Interaction in the variable selection screen possible?

I have a query with related 3 variables: a Product Division is related to a Hierarchy-name and to a Hierarchy-node. I want the enduser only to fill in 2 variables in the selection screen: Product Division and Hierarchy-node. Is this possible?
If a enduser is entering a Product Division in the variable selection screen, the Hierarchy-name can be derived in CMOD with step2. But now we want an additional second variable selection screen for filling in the Hierarchy-node, which is related to the derived Hierarchy-name in CMOD.
Can somebody help:
Is there a second variable selection screen possible, or is there some interaction within one selection screen possible?

Well, In the exit itself you can try ppopulating the hierarchy node for the second variable too. Think well, it is pretty much possible doing it along with the same code.

  • How to run the variable exit without calling the variable selection screen?

    Hi all
    I have a query with 2 variables 0P_PRQUA (Previous Calendar Quarter (SAP Exit)) and ZCCDAT02.
    ZCCDAT02 is a Key Date variable that is derived based on the last day of the quarter that is entered in 0P_PRQUA. The exit code works correctly when calling up the variable screen and ZCCDAT02 is derived properly.
    The problem is that 0P_PRQUA is set to "Can be changed in query navigation". So if the user changes the value of the quarter the exit is not triggered and the value of ZCCDAT02 does not change.
    Is it possible to trigger the exit or is there another way to do it? Ideas would be appreciated. I am trying to create a Web Template with a Dropbox box for the Quarter.
    Query is written in BW 3.X.
    Regards
    Chami

    Hi guys
    Just to restate the requirement. I want the user to be able to change the value of the variable, WITHOUT calling the variable selection screen.
    I want the user to be able to change the value of the quarter by using a dropdown box from within the web template. Once that is selected I want the value of ZCCDAT02 to be derived from the new value of the quarter.

  • Adding a message to the variable selection screen

    Hi there
    I have been asked to find a way to add a message to the variable selection screen.
    It appears that DIVISION needs to be added to the selection screen, as this makes the query run faster. However, they don't actually want the user to enter a division, as this causes other problems.
    So, ideally, I would be able to add a message to the variable selection screen that advises users against entering a value for division.
    I don't know how to do this.
    I create the web template, and I can therefore add messages or anything you like to the template, but I don't believe I have any control over the variable selection screen.
    Does anyone know if this is possible?
    We are running a 2004s system if that helps.
    Cheers,
    Andrew

    Hello,
    Well i think if you make the variable used for division not ready for input it would not be available for the users to input anything.
    you can find the checkbox for this in the properties of the variable in query designer.
    Hope this matches your requirement.

  • How to add customize message on the variable selection screen in the query

    Hi all,
    Can we add an customise message on the variable selection screen in the query? If yes please let me know how it can be achevied?
    Thanks,
    Rani

    Hi Rani,
    I faced a similar issue (for what I understand your request is).
    My requirement for the Variable Screen was to do:
       1) place a link to a ppt file
       2) remove buttons "Save", "Save As...), "Delete"... the standard buttons come when running the Query or WebTempl
    We were using a Web Templ for BI7.0
    I struggled trying to find out how to do it. My conclusions are:
    - WAD, not sure we can accomplish it using a Web Template but i did not "play" a lot with the Web_Template Properties in order to know
    - XHTML, I was told in my post HTML modification was the way, but I have close to nil background in HTML and couold not find the way of accessing the Variable Entry screen
    For instance, I had to remove similar buttons and change some font size from a link on the Web Template (WAD), which was pretty straight forward. In WAD the buttons come with its own icon and to increase the Font size for that link we used XHTML (<font size="2" >). But the heck of the variable screen...well, i just did not get trhough to it to modify it in any way.
    Good luck,
    Definetly in a Query I would say that no.

  • Need to skip the variable selection screen when using dropdown

    Hello Friends,
    I have created a web template having a dropdown, a table and a text element. Basically I am trying to follow the guide "How to Use a Dropdown Box to Set Variable Values". It shows how to select values for a variable using dropdown.
    NOTE: The guide can be found here:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2642ab90-0201-0010-9193-d59de66cbab4
    What is happening is when I select a value for the variable in the dropdown, the correct url is getting formed but instead of displaying the report using the selected value, the variable selection screen appears. Given below is the url that gets formed:
    http://abcdev.wdf.sap-ag.de:8000/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=E&PAGENO=1&REQUEST_NO=3&CMD=PROCESS_VARIABLES&SUBCMD=VAR_SUBMIT&VAR_NAME_1=TSTPEROD&VAR_VALUE_EXT_1=04.2007
    Please assist me to get rid of the variable selection screen. Thanks!
    Regards,
    Prem.

    Hello Ray,
    Thanks for your reply. This has partially resovled the issue. I have awarded you points for that. Now I am able to skip the variable screen.
    However, the query results are not getting refreshed. I wanted to restirct the values based on the value given in the variable selection (In my case the dropdown box). Somehow I am not able to link the dropdown with the variable or the "SAPBWOpenURL(url);" function is having some issues.
    Please assist. Thanks!
    Regards,
    Prem.

  • Enabling Key and text for the Variable Selection screen

    I need to display key and text for a characteristic when selecting the drop down menu in the variable selection screen of a web report. In the Business Explorer tab within the info-object, I changed the General Settings to display Key and text, but when I open the drop down menu for this characteristic, it is still displaying the key only. Is there some other place where this change needs to happen?

  • How to use Keyfigures in the Bex variable selection screen.

    Hi,
    I have a scenario, where the user whats to see the keyfigures like volume, amount in the variable selection screen, so that he can dynamically, set the condition according to his requirement.
    For example , he wants to see all the PO's for a particular calmonth which have volume >  1 Million or on someother day, he may input the value as volume > 2Million or Volume < 0 , so it depends. Similarly he wants to dynamically select the Amount values.
    I have tried using condition with "greater than"and value as a formula variable and it works for one condition, but if I add another condition i.e, "less than"and value as a formula variable then it conflicts and the query is throughing below error.
    "ERROR BRAIN (418): Variable ZCS_VAR_CH_KG_LT (DC015DZ850NUYVFDMPJHRGHXW) does not exist or is incorrectly used 4 Volume"."".
    Do we have a option to use customer exit in such a scenario ??, any suggestions please.

  • Variable selection screen: display as Key

    We are using NW2004s for our BI system and for the front-end components (Bex Query Designer, Bex Query Analyzer, ...)
    When opening a certain query with the Analyzer, the variable selection screen is shown. But now we can only input values directly in the fields if we change the display setting from Text to Key. (input values directly = without using the input help)
    Is there no way to put the display on Key by default for the variable selection screen?
    Hopeful greetings,
    Ben De Windt

    Hello Ben,
    unfortunately this is not possible at the moment. The feature will be available with SPS 13, which is planned to be available in calendar week 32. Please have a look at the Functional Enhancements Schedule BI in NW 7.0 (formerly known as 2004s) on page 20:

    saw this thread on SDN: SAP Business Explorer (SAP BEx)
    Question:
    Hi,
    Most of our BW reports use one Web Template. When the variable screen pops up, the header shows "Variables for Ad Hoc Report" instead of the name of the report that were are executing from the role folder.
    Does anybody know how can I get the title of the report to show instead of "Variables for Ad Hoc Report"?
    Thanks for your help!

    Answer from SAP Employee Heike Guder:
    Hi Helena,
    sorry, but this is only possible with modification in class cl_rsr_www_variable_screen method FILL_OPEN_FORM(no customizing for this)

    If you are really into it you might want to start diggin in that class and if do - please let us know the result of it.

    Andrew,
    You cannot customize the variable entry screen - atleast not in BI3.x since SAP advices storngly against it. I guess the same applies to BI7 also.
    What you could do it
    1. Have an exit that fills in the values and is not shown by default
    2. Have the variable on division but make it optional and remove the ready for input option for the same
    3. Have a HTML variable selection window and then pass the values to your report - but then you will not get the F4 help for the same here.

  • Adding messages to the Variable entry screen in web report

    I need to add a message or note to the variable selection screen on a web report. I need this message or note to be displayed somewhere on the same screen with the variable list. I found something similar in BW Expert regarding pop-up messages, but this does not work with web templates. Does anyone know of a way to add a static (or dynamic) message to this initial screen of a web report?

    In my clients place, they are ready to do the SAP Mod based on "CL_RSR_WWW_VARIABLE_SCREEN" to have a Alert Message which sort of based on different idea.
    Does anyboay have an idea on where to make the change?
    Thanx
