Customer exit variables

Hello,
I have created two customer exit variables, although I'm not an ABAP expert. Both are calculated based on two optional variables selected by the user.
When running my query I get the message "Warning Value '' is too long for variable ZPERSTRT". I suppose that really means the value is empty while a value was expected. The type of this variable is 0DATE.
I try checking the code to examine how the value can be empty, and that results in a few questions some of you probably can answer.
Unfortunately, for complex reasons I have to program the customer exit variables in the development system, while testing them in the test system where I don't have access to the ABAP editor.
QUESTION 1
When finding the values of the other variables, I must be prepared to find them without a value. How can I know if they have a value or not? I've tried with the following code, which I suspect is not working quite as expected:
      LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range
        WHERE vnam = 'ZCALWINT'.
        IF loc_var_range-low <> ''.
          l_week0 = loc_var_range-low.
          l_flag = 1.
        ENDIF.
      ENDLOOP.
I later use l_flag to check if a value was found or not.
QUESTION 2
How is type conversion done in a statement like
date = string + 1
If string has the value "20071031", will 1 be added as a string (resulting in "200710311" which is then somehow converted to a date), like a number (resulting in "20071032" which is then somehow converted to a date) or like a date (resulting in "20071101")?
QUESTION 3
More type conversion. Would it be ok to concatenate year, month and day into a date variable, or should I always concatenate into a string which can then be converted to a date afterwards?
QUESTION 4
If the variable I want to read has an interval and not only a single value, is the only way to see this by checking the -high value? If this one has a value it is an interval, if not it is a single value? Or can I be sure the -opt value will be 'BT' if it's an interval?
Thanks and regards,
Christoffer

Anyone?
I'll award 10 points to the best overall answer and 6 points to answers which are first or best on one of the four questions.

Default value of BeX customer Exit variable not Displayed in WeBI??

Hello Experts,
We are stuck with a problem where WeBI report is created on top of BeX query and we are not able to see the default value of Bex Customer exit variable in WeBI run. Here is the complete scenario:
1. One restricted KF is created in BeX, restricted with Customer exit variable on net Due date. And this variable is mandatory, ready for input, and Default value in calculated is user exit as current Week's Monday.
2. So, by default KF data should be restricted to Monday of current week, if user does not change this value.
3. Now, WeBI report is created on top of this Bex query, and all is working fine, i.e. we are getting variable as Prompt in WeBI, but Default value is not shown while Running the Webi Report.
So, need your inputs on the same, if default values from BeX in WeBI is supported or not? If yes, why this is happening, and how to resolve it?
Please notice, the restrcition is in KF only, it is not a separate restrcition on Net Due date in Filter area or in Defualt area of BeX
and we are on SAP BW 7.1 and BOXI 3.1 SP4.

Vipul

Hi,
See 1285993 - Support of Customer Exit Variables from BEx query into WebIntelligence via OLAP universe
WebI will prompt when executed, but the default values calculated by the user exit - do not appear.
Note: If the BEx variable has property 'ready for input' set / enabled, then its WebI prompt shows ok, but no default value appears.
Cause
This behaviour expected 'by design' (in the context of the product's current limitations) as explained in the online guide below:
Please refer to Chapter 7, page 44, document link here: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_sap_olap_universes_en.pdf
Characteristic variable > processing type > Customer Exit is "Supported, without user entry"
--> This should be understood as meaning "User will not be shown a prompt"

Display Error Message in BW Report based on Customer Exit Variable

Hi
I need to display an error message in the BW report based on the value of a customer exit variable - i was able to do this successfully in BW3.5 using the below code.
WHEN 'ZUPN'. "Here ZUPN is the customer exit variable
    IF i_step = 1.
      <check for condition -- if successful, variable flag = 1, else variable flag = 0>
      IF flag = 0.
        MESSAGE e157(00). "Error Message
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
I have upgraded my system to BI 7.0 now. Whenever the variable check is not successful, it displays a blank screen instead of the error message in the report. Please advice if we need to change the code and how ??

Bhanu,
Thanks for u r reply.This warning message appears every time i execute the report through portal.
Any idea ?

Customer Exit variable of Query not working in View

Hi,
I have a customer exit variable in my query to calculate the last 6 month period on Calendar month. I have used 0CMONTH for the same and then using offset of 6 on its value range to get it.
Now, I have many views based on this query, which should ideally be having the same filter condition for the calendar month, but it is not happening. Although, it is working fine for the query! The views do not seem to be catching the selection correct.

Hi there,
As far as I Know, yes they exist. The only difference here, is that you build a query with a selection screen, and you execute the query with some selection parameters, and therefore all customer exit variables, offsets, etc, will be read and changed at the runtime execution of the query, and you can rearrange your query visualization drilling down free char., making filters, etc. and storing that visualization in a view.
If you save your view and execute it afterwards, you'll get the same selection parameters to input, the same offsets, etc, that you have with the query, but with a visualization stored by you.
So that should have been working.

Customer Exit variable and Filter routine in DTP does not works?

Hello Experts,
Does anyone know what might be the possible reason - A customer exit variable working fine on the OLAP side does not work in a DTP??
I have also tried to use the Filter routine, which does not give me the right results..I am trying to fetch a Fiscalyear period maintained in an infoObject as follows in my Filter routine..
ata: sel_period like /BIC/PZPARAM-/BIC/ZPARAMVAL.
DATA: zperiod type /BI0/OIFISCPER.
          SELECT SINGLE /BIC/ZPARAMVAL INTO sel_period
          FROM /BIC/PZPARAM
          WHERE /BIC/ZPARAM = 'ZPCA'
          AND objvers = 'A'.
          zperiod = sel_period.
data: l_idx like sy-tabix.
          read table l_t_range with key
               fieldname = 'FISCPER'.
          l_idx = sy-tabix.
          l_t_range-iobjnm = '0FISCPER'.
          l_t_range-fieldname = 'FISCPER'.
          l_t_range-sign = 'I'.
          l_t_range-option = 'EQ'.
          l_t_range-low = zperiod.
          if l_idx <> 0.
            modify l_t_range index l_idx.
          else.
            append l_t_range.
          endif.
          p_subrc = 0.
Please let me know if I am making any mistakes above..
Kind Regards,
Kadriks

Hi
1. CLEAR l_t_range-high. is missing in your code befor assigning values to l_t_range.
2. use simple append l_t_range after the l_t_range asisgnments. remove below code :
if l_idx 0.
modify l_t_range index l_idx.
else.
append l_t_range.
endif.
p_subrc = 0.
3. I dont think you need to assign infoobject.
4. Clear sel_period and zperiod is also missing
Hence your code should be :
data: l_idx like sy-tabix.
read table l_t_range with key
fieldname = 'FISCPER'.
CLEAR l_t_range-high.
l_idx = sy-tabix.
l_t_range-fieldname = 'FISCPER'.
l_t_range-sign = 'I'.
l_t_range-option = 'EQ'.
l_t_range-low = zperiod.
append l_t_range .

Customer exit variable - internal table in BEX

Hi,
i am running a report and using variables in it.
The report runs over a info cube. There are few challenges in it.
One of the variable is posting date, and when user enters posting date i need to negate it with current system date.
If the negated value is greater than 28 then i need to exclude documnet type 'YG' and display the query, else i need to include the dcumnet type 'YG' and document type ' '. The above logic can be well implemented via a customer exit variable(for posting date) using an internal table. We have internal tables like C_T_DATA which is used in data source enhancement, which help us to implement our own desired logic.
Do we have such kind of internal tables, based on which the report output (result set) is derived?
i know that we have l_t_range and e_t_range, but dont know their usage, some one can explain in detail about them?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Selva & Lakshmin,
The code given by Selva is almost correct . If my understanding is clear , you also wanted to include document type ' ' when the negated value is less than 28 .
Modification in Selvas Code :
Variable 'V_DOCTYP' must be of type Multiple Single Values.
DATA : V_DATE LIKE SY-DATUM.
DATA : V_DAYS TYPE I.
if i_step = 2.
when 'V_DOCTYP'.
READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range WITH KEY vnam = 'ZV_PDATE''.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
V_DATE = loc_var_range-low.
ENDIF.
V_DAYS = SY-DATUM - V_DATE.
IF V_DAYS > 28.
l_s_range-low = 'YG'
l_s_range-sign = 'E'.
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
ELSE.
l_s_range-low = 'YG'
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
clear l_s_range.
l_s_range-low = ' '.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.

Customer Exit Variable and Condition in a Query (Sequence of Execution)

Hi,
For a query i defined a Customer exit variable and a condition....
Which will first execute...wether it is a Variable and then Condition or vise versa
Is there any way we can control sequence of execution
My requirment is first to execute the condition and the variable how can i control this
Thanks

Hi
In your customer exit you will be having a field by name I_STEP which will help you to handle the time of execution of the variable.
Assign points if helpful

Customer Exit Variable not working in BO-Webi Report

Hi All,
I have created a universe based on Bex Query.
Bex query consists of a customer exit variable on Calendar year/month where in it will populate current calendar year month by default while executing the query. It works fine while executing in SAP BI Bex Analyser.
I have created a universe based on the query. For Calender year/Month i got L00, L01, LOV values in universe.
Based on the universe I have created a Webi report. I did not specify calendar year/month as query filters. While directly executing the Webi report, I get the calendar year/month variable screen. But the value for it not populated based on customer Exit code written in BI.
What has to be done to get the customer exit values in variable screen.
Thanks for your understanding.
-- Selva

Since you have customer exit variable in your bex query, it will be like a global filter in your universe.
Execute the webi report and check whether you are getting only current month data.

Customer Exit Variable in cell definition in BEx

Hi,
I have defined a query with a Structure in Row and Key Figures in column.
The result of query should look like this:
Fiscal/Year Period | Quantity per month | Quantity cumulative
011.2010 (Variable Offset Value -3) | 5 | 5
012.2010 (Variable Offset Value -2) | 6 | 11
001.2011 (Variable Offset Value -1) | 7 | 7
002.2011 (Variable Single Value, Manual Input) | 8 | 15
"Quantity cumulative" is defined as follows:
Quantity cumulative (002.2011) = Quantity 001.2011 + Quantity 002.2011
Quantity cumulative (001.2011) = Quantity 001.2011
Quantity cumulative (012.2010) = Quantity 011.2010 + Quantity 012.2010
Quantity cumulative (011.2010) = Quantity 011.2010
"Fiscal/Year Period" and "Quantity per month" are OK. But I have problem to define the key figrue "Quantity cumulative".
I have defined a Customer Exit Variable on Reference Characteristic "Fiscal/Year Period". Moreover I have also defined cell definition to define each individual cell for key figrue "Quantity cumulative" restricted by Customer Exit Variable.
The Quantity cumulative (002.2011) and Quantity cumulative (001.2011) are calculated correct. But it doesn't work for 012.2010 and 011.2010 (because of previous year).
I would be helpful if you can give some hints.
Thanks

Hi,
try to use this trick with an IF condition in you customer exit. Calling 'var1' the manual input of:
data: month_difference TYPE N.
month_difference = 'var1'+4(3) - 4.
IF month_difference >= 0.
DO the classic code which you have already used.
ELSE month_difference < 0.
DO the replace concatenating manually 'var1'(4) and the single month.
ENDIF.
Hope it helps.
Best regards.
Simone.

Hi,
Create a formula "Cumulative Quantity" and add only "Quantity per Month" in the formula. Go to formula properties, Calculations tab, check the Cumulated option.
This works for different years as well.

Customer Exit Variable in formula to get values for multiple keyfigures

Hi to all,
I have query as defined in following scenario:
CHAR_X     C_KF1 (based on KF1)     C_KF2 (based on KF2)     u2026     C_KFn (based on KFn)
Value1
Value2
u2026
Valuem
C_KF = calculated key figure
I need to create a customer exit variable that will search through selection e.g. CHAR_X/KF1 and give some result. I need this variable for every keyfigure (KF1-KFn). Using customer exit variable is the only solution.
My question is: do I have to create formula variable (customer exit) representing every keyfigure separately (VAR1 u2013 VARn, like in below example)?
CHAR_X     C_KF1 (using VAR1)     C_KF2 (using VAR2)     u2026     C_KFn (using VARn)
Value1
Value2
u2026
Valuem
Or is it possible to create one general formula variable since the way to retrieve the value in variable is always the same (like in below example)? In this case, how do I pass the value of the respective keyfigure to this variable?
CHAR_X     C_KF1 (using VAR_X)     C_KF2 (using VAR_X)     u2026     C_KFn (using VAR_X)
Value1
Value2
u2026
Valuem
Thanks for your replies, points will be awarded!
Cheers

That is my concern, the value of variable is not the same.
What variable should do is:
take KF1 id, go through values for CHAR_X, get back one value
This value would always be different, and also "KF" part in code of variable should be different, based on the column where the variable is being used (so, in column C_KF1 ,variable should "pick up" id of KF1, etc.).
I hope it makes it more clear. For now, I do not have the code for variable yet, I am just interested in concept whether it is possible to pass the ID of keyfigure dynamically so I can make decision how to model this request.
Thanks

Customer exit variable in Report designer

Hello,
I have created one Customer Exit variable ( variable ready for input) for one of the characteristics in a query. However, when i execute this query in Report designer, the selection variable is not appearing. It is just taking the variable value from Exit, eventhough the variable is ready for input.
Is it a standard behavior or am i missing anything ?
Ravi

Hello,
First check your variable is included in the report desinger or not
if it is included in Filters, use the T-code RSRT2 and execute. You should get a variable screen.
Debug your query here.
Hope it is useful.
Thanks,
Ashok

Customer exit variable in Planning filter - IP

Hi,
I am new to business planning. I am trying to use a customer exit variable in filter, while performing check system generates message "RFC failue error". the logic is written to get the current year. But I am not able to use this variable? Can you please answer me this question... Can I use Customer exit variables in planning modeler filters or planning functions ?

Hi there,
Yes you can, and it is used very often in both.
Probably your variable is wrongly defined.
What you can do is create a query over that aggregation level, and insert the planning filter in there. Put some key figure on the query and put a breakpoint on your variable customer exit code. Execute the query and debug the variable code to check the error.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Diogo.

Concatination of Two dates in customer exit Variable

HI Expert ,
I am writting customer Exit Variable to get Records from user entered Dates .
Eg. In Variable Screen of Bex report i have 2 Variable LYDate & TY Date both of them are As "Mutiple Single Value" & "Mendetory".
If we give LYDATE and TYDATE Date range as,
LYDate - 01/2013 - 06/2013
TYDate - 01/2014 - 12/2014
So I need ABAP Code which will get Value Range from 01/2013 from LYDATE and 12/2014 From TY DATE . So Query will Get data for 01/2013 TO 12/2014 (2 Years Data).
ZCALYEAR (Cusomer Exit) = LYDATE (01/2013) TO TY DATE(12/2104).
Please provide step by step ABAP Code to Achiev above issue. Points for Sure...
Thanks,

Hi,
Some code like this will solve your issue:
CASE I_VNAM.
   WHEN 'NEWVARIABLE'.
   IF I_STEP = 2.
      READ TABLE I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE WITH KEY VNAM = 'LYDate'.
      If sy-subrc =0.
          CONCATENATE LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW(4) INTO L_S_RANGE-LOW.
          READ TABLE I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE WITH KEY VNAM = 'TYDate'.
          If sy-subrc =0.
               CONCATENATE LOC_VAR_RANGE-HIGH(4) INTO L_S_RANGE-HIGH.
               L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
               L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'EQ'.
          APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
        endif.
      endif.
    endif.
endcase.
