One more Problem with SAP query

Hi All,
I am having a problem with SAP query
Execution of SAP query transaction is leading to Dump
the dump says Field 'R01' contains no fields, syntax check on the program shows same error.
When I tried regenerating the Query in SQ01
" Query Specification cannot be use to generate list
Ranked list contains only numeric fields
Please help me

I am not sure what business process you are describing here - is it some kind of third-party sales order? If so, your join is wrong.
From VB E P, firled BANFN and BNFPO you can go to table EBAN, where in field EBELN you will find the number of the purchase order (if somebody already had an MRP+Me58 run over the PR) which will lead you to table EKKO, and EKPO.
So what we have here (essentially is):
VBAK -> VBAP -> VBEP -> EBAN -> EKKO -> EKPO
But that only solves one of your problems - you still have a long way to go to get invoices, partner and partner roles into there and I am beginning to ask myself what exactly it is you want to evaluate.
Care to explain?

  • One more problem with sending parameters

    hi people!
    I'm new in JSP, so don't laugh at me if i'm asking for something stupid or obvious.
    I have a form in my jsp which contains several input texts. the number of these texts is different according to query results by which this page is generated. Such as:
    <jbo:DataSource id="reportBoundVarsVO" whereclause="<%=whereString%>" appid="ServerModule" viewobject="ReportboundvarsView" />
    <FORM method="post" action="GeneratedReport.jsp">
    <%RowSet boundRows=reportBoundVarsVO.getRowSet();
    Row cr;
    %>
    <%while (boundRows.hasNext()) {
    cr=boundRows.next();%>
    <%=cr.getAttribute(2).toString()%>
    <INPUT TYPE=TEXT SIZE=10><BR>
    <%}%>
    <P><INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Ok"></P>
    Then i need to send values of these texts to next page... But, texts have no NAMES so how can i get parameters in next page? I mean how can I use methods like getParameterValues()?
    thanks

    <INPUT TYPE=TEXT SIZE=10><BR>--------------why not <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME =" TextName"SIZE=10><BR> ...in this way each #text# input have same -TextName
    <%}%>
    <P><INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Ok"></p>
    Then i need to send values of these texts to next
    page... But, texts have no NAMES so how can i get
    parameters in next page? I mean how can I use methods
    like getParameterValues()?------then in next page use getParameterValues("TextName")

  • More problems with java query API - getExcerpt fails

    If I write my code this way, everything works:
    mySearchRequest.setQuery(new oracle.ultrasearch.query.Contains(searchString, metadata));
    But if I do this, Document.getExcerpt() starts returning null for the same search hits:
    mySearchRequest.setQuery(
    new oracle.ultrasearch.query.And(
    new oracle.ultrasearch.query.Contains(searchString, metadata),
    new oracle.ultrasearch.query.From(metadata.getGroup(groupToSearch))
    Does anybody know how to make this work? I need to limit my searches by groups so that I don't have to create a new UltraSearch Instance for every single web site that has to be crawled (I have several).
    Troy

    Well, I finally discovered he solution on my own, by reverse-engineering Oracle's own search.jsp (which does not use Oracle's custom tag library, btw) (probably because same doesn't really work, or at least it doesn't what's in the documentation doesn't work) (which isn't surprising).
    You have to do the "From" part of the query as an "attribute filter".
    oracle.ultrasearch.query.Query searchQuery=
    new oracle.ultrasearch.query.Contains(searchString, metadata);
    oracle.ultrasearch.query.Query attrQuery=
    new oracle.ultrasearch.query.From(metadata.getGroup(groupToSearch));
    oracle.ultrasearch.query.Request searchRequest=new oracle.ultrasearch.query.Request();
    searchRequest.setQuery(searchQuery);
    searchRequest.setFilter (attrQuery);
    Maybe that will do somebody some good somewhere...

  • One more problem with iOS 7 on my iPhone 5.

    If I left open website with online video on my iPad Mini – Safari syncing with iCloud eats 12% charge per night on my iPhone . Time use statistics in iPhone in this case is close to the waiting time on the phone. Helps site closing in safari on the tablet and off / on safari synchronization settings on my phone.

    Apple's servers are probably very busy. You may want to wait for a little while before trying again.

  • One more problem with OPEN_FORM

    Hi All
    I called form'a' from main form and made changes to form'a' and user pressed exit button from main form, Now oracle prompts for save changes screen, If user select ok/no it works fine but if user select cancel, I want to stop the processing until user makes change but what I'm facing is application already exsiting the main form and leaving form'a' available to user, How do I stop this?
    I want to set the focus to form'a' until user makes change also not to exit main form, Presently Oracle is exiting main form, I do not want to exit.
    How do I this, please help me
    Thanks in advance.

    I fixed this prob, if any body want solution, please reply to this thread

    Thank you very much....

    Hi Itmar,
    I was having the similar issue on my Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server. At times SAP prints stop working. Then i changed Printer Type to "G" and it had solved the problem. It skips the use of SAPLPD service and calling windows printing service directly.

  • Problem with Hierarchical query

    Gurus,
    I have a problem with hierarchical query, which I am pasting below.
    select sys_connect_by_path (Fname,'/')"PATH",Fname,id,level
    ,(SELECT COUNT(ID)-1 FROM (SELECT CONNECT_BY_ROOT LNAME LNAME,ID FROM CMT_PERSON
    START WITH ID = 'emplo000000000126009'
    CONNECT BY PRIOR ID=MANAGER_ID)
    GROUP BY FNAME)"COUNT"
    from CMT_PERSON
    WHERE
    LEVEL <= 4
    ----And ID='emplo000000000001877'
    CONNECT BY PRIOR id=manager_id
    ----AND NOT LEVEL > 3
    START WITH ID='emplo000000000126009'
    As per the result, count is getting repeated for all the levels. That is, count is coming 16100 for every level, Can you please help where exactly I am going wrong
    Regards

    You do not say anything about what count you want to get?
    A wild guess could be:
    select
       sys_connect_by_path (p1.fname, '/') "PATH",
       p1.fname,
       p1.id,
       level,
       (select count (id) - 1
        from
           (select connect_by_root p2.lname lname, p2.id
            from cmt_person p2
            start with p2.id = p1.id
            connect by prior p2.id = p2.manager_id)
        ) "COUNT"
    from cmt_person p1
    where level <= 4
    connect by prior p1.id = p1.manager_id
    start with p1.id = 'emplo000000000126009';Since your inner query simply starts with the hardcoded employee id, naturally it will give you the same count.
    My guess is your inner query should start with the person id from the outer query?
    If that is not the case - please state in plain english what you are trying to accomplish ;-)
    (Oh, and please paste code within tags so we can read it more easily...)

  • Problem with update-query

    Hallo,
    i have a problem with following query. I wanna update the columns in the nutzung table. There are 7 columns but my query updates the geometry that in all columns is the same geometry or I can not update because the query gives more than 1 row in the subquery.
    update nutzung
    set geometrie=(SELECT F1840_GEOM FROM UG_F1840_GEOM,Nutzung WHERE NUTZUNG.OBJNR=UG_F1840_GEOM.F1840_OBJNR AND GETFEATUREID(UG_F1840_GEOM.F1840_FID) IN(SELECT MSLINK FROM FEATURE WHERE FCODE like '%0000'));
    Maybe I need the ug_f1840_geom table in the update query. Don't know how to change the query.
    Regards, Katrin

    hi it's me again .I am getting error for this
    statement
    if(numOfUsers>0)
    stmt.executeUpdate("update defaultchatrooms set
    s set nodename =
    '"+chatTopic+"'('"+numOfUsers+"')'");
    1. Your update string looks like this:
    update defaultchatrooms set nodename = 'someChatTopic'('0')'
    Does that look right to you?
    2. This will update the column nodename in every row in the table defaultchatrooms. Aren't you missing a "where" condition?

  • Reporting designer - problem with insertin query

    hi, I have problem with inserting query into reporting designer, when i do it there occurs metadata error and the system write check query, but query is ok, there are no variables. Have you any idea whats the problem.
    thanx

    I had a similar problem after "upgrading" to SAPGUI 7.10, except my failure was in the BEx Analyzer. (We are still using BW 3.5 SP 18.)
    The solution I found was in SAP Note 1039191 which addresses this problem for both the Analyzer and the Query Designer, and includes a revised "wdbsPres.dll" file as a workaround. After downloading and installing this file, the problem was resolved.
    BTW, I have asked SAP when this will be fixed in a future FEP, but they have so far only given me a very ambiguous reply suggesting that I try it on another PC.
    Hope this helps...

    Arthur suggestion works but you shouldnt even be doing this on a SQL Task.
    Use a data flow task. You'll have better control over the data that is being transfered and get better performance because no staging table will be used.
    Just because there are clouds in the sky it doesn't mean it isn't blue. But someone will come and argue that in addition to clouds, birds, airplanes, pollution, sunsets, daltonism and nuclear bombs, all adding different colours to the sky, this
    is an undocumented behavior and should not be relied upon.

  • Can SAP GRC AC 5.3 connect without any problem with SAP R/3 4.7 Enterprise?

    hello,
    I went to the PAM in the SAP Marketplace to see if SAP GRC AC 5.3 could connect to SAP R/3 4.7 Enterprise but I can't see all the "Add-On Product Version for...", it's cut off.
    Can SAP GRC AC 5.3 connect without any problem with SAP R/3 4.7 Enterprise?
    If I can't is there any proof about it? I have to show it to a client.
    Best Regards,
    Pablo Mortera,
