Parameter into SQL stored procedure

Post Author: ashleyt
CA Forum: Formula
I have a stored procedure that has 16 parameters being passed from the report into the stored procedure.
Is there a way to code the values for 2 of the parameters. They will always be the same value, so I would like parameter 15 and 16 to always have the same value, but still need to be passed into the stored procedure. So how can I "hard code" those values for the parameters so that they do not prompt the user?
Thank you for any and all help!

Can this not be done, or is my explanation not understandable?! Thanks for any help.

Pass date range parameter to SQL stored procedure.

Hi,
I'd like to pass a date range parameter from Crystal Reports to a sql stored procedure. Does anyone know if this is possible?
I've had no problem passing standard datetime (single value) paramaters to and from but am struggling with getting a range value parameter to work.
Environment: Crystal Reports 10/XI and SQL 2000 MSDE version or SQL 2005 Express Edition.
Any help would be appreciated.

Can someone please demonstrate exactly how to use formula results as date parameters to a SQL stored procedure? Keep in mind, there are two parameters to the stored procedure.
I have gleaned this much: Use Add Command and insert the procedure with
EXEC ServerName.dbo.usp_sprocName;1 '{?StringParameter}'
but if I try to do
{CALL ServerName.dbo.usp_SprocName({@Formula1},{@Formula2})}
then it gives the error "No value given for one or more required parameters".
Both of the parameters are VARCHAR(50).
I have finally found this link: [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms710248(VS.85).aspx|http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms710248(VS.85).aspx]
This Microsoft site defines the format of the ODBC escape sequences, but I still do not know how to convince Crystal to insert it's parameter results or formula results.

How to pass a table as parameter on a stored procedure

Hello all,
I want to pass the name of a table as parameter into a stored procedure, that will be used for cursors etc.
But when i pass the parameter and i compile the S.P. it give me error (error: table not existing...)
Any Help?
Thanks in advance, Marco

As i've written above, i'm using stored procedures like 'batch' programs which will be executed with oracle scheduler (passing to s.p. the name of the 'input' tables)
These input tables are 'external' tables which have got the same structure; for example i've got TABLEX_001, TABLEX_002, XXTAB etc. with the same structure.
This is the the reason... what do you think?An external table definition can reference multiple files via the LOCATION definition or you can user "ALTER TABLE" to alter the location and change the file that the external table points to.
Thus you only need one static External Table and use an alter table (via execute immediate) to change the file location it points to, or if you want all the data together, just specify all the files in the location.
That would be clean design, using one fixed table, without the need to pass any table names, just dynamically altering the file names if necessary at run time.

Can I pass an array as an input parameter for a stored procedure on SQL Server 2000

I am trying to pass an array to a stored procedure residing on my SQL Server 2000 database server. Is this even possible? If it is possible, what is the syntax for this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have passed arrays to and from a database using SQL and ActiveX, including to and from stored procedures, but I cannot recall the precise method used to do so. If memory serves, everything is in the form of a string. You need to do a lot of parsing and 'unparsing' to get this data into your stored procedure.
You are left with a couple of options to get your data to the stored procedure. I recommend using SQL in LabVIEW wherever possible as it saves the amount of external code calls (and believe me, calling ActiveX procedures developed by someone else in Visual Basic is NOT much fun at all...). You can either send the array and other data to the stored procedure (you will find the syntax in the SQL references in LabVIEW help under SQL), or you can send
the array to the database, and have the database then act upon the array.
I strongly recommend making routines (subVIs) to handle these operations.
Sorry I don't have the syntax, I don't have SQL installed on this machine. If you can't find the syntax in the help, please post here again.

Microsoft Visual Studio and SQL Server Reporting Services did not like this! When I added my dataset and parameters accordingly, my Dataset had no fields...almost as if running the Stored Procedure in the background to get its Metadata was not working. I
know this works because I tested it as a result of a straight EXEC Command. Why doesn't Microsoft Visual Studio and SQL Server Reporting Services not like this IF? I did end up getting around this by parameterizing the WHERE clause based on the @ReportTypeName
chosen.
WHERE (@ReportTypeName = 'HMO-POS New To HFHP - No Prior Year Member Spans'
AND (CHARINDEX('HMO',LTRIM(RTRIM([#TempTable_Distinct_Individual_Member_All_Info].[INDV Benefit Plan Name])),1) > 0

I appreciate your review and am hopeful for a reply.

Hi ITBobbyP,
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue can be caused by the temp table you are using which will also cause the data not display.
I have use below sample table and record to have a test and details information below for your reference:
Right click the DataSet to select the "DataSet Properties" and click the query designer to execute the stored procedure by click the "!" to check if you can get the data:
If you got some error, the issue can be cause by the temp table invalid, so please make sure you have add the query to create and insert recored to temp table like below:
CREATE PROCEDURE vickytest0311_1
@ReportTypeName nvarchar(50)
AS
create table #VickyTest
column1 int,
column2 varchar(20)
insert into #VickyTest values (1,'Test1')
insert into #VickyTest values (2,'Test2')
insert into #VickyTest values (3,'Test3')
IF @ReportTypeName ='Test1'
BEGIN
select * from #VickyTest
where Column1=1
END
IF @ReportTypeName ='Test2'
BEGIN
select * from #VickyTest
where Column1=2
END
GO
3. I recommend you to not use the temp table and you will not need to add the create and insert statement in the stored procedure.
4. If you still got no data, please try to click the "Refresh fields" as below:
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Creating XML report using PL/SQL Stored Procedure

Hi Friends,
I am working on an xml report with the xml source as PL/SQL Stored Procedure.
I am referring the exercise shown in the following link to understand the process:
   http://orclapp.blogspot.com/2012/02/developing-xml-publisher-report-using.html
In the example shown in the above link I could not understand the following:
1) In the following procedure, the out parameter 'retcode' is not used at all.
   What is the importance of this parameter.
    PROCEDURE REPORT (errbuf OUT VARCHAR2, retcode OUT VARCHAR2, p_product_id   IN     NUMBER)
2) After the xml data is prepared and put to 'l_result' Clob variable, the following
    Loop is executed. I am not able to appreciate why the following loop is required.
     LOOP
         EXIT WHEN l_length = l_retrieved;
         IF (l_length - l_retrieved) < 32000
         THEN
            SELECT SUBSTR (l_result, l_retrieved + 1) INTO l_xmlstr FROM DUAL;
            l_retrieved := l_length;
            fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output, l_xmlstr);
         ELSE
            SELECT SUBSTR (l_result, l_retrieved + 1, l_offset)
              INTO l_xmlstr
              FROM DUAL;
            l_retrieved := l_retrieved + l_offset;
            fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output, l_xmlstr);
         END IF;
     END LOOP;
3) In the example it is not explained how the concurrent program gets the xml data?
   I assume it is written to a file using the following line of code:
    fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output, l_xmlstr);
   I would appreciate if anyone can throw some light into my above queries so that I can understand the process clearly.
Thanks & Regards

Hi 32000 in the code is a 'safe' size smaller than the max available 32767, the loops purpose is to move through the entire thing in chunks that will be manageable in the limits of the data type.
Btw; if you are in Oracle e-business suite then you can also use Oracle reports very simply to create XML output.
If you have reports developer all you need to do is put raw sql (without any 'artifice' to create XML) in the report SQL and then set the reports output to XML in the program definition in Oracle e-business.

Executing a shell script from pl/sql stored procedure

Hi,
I have Oracle 8i on HP-UX.
I am passing a shell script name as a parameter to a user defined function from a pl/sql stored procedure. This user defined function has insterface to a user defined Java class file in Aurora java virtual machine which is written using runtime class which can execute any OS command or any shell script. I am getting any OS command run successfully, but could not run my own shell script. It's is not getting environment variables of my own, so not getting executed. So please suggest how can get these env variables in my shell script and also suggest other sucurity concerns to be taken into consideration.
If you have any questions please let me know.
This is really a very urgent issue.....
Please help me.
Thanks

Your best bet is to use the dbms_pipe builtin package to send the command to the host

APEX - accepting OUT variable values from PL/SQL Stored Procedure

I have created a page (Form) which is accepting values text fields.
In the Page Processing section under Processing, I am passing the values to a PL/SQL Stored Procedure, which acts like an API. The procedure contains code to validate the entered data and finally insert the data into the base tables. The procedure also contains OUT variables in the parameter that would return status of processing and any error messages.
Now, my question is, how can I make the page accept these OUT variables from the procedure. What I wish to do is, to capture these messages/processing status from the procedure in the page. For example, if there is a error in the data and the procedure is sending this message in the OUT variable, I need this to be displayed on the page as an error message.
Is this possible in APEX?
Regards,
Santhosh Jose

Hi VC,
I just tried putting the string directly instead of the variable. Its still not giving me the expected results.
HOWEVER, I think the reason was because of the EXCEPTION block in my code. I have an EXCEPTION block to handle exceptions. I commented the WHEN OTHERS section and now the error message is coming on the page.
So what I have done now is as follows: At the point at which the error is expected, I am raising a handled exception. And within the exception handling, I am giving RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR.
WHEN ex_main_error*
THEN*
p_status := 2;*
p_msg := 'ERROR Stage: '||lc_err_stage||' ERROR Message: '||lc_err_msg;*
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR (-20001, p_msg);*
This is working now! Which is very good news. Thanks once again for your help!

Help on writing pl/sql stored procedure to accept input in xml format

Hi All,
I need to write a pl.sql stored procedure which would be getting the input as an xml.
The requirement is that xml data recieved in below fashion needs to be inserted to 3 different tables.
The tags under the root node directly needs to be inserted into Table1
The tags under the first element of the root node needs to be inserted into Table2
Can anybody help me on how to write a stored procedure which could take up the below xml as input and insert the data received into 3 different tables.
Any sample code.pointers to achieve this could be of great help.
The structure of the xml would be as follows:
<AssemblyProduct>
<AssemblyHeader>
<Name></Name>
<AssemblyId></AssemblyId>
<ListOfHCSIFFs><HCSIFFHeader><Id></Id> </HCSIFFHeader> </ListOfHCSIFFs>
<ListOfHCSIFFs><HCSIFFHeader><Id></Id> </HCSIFFHeader> </ListOfHCSIFFs>
<ListOfHCSIFFs><HCSIFFHeader><Id></Id> </HCSIFFHeader> </ListOfHCSIFFs>
</AssemblyHeader>
<AssemblyHeader>
<Name></Name>
<AssemblyId></AssemblyId>
</AssemblyHeader>
<AssemblyHeader></AssemblyHeader>
<ApplicationId></ApplicationId>
<ApplicationName></ApplicationName>
<ApplicationValidFrom></ApplicationValidFrom>
<ApplicationValidTo></ApplicationValidTo>
</AssemblyProduct>

Well you could write your procedure to accept a parameter of XMLTYPE datatype and then use that value in a query inside the procedure to break the data up as required using something like XMLTABLE e.g.
-- Nested repeating groups example:
WITH t as (select XMLTYPE('
<RECSET>
<REC>
    <COUNTRY>1</COUNTRY>
    <POINT>1800</POINT>
    <USER_INFO>
      <USER_ID>1</USER_ID>
      <TARGET>28</TARGET>
      <STATE>6</STATE>
      <TASK>12</TASK>
    </USER_INFO>
    <USER_INFO>
      <USER_ID>5</USER_ID>
      <TARGET>19</TARGET>
      <STATE>1</STATE>
      <TASK>90</TASK>
    </USER_INFO>
</REC>
<REC>
    <COUNTRY>2</COUNTRY>
    <POINT>2400</POINT>
    <USER_INFO>
      <USER_ID>3</USER_ID>
      <TARGET>14</TARGET>
      <STATE>7</STATE>
      <TASK>5</TASK>
    </USER_INFO>
</REC>
</RECSET>') as xml from dual)
-- END OF TEST DATA
select x.country, x.point, y.user_id, y.target, y.state, y.task
from t
    ,XMLTABLE('/RECSET/REC'
              PASSING t.xml
              COLUMNS country NUMBER PATH '/REC/COUNTRY'
                     ,point   NUMBER PATH '/REC/POINT'
                     ,user_info XMLTYPE PATH '/REC/*'
             ) x
    ,XMLTABLE('/USER_INFO'
              PASSING x.user_info
              COLUMNS user_id NUMBER PATH '/USER_INFO/USER_ID'
                     ,target NUMBER PATH '/USER_INFO/TARGET'
                     ,state   NUMBER PATH '/USER_INFO/STATE'
                     ,task    NUMBER PATH '/USER_INFO/TASK'
             ) y
   COUNTRY      POINT    USER_ID     TARGET      STATE       TASK
         1       1800          1         28          6         12
         1       1800          5         19          1         90
         2       2400          3         14          7          5And then you can extract and insert whatever parts you want into whatever tables as part of the procedure.

Calling SQL stored procedure dynamically

Hallo,
could anybody tell me how to call HANA SQL stored procedure dynamically?
The coding looks like this:
v_ProcedureName := '"' || KpiNamespace || '::' || KpiName || '"';
v_SQL := 'CALL ' || :v_ProcedureName || '( lt_outKPI )';
EXEC :v_SQL;
For this call I get the error message:
"Transaction rolled back by an internal error: wrong number or types of parameters in call: Physical table is not allowed in OUT table variable position: LT_OUTKPI: line 1 col 55 (at pos 54)"
The procedure to be called dynamically has a table output parameter.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Alexey Romanov.
Hi Alex,
Can you share your requirement on exactly what is the need to call the procedure dynamically?
For your question, have a look on the below:
1) Have a procedure named EMPLOYEE_DETAILS
http://scn.sap.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-14895702-415799/236-170/pastedImage_0.png
2) Created one more procedure named Dynamically as shown below:
CREATE PROCEDURE Dynamically ()
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE QUERY VARCHAR(1000);
QUERY := 'call EMPLOYEE_DETIALS(?)';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE (:QUERY);
END;
3) Output:
http://scn.sap.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-14895702-415800/210-189/pastedImage_3.png

Krishna Tangudu
Hi Krishna,
Thanks for your reply!
Unfortunately, I can neither go to ‘full discussion’, nor open the pictures, you have attached, nor see you reply.
That’s why I just add my reply to the problem description.
The procedure name is composed out of 2 parts on-the-fly, that is why I have to call it dynamically:
create local temporary table "#KPIEvals"(
          "KpiNamespace" NVARCHAR(256) CS_STRING,
          "KpiName" NVARCHAR(32) CS_STRING,
          "KpiText" NVARCHAR(256) CS_STRING,
          "Responsible" NVARCHAR(256) CS_STRING );
FOR cur_row as c_cursor DO
     v_SQL := '';
     v_ProcedureName := '"' || cur_row."KpiNamespace" || '::' || cur_row."KpiName" || '"';
     v_SQL := 'CALL ' || :v_ProcedureName || '( lt_outKPI )';
     EXEC :v_SQL;
     v_SQL := 'INSERT INTO "#KPIEvals" SELECT * FROM :lt_out_kpi';
     EXEC :v_SQL;
END FOR;
I guess there might be 2 reasons for the problem:
1.     All the procedures are called dynamically in a loop.
2.     All the procedures have an output parameter, which is a table.
Hope that helps,
Best Regards,
Alex.

Hi Alexey, I think what you may need to do in this case is to do the insert into your temp table from within the dynamically called procedure, therefore no need for output param in your procedure call. You can then select from the temp table in your main procedure. Hope that makes sense.

Unable to use the values returned by a PL/SQL stored procedure in a XSQL page

Hi,
I've been messing around with XML and XSQL in particular. I was trying to write a xsql page to display a report with account totals...I have the following .xsql which calls a PL/SQL stored procedure :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsql:query connection="pfcdm" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
<xsql:set-session-param name="zasset_total" value="100">
<xsql:dml connection="pfcdm">
rraman.sp_vw_id(zasset_total,zinvm_total,zmkt_val);
</xsql:dml>
</xsql:set-session-param>
select 'Asset total is {@zasset_total}' as "ASSET_TOTAL" from dual
</xsql:query>
My procedure sp_vw_id returns the values that it should. But, I am not sure how to declare variables within a page, and to output the return values. There is very scanty documentation on the usage of <xsql:dml> or <xsql:ref-cursor-function>.
Any response would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Raja

Here is the example from the Oracle9i (complete rewrite) of the XSQL Chapter in our Oracle documentation.
Question
I using <xsql:dml> to call a stored procedure which has one OUT parameter, but I was not able to see any results. The executed code results in the following statement:
<xsql-status action="xsql:dml" rows="0"/>
Answer
You cannot set parameter values by binding them in the position of OUT variables in this release using <xsql:dml>. Only IN parameters are supported for binding. You can create a wrapper procedure that constructs XML elements using the HTP package and then your XSQL page can invoke the wrapper procedure using <xsql:include-owa> instead.
For an example, suppose you had the following procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE addmult(arg1 NUMBER,
arg2 NUMBER,
sumval OUT NUMBER,
prodval OUT NUMBER) IS
BEGIN
sumval := arg1 + arg2;
prodval := arg1 * arg2;
END;You could write the following procedure to "wrap" it, taking all of the IN arguments that the procedure above expects, and then "encoding" the OUT values as a little XML datagram that you print to the OWA page buffer:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE addmultwrapper(arg1 NUMBER, arg2 NUMBER) IS
sumval NUMBER;
prodval NUMBER;
xml VARCHAR2(2000);
BEGIN
-- Call the procedure with OUT values
addmult(arg1,arg2,sumval,prodval);
-- Then produce XML that encodes the OUT values
xml := '<addmult>'| |
'<sum>'| |sumval| |'</sum>'| |
'<product>'| |prodval| |'</product>'| |
'</addmult>';
-- Print the XML result to the OWA page buffer for return
HTP.P(xml);
END;This way, you can build an XSQL page like this that calls the wrapper procedure:
<page connection="demo" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
<xsql:include-owa bind-params="arg1 arg2">
BEGIN addmultwrapper(?,?); END;
</xsql:include-owa>

Added new parm to an existing SQL stored procedure CR 11 doesn't like it

Hi
I have added a new parameter to an existing SQL stored procedure (SQL 2000). This stored procedure is currently being called from a Crystal XI report. It prompts for a date which works great. (The report was created with this parameter). I added a new parameter to the stored procedure. When I do a preview in Crystal, it prompts for the new parameter, but is NULL when I look at the SQL query and it brings back no data. If I try to verify the database, it tells me that I am missing parameter @ProcessType (varchar(5))--(name of new parameter). I have physically added this parameter to the crystal report with the select expert and still no luck. I have already tried renaming the procedure but am unable to update datasource location because of this parameter. The report is very detailed and I do NOT want to create a new report.

Unfortunately, I have tried and retried to do this. Nothing changes. I usually would get a message like database has changed, proceeding to fix report. I don't get this. It merely tells me database is up to date and only returns the 1 parameter, yet when I go to the datasouce and try to update it, it tells me that I have not supplied the new parameter.
I have tried everything, from closing Crystal reports and then going so far as to reboot my machine, just in case their was some kind of caching going on.
I have even asked other people I work with to look at it to make sure I am not doing something dumb...

How to pass the parameter of a stored procedure to iReport

Hi... i don't know how to pass the parameter of the stored procedure to the iReport.
In the Report Query, i tried
1. sp_storedprocedure ' value'
2. sp_storedprocedure +''''+$P{parameter}+''''+
3. sp_storedprocedure +$V+$P{parameter}++$F($F is a variable having a value of ' (a single quote))may you enlighten us please? thank you

For M$ SQL server I find that it only works when U use the fully qualified name...
e.g. catalod.dbo.my_procedure_name 'variable'
My full query in the Report Query window is something like this:
EXEC arc.dbo.jasper_Invoice 1000
Note that you may find that selecting from VIEWS / TABLES fails for no apparent reason and iReport will prompt you with the usual very unhelpful (we have what we "pay" for) prompt, stating that "The document is empty".
To work around this issue, where a statement like "SELECT * FROM arc.dbo.acc_invoices WHERE Invoice_id=1000" does not work, simply create a PROC, something like:
CREATE PROC jasper_MyProc (@my_rec_id integer) AS
SELECT * FROM arc.dbo.acc_invoices WHERE Invoice_id= @my_rec_id integer
...to wrap your SELECT statement, then call the PROC

How to send a Varying Array param to a PL/SQL Stored Procedure from Java

* I am VERY new to jdbc, and even somewhat new to Java
* I'm using Java 1.5, Oracle 10g.
* I need to call the following PL/SQL Stored Procedure from Java:
procedure setEventStatus
i_deQueueStatus in deQueueStatus_type
*deQueueStatus_type is the following (an array of deQueueStatus_OBJ):
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE deQueueStatus_OBJ as object
eventID number (20),
dequeuestatus varchar2(20)
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE deQueueStatus_TYPE IS VARYING ARRAY(500) of deQueueStatus_obj
*I have created a Java object as follows:
public class EventQueueDeQueueStatus
     long      eventID;
     String      dequeueStatus;
     EventQueueDeQueueStatus(long eventID, String dequeueStatus)
          this.eventID = eventID;
          this.dequeueStatus = dequeueStatus;
I have an ArrayList of these.
I need to pass this list to the Stored Procedure. How do I create a java.sql.Array so I can call CallableStatement.setArray to set the parameter? Or do I use something else? I have tried setObject with both the ArrayList and also with a primitive array, but got "Invalid Column Type" both times.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just got this task today, and I have to make it work by Tuesday :-( !
Thanks,
Kathy

Kathy,
Search the archives of this forum and the JDBC forum for the terms STRUCT and ARRAY and you can find some sample code on the JDBC How-To Documents page and the JDBC Samples which can both be accessed from this page:

Good Luck,
Avi.

How do i handle out parameter from a stored procedure in a vb form?

hi all,
I want to return a varchar2(500) type of out parameter from a pl/sql stored procedure to a vb form?? how do i do this??
regards
akshay

Well, when you create the parameter collection for your command object, just set the correct value for the direction component.
You would set it to one of the below, depending on if the parameter is IN OUT or only OUT:
<parameter_obj>.Direction = ParameterDirectionEnum.adParamInputOutput
<parameter_obj>.Direction = ParameterDirectionEnum.adParamOutput
