BEx Questions

Question

Hello Everyone,
I have few questions related to BEx .
1. Can we use a function module in BEx so that ABAP code can be called while executing Bex query/report in BEx Analyzer.
2. Can someone tell me how to use multiple structures / variables in query based on conditions.
3. Could someone tell me how to invoke/refresh a macro in BEx automatically on executing a query in BEx Analyzer.
Thanks.

Hi here a short description for virtual key figure or characteristics and own variables (what Klaus means):
1. Virtual Characteristics and Virtual Key figures
- A virtual characteristic / key figure is an object of the InfoCube. The values are derived at query run time.
- Examples:
The SalesRep is derived from Product and Customer. This assignment changes frequently. Therefore the value for the characteristic SalesRep can not be stored in the Cube.
You want to calculate with key figure-type attributes of an InfoObject. E.g. Price is an attribute of Product. Sold-quantity is an object of the InfoCube. You want to see the revenue (Sold-quantity * Price) in your query.
You have an "Open-order-InfoCube". One InfoObject is the Orderdate. You need a list with the number of days btw. the orderdate and today.
How to program a corresonding Include:
1. You must firstly define the characteristics, or key figures within the InfoCube
2. Call up transaction CMOD in the Admin. Workbench
Create a Project
3. Select Enhancement Components
4. Select Enhancement RSR00002
5. Double-click on Exit EXIT_SAPMRSRU_001
6. Double-click on include ZXRSRU02 within the Exit
7. Display or change coding
8. Maintain include ZXRSRTOP
9. Maintain include ZXRSRZZZ
10. Don't forget to activate the Project
Interface Importing/Exporting:
IMPORTING:
I_S_RKB1D -> Information about Reporting-Object; here Query (Queryname, InfoCube, ...)
EXPORTING:
E_T_CHANM -> Table with the name of the virtual characteristics
E_T_KYFNM -> Table with the name of the virtual key figures
Remarks:
- You should note that the data records transferred can be on a different aggregation level depending on read procedure and drilldown.
- Moreover, compound information is not automatically changed with compounded characteristics after changing a higher-level characteristic. In addition, the compound characteristic must also be defined in the mode RRKE_C_MODE-NO_SELECTION.
- Furthermore, the fiscal year (0FISCYEAR), the fiscal year period (0FISCPER) and the fiscal year variant (0FISCVARNT) cannot be read or changed in the enhancement. (*)
- Enhancement 999 may not be changed. Calling up serves to update information via the structure C_S_DATA. This functionality is completely taken over by form USER_INIT_GLOBALS.
2. User Exit for variables:
-Enhancement: RSR00001
- The component for the enhancement is the function module EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001.
How to program a corresponding Include:
- Create variable with corresponding type for User Exit
- Call up transaction CMOD in the Admin. Workbench
- Create a Project
- Select Enhancement Components
- Select Enhancement RSR00001
- Double-click on Exit EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001
- Double-click on include ZXRSRU01 within the Exit
- Add or change coding
- Don't forget to activate the Project
- Use the variable in a query
Interface - Importing:
I_VNAM     --> Name of the Variable; without &-signs
I_VARTYP -->
1: Characteristic Value
2: Hierarchy node(s)
3: Text
4: Formula
5: Hierarchy
I_IOBJNM --> Name of the InfoObject
I_S_COB_PRO --> Information about InfoObject(Dataelement, CheckTable, Length, Number of Decimals, ...)
I_S_RKB1D --> Information about Reporting-Object; here Query (Queryname, InfoCube, ...)
I_PERIV --> Fiscal year variant
I_T_VAR_RANGE --> Table with all Variables and their values
I_STEP     
1: Before Variable Pop up
2: After Variable Pop up
E_T_RANGE --> Table to return the values
fields: low, high, sign, opt     
E_MEEHT     --> Unit of measure
E_MEFAC     --> Number of Decimals for Unit
E_WAERS     --> Currency Code
E_WHFAC     --> Number of Decimals for Currency Value
You can do many amazing things in BW. Well if you like you can use also ABAP in TableInterface for Web or JavaScript in Web. VBA in BEx Analyzer and many more interesting things. Just surf to http://hel.sap.com and find out!
