hello,

I call a procedure through push button to use UTL_MAIL.send(..) and I got error ora-12703.
There is no error during compilation.

For your info, I manage to execute the same code on stored procedure using TOAD and I received the email sent using TOAD and telnet from my local.

Could anyone please help me on this.

Thanks,
Dayang

Does this help?
Oracle
ORA-12703: this character set conversion is not supported

Cause: The requested conversion between two character sets in the CONVERT function is not implemented

Action: none

I wouldn't know how to solve the problem, sorry.

Does Forms use a character set when connecting to the database? ( Don't know nothing about forms, but I had a somewhat similar problem sending mail once, and there it was a problem with the client character set. )

Maybe the character set from Toad matches the database character set, and the Forms one doesn't.

You could look in this AskTom thread for some hints on how to narrow down the problem.

Thank you David for the response..

I've changed the code to
Quote:
mime_type => 'text/plain; charset=us-ascii',

and
Quote:
mime_type => 'text/plain',

both returned the same error..

Okay, that was just a quick quess. What 'charset' are you using in MS Outlook? Could a difference there be the problem?

I searched this forum for 'utl_mail mime_type', and then this site, and then google. I think you will have to follow up the leads as there are quite a few of them. Try googling 'utl_mail mime_type outlook'.

Searching 'charset' was interesting http://www.orafaq.com/forum/m/416901/67467/?srch=charset#msg_416901

Also, try using 'utf-8'.

Hi David,

I'm sorry if I might ask s stupid question..
how could I know my MS Outlook's charset?
this is my MS Outlook version : Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 (12.0.4518.1014) MSO(12.0.6013.5000).

I tried to manipulate few charset such as utf-8, and iso-8859-1.
Both returned the same error.

However when I changed the charset in my procedure in TOAD, I could execute the procedure and received the emails.

For info, the db is locate at other server and I ran the form from my local machine.

I telnet to my db server as sys and 'ALTER SESSION SET smtp_out_server = 127.0.0.1'(my local machine)..

Regards,
Dayang

What text is the Forms procedure sending? I Toad you send

subject => 'me send tru toad',
MESSAGE => 'me send tru toad.. test',

Could it be that the data that Forms is sending has characters in it the Database Character set can't handle? Can you set the subject and message in the Forms procedure also to some "innocent" text?

I have no knowledge of MS Outlook. For information on a MS product you do need to access a MS forum.

Hi All,

I tried another function that use utl_smtp to send email.
Again I could recieve email when I execute the function in TOAD but got error ora-12703 when I ran using forms.

When I ran the form, only "debug 1st" apear, then after that it returned error ora-12703.

Function:
Quote:
FUNCTION SEND_MAIL
(pIssuer IN VARCHAR2,
pReceiver IN VARCHAR2,
pSender IN VARCHAR2,
pSubject IN VARCHAR2,
pMessage IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS

c utl_smtp.connection;
respuesta utl_smtp.reply;
pServer VARCHAR2(50) := '10.0.3.79';
CRLF CHAR(2) := CHR(13) || CHR(10);

BEGIN

message('debug 1st');
-- Abre la conexión al Server de correo
c := utl_smtp.open_connection(pServer);
message('debug2nd');
respuesta := utl_smtp.helo(c, pServer);

-- Inicia el Issuer del correo.
respuesta := utl_smtp.mail(c, pSender);

-- Inicia el Receiver
respuesta := utl_smtp.rcpt(c, pReceiver);

respuesta := utl_smtp.open_data(c);
-- Escribe la cabecera del e-mail
utl_smtp.write_data(c, 'From: ' || pIssuer || CRLF);
utl_smtp.write_data(c, 'To: ' || pReceiver || CRLF);
-- Escribe el Subject
utl_smtp.write_data(c, 'Subject: ' || pSubject || CRLF);
-- Escribe el texto del Message.
utl_smtp.write_data(c, CRLF || pMessage);
utl_smtp.write_data(c, CRLF || '.');

respuesta := utl_smtp.close_data(c);

-- Cierra la conexión
respuesta := utl_smtp.quit(c);

RETURN '0';

EXCEPTION
WHEN utl_smtp.transient_error OR utl_smtp.permanent_error THEN
utl_smtp.quit(c);
RETURN sqlerrm;
--raise_application_error(-20000,
-- 'El envío del email ha fallado devolviendo el siguiente error: ' || sqlerrm);
END;

ALWAYS place a 'pause' command after the message command. Alternatively DUPLICATE your message command.

Hi all,

Thanks for your responses and help. I do appreciate that.
Im not sure what is wrong with my utl_mail package. I still cannot send email using the package through my oracle forms. Sad
Somehow I've another workaround solution to send the email.
Im using OLE2 in webutil.

Here is the code:
Quote:
DECLARE
objOutlook OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
objMail OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
objArg OLE2.LIST_TYPE;
mail varchar2(2000);
alert_button NUMBER;

BEGIN

mail:='Hello World';

objOutlook := OLE2.CREATE_OBJ('Outlook.Application');
objarg := OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
OLE2.ADD_ARG(objarg,0);
objMail := OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ(objOutlook,'CreateItem',objarg);
OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(objarg);

OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'To','dayangku.masmaryam@lityan.com.my');
OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'Subject','Test Send Email');
OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'Body',mail);

OLE2.INVOKE(objmail,'Send');
OLE2.INVOKE(objmail,'Display');
OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(objmail);
OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(objOutlook);
END;


It works.. Smile

Dayang

Hi all,

Another workaround solution.
I directly triggered the procedure that I created in database using toad from a push_button in my form.

It works.. Smile

But still wondering..Why it didnt work if I created new procedure (same code) in oracle forms.. Sad

Dayang
