Regarding DataType

Hi,
I am designing a module pool. i have taken the variable in the DB table type as
zmppmtr-wpfffm as QUAN(10)
zmppmtr-wpfffm_calc as QUAN(10)
and i have taken a dummy i/o field and declared that as WPFFFM TYPE I.
My problem is when i am calculating the zmppmtr-wpfffm_calc by giving the value zmppmtr-wpfffm less than wpfffm then it is giving a dump. i.e it is not accepting negative values... the dump is like follow ..
Short text
    Conversion error
Error analysis
    The program has been interrupted and cannot resume.
    Program "ZMPPMTRRD" attempted to display fields on screen 2000.
    An error occurred during the conversion of this data.
Can u kindly tellme the solution ...
Waiting for ur reply...
Regards
Srinath

HI,
To allow negative values on a screen you must enter something like this in the screenpainter for screen 2000:.
___________V
This will allow room for your negative sign.

Regarding Datatypes

Hi All,
For my calculation purpose i'm using Charater datatype,
So the issue here is, I'm getting *(asterik) for the first value in the internal table,
I cannot use integer bcoz for some records there are no calculation, so for that it had to display space, but if we use integer we will get 0(zero).
So please suggest wat is the way to avoid * for the first record.
Best Regards,
Rohit

Hi Rohit,
Go with num.
I am sure you are also refreshing the table before fetching the data into that.
Type N is a text type, not a numeric data type (although its values are strings of digits), because the strings are not used for calculation purposes. Typical examples of type N fields are account and article numbers (provided they contain only digits), as well as the sub-fields of date and time fields.
calculations involving packed numbers (type P) are programmed, and thus noticeably slower.
Type F values range from /- 2.2250738585072014E-308 to 1.7976931348623157E308, as well as the number 0, with an accuracy of at least 15 decimal places.
I Guess go for the Num data type.
Please do have a look when using the data type if in case its large data dont go for packed .

DropDownbyKey Problem with displayed values

Hi all,
I've got some strange behaviors with some dropDownbyKey. These DropDownbyKey are linked to enumerations.
In our projects we use several DCs. 4 DCs have been developed separately.
Since we refer in our master DCs to the 3 others DCs, dropdownbyKey of first DC displayed the key and not the description of the enumeration. It worked properly before.
For the 3 others DCs there is no problem, description of the enumeration is displayed and not the key.
This is really strange...moreover we made the following test: for a dropdown of master DC we refer to an enumeration included in one of the slave DC, this works properly. The description of the enumeration is displayed.
May anobody helps me?
Thanks a lot,
Damien

I also got this problem, one of my DC doesn't work with enumeration description.
If you got something, please let me know.
You can go to Regarding datatype, strange behavior

Thank you.

Comparision between Multimaster replication and data guard

Hi,
I have some questions regarding Multimaster Replication and Data Guard. Like
*1.)* I have a web site having database in oracle 10.2.0 and multimaster replication configured on it. But whenever i need to change the structure of the tables i
need to stop replication. So my web site is unavailable but my first priority is availability. So will it be useful for me to configure data guard.
*2.)* I have configured data guard for testing . My Database is Named as Gard and physical standby database is like stan.
it is working fine.
suppose my main database server get corrupted i have no option to start main database server. Now i left with only standby server how i can start standby server
as database main server.
*3.)* Is there any if main database stop working Standby database start working as main without dba intervention.
Thanks
Umesh
Edited by: Umesh Sharma on Jan 14, 2009 4:17 AM

Hi Umesh,
first of all you should be aware that Dataguard and Replication are two completely different things.
While the database where you replicate to is always up and open in read write mode, a physical standby can either be recovering or open in read only mode.
1.) I think from what you are telling you probably should consider using dataguard with a logical standby database, but be aware that there will be some limitations regarding datatypes.
2.) you can do a failover or a switchover, depending on your database version switchback may not be possible
3.) have a look at dataguard broker, you can use it to automate the failover
Best regards,

PLS-00487: Invalid reference to variable ' expression '

oracle database 10G
OS unix
One of procedure is giving error PLS-00487: Invalid reference to variable '<expression>' while compilation in above database while it is compiling
successfully in other database.
Is there any database error?

PLS-00487: Invalid reference to variable "string"
Cause: A variable was referenced in a way that is inconsistent with its datatype. For example, a scalar variable might have been mistakenly referenced as a record, as follows: DECLARE CURSOR emp_cur IS SELECT empno, ename, sal FROM emp; emp_rec emp_cur%ROWTYPE; my_sal NUMBER(7,2); BEGIN ... total_sal := total_sal + my_sal.sal; -- invalid ...
Action: Check the spelling of the variable name. Make sure the variable was declared properly and that the declaration and reference are consistent regarding datatype.
Most probably the compiler "sees" some other type variable with the same name first which in the other database doesn't exist or is out of scope.

Datasocket shared variable api

I ran into the following the other day whilst debugging some code:
We had a type mismatch when sending data however, when testing the DataSocket API did not return this error information, nut the Shared Variable API did.
DS just returned default data with a change in the timestamp)
This got me thinking:
Is using Shared Variable API the way to go? Is it a better (more refined) API?
Are there different reasons for using one over the other? (I do like that DS's refnum is not datatyped, which means that I have to provide the datatype on the read as opposed to the SV-API).
With respect to the type mismatch, I found that I could actually initialise the Variable with either datatype and it worked (only) for that datatype.
It would only error when the other datatype was used.
Does that mean the Variable does not know what its datatype actually is when a cluster is used?

I'm not sure I quite follow your question regarding datatypes. It looks like the error is being returned because a variable cannot contain a cluster. You can do arrays, but not clusters, so that's probably why the SV API is complaining about the type input.
Hi Caleb
My question was relating to the fact that if the variable is not initialized on one PC, and I try reading from it on another PC, specifying the datatype to read back, then I get an error using the SV API but no error from DataSocket.
My use case was for a Cluster.
I didn't check whether it was Cluster-specific or occurs for every datatype.
I assumed Cluster-only as Clusters differ when setting up the Shared Variable.
I.e. All standard datatypes are available in a drop-down, but you need to select Custom Control for a Cluster.
So the last question was asking could I theoretically use any Cluster with a SV-Cluster as long it is the same when I do a Read and Write.
I.e. When using the DS/SV-API the Shared Variable does not know (/have information on) what its datatype actually is when a Cluster is used - it relies on what datatype is used to initialize it?
Hope that makes sense.

Regarding CLOB datatype handling in forms6i

hi everybody,
i created a table with two fields 1.sno number datatype
2.pic BLOB datatype.
i created a datablock based on the above table.At the same time i placed one button for file open dialog box and i am selecting jpg files and placing that into image item.
what my doubt is if the table contains no data for the pic column, then i have to display the display image which shows the "NO PICTURE IS AVAILABLE".
So for that i have to check when execute_query i want to check whether the pic column contains the data or not,
HOW CAN I DO THAT..
PLZ DO HELP ME IN THIS REGARD
THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Dataelement and Datatype regarding photo

hi this is praveen we are connecting .net to sap .
.net people give photo to us so we have option in se78 direct we can insert photo
but in my requirement is i need datatype and dateelement and table to insert a photo
can any one pls help me
thanking you

HI Praveen,
Try using the Tcode OAER where we can have the document type - as color photos etc. pls cehck this
OAER- Document type - HRIEMPFOTO, HRICOLORFOTO etc try searching as HRI* we can also do this way
OR
save the photo in BMP format before uploading it in SAP. it doesn't support gif or other format.
go to se78.give the name of the photo in graphics->BMAP-> F4. it will ask for the path. select from the path and upload the photo.give the desired resulution. Resulation will decide the size of photo. try different combination in form u'll get the desired size.

Regarding reversing Siebel datastores-Column Datatypes multiplied by 4

Hi,
I am trying to reverse a table from Siebel. I am using no RKM. But for my surprise except number and date all other datatype values are getting multiplied by 4.
For eg: Char(1) in db is reversed as Char(4)
varchar2(100) in db is reversed as varchar2(400)
It is Siebel based on Oracle db.
Thanks,
Vikram

Hi,
It is an issue with drivers. Database I am using is 11g and ODI standard comes with 10g drivers.
Solution:
1)Download ojdbc5.jar and ojdbc5_g.jar if your jdk is 1.5 and ojdbc6.jar and ojdbc6_g.jar if your jdk is 1.6.
2)Replace ojdbc14.jar with these. Dont keep ojdbc14.jar in the ODI folder.
3)Close all ODI applications and reopen.
4)Go to topology and test any of the Physical topology, when a window pops up to test click on details and see whether the driver version is reflection as 11.<version>.
Be sure of 3 dimensional matrix i.e. database, jdk and drivers.
Hope this helps
Thnks,
Vikram

Clob DataType, NULL and ADO

Hello,
First, I'm french so my english isn't very good
I have a problem with Oracle Clob DataType. When I try to put NULL value to
CLOB DataType with ADO, changes aren't not made.
rs.open "SELECT ....", adocn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
rs.Fields("ClobField") = Null ' In this case, the Update doesn't work
rs.update
rs.Close
This code works if I try to write a value which is different than Null but
not if is equal to Null. Instead of having Null, I have the old value
(before changes), the update of the field doesn't work.

I experience the same, did you find a solution to your problem?
Kind regards,
Roel de Bruyn

Difference between CHAR and VARCHAR2 datatype

Difference between CHAR and VARCHAR2 datatype
CHAR datatype
If you have an employee name column with size 10; ename CHAR(10) and If a column value 'JOHN' is inserted, 6 empty spaces will be inserted to the right of the value. If this was a VARCHAR column; ename VARCHAR2(10). How would it handle the column value 'JOHN' ?

The CHAR datatype stores fixed-length character strings, and Oracle compares CHAR values using blank-padded comparison semantics.
Where as the VARCHAR2 datatype stores variable-length character strings, and Oracle compares VARCHAR2 values using nonpadded comparison semantics.
This is important when comparing or joining on the columns having these datatypes;
