Error using Text variables

HI all
I am trying to create Text variables in query.
But it is throwing the below error when i use that.
Error : Source is not permitted variable for target period from variable 0p_fiscper3_2
Pls let me know what would be the problem and how o debug it
Thanks

My user exit retuns a table in a select-option format
SIGN OPT LOW
I   |EQ |29 DEC 2003
I   |EQ |05 JAN 2004
My query looks similar to this
01/2004                     02/2004
29 Dec 2004
xxx xx xxxx xxxxxx xxxx    xxx xx xxxx xxxxxx xxxx
I am not sure why this is happening.
Thanks

Time Format using text variable with replacement path

Hi Friends,
I've used "Text variable with replacement path" to make the column heading dynamic by replacing the values referring from "0calday"...
everything is working fine, but here it is displaying the time format like
YYYYMMDD (20030101), i want it to be displayed DDMMYYYY (01012003) in the column heading... how to make it possible?
pls waiting for ur inputs, it's an urgent...
Regards,
Pattnaik

Hi Satyakam,
In the text variable properties make sure that in the replacment path you have chosen "Text" to appear date as per user setting . Other wise as in your case it must be set to "Key" which always shows in the format YYYYMMDD.
Hope that helps.

Show the period value in column header using Text Variable

We are using Posting Period & Financial Year to calculate YTD & MTD, for current year and previous years. These posting period and financial year characteristics are custom created characteristics we are using due to customer specific requirement.
Input values are posting period, financial year and numeric value. To calculate previous year, I need to subtract numeric value from the input financial year. Every thing is working fine up to this.
In the report I need to show the posting period and financial year values dynamically in each column header of the report for MTD, YTD for current year & previous year. I tried to achieve this using Text Variables, but I didnt succeed. If some one can give me some idea to resolve this, it would be very helpful.
I am excellent in ABAP coding. If you can specify me to code in User Exit, I can do it.
Column headers should be 08.1999 Sales Qty, 08.2008 Sales Qty, 1999 Sales Qty, 2008 Sales Qty.

Hi Abhinav,
Try using the content text variables 0T_FYEAR and 0T_FPER3, when used in the head these variable should display the year and period specified in the RKF.
e.g
&0T_FPER3&. &0T_FYEAR& Sales Qty = 08.1999 Sales Qty
If that doesnt work, try creating text replacement path variables referencing the variables you created for the year and period input. To do this click on the RKF and click on the dropdown by the yellow box next to the description on the general tab and select New Variable, enter the description, tech name and set processng by to Replacment Path, then select period as the ref. characteristic, then on the replacement path tab change replace variable with to variable and then select the variable you are using for the period input, save then hit ok, this is now a text representation of the variable your are inputing for period and can be used in the column headers, you will need to repeat the process for the fiscal year.
Hope this helps

Using Text Variable in BEx Formula

Hi Everyone,
I have two columns in BEx query. First column shows the value based on variable ZFISCPER_M(based on fiscal year/period).
The other column shows the value for period ZFISCPER_M minus 1 (I have used offset in variable).
So if my user inputs 009.2009, the first column will show values for 009.2009 and 2nd column will show values for 008.2009.
In the third column I have formula : 2nd column minus 1st column. I want to use text variable to display column heading. The heading in the 3rd column should be 009.2009.
Can anyone guide me how to achieve this?
Regards
Utpal

Hi Rakesh,
My first column shows cumulative balance upto 009.2009; My second column shows the cumulative balance upto 008.2009; In the third column I am trying to display balance for the month - not the cumulative figure. So for the third column my heading should be For the month 009.2009
But when I substract col 2 - col 1in third column; the text variable finds two different values(009.2009 & 008.2009). Hence it is not displaying any text.
I hope this makes my question clear.

Fetch values from characteristic slection variable by using text variable

Hi Gurus,
i got BEx Variable for characteristic SalesOrganization. It is a selection variable.
Theat means the users can select one or more than one value. For example 001 or 001, 004.
Now i want to fetch these values by using a text variable. Problem ist that the standard SAP text variable in BEx can filled by using replacement path and i can only can select "from" or "to". But i only want the endtered values. Is there another way without using an User Exit?
Regards,
Adem

Hi Adem,,
Instead of user exit,
How about replacement path .. ? Have you ever tried this one before ??
You can go through this link for the detail:

Name of column using text variable in Query Designer

Hello!
I have 3 columns with amounts, 1 characteristic value variable and 1 text variable.
For example, names of this columns - 2005 year, 2006 year, 2005/2006.
I fill names using only one text variable and I can call first 2 column. I use set offset of variables for second column.
How can I call third column ''2005/2006"?

Hi,
u need a second Text varaible and u need to correct your existing text variable.
Prerequisite: u need for your key figures the same KF-variable
1. Edit your existing text variable lets say its called &Text1&
2. Select your Text variable and go to tab "replacement path"
3. Choose a) InfoObject b) Choose key
4. In section "use value range" choose from value
5. Create a new text variable lets call it &Text2&
6. make exact the same settings as for your first text variable butchoose for "value range" to value
Now u use this text variables for your KF:
KF 1 -> &Text1&
KF 2 -> &Text1&
KF 3 -> &Text1& / &Text2&
This should make it!!

How to use Text Variables to make Running Footers

I'm confused about how Text Variables are behaving in the creation of Running footers on a pair of master page.
My document has 3-6 Steps on each page. Each Step is designated with a unique character style called StepName.
I want a running footer that has the first instance of StepName on the left page and the last instance of StepName on the right page. Like a dictionary.
I can get the correct text to appear, but then it adds an unwanted ParagraphStyle (a substep letter) that gives me this:
A) Open the File
when what I want is just this:
Open the File
The Character Style StepName is not based on any other style.
I have seen this done but can't understand why I'm picking up a lettering scheme on the footer.
-Christian

Sounds like you have a numbered list applied to the paragraph style of your footer. It's either part of the paragraph style of the footer or it's local formatting. Either way, you can turn it off by selecting the paragraph and clicking on the numbered list button on the paragraph panel or the main control panel. Or you can edit the style and under bulleted and numbered lists change the list to none.

How to use text variables?

Hi,
I have a text variable 'ZEMAIL' with data element 'COMM_ID_LONGu2019.The routine corresponding to this is 'GET_ZEMAIL' in 'ZHKMIT30' program.
Now I have to retrieve emloyee E-mail ID (infotype 0105 i.e.PA0105 DB table, subtype 0010, field USRID_LONG) and has to populate in ZEMAIL. How?
I am very new to this text variables concept
How to get this text variable implemented? Please help.

select pernr subty usrid_long
         from pa0105
             into table it_pa0105
          where pernr in s_pernr
         and subty = '0010' .
loop at it_pa0105.
ZHKMIT30-ZEMAIL = it_pa0105-usrid_long.
insert ZHKMIT30.
endloop.

Error using presentation variable in SQL Expression

Hi all,
I'm receiving an error - '...Error getting drill information...' due to a presentation variable being used in a SQL Expression. It probably has something to do with a data type issue. I've narrowed the error to the use of the presentation variable.
I'm setting a presentation variable, pres_mth_nme_to, from a dashboard prompt. The prompt contains a month name.
I'm using the presentation variable as part of a SQL Expression in a filter. The gist of the SQL Expression is to use the
presentation variable in a CASE and set a value accordingly. For example:
Column: Month Sort Value
Operator: Between
Value: *10*
SQL Expression: *Case @{pres_mth_nme_to}{some default} WHEN 'NOV' THEN '10' WHEN 'DEC' THEN '11' WHEN 'JAN' THEN '12' WHEN 'FEB' THEN '13' WHEN...END*
The month name is character. If I were to hard code this, I don't recieve the error. For example:
CASE 'SEP' WHEN 'NOV' THEN '10' WHEN 'DEC' ...END
There something going on with the data type from the prompt and it being used in the comparison. If I use a CAST, the problem still exists.
CASE CAST(@{pres_mth_nme_to} as char(3)) WHEN 'NOV' THEN ... END
If I'm in Answers, the problem doesn't exist, I'm assuming because of the default values. If I'm on the dashboard, it does exist, I'm assuming because of recieving the prompt value.
I don't know what I'm missing. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

DJ,
if the formula presented by you is exactly true, i mean it was not fabricated to present as an example in the forum, you should include the presentation variable in single quotes.
i.e. your formula must look somthing like
Case '@{pres_mth_nme_to}{some default}' WHEN 'NOV' THEN '10' WHEN 'DEC' THEN '11' WHEN 'JAN' THEN '12' WHEN 'FEB' THEN '13' WHEN...END
let me know if it did solve the issue...

Error using bind variables with SQL server with SQL92 mode

How to solve error using local variables?

I've created a sequence with a local variable.
But when I execute it, an error occurs since the first step (before the step where I manipulate the local variable).
The error code is something like:
Error in Evaluation. Syntax expression. Column [0-0]
It's interesting because it seems that once I've executed my sequence for the first time I can't create any other sequence where this error doesn't appear.

Pparo,
The problem does not occur under TS 1.0.3 on my system. However, I think we can get to the bottom of this.
When at a breakpoint in your sequence, if I type the expression "Locals.nls == 15-" in the TestStand watch window, I will get the message
Evaluation Failed: Syntax error in expression (Column 18-18)
I believe that this is the same type of error that you have encountered. Correct me if I am wrong.
The numbers after the word "Column" indicate where the error has occurred in the expression. In your case the error occurs at the beginning of an expression. The question still remains as to in which expression is error occurring.
Are you seeing this error reported in the watch window? If so, then you have typed the expression in the watch window.
If I copy the bad expression above into a the expression of a Statement step I get a run-time error of
An error occurred in the 'Statement' step of the 'MainSequence' sequence in 'Sequence File1'.
The post-expression for the step 'Statement' could not be evaluated.
Syntax error in expression.
Error Code: -17322
From what you report, the error appears to be located in your watch expression. When I executed your sequence with a breakpoint on the first step, I added the watch expression by selected the Context tab, expanding the Sequence Context tree view until I could see the nls variable, and then I dragged nls from the tree view to the watch window. This created the watch expression of Locals.nls. I also created the same watch expression by right clicking in the watch window, selecting Add Watch from the context menu, and selecting (or typing) Locals.nls. The expressions all evaluated to 24 without error.
This process has NOTHING to do with creating local variables. You asked if you are creating variables properly. There are only 2 ways to create variables in TestStand 1.0.3, neither of which you have described. The most common method is to select the Locals tab after opening your sequence (not during execution), right click in the right pane and add the variable of your choice. It seems like you did this correctly based on the sequence file you sent. The other method of creating variables is to do so programmatically. However, this is beyond the scope of this answer.
You ask a question about "the best way to create three constants in LabVIEW and pass them to a LabVIEW VI that is a step?" This implies to me that you want to create the strings within a VI called by one sequence step, and then use them in another VI called by a different sequence step. I would recommend taking a look at the example AccessingPropertiesAndVariables.seq that ships with TestStand. The first 3 VIs write values back to step properties, but could just as easily write them back to local variables. The 4th VI writes a file reference back to a TS local variable. The 5th and 6th step get the file reference from the TS local variable. You want to do something similar to the 4th and 5th VI, however, you want to send 3 strings to local TS variables, and then get them in the following VI. This will require using "TestStand - Set Property Value (String).vi" and "TestStand - Get Property Value (String).vi" which can be found in the TestStand function palette in LabVIEW. After reviewing this example you can then ask additional question. I recommend posting the question on a different thread since it is unrelated to your original question about the syntax error.

Using currency conversion and text variable at the same time

Hi all,
In a 3.5 bex query, i am applying currency conversion on a key figure with a variable of 0currency.
as i know, to be able to apply currency conversion, variable of currency should not be in Free characteristics or in Filter.
it has to be selected only on the key figure.
but now, i want to use text variable for selected currency (with type replacement path). But as i know, to be able to use text variable, variable of currency has to be
in Free characteristics or in Filter.
Can you please advise, how to both use currency conversion and text variable on currency?
Thanks in advance.
Sancho

Sancho,
I'm not 100% sure about this, but I'm thinking that if you are pulling the text variable from a selection in a structure, you should not need it in the free characteristic or filter. Try creating a structure, placing the currency in it as a selection, and creating a text variable as the title for the selection that is based on the currency. This may help.
Cheers,
Rusty

Text variable to be used in query description

Hi,
Need to use text variable in the query description. I have created one which processes by customer exit to get the value as system date. But the description is still showing as &variable name&
Checked with value of i_step = 2 and 3. still not working
Any inputs?
Searched the forums, but couldnt find a solution!
Thanks in Advance,
Tinkugeo

Hi Tinkugeo,
I tried with the following code and it is working for me :
DATA: loc_var_range LIKE rrrangeexit.
DATA: l_s_range TYPE rsr_s_rangesid.
Data: NEWDATE type sy-datum.
IF i_vnam EQ <variable name>
if i_step EQ 2.
CLEAR l_s_range.
NEWDATE = sy-datum.
month = NEWDATE+4(2).
year = NEWDATE+0(4).
day = NEWDATE+6(2).
l_s_range-low+0(2) = day.
l_s_range-low+2(1) = '/'.
l_s_range-low+3(2) = month.
l_s_range-low+5(1) ='/'.
l_s_range-low+6(4) = year.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
endif.
Check that the variable you have made is of type customer exit.
Best Wishes,
Mayank
