Problem while selecting data from external tables

Hi All,
I am facing a problem with external tabels. I have created an external table
create table ext_org_table
( id varchar2(10)
, name varchar2(100)
,id_parent varchar2(10)
,name_parent varchar2(100))
organization external
( type oracle_loader
default directory MYDIR
access parameters
records delimited by newline
nologfile
nobadfile
fields terminated by ','
missing field values are null
location ('Orgdata.csv')
reject limit unlimited;
The problem is that when i give select * from ext_org_table , i get following error
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-04040: file Orgdata.csv in MYDIR not found
ORA-06512: at "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", line 19
ORA-06512: at line 1
Now , i have file Orgdata.csv in the specified directory.
I have created directory in oracle using create directory command.
I have granted read,write permission on the directory to user.
I have given all read,write and execute permissions to folder where my files resides.My file resides in /appl/home/kk
Now i don't understand why it is giving error file in Mydir not found.
Kindly suggest.
Regards
Krish

Hi,
You are obviously doing someting wrong.
May be the direcotry is not present or may be the file is not rpesent in the directory.
I just tried ths
Connected to Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0
Connected as SYS
create directory mydir as 'c:\csv';
grant read,write on directory mydir to scott;From Scott
create table ext_org_table
( id varchar2(10)
, name varchar2(100)
,id_parent varchar2(10)
,name_parent varchar2(100))
organization external
( type oracle_loader
default directory MYDIR
access parameters
records delimited by newline
nologfile
nobadfile
fields terminated by ','
missing field values are null
location ('Orgdata.csv')
reject limit unlimited;
select * from ext_org_table;Ofcourse i made up some dummy data to test and its all OK.
again,
You may want to check if
1) If the directory exists (select * from all_directories where directory_name='MYDIR');
2) If the user has the read/write permissions on that directory
3) If the file orgdata exists in that directory.

It would appear that you external table definition and the external data file data do not match up. Post a few input records so someone can duplicate the problem and determine the fix.

I have the correct privileges on the directory, but the error seems to be on the EMPLOYER_NAME field. The file I try to upload is in pipe-delimited format. The last field in the file does not have a pipe-delimiter at the end. Can this be the problem? Must I go and look for any trailing spaces? Can I specify in the external table script how many characters I need for the employer_name field? We receive this file from an external company
Thank you very much for the help
Ferdie

common mistake, you gave the field sizes in the
column listing of the table, but not in the file
definition. oracle does not apply one to the other.
in the file defintion section, give explict field
sizes.Hi shoblock
Sorry for only coming back to you now, thank you for your help, I had to give the explicit field size for the last column (employer name).
Thank you once again!!

How to insert decimal point while selecting data from a table

Hi All ,
My select requirement says , If the value received with no decimal then insert decimal before last 2 bytes. I need to retrieve data with this condition.
May you people help how i can achieve this?
Thanks in advance,
Sachetan

Is the data a number in string format?
with q as (select '12345' myNum from dual
union all select '45.78' from dual)
select case when instr(myNum, '.') > 0 then to_number(myNum) else
to_number(substr(myNum, 1, length(myNum) - 2) || '.' ||
substr(myNum, length(myNum) - 1)) end newNum from q
NEWNUM
123.45
45.78If not just use
with q as (select 12345 myNum from dual
union all select 45.78 from dual)
select case
when instr(myNum,'.')>0 then myNum
else myNum/100
end myNum
from q
MYNUM
123.45
45.78

Problem while selecting BELNR from BSEG

Hi Experts,
I have a report performance problem while fetching BELNR from BSEG table.
I have to print latest BELNR from BSEG where BUZID = M but at the time of execution of report, It is taking too much time (More that hour and sometimes it gets hanged).
I have also gone through the comments provided by experts for previous problems asked in this forum e.g. BSEG is a cluster table that is why data retrieval takes long time etc.
Can any one has any other idea or suggestion or any other way to solve this problem
Regards,
Neeraj

Hi,
1) Try to create an index on BUZID field
2) Don't use SELECT/ENDSELECT statement. Instead of that extract all the concerned entries from BSEG into an internal table :
select belnr from bseg appending table itab where buzid = 'M'.
then do this :
sort itab by belnr.
describe itab lines n.
read table itab index n.
Please reward if helpful.
Regards,
Nicolas.

Problem while retrving data from a view

Hi Friends
i have a problem while retriving data from a view v_t685a.
the error message is :""" "V_T685A" is not defined in the ABAP Dictionary as a table, projection view or database view."""
i wrote : select single VTEXT1 from V_T685A into w_cst_jin1 where
 KSCHL = 'JIN1' and
 KAPPL = 'V'.
how to retrive the data.
waiting for quick response
Regards
Mukesh

Hi
This is a Maintenance View, not a Database View
SO can't fetch data using select statement.
You can use the Table T685 directly to fetch the condition Types data straight away instead of the view. write the same select for this table and use.

How to select data from a table by passing document number from another tab

How to select data from a table by passing document number from another table.
for eg:-
I want to display name, adres, region from ADRC table
by using field delivery document number
Kind Regards,
Shanbagavalli.S

Hi Shanbagavalli,
There are multiple solutions to this questions a few i will try to answer and then you can take the best required for your requirements.
**Consider that you have a Internal table having document number from other table..
SELECT NAME ADRES REGION FROM ADRC
       INTO IT_ADRC
       FOR ALL ENTRIES IN IT_DOC
       WHERE DOCUMENT_NO = IT_DOC-DOCUMENT_NO.
**Consider that you have 1 document number then
SELECT NAME ADRES REGION FROM ADRC
     INTO IT_ADRC
     WHERE DOCUMENT_NO = W_DOCUMENT_NO.
Hope this solves your problem.

How can we improve the performance while fetching data from RESB table.

Hi All,
Can any bosy suggest me the right way to improve the performance while fetching data from RESB table. Below is the select statement.
SELECT aufnr posnr roms1 roanz
    INTO (itab-aufnr, itab-pposnr, itab-roms1, itab-roanz)
    FROM resb
    WHERE kdauf = p_vbeln
    AND   ablad = itab-sposnr+2.
Here I am using 'KDAUF' & 'ABLAD' in condition. Can we use secondary index for improving the performance in this case.
Regards,
Himanshu

Hi ,
Declare intenal table with only those four fields.
and try the beloe code....
SELECT aufnr posnr roms1 roanz
INTO table itab
FROM resb
WHERE kdauf = p_vbeln
AND ablad = itab-sposnr+2.

Problem while loading data from ODS to infoobject

Hi guys,
I am facing problem while loading data from ODS to infoobject.
If I load data via PSA it works fine but
if I load data without PSA its giving error as Duplicate records.
Do u have any idea why it is so.
Thanks in advance
savio

Hi,
when you load the data via the PSA, what did you select? Serial or Paralel?
If you select serial most likely you don't have duplicates within the same datapackage and your load can go through.
Loading directly in the IObj will happen thefore if you have the same key in two different packages, the "duplicate records" will be raised; you can perhaps flag your IPack with the option "ignore duplicate records" as suggested...
hope this helps...

Selecting data from two tables

I am trying to select data from two tables. The only problem that I am running into, is that i am only seeing results from my 'uploads' table. there is also a record in documents where user = 1 that should show up. here is my sql:
$userIDNum = 1;
$sql="Select *
from uploads, documents
WHERE uploads.user = documents.user AND uploads.user = $userIDNum
ORDER BY uploads.title ASC, documents.title ASC";

You'll need to explain a little more about your data and what you are trying to accomplish. Your current sql will select all columns from both the uploads and documents tables but only rows where the user id in both tables match, AND the user id equals 1. Is that not what you are seeing? Where's the code that outputs the results?

How to select data from a table using a date field in the where condition?

How to select data from a table using a date field in the where condition?
For eg:
data itab like equk occurs 0 with header line.
select * from equk into table itab where werks = 'C001'
and bdatu = '31129999'.
thanks.

Hi Ramesh,
Specify the date format as YYYYMMDD in where condition.
Dates are internally stored in SAP as YYYYMMDD only.
Change your date format in WHERE condition as follows.
data itab like equk occurs 0 with header line.
select * from equk into table itab where werks = 'C001'
and bdatu = '99991231'.
I doubt check your data base table EQUK on this date for the existince of data.
Otherwise, just change the conidition on BDATU like below to see all entries prior to this date.
data itab like equk occurs 0 with header line.
select * from equk into table itab where werks = 'C001'
and bdatu <= '99991231'.
