Ad hoc query titles

Hi all,
I am making an adhoc query of an infotype - say 0001.
Now whatever fields have lov's or f4 possible value helps, their heading in the output is coming in proper text like 'personal number" etc. All those fields which are free text - like Legal Person ( P0001-JUPER) are coming as headings like 'LP'. i.e. their proper text is not coming. Please let me know how to change this text to the approprriate field description. Also if I created some fields in a custom infotype as data element type 'XFELD' check box, there the heading of the field in the ad hoc query is coming as 'Checkbox' which is actually the short description of the domain ' XFELD'. Please let me know how to change this to desiered heading..
Thanks
Ribhu

Dear Ribhu,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/fb/ac5f2d61ae11d295b10000e82de14a/frameset.htm
Using transaction CMOD chose the following menu option
TextEnhancements -> Keywords -> change
2) Give Data Element name
3) Enter the data element that you wish to change the display text for, then click the change icon(Pencil). You will then be presented with the screen, which allows you to modify the text values of the data element.
Hope this will help.

Naveen.

Difference between sap query and sap ad hoc query

Hello Experts-
Is there any difference between sap query and sap ad hoc query. If yes, I will appreciate if you can provide some input.
Thanks,

Hi,
SAP Query
Purpose
The SAP Query application is used to create reports not already contained in the default. It has been designed for users with little or no knowledge of the SAP programming language ABAP.
SAP Query offers users a broad range of ways to define reports and create different types of reports such as basic lists, statistics, and ranked lists.
Features
The SAP Query comprises five components: Queries, InfoSet Query, InfoSets, User Groups and Translation/Query.
Classic reporting- the creation of lists, statistics and ranked lists- are covered by the InfoSet Query and Queries components. Other components range of functions cover the maintenance of InfoSets, the administration of user groups and also the translation of texts created in the SAP Query.
All data required by a user for a report can be read from various tables.
To define a report, you first have to enter individual texts, such as titles, and select the fields and options which determine the report layout. In the WYSIWYG mode, you can edit the lists using Drag & Drop and various toolbars.
AD Hoc Query
Definition
A Web item that enables you to create and change queries in a Web application on an ad-hoc basis.
Use
You can use the Ad-hoc Query Designer Web item in the Web Application Designer to structure Web applications in which you create or change queries. The Web item is as a tool for designing ad-hoc queries in a Web environment.
In particular it enables you to:
·        Create queries by assigning characteristics from an InfoProvider to rows, columns, filters, and free characteristics, and including key figures from the InfoProvider in the key figure structure of the query.
·        Restrict or filter key figures and characteristics
·        Use predefined key figure structures and restricted or calculated key figures in the query
·        Set or change query properties and key figure/characteristic properties in the query
·        Create or change conditions and exceptions
When compared with the BEx Query Designer, the Ad-hoc Query Designer Web item has the following restrictions when creating or changing queries:
·        You cannot integrate variables into the query directly.
However, you can use variables in reusable structures, or restricted or calculate key figures, which are used in the Ad-hoc Query Designer
·        The query can contain only one structure. This structure has to be the key figure structure and be in the rows or columns of the query.
-        You cannot use key figures or key figure structures in the filter.
-        You cannot define exception cells, since this requires two structures.
You cannot create the following objects using the Ad-hoc Query Designer Web item:
-         Reusable structures
-         Reusable restricted key figures
-         Reusable calculated key figures
-        Local calculated key figures
You can create local, restricted key figures using the Ad-hoc Query Designer Web item.
You can edit existing queries in the Ad-hoc Query Designer Web item, if the queries adhere to the restrictions laid out above The Ad-hoc Query Designer checks these requirements when loading a query. If the query is too complex, the query can be loaded into the Ad-hoc Query Designer but you cannot change it there. You then receive the appropriate message. You can still check and execute the query.
"Ad Hoc" is a Latin phrase which means "for this purpose" and in today's parlance generally means "on the fly," or "spontaneously."
An ad hoc query is a query that is run at the spur of the moment, and generally is never saved to run again. These queries are run using a SQL statement created by a tool or an administrator. So therefore, such a query is one that might suit a situation which is only there for the moment and later on will become irrelevant.
As queries become more complex, it can be difficult to write them correctly ad-hoc. To help with this, one can instead write the knowledge needed for queries as business rules in English, and then use a system called "Internet Business Logic" to automatically generate and run the SQL queries. One can then get explanations of the results, in English, at the business level.

How to disable Wizard in Ad-hoc Query Designer

Hi everybody,
I am using the Bex Ad-hoc Query Designer in a web application. The users should be able to define their own queries, but just for one info provider. I selected the info provider in the properties of the ad-hoc query designer in the web template.
Now the users are able to create queries for all info providers with the wizard.
Is it possible to disable the wizard or to disable all buttons at the top of the ad-hoc query designer.
Thanks in advance,
Joerg

How to make a custom field as text as well as value fied in ad hoc query

hi,
i have created a custom infotype 9004 in which the custom field contain the code values, and the text of this code values are maintained in another ztable.
when i am viewing this infotype in Ad hoc query i am able to see this fields as only value fields and hence i am unable to get text for this field i.e when we right click on this field only the value option is enabled and the text option is disabled, both these options are enabled in some other standard fields like pernr(personnel no), persg(employee group),persk(employee subgroup).
can anybody suggest me how to enable both these options for custom fields.

Assign you table of text as a table text to the data element/domain of your custom field or thru external key on your infotype.
Query is able to analyse these links.

Help in Ad-hoc query and Hr form editor

Hi,
HR Ad Hoc Query is the special version of InfoSet Query with the HR object selection.
You can find the system documentation here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/f9/cc9138e4a0341fe10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
However I doubt the use of documentation of the query generator. So what is your concrete question?
Or in any R/3 via application help of transaction SQ01.
Also HR580 is a good course.

SAP Query vs. Ad-Hoc Query

Hi guys,
Can anyone explain to a newbie like me
1. what's the difference between SAP query and Ad-hoc query?
2. Can we link all SAP Queries to tcode and thus access SAP QUeries via Tcode?
3. Ad-hoc query is unlike SAP query as in it cannot be accessed via Tcode, correct?
4. Seems to me SAP query works similarly to custom abap queries. Thus, y don't we just used custom abap queries instead?
5. Are the selection screens for all SAP queries the same? Cause I accessed 3 SAP Queries, and all their selection screen are exactly the same with fields like Object ID, Evaluation Path...

Transaction Code to AD Hoc Query

I have created an Ad Hoc Query and Given it a name and saved it.
Next Time when I wanted to execute that query I go to S_PH0_48000510 - Ad Hoc Query , select that query and press on Output to get the result. In between I have selected the setting "Start via selection screen" in Extras>Settings.
Hence I get into the selection screen and while I execute, I go to the output result.
What I am looking for is how to assign a transaction code to this query that I have created, so that I execute that transaction code I am directly into the selection screen. By means of this I can skip some of the steps like going to S_PH0_48000510 - Ad Hoc Query and then selecting the query and then the other steps.

Both the ad-hoc and the SQ01 queries create a program that can be assigned to a transaction. However, the program name that is generated contains a 2 digit code that is specific to the client you are working on. This makes it hard to run the same transaction in DEV, QAS, and PRD. Instead, create a parameter transaction that runs the START_REPORT transaction with parameters set that run the D_SREPOVARI-REPORTTYPE=AQ, D_SREPOVARI-EXTDREPORT=<sap query name in SQ01>, D_SREPOVARI-REPORT=<user groups belonging to the query>

Expand the Ad-Hoc Query

Dear all,
Can anyone tell me the steps in detail on how to add extra infotypes (which is not in the standard selection area, of course) in the ad-hoc query selection area? In my case, I need to search an employee's personnel number by alternative name in local characters (IT0182) of the employee.
Thanks,
Steven

Hi Steven,
While creating Adhoc query choose Logical databse instead of a database table.
then you get a pop up to select the Infotypes. there you can select the multiple info types.

Kumar.

Advanced Ad-Hoc Query and formulas

Hi experts,
I need to track new hire HR data on a report but am struggling to do this without some excel style formulas...
Can you use excel style formulas in Ad-hoc query?? E.g. today(). I have run some tests and don't think it is possible...
So if the hire date is less than 2 months old (from a calendar perspecitve) then I would want the new hire to show with only their current employee data (i.e. reporting period of 'today').
Does anyone have any ideas of how I can do it or will this require some ABAP to work properly??
Thanks!

Hi,
You can use SQ01, which is actually an enhanced Ad Hoc, but without using ABAP programming. All Ad Hoc Queries are available via SQ01, but if you make certain entries SQ01 reports are not accessible via PQAH.
For your request to bring in data only on new hires within a certain period, you can first create the output you want in Ad Hoc. Also add the selection fields for Action Type (enter the type for New Hire) and Start Date of the IT0000. Save your query. Now access the report via SQ01 entering the User Group and scrolling down to find your report. Execute the report (green check with clock). This will bring up a selection screen with your entries from Ad Hoc. Select the "Save" button. This will bring in a screen for you to name the selection varient. Name it "STANDARD". Below this you will see all the selection fileds available with a number of boxes. Scroll down to the field for your Start Date and under the "Selection Variable" column select "D-Dynamic date calculation". Then in the far right column (Name of variable) select "Current date +/- days". Enter the number of days you want to go back - say "-30" for new hires in the past month. Then save the variable.
Now when you run the report (via SQ01) you will automatically select those individuals with a start date within the past 30 days. No programming needed.
