Problem with InterMedia ClipBoard

Question

Hi
i am trying to use the Code wizard to create the Get_object , put_object, insert_row procedures for inserting/updating BLOB data into oracle database
However the code editior gives an error
The code generated is as follows and the error is as follows
I am not able to figure out why it should give an error at this location though.
Please can some one help
The code is as follows
procedure INSERT_CONTENT_ROW
in_ID in varchar2,
in_AUTHOR in varchar2,
in_CONTENT_NAME in varchar2,
out_rowid out varchar2
as
begin
insert into CONTENTS ( ID, AUTHOR, CONTENT_NAME, DOCS ) values ( in_ID, in_AUTHOR, in_CONTENT_NAME, .BLOB ( ) ) returning rowid into out_rowid;
end;
----------The error generated in code Editior is as below----
WM-00521: OCI returned OCI_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO; ORA-24344: message not available
Line: 10, Column: 105: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "." when expecting one of the following:
( - + mod not null others <an identifier>
<a double-quoted delimited-identifier> <a bind variable> avg
count current exists max min prior sql stddev sum variance
execute cast trim forall
<a string literal with character set specification>
<a number> <a single-quoted SQL string>
The symbol "<an identifier>" was substituted for "." to continue.
When I run the same code in SQL*Plus this is the error I get
procedure INSERT_CONTENT_ROW
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
Now i am new to Intermedia and the BLOB usage so could not figure out much
I would also be gla if someone can refer me to some good reference material on the Intermedia standard procedures, functions and other developer related material.
By the way, the config is as follows:
oracle8.1.5/InterMedia Web agent/clipBoard, Win NT, Apache1.3.9
Thank you

Hi
When I try to generate procedures with code generator in Intermedia Clip Borad I get errors as listed against each of the procedure
1. GET_CONTENT_DOC
--to retrive documents from document column
--which is a BLOB type column:
--By the way the documents column name is DOCS in the database
procedure GET_CONTENT_DOC
ord_procedure_path in varchar2,
http_if_modified_since in varchar2,
http_status out varchar2,
http_last_modified out varchar2,
ord_content_type out varchar2,
ord_content_length out number,
ord_content_blob out blob
as
db_mod_date date;
begin
/* get the content, content type, last-modified date from the object. */
select
t.DOCS.GetContent(),
t.DOCS.GetMimeType(),
t.DOCS.GetUpdateTime()
into
ord_content_blob,
ord_content_type,
db_mod_date
from CONTENTS t
where
t.ID = ord_procedure_path
and rownum = 1;
/* if we didn't know the content type, it's just bits */
if ord_content_type is null
then
ord_content_type := '/x-unknown';
end if;
/* figure out the length */
ord_content_length := dbms_lob.getlength( ord_content_blob );
/* figure out the http status and last modified date */
http_status := ordwebutl.cache_status(
db_mod_date, http_if_modified_since, http_last_modified );
end;
ERROR is a s follows:
WM-00521: OCI returned OCI_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO; ORA-24344: message not available
Line: 17, Column: 9: PLS-00201: identifier 'T.DOCS' must be declared
Line: 16, Column: 5: PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
2. PUT_CONTENT_DOC
-- to insert a document
procedure PUT_CONTENT_DOC
ord_procedure_path in varchar2,
http_status out varchar2,
ord_content_blob out blob
as
begin
/* set the blob to empty before we return a handle to it */
/* and set the content type from the one passed in */
update CONTENTS t
set t.DOCS = .BLOB ( )
where
t.ID = ord_procedure_path
and rownum = 1;
/* now select the blob we're going to update */
select t.DOCS.GetContent()
into ord_content_blob
from CONTENTS t
where
t.ID = ord_procedure_path
and rownum = 1
for update;
/* return http status OK */
http_status := 200;
end;
ERROR is as follows:
MWM-00521: OCI returned OCI_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO; ORA-24344: message not available
Line: 13, Column: 18: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "." when expecting one of the following:
( - + mod null <an identifier>
<a double-quoted delimited-identifier> <a bind variable> avg
count current max min prior sql stddev sum variance execute
cast trim forall
<a string literal with character set specification>
<a number> <a single-quoted SQL string>
The symbol "<an identifier>" was substituted for "." to continue.
The INSERT_DOCUMENT got created thru SQL*Plus. However I have NOT changed the .BLOB to EMPTY_BLOB() and I am still not sure whether it will work and whether I have to change it empty_blob()( iguess technically I should )
