Payroll PCR : IF THEN ELSE based on WT

Hi,
I need to get a decision based on the specific value of a WT.
I created a PCR which I call using the IF - function.
However, whenever entering the PCR it looks like I got no access to the stored wage types. Anyone knows the specific operand to get access to the relevant tables to make the decision based on the value of the WT?
Willie.

Hi,
as stated I call the PCR in the IF - function.
Based on the outcome of the condition (which is based on a WT and handled during the PCR being called in the IF - statement) I process the correct PCR via PIT:
i.e.
IF   PCR1
PIT TRUE    NOAB
ELSE
PIT   FALS    NOAB
ENDIF
PCR1 is currently
NUM=   1676
NUM?1
=
SCOND=T IF
SCOND=F IF
but as mentioned the value of NUM remains empty and therefore always triggering the false-part.
Any pointers?
Wilfred.

Sum function within if/then/else (xdofx:if)

I'm attempting to display a total at a particular group within my report. This total is conditional and should choose to display a placeholder value or the sum of another placeholder value (in a child group).
I have been able to vary my output based on the value I want to check: FIXED_QUOTE_FLAG - I have the if/then/else working in a simplified fashion
I can display literals and some placeholders correctlly eg. print a literal value of 00110011 or the value of placeholder QUOTED_PRICE
I can also display a calculated placeholder, using sum within the group I am concerned with: sum (current-group()/ACTIVITY_CHRG)
But when I try to get everythign working together ...
I cannot get the sum to work inside the if/then/else condition. The result is NULL (blank in HTML output).
The following is the snippet which is not working correctly:
<?xdofx:if FIXED_QUOTE_FLAG = 'Y' then QUOTED_PRICE else sum (current-group()/ACTIVITY_CHRG) end if?>

To answer you first question, perhaps sum is not a supported function in the xdofx namespace. It's annoying when this problem comes up because xdofx namespace seems to be the only way to do if then else clauses. I'm not entirely certain on the above, but you could resort to using BI Publisher's built-in if statement.
For your problem, something like this:
<?if: FIXED_QUOTE_FLAG='Y'?>
QUOTED_PRICE
<?end if?>
<?if: FIXED_QUOTE_FLAG!='Y'?>
<?sum(current-group()/ACTIVITY_CHRG)?>
<?end if?>
EDIT:
There is a way to do if else without xdofx namespace. It is done with <?choose:?> <?when:?> and <?otherwise:?> tags. Here is example syntax copied from Tim Dexter's blog:
<?choose:?>
<?when:count(TRX_NUMBER) > 0?>
Invoice Table
<?end when?>
<?otherwise:?>
No Data Found
<?end otherwise?>
<?end choose?>
To answer the second question about a running total, you will need to use the <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'var_name',var_value)?> and the <?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'var_name')?>. This method of working with variables is the only method that allows you to update a variable. This makes it good for running totals. Consult the official user guide under "Creating an RTF Template" the section about using variables and calculating running totals.
So, in your problem, once you get the first part working, you will have to add that value to your running total. It will look something like this:
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'running_total',xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'running_total') + conditional_value)?>
Remember to initialize the running total to zero! Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Problem with IF THEN ELSE in RTF template

HI ALL,
I have two layouts in the RTF template. Based on the parameter value it has to show the value.
For example if P_State='United States' then first layout should come. else second one should come.
I tried to use the IF Then else logic through the form field but i am getting error.
Please help on this to get it.
Regards
Boopathi

You can do that.
i guess, the syntax you are using is wrong.
please refer documentation or this forum for choose:
Use choose statement. it s better.
Or send me the template to my id in my profile. or upload it here http://apps2fusion.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=60

Select in CASE statement or in IF-THEN-ELSE

I have been struggling for a week with a problem and still can't solve the way I want.
Given four text fields in page : p1_name, p1_place_name, p1_place_number and p1_place_init_letter - where user types text and press 'Search' button to see the results.
p1_name finds results in table EMPLOYEES
p1_place_name, p1_place_number and p1_place_init_letter find results in table PLACES
the two tables are linked by id_place field
I would like reports to be shown depending on search results:
- if p1_name exists and (p1_place_name and p1_place_number and p1_place_init_letter) exist AND EMPLOYEES.id_place = PLACES.id_place then a single report shows only employee row
- if p1_name exists and (p1_place_name and p1_place_number and p1_place_init_letter) exist AND EMPLOYEES.id_place # PLACES.id_place then two reports showing 1) employees with name = :p1_name and 2) places with name, number and init_letter = :p1_.....
- if p1_name not exists and (p1_place_name and p1_place_number and p1_place_init_letter) exist then a message with 'NO EMPLOYEE' and report shows only places where name, number and init_letter = :p1_.....
- if p1_name exists and (p1_place_name and p1_place_number and p1_place_init_letter) not exist then report shows only employee row where name = :p1_name and message with 'NO PLACE'
- if p1_name not exists and (p1_place_name and p1_place_number and p1_place_init_letter) not exist then messages 'NO EMPLOYEE' and 'NO PLACE'
I do NOT know if it is possible, and if it is, then what do I have to use : IF - THEN - ELSE or CASE ?
I tried to build HTML report region conditionally shown for each situation, but they do not work the way I want.
Could you please help me ?
Thank you in advance !

Agree with Dan. Use a dedicated report region for a unique query. Use a rendering condition to determine if that reporting region must be rendered (i.e. whether or not that reporting query must be executed ).
The alternative is creating a function that constructs the SQL query dynamically, based on the user supplied values for page items. Use the function as the source for the reporting region, instead of a SQL statement. (this is similar to creating a ref cursor for a client, minus the actual step to create the ref cursor - instead the source SQL for that ref cursor is returned).
Also consider asking your Apex questions in the dedicated Apex forum on OTN.

Problem with if-then-else using BI Answers dataset

Hi, I'm having issues using the if-then-else logic with a BI Answers dataset. I'm running two versions of a report - one that access the SH schema tables directly, and one that uses a BI Answers dataset based on the SH schema.
My problem is with the if-then-else operator. It works fine against the relational tables when I use the following syntax:
<?xdofx:if CUST_GENDER = 'M' then 'Mr.' else 'Ms.' end if?>
However, when I go against a BI Answers report, the name of the field changes from CUST_GENDER to Customers._Cust_Gender_. If I make an exact find and replace on the if-then-else code, it doesn't work (nothing at all displays)
<?xdofx:if Customers._Cust_Gender_ = 'M' then 'Mr.' else 'Ms.' end if?>
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Scott

Is it possible that any of the fields have null values? If so, see my blog post about null handling in Crystal for more information: What is Null and Why is it Important for Crystal Reports | SAP BI BLOG

Implementing if then else condition

Hi! All
It would be very helpful if i can get answer of how to implement the condition below, using the functions available in graphical mapping editor....
I need to map 2 source fields to 1 Target field, based on the condition that field(source) is populated in the target field only if field 1 is null.
Source----->Target
part_id1----
>part_num(if part_id1 is null,then part_id2)
part_id2----
>
I tried using if then else function, it is working fine but errors out when part_id is null....need to make it work even when part_id1 or part_id2 is null.If both fields are null it should not populate anything.The boolean function is not accepting null inputs...
Please, let me know if there is a better way to implement this logic...Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Patrick

Jones,
Have this logic in your mapping:
part_id1>exists>and
part_id1>equals(textfunction)>null(take constant and dont put any value in it)>equals(text funciton)>false
Give the above two to if
Then in the then part give part_id1 and in the else part give part_id2.
So in the above if part_id1 exists and equals to null then part_id2 will be output and part_id1 exists and not equals to null then part_id1 will be the output and part_id1 doesnot exist then part_id2 will be the output.

If then else in update query

Hello,
I was hoping anyone could provide ideas on the best way to do an update query based on an if then else statement I am using Oracle 11 on a linux server. I am writing within a perl script. I've researched online and saw some examples using case. Below is the basic query logic I am trying to implement. I would really appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
JC
If the MAINT_CENTER IN ('ENOC1CENTER','PMCTGAAHSDC','ATTCSPCRT01','ATTCSPCWS01','NTNLWHS4NSA') AND CAC1=’S’ and substring(CKT_ID,4,2) IN ('KQ','KR','KS','KP','L1','L2','L3','VL') and askme_temp.CKT_ID = heci.CKT_ID then SUBPRODUCT =’IPAG’
ELSE If the MAINT_CENTER IN ('ENOC1CENTER','PMCTGAAHSDC','ATTCSPCRT01','ATTCSPCWS01','NTNLWHS4NSA') AND CAC1=’S’ and substring(CKT_ID,4,2) IN ('KQ','KR','KS','KP','L1','L2','L3','VL') AND REGION=’SE’ then SUBPRODUCT =’METRO_E’
ELSE If the MAINT_CENTER IN ('ENOC1CENTER','PMCTGAAHSDC','ATTCSPCRT01','ATTCSPCWS01','NTNLWHS4NSA') AND CAC1=’S’ and substring(CKT_ID,4,2) IN ('KQ','KR','KS','KP','L1','L2','L3','VL') then SUBPRODUCT =’OPT_E_MAN’

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
CASE sounds like a good idea to me.
For example:
UPDATE     table_x
SET     subproduct = CASE
               WHEN askme_temp.CKT_ID = heci.CKT_ID
                     THEN 'IPAG'
               WHEN region          = 'SE'
                     THEN 'METRO_E'
                     ELSE 'OPT_E_MAN'
               END
WHERE     maint_center     IN ( 'ENOC1CENTER'
                  , 'PMCTGAAHSDC'
                  , 'ATTCSPCRT01'
                  , 'ATTCSPCWS01'
                  , 'NTNLWHS4NSA'
AND   cac1                  = 'S'
AND   SUBST (ckt_id, 4, 2) IN ('KQ', 'KR', 'KS', 'KP', 'L1', 'L2', 'L3', 'VL')
AND   ...
;CASE expressions are evaluated in the order in which you write them, so if askme_temp.ckt_id = heci.ckt_id (whatever those things are), subproduct will be set to 'IPAG'. It won't matter whether region is 'METRO_E' or not; if the 1st condition is TRUE, the first THEN value is returned, and the other WHEN expressions aren't even evaluated.
What do you want to do if none of those conditions are met?
Any conditions that are common to all the rows being UPDATEd can be put in the WHERE clause; they don't have to be repeated in the CASE expression.
Remember, MERGE is often more convenient to use than UPDATE.

How to total 2 colums with an -If then else- statement each

Hello,
I have 2 colums A en B who generate data based on an “If then else” statement.

Colum B
<?xdofx:if (BM_YTD)!='' then ((BM_YTD) * (OMZET_YTD - OMZET_YTD_VJ)) div 100 else 0 end if?>
Colum C needs to be the sum of both. Who can help me?

How to use if-then-else-end if in template building?

hi,
I am not able to use the "if-then-else-end if" in my template. I want to display a data based on a condition. My requirement is as follows:
if bal_for_vd < 0 then
bal_for_vd * no_of_days
else 0
end if
I tried using
1.<?if: BAL_FOR_VD < 0 then BAL_FOR_VD*NO_OF_DAYS else 0 end if?>
2.<?xdofx:if BAL_FOR_VD < 0 then BAL_FOR_VD * NO_OF_DAYS end if?>
3.<?choose:?>
<?when:BAL_FOR_VD < 0?> <?BAL_FOR_VD * NO_OF_DAYS ?>
<?end when?>
<?otherwise?>0
<?end otherwise?>
<?end choose?>
4.<?if:BAL_FOR_VD < 0?><?BAL_FOR_VD*NO_OF_DAYS?><end if?>
but ended up getting errors or nothing is getting displayed.
When i used <?BAL_FOR_VD * NO_OF_DAYS ?> alone its working fine and correct getting result. But on giving condition its erring out.
I will be glad if i get some solution for this.
Regards,
Vishnu T Ramakrishnan

Hi..
Below syntax should work..I tried with a sample xml..
<?xdofx:if BAL_FOR_VD < 0 then BAL_FOR_VD * NO_OF_DAYS
else
0
end if?>HTH..

Problem in If-Then-Else formula in report

Hello guys!
I use an If-Then-Else statement in a Calculated Key Figure (Cf. <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/23/17f13a2f160f28e10000000a114084/content.htm">Conditional Calculations</a> ) and it works great with basic calculations.
I have a query (done in BI 7.0) where I display, for each calendar months (via 0CALMONTH), the usage (stored in a normal key figure in hours) of several products.
I need to take into account only the products that have been used for at least 60% of the time of the highest product for each month. I a single product, for a month, has been used less than 60% of the highest one, it should be considered as not being used at all (so the calculated usage would be = 0), otherwise, its usage is counted as normal.
In order to achieve this, I thought I would display the normal usage (the regular key figure) in column A, a calculated key figure that determines the MAXimum usage for each month in column B (which should be the same for all products) and another calculated key figure that displays the result of the If-Then-Else statement in column C.
In rows, I have 0CALMONTH and the products.
HOWEVER, when I do this, the result is incorrect. This is probably because to determine the MAX usage, I use a local calculation option, which displays the correct maximum usage on each row but it's not correct when used somewhere else.
MY QUESTION IS: HOW can I display the maximum usage for a month on all rows without using the calculation option (and therefore would be correctly used by the If-Then-Else statement. I tried an aggregation exception but it doesn't really work (it works only on the total, but I need to do the calculation on each individual row).
Any useful comment will be greatly appreciated 
Thanks in advance!

Hi Francal ,
Have you tried it . The constant selection will work if you have defined the calculated key figure correctly i.e. Aggreagtiomn "Max" with "product" as ref characteristic. Then you have to use this calculated key figure in your query , restrict it by "product" and make it a constant selection.
The calculated key figure it self will bring the highest usage for Month + product + ( any other characteristic you have in query ) but this will only apply to result . If you use constant seelction on top of it it will make sure that you see same value for all product for a particular month( and other characteristic combinations if you have ).
I have built similar queries and it works . By the way which versions of backend and frontend you have ??

Sanjay

Query if-then-else logic with calculation

Hello,
I want to calculate within a BEX-formula.
I have two key-figures:
- Quantity
- Value
The logic should be like this:
IF Value > 0 THEN Value / Quantity ELSE 0
( / means: divided)
How can I reach this?
The URL
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/de/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
does not help me.
Thanks for your help,

That is the way to perform if then else...
As long as boolean operations returns 0 or 1 you must play with that in order to get the desired result.
In case you have DIV problems you can use this operator:
NDIV0 (x): Is equal to 0 with division by 0, otherwise x.
NDIV(<Expression>)
Delivers 0 if the expression named in <Expression> gives a division by 0 in
the calculation. Otherwise, the result is the value of the expression.
Is used to
- Avoid the output of an error message
- Continue calculating with a defined result
Please give an example if I am missing something.

Java If/Then/Else Statement

Hello,
Just wondering if it is possible to call one java file from within another.
I'm thining wiht an if.then/else statement similar to
If x==true
then run file1.java
else run file2.java
any examples of this, or if it is even possible would be appreciated.

This is something like what I would do.
public class FileRunner {
    public static void main(String [] args) {
        if ( args[0].equals("file1") {
            File1 file1 = new File1();
            file1.init() //method you define in File1 that runs everything that would've been in the File1's main method
        } else if (args[0].equals("file2") {
            File2 file2 = new File2();
            file2.init() //method you define in file2 that runs everything that would've been in the File2's main method
        } else {
            System.err.println("Invalid argument");
            System.exit(1);
java.exe FileRunner.class file1
java.exe FileRunner.class file2The other method is to start a new jvm from within java, but that gives you less control than this imo.
