Sqloader - DECODE FOR DATE

Hi could u please assist me as to how to use a decode function in a control file for sql loader to replace a certain row with datatype DATE...
OPTIONS (DIRECT=TRUE) UNRECOVERABLE
LOAD data REPLACE
PRESERVE BLANKS INTO TABLE <tablename> FIELDS TERMINATED BY "Ï" TRAILING NULLCOLS
date_field DATE DECODE(:date_field,0,"01/01/1900")
Is what I have done correct.
Please assist.
What abt the remaining rows which have different values, will those be taken as is...
Thanks
Maira

hi Jens,
I did try as u suggested but I'm getting the folowing error.
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table <tablename>.
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01841: (full) year must be between -4713 and +9999, and not be 0
Any suggestions.

When connected to wifi, I get an error message saying "cannot decode raw data"

While I am at school, I can connect to the wifi, however I can only access google, and the apple website. When I try and google something to work on a project, I get a messgae that says "Cannot Decode Raw Data" it is getting rather annoying, and I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. The only time I have gotten this message is while at my school, it has worked before but only started this recently.
Is there a quick fix for this? Is it something caused by the wifi at school?
Thanks in advance.

Decode variant data w/o using 'Variant To Data' function.

I need to decode variant data w/o having foreknowledge of the type used to create it. That is, I'm using the 'Flattened String To Variant' function which gives me the info I need, but it's all contained within one indicator. I need some way to break this info down into its constituent elements.
For instance, let's say I have the flattened data and type descriptor from a cluster with two elements, a boolean and a string, but not the structure itself. Passing this flattened data and/or the type descriptor into a function, I would get a 2D array (or the like) as output containing the name of the boolean (its label), its value, and the name of the string and its corresponding value.
There must be a way to
do this, and I suspect it's been done already, but I can't find any reference to it.
I have attached a file named Test.vi which demostrates this problem.
Remember, even though I know the name of the control, I won't know the type, so I cannot use the 'Variant To Data' function to deference these values. I can make ready use of DLLs, CINs, or LabVIEW code for the solution.
Thanks ahead of time for any help! Greg

You might be able to take advantage of the Variant to Flattened String VI from the Advanced>>Data Manipulation>>Variants pallette. This VI converts a Variant to a flattened data string and a type descriptor. The type descriptor is explained in ap note 154. You might be able to create a VI that would parse data from the flattened data string using the type descriptor. You might have to represent each piece of data as a flattened string to work around the data flow issues in LabVIEW.

Decoding pdf data which was encoded as a single string

I am storing a single (very large BLOB) string which is a base64 encoding of a .pdf file.
If I try to decode the string I get a corrupted .pdf file.
Below is the code I'm using to decode...
blob_len := dbms_lob.getlength(pdf_blob);
offset := 1;
amount := 78;
DBMS_LOB.CREATETEMPORARY(blob_dec,true);
loop
if offset >= blob_len then
exit;
end if;
dbms_lob.read(pdf_blob,amount,offset,dec_buffer);
dbms_lob.append(blob_dec,utl_encode.base64_decode(dec_buffer));
offset := offset + amount;
end loop;
NOTE: I know the inital .pdf is fine because if I take the same .pdf file and encode it via Oracle's utl_encode.base64_encode facility, I can decode the data without any issue.
I do notice that the utl_encode.base64_encode creates individual lines of 76 characters in length with CR's at the end of each, whereas the string I need to work with is a single long string of 201,433 characters.
The string is coming in from an external webservice so I cannot influence its format.
I can't read in the string in a single dbms_lob.read call as iIm restricted to the size of the buffer RAW definition (i.e. 32767 ).
Any help appreciated.
anthony.

ascheffer,
Thanks for your reply.
I set the offset to 78 because all examples on the net had this figure.
I've just changed the offset to 76 as per your suggestion, and I can't believe that this works.
You're a hero!!!
Thanks,
Anthony.

"Cannot Decode Raw Data" Message with Ebay

Regularly when i'm using Ebay Safari fails to load the web page with the following error:
Safari can’t open the page “http://my.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyeBay&gbh=1&&_trksid=m38&guest=1”. The error was: “cannot decode raw data” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1015) Please choose Report Bugs to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
This happens all the time on Ebay, but has never happened on any other website. Has anyone else run into this before? Any ideas what is the cause?
I am using a Macbook Pro with Leopard 10.5.4.

So, it's almost impossible to find anything on the 'net or on the Apple site regarding this problem. This puts a major cramp in my browsing activity as, in order to bookmark a page using delicious.com I would need to copy and paste everything into Firefox and go from there, bouncing back and forth between the two on a regular basis. Soooo, until then, I guess I will be giving Firefox a try.
This is another bug that could really use some immediate attention. It's affecting eBay and delicious, for sure. Who knows what else is being affected.

I think you have to take out the 'MM' part of the date to compare in the decode. By the way, PROG.DATE is really a column name? DATE is a reserved word.

Getting the message cannot decode raw data when accessing a Joomla website.

Getting the message cannot decode raw data when accessing a Joomla website.I can acess the homepage but cannot get on to look at any of the products. Have tried using other peoples iphones to view the same website and the same error appears works fine in a web browse or android.

Was the other iPhone the same model, running the exact same iOS, accessing the website through the same App?
Try using Google Chrome. Do you still have the issue?
Edit: Just realized you said that the other iPhone had the same issue.
Here's how troubleshooting works.
Look for a single common element.
If two iPhones cannot connect to a particular wi-fi router (but CAN connect to other wi-fi routers, like a public one at McDonalds), does that suggest a problem with BOTH iPhones, or a problem with that wi-fi router?

MB5B Report for Date Wise Stock and Value

Hi,
I am Taking MB5B Report for Date Wise Stock and Value.
But I have one doubt all stocks is coming or not in these report like Unrestrected Stock,Return Stock.Blocked stock,Transist stock,Restrected Stock,qty Inspection Stock.
I have another Doubt in these report three Stock type indicaters are there like these.
1.Storage Location / Batch Stock
2.valuated Stock
3.Special Stock.
But i have one doubt what is defferent these
1.Storage Location / Batch Stock
2.valuated Stock

Hi Prasad,
Yes MB5B report consider the Unrestricted, Quality, Blocked, Transit stock and restricted stock. Not sure about Return Stock.
If you select the Storage location/Batch stock radio button then the system will display all the possible stock from the storage location and the corresponding batch also.
If you select Valuated stock radio button then system will show only the valuated stock not the Non-valuated stock. Because Non-valuated material type is available in SAP system will not show those stock suppose if you select the Valuated stock radio button.

HT201250 Can I partition my external hard drive and use one partion for time machine and the other one for data that i may want to use in different computers?

I have this doubt. I've just bought an external drive, especifically a Seagate GoFlex Desk 3 tb.
I want to know if it is recomendable to make a partion exclusively for time machine and let another one so I can put there music, photos, videos, etc that I should need to use or copy to another computer.
May half and half, 1.5 tb for time machine and 1.5 tb for data.
I have an internal hard drive of 500 GB (499.25 GB) in my macbook pro.
Any recommendation?

As I said, yes. Be sure your Time Machine partition has at least 1 TB for backups.
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to two (2). Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.

Data folder can not be opened in finding " AirPort Time Capsule " The operation can not be completed because the original item for " data" does not exist .

Hi
I have a " AirPort Time Capsule " (firmware 7.7.3) When I try to open the data folder in "finder". Then I got the message " The operation can not be completed because the original item for " data" does not exist". I have a lot of data and I can understand why I get this message?
Anyone who can help? Thanks..

Get a USB drive of 2TB or more.. assuming your TC is 2TB. Either preformatted Mac or plug into your Mac and format it standard Mac OS Extended Journaled in disk utility.
Do a full archive of the TC. You do this using airport utility. Do not click the erase disk.. I marked in green.. just the archive.. that is to backup the internal disk to the USB disk. It is not fast.. take it that the process will go at around 40-50GB/hr.
Once you complete the archive .. it is a direct image of the data on your TC.. you can then plug it into your computer directly.. and then try and open the files you lost.. if you cannot open them.. open disk utility and fix the permissions.
http://osxdaily.com/2015/01/13/repair-disk-permissions-mac-os-x/
Or try the methods apple recommends..
OS X Yosemite: Set permissions for items on your Mac
It is possible to fix things on the USB drive because it is locally mounted.. but you cannot fix it on TC which is network drive.

Why am I being charged for data when connected to wifi AND not using my phone?!

WHY am I being charged for data that I'm not using? At times when I'm asleep AND my phone is connected to wifi?! This happens at really specific, alternating times like 9:54 pm every day, or 12:01 am, 6:01 am and then 12:01pm and 6:01pm. When I called I was told "maybe your wifi at home is disconnecting" or "maybe your phone is connecting to atnt or sprint". It's not possible that my phone is disconnecting from wifi every six hours on the dot and, at that exact time, I'm always using data. I find it hard to believe that I live in a HUGE city and my phone magically connects to other networks and I NEVER notice this. Verizon is full of LIARS (and maybe’s) and I'm not convinced that these data charges are a coincidence. I was told to turn off my cellular data to see if the problem resolves itself. Why should I alter my daily life when Verizon is clearly the one with the issue? I hope there's a class action lawsuit because Verizon is trying to get over on everyone! I need answers!

Hello NotHappy101,
I think it's quite odd that your data usage is at very specific times. We can certainly take a closer look. Please reply to my Direct Message, so we can get some additional details.
Thanks,

I have been a loyal customer for years and have a hot spot because internet options are very limited in our rural area. I have stayed with 10G since the beginning. Most months I don't use the 10G. Verizon has no problem with me paying for Data I don't

I have been a loyal customer for years and have a hot spot because internet options are very limited in our rural area. I have stayed with 10G since the beginning. Most months I don't use the 10G. Verizon has no problem with me paying for Data I don't use. This month my daughter comes home from College and she accidentally uses 24G.....14 over get blind sided with $140.00 in overages. I called Verizon today......stopped in to the store today......My neighbor told me they waved charges for her one time. Lots of charges.....But I'm am getting no help. Not even an offer of a payment plan to help me out. I went back just 6 months and I have over paid for 19G.....Seems like they would like to help out their loyal customers!!!! Does anybody have any suggestions on how to deal with them? We are not wealthy....or I would just pay this and walk away......

There is a big misconception in what customers believe a cell carrier is obligated to do.
You pay a set price to use up to that amount of xx data. It makes no difference if you use it to the paid limit or way under. Its like peace of mind when you don't have to worry about a data counter.
Your daughter used the data, your plan is quite clear of what overage charges are. Why should or would Verizon wireless just forgive the charges because you are a customer? Your daughter used the data, get the money from her. That is the responsible thing to do.
There is no "I have been a loyal customer so please remove the $120, or $250, or $2,000.00 since I did not mean to use it"
Your electric company, or gas company or any other company does not remove valid charges. Why should Verizon wireless?
Just pay the invoice and don't think you are being mistreated because Verizon is a business and not a charity.
Good Luck

Issue with table ROOSPRMSF entries for data source 0FI_AP_4

Hi Experts,
I am facing with an issue where we found incosistencies with table ROOSPRMSF in R/3 system.
In BW , we have done initializations based on fiscal period selections (none of the selections overlap) for data source 0FI_AP_4.
We have done in total 7 initializations. So in BW system in table RSSDLINITSEL we have 7 initialization requests.
But in R/3 system we have 49 records for data source 0FI_AP_4 in ROOSPRMSF table out of which 42 are invalid records.
I suspect that these 42 invalid records are created due to the execution of program RSSM_OLTP_INIT_DELTA_UPDATE when the tables ROOSPRMSF are actually holding the 7 initialization request entries. Due to this each and every initialization request is linked to rest of the other intialization requests and ended with 49 records in table ROOSPRMSF table.
Now our data loads are running fine but daily a short dump is raised . In the daily loads, BW init records in RSSDLINITSEL are compared with ROOSPRMSF entries and all the other 42 records which are invalid are written into system log and a short dump is raised.
In order to fix these inconsistencies i checked for OSS note 852443. (Point 3 in OSS note)
But it is specified to delete the delta queue for data source 0FI_AP_4 in RSA7 and instructed to execute the program RSSM_OLTP_INIT_DELTA_UPDATE so that the ROOSPRMSF table will be reconstructed with valid records available in RSSDLINITSEL.
From OSS note 852443 point 3
"3. If the RSSDLINIT table in the BW system already contains entries, check the requests listed there in the RNR column in the monitor (transaction RSRQ). Compare these entries with the entries in the ROOSPRMSF and ROOSPRMSC tables with the INITRNR field. If, in the ROOSPRMSF and ROOSPRMSC tables for your DataSource source system combination, there are more entries with different INITRNR numbers, use transaction RSA7 in an OLTP source system to delete all entries and then use the RSSM_OLTP_INIT_DELTA_UPDATE report mentioned in the next section. For a DataMart source system, delete the entries that you cannot find in the RSSDLINIT table using the procedure described above."
My question is if we delete the delta queue in RSA7 then all the tables in R/3 (ROOSPRMSF, ROOSPRMSC, Time stamp table) and BW (RSSDLINITSEL, initialization requests will be deleted) will be cleared. Then how will the program RSSM_OLTP_INIT_DELTA_UPDATE copy entries into ROOSPRMSF table in R/3 ?
Could any one please clarify this ?
Thanks
Regards,
Jeswanth

Hi Amarnath,
Did you unhide the new field in RSA6 and regenerated the DataSource?
Often SAP will populate newly added fields (belonging to the same (set) of table(s) used for extraction) automatically (e.g. SAP uses 'move-corresponding' in it's extractor-code, or, in this case, reading all fields from the DD, FM BWFIU_TRANSFORM_FIELDLIST).
If the DataSource looks fine to you and the field is still not populated in RSA3 you can't go without a user-exit.

Marco
