Getting a variable value from another class

Is there any way to get the value of a variable from another class? I have a file that calls another that does some checking then gives a true or false. The place the checking is done is inside an ActionListener I want to use that value in the file that calls the second. Any help would be great.

in 'another class', implement a method,
public boolean isCheckedOutOK( Object obj )
do the comparison in that method (use a suitable argument)

How to get a int value from another class method?

Hi,
how can I get a value of another class method variable value.
example,
class elist
        int a;
     ArrayList<Event> eventArray;
     void addEvent(Event e);
     Event getEvent(int index);
     void removeEvent(int index);
     void orderEventByTime();
interface Event
     void Command();
class servo implements Event
     String ip;
     int time = 10;
     void Command();
class servo_2 implements Event
     String ip;
     int time = 20;
     void Command();
[\code]
I want to get the time value in elist variable a;
and want to compare each class time?.

Hi,
1) this foum provides means to format/tag code, no need to manually add -tags
2) by default, classname start with a capital letter, method names with a lower case letter
3) where do you want to get the time value to Elist.a? During addEvent()?
4) what do you want to do with the time value of each event? Sum all values up to make a an overall sum?
5) where do you want to compare the time value(s)?
To put it in one sentence: please be more specific with your description and answer.
Bye.

How to derive a variable value from another variable of a different IO?

Hi Gurus,
I am aware that using BEx variables and Customer Exit you are able to derive a variable value from another variable of the same infoobject (for example, Fiscal Year/Period (0FISCPER) and Calendar Day (0CALDAY)).
However, is is possible, using the same approach to derive a variable value from another variable that is in a different InfoObject? (for example, Input Fiscal Year/Period (0FISCPER) but derive Output of Required Start Date (0REQSTDAT))?
There are 2 BEx variables involved,
1) A user entry variable that is restricted in 0FISCPER
2) A customer exit variable that is restricted in ZREQSTDAT
In CMOD under EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001, Include ZXRSRU01, the code (I assume, correct me if I'm wrong) should perform 3 functions in I_STEP = 2,
1) After the pop up, capture user entry of Fiscal Year/Period
2) Identify or convert Fiscal Year/Period to Calendar Day range (unsure on how to code this portion)
3) Use the Calendar Day to lookup on matching Required Start Date and display all Required Start Date that matches. (unsure on how to code on this portion)
Hope to hear your thoughts soon.
Regards,
Eric

Hi Shanthi,
I've made the necessary adjustments. The only difference in my code is,
Instead of,
If I_VNAM = 'ZREQSTDAT'
I use,
CASE I_VNAM.
Instead of,
PARAMETERS: ZFISCPER TYPE /BI0/OIFISCPER.
ZYEAR = ZFISCPER(4).
ZMM = ZFISCPER+4(3).
I use ,
This is the Customer Exit Variable in ZREQSTDAT
WHEN 'ZRSD_CX'.
The loop I use for the User Entry Variable in 0FISCPER-ZFYP_IN
LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
      WHERE VNAM = 'ZFYP_IN'.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
        CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
ZYEAR = LOC_VAR_RANGE(4).
ZMM = LOC_VAR_RANGE+4(3).
The codes were checked with no errors.
However, when I input the Fiscal Year/Periods and hit 'Execute'. The report went blank, not sure what is the cause. I've tried it several times. No error message appeared.

Eric

Pass The Variable Value to another class

maybe just simple question, but i can't find out how to resolve it
I want to use the ResultSet for my database connection result to another class ..
this is my code
private static select(){
String URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/Chat";
String username = "root";
String password ="";
try{
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver")
}catch(exception e){
System.out.println("Failed to load MySQL driver");
Statement stmt = null;
Connection con = null;
try{
con = DriverManager.getConnection(URL,username,password);
stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet RS = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM message;");
while (RS.next()){
String command = RS.getString("command");
String source = RS.getString("source");
String target = RS.getString("target");
RS.close();
stmt.close();
con.close();
i want to retrieve those three string variable "command", "source", "target"
for example
public void run(){
while(true){
try{
select()
...... next line is to retrive those three value of string
how can do it ?
TIA

than you limeybrit9 for the answer..
i get the point, buat i still can't figure it how exactly it has to be done ..
let me try with arrayList
private static select(){
String URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/Chat";
String username = "root";
String password ="";
String[] result = new String[3];
Arrays array = new Arrays();
try{
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver")
}catch(exception e){
System.out.println("Failed to load MySQL driver");
Statement stmt = null;
Connection con = null;
try{
con = DriverManager.getConnection(URL,username,password);
stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet RS = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM message;");
while (RS.next()){
Result[0] = RS.getString("command");
Result[1] = RS.getString("source");
Result[2] = RS.getString("target");
array.asList(Result);
RS.close();
stmt.close();
con.close();
and i still dont know how to pass those arraylist in other class

Filling up a variable value from another variable

Hi,
I have two date fields, one calmonth characteristic ZCALMON (as char) and other calmonth charactaeristic 0CALMON as time dimension (standard bw).
But at query level, I would like to user enter only one variable value 0PCALMON for 0CALMON (say only for date characteristic as time dimension). This date variable value should get copied to other date characteristic ZCALMON (as char).
I can do this by using the customer exit varibale (without writing any abap code) and using the copy variable from other variable options. But I am not able to use the offset on ZCALMON.
How can i Use offset using customer exit variable on ZCALMON.
cheers
raj

Hi,
you can use customer exit variable which will read the value of the 0calmonth variable and pass it to the zcalmonth.
While populating the value, do the calculation or the off-set and send the value to zvcalmonth (Variable).
WHEN 'ZVCALMON'.
   IF i_step = '2'.
Loop at i_t_var_range into i_s_var_range where vnam = '0PCALMON' .
    zdat = i_s_var_range-low.
endloop.
      CALL FUNCTION 'GO_BACK_MONTHS' *Sample Function
        EXPORTING
          currdate   = zdat
          backmonths = '012'
        IMPORTING
          newdate    = from_period.
      CALL FUNCTION 'GO_BACK_MONTHS' *Sample Function
        EXPORTING
          currdate   = zdat
          backmonths = '000'
        IMPORTING
          newdate    = to_period.
      CLEAR l_s_range.
      lyear = from_period+0(4).
      lmon   = from_period+4(2).
      lday   = from_period+6(2).
      CONCATENATE lyear lmon lday INTO l_s_range-low.
Hope you got it

Overlap/ connect / get info / change / method from another class

I have checked this out but it did not help me much
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/javaOO/arguments.html
Now the problem : I got 4 classes and they are connected together.
The first MAIN class is Student witch lets you create a student with his student number and studio point.
StudentTest is a class witch creates a new student in Student class...
now the Student and the StudentTest work great togather, and they both check information and give a system.out.print with no problem.
I have to make a class called Eksamenskontor ( SOrry its not in english ) and this will allow you to connect to the STUDENT class and modify ( add more studentPoeng )
Then I have to make another class that test the Eksamenskontor to see if it really add and edit the studentPoeng method and returns the correct answer.
Note that the max studentPoeng allowed is 500 and more.
Posting code: this is what i have been working on so far and i cant greate or modify the studentPoeng from the new class witch edit the Eksamenskontor class... Im sorry if this is to confusing ! Im very new to java

XML reader and get the value from another class

Hello to all, I have stupid question.
I have main.java and ConfigXML.java(read my config xml file).
Code from ConfigXML.java

Element flnameEL= (Element)flnamelist.item(0);
NodeList flnameTEXT = flnameEL.getChildNodes();
String alsl = ((Node)flnameTEXT.item(0)).getNodeValue().trim();How I can get String alsl = ((Node)flnameTEXT.item(0)).getNodeValue().trim(); from my ConfigXML.java to main.java.
Sorry for my bad english

public class ConfigXML {
private String alsl;
// constructor goes here if necessary
public void parse() {
    // something
    NodeList flnamelist = flcon.getElementsByTagName("filename");
    Element flnameEL= (Element)flnamelist.item(0);

Variable value from another variable

Hi all,
I created a query where one variable fill nother variable with following abap code:
when 'ZODACE'.
    tables: /BIC/AZSD_O0100,
            /BIC/AZSD_O0200.
    ranges: r_createdon for /BIC/AZSD_O0100-CREATEDON.
break-point.
    if i_step = 2.
      loop at i_t_var_range into loc_var_range
              where vnam = 'ZDATADOC'.
        clear r_createdon.
        r_createdon-low    = loc_var_range-low.
        r_createdon-high   = loc_var_range-high.
        r_createdon-sign   = 'I'.
        r_createdon-option = 'BT'.
        append r_createdon.
        exit.
      endloop.
      select DOC_NUMBER into
             /BIC/AZSD_O0100-DOC_NUMBER
             from /BIC/AZSD_O0100
              where /BIC/ZAUDAT in r_createdon.
        select single * from /BIC/AZSD_O0200
      select * from /BIC/AZSD_O0200
               where refer_doc = /BIC/AZSD_O0100-DOC_NUMBER.

          append l_s_range to e_t_range.
      endselect.
      endselect.
    endif.
The variable are:
ZODACE based on IO 0REFER_DOC with customer exit
ZDATADOC based on IO ZDATU with manual entry
After wich end-user digit a data in ZDATADOC popup I take ODOC_NUMBER in order item ODS ZSD_O01 where ZDATADOC=CREATEDON.
With 0DOC_NUMBER I go to delivery item ODS ZSD_O02 and I take the corresponding 0REFER_DOC and then I fill variable ZODACE.
0REFER_DOC is in row of the query.
When I start the query I receive the following error message:
Error for variable in the customer exit ZODACE
and in debug i find this message:
System error in the program CL_RSR_REQUEST and Form GET_SETXX_WA
How can I do please?
Thanks in advance

This is a classic problem that coders run into when trying to get their head around object-oriented programing. Since you have a class that should be modeled after a real world object, as far as that object is concerned, no one else needs to know the details of it - without asking nicely. This is where you should set up some getters and setters, which are methods that allow fields in a class to reveal themselves or allow their states to be changed in a orderly fashion.
There are a number of fields that never need to be known outside of the class. Then there are some fields you would like to let people know about, but don't want them to have the ability to change them. In the example below, there are to getter methods allow return of the necessary fields. If you made these public, there is a possibility that someone utilizing this field may change it outside of its intended use, or access them without them being ready for public consumption.
Class test {
//These private variables are only visible from the class
private int grade1 = 0;
private int grade2 = 0;
private int grade3 = 0;
private float average = 0;
private int gradeboost = 0;
//This method sets the gradeboost field to one desired by the instructor
void setboost(int boost) {
gradeboost = boost;
//These methods accept test scores and compute the average for three test
//Notice that the calculated average may not be the true average of the three test scores
//because of the possibility of gradeboost calculation being greater than 1
void test1(int score) {
         grade1 = score;
         average = (grade1 + grade2 + grade3 + gradeboost)/3;
void test2(int score) {
         grade2 = score;
         average = (grade1 + grade2 + grade3 + gradeboost)/3;
void test3(int score) {
         grade3 = score;
         average = (grade1 + grade2 + grade3 + gradeboost)/3;
//This is a getter method, which provides read access to the private variable average
//If someone just had public access to the grades and wanted to take their own average
//They would miss how the gradeboost field affects the final outcome.
float getAverage() {
    return average;
//Here is a getter method, which accepts an argument to determine which test score to return
//Notice that this isn't the true testscore, but it has been modified by the gradeboost field.
//If the user had public access to the true testscore, it wouldn't take into account the gradeboost calculation!!
//This is how a getter can control exactly what a user has access to.
float get testScore(int test) {
float testresult = 0;
if (test = 1) {
       testresult = (grade1+ gradeboost) / 3;
if (test = 2) {
       testresult = (grade2+ gradeboost) / 3;
if (test = 3) {
       testresult = (grade3+ gradeboost) / 3;
return testresult;
}

Calling a class's method from another class

Hi, i would like to know if it's possible to call a Class's method and get it's return from another Class. This first Class doesn't extend the second. I've got a Choice on this first class and depending on what is selected, i want to draw a image on the second class witch is a Panel extended. I put the control "if" on the paint() method of the second class witch is called from the first by the repaint() (first_class.repaint()) on itemStateChanged(). Thankx 4 your help.

Creating Variable with Replacement Path to get value from ANOTHER Variable

Hi all,
    Is anyone has created the Variable with Replacement Path to get the value from another User Entry Variable, PLEASE ?
First created the User Entry Variable (ZV_X) and it accepts the date range like '01/01/2009 - 01/31/2009'. Next created the Characteristic variable (ZV_Y) of Replacement Path for which source variable will be ZV_X and we should get the 'FROM Date' (01/01/2009) from the selection (ZV_X) into it (ZV_Y).
While creating the Characteristic variable (ZV_Y) of Replacement Path, I didn't find my newly created ZV_X variable in the list of available variables under 'Variable' header in 'Replacement Path' tab and it is causing the error 'Source to replace variable ZV_Y is not defined'. How could I create the Characteristic variable of Replacement Path for my requirement, PLEASE ?
The following is from help.sap..com:
Replace with Characteristic Value
Text and formula variables with the processing type Replacement Path can be replaced with a corresponding characteristic value. In the variable editor, on the General tab page, you specify under Reference Characteristic the characteristic that is to be referenced by the replacement. On the Replacement Path tab page, you can choose whether the variable is replaced with the From or the To Value and with the Key or the Name of the characteristic value. You can also specify the Offset Start and Offset Length for the output.
Replace with Variable
Characteristic value variables, hierarchy variables, text variables, and formula variables with the Replacement Path processing type can take their values from a different variable.
The following prerequisites need to be fulfilled:
Variable
●      The variable must not be input-ready
●      The variable must represent a single value
Source Variable
●      The source variable must not be a hierarchy node variable
●      The source variable must be input-ready
●      The source variable must be available in the query
●      The source variable must represent a single value or an interval
In the variable editor, on the Replacement Path tab page, you specify the source variable from which the value is to be determined. The value is either determined from the key, the external attribute of the key, the description, or the attribute value. You can specify an Offset Start and an Offset Length for the output here. The variable is replaced on the variable screen upon each data release.
Thanks,
Venkat.

Hi Eve,
It is possible to connect the 2 queries using a Replacement Path characteristic variable. You would need to create the variable on the char whose values you want to pass from Q1 to Q2. The variable will be of type replacement path and you will need to enter the name of Q1 from which it will get the values. Make sure that you include this char in the query definition of Q1 and Q2. In Q2 you will restrict the characteristic using this variable. DO not use this variable (replacement path) in Q1.
In your query properties check if you have turned on the checkmark for Release for OLE DB for OLAP (3rd tab). If the check mark is there, then remove it.
We are using the scenario in a couple of places, and it works very well.
Hope this helps...

Variable type Hierarchy, how to get the value from another similar variable

Hi.
We have created a variable, type hierarchy (using ORGEH hierarchy in HR based on 0ORGUNIT). Let's call this VAR1. We want to fill this with an User Exit, beacuse we want VAR1 to have the value from another variable, VAR2, which is also type hierarchy (and based on the same characteristic).
However, when we program this user exit and use the VAR1 afterwards, it just behaves as if we have a single characteristic value and not a node value. As a result, we just get posts which do have the 'parent itself' as characteristic value, and none of the subnodes... Any hints as to what we can do in our User exit to get the value passed over from VAR2 to VAR1 as a node value? Is there any spesific syntax to be used here that we are missing? ( The VAR1 and VAR2 are both defined as hierarchy variables, we have double checked...).

Hi,
are you on BI7.0? There you can create variables type replacement path and get the value out from a different variable without any coding.
regards
Cornelia

Accessing a variable defined in one class from another class..

Greetings,
I've only been programming in as3 for a couple months, and so far I've written several compositional classes that take MovieClips as inputs to handle behaviors and interactions in a simple game I'm creating. One problem I keep coming upon is that I'd love to access the custom variables I define within one class from another class. In the game I'm creating, Main.as is my document class, from which I invoke a class called 'Level1.as' which invokes all the other classes I've written.
Below I've pasted my class 'DieLikeThePhishes'. For example, I would love to know the syntax for accessing the boolean variable 'phish1BeenHit' (line 31) from another class. I've tried the dot syntax you would use to access a MovieClip inside another MovieClip and it doesn't seem to be working for me. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks,
- Jeremy

I would approach it in much the same way as you would in java, by making getters and setters for all of your class variables.
Getters being for returning the values, Setters being for setting them.
So you would make a get function for the variable you want to access ala:
function get1PhishBeenHit():boolean {
return this.phish1BeenHit;
Then to access the value of that variable from outwith the class:
var result:boolean = ClassInstanceName.get1PhishBeenHit();

Problem getting arraylist from another class

I am trying to call information about an arraylist from another class. I am using this code to call the size of an arraylist:
import java.io.*;
public class Test
    public static void main(String argv[]) throws IOException
Echo03 thing = new Echo03();
int y=thing.value();
System.out.println(y);
Echo03 thing2 = new Echo03();
int x=thing2.percent.size();
System.out.println(x);
}from another file which starts like this:
public class Echo03 extends DefaultHandler
static ArrayList<String> percent = new ArrayList<String>();
static ArrayList<String> text = new ArrayList<String>();
int a;
public int value(){
     return percent.size();
public static void main(String argv[]) throws IOException
    {The second file is based on an example piece of code from the Java website. I havent posted the whole thing, but if it is relevant then please ask.
Anyway when I run Echo03 by itself, the arraylist has a size of 2. But when I run it from the Test file, it says a size of 0. Is this because the data is not being transferred between the classes? Or is the Echo03 program not executing (and hence the arraylist is not filling up)?
How can I fix this? I have tried 2 ways of calling the data (As seen in my Test file). Neither work.

I didnt post the full bit of the code for the second one. Here it is:
import java.io.*;
import org.xml.sax.*;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory;
import javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException;
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Echo03 extends DefaultHandler
static ArrayList<String> percent = new ArrayList<String>();
static ArrayList<String> text = new ArrayList<String>();
int a;
public static void main(String argv[]) throws IOException
        if (argv.length != 1) {
            System.err.println("Usage: cmd filename");

Using Variables/Arrays from one class in another

Hello all,
First, to explain what I am attempting to create, is a program that will accept input of employee names and hours worked into an array. The first class will accept a command line argument when invoked. If the argument is correct, it will call another class that will gather information from the user via an input box. After all names and hours have been input for employees, this class will calculate the salary based upon the first letter of each employee name and print the total hours, salary, etc. for each employee.
What I need to do now is to split the second class into two: one that will gather the data and another that will calculate and print the data. Yes, this is an assignment. However, I am trying to learn and I have gotten this far, but I am stuck on how to get a class to be able to use an array/variables from another class.
I realize the below code isn't exactly cleaned up...yet.

Call the other class's methods. (In general, you
shouldn't even try to access fields from the other
class.) Also you should be looking at an
instance of the other class, and not the class
itself, generally.Would I not call the other classes method's by someting similar as below?:
AverageSalaryCalcAndPrint averageSalaryCalcAndPrint = new AverageSalaryCalcAndPrint();
          averageSalaryCalcAndprint.calcAndPrint(); Well... don't break down classes based on broad steps
of the program. Break them down by the information
being managed. I'm not expressing this well...Could you give an example of this? I'm not sure I'm following well.
Anyway, you want one or more objects that represent
the data, and operations on that data. Those
operations include calculations on the data. Other
classes might represent the user interface, and
different output types (say, a file versus the
console).Yes, the requirements is to have a separate class to gather the data, and then another class to calculate and print the data. Is this what you mean in the above?
