Using variables in a fix statement

I am using a nested fix statement on a dense member and would like to use variables to represent certain intersections. Since the variables need to be within a calc member bloc, where do I place them? Do they go inside the fix statement witht the parenthesis just around teh variables or the last parenthesis at the end of the fix statement?

If you mean substitution variables, they are defined outside the calc script at a dp, app, or server level. They simply substitute their textual value at the place they appear in the script. If the substitution results in a valid calc script where it occurs, then you are fine. So FIX ( &subvar ) could be valid.If you mean temporary variables, they hold intermediate calculational values. The docs say "VAR commands can only be assigned values within a member calculation or when VAR is declared. " That is, you may either say 'VAR tempvar = 1000; ' [declare and set value] or 'VAR tempvar;' [declare only, often at the start of your script] then somewhere in the script 'tempvar = expression;' [value gets assigned]. This last expression would not appear within the parentheses of a FIX ( members ) statement, but somewhere within the FIX block. You would never say FIX ( tempvar ) as it is not an outline member.

Use of attributes in FIX statement w/ other mbrsets

Hi all,I just discovered that in 6.1.4, using a FIX statement like:FIX (@ATTRIBUTE("Diet"), @LEVMBRS(Products, 0))will actually select all products, not just a subset that have the attribute "Diet" (where "Diet" is, of course, an attribute of products).Now you might think I'm ignorant, since it seems logical that the subset "Diet" might be overridden by the superset "Products". However the same problem happens if I use:FIX (@ATTRIBUTE("Diet"), @ATTRIBUTE("Discontinued"))This statement returns neither the intersection nor the union of those two subsets - I seem to get ALL products.What gives? Am I just a foolish country boy?-dan

Does this select ALL of the products, or just the Level 0 products? The reason I ask is that the statement will not be combined using AND logic - only members of different dimensions will be combined using AND logic. Try the following:FIX (@LEVMBRS(Product, 0) AND @ATTRIBUTE(Diet))Now, if your attribute is at level 0 (I assume it is) and you want to select them, just use:FIX (@ATTRIBUTE(Diet))That will select all of the products that have a Diet attribute.Hope that helps.Regards,Jade-------------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

Using Variables in a select statement through a Database Adapter

I was wondering how I reference a variable in a select statement through a Database Adapter.
Ex.
1. I have a global variable that stores an employee number
2. I want to select an SSN # from a table based on an employee #
variable.
select ssn from emp where ssn = :input_variable - ????
- how do i reference the variable - I am getting a 'missing IN or OUT parameter error?
Any advice is much appreciated.
~Thanks

I'm just wondering if anyone knows a work around so that I might be able to store a Table's FIELD name in a variable or an array[] so that I can do a query based on the decision of a loop without having to code 10 IF/ELSE statements.For instance, although the above code will not work, this code, although quite lengthy, does:
If DataGrid1.SelStartCol = 0 Then
Adodc1.RecordSource = "Select * from tblReservation order by RES__PUR_DT"
Adodc1.Refresh
ElseIf DataGrid1.SelStartCol = 1 Then
Adodc1.RecordSource = "Select * from tblReservation order by VENDOR"
Adodc1.Refresh
ElseIf DataGrid1.SelStartCol = 2 Then
Adodc1.RecordSource = "Select * from tblReservation order by VEN_LOC"
Adodc1.Refresh
ElseIf DataGrid1.SelStartCol = 3 Then
Adodc1.RecordSource = "Select * from tblReservation order by RES_TYPE"
Adodc1.Refresh
ElseIf DataGrid1.SelStartCol = 4 Then
Adodc1.RecordSource = "Select * from tblReservation order by RES_FROM_DT"

[php+mysql] how to use variables in a select statement?

Hi all,
I'm searching for a way to use a variable in the select
statement of mysql
query.
I have this variable that can contain:
$var=field_1 field_2 field5
or
$var=field3 field4 field8
so, the variable content is not always the same.
I would like to filter a table selecting only the columns
specified by the
current $var content.
Is this possible to do something like this?
$var=field1 field5 field10
SELECT string_to_array($var)
FROM mytable
ORDER BY mysortfield ASC
Or, is there another way to select columns dynamically?
Thanks for any suggestion.

How to find the next empty member to use it in the FIX statement?

Hi,
I need to create a HBR that, when launched, finds the first member that has a #MISSING value and updates this value with 1. I've tried to create similar code to those from Workforce, however with no success.
The value of 1 should be entered for the first empty child of "Transactions" in combination with account "A-1061800", "No Custom3", "No Custom4", "FY10", "E-00000", "BegBalance", "Robocza", "Budget", and "C2-00000".
The code I've developed looks like this:
SET CREATENONMISSINGBLK ON;
+FIX("BegBalance",[KHSA_PLAN2_CUSTOM3],[KHSA_PLAN2_CUSTOM4],"E-00000","FY10","Budget","Robocza",[KHSA_PLAN2_CURRENCY],HSP_InputValue)+
+"A-1061800"(+
IF(@MAXS(SKIPMISSING,@CHILDREN("Transactions")) == #MISSING)
+"C2-00000" = 1;+
ENDIF)
ENDFIX
The HBR however updates all children of "Transactions" with value of 1 - for two days I've been searching for a way to fix on a first empty child of "Transactions".
Maybe someone could help me, please?

There isn't a built-in function to perform calculations on thable cells. What you can do is to retrieve thable cells values and calculate the average by yourself.
To retrieve a bunch of cells in a single instruction you can use GetTableCellRangeVals: prerequisite for this function to work correctly is that cells are all included in a Rect structure (shortly, a rectangle) and are all of the same data type. See the help for the function for some explanations and the link to an example of its usage. In Cell range parameter you can pass VAL_TABLE_ROW_RANGE (row) macro to retrieve an entire row. See here for details.
Once you have retrieved cell values in an array, you can pass it to Mean function to calculate the average.

@ALIAS in FIX Statement

Hi,
Can I use @ALIAS function in FIX statement? When i try to do it it says "Error: 1200315 Error parsing formula for [FIX STATEMENT] (line 1): invalid object type". If not is there any work around for it?
Thanks.

Hi Glenn,
Thanks for the swift reply.
Here is my scenario, we do end of week analysis and our period dimension is as below,
2010 (~) <20> (Label Only)
2010-05-19 (~) (Alias: Week_3_May)
2010-05-12 (~) (Alias: Week_2_May)
2010-05-05 (~) (Alias: Week_1_May)
2010-04-28 (~) (Alias: Week_4_April)
2010-04-21 (~) (Alias: Week_3_April)
2010-04-14 (~) (Alias: Week_2_April)
and there is a different calculation for every week. So what I am trying to do is having a substitution variable CurrMnth with value "May" and then in the calculation use the @CONCATENATE("Week_3_",&CurrMnth) and do the endof week calculation on that member. Does that work?
If not is there any function we can pick the first member, second member etc individually under a parent?

Are fix statements in a BR specific to the members selected in the form?

Hi,
I have quite a few business rules. All of my "FIX" statements in the business rules are generic i.e. its fixed based on the attributes. An example is given below
FIX(Inbound,Outbound,@ATTRIBUTE(Transaction_Based),@ATTRIBUTE(Transaction_Based_Queue),@ATTRIBUTE(Transaction_Slab_Based),@ATTRIBUTE(Transaction_Slab_Based_Queue))
My question is, does this fix calculates for all members that have the attribute "Transaction_Based_Queue", does it calculate for all year, all scenarios,all version,all entities,etc.. or it calculates for the members that is selected in the data form?
Regards,
Ragav.

Raghav,
Since you have not FIXED on any particular Year, senario or Version. The script will calculate for all the Years, Scenario and versions. In order to use the values on the webform, do the following steps:
1. Create Global Variables in EAS for Year Scenario and Version.
2. Include the Variable in the FIX Statement FIX([Year], [Scenario], [Version])
3. Attach the Business Rule in the Webform. Change the property of the attached rule to "Pick Value from Dataform" and Hide Prompts.
4. The rule should now pick values from the Data form.
Hope this is helpful.

Attributes in FIX statement

When we are using Attributes in the Fix statements of a Business Rule, does it affect the performance? Is it better to use Relative/Children instead of Attributes when it is possible?
Regards,

Does this select ALL of the products, or just the Level 0 products? The reason I ask is that the statement will not be combined using AND logic - only members of different dimensions will be combined using AND logic. Try the following:FIX (@LEVMBRS(Product, 0) AND @ATTRIBUTE(Diet))Now, if your attribute is at level 0 (I assume it is) and you want to select them, just use:FIX (@ATTRIBUTE(Diet))That will select all of the products that have a Diet attribute.Hope that helps.Regards,Jade-------------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

How to use presentaion variable in the SQL statement

Is there any special syntax to use a presentation variable in the SQL Statement?
I am setting a presentation variable (Fscl_Qtr_Var)in the dashboard prompt.
If i set the filter as ADD->VARIABLE->PRESENTATION, it shows the statement as 'Contract Request Fiscal Quarter is equal to / is in @{Fscl_Qtr_Var} '.
And this works fine but when i convert this to SQL, it returns
"Contract Request Date"."Contract Request Fiscal Quarter" = 'Fscl_Qtr_Var'
And this does not work.It is not being set to the value in the prompt.
I need to combine this condition with other conditions in the SQL Statement. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Try this: '@{Fscl_Qtr_Var}'

Using a number variable in an SQL statement

Hi,
I am trying to use a variable in an sql statement and I have run into problems when the variable is a number. The following line of code works if the variable is a string but not if it is a number.
"SELECT TOP 1 UUT_STATUS FROM UNIT_UUT_RESULT WHERE UnitID = '" + Locals.LocalUnitID + "' ORDER BY START_DATE_TIME DESC"
Is there a difference in the use of the single and double quotes and the + sign for number variables?
Thanks
Stuart
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Stuart,
I am assuming that the UnitID is stored as a numeric in the database? If so, the proper SQL syntax for comparing with numerics should not use a single quote (or any quotes for that matter). The quotes are used only for strings.
So you would want to use:
"SELECT TOP 1 UUT_STATUS FROM UNIT_UUT_RESULT WHERE UnitID = " + Locals.LocalUnitID + " ORDER BY START_DATE_TIME DESC"
This is really more of an SQL question universal to all languages, not just TestStand.

Using variable in select statement (php)

I am having difficulty using a variable in a select
statement.
The following manual query (using a static date) works fine:
$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT * FROM academyClasses WHERE
classDate > '2006-06-01' ";
However, If I use the following:
$dateVar = date('Y-m-d');
mysql_select_db($database_mw, $mw);
$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT * FROM academyClasses WHERE
classDate > $dateVar ";
ALL records are returned, which means the $dateVar variable
is not being recognized. I have compared the $dateVar values
<?php echo $datetime; ?> against the actual value of my date
field <?php echo $row_Recordset1['classDate']; ?> in my
results table and it seems that the values are indeed accurate in
terms of a date 2006-06-04 for example.
My date field "classDate" is of a "date" type within the
mysql database. I'm using Dreamweaver MX 2004 with Mac OSX 10.3.9.
I'm sure this is just a syntax problem, at least I hope it
is.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try this:

INSERT statement in JSP using variables

People,
I am having problems inserting data from JSP into a MySQL database.
For example the following works perfectly fine:
String query = "INSERT INTO `test2` (`name`, `topic`, `message`) VALUES ('Jane Doe', 'Hi there', 'Example message')";
But, however the problems take place if I try to use variable values as parameters instead of pre-defined strings.
E.g. the following (among a 100 other ways I have tried by now) does not work):
String query = "INSERT INTO `test2` (`name`) VALUES (`" + userName +"`)";
stmt.executeUpdate(query);
This did not work either:
PreparedStatement PStmt = myConn.prepareStatement("insert into (`name`) values (?)");
PStmt.setString(1, new String("`" + userName + "`"));
PStmt.executeUpdate();
I have tried without parenthesis etc. but what I pretty much get every time is:

I do not know much about SQL or JDBC but the material I have seen makes me believe
that I am pretty much doing the right thing.
What is the right way of doing this?
I would greatly appreciate any feedback.

Hi,
I think i know the problem.
Take a look on your String code :
"INSERT INTO `test2` (`name`, `topic`, `message`) VALUES ('Jane Doe', 'Hi there', 'Example message')";
it is not necessary to put QUOTE for the tablename and the fields.
my code work with :
String query = "INSERT INTO test2 VALUES( ' " + 123 + " ' ) ";
( if you inserting into all fields in your table ) OR
String query = "INSERT INTO test2 ( abc ) VALUES( ' " + 123+ " ' ) ";
( if you need to select certain fields ).
or you can try to refer to :
http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_insert.asp
hope this help.

How to use bind variable in this select statement

Hi,
I have created this procedure where table name and fieldname is variable as they vary, therefore i passed them as parameter. This procedure will trim leading (.) if first five char is '.THE''. The procedure performs the required task. I want to make select statement with bind variable is there any possibility to use a bind variable in this select statement.
the procedure is given below:
create or replace procedure test(tablename in varchar2, fieldname IN varchar2)
authid current_user
is
type poicurtype is ref cursor;
poi_cur poicurtype;
sqlst varchar2(250);
THEVALUE NUMBER;
begin
     sqlst:='SELECT EMPNO FROM '||TABLENAME||' WHERE SUBSTR('||FIELDNAME||',1,5)=''.THE ''';
     DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(SQLST);
OPEN POI_CUR FOR SQLST ;
LOOP
     FETCH POI_CUR INTO THEVALUE;
          EXIT WHEN POI_CUR%NOTFOUND;
          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(THEVALUE);
          SQLST:='UPDATE '||TABLENAME|| ' SET '||FIELDNAME||'=LTRIM('||FIELDNAME||',''.'')';
          SQLST:=SQLST|| ' WHERE EMPNO=:X';
          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(SQLST);
               EXECUTE IMMEDIATE SQLST USING THEVALUE;
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END TEST;
Best Regards,

So you want to amend each row individually? Is there some reason you're trying to make this procedure run as slow as possible?
create or replace procedure test (tablename in varchar2, fieldname in varchar2)
authid current_user
is
   sqlst      varchar2 (250);
   thevalue   number := 1234;
begin
   sqlst := 'update ' || tablename || ' set ' || fieldname || '= ltrim(' || fieldname || ',''.'') where substr(' || fieldname
      || ',1,5) = ''.THE ''';
   dbms_output.put_line (sqlst);
   execute immediate sqlst;
end test;will update every row that satisfies the criteria in a single statement. If there are 10 rows that start with '.THE ' then it will update 10 rows.
