Multiple single values variables in cockpit not possible ??

Hi,
I'm trying to create a variable in SEM-CPM-MC, but no matter what I do, I'm only able to create a runtime variable with selection type P - Variable for single value. I can select the other values, but when I save the variable, SAP automatically corrects it to P - Singe value again. I can also create a design variable with the other types, but not a runtime variable. How do I create a variable for which you can enter an interval/multiple single values?
In the documentation it also says, that you should be able to create variables on a frame level. I don't see any button where I can create a variable on a frame level. I've done exactly as it says on help.sap.com, but I don't have a button to create a new variable on a frame level. How do I do that?
Any help is appreciated and will be rewarded generously :o)
Thanks,
ramesh

Hi Goutham R,
As of 4.0. it was by a limitation.
I have read some where that some users were able to meet the requirement by putting a semi colon at the end of each value in a excel and feeding it to the prompt but seems like you have already tried that.
Please see if you put a vote here in this link:

But I think this requirement can be met in Analysis edition for OLAP.

  • How to avoid SYSTEM_NO_TASK_STORAGE  with multiple single values variable

    Hi experts,
    I am trying to do a distribution with reference data standart SAP function.
    Fields to be changed:
    ZPDHIER2 (Economic Group II)
    ZPDHIER3 (Economic Group III)
    ZPDCLIENT (Client)
    Fields for condition:
    KEY FIGURE NAME
    Fields for reference:
    KEY FIGURE NAME
    ZPDSTATUS (Status)
    FISCPER3 (Fiscal Period)
    The parameters group is like:
    Fields for condition:
    Key figure: ZM_070 (one of the key figures)
    Fields for reference:
    Key figure: ZMONT_TN
    FISCPER3: 001
    Status: DE
    - "Only distribute not assigned" is checked
    I do not want the data to be distributed by any ZPDHIER2, ZPDHIER3 and ZPDCLIENT so I have restricted these characteristics in the planning level by some variables. These variables are user exit type and return multiple single values.
    The issue regarding this message is that when I execute this function, depending on the size of the data brought by ZPDCLIENT user exit variable, this dump might or might not occur. As for the testing I've done, i realize that if the number of clients exceed 500, dump will occur.
    This multiple single values variable (or any other solution) must be prepared for 3900 clients, and this number is expected to increase.
    Anyone have faced same problem?
    Hope you can provide me some help regarding this issue.
    Tanks in advance,
    André Oliveira

    Hi Wadih saad,
    I think the memory is not suffcient to hold the load. Check your swap space and memory during the client export and also check whether there is sufficient space in the hard disk to hold the export files.
    You must have calculated the client size by using the test run. This size must be available as free space in hard disk to do the export.
    Make the available space and do the export it will work.

  • Multiple single values variable

    Hello all
    I want to execute planning sequence throue button in my analyzer workbook.There is a multiple single values variable in the function. I know the regular way to write variable's value in excel: VAR_VALUE_1    1       Value. What is the format for a  multiple single values variable ?
    Best

    Hello,
    You can try this
    Enter VAR_NAME_1 in the Name column and the technical name of the variable in the Value column.
    Enter VAR_LINES_1 in the Name column and the number of values to be passed in the Value column.
    Enter VAR_NAME_2 in the Name column and the technical name of the variable in the Value column.
    Enter VAR_LINES_2 in the Name column and the number of values to be passed in the Value column.
    Now, in excel sheet in 3 consecutive columns enter the fields as below:
    VAR_VALUE_1, <index> and <value1>
    VAR_VALUE_1, <index> and <value2>
    VAR_VALUE_1, <index> and <value3> etc.
    and similarly for second variable:
    VAR_VALUE_2, <index> and <value1>
    VAR_VALUE_2, <index> and <value2>
    VAR_VALUE_2, <index> and <value3> etc.
    You can specify the above cell range in command range as it is done in the static parameters window. In Excel sheet hide these cells and use cell references to other cells for the variable values to provide a more user friendly appearance.

  • Variable exit not taking multiple single values...urgent pls

    Hi BW Guru's
    I have created an variable exit where the variable represents mulitple single values.
    In the customer exit when i trying to populate mulitiple values and move it to e_t_range it is not taking multiple values. I have also observed that it is a line item type. I want to know if there is anyway out since it is an urgent requirement. Any help would highly appreciated. I shall also award points accordingly. Thanks.

    Hi Anil,
    Thanks for your prompt response.
    I guess i am missing out some thing.
    The scenaio is like this I want to hard code some values which have to be removed from the selection hence I have created the variable  with multiple single value variable and I have removed (unchecked) ready for input as it is not required. After your suggestion I have also made it mandatory but after running the query I am getting a message Abort no value determined. I have written this code under if i_step = 1.
    My code goes like this….
    DATA: BEGIN OF I_SO_VENDNO occurs 0,
            SOURCSYS TYPE /BIC/TZSO_VEND-/BIC/ZSOURCSYS,
            ZSO_VEND TYPE /BIC/TZSO_VEND-/BIC/ZSO_VEND,
            TXTMD TYPE /BIC/TZSO_VEND-TXTMD,
          END OF I_SO_VENDNO.
    select * from  /BIC/TZSO_VEND into table i_so_vendno.
      loop at i_so_vendno where TXTMD CS 'GREAT LAKES'.
          l_s_range-low = i_so_vendno-zso_vend.
          l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
          l_s_range-opt = 'NE'.
          append l_s_range to e_t_range.
          clear: e_t_range, l_s_range, i_so_vendno.
      endloop.
    Want to know if I am missing out something.
    Thanks.

  • Subject: BW Query Variable – Multiple Single Values

    I have set a characteristic variable on process chain id. In General tab, Variable is u201Cprocess by manual inputu201D.
    In Details tab, I set:
    Variable represents Multiple Single Values, Variable is ready for Input
    When I run my query, I can select multiple process chain ids. Problem is query returns process chain information for only one value (first value entered for process chain id in multiple selections. I have verified process chain information exists for all the multiple values.
    Appreciate any feedback.

    Thanks, I do not find any other restrictions. If I simply remove the variable which lets me spacify multiple single values, I see
    all the process chains. When I  add this variable to query under retsriction and run the query, I see pop-up and I can enter multiple values, but only first one is being searched. There is probably some setting in variable definition somewhere that it only processes first value.
    Is there a way in RSRT to show me entire ABAP code of the query. 
    I ran RSRT set some break points but it is kind hard to troubleshoot. If I had the entire code, I can try to understand what is being done.

  • Difference between Multiple single values and Selection option variables

    Hi !
    Can any one tell me the difference between variable types:
    Multiple single values and Selection option?
    I used each one of them for selecting values for a characteristic but could not notice a difference in choosing values.
    Is there some difference in functionality or can they be used interchageably?
    Regards,
    Sri Harsha

    Harsha,
    When you go for slection option, in the variable input screen you will be having a button in the last where you can give your slections. There you can maintain either multiple single values and Multiple intervals or else not equal to also..
    Just check out there... you will be having tabs for each..

  • SAP Web-BEx: Variable "Multiple single values" and Excludes

    Dear experts,
    I got a "ultiple single values"variable and use excludes to avoid cetrain data to be shown. Sofar thats all workin quite well.
    But.. if I want to use this variable during navigation,  the variable values are not shown.. why is that?
    It seems the system does not know how to handle the exclude combined with the variable value.
    Does anyone have a solution for this?
    Thanks
    Oliver

    Hi,
    In BEx Web, it makes a big difference: with multiple values you can only fill a list of different values.
    WIth selection option, you can do basically what you want (as the typical GUI selection screen in the Excel BEx): enter a single and an interval including or excluding values, use the LIKE (contains pattern, *) etc....
    hope this shed light

  • Multiple Single Values in Characteristic Variable

    Hi,
    I set up a characteristic variable in the Query Designer and opt for "multiple single values" . When I execute the query, the variable dialog box does not give me those check boxes which I can use to check which values I want to see in the report.
    How come? Can you help me with that?
    Thanks,
    Sabine

    Hi Sabine.
    Did you remember to set the variable processing type as a user entry?
    In the query designer do you see the characteristic restricted to a variable?

  • Variable multiple single value filled with customer exit used in FOX form.

    Hi guys, I definitly need your help in the following scenario:
    I have variable (multiple single value) filled in a customer exit and use it in web template. There it is used in the drop down box for selecting a special date in the analysis item. And there comes the first question:Why the results from the customer exit are written in the way "date1; date2; date3" in one line? They should appear line by line in rows. How can I influence that? I tried both data binding types, "variable" and "characteristic".
    Now a button raises a planning function with a fox formula which should write the selected date (from the drop down box) in a customer table using "call function".
    I always get the error, that I need to restrict the variable to "single value". Why do I have to do that and if necessary how can I do that? Other planning functions without the fox formula also work properly with using the selection from the drop down box.
    I appreciate you help.
    Kind regards, Anja.

  • Copy using Variables with multiple single values in BEX

    Hi,
    I have a requirement wherein on executing the planning function, the system should take the FROM and TO values of 0FISCPER and copy the data accordingly.
    Source variable is 'Single Value'.
    Target variable is 'Multiple Single Value'.
    I tried to give the Command Range as below:
    $A$30:$C$31.
    The button sequence is as below:
    VAR_NAME_1      0         ZFISCPER
    VAR_VALUE_1     0
    VAR_NAME_2      1         ZFISCPER_M
    VAR_VALUE_2     1
    In the Analyzer, I entered the values as
    In A30, VAR_NAME_1     0     =C20
    In A31, VAR_NAME_2     1     =C21:C24
    The values that I entered are as below:
    C20 =   2007001 - Source value
    C21 =   2007002 - Target values
    C22 =   2007003
    C23 =   2007004
    C24 =   2007005.
    The problem that Im facing is the system is unable to identify the multiple values that I enter for Target Fiscper and it displays as :#VALUE!
    How to enter multiple single values and reference them accordingly?
    Rgds,

    Hi,
    I have tried to enter multiple single values as below:
    VAR_VALUE_1     0     000  - Source
    VAR_VALUE_1     1     003  -  Target
    VAR_VALUE_2     1     010
    VAR_VALUE_3     1     080
    VAR_VALUE_4     1     099
    When I tried to execute the planning function, the system copies the data from version 000 to ALL versions irrespective of values entered above.ie:
    1
    2
    3
    10

  • Interval selection and multiple single values in WAD Graphs

    Hi ,
    I am developing a Web Application Designer Graph  by combining multiple reports. I have 0CALMONTH,Country as my variable selections. By default I am able to select only single values (January,Feb etc.) But I need to select intervals(From-To) for 0CALMONTH and Multiple Single values for 0COUNTRY .
    I found the below link to use intervals by generating javascript
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/f5daaddfdb4c60e10000000a155369/frameset.htm
    But the issue here is, I am not able to change 'From' value i.e. according to this document , Interval start  is to be fixed in the script and I cannot change it later .But I want to change the interval start  any time later. I am not sure how to achieve this using this option.  Also I want to use mulitple single values variable for Country .
    Kindly let me know if there is any other possible options or work-around available.
    Thanks for your time.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Raja.

    Hi Janine,
            Thanks for your reply.I am using 7.0 Templates.Sorry to miss that part.  I think I need to explain the issue little more . I am developing a Chart  using Web Application Designer.  My Chart should be having the Variable in the top of the page and I can able to see that variable . Even I am able to change the values after the execution. But this is working fine only for the Single values, for ex. I can change the selection from June to July in the Chart and I am getting the correct result in my chart based on the selection .
          But the issue is ,I need to select Intervals for the month .Even though I created another variable with the option 'Interval' in the Query Designer , it is not showing the interval screen (From..To) ,instead still it is showing the single values option. I am using two different variables for these purposes and everything is correct with the query designer query. I am able to see the variable in the template,but I am not able to choose the interval values (only the intervals ,single value is ok)
    Thanks for your response
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Passing multiple single values from R/3 BAPI to BW Query in VC

    Hi Experts
    I have a VC model where I am calling an R/3 BAPI which is returning a table of customer accounts.  I'm trying to go directly from that BAPI to a BW Query and pass the table of accounts into the BW Query.
    The BW Query has been set up with a variable to accept multiple single values for accounts, and I have mapped the correct output field from the BAPI to the correct input field on the Query.
    The BAPI does not seem to be passing the table of accounts into the Query.   If I hard code a single account in the mapping of the BAPI to Query call, the Query successfully returns the data I expect.
    Can I pass a table of accounts to a BW Query in this way?
    Many Thanks
    Tom

    Hi
    Have you tried with 'Group & Combine' operator. Just add this operator & join your BAPI & BI Query to this. Then in ths configure of this oparator select the 'Accoount' field & gourp the data accordingly. Also specify the aggregation if required. & in the table/chart after the operator select the fields which you want to show.
    I hope this is what you are looking for.

  • Crystal Reports prompt single value variable from BEX

    Hi,
    after upgrade to BO 4.1 SP2 Patch 3 the prompt from BEX variable in CR doesn't work.
    After investigation the issue is happened for variables containing more than 9 values.
    Bex Setting: Variable -> Details -> Variable Represents -> Single value
    Variable which shows Jan-Dec
    The issue happens only on CR file stored in BO server in Cr design time it works fine.
    Is the bug known? Is there any solution?
    Harald

    Yep.
    Now tell me how you want to show that Prompt @ WebI report level.
    My problem is that in WebI selection screen we get list of date values from the info provider instead of Calendar prompt
    where user can enter the values directly. Exactly, i didn't get this??
    @Prompt:
    You have flexibility to show options like:
    Mono/Multi: User can select Single value or Multiple.
    BW Variable: Same we have (Single/Multiple)
    Free/Constrained: User can Enter his/her value directly or No change option.
    BW Variable: By defalut you will get this, once you made it to Optional input.
    Persistent/Not_Persistent: Refreshed report has to show last selected value means use Persistent otherwise Not_P.
    By seeing the Prompt syntax , I can say your Variable is after Customer Exit, Correct??
    Workaround for your Problem is:
    <FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A','Date\LovDate (Previous Day)Base',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
    You have to remove that Date class and objects from prompt syntax. Because of that it showing up LOV's not calendar.
    Like:
    <FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A',',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
    Why, It should be blank??
    Because Date needs no class\object to show up, by default you will get Calendar on the fly.
    Hope you got my point.
    Thank You!!
