Invalid charater in Excel when input .txt file that run from Oracle discove

Hi All,
I ran a report from oracle discover and saved as txt file, then open it with excel, the chinese will be shown as invalid character.
The problem is that Chinese characters can't be displayed well if I download the report (in csv ) from discover desktop version on my computer and open it with excel.
Pls. help to resolve the problem.
Thanks.

Hello
I'm afraid that I don't have much experience of working with Chinese characters and can see nothing in my notes that might help. Give it a couple of days for others to reply and if you don't get anywhere I recommend raising this as a service request with Oracle Support.
Best wishes

How continuously write data to a txt file

hello,
first of all, sorry for bad English, but I have a problem to continuously write data to the txt file.... I have one 2D array with values of some function and based on 2 sliders (values of the sliders) i want to interpolate value using bilinear method... and after that value of the sliders, interpolated value, and value of the nearest points i wish to write to txt file ... for every 2-3 seconds perhaps it would be ideal to be formated as ::
x y f f1 f2 f3 f4
but... first i have problem with writing data, because every time it deletes old data and just write new one and it's not horizontal... I'm very very new at this (it is obvious) and any help will be very appreciative
thanks

Hi there,
May I suggest you start with the LabVIEW tutorial? Or perhaps this one?
I say that because 1) you said you're new at this, and these tutorials are great for getting started; and 2) you don't seem to understand the concept of dataflow.
A structure, such as a loop or subVI or function, cannot start executing until it has all of its inputs available. Therefore, the loop which contains your file write (bottom loop) cannot execute until your top loop is done executing, because it depends on inputs from your top loop and those inputs aren't available until the top loop is finished. Thus, your file will contain only the data from your final top loop execution. You might be thinking that your loops are executing in parallel. They are not. Your file loop is executing after your data loop has finished...that is to say, your file loop executes exactly once, after you press your stop button.
You can do two things here to fix that:
1. You can move your file write into the top (data) loop. (probably easier for now)
2. You can use a queue to transfer the data from your top (data) loop into your bottom (file write) loop. (more complex, but a better idea in the long run)
One other thing. Move the "open file" function outside the loop. Opening and closing the file in each loop iteration will cause problems. Open the file once. Write to it in each loop iteration. Close it when you're done. Like this:
Note that this is not complete code...you need to provide the data to write. This is just to show you how to set up a continuous file write.
Ok, start with the tutorials and we'll go from there.

And metalink note 1100253.1 states that this issue (java.lang.StackOverflowError) might be caused by a too large set of data to be sorted in the layout file. Recommendation is to removed the sort from the layout file and instead sort the data already in the data definition.

How do I access a .txt file in Xcode for an OSX command line tool?

I'm in school learning C and C++, and we have to read from and write to .txt files regularly. But I can't figure out how to open a .txt file in Xcode.
if FILE *buffer = fopen(filename,"r"); where filename is a pointer to a char array holding the name of the file, it works perfectly fine in the terminal. It compiles, in both Xcode and GCC, but when I try to actually open the file in Xcode, my program can never find it and quits the application (so it doesn't crash).
Long story short, what do I have to do to get my programs in Xcode to read from a .txt file?
I tried putting a copy of input.txt in every folder within the project, including it in the source files, adding it to target (which I don't wholly understand), I don't know what to do.

Make sure the filename has an absolute path. If the path is relative it will point to a different location depending on where you run the program from.
When you run it from within Xcode itself the binary is buried way inside the project hierarchy (you can see where it is by selecting the program in the Products folder and doing a Show in Finder).
The safest bet is to always specify a specific directory for any writes you do.
regards
As an example for this program in Xcode (assumoing you will be able to see the images)
The binary is located here

Add .txt files into .zip file

Hello friends,
Any buddy knows how to add ".txt" files into ".zip" format through the ABAP code.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Murali,
You can use the method in the class CL_ABAP_GZIP to zip your file and then download it using GUI_DOWNLOAD.
data: zip type ref to cl_abap_zip,
result type xstring.
create object zip.
zip->add( name = some_file content = content ).
result = zip->save( ).

Updated record should come in txt file

Hi Friends,
My requirements like this way, any changes make in mara, mard, mbew, makt, vbak, vbap, vbrk and abrp table. that newly created data should come in .txt file of application server.
I have already developed a program for that. it is downloading data in every 3 hours slots. it is running in background. whatever changes made during these hours it will download.
now, my requirement has been changed, instance data should come in .txt file of app server. e.g. when newly created record save in database table, same time that record should come in .txt file with proper format.
is it possible? please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Parag

Hi Parag,
To obtain changes you know you can get the details from the tables CDHDR and CDPOS.
Also you have questions about performance and so. SO here are some details.
- When you flag a data element for change document (is checked) it is ONLY a marker that allows for registration of this field's changes into CDHDR and CDPOS. The actual control is done on datafile level in its technical settings (Transaction SE11 with datafile name and then push button "Technical Settings" or CtrlShiftF9). Herein you will find a flag "Log data changes".
Within the CDHDR file and CDPOS file a field OBJECTCLAS is used. Only for existing OBJECTCLAS values the changes are logged.
- Now obvious this is the trick for standard SAP (as Subramanian has already pointed out you can find "OBJECTCLAS" values with transaction SCDO). If you want to know on how to create your own "OBJECTCLAS" values with working logging on your own designed fields follow Subramanian suggestion and read the documentation.
Now to your questions:
You gave some tables you need to track changes (and now also for initial creation) like MARA, MARD, MAKT and others.
To get changes for these tables use the following "OBJECTCLAS" values:
- MATERIAL (Tables MARA, MARC, MARD, MBEW, MFHM, MLGN, MLGT, MPGD, MPOP and MVKE). By-the-way, this object will be replaced by MATERIAL_N (available from release 4.6x).
- VERKBELEG (Tables VBAK, VBAP, VBEP, VBKD, VBLB, VBPA, VBPA2 and VBUK).
To collect changes (suggested by Andreas) you could use function module CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ. This is very usefull if also archiving is active for the objects you need to track changes for and your changes are scattered through time, but for your problem it is better to approach the log data directly.
1. First select the main change documents from CDHDR table for a given "OBJECTCLAS" and "OBJECTID". Here you can use additional filtering on DATE (field UDATE) and TIME (field (UTIME). Even filtering on a specific transaction is possible (field TCODE).
This gives you a number of change documents (field CHANGENR).
2a. Secondly select the specific field changes from table CDPOS by using the found fields from CDHDR and additionally fill TABNAME with the specific table and if required FNAME with the specific field name. 2b. Since in your case the values will not be known, you need to track changes, you have to be very carefull in your selections. If you track the object MATERIAL or MATERIAL_N, you best loop over the MARA table and for each MATNR fill the OBJECTID field of CDHDR with this MATNR value.
3. In order to find NEWLY created items you need to check the CHANGE_IND flag. When 'I' it is an new insert, when 'U' it is an update. Now this rule applies ONLY to key fields, since SAP first creates the key record (CHANGE_IND = 'I') and then the other fields (CHANGE_IND = 'U').
Finally the warning given by Andreas (runtime increases - you MUST select with OBJECTCLAS and OBJECTID) is very important. Not supplying OBJECTID will have a very heavy impact on the runtime.
Hope this gives you some clues on how to approach your problem.
Regards,
Rob.

Write word file in proper format...

Respected teachers and mydear friends
I am stuck-up with the following problem ..Can any one please help me ?
I want to write a doc file with proper format ex Resume. using Java
I am using java.io package for writing the doc file. I am not using AWT , Swing or any other GUI components.
I am able to write doc file .The contents are properly written but all the contents are in one font and one size. I want to vary that. How can I do this ?
Any idea.
Thanks and Regards

When you say 'doc' do you mean Microsoft's Word document format? If so, the formatting is part of a complete specfication based on MS's OLE 2 compound documents.
You can't really use I/O directly unless you know the file format specification which I think is MS proprietary.
You could have a look here (http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/) since they have done work on an API reading and writing this format.
If it's not MS Word based, ignore the above. You're still gonna need a file format though for fonts, etc (try RTF).

Analyze test result from txt file

I need some suggestions from experts. I saved test result in txt file with following format(See attachment). With this test result, I need draw waveform of 'DNBr' based on different OPmode(ADSL2P, VDSL2-8a...). The X-axis will be the value from 'DLS'. I can creat a complicate VI to do that. But I want to if Labview has any subvi can do this job easier.

Need help in writing data to a flat file in .csv format

Hi All,
could you please show with a sample example to write data in .csv format using UTL_file.
The result of the refcursor i want to write to a file in .csv format.
How can i achieve this.
Thx

Hi,
There are two ways to acheive this.
First and which I prefer is creating a SQL script which will generate csv file at the specified location in CSV format. And then this SQL script can be called from your cron job similar to how you call stored procedure. Following is pseudo code that can be used -
set linesize 500
set echo off
set feedback off
set prompt off
set pagesize 0
spool <name of the csv file>.csv
<Your select statement>;
spool offPut select statement delimiting columns you want to use with ','. E.g. following query should create a CSV file named as abc.csv with one record and 2 columns delimited by comma. First column is ENO and second column is ENAME.
set linesize 500
set echo off
set feedback off
set prompt off
set pagesize 0
spool abc.csv
select ENO || ',' || ENAME from employee;
spool offSecond, you can write a PLSQL procedure and then call this procedure from cron job. There is a generic procedure shared by BluShadow some time back which is a very good example for this. Please refer to following link for this solution -
REF Cursor creating CSV files
I will suggest to use first method above if possible since it will be faster and less complicated in my opinion. Second method is recommended for scenarios where select statement is created dynamically and cannot be written during development.
Hope this solves your purpose.

Writing a report file with specific information

Hi, all:
I need to write a text file with specific information in it. I'm going to copy it into Excel, so the easier the format, the better (perhaps CSV format?). I've never done this before, so here's the method I need to capture the information from:
     public void step() {
          greenColorStorage = new ArrayList();
          magentaColorStorage = new ArrayList();
          System.out.println( "==> Model step " + getTickCount() );// Checking step #
          for (int i = 0; i < soldierList.size (); i++) {
               Soldier s = (Soldier) soldierList.get (i);
               s.step();
          Collections.shuffle(soldierList);
          System.out.println("Shuffling collection now.");
          dsurf.updateDisplay ();
          System.out.println("Model.step() finished.");
          for (int i = 0; i < soldierList.size (); i++) {
               Soldier s = (Soldier) soldierList.get (i);
               if (s.getMyColor() == Color.green ) {
                    greenColorStorage.add(s);
               if (s.getMyColor() == Color.magenta ) {
                    magentaColorStorage.add(s);
          if (magentaColorStorage.size() == 0 || greenColorStorage.size() == 0 ) {
               stop();
     }In this method, I need to capture this information: There are soldiers on the Green team and on the Magenta team. I need to know how many there are originally, how many in this time step, at what time step the model stops, and how many of the winning color team are left when the model stops. How do I do this? If you can point me to a specific thread that shows how to write a report file like this, I'd be grateful, since I couldn't find one when I searched. Otherwise, I'd be grateful for examples. I'm in the middle of doing some research, and I have the feeling that I'll need to write report files in the future, so if you'd explain any code you provide, I would be quite grateful--I need to understand what I'm doing as well as simply using your code so that I can really learn what I'm doing when I do this again. Thanks very much!

Execute commands/statements in txt file supplied to plsql procedure

Hi,
I need to execute commands which are in txt file , this txt filepath is supplied to the procedure.
In the procedure i want to open the txt file and read the commands and run the commands.
Please help on this .
Edited by: 904032 on Jun 26, 2012 12:02 AM

The fact that you are supplying a file path (more correctly known as a directory) is going to be your first problem. Security within Oracle means that access to files on the file server require a directory object to be specified and these directory objects refer to a specific directory on the file server. If you're going to be passing different directories into your procedure then you're going to have to have different directory objects set up for all the possible directories that can be accessed (or issue dynamic DDL to redefine a known directory object each time).
Once you've done that you can use the UTL_FILE package (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e25788/u_file.htm#ARPLS70906) to read the contents of the file as lines.
Then it depends what you mean by "commands" and "statements". Are you referring to operating system commands?... If so you will need to use something like the DBMS_SCHEDULER package to issue a job to run immediately with the appropriate command, as that is able to issue operating system commands, or you are going to have to write some Java code to issue commands for you (plenty of examples if you google). OR, perhaps you are referring to SQL statements? These could possibly be issued using the PL/SQL execute immediate statement, but you will be leaving your database open to SQL injection and major security issues, something that most companies would consider a serious flaw and not want.
how to read string which is delimited by ';'. or how read each charater in a file ..About time you read the documentation (http://tahiti.oracle.com/). There are functions: SUBSTR and INSTR which can search for things in strings and extract parts of strings, or you can use the more advanced regular expression versions of those REGEXP_SUBSTR and REGEXP_INSTR, or even REGEXP_REPLACE (which is also good for extracting parts of strings).

How to store txt file into Oracle 7 Database using Pro*C

Hi,
I want to store a txt file into Oracle 7 database table using
Pro*C application. But do not know what type of column to use.
At first glance it appeared to me as LONG can serve the purpose
but later I noticed that I can not do the sequential read/write
in LONG type of column. That is, I have to use chunks of max of
2GB (or file lenght) to read/write into such columns.
I want something simiar to CLOB of Oracle 8.
I would appreciate if you can provide me solution.
Thanks,
Anurag

You store images in a BLOB column in the database.
However, inserting image in that column and displaying data/image from that column are 2 very different tasks.
If you are using Oracle forms, displaying is easy. Default block sitting on the table with BLOB column, can be easily mapped to image box (or similar control), which will display that image.
Inserting images will be a different ball game. If your forms are web based (i.e. run from browser) and you want to insert images from client machine, some special arrangements are required.
If images are on database server and you want to insert them in database, the stored procedure given in the earlier thread (posted above) will do the job.
