How to filter records if string field is empty

I have a report wants show the list who doesn't Email address. It shows parts of the records. So, I try to use Formular and group to solve the problem: I did create a formula name is Email= Emailfield<>"" . Then I set the group using Formular Email. It shows three group 1. blank, 2. False, 3. True.
I can't get the list of false and blank whenever using the group selection.
Is this a bug or I missing something?
Thanks

I tried the following, and it works:
1. Check the box next to File > Report Options > Convert DB Null Values to Default
2. Delete any existing record selection formula and use the following one:
length({Employee.EmailAdd1}) = 0
3. Refresh.
Let me know the results.
Cheers,
Fritz

How to filter records in EIS drill through using template SQL

Hi,
I'm looking for an option to filter records in EIS drill through using Template SQL.
For eg: If we user runs drill through on 2011, it should restrict display of Jan & Feb and should display records for other months.
I tried using NOT IN clause, but got an error.
Can any one help me in understanding how this needs to be defined in template SQL
Thanks in advance

Hi Glenn,
I'm able to filter the records for specific periods.
However, I'm facing another problem now.
When I try to run drill through I get 'OLAP_error (1192025): Unknown Error: Not a valid Entry' error.
This is happening when I include condition as ((($$ab.ACCOUNT_CODE-COLUMN $$) IN ($$Account-VALUE$$)))
Here, ACCOUNT_CODE is field from Account dimension table and 'Account' is the name of the dimension.
If I remove this statement and run drill through, it runs but shows data for all accounts (irrespective of the Account selected)resulting in incorrect data.
Our RDBMS is Oracle. Can you please help me with this
Thanks

Filter anomaly with string fields

Is anyone else have an issue with string fields and filtering? What I notice is if I choose a custom string field in the metadata filter bar I'll see the usual list in the column like:
All (2 values)
     50
String 1
       2
No Value
     48
If I choose All or an actual entry (like String 1) the correct images are filtered. However if I choose No Value I don't see 48 images but only the images I would see if I had chosen String 1. The built in string fields (such as Label) don't behave in this fashion.
Is this a bug or something I can program around?

Thanks Eric. Just use the custom metadata sample plugin from the SDK. It exhibits the same behavior. Everything works fine so long as EVERY image has an entry in the string field. If any are empty the filter shows a No Value line. This doesn't happen for the builtin string fields. They do not show that line in the filter bar.
Choosing the No Value line does not show you the images that actually have no value in the field but some other group of images, some with values and some without.

How to Ignore records having duplicate field value

Hi,
I have a fixed length flat file having multiple records.
Ex:
1000423421A8090
1000802421A8091
1000454421B8092
1000412421C8093
The first 2 record has A. So I have to take only one out of first two record and ignore the second one. I mean if there is any duplicate field at 11th position then I have to select only one record.
Can you please let me know how to handle this.
Thanks
Mukesh

Mukesh,
Use the following UDF to achieve the same.
getchar
char ret = Values.charAt(10);
return ""ret"";
Maptarget
//write your code here
int len = Values.length;
String char_at="";
String pos="";
for(int j=0;j<len;j++)
if(j==0){
result.addValue(Values[j]);
else
char_at= ""+ Values[j-1].charAt(10);
pos=""+Values[j].charAt(10);
if(!char_at.equals(pos))
result.addValue(Values[j]);
Mapping Logic
1. Use sort by key function
in the first parameter map - Source -UDF(getchar)
in the second parameter map -Source
2.Map the output of sortbykey to UDF(Maptarget)
3.Finally Map the o/p of UDF to target.
I checked it, its working as per your reqmt.
If you have any doubts reply me I'll help you out.
Note: In UDF(MapTarget) use Queue
Best Regards,
Raj.

SAP Query: How to filter records from SAP Query output before display

Hi Friends,
Can I delete records from an SAP query basic list before it is displayed?
For example I want to delte all the orders whose system status is "RELEASED" before the basic list of that SAP query is displayed.
I have gone through SAP help and found out that we can write some code in END code section which will execute before the basic list of the query is displayed. But I could not figure out how the code this...following is an excerpt form SAP help.
"The END-OF-SELECTION code consists of two parts (Before list output and After list output). The first part is processed before the list is output and the second part afterwards."
Can anybody help me?
Regards,
Bharat.

Try this simple procedure. Hope this should work for you.
You do the slection of the status in the List-Processing. say your final field of status flag is GF_STATUS.
Immediatly after that use this within the List-Processing.
CHECK GF_STATUS EQ '<RELEASED STATUS>'
How it works:
SELECT <> "<-------Query processing(system code).
*< Your code put in the List processing
CHECK GF_STATUS EQ '<RELEASED STATUS>' "< --only released records passed.
*>
ENDSELECT "<-----Query endselect(system code).
Please let me know the result.

How to select records with certain fields unique while others not

Hi,
For example, I have table with 6 columns, called 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F'. There's no unique constraint built-in, and I would like to select records that have both column 'A' and 'B' unique. What should the sql statement look like?
Columns 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F' can have same data in different records or null, not a concern.
Thanks.

select A, B, max(C), max(D), max(E), max(F) from <your_tab>
group by A, B
select * from (select t.*, row_number() over (partition by A,B order by null) rn from <your_tab> t)
where rn=1they are not the same, but seem to meet your needs both.

Filter option in Matching Fields

Hi,
When right click on Matching fields, there is Filter in import Manager. Can anyone let me know, how that Filter related to Matching Fields records please?
Thanks.
Regards,
Lahari

Hi Lahari,
Filtering narrows down both the source and destination record sets, but with slightly different effects, as follows:
Source Side i.e. In Match records tab narrows down the set of source records so that those that do not meet the filtering criteria can be excluded from the import.
Destination i.e. In matching fields tab narrows down the set of destination records, excluding those that do not meet the filtering criteria from record matching.
The filter is inclusive, and expands the set of records on which you can perform import operations to those that do meet the filtering criteria.
For more information please refer to the below link

Sort String Field Mandatory in Production Order Components Screen

Hi Gurus,
Am currently working on ECC 6.0 environment.
When I try to assign a batch to the components of the production order, the 'Sort String' is a mandatory field.
Can you please suggest from where is this mandatory field is picked? Is it possible to populate the field automatically? Or how to make the 'Sort String' field not mandatory?
In order type parameters (OPL8), standard parameters for display profiles are maintained.
Have also tried to maintain user parameters like F1F, S3F and S5F without success.
Your guidance please.
Thanks in advance.
The above mentioned problem does not occur if I try to create production order without reference of planned order using T Code CO01. This problem occurs only when I am converting planned order to production order.
Note that have tried maintaining sort string in the BoM. The sort string gets picked up when am creating manual production orders. Not copied when converting planned orders to production orders.

Hi Tarang,
I think there is a transaction/screen variant maintained for that. Ask your ABAP team member to debug and check if there is any coding done to make it mandatory. There is no customizing for this one. There must be some code written to make it mandatory.
But you are correct, if you maintain the sort string in BOM, it gets copied on to the planned order, the reservation and the production order as well.

How to filter Groupwise records using custom fields?

I am consuming the Groupwise web service and want to search
the appointments based on value provided for a custom field. All
the other searches (date, subject, message) are working fine. The
only thing that does not work is search on the custom field. If I
search on the Custom field the service returns all records.
Following is the excerpt of the code. CFGWID is the field
that is sent to groupwise with an application generated value. I am
able to query the field but cannot filter appointments using the
CFGWID field.
<filter>
<elements type="FilterGroup">
<element type="FilterEntry">
<op xsi:type="xsd:string">eq</op>
<custom xsi:type="xsd:custom">cfgwid</custom>
<value
xsi:type="xsd:string">#arguments.AppMsgID#</value>
</element>
</elements>
</filter>
At this time there is only one entry in this filter. Any
ideas?

First of all, "Groupwise web service"!? Please tell me more
about this.
I use Groupwise here and this sounds like an interesting
feature!

How are you searching the custom field? Are you accounting
for the name
space xsi: and xsd: values? There is a bit of quirkiness with
CFML xml
functionality when working with name spaces. I've always been
able to
work out these issues with a bit of Google searching.

In BI how to filter the selection options based on inputs on top field

Hi Friends,
In BI, How to filter the selection options based on inputs on top field.
The system should automatically filter the lower level drop downs based on the selection of a higher level.
For e.g. :
If a user selects a Country then the States drop down should only display the State's belongs to the Country. Similarly when a State is selected, the District drop down should display only those District's belongs to the State.
Thanks in Advance.

How can I get the number of distinct records that each field of a DB table has?

Hi everyone,
I would like to know how to get he number of distinct records that each field of a DB table has. When tracing a SQL statement either in ST12 or ST05, in the plan execution, if the sentence made useage of an index, then I can click in the index name and see this kind of information (no. of distinct values for each field of that index).
Can I do something like this but with the whole fields of a table?
What I have found until now is in Tx ST10; I search for whatever kind of table statistics and then use the function of "Analyze table" (which takes me to Tx DB05). In here, I can enter a table and up to 5 fields in order to get the information that I want.
Is there any other way to do this?
Regards,
David Reza

Hi David,
You can export the same to excel and sort as per requirement.
Sorry is that what you are looking for ?

How to record value of field to perform action when saving with new value

Hi,
I have a multi-tabbed form (Forms 6i). I need to include code so that when a field is changed on one tab and is saved, then I need to update some fields on the other tabs.
My first question is: How can I record a copy of the field whenever data is brought into the form (ie: through a query), and then what is the best way to update the other data:
1) Update the database and then requery somehow
2) Update the fields on the other tabs and then commit to the database?
And roughly I how I do it?
Any help appreciated

> if the user is inserting a new record and I try and use the DATABASE_VALUE property on that field.... what is going to happen?
Read the on-line help for Database_value. Use :System.record_status to determine if the record is being inserted, then don't get database_value. It is not clear, but I believe on such records, it returns the current value of the item, not a null value. Regardless, it is useless.
If you want to update fields in other blocks in your form automatically based on changes in a different block, you can start a non-repeating timer in a when-validate-item trigger on the field. When the timer expires, you can navigate to the other blocks and to various records, and update the fields in the other blocks. Then when the user commits, all changes will be applied together. The only trick to using a timer like that is that in the commit process, you also need to check to see if the timer exists, and if it does, delete the timer and do the updates to the other tables.

A record selection problem with a string field when UNICODE database

We used report files made by Crystal Reports 9 which access string fields
(char / varchar2 type) of NON-UNICODE database tables.
Now, our new product needs to deal with UNICODE database, therefore,
we created another database schema changing table definition as below.
(The table name and column name are not changed.)
    char type -> nchar type
    varchar2 type -> nvarchar2 type
When we tried to access the above table, and output a report,
the SQL statement created from the report seemed to be wrong.
We confirmed the SQL statement using Oracle trace function.
    SELECT (abbr.) WHERE "XXXVIEW"."YYY"='123'.
We think the above '123' should be N'123' because UNICODE string
is stored in nchar / nvarchar2 type field.
Question:
How can we obtain the correct SQL statement in this case?
Is there any option setting?
FYI:
The environment are as follows.
    Oracle version: 11.2.0
    ODBC version: 11.2.0.1
    National character set: AL16UTF16

With further investigating, we found patterns that worked well.
Worked well patters:
    Oracle version: 11.2.0
    ODBC version: 11.2.0.1
    National character set: AL16UTF16
    Report file made by Crystal Reports 2011
    Crystal Reports XI
Not worked patters:
    Oracle version: 11.2.0 (same above)
    ODBC version: 11.2.0.1 (same above)
    National character set: AL16UTF16 (same above)
    Report file made by Crystal Reports 2011 (same above)
    Crystal Reports 2008 / 2011
We think this phenomenon is degraded behavior of Crystal Reports 2008 / 2011.
But we have to use the not worked patters.
Anything wrong with us? Pls help.
