Curreny Problem in F-53

Hello All
I Have Booked One JV as under.through F-43 Exchange Rate is 42.0325 EUR to THB.
Vendor Account Cr P.K 39 400 EUR Local Currency Amt is 16813/- ( THB )
Vendor Account Dr P.K 29 A 400 EUR Local Currency Amt is 16813/- ( THB).
Now i am going to make payment through F-53 in local currency.(THB )
When i click process on open item system shows me 16580/- instead of 16813/- i am not getting that why this amount is come.
There is one I-con which name is ''currency'' when i click that then system shows me 16813/-. i wonder from where system pick 16580/- .
When i simulate the Transaction System Show me Amount 16813/- In Local Currency and 16580/- in Document Currency.
I wonder that how i can system show me different amount for same currency
Manoj J

Your payment date might be different as this reason exchange rate aslo different, that is why system showing a different amount in F-53.
This is the normal behaviour of SAP system.
remianing difference will go to realized forex gain/loss accounts.
but you should complete your configuration in OB09.

Incorrect cost/revenue value show in cProjects

Hi all,
I'm working with cProjects and PS.
The problem is: costing value showed in cProjects is incorrect(its 10 times bigger than that value in PS), however the value showed in PS is correct.
For example:
1 engineer has cost/revenue rate : 10usd/15usd /Hour
He work 10hours for a Task
in PS (ECP, CJ40,..)we will see the cost/revenue is: 100usd/150usd
however in cProjects (Tab: Accounting) we will see the cost/revenue is: 1000/1500
Please help me to solve that problem, it's very urgent.
Thank you very much
Duc Nguyen

HI Duc,
It sounds like a curreny problem with the decimal place, would you please check the customizing item :
SAP NetWeaver -> General Settings -> Currencies -> Set Decimal Places for Currencies
Please check in BOTH systems (cProject & ERP), if there is any difference for the USD?
Kind regards,
Zhenbo

Problem working with Matrix (UI)

Hi gurus!
I've problem with Curreny Exchange Form
I try to situate in cell automatically, but only works if the cell is visible in screen. If cell is in form but needs scroll for view it, my code doesn't work.
This is my VB.NET code
        If pVal.FormTypeEx = "866" Then
            If pVal.EventType = SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_FORM_ACTIVATE Then
                If pVal.BeforeAction = False Then
                    Try
                        Dim Matriz As SAPbouiCOM.Matrix
                        Dim i As Integer
                        Matriz = SBOApp.Forms.Item(FormUID).Items.Item("4").Specific
                        For i = 0 To Matriz.Columns.Count - 1
                            Dim k As Integer
                            If Matriz.Columns.Item(i).Title = MyCurrency Then
                                Matriz.Columns.Item(i).Cells.Item(Now().Day).Click()
                            End If
                        Next
                    Catch ex As Exception
                        SBOApp.MessageBox(ex.Message)
                    End Try
                End If
            End If
        End If
Note: I tested this with FORM_LOAD event with same result
Thnx in advance
Juli

Hi Juli,
I made some modifications to your code and it works. The cell will be selected even when it's not showed in the first set of lines.
I think you can improve it by using another event. Try it with Form_load for instance.
                If pVal.FormTypeEx = "866" Then
                    If pVal.EventType = SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_FORM_ACTIVATE Then
                        Dim _MatriX As SAPbouiCOM.Matrix
                            Dim i As Integer
                        Matrix = B1Application.Forms.Item(FormUID).Items.Item("4").Specific
                        Matrix.Columns.Item("V0").Cells.Item(Now().Day).Click()
                    End If
                End If

Currency exchange rate problem when posting to CO-PA

Hi Experts,
we get error when posting a credit memo saying that there is a missing exchange rate between MXN and USD. The document currency is MXN (Mexican peso), company code currency is EUR and operating concern currency is USD. The document posts to CO-PA.
We have exchange rates for MXN/EUR and EUR/USD but not for MXN/USD.
How the system recalculates the currencies?
Do we just have to enter the MXN/USD rate or is there any other customizing we should check?
In country global parameters for Mexico in fields 'index-based currency' and 'hard currency' is entered USD. Does this matters to this problem?
Thank you,
Michal

Hi Michal,
concerning your quastion pls consider follwing:
Usually the foreign currency will be the transaction currency of the sender document in case you are dealing with
billing documents.
However it's also possible that the amount in operating concern currency is translated based on company code curreny.
In this case the PA line item will then contain the company code currency as foreign currency.
This translation logic is described in the note 429517.
I hope, it could you help to understand translation logic.
Regards, Andrea

A problem with threads

I am trying to implement some kind of a server listening for requests. The listener part of the app, is a daemon thread that listens for connections and instantiates a handling daemon thread once it gets some. However, my problem is that i must be able to kill the listening thread at the user's will (say via a sto button). I have done this via the Sun's proposed way, by testing a boolean flag in the loop, which is set to false when i wish to kill the thread. The problem with this thing is the following...
Once the thread starts excecuting, it will test the flag, find it true and enter the loop. At some point it will LOCK on the server socket waiting for connection. Unless some client actually connects, it will keep on listening indefinatelly whithought ever bothering to check for the flag again (no matter how many times you set the damn thing to false).
My question is this: Is there any real, non-theoretical, applied way to stop thread in java safely?
Thank you in advance,
Lefty

This was one solution from the socket programming forum, have you tried this??
public Thread MyThread extends Thread{
     boolean active = true;
     public void run(){
          ss.setSoTimeout(90);
          while (active){
               try{
                    serverSocket = ss.accept();
               catch (SocketTimeoutException ste){
               // do nothing
     // interrupt thread
     public void deactivate(){
          active = false;
          // you gotta sleep for a time longer than the
          // accept() timeout to make sure that timeout is finished.
          try{
               sleep(91);
          }catch (InterruptedException ie){
          interrupt();
}

You can also try to provide a greater Priority to your player thread so that it gains the CPU time when ever it needs it and don't harm the playback.
However a loop in a Thread and that to an infinite loop is one kind of very bad programming, 'cuz the loop eats up most of your CPU time which in turn adds up more delays of the execution of other tasks (just as in your case it is the playback). By witting codes bit efficiently and planning out the architectural execution flow of the app before start writing the code helps solve these kind of issues.
You can go through [this simple tutorial|http://oreilly.com/catalog/expjava/excerpt/index.html] about Basics of Java and Threads to know more about threads.

N.B. And yes there are more articles and tutorials available but much of them targets the Java SE / EE, but if you want to read them here is [another great one straight from SUN|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/concurrency/index.html] .

J2ME problem with threads

Hi all,
I would like to ask you for a help. I need to write a small program at my university. I started to write a midlet which function would be to countdown time for sports activities. I woul like to start a new thread - the one that counts down - and at the same time make the main thread sleep. After the "countdown" thread finishes, the main thread wakes up and waits for user input. The problem is that when the "countdown" thread finishes his work, I've got Uncaught exception java/lang/NullPointerException. error and the midlet halts.

Groovemaker,
Your Licznik class has a member m of type monitor, which has not been instantiated (in other words is null) hence, when calling m.put() you get NullPointerException. Please also mind, that using Thread.sleep(1000) is not an accurate way of measuring time.
If I may, please use recommended for Java class naming conventions - some of your names use lower case, while other don't which is confusing to the reader.

Problem with threads within applet

Hello,
I got an applet, inside this applet I have a singleton, inside this singleton I have a thread.
this thread is running in endless loop.
he is doing something and go to sleep on and on.
the problem is,
when I refresh my IE6 browser I see more than 1 thread.
for debug matter, I did the following things:
inside the thread, sysout every time he goes to sleep.
sysout in the singleton constructor.
sysout in the singleton destructor.
the output goes like this:
when refresh the page, the singleton constructor loading but not every refresh, sometimes I see the constructor output and sometimes I dont.
The thread inside the singleton is giving me the same output, sometime I see more than one thread at a time and sometimes I dont.
The destructor never works (no output there).
I don't understand what is going on.
someone can please shed some light?
thanks.
btw. I am working with JRE 1.1
this is very old and big applet and I can't convert it to something new.

Ooops. sorry!
I did.
     public void start() {
     public void stop() {
     public void destroy() {
          try {
               resetAll();
               Configuration.closeConnection();
               QuoteItem.closeConnection();
          } finally {
               try {
                    super.finalize();
               } catch (Throwable e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();

Problem with Threads and a static variable

I have a problem with the code below. I am yet to make sure that I understand the problem. Correct me if I am wrong please.
Code functionality:
A timer calls SetState every second. It sets the state and sets boolean variable "changed" to true. Then notifies a main process thread to check if the state changed to send a message.
The problem as far I understand is:
Assume the timer Thread calls SetState twice before the main process Thread runs. As a result, "changed" is set to true twice. However, since the main process is blocked twice during the two calls to SetState, when it runs it would have the two SetState timer threads blocked on its synchronized body. It will pass the first one, send the message and set "changed" to false since it was true. Now, it will pass the second thread, but here is the problem, "changed" is already set to false. As a result, it won't send the message even though it is supposed to.
Would you please let me know if my understanding is correct? If so, what would you propose to resolve the problem? Should I call wait some other or should I notify in a different way?
Thanks,
B.D.
Code:
private static volatile boolean bChanged = false;
private static Thread objMainProcess;
   protected static void Init(){
        objMainProcess = new Thread() {
            public void run() {
                while( objMainProcess == Thread.currentThread() ) {
                   GetState();
        objMainProcess.setDaemon( true );
        objMainProcess.start();
    public static void initStatusTimer(){
        if(objTimer == null)
             objTimer = new javax.swing.Timer( 1000, new java.awt.event.ActionListener(){
                public void actionPerformed( java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt){
                          SetState();
    private static void SetState(){
        if( objMainProcess == null ) return;
        synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
            bChanged = true;
            try{
                objMainProcess.notify();
            }catch( IllegalMonitorStateException e ) {}
    private static boolean GetState() {
        if( objMainProcess == null ) return false;
        synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
            if( bChanged) {
                SendMessage();
                bChanged = false;
                return true;
            try {
                objMainProcess.wait();
            }catch( InterruptedException e ) {}
            return false;
    }

Thanks DrClap for your reply. Everything you said is right. It is not easy to make them alternate since SetState() could be called from different places where the state could be anything else but a status message. Like a GREETING message for example. It is a handshaking message but not a status message.
Again as you said, There is a reason I can't call sendMessage() inside setState().
The only way I was able to do it is by having a counter of the number of notifies that have been called. Every time notify() is called a counter is incremented. Now instead of just checking if "changed" flag is true, I also check if notify counter is greater than zero. If both true, I send the message. If "changed" flag is false, I check again if the notify counter is greater than zero, I send the message. This way it works, but it is kind of a patch than a good design fix. I am yet to find a good solution.
Thanks,
B.D.

Problem with threads running javaw

Hi,
Having a problem with multi thread programming using client server sockets. The program works find when starting the the application in a console using java muti.java , but when using javaw multi.java the program doesnt die and have to kill it in the task manager. The program doesnt display any of my gui error messages either when the server disconnect the client. all works find in a console. any advice on this as I havent been able to understand why this is happening? any comment would be appreciated.
troy.

troy,
Try and post a minimum code sample of your app which
does not work.
When using javaw, make sure you redirect the standard
error and standard output streams to file.
Graeme.Hi Graeme,
I dont understand what you mean by redirection to file? some of my code below.

Problem with Threads and "plase wait..."-Window

Hi everyone,
I have a problem that I'm not able to solve in any way... I have a time-consuming task (a file decryption) which I execute in a separate thread; I've used the SwingWorker class, like suggested by sun-tutorial, and it works right. The problem is that I have to wait that the decryption have finished before continuing with program-execution. Therefore I would like to display a "please wait"-window while the task runs. I've tryed all the possible ways I know but the problem is always the same: the waitWindow is displayed empty, the bounds are painted but the contents no; it's only painted when the decrypt-task has finished. Please help me, I have no more resources....
decrypt-file code:
public class DecryptFile {
private String cryptedFileNameAndPath;
private ByteArrayInputStream resultStream = null;
// need for progress
private int lengthOfTask;
private int current = -1;
private String statMessage;
public DecryptFile(String encZipFileNameAndPath) {
    cryptedFileNameAndPath = encZipFileNameAndPath;
    //Compute length of task...
    // 0 for indeterminate
    lengthOfTask = 0;
public ByteArrayInputStream getDecryptedInputStream() {
    return this.resultStream;
   * Called from ProgressBarDemo to start the task.
public void go() {
    current = -1;
    final SwingWorker worker = new SwingWorker() {
      public Object construct() {
        return new ActualTask();
    worker.start();
   * Called from ProgressBarDemo to find out how much work needs
   * to be done.
public int getLengthOfTask() {
    return lengthOfTask;
   * Called from ProgressBarDemo to find out how much has been done.
public int getCurrent() {
    return current;
public void stop() {
    current = lengthOfTask;
   * Called from ProgressBarDemo to find out if the task has completed.
public boolean done() {
    if (current >= lengthOfTask)
      return true;
    else
      return false;
public String getMessage() {
    return statMessage;
   * The actual long running task. This runs in a SwingWorker thread.
class ActualTask {
    ActualTask () {
      current = -1;
      statMessage = "";
      resultStream = AIUtil.getInputStreamFromEncZip(cryptedFileNameAndPath); //here the decryption happens
      current = 0;
      statMessage = "";
}The code that calls decryption and displays waitWindow
      final WaitSplash wS = new WaitSplash("Please wait...");
      final DecryptFile cryptedTemplate = new DecryptFile (this.templateFile);
      cryptedTemplate.go();
      while (! cryptedTemplate.done()) {
        try {
          wait();
        } catch (Exception e) { }
      this.templateInputStream = cryptedTemplate.getDecryptedInputStream();
      wS.close();Thanks, thanks, thanks in advance!

Maybe you can try setting the priority of the long-running thread to be lower? so that the UI will be more responsive...
