V361 is mistaken, SQL Expression fields are available in CRXI.
As with previous versions though, it turns off depending upon the type of database and connectivity used.
Try using a real SQL database, or if MS Access, set up an ODBC connection to the database.
In the future include your database in your post to avoid guess work on our part.

SQVI - Not able to see all fields in a table.

Hello all,
I was not able to add few fields in a table into my report as I am not able to see those table fields in SQVI. For example T508A-RTEXT. Please let me know.

Hi,
As Tamas suggested, field RTEXT is actually a filed in text table T508S. You would have to join table T508S in your query.
For more info on text-tables, please look the below link:

Sql expression fields - odbc drivers

We are using Crystal 2008 with SAP ECC 6.0, and the database is sql server 2005. We had Integration kit installed. We have developed few reports with this one from ECC 6.0.
My problem is, I am not able to see the SQL EXPRESSION FIELDS in the FIELD EXPLORER of CR 2008. From the replies for my
previous postings in other forums here and from the feed back of Don Williams, I understood there is a problem with odbc drivers.
I checked trying with new report and tried using ODBC(RDO) but found no drivers. The ODBC data source window showing "dBASE Files, Excel Files & MS Access Database" in the data source Names field.
Even from my machine, I checked the ODBC drivers and found only the above three were present in the user DSN tab of ODBC data source administrator window. Shall I have to add ODBC drivers for SQL Native client OR SQL server OR both (FROM THE DRIVERS TAB)?
Will there be any other ODBC is required for SAP INTEGRATION?
What are the steps to resolve this and to activate and use the drivers? so that I can see SQL Expression fields & also "Show sql query".

Hi,
So by establishing the connectivity through the proper transports and authorizations done to CRM, can I build
single report by getting the data from two tables one from ECC and another from CRM?
>> which then means for SSO you need to configure 2 SAP systems on the BusinessObjects Server
And one more question, If I could not succeed in getting the connectivity through the proper transport & authorization to
CRM, (lack of basis resources) then can I use BAPI / RFC'S to pull the data from CRM into ECC and then into CRYSTAL(as, ECC is working fine with crystal through the integration kit)? Is it a good practice? Thanks in advance.
>> for CR then the ECC system would become the single point of entry. sure - that would work as well - but shoulnd't be necessary

SQL Expression Fields (Field Explorer dialog box)

I have Crystal Reports Version XI. When I open the field explorer I can't see "SQL Expression Fields (Field Explorer dialog box) "
Please help.

The following information helps you
Symptom
In Crystal Reports 9 and later, the 'SQL Expression Fields' is unavailable in the 'Field Explorer' dialog box. The report is reporting off a stored procedure or command object.
Why are 'SQL Expression Fields' unavailable in the 'Field Explorer' dialog box?
Resolution
'SQL Expression Fields' are unavailable in the 'Field Explorer' dialog box because the report is based on a stored procedure or command object.
When connecting to a Stored Procedure or using a command object the SQL Statement is predefined and cannot be modified by Crystal Reports therefore the SQL Expression field will not be available when connecting to either of these objects.
The SQL Expression field works by adding an entry into the SELECT portion of the SQL Statement in a Crystal report. A SQL Expression Field is only available in a report when:
u2022 The report connects to tables or views.
u2022 Crystal Reports generates the SQL statement.

SQL Expression Fields button not visible in Field Explorer

Hi,
On my Crystal Reports installation I can see the button SQL Expression Fields in Field Explorer but it is not visible on client's installation.
How do I make it visible? I need to create a new report with SQL query for client.
Thanks,

Commands are intended to replace the standard linked tables that must users are accustomed to.
I suppose Commands would be considered an "advanced" feature, considering that they require the developer to be able to hand write SQL (our at least copy it from another SQL editor).
If you are comfortable writing reading, writing & editing SQL, Commands will open a the door to a whole new level of control when it comes to creating your data sets.
The biggest problem w Commands is also it's greatest strength... If you're using a Command, CR will assume that you know what you're doing and will not try to rewrite or optimize your SQL in the background. You write it, CR sends it. That means if you write crappy SQL, CR will send your crappy SQL to the db server...
It also means that you can use join types that aren't available in CR and use sub-queries in in your SQL... Basically anything you can do in the db's native editor.

Sql expressions field option not available in field explorer

Hello:
I would like to create a sql expression field in my report. however when I go to the field explorer panel, a sql expression fields node is not available to create one. Does anybody know why is this not an option?
Thank You Very Much

Also if you are creating based off any stored procedure or View you can't see Sql Exprn under field explorer. I think it is also databse specific. What is the databse you are using ? also what is your datasource ?
Thanks,

SQL Expression fields do not display when no records are returned

I have a report that uses SQl expression fields to summarize in the Report footer. When the main report does not contain any records the SQL expression fields are blank.
Is there a way to force these SQL expression fields to be evaluated evn when the main report does not contain any records.
Thanks

Hi,
You can try this :
Under Report Options, check "Convert Database Null values to Default".

SQL expression field is not displayed on the page header if no records

Hello
I'm creating a quite simple report. In this report I've got a SQL expression field which returns a DateTime
I display this field on the page header section.
Everything is working fine except when my principal query doesn't return any records my SQL expression field is not displayed. It doesn't seem to be evaluated.
So, I would display this field even if my Details Section doesn't contains any record.
I hope you understand what I mean.
Can someone help me?
thanks

Hello,
I thought about creating a formula but the value I need is stored in a database.
So i created a simple SQL expression field.
SELECT CONVERT(DATE,j_1) FROM VW_STD_DATEFIXING
And this expression doesn't have any dependencies.

Not able to see Metadata fields when adding the fields to the rule in UCM

Not able to see Metadata fields when adding the fields to the rule even after creating them in information fields of configuration manager.It is happening for few fields only.We are using 10.1.3 version of UCM.Kindly provide a solution if any.

Dhilipan,
I am trying to setup AES at the current Customer.
You are right on LR_JP to be linked to customs code list instead of ACE and I do achieve that if I were to maintain the Custom code list by maintaining the assignment for EAR in a separate test.
I was infact trying to follow the link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/30c7015e-c191-2d10-71b9-95907dc8edd1?overridelayout=t…
On this document, if you look at page# 14 thru 17, it has the steps I described in my original note with customs code still appearing in the drop down for 'EXCPT' for EAR.
Nevertheless, I wanted to default Type = C50 when the license type for the line on the Customs declaration is 'EXCPT' but if you see the very last screen-shot below, even though the license type configuration has default value as 'C50' it did not get pulled into the line item Documents tab when I tried to pick the category as 'CUII'.
Let me know your thoughts on defaulting the data into Customs declaration for AES filing.
What I want to achieve is the following:
When License type is 'EXCPT', system should default the type as 'C50'
Should put the License type 'EXCPT' into the number field
Should put the actual License# 'ENC' into the Supplement field
Should put the ECCN # '5A002' into the Details field
Thanks,
Prashant.

SQL Expression Fields not showing

Hello,
I want to use "SQL Expression Fields", however, it doesn't appear in the Field Explorer.
The only options that appear in my Field Explorer are:
- Database Fields
- Formula Fields
- Parameter Fields
- Running Total Fields
- Group Name Fields
- Special Fields
I am connecting to Oracle 10g Rel.2 with ODBC.
I have no problems creating reports with queries that access the database.
Do you have any idea about why the option doesn't appear?

Not able to see the PSA

Dear Experts,
I have enhanced the extract structure of 2lis_13_vdkon in R/3 with 5 fields which are exist in transfer structure.
I have replicated the data source in BI but unfortunately i have not deleted the data in the PSA.
After replication when i try to activate the data source the system is giving Dump and im not able to see the PSA also.
Please help me out.
When i manage on the data source to c PSA, its giving error like this
Invalid DataStore object name 2LIS_13_VDKON_BB: Reason: No valid entry in table RSTS
The Dump when activating the data source is :
Runtime Errors         SAPSQL_ARRAY_INSERT_DUPREC
Exception              CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB
Date and Time          03.06.2009 09:46:55
How to correct the error
     Use an ABAP/4 Open SQL array insert only if you are sure that none of
     the records passed already exists in the database.
     If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
     find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
     If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
     keywords:
     "SAPSQL_ARRAY_INSERT_DUPREC" "CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB"
     "CL_RSAR_PSA===================CP" or "CL_RSAR_PSA===================CM006"
     "_UPDATE_DIRECTORY_TABLES"
     If you cannot solve the problem yourself and want to send an error
     notification to SAP, include the following information:
     1. The description of the current problem (short dump)
        To save the description, choose "System->List->Save->Local File
     (Unconverted)".
     2. Corresponding system log
        Display the system log by calling transaction SM21.
        Restrict the time interval to 10 minutes before and five minutes
     after the short dump. Then choose "System->List->Save->Local File
     (Unconverted)".
     3. If the problem occurs in a problem of your own or a modified SAP
     program: The source code of the program

Hi Venu,
The issue I think is the PSA was not deleted cleanly. If you try and activate the PSA you will get the dump again.
..Probably if you go through the ABAP dump you will notice it is pointing to the following code;-
   75 * Put the fields of PSA to database without check, otherwise error by
   76 * activation of table
   77
   78   IF p_psa_exists EQ rs_c_false OR
   79      i_new_version     EQ rs_c_true.
>>>>>     INSERT rstsodsfield FROM TABLE l_t_odsfield.
   81   ELSE.
   82     DELETE FROM rstsodsfield
   83       WHERE odsname = l_s_odsfield-odsname
   84       AND version = l_s_odsfield-version.
   85     MODIFY rstsodsfield FROM TABLE l_t_odsfield.
Put a breakpoint in the code in line 78. and activate the DS..the program should stop in 78...change the value of variable rc_c_false so that line 82 gets executed. This will clean up the PSA entries in table rstsodsfield. Now activate the DS and delete the PSA entries in the PSA table.
We faced the same issue and resolved it this way.
Thanks

"SQL Expression Fields" branch missing from Formula Workshop/Field Explorer

Hello,
I am using Crystal Reports XI R2 SP3. Some recent information I have seen suggests that I should use a feature called "SQL Expression Fields". If I search the built-in Crystal Report help for "SQL Expressions", on the help pages I see that there is a "SQL Expression Fields" branch in the left pane of the Formula Workshop, just under Formula Fields and just above Selection Formulas (it's unfortunate that I cannot embed a bitmapped screen print of this). The left pane of the Formula Workshop looks like this:
Report Custom Functions
Repository Custom Functions
Formula Fields
SQL Expression Fields
Selection Formulas
Formatting Formulas
However, in my local copy of Crystal Reports the SQL Expression Fields branch does not exist - the left pane of the Formula Workshop looks like this:
Report Custom Functions
Repository Custom Functions
Formula Fields
Selection Formulas
Formatting Formulas
Is there some special patch, add-in or plug-in that's necessary to enable this functionality?
Thanks in Advance,
Bob Gardner

I set up a DSN to a local MS Access database and used it for an ODBC connection. Once connected, the SQL Expression Fields branch was available in Field Explorer and Formula Workshop.
But I am developing reports for an ERP system that uses Oracle 10g databases - I have no choice but to use Oracle 10g databases as data sources for my reports. I am not sure how to set up an ODBC connection to an Oracle database as I have never had to do so - will SQL Expression Fields not work with the native Oracle driver?
Thank you,
Bob Gardner
