Make data selections obligatory in report painter

Hi,
Is it possible to make the selection parameters obligatory in report painter? If so, can anyone explain me how? Thanks!

Hi,
Define a variant where you define the relevant fields as mandatory. Then, you have to create your transaction which will run this report, and in the attributes you define that this transaction should be run with a variant. The users should access to report with this Z-transaction.

Eli

Printing Selection Variant in Report Painter

Hi, I am using ECC 5. There is a requirement for printing the selection variant in Report Painter (GR55) Reports. Presently there is a provision to print selection fields and values.
Is any way, I can print a Selection Variant and Name in Report Painter? I understood that the information is stored in Table VARIT. This table contains Lang., Report Name, Variant and Short text. I do not know how to get this info in Report screen.
Can any one help?
Advance Thanks
Venkat

Hi,Thanks for your reply. Let me explain.
When using Transaction Code GR55, enter Report Group, Execute. This will open a Report Paramenter screen. In this screen, if you select Goto --> Variant --> Get OR Get Variant icon, this will show the available selection variants. Select any one of them and run report.
In report it will pick-up the each selection paramater field and value NOT a variant.
Is any way to get the variant also printed in report?
Hope this will is clear.
Thanks
Venkat

From Profit Center
To Profit Center
How do I wipe out this fiscal year from my selection screen? In GRR2 -> EDIT--> General data selection , I only have profit center values.I dont know why this fiscal year is coming up as a selction parameter when I hard coded in the column.Any help.Thanks

HI Shaun
In GRR2, Against the char, there is a check box where in you specify to treat it as a variable.. DId you check that box? Unless you check that, it wont appear in the selection screen

Hello...
In the program ...we can find the following chunk of code..
selection-screen:begin of block B1 with frame title text-001.
Parameters : ....
select-options:.....
selection-screen:end of block b1.
if we need to add any more user inputs we can write the code inside the existing
selection screen....end of block .
or create a new block ..just the block name should be different...
if we are using select options...we need to declare the table name using the key word for the field on which we are giving select options ....
Tables : BSIK.
Please see the following code:
Imagine :- we have the current selection screen..
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B1 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-001.
PARAMETERS: P_BUKRS LIKE BSIK-BUKRS DEFAULT SPACE.
SELECT-OPTIONS: S_LIFNR FOR BSIK-LIFNR.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK B1.
we need to add 2 more fields on the selection screen ..this we can do as the following
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B1 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-001.
PARAMETERS: P_BUKRS LIKE BSIK-BUKRS DEFAULT SPACE.
SELECT-OPTIONS: S_LIFNR FOR BSIK-LIFNR,
                S_HKONT FOR BSIK-HKONT.
PARAMETER: P_DATE LIKE BSIK-BUDAT OBLIGATORY DEFAULT
           SY-DATUM.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK B1.
OR...create a new block...
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B2 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-002.
SELECT-OPTIONS:   S_HKONT FOR BSIK-HKONT.
PARAMETER: P_DATE LIKE RFPDO-ALLGSTID OBLIGATORY DEFAULT
           SY-DATUM.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK B2.
there are many options available in selection screens..like creating check box,radio button etc..
for more info press F1 help on the Selection screen in the ABAP editor
Revert back if not clear and reward if helpful

Adding additional field for selection criertoria for report painter

I am trying to add a new selection criterion for a report which is created from report painter. I have run Transaction Code GRR2 and selected the library 1VK which is cost centers: absorption costing and doubled clicked on the report.
Clicked on edit on the header à General data selection à I am looking for a option for company code but I cant find it in the list. Is there anywhere I need to flag the field company code as characteristic value or am I missing something??
Thanks

hi,
You might want to try add parameters in general data selection.... in addition you can add variable against this field so that it appears on selection-screen. You can look at standard SAP report for example.
hope this helps.

Adding a Date Field to a Report Painter

Hi,
Could someone please throw light on adding a date field (for example, scheduled finish date of network) to a report painter report? I don't think this field (or any date field for that matter) is available as a characteristic for report painter.

Hi Mahesh,
i'm in the process of making a similar change,
copying to a ZPROGRAM is not so difficult, but as i told you you have to add your new field to VBMTV structure, and copy the includes that you need to change,
P.S. Note, when you copy you have to change some SELECT statements where
it's selecting from T180V table based on sy-repid, you hav to change sy-repid to SAPMV75A, as there's some configuration done for this.

Creating Selection screen in Report Painter

Good day everyone,
Does anyone know how I could create a selection screen in Report Writer? Thanks!
>Christian<

Hi,
Simple Parameters or Selec-options statements will suffice.
Eg : Parameters : p_matnr type mara-matnr.
select-options : s_matnr for mara-matnr.
In selection screen, you may have selec-options, parameters, check boxes, radio buttons etc.

Sujatha.

Can we have a if condition during data selection in Query Report (SQ02)

Hi all,
I have a required where in need to create a query report , where in which there are two types of condition exists.
first i input either functional location into View V_EQUI , when there is a equipment BOM exists(or when there is any entry for Equipment feild exists ) then the selected euipment should be passed to EQST else if equipment doesnot exist then the Functional location should be passed to TPST.
Now that I created a query report with base table as V_EQUI and joined it with EQST and whenever the equipment feild has a entry , it passes the equipment to EQST and works fine.
Now for some Functional location there is no equipment feild that exists for these base table is V_EQUI now when there is no entry for equipment , the functional location should be passed to TPST.
Now I would I achieve that.
Can I put a if condition to check on if equipment is initial then select X Y Z from tpst where fl = v_equi-fl.
Regards,
Raj

Select Options, Report Painter

How can I create "Select Options" for a variable in the "General Data Selection" of the report painter screen.
Thank You.

If you specify selection parameters for several years and periods in a
    Report Writer or Report Painter report, the characteristics year and
    period are taken into account independent of each other.
    A report with the selections:
           From-year   :    1997
           To-year     :    1999
           From-period :     003
           To-period   :     008
    will hence select all the following data:
            003/1997 .. 008/1997, 003/1998 .. 008/1998, 003/1999 .. 008/1999
     This is the standard behavior of Report Writer and Report Painter
     reports.
     However, reports which directly display the data for the period
            003/1997 ............................................. 008/1999
     are required in some cases.
     You can achieve this in the report definition using the following
     procedure.
     Additional key words
     several years several periods GS274
     rolling periods, rolling
           SUPPORTGUIDE 20010330131459
     REPORTWRITER, SGRW_DOCU_CONS_NOTE,
     SGRW_OM SGRW_PS SGRW_PC SGRW_SL SGRW_PCA SGRW_EC SGRW_LIS
     Cause and prerequisites
     This is a standard behavior of the Report Writer.
     Solution
     A procedure is described below to implement the selection over a period
     of several years and periods. This is merely an example which should
     serve as a support for experienced users of the Report Painter and
     Report Writer when defining their own reports.
     1. Definition of auxiliary column 1: 'All-periods'
         Period:   0 ... 17
         Year:      From-year .. To-year
         000/1997.....................................................017/1999
         Definition of auxiliary column 2: 'Periods before'
         Period:   0 ... From-period - 1
         Year:      From-year
         000/1997..002/1997
         Definition of auxiliary column 3: 'Periods after'
         Period:    To-period + 1 .. 17
         Year:      To-year
         009/1999..017/1999
         Definition of the formula column:
         Formula = 'All-periods' - 'Periods before' - 'Periods after'
         000/1997.....................................................017/199
         9
         000/1997..002/1997
         009/1999..017/1999
                            003/1997............... 008/1999
         Hide the three auxiliary columns. The formula column now correctly
         shows the required period
                            003/1997............... 008/1999
Note:The new reporting table RWCOOM is also available as of Release 4.0
for reports which were, up to now, defined in table CCSS. RWCOOM
contains the characteristic FISCPER which represents a combination of
year and period. You can directly define reports over several years and
periods using characteristic FISCPER without having to follow the
procedure described above.
Please take into account that you cannot call reports via report
Interfaces in the formula columns (see Note 98187).
