Header file entry for Text Channel

I have taken an ASCII Text Data file, read the file, and created a Header File, then saved the data into a binary file. This is my attempt to speed up the loading of the text file. One of the columns is a text column, containing a flag for the state of the test. I can not figure out how to define the column as a Text Column in the Header File. If I define it as a numeric column, it returns an error for every entry in the data file. Normal (one of the states) is not a Numeric Value.
The script file(s) I am using is a modification of a script listed on this board by Brad Turpin ( TimeSlice DAT Hdr Create.zip ) The only thing I have changed is the Test for the Channel Name to see if it contains on of 3 states. If Date is present in the Channel Name , it changes the field to a Time channel, if the channel contains Relay it changes it to a Text channel (which doesn't work), else the Channel is a Numeric.
There must be a way to define a Text Channel in a Header File. I hope someone can show me the way.
Thanks

Hello Bill!
The DAT format was never able to store text channels (TDM is able today). Please refer to the DAT format description on your DIAdem CD or in this post.
Your idea to convert it to a numeric value is the right way. The error message must come out of the header. Do you convert all properties to numeric values? See page 4-6 and following in the header description or search for the word 'normal' in the created header file.

  • No planning file entry for safety stock

    hello!
    i do not have a planning file entry for safety stock. my material has required safety stock and no quantity on plant stock. therefore MD01 should create a purchase requisition - but is does not. i do not have an entry in the planning file as well.
    any ideas what could be the reason?
    thanks!

    Hi,
    - First of all check whether MRP is activated or not for Perticuller Plant.T.code is OMDU.
    - Which MRP type is maintained for that material?
    - In rare cases (Materials uploaded by LSMW using Badi) it is observed that system miss to make the entry in Planing File.So better will be set a Back Ground job to activate Planing file OMD0 or make manual entry using T.code MD20.

  • Planning file entry for MRP Area

    Hi,
    To create planning file entry in the background at plant level we use Transaction MDAB. I would like to know that if MRP area is active than whats the T-code for planning file entry in the background at mrp area level?? To create manualy in the Trx md20 we have that option to select mrp area & plant. So please let me know yours view on this.
    Thanks & Regards
    Kundan Kumar

    Dear,
    If planning file entry are there on plant level then system will convert same on MRp area level. Have you check that tables? (DBVM)
    For planning file entry at MRP area lvel , use report RMDBVM00 (transaction OM0F) to convert the existing table MDVM with the planning file entries into table DBVM. The conversion is also described in MRP Customizing: TA OPP1 -> Planning File Entries.
    There is no need of MDAB just check your entry in MD21 take a MRP run at MRP area lvel and come back if any problem.
    If you want to schedule it on MRP area lvel then use the MDRE or use program RMMDVM10 and in variant here select the MRP Area redio button.

  • What's This Help not working for one entry in each header file

    I have a large RoboHelp project that I have imported into Version 8 from a previous version. Prior to the import into Version 8, all of the What's This Help in the project was working perfectly; now, post-import, I have a problem.
    Firstly, some background information.
    My project contains a large number of individual header (.H) files, one for each dialog within the software. These header files, which have been generated and provided by our developers, contain one entry for each field on the dialog to which the header file relates. The header files are all contained within a \HTML Topics\Fields\ folder (going from the root of my Help project).
    Each header file has a corresponding text (.TXT) file. These text files contain entries that correspond to the entries in the relevant header file. The text files are also contained within the \HTML Topics\Fields\ folder.
    Below is an example of the contents of a header file:
    #define IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_HIEARCHY_LIST          16811
    #define IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_ADD_APPEARANCE         16812    
    #define IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_REMOVE_APPEARANCE      16813
    Below is the contents of the corresponding text file:
    .topic IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_ADD_APPEARANCE
    Click this button to add a new row of hierarchical appearance settings to the grid.
    .topic IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_HIEARCHY_LIST
    Use this grid to define hierarchy appearance settings. Each row in the grid represents a level of the hierarchy. For example, the appearance settings you define for the first row apply to the top level of hierarchy, the settings you define for the second row apply to the second level, and so on.
    .topic IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_REMOVE_APPEARANCE
    Click this button to delete the selected row of hierarchical appearance settings from the grid.
    The What's This Help that was part of the original project still works perfectly. However, after upgrading the project to RoboHelp Version 8, I have had to update the project to reflect changes to the software. As part of this work, I have imported some new header files and updated some existing ones - and edited the corresponding text files accordingly.
    The What's This Help that is covered by the header files that I have imported since the upgrade to RoboHelp Version 8 does not work correctly; in each case, the What's This Help does not work for whichever field appears at the top of the appropriate text file. The position of the entry in the corresponding header file does not make a difference.
    If I manually edit a text file to move a different entry to the top then recompile the Help project, the What's This Help does not work for the field that now appears at the top of the text file - and the What's This Help for the field that used to appear at the top of the text file now works.
    I've tried everything I can think of to fix this, but nothing has worked. It seems as if there is a problem in the way RoboHelp is compiling the header and text files.
    If I use Microsoft HTML Help Workshop to decompile the CHM file, then view the contents of the resulting, decompiled text files, the affected files appear as follows:
    .topic IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_ADD_APPEARANCE
    Click this button to add a new row of hierarchical appearance settings to the grid.
    .topic 16811
    Use this grid to define hierarchy appearance settings. Each row in the grid represents a level of the hierarchy. For example, the appearance settings you define for the first row apply to the top level of hierarchy, the settings you define for the second row apply
    to the second level, and so on.
    .topic 16813
    Click this button to delete the selected row of hierarchical appearance settings from the grid.
    Note how the entry at the top - which relates to the What's This Help that doesn't work - appears differently to the other entries which do work. The name of the ID appears after ".topic" rather than the appropriate ID number.
    Any help that anyone can provide me with would be very much appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Mark

    Its working now. We just kept trying to reinstall the tools and restarting indesign. On the 4th time the buttons started working. I can't explain why it finally worked, just that it is working now.

  • Issue in Planning file entry creation for materials

    Hi all,
    There are some materials for which there are no planning file entries inspite of having MRP data and valid MRP type.
    The reason (1) could be that those materials might have been created before MRP was activated for that plant. Another reason (2)is that materials created by certain batch SAP programs do not trigger the creation of a planning file entry automatically, the way a MM01 normally does when you create a material. Otherwise when a material is created with MRP data & valid MRP type, the material will be automatically included in the Planning File.
    Please let me know whether my understanding on the above( reason no.1 & 2) is valid or not. Is there any SAP / OSS document / SAP help related to this information on reason (2) that you can share with us? If you could share any link of any such document, it will be really helpful.
    Thanks a lot,
    Regards
    Brijesh

    Dear,
    Reason could be
    System will maintain the Planning File Entry Automatically once MRP is activated for particular Plant (T.Code OMDU).But if Materials are created Before this activation then you have to do manual entry of those Materials in Planning File using T.Code MD20 or using Background job MDBT.
    If you create the materials or upload materials before activation plant for MRP this may be the cause for this.
    Go to OMDU here is tick mark for plant activation for MRP if you activated after material master creation then system will not create planning file entry for these material.
    In my case every thing was maintained than also no planned order generated? Pls put some more fact on this.
    Before running MRP we used to run MDRE. But in the result spool list there is no content
    Create the variant and run it in Back ground
    For this you need to you need to create the variant for planning file entry and its consistence check in OMDU and execute it to avoid such type of issue.
    Hope clear to you.

  • Planning file Entries

    Hi Friends
    When is a Planning File Entry is Created?? During the creation of Material master?? We have uploaded the material Master and found that there are few materials for which Planning File Entries are not createdu2026.. How can we overcome this??  Do we have to create the planning file entries using MD20??
    Is there any views which are required for Planning file entry Creation?? Like MRP 1 u2013 4 Views should be there for Planning File entry Creations??
    Please get back to me on the above.
    Jade

    Dear,
    All materials assigned with MRP are automatically entered in planning file entry.
    Depends on changes in material planning or in proposal , system will create planning file entry.
    When MRP run system will consider only which materials having entry in above contents of planning file entry.
    If the materials is created before activating planning file for plant, you must generate planning file entry for all material by tcode MDAB.
    T-Code :
    MD20 Create planning file entry
    MD21 Display planning file entry
    MDAB Set up planning file entry in background
    MDRE Check planning file entry
    For the first time (just before Go-live), it is advisable to create the Planning file entries mnually and execute the MRP.. This is to reduce the inconsistencies..
    But, system will automatically Creates the Planning File entry, if the Material is relevnt for planning.
    First time MRP Run with NEUPL will not consider the planning file entries..
    So, after that every thing will be stream lined.
    In rare cases systm may miss the entering the Material details in the Planning file

  • MRP AREA NETCH indicator missing in planning file entry

    Hi,
    MRP has been activated at MRP area level storage location level and there were no planning file entries for some materials because we were using the LSMW program RMDATIND for uploading the materials and there was no update flag for Planning File entries. Later we have updated the Direct input session with update Flag.
    I already ran the MDAB and MDRE so by the missing planning file entries.
    We are running the background job RMMRP000 for the MRP. There are some materials which are not being planned in the background job. When i run the MRP for the same materials in MD02/MD03, the procurement proposals are being created using MD02/MD03.
    I checked in MD21, we can see the Planning file entries then there no indicator for NETCH.
    What could be the reason?

  • Inconsistency in Planning file entry

    Hi Experts,
    Planning file entry is maintained for few set of materials.The issue is that the planning file entry for few materials have been deleted.How can I find for which all materials the planning file entry is deleted.
    Also we have a program RMMDVM10 running on weekly basis.But no planning file inconsistency for the materials is reported in the spool of this program.How can the deleted planning file entires for the materials be set automatically again?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ameya Khanwalkar

    Dear Ameya,
    Planning File entries can be set manually for each material or using a batch job using T.Code MD20/MDAB.
    Consistency check for the planning file: Since the entries in the planning file are permanent, you must check their MRP
    relevancy regularly. If, for example, a plant is subsequently excluded from material requirements planning, its materials will still
    be included in the planning file. The same applies for materials that are subsequently flagged with the MRP type No MRP and are
    thus excluded from MRP. In such cases, you should delete the entries in the planning file.
    The same can checked by running the batch job through scheduling it in T.Code MDRE.

  • Can MRP run without Planning File Entry?

    Hi,
        I came across an issue where MRP is running accurately without any Planning File Entry for a material in E.C.C.6.
        My Understanding is MRP can NOT run w/o PFE u2013 which is a mandatory prerequisiteu2026..BUTu2026???
    TRY itu2026   1.in OMDU find a plant where MRP is NOT active,    2. Create a Material with all required data (I used ROH, Proc.Typreu2013 F, Strategy u2013 70, Mixed MRP-1, Ind/Coll u2013 2)   3. Activate MRP for the Plant in OMDU.   4. Create Demand according to strategy (I used VSFB in MD61).   5. Run MRP & complete procurement as many times u want.   6. In this process anytime u can check in MD21 u2013 there is NO PFE.
         Can someone tell me what the reason / logic are behind? Is there any OSS note for it?

    Dear ACCPP12,
    1) in which t-code your running MRP, i suspect your running in MD02
    2) MD02 & MD03 does not require Planning file entry
    3) MRP gives results with out planning file entry by the above mentioned t-codes
    4) where as if your going with MD01, then Planning file entry is required for materials

  • Long Term Planning-Planning File Entry

    Hi Gurus/Friends
    In the long term planning after PIR with inactive version and creating Scenario, assinging versions, Plants,....then
    during Release+Save it is giving the Result of Planning File Entries
    Logically the system has suppose to give the Number of Planning File Entries in Propotionate to the Specific Planning Scenario number and materials inside
    But it is giving for all the Materials inside the Plant
    Is there any settings to restrict the Planning File Entry creation w.r.t Planning scenario during Release+Save
    other than the solutions through Transaction MS20,MS22 and MSAB
    (Because during Release+save logically it has to call the MS22 t.code  and do planning file entries for the materials in that scenario)
    Awaiting for reply
    thanks
    K.Prabakaran

    Hi,
    Please Refer Below SAP help .
    *Releasing a planning scenario*
    You first have to release a planning scenario before you can plan it in the long-term planning run. When you release the planning scenario, the system creates planning file entries for all materials in all the plants allocated to the planning scenario. There is a separate planning file entry for this purpose. This guarantees that your operative planning is kept completely separate from your simulative planning. This long-term planning file contains all the materials that are also contained in the operative planning file. After the release, every change relevant to MRP triggers an entry in the planning file as in operative planning.

  • Question on Planning File entry

    Hi all,
    Whenever a material master is changed with relevant MRP data, there will be a planning file entry for NETCH, NETPL. And after the MRP run, it will be reset. So I would like to know whether the materials which are reset (there is not entry for NETCH, NETPL) will be considered for the next MRP run. When i see the list in MD21, i can see the materials without NETCH, NETPL.
    So I would like to know when you run the total MRP (MD01), the materials which are reset will be planned or not? Or should we manually create the planning file entry?
    Regards
    Brijesh

    Dear,
    While running MRP, system will consider material which have planning file entry.
    So I would like to know when you run the total MRP (MD01), the materials which are reset will be planned or not? Or should we manually create the planning file entry?
    system won't consider the material in MRP run.
    NO need to create planning file entry manually ( because that material does n't have any changes related to MRP, so if u create manually also, system won't plan)

  • Planning file entry

    Hi Guru's ,
    is there any need to set up planning file enteries in OMDO for every plant because system will atomatically update the planning file for every material that have valid MRP data. If i have valid MRP views maintained in this situation what will be the reasons that  system will not update plannig files.
    thanks
    Ramakant

    Hi Ramakant,
    Planning file entries will be created automaticaly with valid MRP type and with the every change in which is relevent to MRP.
    But SAP recommends to run the setup and consistency check at plant level befor you execute the MRP this is because sometimes system wll not create planning file entry for a particuler part because od many reasons hence the this material will not be planned..in the same way after MRP run some planning file entries will not be deleted autmatically for some parts...resulting the MRP re-planned these parts in next run eventhough there was no change happned and no MRP was requires.
    So conclusion is it is better to setup the planing file entries creation and consistency check program before every MRP run at plant level.
    I hope this will help you.
    Rewards your points to all useful answers.

  • Planning File Entry Job MDAB

    Hi ,
    We are in process of implementing MRP for a plant.
    Query
    Do we need to schedule MDAB for the planning file entry before MRP job( NETCH) or run MDAB just once.
    If we do not schedule this job and run just once what are the problems we will face.
    Thanks,
    Anup

    Hello,
    MDAB is a batch program to set up planning file entries. So after you run this program, system will make planning file entries for all those materials which might have missed the entry.
    This normally does not happen, but as a good practise it is better to run MDAB & MDRE, to ensure that the planning file entries are consistent.
    Effects as such: As you might know already, if a planning file entry does not exist for a material it will not be considered in MRP run.
    When to Run the Job:
    There is no need to run this transaction regularly, unless otherwise you find a lot of inconsistency and some material which are supposed to get planned in MRP run are not getting planned.
    SAP automatically creates a planning file entry for the material whenever an MRP related change is happening for the material. Some times due to inconsistencies in the system, this entry is not made, so that materials would not get planned in MRP run, only when you face problem like this you need to run MDAB
    Hope the above clarifies.
