Error in syntax FOX Formula

Hello all !!
I have a problem when I execute fox formulas in BPS0 in version 7.0, becuase they don't work.
The company migrated BW-BPS to 7.0 version.
The problem occurs when I execute the formulas in BPS0 in the quality environment, which is working with 7.0 version, but we are using 3.5 version in the productive environment; besides we are working with 7.0 version in BW.
I was wondering if the syntax of the FOX formulas between version is diferrent.....any idea??
I appreciate your help!!!

Error Control on Fox Formula

Hello everybody
I have a problem with a Fox formula. When i chek my formula i have the error

Hi,
I hope the note will work. But still I would test the following:
DATA ZPOIDS1 TYPE I.

DATA ZPOIDS3 TYPE I.
DATA ZPOIDS4 TYPE I.
DATA ZPOIDS5 TYPE I.
DATA ZPOIDS6 TYPE I.
DATA ZPOIDS7 TYPE I.
DATA ZPOIDS8 TYPE I.
DATA ZPOIDS9 TYPE I.
DATA ZPOIDS10 TYPE I.
DATA ZPOIDS11 TYPE I.

ZPOIDS1 = VARV(ZVPOIDS1).
ZPOIDS2 = VARV(ZVPOIDS2).
ZPOIDS3 = VARV(ZVPOIDS2).
ZPOIDS4 = VARV(ZVPOIDS2).
ZPOIDS5 = VARV(ZVPOIDS2).
ZPOIDS6 = VARV(ZVPOIDS2).
ZPOIDS7 = VARV(ZVPOIDS2).
ZPOIDS8 = VARV(ZVPOIDS2).
ZPOIDS9 = VARV(ZVPOIDS2).
ZPOIDS10 = VARV(ZVPOIDS2).
ZPOIDS11 = VARV(ZVPOIDS2).
ZPOIDS12 = VARV(ZVPOIDS2).
If this works, the problem is within variable ZVPOIDS3 - ZVPOIDS12.
Also note that the latest SP is 14, so if you are still in development I would recommend to install SP13 and 14!

Urgent: Generting an Error messge using FOX formula

Hello all,
i want to generate the error message when 'Activity' field is left blank while appending a new record in planning folder.
'Activity' is characteristic of type CHAR.it is not maintained in the master data.
my code is
DATA ACT TYPE ZACTIVITY.
IF ACT = #.
MESSAGE E001(UPF)WITH ' ACTIVITY SHOULD NOT BE BLANK '.
ENDIF.
it is giving error even when something is entered in the Activity field also.
any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Activity needs to be in fields to be changed.
The VARV only works for single value variables. In case of multiple values you can try:
Foreach ACT in VARIABLE name of variable
ACT = VARV(name of variable)
STATMENTEMENT
ENDFOR.
or you can try working
counter = 0.
Number = VARC(name of variable).
DO number times.
Counter = counter + 1.
ACT = VARI(name of variable, counter).
STATEMENT.
ENDDO.

Type error while calling function module with in FOX formula

Hi,
I am getting following error while calling function module from FOX Formula:
"Types of parameter DAY_IN () and variable J_CALDAY(D) are inconsistent"
Following is the code:
DATA    I_CALDAY       TYPE 0CALDAY.
DATA    N_CALDAY       TYPE 0CALDAY.
DATA    KYF              TYPE KEYFIGURE_NAME.
FOREACH   I_CALDAY, KYF.
   CALL FUNCTION SLS_MISC_GET_LAST_DAY_OF_MONTH
      EXPORTING
         DAY_IN = I_CALDAY
      IMPORTING
         LAST_DAY_OF_MONTH = N_CALDAY.
    {KYF, N_CALDAY} = {KYF, L_CALDAY}.
ENDFOR.
Import parameter DAY_IN is of type sy-datum (that inturn is data element SYDATUM of data type DATS - same as 0CALDAY). Not sure why error is being thrown. Any idea? Thanks.
Edited by: SAP_BOY on Dec 4, 2009 5:26 PM

Hi,
I think It will not identify ,though you have (data element SYDATUM of data type DATS - same as 0CALDAY).Check it out by assigning it through a variable of type D.
Data I_CALDAY TYPE D.
Hope it may work out.

How to implement this planning function using Fox formula

Hello,
I am new to Fox.
I want to implement this complex logic in a planning function
i have A (Kf X from infoprovider Z_A), B (Kf Y from infoprovider Z_B) & moreover there is one more condition,
If current FISCPER > variable value of FISCPER
KF Z = KF Z1 (from Cube C1)
Else KF Z = KF Z2 (from Cube C2).
for a particular calender week,
X = ( Y * Z ) / (summation of (Y * Z) for each week of the whole year)
I know it is complex.
but i have to implement this in a planning function.
The aggreagtion level is built on a multiprovider having A, B , C1 & C2.
Can someone help me out with the FOX formula for this? or is there any better way to do this.
Thanks john

Fox formula - Copy variable value to a characteristic in IP

Hi All,
I have to copy the value of a variable to a characteristic in Fox formula in IP. In this scenario I am forecasting data using copy function. Whenever new data is copied I need to save it as a new version. So in the fox formula I have mentioned only 'version' as the field to be changed. I get the value of version automatically from a function module. In BPS I think it is possible but I am using IP.
Example.
Copied data
Customer Material Version Year Qty
c1            m1          0           2012 10
c2            m2          0           2012 20
c3            m3          0           2012   15
This is the reference data got as a result of copy function. In the code I get the version computed from a function module in variable fm_version.
I wrote the logic like this.
data lv_version type version.
foreach lv_version.
{0quant_b, lv_version} = {0quant_b, fm_version}
endfor.
When it is execute it is showing error as records changed and deleted.
Is it the correct method or is there any other workaround.
I would realyt appreciate your time and effort.
Thanking you,
Jerry Jerome

Hello,
You can use either standard copy function or fox formula.
So here I need to make the version as 1 since it is forecasted for the first time. I am trying to do it with a fox formula. In the fox formula I am trying to change the characteristic value of version from 0 to 1.
You can not change the characteristic value of version from 0 to 1. The copy function or fox formula will copy the key figures from version 0 to 1.
For example:
The transaction data contains data like -
customer     material            year     version    qty
c1                 m1            2012     0           10
c2                 m2            2012     0            5
After copy you will get both version like this
customer     material            year     version    qty
c1                 m1            2012        0        10
c2                 m2            2012        0         5
c1                 m1            2012        1        10
c2                 m2            2012        1         5
Thanks.

How using ABAP function in fox formula ?

Hello,
I want to launch standard function :"RSW_CURRENCY_TRANSLATION" by Fox formula. I declare this function in SAP Table :rsplf_fdir, and I can call this function by fox, with all parameters.
But when I want to use it, I've a problem with the first parameter : "Formula error: Type RSR_CTTNM is not permitted"
What's the solution ?
Best regards,

Hi Cyril,
I read the fact that you have chosen to use CURC instead of the Function Module.
Did you fix your exchange rate type in your CURC formula: For example:
CURC (LCAMT,12312008,EURP,LCUR,GCUR).
Or did you make into a variable, that can be chosen at run time?
I'm asking because I'm trying to make the 'exchange rate type' in this formula to be more dynamic (like a local variable).For example:
DATA EXRATE TYPE 0RTYPE.
DATA EXRATE_V TYPE 0RTYPE.
EXRATE_V = VARV(EXCHRATE).
{0AMOUNT,GCUR, GCTYPE,FYPERIOD,VERSION,COSTELM,INT_ORDER} = CURC (LCAMT,12312008,EXRATE_V,LCUR,GCUR).
But the system returns the error meesage that it doesn't recognise 'EXRATE_V' even though i have declared it earlier on. So I have a fear that the system is expecting me to enter a fixed exchnage rate type that exists in RSCUR, in this formula..!! Is that true??
I don't want it to be fixed in the formula, it should be chosen at time of planning. How do you have yours right now? Do you know why I get this error message, and what I need to do to in the FOX formula, to make sure it can be populated at run time?
Thanks for your help and information in advance.

Display Message from automatically FOX-Formula

Hello,
we are using a FOX-Formula as automatically Function "After data change" within the planning-layout (WebInterface).
Does anybody know, how we can tune the function / layout, that we will see this message if the conditions agree?
For example:
IF {ZK_MWERTD, '301', 'KVBE', '01'} <> 0.
MESSAGE I002(ZBW).
ENDIF.
If we are using this function by function-button, it works quite well. But not in this case, we are using it by automatically function.
Best regards

Hi Daniel,
if I remember it right, the messages do only appear if they are error messages.
I am not sure about Warnings, so try it with the message type W or E.

How to display my FOX formula result on the layout

Hi Guru's,
I have created one Fox Formula for OTB using the given below calculation
Planned Open-To-Buy (Retail Price) = Sales / Retail Value + Last Planned Stock (Retail Value) - Open Purchase Orders (Retail Value with Tax) - GR Posting Date / Vendor RtlT + Promotion Sales / Retail .
When I am executing my Planning function (using BPS0) then it is working fine. It is showing the correct OTB value.
I have insterted this FOX function into my layout using UPSPM tcode. When I execute the OTB calc function from UPSPM then correct data gets saved into my real-time cube. However OTB data is not getting displayed on my layout.
Is there something else which I am supposed to do to display the result on the final layout ?
Thanks,
Ashu gupta.

Hii Guys,
Thanks a lot for your inputs. My issue has been resolved. I was not able to get the FOX formula output on the layout as the formula was not giving unique record. I have removed version char from my level and flds for selection. Now everything is working fine.
Thanka again for your valuable time.

Variable used in FOx formula should get value from user

Hi Gurus,
In my fox formula I want to multiply a keyfigure (say quantity) with a factor. For example if the factor is 10 then all records should get multiplied by 10.
But the requirement is user shpuld be able to give the factor that should be multiplied. That is the l_factor used in the fox function should be a variable which gets value from user. I know we can give variables in filter and planning functions in IP. But can we give values in Fox formula.
I would really appreciate the time and effort.
Thanking you,
Jerry Jerome

Hello,
May be you can try this solution.
I think you have create a dummy character info-object(Z_Number) of same data type interget number.Create variable for Z_Number and restrict in filter(ZV_NUM).
DATA Z_MAT TYPE 0Material.
DATA Z_NUM TYPE Z_NUMBER.
DATA Z_NUM_READ TYPE I.(Declate same as data type for Z_Number)
Z_NUM = VARV(ZV_NUM).
FORACH Z_MAT.
Z_NUM_READ = Z_NUM.
{Z_KF1,Z_MAT} = Z_NUM_READ * {Z_KF1,Z_MAT}.
ENDFOR.

How to change the variable value in fox formula?

Hi All,
    Please help me achieve this scenario,
         in the variable selection screen , i wil give some i/p like, calyear(0calyear) = 2008.
      In planing function using FOX formula, i must be able change the variable value to 2009.
Will it be possible to achieve this, can we change a variable value using FOX formula, if possible
please let me knw how to achieve this.
Thanks n Regards,
Priya.

Hi Priyadarshini,
i dont know what is your requirement exactly.If you can give a better explanation of ur requirement we can help you. But to answer your question yes we can get new values for the variable in the planning function.
for this you need to couple the planning function together with the planning filter in a planning sequence. This planning filter should have the variable that you wanted to change. In the WAD when you want to call this planning sequence there is an option to call variable screen. If you enable this, it will pop up the variable screen to get this value again.
Guess this was helpful.
Regards.
Shafi.

Multi-value parameter report - error : Incorrect syntax near ',' with multi-valued parameter in SSRS

Hey,
I created a report in Reporting Services where I added multi-value parameter
( Filter). When I run my report, and try to select more than one parameter, I get an error: Incorrect syntax near ','
then i put in parameter expression : join(Parameters!Filter.Value,",")
and add : dbo.ufnSplit before calling parameter in query :
>>> set @valwhere = 'table.field IN (select * from dbo.ufnSplit(' + @Filter + ' , '',''))'
but i still have errors : incorrect syntax near 'text' which is the second value of the picklist of the parameter,
Please Any idea ?
Thanks !!

I have sometimes had to collate as default with the SQL query
currently I've just using
CompanyName in
(selectitemfromdbo.fnSplit(@function,','))
In the SSRS report text box I have Join(Parameters!Company.Value,",")

Set global variable in FOX formula

Hi all,
Does anybody know how to change the value of a global variable inside a FOX formula?.
I can get its value and assign to a local variable but I would like to set the global value after reading a keyfigure and make some calculations.
is it possible? maybe with some ABAP function call?
Thanks for your help!
