SW_ADD_PACK_DATA

The SW_ADD_PACK_DATA procedure defines an item of pack data (a field name/value pair) that will be passed to iProcess with the next command procedure that is called.

Syntax

SW_ADD_PACK_DATA (
field_name
in varchar2(31),
field_value
in varchar2(255))

where:

•

field_name is a string that specifies the name of the iProcess field that is to be set.

•

field_value is a string that specifies the value to be set for field_name.

Note	Although the value is always passed as a string, it must be in the correct format for the type of field. No validation is performed on either the field name or field value.

Notes

SW_ADD_PACK_DATA allows pack data to be passed to iProcess when a command procedure is called:

•

You must call SW_ADD_PACK_DATA to specify the pack data immediately before calling the desired command procedure.

•

A call to SW_ADD_PACK_DATA defines a single item of pack data. If you want to define multiple items of pack data, you must make a SW_ADD_PACK_DATA call for each piece of data before calling the desired command procedure.

•

The pack data is only valid for the next command procedure that is called.

Examples

In the following example, two SW_ADD_PACK_DATA calls are used to define data values for the F1 and F2 fields, which are passed to iProcess when Case1 is started (using SW_CASESTART). The second SW_CASESTART call, starting Case2, does not have any data values.

begin
SSOLITE_DATA.SW_ADD_PACK_DATA ('F1', 'DataItem1');
SSOLITE_DATA.SW_ADD_PACK_DATA ('F2', 'DataItem2');
SSOLITE.SW_CASESTART ('CUSTREQ', ‑1, ‑1, 'Case1', 'user35', '', casenum, reqid);
SSOLITE.SW_CASESTART ('CUSTREQ', ‑1, ‑1, 'Case2', 'user35', '', casenum, reqid);
end;
/
commit;

If you want to specify pack data for the F1 and F2 fields for Case2 as well, you must call SW_ADD_PACK_DATA again before calling SW_CASESTART, as shown .

begin
SSOLITE_DATA.SW_ADD_PACK_DATA ('F1', 'DataItem1');
SSOLITE_DATA.SW_ADD_PACK_DATA ('F2', 'DataItem2');
SSOLITE.SW_CASESTART ('CUSTREQ', ‑1, ‑1, 'Case1', 'user35', '', casenum, reqid);
SSOLITE_DATA.SW_ADD_PACK_DATA ('F1', 'DataItem1');
SSOLITE_DATA.SW_ADD_PACK_DATA ('F2', 'DataItem2');
SSOLITE.SW_CASESTART ('CUSTREQ', ‑1, ‑1, 'Case2', 'user35', '', casenum, reqid);
end;
