Using "Where" operator sometimes generates a Null Value

Hello,
I am struggling with the following problem:
Sometimes when I use the "Where" operator, I get a Null value that I can't get rid of. For example:
    [Fiscal Quarter] Where [Fiscal Quarter] = "2009 Q3"
    Returns:    "2009 Q3" and [Null]
    Note: The object [Fiscal Quarter] is a dimension.
Conversely, when I use this formula:
    [Revenue] Where [Fiscal Quarter] = "2009 Q3"
    There is just one result, e.g., $100,000, as expected.
Is there something I can add to the first formula so that I do not get the Null response?
thanks so much,
Helen Gonzalez

Hello, Ekta!
in response to your help:
Q: Is the query that is the value of the Fiscal Dimension dependent upon some other condition?
A: No, the dimension "[Fiscal Quarter]" is not dependent on anything else.
Q: Have you tried breaking the formula to smaller chunks?
Have you tried using other Conditional Operator as "Nested IF".
A: No, I haven't tried that. Any suggestions? It sounds reasonable.
Thanks,
Helen

How to check for null values in bpel?? Please Help! very urgent!!!

Hello Guys,
I have a problem. I have an external webservice to which I have to post my request. My task is to create an Webservice and Service Assembly to which others would post request and get response. I have to create SA to deploy onto the bus.
The problem is that there are optional elements in the request and response xsd's. In the Response sometimes certain feilds may come or they may not. for Example:- my response could contain a tag like this <firstName></firstName>
I have to copy these feilds in my bpel process from one variable to another.(like in the mapper).
My Question is , Is there any way in BPEL process or BPEL mapper where I could Check for null values in the request or response???
Your inputs would be very helpful.
Thanks
Rajesh

Thanks for replying man :)
Ok I will be more clear.
Here is a snippet of one of the xsd's that I am using.
<xs:element name="returnUrl" nillable="false" minOccurs="0">
                    <xs:annotation>
                         <xs:documentation>Partner specifies the return URL to which responses need to be sent to, in case of
Async message model.
</xs:documentation>
                    </xs:annotation>
                    <xs:simpleType>
                         <xs:restriction base="xs:anyURI">
                              <xs:maxLength value="300"/>
                              <xs:whiteSpace value="collapse"/>
                         </xs:restriction>
                    </xs:simpleType>
               </xs:element>
This means that the return URL field can be there or it may not be there. But if it is there it cant be null because nillable=false. But the whole <returnURL> </returnURL> can be there or it may not be there because minOccurs=0.
My requirement is , if returnURL is there in the response with a value, then in my BPEL mapper I should map it else I should not map it.
Thats the issue.
and Yes kiran, the node be non-existant.
So can you please help me with this.
Thanks

Exclude NULL values from SUM and AVG calculation

Hi,
I have column in report that contains some NULL values. When i perform SUM,MAX,MIN or AVG calculation on this column the NULL values are treated as '0' and included in calculation. Is there any way to exclude them while calculating aggregate functions?
As a result MIN calculation on values (NULL,0.7,0.5,0.9) gives me output as 0 when it should have been 0.5
Can someone please help ?
Thanks and Regards,
Oliver D'mello

Hi Oliver,
According to your description, you want to ignore the NULL values when you perform aggregation functions.
In this scenario, aggregate functions always ignore the NULL values, because their operation objects are non-null values. So I would like to know if you have assigned “0” for NULL values. I would appreciate it if you could provide some screenshots about
your expressions or reports.
Besides, we have tested in our environment using Min() function. The expression returns the minimum value among the non-null numeric values. Please refer to the screenshots below:
Reference:
Min Function (Report Builder and SSRS)
Aggregate Functions Reference (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,

Pass a null value to a JDBC stored procedure call?

pass a null value to a JDBC stored procedure call? Is this even possible? My DBA gave me a procedure to call that sometimes requires a null value. I don't think this is even possible.

do you mind tell me how to resolve your problem?i using the setnull method,but it doesn't work.

Need help Take out the null values from the ResultSet and Create a XML file

hi,
I wrote something which connects to Database and gets the ResultSet. From that ResultSet I am creating
a XML file. IN my program these are the main two classes Frame1 and ResultSetToXML. ResultSetToXML which
takes ResultSet & Boolean value in its constructor. I am passing the ResultSet and Boolean value
from Frame1 class. I am passing the boolean value to get the null values from the ResultSet and then add those
null values to XML File. When i run the program it works alright and adds the null and not null values to
the file. But when i pass the boolean value to take out the null values it would not take it out and adds
the null and not null values.
Please look at the code i am posing. I am showing step by step where its not adding the null values.
Any help is always appreciated.

Use of DECODE and NULL value in a WHERE clause

hi all,
I came into an issue trying to use the DECODE function in a simple where clause.
this is my test case
CREATE TABLE tab_test (lev NUMBER, code VARCHAR2(10), val VARCHAR2(10));
INSERT INTO tab_test VALUES (1, NULL, 'val11');
INSERT INTO tab_test VALUES (1, NULL, 'val12');
INSERT INTO tab_test VALUES (1, '13', 'val13');
INSERT INTO tab_test VALUES (2, '21', 'val21');
INSERT INTO tab_test VALUES (1, '22', 'val22');
INSERT INTO tab_test VALUES (1, '23', 'val23');
and this is the query
SELECT * FROM tab_test WHERE code = DECODE(:lev,1,NULL,:cod)
as you can see running this query, setting :lev to 1 will return an empty record set, instead of the expected first two rows (as it will be, running "select * from tab_test where code is null").
is there a way to overcome this issue? thanks for help

hi Frank,
I can confirm that the queries do work when run on TOAD, but do not when they are put in the WHERE clause of my data block. I guess the problem relies on some data block setting; I should investigate on Forms forum.
Anyway, here is my test case, including data and some examples. You can realize that it works good
CREATE TABLE TAB_TEST
LEV NUMBER,
CODE VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
VAL VARCHAR2(10 BYTE)
Insert into tab_test
(LEV, CODE, VAL)
Values
(3, 'val21', 'val3_211');
Insert into tab_test
(LEV, CODE, VAL)
Values
(2, 'val21', 'val3_212');
Insert into tab_test
(LEV, VAL)
Values
(1, 'val11');
Insert into tab_test
(LEV, VAL)
Values
(1, 'val12');
Insert into tab_test
(LEV, VAL)
Values
(1, 'val13');
Insert into tab_test
(LEV, CODE, VAL)
Values
(2, 'val11', 'val21');
Insert into tab_test
(LEV, CODE, VAL)
Values
(2, 'val12', 'val22');
Insert into tab_test
(LEV, CODE, VAL)
Values
(2, 'val13', 'val23');
COMMIT;
SELECT * FROM TAB_TEST
CONNECT
BY PRIOR val = code
START WITH (CASE
WHEN :LIV = 1 AND code IS NULL THEN 'OK'
WHEN :LIV != 1 AND code = :COD THEN 'OK'
END = 'OK')
               AND VAL = :V
:LIV = 1
:COD = [any]
:V = 'val11'
LEV     CODE     VAL
1          val11
2     val11     val21

[Coercions] Attempt to apply operator "-" to null value

What is this warning? I have it in my console every time I load page:
[Coercions] Attempt to apply operator "-" to null value
I tried to find any line in code where I try to apply "-" to any value. I found just one, but in method that isn't called every time, so it should appear. It's in:
public void negateDouble(Double value) {
double negated = -value.doubleValue();
}Anyway, that's only in this app, and I have another where the same warning is appearing.
PS. I'm using Creator 2.

I guess that you are trying to apply the - operator to a null value...
Check to see if values is not null before.

Handling null value in where condition

CREATE OR REPLACE package body GetRefCursors is
function sfGetAccountInterval
( pFirstAccount in ACCOUNTS.ACCOUNT_NO%type
,pLastAccount in ACCOUNTS.ACCOUNT_NO%type)
return csGetResultSet is
csGetAccounts csGetResultSet;
begin
open csGetAccounts for
SELECT accounts.account_no,accounts.name
FROM accounts
WHERE accounts.account_no BETWEEN pFirstAccount AND pLastAccount
ORDER BY accounts.account_no;
return csGetAccounts;
end sfGetAccountInterval;
end GetRefCursors;
how can i handle the condition if pFirstAccount parameter having null value?
do i need to use Dynamic SQL here?

no need for dynamic stuff.
You could use the NVL function, but it depends what you want... If you want NULL to be considered the lowest possible account number, then you could do something like
nvl (pFirstAccount, 0)where the zero is the lowest possible number.

Using null value of item

Hi All,
I use this part-of-code in pl/sql statement in a 'where' clause in order to filter records to those that took place between some hours range:
..... and to_char(STARTDATE,'HH24:MI:SS') between NVL(:P3_HOURS_FROM,'00:00:00') and NVL(:P3_HOURS_TO,'23:59:59')
P3_HOURS_FROM & P3_HOURS_TO are combo box items with LOV (0:00,0:30,1:00 ....etc that returns 00:00:00,00:30:00,1:00:00 respectively). I use a null value which is displayed as '--:--'.
when i choose some hour range the rsults are correct. the problem is when i choose null values. there is no results to the report, probably (i guess) because it somehow translate the (null) time value to the same value (and it's obvious that between same time values there isn't any result).
so i guess i use 'null' value in an inappropriate way.
Can u tell me what do i do wrong???

Are you sure you are returning NULL and just displaying '--:--' in your LOV?
If the state of your LOV is becoming '--:--' then this does not equal null in PL/SQL land.
I presume you are also submitting after changing your LOVs?
You can check the state of your items by clicking the session state in the developers toolbar at the bottom. See what your items are being set and report back!

Oracle 11.1.0.7.0 Issue with Streams when using NULL value in a key field

Hi,
we have an issue in our replicated environment using Streams.
We have a replicated table using the following index:
UK_S01_TEXT_FORMAT_TBL01 SOGID
UK_S01_TEXT_FORMAT_TBL01 INDEX_TEXT_FORMAT_ID
UK_S01_TEXT_FORMAT_TBL01 INDEX_LANGUAGE_LABEL
UK_S01_TEXT_FORMAT_TBL01 INDEX_TEXT_FORMAT_COUNTER
UK_S01_TEXT_FORMAT_TBL01 INDEX_PROVIDER_ID
UK_S01_TEXT_FORMAT_TBL01 INDEX_TARIFF_PLAN_COSP_ID
with field INDEX_PROVIDER_ID allowing NULL values. Actually we insert empty strings in there, but as far as I understand Oracle will convert it sliently in a NULL value, which is fine to our application.
When we apply a change on that table (either update or delete) we get errors at streams level and the transaction is not propagated.
Local Transaction ID: 6.28.11170

If I force the set of primary keys to be only the NOT NULL fields, I can successfully apply the error, but since we may have them storing both NULL and NOT NULL values, this is not a solution.
I'm wondering why the DB on one hand converts the empty string in a NULL while inserting, but it looks the Apply process onStandby is not able to do the same when looking for the record before applying the transaction.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,

Its showing all objects the user has permission to see- why does that need to be restricted?

Null values returned when using request.getParameters(

I have a html form which allows the user to choose options and select a file to upload. When I use method=Post I get null values returned. When I use method=Get I get my parameter values fine.. but I get an error.
"Posted content type isn't multipart/form-data"
I would like to know why I am getting null values returned when using Post. I am using the following to get the values from the name=value passed to the servlet.
String strIndustry = request.getParameter("frmIndustry");
String strCompany = request.getParameter("frmCompany");
String strCollabType = request.getParameter("frmCollaboration");
I have another form where the user can search information in a database that works just fine w/ either Get or Post
Or perhaps I am using oreilly MultipartRequest incorrectly??? but I copied it directly from another discussion.. ???
any thoughts
Thanks

taybon:
you could do it like this. in this case, you submit your form with the parameters (industry, company, collaboration), and upload your file at the same time. and in the target servlet, you can build your MultipartRequest object like this:
MultipartRequest multi = new MultipartRequest(request, temp_location, 50 * 1024);where variable temp_location stands for a temporatory diretory for file uploading.
and then you get your parameters, so you can build the directory with them. and after that, you can move your file to that directory using File.renameTo();
but as i've suggested in my previous posting, i just recommend you upload your file in a separate form. and then you can perform an oridianry doPost form submit with those parameters. or you may have problems with the file uploading. (this is just my personal experiences with Multipart).
there is one other thing i'd like to mention, file.renameTo() won't work if you need to move files to a network drive in windows. it won't work if you move files across file systems in unix.

Using Convert to handle NULL values for empty Strings ""

After having had the problem with null values not being returned as nulls and reading some suggestion solution I added a converter to my application.
<converter>
    <converter-id>NullStringConverter</converter-id>
    <converter-for-class>java.lang.String</converter-for-class>
    <converter-class>com.j2anywhere.addressbookserver.web.NullStringConverter</converter-class>
</converter>
...I then implemented it as follows:
public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object object)
    System.out.println("Converting to String : "+object);
    if (object == null)
      System.out.println("READING null");
      return "NULL";
    else
      if (((String)object).equals(""))
        System.out.println("READING null (Second Check)");
        return null;
      else
        return object.toString();
public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value)
    System.out.println("Converting to Object: "+value+"-"+value.trim().length());
    if (value.trim().length()==0 || value.equals("NULL"))
      System.out.println("WRITING null");
      return null;
    else
      return value.toUpperCase();
...I can see that it is converting my values, however the object to which the inputText fields are bound are still set to empty strings ""
<h:inputText size="50" value="#{addressBookController.contactDetails.information}" converter="NullStringConverter"/>Also when reading the object values any nulls are already converted to empty strings before ariving at the converter. It seems that there is a default converter handling string values.
How can I resolve this problem as set nulls when the input value is an empty string other then checking every string in my class individually. I would really hate to pollute my object model with empty string tests.
Thanks in advance
Edited by: j2anywhere.com on Oct 19, 2008 9:06 AM

I changed my converter as suggested :
public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value)
    if (value == null || value.trim().length() == 0)
      if (component instanceof EditableValueHolder)
        System.out.println("SUBMITTED VALUE SET TO NULL");
        ((EditableValueHolder) component).setSubmittedValue(null);
      else
        System.out.println("COMPONENT :"+component.getClass().getName());
      System.out.println("Converting to Object: " + value + "< to " + null);
      return null;
    System.out.println("Converting to Object: " + value + "< to " + value);
    return value;
}which produces the following output :
SUBMITTED VALUE SET TO NULL
Converting to Object: < to null
Info : The INFO line however comes from my controller object where I print out the set value :
package com.simple;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class Controller
private String information;
/** Creates a new instance of Controller */
public Controller()
    System.out.println("Createing Controller");
    information = "Constructed";
public String process()
    System.out.println("Info : "+getInformation());
    return "processed";
public String reset()
    setInformation("Re-Constructed");
    System.out.println("Info : "+getInformation());
    return "processed";
public String setNull()
    setInformation(null);
    System.out.println("Info : "+getInformation());
    return "processed";
public String getInformation()
    return information;
public void setInformation(String information)
    this.information = information;

any other suggestions what could be causing this.

How to Get the required List Item values by using Where Clause

I have two tables named "TAX_RULES","BILL"
1. " Tax_Rules" (Sub_Head_Code,Tax_ID,Tax_Percentage)
{ While "Sub_Head_Code" field is unique,
Tax_ID describes that there are two kinds of Tax_IDs based on Tax_percentage which is 6% for some Sub_Head_Codes and 3.5% for the remainng Sub_Head_Codes. I have given Tax_ID 1 for 6% and Tax_ID 2 for Sub_Head_codes having 3.5%. }
2. "BILL" (Bill_ID,Sub_Head_Code,Tax_ID,Bill_Amount)
{While "Bill_ID" describes unique Bill Identification Number,
Sub_Head_Code and Tax_ID are behaving like composite foreign key from Tax_Rules table}
I have design form for both tables.
In BILL form i am trying to get values of Tax_ID from Tax_Rules table at run-time by using WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE.
For this whenever i select a Sub_Head_Code in Bill Form, all the Tax_IDs that i have recorded against each Sub_Head_Code which is either 1 or 2 against 6% and 3.5% respectively.
But I want that whenever i select a "Sub_Head_Code", Only that Tax_ID which is associated with that Sub_Head_Code ahould come in the LIST ITEM.
I have used WHERE clause but that is useless.
Following is the Code that i have applied in the WHE-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE Trigger at FORM LEVEL
<CODE>
DECLARE
     rg_n1 VARCHAR2(40) :='TAX_ID';
     rg_idn1 RecordGroup;
     gc_idn1 GroupColumn;
     errcode NUMBER;
BEGIN
     CLEAR_LIST('BILL.TAX_ID');
     rg_idn1 := Find_Group(rg_n1);
IF      Id_Null(rg_idn1) then
          rg_idn1 := Create_Group(rg_n1);
     gc_idn1 := Add_Group_Column(rg_idn1,'EXPLAIN',CHAR_COLUMN,60);
          gc_idn1 := Add_Group_Column(rg_idn1,'TAX_ID',CHAR_COLUMN,3);
     END IF;
     errcode := Populate_Group_With_Query(rg_idn1,'select TAX_ID,TAX_ID from TAX_RULES');
     POPULATE_LIST('BILL.TAX_ID',RG_IDn1);
END;
</CODE>

In the Tax Rules table, you state:
"Sub_Head_Code" field is unique
In the Bill table, you state:
Sub_Head_Code and Tax_ID are behaving like composite foreign key from Tax_Rules table
If the Sub_Head_Code is unique, then it's acting as a primary key, so Sub_Head_Code and Tax_ID in the Bill table are not behaving like a composite foreign key. The Sub_Head_Code is a foreign key, and the Tax_ID is irrelevant as far as keys are concerned.
It is not clear what it is you want to do.
If you want to display the Tax_IDs from the Bill table when you select a Sub_Head_Code from the Tax_Rules table, then change your query to:
select TAX_ID, TAX_ID from BILL where Sub_Head_Code = :Tax_Rules.Sub_Head_Code
If you want to display the Tax_IDs from the Tax_Rules table when you select a Sub_Head_Code from the Bill table, then change your query to:
select TAX_ID, TAX_ID from TAX_RULES where Sub_Head_Code = :Bill.Sub_Head_Code
If this is not what you want, then clarify what it is you want to do. Don't say:
"I want that whenever i select a "Sub_Head_Code", Only that Tax_ID which is associated with that Sub_Head_Code"
because it is not clear what tables you are referring to.

Passing null values to the attributes of a CAF operation

Hi,
In CAF I am trying to fetch data through Web Service. For this I need to pass null value for the attributes of the operation.If I set the value to null it gives me missing parameter as the error.
Can anyone tell me how to pass null values to the attributes of a CAF operation?

Hi Xavier,
Declare the two variables of type if_wd_contex_node for e.g. lv_node and if_wd_context_element for e.g. lv_element. Now in the first one lets say lv_node get the refrence of dynamically created node like:
lv_node = wd_context->get_child_node('<node name>').
Then get the refrence of element like:
lv_element = lv_node->get_element( ). (You can also pass index as parameter check the method API)
then just set the value of attribute you want like:
lv_element->set_attribute( exporting name = '<attribute name>' value = '<your value>').
