on the fly.
Thanks
