Unicode Program : # is appearing for data types declared as char type

Hi friends,
I have copied one program on unicode system to unicode system. As only char type data types are allowed, i converted structure EP to char type only. Now during execution it is giving dump because it is showing value as '#' for 2 fields whos original data type was P and currency. How shall i convert them? Any suggession will helpful.
Abhijit

Hi Sandeep,
This is my piece of code : Initially structure EP was used in read dataset which is of different datatypes. so i created similar structure ep_c with data type as char. As u suggested, i tried to declare field BETRG as type currency. Then also it gave dump. (Runtime errors: UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CHARLIKE). For 2 fields BETRG and POHRS which is of currency and dec type originally, i am getting values as '#' causing in dump. In non unicode program both fields have values as '0.00' If i put these values in debugging then after execution, program comes to selection screen! Kindly advise.
Data : komok(2) type c,
       betrg(18) TYPE c,
         betrg type betrg,
         pohrs(10) type c.
open dataset seq-in for input in text mode encoding default ignoring conversion errors.
      if sy-subrc = 0.
        do.
          read dataset seq-in into ep_c.
          case sy-subrc.
            when 0.
              move :ep_c-id to ep-id,
                    ep_c-text to ep-text,
                    ep_c-abkrs to ep-abkrs,

Domain for data type in Oracle 8i database

Hi Sir,
Does Oracle database supports domain creation for data type.
for example, can I create a domain called shorttext which is VARCHAR2(50). Then when I specify a data type for a column in table, then I just declare the column as domain.
eg. address SHORTTEXT;
--where SHORTTEXT is a domain.
How is this implemented in Oracle database and supported by front end tools like Oracle Developer 6.0.
Hope someone can provide some clear explanation on this.
Thanks.

Date type-specific Customizing missing for date type ACTActPln

Hi all.
I'm using a Web Service obtained by copying the CRM 7.0 built-in WS APPTACTCRTRC.
I'm using it to create Appointments using an Adobe Interactive Form.
It goes everything fine (a Date is created in the system, with all the input data properly set) excepted the dates...
The WS uses two TIMESTAMPS, TIMESTAMP_FROM for StartDateTime and TIMESTAMP_TO for EndDateTime, whereas the GUI transaction to create Dates accepts dates and times in separated fields.
Going in Debug I can see that the execution ends with the following error, referred to the involved entity (CRM_APPOINTMENT):
Date type-specific Customizing missing for date type ACTActPln
CRM_APPOINTMENT uses date profile 0000000001 with three possible date types: ORDERACTUAL, ORDERPLANNED and ORDERPROPOSED and I cannot find anywhere date type ACTActPln (just to add it in customizing).
Is anyone able to enlight me?
Thank you in advance!

PS I've years of experience in Java programming but I'm quite new to the SAP world. Maybe the problem is not a problem at all, but it seems to me as such. Even if it has a trivial solution, please let me know. Thx!

Hi,
Well I was about to write that you should enter date in decimal format. but you already did that as mentioned in How to set a date in a Form where the bound date format is a decimal?
In response to following from above thread (copied for others to understand my response)
Hi all.
I'm successfully using the LiveCycle Designer and I've managed to remotely create Appointments using a CRM Web Service (a mere copy of APPTACTCRTRC).
The only problem I'm encountering is that I'm not able to set the dates/times (start and end of the appointment).
Dragging each of the two fields from the WSDL based Data Connection I obtain a Decimal Field limited to 15 digits.
How can I write a date and time in such a field?
I've tried with a retroverse date as YYYYMMDDHHmmss (for example, 20100301124500) but it does not work
(the appointment is indeed created, but with the start date and time fields filled with
the current date/time and the end date and time fields filled with the current date and time plus 10 minutes).
The retroverse date above is only 14 digit long, so, maybe, this is the problem.
But, given the field definition, I'm not able to fill a blank space between the date and the time.
I'm not able to put a dot either.
What should I do?
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
Alessandro
15 digit in UTC time format here is fraction of second so you should enter 201003011245000 (add one more zero).
14th Oct 2010 16:00 should be written as 201010141600000, so just try it and and see if it works, I guess if you do not supply end time then by default it will be starttime + 10 min but this is just guess.

[Access 2010] Change default formats for data types

Whenever I import data, the default format for Boolean data types is "-1,0." I know how to subsequently change this format to "Yes/No," but I'd like to change the default
setting to "Yes/No." Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I found you post the same question in other place and got the advice. I agree with Mr. Kees suggestion. The data type is a build-in default setting with Access, we can't change it. We may try the workaround via VBA to test.

[Q] Using viewCriteria for Date type

To Query data, I used ViewCriteria.
But it works well for Varchar2, Number type.
But it does not work for Date type.
for example
If I set variables like the below, it works,
attrName = "OrdName";
attrValue = "Nick";
But, If I set variables like the below, it does not work
attrName = "AppDate";
attrValue = "04.5.12";
ViewCriteria vc = order.createViewCriteria();
ViewCriteriaRow vcr = vc.createViewCriteriaRow();
vcr.setAttribute(attrName, attrValue);
vc.addElement(vcr);
order.applyViewCriteria(vc);
order.executeQuery();
Can I solve this problem ?

using a custom expression in the view criteria, ex.
vcr.setAttribute("DateField", "LIKE TO_DATE('" + dateField.toString() + "', 'yyyy-mm-dd')");
similarly, you can use other expressions to remove the default BC4J problems w/ dates (>, <, between) - At least I know you can't use = to get it to work right.
The default handling of BC4J is to say = TO_DATE(whatever you put in the value portion) where it needs to be LIKE to work properly - for some reason - probably a patch is available for it.

Problem in using OCIBindByName for date type column

Hi,
Can you please guide me about my following problem?
I am trying to fetch the data from system table "FLOWS_020100.WWV_FLOW_ACTIVITY_LOG1$" in Oracle Express edition 10.2.0.3 database, using the OCI library on Windows with C++
This table has a TIMESTAMP column of date type.
I've the following query as below:
select TIME_STAMP from FLOWS_020100.WWV_FLOW_ACTIVITY_LOG1$ where TIME_STAMP > to_date('31/OCT/12 23:59:59', 'DD-MON-YY HH24:MI:SS') order by TIME_STAMP asc;
For this, first I am preparing the query as below:
select TIME_STAMP from FLOWS_020100.WWV_FLOW_ACTIVITY_LOG1$ where TIME_STAMP > :PKVAL order by TIME_STAMP asc;
Before calling OCIExecute(), I am setting the PKVAL buffer to following value:
"to_date('31/OCT/12 23:59:59', 'DD-MON-YY HH24:MI:SS') "
& calling the OCIBindByName function with data type as SQLT_DATE.
But when the OCIExecute is called, my program crashes with access violation
Can you please guide me what is the correct way to pass the date value in query to OCI? How do we bind the date values?
Thanks in advance for your time and help.
Best Regards.

I had a similar problem. TO_DATE doesn't appear to function w/ BindByName or BindByPos.
You are going to have to bite the bullet and use an actual date.
Here's an example (I am using two dates in my query):
int main (int argc, char **argv, char **envp)
static text invalidQuery = (text )"SELECT f1.my_val, COUNT(f1.my_val) invalid_count, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM my_db_table f2 WHERE f2.my_val = f1.my_val AND f2.foo_dt = :1 ) total_count FROM my_db_table f1 WHERE f1.foo_dt = :1 AND ( (f1.vld_bar_sw IS NULL OR f1.vld_bar_sw = 'N') OR (f1.vld_foo_sw IS NULL OR f1.vld_foo_sw = 'N') ) group by my_val order by my_val asc";
OCIDate boundDateVal;
sb2 inputYear;
ub1 inputMonth;
ub1 inputDay;
char inputYearStr [] = "0000";
char inputMonthStr [] = "00";
char inputDayStr [] = "00";
/* I get and validate the date as input, but you can set it however you'd like */
inputYear = (sb2) (atoi (inputYearStr));
inputMonth = (ub1) (atoi(inputMonthStr));
inputDay = (ub1) (atoi(inputDayStr));
/* Allocating Date*/
OCIDateSetDate ( &boundDateVal, inputYear, inputMonth, inputDay );
OCIDateSetTime( &boundDateVal, 0, 0, 0);
returnVal = OCIBindByPos(invalidStmt, &firstInputBindHPtr, myErrorHandle, (ub4) 1,
(dvoid *) &boundDateVal, (sword) sizeof(boundDateVal),
SQLT_ODT, /*dty OCIDate*/
(dvoid *) 0, (ub2 *) 0, (ub2 *) 0, (ub4) 0, (ub4 *) 0, OCI_DEFAULT);
if ( !(returnVal == OCI_SUCCESS || returnVal == OCI_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO) )
displayErrors (returnVal, myErrorHandle, "OCIBindByPos-contactDate 1 ");
cleanup();
exit(1);
}//if
returnVal = OCIBindByPos(invalidStmt, &secInputBindHPtr, myErrorHandle, (ub4) 2,

Static input help for DATS type

Hello,
I'd like to link static input help for screen field of DATS type. If I click on help linked to this screen field I get CONVT_NO_NUMBER error: 'Unable to interpret "=2" as a number.'
My steps:
- In Screen Painter I selected desired screen field and selected DATS type and "1 Show at selection" in its details.
- I defined global variable with same name as desired screen field
What's the problem?
Best regards,
Josef Motl

Hi,
do this way.....
first declare the variable in program as
1. data: date type sy-datum.
2. now go to your screen,(click on F6) use get from Program
now choose date form it , and say ok, now save it and activate it.
delete the old one..
now you will be able to get all the things which you want.
automatical validation also possible, and F4 also possible.

Unicode Migration using National Characterset data types - Best Practice ?

I know that Oracle discourages the use of the national characterset and national characterset data types(NCHAR, NVARCHAR) but that is the route my company has decide to take and I would like to know what is the best practice regarding this specifically in relation to stored procedures.
The database schema is being converted by changing all CHAR, VARCHAR and CLOB data types to NCHAR, NVARCHAR and NCLOB data types respectively and I would appreciate any suggestions regarding the changes that need to be made to stored procedures and if there are any hard and fast rules that need to be followed.
Specific questions that I have are :
1. Do CHAR and VARCHAR parameters need to be changed to NCHAR and NVARCHAR types ?
2. Do CHAR and VARCHAR variables need to be changed to NCHAR and NVARCHAR types ?
3. Do string literals need to be prefixed with 'N' in all cases ? e.g.
in variable assignments - v_module_name := N'ABCD'
in variable comparisons - IF v_sp_access_mode = N'DL'
in calls to other procedures passing string parameters - proc_xyz(v_module_name, N'String Parameter')
in database column comparisons - WHERE COLUMN_XYZ = N'ABCD'
If anybody has been through a similar exercise, please share your experience and point out any additional changes that may be required in other areas.
Database details are as follows and the application is written in COBOL and this is also being changed to be Unicode compliant:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
NLS_CHARACTERSET = WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = AL16UTF16

##1. while doing a test convertion I discovered that VARCHAR paramaters need to be changed to NVARCHAR2 and not VARCHAR2, same for VARCHAR variables.
VARCHAR columns/parameters/variables should not by used as Oracle reserves the right to change their semantics in the future. You should use VARCHAR2/NVARCHAR2.
##3. Not sure I understand, are you saying that unicode columns(NVARCHAR2, NCHAR) in the database will only be able to store character strings made up from WE8MSWIN1252 characters ?
No, I meant literals. You cannot include non-WE8MSWIN1252 characters into a literal. Actually, you can include them under certain conditions but they will be transformed to an escaped form. See also the UNISTR function.
## Reason given for going down this route is that our application works with SQL Server and Oracle and this was the best option
## to keep the code/schemas consistent between the two databases
First, you have to keep two sets of scripts anyway because syntax of DDL is different between SQL Server and Oracle. There is therefore little benefit of just keeping the data type names the same while so many things need to be different. If I designed your system, I would use a DB-agnostic object repository and a script generator to produce either SQL Server or Oracle scripts with the appropriate data types or at least I would use some placeholder syntax to replace placeholders with appropriate data types per target system in the application installer.
## I don't know if it is possible to create a database in SQL Server with a Unicode characterset/collation like you can in Oracle, that would have been the better option.
I am not an SQL Server expert but I think VARCHAR data types are restricted to Windows ANSI code pages and those do not include Unicode.

I am supppose to wire up a cluster to a callng library function thru the use of the "adapt to type" configuration.But the program lie in the data types in the struct.

i have call library function that contain two arguement,two inputs i mean.The first input is simply an int which can be easily matched by labview data type.The second input is declared as a structure which i match it thru a cluster by using the adapt to type means.
However,inside the structure there are four variables,two of which is PULONG and the other two is ULONG.Inside my cluster i can match the ULONG by a 32bit unsign integer labview data type but how can i match the PULONG with a labview data type?

There is a great KnowledgeBase entry that discusses using the "adapt to type" option in a Call Library Function, and specifically using clusters.
This KB, titled "I'm Having Trouble Accessing the Members of a Cluster Passed to a Shared Library Such as a DLL" is available at:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/3efedde4322fef19862567740067f3cc/bc2a65c0fe2868a1862566e80067c4e4?OpenDocument
I found this article by going to www.ni.com, clicking on the KnowledgeBase link, and searching for "call library cluster."

Selecting #of bits for data types in Java

hi,
i would like to know if we can constrain compiler on allocating memory to basic data types, such as int, float, short etc. i would like to read an exactly four byte integer into an int, 2 byte short into a short etc. i need to read these parameters exactly of their specified number of bytes - not more or less - as if i read anything more/less, i will be reading a part of other parameter.
i know that C allows us to do this by letting us to specify number of bits we like to allocate for each data type (for eg. unsigned int:16; means i need an unsigned int of exactly 16bits (2 bytes long) -no more and no less).
Is there anything similar i can do in Java?
any suggestion is greately appreciated.
Thanks,

All primitive types in Java are well-defined. In contrast to C/C++, an int in Java is allways 32 bits, using one's complement, a char is allways 16 bits etc.
Java does not give you direct acces to physical memory - that would compromise the basic design of Java.
You can read individual bytes from files, and you can do all the integer arithmetic in Java as you can in C/C++. To convert eg. fout bytes to one int, you could do the following:
byte b1= (some byte value),
     b2,
     b3,
     b4;
int i= (((b1 << 8) | b2 << 8) | b3 << 8) | b4;
b1 being the most significant byte, b4 being the least significant.
Did this answer you questions?

Need help regarding the maximum limit for data type

Hi,
this is Sravan. for my application am inserting the bulk data in XML format into a column of Database table.
the sample inserted XML data will be in format... like
'<ACC count = "10">
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
</ACC>'
this data in XML can have more than 1000 accounts.
now, i need to take a Parameter value from XML node and write into a file. for this i have written a procedure by looping the Nodes from XML data and building Dynamic Query like..
if nvl(v_int, 0) > 0 then
v_sql := '';
     for v_count in 1..v_int
     loop
     if v_sql is null then
          v_sql := 'select extractvalue(empdetails, ''/ACC/Acc' || v_count ||'/@ac_no'')||extractvalue(empdetails, ''/ACC/Acc' || v_count
||'/@cn_nr'')||extractvalue(empdetails, ''/ACC/Acc' || v_count ||'/@eflag'') string from sample1';
     elsif v_sql is not null then
               v_sql := v_sql || ' union all select extractvalue(empdetails, ''/ACC/Acc' || v_count ||'/@ac_no'')||extractvalue(empdetails, ''/ACC/Acc' || v_count
||'/@cn_nr'')||extractvalue(empdetails, ''/ACC/Acc' || v_count ||'/@eflag'') string from sample1';
          end if;
     end loop;
end if;
i will get this variable "v_int" from <ACC count = "10"> ACC count Attribute, here 10 is the value for v_int variable but in real time the variable value can be more than 1000.
at the time of Building Dynamic Query I make using the Variable v_SQL which is of Data Type "Long",
this variable stores dynamic query which is build at the time of executing procedure but this v_sql Variable is throughing Exception that ....
"numeric or value error Character String Buffer is Too Small"... but Long Data type will store upto 2GB..
this variable cant able to hold much data which is dynamically build.
will you please help me to resolve this issue Or will u suggest me another method to pick the data from XML column.
thanks,
sravan.

i changed the code, now its working fine.
