Text function in report

hi ,
I am trying to insert a function in a header in report and i am giving the following command:
<<VariableValue("Grid1",&CurMonth)>>
I guess i m not able to get syntax right
There is no text function error that i get when i run the report neither does it come up with any value.
I have TEXT Function error enabled on my report.
Any help would be appreciated
Edited by: user4958421 on Jul 29, 2009 1:18 PM

Looks like this function only works with SAP BW sources.
From the help file . . . "Used with SAP-BW, VariableValue provides information on what values are used for a SAP-BW variable response."
Instead, try using <<MemberName(“GridName”, Row/Col/Page, “DimName“)>>. An example from one of our reports is <<MemberName("Grid1", 1, "Organization")>>
Hope this helps,

Financial Reports - Text function to trim description for charts

Hello!
I have looked at the text functions in Hyperion Financial Reports Studio 9.3.1 to grab either Member Description or Alias ( Planning ) and need to trim or section or segment per the following example:
Member = "C3402" Alias = "C3402 Major Projects South"
Need to get either "Major Projects South" or just "South" to appear in legend or axes description in charts and graphs.
I have tried MID(<<MemberAlias, 1, 1, 1>>), 7,10) is there something else available?
Any suggestions or input appreciated.
Regards
Nigel

I suggest modifying the descriptions as per the reporting needs, because the descriptions are there to be used on the reports. Removing the name from the description would be a good way but you should be sure that it will not have a negative impact on any of the developed parts of the application..

Use READ_TEXT and concatenate the first lines of the text.
      CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

Can I use the value returned from a Text Function in another Formula?

I'm writing a report in Hyperion System 9 BI + Financial Reporting Studio version 9.2. I have 2 grids in my report.
Grid1 Column A is set up as a text function using the function type - <<GetCell("Grid2", 1, a, 1)>>. I would like to use the values returned from this text function in Column A (Grid 1) in a formula in Column B (Grid 1).
Is it possible to use the values returned in Column A of the text function in another formula? My report does not seem to recognize Column A as numerical values, even though the values to be returned are numerical.
If so, how do I recognize the values in Column A Grid 1 as numerical values and not text?
Thanks for any help you can offer!

Hi Edson,
Yes you need to use the CALC_ERROR macro function to be able to test whether the last macro function returned an error. CALC_ERROR will return an 'X' if there an error occured during the execution of the last macro function.
You can use a macro similar to the following:
IF
CALC_ERROR( )
= 'X'
      DO SOMETHING HERE
ENDIF
Let me explain how this works internally. The SAP system maintains a global variable g_flg_calc_error during the execution of macros in the planning book. The g_flg_calc_error variable will contain the value of f_calc_error that was set by the last macro function which executed. The ABAP coding of a planning book is something like this:
data: g_flg_calc_error type /SAPAPO/FLAG.
* SAP will pass g_flg_calc_error variable to all macro
* functions. When SAP calls a macro function, it does
* something like this.
call function '/SAPAPO/MACRO_FUNCTION_HERE'
        exporting
          plob_values      = i_s_adv_plob_values
          sdp_book         = g_c_advf_sdp_book
          sdp_view         = g_c_advf_sdp_view
        tables
          cols_index       = i_t_cols
          value_tab        = l_t_value_tab
        changing
          f_calc_error     = g_flg_calc_error
As you can see, the g_flg_calc_error variable
is passed in the "changing" part of the call. The macro function being called can then use the f_calc_error
variable to change the value of the global
g_flg_calc_error variable. In fact, the macro function being called can also check (by looking at the f_calc_error variable) if the last macro function reported an error. The CALC_ERROR macro function just checks the value of f_calc_error parameter (w/c in fact is the value of the g_flg_calc_error variable) and returns "true/X" if the f_calc_error was set to true by the last macro function.
Hope this helps in clearing things out

Display GL Account Short Text in FBL3N report line

Dear all,
I have one issue here. I would like to display the GL Account Short Text while executing report FBL3N.By default system will display each GL account and it's short text at the header before the list of all entries for the specific GL account. But user would like to have it at every line item (in the table line) in the report. This is because they need it during excel extraction.
May i know how do i go about this?
Many thanks.

Hello,
Please check the following.
You cannot assign vendor or customer number to sales/purchase GL account with standard settings.
You must do some development for it.
You can add additional field to FBL*N reports with using BTE exit.
First of all, if you don't use BTE before, you must create a product on FIBF.
Call FIBF transaction -> Settings -> Products -> ...of a customer
Create a new line,
Product: ZFI
Text: BTE Products for FI Exit
Product active: tick checks from activation.
Then you must call SE11 for structure RFPOS.
You must use append structure function for this structure and you can define ZFI_RFPOS append structure
Define 4 fields.
Component: KUNNR - Component type: KUNNR
Component: NAMED - Component type: NAME1
Component: LIFNR - Component type: LINFR
Component: NAMEK - Component type: NAME1
Then save and active your RFPOS structure.
After that, you must do same step for structure RFPOSX.
Then go to SE37 and copy from SAMPLE_INTERFACE_00001650 to ZFI_INTERFACE_00001650 FM.
After copy action, you must uncomment this line on ZFI_INTERFACE_00001650 FM's source code. It's very important;
E_POSTAB = I_POSTAB.
Then you should add some ABAP code for getting customer & vendor details.
I give you some examples, you can use it. (Next message on this thread, please check)
Then save and active FM.
Call FIBF transaction again.
FIBF -> Settings -> Process Modules -> ...of a customer
Define a new line.
Process: 00001650
Function Module: ZFI_INTERFACE_00001650
Product: ZFI
and this customizing.
Then you go to SE38 transaction.
start report RFPOSXEXTEND. After starting, a pop-up appears, you must click YES.
After those operations, you can see customer/vendor code and their names on FBL3N.
ABAP source example,
TABLES : bseg, kna1, lfa1.
IF sy-tcode = 'FBL3N'.
CLEAR: bseg.
SELECT SINGLE *
FROM bseg
WHERE bukrs = i_postab-bukrs
       AND belnr = i_postab-belnr
       AND gjahr = i_postab-gjahr
       AND koart = 'K'.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    e_postab-lifnr = bseg-lifnr.
    CLEAR: lfa1.
    SELECT SINGLE *
    FROM lfa1
    WHERE lifnr = bseg-lifnr.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      e_postab-namek = lfa1-name1.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
CLEAR : bseg.
SELECT SINGLE *
FROM bseg
WHERE bukrs = i_postab-bukrs
       AND belnr = i_postab-belnr
       AND gjahr = i_postab-gjahr
       AND koart = 'D'.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    e_postab-kunnr = bseg-kunnr.
    CLEAR: kna1.
    SELECT SINGLE *
    FROM kna1
    WHERE kunnr = bseg-kunnr.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      e_postab-named = kna1-name1.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.

Need custom column widths in Append Text Table to Report

I need to print reports with tables of different column widths specified for each column, as the contained fields vary in width from just 3 characters in one column to 40 characters in another. Also we are trying to match the reports generated by a non-labview routine. In the past I have been able to achieve this by editing the Append Table to Report vi, working my way through the inner hierarchy to replace the DBL numeric COLUMN WIDTH control with a DBL numeric array. The innermost vi, Set Table Column Width, assigns the numeric to a property node in a for loop, so the change is simple: replace the scalor with an array and enable indexing on the for loop. Of course, after each Labview upgrade, I've had to go back in and repeat these edits on the overwritten upgraded vi's. This time there is a problem. The new version of this toolkit is object oriented, and disturbing these vi's wrecks the class methods in a way I don't understand (mostly because I've had no dealings with object oriented programming) and which cannot be undone. I recently tried this and after not being able to fix the problem even with phone support, I had to spend the next two days unistalling and reinstalling Labview! I desperately need a way to achieve this functionality without killing the toolkit, which is used (in its original functionality) by another absolutely critical program. PLEASE HELP!
The hierarchy is as follows:
NI report.lvclass:Append Table to Report (wrap)
NI report.lvclass:Append Table to Report
NI Standard report.lvclass:Append Text Table to Report
NI Standard report.lvclass:tables
NI Report Generation Core.lvlibet Table Column Width

There is a highly relevant thread under discussion here:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=features&thread.id=429
You may wish to read it and chime in as it is a discussion of LabVIEW's policy (and possible change in policy for the future) concerning the handling of non-palette VIs between LV versions.

I doubt that it is a simple fix -- our AEs are generally top notch at figuring out solutions for customers -- if it were simple, my bet is they'd have solved it. Asking an AE to work around a bug is different from asking them to rearchitect the toolkit. You are asking them to add a feature that the new version of the toolkit is not
designed to support. The difficulty in doing this is completely independent of the decision to use LabVIEW classes to implement the toolkit. If any piece of software is not designed with a particular use case in mind, what may be a simple tweak under one design may become a very hard problem under another design.
In your case, the solution is very straightforward: Use the older version of the toolkit. Any time you create a custom modification of the VIs that ship with LV or one of its toolkits, you should make your own copy and have your VIs link against the copy. LabVIEW promises to maintain all the public functionality version over version. Usually we succeed at that. What we do not promise is to maintain our private implementation of that functionality. It is impossible for LabVIEW (or any other software library) to maintain all of its private internal operations while still continuing any development. Using a copy of the original VIs shields you from having to recode your changes every version (something you've already mentioned is a chore) and it guarantees that functionality that you relie upon does not disappear.
I hope you are willing to be understanding of this situation and not hold it against the AEs working on this. They try hard to provide excellent customer service, and spend lots of time inventing custom solutions for our users. This happens to be a situation where the correct fix is not to modify the new toolkit version to do something it wasn't designed to do but to modify your development process so that the problem is solved now and into the future.

Hi...
For this u can use READ TEXT Function module...
U just need to pass Object Id,

How do you set the line spacing when using the Append Text Table to Report VI?

I have a table of numbers which I wish to print using the report generation VI's. Since each column has a different numerical format, I first convert the number for each cell to a string with the appropriate format and then build a string array to pass to the Append Text Table to Report VI. The table is printed with double line spacing. How do I reset this for single spacing?

Dave,
The issue is not with the NI-Reports functionality, but the Array to Spreadsheet String funvtion in the for loop. Here is the context help for this function:
"Converts an array of any dimension to a table in string form, containing tabs separating column elements, a platform-dependent EOL character separating rows, and, for arrays of three or more dimensions, headers separating pages."
The thing to note here is that it says it adds an EOL (end of line) character at the end of every row. This is what is happening. Your first column of data has a \r\n in it and adds the second row to each data item. This in turn makes the rest of the columns have a larege blank space at the bottom so that all of the cell heights are equal. I w
ould re-write that little bit of code so that you just do one large string concatenation of number, spaces, number, spaces, number and this should solve your issue.
Thank you for using the Developer Zone Discussion Forums.

*Fatal Error: Unexpected exception processing text functions*

Does anybody have the issues of working with MemberAlias Text Function

Hi,
I am trying to use <<MemberAlias>> text function, but it seems is only works when I put my dimension on POV, but not on PAGE.
My sytax is <<MemberAlias("Grid2", Current, "Company")>>, Company dimension is on Page, but it only gave me the membername like CO01, but I need MemberAlias Name. I checked Alias on Page properties.
I tired Memberdescription text function, it does not work with Page either.
I am at Hyperion Reports 9.3.1. Is it a bug? Any patch?
Thanks!

Yes, I can get the Alias name on the page drop down box, but not on my reference Name by using MemberAlias function.
The purpose we want to use MemberAlias function is because the content from the drop down box is showing like one line of four dimensions information together like: CompanyA, Location01, Cost Center 007. Client want to break this one row into three static rows like:
CompanyA
Location01
Cost Center 007
So we are using MemberAlias name to do this, but FR give us only the membername. If there is any way can break the drop down content automatically, then we do not have to use MemberAlias function.
Thanks in advance.

JRC Export to Text like Crystal Report Designer Export

We need to Export report to Text like Crystal Report Designer Export using JRC. Is this possible? I see export ReportExportFormat CSV, PDF and RTF only. These exports are working, But I need plain text that looks like Text export of Crystal Reports Designer. I see this working in RAS 2008. What I can do to get this with JRC. I am using Crystal Reports 2008 to design reports.
Thanks for any help.
Regards
Raveendra
Clarification

Thank you Jitin.
What could be solution to this problem?
If still I want to go with JRC, Can I write some Java code to perform this export?
I see TextExportFormatOptions and its not working.
If I want to export automatically to text format, what other choices are there?
Basically I need to execute report and generate text file automatically. Text file should look like Crystal Report Designer Exported Text file.
Thank you for your time.
