Using substring function in the Universe

What is the correct syntax of using the substring function in the Universe?
I need to extract the numbers and decimal between the #'s, and the character length varies:

A1S#0.25#
To: 0.25
Please help! Thanks!

There are ticket details in the text - I replaced certain letters with x, o, or a. I thought you would need the total number of characters in the text.

Using substring function in the dashboard prompt

Hi,
I want to use a function in the dashboard prompt.
Example: Subject Area:Paint --> Products --> Color
I want to take second letter of color, describe a label for it and use this label in prompt. The formula is below;
CASE WHEN (SUBSTRING(Products.Color FROM 2 FOR 1) = 'a') THEN 'AAA' ELSE 'BBB' END
Dashboard prompt should list 3 choices; All choices, AAA, BBB.
When selecting AAA in the prompt, these colors should be listed in the request; Carriage House Red, Dante, Manchester Red.
I created a dashboard prompt (add a function) and a request. When selecting AAA in the prompt, it sends "AAA" as prompt, not sends "a". So I couldn't reach the result.
Is it possible? Could anyone help me ASAP?
Thanks & Best Regards,

Create a column in the logical layer using the same formula that you described. Then use the new column in the prompt. Then add the new column to the report as 'is prompted'.

How to use Substring function with Case statement.

Hello Everyone,
I have one requirement where I have to use substring function on the field for report criteria.
E.G.
I have Branch Name Field where I have all branch names information, Now some of the branch names are too big with some extension after the name .
now i want to substing it but the character length varies for each branch.
so is there any way where we can use case statement where we can define that if branch name character are exceeding some value then substing it with this length.

Try something like this:
CASE WHEN LENGTH(tablename.Branch_Name) > n THEN SUBSTRING(...) ELSE tablename.Branch_Name END
where n is the number of characters you want to start the break.

Hi
If I understood correctly your logic, and if the columns involved are of type varchar2, you can use the like operator:
and a.invoice_num like l.invoice_num || '%'
and c.invoice_num like mgr_apprv_lst.user_key || '%'
and c.invoice_num like pbl_apprv_lst.user_key || '%'In this case, Oracle will be able to use the indexes. If they are numeric, you need to do something like:
and a.invoice_num between l.invoice_num * 1000000
                            and l.invoice_num * 1000000 + 999999I hope this makes sense...

SUBSTR function in the where clause

HI
I want to get a number of 15 digits from a column where the user only know the last 10 digits.
So that when the user enter a number with 10 digits, only the record of that specific number should be displayed.
And then when the user did not enter any number all the records in the table should be displayed.(this part works fine)
The problem is: when the user enters any last digits( last, second last, thirth last and so on) the records which satisfy this are retrieved, which is not supose to be the case.
I' am trying to use the substr function in the where clause but I'm not sure if it's working or not becasue the result of the query is just the same as before i used the substr.
Thanks

Using substring function with error

Hi Guys,
I have a source field with 1200 characters which need to map to multiple target segments for 132 count of this source field.
This is not a mandatory field so it sometimes come without any value.
I am using substring function to breakout the string for every 132 characters and mapped to the target segments.
There are two problems, first it seems that if source is blank, there will be error.
Second, if source field come with only eg. 300 characters, error will also occurs.
I have searched thru SDN and try some of the UDF but to no avail.
Appreciate your guidance on this problem.
Regards
FNG

How to use SQL functions in the queries

hey guys i wanna know how to use SQL functions in the queries is it possible or not .

Hi,
Wat exactly that set values are?
those from sql query?
How to use count():
The COUNT() function returns the number of rows that matches a specified criteria.
SQL COUNT(column_name) Syntax
The COUNT(column_name) function returns the number of values (NULL values will not be counted) of the specified column:
SELECT COUNT(column_name) FROM table_name
SQL COUNT(*) Syntax
The COUNT(*) function returns the number of records in a table:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table_name
SQL COUNT(DISTINCT column_name) Syntax
The COUNT(DISTINCT column_name) function returns the number of distinct values of the specified column:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT column_name) FROM table_name
The IN function helps reduce the need to use multiple OR conditions.
The syntax for the IN function is:
SELECT columns
FROM tables
WHERE column1 in (value1, value2, .... value_n);

How to use db2 function in the HQL

hello
i am newbie to hibernate, now i am choosing a solution for my project, in this project, it use db2 function in the sql clause as follow:
insert into idstool.access(userid,node,password) values('userid','nodename',encrypt('password','nodename'));
i wonder if i can implement such function by using hibernate, that is if hibrenate can use the db2 function, or user-defined sql functions? if yes, how?
thanks for any helps

I think you'll find that you can do this through HQL. You also have the option of invoking a stored procedure or invoking native SQL in tandem with the normal Hibernate options.

Substring Function without the length!

I know I have seen this before, but cannot find it when searching.
I need to do something similar to the Substring function, where I start from position 4, but the length behind this position is variable.   Due to the IDOC it only passes the value...
I think I possibly saw a UDF for this somewhere - unless I can use some standard mapping!
It is probably very simple - but it is late in the day and my eyes are square! = )
<i> I need a drink......</i>
Can anyone help?

For substring function, you have 1 input and 2 parameters (you set the parameters by double-clicking the function box).
I also didn't understand how you can pass the output of length function two 2nd parameter of substring function (since it is a parameter and not an expected input).
You could always create a UDF...
public String UDSubstring(String a,String b,String c,Container container){
int d = Integer.parseInt(b);
int e = Integer.parseInt(c);
if ((e == 0) && (a.length() >= d)) {
    return a.substring(d);
else if ((e > d) && (a.length() >= e)) {
    return a.substring(d, e);
else return "";
They don't bite, you know...

Henrique.

REGEXP_REPLACE: How to use a function over the found strings?

Hello,
Consider the following:
select regexp_replace('A1BBCCA2BBCC', '(A.)', '[\1]')
from dual
'[A1]BBCC[A2]BBCC'Now I try to put a function on the replaced strings:
select regexp_replace('A1BBCCA2BBCC', '(A.)', lower('[\1]'))
from dual
'[A1]BBCC[A2]BBCC'The result is the same i.e. the function lower has been executed with my reg. expression as a parameter, not the result strings. How can I execute the function passing as a parameter not the reg. expression but the strings, that have been found? (Of course, my real need is to use a custom function, not "lower").
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Beroetz

I'm sure there must be a simpler way, but this is my first thought... (although strictly speaking in this example I could get rid of the lower function and just include 'a' hardcoded.)

Writing more than one channel to a file using Xaincnbg VI from the Universal Library

Hi,
Could anyone help me with writing more than one channel to a file? I am using the Universal Library version 5.40 with LabView 7.0 with the Xaincnbg VI.
With one channel everything in my program works beautifully, but when I add another channel and graph and wire it to the Write LVM only one channel ends up being written to the file. It seems like there should be some function that works to add the two output arrays or something of the sort, but I can't seem to find it.
If anyone has come across this problem or knows of how it might be solved, I would really like to hear about it!
Thanks

Oops, forgot to attach the files...
And, pics of the VI's, in case you don't have LV8.2

New to FIOS TV Multi-room DVR - Should I be able to use DVR functions from the other HD STBs?

We just converted from Directv (three DVRs) to FIOS TV and am hoping I didn't make a huge mistake: The sales agent I spoke to said that the Multi-room DVR (Motorola QIP-7216-1) and non-DVR STB would enable me to get the same features I had with my Directv setup so each user could Stop/Start/Record programming from their own remote. Unless I'm doing something wrong, I can only perform DVR control functions from the real DVR. I can view recorded programming on the non-DVR STBs but pressing record for a live broadcast or trying to select a show to record from the guide doesn't work.
I have the ActiontecGen2 MOCA connected MI424WR router, three HD STBs (Motorola 7000), one standard definition STB and the DVR.

As you've found, you can only create recordings from the DVR. If you want each room to have the ability to schedule recordings, then you need a separate DVR in each room.
The FiOS Motorola DVRs cannot access recordings stored on other DVRs.
