Good day all,

I have a question here.

I need to pass a parameter between procedures. The parameter type is varchar which contains a condition of select statement (is a where caluse).

For example:

procedure xxx is

x_select varchar2(2000);

Begin

if id = 0 then
x_select := 'and a.per_id = b.per_id'
else
x_select := 'and a.per_id = c.per_id'
end if;

grab_data(x_select);

end xxx;

procedure grab_data(x_select varchar2) is

Begin
select * from a, b, c
where dept = 'D'
||x_select;

end grab_data;


This is how i done in my package.
FYI,i am beginer in pl/sql.

This package wont work because (i think) it still recognize that x_select as a varchar, not an sql statement.

How i can make it work?

You COULD use dynamic SQL (Execute Immediate)

But that should be avoided like hell, because it causes all kinds of performance, debugging and security (SQL Injection) problems so it generally crates more problem than it solves, especially for beginners.

The better solution would be to re-write the query in a way so that it works with defined parameters (possibly by using CASE statements in the where clause)

I am using CASE Expressions, since the CASE expressions looks simple and easy to understand. Here is a part of my code :
and a.person_id   =	P_per_id
      and b.person_id in (
              CASE 
                WHEN dpdt_ind = 0 THEN   (select dpnt_person_id
                                          from 	  ben_elig_dpnt
                                          where	  trunc(sysdate) BETWEEN elig_strt_dt AND elig_thru_dt
                                          and     per_in_ler_id = P_ler_id 
                                          and     ELIG_PER_ELCTBL_CHC_ID in ( select ELIG_PER_ELCTBL_CHC_ID
                                                                              from Ben_elig_per_elctbl_chc
                                                                              where per_in_ler_id = P_ler_id 
                                                                              and pl_typ_id = P_plan_typ_id
                                                                              and oipl_id = P_opt_id
                                                                            )
                                       )
                WHEN dpdt_ind = 1 THEN 
                 (select dpnt_person_id from ben_elig_cvrd_dpnt_f where	per_in_ler_id = P_ler_id)
              END
);


When i run this procedure, there's error saying that 'single-row subquery returns more than one row'.. i know that the query will gives more than one id, thats why i'm using 'in' instead of '=' sign.

My question, is the CASE expressions always allow 1 value return only?

>My question, is the CASE expressions always allow 1 value return only?
The error has nothing to do with CASE.
It has to do with issuing a SELECT within PL/SQL.
The SELECT must contain the INTO clause, because results must go someplace.
INTO <variable>

Since <variable> can hold only a single value, error is thrown when more than 1 row returned.

The error that you've posted did not happen in the procedure that you've posted.

Nothing in that procedure will return a Too Many Rows error.

You need to look in the package APPS.MASBEN_GHS_ENRL_RPT_PKG at somewhere round line 226.

This procedure is inside this MASBEN_GHS_ENRL_RPT_PKG package.

I only run this single procedure (with parameter included) to see the output and the error came out. When i take out this part :
and b.person_id in (
              CASE 
                WHEN dpdt_ind = 0 THEN   (select dpnt_person_id
                                          from 	  ben_elig_dpnt
                                          where	  trunc(sysdate) BETWEEN elig_strt_dt AND elig_thru_dt
                                          and     per_in_ler_id = P_ler_id 
                                          and     ELIG_PER_ELCTBL_CHC_ID in ( select ELIG_PER_ELCTBL_CHC_ID
                                                                              from Ben_elig_per_elctbl_chc
                                                                              where per_in_ler_id = P_ler_id 
                                                                              and pl_typ_id = P_plan_typ_id
                                                                              and oipl_id = P_opt_id
                                                                            )
                                       )
                WHEN dpdt_ind = 1 THEN 
                 (select dpnt_person_id from ben_elig_cvrd_dpnt_f where	per_in_ler_id = P_ler_id)
              END
              )


and i try to put a select statement that returns 1 row, the procedure will run smoothly without this error and will print the correct output.

When i put again the statement that returns more than 1 row, the same error came out.

I stand corrected.

It looks like CASE will only return a single value, rather than a result set (which seems reasonable).

You could rewrite the case like this:
and ((dpdt_ind = 0 and b.person_id in (select dpnt_person_id
                                       from    ben_elig_dpnt
                                       where   trunc(sysdate) BETWEEN elig_strt_dt AND elig_thru_dt
                                       and     per_in_ler_id = P_ler_id 
                                       and     ELIG_PER_ELCTBL_CHC_ID in ( select ELIG_PER_ELCTBL_CHC_ID
                                                                           from Ben_elig_per_elctbl_chc
                                                                           where per_in_ler_id = P_ler_id 
                                                                           and pl_typ_id = P_plan_typ_id
                                                                           and oipl_id = P_opt_id
                                                                         )
                                      ))
    OR dpdt_ind = 1 and b_person_id in (select dpnt_person_id from ben_elig_cvrd_dpnt_f where per_in_ler_id = P_ler_id))

I re-write the codes as advised by JRowbottom. And my package works fine.
I learn a lot from you guys. Thank you very much to all of you. Smile
