Dynamic Variable - Time/Date

I am trying to update a standard query and make it less manually intensive. The issue at hand is that the way the query and data is structured, we need to go into the query each quarter and then add another quarter column at the end.
I am not sure how to write the query using a dynamic date variable that we can add which would automatically pull the trailing 12 quarters data, without having to manually change the query columns.

Here's the SQL. I broke it up into modules so you can see what each step does.
TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, DAY_OF_QUARTER(CURRENT_DATE)*-1,CURRENT_DATE) gives you last day of previous quarter.
TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY,1, TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, DAY_OF_QUARTER(CURRENT_DATE)*-1,CURRENT_DATE)) gives you first day of current quarter.
TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_QUARTER,-12, TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY,1, TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, DAY_OF_QUARTER(CURRENT_DATE)*-1,CURRENT_DATE))) gives you 12 quarters ago.
Use the last SQL statement as a filter in your query using the operator "greater than or equal to" and you will get all the dates from 12 quarters ago to current date.

  • Dynamic variable Time for Select

    Hi,
    I try to develop some scripts but always I have the same problem , when I try to put in a Select instruction the variable Time, it doesn´t work correctly (for example):
    *SELECT(%example%,"ID","TIME","[ID]='%TIME_SET%' ")
    It doesn´t read correctly the variable Time_Set.
    Have you got any idea to try to do selects using dynamic variable?
    Thanks for all.

    Hi,
    Dynamic variables like %TIME_SET% do not interact very well with the compiled default logic (LGX files) when it is run after a data send. If you look at the Default.LGX file, you will notice that your *SELECT statement does not appear there because that *SELECT statement has already been compiled. That is why the logic works when it is run via the debugger (because the LGF file is getting executed at run time) and it does not work when it is run via a data send (because the LGX is being executed).
    What you will need to do is:
    1. Create a another logic file (for example: Calculation1.LGF) and copy the text from the Default.LGF to this new logic file.
    2.  Place the following text in the Default.LGF file:
    *RUNLOGIC
    *LOGIC=Calculation1.LGF
    *ENDRUNLOGIC
    3. Validate and save the Default.LGF file
    Now try running the logic after a data send and see if that works.
    Good luck,
    John

  • Dynamic variant - time variable

    Hello!
    I want to create a variant for an IDoc housekeeping program (rbdmani2) and I want to save the following in a program variant:
    For the current date (I have managed to use a dynamic variable for this) and IDocs created in the past hour, i.e. the select option for Creation time should be "from"='current time-1hour' and "to"='current time'.
    How can I express current time minus 1 hour and the current time respectively?
    Please advice. Thanks!
    ::Ellen

    hi,
    You can't perform the dynamic calculation on the TIME selection fields. That is possible only for DATE fields. So you may have to write a custom wrapper program with same selection screen as RBDMANI2 and then call program RBDMANI2 using SUBMIT from your custom program.
    In your custom program, you can set the time values in the Initialization block as
    S_TIME-low = sy-uzeit - 60.
    s_time-high = sy-uzeit.
    In the variant you are going to create, for the time field select as P - "Save Field without values". This way the values maintained in the initialization blcok won't be overwritten by the variant. Hoep this helps
    But you still need to consider the issue raised by Rob for the past midnight run scenario. Whatever we do, we can't handle the midnight scenario, unless you want to break it as two runs, one for prior to midnight and another for after midnight. This can be possible by putting some logic in the custom program to check time and call the RBDMANI2 twice.

  • Dynamic load vs time data issue

    Let me start off by saying that I am very new to labview...
    I am tryng to gather data from a load cell.  I can see the force plot on my front panel and can set it to display time & date on the x axis, but my problem lies in extracting that data to a file.
    The .lvm file I save to successfully shows the force values in the second column, but gives me all zeroes in the first column, i.e. I don't get any time output.
    Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated!

  • Using Global Variables in Data Quality Address Cleanse Transforms

    I am currently developing in Data Services 12.2.
    I am trying to dynamically populate the List Owner information in the option tabs of the USA Regulatory Address Cleanse by using global variables.  It populates the 3553 with the variable name instead of the value assigned.
    According to the Technical Manual, it is possible to use global variables in Data Quality Address Cleanse transforms:
    However, you can use substitution parameters in all places where global variables are supported, for example:
    Query transform WHERE clauses
    Mappings
    SQL transform SQL statement identifiers
    Flat-file options
    User-defined transforms
    Address cleanse transform options
    Matching thresholds
    Does anyone know if it is possible to use global variables in the option tab of the Address Cleanse; if so, can you describe how it is done?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rick

  • Problem with currency translation and variable time ref. with 0FISCPER

    Hello,
    We have a problem with a currency conversion with a variable time reference (as iobject we use 0fiscper)
    We created a currency conversion for several key fig:
    Our settings:
    Exchange rate Type: EURX
    dynamic ex rate determination
    Source cur from datarecord
    Fixed Target Curr (EUR)
    Variable time ref.: End of Period
    Special Infoobject: 0fiscper
    When we run the DTP we get the following error:
    <i>Enter rate GBP / EUR rate type EURX for 00.00.0000 in the system settings.</i>
    ending the DTP in a message type X.
    In table TCURR and T009/T009B all necessary information is available.
    After debugging the function module, it looks like the created date (created from the FISCPER) is set to 00.00.0000. This results in the error above.
    Does anybody have experience with this error and more important know how to solve it?
    We also have a 0FISCYEAR available but in the TCURR table al rates are defined per end of the month. When trying to use 0FISCYEAR as InfoObject in the variable time reference, a diffrent error occurs:  Enter rate GBP / EUR rate type EURX for 01.01.1001 in the system settings. While  the 0FISCPER is 2001001.
    Is there a bug in the function module? (couldn't find a SAP note)
    We are working with BI 7.0 and SP12
    Best regards
    Steven

    Please can you give more detail on how you were able to resolve this issue?  How did you add 0fiscper to the transformation?  I am on BW 3.5, how do I fix this same issue on it?  Please help, this is urgent.

  • 11.1.1.6.11  /  Essbase Substitution Variables / RPD Init Block / Dynamic Variables

    11.1.1.6.11  /  Essbase Substitution Variables / RPD Init Block / Dynamic Variables
    How do I update the Init Block which is populated with the Essbase Substitution variables.   This is dynamically created the first time I import an Essbase cube and is populated with the Substitution variables when it is first imported into the RPD.   If later on new Substitution variables are added, they are not being reflected in the Init Block or its dynamic variables.  I have done the re-import of the data source with no change to the Init Block Dynamic Variables.   How do I get these new Substitution variables imported?
    It appears that the only way is to delete it from the Physical Layer, however this deletes any changes I have made to Cube in the physical layer.

    So delete it from the Physical Layer, change the Substitution Variables associated with the cube.   Import it back into the physical layer.   It does NOT delete existing Init Block Dynamic variables that no longer exist as Substitution variables.  

  • Passing Session variable of DATE data type to opaque view filter

  • Dynamic creation of date in selection variant

    Hi All,
    I have a Z program for updating a field in BOM item. One of the input field in the report is "Valid From Date". Actually the current date is automatically fetched through a function module and it is defaulted in that field. 
    Our client is using selection variant for ease of use. The problem here is old date in the selection variant  is replacing the current date. I want current date to be created automatically during insertion of variant also. How can i solve this problem. Is there any selection variable inside the variant for dynamic creation of Date?
    Thanks
    Sankar

    As I know there is no setting for this. For any std or Z report variant function with L should act same way...anyway you discuss with your ADABer.
    See the help for variables
    Selection Variables                                                                               
    The following three types of selection variables are currently          
        supported:                                                                               
    o   Table variables from TVARV                                          
            You should use these variables if you want to store static          
            information. TVARV variables are proposed by default.                                                                               
    o   Dynamic date calculations:                                          
            To use these variables, the corresponding selection field must have 
            type 'D' (date). If the system has to convert from type T to type D 
            when you select the selection variables, the VARIABLE NAME field is 
            no longer ready for input. Instead, you can only set values using   
            the input help.                                                     
            The system currently supports the following dynamic date            
            calculations:                                                       
            Today's date                                                        
           From beginning of the month to today                               
           Today's date +/- x days                                            
           First quarter ????                                                 
           Second quarter ????                                                
           Third quarter ????                                                 
           Fourth quarter ????                                                
           Today's date - xxx, today's date + yyy                             
           Previous month                                                                               
    o   User-specific variables                                            
           Prerequisite: The selection field must have been defined in the    
           program using the MEMORY ID pid addition. User-specific values,    
           which can be created either from the selection screen or from the  
           user maintenance transaction, are placed in the corresponding      
           selection fields when the user runs the program.                                                                               
    The SELECTION OPTIONS button is only supported for date variables that 
       fill select-options fields with single values.                         
    i.e means we can do that with D also.

  • Detect if time/date browse button was used

    Hi,
    I have a position control vi for indexing elements inside array and displaying corresponding time and date. I have large number of control signals inside my block, but I have removed all irrelevant blocks and signal for this discussion. I have replaced all unnecessary controls with constant values, so don't waste time analyzing it.   
    If you take a look at my vi, you will see Star/Stop control, Position control and a time stamp indicator (Waveform time) with a time/date browse button from another time stamp control. I have all desired functionalities, but I have problem when using browse button for setting up time. I can't set my time two times in a row at same value because I'm comparing "Last entered time stamp" value with current one just entered. I would not like to completely change my blocks because I'm using a lot of property nodes and variables inside my project. I'm just looking for a way to figure out if time/date browse button has been pressed so I could jump to desired point in my recorded waveform.   
    Solved!

    I can't change Waveform Time Indicator to a Control because that would make other controls much complex (not shown in attached vi)
    I have modified my block to the simplest form. I have changed some control names.
    There is now only one problem - how can I detect if user has pressed time/date browse button? I'm not interested at this point which value has been entered.
    I need to replace User has entered value in  Jump to time/date with some kind of Boolean logic or event case.

    I've got a handful of large tdms  files (9-18 million data points) collected with LabView that I need to extract elements of, and export as a text file, with the time data as a string.
    I'm using DataFileLoadSelect and the Register option and then DataBlCopy to bring in a chunk of data at a time, but I'm having to explicitly convert each time value from a LabView timebase (1/1/1904) to the DIAdem timebase (1/1/0000), not to mention the offset,  before writing the date-time as a text string - this really slows the process down. 
    I't strikes me that DIAdem(11.1) has got to have a way to read LabView timestamps correctly, but I'm a DIAdem novice, so any suggestions would be helpful. And no, I don't have LabView installed locally, so using a LabView vi is not an option for me.
    Thanks,
    Eric
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    WfmToDateWfm works great, but there is a bug in the code if you want to use DataFileLoadRed and your starting point is not at the beginning of the file.  There is a provision in WfmToDateWfm to handle the offset, but it's not hooked up:
    OffStartTime = ChnPropValGet(Channel, "wf_start_offset") ChnDeltaTime = ChnPropValGet(Channel, "wf_increment")
    RelStartTime = 24*3600*(Trunc(ChnStartTime) + 693958 + Abs(Frac(ChnStartTime)))
    To make WfmToDateWfm work with an offset, simly add the variable OffStartTime to the RHS of RelStartTime

  • Dynamic variable names and invalid_character_err

    I'm neither an expert at structure notation nor dynamic
    variable naming conventions and would appreciate any help with the
    following. Thanks!
    This code works fine.
    <cfset idx="123">
    <cfset form.product[idx]=StructNew()>
    <cfparam name="form.product[idx].product_nm"
    default="Raspberry Jam">
    <cfform name="data_entry" method="post" format="flash"
    height="525" width="675" action="formdump.cfm">
    <cfformgroup type="tabnavigator" height="400"
    width="650">
    <cfformgroup type="page" label="Product #idx#">
    <cfinput name="static_form_name" type="text"
    label="Product" value="#form.product[idx].product_nm#" height="350"
    width="600" readonly="yes">
    </cfformgroup>
    </cfformgroup>
    </cfform>
    The following code results in the following error:
    "ORG.W3C.DOM.DOMEXCEPTION ERROR. Message: INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: An
    invalid or illegal XML character is specified." The only change is
    in the "name" attribute of the <cfinput> tag:
    <cfset idx="123">
    <cfset form.product[idx]=StructNew()>
    <cfparam name="form.product[idx].product_nm"
    default="Raspberry Jam">
    <cfform name="data_entry" method="post" format="flash"
    height="525" width="675" action="formdump.cfm">
    <cfformgroup type="tabnavigator" height="400"
    width="650">
    <cfformgroup type="page" label="Product #idx#">
    <!--- Change value of name attribute from
    "static_form_name" to "product[idx].product_nm" --->

    Thanks for the info. Knowing what WON’T work is
    helpful!
    Here’s what I’m trying to do. I’m rewriting
    one of my apps, switching out conventional HTML form controls for
    <cfform> controls in Flash format. Many of the existing forms
    in my app are for updating data contained in a central database.
    When such a form is rendered to the screen, each form control is
    pre-populated with existing data. All form controls are named
    dynamically based upon the unique ID of the record being updated.
    Here’s a streamlined but typical example:
    <!--- User selected projects 14, 15, 16, and 17 for
    update. Get existing project data. --->
    <cfquery name="get_project_detail"
    datasource="#application.DataSource#">
    SELECT project_oid_nbr, project_nm
    FROM project_table
    WHERE project_oid_nbr IN (14,15,16,17)
    ORDER BY project_oid_nbr
    </cfquery>
    <!--- Initialize the project_nm form control. Form names
    are dynamic, based upon get_project_detail.project_oid_nbr. --->
    <cfloop query="get_project_detail">
    <cfparam name="form.project_nm_#project_oid_nbr#"
    default="#get_project_detail.project_nm#">
    </cfloop>
    <!--- Create HTML form control. --->
    <table>
    <cfloop query="get_project_detail">
    <tr>
    <td>
    <cfoutput>
    Project #project_oid_nbr#:
    <input type="text" name="project_nm_#project_oid_nbr#"
    value="#Evaluate("form.project_nm_#project_oid_nbr#")#">
    </cfoutput>
    </td>
    </tr>
    </cfloop>
    </table>
    This has been working just fine. However, I’m wondering
    if using the Evaluate() function is the most efficient way to go.
    Therefore I wanted to use structure notation to avoid the
    Evaluate() function, but as mentioned in my original post, this
    naming convention won’t work with <cfform> tags.
    Any suggestions as to the most efficient way to get the same
    result while still using <cfform> tags? Thanks so much!

  • SE61 - Dynamic Variable

    All,
    I had created a Dialog text using transaction SE61 that contains a dynamic variable
    Data Sheet not printed for Sales Order Number &WA_OUTPUT-VBELV&
    This diagonose object i am calling in function module POPUP_TO_CONFORM
    like
      call function 'POPUP_TO_CONFIRM'
        exporting
          titlebar              = text-t01
          diagnose_object       = p_dobject     "<<==== Here
    But the issue while calling the function module i am not getting the dynamic variable &WA_OUTPUT-VBELV&
    in the display is it showing like the following
    Data Sheet not printed for Sales Order
    Number &WA_OUTPUT-VBELV&   "<=Here i need in display the sales order to be displayed

    Hi
    Yes I've understood what you mean
    When I've spoken about sapscript and driven program, I means the sapscript and program manage the long text (dialog text created by SE61).
    In your situation those elements are not used, because the text is directly shown on popup, so the variable inserted in the text (it's usually defined in the main program) has to assigned the PARAMETER table ( I thought you defined the variable in the program calling popup).
    So try this:
    PARAMETER-PARAM = WA_OUTPUT-VBELV.
    PARAMETER-VALUE = <document number>.
    It works
