I searched through the forum but couldn't find a satisfactory answer on the following.

I have a PL/SQL procedure I want to execute before my report is ran. Basically:

begin
-- Call the procedure
dia.gat_rep_margin;
end;

I tried doing it but I get an SQLOUT problem. Any guidance?

Our standard is to create metadata (.mas/.acx) for the stored proc.

Then do a TABLE FILE against the resultant metadata (e.g., TABLE FILE packname_spname).

Thank you very much for all the suggestions.

@MattC I couldn't get the procedure to run using this method. I kept getting FOC errors.

@David Briars
Your suggestion was genius! First I didn't realize the Data Management Console would do metadata on procedures so that was a neat find!

Process for future reference:

  • Create a PL/SQL procedure, note the procedure must have an output message otherwise you get a verb error for this method
  • Open the DMC Tool and Create/Update synonym
  • On the second screen where it says "restrict object to" change that to Procedure
  • Put in your schema and object name, done
  • Create a new procedure in WebFOCUS choosing the master table created above and drag the output into the report area, done!


Now I can schedule it with report caster and also include it into other WebFOCUS procedures.

Many Thanks!
