Display Variable Values in 7.0

There was an option in BW 3.x to display variable values using technical settings -> display -> variable values. I do not see this option in 7.0!? Showing the variable values is a great way to figure out whether or not a customer exit variables are working as expected. Could someone please help me with finding this option in the BEx analyzer? Points will be assigned for useful posts? Thanks for your time.

Dear Sameer,
As I understand from your question that you want to debug whether the customer exit variable logic is workinig fine or not. For that you can set a session breakpoint for the variable exit in CMOD. Now use the transaction rsrt to run the query. This will take you to the debug mode and here you can see the variable values and whether the logic is performing as expected or not.

Prem.

Thanks for your help.

<object>
         <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
         <param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM"/>
         <param name="NAME" value="TEXTELEMENTS_1"/>

         <param name="ELEMENT_NAME_1" value="Z_CP_018"/>
         ITEM:            TEXTELEMENTS_1
</object>
as the other poster mentioned the variable name has to be in upper case.
if only_values = 'X' you will just get the value other wise
you will get something like below.
variable description = variable value

Display variable values selected as header in WAD

Hi All Gurus,
I need to display the variable values entered for running the report as a header to the report being displayed.
I'm using NW2004s BI and standard template 0analysis_pattern. Is there a way I can display the variable values as header info.
Thanks in Advance
Sid

Hi Sid,
You may need to make a copy of this template, or create your own and use the Information Field web item:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/47/96784226d1d242e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
You can set this to display the Variables (VARIABLES_VISIBLE)
Hope this helps...

WebInterface Select Variable Value

Hi,
In the Web Interface for the component Select Variable value,if there is planning level mentioned in the attributes.Does that make any difference to the Variable value.
Points will be assigned.
Thanks,
Subha

Hi,
If you do not add planning level the text of the value of variable will not be displayed. For eg. if your variable is on Cost Center and if you have included planning level then when you display variable value in web interface, the text can also be displayed along with the value if planning level is mentioned in the properties.

Displaying the value of an variable on the stage

I have managed to display the values contained in string variables on stage, and I am happy with that, however when I wish to display the value of an int and convert it to a string as one is supposed to do the output to the stage just calls it [class int] and does not give its value. any suggestions?
My rogram contains a stage at frame 1 which displays a word. The user must input a word. Frame 30 then displays the word which was displayed and the word input by the user. That all works fine. But the value of the variable NumberRight, which has been assigned to that variable will only display as [class int] without showing its value. (even though I have converet it to a string using the .to string function you see below).
My code is as follows;
trace( "The number correct was" + NumberRight); //This works fine in the output window and shows the value of the variable as NumberRight [class int]1 (showing the value to be 1)
outputText.appendText("in/"+textAtIN); //this works fine displaying the word presented and word input by user as in/in
outputText.appendText( NumberRight.toString(     )); //here lies the problem as it just displays [class int] and nothing else.
Yes I have managed to overcome that problem it was some code on the first frame, please excuse, however, now, is there any way to remove the [class int] bit from the displays, I wish to have the results as a clear copy of the results so that they can be printed out, without [class int] all over the place?

Hi Ned thanks for that. Yes I had accidently created blank spaces in the String() argument. (wanted to check if there was a subsequent difference in display and forgot to return them to normal ...Sorted )
Your next suggestion has eliminated the [class int] but I get a value now of 0.
My code on the first frame for a correct response for example is;
function keyPressedIN(event:KeyboardEvent):void
          if (event.keyCode == 13)/*Normally,this will move straight on to the next frame-
          recording a correct response and all that that implies in terms of scores etc. But now I have re directed it to Frame 30 to check are the variables working properly*/
                    //insert code for correct responses vowels etc.
                    VowelI = VowelI+1;
                    NumberRight = NumberRight +1;
                    stage.focus = stage;
                    //There is no need to display the text box as this is a correct response.
                    pupilsResponseIN.visible = false;
                    mainText.visible = false;
                    gotoAndPlay(30);//at the moment this takes me to the display frame to check if all is ok
On the first frame when the user say hits the Return key my code assigns the value of +1 to the variable; eg
NumberRight=NumberRight+1;
and the value of +1 to the value of VowelI
VowelI=VowelI+1
At Frame 30 the code is as follows;
stop();
trace( "The number correct was"+ NumberRight);
outputText.appendText("in/"+textAtIN);
outputText.appendText( "\n");
outputText.appendText("Vowels Correct ="+(int(VowelI).toString()));
outputText.appendText( "\n");
outputText.appendText("TotalCorrect="+(int(NumberRight).toString()));
//outputText.appendText( VowelI.toString());
Now what I am getting is
in/in
Vowels Correct = O
Total Correct = O
Yet the trace (output box) records the Number correct as [class int]1
many years ago I wrote this same program in Authorware using similar code. I am trying to re write it in FlashCS5 using ActionScript 3 and It take days to solve small problems. I notice also that If for example the user of the program makes an error and I record the error as NumberRight =NumberRight -1 the program records it as Total Correct = NaN .
I gave up on this a few months back but I am trying again. I think there must be a better way to do this. Variables do not seem to add up or subtract for me at present. no doubt its me thats got it wrong.

How can I display the value of the Target Currency variable in my query

We have a query which has a key figure set to prompt for a Target Currency at runtime. Because the user did not want the currency displayed in each cell they used the NODIM function to remove it. They do however want to display the Target Currency in a cell within the report. Using Report Designer, I've tried to set up a Text Box to display this value, however, it is not in the list when looking at Constants, Filters or Variables or trying to display it in a Text box. Has anyone found a way to be able to do this?

Hi and thanks for the reply. I should have stated that because this was a validated query, we'd like to do this without modifying the query and thus having to go through another lengthy validation process. That's why we did not go the route of adding Unit to the query but we may have to. Another thing we can do is use a text variable in the headers that displays the currency. That works but, again, it's a query change whereas finding it in Report Designer will not require a query modification.

want to display it in #Name# filed. how can i do that ? I am
getting XML Parsing error from javascript .
Could any one look into this .
Thanks & Regards,
Nataraj G

The first part is right -
1) drag a text element onto the page, at a location in which you want the variable value to be displayed
2) On the left hand bottom page - go to the web item properties for the text element
3) scroll down to the specific properties for the item - in that uncheck the first two check boxes - display general text elements & display static filter values
4) in the next item in the properties (List of text elements) click once on the box where List is written and then clcik on the small browse button that appears.
5) in the window that opens, in the element type field, select variable/variable value as key (as per your requirement) and then under the element ID field type in the technical name of your variable that you want to display.
click ok and save your template and try executing it.
See if this solves your problem.

Wants to display variable as key value in Free Char section of report

Hi All,
I have a variable based on characteristic. When I execute report, I pass value for that variable. And I get text of that variable value, displayed in Free Characteristic section.
Instead of text, I want to display key value there.B'coz many times, texts are ambiguous and quite fictional examples.
I have tried changing 'Display as key' in Business explorer tab of infoobject definition. And in query definition, I already have 'Display as Key'. So I am wondering what else needs to be done for this change.
I will appreciate if someone can help me on this.
Thanks,
Pranali

Hi Pranali,
You can display all variables used in Query in workbook from BEx Menu(Tool bar) -->> Layout --> Display Text eliments --> Variables (you can see two entries for each variable) one for key and one for Text.
Hope it Helps

Retrieve variable value from local Storage and display on canvas

Hi
I'm working on a project that has multiple html files (the projects are split into 12 so 12 different edge projects and im linking them via window.open()). I have a variable that keeps track of correct answers stored in LocalStorage html object. I have managed to get the localStorage variable to increment up by one each time the object is correct however my last step is to get the variable and them display the result on the canvas. I have tried
var outPut localStorage.getItem(' ') method to retrieve the variable then used the set and get method to display the result however it doesn't work. Im not sure if I need a for loop to go though the localStorage and get the elements
Code:
// insert code to be run when the composition is fully loaded here
yepnope({nope:['jquery-ui-1.10.0.custom.min.js','jquery.ui.touch-punch.min.js'],complete: init}); // load the jquery files
sym.setVariable("myScore", 0);
var c = localStorage["myCount"] || 0; //loading from localStorage
function init(){
sym.getSymbol("barLimit").$('scrubber').draggable({start: function(e){
},drag: function(e,ui){ // start: ... // Find original position of dragged image
var leftLimitScrubber = sym.getSymbol('barLimit').$('scrubber').position().left; // position of the scrubber
var rightLimitScrubber = sym.getSymbol('barLimit').$('leftLimit').position().left;
var LimitTwoLeft = sym.getSymbol('barLimit').$('rightLimit').position().left;
if(leftLimitScrubber == rightLimitScrubber){
sym.getSymbol('correctBar1').play('in'); //
sym.getSymbol('nextButton').play('in');
sym.getSymbol('incorrectBar1').play('out'); //
sym.getSymbol('thumbsDown1').play('out'); //
sym.getSymbol('thumbsUp1').play('in'); //
sym.getSymbol('congrats').play('in'); //
localStorage["myCount"] = parseInt(c)+1; //Converting string to number, and then saving it
console.log("numberOfCorrectAnswers", localStorage["myCount"]);
var finalScore = sym.getVariable("myScore");
finalScore = c;
sym.setVariable("myScore", finalScore);
sym.$("Score").html(finalScore);
} else if(leftLimitScrubber == LimitTwoLeft){
sym.getSymbol('incorrectBar1').play('in');
sym.getSymbol('correctBar1').play('out');
sym.getSymbol('thumbsUp1').play('out');
sym.getSymbol('thumbsDown1').play('in');
axis: "x",
containment: "parent"
       //for (var i = 0; i < localStorage.length; i++){ // iterate throught the local storage
         //var getItem = localStorage.getItem(localStorage.key(i));
          //if(getItem == 'numberOfCorrectAnswers' ){
The above is the code for the 12th project in this projects it needs to display the variable inside the object localStorage and display on the canvas.
Any help will mean a lot. Thank You in advance
P.S edge animate has a lot of bugs hard to code in

what you need to do is to create a text box and set a default value of zero. Once that is don't you need a code on the stage which grabs the value form the localStorage object. I used the .text() jquery method to display the value on the canvas. So the zero will be replaced with whatever the value of the localStorage is.
You also need a if statement to check if the localStorage is undefined, if its not then grab the value and display on the canvas.
e.g
var number = localStorage['finalValue']; // for the sake of completeness I had to put this line of code
if( number ! = undefined){ // if not undefined so the object exits then ...
     sym.$(' (text identifier) '). text(number); // note text identifier is the name of the text box you create in edge
} // Done

Selected variable value is different from the displayed value

Hi all,
I have an issue with variable selection in portal. I have a IO - customer which is compounded to source system. So I have soem customers with the same key with different sources. And I have a variable created on customer. For ex - i have 3 customers like below.
SA/1234567
BP/1234567
F5/1234567
1 - And when I search for a customer 1234567 - I find only one customer that is SA/1234567. And IO properties are set to read all the masterdata values and not infoprovider or posted values. - thats issue one - I would like to see all the three and let the user select what ever he wants.
2 - Now when I select SA/1234567 and run the report. It shows me data for F5/1234567 - which is correct data for that customer. But in the template I have a info field web item to display the selected variables on the screen. That info field shows the Customer as BP/1234567 - which is wrong and confusing. I checked the properties of the web item and everything seems ok. So in the variable screen I get a value, the result set if of another value and the variable value that shows in the Info tab is another customer. - Driving me nuts
3 - When I recreate the same scenario in 3.x query - everything works the way they should - this only happens in 7.0 query. What am I missing here??
Any pointer or insight is appreciated - sorry for the long post.
Voodi
Edited by: voodi on Jun 8, 2010 2:26 PM

Sorry - its not how its displaying the values rather what its displaying - it misses on 2 other values from the three - though the Bex setting in IO are set to read all the values from materdata table. And in the query I'm using IO properties. And display settings are ok

Display Variable screen values in BI 7.0

Hi experts,
I want to display the variable values once I execute a Report in BI 7.0
There was a option under Format in Business Explorer menu in BW 3.5 but I dont seem to find that option in BI 7.0
If somebody can point me where exactly I can find it, I would really appreciate that.

Hi zsl05,
You have to choose text web item.
In the filter tab set the filters whose values you would like to display.
Open you are query. Enter the variable values and run.
Select few blank cells in your query.
Select BEx Analyzer menu -
> Design toolbar -
>Insert text.
Now you will see a text box in your query layout.
Double click on it. In the filters tab, select the variables you would like to display.
Again go to BEx Analyzer menu -
> Design toolbar----->exit design mode
Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Sunmit.

Display interval variables value in BeX

Hello Gurus,
I am using Bex BI 7.0 to build my reports. I can't see how to display the value of variable values I have selected in the beginning of the query.
To clarify with an example I want to choose the period from January to March and to display this selection in the report I have built.
The only way I was thinking about was to create a Text variable to display in the title of the query but I noticed it displays only single value and don't manage interval like these.
Is there any other tricks?
Thanks in advance
Massimo

Very good Jaya. I have solved my problem and I rewarded it. The only problem that still remains with this feature is that in a query I use a filtered key figure to obtain cumulated value for period. The "from period" is fixed (january) and the "to period" is given by my period variable.
I noticed that in this case the text variable return me no value. Is there any another trick to manage text variable in filtered key figure like that?

How to display a variable value in WAD?

I am using a replacement path variable to filter a report by project number. While this works fine, the project number is not easily visible (only via Filter -> Display All Filter Values and this only displays the description, not the key).
