Describe dialog with error stacks

Toad for Oracle - Beta
1

Hi,

analyzing an PL/SQL error stack is a common task for me. In order to do that I paste the error stack from the log file into the TOAD editor, i. E.:

faktura_job.buildSendungen(‘CoWVsS0’)
begin
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01403: no data found
ORA-06512: at “VS_USER.WITT_PROZESS”, line 27
ORA-06512: at “VS_USER.AUFTRAG_MO_AUFTRAGPOOL”, line 383
ORA-06512: at “VS_USER.AUFTRAG_IF_AUFTRAGPOOL_SET”, line 80
ORA-06512: at “VS_USER.FAKTURA_MO_SENDUNG”, line 475
ORA-06512: at “VS_USER.FAKTURA_MO_SENDUNG”, line 548
ORA-06512: at “VS_USER.FAKTURA_JOB”, line 505
ORA-06512: at line 2

To find out what code the failing lines contain I use the “Describe (F4)”-Dialog. Everytime I like to jump to a error line I have to delete the double quotes from the respective line in the callstack.

It would be nice if the describe dialog could jump to the line with the double quotes in place.

Regards,
Wolfgang

The problem is in the way that the quotes are used in the error. It’s not correct to say “VS_USER.WITT_PROZESS”, as this implies that the whole text is the name of some object, with a period right in the middle of the object name. But it’s really the schema name and then the procedure/package name. Oracle should be giving it as “VS_USER”.“WITT_PROZESS”. If the quotes were in the correct places, Toad would understand it. I wouldn’t call this a bug in Toad, but it will work in the next beta.
