Question

Type Mismatch

Asked by: pborregg

Please help me find where my type mismatch is....

See code below...

The conn information has been intentionally removed for security reasons.

The error is happening at the SQL statement.*

the * is NOT an error but a locator to tell you where the type mismatch is....

I've done the Response.Writes and found that the strEmails() is passing the value I need. It's the VERY NEXT LINE:  sql(i).... that the Type Mismatch occurs.

Thanks.

Peter

Try this


sql(i) = "UPDATE hr_dist_list SET email_dist_list = '" & strEmails(i) & "' WHERE transact_code = "1""
(Assuming that transcode is of Type Int (Number))

The transact code is type of INT but I still get this message.

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'

Type mismatch

/empportal/AdminEmailConfigUpdContEdit.asp, line 33


the SQL statement is line 33

What exactly are you doing this this code?
You are doing a [Next] which is why I ask?

Can please explain a little about it please?

by: pborreggPosted on 2009-07-29 at 18:55:52ID: 24976154

The code loops through the Number of Roles which right now is 6.  But I did a ReDIM because I wanted to handle the Array Bound dynamically if the roles in the database table ever increase. I didn't want to have to 'Hard-code' a "6".  The for next loop needs to be there.  In the previous page, I grab the MAXVAL of the roles table and pass it to this page and use it as noOfRoles variable.

Does that make sense?

Peter

 

by: NorushPosted on 2009-07-30 at 06:02:36ID: 24979256

Could it be that the variable stremails containts a 'numeric' value ?

Try with:
sql(i)      =      "UPDATE hr_dist_list SET email_dist_list = '" & Cstr(strEmails(i)) & "' WHERE transact_code = 1"

 

by: pborreggPosted on 2009-07-30 at 06:27:12ID: 24979537

Still get type mismatch error. Good thought though since emails could contain numbers... This is simple and it's got me dumbfounded.

Any thoughts?

 

by: pborreggPosted on 2009-07-30 at 06:31:30ID: 24979575

Here's the entire code page minus the conn information for security reasons... maybe this'll help.

I see a field called [date_update] now. Whats its datatype in SQL-Server ?

 

by: pborreggPosted on 2009-07-30 at 06:48:02ID: 24979745

it should be date_updated... but it's data-type in SQL Server is datetime...

 

by: pborreggPosted on 2009-07-30 at 06:49:45ID: 24979768

I broke the code down to the bare essentials and get this error:

ss <-- this is s a Response Write and the loop made it through one round... and blew up.... see below.

I stripped down further and commented out the SQL to prove that the strEmails(i) works and sure enough, the response.write listed 6 values.... perfectly.

It's something in the SQL but what?

 

by: pborreggPosted on 2009-07-30 at 07:01:42ID: 24979898

Let me clarify... I didn't strip down.... YECH.... but stripped the "CODE" down further.... LOL

 

by: NorushPosted on 2009-07-30 at 07:03:05ID: 24979908

So youre convinced that the error is not getting in the following line any more?
*sql(i)      =      "UPDATE hr_dist_list SET email_dist_list = '" & strEmails(i) & "' WHERE transact_code = 1

But instead 1 one of the following?
      sql(i)      =      "UPDATE hr_dist_list SET  user_updated = '" & Session("USERNAME") & "'"
 
      sql(i)       = sql(i) & " WHERE transact_code = 1 AND role_id = '" & noOfRoles & "'"

 

by: pborreggPosted on 2009-07-30 at 07:13:48ID: 24980011

Well, it's this line.... only. It never makes it to the WHERE clause.

  sql(i)      =      "UPDATE hr_dist_list SET  user_updated = '" & Session("USERNAME") & "'"

I've never seen anything like this... it's driving me insane....not really but you get the point.

Furthermore, what you see above works in other code I've written for this same application.

 

by: pborreggPosted on 2009-07-30 at 07:44:21ID: 24980331

This produces a type mismatch... it's CRAZY!!!!!!!!!

For i = 1 to noOfRoles

      strEmails(i) = objUpload.Fields("email_dist_list" & i).value

      'Response.Write(strEmails(i) & "<br />")

      sql(i)      =      "UPDATE hr_dist_list SET email_dist_list = 'A@sdf.com', date_updated = '01/01/2009', user_updated = 'bsmith'"

      sql(i)       =       sql(i) & " WHERE transact_code = 1 AND role_id = '" & noOfRoles & "'"

      Response.Write(sql(i))
      'conn.Execute sql(i)
      
Next

 

by: pborreggPosted on 2009-07-30 at 08:01:41ID: 24980500

This works in a standard ISQL session.... PERFECTLY....

UPDATE hr_dist_list SET email_dist_list = 'sdflj@sdlfkjs.com', date_updated = '08/01/2009', user_updated = 'bsmith' WHERE transact_code = '1' and role_id = '1';

 

by: pborreggPosted on 2009-07-30 at 08:55:15ID: 24981099

Figured it out....

LOOK AT THE DECLARATION OF sql.... I never defined it as an array in the above code.... D'Oh....

Peter
