Missing terminating null in string argument

When the statement is executed "if ((strstr (refData, "end section") != test) || (strstr (refData, "end file") != test))", it displayed "Missing terminating null in string argument".The error is about refData,refData is a variable.
I don't know why this problem turned up,because it did not always appear except serval parameters.
Please tell you how to resolve this problem.
Thank you!

C assumes that a string is a character array with a terminating null character. This null character has ASCII value 0 and can be represented as just 0 or '\0'. This value is used to mark the end of meaningful data in the string. If this value is missing, many C string functions will keep processing data past the end of the meaningful data and often past the end of the character array itself until it happens to find a zero byte in memory, see here
So in order to resolve the problem make sure that your string ends with a null character.

SCCM Reporting: Software Updates / Apllication the "Installed date" is missing or null in reports

When the “V_GS_Add_Remove_Programs” or “V_GS_Quick_Fix_Engineering” queried for installed date (the views that contains information on updates/application
installed date), the “installDate0” Column returns “Null” or is
"blank" on most of the rows.
The machine in this example is “X”
2. As you can see from the machines X's add remove Programs installed Date is given clearly.
Appreciate your help on this as its for an audit report of windows updates and applications installed date, I know that some applications do not populate this value but my argument is if its visible from Programs and Features why isn't the data being collected.

How to run a .bat file with string arguments?

Hi,
I have a problem in running a .bat file with string arguments
- the file is XPathOverlap.bat with 2 stringarguments like: "/a" and "//a"
- the cmd: c:\Downloads>XPathOverlap "//a" "/a" works fine.
- here is my code:
public static void test(){
     try{
          String loc1 = "//a";
          String loc2 = "/a";
          String[] cmdarray = {"c:\Downloads\XPathOverlap", loc1, loc2};
          Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmdarray);
          p.waitFor();
          System.out.println("Exit Value: "+p.exitValue());
          //code to print command line replies
          InputStream cmdReply = p.getInputStream();
          InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(cmdReply);
          BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
          String line = null;
          while((line=br.readLine())!=null){
               System.out.println(line);
     }catch(Throwable t){
          t.printStackTrace();
How can i run this bat file with 2 string arguments?

Hi,
thanks thats good and helpfully
so this code works:
String loc1 = "\"/a\"";
String loc2 = "\"//a\"";
String path = System.getenv("MuSatSolver");
String[] cmdarray = {"cmd.exe","/C",path+"XPathOverlap.bat", loc1, loc2};
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmdarray);
p.waitFor();
System.out.println("Exit Value: "+p.exitValue());
InputStream cmdErr = p.getErrorStream();
InputStreamReader isrErr = new InputStreamReader(cmdErr);
BufferedReader brErr = new BufferedReader(isrErr);
String line2 = null;
while((line2=brErr.readLine())!=null){
     System.out.println("Error: "+line2);
but now i have another problem, this is the output:
Exit Value: 0
Error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: fr/inrialpes/wam/treelogic/_xml/XPathOverlap
Error: Exception in thread "main" The Exit value is 0, so the process terminates normally.
I have tested this bat file in cmd and there it works correctly.
Why do i get this error message?

Passing String arguments result in NullPointerExceptions.

Hi,
I'm passing a string argument in a chain of methods in the usual way.
e.g. main(String aStringArg) {};
This argument starts life as a value passed to main(). The main method calls a method in another class. The receiving method tests this argment using the string comparision method. The code snippet shows this:
method2(String aStr) {
     if (portId.getName().equals(portName)) {
This throws the NullPointerException.
If I insert a string in to the statement as follows...
method2(String aStr) {
     if (portId.getName().equals("COM1")) {
it works OK.
It seems that the argument is referenced as it flows down the chain of methods.
What's wrong with my approach and why does it fail please?
I'm sure that there's a better and more effective way to handle arguments passed to main() or any other method.
Please educate me.
Thanks,
Phil

Hi,
I'm passing a string argument in a chain of methods
in the usual way.
e.g. main(String aStringArg) {};Wrong - this is not the usual way. The only correct signature for main is:
public static void main(String [] args)Note: an array of Strings, not a single String.
This argument starts life as a value passed to
main(). The main method calls a method in another
class. The receiving method tests this argment using
the string comparision method. The code snippet shows
this:
method2(String aStr) {
     if (portId.getName().equals(portName)) {
This throws the NullPointerException.

Thanks,
Philit's hard to tell based on the code you've posted. the snippets are confusing and poorly named. for example, you posted this:
     method2(String aStr) {
     if (portId.getName().equals(portName)) {
     }the signature isn't legal Java. (Should at least return void.) method2 doesn't use aStr at all. I have no idea where portId is set. What does this tell me? Nothing. This method will only throw an NPE if portId is null. The string you pass in will have no effect at all. It'll just return false.
This code works and seems to mimic what I can gather from your post. How is mine different?
public class Port
    private String portName;
    public Port() { this(""); }
    public Port(String name) { this.portName = name; }
    public String getPortName() { return this.portName; }
    public String toString() { return this.portName; }
    public boolean hasName(String name) { return this.portName.equals(name); }
    public static void main(String [] args)
        String name = ((args.length > 0) ? args[0] : "");
        Port port = new Port(name);
        for (int i = 0; i < args.length; ++i)
            System.out.println(args[i] + (port.hasName(args) ? " has this name" : " does not have this name"));

Problem is also that instead of T (header) and S (Position) there might be L,D (also for Position). Therefore i have no clue how to handle these values as keyfieldValues.
some ideas?! br Jens

Plsql - store function - passing a NULL or empty string argument

Please see the question I posed below. Does anyone have experience with passing a NULL or empty string to a store function? THANKS.
Hi All,
I have a function that takes in two string arrays, status_array, and gender_array. You can see the partial code below. Somehow if the value for the string array is null, the code doesn't execute properly. It should return all employees, but instead it returns nothing. Any thoughts? THANKS.
for iii in 1 .. status_array.count loop
v_a_list := v_a_list || '''' || status_array(iii) || ''',';
end loop;
v_a_list := substr(v_a_list, 1, length(trim(v_a_list)) - 1);
for iii in 1 .. gender_array.count loop
v_b_list := v_b_list || '''' || gender_array(iii) || ''',';
end loop;
v_b_list := substr(v_b_list, 1, length(trim(v_b_list)) - 1);
IF v_a_list IS NOT NULL and v_b_list IS NOT NULL THEN
v_sql_stmt := 'select distinct full_name from t_employee where status in (' || v_a_list || ') and gender in (' || v_b_list || ')';
ELSIF v_a_list IS NOT NULL and v_b_list IS NULL THEN
v_sql_stmt := 'select distinct full_name from t_employee where status in (' || v_a_list || ') ';
ELSIF v_a_list IS NULL and v_b_list is not null THEN
v_sql_stmt := 'select distinct full_name from t_employee where gender in (' || v_b_list || ')';
ELSE
v_sql_stmt := 'select distinct full_name from t_employee';
END IF;
OPEN v_fullname_list FOR v_sql_stmt;
RETURN v_fullname_list;

Not sure what version of Oracle you are using, so here's an approach that will work with many releases.
Create a custom SQL type, so we can use an array in SQL statements (we'll do that at the end).
create or replace type string_list is table of varchar2(100);
/declare your A and B lists as the type we've just created
v_a_list    string_list default string_list();
v_b_list    string_list default string_list();populate the nested tables with non-null values
for iii in 1 .. status_array.count
loop
   if status_array(iii) is not null
   then
      v_a_list.extend;
      v_a_list(v_a_list.count) := status_array(iii);
   end if;
end loop;Here you'd want to do the same for B list.
Then finally, return the result. Using ONE single SQL statement will help a lot if this routine is called frequently, the way you had it before would require excessive parsing, which is quite expensive in an OLTP environment. Not to mention the possibility of SQL injection. Please, please, please do some reading about BIND variables and SQL injection, they are very key concepts to understand and make use of, here's an article on the topic.
[http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:1922946900346978163]
So here we ask for the distinct list of full names where either the status and the gender qualify based on the input data, OR the array passed in had no data to restrict the query on (the array.count = 0 does this).
OPEN v_fullname_list FOR
   select
      distinct
         full_name
   from t_employee
   where
      status in (select /*+ CARDINALITY ( A 5 ) */ column_value from table(v_a_list) A )
      or v_a_list.count = 0
   and
      gender in (select /*+ CARDINALITY ( B 5 ) */ column_value from table(v_b_list) B )
      or v_b_list.count = 0
   );Hope that helps.
Forgot to mention the CARDINALITY hint i added in. Oracle will have no idea how many rows these arrays (which we will treat as tables) will have, so this hint tells Oracle that you expect X (5 in this case) rows. Adjust it as you need, or remove it. If you are passing in thousands of possible values, where i've assumed you will pass in only a few, you may want to reconsider using the array approach and go for a global temporary table.

How to use NULL as an argument in a dbms_scheduler.create_job script?

Hello All,
We are trying to pass a null argument as a parameter to a PL/SQL program after CURRENT_TIMESTAMP. However, every attempt we try is producing errors. Why we are passing the null is another story. Does anyone know of the correct syntax, if there is any, to accomplish passing the null argument as a parameter to a PL/SQL program?
We'd like to continue running with this same script setup and have the passing of the null working.
This is what we've tried and directly below are the results. Any help so far would be appreciated!

Hi,
The third syntax you used is correct i.e.
DW_CRF.PKG_LPS_CRF_LOAD_TRANS.sp_load_target(''LOAD_CRF'', ''LOAD_LOAN_TRAN'', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, NULL);
Alternatively you can use
DW_CRF.PKG_LPS_CRF_LOAD_TRANS.sp_load_target(''LOAD_CRF'', ''LOAD_LOAN_TRAN'', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, '''');
all the other calls give syntax errors that are expected. The third call is giving an application error which you will need to look into (maybe starting at "DW_CRF.PKG_LPS_CRF_LOAD_TRANS", line 958). One thing that may help clarify things is if you were to switch to naming your parameters e.g. target_name=>''LOAD_CRF'' since that helps clarify exactly what parameter is called with which value.
Hope this helps,
Ravi.

Null/Empty Strings use in ESB Database Adapter

Hi
I'm trying to use a database adapter to execute an update on a table with a composite primary key; one of the primary key columns sometimes contains an empty string, however whenever I try to call the adapter, it always converts this to a null value. Is there an easy way to force the adapter to use an empty string instead of a null?
Thanks.

the idea here is to execute the dbms statement, or the setpolicycontext statement in a db session, and being able to execute the next sql statement in the same db session.
This is possible with consecutive database adapters sharing the same db session.
and two db adapters sharing the same db session is possible, if you make sure that the bpel is participating in the db transaction which can be made possible via xa db connections.
Hope this helps,
Write back in case you need more info.

Null query string in servlet filter with OC4J 10.1.3.1.0

I have a strange problem with OC4J 10.1.3.1.0. In the servlet filter, while requesting the querystring with HttpServletRequest.getQueryString the result is null, even if it is verified with a sniffer that that query string is there. This happens only with certain requests. The query string is long but nothing very special otherwise.
Any ideas what might be wrong?
Thanks,

I got the same problem. I tried in others application servers alternatives and it works. By now i have to change links like this "http://localhost:8888/SIVIUQ/LoadIndex.portal?test=1" for forms using javaScript to send the parameters corresponding to the button pressed. To use buttons instead links is not the better solution due to usability. Any suggestion to solve this problem?
Thanks

Missing some letters in string

Well guys, I have one VI that I write some text at a string and I can read it from another VI.
Always works nice for me, but since some days ago... I start to have some problems
When I wrote a text like: "Hey, my name is Eduardo"
when I tryed to read in the other VI, it's missing some letters at the beggining
it's appearing like: "ame is Eduardo"
Some one know what is happening? Because I already tryed change the strings, replace for a new one.. but still the same!
Thanks

Well, This VI is in LV 7.1
I use create a binary header to nominate the file...
It always work good, but since some days ago start to give me problems with the string that show the name of the file.
Yes, I tryed to duplicate the code, but I receive the same error, I'm starting to think about reinstall LV 7.1
maybe something happened I don't know... but if it always work and now start to have problems and I didn't change anything.
Well I'm uploading the images from write and read, and bouth Sub-vi's that make this ID:
The problem is happen where I make a red circle.

Create an object with the name passed in as a string argument to a method

Hi,
I am sorry if it's too trivial for this forum , but I am stuck with the following requirements.
I have a method
void abc(String object_name, String key, String value)
method abc should first check if there exists in memory a hashmap object with the name passed in as argument object_name.
If yes ..just put the key and value there.
if not , then create the hashmap object called <object_name> and insert the key/value there.
Can anybody help me in the first step i.e, how to check if an object exists with the name passed in and if not then create it.
Will getInstance method be of any help?
Thanks in advance for your response.

Dear Cotton.m,
Thanks for your suggesstion. I will remember that.
But somehow I have a strong belief that you still need to consult dictionary for exact meaning of the words like "upset" , "frustration" etc. Not knowing something in a language , that too as a beginner, does not yield frustration, but increases curiosity. And people like petes1234 are there to diminish that appetite.
To clarify above, let me compare jverd's reply to my doubt with petes1234's.
jverd said it cannot be done and suggested a work around (It was perfect and worked for me) While petes1234 , having no work in hand probably, started analysis of newbies mistakes.
jverd solved my problem by saying that it cannot be done. petes1234 acted as a worthless critic in my opinion and now joined cotton.m.
Finally, this is a java forum and I do not want to discuss human characteristics here for sure.
My apologies if I had a wrong concept or if I chose a wrong forum to ask, where people like petes1234 or Cotton.m show their geekdom by pointing out "shortfalls" rather than clearing that by perfect examples and words.
Again take it easy and Cotton.m , please do not use this forum to figure out others' frustration but be a little more focussed on solving others "Java related" problems :)

Spawned Concurrent Request passing null to the argument

Hi,
I created a concurrent request with a package.procedure1 as the executable. This calls another concurrent program which has the executable as package.procedure2. This calls by passing one argument, the 2nd program was called but inside the procedure2, the arugument value is null. Before passing the arugument value is 1 and also in the 2nd program concurrent request parameters also its showing the value as 1. But inside the 2nd program procedure, tha value is becoming null. Can you please help me in this.
Thanks,

In the form FNDRSRUN which is the Standard Request Submission form there are parameters CHAR1-CHAR5, NUMBER1-NUMBER5, and DATE1-DATE5. I was wondering if i populate the parameter NUMBER1 with my value how can I access this parameter when the form is brought up. This is more of an applications setup issue I will be creating a function that calls the FNDRSRUN form this function will force this form to use a single request not a request group. In the request setups there is a parameter. When I set up the request parameter I have to select a value set and then for Default Type I can select Constant, Profile, SQL Statement, or Segment and then I have to give a default value. Can I default this parameter to use NUMBER1 or another parameter in the FNDRSRUN form.
