Usage of rowidtochar function with Forms 4.5

Hi,
While using rowidtochar function with sqlplus it works fine. While, if same is used with Forms 4.5 gives an error 'Identifier "rowidtochar must be declared"'.

Do you have the sources? It is going to be hard to determine what is going on if you don't have them.
I cannot imagine that a week's appointment list is a lot of data. Maybe there are a lot of lookup fields in the form?
You can look in the database what queries are running and see if there is a particular query that takes a lot of time.

Form function, with security password on ipad

Hi.
I've been trying to create an acrobat form with form filling function - for people to type in to during an event on their ipads. BUT we want it to have a secure password. The idea is that the people attending the events download the document prior to the event, but can't open it until they are given a password at the event. It means we can save the surprise.
The problem is, I can't seem to save a PDF document, with a fillable form function that you can save, AND give it a password. Once i add the password function, this seems to stop the form being fillable, on the ipad. I've tried loads of different ways to write it, and different versions of acroabt from 9, X, & XI. Tested it out on Acrobat Reader and on ipad. Am I going mad?
If it's not possible, are there any genius' (plural of genius?!) out they with an idea how to work round this. I don't think ipads can open .zip files either (had thought to password protect one of those!).
Oh orginal form created in Indesign 5.5, but also reopened and save in Indesign CC.
Thank you

It doesn't work with Adobe Reader, which should be considered a bug, but it does work with Readdle's PDF Expert, which is not free.

Error 222 no function with name "populate_list"

Hi all, I am getting the following error when compiling a trigger:
Error 222 at line 46, column 16
no function with name "POPULATE_LIST" exists in this scope.
Does anyone know whats going on here. Thanks.

POPULATE_LIST is a procedure.It does not return any value.
Just see if your code is trying to assign POPULATE_LIST to any variable.Refer form help for correct usage of this built-in.

How can I use JavaScript extention functions with Xalan for transforming XML with XSL

While transforming standart XML and XSL files to HTML with this servlet:
package mypackage1;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import org.mozilla.javascript;
public class Servlet2 extends HttpServlet
private static final String CONTENT_TYPE = "text/html; charset=windows-1252";
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
super.init(config);
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)throws ServletException, IOException
try
response.setContentType(CONTENT_TYPE);
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Source xmlSource = new StreamSource(new FileReader("c:/aaa.xml"));
Source xslSource = new StreamSource(new FileReader("c:/bbb.xsl"));
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(xslSource);
transformer.transform (xmlSource, new StreamResult(out));
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
everything is going ok,
but when try to use javascript function in XSL file, for example like in this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

return d.toUTCString();
</lxslt:script>
</lxslt:component>
<xsl:template match="/">
<p><xsl:copy-of select="my-ext:getdate()"/></p>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
recieve error-message:
XSL-1000: (Fatal Error) Error while parsing XSL file (Extension function namespace should start with 'http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/'.).
What kind of namespace I should specify?

Hello, Paul.
I'm sure you may not use JavaScript as a language for creating XSLT extention functions with Oracle XDK Parser. This is since parser might have JavaScript interpreter to work with JavaScript, but it has not.
If you need to build any XSLT extention functions you must build them as Java class' static methods.
After that, you define the usage of the class by mean of namespace declaration as:
xmlns:your-ns="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/yourpackage.Yourclass"
(Prefix "http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/" may differs if you use non-Oracle XML parser)
and use class' static method in XSLT:
<xsl:value-of select="your-ns.staticMethodName(paramsIfAny)"/>
In your case you may wish to use standard Date class:
xmlns:date="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/java.util.Date"
<xsl:value-of select="date:toString(date:new)"/>

A function with a list of data

I need to get a list of names from a function so that i can avoid creating seperate functions for each names...
could anyone give a syntax for it?
I dont want to have a procedure but a function will be good
thanks

I am using crystal reports to show names of a bunch of people. insted of each name comes form different function inside the oracle package, I would like to have a single function with an array of names so that I can return it easily
eg; board member 1 (from function 1)
board member 2 (from function 2)
board member 3 (from function 3)
I should get something like board member n(from a single function that has n number of members) , so that its easy for managing the list later and reduce the code
This sounds so silly, but i am new to both crystal and pl/sql....
please help

Using WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT functions in forms 6i

I converted my forms from Developper 2.1 to Developper 6i. I was able to read the registry variables using WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT functions to open the explorer or Acrobat reader. With Forms 6i, I am getting the following error : "Internal error : PL/SQL error occured".
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
D2KWUTIL utility is available with Forms 5.0 also. The detailed information about all the functions are available in online help. There is a demo file also, which demonstartes all the D2KUTIL functions.
You can also download the D2KWUTIL from the following FTP site,

Reg an Error: no function with name 'CURRENT_RECORD' exists in this scope

Hi All,
I am getting the following error when i try using Set_Item_Instance_Property for assigning a visual attribute to an item.
This is the code. I have replaced Display_Item with Set_Item_Instance_Property for setting the visual attribute.
--DISPLAY_ITEM(lv_cur_item, 'VA_CURRENT_BUTTON');
SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY(lv_cur_item,CURRENT_RECORD,VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,'VA_CURRENT_BUTTON');
no function with name 'CURRENT_RECORD' exists in this scope
Any suggestion regarding this.
Regards,
Prasad.

L.Rajesh - :SYSTEM.CURRENT_RECORD global variable does not exist - use :SYSTEM.CURSOR_RECORD or :SYSTEM.TRIGGER_RECORD instead.
Prasad - what version of Forms are you using? For Forms 6i and higher, CURRENT_RECORD property is a valid reference. (not sure about Forms 5 or earlier as I don't have access to these versions any longer :) ) Are you logged into a database when you compile your code? There might be a TYPO somewhere in your code that the PL/SQL compiler can't determine the cause and CURRENT_RECORD is the first recognizable term the compiler can find. Sometimes, I've had to log out, close Forms Builder and reopen the form I'm working on to eliminate these types of odd compilation errors.
Hope this helps,

From Clause query with form variables

forms 9.0.4 rdbms 9.2
Is it possible to create a From Clause query with form variables generated from another block (but in the same form)? I am not having any success.
I searched Metalink. It appears that according to DOC ID # 69884.1, in Forms 6i, this is not possible. Metalink suggest in DOC ID 104771.1 implementating a dynamic From Clause, but when I duplicate the example on my system, I receive an Oracle error. Further investigation from the web form (DISPLAY ERROR) indicates that the system does not see the dynamic value.
Has anyone else run into this error? Has this been fixed in forms 9.0.4 and I am just missing something? Does a dynamic from clause query work? Can anyone point me to an example or post an example or offer any advise.
thanks in advance

As far as I know it is not possible to use block items in a from clause query in forms 9.0.4. Here is my solution for a From-Clause-Query via the 'Query-Data-Source-Name-Property':
To use the values of the block items in my from clause query I implemented a database package with getter and setter routines for the block item values I needed for the query.
In the Key-Exeqry-Trigger of the From-Clause-Query-Block I set the global package variables with values of the block-items I am interested in. In the From-Clause-Query I used the values in the where-clause via package functions which return the global package variables.
Hope my solution will work for your problem.

Usage of BODS Functions (NVL,DECODE...) are stopping the FULL PUSH-DOWN

Hi,
It seems that the usage of BODS Functions like NVL and DECODE are leading to the partial PUSH-DOWN to the database.
Is there any way to achive to the FULL PUSH DOWN (INSERT INTO DBTABLENAME)?
Regards,
Sudhakar

Hello
The optimiser determines if the whole dataflow can be pushed-down. NVL and DECODE can be pushed-down to most databases, so its something to do with how you've built the dataflow.
Things that stop full push-down
1 - custom functions
2 - complex statements
3 - datatype conversions
3 - complex dataflows with many transforms
4 - some specific tranforms (DQ, pivot,etc.)
With a bit of trial and error, you should be able to figure out which is stopping yours.

Optimize a PDF doc with form fields

Hi All,
I have completed a PDF with multiple form fields (about 70). It's only one 8.5 x 11 page. It is 2.2 mB large. I've tried different ways of Optimizer but it always removes the input field functionality.
How can I decrease file size while maintaining the integrity of the form? Thank you so much in advance. PDF attached.
Dina

Generally, the only thing that I remove after creating a pdf file with forms that doesn't effect the fields is to remove embedded fonts. It would be best to to all of the other optimizations before creating the form fields.
That's nice you say, but I've got the form fields already. Try reducing the size (as you have already done), then replace the page in the file with the form fields with the one whose size you have reduced. The form fields should stay. I don't know what happens to the size of the new file, let us know?

Error: PLS-222: no function with name 'V' exists in this scope

In my application, I used the wizard to create a form on a table with Report (2 pages). Then I go to the Report page and I want to test the edit function. This successfully launches the edit Form. When I change the values in the form and then try to save them, I get this error:
Error Unable to process row of table PRODUCER.

I guess my question is: should I be able to run and use the application while in developer mode.
If yes, what am I doing wrong?

Is it possible to call a function with the same name from 2 different dll's at the same time.

I'm trying to call a function ( F ) form 2 different libraries ( A.dll and B.dll ) at the same time. The first lib loaded determines the function F. A->F and B->F have same interface and name but different implementation.

Hi,
I tried it with two dll's, both with the same interface, and at the same
time, in the same VI. The popups even appear at the same time.
But now I understand the problem... Both dll's are created by LabVIEW! If
they are not (or one is not, and the other is), this is no problem.
And VI's in memory cannot have the same name. LabVIEW doesn't care if VI's
are in a dll or not.
This might not help, but if you want to make some sort of "plug in" system,
you might consider using llb's. By loading VI's dynamically, you can select
the path from which they are loaded. You must unload (close all references)
one before the loading the other, or the same problem will occur. If you go
this way, I consider a different approach. Make on
e library (or even a dll)
that has the interface you like, this is the "loader". Now make several
"plug in"'s, with the same interfaces. The name of each function in a plug
in is a concatenation of the library name and the function name. The loader
has one extra function, that loads (and unloads, when done) references to
all desired libraries to use (the names of the functions can be figured out
easily). All that the loader functions do is dynamically call the library
functions. You can use a call by reference node for this (you can use the
connector pane or the loader vi, since the interface must be the same!).
If you go this way, I guess the loader library can be converted to a dll...
Hope this helps.
Wiebe.

Playing music & using non-communication functions with international travel

I'd like to be able to play music and access my contact list on my iPhone while traveling internationally, while temporarily disabling the phone, voice mail, and all incoming and outgoing communications. The roaming fees are just too high while out of the U.S.A.
But does this mean sacrificing being able to use the iPhone's music, contact list, and other functions that don't require a satellite signal? Right now, I'm just turning off the phone when out of the country, for fear of excess charges with receiving voice mails and internet data transfers. It seems like a waste that I can't even turn the phone on to listen to music when I'm traveling.

It does not. Simply activate Airplane mode. This will disable the cellular antenna only (you can even reactivate WiFi). Deactivating the cell antenna will prevent all phone calls, text messages and EDGE/3G data usage.
All functionality that does not require cell service will remain active.

Troubles with forms

It's been months in since moving to Acrobat X and I still can't get it. It's so infuriating with all the menu items moved to the sidebar. Over all I find things take longer now. Good thing I kept version 8 on hand.
But anyway, these are my current headaches:
- how do you GET OUT of form editing mode? In Acrobat 8 you just click the hand tool. In X I click the Preview button to test out the form, but all other non-form functions are disabled. I have to close the file and then reopen it.
- if I select several fields at once and then nudge their position using the arrow keys, it messes up the tab order forcing me to re-do the order. This doesn't happen if I nudge one form at a time but I don't want to nudge 20 fields on their own.
- Click to Set Tab Order has apparantly been removed. I can't find it at least. While the ability to reorder via the list is handy, in many situations the click to reorder is much faster.
And to top it all off, editing forms is slow. There is a lag of a second or 2 after each thing I do. I will be going back to Actobat 8 when dealing with forms.

I do see the same delay, which is why I never edit forms on a Mac. The screen does multiple redraws whenever I open into edit mode, and when an item is added/removed/resized/relocated. It is impossible to get anything done in the Mac version imho, this does not seem to be an issue on PC (at least, not to me).
I also keep older versions around - I almost never use Acrobat X. The interface is horrible (I liken it to Microsoft's switch to the 'Ribbon' in Office) I will agree that it takes a lot longer to do anything (I had to make changes that required me to constantly switch back and forth between different tabs on the sidebar instead of being able to select a single menu item). About the only thing in Acrobat which hasn't been a huge step backwards over the various versions is the Javascript editor (and that's only because they couldn't have made it any worse to begin with!)
I will say this, though - with all of the issues in Acrobat/PDF forms, at least it isn't Microsoft Word. I am forced to work on several forms in Word, and I can tell you that experience is excruciating.

Mouse scroll functionality in forms

Can i have mouse scroll functionality in forms , from the mouse wheel ?

Richard,
I tried FreeWheel on a running form, with interesting results.
If I have a form with only one scrolling block, the mousewheel scrolls the block nicely.
But if I have several scrolling blocks on the form, it always scrolls in the LAST block, no matter where the cursor is. ...makes sense, though --it has no way of knowing which scrollbar in the Forms window to activate.
