SQL loader : how to populate a calculated feild of a table?

Hi All,
I have a table which has total 92 columns, among them 6 feilds are calculated using few other fields of the same table.
i have a csv file , which has only 86 feilds .
during upload data using sql loader, is it possible to calculate other 6 feilds and upload them along with 86 fields ?
Or any other method to populate the calculated values?
Thanks in advance,
Archana

Hi Archana,
You can have a script file with the required update commands and execute that script after the Loader loads the data to have them updated.
But it is not a good practice to store the calculated values in the fields.
Whenever required you can have them as a calculation in your select statements instead of storing them in the table.
Unfortunately if the base values get changed you would be forced to recalculate and store them if you have them in the table.

S.Muthukumar.

Where we wrote the code to populate the calculated values in custom screen?
You have any idea please guide me

As your screen fields should be global variables in SAPLXQQM, you may initialize them by implementing function module EXIT_SAPMIWO0_008 which also belongs to SAPLXQQM (Customer Exit: Transfer Notification Data to User Screen)

Sql loader how import a file with save the actual row number in a db field

but if one of the when clause faild or some rows are
rejectet the sequence is not right.Did you read the link?
"If a record is rejected (that is, it has a format error or causes an Oracle error), the generated sequence numbers are not reshuffled to mask this. If four rows are assigned sequence numbers 10, 12, 14, and 16 in a particular column, and the row with 12 is rejected, the three rows inserted are numbered 10, 14, and 16, not 10, 12, and 14. This allows the sequence of inserts to be preserved despite data errors. When you correct the rejected data and reinsert it, you can manually set the columns to agree with the sequence."
also if you read multiple lines and they inserted in
the wrong order the number from the sequence is not
the line number...what do you mean with "reading multiple lines and wrong order?"

How can i pass calculated value to internal table

Hi
i have to pass calculated value into internal table
below field are coming from database view and i' m passing view data into iznew1
fields of iznew1
             LIFNR LIKE EKKO-LIFNR,
             EBELN LIKE EKKO-EBELN,
             VGABE LIKE EKBE-VGABE,
             EBELP LIKE EKBE-EBELP,
             BELNR LIKE EKBE-BELNR,
             MATNR LIKE EKPO-MATNR,
             TXZ01 LIKE EKPO-TXZ01,
        PS_PSP_PNR LIKE EKKN-PS_PSP_PNR,

             KNUMV LIKE EKKO-KNUMV,
             GJAHR LIKE EKBE-GJAHR,
and now i want to pass
one field ED1 which i has calculated separatly and i want to pass this value into iznew1
but error is coming that iznew1 is a table with out header line has no component like ED1.
so how can i pass calculated value to internal table iznew1,

When you declare your internal table , make an addtion occurs 0
eg . data : begin of iznew occurs 0 ,
                fields ...
   add the field here ed1.
           end of iznew.
now when you are calculating the value of ed1,
you can pass the corresponding value of ed1 and modify table iznew.
eg
loop at iznew.
iznew-ed1 = ed1.
modify iznew.
endloop.

poeh     15.0
zpgiht     21.0
At the examples is everytime used a id column, to ident which row should import in which table.
But at my case i need something like a where condition from which file the data should be imported....how should it look?
Can someone give me an advice how a controlfile should look which import both tables in one controlfile?

It is not possible to combine the last 3 columns as those columns are seperated by commas and in the SQL Loader control file you must ve specified COMMA as an delimiter. So u better have all the columns in the table plus add one more column which holds the concatenation of the 3 columns.

SQL*Loader: How to load multi-line report data?

Hi,
is it possible to use SQL*Loader to load data from a hierarchical structured fixed column ASCII file like this
001 scott
New York 01.01.2002 1234
Chicago 15.10.2001 9876
002 smith
Los Angeles 24.12.1999 5678
Washington 01.12.1999 0000
Chicago 01.01.2000 1111
into one database table:
id name city day code
001 scott New York 01.01.2002 1234
001 scott Chicago 15.10.2001 9876
002 smith Los Angeles 24.12.1999 5678
002 smith Washington 01.12.1999 0000
002 smith Chicago 01.01.2000 1111
The number of lines per name is unlimited, the next line starts after a separating ---- line.
We cannot change the format of the text file to import.
There is an example in the documentation that shows how to load a structure like the following via insert triggers:
001 scott New York 01.01.2002 1234
Chicago 15.10.2001 9876
002 smith Los Angeles 24.12.1999 5678
Washington 01.12.1999 0000
Chicago 01.01.2000 1111
But we have the name information on a separate header line, so I don't know if we can use a similar technique here.
regards
Sven

Try enclosing your strings with e.g. a double-quote. To do so, the control file needs the following (example):
LOAD DATA
REPLACE
INTO TABLE test
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
id1,
id2,
id3,
id4,
)of course this does mean that your data must change...

There are various ways that you could do this. I have demonstrated one method below. I created a table with two columns, then used SQL*Loader to load the data from the text file into those two columns. Skipping the header rows is optional. You could also use an external table instead, if the text file is on your server, not your client. I then used some PL/SQL to create and execute "create table" and "insert" statements. This is just some starter code. You will need to make modifications to handle other data types and such that were not in the example that you provided, but it should give you the general idea.

SQL LOADER: how to load CLOB column using stored function

Hi,
I am a newbie of sql loader. Everything seems to be fine until I hit a
road block - the CLOB column type. I want to load data into the clob
column using a stored function. I need to do some manipulation on the
data before it gets saved to that column. But I got this error when I
run the sql loader.
SQL*Loader-309: No SQL string allowed as part of "DATA" field
specification
DATA is my CLOB type column.
here is the content of the control file:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'test.csv'
BADFILE 'test.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'test.dsc'
REPLACE
INTO TABLE test_table
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
codeid          BOUNDFILLER,
reason          BOUNDFILLER,
Checkstamp     "to_date(:CHECKSTAMP, 'mm/dd/yyyy')",
"DATA"          "GetContent(:codeid, :reason)"
All references are suggesting to use a file to load data on
CLOB column but I want to use a function in which it generates
the content to be saved into the column.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Sql loader, how to get decimals into the database?

oracle 10.2
we have data of the form
1.10
1.11
we are using "decimal external" in the control file.
The table is a straight number field
I did a test where I created a table with a number field and without and precision and did regular inserts. I got the decimal values.
so I did
create table x (y number);
insert into x values (1.10);
insert into x values (1.11);
and i got back
1.1
1.11
when we sql load we get
1
1

Why use decimal external then? What's wrong with leaving the field as number?

I don't think so.
SQL> create table t (
2 rowid number);
rowid number)
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-00904: : invalid identifierPlease post your version number and the DDL for the table.
Best practice in Oracle is to NEVER, EVER, store a ROWID: They can change.
After you have solved the first problem, that you've never actually built the table, the solution to the sequence use is to make the call in your DML.
INSERT INTO t (testcol) VALUES (<sequence_name>.NEXTVAL);

SQL Loader: How to load binary files

Hi All,
I need to load a binary file into the database (BLOB) using SQL Loader. What I have are only two files. The first file is an attributes file that contains the file names, the file sizes, the file descriptions, etc. The second file is a binary file that contains ALL the files described in the attributes file. They are concatenated in the same order that the attributes file names them.
This data load is different from any other that I've encountered before because I am familiar with loads that have separate files.
I'm sorry if this is not the right board to post this question, but I'd greatly appreciate any help.

SQL*Loader - How to combine Flat File 3 columns and put into one single column

Receive a flat file delimited by comma. Want to combine Flat File last 3 columns and put into one single column(Table).
e.g.
Flat File
100,239,30,20,30
While inserting into table want to combine last 3 columns and insert into invoice number column.
302030

It is not possible to combine the last 3 columns as those columns are seperated by commas and in the SQL Loader control file you must ve specified COMMA as an delimiter. So u better have all the columns in the table plus add one more column which holds the concatenation of the 3 columns.
