Passing mandatory parameter within several calculation view

Question

Hi, I have syntax error when I try to pass parameter between several calculation view; let say:
Calculation view A: has mandatory parameter called company;
and
Calculation view B: has mandatory parameter called company;
What I want to achieve is to passing parameter from user from Calculation view B and then within Calculation view B, I called Calculation view A with user inputted parameter.
I have try similar like this, but giving me error:
var_out = SELECT ...
           FROM :CA_A a,
          "_SYS_BIC"."package-testing/CA_B" ('PLACEHOLDER' = ('$$COMPANY$$', COMPANY)) b
SQL: sql syntax error: incorrect syntax near "COMPANY": line ...
NB: COMPANY is mandatory parameter inside Calculated view B

Answer 1

Got it.
Actually, passing the parameters from one CA to the other should be the easiest part.
Just do something like:
lt_a = SELECT * FROM "_SYS_BIC"."package/CA_A" ( 'PLACEHOLDER' = ('$$COMPANY$$', :COMPANY) );
Where "COMPANY" is the input parameter's name within both views.
Basically, within the calc view's code, just use colon & the parameter's name to refer to the paramete, similar to how you do with a logical table (e.g. :lt_a in the aforementioned case). It would also be the same to refer to a parameter within a procedure.
From your original code, the only difference is the colon you forgot before "COMPANY" parameter reference.
Within CA_A's own code, it should be the same to refer to the parameter within the code (i.e. :IP_COMP in the above case).
How to achieve what you're trying to is another story. But if you want help with the SQL itself, I'd ask it in another discussion thread.
