CT_FETCH error in PowerBuilder Program - overflow

I'm still learning PowerBuilder and trying to get familiar with it. I'm receiving the following error when I try to run a program against a specific document in my database:
ct_fetch(): user api layer: internal common library error: The bind of result set item 4 resulted in an overflow. ErrCode: 2.
What does this error mean? What is item 4? This is only when I run this program against a specific document in my database, any other document works fine. Please see code below:

Save yourself a ton of headaches and use datawindows... You'd reduce that entire script to about 10 lines of code.

Paul Horan gave you good advice. This would be simple using DataWindows or DataStores. Terry Voth is on the right track for your problem.
In your code, Variable l_pvds_obj_id needs to be the same type as gx_l_doc_obj_id because if you get a result, it will always be equal to it. From the apparent naming scheme it was intended to be long. This is the kind of stuff we look for in peer reviews.
A few other things:
Most of the time you want SQLCode not SQLDbCode but you didn't say what database you're using.
After you UPDATE crt_script you need to check the result.
I don't see COMMIT or ROLLBACK. Autocommit isn't suitable when you need to update multiple tables.
You aren't using most of the values from the first SELECT. Perhaps you've simplified your code for posting or troubleshooting.

ODP.NET, Managed reading LONG column results in ORA-01009

I'm trying to get the source of a view in my .net app.
To do this, I query DBA_VIEWS: it has a column TEXT with exactly what I need. The type is LONG.
If I do it using the Unmanaged driver, everything works as expected.
The same code with Managed driver results in ORA-01009: missing mandatory parameter.
Adding a transaction around the command and using breakpoint and "slow" steps sometimes results in the same code working.
ODP.NET version is 19, Oracle DB is 18c Express Edition. Strangely enough, the same code works just fine with Oracle Database 12c regardless of driver type.
Is there maybe some setting I need to change on the database or in code? I'm completely lost here.
Code I'm using for testing:
Imports System.Data.Common
Imports Oracle.ManagedDataAccess
'Imports Oracle.DataAccess
Module Views
Function CreateCommand(Connection As DbConnection) As System.Data.Common.DbCommand
Dim cmd As Data.Common.DbCommand = Connection.CreateCommand()
With CType(cmd, Client.OracleCommand)
.BindByName = True
.FetchSize = &H100000 '1 Mb
.InitialLONGFetchSize = -1 'the entire LONG or LONG RAW data is prefetched and stored in the fetch array.
.InitialLOBFetchSize = -1 'the entire LOB data is prefetched and stored in the fetch array.
End With
Return cmd
End Function
Sub query()
Try
Using DBConnection = New Client.OracleConnection("User ID=TESTUSER;Password=TESTPWD;Data Source=TESTDB;Pooling=True")
DBConnection.Open()
Using DBConnection.BeginTransaction()
Using cmdSQL = CType(CreateCommand(DBConnection), Client.OracleCommand)
cmdSQL.CommandText = "select TEXT from DBA_VIEWS where VIEW_NAME = :0"
Dim p = cmdSQL.CreateParameter()
p.ParameterName = "0"
p.Value = "TEST_VIEW"
cmdSQL.Parameters.Add(p)
Dim sw = Stopwatch.StartNew
Using rdr = cmdSQL.ExecuteReader
rdr.FetchSize = 2 ^ 20
While rdr.Read
Dim row(rdr.FieldCount - 1) As Object
rdr.GetProviderSpecificValues(row)
Dim x = row(0)
Console.WriteLine($"{x.ToString.Length} bytes")
End While
End Using
Console.WriteLine($"{sw.ElapsedMilliseconds} ms")
End Using
End Using
End Using
Catch ex As Exception
Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString)
End Try
End Sub
End Module
You can use an anonymous block with output parameter and a call to ExecuteNonQuery. Your command text will be
"begin select TEXT into :0 from DBA_VIEWS where VIEW_NAME = :1; end;"
Add 2 parameters. Make sure that
' Parameter #1 has
p.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
p.OracleDbType = OracleDbType.Long
p.Size = 1000000
And use command cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(). Then, when parameter is retrieved, just use its value
Dim txt As String = cmd.Parametersp[0].Value.ToString()
It's a pity, Oracle deprecated LONG data type for ages but LONG data is still used many times for internal data.
You could write a function and then get the data by calling the function:
create or replace function GetViewText(v in varchar2) return clob is
ret CLOB;
BEGIN
FOR aRow IN (SELECT TEXT FROM DBA_VIEWS WHERE VIEW_NAME = v) LOOP
ret := aRow.TEXT;
-- or ret := TO_CLOB(aRow.TEXT);
END LOOP;
RETURN ret;
END;
Yet another way from this answer is to (ab)use dbms_xmlgen.getxml.
We can either use it to query a single view's code (as in my original question)
with input as (
select
:0 as VIEW_NAME
from dual
)
SELECT
substr(
text_xml,
instr(text_xml, '<LONGCOL>') + length('<LONGCOL>'),
instr(text_xml, '</LONGCOL>', -1) - (instr(text_xml, '<LONGCOL>') + length('<LONGCOL>'))
) as TEXT
from
(
-- getxml can return malformed xml (which is good in this case)
-- while getxmltype can not.
select dbms_xmlgen.getxml(q'{
SELECT TEXT as LONGCOL
FROM SYS.DBA_VIEWS
WHERE VIEW_NAME = '}' || input.VIEW_NAME || q'{'
}') as text_xml
from input
)
or create our own DBA_VIEWS version.
create or replace view APP_SCHEMA.DBA_VIEWS
as
select
OWNER, VIEW_NAME, TEXT_LENGTH,
case
when (TEXT_VC is not null and TEXT_LENGTH <= 4000)
then to_clob(TEXT_VC)
when TEXT is NULL
then NULL
else (
SELECT
substr(
text_xml,
instr(text_xml, '<LONGCOL>') + length('<LONGCOL>'),
--instr(text_xml, '</LONGCOL>', -1) - (instr(text_xml, '<LONGCOL>') + length('<LONGCOL>'))
TEXT_LENGTH
) as TEXT
from
(
-- getxml can return malformed xml (which is good in this case)
-- while getxmltype can not.
select dbms_xmlgen.getxml(q'{
SELECT TEXT as LONGCOL
FROM SYS.DBA_VIEWS
WHERE OWNER = '}' || OWNER || q'{'
and VIEW_NAME = '}' || VIEW_NAME || q'{'
}') as text_xml
from dual
)
)
end as TEXT,

Convert vbscript into rapid integration flowlanguage

I'm using Pervasive 9.2 and would like to somehow convert the vbscript into pervasives RIFL language. I want to execute the code during a Process where the f(x) component is executed to run the code. As far as the Path to the xml data, I'll be using a Macro defining where the source data is and another to save the file as well.
Here is the vbscript code below:
Set xml = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
xml.async = False
count_var = 1
If xml.Load("c:\folder1\test.xml") Then
For Each accounts In xml.SelectNodes("//Accounts")
For Each account In Accounts.SelectNodes("./Account")
If count_var > 1 Then
Set accountEnum = xml.createNode(1, "Account" & count_var, "")
For Each child In Account.childNodes
accountEnum.appendChild(child.cloneNode(TRUE))
Next
Accounts.replaceChild accountEnum, Account
xml.save("c:\folder1\test.xml")
else
Set accountEnum = xml.createNode(1, "Account" & count_var, "")
For Each child In Account.childNodes
accountEnum.appendChild(child.cloneNode(TRUE))
Next
Accounts.replaceChild accountEnum, Account
xml.save("c:\folder1\test.xml")
End If
count_var = count_var + 1
Next
count_var = 1
Next
End If
Set node = Nothing
Set xml = Nothing

tiny_tds row count (affected_rows) not working

Perhaps I misunderstand how to get a count of rows returned by tiny_tds, which talks to ms sql server.
The following code produces -1 rows
sql = "EXEC [Arrivals] #startDate='#{#startDate}', #endDate='#{#endDate}'"
client = TinyTds::Client.new(...)
result = client.execute(sql)
result.each
p result.affected_rows (always returns -1)
This code, using a loop, counts rows correctly:
sql = "EXEC [Arrivals] #startDate='#{#startDate}', #endDate='#{#endDate}'"
client = TinyTds::Client.new(...)
result = client.execute(sql)
#no_of_arrivals = 0
result.each do |row|
#no_of_arrivals = #no_of_arrivals + 1
end
p #no_of_arrivals (returns correct count)
I did see affected_rows in action earlier today, on a table, and it worked. Could it have something to do with the SP... am I missing something obvious?

Reduced performance when creating object in classic asp

Trying to measure a website performance I created a simple logging sub to see what parts are slow during the execution of a classic asp page.
sub log(logText)
dim fs, f
set fs = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set f = fs.OpenTextFile("log.txt", 8, true)
f.WriteLine(now() & " - " & logText)
f.Close
set f = Nothing
set fs = Nothing
end sub
log "Loading client countries"
set myR = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet")
myR.ActiveConnection = aConnection
myR.CursorLocation=2
myR.CursorType=3
myR.LockType=2
myR.Source = "SELECT * FROM CC ORDER BY ccName ASC"
log "Opening db connection"
myR.open()
log "Opened db connection"
Here are the results (only showing the time part):
...
11:13:01 - Loading client countries
11:13:06 - Opening db connection
11:13:06 - Opened db connection
...
Creating the ADODBRecordSet and setting a few properties takes about 5 seconds. This does not always happen, sometimes the code is executed fast, but usually when I reload the page
after a few minutes the loading times are more or less the same as the example's. Could this really be a server/resources issue or should I consider rewriting the code? (My best option would be to write this in C#, but I have to study this code first before moving forward anyway).
Update: I added more code after receiving 1st comment to present a few more code. Explanation: The code creates a combobox (selection menu) with the retrieved countries (it continues where the previous piece of code stopped).
if not myR.eof then
clientCountries = myR.getrows
send("<option value='0'>Select country</option>")
log "Creating combobox options"
for i = 0 to ubound(clientCountries, 2)
if cstr(session("clientCountry")) <> "" then
if cstr(clientCountries(1, i)) = cstr(session("clientCountry")) then
isSelected = "selected" else isSelected = ""
end if
end if
if cstr(session("clientCountry")) = "" then
if cstr(clientCountries(1, i)) = "23" then
isSelected = "selected"
else
isSelected = ""
end if
end if
optionString = ""
optionString = clientCountries(2, i)
send("<option value='" & clientCountries(1, i) & "' " & isSelected & ">" & convertToProperCase(optionString) & "</option>")
next
log "Created combobox options"
end if
myR.Close
myR.ActiveConnection.close
myR.ActiveConnection = nothing
set myR = nothing
log "Loaded client countries"
The next two log entries are as follows:
11:13:06 - Creating combobox options
11:13:06 - Created combobox options
...
So far, the SELECT query as the rest of the page (2 or 3 queries more) is executed within the next second more or less. The only part slowing the page down is what you can see in the first part of the log. I'm not sure if I can profile the SQLServer, because I only have cPanel access. This is the only way I know of, unless there's something else I could have a look at.
First, Check your connection string, I've experienced slower times with certain providers. The best provider I've found for classic asp is sqloledb
Second, I would close my SQL object before I did the For statement on the GetRows() array. You don't want to keep that open if you don't need to.
Third, I'd use stored procedures. You'll get a performance improvement by saving on compile time.
Fourth, I would avoid doing a SELECT * statement at all cost, instead I would return ONLY the columns I need. (Your code looks like it only needs 2 columns)
Fifth, I would build indexes on the tables taking longer than expected.
If this doesn't resolve the issue, I would consider other languages/solutions. Not sure what the dataset looks like, so can't say if a flat-file database should be considered or not.
Also, try this for a recordset instead and see what happens:
Set myR = Server.CreateObject("Adodb.Recordset")
myR.Open "SELECT * FROM CC ORDER BY ccName ASC", aConnection
If myR.RecordCount > 0 Then clientCountries = myR.GetRows()
myR.Close
Set myR = Nothing
If IsArray(myR) Then
For ....

QTP 10 - A function return deifferent results for same data in run and debug modes

I would extremely appreciate if anyone can suggest a solution for this.
I have a simple function that is is expecting for a browser to be opened on a page containing a web list that each value of it represents an account. When an account is selected it's products (if any) are displayed.
The functions goal is to retrieve an index of an account with products (the first to be found) or -1 if there are none.
The problem, which I can't figure out what is causing it, is that the function will return the correct result when I'm debugging it - meaning running the code step by step using F10, but will return a wrong result if I'll run regularly (F5). This behavior is consistent and the function retrieves the same result each time for each type of runs, meaning it's not a bug that just makes the function return a random answer.
This is the function:
' #return: a random account index with products if one exists
' otherwise returns -1
Public Function getRandomAccountWithProducts()
On Error Resume Next
Set Page1 = Browser("micclass:=browser").Page("micclass:=Page")
Set br = Browser("micclass:=Browser")
originalURL = br.GetROProperty("URL")
br.Navigate Environment.Value("SOME URL") & "REST OF URL"
br.Sync
Page1.WebList("name:=accountId").Select "#1"
br.Sync
' Display only products
Page1.WebRadioGroup("name:=name0").Click
Page1.WebList("name:=name1").Select "Display None"
Page1.WebList("name:=name2").Select "Display None"
Page1.WebButton("value:=Apply","visible:=True").Click
' Init
numOfAccounts = Page1.WebList("name:=accountId").GetROProperty("items count") - 1
If numOfAccounts < 1 Then
getRandomAccountWithProducts = -1
Reporter.ReportEvent micFail, "Number of accounts","There are no accounts. No account with products exists"
Exit Function
End If
hasProducts = false
accountIndex = 1
' Get account with products
While ((Not hasProducts) AND (accountIndex =< numOfAccounts))
' Return account if has products
If Page1.WebList("name:=webListName","index:=0","micclass:=WebList","visible:=True").Exist(5) Then
hasProducts = true
End If
If (Not hasProducts) Then
accountIndex = accountIndex + 1
Page1.WebList("name:=accountId").Select "#" & accountIndex
End If
Wend
br.Navigate originalURL
Set Page1= Nothing
Set br = Nothing
' If no account has products, report and exit, else return selected account index
If Not hasProducts Then
Reporter.ReportEvent micFail,"Accounts","No account has products."
getRandomAccountWithProducts = -1
Else
getRandomAccountWithProducts = accountIndex
End If
If Err<>0 Then
errorMessage = "Error number: " & Err.Number & vbNewLine & "Error description: " & Err.Description & vbNewLine & "Error source: " & Err.Source
Reporter.ReportEvent micFail,"Run Time Error",errorMessage

I'm running on Pentium 4, 3.2 GHZ, 2 GB RAM, Win XP, SP 3,IE 7, QTP 10.0 Build 513
Thanks!
Have you considered using the all items property?
AllItems = Page1.WebList("name:=accountId").GetROProperty("all items")
SplitItems = Split(AllItems, ";")
Found = False
For i = 0 To UBound(AllItems)
If AllItems(i) = "<product>" Then
Found = True
Exit For
End If
Next
Solution was found thanks to Jonty,
The problem was in the following section:
' Get account with products
While ((Not hasProducts) AND (accountIndex =< numOfAccounts))
' Return account if has products
If Page1.WebList("name:=webListName","index:=0","micclass:=WebList","visible:=True").Exist(5) Then
hasProducts = true
End If
If (Not hasProducts) Then
accountIndex = accountIndex + 1
Page1.WebList("name:=accountId").Select "#" & accountIndex
End If
Wend
The first time entered to the loop, the account really didn't have any products, so obviously none was recognized. So accountIndex was increased by one and the corresponding account was selected in the web list.
No here lies the problem. The select method caused a refresh in the page and the condition Page1.WebList("name:=webListName","index:=0","micclass:=WebList","visible:=True").Exist(5)
was evaluated before the web list was loaded thus, returning false.
I considered that option, but I thought (wrongly apparently) that the Exist(5) should do the trick, but it seems that it works differently than expected.
Thanks,
Alon
