Variable to hold the value at run time

Dear Friends,
I have a requirement in customer ageing report to select a particluar record from the cube based on the record selected by the query. Is there any option for holding a value of the dimension selected by the query in to a variable at run time. kindly let me know if am not clear.
Thanks
Prem

you want to :
Exeute a query - this will select a particular record and this is to be used to select another reord from a cube. I assume that the seletion from the cube will also happen through a query - then try using a prequery - have a variable on the query on the cube which is filled using replacement path from the previous query..?

Using a session object to hold the value of a record set?

Hi,
I'm trying to hold the value of a record set (or literally the content of a column in a query in a db) in a session variable so that I can call on this later and insert into another table.
I'm not sure of the correct syntax, I've already made a connection to the DB. I'm trying the following but it doesnt seem to like the code:
<% session.setAttribute("code",rs("column_name")); %>
<%String attrib =
String.valueOf ( session.getAttribute("code")); %>
Hello <%= attrib %>
Any ideas, I dont know how to reference the record set, I declared the recordset previously as rs. Help! Can't find examples anywhere on the net!

So just to recap. I appear to be seeing the column name "custorderno" within the Microsoft Access query "lastcust". But I get "no data found" when I run the following code (which I have sectioned off)
<!-- connect to database and lastcust query --!>
<%
try{
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver").newInstance();
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=C:/Tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31/webapps/ROOT/Oatcake.mdb","","");
Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
String sql = "SELECT * FROM lastcust";
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery(sql);
while (rs.next()) {
%>
<TR><TD><%= rs.getString("custorderno") %></TD>
</TR>
<% session.setAttribute("code",rs.getString("custorderno")); %>
<% String attrib =
String.valueOf ( session.getAttribute("code") ); %>
Hello <%= attrib %> [B]
<%
%>
</TABLE>
<%
if (statement != null)
statement.close();
if (conn != null)
conn.close();
catch (Exception e) {out.print(e);}
%>
</BODY>
</HTML>
No as mentioned I am (as you can see) declaring everything as a string when in actual fact the contents of the "custorderno" within the query is set to a autonumber within MS Access.
The while loop does work by returning the contents but the session object part is not working correctly with the following result returned:
[B]java.sql.SQLException: No Data Found
Help please!

How to change the skin at run time

I am using jDeveloper 11.1.1.3 for ADF.
My UseCase: i want to give a dropdown for skins. User should be able to select the skin at run time and it should be loaded. Please let me know how can i achieve it.
Zee

As per usecase, looks like you have the LOV containing the different skins.
You can ensure that the application is skinned according to the selected value in the LOV.
Ensure that you have a session scope variable that is set, whenever you change the LOV.
For more details, look into this link http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/e10140/skinning.htm
Thanks for your reply, but then...... what will be the skin loaded by default before the user selects the skin - drop down. Do i have to set something default before hand .?Define the LOV such that there are no empty elements. i.e the first element in the LOV is selected.
In the Managed bean, if the session scope is not set, return the skin family for the first element. This would be the scenario when the application loads.
Thanks,
Navaneeth

Holding the value in screen-field

Dear All,
I m facing the problem ,while i m putting the value in screen-field and then pressing enter,
value in that screen-field is becoming null automatically.
wht shld i do for holding the value even after PAI.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You should define a corresponding variable for that screen field in your program.
data: my_input_field type ... "same name and type as the one used in screen for field
so when you enter data to that field and press ENTER, the data will be transported to that variable and in PAI you have its value there.

Add an element to the list in run time

There is an item in my form which is a list of values.It is getting populated based on a record group query.
I want to let the user enter values at run time and add the values to the exiting list in the form and same
should be added to the record group so that next time i open the form the added value can be seen.
Is this possible?
Regards,

I have written this code on when_button_pressed trigger to populate the record group RGSTD and LOV(Name LOVSTD).
I have added the element in the list using add_list_element built in. But it is not giving me proper results.
Record group has two columns STDID and STDNAME.

kindly please help

H friends ,
i am not the expert at the same time i know some thing in abap
fval4 = fval3+0(250).
    fval3 = fval3+250(5).
in the above case fval3 have 255 char at that time iam transporting 250 char to fval4 with this statment
fval4 = fval3+0(250).
and iam keeping the remaining 5 char in fval3 with this statment
fval3 = fval3+250(5)
so that i can push some more values in fval3 and at i am
CONCATENATE fval4 fval3 INTO fval5.
so that fval5 may get all values this is the way i try but fval5 is not holding all the values
i asked solution for that
fval 3 = fval3+250(250)
dosen't have any meaning i know that friend
my question is how to hold the remaining value

Display the Columns in the grid at run time

Hi,
My Query is returning fix number of columns in the output.I dont want to Explicitly set the columns i want to see in the display template(display columns field) rather i want to show the number of columns in the grid at run time selected by the user.
Any Suggestion.
Thankyou in Advance.
Nikhil

Here's is what i came up with:
YOu can run one query to get the list of all columns from a table using the following SQL code:
SELECT COLUMN_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'Customers'
Once you do that you can run the query for your table with the selected columns with the following applet property code:
function MyFunc(){
               document.MyApplet.getGridObject().setDisplayColumns('CompanyName,City');
               document.MyApplet.updateGrid(true);
User the following to extract all selected rows:
selRows = parseInt(myGrid.getSelectedRowCount());
You then itterate through the iGrid to extract the value:
for (var i=1; i<=selRows; i++) {
     selRowNum = myGrid.getSelectedRowAt(i);
     selDate = myGrid.getCellValue(selRowNum,1);

Is there a way to reference a variable name by the value of a String?

I realize my title may not be expressing the question accurately so...
In perl I can do this:
$varname = "nIterations";
${$varname} = 27;
which is the same thing as
$nIterations = 27;
Is there a way to do this in Java?
eg I want something like
String varname = new String( "nIterations" );
How can I refer to a variable programmatically from the value of the varname string, or is there not a way to do this?
Thanks!
-Andy

Thank you, I'm very new to java and am not sure I am seeing the big picture. I searched the forums and found this example:
Map textFieldMap = new HashMap();
textFieldMap.put("1", new JTextField());
textFieldMap.put("2", new JTextField());
JTextField textField = (JTextField)textFieldMap.get("1");
textField.setText("some value"); // text field associated with "1"
What I am confused with is how those textfields correspond to the 48+ textfields I have already placed on my applet canvas. I understand the example above as far as using the map to access specific textfields, but I am not sure how those textfields will match up to the ones I have ( which are named right now S11 , S12, ..., S116, ..., S31, S32, .., S316
I am sure I am missing something.
Thank you

Create the pages at run time in smartforms

How to create the pages at run time in smartforms????

Hi..
You cannot create pages at run time, however you can decide based upon conditions and using commands in Smartforms, which page needs to be displayed next.
Those pages should be created beforehand.

Which column gives the complete db run time in RSDDSTAT ?

Hello community,
On table RSDDSTAT, which column gives me the complete db run time?
Is it QDBSEL + QDBTRANS? Or is it QTIMEOLAPINIT + QTIMEOLAP + QTIMEBD + QTIMEVARDP + QTIMECLIENT? Or perhaps something else?
Thanks very much !

How to hold the value of a prompted password in a variable while file is open?

I have this little VBA macro that uses ADODB to execute a SQL Server Agent job remotely. It is in an Excel file, and there will be several other similar macros in the same Excel file. They will be used at least 10 times, each time the user opens
the Excel file. If I leave it like this, the user will be prompted for the password every single time they run one of the macros. How can I change it to instead prompt the user for the password value initially when they open the file, store it
in a variable, and then utilize that variable value for the database connection every time they run one of the macros (to avoid repeated prompting)? Also, are there any security concerns with my proposed approach?
Sub Test_SSIS()
Dim conn As Object
Set conn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Provider = "sqloledb"
conn.Properties("Prompt") = adPromptComplete
conn.Open = "Data Source=MYSERVER;USER ID=JOHNDOE;"
conn.Execute "exec msdb.dbo.sp_start_job 'Test_remote_job_execution'"
End Sub

One possibility is to use the workbook_open event to prompt for and store the password temporarily in the registry. Add the following code to the thisworkbook module of the workbook
Option Explicit
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim strPassword As String
strPassword = GetSetting("myApp", "Config", "Password", "")
If strPassword = "" Then
strPassword = InputBox("Enter password")
SaveSetting "myApp", "Config", "Password", strPassword
End If
lbl_Exit:
Exit Sub
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
RegKeyDelete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\myApp\Config\"
If RegKeyDelete("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\myApp\") = True Then
MsgBox "Password cleared"
Else
MsgBox "Password not stored"
End If
lbl_Exit:
Exit Sub
End Sub
Function RegKeyDelete(i_RegKey As String) As Boolean
Dim myWS As Object
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Set myWS = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
myWS.RegDelete i_RegKey
RegKeyDelete = True
Exit Function
lbl_Exit:
Exit Function
ErrorHandler:
RegKeyDelete = False
GoTo lbl_Exit
End Function
Then modify your macro code as follows:
Sub Test_SSIS()
Dim strPassword As String
Dim conn As Object
strPassword = GetSetting("myApp", "Config", "Password", "")
If strPassword = "" Then
strPassword = InputBox("Enter password")
SaveSetting "myApp", "Config", "Password", strPassword
End If
Set conn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Provider = "sqloledb"
conn.Open "DATA SOURCE=MYSERVER;USER ID=JOHNDOE;Password=" & strPassword & ";"
conn.Execute "exec msdb.dbo.sp_start_job 'Test_remote_job_execution'"
End Sub
The workbook must obviously be saved as macro enabled
This will then prompt once when the workbook is opened. When the macro is run it will read the password from the registry thus not requiring a prompt, unless for some reason the password is missing or nothing has been entered as a value in the first box.
When the workbook is closed, the workbook before close event deletes the registry entries completely.
The only snag to this is if the workbook is crashed, the registry entry is not removed and there will be no prompt next time, until the workbook is closed correc tly. This might not be an issue, if the users don't know about it, so hide your code from them.

URGENT: I want to pass a variable to a stored procedure at run time

Post Author: aruplabs
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I work for a health care provider and I have reports that pull PHI (Protected Health Information) about patients that needs to be logged according to federal HIPAA regulations. One of the pieces of information that needs to be logged is the username of the person who ran the report. Since these reports will be run from our Crystal Enterprise server I can get this from the CurrentCEUserName variable but I am looking for a way to pass this value to a stored procedure that will not only return the records for the report, but also log the disclosure in our PHI disclosure tracking table. I know you can pass a parameter to a stored procedure but I dont know how, or if it is even possible, to pass a run time variable. This is an urgent problem that I need to find a solution for. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Here it is. Right now, when i press te "Go" it runs for the specific time i've set and when its done the variable "Run" is set true. When i call this VI from another VI it waits for the loop to be finished before it will read the variable.

Instance variable to hold the element of a tag in the xml file

Hi I have an xml file that is handled using this parser
<attr id="MY_NAME" >
this parser hanled the above tag but now I want to have it handle
<attr id="MY_NAME" desc="GOOD">
but I need to create an instance variable to handle the desc element in the attr tag .
Can some one help me out as this is not my file and I am having trouble to do please......

   The SupportMatrix class provides static variables and methods to simplify
   the determination of whether or not a given attribute is supported for a
   certain object type (queue manager, channel, etc.), depending on the version
   and platform of the queue manager to which it belongs.
   The SupportMatrix class may not be instantiated. Its constructor is private.
   An instance of the class is created internally in the static initializer so
   that the XML parsing methods are available.
   A corresponding XML document, SupportMatrix.xml, is parsed to create the various
   HashMaps which contain the version/platform dependency information. A number of
   inner classes are used to represent the various elements of the XML matrix
   definition.
   Here's a sample document:
   
   <supportmatrix>
     
     <object classid="1">
       
       <version cmdlevel="base">
         
         <attr id="MQCA_Q_MGR_NAME">
           
           <support platforms="UNIX,WINDOWS,OS400,VMS,NSK" maxlen="48" type="MQCFST"/>
           <support platforms="MVS" maxlen="4" type="MQCFST"/>
         </attr>
         <attr id="MQCA_Q_MGR_DESC">
           
           <support platforms="all" maxlen="64" type="MQCFST"/>
         </attr>
         
         <attr id="MQIA_PLATFORM"/>
         <attr id="MQIA_COMMAND_LEVEL"/>
       </version>
       
       <version cmdlevel="520" include="base">
       </version>
     </object>
   </supportmatrix>
   The inner classes, and their hierarchical relationships are as follows:
     SupportObject - corresponds to the <object> element. Stored in a static HashMap, and
                     keyed by classid.
       VersionObject - corresponds to the <version> element. Stored in a HashMap instance
                       variable of the SupportObject class, keyed by cmdlevel.
         AttributeObject - corresponds to the <attr> element. Stored in a HashMap instance
                           variable of the VersionObject class, keyed by attribute name.
           PlatformObject - corresponds to the <support> element. Stored in HashMaps belonging
                            to the AttributeObjects, keyed by platform. A single PlatformObject
                            instance is created when the support tag is encountered. The
                            "platforms" attribute of the support element is then processed. For
                            each platform in the comma-delimited list, an entry is added to the
                            collection of PlatformObjects. This is to greatly simplify later
                            lookups.
   In order to support the 'include' feature of object and version elements, certain
   functions are recursive. If the attribute to be validated is not found for the passed
   cmdlevel, the 'parent' VersionObject is consulted by means of the 'include' value. If
   the chain of VersionObjects has been exhausted and the attribute in question has still not
   been located, the next SupportObject in the chain is consulted in a similar fashion.

    /** The objects collection holds all the SupportObjects, keyed by classid. */
    private static HashMap objects;

Are you the one who commented out the code you're looking for ?//String desc = StringFactory.getString(attributes.getValue("desc"));You just have to modify you AttributeObject class to hold a new field : String description. And then, it's up to you to create a new constructor or a new setter method.
Btw, this is not a Swing related question.

Find out method argument values at run time

Hi,
I am looking to find out the argument names and values of a method at run time. (This would allow for instance to automatically log argument names and values without writing tedious code).
The following thread did not seem to answer this problem
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=4&threadID=411455
Any suggestions welcomed
Ben

As there is no Method-Object representing the current method call, I doubt you will get hands on the arguments passed to the method other than referencing them or building a framework "on top" (as, e.g., AspectJ). Also, Method in reflections does not hold the names of parameters, so it will be difficult to automatically print information on more than the signature.
The following is a not very robust, little play-around code for logging. Maybe it delivers enough information for some situations:
public class Test {
    void test(String arg0, int arg1) {
        log(new MethodGetter(){}.get(), arg0, arg1);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Test().test("zero", 1);
    public static final void log(Method method, Object ... args) {
        final StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
        builder.append(method.getDeclaringClass().getSimpleName()).append('.');
        builder.append(method.getName()).append('(');
        final Class<?>[] parameterTypes = method.getParameterTypes();
        for (int index = 0; index < parameterTypes.length; index++) {
            if (index > 0) {
                builder.append(", ");
            builder.append('(').append(parameterTypes[index].getSimpleName()).append(") ");
            if (index < args.length) {
                builder.append(args[index]);
            } else {
                builder.append("null");
        builder.append(");");
        System.out.println(builder.toString());
    public static abstract class MethodGetter {
        public Method get() {
            return getClass().getEnclosingMethod();
