BPS: Setting empty Selections in Variables

Im Using Variables for the Selections of my Planninglevel. These Variables are filled by a User Exit.
What do I have to do when I want to Leave the selections for a Variabel empty?
By not using a Variable I would Type in # in the Slections of my Planninglevel, but how can I set it via ABAP-Coding.

Hello Tobias,
in BPS there's a difference between an empty selection (= all values) and # (= unassigned value only).
If you want to set the exit variable to all values then return one range entry in eto_charsel (for example: I, BT, "0000", "9999"). If you need the unassigned value only then return an entry with I,EQ and leave low and high empty.

Setting empty Selections in Variables

When setting a user-exit variable to initial for unassigned values, the variable value in the planning level displays the '#'. When entering data for this selection in a layout and saving it, everything looks fine. The data records are written to the cube and can be verified using list cube. However, when exiting the layout and returning the newly created records do not show up. If I take the variable out of the selection on the package and open the layout I can see the values. I've tried everything I can think of as far as assigning values to the variable to represent unassigned. I've tried the # sign, clearing the values, and assigning space but this behavior persists. Does anyone have any ideas on this problem.
thanks,

Hi,
Thanks for your message. I have found the reason of my problem.
We use 0SOURSYSTEM as a primary key of all the characteristics (compounding). We have 2 source systems. In the SID tables, SAP has got three entries for the initial values of my characteristic 0NETWORK.
0SOURSYSTEM      NETWORK
0                             0
R1                           0
F1                           0
When I inserted the 0NETWORK to my cube, SAP grabbed its first index 0/0, and I was expecting having the second R1/0.
So the combination does not match when I execute a layout.
I'll now use Remodeling to remove 0NETWORK and put it back with the value R1/0.
Thanks

Select Lists - Setting and Referencing (Using) the Select List variable

I have (a login page and) 3 application pages (call them Day, Week, Month), each with similar selection lists and a chart. I have three requirements.
1) When a new selection is made, the value of the selection list variable is updated --that is, it does what select lists do.
2) I need to set the value of the Month selection list variable before the Month page is rendered for the first time -- I need to give it an initial value.
3) When navigating from page to page, say from Month to Week or Day back to Month, I need to have the value of the selection list variable carried to the new page from the value on the previous page.
It sounds simple to me -- something that one could do with an (global) application item. The logic would be like
IF :Page_Name_Flag = 'Week' THEN -- staying on the Week page
SELECT :WK_SelectList_Name INTO :GLOBAL_SelectList_Name FROM DUAL
ELSE -- new pass on this page
SELECT :GLOBAL_SelectList_Name INTO :WK_SelectList_Name FROM DUAL
SELECT 'Week' INTO :Page_Name_Flag
END IF;But that doesn't work for me. The page's select list variable seems to be NULL sometimes causing the value of :GLOBAL_SelectList_Name to be set to null. Other times, the copy from the global variable to page select list varable doesn't seem to change the page select list variable.
At http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=43250:101 (guest/Ima9Gue8t) is an example where I have each page's select list working (except on the initial visit to the page, where the select variable is null!!!). How can I get the select list value on the new page to sync with the value from the previous page?
Thanks,
Howard

I'm closing this because I got it to work. In the end, it worked as I had described above. There was some setting of the Select List variable, that I now have correct, that was incorrect before. I wonder what it was?

Accessing WS data set during selection screen processing in BG processing

Hello ABAPers,
I am attempting to access a working storage table variable that is set during selection screen processing after the user submits the program to background processing (using F9).
I have tried using export to memory id in the at selection screen section and then import from memory id in the start-of-selection section, but it does not seem to work all of the time. Is there a better way of doing this?
Thanks

Copy from clipboard button in Select Options variable

Has anyone had success using the copy from clipboard button in the Selection Option variable when copying rows from your query results in Excel?0
My users and I can not get this to work. Is there a setting or something that we are missing?
Thanks for any tips,
AJB - COT

Hi City,
The problem (I think) you are describing is caused because you are attempting to copy from the same instance of Excel. If you were able to see your workbook at the same time that you could see the variable refresh screen (in older versions of Excel and BW you could see them both), you would notice that the cut/copy mode (denoted by the "crawling ants" around the border of the selected range) is cancelled in the process of displaying the refresh screen.
The solution to this is one of the following:
1. open another instance of Excel and first copy the results to the second instance
2. copy the Excel results to another application, such as Word
Perhaps not the answer you were looking for, but it works.

Select instance variable

When I create a screenflow, in the pop window of selecting instance variable, it includes many variable (such as: participant, status ...) and the one I created. The tutorial let me set the in and out value to No.
When should I set some of them to Yes?

Declare, Set, and Use a variable in a SQL Developer Query

I come from the SQL Server world and am trying to do something very simple: Declare, set, and use a variable in a query. For example:
Declare @lastPeriod date;
Set @lastPeriod = (select max(payperiod) from table 1 where payperiod < current_date);
Select field 1,
Field2
From table2
Where payperiod = @lastPeriod
The variable is going to be used in more areas in the query which is why I am simply not using a Sub-query in the where clause. I appreciate any assistance.

This forum is for issues with the SQL Developer tool. You'd get more response in the SQL And PL/SQL forum.
That said, read up on bind variables and substitution variables.
Whenever you can you should use Bind variables (e.g. *:lastPeriod* ), as they increase performance. In sqldev, there's no need to declare as you will be prompted to enter them on execution (F9), but you do if you execute as script (F5) (e.g. VARIABLE lastPeriod VARCHAR2(30);).
Alternatively, Substitution variables (e.g. *&lastPeriod* ) will literally be substituted in your statement before the database parses it. In sqldev, there's no need to declare as you will be prompted to enter them on execution (either F9 or F5), but you can (DEF lastPeriod='TEST'; ).
Have fun,

Defining a spry data set from a url variable

I am developing a family web site that, among other things, uses a single 'recipe' page to display recipes from different xml files as called by a url variable (e.g. ?xmlFile="{url}"&recipeName="{name}") from a summary page. I can get the recipe name to reproduce using a $_GET php function, but I cannot establish the data set that way. How can I define the data set from the incoming URL variable? The necessary files are:
The starting point from which I send the selected URL variable (use the scampi recipe) http://ebogott.com/recipeBox.php.
The file that is generated is http://ebogott.com/recipe.php?XMLfile=GrilledScampiOnAngelHair.xml&recipeName=Grilled%20Sh rimp%20Scampi%20on%20Angel%20Hair%20Pasta
This methodology will allow me a number of cascading selections. I know this is not unique. I just haven't figured it out.

Unable to set the selected value for a ADF LOV

Hi,
I am developing an application using jdeveloper 10.1.3 and Struts.
I have created a ADF LOV on my JSP Page as given below:
<html:select property="lob" onchange="javascript:selectLOB(this.form)">
<html:optionsCollection label="prompt" value="index" property="lob.displayData"/>
</html:select>
When i submit the form, i am able to get the value of the selected Value in the List.
JUCtrlListBinding listBinding = (JUCtrlListBinding) formBean.get("Lob");
Row r = (Row) listBinding.getSelectedValue();
String SoLob = (String) r.getAttribute("LobLob");
But i am unable to set the selected value back in the list when i return to the form again.
I tried the following:
int x = listBinding.getSelectedIndex();
listBinding.setSelectedIndex(x);
It would be really helpful if some one could let me know what needs to be done.
Thanks,
Subashini

Gyan,
I tried with the code you suggest , its trying to set the value of a field, but my requirement is to change the property for
"Rendered" on the field so that based on search parameters we can hide result table column.
After searching online, I modified the controller code as follows
1.Created a new transient attribute (Testrender) with type "Boolean" and always updateable.
2.changed the "Rendered" property value on the field I want to hide as ${oa.PoSearchVO1.Testrender}.
3. Modified the controller code as follows :
        OAApplicationModule am = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
        OAViewObject testvo = (OAViewObject)am.findViewObject("PoSearchVO1");
        OADBTransaction txn = am.getOADBTransaction();
        if (testvo != null)
          OARow row = (OARow)testvo.first();
            if (a.equalsIgnoreCase("Approved"))
                 row.setAttribute("Testrender", Boolean.FALSE);
            else
                 row.setAttribute("Testrender", Boolean.TRUE);
        } But now when i run the page and populate the search field and click "Go" its hiding the field but throwing the following error and the search results are also bad.
Its using only the value of one search parameter but not the second one .
The search cannot be executed because the table has pending changes that would be lost. I think the vo is getting dirty when I update the transient attribute value. So I used txn.rollback ,then search is working fine but its not hiding the field.
So can you please let me know how to proceed from here ?

How i can set the selected item of a dropDown component from java code

Hi
Thank you for reading my post
How i can set the slected item of a DropDown component from backing beans java code ?
it is binded with a database , so one field determine its display and one other field determine its value , I want to set the selected item of this combobox
In back code i have both value and display values to use them .
can some one give me some help ?
Thanks ,

See code sample 3 at http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/helloweb.html
See also, the selection components row in the table under http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/helloweb.html
It says
One way to preselect items is to call setSelectedValue(Object[]) or setSelectedValue(Object) from the prerender() method. You pass in the return values of the items that you want preselected. Be sure to verify that getSelected() returns null before setting the default options, or you will overwrite the user's selections on a post-back.

Doesn't it use an external AC Adapter? If so, all you should need to use in another country is an adpater plug to match the wall socket.

Error while using selection option variable in the selection screen

Hi All,
I am facing an issue while using selection option variable in the selection screen for one of my reports.
Scenario: For the field "Region From" we need to have wild card logic () in tes selection screen, for example if we put "BE" in the selection screen for the field Region From then the query should be executed only for those "Region From" values which begin from "BE".
Approach: For the above requirement I have made a selection option variable for "Region From". This allows use wild card
But when the report is executed we get the following error:
"System error in program CL_RSR_REQUEST. Invalid filter on ETVRGNFR".
(ETVRGNFR is technical name of the info object Region From)
Though the report is executed it displays all the values for the field "Region From" irrespective of the selection given in the selection screen.
Please give suggestions / alternate solutions to crack this issue.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Priyanka.

Find text from a file and set it as a variable in applescript?

I am trying to build a script that sends me updates and notifications from cex.io. Please keep on reading below, so I may guide you until the point I have trouble with.
The first simple script in this operation goes to cex.io's trading page for BTC/GHS. It records ands saves the text to a file every 4 seconds. It works great. It doesn't need to have safari refresh because the site pushes info to the browser live.
repeat
          set the webpage_content to ""
          tell application "Safari" to set the webpage_content to the text of document 1
          set theText to webpage_content
          set a to "Macintosh HD:Users:PRIVATE:Desktop:CEX:"
          set theFile to (open for access file ((a) & "CEXRaw") with write permission)
          write theText to theFile
          close access theFile
          delay 4
end repeat
And it returns this from the site to this main file every 4 seconds: (note I cut off a chunk from the bottom and the top of the file, because they are unimportant)
    GHS:
    0.05233439
    BTC:
    0.00000223
    NMC:
    0.00002939
    LTC:
    0.00000000
    GHS/BTC
    0.02362958 LTC/BTC
    0.02438131 NMC/BTC
    0.00597565 GHS/NMC
    3.96951800 BF1/BTC
    1.67000000 Fund Account
    GHS/BTC
    Last price:
    0.02362958
    Daily change:
    -0.00018042
    Today's open:
    0.02381000
    24h volume:
    73812.35539255
I now need an applescript to read that file, and return wanted values. But I'm lost on how to write it.
It needs to find the number under BTC, and set it as a variable.
It needs to find the number under GHS, and set it as a variable.
It needs to find the number under Last Price, and set it as a variable.
If anyone could script that really quick for me, or tell me how to do it, that would be amazing. Thank you so much!

Couldn't tell if you had any whitespace in the lines (i.e. is there a space before or after GHS:), so I used contains, not is. Also, if you have a line such as GHS/BTC with a colon GHS/BTC: then it will also fail (as contains "BTC:" would be true for BTC: and GHS/BTC:)
However, this will give you some guidance:
set a to "Macintosh HD:Users:PRIVATE:Desktop:CEX:CEXRaw"
set x to 0
set Names to paragraphs of (read file a)
repeat with nextLine in Names
          set x to x + 1
          if nextLine contains "BTC:" then
                    set BTC to item (x + 1) of Names
          else if nextLine contains "GHS:" then
                    set GHS to item (x + 1) of Names
          else if nextLine contains "Last Price:" then
                    set lastPrice to item (x + 1) of Names
          end if
end repeat

Result of the query is not filtered as value given in Select Option variabl

Hello ,
A Select option Variable is created on Navigational Attribute( ZINV_PROG) of 0WBS_ELEMT.
The Compound Key for object ZINV_PROG(Investment program) is APPR_YEAR( Approval Year)
This ZINV_PROG object does not bear Master data.
The values in the field get populated as you load Master data of 0WBS_ELEMT.
The values for this objects is as shown below:
APPR_YEAR ZINVPROG
2005 ESCCCAPS
2007 ESCCCAPS
2008 FIRE
2006 CAPITAL
A select option variable is craeted on this Navigational attribute.
When you execute the query , On the selection screen of the query..
If you provide i/p for Investment programm field as 2007 ESCCCAPS, the data should ideally be filtered for this values only.
But the result of the query shows data for both values 2005 ESCCCAPS and as well as for 2007ESCCCAPS.
Let me know how to sort this issue.
Points will be assigned for the correct and helpfull answere.
Thanks,

Thanks Srini for your prompt explanation.
My Question is if Approval year is a compounded key of ZINV_PROG object why data would not get filter out directly.
I mean on the screen for this particualr variable i take help - F4 to see values there you are able to see all the values of Investment programm along with the apprroval year.
If i select value as 2005 ESCCCAPS from the help F4 screen then ideally data should be fileterd out for this particular value. But it is not happening so.
Is that so in Query desgining that if you creating a variable on Nav Attribute, and that particular Nav attribute has a compound key then if you want to filter out the data for this Nav attribute correctly you would also require to create a variable for Compound key also.
Please let me know
Thanks

"Missing parameter values." Error when setting record selection formula

Setup - VS 2008, CR 2008 (v12.0), Win XP & C#.Net
I have a form which loops through all parameters (non-linked to sub reports, so only off the main report) and allows users to enter the values for each parameter. When hitting the preview button, I loop through all of the saved values, set the parameter field values and then add any additional filters into the recordselection formula as below. The problem i'm having is that the ReportDocument.HasRecords returns true if the ReportDocument.RecordSelectionFormula doesn't filter out every result.
For example, I have a list of customers and if I set the selection formula to filter out a specific customer, ReportDocument.HasRecors returns true, if I set the selection formula to filter something that doesn't exist i.e. customer "xk39df", the moment this line of code runs "ReportDocument.RecordSelectionFormula = rsFormula;" - ReportDocument.HasRecors returns the following exception as opposed to "False".

The strange thing is, it works fine if the recordselectionformula selects a record which exists in the results - all parameters have a current value except for the linked parameters.
This one has got me stumped!

Hi,
The report has it's own ADO Datasource set in crystal reports, so I just pass the log on information to the report object before doing anything else.
this.DataSourceConnections[0].SetConnection("ServerName", "Database", "sa", "Password");
I then do a refresh before applying the parameter values (I do this because the user can preview the report more than one time by using a preview button on the parameter form without re-loading the report object)
this.Refresh();
Then I set all parameter values followed by setting the recordselection formula.
