How to use string functions (substr or ltrim or replace) in OLAP universe.

cost element (0COSTELMNT) - 10 CHAR
Controlling area (0CO_AREA) - 4 CHAR
[0COSTELMNT].[LEVEL01].[[20COSTELMNT]].[Value]
cOST ELEMENT is compounded/prefixed with Controlling Area. I just want to see cost element without conrolling area in the BO report.
Currenlty BO unierse is build based on bex query. I am able to suppress the compounding object in bex query by chaning controlling area to 'No display'. But still BO Webi report displaying compounded values in the report. (Bex report works as expected)
eg: Current display in reort.
controlling area/cost element.
AB00/2222
AB00/2223
AB00/2224
Wanted like below:
2222
2223
2224
I think by using string fucntions (substring, ltrim or replace etc.), I can get the required result. But I am having issues with syntax. I have used like below.
substr(0COSTELMNT ; 5 ; 10)
substr(0COSTELMNT; 5 ; Length(0COSTELMNT)-5)
substr(0COSTELMNT; Pos(0COSTELMNT;"/")+1;10)
ltrim(0COSTELMNT,'AB00/')
What is the syntax for substring/replace functions in OLAP universe. Technical name of cost element in OLAP universe is [0COSTELMNT].[LEVEL01].[[20COSTELMNT]].[Value].
I want to fix this at universe level not at report level as i am using cost element in filter/variable section of the report. Please provide me syntax for above example.

Hi,
In fact SAP BW MDX supports limited string manipulation and only with NAME and UNIQUENAME attributes.
Here are some samples that you can use in universes:
MID([0COSTELMNT].currentmember.NAME,1,4)
LEFT([0COSTELMNT].currentmember.NAME,2)
RIGHT([0COSTELMNT].currentmember.NAME,3)
MID([0COSTELMNT].currentmember.UNIQUENAME ,1,4)
LEFT([0COSTELMNT].currentmember.UNIQUENAME ,2)
RIGHT([0COSTELMNT].currentmember.UNIQUENAME ,3)

How to use String Function Find() in a String Value Test?

Hi,
i intend to match a substring of the string returned from my UUT when using a String Value Test - VI call.
I write the returned string to a Local Variable type String (Locals.data_read) and in the Limits Tab - under Expected String Value am using Find(Locals.data_read, "Connected"). When i Check the expression for Errors - i get a warning "Expected String, found Number {64-bit Floating Point}. this value will cause a run-time error."
What am i missing?
Thanks
Kech
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The Find function evaluates to a number:
Number Find(String string, String stringToSearchFor, Number indexToSearchFrom = 0, Boolean ignoreCase = False, Boolean searchInReverse = False)
Returns: The zero-based character index, starting at the beginning of the string, of the first character in the substring. The function returns -1 if it does not find the substring.
It looks to me like you need to do a numeric step type. Not a string value test.
Or you can do something like this:
Find(Locals.data_read, "Connected") < 0 ? "Doesn't Matter What Is Here" : Locals.data_read
Hope this helps,

How to use Min function to get FileName into a Variable

I was wondering how to use MIN function in Evaluate variable in package to get the first file name from the list(Datastore)
With reference to Merging Flat Files into a single file Post number-4
Thanx

Hi Diwakar,
That List data store should be table, than only it will gives the min of the filename string,
If it is a file datastore, Min function does not works properly it will returns a first name in the file data store.
so please, use an interface to upload the List filedatastore into some other temp table. From that table you can use variable to get Min value of file name.
Thanks

How to use string variable onside quotes

Hi,
i would like to know how to use string variable onside quotes. what i mean is if i have a LOV variable P_STATUS as character string.
and in my PL/SQL function i give a query as
Q AS VARCHAR2(1000) := 'SELECT * FROM EMP
WHERE STATUS = :P_STATUS';
Is this correct. I Know that the above statement works when the LOV is an integer, but when i use a character LOV return value the above statement does not work. how can i get in the character LOV value.
Can someone help me please.
Thanks,

Yes I tried binding all the values separately. It is working, but, I am trying to pass all values by variableBut you can't. The variable is holding a single string value.... that is just 1 value. Your binding are expecting multiple values. You can't bind 1 string value and expect Oracle to magically know how to break your string up into seperate values for the bind variables. What if one of your bind variables actually needed e.g. a comma seperated string as it's value? How would Oracle know that?
You must bind each thing seperately. That's the way cursors work.
, because i have more than 150 tables in which data will be load. that's why i m trying to create a unique procedure to load data one by one table. Otherwise I have to write individual procedures for per procedures.It's a hard life being a software programmer, but somebody's got to do it. Unfortunately there are too many people who try and write "generic" procedures and expect them to just work. I mean why don't Oracle just implement some SQL command so you can do...
execute immediate 'load all my tables';save us all the hassle eh!? ;)
when i write all the columns like
execute immediate (insert_string) using rc1.TOLL_ID, rc1.LANE_ID, rc1.RECEIVED_DATETIME, rc1.LANE_QUERY, c1.EXECUTED_DATETIME
but it is not possible to generate runtime variable thats why I m trying to assign all values to a single variable and use it like
execute immediate (insert_string) using (v_string)
how can I separate the values and ho to use it .Don't use execute immediate. Use the DBMS_SQL package instead and bind your values dynamically with loops to cover all the columns you need etc.

How to use standard function keys as custom keys

how to use standard function keys as custom keys.
i have encountered that problem while developing a screen, there i'm supposed to use standard function key F2 ( which actually meant for choose) for clearing the screen fields where the cursor is present and f1 for saving data that entered in screen fields, etc...
kindly help me out.

Hi ,
Solution to use SAP reserve function keys F1 .. F4 (mostly this requirement comes up for RF screens) can be acheived by assigning your new Function code using the Menu path Utilities --> F key Consistency in the Menu Painter (SE41) . Once you assign your cutom function code to the standard Fn keys the only remaining step is to make sure that you set a curson on any of the field on sceen by using the Key Word "SET CURSOR" .
If you dont use the key word SET CURSOR in the PBO of the screen then you might not see any response for F4.
Thanks

ATP information
Functionality
Using this function module, you can determine the receipt quantity still available for a particular material in a certain plant according to ATP logic (MRPII).
The availability check is carried out on transferring the material number, the plant and the input table (WMDVSX). The scope of the check, that is, which stocks, receipts and issues are to be included in the check is defined by the combination of checking group (material master) and cheking rule. In the function module, the system uses the checking rule defined in Sales & Distribution (A). You can overrule this checking rule by using an interface or a user-exit (exit_saplw61v_001). A similar procedure is also valid for the plant parameters. The customer number in the user-exit means that the plant selection can be controlled via the customer. If no plant parameters are given via the interface, the system uses the parameter 'WRK' saved in the user's fixed values.
The results of the availability check are recorded in the output table (WMDVEX). This table contains dates and available receipt quantities (ATP quantities). The results of the check depends on the following entries:
If no date and no quantity is transferred, the system displays the ATP situation from today's date into the future as the result.
If only a date and no quantity is transferred, the system displays the ATP situation from the corresponding date as the result.
If both a date and a quantity are transferred, the system calculates the availability situation for the quantity specified.
In the last two cases, the parameter 'DIALOGFLAG' is supplied. This can result in the following:
' ' (blank)   <=> quantity completely available
'X'           <=> only partial quantity available or not available at
                  all
'N'           <=> Material not included in the availability check
                  (Material not relevant to the availability check)
The system also displays the end of the replenishment lead time (ENDLEADTME).
