Hi,
Your question is too generic. If you are specific means it will be easier for us to answer.
In general Record Type to that particular business process that is the source of the data transferred .

Error in using plsql record type inside packages

Dear Friends,
Using Ora9iR2 on Windows 2000 Server. I am trying to declare a record type and a nested table of that record type in the package body and the initialise that in the package body then insert records into that. But I receive error msg.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE sample1 AS
TYPE rcur IS REF CURSOR;
TYPE emp_record IS RECORD
(empname VARCHAR2(20),
job VARCHAR2(10),
salary NUMBER);
TYPE emp_result IS TABLE OF emp_record;
PROCEDURE emp_test ( i_empno emp.empno%TYPE);
END sample1;
-- Package Body
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY sample1 AS
PROCEDURE emp_test ( i_empno IN emp.empno%TYPE)AS
c1 rcur;
eresult emp_result := emp_result();
v_empname VARCHAR2(20);
v_job VARCHAR2(10);
v_sal NUMBER;
BEGIN
OPEN c1 FOR SELECT ename,job,sal FROM emp WHERE empno = i_empno;
LOOP FETCH c1 INTO v_empname,v_job,v_sal;
EXIT WHEN c1%NOTFOUND;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_empname||' , '||v_job||' , '||v_sal);
eresult := emp_result(v_empname,v_job,v_sal); showing error

With that line, i have error

Please guide me where I am wrong.

I got invalide data type error.I think the datatype in the CAST() clause must be a SQL Type i.e. one created with a CREATE TYPE command in the database. emp_result is only a PL/SQL datatype.
But I dont know why it is saying error
eresult(eresult.count) := emp_result(v_empname,v_job,v_sal); eresult is a table of records. It is therefore expecting a record. records don't seem to be created in the same way that user defined types are.
The concept of handling records like this is new to 9i and they are still smoothing out the bumps. Things are a lot better in 9.2 than in 9.0.1 if it's any consolation. There is a particular gap in the documentation, which is what's tripping you up at the moment: the difference between TYPE AS RECORD and other types, also the difference between VARRAY, NESTED TABLE and REF CURSOR. To be honest, it's all kind of hazy for me at the moment: I always need to run some code before I make any pronouncements on this topic.
Good luck, APC

ACH CTX - Addenda Record Type 7

Hi,
I am working on ACH CTX file for vendor payments through Wells Fargo bank. I need some help on the Addenda Record type 7. The format generated by standard SAP for this record type 7 is not acceptable by the bank. And they are not able to help us out much on what should be the format. All they say is that it should be in ANSI ASC X12 format (payment-related information) and refer NACHA format guidelines. Can anyone tell me what is this NACHA format and what data elements should be passed on in this record type. Is there a specific format I can follow?
Thanks,
Raj/

Hi,
did you solve this items. Any information would be helpful.

How does a record type and table type works

Hi,
How a record type and table type work for the ref cursor,
below i m giving an example but its giving me errors
can any one help me for this?
declare
type empcurtyp is ref cursor;
type rectype is record (veid t.emp_id%type, vename t.ename%type);
TYPE tabtype IS TABLE OF rectype;
empcv empcurtyp;
vtab tabtype;
begin
open empcv for select emp_id,ename from t;
loop
fetch empcv into vtab;
exit when empcv%notfound;
dbms_output.put_line(vtab.vename||vtab.veid);
end loop;
close empcv;
end;
here we hav table t and i m taking only two fields of the table t which r emp_id and ename.

Hi,
What errors are you getting with this? From experience you don't need a loop to put the records into the ref cursor its usually done on block.

PRICING ELEMENTS
The standard system includes condition types for basic pricing elements, such as material prices, customer and material discounts, and surcharges such as freight and sales taxes. In the case of each element, you can use the standard version, modify the standard version, or create entirely new definitions to suit your own business needs. The sequence of activities is generally as follows:
Define condition types for each of the price elements (prices, discounts, and surcharges) that occur in your daily business transactions.
Define the condition tables that enable you to store and retrieve condition records for each of the different condition types.
Define the access sequences that enable the system to find valid condition records.
Group condition types and establish their sequence in pricing procedures.

Can you confirm for me please? - jdbc to pl/sql record types

Hi, I was hoping somebody could confirm the following please? I've been researching this in the Oracle JDBC docs and the Internet, but would feel more comfortable if somebody would confirm my findings.
I have a 10g database pl/sql procedure that takes a pl/sql record type as both IN and OUT parameter. I'm not allowed to modify this legacy procedure, though I may create new supporting code.
My research shows there is no inherit support in JDBC for Oracle pl/sql record types as per the Oracle JDBC docs.
As a solution, if the procedure only returned a record type, my understanding is I could create a ref cursor in pl/sql, as well as a wrapper procedure that calls my original procedure, and returns the record type through the ref cursor. This could then be used by my JDBC code as JDBC supports ref cursors as a return type.
However in my case, as the record type is both an IN and OUT parameter of my procedure, my research so far says JDBC support for ref cursors does not allow the writing of value to the ref cursor to be submitted back to the database. Is this correct?
If this limitation exists, as such the better (and only?) solution is to create a shadow pl/sql procedure that takes all the record elements as separate IN OUT parameters and then create a private record based on the record type and pass it to the original procedure.
Is my research here correct? Any help appreciated.
Thanks & regards,
CM.

Chris,
As far as I know, PL/SQL record types are not supported in JDBC.
I believe you may be able to use TopLink.
I think Kuassi Mensah may have some examples in his book Oracle Database Programming.
Alternatively, you could use an Oracle object instead of a PL/SQL record.
This would be similar to what you are suggesting except that instead of a ref cursor, you would transfer the PL/SQL record to an Oracle object.
Good Luck,
Avi.

Record type variables in the SQL database trace file

Hi,
I turned on the trace with binds and waits in a ebusiness form and captured the database SQL trace file. It lists the values for the generic datatypes for the call, but does not list the values of record type variables. Is there a way to identify the values of record type variables? The below section lists the procedure call and the values passed. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
From the sounds of it, when you are adding a child the application is not maintaining the Company's reference to it. For instance, in a 1:M and M:1 relationship, the application seems to be setting only the M:1 part (child to parent) which will cause the database to be updated, but both sides need to be set to keep the cache in synch with the database.
Setting the cache type to be none is not a good idea - it prevents any caching, which will hurt performance and object identity. What instead is recommended is disabling the shared cache using the
toplink.cache.shared.<ENTITY>=false property. This still might not help though if the Company's reference to the child hasn't been set as mentioned above if you are reading Company from the same context you are adding the child.
The Cache is described for TopLink Essentials in the blog at:

ex : l_shl_order_msg.id, l_shl_order_msg.name....etc..
This is what is being passed :
BEGIN ATTRIBUTE_PRC( l_shl_order_msg ,'CDS_1','text-1', CRAE_INTERFACE.GLB_VAR_PKG..V_TEXT );
ATTRIBUTE_PRC has already been defines as record type with i/p parameter..

Pass a record type vaiable in out parameter of a function in a package

Hi All,
1.I have created a ecod inside a package.
2.Then created a function which has a out parameter of the above record.
3.Now package body i'm creating a dynamic cursor .
4.My equirement is to fetch this dynamic cursor's value into the out parameter of the function.
I have created the below code for 1,2 and 3 but not getting how to achive the point 4.
create package pkg
type t_rec is recod (id number,id_name varchar2(10));
type t_data is table of t_rec index by binary_integer;
act_data t_data;
funcion return_data is (dept in number,region in number,o_rec out t_data) return boolean;
end pkg;
create package body pkg
funcion return_data is (dept in number,region in number,o_rec out t_data) return boolean is
p_cur sys_refcursor;
l_text varchar2(100);
begin
-- As per my requirement i have built a dynamic l_text which contains where clause by taking dept and region values.In actual i have nearly 10 in paramaters with >which i'm building a dynamic where clause in l_text. So i'm using a ref cursor.
open p_cur for 'select id,id_name from tab1'||l_text';
fetch p_cur bulk collect into act_data;
exception ....
end pkg;Now as per the code snippet i could fetch all the rows returned by p_cur into act_data.
But how i will pass it though out parameter in the function which i will use somewhere in front end to show data.
Please help me in this.

i need to create the where clause one the basis of the values of IN parameters.Sometimes i need to take count of the data on the basis of the IN parameters and if one of the conditions return value i will build where clause with those parameters.Please google and read up on the importance of creating shareable SQL - which needs to be done using bind variables.
The ref cursor interface in PL/SQL only support a static/fixed number of bind variables. So if you want to create cursors with variable number of bind values, you need to use conditional processing. E.g.

6          sqlSelect := 'select * from emp ';
7          case
8                  when nameFilter is null and jobFilter is null then

17                          open c for sqlSelect using nameFilter;

SQL>And this approach is for external clients - where a Visual Basic or Java client program calls the database, executes the stored procedure, and receives a cursor handle in turn. And the client then fetches the output of this cursor and process it.
There is no need to return a record type of any sorts. The client wants the cursor handle as that is the optimal and best interface for the client to receive database data.
If the caller is not an external client, but another PL/SQL procedure, then this approach does not make much sense.
It is important that you understand basic Oracle concepts and fundamentals. What a cursor is. What the best way is to process Oracle data. How to best use the basic features of Oracle. Without that basic understanding, you as good as a low hour Cessna pilot getting into an Airbus A400M - where the Cessna pilot would not even be able to start a single engine, never mind get the plane in the air.
Likewise, without a basic understanding of Oracle cursors and fundamentals, you will be unable to code even a single line of sensible code. Not because you are a bad programmer. Even the best programmer in the world will be unable to write decent code, if the programmer has no idea how the environment works, what the concepts and fundamentals are. But it is fair to expect that a good programmer will no write such code, understand that there is a lack of knowledge, and address that accordingly.

Whats is table type ? whats the use of it in abap?

hi,
i am ahmed abap fresher,
i want to know what is table type and whats the use of it. at what point/situation we utilize this table type.

Hi Ahmed ,
Table is apart of data dictionary.
Table is a sort of container where we store data.
For eg. you want to store customer record in the database.Now you will store that customer record against specific fields of the applicable table.
You can create or see table by means of transaction code se11.
There are 3 typesof tables available in SAP ABAP:
1. Transparent table
2. Pool table
3. Cluster table.
Transparent Table:
A physical table definition in the database for the table definition which is stored in the ABAP Dictionary for transparent tables when the
table is activated. The table definition is translated from the ABAP
Dictionary to a definition of the particular database.
Pooled table:
Pooled tables can be used to store control data (e.g. screen sequences,
program parameters or temporary data). Several pooled tables can be
combined to form a table pool. The table pool corresponds to a physical
table on the database in which all the records of the allocated pooled
tables are stored.
Cluster table:
Cluster tables contain continuous text, for example, documentation.
Several cluster tables can be combined to form a table cluster. Several
logical lines of different tables are combined to form a physical record
in this table type. This permits object-by-object storage or
object-by-object access. In order to combine tables in clusters, at
least parts of the keys must agree. Several cluster tables are stored in
one corresponding table on the database.
See the documetation at:

Nhi guru's cross apps what is basic type,idoc type , message type

nhi guru's cross apps what is basic type,idoc type , message type plz help me i am larning how to work on idocs using ale explain me like realtime environment

Hi,
Hi,
i got this data from sdn .plz go thru might be helpful
IDOC is a intermediate document to exchange data between two SAP Systems.
*IDocs are structured ASCII files (or a virtual equivalent).
*Electronic Interchange Document
*They are the file format used by SAP R/3 to exchange data with foreign systems.
*Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
*IDocs exchange messages
*IDocs are used like classical interface files
IDOC types are templates for specific message types depending on what is the business document, you want to exchange.
WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
FOr testing you can use WE19.
how to create idoc?
*WE30 - you can create a IDOC type

For creating a IDOC u need to Create a segment type in WE31.The internal table in which we store the data to be passed to the IDOc thos fielda are defined in fieldname and data element.Save and release the segment.
Create IDOC type in WE30. Give min and max types. Mark it as mandatory.
Create Message type in WE81.Assign it to a change request and save it.
Link this message type with IDOC type in WE82.
Then start your coding and pass the details of Data and control records.
Just have a look at these links:

Lsmw.conv is not a session record (type 0)

Hi
i am using lsmw to import gl master records. all my steps are correct but on the last step when i have to run batch input session the message below appears:
lsmw.conv is not a session record (type 0)
i have used the method both ticking and un-ticking file without session records but still doesn't work.
can anyone advise as to what the issue could be?
thanks.
Waheed

Hi
Have you checked box "Field names at start of file" in the Specify file step of the LSMW. This needs to be checked if your input file has column headings as first row. Otherwise, this should be unchecked.

Record types in Pro*C

Say I have the following package:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE temp_test_pkg IS
     TYPE test_type IS RECORD (
                     num number,
                     chr varchar2(10));
     TYPE test_arr_type IS TABLE OF test_type INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
     PROCEDURE test_proc(p_tst OUT test_type);
     PROCEDURE test_proc2(p_tst OUT test_arr_type);
END temp_test_pkg;And I want to call the test_proc and test_proc2 functions from a Pro*C application. How can I do this? I have not seen any method to pass record types, or even worse tables of record types, in Pro*C and so far the only thing I can think of is to break up the record into individual arguments, which is ugly.
I have looked into the Object Type Translator and I don't think it will work without making changes to the packages since everything will have to be re-typed as object types. I can not do this, so unless OTT will work without changing the types that "solution" is out.

All interesting to know, but it all confirms what I thought all along: object types and its associated object cache were designed to manipulate table data not temporary data that was created and passed just to satisfy the temporary need to get data into a Pro*C/C application.
Thanks! But it looks like object types bring with them an amount of overhead that is not going to be suitable for our task. We'd constantly be bringing in the objects, consuming them, and then flushing them out of the cache because we'll be recreating them again next time (in the PL/SQL procedure) and they won't ever be the same. In order for this to change we'd need to redesign the entire thing, and while that is certainly something to keep in mind, for now we don't have the time!
If and when we decide to redesign, I will certainly take all this into consideration!
For my own edification, however, how much faster did you find the OCCI implementation over the Pro*C implementation? We don't use the OCI layer for anything yet, so this would be a first, and so I may have to sell its use.
Thanks!

Can anyone explain what a condition type means in pricing.

Hi,
Can anyone explain what a condition type means in pricing. And how to create condition type and how it effects Pricing conditions.
As I am new to this area. Detailed explanation is highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Rasheed

Hello Rasheed,
Below mentioned are the few important things related to pricing.
- You first define Condition Tables .
- Define Access Sequence and assign condition tables to it.
- Define Condition Type and assign Access Sequence to it.
- Now define Pricing Procedure and assign Condition Type to it.
- Now you define Pricing Procedure Determination using Sales Org, Distribution Channel ,Division,Document Pricing Procedure and Customer Pricing Procedure which are the key fields.
The above steps can be done in SPRO.
-Now maintain the Condition Records(for eg:For the specific material what is the cost or for a specific customer what is the cost of the specific material etc) using Txn:VK11.
- Once you maintain the Condition Records , you can reflect the same values in Condition Type in SPRO.
Hope this information is helpful for you to relate Condition Type in Pricing,
Please reward with points if this information is helpful for you.
Regards,
Shanthala.
