Change of variable text in BEx selection screen

Hi all,
in our BW system the key users are allowed to create queries and also create variables. In some cases, especially for often used info objects like 0DATE the number of variables is increasing very quickly. The reason for this is, that 0DATE is used for a big variety of meanings e.g. delivery date, order date, invoice date etc.
So the users always create new variables only to have a meaningful description in the BEx selection screen, because they do not want only "date" to be displayed here. As result we have many different varianbles with exactly the same technical settings with only different names.
So my question is: Is it possible to change the diplayed text in the selection screen for each query without having to create a new variable?
Thanek you and best regards

Hi Stephan,
Changing the diplayed text in the selection screen for each query is not possible.You have to create a new variable for each query.

'Text' of a variable in Bex selection screen

Hello,
We have a customer exit variable in Bex Query selection.it is mandatory,ready for input,interval which is on 0CALMONTH2.
In Bex selection screen i am not getting text of default/entered months.
for example: if default value is 2 to 4,then text would be FEB to APR.
what could be the reason?how to get teaxts of entered values?
(we have one more customer exit variable on 0CALMONTH2 which is single value and it shows text of enterd values in bex selection)
In web it is working fine.

Hi,
Try to create an another customer exit variable for 0CALMONTH2 with mandatory,ready for input,interval. refer the abap code of the another customer exit variable(single value variable) of 0CALMONTH2 which you have mentioned in the bracket and modify the abap code based on the selection - interval. hope it helps.

BEx Selection screen Hierarchy display (text - key)

Hi,
We have a new query deployed that uses several hierarchies in the selection screen.
When running the reports, the drop down for the hierarchies on the variable selection screen displays the full text.
However, the users are more familiar with the key value and would prefer to see that. In the actual report, the keys are displayed.
I am trying to find where the default display can be set for the hierarchies on the BEx selection screen so I can show the key values?
Thanks!
Darryl

Create a FM like below and a wrapper for it so you can call it as part of process chain; we load all of our hierarchies then call this:
FUNCTION ZBW_CHANGE_HIER_DISPLAYNAME.
""Local Interface:
*" EXPORTING
*"     VALUE(RETURN) TYPE BAPIRET2
data: hieid(25) type c,
        hienm(30) type c,
        lgtxt(60) type c.
RETURN-TYPE = 'I'.
RETURN-ID = '01'.
Select each hierarchy from list table
select nhieid nhienm t~txtmd
into (hieid, hienm, lgtxt)
from rshiedir as n
join rshiedirt as t
on nhieid = thieid
where n~objvers = 'A'
and   t~objvers = 'A'.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
    concatenate Key and Text
      concatenate hienm '-' lgtxt into lgtxt SEPARATED BY space.
    update table with new description
      update rshiedirt
      set TXTLG = lgtxt
      where langu = 'E'
      and hieid   = hieid
      and objvers = 'A'.
      if sy-subrc = 0.
        RETURN-NUMBER = '001'.
        RETURN-MESSAGE = 'Successfully updated Hierarchy Descriptions.'.
      else.
        RETURN-NUMBER = '002'.
        RETURN-MESSAGE = 'Error when updating Hierarchy Descriptions.'.
      endif.
    else.
      RETURN-NUMBER = '003'.
      RETURN-MESSAGE = 'Error when selecting Hierarchy Descriptions.'.
    endif.
endselect.

BEX Selection screen in an endless loop when pressing the Check button

Hello SDN
Has anyone faced this issue before where the BEX selection screen seems to get its knickers in a twist and goes into an endless loopp when the Check button is clicked? It goes through fine if I directly hit execute.
Anyone ? Any ideas ?

Never seen it before but here is something to check..
Does the query have a variable with processing type of customer exit. If yes, look at the user exit code in step 3 which is used for input value validation.

Diplay Text in Text Box in selection Screen

Hi Experts i want to display text in text box in selection screen like
Personnal Number
Display in text box and disable................please help me
Edited by: BFawad26 on Jun 21, 2010 9:46 AM

Hi,
You mean to say parameter in selection screen
Just press F1 on parameter you will get all the option available for the parameter
for defaulting text just give your text in DEFAULT option for the parametr
And for disabling this checkbox you can explore the LOOP AT SCREEN concept
In at selection screen output event you can modify the selection screen.just give one modif id for your
paramete and use this at selection screen output event , loop at screen and modify screen with the screen input = 0
for ur parameter.
Thanx

Parallel text box in selection screen

hi,
Use COMMENT and POSITION statements in selcection-screen to achieve the same.

Text length at selection screen

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B1 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-000.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT /3(79) TEXT-001.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT /3(79) TEXT-002.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK B1.
in above code I can write text upto 79 length only how can I increase the length when I am increasing it from 79 to 89 it is saying that max legth is 79

COMMENT /3(79) TEXT-001. when you give 3(79) it sets the position.Just try giving COMMENT TEXT-001 and check what is happening
Go to text-001 double click on that and then delete the text you had given then you should activate it and get back to the code then again double click on text and give your text.

How to color the text element in selection screen

hi,
i am going to pass some text element in selection screen output and my requiremnt is text element should be given some colour.
plz guide me.
regards
muthuraman.d

Hi...
Dont Declare your field as OBLIGATORY.
Instead perform the validation in AT SELECTION-SCREEN event. But validation should be only when Particular Radiobutton is selected.
And Generate only Error Message (Type E).
Try this code:
AT SELECTION-SCREEN on <yOUR mandatory field>.
   IF PA_UPD = 'X'.
         IF <YOUR MANDATORY FIELD> IS INITIAL.
              Message 'Entry is must in this field' type 'E'.
         ENDIF.
   ENDIF.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
IF pa_udp = 'X'.
LOOP AT SCREEN.
IF screen-group1 = 'ABC'. "#CCE
screen-active = 1.
ELSEIF screen-group1 = 'DEF'.
screen-input = 0.
ENDIF.
MODIFY SCREEN.
ENDLOOP.
ELSEIF pa_rep = 'X'.
LOOP AT SCREEN.
IF screen-group1 = 'ABC'. "#CCE
screen-input = 0.
ELSEIF screen-group1 = 'DEF'.
screen-active = 1.
ENDIF.
MODIFY SCREEN.
ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.

Display F4 values as TEXT ONLY on selection screen of Bex report

Hi,
I have InfoObject with text(short) loaded for it. In Bex report on selection screen, I need to display ONLY TEXT values when you do F4 for values. How this can be achieved? I get key & text both now.
Please note that I have tried all below settings -
1. Set Text in InfoObject maintenance screen.
This setting is over-ridden if you have multiprovider specific settings defined.
2. Set Text in Infoprovider Specific properties.
Here if you do KEY only, it works.. if you do KEY & TEXT, it works... but if you do TEXT only, it DOESNT work. It works for filter F4 values after report is executed but doesnt work for F4 values on Selection screen. There is no way I am able to get TEXT only on F4 values on selection screen.
3. Set Text in Query
These setting defines how value is displayed on report output. Nothing to do with F4 or Filter values.
Thanks
Abhijit

Forgot to mention - I am on BI 7.0 & Frontend 3.5

How to change the text in default selection screen

Hi,
I have created the default selection screen(using PNP Logical database) ,In that I wants to display 'Data Selection Period' instead of 'Period'.
Please send me the related code.
Thanks in advace
mohan

HR Logical Database is PNP
Main Functions of the logical database PNP:
Standard Selection screen
Data Retrieval
Authorization check
To use logical database PNP in your program, specify in your program attributes.
Standard Selection Screen
Date selection
Date selection delimits the time period for which data is evaluated. GET PERNR retrieves all records of the relevant infotypes from the database. When you enter a date selection period, the PROVIDE loop retrieves the infotype records whose validity period overlaps with at least one day of this period.
Person selection
Person selection is the 'true' selection of choosing a group of employees for whom the report is to run.
Sorting Data·
The standard sort sequence lists personnel numbers in ascending order.
· SORT function allows you to sort the report data otherwise. All the sorting fields are from infotype 0001.
Report Class
· You can suppress input fields which are not used on the selection screen by assigning a report class to your program.
· If SAP standard delivered report classes do not satisfy your requirements, you can create your own report class through the IMG.
