Radio button on a from generated with PL/SQL procedure

Hi,
I have a form generated with PL/SQL procedure. This procedure calls another procedure on 'Submit'. If I select value for the radio button, it works fine. But if no value is given to the radio button on the form, it gives error. Is the radio button mandatory field by nature? or do I need to give default value some how? How do I make the radio button optional? so that I can call the next procedure without passing the param.
Create or Replace PROCEDURE OBM_PROCEDURE
htp.formOpen(OWA_UTIL.GET_OWA_SERVICE_PATH || 'process_obm');
htp.Print('Admin ');
htp.FormRadio('p_access_level','A');
htp.Print('Doc ');
htp.FormRadio('p_access_level','D');
htp.formSubmit(cname=>'p_button', cvalue=> 'Submit');
=================================================================
Create or Replace PROCEDURE PROCESS_OBM
(p_access_level VARCHAR2,
p_button VARCHAR2)
htp.Print('p_access_level ');
Thanks!

Hi
The parameters of the called procedure should have defualt values like this
create or Replace PROCEDURE PROCESS_OBM
(p_access_level VARCHAR2 default 1,
p_button VARCHAR2 default null
htp.Print('p_access_level ');
Thanks,

Radio button item value from plsql

Hi,
I have a radio button with 3 options on a region (P3_RADIO1). With pressing a button I would like to check the value of P3_RADIO1. But in plsql :P3_RADIO1 is empty. How can I reach the selected return_value of then radio button item?
A.

Hi,
Reasonable straightforward. You just need to use the bound values of the radio button (1 or 2):
switch (this.rawValue)
    case "1":
    Response12BN.presence = "invisible";
    xfa.host.messageBox("Attach a copy of your company’s safety manual and safety incentive programs.", "SAFETY PROGRAM ATTACHMENTS", 3, 1);
    break;
    case "2":
    Response12BN.presence = "visible";
    Response12BN.rawValue = xfa.host.response("Please enter the reason you do not have a Written Safety Program here", "WRITTEN SAFETY PROGRAM");
    break;
Should work,

Passisng array from Java into PL/SQL procedure

Hi everybody!
I have type created with :
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE my_type IS TABLE OF number;
Next I have procedure withinin a package which has parameters:
PROCEDURE my_proc
(p_Result OUT NUMBER,
p_Id table.column%TYPE,
p_MyType my_type
I call this procedure from Java :
import javax.sql.*;
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.*;
import oracle.sql.ARRAY;
import oracle.sql.ArrayDescriptor;
public class MyClass extends QueryClient {
private int Id;
private int type;
private Integer[] List;
private int result;
public MyClass(int Id, eType type,
Integer[] List) throws SQLException {
this.Id = Id;
this.type = (type.equals(eType.TYPE_EXPORT) ? 1 : 0);
this.List = List;
this.execute("{call my_package.my_proc(?,?,?,?)}");
public void body(CallableStatement stmt) throws SQLException {
ArrayDescriptor descriptor = ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor("MY_USER.MY_TYPE", getCon());
ARRAY array_to_pass = new ARRAY(descriptor, getCon(), this.List);
// register the type.
stmt.registerOutParameter(1, OracleTypes.NUMBER); // result of procedure calling
stmt.setInt(2, this.Id );
stmt.setInt(3, this.type);
stmt.setArray(4, array_to_pass);
// execute and retrieve the result set
stmt.execute();
this.result = stmt.getInt(1);
public int getResult() {
return result;
EVERYTHING WORKS FINE, BUT when I move type "my_type" into package header
TYPE my_type IS TABLE OF number;
I receive error after calling procedure
java.sql.SQLException: invalid name pattern: MY_USER.MY_TYPE
I dropped type my_type after moving it into package. So there is only one my_type, in the package.
User who call procedure is owner of the package.
So questions are:
1. Is it possible to have my_type within package without error?
2. Is it possible to describe my_type without having a connection to database? My aim is eliminate number of connections to database.
Thanks all.
Matus.

You can't use the packaged type for this. You need to use the original collection type (i.e. via the CREATE TYPE syntax) as you have discovered yourself.

But by setting RemoveInfectedConnectionsEnabled to false, we can ask weblogic

I'd suggest is to add to the finally block. I would put a separate try-catch-ignore
block around every action in the finally, so if one fails, the others are still
done.
As long as you're writing good JDBC like that, there is no risk to telling the
pool to trust the code, by setting RemoveInfectedConnectionsEnabled to false.
That way you'll retain all the performance of the pools.

Transformation to WORD from XSLT with java stored procedure - PROBLEM

Hi all,
I'm building a java function for transformation of xml document through .xslt scheme to WORD. I use xalan.
Now, everything works fine if I run the java function on the client VM
But on the server where the classes needed for the transformation are loaded, it crashes with a strange exception
nulljava.lang.NullPointerException
Now I've located the problem, and it occurs in this line in the java code:
transformer.transform( new StreamSource(xmlFile), new StreamResult(osIzlez));
(where xmlFile is the source for the transformation, and the transformer is configured with the proper .xslt scheme, osIzlez points to a bytearraystream of a blob in the database where the .doc file is going to be generated and loaded)
I also found out that the NullPointerException occurs because the transformer is actually null on the server (although it's configured with the .xstl scheme and should not be null ! ), but on the client it's never null!
What could be the problem, does anyone have an IDEA?
Edited by: Daniel Kiprijanovski on 17.9.2009 03:07

OK, i found out that there's a reported bug about that exception on the java VM. I found a way arround it however.
Thanks,
Daniel K.

SELECT on TIMESTAMP field from ABAP with EXEC SQL

Hello,
I'm trying to get a field of one table which is defined as TIMESTAMP. MaxDB parameter DATE_TIME_FORMAT is set to INTERNAL. When I do the SELECT in SQL Studio I get ISO format 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.MMMMMM' back. So I tried a SELECT with ISO in WHERE clause, but I'm always getting a shortdump with this error:
Database error text........: "POS(82) Invalid date input value"
Database error code........: "-3065"
Then I did a SELECT without a WHERE clause in ABAP and got value '06-FEB-09' back from this field. So I tried with this ABAP statement and got no shortdump, but I also need to add time and not only the date.
EXEC SQL.
SELECT recv_time INTO :l_time FROM ztest WHERE sent_recv_time = '06-FEB-09'
ENDEXEC.
I'm using Native SQL because the SELECT is on a table which is not located in SAP Schema User. "SELECT recv_time FROM ztest WHERE recv_time = '2009-02-24 10:02:55.888000'" works in SQL studio, but not from ABAP.
Does anyone know which format I need to specify in the WHERE clause?

Executing sql from table with in plsql procedure

I wonder if anyone can help.
I have a table that stores sql statements. They are actually a set of rules that I want to apply to my application. My intention is to execute the statement in plsql.
EG a sql statment held in the table might be:
'select count(id) from item where item_id = ' || constants_pkg.c_test_item || ' and client_id = ' || client_id_in
I am trying to call this from a plsql procedure, Ive CUT OUT some of the procedure task_rec.rule holds the statement above. The procedure is failing invalid SQL statement, I think the client_id_in may not be evaluating as the variable, passed into the procedure and constants_pkg.c_test_item not being taken from the constants pkg.
EG.
PROCEDURE create_additional_info_list(
client_id_in IN client.id%TYPE,
IS
result VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
task_rec.rule
INTO result;
END;
If I was to do below the code would work ok. However I require the rule to come from the table.
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
'select count(id) from item where item_id = ' || constants_pkg.c_test_item || ' and client_id = ' || client_id_in
INTO result;
Is there anyway constants_pkg.c_test_item and client_id_in can be evaluated as variables?

Not that I've tried this but, if possible, change the SQL in the table to have bind variable; e.g.,
'select count(id) from item where item_id = :1 and client_id = :2 ';
Then in the procedure
execute immediate task
INTO result
USING constants_pkg.c_test_item ,
client_id_in ;

ORA-00972 from generated piece of SQL code

Hi - I stepped over this problem while testing a new procedure:
7 WHENEVER SQLERROR exit
8 SELECT 'STOP! Missing refresh group!' " ' FROM DUAL
9 WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT refg_name FROM SYS.DBA_REFRESH WHERE rname='Thingy')
10 SELECT 1/(sign(count(*)) FROM (SELECT refg_name FROM SYS.DBA_REFRESH WHERE rname ='Thingy')
I always get an ORA-00972: identifier is too long when I try to run these lines.
But WHERE is there a too long identifier? "STOP! Missing refresh group!" is only 28 characters long.
Somebody got a clue?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

The suspection is what you are using something like
SQL> SELECT "'STOP! Missing refresh group!' " FROM DUAL
2 /
SELECT "'STOP! Missing refresh group!' " FROM DUAL
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00972: identifier is too long, isn't it ?
Double-quoted strings are identifiers - and can't have more than 30 symbols.
Use single quotation in strings.

Passing a structure from Java to PL/SQL Procedure

Environment: Oracle DB, Tomcat/Apache
How do we pass a structure (Table Record Type) from Java to a PL/SQL Stored Procedure?
We are doing JSP-->JavaClass/Bean to communicate to DB. We have an existing PL/SQL packages/Procedure to insert records into table (These procedures have record types as in/out parameters). So is there a way to call these from Java?
Thanks in advance.

Oracle9 i JDBC Developers Guide and Reference(page 21-16):
It is not feasible for Oracle JDBC drivers to support calling arguments or return
values of the PL/SQL RECORD, BOOLEAN, or table with non-scalar element types.
However, Oracle JDBC drivers support PL/SQL index-by table of scalar element
types. For a complete description of this, see "Accessing PL/SQL Index-by Tables"
on page 16-21.
As a workaround to PL/SQL RECORD, BOOLEAN, or non-scalar table types, create
wrapper procedures that handle the data as types supported by JDBC. For example,
to wrap a stored procedure that uses PL/SQL booleans, create a stored procedure
that takes a character or number from JDBC and passes it to the original procedure
as BOOLEAN or, for an output parameter, accepts a BOOLEAN argument from the
original procedure and passes it as a CHAR or NUMBER to JDBC. Similarly, to wrap a
stored procedure that uses PL/SQL records, create a stored procedure that handles
a record in its individual components (such as CHAR and NUMBER) or in a structured
object type. To wrap a stored procedure that uses PL/SQL tables, break the data
into components or perhaps use Oracle collection types.

Returning Multiple Rows From DBAdapter Calling PL/SQL Procedure

Oracle XE 10g Express Edition
JDeveloper 11.1.1.2.0
WebLogic Server 11g
Guys,
I have a table of orders, which I need to interrogate, and pass back any matching rows which meet certain criteria (e.g. status = 'OPEN').
However, rather than create a DBAdapter using an Operation Type of "Peform an Operation on a Table/Select", I need to use an Operation Type of "Call a Stored Procedure or Function".
I therefore need the procedure to return all the matching rows, rather than a single row.
I have looked at declaring return parameters for the procedure of the following types:
RECORD - is good because it allows me to return the elements of the row with their correct datatypes, but does not meet my needs because it will only support the return of a single row.
VARRAY - good because it can contain many row elements, but not good because it only supports a single row return, and also because all elements of the VARRAY must be of the same data type.
TABLE - good because it can contain many rows, but bad because each row can contain only two elements - the index element and the data element.
I think I could first define a RECORD (to hold a row), and then define a TABLE, with the data element being the RECORD, but I have found JDeveloper very fussy indeed when dealing with 'non-standard' data types in the DBAdapter.
Apologies if I am missing something obvious, but can anyone suggest a way of doing this?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi, I've been able to create process that seems to work. My platform is a but different but I don't think this is important for your question.
Here is the PL/SQL code. Just make Db Adapter for Calling stored procedure and it returns all rows!
Be aware of possible limitations on how manyrows you could return in one select! This can have severe impact on performance.
Succes.

Transformation with PL/SQL Procedure

Hi,
I want to do the following transformation with the OWB.
Table1 -> Transformation (Procdure) -> Table2
The procedure should take the table structure of Table1 as input. The procedure sould process the data inside it.
It should return the table structure of Table2 as output, so that Table2 can get populated with the transformed data.
Can any of you please let me know how the above can be achieved efficiently with OWB (without the use of Table Functions) ?
I am working with OWB10G Release 2.
Thanks
Anirban

LS,
Since the transformations are complex, using a temporary table does not simplify the mapping in OWB. A table function does keep the mapping in OWB simple and keeping maintenance simpler by keeping it out of OWB and into a tablefunction.
The "walkthrough" of 'gladnn' in this post should give you a good start:

Why are my radio buttons not renaming in pages spawned from a hidden template?

Hi Everyone,
I am new to PDF forms, and have never before tried to use JavaScripts. However, I have been able to learn a lot and I have followed many threads and have almost accomplished what I want, but have hit a block. I don't understand the JavaScript well enough to locate my problem. Your help is greatly appreciated.
SYSTEM SPECS: Adobe Acrobat X Pro Mac OS 10.8.5
WHAT I WANT: To create a multi-page (100 pages) form for grading student assignments. Each page must have the same fields, but as each page belongs to a new student, it needs to have different values in the fields on different pages. Each page has 4 questions to score, with 4 score possibilities for each question (0, 1, 2, 3 points), and so only one score should be able to be selected per question.
WHAT I HAVE DONE, following the directions on this thread (Re: Multiple pages form) ):
1) Created a form with a field for student name and 4 sets of radio buttons (Labeled Questions 1-4, with score choices 0-3).
2) Placed a button at the bottom of the page that will spawn a new page and rename fields.
3) Defined this page as a template.
4) Spawned a page.
5) Made the template "hidden."
THE PROBLEM: Steps 1-4 above work perfectly--as long as the template (named "Form") is visible, when I click the button, a new page generates and the student name field renames the fields on Page 2 to "P2.Form.Student ID #" and the radio buttons rename to "P2.Form.Question 1" etc. Each time I press the button, it renames everything appropriately.
However, if I hide the template, then when I click the button on page 1, the fields on Page 2 are renamed to "P1.Form.StudentID ##1." AND THE RADIO BUTTONS DO NOT RENAME. They get the name "P1.Form.Question 1" etc. So the student name field did rename in a way that allows me to enter a new name on each page, but it isn't actually reflecting that I am on page 2, and as for the radio buttons, at that point, I cannot enter different scores on different pages because they are all part of the same radio button grouping.
If I use check boxes, they rename similarly to the student ID field, but I don't want to use check boxes because I want to return one possible score value for each question for tabulating the data. I don't want to leave the template visible because when I distribute this form to other graders, they may enter values into the template page without realizing it, and then when the spawn forms they will have wrong data already entered.
Here is the script that I have set as the button's Mouse Up script:
// Specify the name of the template
var template_name = "Form";
// Get a reference to the template
var t = getTemplate(template_name);
// Add a new page based on the template
if (t !== null) {
    t.spawn({
    nPage: numPages,      // Add the new page to end of document
    bOverlay: false,      // Create a new page, not an overlay
    bRename: true         // Rename the fields
} else {
   app.alert("The template named \'" + template_name + " does not exist in this document.", 1);
Thanks for your help

Hi again GKaiseril,
If you have the time, would you be able to tell me how to do that? I tried just changing the page number of the template page to zero, but I get the error "Please enter a starting value of at least 1." I definitely noticed that all of the discussions about similar subject do all say to somehow put the first page of the form before the template and then hide the template, but I don't think that I know how to do that. I read your response on this discussion "Re: Self replicating form pages in Acrobat Pro 9 (Win XP)" before I ever started this discussion, but have to admit that I can't figure out how to follow your advice "When I create a from that uses a template, I create the template and then spawn the 1st page of the form before the template and then work out the scripting for the 1st page and template and then hide the template."
Thanks
