Anylogic: UPDATE table and get value of parameter - anylogic

I try to run with for-loops through different parameter names and try to store their value in a table with UPDATE. The "+AktuellerParameterWert+" statement in the UPDATE statement just shows the name of the parameter, not the value of the parameter as intended. The parameters are declared on the graphical interface of Anylogic, have names like "Parameter12" and contain int values. I guess the UPDATE statement can't make a connection to the parameter on the graphical interface. Any help regarding those two problems would be greatly appreciated :)
Error: root:
Error occurred when executing SQL query in modify() method
Caused by: user lacks privilege or object not found: PARAMETER11 in statement [UPDATE konfigurations_matrix SET station1=Parameter11 WHERE produktionsschritte = 'A']
int AnzahlAvgs=4;
int AnzahlStationen=2;
int AvgCount;
int StationenCount;
String ParameterName = "Parameter";
String AktuellerParameterWert;
String Station = "station";
String AktuelleStation;
String Produktionsschritt;
for (StationenCount=1; StationenCount<=AnzahlStationen; StationenCount++) {
for (AvgCount=1; AvgCount<=AnzahlAvgs; AvgCount++) {
AktuellerParameterWert = ParameterName + StationenCount + AvgCount;
System.out.println(AktuellerParameterWert);
AktuelleStation = Station + StationenCount;
Produktionsschritt = String.valueOf((char)(StationenCount + 64));
executeStatement("UPDATE konfigurations_matrix SET '"+AktuelleStation+"'="+AktuellerParameterWert+" WHERE produktionsschritte = '"+Produktionsschritt+"'");
}
}

You are not referencing the parameter properly from where you call the SQL code.
You need to refer to your parameter in its proper location, relative to from where you are calling the SQL statement. This is basic OOP and very important to understand. Search the AnyLogic help for "where am I and how do I get to" to learn more.

Can't Access Destructuring Assignment from Complex Object

Given the input value:
input =
name:'Foo'
id:'d4cbd9ed-fabc-11e6-83e6-307bd8cc75e3'
ref:5
addtData:'d4cbd9ed-fabc-11e6-83e6-307bd8cc75e3'
data:'bar'
When I try to destructure the input via a function like this:
simplify: (input)->
{ name, ref, id } = input
...the return value is still the full input or a copy of the input.
Am I missing something simple here? How can I access the destructured value. If you can't access the value via a return, it seems that destructuring has little value outside of locally scoped values.
While this isn't necessarily an advantage, the only way I was able to transpile and get the correct answer was to assign the destructure values to the local scope using # (aka this).
input =
name:'foo'
data:'bar'
id: 12314
key:'children'
ref:1
f = (input)->
{ #name, #id } = input
r = {}
f.call(r, input)
console.log r # Object {name: "foo", id: 12314}

If someone has a better way to approach this, please add an answer so I can select it as this doesn't seem like the best way.

Trouble understanding private attributes in classes and the class property method in Python 3

This class example was taken from here.
class Celsius:
def __init__(self, temperature = 0):
self.temperature = temperature
def to_fahrenheit(self):
return (self.temperature * 1.8) + 32
def get_temperature(self):
print("Getting value")
return self._temperature
def set_temperature(self, value):
if value < -273:
raise ValueError("Temperature below -273 is not possible")
print("Setting value")
self._temperature = value
temperature = property(get_temperature, set_temperature)
The idea here is that when we create an instance of Celsius and set the temperature attribute (e.g. foo = Celsus (-1000) ), we want to make sure that the attribute is not less than -273 BEFORE setting the temperature attribute.
I don't understand how it seems to bypass self.temperature = temperature and go straight to the last line. It seems to me like there are three attributes/properties created here: the Class attribute, temperature; the Instance attribute, temperature; and the set_temperature function which sets the attribute _temperature.
What I DO understand is that the last line (the assignment statement) must run the code property(get_temperature, set_temperature) which runs the functions get_temperature and set_temperature and intern sets the private attribute/property _temperature.
Moreover, if I run: foo = Celsius(100) and then foo.temperature, how is the result of foo.temperature coming from temperature = property(get_temperature, set_temperature) and thus _temperature AND NOT self.temperature = temperature? Why even have self.temperature = temperature if temperature = property(get_temperature, set_temperature) gets ran every time the foo.temperature call is made?
More questions...
Why do we have two attributes with the same name (e.g. temperature) and how does the code know to retrieve the value of _temperature when foo.temperature is called?
Why do we need private attributes/properties an not just temperature?
How does set_temperature(self, value) obtain the attribute for parameter value (e.g. the argument that replaces value)?
In short, please explain this to me like a three year old since I have only been programming a few months. Thank you in advance!
When we are first taught about classes/objects/attributes we are often told something like this:
When you look up an attribute like x.foo it first looks to see if
'foo' is an instance variable and returns it, if not it checks if
'foo' is defined in the class of x and returns that, otherwise an
AttributeError is raised.
This describes what happens most of the time but does not leave room for descriptors. So if you currently think the above is all there is about attribute lookup property and other descriptors will seem like an exception to these rules.
A descriptor basically defines what to do when looking up / setting an attribute of some instance, property is an implementation that lets you define your own functions to call when getting / setting / deleting an attribute.
When you do temperature = property(get_temperature, set_temperature) you are specifying that when x.temperature is retrieved it should call x.get_temperature() and the return value of that call will be what x.temperature evaluates to.
by specifying set_temperature as the setter of the property it states that when ever x.temperature is assigned to something it should call set_temperature with the value assigned as an argument.
I'd recommend you try stepping through your code in pythontutor, it will show you exactly when get_temerature and set_temperature are called after which statements.

Groovy sql.rows returns org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: No hstore extension installed

I am using Groovy Sql in Grails with named parameters to get results from a Postgres DB. My statement is generated dynamically, i.e. concatenated to become the final statement, with the params being added to a map as I go along.
sqlWhere += " AND bar = :namedParam1"
paramsMap.namedParam1 = "blah"
For readability, I am using the groovy string syntax which allows me to write my sql statement over multiple lines, like this:
sql = """
SELECT *
FROM foo
WHERE 1=1
${sqlWhere}
"""
The expression is evaluated as a string containing the linebreaks as \n:
SELECT *\n ...
This is not a problem when I pass params like this
results = sql.rows(sqlString, paramsMap)
but it does become one if paramsMap is empty (which happens since AND bar = :namedParam1 is not always concatenated into the query). I then get an error
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: No hstore extension installed
which does not really seem to relate to the true nature of the problem. I have for now fixed this with an if...else
if (sqlQuery.params.size() > 0) {
results = sql.rows(sqlString, paramsMap)
} else {
results = sql.rows(sqlString.replace('\n',' '))
}
But this seems a bit weird (especially since it does not work if I use the replace in the if-branch as well).
My question is: why do I really get this error message and is there a better way to prevent it from occuring?
It's certainly a bug in groovy.sql.SQL implementation. The method rows() can't deal with an empty map passed as params. As a workaround, you can test for it and pass an empty list instead.
def paramsMap = [:]
...
if (paramsMap.isEmpty())
paramsMap= []

How to pass parameters to a Progress program using database field dynamic-based rules?

I have in my database a set of records that concentrates information about my .W's, e.g. window name, parent directory, file name, procedure type (for internal treatments purposes), used to build my main menu. With this data I'm developing a new start procedure for the ERP that I maintain and using the opportunity in order to rewrite some really outdated functions and programs and implement new functionalities. Until now, I hadn't any problems but when I started to develop the .P procedure which will check the database register of a program that was called from the menu of this new start procedure - to check if it needs to receive fixed parameters to be run and its data types - I found a problem that I can't figure out a solution.
In this table, I have stored in one of the fields the parameters needed by the program, each with his correspondent data type. The problem is on how to pass different data types to procedures based only on the stored data. I tried to pre-convert data using a CASE clause and an include to check the parameter field for correct parameter sending but the include doesn't work as I've expected.
My database field is stored as this:
Description | DATATYPE | Content
I've declared some variables and converted properly the stored data into their correct datatype vars.
DEF VAR c-param-exec AS CHAR NO-UNDO EXTENT 9 INIT ?.
DEF VAR i-param-exec AS INT NO-UNDO EXTENT 9 INIT ?.
DEF VAR de-param-exec AS DEC NO-UNDO EXTENT 9 INIT ?.
DEF VAR da-param-exec AS DATE NO-UNDO EXTENT 9 INIT ?.
DEF VAR l-param-exec AS LOG NO-UNDO EXTENT 9 INIT ?.
DEF VAR i-count AS INT NO-UNDO.
blk-count:
DO i-count = 0 TO 8:
IF TRIM(programa.parametro[i-count]) = '' THEN
LEAVE blk-count.
i-count = i-count + 1.
CASE ENTRY(2,programa.parametro[i-count],CHR(1)):
WHEN 'CHARACTER' THEN
c-param-exec[i-count] = ENTRY(3,programa.parametro[i-count],CHR(1)).
WHEN 'INTEGER' THEN
i-param-exec[i-count] = INT(ENTRY(3,programa.parametro[i-count],CHR(1))).
WHEN 'DECIMAL' THEN
de-param-exec[i-count] = DEC(ENTRY(3,programa.parametro[i-count],CHR(1))).
WHEN 'DATE' THEN
da-param-exec[i-count] = DATE(ENTRY(3,programa.parametro[i-count],CHR(1))).
WHEN 'LOGICAL' THEN
l-param-exec[i-count] = (ENTRY(3,programa.parametro[i-count],CHR(1)) = 'yes').
OTHERWISE
c-param-exec[i-count] = ENTRY(3,programa.parametro[i-count],CHR(1)).
END CASE.
END.
Then I tried to run the program using an include to pass parameters (in this example, the program have 3 INPUT parameters).
RUN VALUE(c-prog-exec) ({util\abrePrograma.i 1},
{util\abrePrograma.i 2},
{util\abrePrograma.i 3}).
Here is my abrePrograma.i
/* abrePrograma.i */
(IF ENTRY(2,programa.parametro[{1}],CHR(1)) = 'CHARACTER' THEN c-param-exec[{1}] ELSE
IF ENTRY(2,programa.parametro[{1}],CHR(1)) = 'INTEGER' THEN i-param-exec[{1}] ELSE
IF ENTRY(2,programa.parametro[{1}],CHR(1)) = 'DECIMAL' THEN de-param-exec[{1}] ELSE
IF ENTRY(2,programa.parametro[{1}],CHR(1)) = 'DATE' THEN da-param-exec[{1}] ELSE
IF ENTRY(2,programa.parametro[{1}],CHR(1)) = 'LOGICAL' THEN l-param-exec[{1}] ELSE
c-param-exec[{1}])
If I suppress the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th IF's from the include or use only one data type in all IF's (e.g. only CHAR, only DATE, etc.) the program works properly and executes like a charm but I need to call some old programs, which expects different datatypes in its INPUT parameters and using the programs as described OpenEdge doesn't compile the caller, triggering the error number 223.

Thanks in advance.
Looks as if you're trying to use variable parameter definitions.
Have a look at the "create call" statement in the ABL reference.
http://documentation.progress.com/output/ua/OpenEdge_latest/index.html#page/dvref/call-object-handle.html#wwconnect_header
Sample from the documentation
DEFINE VARIABLE hCall AS HANDLE NO-UNDO.
CREATE CALL hCall.
/* Invoke hello.p non-persistently */
hCall:CALL-NAME = "hello.p".
/* Sets CALL-TYPE to the default */
hCall:CALL-TYPE = PROCEDURE-CALL-TYPE
hCall:NUM-PARAMETERS = 1.
hCall:SET-PARAMETER(1, "CHARACTER", "INPUT", "HELLO WORLD").
hCall:INVOKE.
/* Clean up */
DELETE OBJECT hCall.
The best way to get to the bottom of those kind of preprocessor related issues is to do a compile with preprocess listing followed by a syntax check on the preprocessed file. Once you know where the error is in the resulting preprocessed file you have to find out which include / define caused the code that won't compile .
In procedure editor
compile source.w preprocess source.pp.
Open source.pp in the procedure editor and do syntax check
look at original source to find include or preprocessor construct that resulted in the code that does not compile.
Okay, I am getting a little bit lost (often happens to me with lots of preprocessors) but am I missing that on the way in and out of the database fields you are storing values as characters, right? So when storing a parameter in the database you have to convert it to Char and on the way out of the database you have convert it back to its correct data-type. To not do it one way or the other would cause a type mismatch.
Also, just thinking out loud (without thinking it all the way through) wonder if using OOABL (Object Oriented ABL) depending on if you Release has it available wouldn't make it easier by defining signatures for the different datatypes and then depending on which type of input or output parameter you call it with, it will use the correct signature and correct conversion method.
Something like:
METHOD PUBLIC VOID storeParam(input cParam as char ):
dbfield = cParam.
RETURN.
END METHOD.
METHOD PUBLIC VOID storeParam(input iParam as int ):
dbfield = string(iParam).
RETURN.
END METHOD.
METHOD PUBLIC VOID storeParam(input dParam as date ):
dbfield = string(dParam).
RETURN.
END METHOD.
just a thought.

EF4.1 Code First: Stored Procedure with output parameter

I use Entity Framework 4.1 Code First. I want to call a stored procedure that has an output parameter and retrieve the value of that output parameter in addition to the strongly typed result set. Its a search function with a signature like this
public IEnumerable<MyType> Search(int maxRows, out int totalRows, string searchTerm) { ... }
I found lots of hints to "Function Imports" but that is not compatible with Code First.
I can call stored procedures using Database.SqlQuery(...) but that does not work with output parameters.
Can I solve that problem using EF4.1 Code First at all?
SqlQuery works with output parameters but you must correctly define SQL query and setup SqlParameters. Try something like:
var outParam = new SqlParameter();
outParam.ParameterName = "TotalRows";
outParam.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Int;
outParam.ParameterDirection = ParameterDirection.Output;
var data = dbContext.Database.SqlQuery<MyType>("sp_search #SearchTerm, #MaxRows, #TotalRows OUT",
new SqlParameter("SearchTerm", searchTerm),
new SqlParameter("MaxRows", maxRows),
outParam);
var result = data.ToList();
totalRows = (int)outParam.Value;
