Passing parameter to Function in select clause BIP 11g

Hi,
I am developing a dataset where i ahave to pass Parameter to a function which retrives the cursor in BIP 11g
below is the SQL:
select cizcompfn(:P_USER_ID) COMPANY_INFO,
cizinstfn(:P_REPORT_CD, :P_USER_ID) CURRENCY_INFO,
sysdate AS PRINT_DATE_TIME_INFO,
cizlballfn(:P_REPORT_CD, :P_USER_ID) LABEL_INFO,
cipacsvpfn(:P_USER_ID, to_char(:P_FROM_DT,'yyyy-MM-dd') ,
to_char(:P_TO_DT, 'yyyy-MM-dd')) RETURN_CODE_INFO, rpt_option_val SERVER
FROM ci_rpt_option where rpt_opt_flg = 'RPSV'
I have created the 4 parameters :P_USER_ID, :P_REPORT_CD , :P_FROM_DT and :P_TO_DT
I am not getting the result generated.
If develop the dataset in BIP 10g, this working fine.
Please, let me know what needs to changed so that it works in BIP11g.
Regards,
Hemanth

I am getting the result like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- 
- <DATA_DS>
<P_TO_DT>2010-01-01T00:00:00.000-05:00</P_TO_DT>
<P_FROM_DT>2000-01-01T00:00:00.000-05:00</P_FROM_DT>
<P_REPORT_CD>CI_ACSVPR</P_REPORT_CD>
<P_USER_ID>CDX</P_USER_ID>
- <G_1>
<PRINT_DATE_TIME_INFO>2012-05-11T07:22:57.000-04:00</PRINT_DATE_TIME_INFO>
<SERVER>http://server-name:port-number</SERVER>
</G_1>
</DATA_DS>
Value for two columns:
sysdate AS PRINT_DATE_TIME_INFO
rpt_option_val SERVER
which are straight forward columns.
When i pass hardcoded values instaed of parameters I get the XML:
Below is the SQL:
select cizcompfn('CDX') COMPANY_INFO, cizinstfn('CI_ACSVPR', 'CDX') CURRENCY_INFO, sysdate AS PRINT_DATE_TIME_INFO,
cizlballfn('CI_ACSVPR', 'CDX') LABEL_INFO,
cipacsvpfn('cdx', to_char('05-may-1900') ,to_char( '05-may-2012')) RETURN_CODE_INFO,
rpt_option_val SERVER from ci_rpt_option where rpt_opt_flg = 'RPSV'

How to pass parameter in Function by using select statement?

Hi,
I got a problem. I cant pass in parameter to function by using select statement. But it can pass in parameter by using 'hardcode' method. How can I solve this problem?
Eg,
select * from table (SplitFunction('HS750020,HS750021')) <<< this work.
but
select * from table (SplitFunction(select LOT_NO from TRACER_SEARCH_SCHEDULE where JOB_ID = '36')) <<< do not work.
Thanks for who try to help. Thanks.

How to pass parameters to function in where clause....

I have a select statement like this
SELECT XX_AIR_TICKET_EMP_BAL(:P2) from dual
is it possible to pass to variable p2 from where clause
like
SELECT XX_AIR_TICKET_EMP_BAL(:P2) from dual
where :p2 = :p1
user can enter only in p1 so that p2 should get passed.
Reson for this wierd requirement:In Oracle apps i cant use bind variable in select clause value set..? please ignore this reason if u are not in oracle apps...
Tell me the solution..
Is there any way...
setting some env variavle aor anything

SELECT XX_AIR_TICKET_EMP_BAL(:P2) from dualWhy a SELECT statement? This calls the SQL engine. The function is PL/SQL. This now needs the SQL engine to context switch to the PL engine. The PL engine runs and returns a value (across memory boundaries) to the SQL engine. The SQL engine now needs to return that value as part of the output from a SQL cursor.
Why do all this? Surely it is a lot easier and better for performance to call the PL engine directly using an anonymous PL block. E.g.
begin
:P3 := XX_AIR_TICKET_EMP_BAL(:P2);
end;
is it possible to pass to variable p2 from where clause
like
SELECT XX_AIR_TICKET_EMP_BAL(:P2) from dual
where :p2 = :p1Why?
This can be done as part of the PL block as follows:
begin
if :P2 = :P1 then
    :P3 := XX_AIR_TICKET_EMP_BAL(:P2);
end if;
end;But then why construct conditional statements dynamically?
It would be a lot easier to have a new function that does the condition, e.g.
create or replace function getAirTicket( p1 number, p2 number ) return number is
begin
if p1 = p2 then
    return( XX_AIR_TICKET_EMP_BAL(p2) );
else
   return( null );
end if;
end;

Passing parameter in function module

hi friends,
I have created one function module in which i need to pass PO/SO number from standard EKKO/VBAK tables through the select option parameter S_POSONO. Inside the function module I have a select query which fetches the records from a Z-table which has a field called 'REFERENCE' which is 16-char long. Hence the length mismatches with PO/SO no which is 10-char long. the first 10-char from 'REFERENCE' is PO/SO number, next 3-char is line-item num, and the last three char is schedule item num. It is required to match only first 10-char with the parameter passed i.e, S_POSONO and display only those datas.
The function module is as follows.....
Function :
CALL FUNCTION 'YFIIN_RETRIEVE_SOURCE_DATA'
EXPORTING
   LT_RANGE_BUKRS          = S_BUKRS[]
   LT_RANGE_DOCNO          = S_POSONO[]

Hi Ram Tej,
Try this.
First Read all the records without Checking REFERENCE field with LT_RANGE_DOCNO into an internal Tbale.
Then looping at that internal table delete records from the same internal table where REFERENCE(10) <> LT_RANGE_DOCNO.
Hope this may help ur requirement.

How to use a function in select clause

hi gems...good evening...
I want to write a select clause from a function. The scenario is like below:
function parameters

Hi ,
You can check this and change your code by taking this as an example. I just noted down with simple one input and return as collection type

Passing parameter to function

Hi All
I created a custom folder in a business area through discoverer administrator. In this folder one column is returned by
the funtion.
I am passing three parameters parameter1, parameter2, parameter3 to this funtion these 3 parameters are used
in an sql where clause in the function.
I would like to pass the 4th parameter to the function this parameter is input by the user while running the discoverer
report from discoverer desktop. Is there any way that I can pass the user parameter value to the function, or any
alternative solution for this problem.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Ali

Hi Ali
You create the function in teh database and then grant the appropriate Discoverer roles or account execute permission over the function. You also need to make sure that the Discoverer Administrator has this privilege too.
With the function created you bring it into Discoverer. Here's a workflow:
1. Log in as the administrator to Discoverer Administrator
2. Select Tools | Register PL/SQL Functions to open the PL/SQL Functions dialog box
3. With the dialog box open, click the Import button
4. In the Import PL/SQL Functions box, type the name name of the user that owns the function and then click the Go button - Discoverer will now display a list of the functions.
5. Highlight the one you want and then click the OK button.
6. Back in the main box, click the Validate button to make sure Discoverer is able to use it
7. Once validated, click the OK button to complete the import and close the box
With the function imported it will now appear in Plus in the Database folder of funxtions when creating a calculation.
Best wishes

Passing Parameter to Function - ORA-00904

Hi - I wonder if anyone can help with this problem please?
I have developed a function, which works fine, returning a collection as a table. It takes a single parameter, the numeric userid. I've put a report on the page, and hardcoded the userid during testing:
SELECT rec_id, period_id, proj_id, proj_name, hrs_last_week, hrs_this_week
FROM TABLE (SELECT tr_return_user_times(364) AS TR_USERTIMES_TAB
FROM DUAL)
This works great, and shows the data perfectly. So the next step, was to set up a variable to hold the userid of the person within the application. I've an application item named F155_USERID. If I display this on the page, I am happy that the value is as expected. However, when I put the variable into the function call, it won't parse:
SELECT rec_id, period_id, proj_id, proj_name, hrs_last_week, hrs_this_week
FROM TABLE (SELECT tr_return_user_times(:F155_USERID) AS TR_USERTIMES_TAB FROM DUAL)
now gets the error:
Query cannot be parsed within the Builder. If you believe your query is syntactically correct, check the ''generic columns'' checkbox below the region source to proceed without parsing.
If I switch to use generic columns, and run the debug, the item does substitute ok, (i.e. 0.04: binding: ":F155_USERID"="F155_USERID" value="364")
but I get
report error: ORA-00904: "TR_RETURN_USER_TIMES": invalid identifier
If I run the command in TOAD, and put in the same value (364) when prompted for the variable substitution, again, it works fine. This has to be something really simple, but it's cost me a few hours now - I am tearing my hair out (and at my age there's no guarantee it will grow back). Any help appreciated!

Found it!
Denes Kubicek is a god. Found a note on his blog. (http://www.deneskubicek.blogspot.com/)
The answer is
v('F155_USERID')

Passing parameter to function on stage from symbol

I have a symbol on the stage: symbol1
Inside symbol1 I have an image: symbol1_image1
I have another symbol on the stage: symbol2
Inside symbol2 I have an image: symbol2_image2
in composition.ready I have an action on the mouseout for symbol1:
var theTarget = sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol('symbol2').$('symbol2_image2');
sym.getComposition().getStage().doMouseoutGS(theTarget);
In composition.ready i have the following function defined
sym.doMouseout = function (colorTile){
sym.$(colorTile.show());
I cannot get this to work and I am not understanding why.
If I do an alert on the mouseout function for
alert($(colorTile).attr("id"));
I get the correct referenc to the element I want to show but it does not actually happen

Hi Marlene,
As I already mentionned in a preceding reply in another of your threads, you should use the event object e that gives you access to the target (e.target), without the need to explicitly build a theTarget variable.
For example, say you want to factorize in a symbol (stage) function the rollover behavior shared by a certain number of buttons :
• btn<i>.mouseover
sym.getComposition().getStage().globalFunction( e);
• document.compositionReady
sym.globalFunction = function( eBtn)
console.log( eBtn.target.getAttribute(“id“));
Then, using Firebug or Chrome dev. tools, you'll see in the console the id of each of the buttons you hover over.

How to pass parameter to function when confirm(Alert.show) closed?

Alert.show("yes "+guid); //<-- here I want to get guid
else if (event.detail == Alert.NO){
Alert.show("no ");
return;
]]>
Thanks.

Hi Itambs,
You can do the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" creationComplete="deleteItem('Dummy GUID VALUE')">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
   import mx.controls.*;
   import mx.events.*;
   private var myAlert:Alert;
   private function deleteItem(guid:String):void
    myAlert = Alert.show("Are sure you want to delete?", "Confirm Delete", Alert.YES|Alert.NO, this, alertClicked);
    myAlert.data = guid;
    myAlert.height = 150;
                myAlert.width = 300;
   private function alertClicked(event:CloseEvent):void{
    if(event.detail == Alert.YES) {
       //Alert.show("yes "+guid); //<-- here I want to get guid
       Alert.show("yes "+ myAlert.data);
    else if (event.detail == Alert.NO){
       Alert.show("no ");
       return;
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>
Note: you can also do this in another way by decalring a global variable guid as ...... private var _guid:String="";
set _guid = guid; in deleteItem() function and then in alertClicked() function you can access the value as _guid again...which holds the saved value...
If this post answers your question or helps, please kindly mark it as such.

Passing parameter into select statement by using function in discoverer

I have created two functions in database named Period_in and Period_out and a global variable g_period_name
I have called Period_out function in VIEW(Select statement where condition).
I have registered Period_in function in discoverer admin then created calculation (called Period_in(:input parameter))in discoverer plus.
My expectation is user will enter period name and that will hit Period_in function and returns 1 and stores entered period name in g_period_name at runtime. then VIEW will executed and fetches data.
But i am getting no data found.
Problem is 2 functions running at the same time in select statement. Please help me to overcome this. Thanks in advance
FUNCTION period_in (p_period VARCHAR2)
      RETURN NUMBER
   AS
   BEGIN
      g_period_name := p_period;
      RETURN 1;
   END period_in;
   FUNCTION period_out
      RETURN VARCHAR2
   AS
   BEGIN
      RETURN g_period_name;
   END period_out;

You can use this code:
WITH cte
AS ( SELECT EmpID ,
EmpName ,
[dbo].[udf_testFunction](EmpID) AS testfunctionvalue
FROM #Temp
SELECT EmpID ,
EmpName ,
testfunctionvalue ,
testfunctionvalue * EmpID ,
testfunctionvalue + 2
FROM cte

Something like
select EmpID,EmpName, testfunctionvalue,testfunctionvalue*EmpID,testfunctionvalue+2 from #Temp

Is passing parameter to ORDER BY clause possible?

I'm using a function to return a ref cursor and currently pass a parameter without any problems. I would like to change the sort on the fly by passing a parameter to the order by clause, but Oracle ignores it.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE pkg_agent_appt_status AS
TYPE rcur IS REF CURSOR;
FUNCTION f_agent_appt_status (ssn IN VARCHAR2, sort_str IN VARCHAR2) RETURN rcur;
END pkg_agent_appt_status;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY pkg_agent_appt_status AS
FUNCTION f_agent_appt_status (ssn IN VARCHAR2, sort_str IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN rcur
IS
retval rcur;
BEGIN
OPEN retval FOR
SELECT agncy.CORPORATE_NAME "Agency Name",
agnt_state.APPT_STATE "State",
agnt.AGENT_STATUS "Appt Status",
TO_CHAR(agnt_state.APPT_STATE_EFF_DT,'mm/dd/yyyy') "Effective Date",
agnt.AGENT_NUMBER "Agent ID",
agnt.AGENT_STATUS "Agent Status",
STATE.STATE_NAME
FROM AGNT_APPT_STAT_PRDCR_WRK agnt,
AGNT_APPT_STAT_WRK agncy,
AGNT_APPT_STATE_STAT_PRDCR_WRK agnt_state,
STATE
WHERE agnt.AGENT_TAX_ID = ssn
AND agnt.COMPANY_CODE = agncy.COMPANY_CODE
AND agnt.PARENT_AGENT_AGENCY_ID = agncy.AGENT_NUMBER
AND agnt.COMPANY_CODE = agnt_state.COMPANY_CODE
AND agnt.AGENT_AGENCY_ID = agnt_state.AGENT_AGENCY_ID
AND agnt.AGENT_NUMBER = agnt_state.AGENT_NUMBER
AND agnt_state.APPT_STATE = STATE.STATE_CODE
ORDER BY
sort_str;
RETURN retval;
END f_agent_appt_status;
END pkg_agent_appt_status;

This is quite easy, as you are already using a REF CURSOR. Instead of
OPEN retval FOR
SELECT ...
ORDER BY sort_str;we can code this:
OPEN retval FOR
'SELECT ...
ORDER BY '|| sort_str;Watch out for the single quotes in your query e.g. the date format mask: you need to wrap these in an additional set of single quotes i.e. 'mm/dd/yyyy' becomes ''mm/dd/yyyy''.

Pass table name as a parameter to function

Is there a way to pass table name as a parameter to functions? Then update the table in the function.
Thanks a lot.
Jiaxin

Hi, Harm,
Thank you very much for your suggestion and example. But to get my program work, i need to realise code like follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION delstu_func(stuno char) RETURN NUMBER AS
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DELETE FROM student s' ||
'WHERE' || 's.student_number' || '=' || stuno;
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('record deleted');
END LOOP;
END;
SELECT delstu_func('s11') FROM STUDENT;
