SUBPFPARAM

SUBPPARAM

SUBPFPARAM

This is similar to subpparam but used for flexible parameter

-- Note: different from subpparam, pnames and ptypes are INput only wpiutl.subpfparam( objnum IN NUMBER, name IN VARCHAR2, subname IN VARCHAR2, prename IN VARCHAR2, pnames IN tvarchar, ptnames IN OUT tvarchar, ptypes IN tvchar3, status OUT NUMBER, misdef OUT VARCHAR2, nename OUT VARCHAR2);

TBD

SUBPPARAM

Resolves overloading subprograms by parameter names and returns types of the parameters that are listed in pnames

Overload 1 wpiutl.subpparam( objnum IN NUMBER, name IN VARCHAR2, subname IN VARCHAR2, prename IN VARCHAR2, status OUT NUMBER, misdef OUT VARCHAR2, nename OUT VARCHAR2);

SELECT object_id FROM dba_objects WHERE object_name = 'WPIUTL';

      

       OBJECT_ID

      ----------

           20542

           20543

      

      DECLARE

       mVal VARCHAR2(30);

       nVal VARCHAR2(30);

       sVal NUMBER;

      BEGIN

        wpiutl.subpparam(20542, 'WPIUTL', 'SUBPPARAM', 'SYS', sVal, mVal, nVal);

        dbms_output.put_line('Status is ' || TO_CHAR(sVal));

        dbms_output.put_line('MisDef is ' || mVal);

        dbms_output.put_line('NeName is' || nVal);

      END;

      /
