Data from as400 imports into SQL with blank fields which is the way as400 outputs records. How can you insert previous record of data null or blank field. ex:
ONETWO
a1
2
3
b1
2
3
Would want:
ONETWO
a1
a2
a3
b1
b2
b3
I need to pass in null/blank value in the date field or declare the field as string and convert date back to string.
I tried the 2nd option but I am having trouble converting the two digits of the recordset (rs_get_msp_info(2), 1, 2))) into a four digit yr. But it will only the yr in two digits.
The mfg_start_date is delcared as a string variable
mfg_start_date = CStr(CDate(Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 3, 2) & "/" & Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 5, 2) & "/" & Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 1, 2)))
option 1
I will have to declare the mfg_start_date as date but I need to send in a blank value for this variable in the stored procedure. It won't accept a null or blank value.
With refresh_shipping_sched
.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection
.CommandText = "spRefresh_shipping_sched"
.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("ret_val", adInteger, adParamReturnValue)
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@option", adInteger, adParamInput, 4, update_option)
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@mfg_ord_num", adChar, adParamInput, mfg_ord_num_length, "")
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@mfg_start_date", adChar, adParamInput, 10, "")
Set rs_refresh_shipping_sched = .Execute
End
Please help
Was wondering if there is easy anyway to autopopulate a field by pulling a value from a field in the previous record?
For example, I have a table with fields name "Dist_From" and "Dist_To". When I add a new record I would like it to populate the "Dist_From" field with the "Dist_to" value from the previous record.
TIA

Does anyone know the trick when inserting an empty variable into a MSSQL table for it to show as null and not a blank or a zero?
It is a php variable.
Thanks
i have a trigger on a table right now... when fields are inserted, theres a text field inserted and i want to check if that text field = '' (the empty string, not NULL) and if it doesn't equal that, then perform some row updates on other tables, but if it is empty, to not do anything else in the trigger... right now i have this:
Code:
IF ((SELECT Note FROM XATPoDetail WHERE ReqNbr = (SELECT ReqNbr FROM Inserted)) LIKE(''))
Note is the text field, XATPoDetail is the table where its being inserted into. I had to do the select FROM the table because it wouldn't let me select a text data type from the "Inserted" virtual table
but it tells me me "Error 279: The text, ntext, and image data types are invalid in this subquery or aggregate expression"

My goal is to update the "PriorInsert" field with the "DateInserted" from the previously inserted record where the WorkOrder, MachineNo, and Operator are all in the same group.
While trying to get to the correct previous record, I wrote the query below.
P.S. The attached .txt file includes a create and insert tbl_tmp sampling.
select top 1
a.ID,
a.WorkOrder,
a.MachineNo,
a.Operator,
a.PriorInsert,
[code]...
Thanks for your time:
Background: After Insert Trigger runs a sproc that inserts values into another table IF items on the form were

Hello - I have a column in a table (SQL 2005 EE) with a Data Type of smalldatetime and a Default Value of getdate(). When I insert a record from my webpage the new record contains the correct date via getdate(). However if I update the record from my webpage the date of the record then becomes NULL. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do about this from sql server? I am inserting/updating via an formview and ODS, using standard insert/update methods.
Cheers

Hi all!
I'm runing an access application that has an sql server 2000 as its back end. Up to few weeks ago everything was fine, but now when a user tries to add a record from an access form into the database I get an error that it cannot insert a null value into the field.
The two fields that cause the problem do not allow nulls as they keep the user name and the time that the record was inserted into the table.
I trace the access program but I cannot pinpoint where the valuees are inserted into the table. All the other fields are bound on the form. When the problem first appeard I found out that at that same day the active directory server that keeps the logins to the network was restarded. The problem appears on the live database that the users use and as well as on my test sql server that is not connected to the main database server but is instaled on my pc together with the access application.
But I still have to login onto the same network to use my pc that is part of the same domain
The authentication on the sql server 2000 is windows only.
Any solutions or directions for this proplems?
Thanks for any help

I'm sorry, this question has a pretty long preamble, but bear with me as this will fully explain my problem, and save a number of clarification questions.I am using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express, with SQL Server 2005. After reading a Microsoft article saying that it was much better to use a three tier architecture with data adapters than to write explicit queries, I have used this approach extensively, and generally it works very well. Typical code patterns are: - Dim taPassenger As New ShippingTableAdapters.VPassengerTableAdapter Dim tbpassenger As Shipping.VPassengerDataTable Dim trpassenger As Shipping.VPassengerRow ..... ' to process all passengers from a voyage: - tbpassenger = taPassenger.GetDataByVOYid(Voyageid) For Nbr As Integer = 1 To tbpassenger.Count trpassenger = tbpassenger(Nbr - 1) ' I now have the row available in properly-typed fields, eg trpassenger.vpxName ... Next ' to read and process a single passenger tbpassenger = tapassenger.GetDataByVPXid(VPXid) trpassenger = tbpassenger(0)The table adapter has been created with Insert,Update, Delete methods. Thus you can assign values to row fields, and then update the row: - trpassenger.VPXName = "New Name" .... tapassenger.update(trpassenger)There are actually several overloads of the update method: you could have written a field list, like this, where the names (VPXid etc) would be defined in my program as variables of the appropriate type for the corresponding column. tapassenger.update(VPXid, VPXName, VPXAge, ....HOWEVER, this doesn't work properly if you have non-string data that could be null. Thus if the fourth field is a foreign key that could be null, if you write Dim VPXVoyId as Nullable(of GUID) VPXVoyid = nothing tapassenger.update(VPXid, VPXname, VPXAge, VPXVoyid, ...or Trpassenger.VPXVoyid = Nothing tapassenger.update(trpassenger) you do NOT put a null value into the database. Instead you store a value of "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000". You can solve this annoying problem in two ways: -A. If you will ALWAYS be storing a null value at this point of your program, then simply write the update statement like this: - tapassenger.update(VPXid, VPXname, VPXAge, Nothing, ...Here "Nothing" actually means "DBNull" even though it doesn't mean this when used in a normal VB assignment (and neither does DBNull).B You can use the SetxxxxNULL method: - If trpassenger.VPXVoyid = nothing then trpassenger.SetVPXVoyidNull End If tapassenger.update(trpassenger) Thus when the program logic is complex and there are many paths to the update statement I will often put statements such as this in front of the update statement, using SetxxxxxNull for all non-string values that may be null. You don't need to worry about string values because the Nullvalue property can be used to simply say that Null values are empty, and it all works properly, but for reasons unknown Microsoft have prohibited this for other data types. Now at last we get to my question, which is "How do I do the equivalent for an Insert?" tapassenger.insert does not have any overloads, and the only form is tapassenger.insert(field list). But this creates the problem above: if VPXVoyid = nothing then I insert the not-null value of "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000". If I COULD use the form tapassenger.insert(trpassenger), then I'd have another problem: if you haven't set trpassenger (for example with trpassenger = tbpassenger(0)) then it will not exist, so you will get an exception when you try to reference it. Yet you can't write If isnothing(trpassenger) then trpassenger = new shipping.vpassengerrow) (I've tries this both as an assignment, and as a Dim statement) end ifSo far I can think of only two solutions, both awful: -a/ Use multi-choice logic to choose an appropriate insert statement. If there is only one or two possibly-null fields, I could write:- If field4 = nothing then trpassenger.insert (VPXid, VPXname, VPXAge, Nothing, .. However if there is more than one possibly-null field, you need (2 to the power of nbr-of-possibly-null-fields) insert statements, with of course a lot of testing to choose which oneb/ I could insert the record with nulls, then read it back and update it. Surely there is a better way! Help! Thank you, Robert Barnes.

Hello everyone,
I am using DTS to transform data from foxpro.when it meets the date of NULL,it fails and says"Insert Error , column 4( 'Coloumn_name ',DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), Status 6 data overflow ".
And then i try to open the DTS Transform Data task and do a preview of the data from the 'Source' side.The Null values are treated as "1899-12-30".
After reading something ,i try to write an ActiveX scripting Task to solve this problem using the function of "IsDate()",but it fails with exceptions.
Now I don't know what to do.could anyone give me some suggestion?Anything will be appreciated!ThankX in advance!
I have a function that updates a table in sql server
If a field is left blank I want the database field set to Null. I use:sqlCmd.Parameter.Add("@somefield, someintvalue) to pass all my values to the database.
if someintvalue is null I want to set @somefield to dbnull
How can I do this? I get errors if I submit a null integer when there is a foreign key constraint. What is the best way to handle this? should I just make all parameters objects? so that I can set them to DBNull.Value?
Also on a side note, when you are populating fields from a datatable, is there a better way to set the values (i.e. of a textbox) than cheking for DBNull before assigning?

I have a table adapter for one of my SQL2005 tables, and in two different fields I accept a date time. Now 99% of the times, new rows to this table will be filled out using DateTIme.Now(), as a Time Stamp is what I'm going for.
Here is the line of code in question...cops_current_data_adapter.Insert(ProductOrder, Convert.ToInt16(Session["StationId"].ToString()),
PartNumber, DateTime.Now, DateTime.Now, Convert.ToInt16(qty), 0);
The second DateTime.Now is the one that can be null, and it's throwing a formatting error everytime I try and drop it in there. It's a FormatException, and there's not much more to the example except unhelpful tips like be careful when conveting a string to a dateTime, which I'm not doing. Needless to say for the code to compile, and then throw a Format error at runtime is a bit frustraiting.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated

I hope you can help me. I posted this in the microsoft sql server newsgroupa few days ago and got no response so I thought I'd try here. If I canprovide any clarification I'll be glad to do so.I'm trying to calculate a column based on the value of the previous record.I'm not very experienced with SQL-Server.I'm using the following table:CREATE TABLE tblPayment([PaymentID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,[LoanID] [int] NULL ,[PaymentPeriod] [int] NULL ,[PaymentRecDate] [datetime] NULL ,[PaymentAMT] [money] NULL)I have a view based on this table. That view has the following calculatedcolumnsBeginningBalance: For the first record, this is equal to the loan amountfrom the loan table. For each additional record this is equal to the endingbalance from the previous payment record.Interest: BeginningBalance * the monthly interest rate from the loantablePrincipal: PaymentAMT - InterestEndingBalance: BeginningBalance - PrincipalIt might seem I could use a subquery to calculate the Beginning Balance asin:SELECT LoanID, PaymentPeriod, PaymentAMT,(SELECT SUM(PaymentAMT) FROM tblPayment AS tbl1WHERE tbl1.LoanID = tblPayment.LoanID AND tbl1.PaymentPeriod <tblPayment.PaymentPeriod) AS BeginBalanceFROM tblPaymentWHERE (LoanID = @LoanID)But this will not work, because the interest is calculated on the previousmonth's balance. I need to find a way to loop through the recordset. Isthis possible?Thank you,--Derek CooperDatabase9www.database9.com

I have a query that shows me a list of what employees that are on site assuming that employee badged in correctly. My problem is I need to know when an employee has two entries in a row that are "In" without have an "Out" entry.
For example, if John badges in at 8:00 Am and leaves without badging out, when he arrives the next day at 8:00 AM and badges in the system simply would show him as in with no record of him ever leaving correctly.
I am not sure how to return the correct result. Can I formulate a query that would display a Who's In list where the previous entry was NOT and Out?

Hello
just wondering, if I can get help with a table (Table A) , where there are few dates and numbers, I have to relate this table to another table (Table B) , where I have whole year working dates
I want to write an expression while making dataset, that if date in table B matches table A, it just get the number from the next column from table A, if it does not matches - it should go back to the date (in table A) - where there is a number.
Like table B has working dates for march, but there are only two dates in table A , for 3/2 (and number is 300) and 3/20 (number 200). So In dataset I want all dates from table B and from 3/2 to 3/19 300 in number column and 200 on 3/20.
Thanks in advance for your help
I'm creating a report in SSRS where we want to do a week-over-week or month-over-month analysis. We have each month and the metrics in a table. By sorting the table ascending, I can grab the previous record using the Previous function in a cell. However, when I order the table descending the previous record is not the correct record to get. In that case I want to grab the next record rather than the previous record. How can I invert the previous function? Or how can i grab the next record in the table rather than the previous?
Thanks!
