ORA-01858 in Oracle forms

Hi,
I am getting ORA-01858 in Oracle form ,when following statement is firing in oracle form
Datatype of itemname is DATE
:blockname.itemname :=sysdate
This particular statement is working in Oracle forms with Patch 17 and not with Oracle forms with Patch 13.
But its not listed in the bugs fixed in Patch17.
So help me out...

Oracle error - ociexecute(): OCIStmtExecute: ORA-01858

Using PHP 4.3.11 on Linux and ADODB data abstraction library.
Oracle client version is 10.1.
Can sucessfully connect to remote database (version 9.2.0.6 NLS_LANG AL32UTF8).
When doing a simple select from a view:
select RTS_LOAD from VW_R_PROJECTED_LOAD_OUTPUT
I get the error message:
ociexecute(): OCIStmtExecute: ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected in /opt/devftp/var/www/php/adodb/461/drivers/adodb-oci8.inc.php on line 942
1858: ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
If in my PHP script I directly query the underlying table that this Oracle view is based on, I have no problem.
Using SQLPlus on the web server I don't have any problems at all selecting from the view, it is definitely a valid view.
Any clues? If so please email as well as posting response here.

Hi !
I think Your view has to_date function in its definition, and this to_date is called without second parameter: date format. Probably NLS_DATE_FORMAT is set to different values in SQL*Plus and PHP environment. You can check it out by running
select * from v$nls_parameters;
in SQL*Plus and in PHP.
If there are two different values You should modify view to use to_date in form: to_date(some_date_string, poroper_date_format)

Error while pulling data from an Oracle database. ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected

I'm trying to pull data from an Oracle database using SSIS. When I try to select a few fields from the source table, it returns the following error message:
    [OLE DB Source [47]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E14.
    An OLE DB record is available. Source: "OraOLEDB" Hresult: 0x80040E14 Description: "ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected".
    An OLE DB record is available. Source: "OraOLEDB" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected".
The source columns are a combination of numeric and texts, and I've also tried selecting one of them, which didn't work. I'm using the Oracle client 11.2.0.1, and it works fine with any other data sources I have connected to so far. How can I resolve this
error?

Hi H.James,
According to your description, the issue is a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected while pulling data from an Oracle database in SSIS.
Based on the error message, the issue should be you are comparing a number column to a non-number column in a query. Such as the query below (ConfID is a number, Sdate is a date):
where C.ConfID in (select C.Sdate
                   from Conference_C C
                   where C.Sdate < '1-July-12')
Besides, a default behavior for the Oracle OleDb Provider that change the NLS Date Format of the session to 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS can also cause the issue. For more details about this issue, please refer to the following blog:

ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error in Oracle Forms...

Hi, I installed Oracle developer suite to use for Oracle forms but am getting "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error" when trying to run a form. The database is running locally on my PC.
I've run the command line to see if hostname matches up with the "HOST= " in the ".../network/admin/listener.ora " file match, they do. What can I try next? I did have Oracle 10gXE installed, which I have now removed. I'm including my tnsnames and listener file content:

Thanks in advance for any help!

Of course you found another one. Each .and every Oracle database client home (such as developer, app server) has one.
Don't just change the port - the tnsnames.ora in the dev home does not point to a database service. It only points to an extproc [external procedure called by a database]. You need to put a database service entry into that file similar to the one in the database home. (Easiest solution - copy the tnsnames.ora from db home ... after you've made a backup)
And please don't tell me you are using Developer 6i - a simple Google search would verify that the networking is incompatible.

ORA-06502 JNI.CALL_STRING_METHOD Oracle Forms & Web Services

Hello:
A customer of us has been integrating Oracle Forms 10g and Web Services.
There is a java class named WsGenQueryStub. That java class has been generated using Oracle JDeveloper.
It implements the consume of a Web Service That class has a method named GetDat which receives 2 input parameters which are of VARCHAR2 type, containing XML text.
This method returns an XML text string which may have more than 4000 characters .
That class is incluedd at forms application by using the "Import Java Class" feature.
Forms builds a package named WsGenQueryStub which includes the following funtion
-- Method: GetData (Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;
FUNCTION GetData(
obj ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a0 VARCHAR2,
a1 VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
BEGIN
args := JNI.CREATE_ARG_LIST(2);
JNI.ADD_STRING_ARG(args, a0);
JNI.ADD_STRING_ARG(args, a1);
RETURN JNI.CALL_STRING_METHOD(FALSE, obj, 'Interfases/WsGenQueryStub', 'GetData', '(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;', args);
END;
Forms Version is 9.0.4.0.19 , and PL/SQL version ( of forms ) is 9.0.1.5.1 , both support variables of type VARCHAR2 up to 32767 characters long
However when the form is run the line
RETURN JNI.CALL_STRING_METHOD(FALSE, obj, 'Interfases/WsGenQueryStub', 'GetData', '(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;', args);
gets the ORA-06502 error when the returned text is longer than 4000 characters
I thank your answers.
Fernando.

Ferdo,
could you split up the result string in chunks that don't exceed the max. length? A method exposed on the Java class to could do this and be called from Forms as long as there is data coming.

Oracle Forms New Features - Your input. Supporting data types

I am interested to know IF we were to support any new database types in Oracle Forms 11g, which types would you like supported and why. I'd also like to know if you are currently working around the absence of a database type.
Please note, this is not any kind of commitment to support new data types in Oracle Forms applications but we are interested to know if there is demand and if so, for what types.
Thanks
Grant Ronald
Oracle Forms Product Management
p.s lets keep the thread focused on the topic so please don't post technical questions or comments about different new features - if you want to, start a new thread - thanks

Hi Grant,
support for the "new" - well they exists since 9iR1 ... 2001 - data types TIMESTAMP, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE, INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND would be very helpful.
Currently it's not possible to use the Data Block Wizard to create a data block for table/view that contains one of these columns.
(In Forms Builder 10.1.2.3 it fails with a strange error message ... iewbdbc_oracle_to_id ... C:\forms\101220\src\ie\iewbdb.c:724 ...)
So, one has to create the data block and the items manually. The items have to be CHARS.
Then forms is able to fetch and display these columns. The user can edit them as normal.
A WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger can be used to make sure that the implicit conversion from CHAR to the "new" datatype works.
For example, an INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH column (b):
declare
l_invalid_interval exception;
pragma exception_init(l_invalid_interval, -1867);
l_invalid_month exception;
pragma exception_init(l_invalid_month, -1843);
l_dummy interval year(9) to month;
begin
l_dummy := to_yminterval(:block2.b);
exception
when l_invalid_interval
then
    message('invalid interval');
    raise form_trigger_failure;
when l_invalid_month
then
    message('invalid month');
    raise form_trigger_failure;
when others
then
    message(error_text);
    raise form_trigger_failure;
end;This nasty trick works for most of the "new" datatypes except with TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE.
In Forms 10.1.2.3 the following WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger can (incorrectly!) fail:
declare
l_dummy timestamp with time zone;
begin
l_dummy := to_timestamp_tz(:block2.a);
end;It fails with "ORA-01804: failure to initialize timezone information", if the time zone is not like "-11:00", but like "EUROPE/PARIS". Don't know why...
If we recode our trigger to make a round-trip to the database, it works:
declare
l_dummy timestamp with time zone;
begin
select to_timestamp_tz(:block2.a)
into   l_dummy
from dual;
end;We could avoid these tricks, if Forms (and Reports) would support these type natively.
Thanks, Michael
PS: The TIMESTAMP and INTERVAL data types should of course be supported as items, parameters, globals and record groups columns.

ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected

hi ,
This was the code which shows the sales rep invoice amount and collected amount but while running report thru concurrent program its showing the following error:
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
WHERE TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE ( PS.GL_DATE , 'DD/MON/YY' ) , 'MON-YYYY' ) BETWEEN TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE ( : ==> P_todate , 'YYYY/MM/DD' ) , 'MON-YYYY' ) AND TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE ( : P_todate , 'YYYY/MM/DD' ) , 'MON-YYYY' ) AND ps.customer_id = cust.custome
The Actual Code was this

--ps.CLASS,
SUM(ABS(ps.acctd_amount_due_remaining)) acctd_amt,
SUM(ABS(ps.amount_due_remaining)) amt_due_remaining_inv,

AND ps.customer_id = cust.customer_id
AND ps.customer_trx_id = ct.customer_trx_id
AND ps.cust_trx_type_id = ctt.cust_trx_type_id
AND NVL(ct.primary_salesrep_id, -3) = SALES.salesrep_id
AND ps.customer_site_use_id+0 = site.site_use_id(+)
AND site.address_id = addr.address_id(+)
AND TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(PS.GL_DATE_CLOSED,'DD/MON/YY'),'MON-YYYY')
BETWEEN TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(:P_todate,'YYYY/MM/DD'),'MON-YYYY') AND TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(:P_todate,'YYYY/MM/DD'),'MON-YYYY')

-- and ps.payment_schedule_id+0 < 9999
-- AND SALES.salesrep_id ='1001'
GROUP BY SALES.name,
--ps.CLASS,
SALES.salesrep_id

So to_date function accepts a string as input and returns a date. When a date is input instead, it is implicity converted to the required type of the function paremeter, which is a string, so that to_date can convert it back to a date again.
If you are lucky with the implicit conversion, you get the same date back, if you are not you might get a different date or an error.
From your query it appears that this conversion from a date, to a string, to a date, and then back to a string using to_char this time, is being done to remove the time or day part of the date. The actual range comparison is being done on strings rather than dates, which is dangerous as strings sort differently than dates.
In this example if I sort by date, Jan 01 comes between Dec 00 and Feb 01 as you would expect.
SQL> select * from t order by d;
D
12-01-2000
01-01-2001
02-01-2001When converted to strings, Feb 01 comes between Dec 00 and Jan 01, which is probably not the desired result
SQL> select * from t order by to_char(d,'DD-MON-YY');
D
12-01-2000
02-01-2001
01-01-2001If you want to remove time and day parts of dates you should use the trunc function
trunc(d) removes the time, trunc(d,'mm') will remove the days to start of month.

Problem with inserting new records in Oracle Forms

Hi Friends,
I am a new user to Oracle Forms and I need a help from you people. The problem is as follows:
I have a data block in which I can display a number of records. In this data block the user will be able to edit the fields if no child records are found in another table. I have used when-new-record-instance to attain this scenario. All are text items. One item licensee_id which is made invisible by setting the property in property palette and required=no ( as this is the primary key of the table). Also the audit columns are made invisible.
The code for it is as follows:
DECLARE
     v_alert_button NUMBER;
     v_cnt                          NUMBER;
BEGIN
     SELECT COUNT (*)
INTO v_cnt
FROM id_rev_contracts
WHERE licensee_id = :ID_REV_LICENSEES.licensee_id;
IF v_cnt > 0 THEN
set_item_property('ID_REV_LICENSEES.LICENSEE_NAME', UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_FALSE);
ELSE
     set_item_property('ID_REV_LICENSEES.LICENSEE_NAME', UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
     -- set_item_property('ID_REV_LICENSEES.LICENSEE_NAME', INSERT_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
END IF;
END;
Now in this data block I should also be able to insert new records and for the same I have used PRE-INSERT trigger and the code for it is as follows:
DECLARE
     v_alert_button NUMBER;
CURSOR v_licensee_id IS SELECT id_rev_licensees_s.NEXTVAL FROM dual;
BEGIN
OPEN v_licensee_id;
FETCH v_licensee_id INTO :id_rev_licensees.licensee_id;
CLOSE v_licensee_id;
IF :id_rev_licensees.licensee_id IS NULL THEN
Message('Error Generating Next v_licensee_id');
RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
END IF;
:ID_REV_LICENSEES.created_by := :GLOBAL.g_login_name;
:ID_REV_LICENSEES.last_updated_by := :GLOBAL.g_login_name;
:ID_REV_LICENSEES.create_date := SYSDATE;
:ID_REV_LICENSEES.last_update_date := SYSDATE;
EXCEPTION
WHEN form_trigger_failure
THEN
RAISE form_trigger_failure;
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
v_alert_button :=
msgbox ('ERROR in Pre-Insert - ' || SQLERRM, 'STOP', 'Contact IST');
RAISE form_trigger_failure;
END;
Every thing is compiling fine but at the run time when I am trying to insert a new record I am receiving the following error:
FRM-40508:ORACLE error:unable to insert record
I also think the pre-insert record is not firing at the time of inserting a new record and saving it. So I request you to please delve into this problem and suggest me how to overcome this problem. Code snippets would do more help for me. If you need any other things from me please let me know. I will see if I could be of any help in that concern because I may not be able to send the entire form as it is.
Thanks and regards,
Vamsi K Gummadi.

first of all
pre-insert fires after the implicit/explicit commit/commit_form is issued and before the real insert is submitted to the db.
i would suggest to remove the error handling part for the moment
because i believe you might be getting "ora-xxxx cannot insert null"
and also make visible the primary column to check if the pre-insert is executed.
it would be better to make visible for a while the not null columns of the table/block
i suppose that the block is insert allowed and you are using table as the source of the block and not any procedures or something...

From an Oracle form, I want to read a text file.

From an Oracle form, I want to read a text file. In the form on a button press I have:
declare
in_file Text_IO.File_Type;
linebuf VARCHAR2(1800);
filename VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
filename:=GET_FILE_NAME('U:\ora_devl\pps\work\a.txt', File_Filter=>'Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|');
in_file := Text_IO.Fopen(filename, 'r');
LOOP
Text_IO.Get_Line(in_file, linebuf);
-- :text_item5:=:text_item5||linebuf||chr(10);
Text_IO.New_Line;
END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
WHEN no_data_found THEN
Text_IO.Put_Line('Closing the file...');
Text_IO.Fclose(in_file);
END;
It gets an ORA-302000. I suspect the problem starts with the GET_FILE_NAME because when I comment out everything but that, It processes endlessly never ending.

Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
What can you tell me? Thanks

GET_FILE_NAME will try to open an "Open File" dialog on the server, which obviously can't happen. If you want to use that type of behavior you need to use WebUtil and the function CLIENT_GET_FILE_NAME. Example:
filename := CLIENT_GET_FILE_NAME('C:\', File_Filter=> 'Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|All Files (*.*)|*.*|', dialog_type=> OPEN_FILE);Refer to the Builder Online help for more details. You can also refer to the demo which is available here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/downloads/index.html
More information here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/webutil-090641.html
Also, it appears that you are attempting to use a mapped drive ("U"). Although this can be made to work, it is not recommended and in some cases will not be supported. If you need access to remote files, you should use some other mechanism to bring the file to the local machine before manipulating it.

Bug in Oracle Outlook Connector 10,1,1,0,2 (1431) and Oracle Forms 6i Rel 2

Hello,
I installed Oracle Outlook Connector. 10,1,1,0,2 (1431)
We are using Oracle Collaboration Suite on a 10g database.
On the Desktop.
I am using.
a) MS/OFFICE Outlook 2003.
b) Oracle Forms and Reports 6i Release 2.
c) Oracle instance client 10.1
d) Windows XP HOME SP2.
What happens?
1) Oracle Run Time Forms 6i and Oracle/MS Outlook 2003 run fine(Work) when I run them ONE AT A TIME!
2) When I run them together(At the same time) I receive this error message. FRM-40735 ORA-06508.
I have narrowed it down to an Oracle Connector 10g problem.
How did I do that?
In XP Home you can create multi-user accounts.
I created a new user account this time I connected to Microsoft Exchange Server 2000.
Results. Oracle runtime 6i works at the same time as MS Outlook 2003.
I am able to use both Programs at the same time. Without any error messages.
Next Step.
I created a new user account and this time I used an Oracle Connector 10.1g for MS Outlook 2003.
Results: Same error message as before. Ran the application(s) at the same time. FRM-40735 and ORA-06508
Please help with any ideas.
Thank you
Dennis

The product managers look through the forum threads periodically. Some more regularly than others. Since I only look at the forum about once a week, I'm probably the least regular of the PMs. Development also scans the forum, but less regularly.
If you have urgent issues that requires action/response from Oracle, it is better to open an SR with Oracle Support.
Hope that helps,

Oracle Forms Fundementals Study CD installed but wont open!

Oracle Forms Fundementals Study CD installed but wont open! When I click on icon nothing happens! Anybody have any advice?

Sorry guys,was doing some more testing and there have been some new developments.
First, my database is version 10.2.0.4
secondly, on all client machines they have installed Oracle Forms 5.0.6.8.0
Interestingly, i can now open the form by connecting to the 10g database.
But when i try and query for data , run a report and things like that, am getting
the below error.
REP-0501: Unable to connect to the specified database
ORA-12637: TNS: Packet recieved failed

Problem using views containing xpath expressions with Oracle Forms

Mark,
Nice to see you back on the forum answering questions.
This example is based on the standard purchaseorder schema.
i registered the schema, created a relational table and then created
a view using xpath.everything works well and i am able to select the data
using sql*plus. Now this views is like any other view, when i describe the
view, i can see the all the data types are valid for the columns and also the lengths.
Now when i try to base a data block in oracle forms using this view, i get error
"ORA-24324 - service handle not initialized."
Whereas if i create another view on top of the first view and then base the data block on this view, it works for me. i described the second view from sql*plus and everything seems to be same for me.
this is the same behaviour from database 9i r2 and it exists in 10g r1 also.
Any hints as what might be the problem or you would like me to file a tar for this.
create or replace view purchaseorder_header_xml
as
select id
       ,extractvalue(xml_data, '/PurchaseOrder/Reference') reference
       ,extractvalue(xml_data, '/PurchaseOrder/Requestor') requestor
       ,extractvalue(xml_data, '/PurchaseOrder/User')      po_user
       ,extractvalue(xml_data, '/PurchaseOrder/CostCenter') costcenter
       ,extractvalue(xml_data, '/PurchaseOrder/SpecialInstructions') spl_instructions
from tab_xmldata
create or replace view purchaseorder_header
as select * from purchaseorder_header_xml
/Raghu

Not used Forms for years. However I suspect that Forms is trying to poke around behind the view and not understanding what it sees. I expect you'll need to open a Forms Tar to get to the bottom of this. It also appears that you a workaround which is to create a view on the view by the sound of it..

ORA-01858: a non-numeric character found where a digit was expected

Hi,
I'll cut introductions short. We're trying to read data from a flat file (OWB ver.9.2. by the way). After successfully mapping, then generating (with two insignificant warnings), we execute.
Although it says the execution was 'successful', more than a dozen errors return in the form of ORA-01858: a non-numeric character found where a digit was expected
a - Here is the error:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table "TOPSSTAGE"."FLTR_DCS_IRREG", column "OPERATIVE_FLIGHT_LEG_DATE".
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
*it's actually repeated 20 times (Record 1, Record 2, and so on and so forth...) with the same exact error description and details.
b - Here's the part of the OWB-generated script that defines the creation of that field/column:
"OPERATIVE_FLIGHT_LEG_DATE" DATE "mm/dd/yyyy"
c - And here's the data from the flat file (1 of 4 rows)
"2/20/2007","I","0899","N","TPE","MNL","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","750","950","746","955"," P3231",,"04","32","32",,,,,,,,"758","946",,"A000","4","D000","5","000","0","0","0","0","D","P","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","2/22/2007","000","012","144","2/20/2007","2/20/2007"
*the part where it is in bold is the one that is mapped from the column OPERATIVE_FLIGHT_LEG_DATE to the OPERATIVE_FLIGHT_LEG_DATE column (flat to physical, right?)
it is set as DATE in all settings (mapping, file, etc..)
Any form of help will be greatly appreciated :)
Thanks!
Regards,
_lilim

Hi Bharadwaj,
Yes, I believe you are right. And yes that column is designated a primary key. The weird thing is, we do have null values being entered into the table from the flat file, but these values are far from the "OPERATIVE_FLIGHT_LEG_DATE" column (index-wise). Let me give you an example of our case:
this is a row in the flat file: (sample data only)
"2/20/2007","I","0899","N","TPE","MNL","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","750","950","746","955"," P3231",,"04","32","32",,,,,,,,"758","946",,"A000","4","D000","5","000","0","0","0","0","D","P","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","2/22/2007","000","012","144","2/20/2007","2/20/2007"
as you can see, I've made the 'null' values bold, as well as the data for OPERATIVE_FLIGHT_LEG_DATE (which shows up, as you can see, at the end of the row).
Now, in the OWB table, the OPERATIVE_FLIGHT_LEG_DATE column is set as a primary key (or foreign, i think, I'll check again) and, thus, is set as one of those columns to first receive data transferred from the flat file.
We see nothing wrong with our mask (which is mm/dd/yyyy by the way) as well as with our data type settings. It has to be with the flat file I guess. We're gonna try putting in dummy values in place of the null ones in the flat file. I'll get back to you asap. Thanks for helping out. :D
