SQLLDR - Filler column has length 4000

Hi All,
This is a continuation of below threa, which is already marked as answered.
Re: sqlldr - filler columns exceeds maximum length
DB version : 10.2.0.1.0
We are getting a CSV file with 127 fields. We require to load first 9 fields and the 127th field using SQLLDR. What is the best way to specify this in Control file?
Currently we are giving like
   C10 filler char(4000),
   C11 filler,
   C126 filler,
   column_name
   1. Is there any other better approach available?
2. We are gettiing issues when, filler columns exceeds maximum length(4000). We tried to give like
              c10 filler "substr(:c10,1,100)",
   But it gives syntax error.What could be the work around for this?
Thanks in advance,
Jeneesh

Tried like
C115 filler char(4000) TERMINATED BY "||",
C115 filler TERMINATED BY "||",Both taking as
C115                                 NEXT 4000      O(") CHARACTER
(FILLER FIELD)
    Terminator string : '||'
{code}

Please note that using EXTERNAL TABLEs or other methods is not feasible for us.

Hi jeneesh,
Did you try,
c10 filler char(4000)from docs
The syntax for a filler field is same as that for a column-based field, except that a filler field's name is followed by FILLER.Best regards

Upload data from excel where one column has text of 3000 characters

Guyz,
I have a query. One of my requirments is to upload data from excel sheet & create a material. In the excel sheet one of the columns has text for BASIC DATA TEXT under ADDITIONAL DATA of a Material. This is a text of running length.
the selection screen has feature of file upload & the users will upload excel files from their respective presentation servers.
Now my problem is that I need a function module which can convert this column in excel sheet into an internal table & later call the BAPI for MM creation.
I have used TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP & when i read my internal table to check this column length, it shows only 255 characters where as data in the excel sheet has 3000 characters (say for eg.)
Can anybody throw some light on this.
Thanks in advance
GPK

Hi,
You can try using this function module and see that whether all your data is coming into the internal table properly.
MS_EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT
For the other part you needed to convert the internal table data into the structure as need by the BAPI and then call the create BAPI to create the materials in the SAP System.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Samantak.

How to create a view indicating column's length?

SQL>create table abc (a number(12));
I want to create a view cde with a length of number(5) by "describe cde" in sql*plus.
SQL>create view cde(a) as select a from abc;
SQL>desc cde
A NUMBER(12)
how to create a view indicating column's length? the actual value in abc only <1000
I want to create a view cde with a length of number(5) .
SQL>desc cde
A NUMBER(12)
Thank You
Ming-An Zhang

This does not make sense. How can a view be a NUMBER(5) and the actual column a NUMBER(12)?
What happens if there is a 10 or 12 digit number in the table? Just what is the view suppose to do? Crash and burn? Where is the logic in that?!
If the table's column has an incorrect precision and size, THEN FIX IT!! Do not hack it with view!
It is silly purposefully building constructs into the database that can easily result in run-time errors.

Column name length exceeds maximum allowed

Hello,
I get this error when am trying to create a table. ERROR: Column name length exceeds maximum allowed length(30).
Is it able to extend this length to be more than 30 ? By the way I am using Oracle 11g

Zero fill and max length VC7 Compile to WebDynpro not working

Hi,
i try to call Customer get list and set the attributes zero fill and max length to the input table form.
But the user has to put in the exact length and zero filled.
Any idea what to do
Thanks
Uwe

Hi Uwe,
if I understand your question you need something like an alpha conversion.
You can use a formula, therefore is an textfunction called LPAD(text,len,pad).
You can use it like this:
LPAD(@yourtext, 18, "0")
@yourtext contains the input, the length is 18 and filling values is 0 like a alpha conversion.
Best Regards,
Marcel

Column Name Length of Tables In ODI

Hello Everyone,
I am facing with an unique issue in ODI. We are using ODI AIA for Integration, which has default XML exports of some JD Edwards tables.
These tables are automatically reversed and models are created using AIA, one such file is named Base.xml and is reversed as a Model named 'Base' in ODI. In this model there are various tables which are created on the basis of the contents of XML file. The column names are derived from XML Tags. Some XML tags are having length greater than 30. This does not create a problem in the model as such, but when using it as source in interface, the temporary tables that are created on-the-fly in a schema (Oracle) does not allow the length to be greater than 30 and hence the interface fails (error : Column name length exceeded), add to it, ODI suffixes column names with a Cnumber_. Since the XML file and tags are standard within the AIA, we cannot alter the length.
So is there a way to reduce the column name length of temporary tables which are created at runtime by ODI based on the source XML files ?
Thanks in advance,
NJ

If you are using temp table that are created on the fly, you can not control the column length, so you have only one alternative just change the column name (less than 30) in model level.
Thanks

i HAVE AN iPad iii. iT HAS about 4000 photos on it. I just bought a new PC and the IT people did not copy all the photos from the old computer but they are all on my Ipad.
Is there a way to upload those photographs to ITUNES and have them stored on my computer. Or if I synch, will all those photos vaporize because they are not on my computer.

Create new table , 1 column has large amount of data, column type ?

Hi, sure this is a noob question but...
I exported a table from sql server, want to replicate in oracle.
It has 3 columns, one of the columns has the configuration for reports, so each field in the column has a large amount of text in it, some upwards of 30k characters.
What kind of column do I make this in oracle, I believe varchar has a 4k limit.
creation of the table...
REATE TABLE "RPT_BACKUP"
"NAME" VARCHAR2(1000 BYTE),
"DATA"
"USER" VARCHAR2(1000 BYTE)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
TYPE ORACLE_LOADER DEFAULT DIRECTORY "XE_FTP" ACCESS PARAMETERS ( records delimited BY newline
skip 1 fields terminated BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' MISSING FIELD VALUES
ARE NULL ) LOCATION ( 'REPORT_BACKUP.csv' ))

Re: Increasing Column Header Length While Printing in ALV Grid

Hi
For some column headers in a report, the translations in Turkey are more than 40 characters, because of which while executing the report in TR language, the column header is getting truncated.
So, I would like to know if we can increase the column header length while printing the ALV Grid(OO ALV) output.
Or else, Is there any way where we can divide the column header into 2 rows.
Please let me know.
Thanks and Regards,
Vishwa.

Jose and Sivaram,
Thanks for replying.
The problem we have is with the column headers, there is a limit of 40 characters for the column header in ALV reports. So, increasing the outputlen also did not help.

Vishwa.

Print out a column value only if another column has a specific value (CASE Statement)

Hello all,
I tried many hours to find a solution for the following request but wasn't successful. Maybe you could help me.
I've using the already existing SQL Views in Microsoft Service Manager to do some basic reporting about my tickets.There is no closed date in the activity tickets so I decided to print out the lastmodified timestamp when the status is "closed".
That's my query:
SELECT DISTINCT
dbo.DisplayStringView.DisplayName AS Status,
CASE WHEN dbo.DisplayStringView.DisplayName = 'Closed' THEN dbo.DisplayStringView.LastModified ELSE 'NO CLOSED Date' END AS ClosedDate
FROM dbo.MTV_System$WorkItem$Activity$ManualActivity LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.DisplayStringView ON dbo.MTV_System$WorkItem$Activity$ManualActivity.Status_8895EC8D_2CBF_0D9D_E8EC_524DEFA00014 = dbo.DisplayStringView.LTStringId
Unfortunatelly I'm not getting the value from dbo.DisplayStringView.LastModified. SQL outputs that it is not possible to convert the string to date/time.
I think there is a problem with the CASE statement in combination with a value select.
Any ideas how to print out a column value only if another column has a specific value?

I think it is the other way if you want the missing date shown as a string.
CASE
WHEN
dbo.DisplayStringView.DisplayName
=
'Closed'
THEN
Convert( varchar(10),dbo.DisplayStringView.LastModified
, 101) ELSE
'NO CLOSED Date'
END
AS
ClosedDate
