Declare variables with no definite number.

Hi all,
I need to declare field symbols and references depending upon the number of fields in a table. Suppose, I use a method to get the number of fields of a table at runtime which have no definite number. How can i declare field symbols or references or for that matter say any other variable dynamically.
Example:
At run time .. for fields
itab-one----
<fs_one>
itab-two----
<fs_two>
itab-three----
<fs_three>
itab-n----
<fs_n>
How can I do that? A sample code will be helpful
Thanks
Ali

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <DYN_TABLE> TYPE TABLE , <WA> , <LS_LINE>.
DATA : FS_SUM_GL LIKE LINE OF IT_YMM_ST.
FORM MOVE_TO_DYNAMIC_TAB .
DATA : FIELD(10)   ,
           INDX1(3) .
DATA: WA_DREF TYPE REF TO DATA.
DATA : FS_SUM_GL LIKE LINE OF IT_YMM_ST_TNUOT_MLY.
CREATE DATA LP_DATA LIKE LINE OF <DYN_TABLE>.
ASSIGN LP_DATA->* TO <LS_LINE>.
LOOP AT IT_YMM_ST.
    MOVE-CORRESPONDING IT_YMM_ST TO <LS_LINE>.
    INSERT <LS_LINE> INTO TABLE <DYN_TABLE>.
ENDLOOP .
DATA L_COUNTER_ROLL TYPE I .
LOOP AT <DYN_TABLE> INTO <LS_LINE> .
    MOVE-CORRESPONDING <LS_LINE> TO FS_SUM_GL.
    CLEAR : FIELD , INDX1 , L_COUNTER_ROLL .
    L_COUNTER_ROLL = 1 .
    LOOP AT IT_EKKN WHERE EBELN = FS_SUM_GL-EBELN.
                    AND   EBELP = FS_SUM_GL-EBELP.
     IF SY-SUBRC = 0 .
      INDX1 = L_COUNTER_ROLL.
      SHIFT INDX1 LEFT DELETING LEADING SPACE.
      CONCATENATE 'KOSTL' INDX1 INTO FIELD .
      ASSIGN COMPONENT FIELD OF STRUCTURE <LS_LINE> TO <FS1>.
      <FS1> = IT_EKKN-KOSTL .
      MODIFY <DYN_TABLE> INDEX SY-TABIX FROM <LS_LINE> .
      L_COUNTER_ROLL = L_COUNTER_ROLL + 1 .
     ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP .

SQL Expression Field - Combine Declared Variable With Case Statement

Hello All, I have been using Crystal & Business Objects for a few months now and have figured out quite a bit on my own. This is the first real time I have struggled with something and while I could do this as a Formula Field I would like to know how to do this as a SQL Expression. Basically I want to create a SQL Expression that uses a CASE statement but I wanted to make the code a little more efficient and employ a variable to hold a string and then use the variable in the CASE statement. The expression editor accepts the CASE statement OK but I don't know how to declare the variable. Please assist with the syntax?
This is what I have:
CASE
   WHEN u201CDatabaseu201D.u201DFieldu201D = u2018Hu2019 THEN u2018Hedgeu2019
   WHEN u201CDatabaseu201D.u201DFieldu201D = u2018Pu2019 THEN u2018PVIu2019
   ELSE u2018Noneu2019
END
This is what I want:
DECLARE strVar AS VARCHAR(25)
strVar = u201CDatabaseu201D.u201DFieldu201D
CASE
   WHEN strVar = u2018Hu2019 THEN u2018Hedgeu2019
   WHEN strVar = u2018Pu2019 THEN u2018PVIu2019
   ELSE u2018Noneu2019
END

Hi Todd,
Please use the following for loop; your problem will be solved.
Local StringVar str := "";
Local NumberVar strLen := Length ({Database.Field});
Local NumberVar i;
For i := 1 To strLen Do
       if {Database.Field} <i> = "H" then str := "Hedge"
        else if {Database.Field} <i> = "P" then str := "PVI"
        else str := "None"; exit for
str
Let me know once done!
Thank you,
Ashok

Difference between DEclaring Itab with DATA & TYpe Statement?

HI Friends,
What is the Difference between Declaring Itab with DATA & TYpe Statement?

Hi,
The Statements TYPES and DATA
Each ABAP program define its own data types using the statement.
TYPES dtype TYPE type ...
and declare its own variables or instance attributes of classes using the statement
DATA var {TYPE type} ...
Within the program or a class, you can also define local data types and variables within procedures. Local variables in procedures obscure identically-named variables in the main program or class.
When creating data types and data objects, there are a number of naming convention that also apply for other local program definitions, such as procedures. These are described in detail in the keyword documentation.
The Additions TYPE and LIKE
The additions TYPE type and LIKE dobj are used in various ABAP statements. The additions can have various meanings, depending on the syntax and context.
·        Definition of local types in a program
·        Declaration of data objects
·        Dynamic creation of data objects
·        Specification of the type of formal parameters in subroutines
·        Specification of the type of formal parameters in methods
·        Specification of the type of field symbols
TYPES: BEGIN OF struct,
         number_1 TYPE i,
         number_2 TYPE p DECIMALS 2,
       END OF struct.
DATA: wa_struct TYPE struct,
       number    LIKE wa_struct-number_2,
       date      LIKE sy-datum,
       time      TYPE t,
       text      TYPE string,
       company   TYPE s_carr_id.
This example declares variables with reference to the internal type STRUCT in the program, a component of an existing data object wa_struct, the predefined data object SY-DATUM, the predefined ABAP type t and STRING, and the data element S_CARR_ID from the ABAP Dictionary.
Reward Points if found helpfull..

How to replace one variable with another in large number of queries

Hello guys!
I have this situation: our company needs to use one variable instead of another for certain amount of queries.
Is there some way to automatically replace one variable with another for a certain characteristic in big number of queries ( like 150 - 200 ) ? Doing this manually would take lots of time)
Apreciate your help!

you could try (at your own risk) the following:
1. search the technical id (ELTUID) of your variable in table RSZELTDIR
2. see where this variable is used in table RSZELTXREF (by filling RSZELTDIR-ELTUIID in RSZELTXREF-TELTUID)
3. add similar entries for your new variable
4. delete the entries for the old variable (they're part of the key, so you can't simply "change" them)

How to declare a bind variable with 'date' data type in command prompt?

how to declare a bind variable with 'date' data type in command prompt?
sql>variable q date;
when i execute it show list of datatypes

Hi,
As Lokanath said, there are no DATE bind variables.
You can use a VARCHAR2 bind variable, and convert it to a DATE in your SQL statment.
If you're using SQL*Plus, consider a substitution variable. It won't be as efficient as a bind variable, but it will be as convenient.
For example:
DEFINE first_entrry_date = "DATE '2010-06-20''
SELECT   ...
WHERE   entry_date >= &first_entry_date
{code}

Variable with Replacement Path

Hi, I have two queries. The results of the first one should be the input for the second one. E.g. the first query shows a list of personnel numbers and additional information. These personnel numbers shall be overtaken by the second query. The personnel numbers belong to "Dimensions" in the Query Designer. I alread tried to create a variable with replacement path to the dimension personnel number. I implementet this variable in both the first and the second query (under: "rows"). It`s no "Formular variable" and no "Calculated Key Figure" but a "Characteristic Value Variable" of a Dimension. The problem is now that I cannot execute any of the two queries. The error "Abort the query cannot be released for OLE DB for OLAP. System error in programm CL_RSR_REQUEST and form PREPARE_VQUERIES:INVALID_
What is my mistake? Thank you in advance! Eve

Hi Eve,
It is possible to connect the 2 queries using a Replacement Path characteristic variable. You would need to create the variable on the char whose values you want to pass from Q1 to Q2. The variable will be of type replacement path and you will need to enter the name of Q1 from which it will get the values. Make sure that you include this char in the query definition of Q1 and Q2. In Q2 you will restrict the characteristic using this variable. DO not use this variable (replacement path) in Q1.
In your query properties check if you have turned on the checkmark for Release for OLE DB for OLAP (3rd tab). If the check mark is there, then remove it.
We are using the scenario in a couple of places, and it works very well.
Hope this helps...

Using variable with the same name as field name?

I have a complex proc where I have variables with the same name as field name used on a query. something like this:
SELECT a.id_table WHERE a.id_table = id_table
where the last id_table is a parameter sent to the proc:
declare procedure myproc(id_table int)
Is there any way or notation to declare the variable inside the query as a variable or I have to use a different name?

Well, variables are not the only thing you have to change if you want to switch to Oracle.
Although I don't think it is good practice (to use variable name same as column name), here is one example how you can achieve it using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE and bind variable
SQL> select deptno, count(1)
2 from scott.emp
3 group by deptno;
    DEPTNO   COUNT(1)
        30          6
        20          5
10 3
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> declare
2 deptno varchar2(10);
3 i number;
4 begin
5 deptno:=10;
6 execute immediate
7 'select count(1) from scott.emp where deptno=:deptno' into i using deptno;
8 dbms_output.put_line('OUT ---> '||i);
9 end;
10 /
OUT ---> 3

How to declare variable in the scipt

data is coming from standard program .
rf140-stida key entry date.
bsik-bldat posting date
i want to display difference between rf140-stida and bsik-bldat in scipt form it will give number of days.
how can i declare variables for this.
how to write code in my form.

Hi
U need to create a routine to calculate the difference:
/: DEFINE &DELTA& = SPACE
/: PERFORM <FORM NAME> IN PROGRAM <PROGRAN NAME>
/: USING &RF140-STIDA&
/: USING &BSIK-BLDAT&
/: CHANGING &DELTA&
&DELTA&
The routine has to be defined in your Z-PROGRAM and to have these interface:
FORM <FORM NAME> TABLES IN_TAB_EM     STRUCTURE ITCSY
                                                   OUT_TAB_EM STRUCTURE ITCSY.
DATA: DELTA TYPE I.
DATA: DATE1 LIKE SY-DATUM,
             DATE2 LIKE SY-DATUM.
* ---> Rembember the date has the ouput format, so it has to be converted in the
* input format
READ TABLE IN_TAB_EM WITH KEY NAME = 'RF140-STIDA'.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
     DATE1(4)     = IN_TAB_EM-VALUE+6(4).
     DATE1+4(2) = IN_TAB_EM-VALUE+3(2).
     DATE1+6(2) = IN_TAB_EM-VALUE(2).
ENDIF.
READ TABLE IN_TAB_EM WITH KEY NAME = 'BSIK-BLDAT'.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
     DATE2(4)     = IN_TAB_EM-VALUE+6(4).
     DATE2+4(2) = IN_TAB_EM-VALUE+3(2).
     DATE2+6(2) = IN_TAB_EM-VALUE(2).
ENDIF.
DELTA = DATE1 - DATE2.
READ TABLE OUT_TAB_EM WITH KEY NAME = 'DELTA'.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
     WRITE DELTA TO OUT_TAB_EM-VALUE.
     MODIFY OUT_TAB_EM INDEX SY-TABIX.

Duplicate variable 'altova:table' definition

I have a little class that I wrote to apply a XSLT file to a XML using Oracle XML Parser.
Here is the code:
XSLProcessor processor = new XSLProcessor();
String sInputXSL = "d:/xsl.xsl";
String sInputXML = "d:/xml.xml";
File fXSL = new File(sInputXSL);
URI uri = fXSL.toURI();
URL url = uri.toURL();
XSLStylesheet stylesheet = processor.newXSLStylesheet(url); (*)
When I execute it, I get the following error on the line (*)
XML-22050: (Error) Duplicate variable 'altova:table' definition.
XML-22050: (Error) Duplicate variable 'altova:table' definition.
XML-22050: (Error) Duplicate variable 'altova:table' definition.
oracle.xml.xslt.XSLException: XML-22050: (Error) Duplicate variable 'altova:table' definition.
at oracle.xml.xslt.XSLStylesheet.flushErrors(XSLStylesheet.java:1848)
The XSL file is a XSL file that was generated by Altova Stylevision.
I opened the XSL to watch is content and there is in dead several declarations of altova:table variable:
<xsl:variable name="altova:table">:
The XSLT is valid because when I execute the transformation with java.xml.Transformer class it works.
What can I do to solve the problem?

"Reset" declared variables to initialized state?

Hiya!
This might sound like a very stupid question, but I have not figured out a way to do this. I am working on a "personal information manager", where users can enter a date in a lovely swing textfield, it get's parsed to Integer and a GregorianCalendar is created with it. Once I created the Calendar, the TextFields are emptied again, but of course the Integer instance variables are still declared with the old values. This leads to the fact that a user could click "add date" again and a date is created without entering any number at all.
My question:
Is it possible to set declared variables back to the state they had when initialized? They should be "empty"...
I can`t set them null...
Thanks for your help, it's much appreciated!

The only type of variable where "empty" has any meaning is for an empty string: "". Otherwise there is no empty. Objects are by default initialized to null, numeric primitives to zero, and I think chars to '' but I could be mistaken about that one - I never use chars. So if you're using Integers, they could either be null, or an Integer - nothing else.

Declare Variable in Smartforms from BT and EPF tables

Hi All,
I am developing a smartform to display the payslip of employees.
In my smartform I need to use fields from the BT table and EPF Table.
I need to declare variables for the same fields in smartform.
How can this be achieved.
Any pointers or suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks,
Saher

Hi
Please search with the search term smartforms and u will get many threads which will answer your question.
In general, in form interface of smartform we declare the tables whose values are passed from the print program.
IN global definitions, we declare the variables we use in the smartform.

Vishwa.

Associating Skype's user name with the phone number!

Hello there, I always love using Skype but I haven't been using it that much recently due to the rise of other video chat apps like FaceTime. I think one of the struggles that Skype users face is the need to know their friends exact user name or email address. In my opinion, adding the ability to associate Skype user name with a phone number (like Whatsapp & FaceTime) would make it much more convenient and will help Skype to spread to more users especially with the availability on all phones OS.

Hi jjthexer,
here, I'll throw in a frame you can use by adding the meat of the script into it:
# The path where you store your csv file that includes the user-information
$path = "C:\ExampleFolder\example.csv"
# Load the Csv file into PowerShell
$users = Import-Csv $path
# Now do for each of those
foreach ($User in $users)
# Step 1: Check whether the user exists
# Step 2: If it exists, add telephone number to AD object
You'll need to figure out how to fill out the foreach loop yourself (there are plenty of learning ressources here on technet to do so on your own), or wait until someone else cheats and tells you more ;).
Noticed that I changed the "Get-Content" into "Import-Csv"? It alters the way you receive the data. Suffice to say, Import-Csv is cooler when dealing with Csv files. Try out these two commands (after declaring the path variable to your csv file) to see the
difference:
(Get-Content $path)[1] | FL *
(Import-Csv $path)[0] | FL *
Another thing you used is the add-pssnapin command. What this does is load the Quest Commands to access the Active Directory. For it to work, you need to have these installed. There is a Microsoft native command set that is available on all computers that
have an AD Management Console. Either of those will work, if you meet the stated prerequisites. Both are best placed at the head of the script. Here are the two commands again for reference:
# Load Quest AD Cmdlets
Add-PSSnapin quest.activeroles.admanagement
# Load Microsoft AD Cmdlets
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
Hopefully, that info will be of some help to you :)
Cheers,
Fred

What happens to dynamically declared variables when I'm not using them?

Hello, I'm making a game using Flash Pro cc. But I wonder what happens to aTile, which is dynamically declared MovieClip variable through a loop. And each aTile gets the 2 EventListener's.
for(var i:Number=0; i<pVector.length;i++){
    var aTile:ATile=new ATile();
    aTile.x=pVector[i].x;
    aTile.y=pVector[i].y;
    aTile.gotoAndStop(Math.ceil(Math.random()*Color));
    nVector.push(aTile);
    Spr.addChild(aTile);
    aTile.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,Clicked,false,0,true);
    aTile.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, stop,false,0,true);
     // the current function ends here. what happens to aTile now ?? Is it going to be garbage collected? By the way, this piece of code runs whenever a player starts a new level of my game. And I don't make use of the aTile variable in other functions. I use only the nVector variable. And does declaring a dynamic variable in a loop mean a multiple of them are created? For example, if I loop the piece of code above 5 times, does it mean 5 aTile variables are created? Or each time you declare
var aTile:ATile=new ATile(); again, does it replace the 'old' aTile with the 'new' aTile and therefore only 1 aTile exists after the loop????

I feel there is a gap in understanding of using variables by reference vs. by value. You should look it up.
1. new instructs Flash to create a distinct instance that per se has absolutely nothing to do with aTile variable.
2. REFERENCE to this new instance is assigned to variable aTile. aTile var is a temporary pointer to instance.
3. It does not replace old tile - it replaces reference.
4. If reference to the instance is not stored elsewhere - upon exiting of function this instance will be gced.
5. By creating another reference to the instance you prevent it from GC. One of the ways you preserve instance is by adding it to display list when using addChild.
You can look at this this way (it is a lame example but still it illustrates parts of the concept)
Say you have
1. basket;
2. basket is small and can hold only one apple;
3. table;
4. an apple;
5. apple can be placed into the basket or table;
6. dog who love apples.
7. Dog is trained not to take apples from baskets but table but is free to eat apples that are on the ground.
So, once apple is in the basket or on the table - it is safe.
If you move these entities into the realm of AS3, basket and table become declared variables, apple an instance and dog garbage collector.
What this example demonstrates is that apple exists independently of basket or table. You can put apple to the basket OR on the table OR you can put apple into basket and place basket onto the table.
1. Find apple instance (if you know whether apple is in the basket, on the table or in the basket on the table)
2. Prevent dog from eating apple.
3. Allow dog to eat it (destroy it when garbage collector kicks in) by assuring that apple is in neither basket or on the table.

Creating Variable with Replacement Path to get value from ANOTHER Variable

Hi all,
    Is anyone has created the Variable with Replacement Path to get the value from another User Entry Variable, PLEASE ?
First created the User Entry Variable (ZV_X) and it accepts the date range like '01/01/2009 - 01/31/2009'. Next created the Characteristic variable (ZV_Y) of Replacement Path for which source variable will be ZV_X and we should get the 'FROM Date' (01/01/2009) from the selection (ZV_X) into it (ZV_Y).
While creating the Characteristic variable (ZV_Y) of Replacement Path, I didn't find my newly created ZV_X variable in the list of available variables under 'Variable' header in 'Replacement Path' tab and it is causing the error 'Source to replace variable ZV_Y is not defined'. How could I create the Characteristic variable of Replacement Path for my requirement, PLEASE ?
The following is from help.sap..com:
Replace with Characteristic Value
Text and formula variables with the processing type Replacement Path can be replaced with a corresponding characteristic value. In the variable editor, on the General tab page, you specify under Reference Characteristic the characteristic that is to be referenced by the replacement. On the Replacement Path tab page, you can choose whether the variable is replaced with the From or the To Value and with the Key or the Name of the characteristic value. You can also specify the Offset Start and Offset Length for the output.
Replace with Variable
Characteristic value variables, hierarchy variables, text variables, and formula variables with the Replacement Path processing type can take their values from a different variable.
The following prerequisites need to be fulfilled:
Variable
●      The variable must not be input-ready
●      The variable must represent a single value
Source Variable
●      The source variable must not be a hierarchy node variable
●      The source variable must be input-ready
●      The source variable must be available in the query
●      The source variable must represent a single value or an interval
In the variable editor, on the Replacement Path tab page, you specify the source variable from which the value is to be determined. The value is either determined from the key, the external attribute of the key, the description, or the attribute value. You can specify an Offset Start and an Offset Length for the output here. The variable is replaced on the variable screen upon each data release.
Thanks,
Venkat.

Formula variable with replacement path on system date

Hi Experts,
I got a requirement to calculate "Days without payment" in report level.
Days without payment = System Date - Payment Date.
(Payment date field is available in CUBE, but system date field is not available in the CUBE)
As we know, the difference b/w 2 dates is not possible directly.It can be possible by creating 2 formula variables with replacement paths on the dates and by writing aformula on these 2 formula variables.
But the thing is I dont have system date readily available, and I tried by using SAP Exit. But we cant create formula variable replacement path on another variable (SAP EXIT).
Do we have any SAP variable for formula with replacement path readily avaliable to get system date (or) any other suggession.
Please suggest me.
Thanks,
Sai Chand.S

Hi Arminder,
Thanks for your valuable answer.
I tried doing the same previously.As u said we can get system date by creating customer exit variable.
But the thing is to find difference b/w 2 dates, we cant do it directly, we need to create 2 formula variables with replacement path.
1) Var1 = Formula variable with replacement path on system date(custoer exit variable).
2) Var2 = Formula variable with replacement path on paymanet date.
Number of days = var1 - var2.
But as in 1st point, we cant create formula variable with replacement path on another variable, as system date is already a variable of type customer exit.
We can create replacement paths only on characteristics.
Please suggest me .
Thanks,
Sai Chand.S
