myRs=myStmt.executeQuery("select i_col,col_name from tab_col")
i=0
while (myRs.next()):
list= myRs.getString("I_COL")+','+myRs.getString("COL_NAME")
i have a jython code to run a sql statement i want to store all the row of the sql into a single variable. I used to list to store the value but its always storing only the single line , so is there is way to append all the rows and keep adding to single variable.
Thanks so much for your help.
With that code you overwrite the "list" variable in every iteration of the while loop (= is an assignment), try something like this (I used rs rather than list to avoid a name clash with the builtin function list()):
myRs=myStmt.executeQuery("select i_col,col_name from tab_col")
rs=[]
i=0
while (myRs.next()):
rs.append(myRs.getString("I_COL")+','+myRs.getString("COL_NAME"))

The list starts empty. Then I want to append an value to it for each iteration in a loop if certain condition is met. I don't see append option in Variable Operation.
You can use string split for this, assuming you know of a delimiter that won't ever be in your list of values. I've used a semi-colon, and $local_joinedList$ starts off empty.
If (certain condition is met)
Variable Operation: $local_joinedList$;$local_newValue$ To $local_joinedList$
End If
String Operation: Split "$local_joinedList$" with delimiter ";" and assign output to $my-list-variable$
This overwrites $my-list-variable$.
If you need to append to an existing list, you can do it the same way by using String Join first, append your values to the string, then split it again afterward.
String Operation: Join elements of "$my-list-variable$" by delimiter ";" and assign output to $local_joinedList$
Lists are buggy in Automation Anywhere and have been buggy for several versions. I suggest not using them and instead use XML.
It it a much more versatile approach and allows you to do much more that with lists. You can search, filter, insert, delete etc.
For the example you mention, you would use the "Insert Node" command.
Throwing in my 2 cents as well - my-list-variable appears to be the only mutable in size list you can work with. From my experience with 10.7, it only grows though.
So if you made a list with 60 values, and you wanted to use my-list-variable again for 55, you'll need to clear out those remaining 5 values and create an if condition when looping over the list to ensure the values are not whatever you set those 5 values to be.
I used lime's answer as a reference (thanks lime!) to populate a list variable from some data in an Excel spreadsheet.
Here's my automation for it:
I am using JasperStudio 5.6.0.final and the report is not generated dynamically from java code.
I have a problem with getting single value from parameter.
In the report I have a parameter A of a type List.
It is not a problem to use it in a clause as IN statement:
AND $X{IN, USER.ID_USER, A}
But I have a problem to get a single value from that list.
I know that my List has always 10 values.
So I want to use it in query, but I don't know how to write the statement:
AND USER.ID_USER = *first_value_of_list_A*
e.g.
AND USER.ID_USER = $P!{Atrybuty}.get(1)
doesn't work
I tried also to assign parameter value to a variable, but as I know it isn't possible to use variables in queryString.
So my question: How to get single value from parameter List in queryString.
What you need to do for this is use
AND $X{IN, USER.ID_USER, A}
Set A type as Collection and that will allow you to even have a single selection or multi selection or just a single value.
Hope that this helps.
I have the following variables:
[string]$eth_netmask = "ext_netmask"
[string]$ext_netmask = "255.255.252.0"
$($eth_netmask) is returning ext_netmask. I was expecting 255.255.252.0
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the help in advance!
The command $eth_netmask returns the value of the variable named eth_netmask. The expression $(something) has nothing to do with variables, but instead evaluates the contents of the parentheses before evaluating the rest of the statement. That means that the statement $($eth_netmask) will evaluate in two steps:
1: $($eth_netmask) evaluates to the command "ext_netmask"
2: "ext_netmask" evaluates as a command which has the result of printing ext_netmask to the output.
This format is unnecessary since variables are normally resolved before the rest of the command anyway. My recommendation would be to avoid needing to do this at all if there is any alternative. Putting this kind of roundabout referencing into a piece of code can only cause problems. However, if you can't avoid it for some reason, it is possible to reference a variable the name of which is stored in another variable.
[string]$eth_netmask = "ext_netmask"
[string]$ext_netmask = "255.255.252.0"
Get-Variable -Name $eth_netmask -ValueOnly
This is the point at which the $(something) syntax becomes useful. If you need to use the value that you have just returned in another command, such as if the value was an ip that you were trying to ping, you might do something like this:
Test-Connection $(Get-Variable -Name $eth_netmask -ValueOnly)
As I rarely loop into a field symbol, I often forget to use ASSIGNING instead of INTO which will promptly cause an abend. Is there a valid use of INTO with <fieldsymbol> or is this something that the syntax checker really ought to catch?
LOOP...INTO is perfectly valid but it will work differently. LOOP...INTO transports the values to the structure provided but ASSIGNING assigns the field symbol to the actual table rows.
The only difference is if you are going to change the table contents. See the following:
* Changes all entries in the CARRID column of lt_flights to 50.
LOOP AT lt_flights ASSIGNING <flight>.
<flight>-carrid = 50.
ENDLOOP.
* Does not change the entries in lt_flights (MODIFY...FROM would be required).
ASSIGN <flight> TO ls_flight.
LOOP AT lt_flights INTO <flight>.
<flight>-carrid = 50.
ENDLOOP.
LOOP...INTO with a field symbol would be useless unless you had some kind of dynamic programming requirement.
It is valid when <fieldsymbol> was previously assigned to a structure which has the type of the lines of the table you loop over.
It is a perfectly valid statement:
APPEND INITIAL LINE TO lt_foo ASSIGNING <ls_foo>.
READ TABLE lt_bar INTO <ls_foo> INDEX 1.
A field symbol just takes the place of a variable - at almost any point - so the syntax check can't flag this as invalid. It might issue a warning, though...
I want to use the foreach container to iterate through a folder matching something like: "Filename_MMYYYY.xls". That's easy enough to do; but I can't seem to find a way to parse the MMYYYY from the filename and add it to a variable (or something) that i can use as a lookup field for my DimDate table. It seems possible with a flat file data source, but not an excel connection. I'm using Visual Studio 2005. Please help!
Do I understand correctly that you want to take your filename, deconstruct it, and get a date-typed variable out of it? If so, then you need to start with the filename variable that you get from the Foreach Loop - I'll call that variable #FileName.
First, make a new variable - #FileDate - as a DateTime type. Go to its properties window (F4), and set the EvaluateAsExpression property to True. Edit the expression, and type in something like this (you may need to tweak):
(DT_DBTIMESTAMP)(SUBSTRING(#FileName, 12, 4) + "-" + SUBSTRING(#FileName, 10, 2) + "-01")
Now, if you want to take that date value and use it in your Data Flow, you can just use it straight in a Derived Column transform, or in an expression on your Lookup SQL statement, or wherever.
