V() function documentation

OK, I give up.
Where can I find documentation for the v() and nv() functions? And where can I learn about more functions like these?
Thanks,
-Ken

Hello,
The previous poster (Tyson) probably mix up between the v() function, which is a PL/SQL function, and the $v() function, which is a JavaScript function.
As far as I know there isn’t any official documentation about the v() and NV() functions, other than the following - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/appdev.310/e10499/concept.htm#sthref167 .
In previous versions, there were some performance issues with this function, especially when using it within a select statement. You can search this forum for threads on this issue. In addition, Patrick blogged about the function, and even introduced a function of its own - http://www.inside-oracle-apex.com/2006/12/drop-in-replacement-for-v-and-nv.html
Regards,
Arie.

  • APEX function documentation

    I'm new to APEX and finding that some functions aren't documented, such as wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.logout (used for the logout URL) and the JavaScript popUp2 function (just to name a couple that I've run across in my learning).
    Reading other forum posts has convinced me that the wwv_flow functions should not be used directly and that documented API functions should be used instead. So for example, APEX_CUSTOM_AUTH.LOGOUT should be used instead of wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.logout.
    APEX API - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/apirefs.32/e13369/toc.htm
    So my question is, why is the JavaScript popUp2 function not listed in the JavaScript API and how many other functions aren't documented? Do I need to spend time looking through source files such as apex_3_1.js?

    Thanks for the thorough explanation. So the APEX API and APEX JavaScript API really do contain all of the functions that developers like myself should be using (I wasn't missing anything). And even though I see undocumented functions referenced in the APEX generated code, APEX JavaScript files, APEX PL/SQL, APEX books, and this forum, I'm advised not to use these functions in my own code since these functions are internal to APEX and may not be supported in future releases of APEX.
    Thanks again.

    Not sure if I got your question right.

  • Function Documentation

    I want to know what does this FM "MC_RATIO_UNIT_READ" do. I can't find any documentation or explanation related to this one both on sites and help on sap. If i meet this kind of problem again where can i look it up?

    Overall I agree that documentation is far from spectacular in SAP, but you'll find at least some documentation in the functions that are released to the customer (like the BAPI... ones). Many function modules are also rather self-explanatory.
    Quite honestly I just don't understand why would you want to spend time understanding in depth what this function does? The whole point of a function is exactly the opposite - it's a "black box" where you can put some values in and get some values back. Who cares what happens inside as long as it works fine? Certainly desire to learn is more than admirable but the effort seems to be rather misplaced in this case.
    Are you not getting the right values back? Then maybe you need to put different values in or find a different function. If you don't know what values to put in then how about running 'where used'?

  • How to find BAPI function documentation without going into multiple screens

    Hi Gurus,
    How I am find the documentation of some function is I use transaction code /nBAPI. That takes me to BAPI Explorer. Then I select the system like "Sales and Distribution". Then I drill deep into the required function.
    This works for all the functions those are inside some module, like SD. But the function that is not present in some module like RFC_SYSTEM_INFO, I just cant find it.
    Is there a place in "SAP Easy Access"/SAP where you find the documentation of any function?
    Thanks
    Abbas

    Hi Abbas,
    You can open up the function module in SE37 and click on the documentation button on the application toolbar.

  • RFC function documentation?

    Hi,
    SAP Enterprise Widgets is new to me. I am able to follow guide to develop basic widgets to connect to SAP systems using RFC. My aim is to create a widget that displays customer support message number and closure survey result. I connected to CSS and I can see differnt functions. Is there any document on what each function does? What does each field represent?
    E.g. In the SAP Widget Development guide it calls DevDB_ITBCMESS_GET function and ET_ITBCCREATED_OUT structure in it and MNumm ( Ticket Number) and KText ( Description) fields in that structure. How do I know which functions\ structures and fields represent what?
    Also, there could be security constraints e.g. I cannot see tickets logged by other users, how do you go about getting permission/
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Thanks

    Design Documentation tell us how the interfaces are going to work for the entire project. So usually Architects or Senior guys who have indepth experience of XI will usually write this.
    Functional Documentation tell us the functioanlity of the interface. This is written by the Functional guys who have indepth knowledge about the functionality what they are looking from the interface. They may even take the help of technical guys to some extent.
    Technical Documentation tells us how the interface is going to be worked technically. Here we will mention what are the adapters, naming conventions etc we are going to use for the interface. This is written by the XI developers. This are purely my views and this may change from person to person jenni.

  • Techno functional material

    Hi friends,
      I am new to this forum. I just read few discussions and thought I would get some solution. I am not able to find elearing/eclasses in core ABAP like PP or SD or WM modules. Could you please tell me where I can find the proper documents to gain knowledge in functionality.
    Thanks
    Sonali

    I do not think you can get techno functional documentation specific to any functionality. If you do find something like that let us know.
    You might want to look at Functional documentation and Technical documentation both at http://help.sap.com
    Also look into SAP Best Practices if you want to get indepth knowledge of any specific functional area.
    Blending technical skills into functionality depends on each individuals ability and would get better with experience.

  • OWB9.0.4 Table Function

    Can someone post valid code for use as a table function. It's a new concept to me and I can't seem to come up with a function I can use by the Table function operator.
    What I'm trying to do is populate a calendar table (date, month, year, quarter, etc.) by providing a start date and an end date.

    Paul,
    Here is the link to Table Functions documentation, from the PL/SQL point of view, together with some examples:
    http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/appdev.920/a96624/08_subs.htm#19677
    The current implementation of table functions in OWB is limited - it will be improved in the next versions. You will have to write and deploy the table function manually to the target database. Then you will have to create a table function operator whose signature (input and output parameters) match the function you created in the target environment (otherwise, you will have problems deploying it). At the moment, the input parameter can be one or more ref-cursors type and/or a scalars, while the output will be a table type.
