ACCESS CURRENT DATE in IP - FOX formula

Dear Experts,
I need to pass current date as the parameter in the ATRT function but I do not have access to any infoobject of type date. If I try to access the value of a variable defined by SAP like 0dat I couldn't save the formula. Please help.
DATA ZPM_TODAY TYPE D.
ZPM_TODAY = VARV( 0DAT ).
The CHECK function results ok but SAVE fails and there is dump in st22 on CX_RSR_COB_PRO_NOT_FOUND . Please suggest.

I defined a function module in ABAP to return the current date when invoked then. You may try "varv" and define a variable with replacement path pointing to any pre-defined variable that gives you the current-date. Hope it helps

Definition of Reference Data in complex Fox Formulas

Hello IP Experts / Gurus / Developers,
As far as I know there is no real concept behind the determination of Reference Data in Integrated Planning, when you do run functions from a sequence and not directly on a Dataprovider (where you have the possiblity to define editable and not editable structure elements).
The reference data is generated at runtime of the FOX Code. Using Complex FOX Code with a nested loop, the reference data in the planning buffer (seen in Planning Modeller) isnt really the data that it should be. Some read statements (in loops, but also outside the loops) are not recognized and obviously do not lead to the definition of Reference Data. This is not a specific problem of my function or architecture. It doesnt occur, when I reduce the complexity of the FOX Code to a few rows.
The question that I have is: Is there any possibility to define reference data in a fox statement or before running it?
Function modules, hidden statements etc. ?
Maybe a trick with running a loop like the one below (doesnt work, it also leads to immense performance issues)
FOREACH YEAR, CCODE IN SELECTION.
VALUE = {0amount, YEAR, CCODE).
EXIT.
ENDFOR.
Thanks in advance for sharing your experience.
Michael

A: Definition of Reference Data in complex Fox Formulas

Hi Michael,
I don't think I understand from your post what is the issue that you are trying to solve; but it would not be correct to say that there is 'no real concept' behind determination of reference data.
Reference data is the data a planning function needs to read, which is outside the selection of the filter under which the function is currently running. So for the same function, reference data can change when running under different filters. Reference data can only be read, not modified - I am sure that is already clear. And also, the selection corresponding to reference data is not locked by planning.
Whenever you put any selection (inside the curly braces - {}) on the right hand side of the equal sign (talking about Fox), and if this selection is not contained in the filter, this data will be read as reference data. Also, statement like FOREACH in REFDATA will read reference data. Regarding the amount of data that is read (and hence the performance impact), it depends on factors like master data (for eg, in the Foreach statement in your code, it must be slow becuase of the huge master data that CCODE might be having), and number of records in cube, that are being read. You cannot really "define" reference data using code - it will be determined at run-time.
Hope this helps.

How to assign current date/time to a formula variable in Query Designer

How do I assign the current date to a formula variable in Query Designer? I need to use current data in a calculation and just need the date the report was run.
Thanks

Hi Philip,
There is an SAP formula variable to supply the current date in a formula. I think it is 0F_ADAY...install it from business content if you cannot see it in the query designer (formula box, under formula variables) and try using it.
Hope this helps...

Current Date in Transfer Rules Formula Editor

Hi!
Anyone aware how to get todays' date in the Transfer Rules Formula Editor?
Aim is to calculate ones actual age based on a given birthday-month-year using the dateDifference function.
Cheers

Hi,
The summary of both posts:
Use a formula
DATE_DIFF( SYST-DATUM, BDAY)
As you understand, the difference will be in days.

Fixed report period based on current date

I want to create a report containing records over a fixed period without using a date parameter. As a example I would like the report to continually draw on data that is no more than say ten years from the current date.
E.g. Current date (xx/xx/2008) to (Current date - 10 years) or xx/xx/1998 then next year the formula would automatically adjust to current date (xx/xx/2009) to (Current date - 10 years) or xx/xx/1999.
I am only a novice when it comes to designing reports so please bear that in mind.

Hi,
Create a RecordSelectionFormula and subtract 10 years from the current date with the DateAdd formula.
E.g.
//DateAdd (intervalType, nIntervals, startDateTime)
{Table.Date} > DateAdd ("yyyy", -10, CurrentDate)
The DateAdd function has more interval types, so you can subtract months, days, hours as well. Check the CR help file and search for DateAdd for details.
Cheers,
Fritz

Fox formula for actual/plan data - Planning function

Hello,
I am working on the following scenarios for developing a planning functions for a monthly forecast.
It is rolling montly forcast where user starts the planning in Jan and he has to show the actaul value for the month of Jan and blank values for the remaining 11 months of the year and then the user post his new forecast values for the remain 11 of the year(to replace initial balnk values) so that the data will be saved to real time cube with version v108
In Feb, Jan & Feb months has to show the act values and remaining 10 months has to show last month forecast data. The the user may revise the forecast for the 10 months and then we have to write the data to the real time cube with version v208
In Mar, Jan, Feb and Mar has to show the actual values and the reamining 9 months has to show the last month forecast and then users may revise the forecast data and then i have to write back to the cube with version v308.
I want to automate this process for all the months and all years without manual intervention. So, i decideed to write a fox formula for this scenario with following draft code.
I will get the fy period & year as a variable values and then take the system date into the variable
for each fy period
if the fy perio <= sys date.
{version, infoprovider,value type,amount} = {0,act cube, 10, 0amount)
else
{version, infoprovider,value type,amount} = {result,plan cube, 20, 0amount)
endif.
result will be calculated on the separe routine and populated here
case (fy per)
when 01.
concatenate v1 with fy+2(2) into y
result = v1+y
when 02.
concatenate v2 with fy+2(2) into y
result = v2+y
when 03.
concatenate v3 with fy+2(2) into y
result = v3+y
when 04.
concatenate v4 with fy+2(2) into y
result = v4+y
when 05.
concatenate v5 with fy+2(2) into y
result = v5+y
when 06.
concatenate v6 with fy+2(2) into y
result = v6+y
when 07.
concatenate v7 with fy+2(2) into y
result = v7+y
etc...for all months
So, can you please let me know the best way to implement this (either by fox formuls or exits)...your inputs are really appreciated
Thanks,
Srini

Hi Srini,
If I 've understood u r problem clearly ,You have to write two Fox Functions and you can call exit variable in both to check the system date.
I think first you should create exit varriable which would return the system date,use the same variable in data slice to lock the data till current period.
After that create one fox restricted with any one version where you can copy the data for planning .for example:-
1)First Fox:-
DATA TIM_FISCPER TYPE 0FISCPER.
TIM_REF_FISCPER = VARV(ZEXIT_FPER).
Get the last month
version using modlue or any another logic .(v108)
FOREACH TIM_FISCPER.
    IF TIM_FISCPER <= TIM_REF_FISCPER.
{0amount,version(001) ,tim_fiscper} = {0amount,version(000) ,tim_fiscper}.
else.
{0amount,version(001) ,tim_fiscper} = {0amount,version(v108) ,tim_fiscper}.
     endfor.
Its just n example use the granularity according to the requirement.
2)Second fox would save the changed plan data:-
DATA TIM_FISCPER TYPE 0FISCPER.
TIM_REF_FISCPER = VARV(ZEXIT_FPER).
Get the last month
version using modlue or any another logic .(v208)
FOREACH TIM_FISCPER.
    IF TIM_FISCPER > TIM_REF_FISCPER.
{0amount,version(v208) ,tim_fiscper} = {0amount,version(001) ,tim_fiscper}.
     endfor.
Here ZEXIT_FPER is an exit variable created using cmod and populated with system date.
Hope it will helpful for u.

How to Get Current Date from MS Access in a Select Statement

From a java method, I want to use JDBC to get the current date from MS Access. In Oracle I would do "select sysdate from dual", but I can't figure out how to do it in MS Access. Here are some of my attempts. I have a table in my Access db called PARM.
//        String sql = "SELECT '0', NOW() FROM PARM";
//rs.next() is false
//        String sql = "SELECT NOW() AS CURR_DT FROM PARM";
//rs.next() is false
//        String sql = "SELECT DATE() AS CURR_DT FROM PARM";
//rs.next() is false
//        String sql = "SELECT NOW()";
//StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
//        String sql = "select { fn now() } from parm";
        String sql = "SELECT Date()";
//java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
        ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
        if (rs.next()) {
            return rs.getString(1);
        } else {
               return null;
          }

Why are you getting it as a String? You should be getting it as a timestamp.
Although getString works for me too. There is something else wrong that you haven't shown.
Here is some shoddy, but simple, test code that demonstrates it working.
import java.sql.*;
public class Test{
public static void main(String args[])throws Exception{
    Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
    Connection c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:stats");
    Statement s = c.createStatement();
    ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery("SELECT NOW()");
    while(rs.next()){
      System.out.println(rs.getTimestamp(1));
    rs.close();
    s.close();
    c.close();
}

Create a formula variable using replacement path for current date

Hi All,
I created a formula variable using replacement path for current date.
But when i used this variable am getting an error message saying .
" This Variable cannot be used in this query".
Could you please let me know the reason?
Thanks,
Zehra

Hi All,
Thanks for all your help...
I just found a solution via the below link
in Bex Formula variabel, Current calander day(sap exit) missing.
Here he is trying to use the existing formula variable.
My doubt here is, Even i could not find this varaible in BEX formula variable, But could see this in BI Content path as mentioned in the above link. DO i have to transport this varaible , or i simply can activate it in production?
I just could find this in BI Content but not in MetaData Repository.
Thanks,

I've tried monkeying with priveleges using Command I, and changing users, but to no avail. Can anyone help?

Right. Here's what the permissions look like from the Finder Command I:
I'm not sure what "Custom" means, but when I then try to change it to "Read & Write", it doesn't take.... just comes back as Custom.

Hi.......
As already said....you can use 0F_ADAY.....
Usually global variables (as formula) are available for every query (and not specifically to a single provider)...in addition, you can find all the formulas when you build a new object (new formula) in your query (you can choose from formula hierarchy)...
Check this..........

Help creating a formula which returns current date last year

I need help creating a formula which returns the current date last year. I also need it to work during leap years.
Any ideas?

Hi Dagros,
I'm lucky to be a universe designer, I have to do this only once
The easiest way would probably be to use
=RelativeDate(CurrentDate();-365)
So subtractiing 365 to get the same date last year,
but you would need some extra logic for the years with a feb 29 in those 365 days.
=If FormatDate(RelativeDate(CurrentDate();-365);"dd") = FormatDate(CurrentDate();"dd")
Then RelativeDate(CurrentDate();-365)
Else RelativeDate(CurrentDate();-366)
Another question to ask is if you really want the same date last year, or if you also want a really 'same day' so monday compared to monday etc. in this case you would just subtract 364 days and get the day 52 weeks back...
Good luck,
Marianne

Current date / day of year in formula

Dear all,
For a calculation, I need the day of the year in order to calculate a year-to-date budget (derived from the full year budget).
[ YTD budget = Full year budget * day of year / 365 ]
The full year budget is in my infocube, as is 0FISCYEAR and 0FISCPER and 0CALMONTH2.
The infocube provides actual and budget data per month (0FISCPER) as most detailed level (so 0calday is not part of my cube).
In order to make the calculation I presume I need the variable 0DAT (SAP Exit) but I am not sure if that is correct.
Problem is: I am not able to and/or don't no how to use this variable. The documentation says that 0DAT is part of 0calday, and I am not using that characteristic...
And when I try to create a new variable, and specify that I want to use a SAP exit and enter the name '0DAT' I get a message in return that the name is already in use....
It seems to be a waste of space to add 0calday to my cube, just to be able to get the current date for my calculation...
So, suggestions would really help me:
How can I use the 'current day of the year' in a formula - preferably without addomg 0calday to my cube...

Hi Ansem,
The defalut 0DAT variable is charecterstic variable which you can't use it in formula(only formula variables can be used in formulas).
So, you need to create a new formula variable with customer exit procssing type. In the customer exit code you assign day of the year to the variable .
Then use this formula varibale in your formula in place of day of year.
If this helps to solve your problem, do not forget to assign points.
