Text Variable Where-used?

Hi, Can't seem to figure out how to do a where-used on a text variable? Anyone?
Thanks!

Kenneth,
First go to table RSZGLOBV and find your variable by the VNAM field. Get the ID of your variable and run the Function Module RRM_SV_VAR_WHERE_USED_LIST_GET. This will give you a list of queries that use the variable.
Thanks,
Jeff

Creating Text Variables to use in BEx Broadcaster

Creating Text Variables to use in BEx Broadcaster OR How to Broadcast reports (Excel output format) and dynamically generate each Excel file name
Hello,
I'm new into posting to this forum, but I always come here when I need some answers and I find them almost everytime.
But now I couldn't find a solution for my problem so I decided that maybe you can help me.
I'm using BEx Broadcaster (I'm working on a SAP BW 7.0, SP17) to broadcast to SAP Portal some Excel files generated from a query.
I use Filter Navigation, because the query provides me with information regarding Sales Orders from all my customers and I need to broadcast an Excel file per customer. This is working perfectly, meaning, with this query I put the Broadcaster generating an Excel file per Customer.
The problem is that I needed that each Excel file had a different name on it.
For example, for Customer1 the Excel file name should be something like Customer1_SalesOrder.xls, for Customer2 it should be Customer2_SalesOrder.xls and so on.
At the present, the Broadcaster generates each Excel file using the technical name of the Query that originated the file. You can use some stardard text variables that broadcaster has available, but these standard text variables don't solve my problem. I needed to create my own Text Variables so I could have the Customer ID on the file name.
Can someone give me a light on this?
Points are obviously awarded.
Thanks,
Cristina

Hi All,
I have a similar requirement, where I publish my reports on to the SAP PORTAL KM folders.
In my broacast setting for the web templates, I have the fisrt tab called
TARGET in PORTAL
File Name : ReportXX MONTHLY_<MONTH_ID> (F4) List
Currently I use the sys variable <MONTH_ID> which gives me the curr month;
My requirement is
If the report is run in the first week of the month, I want to generate a filename_PREVIOUS MONTH (label) and
if the report is run between 7th-30th of the month then to generate a filename_CURRENT MONTH (label)..
On BI.7 POTAL is it possible using some exit variables instead of the system variable which are given in the F4 List.
If so where do I create the exit variable in BW backend or the PORTAL itself so that I can access it from the F4list of of the filename column.
Thanking you in advance for you time.

Standard text (SO10) - 'Where used list'

Dear all,
I would know if SAP provide a standard tool that consents to display a 'where used' list for the standard texts.
I mean, this report has to show where the standard text defined via SO10 are used (SAPScripts, Smartforms...).
Thanks and best regards
Davide

I doubt if there is such report.
Enjoy SAP.

Text Variables - possible use metadata of the document itself?

When using text variables, is it possible to pull the metadata from the document itself (as opposed to a placed image, etc.)?
Thanks,
Kristin.

If the title of the document was the same as the file name, you could use variables:
A second way is more manual. You could use the Section Marker field in Numbering & Section Options. You'd have to enter the title in the field. Then on the Master Page, place a text frame, and choose Type > Insert Special Character > Markers > Section Marker.
Best,
Steve

Is it possible to create a Text Variable that uses text from a structure?

The question is this -
I have created structure which consists of 4 high-level nodes. Each level one node contains a different number of level 2 nodes. Is it possible to use the text from these nodes in replacement path variables?
Example, my structure levels are:
GS
SA
OOI
COGS
If a user drills into COGS, I'd like to display the text "COGS" in the header but I have not found a way to capture it. From what I can tell, the variable editor only allows Characteristics and their text/key or user input text. I don't see an option for Structure level/node text.
Anyone know if this is even possible?
Thanks!

HI!,
I think you should separate programming for AS3 and for FLEX,
this is beacuse they both use different class packages. If you want
your classes to be FLEX compatible you need to extend them from
Flex Objects and not from AS3 Objects.
In sum, if you want your class to be processed by let's say
the application object then you need to extend it from
mx.core.UIObject.
This is because there are lots of methods that FLEX uses to
place your class on the screen that are not used by normal AS3
applications.

Text Variable through Customer Exit using FM MONTH_NAMES_GET

Hi Friends,
I have a query which runs through a variable Key date(ZPDATE). (Key date may also be changed by the user).
I have another customer exit variable(ZVNDATE1) where it reads from the Keydate variable and it represents one month less than the key date and it holds two dates first day of month and last day of month.
Let say: Key date(ZPDATE) = 12.03.2008
             ZVNDATE1 = 01.02.2008 and 28.02.2008
I have created RKF Overdues-1 ristricted with ZVNDATE1.
My requirement is I wan to represent this RKF Overdues-1 as Feb 2008 . In order to do that I want to create a Text variable(ZTEXT1) using customer exit .
As I am not very good in ABAP please can anybody provide me the code for text variable:
I am writing in the below.. but I dont know how to represent FM..etc..
WHEN 'ZTEXT1'.
        READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO w_var_range WITH KEY vnam = 'ZVNDATE1'.
        IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
          CLEAR l_s_range.
          l_date = w_var_range-low.
                   CALL FUNCTION MONTH_NAMES_GET'
Please can you provide me the remaing code..
Thanks
Sudhakar..

Hi Sudhakar,
Instead what you can do is, add few more lines of code instead of calling fm.
case 'month'.
If month = '1'.
desc = 'jan'.
elseif month = '2'.
desC = 'feb'.
endcase.
concatenate desc year into w_v_range-low.
Hope that helps.
Thanks

How to populate a text variable

Hi All,
I need to populate a text variable based on the value of a characteristic in the query. Since the value of the characteristic and the text variable value is not the same I cannot use replacement path. So here I have to use customer exit.
My problem is how to get the value of the characteristic in the customer exit.
If the characteristic is used in a variable I know how to get the value of the characteristic (We can get it from i_t_var_range). But here I am not using the characteristic in any variable. So how will I get the characteristic value in the customer exit.
Any useful help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Anand

Hi Srini,
Based on my above scenario suppose that there are only two month values in the cube, say January and March. So in the column side there will be only two column for each key figure, if only month characteristic is there in the column side, one for January and the second for March. Here I want to populate "First" as value for text variable where January is there and "Third" as value of text variable where March is there.
Here you have mentioned "you can read all available values in cube and pass required value/text to text variables". Here how do I write a code to read the month values from the cube, that is my question.
If it is there in some variable I could have got it from "i_t_var_range". But as per user requirement I cannot use a variable restriction on the month and they want to use this text variable across the queries(which I am not creating, user themselves are creating the queries) based on their requirement.
Thanks,
Anand

Complex Sap text variable in WEBI with replacement path

Hi Gurus,
Variables in Bex
Present Fiscal Qtr : 2012Q4
Fiscal Qtr-8    :        2010Q4
My Output header(TEXT) in Bex as follows.
2010Q4_ ACT     2011Q1_ ACT     2011Q2_ ACT     2011Q3_ ACT     2011Q4_ ACT
2012Q1_ ACT     2012Q2_ ACT     2012Q3_ ACT     2012Q4 BOQ     2012Q4CONS
2012Q4_ACT      2013Q1 BOQ     2013Q1CONS
It's Completly working in Bex. I have used text variable and used replacement path to calculate the above texts.
WEBI : Even though the document from SAP says that the variables will work when it's derived through replacement path,
it's not working.
Question1 :
How can i achive this in webi . I saw some of the posts in SDN . They suggested to use 'USER RESPONSE' command.
Question 2 :
Assume we are using USER RESPONCE , when the current QTR = 2013Q1 . How can we derive the previous 8 Qtr 's , because
every Qtr the values are changing .

Hi,
In which way is it not working? What's your SP and Patch level ?
the webi pre-defined cell you are enquiring about is either =PromptSummary()   or =UserResponse()

Conflict with text variable on Query Designer

Hi,
this is the scenario:
- On Query Designer i got two restricted key figures: K1 and K2.
- I'm usign a manual entered variable for 0CALMONTH.
- On K1 the sales are restricted for the selected month.
- On K2 the sales are restricted to a range between first month of the year, and the selected month-1.
Then on a formula i use K1+K2 and a text variable (selected month) for the name of the column. Then, when running the query, the text for the variable can't be found. There is a conflict on text variable when using 2 restricted key figures on the formula.
How can i solve it ?
thx

Hi,
I assume that your text variable is of replacement type?
If it doesn't work you can create a new text variable of user exit type and derive its value using entered 0CALMONTH.
Best regards,
Eugene

Need Text variable for Bex which take values from another variable

Hello ,
I have a requirement to show date values in query description.
User want to run a query which runs for 5 sept till last sunday.
I have one exit which provides last week date range ( low= last week monday & high = last week sunday )
i have acheieved this by restricting 0calday by range = (5 sept 2011 to exit (above metnioned exist's low) + 6 (offset)
now the problem is user wants to show this date range in query description .
ie suppose user is runnig this query today so the query description should be "5 sept 2011 to 2 oct 2011 "
This could be possible with text variable by using replacement path , but i am unable to figure ot the logic .
Kindly advice .
Regards,
CR

Thanks Sushant ,
In the Tab "Replacement Path " ..there is a drop down -
"Replace variable with" what should be choose in this ?
I have used this selections for genearl tab -
General Tab -
Processing By = Replacement Path

Get value of formula variable during query runtime into a text variable

Hi all,
I wanna get the value of the formula variables during the query runtime into a text variable.
My scenario is like this: First I defined a formula variable Z_DATE_3 which is processing by replacement. It will get the day of a characteristcs(Startdate).
Then I defined a text variable and in the function module related to this text variable, I used the parameter I_T_VAR_RANGE which can store the value of formula variable during the query runtime.So I can read the value from this table in my function module.
But I have a issue, when I run the query which used the defined text variable, it seems that it doesn't call the corresponding function module. Because I set a breadpoint in hte code and it never reach this breakpoint.
If I removed the parameter I_T_VAR_RANGE , it can enter the function module.
So could you please give some advice?
Is my solution correct or not?
And what's wrong with the parameter I_T_VAR_RANGE? Did I use it correctly?
And My code is:
DATA: l_s_range_v TYPE rrrangeexit,
             l_day type sy-datum.
if i_step <> 2.
raise no_processing.
endif.
READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO l_s_range_v
     WITH KEY vnam = 'Z_DATE_3'.
if sy-subrc = 0.
     l_day = l_s_range_v-low.
endif.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards
Fanchest

Hi, Fanchest,
I'm having just the same issue. Did you find a solution?
I wrote a short routine in CMOD to derive the value of a formula variable to a text variable, but it's not working (I don't get any value). Can you share your solution?
Thanks in advance,

Used of Sap text variable with replacement path in Bo designer

Dear experts,
I created a univers based on a SAp BW query. In this query I used a text variable in order to get dynamic header columns.
The text variable is done by using "replacement path" that is the text is derived automatically from the user input triggered by a sap bw variable.
example :
the query contains a restricted key figure which shows net values for a selected year based on variable PYEAR.
The name of this restricted keyfigure is &ZYEAR& where ZYEAR is the text variable with replacement path from the variable PYEAR.
When generated the univers based on this query I get component &YEAR&.
When I use this unvers in WebI my result containts header with &YEAR& althougth I selected for example the year 2006.
According to several how to and white papers on SDN , it seems that text variables with replacement path are supported. So I am disapointed by this result.
Can you give me advise to get a rigth result ?
thanks a lot
Olivier Doubroff

Hi Rishit,
I am trying to achieve the same as you, but it seems like text variables in restricted key figures do not work. I am using BO XI3.1 SP3 and SAP BW 7.01 SP6.
A work-around for me has been to use the "user response" function in webi to create a webi variable that holds the dynamic text title. If the user inputs Jan 2010, I change the input to a date using the "user response" and "ToDate" functions in the webi variable editor. After changing the input to a date I use the RelativeDate to extract 1 month (e.g. 25 days) from the user input. Then I have both Jan 2010 and Dec 2010 as webi variables to use as headers for my restricted key figures.
The formulas can easily become a little long, but by tweaking the user response string, you should be able to get dynamic headings by using webi functionality. But be aware that you need one webi variable for each dynamic heading if you use this method.
Let me know if it works or if I can help more:-)
Best regards,
Morten

Date format in Bex Output should be changed while using with Text Variable

I am using a Bex Query where have defined a Text Variable with replacement path. So whatever Date user enters in the selection screen variable (Input Variable) the same date appears in the report description.
For Ex: If user enters 30.04.2012 in Char Variable/Input Variable before executing the report, so once he executes the report the same date appears on report description like "ABC Analysis as on 20120430". Is also changes the report description whenever user changes the date in selection screen variable.
My requirement is......Date format should be come as 30.04.2012 (DD.MM.YYYY) instead of 20120430 (YYYYMMDD) in report description.
Guys could you please help me out to achieve the desired output.
Rgds,
Ritu

Please check if you have selected Replace with Key in that text variable.
Instead of that select External characteristic value key.
This should help you in giving the desired output.

Using Standard Text Variables for FYPERIOD in Report Title ?

Hi,
We have a requirement where the user input the variable 0fiscper to the query (001.2010). How to get the text value of that variable in the query description in the bex query ?
For example user input, 008.2010. We need to get "Aug 2010 Sales values " where Sales values will be the report text. I want to get Aug (month) and year (2010) before the report title. I have searched in google and sdn and could not find any link, but found a doc for the column header text using the same variable. I have tried the same procedure and its just display the zvariable name and Sales value's instead of the label. Please advise.
Thanks
DR

You can create a Text variable with replacement path of Fiscper as reference char. Select Key in details tab of replacing variable.
If you are just getting technical name, then it is understood that it is not getting replaced.
