FM for complex selection of articles (MM)

Hi there,
I'm working on a transaction to display material information (MM), like in MM43 but with data of other tables. I am designing the whole thing using my own screens. Unlike MM43, the user must be able to select more than one article in the first screen.
Do you know any function module or class method to do a multiple selection or articles, as the one in MM13?
Something that I can call in my PAI and that returns the range of articles/ranges of articles included and excluded in the selection?
thanks

Found it:
Use function module COMPLEX_SELECTIONS_DIALOG, pass a range (internal table with sign, option, ...), optionally
indicate searchhelp. This can be used for any type of field.

hi,
you can use following code.
tables vbak.
data : begin of t_vbak occurs 0.
         include structure vbak.
data : end of t_vbak.
select * from vbak into table t_vbak where
                        vbeln in saledocu and
                        erdat in date and
                        vtweg in chaneel and
                        auart in saletype.
Hope this helps.

Nested SQL statements for complex, detailed queries.

Is it possible to write nested SQL statements for complex, detailed queries. A nested query
has a WHERE clause that includes a SELECT statement ? Is it true or false ?

Hi wahid,
Here are pretty good examples:

Using BEGIN TRAN for a SELECT statement

I have inherited a number of stored procedures that are using explicit transactions and structured error handling.
I have had to review the procs due to deadlocks occurring and have found that many of them are SELECT statements.
The syntax is like this:
BEGIN TRAN
BEGIN TRY
SELECT ####
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
IF @@TRANCOUNT >0
BEGIN
ROLLBACK TRAN
INSERT ErrorLog
XXXXXX
END CATCH
IF @@TRANCOUNT > 0
BEGIN
COMMIT TRAN
END
It is very obvious that there is no purpose for explicit transactions in the select, but I am wondering if this could be a factor in the deadlocks. From what I tested using BEGIN TRAN for a select still only uses a shared lock.
Is it possible that this is a factor in the deadlocks?
David Dye My Blog

There is no need of explicit transaction in select statement what exactly would you want to rollback, nothing. Although you might use error handling depending on complexity of select involved.
Plus drawbacks is locks would be held for longer duration which MIGHT provide some help in deadlock

How To... Change the Data Type for a SELECT-OPTIONS at run time.

Hello,
I am trying to restrict the values available for entry into a SELECT-OPTIONS at run time depending on user input.
The logic is as follows. The user has two input fields. A PARAMETER field which has the type RSDIOBJNM and allows them to choose an InfoObject. And the user has a SELECT-OPTIONS field to allow them to select the Characteristic values for that InfoObject.
I would like the following example to be possible:
The user enters 0MATERIAL into the PARAMETER. When the user clicks on the SELECT-OPTIONS control code will derive a list of possible options the user can enter in the SELECT-OPTIONS. In this case only values found in the master data or at least no values greater than 18 characters.
I have looked at the following function module SELECT_OPTIONS_RESTRICT and this do not appear to be helpful as they only restrict on the signs allowed for the values (unless I misunderstand, it is a complex function module!).
The code I have so far is (thus the user enters a InfoObject into p_char1 and the select options so_char1 should only accept active values of that InfoObject):
declaration of variables for user interface
DATA c_char(32) TYPE c.
declaration of count variable
DATA i_count TYPE i.
declaration of user interface
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK a1 WITH FRAME TITLE text-001.
    PARAMETERS: p_ipack TYPE RSLOGDPID.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK a1.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK b1 WITH FRAME TITLE text-002.
    PARAMETERS: p_char1 TYPE RSDIOBJNM.
    SELECT-OPTIONS: so_char1 for c_char NO INTERVALS.
    PARAMETERS: p_char2 TYPE RSDIOBJNM.
    SELECT-OPTIONS: so_char2 for c_char NO INTERVALS.
    PARAMETERS: p_char3 TYPE RSDIOBJNM.
    SELECT-OPTIONS: so_char3 for c_char NO INTERVALS.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK b1.
Is what I am trying to do possible???
Thanks for any help. Ross.

You really want to restrict possible values of a select-option based on another field, not change the length of type of the select-option field, right?
Here is what you do: Code a custom F4 value help for the select-option at event AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE REQUEST FOR.. The first thing you do here is read the value of the parameter field (p_ipack in your example). You can use function module DYNP_VALUES_READ. Based on this value, you can propose values for the select-option fields. Note that the use can still enter whatever s(he) wishes in to the select-option field without pressing F4. In this case, you will have to code some input validations taking into account the value in the p_ipack field.

Complex select query read in Java

I want to use a custom complex select query with join of multiple tables Explicitly to read the object which itself is associated with other object through one-to-many mapping. The objects have been generated through Toplink without Indirection.
The scenario is like this:
Table: Purchase_Order Object: PurchaseOrder
2nd Table: Purchase_Order_Line Object: PurchaseOrderLine
Relationship is one-to-many between Purchase_Order and Purchase_Order_Line. Corresponding to this, PurchaseOrder has the Collection of PurchaseOrderLine without indirection.
I want to override the internal approach of Toplink by my custom select query to fetch a few attributes only. I tried it in some way but it does not return me PurchaseOrderLine collection.
Please elaborate what should be the approach to run such query in Java using Toplink API?
Thanks in advance!

Could you include the query that you have currently tried.
TopLink 9.0.4 did not support joining 1-m relationships, so this would not be possible, but TopLink 10.1.3 did add this support. You would need to add the 1-m joined attribute to the query to be able to use SQL that joins the 1-m relationship.
In terms of only selecting partial objects, you would need to enable partial object reading on the query to only have some of the object's attributes built, but I believe that 1-m joins are not currently supported for partial object reading.
You may also consider using batch reading on the 1-m in TopLink, as batch reading is more efficient at reading 1-m relationships than joining.

Field for file selection

In Acrobat Text Fields have an option Field is used for file selection. With this Text Fields it is possible to select a File in the File Browser and to show the URL of the selected File in the Textfile with a script like var ft = this.getField("URL"); ft.browseForFileToSubmit(). Has someone found a similar possibility in Designer?

getField does not work on XFA forms. Please have a look at the following document:

IMPLEMENTING PAGEWISE CONCEPT FOR COMPLEX QUERIES FOR WEB BASED TECHNOLOGIES

Dear Friends
how do i implement Page Wise concept for complex queries. Complex queries includes 'Group by', 'from selects'. Mere Rownum selection doesnt solve my problem. I have 3 buttons 'Previous', 'Next' and 'display of No. of records' . Kindly suggest me with a solution.

The only widespread way is dynamically bild a SQL clause then parse and execute it using dynamic sql (package dbms_sql) or native dynamic sql (execute immediate clause).
You can go through your already built cursor and display only those records you need (for example from 10th to 20th). I think there is no way to leave cursor open and reuse it another time. Every time You hit next, back or count button you need build new cursor (either selecting context columns to show some records or selecting count(*) to show number of records). You can generate this code with Oracle Designer, making webserver modules. Of course this will cost rather many $$$. Another tip - Designer makes this code for all situations and therefore it is somewhat difficult to understand it in the beginning. If you really need some example I can send something to you.

Disabling complex selection button

Hi Experts,
   In my select-options, based on the user ( sy-uname ), I am disabling the select-option-High value.
   i.e.      if screen-name = 'S_DATE-HIGH'.
                screen-input = 0.
             endif.
But at the same time I need to disable the complex selection button also. It means that the user has to give only one input like parameter.
How can I disable complex selection button.
Thanks and regards,
Venkat

hi,
please check this below code
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B2 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-027 .
PARAMETERS: P_RADIO1 RADIOBUTTON GROUP RAD DEFAULT 'X' USER-COMMAND UCOM .
PARAMETERS : P_KEY TYPE SYDATUM DEFAULT sy-datum MODIF ID MO1.
PARAMETERS: P_RADIO2 RADIOBUTTON GROUP RAD.
SELECT-OPTIONS: SO_BUDAT FOR BSIS-BUDAT MODIF ID MO2 .
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK B2.
*--AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT STATMENTS--
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
LOOP AT SCREEN.
     IF P_RADIO1 = 'X'.
       CHECK SCREEN-group1 = 'MO1'.
       SCREEN-INPUT = 1.
     ELSE.
       CHECK SCREEN-group1 = 'MO1'.
       SCREEN-INPUT = 0.
    ENDIF.
    MODIFY SCREEN.
ENDLOOP.

"SUIM User Users by Complex Selection Criteria by Role" question

Hi all,
Suppose the situation is:
Composite role ZCR contains single role ZSR (profile T-001) . Composite role ZCR assigned to below two users with different expire date (both users are not locked and not expire):
UserA - 01.01.2013
UserB - 01.01.2024
(Case 1) SUIM -> User -> Users by Complex Selection Criteria -> by Role (either specify ZCR or ZSR) the result is:
UserA
UserB
(Case 2) SUIM -> User -> Users by Complex Selection Criteria -> by Profiles (T-001) the result is:
UserB
Is SUIM has error or other assumption on Case 1? I expected the result is UserB only.
I knew there is program PRGN_COMPRESS_TIMES to remove assignment which have already expire and all the related tables. Please let me know if the result in case 1 is SAP standard or can be fixed by OSS notes? Thanks.
Regards,
Donald

Hi Donald,
If the user having validity expired role in his user master SU01, then the expired role can be seen under 'Role' tab in SU01 with 'Valid to' date, but the role relevant profile will be removed from user at the time of role expiration date.
So when you search for users based roles (Case 1), the SUIM lists all users who are assigned to that particular role, irrespective of expired role assignments. So in Case 1, please follow below step for accurate results.
1. (Case 1) SUIM -> User -> Users by Complex Selection Criteria -> by Role (either specify ZCR or ZSR) the result is:
UserA
UserB
2. Then select all users in SUIM output (UserA & UserB), and click on 'In Accordance with Selection' button. So that you can see the users and the (ZCR) ZSR role 'Valid to' (End Date) date for each user.
By doing second step here, you will get the accurate results. This is how the SUIM works.
Thanks

Using REST for complex RSS expressions

Hi
I have being trying to use the REST connector to receive complex data from an RSS feed but I am not having much luck.
I am looking to extract the url for the mp3 from the following rss feed
http://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/TWAN_podcast.rss
I am able to get some text items to display using different expressions but cannot get the mp3 url
this is what I have so far
Sort(First(TWAN_podcast_rss!channel)!channel!item,enclosure!'$attributes'!url)
But I get the warning saying "The property cannot consume the type of values that this rule produces.
could someone help me out if possible.
Thanks
Ronan

Hi Terje,
I was just providing Finley with screenshots for Anthony's examples from earlier in this thread. Since the URLs (in the second pic) point to the mp3 podcasts, you can bind them to an audio control to play the podcast for item selected in gallery:
You can also bind an image control to the image URL (shown below). This feed only contains a single image. If it had images at channel!item level, you could bind those to image controls within the gallery as well.
Thanks
Robin

Max. no. for multiple selection

Hi all,
Is there any maximum limit for the no. of input parameters on selection screen?

Technically there may or may not be a restriction, but more appropriate question would be why you want to hit that limit? Let us say I add 100 elements to the selection screen. Do you think the user will be comfortable working with such a complex selection screen?
Coming to the number of entries, there are limitations on how big your SELECT statement can be which is more a limitation of the underlying database than SAP restriction. So if I add say 100000 single values on to a select option instead of a range, then there may be a dump. Again, it will be a design issue, whether it should be filled that way or is there a way to fill ranges instead of single values.
It is more a ergonimical design issue than the real limits, unless you are experimenting to test the limits.
