Run a Oracle Function from Crystal?

HI It appears that there is an important field that is not part of the database I was given. This field is in fact to be used as a break field as well. It appears that the easiest way to get this is to run an Oracel Function to return this field, the patients Paycode.
Is this possible to do within Crystal Reports?
Or if not, what would you suggest to do?
Thank you,
Phil

You can add parameters to the Command data source, which can then be used in the SQL. The SQL can call the database function, but I don't know the Oracle syntax. For MS SQL, it's be something like
select db_function({?parm1}) ... /* if it is a function that returns a value */
or
execute db_function({?parm1}) /* if it is a stores procedure that returns a table */
HTH,
Carl

Problem calling Oracle function from Access 2007 / ADO

Hopefully, I'm posting this in the correct forum. I'm also posting on an Access forum as I'm not entirely sure where the issue lies.
I'm calling an Oracle function from Access 2007 using an ADO Command object.
The function takes three input parameters and has a return value and an output parameter. The output parameter is a BLOB, and the return value is varchar2 (either "T" or "N") based on the outcome of the function.
If I pass correct values to the function, I get the following error message (errs out on the command.execute line):
Run-time error '-2147467259 (80004005)':
[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
ORA-06512: at line 1
Here's the function:
FUNCTION GET_ITEMREV_ATTACH(P_ORGANIZATION_ID IN NUMBER,
P_INVENTORY_ITEM_ID IN NUMBER,
P_REVISION IN VARCHAR2,
X_DRAWING OUT BLOB) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
RESULT VARCHAR2(1);
BEGIN
RESULT := 'T';
BEGIN
SELECT L.FILE_DATA
INTO X_DRAWING
FROM FND_ATTACHED_DOCUMENTS AD,
MTL_ITEM_REVISIONS_B IR,
FND_DOCUMENTS_TL D,
FND_LOBS L
WHERE AD.ENTITY_NAME = 'MTL_ITEM_REVISIONS' AND
AD.PK1_VALUE = IR.ORGANIZATION_ID AND
AD.PK2_VALUE = IR.INVENTORY_ITEM_ID AND
AD.PK3_VALUE = IR.REVISION_ID AND
AD.CATEGORY_ID = 1001216 AND
D.DOCUMENT_ID = AD.DOCUMENT_ID AND
D.LANGUAGE = 'US' AND
L.FILE_ID = D.MEDIA_ID AND
IR.ORGANIZATION_ID = P_ORGANIZATION_ID AND
IR.INVENTORY_ITEM_ID = P_INVENTORY_ITEM_ID AND
IR.REVISION = P_REVISION;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
RESULT := 'N';
END;
RETURN(RESULT);
END GET_ITEMREV_ATTACH;
Here's the VB code I'm using to call the function:
Private Sub Command8_Click()
Dim CMD As New ADODB.Command
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim Param1 As ADODB.Parameter
Dim Param2 As ADODB.Parameter
Dim Param3 As ADODB.Parameter
Dim ParamBlob As ADODB.Parameter
Dim ParamReturn As ADODB.Parameter
Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
With conn
.ConnectionString = "Driver={Oracle in OraHome92};Dbq=OAPLY;UID=***;PWD=*******"
.CursorLocation = adUseClient
.Open
End With
Set CMD = New ADODB.Command
Set CMD.ActiveConnection = conn
CMD.CommandText = "immi_attach_pub.get_itemrev_attach"
CMD.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
Set ParamReturn = CMD.CreateParameter("RESULT", adVarChar, adParamReturnValue, 1)
CMD.Parameters.Append ParamReturn
Set Param1 = CMD.CreateParameter("P_ORGANIZATION_ID", adInteger, adParamInput, 1, 6)
CMD.Parameters.Append Param1
Set Param2 = CMD.CreateParameter("P_INVENTORY_ITEM_ID", adInteger, adParamInput, 4, 5207)
CMD.Parameters.Append Param2
Set Param3 = CMD.CreateParameter("P_REVISION", adVarChar, adParamInput, 2, "04")
CMD.Parameters.Append Param3
Set ParamBlob = CMD.CreateParameter("X_DRAWING", adLongVarBinary, adParamOutput, 200000)
CMD.Parameters.Append ParamBlob
CMD.Execute , , adExecuteNoRecords *** this is where the error occurs
conn.Close
MsgBox CMD.Parameters("RESULT")
End Sub
I've tried using different data types for the varchar2 parameters (adVarChar, adBSTR, adChar) with no difference.
If I pass a bogus value for Param3...."'04'"...the function returns "N" indicating that it actually executed something. But, when I pass the correct value "04", it returns the above mentioned error.
I can execute the function in PL/SQL just fine, so I'm thinking there's something wrong with the parameters, datatype, or other definitions on the Access side.
Does anyone have any thoughts? I'm at a dead end with this. Sorry for the long post. Thank you.

I tried your code with 11107 ODBC/client/database (but with a NULL output blob for convenience sake) and got no errors.
If you're using 92 ODBC/client, you may want to try upgrading to something more current, or at least getting the latest patch(9208) to see if that helps. Since it works for me I'm guessing it may be a resolved bug in that version.
Hope it helps,

How to use oracle functions in Crystal Reports XI using Oracle Server

Hi all,
Is it possible to use oracle functions in Crystal Reports XI using Oracle Server as Data Source.
If i try to use a procedure,i am getting error with message "Invalid Arguement Provided".
Functions are not visible objects like tables,views and stored procedures.
The jdbs driver i m using is oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.

I think it is not possible to add functions in crystal directly for any database. You need to use those functions in a stored procedure and add that storedprocedure as a datasource.

Pass string array to Oracle function from Web page

Hi. I need to pass a two-dimensional array of string values to an Oracle function from an ASP.NET page. Is there an efficient way to accomplish this? I'm thinking I'll have to create a long string with special delimiters,
|12345^4.000|67890^3.670|.....
I'd parse the string on Oracle and break it into its component parts. In this example, each "record" is separated by the bar "|" and each field is separated by the up arrow "^". So each record has two fields.
Is this a good approach? Your input is much appreciated. Thanks.

In PL/SQL, it is easy enough to define a record type with two attributes and declare a store procedure that takes in an array of those parameters. I know that from Java it is possible to create and pass in such an array. I would suspect that the same is possible from .Net but I am not a competent .Net developer.

}Basically you just ignore the refcursor outbound parameter.
This is a stored function, have yet to try outbound refcursor parameters in stored procedures...

Calling oracle function from Access passthrough query does not return list

Thanks to the help I received in an earlier post I've created an oracle 10g function that returns a list after executing the sql it contains. It works in oracle, using sql developer.
I need to have the list that it returns show up in MS Access via a passthrough query. It's not working so far. The connection string etc is ok, I'm able to use passthrough queries to run sql strings successfully. But when I try to call the function via the Access passthrough query at first nothing seems to happen (ie no list appears) and if I try to run it again, there is a odbc error 'call in progress. Current operation canceled'. There are only the three records in the table. I'm missing something, can anyone spot it?
The passthrough query looks like this
select * from fn_testvalues from dual
Again that runs in oracle.
To create the testing table and 2 functions see below.
CREATE TABLE t_values (MyValue varchar2(10));
Table created
INSERT INTO t_values (
SELECT 'Merced' c1 FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT 'Pixie' FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT '452' FROM dual);
3 rows inserted
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fn_isnum(p_val VARCHAR2) RETURN NUMBER IS
n_val NUMBER;
BEGIN
n_val := to_number(p_val);
RETURN 1;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
RETURN 0;
END;
Function created
testing the table:
SELECT val, fn_isnum(MyValue ) isnum
FROM t_values;
VAL ISNUM
Merced 0
Pixie 0
452 1
Now the function that is called in the passthrough query:
create or replace function fn_testvalues
return sys_refcursor is
rc sys_refcursor;
begin
open rc for
Select t_values.*, fn_isnum(MyValue) IsNum from t_values;
return(rc);
end fn_testvalues;

lecaro wrote:
OK. But obviously there is some oracle object that one can call via an Access pass-through query which returns rows?Just to clarify. You could fetch data in Access from an Oracle function that returns a ref cursor using VBA editor. To use a pass-through query Oracle function should be a table function or pipelined table function:

    BEGIN
        FOR v_rec IN testvalues_cur LOOP
          PIPE ROW(v_rec.testvalues_obj);
        END LOOP;
        RETURN;
END;
/To test it in Oracle:
SELECT *
FROM TABLE(fn_testvalues)
VAL             ISNUM
Merced              0
Pixie               0

Call Oracle Function from ASP++++!

I have a lot of Oracle function in packages and i would like use it in my ASP pages.
With Oracle procedure it's all right.
Sample like this
set cn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
connString = "Provider=MSDAORA.1;Data Source=<>;User ID=<>;Password=<>"
cn.Open connString
SQL = "{call test.test_asp({resultset 0, cResult})}"
Set cmd = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")
Set cmd.ActiveConnection = cn
cmd.CommandText = SQL
cmd.CommandType = 1 'adCmdText
Set rs = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.RecordSet")
Set rs = cmd.Execute
If NOT (rs.BOF and rs.EOF) Then
Do while NOT rs.EOF
<%=rs("dfcountry")%>
<%=rs("dfname")%>
rs.MoveNext
LOOP
End if
And in package TEST i have
PROCEDURE TEST_ASP(cResult IN OUT ResultCursor)
IS
BEGIN
OPEN cResult FOR
SELECT *
FROM tcountry;
END TEST_ASP;"
I Hope You help me with similar call a function!!!
For example, this is one
FUNCTION test_fun
RETURN resultcursor
IS
vres resultcursor;
BEGIN
OPEN vres FOR
SELECT *
FROM tcountry;
RETURN vres;
END test_fun;

Stored Procedures
When executing an Oracle PL/SQL stored procedure using a command, use Oracle native syntax or the ODBC procedure call escape sequence in the command text:
Oracle native syntax: BEGIN credit_account(123, 40); END;
ODBC syntax: {CALL credit_account(123, 40)}
Preparing Commands
OraOLEDB validates and fetches the metadata only for SELECT SQL statements.
Command Parameters
When using Oracle ANSI SQL, parameters in the command text are preceded by a colon. In ODBC SQL, parameters are indicated by a question mark ("?").
OraOLEDB supports input, output, and input/output parameters for PL/SQL stored procedures and stored functions. OraOLEDB supports input parameters for SQL statements.

Calling oracle function from access

does anyone know if it s possible to call a oracle pl/sql function from access ?
thx in advance
Andre

As long as you do not need a return value from the procedure, you can call it from Access.
Create a QueryDef object as a sql pass through query. Make sure that you set the ReturnsRecords property of the QueryDef to false. Set the SQL property of the QueryDef to the correct syntax to execute your procedure, then call the Execute method of the QueryDef object.

Calling ORACLE Functions from within CF Builder report

Hi, I have an ORACLE function that I would like to call from within my CF REPORT.
I know there is a section in the report builder where you can write coldfusion code to perform tasks, but I would rather simply call the ORACLE function for each detail row in the report
I do not want to call this function from within my main ORACLE query that I use for the report, so please don't suggest that.
Thanks so much.

6.0.5 is not certified against 10g database, so I suggest to upgrade to 6.0.8.26 (6i patch 17) first to see if the problem is gone.

Help regarding the calling of a oracle function from the OTL.

Hi,
I created a Oracle function like get_employee_id() which will return the employee id if the name and department exists.
If not exists it will insert the record and return the emp_id.
get_employee_id(name,department)
if name and department exists id will be returned
else record will be inserted and emp id will be returned.
emp_id is a sequence which will be triggered to auto increment.
Problem is::
Not getting a correct way to access get_employee_id() from OTL interface.
I am trying like
query << "BEGIN :3<int> := get_employee_id(:1<char[128]>,:2<char[1024]>); END;" ;
otl_stream oos(1, query.str().c_str(), db());
oos << emp_name ;
oos << emp_dept ;
while(true){
oos >> emp_id ;
if(!oos) break ;
Please let me know what is the correct way of accessing this.Thanks for the help in advance.

Sorry, I posted this on another forum. C++ Call Interface (OCCI)

Authorization to run a bps function from web

Hi gurus,
We have a layout that the users will access from web. For this we have created a Web Interface. This layout has also a planning function that calls an abap program.
We have created a profile and the user is able to access and run that function from GUI, however from WEB that fuctions does not run the abap.
The user already have the following authorization objects: S_ICF, S_DEVELOP, R_BUNDLE, R_PLEVEL, R_WEBITF, S_RS_ICUBE, S_RS_IOBJ, but it looks like something is still missing.
I´d appreciate any help
Thanks,
Pablo

You may want to run Su53 and see the error.
You need to grant authorizations for the BPS objects that may be called when the web inyterface executes.
PL take a look at the link:

Passing parameters (range) to ABAP function from Crystal report

Hello experts,
Iu2019ve created an ABAP function which receives parameters from a Crystal report . It works very well with simple parameters.
In my crystal report I can see the fields with the prefix u201CI_u201D in the field explorer, and I can use this fields in my Function Modules perfectly.
The problem is to pass parameters like range or multiples values.
I would like to know how to put this parameters into the low and high values of the range and receive them in my Function Module in the ABAP layer.
Thanks in Advance,
