Populating text variable of type Customer Exit dynamically

Hi,
I have a report with 3 columns as following.
"Current period", "Previous period" and "Previous period - 1".
The text variable name is "ZQTR_TXT".
My input variable name is "ZALLOC_PRD".
If I enter 200709 as input, I want to see column headings as
2007Q3 2007Q2 2007Q1.
but I am getting 2007Q3 for all 3 columns though I use variable offset to -1 and -2 for other columns.
Could you please throw some light here as I got stuck with this issue quite a long time? I am using BI 7.0 Query Designer.
Thanks in advance,
Hanuma

There is another variable "ZCUST_QTD" where "ZQTD_TXT" variable is restricted by offsets.
Input variable is "ZALLOC_PRD" ex: 200709
I have written Customer exit for the following.
when 'ZCUST_QTD'.
ZCUST_QTD will be low 200707 high 200709.
when 'ZQTD_TXT'.
"ZQTD_TXT" is 2007Q3.
But I want "ZQTD_TXT" to be dynamic and different for 3 columns.
Thanks for your reply.
Thanks,
Hanuma

How to display text variable of type customer exit

Hi to all,
I have created a query in query designer which display sales value according to plant.
There i have also used a variable which will take input from user and restricted on 0CALDAY.
I have also created 2 text variable to display the text for sales based on input in variable.
I need when user enter the 01.02.2010 - 31.12.2010 value in variable , text variable should display SALES FROM 01.02.2010 TO 31.12.2010
i knew how to do that by using text variable of processing type customer exit.
But display of text variable is like SALES FROM 01022010 TO 31122010 ,
But i need that SALES 01.02.2010 TO 31.12.2010
i shall be thankfull to you for this.

Hi,
Give Description on Sales Amount as SALES FROM &ZVAR_YEAR1& TO &ZVAR_YEAR2&.
ZVAR_YEAR1 & ZVAR_YEAR2 are the two text variables. These two variables should NOT be input enabled.
In the Exit - under I_STEP = 2, write the below code.
WHEN 'ZVAR_YEAR1'.
DATA:   l_s_range       TYPE rs_s_range,
               loc_var_range TYPE rrs0_s_var_range.
READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range WITH KEY vnam = 'ZVAR_INPUT_CALDAY'.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
l_s_range-low = loc_var_range-low.
APPEND l_s_range to e_t_range.
WHEN 'ZVAR_YEAR2'.
DATA:   l_s_range       TYPE rs_s_range,
               loc_var_range TYPE rrs0_s_var_range.
READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range WITH KEY vnam = 'ZVAR_INPUT_CALDAY'.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
l_s_range-low = loc_var_range-high.
APPEND l_s_range to e_t_range.

Text Variable replace with Customer Exit Variable

Dear Experts,
I created a text variable based on replacementh path (instead of customer exit). The reference characteristic is same that as my customer exit Variable and replace it by Key.
I want to replace it with already Existing Customer Exit Variable but it is not displaying in the List Box even though existing variable option is mandatory.
Can any one Suggest me the answer for this.
Regards
Supraja.K

I do not think you can select Customer Exit variable, if you see the type is selected to Char Value Variables and it is not editable.
It would be suggested to go for Customer Exit procesing type for your text variable.

Neel.

Text Variables processing as Customer Exit

I have posted a similar problem but didnt get any response. Would appreciate if i get some kind of advice in this. I need to display header as Jan FY2007, Feb FY2007 and so on in my report. I want to use same text variable inorder to acheive this as i have a big number of colums displaying fiscal periods for all nearly 4-5 fiscal years. Replacement path doesnt apply as the"Label" option returns the short text. So i guess i need to write a customer exit inorder to fetch the medium text description from 0FISPER table. I need some kind of help with ABAP code.
Points will be awarded for any kind of helpful solution.

Thanks Anil. Yes i am using BI 7.0 I thought of doing that. But as of now the BEx settings for 0FISCPER is Key and still it picks the Short text when i choose the replacament path with Label option. Do you still think if i change the Bex settings as Medium text it should solve the issue? And also please clarify after changing to Medium text do i still need to opt for Label replacement option to achieve my requirement?
I will try to figure that out and will definitely assign points for your fruitful advice.
Thanks.

Node variable in query - Processing type customer exit?

We are on NW 2004S. I created a hierarchy for an info-object along with several nodes and child nodes.
I also created a node variable in a query for this info-object. I have the following questions with regards to using node variables in a query.
1) Can I use a node variable with processing type 'Customer Exit". My objective is to set the value of the node variable in the user exit.
2) If answer to first question is "Yes", how would I code the node value in the user-exit - Example code or some pointers to that effect.
I really appreciate your thoughts on this issue.
Thanks,
Sanjay

Hi Sanjay,
As far as I'm aware this hasn't changed in NW2004s, (in any case it still works), so:
1)Yes you can, no difference with other type variables.
2)In userexit EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001 (include ZXRSRU01).
There's different options depending on at which stage you want to change it:

If you do a forum search on above technical names I think you'll find plenty of coding samples, but if you want something more specific, I'd be happy to help you out.

Formula variable type customer exit

Hi all,
Can you explain me how link variable formula processing type customer exit to an infoobject?
Can you give an example of the exit?
Thanks
Gianmarco

Hi Gianmarco,
Here's an example of some CMOD code that converts yesterday's date to the factory date - in this case it refers to Factory Calendar Z1. You'll have to create a formula variable (in this case the technical name of the formula variable is ZVFCYEST) to call the code. I'm not much of an ABAPer so it might not be the most efficient code in the world, but at least it works.....
WHEN 'ZVFCYEST'.
IF i_step = 1. " BEFORE THE POPUP
z_today = sy-datum.
z_yesterday = z_today - 1.
CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_CONVERT_TO_FACTORYDATE'
EXPORTING
correct_option = '-'
date = z_yesterday
factory_calendar_id = 'Z1'
IMPORTING
factorydate = z_yestfact.
CLEAR l_s_range.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
l_s_range-low = z_yestfact.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
ENDIF.
Hope this helps,
Janet

Query variable type Customer Exit problem

Hi All,
I need to set a Profit Center variable value by Customer Exit. My Exit has to results a Profit Center Hierarachy NODE value. The problem is that the Query handles my return value as a single Profit Center (10 char long) but my Profit Center Nodes are longer than 10 characters and they are truncated to 10 chars. Therefore I get an error message, namely 'XYZ... PC is not exists in PC Hierarchy ABC...'
How can I set that the Query or the code to get my result value not as a Profit Center but a Profit Center Hierarchy NODE?
Thanks in Advance,
Dezso

Hello,
Yes, I have set the right Hierarchy. If I change the PC variable to 'Characteristic variable' and set it on the selection screen everything is OK so the Hierarchy is good.
Thanks,
Dezso

Include character value variable processed by customer exit in the report

I have defined a character value variable' processed by 'customer exit'. i am troubleshooting a problem so I need to see the value of this variable. Is there a way to display this variable in the report. If so, what section, rows or columns? And how to configure?
Thanks,
Sharon

Hi,
You can add directly the variable, in BEx Analyzer 7.0 you can add variables in the Excel Cell that you would.
Steps:
- Select the Excel Cell
- In the BEx Design Toolbox, select Insert text
- When you are in Design Mode - click over the text element
- Go to Constants tab and select the Custom Exit Variable
- Save the workwook

Calculating with formula variables of type user exit

I created the following query:
Rows: Characteristic = Employee
Column: KYF = Status
Filter: Year, Month
The KYF ist a formula containing a formula variable. This variable of type user exit should return a value recording to the value of employee and has to be read in a customizing (data-) table by the user exit.
Is it possible to read the values of employee row by row from the internal table which contains the amount of data before processing to output screen and fill the 'Status'-KYF or should I create a virtual keyfigure for this case.
Thanks for all your feedback,
Angelika

Hi,
It seems like Status is master data of Employee.
As per your process, if you do either formula variable or virtual keyfigure you will face query performance problem. More over you cant simply access record by record characteristic value in formula variable. It will be another complex process like you have to call the characteristic value via replacement path.
You have the following choices:
You mentioned master data is availabe in custom table. Try to pull the custom table master data into employee info object. Maintain status as one of the attribute of the master data. Then you can display Status value simply in the report. This will be global access like you use this Status value n number of info providers which is having Employee as one of the info object in the info provider.
If the previous way is not possible, include the Status in the info provider level and write a simple update routine to populate the values. This will be info provider level.
I am not sure whether you are in development environment or productive. If developement, then you can choose simply any one of the above ways.

Vivek

BEx Variable I_Step 2, Custom Exit, IF Condition fail for "var ready Inp"

Hi all,
could someone please help with the following issue.
Variable definition is as followed.
processing type = Customer Exit
in the Details Tab I chose "Multiple Singles"
and variable as "Optional"
and "Variable is ready for Input".
objective is, once the user enter fiscperiod like 004.2011, in the customer exit, using my own logic I would need to derive some set of periods and send back to query.
In code, I am doing a check of I_STEP =2, then do the loop on the i_t_var_range, then capture the "LOW" value, then use my own logic to derive my own fiscperiods, then append the e_t_range, then Endif.
when I debug, control is going to IF condition, but I see that I_step contained "1" not 2 as expected, that's where the condition is failing, and control is skipping the whole block of the code inside the If condition.
this is giving me an impression that, the definition of the variable has some problem.
Any Insights are greatly appreciated.

I guess you need to use 2 variable.
Var1 will store the value of user entered fiscal year period and then. this is normal Variable and is ready for Input".
Var2 to will read that value of Var1 -
then you write your logic -
to populate Var2 correctly.
And use Var2 in your query.
Note : Var2 is not ready for input, and its exit variable

Variable Offset for Customer Exit??

Hi,
is it possible to have a variable offset for customer exit time variables?
E.g. I have a variable current month but can I also create a one-year offset of that?
In our system that doesn't work (but also the current month variable doesn't work...)
thanks
Sabine

Hi,
As it is mentioned by Mr.Voodi,it definately works.
You only has given the answer for your problem .i.e you need to make sure the Customer exit variable is working proper.So take a look on the code used for it.

Variable of type user exit

Hi all,
I have a variable of type user exit which is used to let the user enter a characteristic value in a popup-box.
I am able to display the box and let the user enter a value, but then I'm stuck. Where does this value go?? How can I make sure that this value actually is used in the variable??
I am attaching my current code cause I feel like something is missing with regards to exporting the correct value.
Thanks and regards,

Hi,
From the code you have written, I observe that after capturing the value in the pop-up, you are not passing the value back to the variable table.
What I would suggest is, pass the variable value to the upc_var_cha_act table explicitly. This might resolve the problem.

Code help for formula variable with processing type customer exit

Hi Gurus,
I need help in user exit code. I am calculating a formula variable ( demand variability) in the user exit for a range of values given in the selection screen ( i.e processing based on the values given I_STEP = 2).
i am able to populate the E_T_RANGE table but the output is sending a single value output.
Expected Output
Plant ( sel screen Input) I Material ( Sel screen Input) I Demand Var(calculated O/P)
1800   I 12345 I   0.609
1700 I   21355 I   1.234
Actual Result
Plant ( sel screen Input) I Material ( Sel screen Input) I Demand Var(calculated O/P)
1800   I 12345 I   0.609
1700 I   21355 I   0.609(WRONG )
Here you can see that its sending the same values for all the plant and material combination.
I found in debugging that it populates 2 values into E_T_RANGE table in loop. But it is giving out only one value to all.
I tried to refresh and clear that but its giving the same output. Can we use E_T_RANGE in loop to give out range of values?. how to out put this throught user exit?
did anyone face this kind of issue and solved it?. Help is needed urgently. any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.
Regards
satish.

Hi Oliver,
Thanks for the reply. Dont get confused here please. It was an example . For example
I give one plant as input and 2 materials as input .
You see the sample code :
WHEN 'ZPRDEMVA'. ( formula variable name)
    IF i_step = 2.
      LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
              WHERE VNAM = 'ZPRPLTSV'. ( plant variable input)
      CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
        v_werks          = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW.
      LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
              WHERE VNAM = 'ZPRMATSV'.
      CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
        v_matnr          = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW.
CALCULATES THE FORMULA VARIABLE (DEMAND VARIABILITY)
WE TAKE DATA FROM ANOTHER ODS AND DOES CALCULATION.
      l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
      l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
      l_s_range-low = sum2.
DOES ALL CALCULATIONS PERFECTLY AND SINCE THERE ARE 2 MATERIALS AS INPUT, PUTS 2 VALUES IN E_T_RANGE. BUT IN THE OUPUT IT DUPLICATES SAME VALUE TO 2 RECORDS AS I POSTED IN THE FIRST
      Append l_s_range to E_T_RANGE.
      ENDLOOP.
      ENDLOOP.
    ENDIF.

Using a dummy variable in a customer exit

I currently have a report that uses 0calmonth = Current Month (SAP Exit)
Now, this works fine when running for the month, but if a user wants to see the last completed month I'd need to setup a separate report that says
0calmonth = last month.
These reports are broadcasted automatically by e-mail, this is why I don't want to specify the actual requested month n the variable, I'd need to change my settings all the time.
I have a whole bunch of reports setup that way and I don't want to duplicate them all, what I had in mind was to use a dummy variable in which the user enters a value CMTD or LMTD. These values would then be used in a customer exit of the kind:
IF CMTD set as current month
else if LMTD set as last month
I have no problem with that last part, but how do I create that dummy variable and is there anyway (without adding an infoobject in my cube) to have it include in the F4 menu the two option CMTD and LMTD (which are really meaningless abbreviations...)
Thanks all for your help.
Eric

OK, this was actually easy, I used a text variable to feed in CMTD or LMTD. Any way to have the two values available as options? Text variables don't provide a selection box...
