Can't create variable

Hi experts,
In our Bex query designer, I am not able to create any variables. There are some existing variables there in the query but I just can't seem to modify them either (we took over the project from another company). Does it have anything to do with query locking?
I have S_ALL och reporting profiles so I should have enough authorization for this.
Any help is appreciated.
regards,
Yoon

Hi Martien,
We use APO 3.1/BW2.1C and I think you're probably right. The Bex we have on the other hand is 3.5. So when right-clicking on a characteristic as you mentioned, I get only 'Refresh' and I don't have the New Variable option at all in the query designer.
I can't find anything in RSA1 that could be used for creating/maintaining variable. You have any idea?
Some old SAP documents mention about creating variable via Business Explorer ® Maintain Variables. But I can't find this link at all, neither in AWB nor in Bex.
regards,
Yoon

Can I create "variable array"?

Is it possible to create an array of variables? Eg. if I have to 10 boolean control, called Switch1, Switch2... Switch10, and I need to switch one of them to ON, but which one to switch on depends on different situation. Say, at situation A, I need to switch on Switch3, then at situation B, I need to switch on Switch5, etc. Can I write just one command, with the switch number as the input, so that it can switch on different boolean control (Switch#) at different time? (i.e. treating the variables Switch1 to Switch10 as an array of variables called Switch#).
BTW, this question was asked by another LabView user in 2000, but there hasn't been a satisfactory anwer.

I can think of one way off the top of my head, but it suffers from some fundamental flaws, and I'm not entirely familiar with the functions involved, so it may not work!
The solution:
It is possible to open a reference (using the Open VI Reference) to the VI being run. From there, it is possible to obtain a reference to all of the controls on the front panel using property nodes. Using these references, it should be possible to set the properties of the controls.
The flaws: It's complex, it's large overhead, and it's virtually impossible to maintain.
I've run into the same problem before with controls embedded in tab controls, since buttons on two different tabs cannot belong to the same cluster or array. I have yet to see a solutio
n that I like.
Perhaps someone else out there has seen a good solution for this one? Or maybe NI will bite the bullet and implement heterogeneous arrays and "virtual" clusters (clusters who's front panel objects are not spatially associated
Sorry I can't help more.

How to create variable in BEx on a Nav Attribute?

Hi All,
We are creating a report on Master data object 0MILESTONE. 0PROJECT is the navigational attribute of 0milestone.
and ZSTATUS is the navigational attribute of 0PROJECT.
Requirement is to create variable on ZSTATUS in BEx. How do I do that? I dont see option of creating variable on Nav attribute of a Nav attribute.
Regards,
Bob

Hi,
There is nothing as such creating variable for navigation attribute. You can only create variable directly on particular infoobject.
In your case you are using transitivie attributes. So they can not be accesed directly in BEX query. You can only use 1st level nagivation attributes in bex query.

How to create variables at runtime

Hi,
I need to know how can i create variables at runtime.
or is their anything like array that we create in 'C' if yes . how can i define its size at runtime.
Thanks,
Dev.

In forms, either record groups or pl/sql tables of records give similar functionality to an array. You have full programatic control of either but with completely different syntax. Record groups integrate well with certain forms built-ins and features (eg LOVs and Tree items). PL/sql tables integrate well with other pl/sql such as stored procedures. Unlike an array, a pl/sql table may be SPARSE (index numbers need not be sequential), and UNBOUNDED (no need to declare the number of rows).

Similarly you can create text variable in the desription area, formula variable while creating formula and Hierarchy variable in Hierarchy (Property of Char).
You can also create variables in Condition and Exception but mostly they will be a part of Char variables,
please be clear what are you talking about,then i can help u better.

Create variable in TVARC

Hi all,
How can we create variable in tvarc table to maintain variant to be used in shipment consolidation simulation
Thanks.
Moderator message: please do more research before asking.
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Mar 29, 2011 4:18 PM

Yes.
DATA lp_data TYPE REF TO DATA.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <FS>.
CONSTANTS c_type TYPE c LENGTH 1 VALUE 'F'.
CREATE DATA lp_data TYPE (c_type).
ASSIGN lp_data->* TO <FS>.
The field symbol is now a floating point variable. You can have any type, and also construct your own types dynamically, using the RTTS (search for info).
You can also create internal tables dynamically by building on these techniques.

Can i Create Output Variable for DB Polling in BPEL 11g?

Hi Team,
I want to create the Output Variable for DB Polling,But when i double click on Reply Activity-->Create New Variable it is giving error message like "Can't Create output variable.The Selected operation doesn't have an Output Message".
My Question is Can we create Output Variable for DB Polling, if Yes tell me the procedure to create the Output variable ?
Regards,
Kiran

Hi Kiran,
In these scenario generally runtime faults occurs so you can use the CatchAll activity and rethrow activity to complete the instance in error state. Also before the completion of the process if exception occurs you can rollback all the transaction.
or
you can use the Fault handling framework:

How can I create a variable size array?

How can I create a variable size array?

ok then how can i create a new vector object?If you don't know that, you need to go back to your text book and study some more. Or read the tutorial on the basics of Java: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/index.html
After reading that you can move on to: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/collections/index.html
Anyway, the answer to your question is, of course:
Vector v = new Vector();(But you should probably use ArrayList instead of Vector.)

Can we create range variable for Query Key Date

Hello Gurus,
Can we create a range variable for Query Key Date ? when I tried to give a range of values for Query Key Date, I am unable to find Range Values option. I found only Single Values.
so, Please let me know if we can use Range variables for Query Key Date ??
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Aarthi

Hi Aarthi,
This is relevant for the time dependant master data that is being pulled in thw query. Like if you are using a nav attr in the query and this nav attr is time dependant, then which record (from the char master data) is to be pulled into the report, depends upon the key date that you specify.
The default key date value is the date on which the query is executed, that is <Today>.
Hope this helps...

Can we create system variables in abap

can we create or modify the system variable in abap

Hi praveen,
1. We cannot create new system variable.
Bcos who will fill data in that variable ?
The system will not.
2. For Modification,
EVEN if we try to modify any system variable,
eg.
THEN, IT will GET BACK TO ORIGINAL,
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE EXECUTION
of any NEXT abap statement.
For some variables, it will not allow to change,
in the program it self.
for some we can change.
4. to get a taste of it, just copy paste.
5.
REPORT ABC.
*------- gets changed
sy-datum = '99991231'.
*----- this line will give error
sy-repid = 'ab'.
write sy-datum.
write sy-repid.
SY-DATUM = '20063112'.

Creating variables in Report Painter

Hi ...

Also, I would like to I have a requirement for a report whereby the format is like this .....
SALES CURR MONTH (06/2006) LAST YEAR
- Sales IT
- Sales 1

COS
- cos 1
- cos 2
- cos 3
GROSS PROFIT
Whereby, SALES = sales it + sales 1 + sales 2, COGS = cogs 1+cogs 2 + cogs 3, COS = cos 1+ cos 2+ cos 3. also GROSS PROFIT = SALES + COGS + COS
The abpve report is inclusive of Cost Centre and Profit Centre, how acn I utilize the libraray in Report Pianter to create such report, is this possible in Report Painter whereby including Cost center and Profit Centre in one single report
Pls assist me
Nathan

When you create your variable first enter the variable name. Second enter the reporting "table" to use. Third enter the "field'. Press enter. Next enter a default value for your field. Save you variable. It is now ready to use in your report painter.
Using the PCA reporting tables gives you the profit center but not the cost center. You can only use one reporting table per report. you will need a cctr report for that.
First create your own libray from GLPCT. Next create your report using your new library. The report painter can do the calculations that you have shown.
You create a formula in the row or column to calculate your sub totals.
pls assign points if helpful as a way to say thanks.
