Parameter value in Text symbol

Hi,
I have to put a parameter value in a text-symbol and insert that text-symbol in a field.
Ex : If Text-001 = Field name & unknown
the desired output I require is
itab-field2 = Fileld name field1 unknown.
Just like displaying of a message, is it possible with text symbol ??
TIA,
Nitin

Hi
Why dont you do like this ..
Create two text-symbols
001 --> Field Name
002 --> Unknown
Have a Variable of type char . --> DATA var type char20 .
CONCATENATE text-001 P_parameter text-002 INTO var separated by Space .
Hope this Helps.

Issue passing values to text symbols in Dynamic text PDF forms

Hello Everyone,
I am facing a problem related to Dynamic texts in Adobe PDF forms (Text node of type include text). I am able to pass the dynamic values to the Text node properties but i am not able to pass the values to Text symbols inside the Text node. When tested it says the field not found. I have the same structure and field in the CONTEXT as that of the text symbol. The problem i see is because in PDF the field names have $record.(fieldname) ?
Please share your thoughts if anyone has faced similar problem or know how to handle it.
Thanks a million in advance,
Chandu

Open the report up in the Designer and Click on Edit, Subreport Links. Likely what you can do is use Shared Variables to pass values from the main report to the subreport.
You need to do this in the report first. If you are using RAS then you can at runtime. If RAS is not available to you then no way in code.
See these samples:

How can I pass URL parameter value to text field?

Dear Masters,
I have a text field. I want it to have a value based on the URL parameter, for example:
http://myapplication.net:7777/pls/apex/f?p=102:1:::::P1_RTNUM:9448,P1_EMAILADD:email.add.here
I want the value of the text field = P1_EMAILADD after the form was loaded. Also, please have it read-only.
Thanks a lot.

Not able to print the text symbol value

Hi All,
I am using BTE 1040 for email dunning. In this BTE, I have called my custom FM in which I have written a code such that an editor comes up with the predifined message which we can edit it after dispaying.
For example, my text is as below.
test1
test2
test3
&gv_sender_name&
test4.
Now in the above predefined message I have a text symbol &gv_sender_name& which holds the value. I have filled the baove text symbol with value.
But the when editor comes up with that above message, the same text is printed. The value in the text symbol is not printed. I have defined the variable gv_sender name in my custom fm and also in BTE. But still it didnot work.
I should the get the text as test1
                                           test2
                                            test3
                                            xyz
                                           test4
The above predefined text is created in Text module.
Can anyone help me out how to print the value of text symbol.?
Points rewarded for helpful answers...!!

Hi Klaus,
Please find my requirement.
I have created a text module with some text.
Let me say test1
                   test2
                   test3
                   &lv_user_name&
                   test4.
I am filling the above text symbol &lv_user_name& with some logic. Let me say that variable has value XYZ.
Now when I use that text module in the form layout. I should get the output as below.
Correct Output : test1
                          test2
                          test3
                          XYZ
                          test4.
But instead of above output, I am getting the below output which is wrong, because the value which is there in that variable should appear in the output.
                         test1
                         test2
                         test3
                        &lv_user_name&
                          test4
How to print that value in the output ?
Please let me know if you need any info on the above.
Thanks and Regards,
Karthik Ganti.

Assigning a Value to a Text Symbol: DEFINE

Hi all,
I am printing some text in the form. The text is in the database table and is retrieved. say the field name is fld06 in the table ztfin. Previously it is code as &zfin-fld06& in the form edotir. Now my requiremnet is to dispay some other text where ever I have to print ztfin-fld06. I have used the define statement in this way :
/: DEFINE &ztfin-fld06& = 'Data Fattura'
But when I look at the output the text is not replaced nor it is realised while I am debugging. Can anyone tellme where I am going wrong ?

Varun.

hi
chk this out
<b>DEFINE: Value assignment to text symbols
Text symbols receive their value through an explicit assignment. This assignment can be made interactively in the editor via the menu options Include Symbols Text. This lists all the text symbols of a text module, as well as those of the allocated layout set.
The contents defined in this way are lost if the transaction is exited. To continue printing the text module, you would have to enter the symbol values again.The DEFINE command allows you to anchor this value assignment firmly in the text, to also have it available when you next call up the text. Furthermore, you can allocate another value to a text symbol in
the course of the text.
Syntax:
/: DEFINE &symbolname& = value
Example:
/: DEFINE &re& = Your correspondence of 3/17/94
Example:
/: DEFINE &symbol1& = xxxxxxx
/: DEFINE &symbol2& = yyy&symbol1&
/: DEFINE &symbol1& = zzzzzzz
Result: &symbol2& yyyzzzzzzz
The assigned value may have a maximum of 60 characters. It can also contain further symbols. When a symbol is defined using the control command DEFINE, symbols which occur in the value are not immediately replaced by their value. They are only replaced when the target symbol is output. If the operator := is used in the DEFINE statement, all symbols which occur in the value which is to be assigned are immediately replaced by their current values. The resulting character string is only then assigned to the target symbol when all occurring symbols have been replaced. The length of the value is limited to 80 characters. The target symbol must be a text symbol, as at present.
Syntax:
/: DEFINE &symbolname& := value</b>

Text symbols in BOR

Hello,
I am using the FM 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1' for sending mails in workflow.
For this purpose I have created a method in the BOR and its being called instead of a Standard Send MAil step.
The reason for using this FM instead of the Standard Send mail step is that , I need to send a hyperlink which is around 250 chars long.This cannot be achieved through the standard mail step.
I am passing the hyperlink and the mail content in literals to the variables which forms the body of the email.
My question is that instead of using literals (which give me errors in the Code inspector check), is there a facility like Text symbols in the BOR. Or any other way I can replace those literals.
Many thanks in advance !
Thanks and Regards,
Ameya Kulkarni

Hi. I agree with Karri Kemp.
I prefer to use FM to send mail or any other type of codifications.
OR, if you prefer, why don't you store the LINK in another table and simply get it by a selection into a local variable ? I think it's a good way to maintain links. Because in future if this link change its address, you don't need the ABAP. You can store this link in a table accessed by SM30 and asks to key user or functional to maintain it. You can create a transaction to call this table like parameter transaction type.
Some times it's a good practice maintaining some values inside a table which a key user can maintain the values and don't need ABAP when it has any change. BUT it can help you with this case of LINK having more than 70 characters.
best regards.

Table containing Program Texts(Text Symbols, SelectionTexts, List Heading)

Hi All,
I would like to know which is the standard SAP std. table which stores the data regarding Text Symbols, SelectionTexts, and List Heading of every program we create. There should definitly be a table where it is stored (otherwise we will not be able to retrieve it each time).
I have found out a structure RS38M which has all the required fields. But since it is a structure, it doesnt contain data.
So please inform if any body knows any standard SAP table which stores Program Texts. A quick, correct reply would be highly appreciated.

Hi
All these texts are stored in text pool not in any std. table.
To retrieve these info u have to use statement like:
READ TEXTPOOL <prog_name> INTO itab LANGUAGE <language> [STATE state].
This statement reads the text elements of the text pool of the language specified in lang and the program specified in prog from the Repository and places them into the internal table itab. The previous content of itab is deleted. If the text elements cannot be read, then the content of itab remains unchanged.
For prog, you must specify a flat character-like data object, which contains the name of the program of the text elements to be read; the name is case-independent. The internal table can have any table type and its row type must correspond to structure TEXTPOOL from the ABAP Dictionary.
For lang, you must specify a flat character-like data object, which contains a language key of up to one character, whose value must be contained in the SPRAS column of database table T002. If lang contains a blank, the behavior is undefined.
After a successful read, itab contains in the ENTRY column the texts of the text symbols, the selection texts, the list headers and the title from the program attributes. Every text element that exists for the specified language occupies one row of the internal table and is identified uniquely by the columns ID and KEY. The column LENGTH contains the length of the text element. The table below shows the possible values of the columns ID and KEY and their meaning:
ID KEY ENTRY
H 001 to 004 List header: Column headings
I Text symbol identifier Text symbol text
R - Program title
S Name of a parameter or selection criterion Selection text
T - List Title: Titlebar

How to get parameter value from report in event of value-request?

Hi everyone,
The customer want to use particular F4 help on report, but some input value before press enter key are not used in event of "at selection-screen on value-request for xxx", How to get parameter value in this event?

You probably want to look at function module DYNP_VALUES_READ to allow you to read the values of the other screen fields during the F4 event... below is a simple demo of this - when you press F4 the value from the p_field is read and returned in the p_desc field.

Reading POST-Request-Parameter-Values from WebDynPro now possible?

Hello,
in the past I always was disappointed that in WebDynPro there was no way to read POST-request-parameter-values directly after the call of a WebDynPro-Application.
The only (documented) way to read / transfer request-data into an WebDynPro-application was via "URL query string parameters" in the request URL.
The last week I forgot this restriction. I called my WebDynPro-application using a POST-Request-Parameter (cookie_guid) instead of an URL-parameter.
After noticing my mistake, I was really surprised that the WebDynPro could read / shows the the POST-Request-Value.
I didn't make any changes in the coding of my WebDynPro-Application (zvis_show_sso_cookie).
After this cognition I built the following simple HTML-formular to analyse the behavior of the WebyDynPro by calling it with an URL-Parameter (cookie_guid=Url-GUID) together with the POST-Parameter (cookie_guid = Post-Value-GUID).
After calling the WebyDynPro it reads / shows the "POST-Value" of the request !!!
(Remark: If I made a simple refresh or type directly the URL "http://hg10762.vis-extranet.de:1080/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/zvis_show_sso_cookie?sap-language=DE&cookie_guid=Url-GUID" in the browser, the same webdynpro reads / shows the URL-Parameter-Value).

        <input type="reset" value=" Abbrechen">
      </td>
    </tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
My questions:
I there any documentation that describes the behavior of WebDynPro after calling it by using POST-Parameter values?
I believe in the past it wasn't possible to read POST-request-parameter-values in WD. Has SAP changed the functionality?
Is the behavior I described in my example above mandatory?
Regards
Steffen

As far as i know in general HTTP request GET method is standard but in SAP POST is standard. All the client request is passed as POST to the server in order to avoid the URL parameter length restriction in GET method.

Retrieve All records and display in Report using CAML query in Report Builder if Parameter value is blank

Hello Experts,
i have created a report where i have one parameter field where user will pass parameter(e.g. EmpId). As per parameter record will fetched to report if no parameter is passed then it will display all records. I have done it by taking SqlServer Database as datasource.
by using Following method
Now i would like to do it by taking Sharepoint List as Datasource. For that what would be the CAML Query.
Here is my existing CAML query.
<RSSharePointList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<ListName>Employees</ListName>
<ViewFields>
<FieldRef Name="Title" />
<FieldRef Name="FirstName" />
<FieldRef Name="LastName" />
<FieldRef Name="FullName" />
<FieldRef Name="UserName" />
<FieldRef Name="Company" />
</ViewFields>
<Query>
<Where>
<Eq>
<FieldRef Name="Title" />
<Value Type="Text">
<Parameter Name="EmployeeId"/>
</Value>
</Eq>
</Where>
</Query>
</RSSharePointList>
The above code is working if i am passing an employeeId to Parameter. If nothing is passed, it is Not retrieving any record.
Please suggest
Thank you

Your problem follows the well-established pattern of using an "All" parameter filter in SSRS. There are a few approaches depending on the size of your data. The easiest one is to return all data from CAML and then filter it within SSRS, the following thread
provides some examples,
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18203317/show-all-records-some-records-based-on-parameter-value.
Other options include passing all of the possible values within the CAML query when "All" is selected, using multiple Report Files to distinguish between both CAML queries, or to use multiple datasets with some logic to show/hide the correct one.

Crystal Report Prompt For Enter Parameter Values

Hi,
I did a report with 2 subreports embeded in VS2005 using VB and it worked fine but when I ported the whole application to VS2008 the above problem occurs. Here are some codes:
    Private Sub btnPreview_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPreview.Click
        Dim viewer As New frmReportPreview
        Dim rpt As New ReportDocument
        Try
            rpt.Load("C:\Report\crptMain.rpt")
            rpt.SetParameterValue("Code", Me.cbxCode.Text)
            rpt.SetParameterValue("Code", Me.cbxCode.Text, "crptSubReport1.rpt")
            rpt.SetParameterValue("Code", Me.cbxCode.Text, "crptSubReport2.rpt")
            viewer.report = rpt
            viewer.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
            viewer.ShowDialog()
        Catch crptEx As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.EngineException
            MessageBox.Show(crptEx.Message, "Crystal Report Errors...")
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Crystal Report Errors...")
        End Try
    End Sub
Private Sub frmReportPreview_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        Dim rpt As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
        Try
            Me.CrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = m_report
            Me.CrystalReportViewer.RefreshReport()
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error...")
        End Try
    End Sub

Subreport Parameters are contained within the Main Report's ParameterFieldDefinitions collection. Passing Subreport Parameter values directly to the Subreport will result in the values not being applied and the user being prompted at runtime to provide new values.

How can i pass parameter values from html to a shell script

Hi Guys...
I had a requirement where i need to execute a sql statement and print the output in HTML page. This report has parameters to enter. So i created a HTML form which accepts parameters. When the submit button is pressed, the action tag in the form invokes unix shell script file. It will open sqlplus and run the sql script file .sql and print the output in the HTML page.
sql script contains the query and some set options which prints the output in HTML page. Like "SET MARKUP HTML ON"... The query has some parameters like "select * from emp where empno = &&empnumber. I will use the same name "empnumber" while created the HTML parameter form like " <input type = "text" name="empnumber" size="10" align="left">.
user sees this parameter form and enters some value in to that empno text box.
My question is how can i catch these parameter values in a shell script and pass it to the sql script to execute it.
Help Appreciated
Thanx

This is a A Bad Idea (tm). This type of CGI processing is old and were (and still is) full of security holes. Very easy to inject stuff (Unix commands and SQL) into it.. To get those parameters into SQL*Plus requires using Unix shell commands to process it - and something like a backquote allows all kinds of nasty stuff to be injected. The Unix shell was never designed to be used as a secure CGI environment.
There are far better and far superior alternatives. Perl (with Perl_DBI) and PHP (using Zend Core for Oracle) come to mind as web scripting languages.
Even easier is using HTMLDB. Very few moving parts. Is free. Supports Oracle 9.2 and 10G.

Dear members,
I am getting the following error while running the report :
REP-3131: Parameter form boilerplate text cannot fit on the page
can any body tell me how to correct it. I need to add a extra field in the standard oracle report "RECEIPT TRAVELER". when i was trying to run it in report builder 6i i got the above mentioned error. please give ur quick replies.
thanks

sandeep

When you add your new field into the parameter mask, please check, if the value is too
long for your parameter mask site. Make a double click on the master attributes of your
report in the object navigator and look at the size of the parameter mask window.
Make it bigger, if you want (vertically und horizontally size).
Check the length of the text of your parameter mask title, too.

Problem in getting parameter value from selection screen in web dynpro abap

Hi Radhika,
Try using GET_RANGE_TABLE_OF_SEL_FIELD...
Please Refer below code..
   DATA: NODE_FLIGHTS TYPE REF TO IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE.
DATA: RT_CARRID TYPE REF TO DATA.
DATA: ISFLIGHT TYPE TABLE OF SFLIGHT.
DATA: WSFLIGHT TYPE SFLIGHT.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <FS_CARRID> TYPE TABLE.
Retrieve the data from the select option
RT_CARRID = WD_THIS->M_HANDLER->GET_RANGE_TABLE_OF_SEL_FIELD( I_ID = 'S_CARR_ID' ).
Assign it to a field symbol
ASSIGN RT_CARRID->* TO <FS_CARRID>.
CLEAR ISFLIGHT. REFRESH ISFLIGHT.
SELECT * INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE ISFLIGHT FROM SFLIGHT
                       WHERE CARRID IN <FS_CARRID>.
NODE_FLIGHTS = WD_CONTEXT->GET_CHILD_NODE( NAME = `FLIGHTS` ).
NODE_FLIGHTS->BIND_ELEMENTS( ISFLIGHT ).
Thanks,
