PL/SQL Procedure Parameters PROBLEM

Here's my problem:
When we describe the successfully compiled PL/SQL packaged procedures in SQL*Plus, the parameter order seems reversed. For instance, my PL/SQL source looks like this:
Create Package pkg1...
Procedure func1 (param1 in varchar2,
param2 in number) is
...function body...
end func1;
end pkg1;
After it is successfully compiled in SQL*Plus, when I describe it using the desc command, it shows:
PROCEDURE FUNC1
Argument Name Type ......
PARAM2 VARCHAR2
PARAM1 VARCHAF2
This problem occurs occasionally, if we recompile the source, it goes away. We couldn't quite tell when and how this happens. When the problem occurs, we checked the ALL_SOURCE view and verified that the parameters are in the right order.
We use the Merant Drivers for our client side interfaces and whenever we have this problem on the db server, we get the "wrong number of types or parameters" error.
Any clues, hints, solutions are greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
On a different note, I couldn't find the appropriate forum to post this PL/SQL specific message, wondering why there isn't a PL/SQL forum.

Hi Yegneshwar
Can U tell me how to invoke the procedure ? If all it can be invoked the post it or mail me and then I might help U out.
Thank U.

FND_REQUEST PL/SQL procedure with parameters

Hi guys
I have created a concurrent program, using PL/SQL procedure which has 2 in parameters. I am trying to call the concurrent program using
v_req_id :=FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('INV','OMS_POP_INVVALUES_P',
NULL,SYSDATE,FALSE,l_on_date, l_org_id,
NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,
NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,

NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,
NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,
NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL
COMMIT;
However, the concurrent program always failing with
**Starts**26-AUG-2013 14:02:31 ORACLE error 6550 in FDPSTP Cause: FDPSTP failed due to ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'OMS_POP_INVVALUES_P' ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: Statement ignored
and I doubt it is because the database procedure call is not proper.
I have set four parameters with the concurrent program, as they were with the procedure itself, which are
p_on_date IN DATE, p_org_id IN NUMBER, errbuff   OUT VARCHAR2,retcode   OUT VARCHAR2
Please help
regards,
raj

Okay I fixed the problem by
1. Changing the order of parameters with Procedure like following
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE OMS_POP_INVVALUES_P (
errbuff   OUT VARCHAR2,retcode   OUT NUMBER, p_on_date IN DATE, p_org_id IN NUMBER)
IS
and then changing the concurrent program call like following
l_req_id :=
      fnd_request.submit_request('INV','OMS_POP_INVVALUES_P',
                                                                    NULL,SYSDATE,FALSE,l_in_date, l_org_id,CHR(0));
   :SYSTEM.Message_Level := '25';
   COMMIT;
after removing all the parameters from the program parameter list. No need to pass any value for errbuff and retcode, just pass other parameters and end the parameter list with CHR(0). Hope this is useful for somebody else out there.

Registering PL/SQL procedure in APPS with optional parameters

I want to register a PL/SQL procedure as follows in Oracle APPS.
Problem:
The procedure is to pick up employee details from a table.I need to pass empno as the parameter(or as an input) to the procedure.I want this parameter registered as an optional parameter. This means if I input a value to this parameter, then the procedure will pick up employee details for that empno. If I do not pass any value to this parameter, then procedure will pick employee details for all employees.
Also how can pass two optional parameters to pick employee details for a range of employee numbers?
Thanks

How are you calling your PL/SQL procedure and how are you planning on returning your results?
You don't actually need to have an optional parameter - you could simply pass a NULL value for the EmpNo parameter. If you do want to not reference the parameter at all you can provide a default in the parameter definition.
Assuming that you want to return your results as a cursor, you could do something like:
FUNCTION GetEmpDetails ( EmpNo_i IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL ) RETURN SYS_REFCURSOR;

How to pass multiple parameters while calling a pl/sql procedure based serv

Hi,
I have a pl/sql procedure based service that needs to be invoked from the bpel console for testing purpose. This procedure accepts multiple input values which are of varchar2,boolean and datetime data types. How can I get the bpel console to throw a UI where I can enter these values --in other words where(which file and where) can I specify that these are the input parameters that need to be entered along with their types.
Thanks for yr help!

Change the payload of the request 'Process WSDL' message type. Change the element of the payload for the RequestMessage to be 'InputParameters' from the XSD generated by the DB Adapter wizard.
Edit the payload (Element) - Choose 'Project Schema Files'. Select 'InputParameters' from the XSD.
You can also change the ResponseMessage by doing the same thing, except that you select 'OutputParameters' from the XSD.

Parameters to pl/sql procedure on item?

OK, it seems like this should be obvious, but I'm not getting it...
I've created a custom Item type with a PL/SQL procedure. I've defined the procedure to accept the item id and site id as parameters. When the user clicks on the procedure link, the request URL looks like this:
http://je2975/pls/portalj/HMSY_PORTAL.VIEW_CRYSTAL_REPORT?caid=135&id=3818
What should the 'VIEW_CRYSTAL_REPORT' procedure look like in order to read those parameters?
Are they parameters to the procedure in the typical PL/SQL sense? Do I need to get them from wwpro_api_parameters? If so, where do I find the reference path?
Thanks!
null

I've even tried this now without any parameters, and there seems to be something even more basic that I'm missing.
I have the procedure published, with no paramters, I added the missing schema prefix, so the URL now looks like:
http://je2975/pls/portalj/PORTALJ.HMSY_PORTAL.VIEW_CRYSTAL_REPORT
But I'm still getting a 404 file not found.
What am I missing?
Thanks again...

PL/SQL Procedure Calling Java Host Command Problem

This is my first post to this forum so I hope I have chosen the correct one for my problem. I have copied a java procedure to call Unix OS commands from within a PL/SQL procedure. This java works well for some OS commands (Eg ls -la) however it fails when I call others (eg env). Can anyone please give me some help or pointers?
The java is owned by sys and it looks like this
CREATE OR REPLACE AND COMPILE JAVA SOURCE NAMED "ExecCmd" AS
//ExecCmd.java
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
//import java.util.ArrayList;
public class ExecCmd {
static public String[] runCommand(String cmd)
throws IOException {
// set up list to capture command output lines
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
// start command running
System.out.println("OS Command is: "+cmd);
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
// get command's output stream and
// put a buffered reader input stream on it
InputStream istr = proc.getInputStream();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(istr));
// read output lines from command
String str;
while ((str = br.readLine()) != null)
list.add(str);
// wait for command to terminate
try {
proc.waitFor();
catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.err.println("process was interrupted");
// check its exit value
if (proc.exitValue() != 0)
System.err.println("exit value was non-zero: "+proc.exitValue());
// close stream
br.close();
// return list of strings to caller
return (String[])list.toArray(new String[0]);
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
try {
// run a command
String outlist[] = runCommand(args[0]);
for (int i = 0; i < outlist.length; i++)
System.out.println(outlist);
catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println(e);
The PL/SQL looks like so:
CREATE or REPLACE PROCEDURE RunExecCmd(Command IN STRING) AS
LANGUAGE JAVA NAME 'ExecCmd.main(java.lang.String[])';
I have granted the following permissions to a user who wishes to run the code:
drop public synonym RunExecCmd
create public synonym RunExecCmd for RunExecCmd

Both commands do work when called from the OS command line.
Any help or assistance would be really appreciated.

Kamal,
Thanks for that. I have tried to use getErrorStream and it does give me more info. It appears that some of the commands cannot be found. I suspected that this was the case but I am not sure about how this can be as they all appear to reside in the same directory with the same permissions.
What is more confusing is output like so:
SQL> Set Serverout On size 1000000;
SQL> call dbms_java.set_output(1000000);
Call completed.
SQL> execute RunExecCmd('/usr/bin/id');
OS Command is: /usr/bin/id
exit value was non-zero: 1

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> execute RunExecCmd('/usr/bin/which id');
OS Command is: /usr/bin/which id
/usr/bin/id
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Can some selection conditions as PL/SQL procedure input parameters

Dear All,
I need to write a PL/SQL procedure so as to compute the different query only by changing the input parameters. But those input parameters need to be like a PL/SQL table selection conditions. Like:
one of the query I need two conditions:
customers.zip = 60606
customers.zip = employees.zipMy procedure can compute the query like:
select customers.cno, cname, employees.eno, ename
from customers, orders, employees
where customers.cno = orders.cno and
      employees.eno = orders.eno and
      C;
where C is the conjunction of the conditions in the input parameter.
Please help and thanks in advance!

Well, it's easy enough to do what you want....

SQL> The real question is: do you really want to do this? Fundamentally you are handing over control of your app to any nimrod who thinks they know how to write SQL. It's just about allowable for them to add simple restrictions but they could add in anything - correlated sub-queries, extravagant sorts, etc. Even if they don't deliberately exploit this hole you still have a fundamentally untunable part of your app.
It would be much better to have some additional parameters that allows the users to choose from several off-the-peg queries. If you have a user demanding the ability to write "any report I need" I recommend talking to them. The chances are they simply have a pet query, probably embodied in an Excel spreadsheet, they run once every month. Give them a view to meet that need and they'll be happy.

Passing parameters to pl/sql procedure called in portal

Hi all,
I am trying to use a javascript window.open function to create a small popup window that is populated by a pl/sql procedure from inside portal.
I am trying to pass it a parameter to refine a SQL query running in that procedure, unfortunately I'm not sure of the syntax. The url that I'm trying to open in the new window looks like this:
http://my.server.com:7777/portal/pls/portal/myschema.mypackage.myprocedure
If I just run this, it works fine and the popup window opens correctly and displays all results. If I try to pass a parameter, it errors out with a 404 Page Not Found.
The parameter itself comes from a text field that the user can enter a value into. I am able to get the value of that text field and append it to the url I'm generating, but I can't find the proper syntax.
I've tried numerous syntax variants, but none of them seem to work. The procedure does have the parameter defined in both the spec and body and properly handles it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
-Mike Markiw

You said you have a text field where a user enters a value, so I am assuming that you have form...
you can try following
<form action="/pls/portal/myschema.mypackage.myprocedure" method="post">
your text field "inVar"
your submit button
</form>
I am sure your myprocedure has inVar as an input...
If you just want to pass a value to a procedure you can always do following:
http://my.server.com:7777/portal/pls/portal/myschema.mypackage.myprocedure?inVar=the value

Problem calling PL/SQL procedure from Workflow function activity.

Hi,
I am trying to call a PL/SQL procedure from within my workflow activity.
While I am able to execute the procedure through SQLDeveloper, the workflow function does not seem to call it.
It seems that custom PL/SQL procedures have to conform to certain standards to be called within workflow applications. I have written my procedure to conform to those standards (referred to the example workflows).
Could someone please help me with it?
Thanks and regards.

Hi,
When I've received enough alpha reviews of the first few chapters of my book, I'll make chapter five available, which deals with writing functions for Workflows.

Jdbc NullPointerException calling pl/sql procedure from java

Hi.
Getting the following exception calling a plsql procedure from jdbc.
- Jdbc version is 10.2.0.2, but it also happens running several other variants, including 10.1.0.5.0.
- Application is running in Weblogic 8.1.3 (8.1 SP 3).
The procedure call itself has 2 in/out parameters which are tables (actually just 1 dimensional arrays), which I'm suspecting has something to do with the problem. I can successfully call this procedure using a plsql developer tool with the same bind parameters.
Any ideas?

OK... I figured it out.
Apparently, this error happens when you forget to register the output part of an in/out parameter. I would have hoped for better error messaging, but oh well.

MS SQL Procedure Call from Oracle Database

I have Oracle Database 11g connected to MS Sql Server 2008 via dg4msql, and need to execute procedure on MS Sql with parameters from Oracle, and get dataset (table) as a result.
I'm not sure is it possible to call procedure directly from Oracle; One solution would be make function on MS SQL, and put select on procedure from Oracle, but what with parameters?
Is there some possibility to call this procedure from Oracle and get this dataset as a cursor?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, of course I have DB Link in Oracle and procedure in SQL Server.
Btw, I can select data from SQL Server table.
I made one function in SQL Server, and I can not make select on this function, but in SQL Server I made view as select * from function_name, and select on this view from Oracle works. But problem is I have to call this procedure or function with parameters, and with view I can not do this.
So, I must call procedure or function with parameters directly. I made all by the book (Oracle® Database Gateway for SQL Server User’s Guide), but probably I miss something...

JDBC - Pl/SQL-Procedure or SQL-Statement???

Hi,
we have got the following problem:
Our program is entirely written in Java. It has to communicate with an ORACLE 8i database (Version 8.1.7). The big question is whether to call pl/sql-procedures which include the sql-statement (select/ insert/update) or to write the sql-statements in the Java-code directly.
We messure the time in our test-database. The procedure took twice the time of the direct statement, althoug the sql-statement had to be parsed each time.
What is the better way: pl/sql-procedure or sql-statements? On which conditions depend the choose?
(For your information: our statements aren't difficult. In our testdatabase aren't much datasources.)
Here is a snippet of our code:
1. PL/SQL-Prozedure:
CallableStatement cs = conn.prepareCall("begin dbrb_test_pkg.test(?,?,?); end;");
cs.registerOutParameter(1, OracleTypes.CURSOR);
cs.registerOutParameter(2, OracleTypes.CURSOR);
cs.registerOutParameter(3, OracleTypes.CURSOR);
cs.execute();
ResultSet rs1 = ((OracleCallableStatement)cs).getCursor(1);
ResultSet rs2 = ((OracleCallableStatement)cs).getCursor(2);
ResultSet rs3 = ((OracleCallableStatement)cs).getCursor(3);
2. SQL-Statements directly in Java-Code:
String statement1b = "SELECT bva_id, bva_datva FROM bva";
ResultSet rs1b = stmt.executeQuery(statement1b);
String statement2b = "SELECT brb_id, brb_datein FROM brb";
ResultSet rs2b = stmt.executeQuery(statement2b);
String statement3b = "SELECT bper_id, bper_nz1 FROM bper";
ResultSet rs3b = stmt.executeQuery(statement3b);
Thanks a lot.

this is a case-to-case basis.
it's ok to use the Statement/PreparedStatement if you're constructing your SQL or DML (insert/update/delete) statements. like when you're WHERE condition is dynamically created. this can be done also in PL/SQL (CallabeStatement) but passing of data is very tedious for you.
the PL/SQL is much better to use if all your SQL or DML statements are fixed. besides, this is easier to maintain. when you need to change a statement, you don't need to check the statement in SQL prompt then make the necessary changes in your java codes, then compile the class. when you're using PLSQL, you just need to change and recompile the PL you made. then presto! it's done. as long as you don't change the parameters the PL receives and sends, it should perfectly work with your java code. =)
