Passing an array in a for loop to a procedure

I am trying to pass an array in a cursor for loop to a procedure which performs a table insert using the array's contents. Somehow I am missing something, or it is not possible. The compile error states: PLS-00306: wrong number or types in call to 'insert_address' I checked to be sure I am creating the arrays in both cases from similar data objects. Both address and work_address_table contain the same 4 columns with the same data types.
create or replace package work_address as
FUNCTION populate_address return boolean;
procedure insert_address(in_address IN work_address_table%ROWTYPE);
end work_address;
create or replace package body work_address as
function populate_address return boolean is
cursor c1 is
select 'H' as header,
street1 as street
city as city,
NULL as state
from address
where city = 'HANOVER';
TYPE addressT IS TABLE OF c1%ROWTYPE INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
rec1 addressT;
BEGIN
OPEN c1;
FETCH c1 BULK COLLECT INTO rec1 LIMIT 500;
FOR i IN 1..rec1.count LOOP
rec1(i).state := 'US'
insert_address(rec1(i));
exit when c1%notfound;
END LOOP;
CLOSE c1;
return TRUE;
END populate_address;
PROCEDURE insert_address(in_address IN work_address_table%ROWTYPE) IS

INSERT INTO work_address_table
VALUES (in_address.header,
in_address.street,
in_address.city,
in_address.state);
COMMIT;
END insert_address;
END work address;

Both address and work_address_table contain the same 4 columns with the same data types.Are you 100% sure about this?

  • Truncating an array within a for loop

    I'm currently working with a program that builds an array of 3000*N real numbers, where N is a control that I specify. I want to pass this array into a for loop that runs N times, each time splitting the first 3000 numbers of the array. So, in other words I want the for loop to execute enough times such that the initial array will be completely divided into groups of 3000 when I'm finished. Later I'll be finding the maximum value of all of these subarrays and taking the average of those. What I tried first is to pass the array into the for loop, then truncate it at index = 3000, but the problem is that I can't hard code the loop to do this N times. Any advice or other methods you'd recommend for doing this?
    Thanks.
    Message Edited by Robtn on 03-05-2010 03:17 PM

    Mark--I don't think I can use that approach. Let me be more specific on what the problem is:
    Our "big program" is a giant while loop that constantly reads in voltage values from a DAQ assistant.
    It has two modes, the first of which I'm having a lot of trouble with. This mode uses a for loop (N = 3000) nested within the giant while loop.
    When the for loop activates, the DAQ assistant takes reads 300 samples for every iteration and takes the maximum of those 300 values. It then builds an array composed of all the maxima. After the for loop has executed 3000 times, a case structure activates, which then finds the maximum of the array of maxima.
    I want this (N=3000) for loop to execute an arbitrary number of times, a number that I will specify. Each of those times it should generate a completely seperate array of maxima. So, if I want the for loop to run 5 times, I want 5 different arrays.
    My approach for doing this was to change N=3000 to say N = 15000, then split up the resulting array 5 times. So, I need an entirely separate for loop that reads in this array of 15000 maxima on its own and splits it 5 ways. I think what you're suggesting is to use a for loop outside of the N=3000 loop, which is a good idea in theory, but experience has shown that this will not generate 5 separate arrays. It will actually concatenate each array into one, hence the problem we currently have.
    Yik--I won't have access to Labview over the weekend. Is it possible to take a screenshot and post it, or maybe a short description?
    Thank you for the responses.

    Hi,
    I'm outputting a 194-element array from a MATLAB script node into a for loop where the array is indexed then converted into a 8-bit boolean pattern which I'm trying to output using DAQ Assistant. I'm using LabVIEW 8.2 and a PCI 6133 DAQ using a counter(Ctr0InternalOutput) to time the output. The first element of the array goes through the loop perfectly however never makes it's way back through and throws error 200609: Generation cannot be started because the slescted buffer size is too small. Increase the buffer size. After probing the line before DAQ Assistant I confirmed only one element makes it through the loop and then throws this error? I've trying doing the same things with lower lowel DAQmx vi's using a DAQmx configure output buffer vi to override this buffer size problem, but still get the same result(not the error but same data flow problem)? Anybody know what's going on? I've included the vi's I've been working with. Thanks!

    Wow, that's a really clever and elegant way to do it promethuzz. I actually came up with something already before I read your post so yeah don't worry about me copying or anything. Mine is not as elegant/efficient and I definitely like yours a lot more but I will just share it anyway...it looks pretty similar to the second algorithm The_Matrix has provided. I figured this out from thinking how quicksort compares its pivot with the two indexes...
        int front=0;
        int back = a.length - 1;
        int counter =0;
        boolean switchflag = true;
        while(front<=back)
          System.out.println(a[counter]);
          if(switchflag)
            counter = back;
            front++;
            switchflag = false;
          else
            counter = front;
            back--;
            switchflag = true;
        } Anyways, thanks a lot for you guys help, promethuzz, The_Matrix, and newark.

  • How to output last 4 arrays from a For Loop?

    Hi People,
    I am almost at the end of my tether. I really hope someone could please help me.
    Any input would be welcome. VI attached.
    VI explanation:
    I initialize an array.
    The random number generator simulates my camera input.
    Depending on which iteration it is, the data is added into one of four output arrays.
    'x-y*floor(x/y)' gives a remainder value of 0, 1, 2 or 3.
    'Case Selector' just adds 1 to 'x-y*floor(x/y)' to get case 1, 2, 3 or 4.
    Shots 1, 5, 9 etc are added to Array 1 (Case 1).
    Shots 2, 6, 10 etc are added to Array 2 (Case 2).
    Shots 3, 7, 11 etc are added to Array 3 (Case 3).
    Shots 4, 8, 12 etc are added to Array 4 (Case 4).
    Averaged Output displays the averaged value i.e. the total value divided by the number of shots saved in that array ('Set (IQ+1)').
    My problems are:
    1) I would like to output only the last 4 sets of data from the Averaged Output 1, 2, 3 and 4 to 4 different files (i.e. save as .csv what is displayed onscreen in indicators 'Averaged Output 1', 2, 3 and 4 at the end of all iterations.
    Where should I place my file save diagram disable so that it does this?
    Putting it outside the main For Loop with auto-indexing on gives me one file with all previous data. (This is not feasible as my number of shots should number in the thousands)
    Putting it outside the main For Loop with auto-indexing off gives me only the last set of data. (I need the output for 4 Arrays, not just the last run)
    Putting it inside the main For Loop (as shown) gives me the same number of files as number of iterations. (Again not feasible due to large number of files that will be generated and slow camera capture)
    For the sake of fast camera capture, I would like these 4 files to only output once all the image captures are complete.
    2) Would preferably like to name the file once and for the programme to append '(1)', '(2)', '(3)' and '(4)' to filename of the appropriate 'Averaged Output' Arrays but file path controls are another big headache for me.
    3) P.s. is initializing one array enough to avoid using Memory Manager? Or should I initialize 4 arrays?
    I am using Labview 2010.

    Thanks so much Lennard!!
    Hi JKSH,
    I've been busy trying to complete the dang code, but for completeness so that other users can learn too, I shall answer your queries. Thanks for looking in.
    First, what do you mean by "add"? Your code in your case strcuture sums your input values, so your array size doesn't change. However, you also said "Putting it outside the main For Loop with auto-indexing on gives me one file with all previous data. (This is not feasible as my number of shots should number in the thousands)" -- it sounds like you are expecting an array with thousands of elements. So, what should "Output Array N" look like?
    Ans: Output Array N should be a 4x4 array of the summation of all the numbers generated during every 4th iteration.
    i.e. if random number 1=1, random number 2=2, etc, And 'No of iterations' is 12,
    Output Array 1 should be 1+5+9:
    15 15 15 15
    15 15 15 15
    15 15 15 15
    15 15 15 15
    (Note: Most of your arrays are 4x4, but in Case #2 you created 128x128. I prersume this is a typo?)
    Ans: Kind of, I'm using a 4x4 array of randomly generated numbers as an example but my actual data will be the 128x128 pixel output of a camera. And during actual experimentation, 'No of Iterations' will number in the thousands.
    Second, why do you add your "simulated camera input" to the "Initialized Array"? You can add it direcly to the previous output inside your case structure.
    Ans: See answer to question 3
    Third, have a look at shift registers: http://www.ni.com/gettingstarted/labviewbasics/shiftregisters.htm. Use them instead of Feedback Nodes to make your code tidier.
    Ans: I did try.. But I can't seem to add shift registers to the case structure, only the for loops outside. Are you sure it can be done..?

    You will need to call "Write to Text File.vi" 4 times to write 4 files. So, you should finish your loop, then call this VI 4 times.
    Ans: How do I get it to extract the data from each of the 4 cases in my case structure?

    I'm not sure what you're asking; can you please clarify what you mean by "avoid using Memory Manager"? But anyway, you've actually initialized FIVE arrays: 1 outside the loop, and 1 inside each case.
    I've read that to avoid fluctuations in memory usage, it is a good idea to initialize arrays to their expected size before the start of data collection. That was just what I was trying to do.

  • Creating an array in a 'for' loop (resetting loop count)

    Hi,
    I am trying to integrate an acceleration signal coming from a CRIO analogue input to obtain the speed and then further integrate to get the displacement of a vibration system.
    I understand that in order to perform the integration, an array has to be fed in. My problem is that I could not buffer the signal in a buffer block as I couldn't find any buffer blocks. so I decided to create my an array of data using a 'for' loop. The 'for' loop nests inside a timed loop. The problem that I got stuck at is how to reset the 'for' loop in order to refill the buffer again at every iteration of the outer timed loop.
    I have attached the code if that helps. Note that I am using labview 2013.

    Dear Altenbach,
    Many thanks for your reply.
    I need to make it clear that I have not had enough hands-on with labview, I have only used it for sometime in the past and now I have to in order to perform some active damping on a 50Hz running machine. I must stress the fact that what i find more intuitive to do in a different programming language (matlab or C) is not as straightforward in labview. so please bear with me if my code has basic mistakes .
    All what i am trying to do is obtain the speed and position from an acclerometer signal. unfortunately i dont have a position sensor so i have to measure acceleration then perform time integrations in order to obtain the speed and position respectively. I am using a compact Rio (later in FPGA mode) to take physical measurements of acceleration from the vibratory machine and where i managed to do this bit successfully. when it came to performing the integration, i had to create an array inside my timed loop since i couldn't find a buffer block. I implemented a 'for' loop inside a timed loop in order to build the array. however i got stuck at resetting the count of the 'for' loop in order to refill the array with new values at every new iteration of the outer timed loop. unfortunately, even a sensible answer has been suggested before, i dont seem to have been capable of doing it yet. I really spent all my day trying to figure a way out but not achieved it yet, nevertheless I have learnt many many things by playing around.
    I would be gratefull if you could comment on a possible way of doing what i am trying to do.

    Can you attach your VI with some typical values? (e.g. create in indicator on the 2D array, run your VI, then turn the indicator (now containing data) into a diagram constant). Place the FOR loop related code and that diagram constant into a new VI and attach it here.
    How many times does the FOR loop run? Could it be that the last element of each 1D array is an empty string? (unless you put a wait inside the FOR loop, you'll never see the other elements in the probe)

  • Methods to build an array inside a For Loop.

    Let me introduce to you my nested For Loops:  
    They output a 2D boolean array depending on two 1D boolean arrays of different lengths.  This is all well and good however, in another part of my program, I want this to be a 1D array instead.
    Idea #1:
    "I'll just reshape the array at the end. Simples!"
    Idea #2:
    "Hang on, why am I using three primitives outside the loop when I can use just one inside it along with a shift register?"
    Idea #2.5:
    "Oh, wait... I remember reading somewhere about continuously building an array (with concatenate inputs) inside a loop being a bad thing and quite slow. Let me test this."
    Spoiler (Highlight to read)
    Idea #3:
    "Umm... okay, so actually the second way is faster.  I think if I initialize the shift register first then replace subsets of the array, that might also be better."
    Spoiler (Highlight to read)
    Idea #4:
    "Yep - seems much better. (Something to do with LabVIEW not having to constantly allocate more memory on every iteration of the loop)  Looking at this closer, I don't actually need the inner For Loop because of the way I'm handling the arrays.  Try again...!"
    Spoiler (Highlight to read)
    Conclusion(?) #1:
    "Well I seem to have arrived at something that looks messier, but executes about 6x faster than my initial idea. That said, the difference rapidly increases as the input arrays get much bigger (becoming orders of magnitude different)."
    Is this the most efficient way of doing what I want?  Or is there something even better (and works in LV 8.5)?
    Never say "Oops." Always say "Ah, interesting!"

    Thank you both for the feedback.  It never occurred for me to recheck the logic after I'd initially extracted the nested For Loops, but the AND gate output is obviously the same now that it's been pointed out!
    Continuing on with Idea #4, I replaced the Select with an AND then compared the times.  (also meant I didn't have to initialize one of the arrays anymore)
    Spoiler (Highlight to read)
    It appears that the AND gate was slower but then I tried with different sizes of initial arrays and in one case, the timings were 'reversed'.
    This only happened when the top array (the one that is fed into the AND gate whole) was reduced to a length in the region of 5 elements long.
    Spoiler (Highlight to read)
    Why does this happen?  Is it something to do with the AND gate possibly being optimised for single element operations so smaller arrays are handled better...?

    try experimenting with the reshape array feeding it your input array and re-sizing it to output a 2d aray. It is much faster than using a For loop becuase the data never gets moved and LV just changes the array dimensions and updates the stride.

    Hi,
    The best way to do what you want depends on what you want.  Start by describing what you need to do.  It's best to post some sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statments) and what results you want from that sample data.  (See the forum FAQ: https://forums.oracle.com/message/9362002)
    If you have ideas about how to do the job (e.g., populating a temporary table) it can be helpful to include those, too, but distinguish clearly between WHAT you need to do and HOW you might do it.
    As Bencol suggested, a SYS_REFCURSOR might be the best way to pass back the results.
    Since you didn't post your table, or even describe what you wanted to do with it, I'll illustrate using scott.emp, which is probably on your system.
    Say you wanted a procedure that took a DATE as an argument, and returned a some designated columns (empno, ename and hiredate in the example below) for all employees hired on or after the given DATE.  You might write a procedure like this:
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE  hired_since
    (   start_date  IN   DATE
    ,   out_data    OUT  SYS_REFCURSOR
    AS
    BEGIN
        OPEN out_data FOR
            SELECT  empno, ename, hiredate
            FROM    scott.emp
            WHERE   hiredate  >= start_date;
    END  hired_since;
    SHOW ERRORS
    You can test it in SQL*Plus like this:
    VARIABLE   c REFCURSOR
    EXEC  hired_since (DATE '1982-01-01', :c);
    PRINT :c
    The output I got from this test was:
         EMPNO ENAME      HIREDATE
          7788 SCOTT      19-APR-87
          7876 ADAMS      23-MAY-87
          7934 MILLER     23-JAN-82
