Field symbols not working in data transfer VOFM routine

Hi,
I have been trying to set a value using field symbols, however for some reasons its not working. I am using a field symbol in a data transfer routine and the value which I am trying to set is a standard field outside the VOFM routine code.
I am trying to set a field gla_subrc which is actually a changing parameter.
The actual paramter is gn_subrc of type sy-subrc and within the form the name is gla_subrc. I need to set this changing parameter gla_subrc using the data transfer routine.
Is there a specific rule that field symbols dont work for changing paramters within subroutine or is there a specific syntax.
The syntax I am using is
ASSIGN ('(SAPLV50S)gla_subrc') to <fs>.
I also used the local program name instead of main program but still that does not work. Tried using the actual parameter as well.
Can someone please help me in this.
Thanks & Regards,
Naresh.

I need to stop outbound delivery creation against STO using vl10b transaction. The only way to stop creation is using data transfer delivery VOFM routine.
If i give an error message MESSAGE E001, this will give a hard error which is not acceptable. To avoid this, i use a perform message statment with message id and certain parameters which can displayed in a log.
However to make sure this message is displayed in log, I am clearing a work area having specific data needed for delivery creation.
Because of this clear, my error message gets captured in log but along with this another fake message is displayed in log which caused by the clear message.
The user gets confused as he now sees 2 messages, 1 which is correct and other 1 which is fake and that confuses him.
Data transfer routine is not the best place to give messages in log but we have very few options. The only way the system can give 1 message is if i set gla_subrc to 1. This is a variable which will help the system understand that the delivery should not be created as there is something wrong because the value is 1. Hence it will stop the creation and instead display whatever message i had passed to the log.
I need to somehow set this variable to 1 based on lot of analysis that has been done in the past.
Please let me know if there is any way by which we can fix this.
Thanks & Regards,
Naresh.

Difference between Field symbols and work area for Internal tables

Hi,
In ECC versions we all know that we need to declare the internal tables without headerline, and for handling the internal tables we need to use exclusive work areas.
Currently i have an issue that we have been asked to use field symbols instead of work areas...can any one help me how to use the field symbols and also let me know how it will improve the performance of the program..
Thanks and Regards,
Kathir

Hi
DATA: WA TYPE ITAB.
LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA.
IF WA-FIELD = .....
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.[(code]
FIELD-SYMBOLS <WA> TYPE ANY.
LOOP AT ITAB ASSIGNING <WA>.
ENDLOOP.
Now the problem is you can't know the name of the fields of the table at runtime, so you can't write:
IF <WA>-FIELD = .....
ENDIF.
Anyway you can create a field-symbols strcturated like the table:
[code]FIELD-SYMBOLS <WA> TYPE ITAB.
LOOP AT ITAB ASSIGNING <WA>.
IF <WA>-FIELD = .....
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
I don't know which are the differences for the performance between to use a field-symbol and to use a structure as work-area.
The differnce between the field-symbols and work-area is the field-symbol is assigned directly to the record, so u don't need to do a MODIFY statament to change something:
LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA.
WA-FIELD =
MODIFY ITAB FROM WA.
ENDLOOP.
LOOP AT ITAB ASSIGNING <WA>.
<WA>-FIELD =
ENDLOOP.
These two pieces of abap code do the same action, so probably the field-symbol improve the performance because it do an access directly to the record without to use an external structure as workarea.

Short dump GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED field symbol not been assigned

Hi Gurus,
I am calling a RFC BAPI_PBSRVAPS_CHANGEKEYFIGVAL2 from R/3 sytem to SCM 5.0.
Acutally this FM BAPI_PBSRVAPS_CHANGEKEYFIGVAL2 not available in R/3 system.
So i am using scm destination and calling above FM directly from R/3 but i am getting the short dump
in SCM system as GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED field symbol not been assigned.
Can you pls check and advise.
Best Regards,
Radhakrishna.

Hi Radhakrishna,
It looks like you have a discrepancy in the planning area with respect to keyfigure. Some thing like the key figure description is not synchronized between live cache and db.
I suggest you log onto your SCM system, run the program /SAPAPO/TS_LCM_CONS_CHECK on your planning area with correct error option.
Please let me know if this works.

App Store is not working in Data plan in iPhone 4s

In my New iPhone 4s App Store is not working in Data plan.Even though i have restarted still the same problem persisits.
And also If I turn off some apps(Settings-->Use Cellulalar data for ) by using Cellular data for those are not working
Could someone help me.

I didn't have any problems with the Malaysia App Store.
Try this... install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
Then restart your Mac.
Launch the App Store.
Check the round flag icon bottom left corner of the iTunes window to make sure the correct country is selected. If not, click the flag then select Malaysia.
It's ok to install the combo even though you are already running v10.6.8.

Issue with field symbol not assigned in SMQ2

We are facing an issue with an error in SMQ2.
The error is "field symbol not assigned". There is also short dump in ST22.
I have read the previous forum threads and it talks about going into the debugger mode.
However, which is the program to be debugged ?
How do I navigate from SMQ2 to the ABAP program.
Kindly let me know.
Regards,
Sanjay

Hi Sanjay,
You need to debug program RSTRFCM3. This is the program which drives SMQ2.
However just check if there are any support pack upgrades to the program recently since this is a standard program.

Field value not working as "Can grow" when exported in PDF

Hi, I have a unique problem. We have a report which is using a sub-report. When we run that report in Crystal report and preview then it looks fine. This subreport is designated as "can grow" so if the field length is bigger than the size then it is coming in the second row. Everything works fine except when we export this report in PDF.
When we export in PDF then this field is not working as "Can grow" and remaining value of the fields is truncated. This is happening both in XI and 2008 version of Crystal client.
Thanks,

Hi, This is declared as bug by Business Objects Support and Product team will decide if they want to include fix in next release (or fix). This is not possible before Dec 2009 or Early 2010.
Below are the general steps on how to apply the suggested workaround:
1. Remove the on-demand subreport caption, and add an empty string to it instead.
1.1 In the u201CDesignu201D view of the report, right click on the subreport and select u201CFormat Subreportu2026u201D
1.2 In u201CFormat Editoru201D window, under the tab u201CSubreportu201D, click on the u201CX-2u201D button of the option u201COn-Demand Subreport Captionu201D
1.3 In the u201CFormula Workshopu201D window, highlight the text in the formula, and cut it. ( Ctrl-X)
( We are just copying the text, as we need to use the samething for the formula or text object we will use to replace this. )
1.4 Type the following in the formula: u201Cu201D
1.5 Click on the button u201CSave and closeu201D, to close the u201CFormula Workshopu201D
1.6 Back to the u201CFormat Editoru201D window, click on the u201COKu201D button to accept the change.
2. Create a formula or insert a text object in which you add the text or fields you will like to display
( In the following steps we will be using a formula )
2.1 In the u201CField Exploreru201D, right click on u201CFormula Fieldsu201D and select u201CNewu201D
2.2 In the u201CFormula Nameu201D window, type the name of the formula. ( Example: My subreport caption )
2.3 In the u201CFormula Workshopu201D, copy the text you cut in step 1.3, or simply add the database fields and text you will like to display for your on-demand subreport caption.
2.4 Save and close the formula by clicking on the u201CSave and closeu201D button
3. Insert the formula over the on-demand subreport, and resize the field to be of the desired length.
4. Format the formula to display like a hyperlink. ( Blue font and underlined text )
4.1 Right click on the formula inserted in step 3, and select u201CFormat Fieldu2026u201D
4.2 In the u201CFormat Editoru201D, under the tab u201CFontu201D, set the color to blue
4.3 Still under the tab u201CFontu201D, check the u201CEffectsu201D option u201CUnderlineu201D
4.4 Under the tab u201CCommonu201D, check the option u201CCan Growu201D
4.5 Click on the u201COKu201D button to accept the change
5. Move the formula to the back in order to ensure you can drill-down on the on-demand subreport
5.1 Right click on the formula inserted above the on-demand subreport and select u201CMove u2013 To Backu201D
Now, when exporting the report to PDF format, the formula used to replace the u201Con-demand subreport captionu201D that displays more than one line will all be exported.
This workaround has following limitations:
The User can see the service description in two lines because of the u2018Text Objectu2019, the On demand subreport is not growing into the second line in the crystal report since we removed the caption.
So the user has to carefully click on the first line of the description in the main report to open the subreport. If he clicks on the second line then it wonu2019t open the required subreport and it may create confusion.
If we manually stretch out the subreport to occupy two lines space then it will leave a gap in between when we have only 1 line service description.
So plan ahead of time about how lengthy text in su-report would be.

Error in drill down of RRI- Field Symbol not assigned

Dear all,
I am trying to call a SAP transaction on click of the jump target. I have created the jump target in the following way ..let me know if I am wrong ..
Goto RBBS transaction . Specifed the sender report as 0SD_C01/0SD_C01_Q025 (Sales Volume Analysis) and target as r/3 client 210 and specifed the transaction Va01 as target.
But when I executed the report and did a right click ..on the context menu I coudl see the desription of the Jump target I have created and upon clicking I received a error ..field symbol not assigned ..
Can any let me know the cause of the error ..and how to resolve.. do i need to give any extra parameters while creating jump target..
Thanks,
Gupta

Hello Gayathri,
One you got the dump you can select debugger button in top-left corner screen.
That will take you to the execution snap shot where you can check all the field symbols and find out which one is not
assigned. accordingly you can find out what is missing on input side to avoid this dump.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Augustin.

Excel Functions Do Not Work When Data Source is BW

Hello,
My platform is, BOBJ BI 4.0. Data source is SAP BW. BW is connected to XCelsius with BEx. My problem is, excel functions do not work when data source is BW. For example, Excel cell A1=quantity1 B1= quantity2 C1= excel function "=A1+B1" When data source is Excel, for example A1=5, B1=9 C1 automatically equals to 14. (There is no problem when data source is Excel) But, in BW, for example when BW set values to A1=5, B1=9, the system does not calculate C1. C1 always equals to initial value, the system does not care any excel calculation when data source is BW. Any guess for my problem? Thank you for your effort.

Hi,
As you are using very simple formula,it will work no matter which source you are consuming.As mentioned,try to place a simple component(Eg:spreadsheet),just to check whether you are getting the right calculated value or not.
As you are using BW as source,the Preview option will not show the runtime data,so you need to publish in Portal to check whether the calculation happened or not.
As far as I know only few fromulas are supported in Xcelsius,but these kind of simple formulas are very much supported.

RSBBS: field symbol not yet assigned

Hello Gurus,
I have a RRI for a query jumping to another query.
But after doing some minor changes to the child and parent query, while executing the jump, an error message comes
' Fiel;d symbol not yet assigned'.
Its details mention '<internal error> Cannot determine text element for the current query;.
Please guide me as to what can be the issue and how to resolve it. I am new to RSBBS.
Regards,
NIKEKAB

Hello,
I have changed the assignment details as the type mentioned for a field was Table field (used for non BW jumps), to Generic.
This helped me see the receiver query name when I click on GOTO.
But even now I get the same error i.e. Field symbol not yet assigned.
I went through some other posts but did not find answer to my doubt.
Any other solution.

Everything works cross broswer on Desktop - Safari, Chrome, Explorer and Firefox - mobile devices prove glichy... anyone else experience this?
It's a regular issue of mine, particularly with complex animations. Symbols disappear
- is it something to do with overflow?
- responsive scaling?
I have no idea.

Since no one has answer this post, I recommend opening a support case with CSS as they can work with you to solve this problem.
