Comparing two data records of same IDOC

Hi,
In PI, we need to compare two data records of same IDOC to figure out if what type change occurred. For example, BENFIT3 IDOC contains data records tilted "E1BEN04". When there are multiple "E1BEN04" data records, then we need to compare the data inside them to see whether name, or data of birth or SSN is changed.
Has anybody came across this before. Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks
-Teja

If it is very few fields then you could use graphical mapping to determine the changes.

Compare two dates in a report

Hi,
I would like to compare two dates on a report.
I would like to compare the opportunity created date and the opportunity modified date. I can't use this formula CASE WHEN Opportunity."Last Modified" = Opportunity."Created Date" then 1 else 0
I think I have to use TIMESTAMPDIFF but I don't know which interval I have to put to analyze the entire date in this format 31/12/1999 16:49:08
Thanks a lot for your help
Regards,

Hi !
It depends on the interval you need to compare these dates. If you want to know the number of days between these dates, you'll have to use SQL_TSI_DAY as interval. If it's minutes, you'll need SQL_TSI_MINUTE...
Here are the possible intervals :
*SQL_TSI_SECOND, SQL_TSI_MINUTE, SQL_TSI_HOUR, SQL_TSI_DAY, SQL_TSI_WEEK, SQL_TSI_MONTH, SQL_TSI_QUARTER, or
SQL_TSI_YEAR*
Hope this will help, feel free to ask more !

Compare two dates in different format.

Hi
I want to compare two dates....one of which is in the timeStamp format ("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")
and the other is in java.util.Date i.e Tue Oct 11 10:22:47 GMT+05:30 2005
Do I have to tokenise and then compare them.Is there any better approach?
I want to find out which is greater/smaller one.
Pls help.
Regards,
Sandip.

I would convert both to Date and compare them. To convert String to Date check java.text.SimpleDateFormat and its parse(...) method.

Comparing two dates and adding days to date

Hi,
I want to compare two dates(like 2006/10/21 and 2006/11/2),how can i compare these two dates,like which is greater.And if to the second date,i want to add some number of days like 10 days,how can i add so that the date becomes 2006/11/12).
Please reply soon.Thanks

No,all other queries are different,as they have the
date in this format
'2006-03-06 " but i have the date in this format
"2006-03-06 10:26:46.0",
i.e the time is also assciated with it.
If I have only the date(in string format or date
date format 2000/12/1),then I can easily do it,but
I have the time also.If I have the date only,then I
can split the date into three strings,and after
converting into integer I can pass it to the
constructor,but what about the time?SimpleDateFormat can parse "2006-03-06 10:26:46.0" date too:
           SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss.SS");
           Date date = dateFormat.parse("2006-03-06 10:26:46.0");
           System.out.println("date = " +date);

Compare two dates with NULL in one

I am trying to do the following with a simple SQL. Compare two dates and get the latest one, but the greatest() function always returns NULL if NULL is present. So how can I do it ?
Date1 Date2 Desired Result
Null 01-Dec-09 01-Dec-09
01-May-09 01-Mar-09 01-May-09
01-May-09 NULL 01-May-09
01-May-09 01-Nov-09 01-Nov-09
NULL NULL NULL
Any suggestion ? Thanks

Hi,
Try this,
create table test1
fdate date,
tdate date
insert into test1 values (null,'25-jan-2010');
select greatest(nvl(fdate,tdate),nvl(tdate,fdate)) greatest from test1;
Thanks&Regards,

Comparing two dates in a report

Hello,
I am attempting to compare two dates in a report in order to format a column. My code for that portion of the report is as follows:
CASE
   WHEN TO_DATE(DATE_DUE,'DD-MON-YYYY') -
        TO_DATE(sysdate,'DD-MON-YYYY') <= 5 THEN
          '<span class="due">'||DATE_DUE||'</span>'
   ELSE
      DATE_DUE
END AS DATE_DUE,I'm getting the error message ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected CHAR got DATE.
I've been trying to fix the condition to get rid of the error with no success.
Thanks
-Brian

One thing I just noticed that may or may not be the problem is that your case statement is returning two different datatypes depending on the condition. In one part, it is returning a character string of the span tags concatenated with the due_date (which in and of itself are incompatible datatypes) and the second part is returning just a date.
Again, not sure if the SQL engine will do automatic conversions for you, but this seems to jive with your "char vs. date" error.

Comparing two dates+times [bash]

To compare two dates+times* in bash I have always used date +%s and compared the resulting strings. Is there a better way to do it? Thanks.
* As in "is date+time Y after date+time X?"

Years ago I wrote a bash script to build a thumbnail gallery webpage for a local directory structure of torrents. For each torrent, it created the thumbnail of an image with the same name, scraped torrents to get seeders/leechers, parsed a text file of urls and added links below the image with special favicons for commonly linked sites.
That was a hassle, and I have been afraid to look at the script since I stopped using it. But the page it produced was pretty sweet.
Most of the scripts I write are a bit more down-to-earth than that though.

Duplicate records found while loading master data(very urgent)

Hi all,
One infopackage in the process chain failed while laoding the master data(full update).Its showing the following error-->duplicate record found ..1 record used in /BI0/PTCTQUERY and the same record occured in /BI0/PTCTQUERY tables.
can anyone give me the solution...its very urgent...
Thanks & Regards,
Manjula

Hi
You can see the check box in the Processing tab page. Make a tick mark for the check box Ignore Duplicate Data Records indicator . When multiple data records that have the same key are transferred, the last data record in the request is updated to BI. Any other data records in the request with the same key are ignored.
Help says that:
To maintain consistency, ignoring duplicate data records is only possible if the data is updated serially. A serial update is when data is first updated into the PSA then, after it has been successfully written to the PSA, it is updated into the master data or text tables of the InfoObject.
If a DataSource transfers potentially duplicate data records or if you manually set the Ignore Duplicate Data Records indicator, the PSA Only update type is automatically selected in the scheduler.
hope it clears ur doubt, otherwise let me know.

Kiran

Here is the procedure
1. Create a new smartforms
Transaction code SMARTFORMS
Create new smartforms call ZSMART
2. Define looping process for internal table
Pages and windows
First Page -> Header Window (Cursor at First Page then click Edit -> Node -> Create)
Here, you can specify your title and page numbering
&SFSY-PAGE& (Page 1) of &SFSY-FORMPAGES(Z4.0)& (Total Page)
Main windows -> TABLE -> DATA
In the Loop section, tick Internal table and fill in
ITAB1 (table in ABAP SMARTFORM calling function) INTO ITAB2
3. Define table in smartforms
Global settings :
Form interface
Variable name Type assignment Reference type
ITAB1 TYPE Table Structure
Global definitions
Variable name Type assignment Reference type
ITAB2 TYPE Table Structure
4. To display the data in the form
Make used of the Table Painter and declare the Line Type in Tabstrips Table
e.g. HD_GEN for printing header details,
IT_GEN for printing data details.
You have to specify the Line Type in your Text elements in the Tabstrips Output options.
Tick the New Line and specify the Line Type for outputting the data.
Declare your output fields in Text elements
Tabstrips - Output Options
For different fonts use this Style : IDWTCERTSTYLE
For Quantity or Amout you can used this variable &GS_ITAB-AMOUNT(12.2)&
5. Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program
REPORT ZSMARTFORM.
Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program.
Collecting all the table data in your program, and pass once to SMARTFORMS

you can check this link here you can see the steps and you can do it the same by looking at it..
http://smoschid.tripod.com/How_to_do_things_in_SAP/How_To_Build_SMARTFORMS/How_To_Build_SMARTFORMS.html
SMARTFORMS STEPS.
1. In Tcode se11 Create a structure(struct) same like the Internal table that you are going to use in your report.
2. Create Table type(t_struct) of stracture in se11.
3. In your program declare Internal table(Itab) type table of structure(struct).
4. Define work area(wa) like line of internal table.
5. Open Tcode Smartforms
6. In form Global setting , forminterface Import parameter define Internal table(Itab) like table type of stracture(t_struct).
7. In form Global setting , Global definitions , in Global data define Work area(wa) like type stracture(struct).
8. In form pages and window, create Page node by default Page1 is available.
9. In page node you can create numbers of secondary window. But in form there is only one Main window.
10. By right click on page you can create windows or Go to Edit, Node, Create.
11. After creating the window right click on window create table for displaying the data that you are passing through internal table.
12. In the table Data parameter, loop internal internal table (Itab) into work area(wa).
13. In table there are three areas Header, Main Area, Footer.
14. Right click on the Main area create table line by default line type1 is there select it.
15. Divide line into cells according to your need then for each cell create Text node.
16. In text node general attribute. Write down fields of your work area(wa) or write any thing you want to display.
17. Save form and activate it.
18. Then go to Environment, function module name, there you get the name of function module copy it.
19. In your program call the function module that you have copied from your form.
20. In your program in exporting parameter of function pass the internal table(itab).
SAP Smart Forms is introduced in SAP Basis Release 4.6C as the tool for creating and maintaining forms.
SAP Smart Forms allow you to execute simple modifications to the form and in the form logic by using simple graphical tools; in 90% of all cases, this won't include any programming effort. Thus, a power user without any programming knowledge can
configure forms with data from an SAP System for the relevant business processes.
To print a form, you need a program for data retrieval and a Smart Form that contains the entire from logic. As data retrieval and form logic are separated, you must only adapt the Smart Form if changes to the form logic are necessary. The application program passes the data via a function module interface to the Smart Form. When activating the Smart Form, the system automatically generates a function module. At runtime, the system processes this function module.
You can insert static and dynamic tables. This includes line feeds in individual table cells, triggering events for table headings and subtotals, and sorting data before output.
You can check individual nodes as well as the entire form and find any existing errors in the tree structure. The data flow analysis checks whether all fields (variables) have a defined value at the moment they are displayed.
SAP Smart Forms allow you to include graphics, which you can display either as part of the form or as background graphics. You use background graphics to copy the layout of an existing (scanned) form or to lend forms a company-specific look. During printout, you can suppress the background graphic, if desired.
SAP Smart Forms also support postage optimizing.
Also read SAP Note No. 168368 - Smart Forms: New form tool in Release 4.6C
What Transaction to start SAP Smart Forms?
Execute transaction SMARTFORMS to start SAP Smart Forms.
Key Benefits of SAP Smart Forms:
SAP Smart Forms allows you to reduce considerably the implementation costs of mySAP.com solutions since forms can be adjusted in minimum time.
You design a form using the graphical Form Painter and the graphical Table Painter. The form logic is represented by a hierarchy structure (tree structure) that consists of individual nodes, such as nodes for global settings, nodes for texts, nodes for output tables, or nodes for graphics.
To make changes, use Drag & Drop, Copy & Paste, and select different attributes.
These actions do not include writing of coding lines or using a Script language.
Using your form description maintained in the Form Builder, Smart Forms generates a function module that encapsulates layout, content and form logic. So you do not need a group of function modules to print a form, but only one.
For Web publishing, the system provides a generated XML output of the processed form.
Smart Forms provides a data stream called XML for Smart Forms (XSF) to allow the use of 3rd party printing tools. XSF passes form content from R/3 to an external product without passing any layout information about the Smart Form.
SmartForms System Fields
Within a form you can use the field string SFSY with its system fields. During form processing the system replaces these fields with the corresponding values. The field values come from the SAP System or are results of the processing.
System fields of Smart Forms
&SFSY-DATE&
Displays the date. You determine the display format in the user master record.
&SFSY-TIME&
Displays the time of day in the form HH:MM:SS.
&SFSY-PAGE&
Inserts the number of the current print page into the text. You determine the format of the page number (for example, Arabic, numeric) in the page node.
&SFSY-FORMPAGES&
Displays the total number of pages for the currently processed form. This allows you to include texts such as'Page x of y' into your output.
&SFSY-JOBPAGES&
Contains the total page number of all forms in the currently processed print request.
&SFSY-WINDOWNAME&
Contains the name of the current window (string in the Window field)
&SFSY-PAGENAME&
Contains the name of the current page (string in the Page field)
&SFSY-PAGEBREAK&
Is set to 'X' after a page break (either automatic [Page 7] or command-controlled [Page 46])
&SFSY-MAINEND&
Is set as soon as processing of the main window on the current page ends
&SFSY-EXCEPTION&
Contains the name of the raised exception. You must trigger your own exceptions, which you defined in the form interface, using the user_exception macro (syntax: user_exception <exception name >).
Example Forms Available in Standard SAP R/3
SF_EXAMPLE_01
Simple example; invoice with table output of flight booking for one customer
SF_EXAMPLE_02
Similar to SF_EXAMPLE_01 but with subtotals
SF_EXAMPLE_03
Similar to SF_EXAMPLE_02, whereby several customers are selected in the application program; the form is called for each customer and all form outputs are included in an output request
Advantages of SAP Smart Forms
SAP Smart Forms have the following advantages:
1. The adaption of forms is supported to a large extent by graphic tools for layout and logic, so that no programming knowledge is necessary (at least 90% of all adjustments). Therefore, power user forms can also make configurations for your business processes with data from an SAP system. Consultants are only required in special cases.
2. Displaying table structures (dynamic framing of texts)
3. Output of background graphics, for form design in particular the use of templates which were scanned.
4. Colored output of texts
5. User-friendly and integrated Form Painter for the graphical design of forms
6. Graphical Table Painter for drawing tables
7. Reusing Font and paragraph formats in forms (Smart Styles)
8. Data interface in XML format (XML for Smart Forms, in short XSF)
9. Form translation is supported by standard translation tools
10. Flexible reuse of text modules
11. HTML output of forms (Basis release 6.10)
12. Interactive Web forms with input fields, pushbuttons, radio buttons, etc. (Basis-Release 6.10)

SQL Loader Oracle 10g problem in upload date with time data -- Very urgent.

Hi
I am trying to upload data using SQL loader. There are three columns in the table
defined as DATE. When I tried upload a data like this '2007-02-15 15:10:20', it is not loading time part. The date stored as 02/15/2008' only. There is not time on that. I tried with many different format nothing work. Can please help me ?
I have also tried with to_date --> to_timestamp it did not work.
The application is going to be in production, I cannot change DATE to TIME STAMP. This is very urgent.
LASTWRITTEN "decode(:LASTWRITTEN,'null',Null, to_date(:LASTWRITTEN,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:Mi:SS'))",
CREATEDON "decode(:CREATEDON,'null',Null, to_date(:CREATEDON,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:Mi:SS'))",
LASTUPDATEDON(21) "decode(:LASTUPDATEDON,'null',Null, to_date(:LASTUPDATEDON(21),'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'))"

Your problem is most likely in decode - the return type in your expression will be character based on first search value ('null'), so it will be implicitly converted to character and then again implicitly converted to date by loading into date column. At some of this conversions you probably are loosing your time part. You can try instead use cast:
