Can I have a pre-calculated value in the value selection box E.g. a date value that is calculated from a function that getting current finanical year from a item.
That is, when 'Edition Parameter value' window pop up, a calculated value exists instead of a blank field.

Hello
Your friend is wrong - this functionality has never existed. Perhaps your friend is getting confused over the ability to define a fixed default value which has always been there.
Sorry about this.

Can we use OUT or IN OUT parameter mode in function?

Can we use OUT or IN OUT parameter mode in function & if YES then what's limitations?

hi,
Yes we can have OUT and IN OUT parameters for a function.
As per my knowledge there are no limitations , but as per the convention we will use OUT ,IN OUT Parameter modes for only procedures .

How can i pass calculated value to internal table

Hi
i have to pass calculated value into internal table
below field are coming from database view and i' m passing view data into iznew1
fields of iznew1
             LIFNR LIKE EKKO-LIFNR,
             EBELN LIKE EKKO-EBELN,
             VGABE LIKE EKBE-VGABE,
             EBELP LIKE EKBE-EBELP,
             BELNR LIKE EKBE-BELNR,
             MATNR LIKE EKPO-MATNR,
             TXZ01 LIKE EKPO-TXZ01,
        PS_PSP_PNR LIKE EKKN-PS_PSP_PNR,
             KOSTL LIKE EKKN-KOSTL,
             NAME1 LIKE LFA1-NAME1,
             NAME2 LIKE LFA1-NAME2,
             WERKS LIKE EKPO-WERKS,
             NETWR LIKE EKPO-NETWR,
             KNUMV LIKE EKKO-KNUMV,
             GJAHR LIKE EKBE-GJAHR,
and now i want to pass
one field ED1 which i has calculated separatly and i want to pass this value into iznew1
but error is coming that iznew1 is a table with out header line has no component like ED1.
so how can i pass calculated value to internal table iznew1,

When you declare your internal table , make an addtion occurs 0
eg . data : begin of iznew occurs 0 ,
                fields ...
   add the field here ed1.
           end of iznew.
now when you are calculating the value of ed1,
you can pass the corresponding value of ed1 and modify table iznew.
eg
loop at iznew.
iznew-ed1 = ed1.
modify iznew.
endloop.

Can I use the value range as F4 ValueHelp in WebUI?

Hi,
I have a Z-field in CustomerH. Its datatype has a domain with a fixed value range attached.
I show this field in the header of a sales order but the value help does not show up automatically.
My question is: Can I use this value range as input for the value help or do I have to code a "real" value help and attach it via the V-Getter?
Thanks.

Hi,
/people/tim.back/blog/2009/02/09/learn-how-to-create-drop-down-listboxes-in-crm-70s-web-client-ui
to fetch data, you can use table mentioned above. Pass domain name and language to get all values maintained in domain.

How can I use a Value at several different places without using a long wire?

too much wire alway make program into mess.So can I use the Value in labview like using it in C.
I have try the "Local Value",but it don't work well as a Cluster. For example, I can't connect it with "Unbundle By Name" and other Cluster Tools.

Overuse of local variables is probably worse than the "mess" created by long wires. It increases memory usage, violates data flow, and increases probability of race conditions. A better solution to long wires is to make the diagram smaller by using subVIs. There's been a lot of discussion here and in the various LabVIEW style guides about avoiding local and global variables. I use them seldom and only then when I doing some complicated user interface.

How can i use calculation from one sheet into another sheet in discoverer

I have a function which has to be used for several calcualtions in discoverer report.For each row the function is called 8 times, Is there any way that i can create a caculation based on the function in one tab and use this value returned by the function in the other tabs in the discoverer so that i can eliminte the function being called 8 times for each row.
Please help.

Hi Lloyd ,
Thanks for the reply. See below for the detail explanation of what i am Talking about.
I am Developing a Operational Expense Report based on a Custom Table.
I get the following columns from the custom Table - Account, Amount Manual, Amount Local, Amount Overseas.
Then I have two Functions which Calculates two different Ratios Based on the other Custom Table.
1st function - Qualifying Sales Ratio
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION xxwfs_avi_q_sales_ratio (p_period VARCHAR2)
RETURN NUMBER
IS
v_q_ratio NUMBER := NULL;
BEGIN
SELECT ROUND ((a.nonqualified_ar_amount / b.nq_nq_ar_amount), 4) qualifying_sales_ratio
INTO v_q_ratio
FROM (SELECT SUM(NVL(gp.total,0)) qualified_ar_amount
FROM xxwfs_gp_table gp
WHERE gp.company = 24101
AND gp.gtp_qualified = 'Q'
AND gp.org_id = 126
AND gp.gl_date >= p_from_date
ANDgp.gl_date <= p_to_period) a,
(SELECT SUM(NVL(gp.total,0)) nq_nq_ar_amount
FROM xxwfs_gp_table gp
WHERE gp.company = 24101
AND gp.gtp_qualified in( 'Q','NQ')
AND gp.org_id = 126
AND gp.gl_date >= p_from_date
ANDgp.gl_date <= p_to_period) b;
RETURN v_q_ratio;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
v_q_ratio := 0;
RETURN v_q_ratio;
END xxwfs_avi_q_sales_ratio;
2nd Function - Nonqualifying Sales Ratio
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION xxwfs_avi_nq_sales_ratio (p_period VARCHAR2)
RETURN NUMBER
IS
v_q_ratio NUMBER := NULL;
BEGIN
SELECT ROUND ((a.nonqualified_ar_amount / b.nq_nq_ar_amount), 4) nonqualifying_sales_ratio
INTO v_q_ratio
FROM (SELECT SUM(NVL(gp.total,0)) nonqualified_ar_amount
FROM xxwfs_gp_table gp
WHERE gp.company = 24101
AND gp.gtp_qualified = 'NQ'
AND gp.org_id = 126
AND gp.gl_date >= p_from_date
ANDgp.gl_date <= p_to_period) a,
(SELECT SUM(NVL(gp.total,0)) nq_nq_ar_amount
FROM xxwfs_gp_table gp
WHERE gp.company = 24101
AND gp.gtp_qualified is not null
AND gp.org_id = 126
AND gp.gl_date >= p_from_date
AND gp.gl_date <= p_to_date) b;
RETURN v_q_ratio;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
v_q_ratio := 0;
RETURN v_q_ratio;
END xxwfs_avi_nq_sales_ratio;
The report is Run based on the parameter for the Range of gl_date.
I registered these functions in discoverer and passing the parameter values to calculate the ratios. The 2 ratios are just one time calculations for the range of gl_date the report is run.
The i mulitiply Qualifying Sales Ratio with the columns Amount Manual, Amount Local and Amount Overseas to get Qualifyied Amount Manual, Qualified Amount Local , Qualifyied Amount Overseas and the Nonqualifing Sales Ratio with the same Amount Manual, Amount Local and Amount Overseas columns to get NonQualifyied Amount Manual, NonQualified Amount Local , NonQualifyied Amount Overseas.
This is the design i am approching now. For each record the function is called 8 times to calculates the qualifying and Non qualifying Sales ratios Ato caculate the other 6 columns based on these Ratio Calculations.
So i was thinking if there is any way that i can get the Ratios for a specific date range in the First tab and usethe Value of the ratios in the other tab so that the function call is minimized.
Waiting for your replies.

Can I use the value returned from a Text Function in another Formula?

I'm writing a report in Hyperion System 9 BI + Financial Reporting Studio version 9.2. I have 2 grids in my report.
Grid1 Column A is set up as a text function using the function type - <<GetCell("Grid2", 1, a, 1)>>. I would like to use the values returned from this text function in Column A (Grid 1) in a formula in Column B (Grid 1).
Is it possible to use the values returned in Column A of the text function in another formula? My report does not seem to recognize Column A as numerical values, even though the values to be returned are numerical.
If so, how do I recognize the values in Column A Grid 1 as numerical values and not text?
Thanks for any help you can offer!

Hi Edson,
Yes you need to use the CALC_ERROR macro function to be able to test whether the last macro function returned an error. CALC_ERROR will return an 'X' if there an error occured during the execution of the last macro function.
You can use a macro similar to the following:
IF
CALC_ERROR( )
= 'X'
      DO SOMETHING HERE
ENDIF
Let me explain how this works internally. The SAP system maintains a global variable g_flg_calc_error during the execution of macros in the planning book. The g_flg_calc_error variable will contain the value of f_calc_error that was set by the last macro function which executed. The ABAP coding of a planning book is something like this:
data: g_flg_calc_error type /SAPAPO/FLAG.
* SAP will pass g_flg_calc_error variable to all macro
* functions. When SAP calls a macro function, it does
* something like this.
call function '/SAPAPO/MACRO_FUNCTION_HERE'
        exporting
          plob_values      = i_s_adv_plob_values
          sdp_book         = g_c_advf_sdp_book
          sdp_view         = g_c_advf_sdp_view
        tables
          cols_index       = i_t_cols
          value_tab        = l_t_value_tab
        changing
          f_calc_error     = g_flg_calc_error
As you can see, the g_flg_calc_error variable
is passed in the "changing" part of the call. The macro function being called can then use the f_calc_error
variable to change the value of the global
g_flg_calc_error variable. In fact, the macro function being called can also check (by looking at the f_calc_error variable) if the last macro function reported an error. The CALC_ERROR macro function just checks the value of f_calc_error parameter (w/c in fact is the value of the g_flg_calc_error variable) and returns "true/X" if the f_calc_error was set to true by the last macro function.
Hope this helps in clearing things out

How can I use the value returned for a function into the macro ??

I create a function to work in a macro and I would like to use the value of parameter f_calc_error returned by function in a condition like IF, but I don't know how can I do that. I have to use the macro function CALC_ERROR ??
Thanks.

Can you use the value from a numeric indicator in a numeric control?

Hi!
I have to develop a code where I have to find the maximum value of a waveform and draw a line at 50% of the value. So I chose to find the amplitude of say 10 cycles of waveforms and found the maximum value out of the amplitudes.
But my real problem is, I have to use the maximum amplitude value that I get from the max. array VI and put it back in program to calculate the 50% value.
So is it possible to use the value from a numeric indicator and put it in a numeric control? Like in MATLAB or C, you give the variable a name and use it later to do any computations. Is it possible to do something similar in LabVIEW?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi!
Thank you very much for taking some time out. I have been trying to do this since 2 months and I am stuck right where I am.
The situation is, I have to calculate the amplitude of the irregular waveform for a few trials and then find the maximum amplitude out of the trials and display a line at whatever % of amplitude the user chooses. I tried using property nodes but I am getting Error 1055 for some unknown reason. Then I decided to draw the line using DC offset but it turns out it calculates the amplitude each time and so the line keeps dancing everytime. Now my challenge is to have the amplitude calculated for say, 20 loops and then calculate the max from that. I ran out of ideas so I am posting here. I am using LabVIEW version 8, and I'll upload a few of my attempts. I hope I am not troubling you'll much.

Can I use MD5 value for indexing files ?

I would like to know if MD5 value for each unqiue file is also unique. I am wonder if U can use MD5 value of a file for indexing. Any suggestion ??

I would like to know if MD5 value for each unqiue file
is also unique.No, since the number of MD5 hashes is less than the number of possible files. Of course, if you don't have many files the probability of clashes is pretty low. There's some theory about this which you'll find in algorithms textbooks where they talk about hash tables.
I am wonder if U can use MD5 value of
a file for indexing. Any suggestion ??Why? Don't you want your index to tell you something about the contents of the file?

How can we use C# to read dynamic parameter's value list from .rpt?

I'm using Cystal Report 2008. We know starting from CR XI we can create dynamic parameters, the list of items of this kind of parameter are fetching from database. So in general the SQLs to get the list of values for dynamic parameters are stored in the .rpt.
In Crystal Report Designer, if I preview a report with dynamic parameters, it will first query the database and then show the input dialog with list of values from database for user to choose. My question is can we implement the same thing by our C# code? I'm planning to use C# code to read this dynamic parameter's value list from .rpt and render them on the web page. Then pass back the user selected values to the .rpt to run the report after user make the choice. I didn't find any APIs can do this. Is it possible?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi,
Can you explain a bit in detail, I have similar scenario. I am using the following code but not getting the Column name for dynamic parameter list.
foreach (ParameterFieldDefinition prm
                          in reportDocument.DataDefinition.ParameterFields)
                try
                    string vParameterFieldName;
                    *vParameterFieldName = prm.ParameterFieldName.ToString();*

JPA - How can I use the table's default Date types? e.g. CURRENT_TIME

Once again, can't find an answer anwhere.
I would like to know if/how one can use the default date/time/datetime types as declared for the target table when attempting to persist an entity having these fields set as null.
create table item
     item_id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT AUTOINCREMENT,
     date_created DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW(*),
     date_updated DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW(*),
);Now how can I get the above table to work when attempting to em.persist(myItem) whereby dateCreated and dateUpdated are both null?

I should also mention that TopLink has always supported the ability to retrieve the current time from the database for use in optimistic locking. The TimestampLockingPolicy offers the ability to configure the next value being retrieved from the database instead of using the local time from the JVM. Our extended optimistic locking configuration does not currently support setting this option but it could be done using a descriptor customizer which can be configured in your persistence unit properties.
Using optimistic locking may be a good solution for the last modified date since it will also ensure that you do not corrupt the database if someone else has incremented this value since your last read.
