Difference between * and ALL field values?

Greetings to all,
Here is an intresting question. For a particular authorization object of a role, I see that it has a field value of ALL for a specific field. Is this same as * or is there any subtle difference between the two. This is in ECC 5.0.I would greatly appreciate a discussion. Thanks.

i have also seen the value ALL in some roles in my org...
Object:C_PRPS_USR (PS: Model for User Field Authorization for WBS elements)
Field:USR10_1 (User field with 10 characters)
Value: ALL
If ALL means value ALL then what is the significance of it in the above field?
Pls throw some light...
thankx
Sachin

Difference between and != operators

Hi All,
My question may be very basic to you all
Please let me know the difference between <> and != operators
Thanks in advance

user609996 wrote:
Sorry to all,
the operator "<>" is not printed
I want the difference between "<>" and "!=" operators.And as you've already been told there is no difference between the <> and != operators. They mean the same thing, but are just different representations of it.
The only difference is that the Oracle forum can't display <> if it is just typed in normally. To show it we have to type &lt and &gt with a ";" after each.

GL trial balance and All inventory value reports

Hi,
in oracle applications 11i the inventory super user claims that the results of the following two reports:
GL trial balance
and
All inventory value report
for the period MAY-09 DO NOT match.
How can i investigate this issue?

I haven't worked on PPAC but I assume its only a cost method to build the cost. Once costs are build GL entry happens in the same way.
You said that you first freeze the cost and then run subledger update report.
Once you freeze the cost, what cost do you see for product x?
Once you produce 20 TONS output; subledger update should generate entry as follows:
Cr WIP: cost*20
Dr INV: cost*20
Now you mentioned about title ALC (GL Allocation). I haven't seen that title.
Also at the period end we need to run revaluation of inventory for STND method, I am not sure if the same is required for PPAC. Try performing that in test instance to see accounting entries generated.
I am sorry if I confused you or didn't understand your question. I have used mostly worked with STND method and just trying to extend my experience with PPAC.

Difference between & and && operater and difference between and

what is difference between & and && oprater in java
and what is difference between << and <<< operater

i am sorry i dont know about << ,<<<< There isn't a <<< operator.
However I presume the operator being referred to is >>>
They are bit shifting operators.
In fact its the [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/bitwise.html]very next page of the tutorial linked to above.
<< == left shift

Difference between " " and ' ' in oracle

Hi
What is the difference between " " and ' ' in oracle

Generally, single quotes ' are used as string delimiters. Double quotes are NOT string delimters in SQL, but are used to preserve the precise representation of what's enclosed - for instance, "abc" would be recognized as lowercase in situations where SQL would automatically translate them into upper case. Thus, something like
SQL> select dummy as "dummy"
2 from dual;
d
Xmeans to select the dummy column but preserve the name in lower case where normally the 'd' in the column name (cut off) would be 'D'
Using empty strings to represtent nulls has already been discussed on this thread. Remember that spaces are NOT nulls. I personally find the replace-null-with-space method a bit clunky, but a lot of mainframe-to-oracle conversions use it.

Difference between BSEG amount field and FAGLFLEXA/FAGLFLEXT Amount fields.

Hi experts,
   We have a newly SAP instance with the New GL activated. However, when i compared between BSEG and the FAGLFLEXA/FAGLFLEXT tables, I found a difference in the length of the transaction amounts.
BSEG
DMBTR     DMBTR     CURR     13     2     Amount in Local Currency
WRBTR     WRBTR     CURR     13     2     Amount in Document Currency
FAGLFLEXA/FAGLFLEXT
TSL     VTCUR12     CURR     23     2     Value in Transaction Currency
HSL     VLCUR12     CURR     23     2     Value in Local Currency
KSL     VGCUR12     CURR     23     2     Value in Group Currency
OSL     VOCUR12     CURR     23     2     Value in Another Currency
Is there a reason for this difference? and any config that needs to be perform to synchronise the difference?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Jason,
Please run report TFC_COMPARE_VZ in SE38/SA38 and compare the difference. If there is any difference ONLY SAP can correct this. Should you notice any difference, please raise an OSS.
Hope this helps.

Difference between the amount fields

hi
I am trying to find the difference between two amount fieldds and capture them in a column but it results 0 for all the values.
Please help
Mondy

Hi,
Once check the properties of your Calculated Field. Better to use the Funstion Mod while calculating the difference. Also check if you are Grouping these Amount using any Char in the report.

Whats the difference between and Album and a Smart Album

OK, just upgraded.... So, whats the difference between an Album and a Smart Album?
Also, I like to organise my stuff, so if I create a folder for each year, and then a project within that year, why is it that the photos are always in both - and then again if I chose to create an album specific to a project, they are there again.
So it might look:
          Folder (2012 Equine Photography)
               Project - Specific Events
                    Album - Big Barn Dressage May
Does this mean the individual photo is stored 3 times and using 3 times the space?
Thanks guys!

No. Conceptually the Master only lives lives in the single (time based) Project you import it into. Albums are just collections of pointers that point to images in various Projects.
"Big Barn Dressage May" could be a Project, but only if it is only one day and a limited number of image files; otherwise an Album. "2012 Equine Photography" should be an album or a Folder of Albums. "Specific Events" could be an Album or a Folder of Albums.
A Project should not be used as a Folder.
From an earlier post of mine:
Folders are indeed flexible organizational tools but IMO often overused. Folders can effectively hide contents from view and therefore require users to remember how folders are nested and what is inside them. Folders were the only way to deal with single-original film, but are IMO limiting to image database thinking.
The way I look at it conceptually:
Aperture is a database (DB), and each image file lives in one Project.
Albums are just collections of Pointers that point to individual image files living in one or more Projects. Since they just contain pointers, albums can be created or deleted at will without affecting image files. Very powerful. And Albums of pointers take up almost zero space, so they are fast and do not make the Library size grow.
Keywords can be applied to every image separately or in batches. Keywords are hugely powerful and largely obviate the need for folders. Not that we should never use folders, just that we should use folders only when useful organizationally - - after first determining that using keywords and albums is not a better approach.
As one example imagine the keyword "flowers." Every image of a 100,000 images Library that has some flowers in it has the keyword flowers. Then say we want to put flowers in an ad, or as background for a show of some kind, or to print pix for a party, or even just to look for an image for some other reason. We can find every flower image in a 100k-image database in 2 seconds, and in another few seconds create an Album called "Flowers" that points to all of those individual images.
Similarly all family pix can have a keyword "family" and all work pix can have a key word "work." Each individual pic may have any number of keywords. Such pic characteristics (work, family, flowers, etc.) should not be organized via folders.
So by using keywords and albums we can have instant access to every image everywhere, very cool. And keywords and albums essentially take up no space in the database.
Another approach is to use a folder "Family" for family pix, a folder "Flowers" for flowers pix and another folder "Work" for work pix. IMO such folders usage is a very poor approach to using an images database (probably stemming from old paper or film work practices). Note that one cannot put an image with family in a field of flowers at a work picnic in all three folders; but it is instant with keywords.

Difference between two amount fields

Hi,
I have got two amount fields and I need to find the difference between those two.
They are in below formats
1.800,00
18,00
Is there any FM to find the difference.
Thanks,
ABAPer.

What if the two values are type c? So the commas etc. are really in the value. He'll have to convert to type P first, then subtract.
Again - it's programming that solves this - not "function module". How do you think function modules get written in the first place - by programming!

Difference between ';' and '/' in the SQL scripts

Hi All,
Could anyone please let me know the difference between placing ';' and '/' in the sql scripts.
I am placing couple of insert statements in a textfile with .sql extension and running it from the sql prompt.
Which one( ';' or '/') should be keep at the end of each statement in the script.
SQL> SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL;
SYSDATE
12-MAY-13
SQL> SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL
2 /
SYSDATE
12-MAY-13Thanks,

My doubt is how it understands or the difference b/w the below two view statements one with ';' and another one with '/'. Sorry if i am unclear.They are identical in SQL*Plus. These characters mean "+send entered/buffered text to Oracle to parse and execute+".
So - SQL*Plus sends "+create or replace view ev1 as select ename , sal from emp+" to the server (via a cursor execute):
create or replace view ev1 as select ename , sal from emp
/And again, SQL*Plus sends "+create or replace view ev1 as select ename , sal from emp+" to the server (via a cursor execute):
create or replace view ev2 as select ename , sal from emp;These are identical statements.
As I mentioned in the post I referred you to. Oracle also uses the ";" character in the PL/SQL language. So when you enter PL/SQL code in SQL*Plus, you do not want SQL*Plus to send each line of PL/SQL code to the server. Instead, you want it to wait till the last statement has been entered and then send the the whole block to the server to be parsed and executed,
SQL*Plus has a basic parser itself. It uses that to figure out what you have entered, and whether a ";" you enter is an instruction from you to it, to send the text to the server - or when you enter a ";", it is part of the text for the server and that it should not react to it.
Thus when you enter the following, SQL*Plus recognises that you are using the SQL language, and as this language does not use ";" characters, a ";" character when entered means that it needs to send the text to the server to be parsed and executed:
SQL> select * from emp;
// ; character instructs SQL*Plus to create and execute cursor "select * from emp"When you enter PL/SQL code, SQL*Pus recognises that and knows that ";" characters entered indicates end-of-statement for PL//SQL and that it should not act on that,
SQL> begin
2 null;
3 end;
4 /
// SQL*Plus ignores the ";" character - and the "/" character is used to
// instruct SQL*Plus to create and execute cursor"begin<LF>null;><LF>end;"

Would you happen to know the difference between these two fields from FI-GL

Hi,
Would you happen to know the differnce between these two field
i. UMSOL from 0fi gl6 and DMSOL from 0fi_ gl_4
ii. UMHAB from 0fi gl6 and DMHAB from 0fi_ gl_4
iii.In a test case on a system, where I was looking for the same values in comparison, I am getting inconsistent data.
which key figures in 0fi gl6 are equivalent to which in 0fi_ gl_4
Any hints
Thnx
Edited by: AmandaBaah on Jul 29, 2009 2:47 AM

Hi Amanda,
They are both very different datasources. 0FI_GL_6 is the General Ledger: Transaction Figures which fetched data from the GLT0 table while 0FI_GL_4 fetched data from the BSEG and BKPF tables and fetched the line items from the general ledger.
You can refer the following links for more info

FormCalc Formula to tell the difference between two time fields if they are populated - Help please

Hi,
I have a cell (TotalTime1) that references two other time formatted cells (Start1 and Finish 1).
The below formula is intended to tell the difference between the Start and Finish time if they are populated.
I had it working without the HasValue condition but the formula was calculating when there was no value in Start1 and Finish1 (due to time format).
This is the code I do have, it says there is an error near the last line; I am sorry if I post this in the wrong manner, I have not posted on this forum before but here goes:
if (HasValue (Finish1) and HasValue (Start1)) then if (Time2Num(Start1.formattedValue, "HH:MM") < Time2Num (Finish1.formattedValue, "HH:MM")) then Abs (Time2Num(Start1.formattedValue, "HH:MM") - Time2Num(Finish1.formattedValue, "HH:MM")) / (60 * 60 * 1000) else 24 - Abs (Time2Num(Finish1.formattedValue, "HH:MM") - Time2Num(Start1.formattedValue, "HH:MM")) / (60 * 60 * 1000) endif
Any help would be appreciated.
