Passing n-dimensional array to sub-vi

Hello!
I need to pass a n-dimensional double array to a subvi, independently of
its sizes.
I don't want to use polymorphic vis, because this wouldn't be a solution, of course
(I CAN'T create "n" different vis if I don't know what n is ;-) )
How can I do?
Tnx!!

For any given dimension the size is not an issue. Maybe you mean "independent on the number of dimensions".
FIrst of all, I agree with Mike that sending the variable dimensional data to a subVI does not really help much, since you still need different code, one for each dimension.
What is a reasonable upper limit for the number of dimensions? I think the highest dimension I ever encountered was 4 or 5. A polymorphic VI for 1, 2, and 3 dimensions would probably be sufficient for almost everything, so a few polymorphic VIs should be sufficient.
Can you tell us a bit more about your application and why you think you need support for unlimited dimensions. What is the subVI supposed to do?

Want to pass 2D integer array from VB 6.0 to LabView (v 8.0) DLL

I was able to pass 1D arrays from VB 6.0 to LabView 8.0 with no problem. I checked the literature for help regarding 2D arrays and found
scant help unless it was for VB.NET, C or single dimensional arrays. Thanks.
I wrote a simple test VB program to pass 2D arrays shown below after which I get a memory crash:
Private Declare Sub Test2D Lib _
    "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\builds\Test2DArray\Test2DArray\Test2DArray.DLL" _
    Alias "Test2darray" (ByRef varInArray As Variant, ByRef varOutArray As Variant)
Private Sub cmdStart_Click()
    On Error GoTo handle_error
    Dim intInArray(8, 8) As Integer
    Dim intOutArray(8, 8) As Integer
    Dim varInArray As Variant, varOutArray As Variant
    Dim i As Long, j As Long, k As Integer
    For i = 0 To 7
        k = i * 8
        For j = 0 To 7
            intInArray(i, j) = k + j
        Next j
    Next i
    varInArray = intInArray
    varOutArray = intOutArray
    Test2D varInArray, varOutArray
    Exit Sub
handle_error:
    MsgBox Err.Description, , ""
End Sub
In the Labview DLL I have a definition of the exported function call as:
void Test2darray(TD1Hdl * InArray, TD1Hdl * OutArray)
(in the Labview DLL I take the input array, add 1 to each of the elements and then stuff it into the output)

jd162,
The following discussing forum may help out:Pass array to "Labview 7" DLL in Visual Basic . Let us know if this helps out at all.

Set number of elements in a two dimensional array

Hi,
Does anyone know how to set the number of elements in a two dimensional array directly in teststand.
To set a one dimsional array is simple:
SetNumElements( locals.somearray,4)
Is there a method to do this for a two dimensional array?
Sean

From the help file (TestStand 4.2.0):
PropertyObject.SetNumElements
SetNumElements Method
Syntax
PropertyObject.SetNumElements ( numElements, options = 0)
Purpose
Sets the number of elements of a single dimensional array.
Remarks
This method is only valid for single dimensional arrays. The elements in the array retain their values. Use the PropertyObjectType.ArrayDimensions property to set the number of elements in each dimension of a multi-dimensional array.
Parameters
numElements As Long
[In] New number of elements for the array.
options As Long
[In] Pass 0 to specify the default behavior, or pass one or more PropertyOptions constants. Use the bitwise-OR operator to specify multiple options.
This parameter has a default value of 0.
So you could use, for example: Locals.MultidimensionalArray.Type.ArrayDimensions.SetBounds({1,0},{3,4}) to set an array to have three dimensions (1,2,3), each with five elements (0,1,2,3,4).

Tri-Dimensional Array Alternatives

Hello:
I am looking for code example, structure or object that can be an alternative to a Tri-Dimensional array because I was facing memory (Out Of Memory Exception) problems when I declare and initialize a tri-dimensional array of doubles.
I already tried increasing the heap memory of the Virtual Machine, with the proper commands. That did not solve the problem.
Does Java has an alternative to Tri-Dimensional arrays?
Any help is appreciated.

If I am having problems just for a simple [2][2][3]
array... there must be another problem I don't know
yet.DING DING DING!!!!
Give that man an honorary sleuth card.
Yes, that's very weird.
It might be that something else is eating up almost all your memory, and this just happens to push it over the edge. does a single array of [12] or [20] or [50] do it? What else are you allocating before that?
It might be something weird with your Java installation. What version and platform?
It might be that when you execute "java" it's a shell script or batch file that ignores your -Xmx arg and passes its own smaller one to the actual java excutable.
It might be that you're not recompiling everything, or not deploying to where you think you are, and even when you're doing (or think you're doing) [2][2][3], there's some older code out there that's allocating much more.
It might be none of the above.

Passing a multidimensional array between 2 JSPs

I intend to pass a multidimensional string array from one JSP to another JSP.
I have been able to pass a single dimensional array as a hidden attribute at the first JSP and am retreiving it at the second JSP using request.getParameterValues("...").
But, request.getParameterValues("...") works fine only with one dimensional arrays..Is there a way to do something similar for 2 two dimensional array ???

You can only pass strings as parameters.
You you interpret those strings is entirely up to you.
request.getParameterValues() gets you an array of all the parameters with the same name. To have it "passed between jsps" you actually need to include them in the request parameters with each request.
You can always use session attributes to retain state at the server end. - session.getAttribute / session.setAttribute()
Or, seeing as you know you are dealing with a string, convert the array to a string, and back.
But you can't pass an actual "object" over parameters

How can I pass an empty array to a parameter of type PLSQLAssociativeArray

How can I pass an empty array to a parameter of type PLSQLAssociativeArray in VB? I defined the parameter like this
Dim myArray() as String = new String() {}
Dim myPara as new Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleCollectionType.PLSQLAssociativeArray
myPara = 0
myPara.Value = myArray
When I execute my stored procedure giving the above parameter, I got error saying OracleParameter.Value is invalid.
I have tried to give it the DBNull.Value, but it doesn't work either.
Note: everything works fine as long as myArray has some item in there. I just wonder how I can make it works in case I have nothing.
Thank you,

How can I (neatly) control mouse click events in a multi-dimensional array?

Hello everyone!
     I have a question regarding the use of mouse clicks events in a multi-dimensional array (or a "2D" array as we refer to them in Java and C++).
Background
     I have an array of objects each with a corresponding mouse click event. Each object is stored at a location ranging from [0][0] to [5][8] (hence a 9 x 6 grid) and has the specific column and row number associated with it as well (i.e. tile [2][4] has a row number of 2 and a column number of 4, even though it is on the third row, fifth column). Upon each mouse click, the tile that is selected is stored in a temporary array. The array is cleared if a tile is clicked that does not share a column or row value equal to, minus or plus 1 with the currently targeted tile (i.e. clicking tile [1][1] will clear the array if there aren't any tiles stored that have the row/column number
[0][0], [0][1], [0][2],
[1][0], [1][1], [1][2],
[2][0], [2][1], [2][2]
or any contiguous column/row with another tile stored in the array, meaning that the newly clicked tile only needs to be sharing a border with one of the tiles in the temp array but not necessarily with the last tile stored).
Question
     What is a clean, tidy way of programming this in AS3? Here are a couple portions of my code (although the mouse click event isn't finished/working correctly):
public function tileClick(e:MouseEvent):void
   var tile:Object = e.currentTarget;
   tileSelect.push(uint(tile.currentFrameLabel));
   selectArr.push(tile);
   if (tile.select.visible == false)
    tile.select.visible = true;
   else
    tile.select.visible = false;
   for (var i:uint = 0; i < selectArr.length; i++)
    if ((tile.rowN == selectArr[i].rowN - 1) ||
     (tile.rowN == selectArr[i].rowN) ||
     (tile.rowN == selectArr[i].rowN + 1))
     if ((tile.colN == selectArr[i].colN - 1) ||
     (tile.colN == selectArr[i].colN) ||
     (tile.colN == selectArr[i].colN + 1))
      trace("jackpot!" + i);
    else
     for (var ii:uint = 0; ii < 1; ii++)
      for (var iii:uint = 0; iii < selectArr.length; iii++)
       selectArr[iii].select.visible = false;
      selectArr = [];
      trace("Err!");

Andrei1,
     So are you saying that if I, rather than assigning a uint to the column and row number for each tile, just assigned a string to each one in the form "#_#" then I could actually just assign the "adjacent" array directly to it instead of using a generic object to hold those values? In this case, my click event would simply check the indexes, one at a time, of all tiles currently stored in my "selectArr" array against the column/row string in the currently selected tile. Am I correct so far? If I am then let's say that "selectArr" is currently holding five tile coordinates (the user has clicked on five adjacent tiles thus far) and a sixth one is being evaluated now:
Current "selectArr" values:
       1_0
       1_1, 2_1, 3_1
              2_2
New tile clicked:
       1_0
       1_1, 2_1, 3_1
              2_2
              2_3
Coordinate search:
       1_-1
0_0, 1_0, 2_0, 3_0
0_1, 1_1, 2_1, 3_1, 4_1
       1_2, 2_2, 3_2
              2_3
     Essentially what is happening here is that the new tile is checking all four coordinates/indexes belonging to each of the five tiles stored in the "selectArr" array as it tries to find a match for one of its own (which it does for the tile at coordinate 2_2). Thus the new tile at coordinate 2_3 would be marked as valid and added to the "selectArr" array as we wait for the next tile to be clicked and validated. Is this correct?

How can I use two single-dimensional arrays-one for the titles and array

I want to Use two single-dimensional arrays-one for the titles and one for the ID
Could everyone help me how can i write the code for it?
Flower
public class Video
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
int[][] ID =
{ {145,147,148},
{146,149, 150} };
String[][] Titles=
{ {"Barney","True Grit","The night before Christmas"},
{"Lalla", "Jacke Chan", "Metal"} };
int x, y;
int r, c;
System.out.println("List before Sort");
for(c =0; c< 3; ++c)
for(r=0; r< 3; ++ r)
System.out.println("ID:" + ID[c][r]+ "\tTitle: " + Titles[c][r]);
System.out.println("\nAfter Sort:");
for(c =0; c< 3; ++c)
for(r=0; r< 3; ++ r)
System.out.println("ID:" + ID[c][r]+ "\tTitle: " + Titles[c][r]);

This is one of the most bizarre questions I have seen here:
public class Video
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
int[] ID = {145,147,148, 146,149, 150};
String[] Titles= {"Barney","True Grit","The night before Christmas", "Lalla", "Jacke Chan", "Metal"};
System.out.println("List before Sort");
for(int i = 0; i < Titles.length; i++)
System.out.println("ID:" + ID[i]+ "\tTitle: " + Titles);
System.out.println("\nAfter Sort:");
for(int i = 0; c < Titles.length; i++)
System.out.println("ID:" + ID[i]+ "\tTitle: " + Titles[i]);
Generally you don't use prefix (++c) operators in you for loop. Use postfix (c++).
Prefix means that it will increment the variable before the loop body is executed. Postfix will cause it to increment after.

Assigning values to 2D Multi-Dimensional arrays ??

How do I assign a value to a Multi-dimensional 2D Array,
that has the righter array size omitted as it changes�.
Code�
SomeObj foobar = new SomeObj (first, second);
SomeObj [ ] [ ] d2D = new SomeObj [10] [ ];
d2D [0][0] = foobar;     //Causes a null pointer exception�
NB: seems if I initiate �d2D = new SomeObj [10] [10];� with the righter array size initiated then the error doesn�t occur, but because of the nature of the data the size of each secondary array varies�
Thx. Kharsim

apparently not...
from what i read up on Multi-Dimensional arrays, you only have to give a value to the leftest bracket...
e.g.
int [ 5 ] [     ] [     ] <~ Acceptable in Java
int [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [     ] <~ Acceptable in Java
int [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 24 ] <~ Acceptable in Java
int [ 5 ] [     ] [ 24 ] <~ Not acceptable in Java
so using arrays it should be possible to assign a value in either of the acceptable cases, but couldnt find a source that had such an example...

Populating ADF Table from Multi-Dimensional Array

Hello!
I'm trying to populate an ADF table from a multi-dimensional array.
Let's say that my array is
String [] [] myArr = new String [3][5].
On my page backing bean, I have a private attribute called tmpArr like this...
String [] [] tmpArr;
...which I will initialize later after I know the proper dimensions. The dimensions will come from a multimap that contains a key and and another array (for the key's value) containing values for the key. So once I know the dimensions I initialize my array with...
tmpArr = new String [x][y] where x and y are the dimensions (counters).
Now I have my multidimension array. On an jsp page I have an ADF table, and I'm setting the value for the table to the array (the table's value property is bound to the backing bean's tmpArr attribure).
Like so:
<af:panelForm id="availableOptions"
binding="#{myBackingBean.availableOptionsValues}">
<af:table emptyText="No items were found" rows="10"
value="#{myBackingBean.tmpArr}" var='myArr'>
Now I need to know how to do the following:
1) Set the table's columns based on the number of attributes on the array.
2) Set the table's rows based on the array's length.
3) Set each table cell value to values on the array's 2nd dimension. I'm assuming that ADF takes care iterating through the array, and that I should do something like...
<af:outputText value="#{myArr[][0]}"/>
<af:outputText value="#{myArr[][1]}"/>
etc...
However, this isn't working...
javax.faces.el.ReferenceSyntaxException: myArr[][0]
...bla bla bla...
Was expecting one of:
<INTEGER_LITERAL> ...
<FLOATING_POINT_LITERAL> ...
<STRING_LITERAL> ...
"true" ...
"false" ...
"null" ...
"not" ...
"empty" ...
<IDENTIFIER> ...
Is there a blog or resource (article, book, etc) that shows how this is done? Anyone has done this and would like to share how?
Thank you.

This is in fact possible. I'm not sure about the "best practice" around doing this but there is a couple of ways to do this.
You can either create a managed bean then right click on it and use the wizard to create a data control or you can do it as per below
The a table will convert an array into a collection.
Once you have created an array and generated the accessors in a bean you can then reference the mutli-dimensional array from a table as per below.
<af:table value="#{pageFlowScope.PageBean.sessionArr}" var="row" rowBandingInterval="0" id="t1" varStatus="status">
<af:column sortable="false" headerText="col1" id="c1">
<af:outputText value="#{pageFlowScope.PageBean.sessionArr[status.index][0]}" id="ot1"/>
</af:column>
</af:table>
String [][] sessionArr = new String[5][2];
public void setSessionArr(String[][] sessionArr) {
this.sessionArr = sessionArr;
public String[][] getSessionArr() {
sessionArr[0][0]="rice";
sessionArr[1][0]="water";
return sessionArr;
EDIT: For either of the above methods the managed bean must have a scope of pageFlow or longer.
Cheers,
Aaron

How to pass value in array to another procedure?

Hello.
I have created application by Developer form9i.
And I have some problem about passing value in array to another procedure.
My code is :
PROCEDURE p_add_array (col_no in number,
col_val in varchar2) IS
type xrecord is record(col number,vcol varchar2(1000));
xrec xrecord;
type varraytype is varying array(42) of xrecord;
xvartab varraytype := varraytype();
alert number;
BEGIN
set_application_property(cursor_style,'busy');
xrec.col := col_no;
xrec.vcol := col_val;
xvartab.extend(1);
xvartab(col) := xrec;
EXCEPTION
when others then
set_application_property(cursor_style,'default');
alert := f_show_alert('!Error ORA-'||
to_char(DBMS_ERROR_CODE)||' '||
substr(DBMS_ERROR_TEXT,1,240),
'al_stop');
END;
And I want to have
PROCEDURE p_print_arrey is
BEGIN
END;
So how to bring value of xvartab( ) in p_add_array to use in p_print_array?
Anybody please help me solve this ploblem.

Hi,
Instead of declaring the array locally within the procedure (i.e. p_add_array), define it in the package specification (i.e. Under Program Units).

The only errors I see are probably due to how you chose to post it. For example, there is no RETURN or END statement in execute_tests.
Did you create the type before trying to use it in the function?
What is DEV_SWA30PRE? Is that a schema? Does that schema also contain the fucntion? Is that who is running the anonymous block? If there are other schemas involved, what are they? What are they doing? What privileges do they have on the type or the function?
Post a complete test script that people can run to re-create the problem and test their ideas.

Best practice in JSTL with multi-dimensional arrays

Hi,
I'm working in a project and I'm trying to convert some code into JSTL way, I have a first.jsp that calls addField(String, String) from fieldControl.jsp:
(first.jsp)
<%@page contentType="text/html"%>
<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@ include file="fieldControl.jsp" %>
<html>
<head><title>JSP Page</title></head>
<body>
<%! String[][] list1;
%>
<%
list1 = new String[2][2];
list1[0][0]="first_1";
list1[0][1]="first_2";
list1[1][0]="second_1";
list1[1][1]="second_2";
for (int i=0;i<list1.length;i++){
String html;
html = addField (list1[0], list1[i][1]);
out.println(html);
%>
</body>
</html>
(fieldControl.jsp)
<%@page contentType="text/html"%>
<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@ page language="java" %>
<%! public void addField(String name,String label)
return ...
Now for JSTL I've this example from "JSTL pratical guide for JSP programmers" Sue Spielman:
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>

<body>
<%-- Create a HashMap so we can add some values to it --%>

<br>
<br>
</c:forEach>
</body>
</html>
and my problem is :
1st - how to use the multi-dimensional array in this way (<jsp:useBean id="hash" class="java.util.HashMap" />) ? because if I use it like this
<% String[][] list1;
list1 = new String[2][2];
list1[0][0]="first_1";
list1[0][1]="first_1";
list1[1][0]="second_1";
list1[1][1]="second_2";%>
<c:out value="${list1}" />
<c:out value="${list1.lenght}" />
I get nothing,
also tryed <c:set var="test" value="<%=list1.length%>" /> and got "According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute value does not accept any expressions"
2nd hot to make the call to the method addField?
Thanks for any help, I really want to make this project using JSTL, PV

When you are using JSTL, it is best to not put data inside the JSP. Put it inside JavaBeans. Then make calles to the methods in those JavaBeans.
So you should get used to JavaBeans and their requirenments.
Access JavaBeans only through 2 types of methods: getters and setters.
Getters are used to "get" values (properties) from the bean, and always have the form
public Type getPropertyName(void)
That is, they are public, return some value, start with the exact string "get" end with the name of the property (first letter of the property name capitalized) and have a void (empty) argument list.
For example, this is a good signature to get HTML from a bean:
public String getHtml()
Setters are used to assign values to a bean. They always have the form
public void setPropertyName(Type value)
That is, they are public, do not return anything, start with the string "set", end with the name of the property (first letter capitalized), and take a SINGLE parameter.
public void setHtml(String value)
Also, JavaBeans must have a no argument constructor and need to be Serializable.
The way I would approach this would be to create a JavaBean that holds the two dim array for you, and has a getter that returns a list of all the formatted html.
package mypack;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class DataFormatterBean implement java.io.Serializable {
private String[][] list;
public DataFormatterBean() {
    list = new String[2][2];
    list[0][0]="first_1";
    list[0][1]="first_2";
    list[1][0]="second_1";
    list[1][1]="second_2";
public List getHtml() {
    List outputHtml = new ArrayList(list.length);
    for (int i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
      String html = addField(list[0], list[i][1]);
outputHtml.add(html);
return outputHtml;
private addField(String a, String b) { .. do work .. }
Then, the JSP would look like this:
<jsp:useBean id="dataFormatter" class="mypack.DataFormatterBean"/>
<c:forEach var="htmlString" items="${dataFormatter.html}">
<c:out value="${htmlString}"/>
</c:forEach>Once you start thinking in terms of having JavaBeans do your work for you JSTL is so much easier... and it gets even easier when you start to delve into custom tags.

        String split[]=line.split(",");
catch (IOException x) {
    System.err.println(x);
} finally {
    if (in != null) in.close();
}}}What after this?
