because the sum of fwencum_Amount_encumber for grant 420420 would be greater then the 124,783.52 under the fwencum_grant_Total
i have tried doing this but i keep getting errors can i get a little advise.
here is my poor attempt
DELETE fwencum

Hi,
Thanks for posting the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statemnts; that's very helpful.
It looks like only 3 columns play any role in this problem. If so, why are you posting 16 colummns?
One way to do what you want (as I understand the problem) is to do a Correlated Sub-Query , where the sub-query references something in the main statement, and therefore (potentially) does something different for each row in the main statement, like this:
DELETE     fwencum       m     -- m is for main
WHERE     fwencum_grant_total < (
                    SELECT SUM (fwencum_amount_encumber)
                    FROM     fwencum
                    WHERE     fwencum_grnt     = m.fwencum_grnt
;

Need help with the session state value items.

I need help with the session state value items.
Trigger is created (on After delete, insert action) on table A.
When insert in table B at least one row, then trigger update value to 'Y'
in table A.
When delete all rows from a table B,, then trigger update value to 'N'
in table A.
In detail report changes are visible, but the trigger replacement value is not set in session value.
How can I implement this?

You'll have to create a process which runs after your database update process that does a query and loads the result into your page item.
For example
SELECT YN_COLUMN
FROM My_TABLE
INTO My_Page_Item
WHERE Key_value = My_Page_Item_Holding_Key_ValueThe DML process will only return key values after updating, such as an ID primary key updated by a sequence in a trigger.
If the value is showing in a report, make sure the report refreshes on reload of the page.

Help with this update statement..

Hi everyone,
I am trying to update a column in a table .I need to update that column
with a function that takes patient_nbr and type_x column values as a parameter.
That table has almost "300,000" records. It is taking long time to complete
almost 60 min to 90 min.
Is it usual to take that much time to update that many records?
I dont know why it is taking this much time.Please help with this update statement.
select get_partner_id(SUBSTR(patient_nbr,1,9),type_x) partner_id from test_load;
(it is just taking 20 - 30 sec)
I am sure that it is not the problem with my function.
I tried the following update and merge statements .Please correct me if i am wrong
in the syntax and give me some suggestions how can i make the update statement fast.
update test_load set partner_id = get_partner_id(SUBSTR(patient_nbr,1,9),type_x);
merge into test_load a
using (select patient_nbr,type_x from test_load) b
on (a.patient_nbr = b.patient_nbr)
when matched
then
update
set a.partner_id = get_partner_id(SUBSTR(b.patient_nbr,1,9),b.type_x);
there is a index on patient_nbr column
and the statistics are gathered on this table.

Hi Justin,
As requested here are the explain plans for my update statements.Please correct if i am doing anything wrong.

Help with removing/deleting medical collection!

Hello!! I am new to this forum and I am so glad that I found it. The wealth of information shared on this site is remarkable. Thank You All!!! I am looking for guidance with removing/deleting a medical collection from my CR. I researched the HIPPA process and guidelines (which I know cannot be discussed on this site) but I have not heard back from the creator. My question is has anyone had success with removing a medical collection without using the HIPPA process? If so, can you please share your strategy with me? The CA is Sav-it Enterprises in NJ and the amount owed is $300 from 2011 and I am willing to pay in full, today, in order to get it deleted. I sent them a pay for delete letter and they sent me the statement from the doctor's office and updated the account with the CRA. However, I did notice that the date of first delinquency is incorrect, if that even matters. I don’t know what I should do now or how I should move forward with getting it deleted. Any information you can share with me will be extremely helpful. This is the only remaining collection account that I have and I need it removed in order to increase my scores to qualify for a mortgage. Thanks in advance.

Yes, I do have proof that they date is incorrect - its off by 1 year. Also, the billing statement they sent me shows the date as 2011 but they are reporting it as 2012. I also have explanation of benefits from my insurance provider which confirms that date as 2011. Okay. I will call them today to offer full payment and then send a GW letter shortly after paying. I really hope it works because I really need to get this removed.

Help with a CASE statement

Please help me with a CASE Statement:
- When ID = 15, 16, 17, 18 then "Bad"
- when ID = 19, then "Average"
- when ID = 21, then "Good"
- else "Null"
Thank you!!

Well the 1st thing to do would be to correct my poor spelling... change    Delault : to Default :
Don't know why you would get an error stating "The result of selection formula must be a boolean". It's working fine on my machine.
If your ID field is numbers stored text you have a couple different options...
1) Convert the ID to a number...
Select ToNumber({home.noone_ID})
2) Wrap the ID values in double quotes...
   Case "15", "16", "17", "18" :
      "BAD"
Even if this were your problem... the error should be something other than the boolean thing...

Looking for some help with building insert statements...

Hi, I am using some sql to build some insert statements for me to update a set of tables in our qa environments. The scripts that I have created were working great until someone added a column to some of the tables in the qa env which in turn makes my scripts break because I was simply building the statment to do someting like this...
insert into dest_table (select * from source_table@dblink);
But now when the coumns in the tables do not match it breaks...
This is the dynamic create script I use, can anyone help or suggest a better way to be able to build update statements update to qa tables when the columns are mismatched?
spool insert.sql
select
'insert into ' || table_name || ' (select * from ' || table_name || '@prod );' || chr(10) || ' commit;'
from user_tables
where table_name in

any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks.

Help with multiple case statements

Hello,
I am new to BO. I am on XI 3.0. SQL 2005. In Designer, I am trying to create a measure in a financial universe that would end up being multiple case statements within one select. This is what I tried to do, but it doesn't work with the two case statements. Can I use an ELSE leading into the second CASE WHEN somehow? How can I accomplish this? Sorry for my ignorance!
CASE WHEN dbo.ClientBudgetYear.DateStage1Approved > 01/01/1900 AND dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Month = 12 THEN dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Stage1Sales END
CASE WHEN dbo.ClientBudgetYear.DateStage1Approved > 01/01/1900 AND dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Month = 11 THEN dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Stage1Sales END
Any Suggestions?
Thanks,
Holly

Holly,
I don't know enough about your data or requirement to provide a solution, however, the construct that you post will not work because it causes you to build an object with multiple case statements when only one case statement per object is permitted. From what I see in your code I would be inclined to combine the two statements into one as such:
CASE WHEN dbo.ClientBudgetYear.DateStage1Approved > 01/01/1900 AND dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Month in (11,12) THEN dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Stage1Sales else null END
Thanks,
John

        no_cnvrt     TYPE c,
END OF t_frgroup.
This is what it looked like after I made the changes:
DATA : BEGIN OF t_frgroup OCCURS 0,
    BEGIN CHANGE 02/11/03
        hazmat       TYPE c,
    END CHANGE 02/11/03

        qtypal       LIKE w_nbr_palletsx,
        qtypce       LIKE w_nbr_palletsx,
        vstel        LIKE likp-vstel,
        no_cnvrt     TYPE c,
        matnr        TYPE lips-matnr,
        vbeln        TYPE lips-vbeln,
        posnr        TYPE lips-posnr,
        qty          LIKE vblkp-lfimg,
        vrkme        LIKE lips-vrkme,
        converted(1) TYPE c VALUE 'N',
END OF t_frgroup.
My issue is, after adding those fields, my collect statement no longer works:
      LOOP AT t_lips.
        MOVE-CORRESPONDING t_lips TO t_frgroup.
        COLLECT t_frgroup.
      ENDLOOP.
I need it to collect with the key being mfrgr. How can I do this? After adding the fields the collect statement now acts as an insert (I assume that matnr is now acting as the key) instead of collect.

Aaron

Hi Aaron,
1. Define the table keys while defining your internal table.
2. The order of the fields in the structure should be that the key fields come first , then the quantity fields and amount fields next.
3. Sort the table by the key fields before the loop.
The collect statment is creating news entries because If the system finds an entry with the key fields , the numeric fields that are not part of the table key are added to the sum total of the existing entries. If it does not find an entry, the system creates a new entry instead. Clearly the system is unable to find the existing entry because the key fields are not defined in your internal table or the fields are are out of order.
Hope this helps.
A simple example depicting this is as follows :
TYPES: BEGIN OF COMPANY,
        NAME(20) TYPE C,
        SALES    TYPE I,
      END OF COMPANY.
DATA: COMP    TYPE COMPANY,
      COMPTAB TYPE HASHED TABLE OF COMPANY
                                WITH UNIQUE KEY NAME.
COMP-NAME = 'Duck'. COMP-SALES = 10. COLLECT COMP INTO COMPTAB.
COMP-NAME = 'Tiger'. COMP-SALES = 20. COLLECT COMP INTO COMPTAB.
COMP-NAME = 'Duck'. COMP-SALES = 30. COLLECT COMP INTO COMPTAB.

Help with an If Statement for a Message Dialog

Hello all! I need help yet once again! I would prefer hints and nudges rather then the answer please, as this is for a homework assignment. Okay I am supposed to write a program that has 3 text boxes to enter a number between 0 and 255 (for red green and blue) and then the user should push the show button and the background color should change, which I have all working! But I am supposed to have a " gracefully handle the situation where the user enters an invalid color value (any number less than zero or greater than 255)" and I have the if statement written, but for some reason, whenever I hit the show button it always pops up that window, no matter what the user types in. So I need help figuring out how to make it stop popping up all of the time! Here is the code: Any other ideas on how to make the code better would be much appreciated!!! Thanks in advance!

Help with Nesting DECODE statements

Hello. I'm trying to write a sql script to generate data report for payments. I need to incorporate specific conditions to SUPPRESS BLANK ADDRESS field lines. I am pulling Address_Line1, Address_Line2, Address_Line3, plus CITY, STATE, ZIP as Address_Line4. If any fields are blank, I need to suppress the blank line and move the other lines up.
Here are my IF, THEN, ELSE conditions. There are 9 possible scenarios that I have identified. Can you please help me write this in SQL with the DECODE function?
IF CITY||STATE||ZIP IS NULL
THEN AD1='12115 Rainbow Road', AD2='Hartford Heights, MO 60226'
ELSE
     IF ADDRESS_LINE1 IS NULL
          IF ADDRESS_LINE2 IS NULL
               IF ADDRESS_LINE3 IS NULL
               THEN USE HOME ADDRESS
               ELSE vAD1=ADDRESS_LINE3, vAD2=CITY||STATE||ZIP
               ENDIF
          ELSE
               IF ADDRESS_LINE3 IS NULL
               THEN vAD1=ADDRESS_LINE2, vAD2 = CITY||STATE||ZIP
               ELSE vAD1=ADDRESS_LINE2, vAD2=ADDRESS_LINE3, vAD3=CITY||STATE||ZIP
               ENDIF
          ENDIF
     ELSE
          IF ADDRESS_LINE2 IS NULL
               IF ADDRESS_LINE3 IS NULL
               THEN vAD1=ADDRESS_LINE1, vAD2=CITY||STATE||ZIP
               ELSE vAD1=ADDRESS_LINE1, vAD2=ADDRESS_LINE3, vAD3=CITY||STATE||ZIP
               ENDIF
          ELSE
               IF ADDRESS_LINE3 IS NULL
               THEN vAD1=ADDRESS_LINE1, vAD2=ADDRESS_LINE2, vAD3=CITY||STATE||ZIP
               ELSE vAD1=ADDRESS_LINE1, vAD2=ADDRESS_LINE2, vAD3=ADDRESS_LINE3, vAD4=CITY||STATE||ZIP
               ENDIF

ENDIF

Hi,
Here is the code along with some sample data. I substitute the "+" symbol for "/" becuase some addresses where using "c/o" in the address line.
The address fields are null, as shown by the query below (ref query results below):
SQL> select address_line1
2 from po.po_vendor_sites_all
3 where address_line1='3457 SOLUTIONS CENTER'
4 and address_line2 is null;
ADDRESS_LINE1
3457 SOLUTIONS CENTERHere is the script:
WITH got_delimited_list AS
SELECT address_line1 || ' +' ||
address_line2 || ' +' ||
address_line3 || ' +' ||
city ||', ' || state ||' ' || zip AS delimited_list
FROM po.po_vendor_sites_all
SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR (delimited_list, '[^+]+', 1, 1) AS vad1
, REGEXP_SUBSTR (delimited_list, '[^+]+', 1, 2) AS vad2
, REGEXP_SUBSTR (delimited_list, '[^+]+', 1, 3) AS vad3

Help with nested if statements

Can anyone see what is wrong with this? The parameter value is 3. I commented out 4-12 to narrow down the issue. If I run it like this, I get 0. However if I comment out 1 and 2 and just leave the logic for 3, I get the actual numbers. Where is it getting stuck?

Kim,
You never get there. Parenthesis will help you what is happening.

All your statements are looking for true values. You need an else statement for each failed if-then test.
if {?Period} = 1
then
(   // 1
   if {FC_COST_AREA_ACT_BUD_UNION.PERIOD_NUMBER} = 1
   then
(   // 2
     if {FC_COST_AREA_ACT_BUD_UNION.FISCAL_YEAR} = year(currentdate)
     then
     (    // 3
         If {FC_COST_AREA_ACT_BUD_UNION.TYPE} = "ACT"
         then {FC_COST_AREA_ACT_BUD_UNION.OTHER_SUPPLIES_AND_MAINTENANCE}
         else
         //what happens if it {FC_COST_AREA_ACT_BUD_UNION.TYPE} not ="ACT"
     )   // 3
     else
     //what happens if {FC_COST_AREA_ACT_BUD_UNION.FISCAL_YEAR} not= year(currentdate)
)   // 2
else
//what happens if {FC_COST_AREA_ACT_BUD_UNION.PERIOD_NUMBER} not=1
)   //1
// the next else is for the first failed if-then test

Need some help with a case statement implementation

I am having trouble using a CASE statement to compare values and then display the results. The other issue is that i want to put these results in a separate column somehow.
Heres how the code would look:
SELECT "Task"."Code",
"Stat" = CASE WHEN "Task.Code" = 1 THEN string
....and so on
I wanted to make "Stat" the new column for the results, and string represents the string to be assigned if 1 was the value for code. I keep getting syntax error, any help would be nice.

This is a lot easier than you might think.
1) First, move another column of "Code" to your workspace.
2) Click on the fx button and then on the BINS tab.
3) Click on "Add BIN" and with the operand on "is equal to/is in," input 1 and then click "OK."
4) Name this what you had for "string."
Repeat for all the different values you want to rename as another "string" value.
5) Finally, check the "custom heading" checkbox, and rename this column "Stat" as you indicated.
That's it.
