Hi Ami Bardogo,
      Try this sample code:
Parameters:
  p_string(10) type c.
Data:
  w_strlen type i.
At selection-screen.
w_strlen = strlen( p_string ).
if w_strlen gt 4.
   message 'Please enter string with length less than 4'.
endif.
Or else, Just make the input field as
Parameters:
  p_string(4) type c.
Then no need to validate.

  • Maximum order value

    Hi Guru's,
    I am working on a my Project which has milestone based billing, i have to create an sales order of value 2400 Crores against a single line item, but maximum value that can be entered in a sales value is 999.999.999 Crores only because of the lenght of the filed KBETR is 11.One way of doing this is tht i can can enter 25 line item of 999.999.999 Crores.But by doing so i am facing problem at the time of billing.
    Is there any way by which i will be able to create single line item with 2400 Crores value.
    Also can u suggest the config for milestone based billing for Enginnering & Construction industries .Plz suggest

    Hi Abhijit,
    The field amount ( KBETR) has a max length of 11
    In the Item Conditions screen try using the field Condition Value ( KWERT) which has a max length of 13 ,
    Here the limitation would be that the quantity to be used would be one,
    Hope this helps,
    Thanks

  • Filed lenght Extend

    Hi,
    I would like to Extend the files Sales org/Division/distribution upto 40 Char.
    As per Standard SAP it has provided 20 char......
    and Moreover  and client wants 20 char in Customer master(All filed)
    Regards
    Raj

    Dear Raj
    No not possible to change the standard fields length.  If it is a zee field, then it is possible.  Moreover as you are aware fields in SD will integrate with all other modules in many places and if you change in one place, it will not be copied in all other modules and this will definitely affect the performance and throw errors which you cannot find out the root cause.
    Even if you try to change forcibly with the help of ABAPer, I doubt whether SAP will support in case you have any issues arising out of this. 
    thanks

  • Did you know that Google toolbar doesn't work properly in FF rc1? I have filed a bug report to Google about this

    The Google toolbar doesn't recognize a left mouse click when selecting a 'suggestion'. It's OK using the keyboard, however. I have filed a bug report with Google, but as this is an important extension thought you should know.

  • Not able to retrieve and insert the value to Home_country filed in MDM

    Hi All,
    I am new to the JAVA API,
    I have creted one application in webdynpro using the JAVA API. I am able to search the data based on "Firstname" "Lastname" and "Email address".
    I need to basically two functionalities
    1) Search
    2) Insertion of new records
    *1) Search*__
    But searching based on the Country is not able to do it.
    we have two tables .
    1) Country table> Contains all the list of the country codes and County name.
    2) People table > Contains the country filed. So for this filed lookup table is country. also this country filed is drop down  not have opton edit in the MDM.
    I am sending the following used for searching the records based on the First Name and country.
    But based on the first name it is working fine but Country it is giving some code like "R100" "R12". It is not givng the actual name of the country.
    FieldSearchDimension sd1 = new FieldSearchDimension(fields[2].getId());
                   TextSearchConstraint sc1 = new TextSearchConstraint(First_Name,TextSearchConstraint.EQUALS);
                   sch.addSearchItem(sd1,sc1);          
    FieldSearchDimension sd4 = new FieldSearchDimension(fields[9].getId());
                   TextSearchConstraint sc4 = new TextSearchConstraint(Home_Country,TextSearchConstraint.EQUALS);
    //               TextSearchConstraint sc4 = new TextSearchConstraint("IN",TextSearchConstraint.EQUALS);
                   sch.addSearchItem(sd4,sc4);
    cmd = new RetrieveLimitedRecordsCommand(connections);
                   cmd.setResultDefinition(rdPeople);
                   cmd.setSearch(sch);
                   cmd.setSession(sessionId);
    try
                        cmd.execute();
                        catch(CommandException e)
                             e.printStackTrace();
                        recs = cmd.getRecords();
                        wdContext.nodeResult_Table().invalidate();
    //retreiving the Data from the resultset
    if(recs.getCount()!=0)
      for(int i=0;i<recs.getCount();i++)
           //First Name
         IResult_TableElement resEle=wdContext.nodeResult_Table().createResult_TableElement();
         if(!(recs.getRecord(i).getFieldValue(fields[0].getId()).isNull()))

          if(!(recs.getRecord(i).getFieldValue(fields[9].getId()).isNull()))
         resEle.setDisplay_Name(recs.getRecord(i).getFieldValue(fields[9].getId()).toString());
         wdContext.nodeResult_Table().addElement(i,resEle);
    By the above field is not giving the respective country name is avilable. it is giving some value"R100" rather giving of India.
    _ 2)  For creating the record in the  "people" table._
    I am able to insert the data all the information "firstname" "Last name", "email" except "Country" entered by the user by using the following code.
    //Insert
    First_Name=wdContext.currentPersonal_DetailsElement().getAttributeAsText("First_Name");
         Last_Name=wdContext.currentPersonal_DetailsElement().getAttributeAsText("Last_Name");

              createRecordCommand.execute();
          } catch (CommandException e2) {
    Let me know what are the changes need to be done for inserting the country information in people table.

    Hi Greg,
    Thanks for the reply,
    Actually,I  was doing the same thing what  you suggested. I am sending the piece of code . Can look it it .Is any thing wrong.
              //inserting the Country lookup filed to record object.
    *       if(Home_Country.length()!=0)*
    *     /when pass the int position number for the country by retreiving from the country table it is working fine. But we      cannot depend on position. Because People table internally refering the other db table while inserting the country      filed in the People table./     *
    *          r1.setFieldValue(fields[9].getId(),new LookupValue(new RecordId(12)));*
    *     //When i PAss the String to the following function i am getting the unsupportedFormat Exception          *
    *          r1.setFieldValue(fields[9].getId(),new LookupValue(new RecordId("Australia")));*
    InCountry . They have defined only two columns called.
    1) ISO-2 Code
    2) Country Name.
    Sample data
    ISO-2 Code  |   Country Name
    US                    United StatesOf America
    AU                    Australia
    Ar                     Argentina
    Like the above data we have 250 country names
    So , I displaying all the country list in my interface and holding in the Array.
    Ex: When the user chooses the Australia.  When I pass directly as an "Australia" to
    r1.setFieldValue(fields[9].getId(),new LookupValue(new RecordId("Australia"))).  it is giving me error.
    Then i try to pass the postion of the"Australia" in country table. Like if the Austrila is an 2 record. I am looping through my array and find the record position as "2".
    I am passing as
    r1.setFieldValue(fields[9].getId(),new LookupValue(new RecordId(2)));
    It is inserting into the people database. But not an Australia. It is inserting as "Argentina".
    When the record inserting in people table refering some table at the database level , that table called "A2i_16_TEXT" This contains three columns.
    A2i_16_TEXT(columns)
    1) Id
    2) LangId
    2) Field Id
    4) TextField
    Example Data
    Id  |  LangId  |  Textfield
    3       0            Australia
    2       0            Argentina
    4       0            United States Of America
    As i am showing the above table for "Argentina" Id is "2". When i pass the 2 for inserting the country filed.Instead of inserting "Australia". It is inserting the "Argentina" by refering this table.
    Through MDM API we are not able to access this " A2i_16_TEXT"  table. Because it is maintaining at the db level to find the perticular id for the respective country before inserting in to the people table.
    So kindly suggest me how to solve this problem. What i am doing in the code is correct or not.
    Regards
    Vijay

  • Can not change user filed in CR Viewer

    I am using Crystal Reports 2011 and i created a user field. i opened the report in CR viewer 2008 and the change filed is greyed out and the user can not change the field. I have tried saving the report with out a date saved in the report to see if viewer will prompt for a date but the report will not let me take it out now that it is set. i have checked options on the filed and it is set to editable. Is there something i am over looking? How can i get the user fields to work in crystal reports viewer?

    thanks for helping.
    viewer 2008 is the only thing i can find right now, i thought that might be the problem but i can not find a 2011 to download so i assumed they dont have it available yet.
    the report does work in CR2011 but we can not get CR for everyone, and they are not going to use it, they only need viewer if it will work.
    the parameter is a date field based off a database field.
    thanks.

  • Dynamic Sorting on Multiple filed in Crystal report 2008

    Hi
      I am using Crystal report 2008 sp3 full build with hotfix 3.3 along with ASP.NET 2.0
      I have implimented the multi filed sorting using the record sort export and setting the sort order in the report designer.
    Now my requirement is such that i would like to have dynamic sorting on multiple fileds while report is displayed in the UI.
    Means suppose i have a report with Customer region,name,city,rating,status etc.
    Now by using the sort control  i would like to have the functionality in such a way that if user
    a)  first sorts on the region then the records should be first sorted by region
    b)  then sorts on the city then the records should be sorted first by region then by city
    c) now sorts on the  rating then the records should be sorted first by region ,second by city and then by rating
    Now other user may do
    a) first sorts on the rating then the records should be first sorted by rating
    b)  then sorts on the status then the records should be sorted first by rating then by status
    c) now user sorts on the  region then the records should be sorted first by rating,second by status and then by region
    and so on the sorting criteria changes from user to user through the UI.
    Is there any way to achieve the dynamic kind of sorting with Crytsal report 2008 where we can set the order of the fileds at sorting in UI dynamically .The sorting order of the fields are not known at the time of design of the report and its completely depends on the user's need.
    Please let me know if you require any information on the same.
    Regards,
    smitha

    Hello,
       Good Day!
       Thanks for your answer.
       Could you please explain me in detail how to achieve this functionality?
       Do i need to create a static parameter?
       I  get my data set through the command option in crystal report.So i think i need to go by formula in the report.
       i am just putting down the steps to follow.Please correct me if i am wrong.
      step1 :Create s static parameter with the name SORT.
    step2: create the formula as you have mentioned like     
        (IF {?Sort}='Vendor Number' THEN {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.Vendor_Key}& " "& {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.ap_remt_key}
        & " " & {@date}
       else
        IF {?Sort}='Invoice Number' THEN {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.ap_vchr_invno}& " " & {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.Vendor_Key}&
        " " &{@date}
       else
       IF {?Sort}='Invoice Amount' THEN {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.ap_vchr_amtc}& " " & {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.Vendor_Key}&
         " " &{@date})
        I could not  understand what this formula is really doing .
        Could you please tell me what the following names indicates? :
                  Pr_Voucher_Status :- Table/Command name ??
                  Vendor Number,Invoice Number etc.. :-  ??
                 Vendor_Key,ap_vchr_invno,ap_vchr_amtc .. :-  Filed names ??
                 use of 1.{} :- ??                              
    step3: place the below formula in the page header  to display the sort order
        (if {?SORT}='Vendor Number' then "Vendor Number, Remit To, Invoice Date"
              else if {?SORT}='Invoice Number' then "Invoice Number, Vendor Number, Invoice Date"
              else if {?SORT}='Invoice Amount' then "Invoice Amount, Vendor Number, Invoice Date") .
    Note:-My report does not have grouping.Do i need to have grouping?
    in this case how the sort control will work  ?
    As i have mentioned in the first post the order of sorting is completely depends on the user's perspective .
    The report is used by the whole organization ..
    i mean the people with different roles like Manger,Team leads,modul leads,developers ,testers etc..
    the usage of report varies according to the roles so the sort order also.

  • XI 3.0 E-Filing GB R/3 RFC configuration to XI

    Hi
    Please could anyone advise me on the following. I am currently in the process of implementing E-Filing GB in XI 3.0 and I am stuck on what the RFC configuration should be in the R/3 Business System for the XI 3.0 configuration of E-Filing . I have referred to the blog [/people/vijaya.kumari2/blog/2006/01/26/how-do-you-activate-abap-proxies |/people/vijaya.kumari2/blog/2006/01/26/how-do-you-activate-abap-proxies ] and I want to confirm whether the PI 7.1 RFC configuration in the R/3 system would be the same for XI 3.0 as there is no clear SAP documentation about this. We had previously been using Business Connector for E-Filing.
    Many Thanks
    Rosie

    Yes in PI 7.1 also the same is applicable.
    As mentioned in blog -
    Create RFC destination (TCP/IP) LCRSAPRFC and SAPSLDAPI for the SLD connection in R/3.
    Same all settings u do.

  • Difference between -1 and null in the targettype filed

    Hi
    Could anyone advise what is the difference between -1 and null in the targettype filed in marketing documents?
    For example, in Sales Quotation - Rows (QUT1) table, I found for some open sales quotations, the field is null however the DB help file suggest the default value is -1 so I suppose it should be -1 for open documents.
    Many thanks for your advisory.

    Hi, Qian!
    I investigated that "-1" value appears in targettype field in Sales Quotation Rows (QUT1 table) when you Dublicate a Sales Quotation document (Ctrl + D). And NULL value appears when you create a new document without dublicating.
    In case you want to equal these 2 "empty"-values using T-SQL, you can use ISNULL(targettype, -1) function - this will give you -1 for both the "empty"-values
    HTH!

  • Copy values from a filed to another in different blocks in same table

    Hi All,
    How to copy value from a filed to another field in different blocks in same form ?
    example if i change value in Field A of block 1 it should reflect in Field B block 2 and again if i change in Field B block 2 it should reflect in Field A of block 1.
    values will change twice or thrice then it will not change. It is happening like that.
    how to do this ?
    Regards

    Same table / different blocks
    I guess, both blocks will be marked for update, and when your user presses commit, the same table will be updated twice!
    Are you sure that this is what you want to do? Is the same record current in both blocks? If so, you better use 1 block (it can be spread over several canvases and windows) and synchronize the items with the "synchronize item" property.
    Anyway: If you can't apply the synchronize-property bcos the items are in different blocks, you can synchronize with 2 when-validate-item triggers.
