SQLEXEC not able to filter extract on sql statement or function call.

Question

hi all,
i'm trying to do some basic extract filtering using a stored function and am not having much success.
i started off using a procedure call but have been unsuccessful getting that working, i've simplified
it to use a sql statement calling a function for a value to filter on, but cannot even get that to work.
i've read through the documentation and i cannot figure out what is going wrong.
any help would be much appreciated.
thx,
daniel
function code is very simple, just trying to get something working.
FUNCTION f_lookup_offer_id(v_offer_id IN offer.offer_id%TYPE)
RETURN company.name%TYPE IS
lv_company_name company.name%TYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT c.name
INTO lv_company_name
FROM orders a, offer b, company c
WHERE a.offer_id = b.offer_id
AND b.company_id = c.company_id
AND a.order_id = v_order_id;
RETURN lv_company_name;
END f_lookup_offer_id ;

BEFOREFILTER),
FILTER (@GETVAL (ck_offer.is_company = "Google, Inc."));
does not give any errors, but also does not capture any data, it's filtering everything out and trail files are empty, minus a header.
thoughts or help?

Answer 1

got it working, this seems to be about as simple as i could formulate it. thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
TABLE GGS_TEST_EXT, &
SQLEXEC ( ID co_count, &
QUERY " select f_lookup_company_name(:P1) x from dual ", &
PARAMS ( P1 = company_id), BEFOREFILTER), &
FILTER ( @GETVAL (co_count.x = 0) );
then i have a function that returns 1 or 0, depending on the company id passed in.
thx,
daniel
