Make a number in column A always return a different specific number in column B

I'm trying to create a retirement calculator.
How do I set it up so that no matter where a specific number appears in column A, column B, same row, always returns a different specific number.
This second number cannot be derived from the first mathematically.
example:
Column A your current age is entered in the first cell.
Column B is the Life Expectency Factor (LEF). Before age 70 it is 0. At age 70 that number is 24.7, at 71 it is 26.4 etc.
Column C returns the Minimum Required Distribution (How much one has to withdraw) (B * $IRA = $MinDist)
Depending on the age in the first cell of column A, age 70 could be in any row.
How can I have the LEF in column B move with the age so that no matter in which row age 70 may appear in column A, that row in column B always returns 24.7 and age 71 always returns 26.4... and on.
No matter which row 70 is in, 24.7 is always next to it in the same row. This will go from 70 to 100 each with a specific LEF next to it.
Thanks

Hi Les,
Setup a Lookup table listing the LEF in column B beside each age in column A. Assuming one header row, start with 0 and 0 in A2 and B2, 70 and 24.7 in A3 and B3, etc.
On your Main table, enter the formula below in the first data cell of Main::column B (B2, again assuming a single header row for labels). Fill the formula down to the end of the table.
Main::B2: =LOOKUP(A,Lookup::$A,Lookup::$B)
Fill the formula to the end of column B
Numbers on the lookup table on the right are from the (US) government Social Security Administration Actuarial Life Table, and may not (do not, for the two examples in your post) agree with those you are using.

Barry

Field Number(19,8) always returns Zero!

Thanks for reading this
I am developing an application in VB6 on
NT 4 SP5 and have come accross a very strange
error. This project is a migration from
Sequel Server, I am redoing an ACCESS application.
In one of the tables, the Latitude and Longitude is stored as of Type Number(19,8)
(don't ask why - I didn't design the tables).
All of the data is being retrieved through disconnected ADO recordsets. The data is being written with ADO connection SQL statements.
Writing of the values through the Oracle ODBC driver seems to work properly (8.01.05 - 02/02/99). When I read the values through a ADO Recordset query, the latitude and longitude always returns 0 (when they are not null).
I tried switching to the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle, and that driver works fine. The latitude and longitude are correct.
I can view the data fine through SQL Plus or
ACCESS via linked Tables, so the data is OK.
Thanks
John
null

And what does this have to do with JDBC?
There was a bug in one of the earlier 8.x Oracle ODBC drivers that woukld cause this behavior. Get the latest patch version of the driver frorm Oracle support and you will be fine.

PCI-6133 always returns huge constant number of counts

Hi,
I am trying to use a PCI-6133 with a BNC-2110 adapter to counting leading edges of pulses. Please excuse my high degree of ignorance of how to do this. Anyway, I connected up my TTL input signal according to the BNC-2110 instructions (to PFI-8 via User-2). Whenever I run the DAQmx sample program Count Digital Events.vi, it recognizes the PCI-6133 OK, but always returns an absurdly high and constant number of counts, like 3.2e9. The number doesn't change as I send test pulses into the input. It also remains the same even if I disconnect the input line entirely and rerun the sample program.
Rebooting yields the same behavior.
Using DAQ assistant to generate my own code, instead of the sample program, produced exactly the same result.
Thanks for any help you can give me. I don't even know where to start to debug this problem.
Thanks,
Andy

Thank you very much for your help.
How/what exactly are you measureing from;?
I am measuring (counting) TTL pulses coming from a TTL driver. They are about 1 us long and nominal TTL high and low values. The pulses look fine on a scope. The rate is very low, typically a few Hz up to perhaps 200 Hz. The behavior is the same regardless of whether I have the input signal connected to the BNC-2110, however. The pulses are ultimately generated by a neutron detector, with a bunch of signal processing in between.
Are you wiring the digital signal directly into PFI 8?
The input signal is connected by BNC cable to the "User 2" port on the BNC-2110. A jumper wire connects the "User2" PFI Terminal to the "PFI-8" PFI Terminal. Again, the behavior is exactly the same regardless of whether these wires are installed or not.
Have your tried using the other counter (CTR1) on the 6133?
The behavior is exactly the same on ctr1, which has no wires connected to it.
You may also try generating a pulse signal from the 6133 and reading it with this VI to determine if your source may be the issue (you could use PFI 2 as a Digital Output for this).
I tried running a "test panel" in MAX to count the 20 MHz internally generated signal. It gave the exact same results, on both ctr0 and ctr1. It did not throw any error message.
Finally, does it read the same value every time you run it (the reported 3.2e9)?
It reads the same value every time I run the sample VI or test panel (3217997774) on both channels, except that the number changes to a different constant number (very close) when I reboot the computer.
I have been wondering if the problem might be associated with the configuration of the ports on the PCI-6133. The manual repeatedly says that you can configure the ports to input or output, for example, but it is not clear to me how to do that. When I right-click the device in MAX, "Configure" is not one of the choices, despite what it says in the "Getting Started" manual.
Again, thanks for your help.
Take care,

ServletAuthentication.weak() makes isUserInRole() always return false

I have a problem with SSO and authentification. If I authenticate with the weak()
method(have tried alle of them) authentication works fine and it seem to be single
signed-on, but
if we call the isUserInRole() method it always return false.
If I try to "call" pages from the client the declerativ security-constraints also
works fine preventing the user from accessing the pages. It is only when we use
the forward() method that we also use isUserInRole() to check if the user is permitted
to be forwarded(). WLS 6.1 sp2 tells us that the user is never in Role, no matter
what, if we use the weak() method to authenticate.
If I switch to using a j_sec_check form to authenticate the isUserInRole() works
fine. I can't use j_sec_check as a permanent solution though, because I need to
do a lot of pre- and post- processing in the login/authenication process.
Have any of you figured out a solution to this problem? Shouldn't isUserInRole()
work the same way regardless of if you logged in using SA.weak() or a j_security_check
form?

Hi ,
If I switch to using a j_sec_check form to authenticate the isUserInRole()works
fine. I can't use j_sec_check as a permanent solution though, because Ineed to
do a lot of pre- and post- processing in the login/authenication process.You can use the j_security_check and still do the pre and post processing as
you want.
You have to following code,
package examples.servlets;
import java.io.PrintStream;
import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.ServletResponse;
import weblogic.servlet.security.AuthFilter;
public class AuthFilterImpl extends AuthFilter
public AuthFilterImpl()
System.out.println("New AuthFilterImpl has been created.");
public void doPreAuth(ServletRequest servletrequest, ServletResponse
servletresponse)
System.out.println("AuthFilterImpl.doPreAuth has been called.");
System.out.println("Password is " +
servletrequest.getParameter("j_password"));
public boolean doSuccessAuth(ServletRequest servletrequest,
ServletResponse servletresponse)
System.out.println("AuthFilterImpl.doSuccessAuth has been called.");
return true;
public void doFailAuth(ServletRequest servletrequest, ServletResponse
servletresponse)
System.out.println("AuthFilterImpl.doFailAuth has been called.");
In your weblogic.xml have this entry,
<weblogic-web-app>
<auth-filter>
examples.servlets.AuthFilterImpl
</auth-filter>
</weblogic-web-app>
I am not sure about problem with SA.weak().

GetUsageData is always returning Null

Let me first start out by stating that I know there are many questions on this issue, and I have read them all. However, none of the suggestions that I have read have seemed to help my situation. Therefore, I figure I would supply my code with the hopes
that someone can solve the issue that is mentioned in the title. Let me first supply a little bit of background.
My goal in this code is to determine what are the most visited sites in our SharePoint 2010 farm. To do this, I figured I would cycle through all of the webs in the farm, and then obtain the amount of page views within each site using the GetUsageData function.
Just to test if the GetUsageData was supplying the correct data, I coded the web part in such a way where if GetUsageData returned "Null", it would print it for every site, and "Not Null" if otherwise. In every case I have tested this web part, it has always
returned Null for evey site it has checked.
I am fairly new to programming web parts in C#, so a lot of this code is derived from what I have read when researching the subject. If anyone can assist me to see where I could fix my issue, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.

Hi, Shiladitya.
Sorry I haven't replied until now. I'll paste the current code I am using, but my solution is not yet complete. What it does as of right now is it creates a data table with all of the webs located in your farm, as well as the total amount of page views for
each web. What I noticed though is that when I compare these stats with the web analytics for the specific web, they don't match. I put the project on hold for this reason, and I might start it back up again soon. Feel free to use the code, and perhaps you
maybe can shed some light on my issue.

Rendered=false column is not returning value in simpleSearch Query Region.

Hi Guru's,
I have a simpleSearchPanel with two search columns Order Number (Rendered=true, i.e Visible to User in the form) and Order Id(Rendered=False, i.e Non visible to User in the form) which are getting values from LOV. The LOV selection Order Number and Order Id are getting values and Order Number column is rendered true(visible) query able to return the values, but Order Id is not getting values because Rendered=False/Not visible Field.
Unfortunately i can't make OrderId filed as "formValue" because of simpleSearchPanel (autoCustoomizationCritirea) query region.
I appreciate your help.
Regards
Pathi

its not the problem with simpleSearchPanel, it is the messageComponentLayout within simpleSearchPanel which is restricting the formValue.
just change the region style to defaultDoubleColumn and create the formValue into it.
This should solve your problem..

Return 2 values (string, number) multiple rows, from java stored function

I would like to return 2 values (String, number prefered but String, String will work) from a java stored function.
I was able to successfully return a varray of varchar2 values but I was wondering if it is possible to return 2 values by using a varray?
Is it even possible? I tried using combinations of types which included a varray of objects (with 2 attributes) or a type as table of objects but I couldn't figure out how in my java code to set these values. Also what would my java function return type be and what Oracle type would map to it?
Any help and examples or pointers would be great.
Thanks,
Dennis

Thanks to all. I finally figured it out through all the pieces on the web.
Here is what worked for me. First create 2 oracle types. One object type to represent the "columns" I will pass back:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE COST_OBJ AS OBJECT (COST_NAME NVARCHAR2(50), COST_VALUE number ) NOT FINAL
note: make sure the "strings" are defined as NVARCHAR2 or Java will puke if it is just VARCHAR2.
Then create a table type to hold your objects defined as following:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE COST_OBJ_TABLE is table OF COST_OBJ
Then create the oracle stored function that is a wrapper to the java function:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_Costs(Name VARCHAR2, evalDate VARCHAR2, fuelCodeID NUMBER) return COST_OBJ_TABLE
is language java name
'com.costs.storedProcedures.Cost.getCosts(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, int) return oracle.sql.ARRAY'
Once that is done, Oracle is ready. The Java function looks something like this:
public ARRAY getCosts(String name, String evalDate, int fuelCodeID) {
DBAccess da = getDBAccess();
// get a handle on the connection
Connection conn = da.getConnection();
// The stuff that will be returned should be as type object array
// make it to the size of the number of fuelcomponents passed in
Object[] returnStuff = new Object[3];
// create the type of struct that is defined on the database
StructDescriptor structDesc =
StructDescriptor.createDescriptor("CY_UMAP.COST_OBJ", conn);
for (int i = 0; i < returnStuff .size(); i++) {
Object[] costValues = new Object[]{
     "This is object " + i,
     new Integer ( i ) };
STRUCT cost_obj = new STRUCT(structDesc, conn, costValues);
returnStuff[i] = cost_obj;
ArrayDescriptor x_ad = ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor (
"CY_UMAP.COST_OBJ_TABLE", conn);
ARRAY x_array = new ARRAY(x_ad, conn, returnStuff);
return x_array;
I hope this helps others.

ORA-01422- exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows in D2K Report

Hi All,
Greetings.
I am using a report which is being called from the from in one of my application. The report is working fine from quiet a long time. I have an error with a particular record alone and it is working fine for all other records.
When I try to run the report, I am getting the error as Rep-1401- 'cf_vatformula' : Fatal pl/sql error occured.
ORA-01422- Exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows.
I opened the formula column and run the sql codes that are used in the formula column cf_vat and all of them are working fine. None of them are fetching more a single row. But, when I run the report, I am getting the same error as mentioned above.
Please help me resolve the issue ASAP. Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Bhaskar.

Hi InoL,
Thanks for your time.
I am sure that there is no other procedure used in cf_vatformula. It has select queries in and all of them are fetching the data not more than a single row.
I have tested each and every select query with every possible output.

Bhaskar.

APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT always returning empty BLOB

Dear community,
I have a huge problem when using the function APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT in a job or database procedure.
The following code runs perfectly when I integrate it in the APEX application directly e.g. using a button to execute it (of course I use an anonymous PL/SQL block in APEX itself). But when I run the same code as a procedure or job in the APEX database itself I always receive a mail with an empty PDF:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE APEX_DRUG_SAFETY.CALL_MAIL
is
l_id number;
l_document BLOB;
BEGIN
wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id;
l_document := APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT
+(+
p_application_id=>'105',
p_report_query_name=>'TestReport',
p_report_layout_type=>'pdf',
p_document_format=>'pdf'
+);+
l_id := APEX_MAIL.SEND
+(+
p_to        => '[email protected]',
p_from      => '[email protected]',
p_subj      => 'sending PDF via print API',
p_body      => 'Please review the attachment.',
p_body_html => 'Please review the attachment.'
+);+
APEX_MAIL.ADD_ATTACHMENT
+(+
p_mail_id    => l_id,
p_attachment => l_document,
p_filename   => 'mydocument.pdf',
p_mime_type => 'application/pdf'
+);+
wwv_flow_mail.push_queue(
P_SMTP_HOSTNAME => 'DESMTP.TEST.COM',
P_SMTP_PORTNO => '25');
end;
The problem is that the function APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT always returns an empty BLOB when executed outside of the APEX application. I found this issue in several other posts in this forum but I did not find a solution.
The mail transmission itself works perfectly. Also with an attachment if e.g. I use another BLOB already stored in the database for testing purposes. So it is not the mail transmission that causes the problem but the empty variable l_document that is still empty.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks for your help, Sir. As you see it as above, I fixed the order of parameters, but since I would like to display multiple records, my procedure did not work properly and I got this error message:
Error report:
ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows
ORA-06512: at "S4048958.QUESTION4", line 20

**Cause: The number specified in exact fetch is less than the rows returned.*

I guess I need to create a cursor in my procedure, but I dunno how. Could you give me some suggestion for this please?
Thanks again...

XML Validation : isschemavalid always returns 0

Hello XML folks,
I have registered the schema and tried to validate. It always returns 0 (i.e invalid).
Could you please let me know what is wrong with XSD or XML
Thanks,

problem was with the parameter you have passed as schema url.
here is the modified code.
problem was in this line.
l_xml_context.isschemavalid('"http://ibtco.com/common/exception/context"');
you have to pass the url as just a string without the double quotest (").
now it returns 1.

Execute oracle stored procedure from C# always returns null

Hi,
I'm trying to execute a stored procedure on oracle 9i. I'm using .Net OracleClient provider.
Apparently, I can execute the stored procedure, but it always returns null as a result (actually all the sp's I have there returns null)! I can execute any text statement against the database successfully, and also I can execute the stored procedure using Toad.
This is not the first time for me to call an oracle stored procedure, but this really is giving me a hard time! Can anyone help please?
Below are the SP, and the code used from .Net to call it, if that can help.
Oracle SP:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE APIECARE.CHECK_EXISTENCE(l_number IN NUMBER) AS
v_status VARCHAR2(5) := NULL;
BEGIN
BEGIN
SELECT CHECK_NO_EXISTENCE(to_char(l_number))
INTO v_status
FROM DUAL;
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
v_status := NULL;
END;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_status);
END CHECK_CONTRNO_EXISTENCE;
C# Code:
string connStr = "Data Source=datasource;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=user;Password=pass;Unicode=True";
OracleConnection conn = new OracleConnection(connStr);
OracleParameter param1 = new OracleParameter();
param1.ParameterName = "v_status";
param1.OracleType = OracleType.VarChar;
param1.Size = 5;
param1.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
OracleParameter param2 = new OracleParameter();
param2.ParameterName = "l_number";
param2.OracleType = OracleType.Number;
param2.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
param2.Value = 006550249;
OracleParameter[] oraParams = new OracleParameter[] { param1, param2 };
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand("CHECK_EXISTENCE", conn);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.Parameters.AddRange(oraParams);
conn.Open();
object result = cmd.ExecuteScalar();
conn.Close();

Hi,
Does that actually execute? You're passing two parameters to a procedure that only takews 1 and get no error?
Your stored procedure doesnt return anything and has no output parameters, what are you expecting to be returned exactly?
If you're trying to access V_STATUS you'll need to declare that as either an output parameter of the procedure, or return value of the function, and also access it via accessing Param.Value, not as the result of ExecuteScalar.
See if this helps.
Cheers,
Greg

How can I define that the value of a column should always be in UPPER case

Hi,
I want to make sure that the value in a column is always in UPPER case.
Can we give this condition while creating or altering a table.
A trigger can do it easily, but I was wondering if we could define a column to have values with upper case all the time, independent of what values are inserted. I mean if we give a lower case value in the insert statement, it should be converted automatically to upper case & stored.
I want something like
Alter table MY_TABLE Modify ( col1_upper varchar2(25) default UPPER(Col1_upper));
But the above statement does not work as it references the col of the table.
Thanks
Sunil

Well, you can put a check constraint on to prevent someone from putting lowercase data in:
alter table my_table add constraint my_table_check_upper check (col1_upper = upper(col1_upper));However, I know of no way to modify the data being inserted/updated in a table without a trigger.

Select query on table rcv_lots_interface is always returning null

Hi ,
I need a help on the below issue.
The issue is after creating PO in Oracle 11i I receive it in MSCA application.
When we receive it at that point data gets inserted in the table " rcv_transactions_interface " and we have written a trigger on it.
From the trigger on table " rcv_transactions_interface " we are calling a package and in the package we have select query on "rcv_lots_interface."
But the select query is always returning null even though we are passing the correct "interface_transaction_id " and also after the "Receiving Transaction Processor" is executed i can see data in the table " RCV_LOT_TRANSACTIONS " for the same transaction.
Below is the sample code i am using.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER inv.RCV_TRAN_TRIGGER

Based on reviewing them the workarounds range from dropping the index to setting "_disable_function_based_index" to TRUE.Facinating. It seems to me that if you use the undocumented intitialization parameter you might just as well drop the FBIs too.
Another hazard of FBIs is the Law of Unintended Consequences. 2 years ago we tried to use one to speed up a query in a PL/SQL package. Worked OK for that purpose, but an unrelated loader on the affected table ran and rand but never finished until the FBI was dropped.

Make a number in column A always return a different specific number in column B
