Folks,
I have tried every way I can think of to get this to work, without
success. We have a COTS application and I am tyring to execute a stored
procedure, Enter_Result. I can connect fine, etc. I can run the SP fine
from the sqlplus prompt and I am certain that nothing amiss there. My
issue is getting it to run via ado.net. I have read numerous articles
and postings all around the www. Most of the examples I have found
involve cursors in the SP but as you can see, this proc does not use a
cursor. So, how does one use an SP having no cursor via ado.net (2.0,
Visual Basic 2005)?

PROCEDURE Enter_Result(Rslt_Id IN NUMBER, New_Value IN VARCHAR2, Stat
IN OUT NUMBER, Rslt_Origin IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'A', SigFigResult IN OUT
VARCHAR2, Result_Inlimit IN OUT VARCHAR2) AS

BEGIN
Stat := Naip_SQLLIMS_Records.SUCCESS;
Naip_Results.Enter_Result(Rslt_Id, New_Value, Stat, Rslt_Origin,
SigFigResult, Result_Inlimit);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
Stat := Naip_SQLLIMS_Records.FAILURE;
Naip_Pen_Error.Save_Error('ENTER_RESULT', 'SQLCODE');
END Enter_Result;

Here is the code as it exists at the moment. I am getting an "Fill:
SelectCommand.Connection property has not been initialized." error on
the MyDA.Fill(Ds) statement:

Using cnLims
cnLims.ConnectionString = GetLimsConnectString()
cnLims.Open()
Dim command As OracleCommand = New OracleCommand()
command.CommandText = "Results_API.ENTER_RESULT"
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
command.Parameters.Add(New OracleParameter("Rslt_Id",
OracleType.Number)).Value = CLng(RsltID)
command.Parameters.Add(New OracleParameter("New_Value",
OracleType.VarChar)).Value = New_Value
command.Parameters.Add(New OracleParameter("Stat",
OracleType.Number)).Value = -1
command.Parameters.Add(New OracleParameter("Rslt_Origin",
OracleType.VarChar)).Value = "A"
command.Parameters.Add(New OracleParameter("SigFigResult",
OracleType.VarChar)).Value = ""
command.Parameters.Add(New
OracleParameter("Result_Inlimit", OracleType.VarChar)).Value = ""

Dim MyDA As New OracleDataAdapter(command)

Try
MyDA.Fill(Ds)
Catch x
MessageBox.Show(x.Message.ToString)
End Try

End Using

You need to set the parameter directions appropriately, use ExeucteNonQuery
and then investigate the resulting parameter values. This procedure does
not return a resultset, so you shouldn't be using a DataAdapter.

David,
I added the ParameterDirection statements. I used either Input or
InputOutput, according to the SP, and added the ExecuteNonQuery
statement. I am not sure about the applicability of the the
..ReturnValue direction. Now I am getting error ORA-06550,
RESULTS_API.ENTER_RESULT must be declared. I have verified that this is
the correct name. Any suggestions?

Using cnLims
cnLims.ConnectionString = GetLimsConnectString()
cnLims.Open()
Dim command As OracleCommand = cnLims.CreateCommand()
command.CommandText = "Results_API.ENTER_RESULT"
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
command.Parameters.Add(New OracleParameter("Rslt_Id",
OracleType.Number)).Value = CLng(RsltID)
command.Parameters("Rslt_ID").Direction =
ParameterDirection.Input
command.Parameters.Add(New OracleParameter("New_Value",
OracleType.VarChar)).Value = New_Value
command.Parameters("New_Value").Direction =
ParameterDirection.Input
command.Parameters.Add(New OracleParameter("Stat",
OracleType.Number)).Value = -1
command.Parameters("Stat").Direction =
ParameterDirection.InputOutput
command.Parameters.Add(New OracleParameter("Rslt_Origin",
OracleType.VarChar)).Value = "A"
command.Parameters("Rslt_Origin").Direction =
ParameterDirection.Input
command.Parameters.Add(New OracleParameter("SigFigResult",
OracleType.VarChar)).Value = ""
command.Parameters("SigFigResult").Direction =
ParameterDirection.InputOutput
command.Parameters.Add(New
OracleParameter("Result_Inlimit", OracleType.VarChar)).Value = ""
command.Parameters("Result_Inlimit").Direction =
ParameterDirection.InputOutput

command.ExecuteNonQuery()

Well, when in doubt, you can issue the exact same query from SQL Plus. Just
use CommandType.Text instead of CommandType.StoredProcedure and set the
CommandText to
(this is C# which allows multi-line literal strings. in VB you should to use
one long line instead.
command.CommandText = @"
BEGIN
Stat := Naip_SQLLIMS_Records.SUCCESS;
Naip_Results.Enter_Result(:Rslt_Id, :New_Value, :Stat, :Rslt_Origin,
:SigFigResult, :Result_Inlimit);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
Stat := Naip_SQLLIMS_Records.FAILURE;
Naip_Pen_Error.Save_Error('ENTER_RESULT', 'SQLCODE');
END Enter_Result;
";

Note the bind variables. Then bind the parameters as before with the
direction and execute.

If you still have trouble, start with a parameterless block

@"
DECLARE
Rslt_Id number := 1;
New_Value number := 3;
Stat varchar2(50) := 'whatever';
.. . . et cetera
BEGIN
Stat := Naip_SQLLIMS_Records.SUCCESS;
Naip_Results.Enter_Result(Rslt_Id, New_Value, Stat, Rslt_Origin,
SigFigResult, Result_Inlimit);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
Stat := Naip_SQLLIMS_Records.FAILURE;
Naip_Pen_Error.Save_Error('ENTER_RESULT', 'SQLCODE');
END Enter_Result;
";
and bind out the parameters one-by one.
