Opendoc date range into Bex query

We are having an issue when trying to pass a date range in an Opendoc link. The report is built off a BEx query, within the report we have an Opendoc link into a child version of the report. I can pass all the other prompts with no issue except for one which is the date range.
I am defining the date range as "[19000101]..[19000101]" but we keep getting this error message:
Has anyone lese had this issue?
Thanks

Hi,
Try This
"[Date(2014,04,01)]..[Date(2014,04,11)]"
"[Date(yyyy,MM,dd)]..[Date(yyyy,MM,dd)]"

User Prompt for Date Range in Bex Query Analyzer

I have a workbook that has two queries. The queries both require the user to enter a date range upon refresh. I want the user to be able to hit refresh, enter the date input into the dialog box and then both queries to use this date range for their input. I have seen this in other book, but when I click refresh on my book it only runs the first query. How do I get the second query to use the first queries input?

use the same variable in both the queries. this will let the user enter the date in a single variable and this will refresh both the queries.

Error while trying to retrieve data from BW BEx query

The following error is coming while trying to retrieve data from BW BEx query (on ODS) when the Characters are more than 50.
In BEx report there is a limitation but is it also a limitation in Webi report.
Is there any other solution for this scenario where it is possible to retrieve more than 50 Characters?

Hi,
That warning / error message will be coming from the MDX interface on the BW server. It does not originate from BOBJ.
This question would be better asked to support component BW-BEX-OT-MDX

Can I use SYSDATE in the WHERE clause to limit the date range of a query

Hi,
Basicaly the subject title(Can I use SYSDATE in the WHERE clause to limit the date range of a query) is my question.
Is this possible and if it is how can I use it. Do I need to join the table to DUAL?
Thanks in advance.
Stelios

As previous poster said, no data is null value, no value. If you want something, you have nvl function to replace null value by an other more significative value in your query.<br>

Date Range Selection in Query Templates

Thanks in advance

Posted: Feb 15, 2007 6:43 AM    in response to: Muzammil Ahamed       Reply      E-mail this post
Hi Muzammil,
In data range section you can have multiple options like setting start datetime and end datetime.. And you can set the shift (or) time period and also the format of the time periods.
Primarily we use the start date and end date querying to fetch data between two time labels. I can explain this one with example..
You have batch production table with columns Production Time, Batch Id, Production Qty. Then you want all the details between the 02/02/2007 to 05/02/2007.
Solution :
1.Map 02/02/2007 with Start date.
2.Map 05/02/2007 with end dare.
Now these two become the variables [SD] and [ED].
Now you have mentioned the date range, but you need to mention for which column these things to be applied. For that
3.In Query tab enter Production Time column name in Date column at the bottom.
Now you have written query like Select * from batch prodcution where production time > 02/02/2007 and production time < 05/02/2007.
4. Even those values you mapped (SD and ED) you can change from the front page through Java script.
Like wise you have so many other advantages also.
If you have any other specific doubt let me know.
Thanks,
Rajesh.

CONVERT   DATE RANGE INTO MONTHS

HI FRIENDS,
ACTUALLY IN MY SELECT-OPTIONS I HAVE USED DATE BETWEEN 03/06/1980 TO 04/12/1980
BASED ON THIS DATE I HAVE TO CALCULATE NUMBER OF MONTHS.
WILL THIS BE DONE AUTOMATICALLY OR I NEED TO WRITE ANY CODE FOR CONVERTING THE DATE RANGE INTO NUMBER OF MONTHS.
REGARDS
SIRI.

Hi,
Use FM's : MONTHS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES_NEW
           MONTHS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES
           FIMA_DAYS_AND_MONTHS_AND_YEARS
Sample code :
DATA : x_no_months type i.
DATA : x_stdat like sy-datum,
       x_enddat like sy-datum.
       x_stdat = s_date-low
       x_enddat = s_date-high
CALL FUNCTION 'MONTHS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES'
    EXPORTING
      i_datum_bis = x_stdat
      i_datum_von = x_enddat
    IMPORTING
      e_monate    = x_no_months.
x_no_months will contain no.of months.

Spliting user entered date range into u201CFrom Date u201C and u201C To dateu201D-user exit

Hi,
In the query i have a created a popup variable for date range for which the processing type is customer exit. When the user exceutes the query he gets the popup for the date range with the default values. The default values are set one month backward.
For example: if today is 5/19/2008, then the popup date range shows 4/19/2008 to 5/19/2008.
Already there is an user exit written for the same.
Now the requirement is i need to split From date and to date entered by user and use them in seperate selections to restrict the keyfigure in the keyfigure column of the query.
Can anyone throw a light on this, how to go about?
Shall i need to create two different variables from date and two date and populate the values, if yes how can i do that ?
Thanks,
Rani.
Edited by: rani on May 19, 2008 10:22 AM

Hello Rani,
                 Check this code,
var1 is already existing variable with values from date and to date values.
ztest1 is the first customer exit single variable,
ztest2 is the second customer exit variable.
ztest1 and ztest2 you can use these variables in the restricted keyfigures which you have mentioned.
when 'ztest1'.
    if i_step = 2. "after the popup
      loop at i_t_var_range into loc_var_range
      where vnam = 'var1'.
        clear l_s_range.
        l_s_range-low = loc_var_range-low.
        l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
        l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
        append l_s_range to e_t_range.
        exit.
      endloop.
    endif.
when 'ztest2'.
    if i_step = 2. "after the popup
      loop at i_t_var_range into loc_var_range
      where vnam = 'var1'.
        clear l_s_range.
        l_s_range-low = loc_var_range-high.
        l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
        l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
        append l_s_range to e_t_range.
        exit.
      endloop.
    endif.
hope it helps,

Date Filter in BEx Query not applied to Webi Document

Hi
I have a simple BEx Query on 0MATERIAL - with Article (0MATERIAL) and Created On Date (0CREATEDON) characteristics in the Rows and 1ROWCOUNT key figure in the columns.
If I restrict the BEx Query on 0MATERIAL to a single value, only that particular record is returned when I run the query in WebI - which shows Article and Created On Date.
However, if I restrict the BEx Query to a specific 0CREATEDON date, the WebI report ignores this restriction and returns ALL records in the InfoProvider 0MATERIAL.
If I run the BEx Query in the web, only those records with the particular restricted date are returned, so why does the WebI report ignore the BEx Query date restriction? Any ideas where I am going wrong?
Thanks
Anton

Hi Victor
Thanks for the reply. It turns out even after refreshing the universe structure and exporting I had to shut down Webi and reopen it for the changes (date restriction) to take effect.
But thanks for the headsup on that bug/SAP note anyway - it is helpful to know.

Last GR Date in the Bex Query

Hello Experts,
I have one requirement in BW, where I need to get the last GR (Goods Receipt) date.
In my query, I will be having 4 KEY Fields and 1 CHR Field
CHR Field is “ 0MATERIAL
KEY Field is : Closing Stock Qty , Closging Stock Value, GR Value, and Last GR Date
I am using 0PUR_C01 and 0IC_C03 info provider for this query. Now my concern is, how do i get the “Last GR Dates”.
No matter to which date I execute the report, it should always shows the latest date on when we have done the last GR.
For example.. I executed the query as on 31/Dec/2013.. But the last GR date should be let’s say 03/April/2014.

Sachin

Passing the Date range within the query

Hi ,
In my query , I have two date characteristic, and while doing the selection I have to do selection on only one date field.
This selection is a date range selection , So I have used a selection variable for this.
Can anyone please let me know if it is possible to pass the selection range to other variable. Is it possible to use Customer exit to pass the complete range.
Thanks
Altair

Hi,
You can do it in the user exit.And that is the only approach to transfer the values of one variable to other variable .
Search this forum for the code. you will find lot of postings.

Thanks a lot in advance.

That means your database is in a different locale than mine. When I select cast(Edate as varchar), I get the date returned in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD'. That's why I use(left(cast(Edate as varchar),4) + right(left(cast(Edate as varchar),7),2) to get it the format 'YYYYMM' before converting it into an integer.
Your database most probably returns dates in a format like D/MM/YYYY. That's the reason for the error you get. You'll have to select (right(cast(Edate as varchar),4) + left(right(cast(Edate as varchar),7),2) to obtain the same results as I do.
Alternatively, you can use the convert function to obtain the same results:
     select max(
     cast(left(convert(varchar,Edate,102),4) + right(left(convert(varchar,Edate,102),7),2) as int) + 1 -
     cast(left(convert(varchar,Sdate,102),4) + right(left(convert(varchar,Sdate,102),7),2) as int))
     FROM src_split'
It's always good practice to test the SQL-statements in your database client first before including them in a DS script.
Also, I suddenly realise this statement will only return the correct result when your Edate and Sdate are always within the same year. If that's not the case, but the gap between Edate and Sdate is always less than 10 years, change your statement to:
     select max(
     cast(left(convert(varchar,Edate,102),4) + right(left(convert(varchar,Edate,102),7),2) as int) + 1 -
     cast(left(convert(varchar,Sdate,102),4) + right(left(convert(varchar,Sdate,102),7),2) as int)) % 88
     FROM src_split'

Can Business Objects Web Intelligency reports access NearLine Storage data Via BW Bex Query

Hi Gurus,
I am aware BEX queries can access NearLine Storage data for reporting but can Business Objects Web Intelligency reports access NearLine Storage data Via BICS connection ( Bex Query as a Source).
Thanks,
Shak.

I would recommend to let your SAP Basis guys do a security trace on the SAP BW side and see if some authorization check for the user fails when trying to fetch data over the universe.

Function Module for separating a date range into days

Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is a function module which gives back the list of days when we give a date range as input parameter to the function module. For example, we enter the range 10.07.2006 - 13.07.2006 and the function module gives back a table in form 10.07.2006, 11.07.2006, 12.07.2006, 13.07.2006.
Thanks,

3. just copy paste
4.
data : itab type table of sy-datum with header line.
parameters : fromdate type sy-datum default '20060701'.
parameters : todate type sy-datum default sy-datum.
perform getdays tables itab using fromdate todate.
break-point.

KM Document InfoProvider Data Assignment from BEx Query

Hello,
I am trying to create a document in a BEx query that applies to the combination of characteristics in the report but can be viewed by other queries on that same InfoProvider. When I create the document, it is automatically assigned the InfoProvider name and Query name. How do I change the default assignments for new documents so that it is query agnostic? In the link below I'm trying to replicate the scenario "InfoProvider ABC"
