Using Field/Column Date Value In Case Statement

I have code that the first part works (the part that evaluates null). However, it appears the second part doesn't work. The error I get is:
Data Value out of range
Can you use the a table column value in a Case statement? What I'm trying to do is: where all mbr06..values are 12/31/9999, then null; if mbr06.. values are equal to or less than today's date, then put the value in mbr02.mbr02_cancel_proc_date..
Note, the table MBR02 does have dates that go back as far as 11/17/1858..could that be an issue?
Thanks for any assistance..
            cast((case
            when mbr06.mbr06_exp_date = to_date('31-dec-9999') then null
            when mbr06.mbr06_exp_date <= sysdate then mbr02.mbr02_cancel_proc_date

The error is due to the CAST, not to the CASE.
Cause: Value from cast operand is larger than cast target size.Post at least the whole cast ...

Issue with referencing Presentation variables(Date cols) in Case statement

Hi,
I m trying to reference presentation variables created on a Date column in the case statement of one of the request's columns as shown below:
case when "- Quote Details"."Creation Date" between '@{from}{1999-1-1}' and '@{until}{2999-1-1}' then "- Quote Metrics"."# of Quotes" end
I m getting a view display error with the below error message:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 1861, message: ORA-01861: literal does not match format string at OCI call OCIStmtExecute
SQL Issued: SELECT "- Quote Types"."Level2 Name" saw_0, case when "- Quote Details"."Creation Date" between '4/1/2009' and '4/15/2009' then "- Quote Metrics"."# of Quotes" end saw_1 FROM "(Unity) Quotes Catalog" WHERE "- Quote Details"."Creation Date" BETWEEN timestamp '2009-04-01 00:00:00' AND timestamp '2009-04-15 00:00:00' ORDER BY saw_0
When I created the prompt on the date field I put the following formula in the prompt:
cast("- Time".Day as DATE)
When I apply a filter on the request using these variables it works fine.
If anyone has faced this kind of issue earlier and have a resolution, please help me out.
Thanks,
Kartik

Thanks Goran!!
I've created prompts by selecting columns from the logical tables (i.e. I've selected 2 different cols of datatype DATE...inorder to assign 2 presentation variables).
Yes I m using calendar widget for prompts.
I haven't included any filter in my report. I m trying to display a metric when it satisfies the case statement.
I will defintley go through the blogs you mentioned for better understanding.
Thanks,
Kartik

Navigate Value Interaction - Case Statements

Hi,
I am having problems using the navigate value interaction feature in OBIEE. The columns I am using to navigate contain case statement bin filters, is it not possible to use value interaction on these type of fields?
For example bin grouping are created in both reports and are identical but the interaction does not work
. TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_MONTH,CURR... is between 0 and 6
. TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_MONTH,CURR... is between 7 and 12
Can anyone advise a workaround other than creating the column in the rpd.
Thanks

Update column data to Upper Case in parent and child table

Hi ,
I am facing issue while updating column value to upper case in parent table and child table. How can i do that ?
when updating parent row:
ORA-02292: integrity constraint (XXXXXXXXXXXXXX_FK) violated - child record found
When updatng corresponding child row:
ORA-02291: integrity constraint (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_FK) violated - parent key not found
how can i update on both the places ?
Regards,
AA

I am facing issue while updating column value to upper case in parent table and child table. How can i do that ?
Why do you need to do that?
That is just ONE of several questions you should answer before you start modifying your data.
1. What is your 4 digit Oracle version? (result of SELECT * FROM V$VERSION)
2. If both values are the same case what difference does it make what that case is?hen you don't need to alter your original data.
3. What is the source of the column values you are using now? If you change your data to upper case it will no longer be identical to the source data.
4. What is your plan for enforcing future values to be stored in UPPER case? Are you going to use a trigger? Have you written and tested such a trigger to see if it will even work the way you expect?
5. Why aren't you using a surrogate key instead of a 'business' data item? You have just demonstrated one reason why surrogate keys can be useful: their actual value is NOT important.
You should reexamine your problem and architecture and consider other alternatives.
One alternative is to add a new 'surrogate key' column to use as the primary key. Just create a new sequence and use a trigger to populate the new column. Your current plans will require a trigger to perform the case conversion so instead of the just use the trigger to provide the value.
If the change is being done to facilitate searching you could just add a VIRTUAL column UPPER_MY_COLUMN and index that instead. Then you could search on that new virtual column and the data values would still be identical to the original data source.

Using Presentation variables..along with case statements..

Hi All.
I have a issue using presentation variable along with CASE statements. My approach is
1) I have a dashboard prompt, which is being set as Presentation variable.
Based on the value selected in prompt, for ex the values of prompt can be 'ABC' and 'DEF'.
I have a calculated column, the calculation goes this way...
The forumal is
CASE WHEN @{Presentation Variable Name} = 'ABC' THEN xxxxxxxxxx ELSE IF @{Presentation Variable Name} = 'DEF' END. It gives error of "no table being referenced"..
Is this is the right approach??
Can i get the values of variable in a column formula, so that a column can have values selected in prompt?
Can anybody pls help me here..
Thanks in advance...

Hi
Thanks for the quick response..
I agree to ur point..
But the requirement is
Based on the value of the prompt I need to switch the calculation in one of the formula area of one column..
If Prompt value is ABC then one kind of calculation in Fx and If the prompt value is DEF then one kind of calculation in the same Fx..
How can I acheive this?
Thanks in advance..

SQL Expression Field - Combine Declared Variable With Case Statement

Hello All, I have been using Crystal & Business Objects for a few months now and have figured out quite a bit on my own. This is the first real time I have struggled with something and while I could do this as a Formula Field I would like to know how to do this as a SQL Expression. Basically I want to create a SQL Expression that uses a CASE statement but I wanted to make the code a little more efficient and employ a variable to hold a string and then use the variable in the CASE statement. The expression editor accepts the CASE statement OK but I don't know how to declare the variable. Please assist with the syntax?
This is what I have:
CASE
   WHEN u201CDatabaseu201D.u201DFieldu201D = u2018Hu2019 THEN u2018Hedgeu2019
   WHEN u201CDatabaseu201D.u201DFieldu201D = u2018Pu2019 THEN u2018PVIu2019
   ELSE u2018Noneu2019
END
This is what I want:
DECLARE strVar AS VARCHAR(25)
strVar = u201CDatabaseu201D.u201DFieldu201D
CASE
   WHEN strVar = u2018Hu2019 THEN u2018Hedgeu2019
   WHEN strVar = u2018Pu2019 THEN u2018PVIu2019
   ELSE u2018Noneu2019
END

Hi Todd,
Please use the following for loop; your problem will be solved.
Local StringVar str := "";
Local NumberVar strLen := Length ({Database.Field});
Local NumberVar i;
For i := 1 To strLen Do
       if {Database.Field} <i> = "H" then str := "Hedge"
        else if {Database.Field} <i> = "P" then str := "PVI"
        else str := "None"; exit for
str
Let me know once done!
Thank you,
Ashok

Wildcard value in case statement

Hi,
How would I use a wildcard value in my case statement. I evaluate a string value of numbers and try to do this "1234***" but it doesn't work. "***" represents any 3 number.
Please advise.
Thanks
dphan128

You could mark one of the cases as "Default", and that case will execute when no others match. If you want to explicitly run that case only if the first 4 numbers are "1234", then you need to pre-process the string.
See here for the same exact question.

How to use Oracle Table Type values in Select Statement.

Hi,
I am fetching initial set of values into Oracle Table of Records Type and want to use list of values in the Select statement.
For example, try something like the following:
TYPE t_record IS RECORD (
ID TABLEA.ID%type,
NO TABLEA.NO%type,
v_record t_record;
TYPE t_table IS TABLE OF v_record%TYPE;
v_table t_table;
-- Code to populate the values in v_table here.
SELEC ID,NO, BULK COLLECT INTO <some other table variabes here> FROM TABLEA
WHERE ID IN v_table(i).ID;
I want to know how to use the values from Oracle Table Type in the Select Statement.

Something like this:
create or replace type t_record as object (
id number,
no number
CREATE or replace type t_table AS TABLE OF t_record;
set serveroutput on
declare
v_table t_table := t_table();
v_t1 t_table := t_table();
begin
v_table.extend(1);
v_table(1).ID := 1;
v_table(1).No := 10;
v_table.extend(1);
v_table(2).ID := 2;
v_table(2).ID := 20;
SELEC t_record (ID,NO) BULK COLLECT INTO v_t1
from TableA
FROM TABLEA
WHERE ID IN (select t.ID from table(v_Table) t);
for i in 1..v_t1.count loop
dbms_output.put_line(v_t1(i).ID);
dbms_output.put_line(v_t1(i).No);
end loop;
end;
/Untested!

To use Boolean function in DECODE or CASE statement

Hi all
I have a scenario where i need to use a boolean function inside DECODE statement. When i tried this way iam getting "ORA-06553: PLS-382: expression is of wrong type".
I doubt whether i can use boolean function inside DECODE or not?
My query will be like this:
select decode(my_fuction( ),'TRUE',1,'FALSE',0) from dual;
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Sriram

Overloaded functions must differ by more than their
return type . At the time that the overloaded
function is called, the compiler doesn't know what type
of data that function will return. The compiler cannot,
therefore, determine which version of the function to
use if all the parameters are the same.

Hi,
what I understood from above is that u want to filter NULL records and want to display only not null records. Try below query.

Using a comparison to NULL in a CASE statement

Hi, please could anybody advise me if it is OK to use comparison to NULL in a CASE statement. Alternatively, will a NULL be accepted in a to_number function giving a result of a NULL in the number variable?
I have a list of varchar2 values which will either be a number, be equal to '95%' or be NULL. I need to translate that to a number column, removing the % from 95%.
I would like to know if the syntax below is allowed:
CASE vPurity
WHEN NULL THEN
nPurity = '';
WHEN '95%' THEN
nPurity := 95;
ELSE
nPurity := TO_NUMBER(vPurity);
END CASE;
Many thanks.

robust
adj.
1. Full of health and strength; vigorous.
2. Powerfully built; sturdy. See Synonyms at healthy.
3. Requiring or suited to physical strength or endurance: robust labor.
4. Rough or crude; boisterous: a robust tale.
5. Marked by richness and fullness; full-bodied: a robust wine.
By saying "Robust" you are saying that DECODE is somehow stronger or better than CASE. This is not the case (scuse the pun) as CASE is more flexible than DECODE and can be easier to read in the code. CASE also handles non-equality comparisons far easier than can be done in DECODE.

Date formats for SQL statements used by recordset object

Hi,
Date formatting appears to be quite problematic for Business One. I did a forum search for date issues and I don't think I saw any of them with an "answered" status. I have an issue with formatting a date for the creation of an SQL statement that the DI sends to SQL Server 2005. I need to format a date so that the localization parameters don't matter for either the client machine or SQL Server's machine. We don't have a problem as long as our machines are localized as USA.
I have PL 22 and I have a form - ours - where I use the Today() function to fill a date field. So this is a date that is not entered by the user. The result of this function is consistent with the localization parameters on my machine. We have two other date fields on the form where the user must type in the date.
As a test, I changed my machine to the UK parameters. I then set up the language parameters of Business One for English(United Kingdom). I changed the date format specifications in Business One so that its format is dd/mm/yy. I then brought up the form and the field that is formatted by the above function arrived in the form's field as dd/mm/yy. I then typed in the two other dates in the same format and added the record to the database. The form's table is user-defined.
I dismissed the form then brought it back up loaded with the new record. The date that was entered by the function appeared in USA format (mm/dd/yy). The dates that were typed in appeared in the Business One format (dd/mm/yy). This of course is not consistent.
When I looked at what got into the database, the formats were the opposite. Weird! To make matters really confusing, I run an SQL statement within SQL Server Mgt Studio, and use the WHERE clause to filter on the date that was based on the function. It didnt matter what format I used for the WHERE clause, the record came up. Does anyone have any idea about how I can ensure that I always use the correct date format for SQL statements passed by Business One to SQL Server regardless of where in the world the application is being run?
Thanks,
Mike

Ian,
Here's what I'm concerned about: Im using the date in a WHERE clause.
Assume the date is Aug 3, 2007.
"SELECT * FROM Table WHERE StartDate > 8/3/2007"
OR
"SELECT * FROM Table WHERE StartDate > 3/8/2007"
If the client machine is set up as USA, the today function will provide the date as formatted in the first query. If the database server is setup as lets say the UK, I believe that SQL Server query parser will interpret the date as Mar 8, 2007.
If the client machine is set up as UK, the today function will provide the date as formatted in the second query. If the database server is setup as lets say USA, I believe that SQL Server query parser will also interpret the date as Mar 8, 2007.
In both cases it would be wrong.
I know I could use the DATEPART function to get the three parts and this will make the code indifferent to the localization specs of the client machine. I need to then be able to concatenate those date parts for the WHERE clause so that the localization specifications of the database server dont matter.
Thanks,
Mike
