Record types in Pro*C

Say I have the following package:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE temp_test_pkg IS
     TYPE test_type IS RECORD (
                     num number,
                     chr varchar2(10));
     TYPE test_arr_type IS TABLE OF test_type INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
     PROCEDURE test_proc(p_tst OUT test_type);
     PROCEDURE test_proc2(p_tst OUT test_arr_type);
END temp_test_pkg;And I want to call the test_proc and test_proc2 functions from a Pro*C application. How can I do this? I have not seen any method to pass record types, or even worse tables of record types, in Pro*C and so far the only thing I can think of is to break up the record into individual arguments, which is ugly.
I have looked into the Object Type Translator and I don't think it will work without making changes to the packages since everything will have to be re-typed as object types. I can not do this, so unless OTT will work without changing the types that "solution" is out.

All interesting to know, but it all confirms what I thought all along: object types and its associated object cache were designed to manipulate table data not temporary data that was created and passed just to satisfy the temporary need to get data into a Pro*C/C application.
Thanks! But it looks like object types bring with them an amount of overhead that is not going to be suitable for our task. We'd constantly be bringing in the objects, consuming them, and then flushing them out of the cache because we'll be recreating them again next time (in the PL/SQL procedure) and they won't ever be the same. In order for this to change we'd need to redesign the entire thing, and while that is certainly something to keep in mind, for now we don't have the time!
If and when we decide to redesign, I will certainly take all this into consideration!
For my own edification, however, how much faster did you find the OCCI implementation over the Pro*C implementation? We don't use the OCI layer for anything yet, so this would be a first, and so I may have to sell its use.
Thanks!

This is a directory issue that Disk Utility cannot fix. Although it manifests itself as a software issue sometimes it may be hardware based. See DiskUtility reports "Underlying task reported failure" when repairing avolume http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1901?viewlocale=en_US". You can try using a utility like TechTool Pro, Drive Genius or Disk Warrior to repair and replace the directory. Another option would be to use the Archive and Install feature to reinstall. If the problem returns after correction you may have a failing or failed HDD.

Passing record Types in BPEL

Hi all,
I was creating and passing / getting back record types for calling a plsql method in bpel , until i came upon a method where i define a type ref cursor and get all the attributes in the ref cursor. This makes my application very generic as i can add as many out put parameters into the record type and get them in the xml. I just wanted to know the pros and cons of this approach . Is this better than defining a static record type and getting the values as the only changes i need to make if the calling application asks for more parameters would be in the backend code.
Thanks

Video recorded in QT Pro-compatible with FCP?

Is a video recorded in QT Pro compatible with FCP?
I was getting errors earlier today importing QT video clips recorded in QT Pro.
FCP said "unknown file type" and wouldn't import it.
I tried different decks, different footage, all to no avail.
Drag and drop, file>Import, neither worked.
I never tried this before and was surprised.
It's not that it needed rendering, it just wouldn't import.
QT was set to use the native format of the recording device.
FCP was set to DV NTSC easy set up.
OS 10.4.7, QT 7.1.2, FCP 5.0.4.
Thanks,
Richard

Now this is strange.
I just downloaded Live Capture Plus to try it out.
It captures the same tape from the same deck with the same settings as I tried in QT.
Imports perfectly into FCP 5.1.1 No problems whatsoever.
Both clips have identical settings in the info pane of QT Pro:
DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720 x 480 (640 x 480), Millions
16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
29.97
640 x 480 pixels
Yet the QT clip will not import into FCP with an "unknown file" error.
Why?
Thanks

Error in using plsql record type inside packages

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE sample1 AS

I got invalide data type error.I think the datatype in the CAST() clause must be a SQL Type i.e. one created with a CREATE TYPE command in the database. emp_result is only a PL/SQL datatype.
But I dont know why it is saying error
eresult(eresult.count) := emp_result(v_empname,v_job,v_sal); eresult is a table of records. It is therefore expecting a record. records don't seem to be created in the same way that user defined types are.
The concept of handling records like this is new to 9i and they are still smoothing out the bumps. Things are a lot better in 9.2 than in 9.0.1 if it's any consolation. There is a particular gap in the documentation, which is what's tripping you up at the moment: the difference between TYPE AS RECORD and other types, also the difference between VARRAY, NESTED TABLE and REF CURSOR. To be honest, it's all kind of hazy for me at the moment: I always need to run some code before I make any pronouncements on this topic.
Good luck, APC

How create a record type and a pl/sql table of that record type in database

How to assigne value in sub record type

Dear below mention record type database,now i want to assigne value in payr_rec type,in this recrocrd type have one column party_id,but how can assigne value int this field ,
TYPE group_rec_type IS RECORD(
group_name VARCHAR2(255),
group_type VARCHAR2(30),
created_by_module VARCHAR2(150),
-- Bug 2467872
mission_statement VARCHAR2(2000),
application_id NUMBER,
party_rec PARTY_REC_TYPE := G_MISS_PARTY_REC
please guide.

to get the desired default party_rec attribute value, just assign the "sub-record" attribute defaults as desired; PL/SQL will assign a default (non-null) record as the party_rec value using those attribute defaults:
create or replace package P_Test_It
as
     type party_rec_type is record (
          dummy varchar2(1) default 'X'
     type group_rec_type is record (
          group_name VARCHAR2(255),
          group_type VARCHAR2(30),
          created_by_module VARCHAR2(150),

I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. How do I get it to stop?

I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop? My sound is running through the Saffire Pro 40 Interface (Focusrite) into external speakers with powered amps.
Also, When I record I am hearing little pops in the system. I have checked all of my meters and they are not clipping. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop?

Pancenter,
Thanks for the response, but I do not have a midi interface. I am using a midi to usb connector cable, thus bypassing the need for a Midi interface.
The Mac reads the USB cable as a midi device, but not the keyboard that I am trying to use as a controller. I have tried it with my korg sp 300 and with my Nord Electro 2.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Tristan
Tristan...
This is what you have, correct?
http://www.alesis.com/usbmidicable
This from Alesis..
"The AudioLink Series USB cable receives and outputs MIDI signal thanks to its internal interface. The USB-MIDI Cable connects plug-and-play to your Mac or PC for an all-in-one USB-MIDI solution."
Notice, -internal interface-. What you have is a simple USB MIDI Interface. Most MIDI interfaces are USB.
My point is (was), MIDI OUT of the Korg goes to the connector marked MIDI IN on the Alesis, those new to MIDI often get this wrong.

ACH CTX - Addenda Record Type 7

Hi,
I am working on ACH CTX file for vendor payments through Wells Fargo bank. I need some help on the Addenda Record type 7. The format generated by standard SAP for this record type 7 is not acceptable by the bank. And they are not able to help us out much on what should be the format. All they say is that it should be in ANSI ASC X12 format (payment-related information) and refer NACHA format guidelines. Can anyone tell me what is this NACHA format and what data elements should be passed on in this record type. Is there a specific format I can follow?
Thanks,

Howto post offsetting entries for Record type Z Line items in KE24 from FI

HI,
We are facing one problem for order created from CRM.
Firstly this order has created with one profit center ( ex PH50293 ) they have posted some plan values and released the order in CRM so values flown to ECC and available in KE24 .
After some time , we have changed profit center for this order in CRM by changing service organisation and release the order after that we have posted some values in that order which is not flown to ECC becuase of different profit center
Later we rejected the all values and make balance zero in CRM , But still values are appearing in KE24 and there is inconsistency of profit center between ECC & CRM.
Now want to make the balances zero in KE24 for that order. but it shows record type Z ,
So , now how we can rectify this and how we can make balances zero
__Note : as per present setting in the system, we can not change the profit center in CRM once order released_._
Thanks & Regards
Gupta

Dear VK,
I guess, the only option would be to post manual correction thru KE21N, with negative values for record type Z.
Trust this helps.
Cheers.

I want to pass a limited selection of columns from a large table through a DB procedure using a REF CURSOR, returning a table rowtype:

Do I need to create this dummy table?
I can't get a TYPE to work, where the type is an OBJECT with the desired columns in it.
So a dummy empty table will sit in the database...
Is there another way?
thanks!

You can use RECORD type declaration:

3    ename emp.ename%type,
4    sal emp.sal%type

6   type rc is ref cursor return rec_type;

14    dbms_output.put_line(rec1.ename || ' ' || rec1.sal);
