Working with Data Field (XMLTYTPE)

XMLTYPE is a new type of data element I have yet to work with and I am seeking some guidance as how best to approach
this in order to display the contents of these fields.
I have the XSD available to me which I believe I will have to query the contents withing this field and within a outter query.
This may not be an easy task to explain, but if some one is willing to take a stab at it, i'd greatly appreciate any advice given.
Enjoy your Day,
Sincerely,
George

Problem with date fields in where clause after changing driver

Hi,
We have changed the oracle driver we use to version 10
and now we have some trouble with date-fields.
When we run this SQL query from our Java program:
select *
from LA_TRANS
where LA_TRANS.FROM_DATE>='20040101' AND LA_TRANS.FROM_DATE<='20041231'
We get this error code:
ORA-01861: literal does not match format string
The query worked fine whit the previous driver.
Is there some way I can run a SQL query with date fields
as strings in the where clause?
Thanks!

Keeping the argument of standard SQL or not aside, comparing DATE columns to a constant string (which looks like a date in one of the thousands of the formats available, but not in others) is NOT one of the best programming practices and leads to heartburn and runtime errors (as you have seen yourself).
I would rather compare a DATE to a DATE.
Also, constants like that would be another issue to fix in your code:

Problems While Working With CLOB fields

HI Friends,
I am facing one big problem while working with CLOB fields. I work in crystal reports in my project and My team is works in BMC Remedy tool. As per database configuration by default the date fields are stored in numbers. There is a field named Work Log which stores the complete history information of a ticket or a call.
While generating reports I convert the date fields from numbers into date values by using to_date function. But I am not able to change the dates mentioned in the worklog which is a CLOB field. As a result when I am generating reports text part of the work log is comming fine but the date fields are comming in numbers.
Please refer the below example:-
*1291012455anilkumarptesting*
Full Name:
PRG Name - EUC-APP PKGN1291012585anilkumarptesting
Full Name:
PRG Name - EUC-APP PKGN1291012631anilkumarptest
Full Name:
PRG Name - EUC-APP PKGN1291207510anilkumarpfd
Full Name: Anil Kumar Pantangi
PRG Name - Prod_Ops1291207535anilkumarpf
Full Name: Anil Kumar Pantangi
PRG Name - Prod_Ops
Assignment notification disabled for this transaction1291212517kapilbasd
Full Name: Anil Kumar Pantangi
PRG Name - Prod_Ops
See the first line of the worklog "1291012455anilkumarptesting", 1291012455 is referring a date value, but due to database configuration it's comming in number. All the other numbers in the above text are dates only which need's to be converted. These dates are captured in remedy tool when someone updates that ticket.
I am not able to decide how to change this numbers into dates. As it is containing lot's of numbers i am really confused how to come with a solution.
Can I expect a solution from you, atleast a way how to proceed resolving this problem. Should I have to write a procedure for this??
Please help..........
Kindly let me know if you need any more input.
Regards,
Arijit

1291012455 represents a date value,What date value does it represent? Since it's not obvious to us what date you want that converted into, it's obviously hard for us to help. For example, perhaps you want that to be Jan 29, 2010 with "12455" representing a time component in some non-obvious format. Perhaps you want that to be December 1991 at 1:24:55. Perhaps you want to convert it to a completely different date. You're going to need to tell us in words how to convert your numeric data into a date.
My question is how can I convert all the numbers into date in the CLOB field and present it in a proper manner.Given your sample data, what do you expect the output to be? Do you expect many rows of data, one for every date in the CLOB? Do you expect a comma-separated list? Something else?

Work with data from a table of another SAP R/3 system

Hi,
I want to work with data from a table of another system. I know there's a function called 'RFC_READ_TABLE' but I don't know really how it works. What I want to do is to get data from that system and pass it to the one where I'm working in order I can continue working with this data in the report.
Besides, I'd like to select only the records that have some conditions.
I'd appreciate if someone could tell how to do it, whether with FM 'RFC_READ_TABLE' or in another way.
Thanks in advance,
Gerard
P.S: The systems are already connected in SM59

Yes, you can use RFC_read_table .You can pass the number of columns but I recommend you to bring all results in your internal table after that you can filter the records. Most of the time I have notice when you make RFC call with this FM to another system it works but it may also happen that other system controlling authorization and then it might give you nothing. As I face this problem on my last Project.
Hope thisll give you idea!!
<b>P.S award the points.</b>
Good luck
Thanks

Working with dates

hello,
I am working with dates. It looks like so:
1st I want to calculate a time span for example calculate cell A2 - cell A1. In cell A1 it is written 01.01.2010 (so first of January) and in cell A2 01.02.2010 (so first of February). I wrote the dates in letters, too, to avoid misunderstandings due to different national date formats.
Since January has 31 days, the obvious result thereof is "31D". So far so good.
but now I want to multiply the 31 with a numeric value, but not the 31D, because if I do so, and let's say the numeric value is 3, then my result is 93 DAYS rather than just 93.
So my question is, is there any possibility how I can further calculate with a result coming from date calculations without having the new result also in the date format? Anything that escapes the "DAYS" in further calculations??
Thx

Are you sure you're asking in the right forum?
Using Numbers '08, with the following entries:
B2: Jan 1, 2010
C2: Feb 1,2010
D2: =C2-B2
E2: =3*D2
I get 31 (not 31D) in D2 and 93 (not 93 DAYS) in D2.
From your description, I think you're actually using Numbers '09, and Jerry's advice above applies.

Barry

What does HTML have over PDFs when working with data?

I'm doing some research for a client whose company is moving from PDFs to HTML for their in-house user interfaces.
What does HTML have over PDFs when working with data?
Thanks!
Luke

PDFs can indeed work with data and can be programmed with javascript. You can do some pretty interesting things with it. It is even possible to create interactive forms on the web using PDF, however it requires server-side support. As a general rule, though, PDFs are terrible as a web interface and it's far easier to work with HTML and PHP.
HTML is lightweight and PDF isn't (in case that seems like a small thing, it's actually a big negative for PDFs). The success of your PDFs will depend on the versions of acrobat your users use, and getting data in and out of the PDFs will require learning far more about Acrobat's FDF format and XML implementation than you may want to know.

Improving the LabVIEW Help: Working with Data Types

Have you ever had trouble figuring out how to work with the waveform data type, the dynamic data type, or some of the other more complex data types in LabVIEW? As a tech writer on the LabVIEW team, I'd like to improve our documentation about working with data. What would you like to see? What would be helpful? Have you ever given up on a particular data type because it didn't work? Have you ever created a replacement data type because you preferred not to use a LabVIEW data type?
Lacy Klosterman Rohre | Marketing Editor | National Instruments | 512.683.6376 | ni.com/newsletter

I've been programming LabVIEW since around 3.1 / 4.0. Over the years and versions, I've found it necessary to approach a lot of the new datatypes and algorithms with some healthy skepticism because I don't think we're usually given a "fair and balanced" overview. Some of the things that are highly promoted that bring "ease of use" for beginners (and I *do* understand the importance of that when you're growing your LabVIEW user base) can carry significant performance penalties that are mentioned in more of a whisper, if at all. I'd just like a more full disclosure of the tradeoffs -- the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Waveforms -- very rarely use them, unless required for analysis functions. I have a vague notion (between a belief and a memory) that they used to carry a significant performance penalty compared to arrays, but that the gap is now much smaller. Still, I'm most comfortable with my old habit of using data arrays. Some of this came about because a lot of my work uses counters where I may have a variable "dt" value or where my AI is clocked by a counter and the "dt" isn't internally generated.
Dynamic signals -- have never used them. Have no clear idea what good they're supposed to be, and they seem to be tied in primarily with Express VI's, which I have also studiously avoided.
Variants -- Use them only slightly. Performance issues are a question mark. Exception: have learned that the implementation of Variant properties allows their use as an efficient way to create associates for string lookup tables.
Digital Waveform -- have typically avoided it except when graphing digital data during debug. Haven't found any compelling reasons to use it. I do like the notion of a compress/expand capability for sparse digital data, but haven't exercised it enough to trust the implementation.
Recap: I don't need more simple "how-to's" in the help. I need a LOT more "why bother's" that include both pros and cons.

How to get hebrew characters to work with data merge?

I'm trying to work with data merge with Hebrew characters and get gibrish on the panel, merging and export.
I've tried to change the CSV file to Unicode and change the language setting but it still don't work.
I've worked with data merge before in English and it work perfectly.
Any Ideas? is this a bug? software constrains?

Try this:
Save your file as a UTF-16 BE (Big Endian) file.
Import showing options in ID. I'm on a PC, choose the below regardless.
Should look like this in ID.
Apologies to Farsi-speaking people everywhere. I pulled some text out of a Farsi text file to make up this tab-delimited merge file. I don't speak it, so it is likely servely non-sensical.
The text editor being used here (first screen shot) is the OpenSource NotePad++. I am also not using the ME version of ID.
Take care, Mike

Delta with data field works if delta not run everyday?

Hello,
I have a doubt related with how delta works,
I have a generic datasource with delta behaviour. In delta, i selected a date field to control delta and i put one day for limit.
So, my doubt is:
I have a table with records with delta date 24.05.2007.
Last delta extraction were at 23.04.2007.
When i execute delta infopackage at 26.04.2007, i'm i going to get all records since 23.04.2007?
Thanks
Best Regards,
Maria

Hi,
if delta initialisation was done you'll get the diff between current run date and last delta run

Problem with Date fields in Search panel

Hi all,
I use TP2 and in my jspx page I have a search panel with two date fields and table where the results is displayed. But there is a problem with these date fields, because when I search dates the results is nothing even I retype the date from table. Also I have other pages where this problem exist with same structure.
Could somebody help me with some advice?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Frank,
Thanks for the answer.
I use the standart method to make search panel with drag and drop the data control to the page. The other search panel fileds work fine, only the date fileds are problem. Maybe something in view object doesn't work properly.
Here I post the code from my page.

Also I have a result table for the search panel, but I don't believe the problem can be there because it works fine when I search in fields different by inputDate.
Do you have any suggestions?

Problem with Date-Field

Hi,
I have a problem with a date-field. Maybe I must describe the problem more detailled, but first I just want to ask you, if you know the following error-message: "21.10.2010 kommt nicht in der Menge der erlaubten Werte vor". I don't know the correct translation but it must be something like this: "21.10.2010 does not occur in the quantity of the permitted values". I don't find the position in the sourcecode of this message. And I know, that this message isn't thrown by a functionblock from SAP. So what is the describtion of this message?

Yes I have a date field in my form. Ok I must describe it more detailled. I have an employee searchfield. After select an employee you see a form. After filling the form you click on "Send". It creates a ticket and sends the data to the Backend and jumps back to the employee search field. Untill this point everything works fine. There is no problem with the datefield. Now I want to create the form. I choose an employee and fill the form. But now it comes this message. But not after clicking the "send" button. The message comes after changing some data (e.g. change a radio button). So it looks like a validationproblem, but only at the second creationprocess. Maybe the first date is in some cache? I don't know...

Writing query to Oracle DB with DATE field in it.

When I try to execute the following query on Oracle DB I get an exception. I know that the problem is with Date representation on the query string. Please, if anyone knows how to make it work help me.
query = "INSERT INTO MYTABLE (NAME , BIRTHDAY ) VALUES ('" + person.getName() +" ' , " + person.getBirthday() + " )";
statment.executeUpdate(query);
getBirthday() returns java.sql.Date object.
Please, please, help to work it out!

Thank you, very much.
I've put the record into DB!!!! Hurray!
But now I have another problem. I've got a ResultSet & I'd like to extract the DATE from it. But how?
The Exception text states that the name of the field (Birthday) is incorrect.
My code:
Date birthday = resultSet.getDate("Birthday");
All other fields are perfectly well extracted, but they are Strings.

Expose that function as service method, and execution form backing bean.
It is working properly for all other column except the date field.(May be beause of date format, as we cannot apply To_Char, or ToDate in view criterai for date format)
Tried all possible combination but no luck

Working with Data Sets

Hello,
First I am using Dreamweaver CS4 and working with the built in data table templates. I am using the spotlight with detail area option. I have it working fine and the data displays correctly. However there are no labels generated with the data. An example is a phone number shows as 123-456-7890 just as it is in the data table, but I would like a label for that field to show the output as Cell Phone: 123-456-7890.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know I am probably missing something rather simple.
MJMolloy01

Well, I figured the solution out myself. I guess a little peace and quite will always help work through the issue. I found that if I go into code mode and insert a label tag in front of the dynamic data it works fine.
If there is an easier way of doing this feel free to explain.
Thanks,
MJMolloy01
