Description for Variable in variable screen

Hi Forum,
I am using variables type "Replacement Path" in a query for 0FISCYEAR and 0FISCPER3 through by another variable for 0FISCPER.
The variables are functioning well, but in the screen of entrance of variables, the variable for 0FISCPER display the technician name instead of the description.
Many thanks in advance for any idea.
Kind regards,
Joã

Hi Supraja,
Thanks for your help.
However my problem is like Tobias Vogt problem posted Jan 30, 2009 10:49 AM (Technical description in variable screen for replacement path variable).
""There's a query that is used as stand alone and as a target of RRI from another query.
Because the source query provides a time-interval and the target query should only use
the upper value, I've used a variable1 of type replacement path to be replaced by another variable2.
That's working quite well. But unfortunately, the technical description of variable2 is shown on variable input screen.
Does anyone know how the technical description can be replaced by a text description?""

Save setting for - Display Personalized variables on variable screen

Hi,
Good Morning.
I have got a variant. After I select a variant I went to Personalization screen. In this screen after selecting a couple of variables I unchecked/unmarked check box for 'Display personalization variables on variable screen'. I clicked on Ok and also saved tha variant (overwrite).
But the next time I open the query this check box remains unchecked and all the personalized variables are visible.
Can you please help me in resolving this?
Thanks & Regards,
Raj

Showin a variable description for an info-object depending on a user login

Hi,
Client requirement is to show a variable description for an info-object depending on a user login.
e.g. a Characteristic Name is Level1 with a description as 'Level1'. If a user in Canada logs in and see a BEx report he should be able to see the description for infoobject Level1 as 'Cost center'. A user in US may wish to see the description as 'Expense center' etc. etc.
Is it possible to do so ? If yes please let me know ASAP.
Do not get confused with language dependant texts.
Regards,
K.Manikandan.

Hi,
I don't think it is possible through standard functionality, but maybe you could try a workaround.
Create a Characteristic (say COMP) with text, and compound it with Infoobject Level1. The values and description for COMP could be
US Cost Center
CN Expense Center
You could make COMP an Authorisation relevant object and check the same with regard to user login, so that the people of sepecific country see only description relevant to their COMP.
In the report Display COMP as Description and Level1 as Key.
But do not that compounding may have an impact on the performance, also look into the implications of the same if you need to do it for a large number of reports/objects.
Hope it helps.

Wrong text description for exit variable

Hi,
I have a problem with descriptions of variables created on 0FISCPER. I created two exit variables 'Z1' and 'Z2' and the related Function module that reading a custom table (I read the last closed period) build a range. For the first variable the range is 001.2006 to the last closed period. For the second variable the range is from (last closed period + 1) to 012.2006.
The manual layout (dynamic for 0FISCPER) shows for the columns related with the first variable the description of the first period (January), for the other acts the same (May - the first value of second variable)
Values from infocube are selected correctly so the problem seems to be specific of texts.
Thank you in advance,
Andrea

Hi Andrea,
first check if fiscal year variant is restricted to a single value. Then look into the customizing for the FYV. It's possible to maintain texts for periods there, so check if those are correct.
If it still does not work, open a message to SAP support.

Hi Eugene,
thank you very much for your reply. The problem I described arise in BW-BPS trying to build a planning layout with actual and plan periods. So I have two variables on 0FISCPER. In the related Function Modules I select the last closed period from a custom table building two ranges : from 001.2006 to the last closed period for the first variable (actual data) and from (last closed period + 1) to 012.2006 for the second.
Data selection from infocube works correctly, but columns texts are wrong.
ES:
Jan 2006 Jan 2006 Jan 2006 Apr 2006 Apr 2006 .....

Thank you,

Passing URL Parametes to Variables in variable Selection Screen

Hi
Is there any way to pass the URL parameters to the variables in the selection screen of Web Report/ and How to make to non editable.
Your points are assured
Thanks and Regards
Prasad

Pankaj,
What you have mentioned is for BSP Pages... for web reports .. add the following to the URL..
&CMD=PROCESS_VARIABLES&SUBCMD=VAR_SUBMIT&VAR_NAME_1=<Your Variable Name>&VAR_VALUE_EXT_1=<Value of the variable>
This is for a normal variable - it is slightly different for hierarchy variables...
For details information - you can refer the WEB API reference 3.x....

Changing a variable in variable screen

Hey everybody,
i have a question for variable screen in Bex Analyzer 3.5 in BI 7.0.
Is it possible to change a variable in variable screen depending the input of an other variable?
I know how to change it bevor popup and after popup.
But i want to change the date of a hierarchy-variable depending of the values entered of two other variables. so, as soon as the variable of date or month is changed, i would like to match the hierarchy-date of a variable.
Anybody an idea?

Hey Vikash,
thanks for the link, but I quess, that doesn't help. We have allready a keydate-userexit-variable, that is filled after popup (i_step=2). I Know how to do ist also bevor popup (i_step=1).
What I need is to change a variable "during" popup. That means, the variable screen is open, and the user enters variable number 1. As soon as he did an input, I want to react on this "event" and change a other variable. (In our case, a hiararchydate, so that he can choose from the right hiararchy).
I read that the variable screen of Bex 3.5 in BI 7.0 has an other technoloy than in before. (Html-Based). I hoped that there is a new chance of working whitch the variables in Bex.
I little example.
the variables screen pops up with some default value:
year (2008)
month (12)
ConsolidationUnit ( )
(hierarchyVariable with keydate 31.12.2008 when you open F4-Screen)
now, the user changes the first variable into year 2009 an presses enter, but he don't execute the query yet, because he wants to choose a consolidationunit first.
In this moment, i whant to change the Keydate from Consolidationunit-variable
year(2009)
month(12)
ConsolidationUnit
(HierarchyVariable with keydate 31.12.2009 when you open F4-Screen)
The consunit he wants to choose is not available in Hierarchy from 2008.
Thats our Problem.
I want to avoid, that the user has to type in an other variable for keydate of the hiearchy. because the keydate depends on the other entered time-variables.
Hope, that this is comprehendible. I try to realize somekind of an interaction between variables in the screen.
Kind regards,
Amina

More simple way for creating dummy variables

I am finding for more simple way for creating dummy variables.
For analyzing by linear regression, logistic regression ... creating dummy variables from categorical data is necessary.
Most simplest way for creating dummy variables is may be pivot function.
But I need more simple method.
Anyone's idea. I welcome.

Getting input for atleast one variable present in the report

Hi All,
I want to create a report with the below requirement.
If user didn't enter the value for any of the customer exit varaibles(ZCALDAY, ZCALMNTH and ZCALYEAR), then it should not allow user to generate the report. It should give a message or popup and return to the selection screen for getting the value for the input variable. Basically, it should get input for atleast one variable.
Please help me in this issue.
Regards,
Yokesh Kumar.

Hi All,
I have written the below code for my requirement.
when 'zcalday' or 'zcalmnth' or 'zcalyear'.
      DATA: LOC_VAR_RANGE LIKE RRRANGEEXIT,
                  count type i.
      IF I_STEP = 3.
        count = 0.
        LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE WHERE VNAM = 'zcalday' or VNAM = 'zcalmnth' or VNAM = 'zcalyear'.
          IF LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW is initial.
            count = count + 1.
          ENDIF.
        ENDLOOP.
        if count EQ 3.
          CALL FUNCTION 'RRMS_MESSAGE_HANDLING'
            EXPORTING
            I_CLASS = 'RSBBS'
            I_TYPE = 'I'
            I_NUMBER = '000'
            I_MSGV1 = 'Please give inout for atleast one varialbe''.
            RAISE no_replacement.
         endif.
      ENDIF.
Is there any fault in the below code? Please let me know if there is anything to correct...

How to prevent error message for material description in MDG material detail screen, when user click on check action

Dear Experts,
I have a requirement for making material description as non mandetory in change request view of mdg material screen.
I have done that using field usage in get data method of feeder classes, but still message is displaying.
This message 'Material description is mandatory is displaying with check action only, but not with save or submit after i anhance field property as not mandetory.
How to prevent error message for material description in MDG material detail screen, when user click on check action.
Thanks
Sukumar

Hello Sukumar
In IMG activity "Configure Properties of Change Request Step", you can completely deactivate the reuse area checks (but will then loose all other checks of the backend business logic as well).
You can also set the error severity of the checks from Error to Warning (per CR type, not per check).
Or you provide a default value for the material description, e.g. by implementing the BAdI USMD_RULE_SERVICE.

Use two indicators for the same variable in two different VIs

hello, I want to use two indicators for the same variable in two different VIs running at the same time
should I use global variables?? I want to avoid because I have lot of variables and it would takes too much memory,I tried with this code but the value of the second indicator is not updated
I tried to use the queue and it works but the problem is as i said previously that i have many variables shoud I use a queue for each one??

Syntax for using a variable in an equation.

Hi all,
Simple question here. What is tha appropriate syntax for using a variable in a calculation equation. Specifically, I am taking an established curve fitting equation from my channels and trying to calculate it over a lineargenerated data set to extend the curve beyond the original data sample. Here is the small portion of script I have that will not work. Thanks for any help.
dim a,b,c
a = Data.Root.ChannelGroups(5).Channels("air consumption formula").Properties("ResultApprAnsatzCoef1").Value
b = Data.Root.ChannelGroups(5).Channels("air consumption formula").Properties("ResultApprAnsatzCoef2").Value
c = Data.Root.ChannelGroups(5).Channels("air consumption formula").Properties("ResultApprAnsatzCoef3").Value
Call Calculate("Ch(""[5]/Air Consumption LG"")= ""a"" + Ch(""[5]/LinearGenerated"")*""b""+""c""*ch(""[5]/LinearGenerated"")^2")

Hi Gloorious,
I am using diadem script. In my example above, for the equation, if I substitue a,b,and c with numerical values, the script runs just fine and the formula executes as desired. Is there a way to place the variables there instead as I have tried to do (I was hoping it was just a syntax issue) or do I have to approach it a completely different way?
This script will execute just fine:
Call Calculate("Ch(""[5]/Air Consumption LG"")= 4 + Ch(""[5]/LinearGenerated"")*5+6*ch(""[5]/LinearGenerated"")^2")
but this will not:
dim a,b,c
a = Data.Root.ChannelGroups(5).Channels("air consumption formula").Properties("ResultApprAnsatzCoef1").Value
b = Data.Root.ChannelGroups(5).Channels("air consumption formula").Properties("ResultApprAnsatzCoef2").Value
c = Data.Root.ChannelGroups(5).Channels("air consumption formula").Properties("ResultApprAnsatzCoef3").Value
Call Calculate("Ch(""[5]/Air Consumption LG"")= ""a"" + Ch(""[5]/LinearGenerated"")*""b""+""c""*ch(""[5]/LinearGenerated"")^2")

Value for user-exit variable is invalid

Hi Gurus,
My Value for a Fiscal Year Prd returns a invalid value for the 12th month of each year( for Example 12/2004, returns the error "Value 200313 for User-exit variable is invalid.
This is the code that is being used.
*Rolling 12 months for entered month
when 'ZCALM12'.
 clear: v_mth, v_yr.
 REFRESH E_T_RANGE.
 CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
 LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
 WHERE VNAM = 'ZCALMON'.
 exit.
 endloop.
 v_yr = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW+0(4) - 1.
 v_mth = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW+4(2) + 1.
 L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
 L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'BT'.
 concatenate v_yr v_mth into L_S_RANGE-LOW.
 L_S_RANGE-HIGH = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW.
 APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Ravi,
when 'ZCALM12'.
clear: v_mth, v_yr.
REFRESH E_T_RANGE.
CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
WHERE VNAM = 'ZCALMON'.
exit.
endloop.
-->> Here, you are not checking any thing. On which logic you are reducing year by one and increasing month by 1..?
v_yr = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW+0(4) - 1.
v_mth = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW+4(2) + 1.
-->>IF month is 200512 you will get output from above code is : please check.
v_yr = 2005 - 1 = 2004
v_mth = 12 +1 = 13.
L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'BT'.
concatenate v_yr v_mth into L_S_RANGE-LOW.
L_S_RANGE-HIGH = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW.
APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
Try to debug the code by keeping break point after When. and execute the report, you will be debugging mode.
Hope it Helps

Cannot determine a value for an exit variable in the Formula fn w/p empty

Hi All,
We have an exit variable Z_EX_AR_VAR, the would read a hierarchy node input variable (Z_HN_AREA), which is furthur based on a hierarchy input variable (Z_HR_AREA), and wouuld return the first leaf of it.
We have implemented a input ready query based on this exit variable and it is getting the first node and is input ready and saves the data to the database.
It works well in the query when we have filtered the characteristic with the hier and hier node and the exit variables.
We need to use the same value to be used in the Fox function.
As per the requirement, the Fox function has to process the zero (empty) records.
So, we have customized formula function to process emptry records.
And in the function of type formula function that processes empty records, we have used the following statement.
DATA AR type ZAREA.
AR = VARI ( Z_HN_AREA, HIENM=Z_HR_AREA, 1).
We are getting the following error message:
Cannot determine a value for the variable Z_HN_AREA.
Planning function ended with errors.
What is that we are doing wrong here. Is it with the 'Process Empty Records' function that cannot read the variable.
How come this variable is working in the query and it is not working in the FOX.
We have done the variable to variable binding in the WAD also. Still the same problem.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
- Shashi
Thanks in '

Hi All,
Michael Wolf from SAP confirmed that we cannot use VARiable read functions in the customized Formula function that processes the zero (empty records) as he spoke to SAP AG about the issue.
Hence we have made a work around by creating a valid record using a dummy key figure in the Custom Formula function that processes empty records so that in the next step, the regular Formula function would get executed, where we could access the variable values by using VARV, VARI functions.
Thanks,
- Shashi
