Hello,

I am getting some strange errors while trying to compile the object type function TST. The situation is this. I have an Object type POLISAS.PolisasObj, that has been stripped down just to represent the problem:
Header:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE POLISAS.PolisasObj 
AS OBJECT
(
nPARD_VIEN_VER_ID    NUMBER, 
  MEMBER FUNCTION GetPardVienVerID RETURN NUMBER ,
  MEMBER PROCEDURE SetPardVienVerID ( nPardVienVerIDParm IN NUMBER ),
  MEMBER FUNCTION TST RETURN NUMBER
  );

Body:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE BODY POLISAS.PolisasObj AS
   
  --PARD_VIEN_VER_ID---    
  MEMBER FUNCTION GetPardVienVerID RETURN NUMBER IS
  BEGIN
    RETURN nPARD_VIEN_VER_ID;
  END;
  -----  
  MEMBER PROCEDURE SetPardVienVerID ( nPardVienVerIDParm IN NUMBER ) IS
  BEGIN
    nPARD_VIEN_VER_ID := nPardVienVerIDParm;
  END;
  
  -------------  
  MEMBER FUNCTION TST RETURN NUMBER 
  IS
  BEGIN
    --POLISAS.PolisasObj.SetPardVienVerID(1); /* 1st row */
    --SetPardVienVerID(1);                    /* 2nd row */
    RETURN 1;
   END;
  
END;


As it is given above, PolisasObj compiles without errors.
Here are the problems:
1. If I uncomment the 1st row, I receive the error "PLS-00306: Wrong number or types of arguments in call to SetPardVienVerID". For me that makes no sense. 1 is a number as far as I know. And it is the only parameter... Wink
2. If I uncomment the 2nd row, I receive the error "PLS-00363: expression 'SELF' cannnot be used as assignement target". Well, maybe it makes sense, I dont know. I tried googling on this error, but found nothing that could help me to compile this line.
A hint please!
3. If I make TST not a function, but a procedure, the 1st row gives the same error as mentioned before, but the 2nd row compiles OK! The bad news are that I need a function... Now I am totally confused. I have noticed no compilation differences between functions and procedures before. What are they? Shocked
4. What is essentially the difference between the 1st and 2nd line? I think it is all the same, because as if it was with packages, I could call the other procedures and functions of the same package not using long notation <schema>.<package_name>.<procedure_name>, but a short one: <procedure_name>... Confused

I used the scott schema for testing. Adding a parameter (SELF IN OUT PolisasObj) to the TST function seems to solve the problem.

SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE SCOTT.PolisasObj
  2  AS OBJECT
  3  (
  4  nPARD_VIEN_VER_ID	  NUMBER,
  5    MEMBER FUNCTION GetPardVienVerID RETURN NUMBER ,
  6    MEMBER PROCEDURE SetPardVienVerID ( nPardVienVerIDParm IN NUMBER ),
  7    MEMBER FUNCTION TST (SELF IN OUT PolisasObj) RETURN NUMBER
  8    );
  9  /

Type created.

The following takes it a step further, adding a parameter to the TST function to pass to the SetPardVienVerID procedure and testing it, just guessing at what you might be trying to do.


 
SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE SCOTT.PolisasObj
  2  AS OBJECT
  3  (
  4  nPARD_VIEN_VER_ID	  NUMBER,
  5    MEMBER FUNCTION GetPardVienVerID RETURN NUMBER ,
  6    MEMBER PROCEDURE SetPardVienVerID ( nPardVienVerIDParm IN NUMBER ),
  7    MEMBER FUNCTION TST (SELF IN OUT PolisasObj, p_num IN NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER
  8    );
  9  /

Type created.

Aaargh! Don't erase and change completly your post.
Now my previous answer seems completly silly.

Previous OP post was somthing like:
"SCOTT@orcl_11g>" are you working in 11g?
We are working in 9i, this seems to be the problem.

Michel

OK, sorry. I thought I changed it in a moment before anybody could read it and did not notice you had already answered to it Wink
