Building Text variables - leading 0

Hi
I am having a problem with building text variables. 
I start with a variable containing null, and do something like  Hint = Hint + "black and white animal" and the result is that Hint now contains 0black and white animal
Is there any way around this?
It is not an urgent problem - I just use more variables than I really need!
Thank you!
Elizabeth

Hi Lilybiri
Oh!  What a shame!  It works well apart from that leading 0!  Thanks.  I'll
stop trying.
Thank you again for your help

  • Build Text Express VI doesn't work without a variable

    I like the build text express VI because it lets me hide a lot of the clutter of building text strings on the code page itself, inside the express VI.
    Two questions:
    1) Why does the build text express VI require a single variable before 'Result' will contain text typed into the 'Text with Variables in Percents' field. If no variable is listed the result is always null.
    2) Is using many copies of this express VI a waste of memory or is it decent sized or possibly doesn't matter at all... I have just started using it so have no idea how well it works as far as adding bulk to the program.

    The express vi is a vi. Yes it will take more memory to use the build text vi that using the format into string function. The express vi if you right click on it and open front panel you will see what code is involved. A good example is to go and look at the vi metrics with a build text express vi and you will see that there are 42 different nodes in one express vi. If you put a format into string function you will see using vi metrics only 1 node. Another drawback is that the build text will only allow you to have 8 input variables. It is a easy tool to use but can be bulky if used improperly. Hope this helps.

  • Build text vi - Labview 7

    i want to use the Build Text express vi in Labview 7, but it wont provide all of the necessary inputs for the variables and says that there is subVI errors that I cant resolve. the vi is attached if someone could have a look. im also having trouble finding documentation for using the Build Text.vi.
    regards,

    It appears even if you create more variables it will not let you connect to them or expand the express vi. I haven't seen this before. All examples that I have seen have not used as many variables as you are using. Maybe a NI person will chime in on this situation. Until that happens try using the format into string function under the string subpalette. I know this will not allow you to create a header as easily as the express vi but for your file but you can be creative and use some of the constants and string constants for a header. That is how is has been done until this new express vi has been created. Keep in mind you can also use concatenate strings and use multiple format into string functions.

  • Text Variable With Replacement Path : supported in Webi 4.0 or Not.??

    Hello to All WebI Gurus,
    We are on BO 4.0
    We are building WebI report on top of Bex query using the BICS connection from IDT.
    Our BW query is having some Text Variable with processing type "Replacement Path".
    Also its having fiscal year period in filter with user input variable.
    the text variables references Fiscal year period and are used in Key figure description,
    hence whatever value the input variable will capture the description of Key figure changes accordingly/dynamically.
    But when I try to use it in BO it throws me an error msg saying :
    Unknown error occured in SL Services
    I am Aware that text variable in this fashion were not supported in BO XI3.1
    Used of Sap text variable with replacement path in Bo designer
    So are Text variable Supported in BO 4.0 in this fashion.
    Any response will be highly appreciable.
    Thanks & Regards
    Neeraj

    Hi,
    Here's a great SDN article, which includes several slides covering u201CWhich BEx features are supported using BICS connectivityu201D : http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/d056e1bc-2794-2e10-959e-8779c5623cc5
    Pages 8 -> 12 cover these topics.
    If your design choices are compliant (supported) then i'd avise opening a support case if this issue persist after checking again on Patch2.11 (release recently)

  • Text Variable Help? Beginning section page number required

    Hi guys,
    My name is Arjun and I am working on a book in Indesign. I've created quite a few sections and want to create a header on top that displays,
    for example
    "Summary FirstX to LastX" (in bold are the variables)
    First X being that Sections first page number
    Last X being that Sections last page number
    There is a default preset that came with Indesign CS4 that allows you to create a Text variable for the last page number of that section. What about the beginning? I don't wan to turn that to static text as i have a lot of page shuffling to do and the more the automated the better.
    Thanks,
    Arjun

    I hadn't noticed that there isn't a First Page Number text variable building block. How odd.
    I would try setting up a "cross-reference" to the first paragraph in your section. (This is not part of the text variable dialog. Use the cross-reference window under Type & Tables in the Windows menu). I assume these will work on master pages, though I haven't tried it. It does seem odd that you'd need to use completely different tools for each page number!
    Be aware that there's now a hidden marker at the beginning of that paragraph, which the cross reference uses to know what page number to insert. So if you accidentally remove it (for instance, if you delete and retype the whole paragraph), you'll have to set up the cross reference again. And you'll have to explicitly create that cross reference in each section of your book, while the text variables are pretty automatic. So there could easily be a better solution that I haven't thought of.
    Good luck, and tell us what finally works...

  • Text Variable Refresh with Drilldown

    Hello Experts,

  • SSM 7.0 - Text variable error - Could not acces to Reports

    Hi SSM experts,
    We are implementing SSM 7.0 SP6 HF1.
    After the implementation of a text variable in PAS in order to include it in a report we have lost the access to the reports and the entry and approval settings.
    These are the main steps we followed:
    1.- Data model created via Cube Builder
    2.- Data loaded via Entry and Approval.
    3.- With that model the Scorecard and a set of reports were working as expected.
    4.- After that we created a text measure directly in PAS via the following command: CREATE yearly TEXT NONKPI50_ACT 'KPI text'.
    4.- Due to this creation we have lost the access to the reports in SSM UI and to the Entry and Approval settings in SSM Admin.
    Could anyone please advice us in order to solve the problem?
    We have realized that if we delete in PAS the text variable created everything returns to the original situation and everything works ok.
    Did we create the text variable ok? Is it possible to create text variables in a model created via Cube
    Builder and loaded via Entry and Approval?
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Kind regards,
    Santiago

    Robert, Ricardo,
    this text variable is just a variable to be used in a navigator report, not to be used in SC. Sorry if I was not clear.
    Robert, I will deal this probelm with the customer message team but if anybody has came up with this problem in any project please let me know how to solve it.
    Anyway I will check how CONSTANT TEXT works. I will appreciate if you would let me know the result of your checkings.
    Thank you very much for your help.

  • Text variables in query not taken over into univers

    Dear all,
    We are working with text variables in our SAP BI queries ( &ZVAR001& ) for example, which are translated to 01.2008 02.2008 etc at query execution time.
    When we build the BO Univers on top of such query, the text variables are not dynamically filled, but BO takes the variable name as value...
    We are using BI 7 & XI 3.1
    Did anyone had similar experience and/or solutions ? This is quite an annoying lack.
    Thanks in advance,
    Stefaan.

    Hello Ingo
    The most commonly used structure I have come across, is a structure where you have YTD, MTD last year etc. values.
    As far as I can judge such structures or calculations are not very easily done in Webi (But I may be wrong here), hence the customer will want to use the structure. But it is quite tiresome to have to redo all headers of the structure.
    But assuming I do the headers in Webi, I will need to obtain the value of the prompt answers. But so far I have not been able to get the value of a prompt answer using UserResponse() (when the prompt is auto-generated based on a BW variable). See also this thread:
    Using UserResponse on BW originating prompts
    Can you help out here?

  • Error in creating Text Variable

    Hi  Gurus,
    I have one requirement to create a text variable for the user & the user wants to put the description as input to the variable.
    But when i am creating the variable,the variable type "characteristic Value"  is by default selected and i am also unable to change the variable type to text variable.
    Please any body have the solution to resolve the error.
    Regards
    Debasish

    Hi,
    Just select a particular key figure and on the right side you will see its properties..
    Now just besides the description of the key figure you will find a symbol for create variables, just click on that.. It will create a text variable...

  • 0FISCPER text variable "External Characteristic Value Key" has changed

    Hello!
    Could somebody help and tell, why in BI7.0 version (but 3.x RRMX version) the format of the 0FISCPER text variable (also other time characteristics) has changed from 001.2007 (version 3.x) to 0/1  .0700 (version 7.0)?
    I cannot understand the logic of the new Exterternal characteristic calue key. What can I do about it?
    Thanks for your help, gurus!
    BR, Auli Peltola

    I figured out myself the reason for the problem: in the new version the fiscal year variant has to be defined in report so that the 0FISCPER would work.

  • How to create Text Variables in BEx Query Designer

    How  can i create Text Variables in Bex Q.D.
    I am able to create characteristic variables
    but i can't find option to create text variables.
    What's the requirement to create Text variables in Bex Q.D.
    When i try to create Text variable for 0calDay.. the variable type is characteristic by Default and disabled.
    How can i create text variables related to 0CalDay with which i need to work in Customer Exit.

    Hi,
    You have to create characteristic variable processing by Customer Exit by considering 0CalDay as a Reference Characteristic
    After creation of the above variable, you restrict your KF with the above created variable.
    Now you can create a Text variable for the description of your KF. This way it works...........

  • Why do text variables using Running Header character style translate forced returns as a word space in the running head on the first page but close up the space on subsequent pages?

    In an InDesign document that requires 3 different Chapter head paragraph styles (to cope with differrent length headings) I've set up the running heads on the master page with a text variable using the Running header (character style) option. The character style I've assigned to this is an empty character style that is applied to all 3 chapter head paragraph styles.
    Some chapter heads require a forced line break, so that the line breaks are aethesically pleasing. On the first page the text variable translates this forced line break as a word space in the running head, but on subsequent pages it ignores the forced line break. This means that if you have a word space before the forced line break, on the first page you get a double word space and on subsequent pages the running head sets correctly with a single word space. But if you remove the word space before the forced line break in the chapter head text, the first running head sets correctly with forced line break interpreted as a single word space, but on subsequest pages the space is closed up.
    This only seems to be a problem when the character style option is used for header text variables. If a paragraph style is used the forrced line break is interpreted as a a single word space in all instances, both on the foirst page and subsequent pages.
    This would appear to be a bug in how text variables are applied when using the Running header (character style) option. I can't see any other reason why the text variable would beheave differently on the first page and on subsequent pages. There is only one master page, so it isn't a case of their being an error between a main master page and a chapter opener master page.
    Does anyone have any solutionss, or know if this problem has been fixed in subsequent releases of InDesign (I'm using CS6 ID version 8.0)
    Thanks

    Ask in the ID forum...

  • Text Variable Not Refreshed

    Hello,
    I created a data text variable user exit.
    everyting works fine, but,
    1) Selection options:
    Year: 2010
    Month: 1 to 11
    The query and text variable return right values
    Year 2010
    Month: Jan to Nov
    but, if i want to make new selection
    2) Year : 2011
    month : 1 to 11
    the query results are fine, but, the variable text return its old : return:
    year: 2010
    month: Jan to nov
    3) when I do it again
    year: 2011
    month: 1 to 11
    The query and text variable return right values
    Year 2011
    Month: Jan to Nov
    Why this happen? why they string doesnt work it 1rst..?
    Thx
    Reg

    I assume , variable 'ZP_CALY2' , which you are reading is created on calyear/ month which stores data as '2011.001' for e.g.
    and you are extracting year from the same and writing the same in a variable for calyear .
    In that case correct the code as
    WHEN 'ZP_AN2'.
    LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range WHERE vnam = 'ZP_CALY2'.
    zt_dt1 = loc_var_range-low +0(4).
    l_s_range-low = zt_dt1.
    l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
    l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
    APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
    ENDLOOP.
    Otherwise you can try this option ,
    You are entering year in the selection screen , so create a text variable with replacement path and give the replacement characteristic as fiscalyear info-object used in the report .also restrict fiscal year variable in the keyfigure . use this variable along with the keyfigure .
    It will give you the correct year .
