Limit selection list for variables

Hello Experts.
Is there a way to limit the selection list for variables? For example, there are many possible currency values for 0CURRENCY, but I want allow the user to choose only one of these choices USD, EUR, or HKD. I would rather not do a validation check subsequent to the users making their selection.
I must use 0CURRENCY rather than copying it to another characteristic and entering only those three keys in master data.
Any ideas?
Kind regards,
Aron

If you are using the standard info object which is referring to '0CURRENCY' then it mayn't be possible to restrict the 'F4' list to few currencies in the standard BEx environment. There are couple of options to limit the 'F4' selections using the web template /BSP technology.

Check the setting again in the Query level and then maku sure you save it. Come out of the query and then re-open the query and execute, you can see the chages in the output.

Copy 'Favorites' in 'Select Values for Variables' screen

I need to copy a list that I created as a 'Favorite' in the 'Select Values for Variables' screen for Customer to all the other userids so that everyone is using the same list of customers. Can someone tell me the table(s) where these values are stored? Is there a function module or program available that copies 'Favorites'.
It would be nice if you could select if the 'Favorites' you create can be 'Global'.
Thanks.

the variant values are stored in RSRPARAMETRIZA. the field content stores in XML format. you can write an ABAP program to read and update it.

Is it possible to change values in pagination select list for a report?

The values showing up in my pagination select list for a report are 10,15,20,30,50,100,200,500,1000,5000.
Is it possible to not have this list show the 1000 and 5000 values? I've tried setting various row values in the layout and pagination section of the report, but nothing changes in the select list. Is there a way to change this, or is it set up in a template somewhere that I can change?
APEX version 3.0
Thanks

Figured this one out. Using the P1_ROWS item, added a static LOV with the correct values to override the one APEX was providing. The P1_ROWS item goes in the Number of Rows (Item) field in the layout and pagination section of the report.

Selection option for variable entry in BEx in 2004s

Hi All,
Have any of you noticed that the selection option functionality for variable entry while creating a variable does not allow wild card entry,Even though you create the variable with selection option as input.
In 3.5 we had option the option "contains the pattern " but in 2004s its not available in the variable entry screen.

Hello Guys,
When I posted this thread we were upgrading to SP11, now I am in the middle of another upgrade (SP15) and I still notice that wild card option is yet to be made available for a variable of type selection option.
Back then I had sent a message to SAP and was told that the functionality would be rolled out in new SP's. I am very curious as too how others are handling this problem, as they are bound to be reports for which such variables are a must.
P.S - The option has been made available

Onchange events when transforming select lists for EXTJS integration

Hi,
We have the folloiwng code that transforms select lists to extjs combo boxes
var selectfield = Ext.query('select[class!="shuttle"][class!="multiselect"]');
for (var r = 0; r < selectfield.length; r++) {
    //If there is an onchange event then don't convert as onchange is lost
    //This is used for cascading LOVs so we need to find a way of getting this to work
    if((selectfield[r].onchange == '' || selectfield[r].onchange == null) && ((r>0 && selectfield[r-1].onchange == null) || r==0) && selectfield[r].id != 'apexir_NUM_ROWS') {
      var newselect = new Ext.form.ComboBox({
        //hiddenId: selectfield[r].id,
        //hiddenName: selectfield[r].id,
        id: selectfield[r].id,
        typeAhead: true,
        triggerAction: 'all',
        transform: selectfield[r].id,
        width: selectfield[r].clientWidth+5,
        emptyText:'Please select...',
        forceSelection: true,
        maxHeight: 200,
        disabled: selectfield[r].disabled
}The code does not convert select boxes that have onchange events as the code above seems to suggest they get lost when transforming. Does anyone know if that is the case, and if not how I amend the code to include the onchange events from the original select lists.
Regards
Paul

Hi Vee,
Thanks for pointing it out -- here at work the only version of IE I have is 6 and I assumed (as usually is the case) it was because of a bug in that specific version. However, I have the all-powerful, (allegedly) standards-compliant IE 9 at home and it behaved exactly the same way!
So you cannot say this is due to an old, non-supported browser. Surely it fits in the bug category then? After all events should not be triggered at random...
Thanks also for the suggestion to fix it. I didn't try it because, in the end, I found out that if I use onchange instead of onblur (in the text field) the problem doesn't occur! onblur would be better, but onchange works fine for what I need.
Thanks

Selection List for Costing Run

Hi guys
I vaguely remember that there is a place where I can create a selection list on only the materials that I want to cost in CK40n, but I cant seem to find it any more.
I tried the CKMATSEL - Create transaction, but when I go to execute the Selection in CK40n, I dont see what I created in CKMATSEL...
Is there any other way or am I doing something wrong in the CKMATSEL screen?
Thank you
Rukshana

Hi Rukshana,
Pls go through the following which may be of help...
1. If you want to exclude the Materials from a single Costing Run...
If you want to exclude some Materials from Costing Run, when you select the Materials to be costed in the "Selection Parameters" of Costing Run, press the Arrow button for additional selections, click on "Exclude Single Values" and mention the Materials which you want to exclude from the Costing Run.
In the selection, you can select all the Plants (Plant 1 to Plant 4). By this, system will exclude those materials which you mentioned from all Plants when you run the Cost Estimate.
2. If you want to exclude the Materials from being costed on permanent basis...
Go to MM17 (materials mass maintenance), select the "Fields" tab, "Find" - "NCOST", select that row, press "Execute". Now, select/give all the Materials which you want to exclude from being costed, mention the Plants and "Execute". You will see the list of Materials which you have mentioned and on the right hand side, you will see the column with "NCOST" field. Mark "X" for all materials there.
This NCOST field is nothing but "Do Not Cost" check box in "Costing1" of Material Master. By this, system will understand that, whenever Cost Run is done, all these materials should be excluded from being costed.

Update primary key with a tabular form based on a select list for each row

Hello!
I've two tables: Table1 with only one column (primary key) is a foreign key for table2.column1 (primary key). There is also a second primary key column in table2.
Now I want to change the primary key values in table2.column1 with a tabular form (MRU) based on a select list (LOV based on table1.column1) for each row.
The user should be able to choose for every row a new value from the select list to change the old primary key value at this position.
How can I do this with ApEx?
I've the tabular form and so on, but at the moment I get the following error:
"Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: Fehler in MRU: row= 1, ORA-20001: ORA-20001: Die aktuelle Version der Daten in der Datenbank wurde geändert, seit der Benutzer einen Update-Prozess eingeleitet hat. ..."

Query - select values for variables form list / Bex 7

when I open a query in the 'Business Explorer Analyzer 7' and I want to select the values for my variables from list, BW shows always the values from history.
Is it possible to change this? I want to see always the single values.
Thanks and best regards.

Hello Jörg
The variable values in history are shown in drill down button of variable input box, whereas a button beside it will show a list of values when clicked. These are F4 value help selections.
How is variable created? Please create variable with basic settings as
'single value'.

Upper Limit on Lists for Q of Q

Consder the following sql
select somefields
from atable
where afield in (somelist)
In Oracle, there is a limit on the number of items somelist
can contain. In 9i for example, the limit is 1000.
Has anyone come across a limit for query of queries? I've
successfully run queries where the list had roughly 1500 items in
it, so if there is a limit, I know it's higher than tha.

Good information bhgdfh! I'll have to reinstall OS 9 it seems to load the firmware, which is fine. If I end up buying the drive, I'll post the results! Meantime, I'm keeping the question unanswered in case anyone else has additional input.

SELECT-OPTIONS for variables that cannot have a range

Hi all,
There is an option to show only one input-field for a select-options declaration by using the 'no intervals' option. But it is still possible for the user to specify ranges when doing multiple selections (i.e. specify intervals for the variable).
However, if I have a variable that implicitly does not have ranges, (e.g. 'Arjun' TO 'Shankar' makes no sense at all), I want to let the user do multiple selections for it, without allowing him/her to enter ranges for it.
Can I do this in a selection screen in any way (even if it involves not using select-options)? And if yes, how?

Use this:
SELECT-OPTIONS xxxx FOR yyyy NO INTERVALS
NO-EXTENSION.
