Export error: value of length column (38) greater than VARDATA column (36)

Hello @,
I am performing an export on HP-UX/Oracle of a R/3 Enterprise 1.10 system.
I already use got the latest R3load binary. For pool table KAPOL I get
this strange error and I couldn't find any further information about it:

Does this mean that one row in KAPOL has to be changed from within SAP?
Or could it be an error/bug within R3load?

two entries from -32730 to -32732. Don't ask me why...

How to prevent numericstepper from setting the value to the defined Maximum when a number greater than maximum is entered in by keyboard and user hits the "Enter" key.

I need to set the Maximum so that the use can use the mouse to change the value of numericstepper (and not go over a certain number), but at the same time I have to allow the user to enter their value by typing in the text field. When the user enters a number greater than the Maximum, I disable the "Ok" button of the dialog and show a red warning(error message). The issue is that the user can hit "Enter" and numeric stepper would set the value to the Maximum and the dialog box would close and the rest of code would run. I want the numericstepper not to change the value and keep showing the warning even if the user hits the "Enter".
Note: Setting maxChar does not help since my maximum is 1000, and user might enter 5555
I would appreciate the help.

Thanks for trying to help, But
The issue is that if I set the maximum value of stepper 1 greater than the max value that I want, then the user can select an invalid value(of myMax + 1) when he clicks on the UP arrow of the numeric stepper(which is not acceptable for what I am working on).
I need to preserve the users invalid number, while not letting the user to select an invalid number by clicking UP key.
I noticed that when the user enters a number greater than the Maximum, and then click on the down arrow, it would set the value to 1 less than the maximum. This is not acceptable either.

Hi Matt
Thanks for your help. Here's some extracts from a NUnit test case that I made to show ArrayBinding bombing on VARCHAR2(4000).
private void SetupAdapterAndCommandForArrays()
OracleParameter p9 = new OracleParameter();
p9.OracleDbType = OracleDbType.Varchar2;
p9.ParameterName = ":p_instr_array";
p9.CollectionType = OracleCollectionType.PLSQLAssociativeArray;
p9.ArrayBindSize = new int[]{4000, 4000};
p9.Size = 2;
p9.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
p9.ArrayBindStatus = new OracleParameterStatus[]{OracleParameterStatus.Success,OracleParameterStatus.Success};
OracleCommand comm = new OracleCommand();
comm.Connection = new OracleConnection("Data Source=aboded12_local;user id=pcm_app;password=pcm_app");
comm.CommandText = "PCM_OWNER.PKG_DAC_JASON.InsertStringArray";
comm.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
comm.Parameters.Add(p9);
da = new OracleDataAdapter();
da.InsertCommand = comm;
da.InsertCommand.Connection.Open();
[Test]
public void TestStringArrayOf4000()
SetupAdapterAndCommandForArrays();
da.InsertCommand.Parameters[0].Value = new string[]{new string(Convert.ToChar("3"),4000), new string(Convert.ToChar("4"), 4000)};
da.InsertCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
So when I run TestStringArrayOf4000() i get the : Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException : ORA-02005: implicit (-1) length not valid for this bind or define datatype error.
If i run another test i have that sets up an array with less than 4000 this works fine.
any help you can offer is greatly appreciated!

ORA-01741: illegal zero-length identifier

Hi Friends,
I am facing a weird situation while creating a report with region having type as SQL Query(PL/SQL function body returning SQL Query).
I have a package function which takes 4 parameters and returns a SQL query in a varchar2 variable.
Now when I have the following code in my region source and on applying changes is showing ORA-01741: illegal zero-length identifier
DECLARE
l_query VARCHAR2 (5000);
BEGIN
SELECT apx_dashboard_pkg.f_int_monthly_grid (:p5_1, :p5_2, :p5_3, :p5_4)
INTO l_query
FROM DUAL;
RETURN l_query;
END;
If I change my code as below by passing values and run, then it does the job perfect.
DECLARE
l_query VARCHAR2 (5000);
BEGIN
SELECT apx_dashboard_pkg.f_int_monthly_grid(200712,
'IC',
3,
'AVARO'
INTO l_query
FROM DUAL;
RETURN l_query;
END;
I have no clue where I am doing wrong.
Please help me.
Thanks,
Raj.

Thanks guys for your responses.
Varad,
I have tried with 'Generic Column Names' and it worked wonderfully.
Scott,
I would definitely consider your point because it might be the reason for erroring out in some of my pages in the application.
Thanks a lot.

Formatting external drive for read/write PC/Mac & files greater than 4GB

I'm on Snow Leopard and deliver an external drive off-site to a video editor who needs to read/write to the drive and return the edited files and then I need to read/write all over again. All video files are greater than 4GB. How would I go about this? Third party applications like MacDrive create too much overhead when processing video files. FAT32 limits file sizes to 4GB.

Hi WillDuffy;
Your requirement of files greater than 4GB eliminates FAT.
In your case since you don't have access to the PC, I am afraid you are forced to use the NTFS. This will require you to use the reverse engineered effort called NTFS-3G to be able to write to the disk from your Mac. Sorry.

I have a Seagate Slim Portable 500 GB USB 3.0 external hard drive that worked great with my Macbook Pro 13" Retina but gets ejected and won't show files on any iMac.

I have a Seagate Slim Portable 500 GB USB 3.0 external hard drive that worked great with my Macbook Pro 13" Retina but gets ejected and won't show files on any iMac. My Macbook Pro and the two different iMacs I tried it on were all using Mountain Lion, so the only difference was the iMac versus Macbook Pro.

I just tried this, no luck...
I connected a different USB cable, still the same problem. Tried both cables with the problematic hard drive on two different computers, still the same problem.
At this point I assume I'll probably need professional help in saving the files, thanks for the assistance.

Transferring data to a flat file with a length greater than 255 bytes??

Is there a way to do this? At the end of the month, my dataset will reach a length of anywhere between 271 and 335. Even though I have the transfer field setup with a length of 512, I am only getting 255 characters worth of data when I pull the flat file in from the server.
Has anyone discovered a way to handle this? I cannot break the record up into blocks of 255, the Transfer has to be able to handle something greater than a length of 255.
Many Thanks!

Create tablespace whose name length is greater than 50 ?

Can i create tablespace in oracle 10g whose name length is greater than 50 characters ?

Name tablespaces descriptively using a maximum of eight characters. Although Oracle Database tablespace names can be 30 characters long, portable UNIX filenames are restricted to 14 characters. The recommended standard for a datafile basename is tn.dbf, where t is a descriptive tablespace name and n is a two-digit string. Because the extension and the two-digit string take six characters, only eight characters remain for the tablespace name.

How can a function returning character length greater than 4000 be selected in SQL

Hi,
I want to know if there is a way to write a select query on a function call which returns a varchar of more than 4000 characters.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION FUNC1
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
str VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
str := <some string greater than 4000 char>;
RETURN str;
END;
SELECT FUNC1 from dual; ---- This gives an PL/SQL numeric or value error. Character string buffer too small.
Is there any way to resolve this?
Thanks

32767 is not default. The default is still 4000 for VARCHAR2. You need to set the initialization parameter MAX_STRING_SIZE= EXTENDED for 32767.
Text from Oracle documentation
Extended Data Types
Beginning with Oracle Database 12c, you can specify a maximum size of 32767 bytes for the VARCHAR2, NVARCHAR2, and RAW data types. You can control whether your database supports this new maximum size by setting the initialization parameter MAX_STRING_SIZE as follows:
If MAX_STRING_SIZE = STANDARD, then the size limits for releases prior to Oracle Database 12c apply: 4000 bytes for the VARCHAR2 and NVARCHAR2 data types, and 2000 bytes for the RAW data type. This is the default.
If MAX_STRING_SIZE = EXTENDED, then the size limit is 32767 bytes for the VARCHAR2, NVARCHAR2, and RAW data types.

How to use (greater than) in web services call

Hello, I am trying to query a set of assets where the external unique ID is greater than 400,000. My existing code looks like
qryIn.ListOfAsset(0).ExternalSystemId = ">'400000'"
However, using this will return any asset record starting with a 5 or above as far as I can tell, I assume b/c it is comparing string data due to the single quotes infering data of type text (string). Is it possible to use comparison operators with numeric data correctly?
I posed this question to support and received the below answer:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <soap:Body> <AssetWS_AssetQueryPage_Input xmlns="urn:crmondemand/ws/asset/"> <ListOfAsset xmlns="urn:/crmondemand/xml/asset"> <Asset> <AssetId /> <PurchaseDate/> <OwnerAccountId /> <ExternalSystemId>> '400000'</ExternalSystemId> </Asset> </ListOfAsset> </AssetWS_AssetQueryPage_Input> </soap:Body> </soap:Envelope>
Basically, instructing me to use &gt. I'm doing coding in .NET visual studio and not using the XML as above. However, I did try the following:
qryIn.ListOfAsset(0).ExternalSystemId = ">'400000'" which returned an error in the compiler.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I would assume "external system id" is an integer, but, I will test on a custom field that I now is of type integer.
Could you take your same code and use a non-zero value for the operand? For example, could you try
objAccQryParam.ListOfAccount[0].CustomInteger0 = ">= '10'"; and let me know if that returns values that are greater than or equal to 10. Using a two digit number is important. Assuming you have data greater than 10.
Thanks!
