Reading date change

hello all,
for my application,i am storing birthday dates of all of my customers.i want to tell "happy birthday" to them on respective dates.for that i have to see the change of date everyday and i have to cross check each and every day, then i have to send them.
this thing i am doing in JSP.so i need to get the change of date.it changes on every night 12pm. that one i have to know and i have to cross check it with the dates in database.
friends please tell me how to do this.how to get the change of date.
THANKS IN ADVANSE
regards
srinivas

First of all thanks for ur reply.these many days i was not feeling fell.i did not come to off.
There will be so many clients. and i don't want to give that "Happy Birthday" in a popup window.I wnat to send SMS to the client.if 2 clients r bron on the same day then the 2 have to get SMS from our control center.
i think we have to use some listener or some DateChange event.
thanks in advanse

Deleted Rows Flashback : unable to read data - table definition has changed

Hi All,
Its Really Important.
I Unfortunately truncated a table using
Trancate table mytable;
and Made a alter table to decrease data pricision length.
But i Need the tabla data back,
i used the below command to get deleted rows, it shows error.
query : select * from pol_tot versions between timestamp systimestamp-1 and systimestamp;
error : ORA-01466: unable to read data - table definition has changed
query : flashback table pol_tot to timestamp systimestamp - interval '45' minute;
error : ORA-01466: unable to read data - table definition has changed
Kindly Share your ideas How Can i Get thoose Deleted Records.

Error: ORA 1466
Text:   unable to read data -- object definition has changed
Cause: This is a time-based read consistency error for a database object,
        such as a table or index.
        Either of the following may have happened:
        The query was parsed and executed with a snapshot older than the time
        the object was changed.
        The creation time-stamp of the object is greater than the current
        system time.
        This happens, for example, when the system time is set to a time
        earlier than the creation time of the object.
Action: If the cause is
        an old snapshot, then commit or rollback the transaction and resume
        work.
        a creation time-stamp in the future, ensure the system time is set
        correctly.
        If the object creation time-stamp is still greater than the system
        time, then export the object's data, drop the object, recreate the
        object so it has a new creation time-stamp, import the object's data,
        and resume work.

Datasocket, read when data changed in buffer

Hai
I am using datasocket to communicate between a remote VI on the PXI and a server application. Normally i would just write in to the datasocket server from the PXI, but if there is any data in the input buffer i need to read it and process it. Is there any Vi which or way in which i can check for data at input buffer.
Thanx for the answer

Hi,
Plese refer to "LabVIEW Function, VI and How-to help" and search for "datasocket, buffering data". Here you will find a snapshot of a VI that reads data from an Input buffer and also monitors how much buffer is being utilised.
Please let me know if you have more questions on this issue.

Hi
If you can convert the excel to a csv format, then it can be simply query from DB Creating Oracle External Tables. Best part is that you may still change the CSV using EXCEL.
Following action Points can be adopt;
*1. Convert Excel File to a csv. File Save as CSV*
*2. Create Oracle Directory* ( This has to be the location of your excel file )
SQL> Create directory mydir as 'C:\testdb'; --- "testdb" is the location folder in win for your excel sheet.
*3. Create the External Table*
SQL> create table my_ext_tab (
Field1 Datatype,
Field2 Datatype,
Field3 Datatype,
Field4 Datatype,
Field5 Datatype
Organization external
(type oracle_loader default directory mydir
access parameters (records delimited by newline fields terminated by ',')
location ('my_ext_tab.csv'))
reject limit 100;
*4. Now you can query the table "my_ext_tab"*
Select * from "my_ext_tab";
Please avoid the reformat the data column inside the spreadsheet (CSV).

Error reading data from CLOB column into VARCHAR2 variable

Hi all,
Am hitting an issue retrieving data > 8K (minus 1) stored in a CLOB column into a VARCHAR2 variable in PL/SQL...
The "problem to be solved" here is storing DDL, in this case a "CREATE VIEW" statement, that is longer than 8K for later retrieval (and execution) using dynamic SQL. Given that the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement can take a VARCHAR2 variable (up to 32K(-1)), this should suffice for our needs, however, it seems that somewhere in the process of converting this VARCHAR2 text to a CLOB for storage, and then retrieving the CLOB and attempting to put it back into a VARCHAR2 variable, it is throwing a standard ORA-06502 exception ("PL/SQL: numeric or value error"). Consider the following code:
set serveroutput on
drop table test1;
create table test1(col1 CLOB);
declare
cursor c1 is select col1 from test1;
myvar VARCHAR2(32000);
begin
myvar := '';
for i in 1..8192 loop
myvar := myvar || 'a';
end loop;
INSERT INTO test1 (col1) VALUES (myvar);
for arec in c1 loop
begin
myvar := arec.col1;
dbms_output.put_line('Read data of length ' || length(myvar));
exception when others then
dbms_output.put_line('Error reading data: ' || sqlerrm);
end;
end loop;
end;
If you change the loop upper bound to 8191, all works fine. I'm guessing this might have something to do with the database character set -- we've recently converted our databases over to UTF-8, for Internationalizion support, and that seems to have changed underlying assumptions regarding character processing...?
As far as the dynamic SQL issue goes, we can probably use the DBMS_SQL interface instead, with it's EXECUTE procedure that takes a PL/SQL array of varchar2(32K) - the only issue there is reading the data from the CLOB column, and then breaking that data into an array but that doesn't seem insurmountable. But this same basic issue (when a 9K text block, let's say, turns into a >32K block after being CLOBberred) seems to comes up in other text-processing situations also, so any ideas for how to resolve would be much appreciated.
Thanks for any tips/hints/ideas...
Jim

For those curious about this, here's the word from Oracle support (courtesy of Metalinks):
RESEARCH
========
Test the issue for different DB version and different characterset.
--Testing the following PL/SQL blocks by using direct assignment method(myvar := arec.col1;) on
different database version and different characterset.
SQL>create table test1(col1 CLOB);
--Inserting four CLOB data into test1.
declare
myvar VARCHAR2(32767);
begin
myvar := RPAD('a',4000);
INSERT INTO test1 (col1) VALUES (myvar);
myvar := RPAD('a',8191);
INSERT INTO test1 (col1) VALUES (myvar);
myvar := RPAD('b',8192);
INSERT INTO test1 (col1) VALUES (myvar);
myvar := RPAD('c',32767);
INSERT INTO test1 (col1) VALUES (myvar);
commit;
end;
--Testing the direct assignment method.
declare
cursor c1 is select col1, length(col1) len1 from test1;
myvar VARCHAR2(32767);
begin
for arec in c1 loop
myvar := arec.col1;
--DBMS_LOB.READ(arec.col1, arec.len1, 1, myvar);
dbms_output.put_line('Read data of length: ' || length(myvar));
end loop;
end;
The following are the summary of the test results:
===================================
1. If the database characterset is WE8ISO8859P1, then the above direct assignment
method(myvar := arec.col1;) works for database version 9i/10g/11g without any
errors.
2. If the database characterset is UTF8 or AL32UTF8, then the above direct assignment method(myvar := arec.col1;) will generate the "ORA-06502:
PL/SQL: numeric or value error" when the length of the CLOB data is greater
than 8191(=8K-1). The same error can be reproduced across all database versions
9i/10g/11g.
3. Using DBMS_LOB.READ(arec.col1, arec.len1, 1, myvar) method to read CLOB data into a VARCHAR2 variable works for both WE8ISO8859P1 and UTF8
characterset and for all database versions.
So - it seems as I'd surmised, UTF8 changes the way VARCHAR2 and CLOB data is handled. Not too surprising, I suppose - may you all be lucky enough to be able to stay away from this sort of issue. But - the DBMS_LOB.READ workaround is certainly sufficient for the text processing situations we find ourselves in currently.

TcpListener not working on Azure: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

Hi Everybody,
i'm playing a little bit with Windows Azure and I'm blocked with a really simple issue (or maybe not).
I've created a Cloud Service containing one simple Worker Role. I've configured an EndPoint in the WorkerRole configuration, which allows Input connections via tcp on port 10100.
Here the ServiceDefinition.csdef file content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ServiceDefinition name="EmacCloudService" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ServiceHosting/2008/10/ServiceDefinition" schemaVersion="2014-01.2.3">
<WorkerRole name="TcpListenerWorkerRole" vmsize="Small">
<Imports>
<Import moduleName="Diagnostics" />
<Import moduleName="RemoteAccess" />
<Import moduleName="RemoteForwarder" />
</Imports>
<Endpoints>
<InputEndpoint name="Endpoint1" protocol="tcp" port="10100" />
</Endpoints>
</WorkerRole>
</ServiceDefinition>
This WorkerRole is just creating a TcpListener object listening to the configured port (using the RoleEnvironment instance) and waits for an incoming connection. It receives a message and returns a hardcoded message (see code snippet below).
namespace TcpListenerWorkerRole
using System;
using System.Net;
using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime;
using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.Text;
using Roche.Emac.Infrastructure;
using System.IO;

using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Diagnostics;
using System.Linq;
public class WorkerRole : RoleEntryPoint
public override void Run()
// This is a sample worker implementation. Replace with your logic.
LoggingProvider.Logger.Info("TcpListenerWorkerRole entry point called");
TcpListener listener = null;
try
listener = new TcpListener(RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.InstanceEndpoints["Endpoint1"].IPEndpoint);
listener.ExclusiveAddressUse = false;
listener.Start();
LoggingProvider.Logger.Info(string.Format("TcpListener started at '{0}:{1}'", RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.InstanceEndpoints["Endpoint1"].IPEndpoint.Address, RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.InstanceEndpoints["Endpoint1"].IPEndpoint.Port));
catch (SocketException ex)
LoggingProvider.Logger.Exception("Unexpected exception while creating the TcpListener", ex);
return;
while (true)
Task.Run(async () =>
TcpClient client = await listener.AcceptTcpClientAsync();
LoggingProvider.Logger.Info(string.Format("Client connected. Address='{0}'", client.Client.RemoteEndPoint.ToString()));
NetworkStream networkStream = client.GetStream();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(networkStream);
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(networkStream);
writer.AutoFlush = true;
string input = string.Empty;
while (true)
try
char[] receivedChars = new char[client.ReceiveBufferSize];
LoggingProvider.Logger.Info("Buffer size: " + client.ReceiveBufferSize);
int readedChars = reader.Read(receivedChars, 0, client.ReceiveBufferSize);
char[] validChars = new char[readedChars];
Array.ConstrainedCopy(receivedChars, 0, validChars, 0, readedChars);
input = new string(validChars);
LoggingProvider.Logger.Info("This is what the host sent to you: " + input+". Readed chars=" + readedChars);
try
string orderResultFormat = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("\xB")) + @"MSH|^~\&|Instrument|Laboratory|LIS|LIS Facility|20120427123212+0100||ORL^O34^ORL_O34| 11|P|2.5.1||||||UNICODE UTF-8|||LAB-28^IHE" + Environment.NewLine + "MSA|AA|10" + Environment.NewLine + @"PID|||patientId||""""||19700101|M" + Environment.NewLine + "SPM|1|sampleId&ROCHE||ORH^^HL70487|||||||P^^HL70369" + Environment.NewLine + "SAC|||sampleId" + Environment.NewLine + "ORC|OK|orderId|||SC||||20120427123212" + Encoding.ASCII.GetString(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("\x1c\x0d"));

catch (Exception e)
LoggingProvider.Logger.Exception("Unexpected exception while writting the response", e);
client.Close();
break;
catch (Exception ex)
LoggingProvider.Logger.Exception("Unexpected exception while Reading the request", ex);
client.Close();
break;
}).Wait();
public override bool OnStart()
// Set the maximum number of concurrent connections
ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit = 12;
DiagnosticMonitor.Start("Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.Diagnostics.ConnectionString");
RoleEnvironment.Changing += RoleEnvironment_Changing;
return base.OnStart();
private void RoleEnvironment_Changing(object sender, RoleEnvironmentChangingEventArgs e)
// If a configuration setting is changing
LoggingProvider.Logger.Info("RoleEnvironment is changing....");
if (e.Changes.Any(change => change is RoleEnvironmentConfigurationSettingChange))
// Set e.Cancel to true to restart this role instance
e.Cancel = true;
As you can see, nothing special is being done. I've used the RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.InstanceEndpoints to retrieve the current IPEndpoint.
Running the Cloud Service in the Windows Azure Compute Emulator everything works fine, but when I deploy it in Azure, then I receive the following Exception:
2014-08-06 14:55:23,816 [Role Start Thread] INFO EMAC Log - TcpListenerWorkerRole entry point called

I've already tried to configure an internal port in the ServiceDefinition.csdef file, but I get the same exception there.
As you can see, the client can connect to the service (the log shows the message: Client connected with the address) but when it tries to read the bytes from the stream, it throws the exception.
For me it seems like Azure is preventing the retrieval of the message. I've tried to disable the Firewall in the VM in Azure and the same continues happening.
I'm using Windows Azure SDK 2.3
Any help will be very very welcome!
Thanks in advance!

hi Javier,
I changed your code like this:
private AutoResetEvent connectionWaitHandle = new AutoResetEvent(false);
public override void Run()
TcpListener listener = null;
try
listener = new TcpListener(
RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.InstanceEndpoints["Endpoint"].IPEndpoint);
listener.ExclusiveAddressUse = false;
listener.Start();
catch (SocketException se)
return;
while (true)
IAsyncResult result = listener.BeginAcceptTcpClient(HandleAsyncConnection, listener);
connectionWaitHandle.WaitOne();
The HandleAsync method is your "While (true)" code:
private void HandleAsyncConnection(IAsyncResult result)
TcpListener listener = (TcpListener)result.AsyncState;
TcpClient client = listener.EndAcceptTcpClient(result);
connectionWaitHandle.Set();
NetworkStream netStream = client.GetStream();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(netStream);
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(netStream);
writer.AutoFlush = true;
string input = string.Empty;
try
char[] receivedChars = new char[client.ReceiveBufferSize];
// LoggingProvider.Logger.Info("Buffer size: " + client.ReceiveBufferSize);
int readedChars = reader.Read(receivedChars, 0, client.ReceiveBufferSize);
char[] validChars = new char[readedChars];
Array.ConstrainedCopy(receivedChars, 0, validChars, 0, readedChars);
input = new string(validChars);
// LoggingProvider.Logger.Info("This is what the host sent to you: " + input + ". Readed chars=" + readedChars);
try
string orderResultFormat = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("\xB")) + @"MSH|^~\&|Instrument|Laboratory|LIS|LIS Facility|20120427123212+0100||ORL^O34^ORL_O34| 11|P|2.5.1||||||UNICODE UTF-8|||LAB-28^IHE" + Environment.NewLine + "MSA|AA|10" + Environment.NewLine + @"PID|||patientId||""""||19700101|M" + Environment.NewLine + "SPM|1|sampleId&ROCHE||ORH^^HL70487|||||||P^^HL70369" + Environment.NewLine + "SAC|||sampleId" + Environment.NewLine + "ORC|OK|orderId|||SC||||20120427123212" + Encoding.ASCII.GetString(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("\x1c\x0d"));
writer.Write(orderResultFormat);
catch (Exception e)
// LoggingProvider.Logger.Exception("Unexpected exception while writting the response", e);
client.Close();
catch (Exception ex)
//LoggingProvider.Logger.Exception("Unexpected exception while Reading the request", ex);
client.Close();
Please try it. For this error message, I suggest you could refer to this thread (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6173763/using-windows-azure-to-use-as-a-tcp-server

No Data Change event generated for a XControl in a Type Def.

Hello,
Maybe I am missing something but the Data Change event of a XControl is not called when the XControl is used in a Type Def. or Strictly Type Def. (see the attached file).
There may be some logics behind it but it eludes me. Any idea of why or any idea of a workaround still keeping the Type Def. ?
Best Regards.

XControl No Data Change event.zip ‏45 KB

Hi TWGomez,
Thank you for addressing this issue. It must be a XControl because it carries many implemented functions/methods (though there is none in the provided example).
Also consider that the provided non-working example is in fact a reduction of my actual problem (in a 1000-VI large application) to the smallest relevant elements. In fact I use a typedef of a mix of a lot of different XControls and normal controls, some of them being typedef, strictly typedef or normal controls and other XControls of XControls (of XControls...) in a object oriented like approach...
Hi Prashant,
I use a typedef to propagate its modifications automatically everywhere it is used in the application (a lot of places). As you imply a XControl would do the same, though one would like to construct a simple typedef when no additional functionality is wanted.
The remark "XControl=typedef+block diagram" is actually very neat (never thought of it that way) because it provides a workaround by transforming every typedef into a XControl. Thanks very much, I will explore this solution.
One issue remains: All normal controls update their displayed value when inserted into a typedef but not XControls. Data change event is not triggered. I known that XControls have some limitations (no array of XControls) but I would say, like TWGomez, that this is a “bug” considering the expected functionality.

Read data from a text file, one line at a time.

I need to read data from a text file, and display each line in a String Indicator on Front Panel. It displays each line, but I get Error 4, End Of Line, unless I enter an extra line of data in the file that I don't need. I tried Read From Text File.vi, made by Nat Instr, and it gave the same error.

The Read from Text File.vi reads data from a text file line by line until the user stops the VI manually with the Stop button on the front panel, or until an error (such as "Error 4, End of file") occurs. If an error occurs, the Simple Error Handler.vi pops up a dialog that tells you which error occurred.
The Read from Text File.vi uses a while loop, but if you knew how many lines you wanted to read, you could replace the while loop with a for loop set to read that many lines from the file.
If you need something more dynamic because the number of lines in your files vary, then you could change the code of the Read from Text File.vi to the expect "Error 4, End of file" and handle it appropriately. This would require unbundling the error cluster that comes fro
m the Read File function with the Unbundle By Name function, so that you can expose the individual error "status" and error "code" values stored in the cluster. If the value of the error "code" is 4, then you can change the error "status" from true to false, and you can rebundle the cluster with the Bundle by Name function. Setting the error "status" to false instructs the Simple Error Handler to ignore the error. Otherwise, pass the original error cluster to the Simple Error Handler.vi, so that you can see what the error is.
Of course, if you're not interested in what the errors are, you could just remove the Simple Error Handler.vi, but then you wouldn't see any error messages.
Best of Luck,

Reading Data from a Table With an Expert

Hi all - I'm trying to write an Expert in OWB that would read data from a table and create a new table based on that information. I have the table creation part down, but how can I read data from a table with an Expert? From what I've read, Experts only deal with metadata, and there is no mechanism in Experts to actually read data in the tables. Does OraTcl work in Experts? Has anyone ever came across this problem, and if so, how did you solve it? Thanks in advance for your time! - Don

Hi Don
Can also use Java and JDBC from within Tcl, see the routines in this file below, take modify or whatever;
http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/ombora.tcl
source <dir>\ombora.tcl
set g_user scott
set g_upwd zzzzzz
set g_hostname localhost
set g_port 1521
set g_srvname ora111
oraconnect $g_user $g_upwd $g_hostname:$g_port:$g_srvname
oraselect "select * from emp" ""
As well as dumping the results to stdout (you probably want to comment that part out and change any other part you don't like), g_res is a ResultSet object you can use to do whatever.
Cheers

Select query to read data from a view

Hi friends,
We have been using a query to read data from a custom view which used to work perfectly. Now the program sits at that select query forever. We are able to extract same data from se16. Not sure what could be the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Dev
Have a look at the Table Index for the tables involved in the View... I think there is some change in the Indexes.. (Add / Remove / Change)
Thanks

HELP!!!! How to read data from a file at time to time?

i store temporary string data in a file(the data changes always), and i need to read the data in the file from time to time, so how can i read from the file like every 5 seconds?

Please i need your help mr. noahw. i have a timer called timer1 inside that timer i am starting a thread to read the data in a file to me, then i have another timer timer 2 in which it takes the data already read from timer 1 and draws them on a GUI. the problem with me is that, i am unable to set a correct time for each of the two timers such that, every time timer one executes that is a new data is generated i need to draw only one figure coreesponding to those data, then when a new set of data is read i need to draw another figure based on the new data read, please help me with this becasue i need it urgently, this is my email, [email protected], and i can offer this reply as many points as you want if this helps you to help me, i am counting on you.

Hey , after got a lot of success with the xml reading part , i wonder if you
can help me with a problem while trying to reading that xml from a web service.
i use a procedure as followes:
FUNCTION read_from_web_service(in_username in varchar2 , in_password in varchar2)
RETURN CHAR
AS
l_service          UTL_DBWS.service;
l_call             UTL_DBWS.call;
l_a_ns                     VARCHAR2(32767);
l_wsdl_url         VARCHAR2(32767);
l_namespace        VARCHAR2(32767);
l_service_qname    UTL_DBWS.qname;
l_port_qname       UTL_DBWS.qname;
l_operation_qname UTL_DBWS.qname;
l_xmltype_in       SYS.XMLTYPE;
l_xmltype_out      SYS.XMLTYPE;
l_return           VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
l_wsdl_url        := 'http://www.company.com/publisherService/ServiceGetpublisherTable.asmx?wsdl';
l_namespace       := 'http://tempuri.org/';
l_service_qname   := UTL_DBWS.to_qname(l_namespace, 'ServiceGetpublisherTable');
l_port_qname      := UTL_DBWS.to_qname(l_namespace, 'ServiceGetpublisherTableSoap');
l_operation_qname := UTL_DBWS.to_qname(l_namespace, 'GetFieldsName');
l_service := UTL_DBWS.create_service (
    wsdl_document_location => URIFACTORY.getURI(l_wsdl_url),
    service_name           => l_service_qname);
l_call := UTL_DBWS.create_call (
    service_handle => l_service,
    port_name      => l_port_qname,
    operation_name => l_operation_qname);
l_xmltype_in := SYS.XMLTYPE('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <GetFieldsName xmlns="' || l_namespace || '">
    <user>' || in_username || '</user>
    <password>'|| in_password || '</password>
    </GetFieldsName>');
l_xmltype_out := UTL_DBWS.invoke(call_Handle => l_call,
                                   request     => l_xmltype_in);
UTL_DBWS.release_call (call_handle => l_call);
UTL_DBWS.release_service (service_handle => l_service);
l_return := l_xmltype_out.extract('//GetFieldsName/text()').getstringVal();
   dbms_output.put_line(l_return);
RETURN l_return;
END;but when i run it i got message:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: javax.xml.rpc.soap.SOAPFaultException: Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction: .
regarding the line:
l_xmltype_out := UTL_DBWS.invoke(call_Handle => l_call,
request => l_xmltype_in);
So , i deeply stuck here!
my web service description is:

hope you can help me with this.

Reading data from a XML file.

Hi,
I am new user to webdynpro and has the task of reading data from XML file.The file is created using XML form Builder and is stored at a location.But my code gives me the path instead of the content in the data.
The code is :
try
      IWDClientUser wdClientUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
       com.sap.security.api.IUser sapUser = wdClientUser.getSAPUser();
// create an ep5 user from the retrieved user
       IUser ep5User = WPUMFactory.getUserFactory().getEP5User(sapUser);
       IResourceContext context = new ResourceContext(ep5User);
/Specify the path of ur document here./
       RID pathRID = RID.getRID("/documents/70f51182-84c3-2710-ce91-8d5fbfde713d.xml");
       //RID pathRID = RID.getRID("/documents/hol.txt");
       wdContext.currentContextElement().setSetDisp(pathRID.toString());
       IResource resource = ResourceFactory.getInstance().getResource(pathRID, context);
       InputStream in = resource.getContent().getInputStream();
       ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
       byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
       int bytesread = 0;
       while ((bytesread = in.read(buffer)) != -1)
           out.write(buffer, 0, bytesread);
       String myData = out.toString();
/*myFile will containS the content of the document./
       wdContext.currentContextElement().setSetDisp(myData);
       catch (Exception e)
        // wdContext.currentContextElement().setTextdisp("IO Error:" + e.getMessage());
text data is read from the location but XML data is not read.
Please help me out.

hi SriRam,
For some reasons you are not able to change the value of attribute SetDisp ahich you gave the default value as the path using the following statement
wdContext.currentContextElement().setSetDisp(myData);
Remove that line.First try to open the files using creating new window instance
IWDWindow window =
            wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(
                  "http://<server name>:<port no>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs"
                        + "/documents/Public Documents/...."
                        + "/"
                        +<name>,
                  "from km repository",
                  false);
      window.open();
Then we can be sure that the error is due to reading data using input stream
Regards
Rohit

Reading data from flat file Using TEXT_IO

Dear Gurus
I already posted this question but this time i need some other changes .....Sorry for that ..
I am using 10G forms and using TEXT_IO for reading data from flat file ..
My data is like this :-

Here each column is separated by | . I want to read all the columns and want to do some validation .
How can i do ?
Initially my requirement was to read only 2 or 3 columns so i did like this ...

But now how can i do ? Shall i use like this select Statement for all the columns ?

Sorry for that ..
As per our requirement ...
I need to read the flat file and it looks like like this .

I have to check the file :-
Validation are 1st line should start from 0 else it should raise an error and insert that error into one table .
The for 2nd line also same thing ..it should start from 9 else it should raise an error and insert that error into one table .
Then the 3rd line should start from 1 else it should raise an error and insert that error into one table .
After that i have to do a validation like i will read the 1st line 2nd column .. It should be like this BP-V1 else raise an error and insert that error to a table . Then i will check the 3rd column which is 20100928 , it should be YYYYMMDD format else same thing ERROR.
Then like this for all columns i have different validation .......
Then it will check for the 2nd line 3rd column . this is an account no .1st i will check it should be 12 char else ERROR .Then I will check that what user has imputed in the form.Like for example User putted 111111111 then i will check with this 000111111111 which is there in the 2nd line . I have to add 000 before that Account no which user imputed .
Then the lines which is starting from 1 , i have to take all the 2nd column for all the lines which is starting from 1 and i have to do a sum . After that i have to compare that sum with the value in the 1st lines ( Starting from 0) 6th column . It should be same else ERROR ...
Then same way i have to count all the lines which is starting from 1 . Then i have to compare with the 7th column of 1st line . It should be same . Here in this file it should be 9.

I am calling the FUNCTION which you gave SPLIT as mcb_simulator_pkg.Split.
