Global variable 255 char

Hi,
I'm passing values from "Called form" to "Calling form". But the values are more than 255 chars. How can pass values from CALLED form to CALLING form?
Parameter won't work for this scenario. Please help me.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Brian Hill ([email protected]):
Try using form Parameters - pass a parameter list from the calling form to the called form. For Char data, you have a maximum length of 2048 characters.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
To: Brain Hill
Calling form to Called form - Parameter is teh best solution.
Called form to Calling form - ???
To: Madhavi
Can I pass record group from Called for Calling form? Could you explain me in detail?
Thanks to you all.

Replacing 20 fixstatements by Global Variable - Problem 255 bytes length

Hello,
we have an issue in businessrules with setting the fix statement on 1 dimension:
we currently use Fix (@RELATIVE("CBU_ALL",0) ) - on level 0 are approx. 3000 members - on medium level are 20 CBUs Seat and 20 CBUs Door
we have approx. 20-30 similar businessrules - which either calculate on seat or door CBUs
the requirement is to either calculate with a rule the 20 CBUs for Seats or the 20 CBUs for Doors
as we currently do not fix properly on either Seat or Door CBUs, we calculate approx. 1500 empty members (empty, if fix in another dimension done correctly) - tests showed, that this doubles the time which would be needed.
I know we could easily set 20 fixes in each business rule:
@RELATIVE("CBU_BMW_Seat",0)
....20 more....
@RELATIVE("CBU_Ford_Seat",0)
(the fix above would then exclude the 1500 members, which are below:
@RELATIVE("CBU_BMW_Doors",0)
....20 more....
@RELATIVE("CBU_Ford_Doors",0)
unfortunately, the number of CBUs/Customers is frequently renamed or some are added, so I can not afford to built these 20 fixstatements into 20 different businessrules and maintain them all the time.
I thought of using UDAs or Attribute Values -
but it seems not to be possible in a fixstatment to combine a relative or Children fixstatement with UDAs, which are set on the upper member ?
I assume it works, if I classify all 3000 level 0 members with UDA or attribute SEATS or DOORS - but that's inefficient
@RELATIVE("CBU_BMW_Seat",0) AND @UDA(CBU,"SEATS")
@CHILDREN("CBU_BMW_Seat") AND @UDA(CBU,"SEATS")
@Descendants("CBU_BMW_Seat") AND @UDA(CBU,"SEATS")
@UDA(CBU,"SEATS")
generally, it seems not to be allowed to combine Children or descendant fixes with any other relations or conditions ?
@CHILDREN(@Match(CBU," Seat") ) (attempt to search for all children of all CBUs with Seat in its name)
So the idea is to define 2 global variables:
1 for Seats and 1 for Doors:
[SEAT] includes then then: @children("CBU_BMW_Seat") ... 20 more @children("CBU_Ford_Seat")
advantage would be, we can maintain the list of CBUs in 1 place
my problem is: length of global variable is limited to 255 bytes - I need 800 to 900 digits to define the 20 CBUs
having 8 global variables instead of 40 CBUs referenced in Fixstatements is not really an advantage
even if I would rename the CBUs to just S1,S2,S3,S4 D1,D2,D3 (S for Seat, D for Door) (and use aliases in Planning and Reporting with full name to have the right meaning for the users), it does not fit into 1 variable: @children("S1"), @Children("S2"), ..... is simply too long (still 400 digits)
also other attempts to make the statement shorter, failed:
@children(@list("CBU_BMW_Seat","CBU_Ford_Seat",.....)) is not allowed
is there any other idea of using global variables, makros, sequences ?
is there a workaround to extend global variable limit ? we have release 9.3.1 - is this solved in future releases ?
are there any other commands, which I can combine in clever way in fixstatements with
@relative
@children
@descendants
with things like @match @list ?
(Generation and Level are no approrate criteria for Separating Seat and Doors, as the hierarchy is the same)
please understand, that as we use this application for 5 years with a lot of historic data and it's a planning application with a lot of webforms and financial reports, and all the CBU members are stored members with calculated totals and access rights and setup data on upper members,
I can not simply re-group the whole cbu structure and separate Seats and Doors just for calculation performance
CBU dimension details is like this:
Generation:
1 CBU_ALL
2 CBU_BMW
3 CBU_BMW_Seat
4 Product A
4 Product B
..... hundreds more
3 CBU_BMW_Door
4 Product C
4 Product D
.... hundreds more
2 CBU_Ford
3 CBU_Ford_Seat
4 Product E
4 Product F
.... hundreds more
3 CBU_Ford_Doors
4 Product G
4 Product H
.... hundreds more
20 more CBUs with below 20 CBUs Seat and 20 CBUs Door

How hard would it be to insert 2 children under CBU_All? Name them CBU_Seats and CBU_Doors, then group all the Seats and Doors under them.
Then your calc could be @Relative(CBU_Doors, 0).
I know it's not always easy or feasible to effect change to a hierarchy, but I just had the thought.

Spool List output display 255 char when the rpt is run in Background

Hi Friends,
I tried executing a program in Background.. The report output has more than 64 columns ( more than 255 char ) ..
Iam using "REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY" for displaying the list.
My Problem:
1. The spool list is truncated after 255 characters when i run in background.
2. Th output in Spool List is coming in 2 rows ... not very clear ... becoz of that the grid lines are not getting displayed.
3. I ve not used any Standard - line size for dislaying ..
4. In foreground i am able to display all the 64 columns... Y not in Background......
5. My Printer setting is ..X_255 .... only ...
Requirement:
1. What should i do to increase the spool list display to more than 255 characters
2. Or how to save the background run reports output to an excel sheet as how we 'll take the from the foreground.
Expecting your answers,
Thanks in Advance...
Cheers,
R.Kripa .........
Enjoy ABAPing ..........
new upcoming Abaper ....

Hello Kripa,
You need to perform two actions.
1. set an appropriate format for the printer you are using. As explained from the previous messages you go to: SPAD -> output devives (type the printer you are using) -> from the menu ..-> goto -> device type -> formats. In there create a new format like Z_65_650
or Z_65_xxxx where xxxx could be up to 1065. This is the length of your report.
When you give your report in background, do not forget to choose the new format you created.
2. After the spool request is created, you take its number and use it ar a parameter in the following report.
Please copy and paste it in a new program, maybe called ZRSPOSHOWSPOOLLIST.
It should work then.

How to create a global variable in forms 6i

How to create a global variable in forms 6i

:GLOBAL.my_var := 15; Well, this statement is not correct! Global variables
stores a character string of up to 255 characters in
length. Thus, valid statement for Khurram example
is:
:GLOBAL.my_var := TO_CHAR(15);
or
:GLOBAL.my_var := '15';
But numeric values are implicitly converted by oracle so there's nothing in fact wrong with the statement...
:GLOBAL.my_var := 15;
;)

Global Variable in Oracle Forms 6i

Hi,
How & where to define global variable in Oracle form 6i and also let me know how to access it.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Sanket

hi
Global variable are forms specifice variable.
it can store character value upto 255 for all usages.
We can initialize it when we declare otherwise give error if we did not assign it any value.
Oracle 10g it can take upto 4000 bytes
GLOBAL.ur_globalvar := TO_CHAR(15);
or
:GLOBAL.ur_globalvar:= '15';
or
Remmber numeric values are implicitly converted by oracle 2 character
:GLOBAL.ur_globalvar:= 15;
-- which can then subsequently be accessed using...
:GLOBAL.ur_globalvar;
-- To destroy a global variable and release its memory, use the ERASE built-in procedure:
Erase('GLOBAL.my_var'); Regards,

Need to print a text of 255 char from a Ztable into sap script printing.

Hi All,
I Have a requirement where I have to fetch an incoterm description maintained in Z table according to incoterm key and print it via SAP script.
I am getting the complete 255 char data in the variable which I am passing to the script from the driver program, However in the output I can see only 80 characters getting printed.
My code
Subroutine created in se71
DEFINE &L_VTEXT& = SPACE
PERFORM GET_INCOTERMS IN PROGRAM ZMM_MEDRUCK
USING &EKKO-INCO1&
CHANGING &L_VTEXT&
ENDPERFORM
Form created in Driver program:
FORM get_incoterms TABLES pt_input STRUCTURE itcsy
                                             pt_output STRUCTURE itcsy.
   DATA: l_vtext TYPE zincoterms-vtext.
   READ TABLE pt_input WITH KEY name = 'EKKO-INCO1'.
   SELECT SINGLE vtext FROM zincoterms INTO l_vtext
       WHERE inco1 = pt_input-value.
   CLEAR pt_output.
   pt_output-value = l_vtext.
   MODIFY pt_output TRANSPORTING value WHERE name = 'L_VTEXT'.
ENDFORM.
Note: Here pt_output-value is having a complete 255 char data
I have tried printing it using offset as well, However complete text is not getting printed.
Please help me in solving this issue as it is urgent requirement.
Thanks and Regards,
Ankit

Hi Ankit,
   pt_output-value = l_vtext.
   MODIFY pt_output TRANSPORTING value WHERE name = 'L_VTEXT1'.
   pt_output-value = l_vtext+80.
   MODIFY pt_output TRANSPORTING value WHERE name = 'L_VTEXT2'.
   pt_output-value = l_vtext+160.
   MODIFY pt_output TRANSPORTING value WHERE name = 'L_VTEXT3'.
   pt_output-value = l_vtext+240.
   MODIFY pt_output TRANSPORTING value WHERE name = 'L_VTEXT4'.
I guess it's a workaround if it's really urgent. Present variables next to one another.
regards,
Edgar

Call function in LabView from a DLL, then access global variable from DLL

I have created a DLL in LabWindows with a function and a structure. I want to call the function from within LabView and then access the global structure. I am able to call the function from the DLL with a "Call Library Function Node" and can access the return value, but I cannot figure out how to access the global structure. The structure is declared in the DLL header file with __declspec(dllimport) struct parameters.
Is there any way of accessing this structure without using the Network Variable Library?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

dblok wrote:
When you say "access to" or "the address of" the global variable, do you mean to pass the variable as an argument to the function call in the DLL? If so, then I was not really sure how to pass a cluster from LabView by using the "Call Library Function Node".
Yes, that's exactly right. I would include a pair of helper functions in the DLL to read and write the global variable. Alternatively you might write separate helper functions for each field inside the global structure, depending on the number of fields and whether you want to do any validation on the values.
You can pass a cluster by reference to a function that expects a struct by setting the parameter to Adapt to Type, so long as the cluster does not contain any variable-length elements (strings or arrays). The cluster needs to match the struct exactly, and sometimes that involves adding extra padding bytes to make the alignment work. Variable-length elements in LabVIEW need to be converted to clusters containing the same number of elements as the struct definition (for example, if your struct contains char name[12], you would create a cluster of 8 U8 values, and you could use String to Array of Bytes followed by Array to Cluster to convert a LabVIEW string into that format). If the struct contains pointers it gets more complicated, and it may be easier to write functions in the DLL to access those specific elements individually.
If you can't get this working or need help, post your code and an explanation of the error or problem you're seeing.
EDIT: it is also possible to include a single function in the DLL that returns the address of the global variable, which LabVIEW can then use to access and modify the data, but that's more complicated and likely to lead to crashes if you don't get the memory addressing exactly right.

How to get a field more than 255 char back in ITCSY stru

I am getting multiple invoice numbers from the calling pg. The calling pring pg is standard, so cannot touch that.
Now in my sapscript, i have to concatenate all invoice numbers and show them.
I had used a perform to do so.
It was fine till now. But recently we found that invoice numbers can be so many as to cross 255 char in total.
How to get it done now? ITCSY struc has limitation of only 255 char .
Please advise.
Thanks in adv

hi,
say for example the number was around 300 characters.... so when you are calling the subroutine pass on 2 variables with two different names say var1 and var2 these both can accommodate around 255 characters each....
now in the subroutine split the values into these two variables....
and in script
&var1[c]&&var2[c]&
this will compress the spaced between them.... hence its similar to concatenate...

Global Variables in BI

Hi,
Can anyone explain me the steps to create global variables in BI with out using Query designer?
I do not have the infoobject in my cube but still I need a variable i.e for currency translation with out the need of adding the infoobject to the cube.
Thanks
Sri

Hi Sri,
You can create a bew variable in table RSZGLOBV. Also all variables used in BW Queries are global, i.e. not tied to any InfoProvider. You can use a variable created for a query on Cube A, in a query on cube B. The variables are attached to the InfoObjects (Char variables). There are other variables like formula variables which may not be attached to an InfoObject.
Hope this helps...

Const not allowed in global variable definitions?

Can someone tell me why the compiler complains when I do this:
const int MY_CONST = 100;
char *myStr[MY_CONST];
This is being done outside of a function, as I want myStr to be a global variable.
I get an error saying the initializer must be constant. I've tried this with other compilers, and they don't complain. Any ideas?
Thanks.

In C a variable of type int remains a variable, even if the const keyword prevents it is modifiend during program life. Given this, C does not permit to use it in a array definition since it is not a "constant". As far as I know C++ does permit this declaration.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Declare global variable and retrive?

Hi,
we are working in live project in webtool, we wants to create global variable,
calling that variable in a required pages, our questions is that where to declare global variable and how to declare in which page we have to declare? pls guide us its very urgent and send the code.

Kannan.D
Edited by: kannan desikan on Jan 14, 2008 8:07 AM

Hi Kannan,
I would suggest using a comma delimied list or putting it in the database.
ArrayList myList = new ArrayList();
myList.Add("one");
myList.Add("two");
myList.Add("three");
string comma = "";
// store the array in the session state
foreach (string s in myList){
Session["persistedArray"] += comma + s;
comma = ",";
To get the array back
if (Session["persistedArray"] != null){
ArrayList myList = Session["persistedArray"].ToString().Split(new char[1] {','});
If your array is storing objects, you should use the database.

List-processing: limitations to 255 chars per line?

Hi,
check the sample code below and if possible, execute it in some of your systems:
start-of-code
REPORT ZISM_TEST52 LINE-SIZE 300.
DATA:
line(300) TYPE c.
WRITE '0123456789' TO line+250(10).
WRITE: / 'From variable', /.
WRITE line.
WRITE: / 'Directly to the list', /.
WRITE AT 251 '0123456789'.
end-of-code
As you can see from the execution, when writing something into the char variable (in this case line), and try to put it into your screen, there is a limitation - only the first 255 characters of the variable take place in the resulted list. But, if you write directly into the list, this limitation is missing.
My question is closely related to this limitation:
Is there a possibility to avoid this limitation while putting something into the variable, and after that writing it to the list?
Situation is: I have quite complex report to rewrite (with several lists, and complex header texts for each list), which uses this technique - write to internal table, after that loop at the table and use simple write statement. I would like to save my effort and time and to use a a possibility to write variables longer than 255 chars to the list - if there is any.
So? Is there such a possibility?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ivaylo Mutafchiev

HI Ivaylo
Below is from documenation:
Creates a report with col columns per line.
If the LINE-SIZE specification is missing, the line length corresponds to the current screen width. The system field SY-LINSZ contains the current line size for generating lists. The maximum width of a list is 1023 characters. You should keep lists to the minimum possible size to improve useability and performance (recommendation: LINE-SIZE < 132). For very wide lists (LINE-SIZE > 255), you should consult the notes for using LINE-SIZE
greater than 255.
Notes
The specified LINE-SIZE must not appear in quotation marks.
If the you want the report list (i.e. the output) to be printable, do not define a LINE-SIZE with a value greater than 132 because most printers cannot handle wider lists. You cannot print lists wider than 255 characters at all using the standard print functions. To print the contents of the lists, you need to write a special print routine that arranges the data in shorter lines (for example, using the PRINT ON addition in the NEW-PAGE statement.
At the beginning of a new list level, you can set a fixed line width for the level using the ... LINE SIZE addition to the NEW-PAGE statement.
Maybe the highlighted portion might be one reason for this behaviour.
Kind Regards

Substitiute for Global variable

i have a doubt if we can use anything other than a Global variable like:-
:global.<var_name>
for a variable i define at the form level, say 'When-new-form-instance' trigger and use it at block & item level.
In a big application, there is a doubt of using a Global variable twice.
Regards.

Hi,
Decalre a variable in an package specification and use that for your purpose.
Global variables are good and bad at the same time. Once declared the live for the whole session. Each of them occupy 255 bytes of memory, so it's bad practise to use them heavily. Instead you can use the same variable again and again, but be aware: Since they keep their value they could lead to undesired behaviour unless you are careful and null's them (or give them a default value) each time you have used them. Often I capture their value in the pre-form trigger, store the value in a package variable within the form, and then give the global a value of '-1' (which is my default).

Updating a "3D curve" global variable

I'm using a "3D curve" globla variable. I can't find the way to properly update the plots of that variable ? On my main VI the 3D curve works fine but the global variable doesn't update.

Salut Tartanpion !
May be you could post an example/ sample of your vi. Otherwise I'm afraid nobody will be able to help you...
