The system always asks with the description of the field you refer to with the parameter variable in the select statement.
I sometimes defined a UDT only for getting the appropriate title in the parameter entering window. The table has no data; I used it only for its field names.
(The parameter request can be placed inside a comment and the entered value is used setting an SQL variable like this:
declare @d datetime
/*select t.createdate from ordr t where t.createdate=[%0]*/
set @d=[%0]
This SQL variable can be used later in the real query.)
(But then you loose the possibility to choose from the u2018List of existing valuesu2019

Frm-40208 from running in query mode. cannot change database fields

Hi,
Could some one help me with this.
I am calling a form from another form. I am passing the parameter list to the calling form and doing a query by setting the block property. But when queries the message
FRM-40208 Form running in query mode. cannot change database fields .
I do not want the message to appear when they go the called form . Please some one could help me how could I avoid displaying the message.
Regards
Bain

Hi,
Good day! I am working with a module that also calls another form. It uses call_form with query mode parameter set to query_only. My problem is, whenever i call the other form using the call_form, it would display the called module and then as it populates the detail block of the called form, it will display frm-40208 from running in query mode. cannot change database fields per record. What I want is for the message to be displayed only once.
I have tried capturing the error by using on-error trigger, but it doesn't go to that whenever the other form was being called. I think the message has to do with the post-query trigger, because it passes some values on a dbase block objects.
Do you have any suggested solutions or workarounds to make the message display only once whenever the other form is being invoked by the call_form?
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions/ideas.
Thanks and regards,
ASantiago

How to add into dynamic selection criteria (FBL1N) - custom field from LFB1

Hello all,
i have following problem. I added new customer field into table LFB1 (Z* field). And now i need to use this field as dynamic selection criteria in transaction FBL1N. I enhanced selection view for logical database KDF - i have created new customer view and I added my new field from LFB1. It is OK, i see this field in dynamic selection criteria in FBL1N but if i try to select according that Z* field, short dump occured.
open cursor with hold LC_KRED for select (VF_KRED_FIELDS)
        from <b>VF_KRED</b>
          where LIFNR in KD_LIFNR
          and   BUKRS in KD_BUKRS
          and   LAND1 in KD_LAND1
          and   KONZS in KD_KONZS
          and   VBUND in KD_VBUND
          and   AKONT in KD_AKONT
          and   BUSAB in KD_BUSAB
          and (VF_KRED_WHERE)
Problem is in VF_KRED - this is database view (LFA1 joins LFB1). This view has no Z* fields and therefore it cannot be use in statement above -> dump.
Is needed repature of standard - enhancement of view VF_KRED?
Thank you very much.

Hi guys,
thanks so far. I managed to show prompts in the report. But still my problem is nor 100% solved
I would like t achieve that the filtered criteria in the report title is separated through a comma like in the report filter summary - e.g.: {001, 002, 003, 004} followed by just 1chart/table that is including the whole information.
When I however just drag a variable into the report it automatically created different sections, right? Like ........ table, chart, whatever... .......table chart whatever........

I have tried many times but it just does not work
Query me this:

Duplicate Entries in query Selection Criteria

Hi,
I am having Infoobject 'period' in Query Filter,in drop down of selection it is showing Two values for each period.
This infoobject is fetching data from master table T009B,This table is having Two calenders for period.
Please let me know what can I do to restrict to single entry for each period.
Thanjks
Sudhakar

Hi Sudhakar
You can use Customer exit variable if not already using. That way you can remove duplicate entries via little ABAP.
You can go through the following link for the steps involved in creating a Customer Exit variable.

Multiple selection criteria on same field, different parts of report

Post Author: CathyH
CA Forum: Formula
New user here - I just finished a Crystal Reports course and still don't know what I'm doing so I need help!
I am building a report that will show Bugdeted Revenues and Costs and Actual Revenues and Costs (4 seperate fields).
My report will be divided into several sections i.e. Manufacturing Phase, Installation Stage, etc.
Each section will include different Cost Categories (another field) so I need to be able to pull only certain records (categories) from this field.
Could someone please tell me how to structure the report as follows:
                                                    Budgeted Revenue        Budgeted Costs                 Actual Revenue            Actual Costs
Manufacturing Stage
Cost Category:
Paint
Hardware
Installation Stage
Labour
I will be most grateful for any help you can provide.
Cathy

CA Forum: Formula
Ok - so I've set up the different sections of the report...but I'm trying to insert formula fields for each Cost Category and having trouble with the formula to select only certain records (I keep getting an error). It's probably very simple but I can't for the life of me figure it out - I tried all kinds of formulas before I posted for help.
Maybe this will clarify:
Sum the Total Current Revenue      of only Cost Category "Paint"
{PMCATEGT.TCURREVHM}        {PMCATEGS.DESC} = "PAINT"
and in another part of the report for example
Sum the Total Current Revenue of only Cost Category "Installation"

Can we change parameter descriptions in Selection Criteria. YES we can!

Dear All,
I have been struggling some time on some way to change the parameter descriptions in the Query - Selection Criteria screen.
While doing numerous tests on trial-and-error, I accidentally hit upon a solution which appears to work!
To change a parameter description, we simply have to reverse the order in which the WHERE clause is written.
Please refer to the Query below:
I used Customization Tools to create a UDT called @SCANNING
and a UDF called U_ourref
          Title   : ourref
          Description : Our Reference
If I use WHERE clause the conventional way, ie
WHERE
T1.[ImportLog] = @ourref
I get the following Selection Criteria screen:
Query - Selection Criteria Screen
Import Log         .........................
[OK]   [Cancel]
If I write WHERE clause by interchanging the 2 sides of the equality, i.e
WHERE
@ourref = T1.[ImportLog]
I get this screen:
Query - Selection Criteria Screen
Our Reference         .........................
[OK]   [Cancel]
Well! Is this not a way of changing the parameter description?
And it works!
My Problem
The solution is nice. However, I wanted to use LIKE instead of EQUAL TO
in order to allow Query to search for similar items.
With the conventional clause, I can use '%[%1]%' in declaration and LIKE in the WHERE clause.
With the reverse clause, I cannot figure out how to do it.
Could anybody help?
Thanks
Leon Lai
declare @ourref nvarchar (30)
set @ourref =
/*select T2.U_ourref FROM [dbo].[@SCANNING] T2 where T2.U_ourref*/ '[%1]'
SELECT
T0.[TaxDate] AS 'Doc Dt',
T0.[DocNum] AS 'SAP Ref.',
T0.[CardName] AS 'Supplier Name',
T0.[DocTotal] AS 'Amount',
T1.[ImportLog] AS 'Our Ref',
T1.[BlockNum] AS 'Reqn No.'
FROM [dbo].[OPCH] T0
INNER JOIN [dbo].[PCH1] T1 ON T0.[DocEntry] = T1.[DocEntry]
INNER JOIN [dbo].[OJDT] T2 ON T0.[TransID] = T2.[TransID]
WHERE
@ourref = T1.[ImportLog]

Dear István Korös ,
My main concern was modifying the Parameter Description in the Selection Criteria Screen.
I certainly tried your suggestion, and it works, but unless I modified the WHERE Clause
from :
T1.[ImportLog].@ourref
to:
@ourref = T1.[ImportLog]
the Selection Criteria screen shows:
Query - Selection Criteria Screen
Import Log         .........................
[OK]   [Cancel]
It is only after I have 'primed' the system by using:
WHERE
@ourref = T1.[ImportLog]
that the Parameter Description changes to:
Query - Selection Criteria Screen
Our Reference         .........................
[OK]   [Cancel]
I can then use your line:
WHERE T1.[ImportLog] like '%'@ourref'%'
without any problem. The amended Parameter Description remains!
I noticed something strange:
Once I have 'primed' the system, it always shows the amended description on the Selection screen!
Before priming, it always showed the system description.
Don't know why?
Anyway, I found a trick to 'prime' the system in all my queries to make sure the amended name appears
on the Selection screen. I write:
WHERE
(@ourref    = T1.[ImportLog] OR
T1.[ImportLog] like '%'@ourref'%')
The first line is just for priming to ensure the Parameter Name will be changed.
The 2nd line is the correct code to use.
With this trick, we can change the Parameter Descriptions to whatever name we want.
The only problem is that you lose the function List of available values.
Thanks a lot,
Leon Lai

Can we use Selection Criteria Screen to tell Query which SQL script to run?

Dear All,
When I run this code, it gives me the screen below:
declare @ScanOp4 nvarchar (30)
set @ScanOp4=
/*select T3.U_ScanOp4 from [dbo].[@SCANNING] T3 where T3.U_ScanOp4*/ '[%0]'
I have used Tools -> Customization to define a UDT and UDF
Query - Selection Criteria
Invoice / Credit Note?            [----------------- ]
                                 (there's a drop-down arrow with 2 choices:
                                  Inv = Invoice
                                  CN = Credit Note
[OK]       [Cancel]
Now, I have 2 very similar queries; the only difference is that they use different tables because one is for
Purchases (OPCH/PCH1), and the other is for Credit Memos (ORPC/RPC1)
I want to put the above declaration together with my 2 queries all in a single query so that:
(a) If I select 'Invoice', the Invoice part is executed and only invoices are displayed,
(b) If I select 'Credit Note', the Credit Note part is executed and only Credit Notes are displayed.
Do you think such a Query is possible? If yes, please give me an idea how I can achieve it.
I don't want to use UNION ALL because one of my fields is a LINK field to which I have linked all PDF Scanned documents.
I want to preserve the links, since this is the reason I'm writing the query.
Thanks
Leon Lai
Here are my skeleton codes
1st Query: User selects 'Invoice' -

2nd Query: User selects 'Credit Note' -
SELECT
T0.[TaxDate] AS 'Doc Dt',

FROM [dbo].[ORPC] T0
INNER JOIN [dbo].[RPC1] T1 ON T0.[DocEntry] = T1.[DocEntry]

Hi,
Let the variable for 0CALDAY be ZVARDAY of Processing type Customer Exit Interval
Let the variable for 0CALYEAR be ZVARYER of User Entry single value
Add the 0CALYEAR to the Filter and attach the variable ZVARYER
Go to Cmod transaction and add the code to the variable exit
check the code with an Abap Consultant.
WHEN 'ZVARDAY'.
    IF i_step = 2.
      READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO zrange
        WITH KEY vnam = 'ZVARYER'.
      lyear = zrange-low+0(4).
        CONCATENATE lyear '0101' INTO l_s_range-low.
        CONCATENATE lyear '1231' INTO l_s_range-high.
      APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.

Updated Report Selection Criteria doesn't show in Publication

Hi,
This is my first post in this forum and I'm relatively new to Crystal Reports Server.
We have Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1 SP3.
I have two independent reports that I've put together in a report publication. The report is saved to the file system.
I made a change to one of the report's selection criteria. I viewed the report thru the Crystal Reports Program and Infoview/CMC to confirm the additional records I wanted showing were showing. They were and everything worked.
A week went by and I noticed that the saved report didn't have the additional records.
I've contacted SAP support and we were able to get everything working by doing the following
1) Remove the updated report from the publication's Source Documents list. Save and Close
2) Re-add the report to the publication's Source Documents list.
3) Delete the old recurring schedule (so we don't have two instances doing the same thing).
4) Re-create a new schedule for the delivery (not reschedule and replace an existing nor reschedule and create new, but a brand new one).
These changes were compounded by the fact that I had 4 different scheduled instances, each with a different parameters, so these 4 steps were actually closer to 8.
In my own testing I was able to confirm something similar happens with a single report (not part of a publication) when you change the selection criteria. I had to create a new scheduled delivery in order to get the selection criteria change to flow thru.
My questions to all you is
Is there some other way to distribute 2 reports in way that making a change the criteria of the report doesn't require doing anything else?
Thanks.

Can we make the SELECTION CRITERIA BOX act as a Menu / Submenu system?

Dear All,
I have written several queries.
For user convenience, I wish to combine all related queries in a single Query and use the Selection Criteria box as a Menu System to select which Query script to run.
I can already do this by the use of variables.
But all variables are shown in the Selection Criteria Box, and users must fill in only the relevant boxes.
It's not a problem, but as the number of Queries grows, the Selection box becomes quite long and distracting.
I wonder if it is possible to create a sub-menu?
Example
Let's say: When you run the Query, it gives this Selection Box:
Query - Selection Criteria
Choose a Report                                  [                     ]
                                                There are 2 choices:
                                                       (a) AP Aging by Document Date
                                                       (b) AP Aging by Posting Date
[OK]                [Cancel]
When you choose AP Aging by Doc Date, this Selection Box should pop up:
Query - Selection Criteria
Document Date                                  [                     ]
[OK]                [Cancel]
And when you choose AP Aging by Posting Date, this Selection Box should pop up:
Query - Selection Criteria
Posting Date                                  [                     ]
[OK]                [Cancel]
Please let me know if this kind of menu / sub-menu system is possible using SQL only?
I tried (see code below), but all variables appear on the initial screen (not what I expect) - like this:
Query - Selection Criteria
Choose a Report                             [                     ]
Document Date                               [                     ]
Posting Date                                [                     ]
[OK]                [Cancel]
Thanks

/* @apaging1 : [0 = Summary] [Detailed] */
If @apaging1 = ' ' set @apaging1 = 'Sum'
If @apaging1 = 'Sum'
GOTO Screen1
If @apaging1 = 'Det'
GOTO Screen2
Screen1:
begin
declare @aptxn nvarchar (30)
set @aptxn =
/*select T9.U_aptxn from [dbo].[@APTRXNS] T9 where T9.U_aptxn*/ '[%9]'
/*@aptxn: [0 = PU] [PC] [Both]*/
If @aptxn = ' ' set @aptxn = 'PU'
end
Screen2:
begin
declare @taxdt1 date
set @taxdt1=
/*select T1.[TaxDate] from [dbo].[OPCH] T1 where T1.[TaxDate]*/              '[%5]'
end

Variable selection criteria in the record selection

Variable selection criteria in the record selection with Crystal Report with SQL 2005 Server tables.
In the record selection I would like to use the value of the field u201CsSQL1u201D as part of the selection criteria instead the field name {tblReportAccessAutority.sSQL1}
The value of the field {tblReportAccessAutority.sSQL1} is {tblSalesReporting.sJEDivisionCode} = 'I'
I tried with formulas, SQL expressions, but nothing works.
Record selection of the report:
{tblReportAccessAutority.sUserID} = CurrentCEUserName
and {tblSalesReporting.sLegalEntity} = {?Legal Entity}
and {tblSalesReporting.sJEPeriod} = {?PARAM_PERIOD}
and {tblSalesReporting.sIG3rd} = {?PARAM_IG3RD}
and {tblReportAccessAutority.sSQL1} <---this is the problem line
The field {tblReportAccessAutority.sSQL1} is not converted in the value:
{tblSalesReporting.sJEDivisionCode} = 'I'
The tables tblSalesReporting and tblReportAccessAutority are joined in this report.
Many thanks for your help.
Roger

How is the syntax for the selection criteria in the record selection?
{tblReportAccessAutority.sUserID} = 'ch1scro2'
and {tblSalesReporting.sLegalEntity} = {?Legal Entity}
and {tblSalesReporting.sJEPeriod} = {?PARAM_PERIOD}
and {tblSalesReporting.sIG3rd} = {?PARAM_IG3RD}
and SELECT {@sSQL_Condition} ???????? or
and {@sSQL_Condition} ??????? or how?
The expression fir the formula {@sSQL_Condition} is:
TOTEXT({tblReportAccessAutority.sSQL1})
The field definition for {tblReportAccessAutority.sSQL1} is nvarchar(50).
Thanks Roger

How to count no. of days from selection criteria in BEx

hi,
I need to do some calculations in query and one of requirements is to count number of days for which query was executed (day period is in query selection criteria)
I would like to use it for calculated KF definition.
Does somebody knows how to get this number?
Regards,
Andrzej

Hi Andrzej,
The answer is correct - you have to do it in user-exit. You have to learn it becouse its a very powerfull solution and is very ofen used in reporting.
See help ... http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f1/0a56f5e09411d2acb90000e829fbfe/content.htm
In the interface of this exit you will find all query selections + sy-datum = what you need.
