How to change a Manual Input variable into a customer exit variable?

Hello,
I need to change the "processing by" option of an used BEx variable from "Manual Input" to "Customer Exit" but this field is not available (= in grey) in modification.
Does it exist a tip or a standard program to modify this no-accessible field of an existing BEx variable?
Thanks in advance for your answers,
Samuel

Hi,
I don't think it's possible (unless tweaking some parameters directly in some tables, as stated in the previous post) so you would have to create a new one and replace it.
Hope it helps,

How to insert a code for a function module into a Customer Exit Variable?

I have two Key Figures viz., Net Prchs Rtl, and Net Prchs Unt. Both these Key figures have This Week (TW) and Last Week (LW). There is a variable for This week but there is no variable defined for Last week.
I need to get data in the column LW (Last Week) for both the key figures.
In function module EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001 one of the functions I have is:
Get the previous Fiscal Week
          CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT'
I need to create a new variable to get values in the Last week column for different key figures and use function 'DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT' in that variable.
Can anyone please explain me the steps as to how to use a function module in a variable so that when the variable is used in a key figure it shows the output.
In other words what I want to know is after creating a Customer exit variable of type Characteristic value how do I refer the above mentioned function moduel and insert the code for the function module into the Customer exit variable that I created.
Thank you.

Hi Wond,
Thanks a lot for your reply. I understand what you mean but I have never done this before so can you please explain it in a detailed manner. I have the following code:

          ELSE.
            lc_poper = ln_poper.
            CONCATENATE ln_bdatj lc_poper+1(2) INTO wa_e_t_range-low.
            wa_e_t_range-sign = 'I'.
            wa_e_t_range-opt = 'EQ'.

          ENDIF.
        ENDIF.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
I believe I should now use the above code in my customer exit variable. If that's right can you please explain me the steps as to how should I do this so that the variable gets populated.

Text Variable replace with Customer Exit Variable

Dear Experts,
I created a text variable based on replacementh path (instead of customer exit). The reference characteristic is same that as my customer exit Variable and replace it by Key.
I want to replace it with already Existing Customer Exit Variable but it is not displaying in the List Box even though existing variable option is mandatory.
Can any one Suggest me the answer for this.
Regards
Supraja.K

I do not think you can select Customer Exit variable, if you see the type is selected to Char Value Variables and it is not editable.
It would be suggested to go for Customer Exit procesing type for your text variable.

Customer exit Variable to split single date value into a range

Hi All,
we have a requirment where user will enter a date(01/21/2010) value in the variable input screen, it should be single value and mandatory, and the query output should have data for the Preceding 24 months for all 6 Key figures. (e.g. user chooses 12/15/2009, result set is 12/01/2007 - to - 11/30/2009) summarized by month,
Our query design is as given below -
since we only have DATE value in the cube, we have added FISCAL YEAR/PERIOD in the cube and mapped DATE with time chars. Now the cube has the data stored in monthly buckets using FISCAL YEAR/PERIOD . Now we have used the variables FISCAL YEAR/PERIOD to restrict Key figures and have an offset on that to get the prior 24 periods.
Since in our requirement user wants to enter Date variable asmandatory input, we create 1 customer exit variables as a mandatory & single value variable for Date Variable, and using that exit variable we thought of passing the period of user entered date to FISCAL YEAR/PERIOD which we are using to restrict Key figures and get offset of 24 months.
Can someone please help us in passing this period vaule from inout Variable Date to Fiscal year/period using CMOD, any other ideas are also welcome
Thanks in advance

Hi sateesh,
we are using DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT ,but in this case if user enter's a date (01/21/2010) then we are getting output only for that date and not for the entire prior 24 months period
As per our requirment when user enter's date (01/21/2010) it should get the whole range that is entered date and 24 prior months and pass the range back to same input Variable so that in the output we get the data for entire prior 24 months
Thanks

Problem with Bex Customer Exit Variable

Hi Friends,
I have a customer exit variable which is getting filled based on the User Input. I have written the code inside the If condition checking i_step = 2. The code is working as required.
But the problem is when I try refreshing the query or change the user variable selection, the Customer exit variable is not changing. I tried to debug the code and realized that the values for the exit variable based on the previous selection is not cleared and the i_step = 2 is not being executed for the variable.
While I close and reopen the query, the code is working fine.
Does anyone know why this is happening? Please suggest..
Thanks in advance..

Behavior of customer exit variables (used as prompt) in a workbook

Hi All,
We are on NW2004s. I am using a customer exit variable in the prompt for my query then saved the query as a workbook.
1. When I run the query the customer exit routine/program is called and the selection screen variable is populated with the correct value.
Ex. Calendar year variable is a prompt variable defined as customer exit variable that gets the current year.
when you run the query the prompt for calendar year shows "2007" as default value. this is correct.
2. when I run the workbook using this same query, it looks like it is not executing the customer exit program. The value in the calendar year prompt is whatever the last value used when the workbook was last ran.
I also placed a breakpoint in the customer exit program (EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001) to check if it is being called and it looks like it isn't.
Is there a configuration/property that I should enable/check to make sure that customer exit variables used as prompts works in workbooks? Is this a bug? Anybody else have issues with using customer exit variables as prompts in their workbooks?
Thanks in advance,
Malou

I have manually inputted data into a blank spreadsheet and would like to use a form to enter data into that sheet !!! How do I do that please

Leigh,
After creating your table, Tap the Tab marked "+" and select "Form" - you will be asked which table to use. (You should get into the habit of naming your tables - if the table name isn't visible, select the table and tap the Styles (Brush) Menu > Table > Turn ON table Name, then double tap on the Table to edit it.)
Select the table you wish to to fill with a form and you will see a new form based on the header data.
The form will allow you to add one row at a time and when you get to the last row, there is an option at the bottom of the form to add a new row using the "+" button. At the top of the form is the row header which you can rename by double tapping.
You can also rename the form on the Tab by double tapping on the name.
Try it out.

How to read a whole text file into a pl/sql variable?

How to change a customer exit variable in columns

Hallo Experts,
i have a query with two columns. In the first column is a customer exit variable, who get filled with the actual calyear. In the second column is the same variable with an offset -1.
When i execute the query, in the first column i can see the year 2007 and in the second column i can see 2006. That´s ok.
Now i want to change the year (dynamically) in a filter 2007 in 2005. The result should be in the first column 2005 and in the second column 2004.
What can i do?

Hi Jens,
As I understand the scenario, you have two RKF or selections in column 1 and 2, one is restricted with variable ZYear, the other with the same variable, offset - 1 and variable ZYear provides current year.
I think there is no way to change years dynamically in a filter, but you could solve the issue by refreshing the query and overwrite default value provided by customer exit.
To achieve this, please change variable and check 'Ready for input' in change dialog..
If this shouldn't work, please let me know details a variable definition and customer exit.
Have a nice w/e
Joe

How to create an user input variable for customer exit variable? - BW3.5

Hi Guru,
I have a requirement for the selection period of my reports. There are 3 possible reporting periods which should be user selectable:
1. Month: Current reporting month
2. Fiscal Year to Date
3. Project Year to Date
Here I need 2 variable to do these, 1 customer exit and 1 user input variable. I have created a variable customer exit to calculate all these requirement. But can any1 tell on how to create the user input variable for my customer exit? I need a user input variable with drop down list like below.
01-Current month
02- Fiscal Year to Date
03-Project Year to Date
I have create a new master data for this variable, but it's not working. What I need now is a standalone master data which do not need to link to any exiting records. Can any1 tell me how to create this?

Just go to the definition of the variable for which you have created a customer exit. There you will find a check box for "Ready for Input". Just tick that checkbox and the variable will be available as a selection variable in the reports selection screen.

Change customer exit variable in selections over Dropdownbox

Hello Experts,
we are on NW2004s, SP12.
I have a customer exit variable (0CALYEAR) in two columns. In the first column the customer exit variable and in the second column the customer exit variable with an offset -1.
Now I want to change the year in a dropdownbox. Under <=BW3.5 that was not possible, only over a how to paper.
I can fill the dropdownbox in the web template but when I change the year, it jumps back to the year selected by the customer exit. How can I change the variable in the new web application designer (2004s) during the navigation? Has any one experience with such a problem?

Problem with customer exit variable that is input ready as well

Hello all,
I'm facing an issue with a customer exit variable that again has been defined as input ready. I'm not sure why it is working incorrectly and I#m wondering if this is a bug or if I do s.th. stupid.
The problem is that in the exit program ZXRSRU01 this varibale does not go into the program code I have prepared for this variable. I have added entry points for all three i_step values 1,2,3, but the code will never be touched and in debugging I can see that it simply pypasses the code for this variable.
I have tried to enter a value or to leave it blank, no difference.
When I run another test by just using a customer exit variable w/o input ready capability, then I have no issue, the exit does exactly what I have coded.
Does this mean, that a customer exit variable along with input readiness dows not work ?????
You may ask why I need this variable. Well, my intention is to use the input value of this variable A to derive other values for a complete different variable B. Afterwards I want to erase the input given into variable A to have it blank.
Any comments are appreciated
Thanks

Hi Heiko,
I assume A & B variables are defined on different Characteristics. If you wish to derive B based on A, you can create the Query Characteristic Restriction on B & have a dummy RKF restricted on A whose processing is by Manual Input; where processing of B is by Customer Exit. In istep 2 you can check for B, read A & derive B. There would not be a need to blank out A since the Query would not be restricted on A - you can hide the dummy RKF from showing in the output. Just a thought.
