Ff_5 Formatting error in the field COBL-KOSTL

When automatically posting bankstatements we have several searchstrings in place.
Most of them post against a bookingrule, but in this case I have a posting on a costcenter as well.
I created two equal searchstrings, one for the bookingrule and one for the costcenter.
When executing FF_5 SAP only books in area 1 and not in area 2. The error message states:
00: 298 Formatting error in the field COBL-KOSTL.
The costcenter is an active one, it is also in OKB9 linked to the cost account number.
Profitcenter is default.
What does this message mean, and how can I find out what I did wrong? I am absolutely sure I have made no typo when entering the costcenter in the mapping area of the searchstring.

Hi Siermann,
How are you mapping these two in search string , could you tell me ..?..
Seems to be that cost center is mandatory field but the field is suppressed in GL.
Thanks,

FF_5 - Import Bank Statement, Err: Formatting error in the field COBL-KOSTL

Hi
When importing the bank statement I'm getting the error
Error: (00 298) Formatting error in the field COBL-KOSTL ; see next message
Why is it doing this? In OKB9 I have the GL Account and the cost center assigned. It is the ne GL that is giving this problem, in the classic GL I do not have this problem.
Thanks in advance

Hi
No, it is not that. For some reason in the new GL it does not seem to determine the cost centers and profit centers as usual.
For exampl to allocate the Profit Center for Balance Sheet Account I used to use 3KEH in the classic gl but in the New gl we must use FAGL3KEH.
Now with cost center i'm having the same problem, does not determine the cost center when importing the bank statement.
Can someone help me.
Thanks in advance

Formatting error in the field COBL-GSBER - FF_5 Upload

Hi Experts,
When I upload the bank statement in FF_5, I am getting the following error.
"Error: (00 298) Formatting error in the field COBL-GSBER ; see next message"
If I make the field "Businees Area" Optional in Field Status Group of the "Bank Main Accout", then I am not getting the above error and the posting also happens to the "Bank Main Account".
But if I make "Business Area" Required Entry Field then I get the above error.
Is there any other method to rectify this problem, i.e can this be resolved even after keeping Business Area as a required field.
Pl advice.
Rgds,
Prasad.

Hi,
I hope making Business area optional field is not a wise decision...user may go without inputting the business area in the field which later on will create problem for clearing...
If required go for activating user exit FEB00001... which will give you the business area...
try the same with your ABAPer....

How to display HTML formatted text in the field with Item Style: Raw Text

How can I display HTML formatted text in the field with Item Style: Raw Text.
Currently the Item Style is Raw Text, but the text is being displayed along with HTML tags without formatting.

[RB 6i] Format text in the field using HTML-tags. Or another way...

If some fields of tables in database contain html tags such as 'H<sub>2</sub>O' (here is html tag 'sub') or 'some<b>text</b>'(here is html tag 'b') how can I to make Report Builder 6i to understand these tags or at least don't show them?
Or how in another way can I format a part of text inside the field?
thanx before
Max

Hi Maxim,
If the output is PDF, the only way is to filter the incoming values yourself. You will need to create a PL/SQL column and remove the HTML markup tags. This, of course, leaves you without attributes you wanted in text (ie: the no "Bold" characters). You can still do this in with the same report basing the output from the PL/SQl formula column on the "desformat" input parameter.
Reports doesn't have any "markup" capability. ie: A field only has one font & one colour. You can have multiple fonts for boilerplate text but, again, only a single colour.

I need to execute a formatted search when the field loses focus

Is this even possible? I do NOT want to force the users to press shift-f2 every time to validate/search on every field on the form. This is absurd. How can I trigger a formatted search on a field when it loses focus?
I tried activating menu item #7425, but it's not executing the one on the field that loses focus, but a different one. I guess it only works on the active field??
I tried catching an earlier event, but after it executes the formatted search on the right field, it places the value on whatever field just gained focus instead of the one it was assigned to.
Any ideas here? We cannot force our users to press shift-f2 on all these fields!
The only other idea I have is to not use a formatted search but instead try to create some sort of popup form with a grid and my own query. There has to be an easier way, right?

Bryan:
I use the following on a KeyDown event for when the User tabs out of a field after entering data if the data they entered is not valid. Perhaps you could try this in the LostFocus event:
g_B1Connection.Application.SendKeys("+")
Also, I have used this in the KeyDown event:
DisplayLookup("txtWO0")
Private Sub DisplayLookup(ByVal objText As String)
        Try
            WOItem = WOForm.Items.Item(objText)
            WOItem.Click(SAPbouiCOM.BoCellClickType.ct_Regular)
            g_B1Connection.Application.SendKeys("+")
        Catch ex As Exception
            g_B1Connection.Application.MessageBox(ex.Message, "Ok", 1)
        End Try
    End Sub

Bogus error message: "The field jnlp has an invalid value: https."

We are running into a variant of an old bug. With a Windows XP client using JRE 1.5.0_05, we get:
{noformat}Launch File Error: The field <jnlp> has an invalid value: https
Java 1.4+ is required for HTTPS support{noformat}
which of course is a strange thing for a 1.5 JRE to be squawking about. We found a Sun bug report 6433293 that reports this behavior as occuring on Solaris but not on Windows. We're seeing it on Windows. The bug report suggests that the error message text is the "wrong message" and may be totally unrelated to the actual problem (although it is triggered by having an https URL in the "href" attribute of the <jnlp> tag).
Because of our customer environment, upgrading the JRE beyond 1.5.0_05 is NOT an option for us. I googled the message and found one blogpost that suggested the error may be related to the XML encoding (which seems surprising, but they claimed changing the encoding fixed the problem for them). I tried fiddling with the encoding values, but to no avail. Anyone know anything about this bug, and any possible workarounds?

We finally found the solution to this, so I will follow up for the sake of posterity. Thanks, Andrew, for the pointer to JaNeLa. While it didn't tip us off to this particular problem, it did get us thinking in the right direction: that there was something about the JNLP file, completely unrelated to what the error message was reporting, that was causing the problem. Turns out that the Java 1.5.0_05 WebStart JNLP parser had a bug, such that it was tripped up by a JNLP file containing more than one XML comment in immediate succession. It seems unbelievable, but it was completely reproducible. Our JNLP file began like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>


<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="https://ourserver/ourApp" href="https://ourserver/ourApp/ourApp.jnlp"/> By accounts, this was patched in 1.5.0_10, and we know that the problem didn't occur in 1.6.0_13. In case anyone else has this problem, that's something to look for. (Note: this isn't the only cause of this erroneous error message. It apparently got printed out when the parser was unhappy about various things. I saw another report that someone had a problem with their "encoding" attribute value on their xml header, and fixing that solved their problem.)

Excel 2007 accessing PivotItem.Visible gives error if the field item value is a DATE

I have VBA code to manipulate the content of a pivot table - essentially it hides all but the first N items in a pivotfield. Under Excel 2003 the code works fine, as expected irrespective of the data content of the pivot field item. Under Excel
2007, if the data content is a date, the VBA code generates one of several error conditions.
pivotItems(i).Visible = True
Generates error 1004 - Unable to set the visible property of the pivot class
If pivotItems(i).Visible = True then...
Trying to test the visibility generates error 13 - type mismatch
?pivotItems(i).Visible
Trying to determine the visibility of the pivot item in the VBA immediate window, this generates error 2042
I have an illustrative spreadsheet which permits the code to process two different pivot tables, one using a field containg dates; the other a field containing text. Under Excel 2003, the code works on both pivot tables. Under Excel 2007 it works
on the text field table, but fails on the date field table.
I have looked for answers on numerous support forums including answers.microsoft but found not found any answers... only the same or similar unanswered question.

Hi Herbert,
Thank you for your continued interest; please find a revised illustration of the problem here -
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zc6ty9ctl1n7yd9
I have made the following changes / additions to the problem illustrator:-
Adopted the use of lists for the data source of the pivot table
Removed reference to '(blank)' as a reserved item not hidden by the VBA code to avoid the possibility of hiding all items
In respect of my original code (MK1), utilised a 'real' item name to be the
reserved item
Added a new (MK2) macro to alter the number of visible items which
hides all but one of the VisibleItems collection
makes the first N items in the collection visible
checks that there are only N items visible (the position of the reserved item
might be greater than N)
The code still executes as expected under 2003, but fails (the same as before) under 2007 when the data type of the PivotItem is date.
The MK1 code fails when testing the current visibility of the Item before trying to set the visibility with:- RTE 1004 Unable to
get the PivotItems property of the PivotField Class
The MK2 code fails when trying to set the visibility with:- RTE 1004 Unable to
set the Visible property of the PivotItem Class as reported above. Note - given that MK2 avoids trying hide invisible items or unhide visible items, I no longer believe that this error is due to the attempt
to set visibility to current state as seen under Excel 2003. I am deeply confused by this now!
I observe with care the different CLASSES on which these failures are reported even though in each case the operations are on the PivotItem.Visible property - MK1 queries it / MK2 attempts to alter it.
Just in case you have been wondering where this is going, this spreadsheet has no prupose beyond illustrating the Excel 2003 / 2007 problem being encountered elsewhere when manipulating pivot table items whose value are dates. The requirement
is to provide a simple user interface to a complex managing reporting spreadsheet consisting of a significant number of pivot tables and charts - altering one cell causes the VBA code to modify the collection of pivot tables to deliver a revised view of the
data. All works fine for 2003 users of the model, but not 2007 users. I need one spreadsheet which will work correctly on both 2003 & 2007.
Regards.

Retaining the cursor on a Text Field when error on the field

Hi,
We have a requirement, where when we tab out of a text field, the data entered gets validated and exceptions are caught using array list and then thrown on top of the page.
However, we have a requirement, that on tab out, the cursor should remain in the same field in case there are errors thrown on that field otherwise should move to the next field.
My Approach is
1) Capture the tabout event in PFR.
2) If the validation returns erorr messages, do a forwardImmediately to CurrentPage
3) Set the focus in PR and throw the exception.
I read the discussion on the link How to set focus on a textinput/poplist using PPR
and tried the same approach but below are my observations.
Approach - 1) WITH FIRE PARTIAL ACTION on text field.
Input = Invalid, then error message is thrown and I am not able to see the cursor.
Input = Valid , then I see the cursor in the next text field, which is correct.
Approach - 2) WITH FIRE ACTION
Input = Invalid, then error message is thrown, the text in the textfield looks selected, which is the required functionality.
Input = Valid, then still I see the same text as selected. Here I dont want the text to be selected and want the cursor to move to the next field. This is not happening.
Please let me know where exactly I am committing the mistake.
Thanks
Saurabh

Hi friends,
I have declared a field 'GV_total' for totals in global declaration and also in currency fields.
I have calculated the total in the program lines into this variable 'GV_total' and displaying this variable GV_total in the text element.
I have activated the smartform and run the print program, it is displaying the total currectly in the output.
Now the issue is, when I activate the smartform it is diplaying error message like "GV_total has no defined values".
how to rectify this error.
Please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
It is just a warning, you can avoid this by specifying a Value(say 0) while declaring the variable in Global definitions.

Error with the FIELD CAT function module.

Hi folks,
This was the error message i had got from the FIELDCAT function module.
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_READ_SRC_LINE_TOO_LONG', was
     not caught in

     RAISING clause.
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
    exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:

    The READ REPORT statement allows you to copy a program text into an
    internal table. The occupied line length in the program text must not

Hi experts,
When posting idocs manually via transaction BD87 all users receive "Formatting error in the field BSEG-WRBTR..." or "Formating error in the field BKPF-BUDAT..." regardless of personal user settings. When the same idoc is posted via scheduler it posts without any error. Can anybody help me out in this issue.
Points will be rewarded.
With thanks in advance

Hi
Go to T code ST22. here for the user id in which the dump is generated, click on how to rectify. The system will give you a probable resolution for the problem. In many cases, there would be some key words, on which you need to serach for a suitable note of SAP to resolve the dump. Take the hlp of your ABAPER also

Formatting error with_item-wt_withcd in transaction code FBV0

Hi,
When the user is posting the parked vendor invoice using transaction FBV0, there is an error message reported as
below: Message no. 00298 - Formatting error in the field WITH_ITEM-WT_WITHCD; see next message.
Even after executing the transaction RFBIPPG0, the above formatting error with withholding tax code field is not resolved.
As a solution for the problem, it is required to execute the note no. 709736 which resolves the formatting error.
Ramanand Bhatt

Hi Maurizio
We are facing the error “Field WITH_ITEM-WT_WITHCD(5) does not exist in the screen SAPLFWTD 0100”. We are having an interface here for posting an Invoice document through T code FB01.
When we execute this in foreground we don’t get any error and when thesame is executed in background, we are getting the error “Field WITH_ITEM-WT_WITHCD(5) does not exist in the screen SAPLFWTD 0100”.
We have gone through various threads and found that the same is concerned with the number of withholding tax codes assigned to the vendor codes i.e. it should be limited to 4. If the same is more
than 4, the screen SAPLFWTD 0100 gives the above error. However we have the scenario where in more than 4 withholding tax codes will be assigned to a vendor code.
We also raised a OSS for the same, but the same being a Z development, we are net getting a satisfactory response from them.
Please provide the solution for the same.
Thanks & regards

Formating Error

Hi,
I am using VA01 in a batch input session. For the field RV45A-KETDAT , i am getting an error Formatting error in the field RV45A-KETDAT
but my value is of the same data element(KETDAT) of data type CHAR. any clues?

There is a difference between the way date is maintained on the screen or in the program.
In the program date is in the following format YYYYMMDD
so if you pass this to the bdc then it will consider YY.YM.MDD so it will give an error.
What you need to do is to reformat the date field into a char(10) field like
data date_text(10) type c.
concatenate date6(2) date4(2) date(4) into date_text.
if this helps reward points.
