Validations won't work?

Hi guys,
I did a validation a few weeks ago which was simply:
P10_DATEDATE < SYSDATE. I came back and tested it and it still worked as expected. I then tried to recreate it again and the new attempt doesn't work and I don't know why. To begin with it was making the error message show up all the time but now its saying this:
ORA-06503: PL/SQL: Function returned without value
     Error      ERR-1023 Unable perform validations.
I've also tried P10_DATEDATE < (SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL) but no luck and with the : before P10_DATEDATE.
What's gone wrong? I've selected SQL Expression for item and page level but neither work.

Why don't you try creating a validation of type PL/SQL Function Returning Error Text and put the following there:
BEGIN
   IF TO_DATE (NVL (:p10_datedate, SYSDATE)) > SYSDATE
   THEN
      RETURN 'Date has to be smaller than current date';
   ELSIF TO_DATE (NVL (:p10_datedate, SYSDATE)) = SYSDATE
   THEN
      RETURN 'Your item :p10_datedate is empty.';
   ELSIF TO_DATE (NVL (:p10_datedate, SYSDATE)) < SYSDATE
   THEN
      RETURN 'Everything seems to be OK.';
   END IF;
EXCEPTION
   WHEN OTHERS
   THEN
      RETURN 'Error running validation ' || ' / ' || SQLERRM;
END;I would like to know what your result is after running this.

  • Validation won't work - exists

    I have a simple form that fires off a procedure to create a clone of the previously shown record, except they must provide a new revision number. I need to check to see if the newly entered revision already exists, and if so, tell them.
    I've tried an item level as well as a page level validation, exists, and non-exists. It just doesn't seem to work. I either get an error on anything I enter (exists), or anything will pass thru (not exists).
    I have a sql statement that if any rows are returned, I want an error message. This is entered into expression 1...
    select * from EQUIP_HEAD
    WHERE
    EQUIP_HEAD.GEMS_HULL = :P101_HULL_ID AND
    EQUIP_HEAD.EQUIPMENT = :P315_EQUIPMENT AND
    EQUIP_HEAD.REVISIONNUM = :P315_REVISION
    What am I doing wrong? I would think that a 'not exist' would be the correct type, and that the validation would 'pass' if there were no rows. I know there are rows where the revision number is '3', but certainly not when the revision number is 'xxxx'.
    I am truly baffled.

    Holy Batman!
    The only thing I changed, was the error message block of the validation. It said in line field validation, and I had no associated item selected. For whatever the reason, I selected the correct field. And bingo, it works.
    I created the validation using the wizard, and selected the field I wanted to validate The error message had been popping up on the correct field, as well as the top of the form. And now suddenly, it works after I manually go in and select the field I want to validate.
    I swear, I like APEX. I really do. But weird stuff happens. This one cost me half a day.

  • My itunes won't work after i downloaded Itunes version 7.6.1

    When i downloaded itunes version 7.6.1 it asked me if i wanted it to restart my computer or restart it myself i said restart my self and after i restarted it i looked and the regular icon for itunes wasn't there. it was different and then i tried clicking on it to open it but when i do a box pops up and it says "this action is only valid for products that are currently installed" what does that mean? and how can i fix it so my itunes works?

    This one is easy. The shortcut is for the old iTunes, that is why it won't work.
    I assume you are using Windows.
    If so, go to the bottom left of your screen and click the start button. Go up to programs and hold your cursor over it. A list of all your programs should pop up to the right. Move the curso over to iTunes. There should be an "about iTunes" and an iTunes logo there. Right click on the iTunes logo and click create shortcut (you can also just drag it out to your desktop). That will give you a desktop shortcut for your new version.

  • FormsCentral form won't work on iOS 8!

    I have a client who gains access to an online-hosted form that I created for them via FormsCentral. They have iPads in their airplanes and complete my "safety checklist" before they fly. They upgraded every pilot's iPad to iOS 8 yesterday, except for one. The iOS 7 iPad is the only one that will allow them access to complete and submit their form. Now they're looking to me for the answer, and I'm hoping Adobe jumps on this quick!! Any thoughts on how to correct this?

    There isn't a form on the page entry.html.
    You do have two input tags, such as
    <input name="Agree" type="submit" id="Agree"
    value="Agree">
    but these need to be enclosed in <form></form>
    tag to work.
    The page doesn't have a doctype, and fails validation; the
    page will be in
    quirks more, and Macintosh browsers are probably making
    different guesses
    than the PC browser as to what should be done.
    Easiest solution? Create two images (one for agree, one for
    disagree) which
    looks like a button, and change the code
    <td><a href="
    http://www.sydneyundergroundfilmfestival.com/entry2.html">
    <input name="Agree" type="submit" id="Agree"

  • Safari won't work with CNN Pipeline and other sites all of a sudden?

    Safari won't work with CNN Pipeline and other sites all of a sudden? A few weeks ago Safari was working OK but now I often have to use Firefox to visit certain webpages.
    Anyone else having this same problem?
    Is there a quick fix?
    I'm using Safari 2.0.4
    Thanks.

    Hi QuickTimeKirk,
    I have WMP version 9, as well. I do not use F4M, for many users f4mac is what helps.
    I find some items work while others do not. I always get an alert about the wmp , which version it is, takes very long to load, I find it is not consistant with Safari, as seems the poster of this topic has found.
    Quoted from ms Mactopia site:

    Validation of the cnn home page using the W3C Validatior, http://validator.w3.org/
    http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F
    though 41 errors is not as poor as some, Firefox handles the site better than Safari, imo.
    Some sites just work better with Firefox or an other browser.

  • Installed 10.4.8 (PPC) - now my Apple DVD won't work

    After installing the 10.4.8 update on my G4 laptop my Apple DVD Player app won't work, saying "A valid DVD drive could not be found [-70012]?
    What happend and how do I fix it?

    Repair permissions and restart. Check System Preferences->CDs & DVDs, check the settings, and try again. Move the com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist file from ~/Library/Preferences/ to the desktop and try again. Run the System Profiler app and see what it says for the device.
    Is the DVD drive internal or external? What kind of Mac? Other options are to create anothe admin user account, log into it, and see if it'll work.
    BTW, it's not the update. Mine works fine and has for the past six years through 10.1 through 10.4.8.

    Hope you'll be able to assist me find what I'm doing wrong.
    Thanks in advance.

    Did anyone find a way around this? I have the exact same error and tried the exact same solution.
    The Xcode 5 release notes described a problem that sounds similar.
    Communicating with a remote SVN repository over HTTPS can fail with an error similar to “Error validating server certificate for server name.” Edit the file /Library/Server/Xcode/Config/xcsbuildd.plist and change the TrustSelfSignedSSLCertificates key from false to true. Then, from a Terminal window, run: sudo killall xcsbuildd. 14639890

    I haven't found a similar fix for Xcode 6 though.

  • After update to Lion FaceTime won't Work.

    After my Update to Lion Facetime won't Work.
    I can't log in and get an Server Error.
    In the Systemlogs is an entry like:
    FaceTime: [Warning] TRUST validation failed with result 5
    FaceTime: [Warning] FTFaceTimeServerBag: URL bag data invalid (not valid)

    Same problem here..
    Very frustrating..
    On both Macbook Pro 2010, and Black Macbook...
    Neither of which had any problems running Facetime 1.0.2 on Snow Leopard 10.6.8
    Now on Lion 10.7 Facetime 1.1 will not authorise me..
    "The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later."
    The error code is the same whichever Apple ID is used, and even if a non-existent user account is used. This seems to suggest that the bug is as likely to be with communication between Apple's servers and Facetime as it is a bug inside Lion itself.
    Please sort it out Apple!

  • Site won't work in FireFox

    Hi Everyone,

    A friend sent me her website because it won't work in FireFox, but does in every other browser.
    Here is the site:
    www.milanmoffatt.com/dinnerwithstrangers
    I've looked pretty intensely at it, but I'm not a coding Guru.  I can't see anything that would make it work in Chrome, Safari, Opera, IE but not FireFox.
    It looks like FF just won't recognize the style sheet, but it's being called correctly as far as I know.
    Thanks

    There are some errors in the html shown in the validator here: http://validator.w3.org/
    If it's still not working after repairing them, we can take a closer look.

    There isn't a form on the page entry.html.
    You do have two input tags, such as
    <input name="Agree" type="submit" id="Agree"
    value="Agree">
    but these need to be enclosed in <form></form>
    tag to work.
    The page doesn't have a doctype, and fails validation; the
    page will be in
    quirks more, and Macintosh browsers are probably making
    different guesses
    than the PC browser as to what should be done.
    Easiest solution? Create two images (one for agree, one for
    disagree) which
    looks like a button, and change the code
    <td><a href="
    http://www.sydneyundergroundfilmfestival.com/entry2.html">
    <input name="Agree" type="submit" id="Agree"
    value="Agree">
    </a></td>
    <td><a href="
    http://www.sydneyundergroundfilmfestival.com/index.html">
    <input name="Disagree" type="submit" id="Disagree"
    value="Disagree">
    </a></td>
    to
    <td><a href="
    http://www.sydneyundergroundfilmfestival.com/entry2.html">
    <img src="image-agree.gif" alt="I Agree">
    </a></td>
    <td><a href="

  • I'm installing my CS6 download, and my Serial# won't work

    It tells me that it's a valid serial number but not for any products I have on my system.
    I just reinstalled Windows 7 on my laptop and am reinstalling my programs.  I'm having all kinds of trouble with the Adobe CS stuff.  I have the CS 5.5 DVD and downloaded my CS 6 upgrade, and I have had to install trial versions because the serial number won't work.

    If you have trial versions installed, your serial number can be used to convert them to fully activated versions

  • PB 1400 CD & Floppy Drive won't work

    We gave our granddaughter my wife's Powerbook 1400CS which she used for about 6 months. She brought it back because the CD and floppy drives will no longer work. Even if I open the drive with a paperclip and insert a CD it will not be recognized – same for a floppy. I got a serial cable and in target mode did a clean install of 8.6 but still the drives won't work. Does anyone know why?

    Larry
    The HDD in the PB 1400 is ATA Bus 0, and the CD-ROM is ATA Bus 4. (See ASP/Devices.) The FDD is well, the floppy drive. It is at least worth while for you to check that it is not drive faults that you are dealing with, but some other, since mass but selective failure of the buses seems unlikely.
    If the PB's AC adapter is functional, it may still happen that the 'backup' battery (or batteries if it is an 'extended' 1400) has not recovered from depletion at some recent time. PRAM and Power Manager may be feeling poorly enough not to remember what they should and what is where. If you boot the PB, and then remove first the AC adapter and then the main battery, you should get up to 2min of remaining life from a good backup battery. If you get instant shutdown, you can fairly guess that the backup didn't. The backup(s) begin to charge only when the main is fully charged. What is the state of charge of the main in the Control Strip? If it shows full, leave the PB on the adapter for 24-48hr to make sure of the charge on the backup. Otherwise, set the main to charge (with the PB off), and add 24-48hr more after the main shows full charge.
    Then start up with a traditional PRAM-zap. The PB will shut down in response, and can be restarted with the reset switch between the serial and ADB ports. Then you can validly sleep-swap the CD-ROM and FDD to check their function. Is it possible that they have been swapped while the PB was not off or asleep?
    System installation in target disk mode via the HDI-30 port does not work because PB-specific software does not get installed. It is conceivable that a serial port installation will also not work, again because the PB is not identified to the host machine as a PB.
