Popup variable in BEX

Hi All
I need to code a customer exit, when i enter a value in a variable on the selection screen of the bex analyser it should pop up a message, i did the following code in step-2, could any one let me know if there's a function module that i could use.
WHEN 'ZMAT_XIT'.
DATA ZMAT LIKE /BI0/PMATL_GROUP-MATL_GROUP.
DATA WA_MGRP TYPE RRS0_S_VAR_RANGE.
LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO WA_MGRP WHERE VNAM EQ 'ZMAT_XIT'.
ZMAT = WA_MGRP-LOW.
EXIT.
ENDLOOP.
IF ZMAT = 'xxxxxxxxxx'.
MESSAGE E000(ZMSG).
ENDIF.
L_S_RANGE-LOW = ZMAT.

Vardhan

Sounds front end related, are all your Front end patches (FEP) upto date. Might be worth downloading FEP 11.

How to create Text Variables in BEx Query Designer

How can i create Text Variables in Bex Q.D.
I am able to create characteristic variables
but i can't find option to create text variables.
What's the requirement to create Text variables in Bex Q.D.
When i try to create Text variable for 0calDay.. the variable type is characteristic by Default and disabled.
How can i create text variables related to 0CalDay with which i need to work in Customer Exit.

Hi,
You have to create characteristic variable processing by Customer Exit by considering 0CalDay as a Reference Characteristic
After creation of the above variable, you restrict your KF with the above created variable.
Now you can create a Text variable for the description of your KF. This way it works...........

Calendar prompt for Date variable from bex

Hi All,
I have a Bex query where I have a variable on 0CALDAY
- Customer exit (i_step = 1 to populate with current date)
- Single value
- Mandatory
I created universe on this query and in webI selection screen i do see the variable prompt.
I am not able to see the current date populated automatically since exit values are not populated to WebI at runtime.
My problem is that in WebI selection screen we get list of date values from the info provider instead of Calendar prompt
where user can enter the values directly.
I am currently on BO XI 3.1 SP3.
Is there any specific setting in Universe or bex query which is required to get this Calendar prompt instead of list of values for dates?
Note: When we were on SP1 the universe created then had same variable from bex and it still shows us Calendar prompt but ever since we upgraded to SP3 for the query splitter functionality we not able to get the calendar prompt for date variable in new universe we create
Thanks
Ritesh

Yep.
Now tell me how you want to show that Prompt @ WebI report level.
My problem is that in WebI selection screen we get list of date values from the info provider instead of Calendar prompt
where user can enter the values directly. Exactly, i didn't get this??
@Prompt:
You have flexibility to show options like:
Mono/Multi: User can select Single value or Multiple.
BW Variable: Same we have (Single/Multiple)
Free/Constrained: User can Enter his/her value directly or No change option.
BW Variable: By defalut you will get this, once you made it to Optional input.
Persistent/Not_Persistent: Refreshed report has to show last selected value means use Persistent otherwise Not_P.
By seeing the Prompt syntax , I can say your Variable is after Customer Exit, Correct??
Workaround for your Problem is:
<FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A','Date\LovDate (Previous Day)Base',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
You have to remove that Date class and objects from prompt syntax. Because of that it showing up LOV's not calendar.
Like:
<FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A',',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
Why, It should be blank??
Because Date needs no class\object to show up, by default you will get Calendar on the fly.
Hope you got my point.
Thank You!!

'Text' of a variable in Bex selection screen

Hello,
We have a customer exit variable in Bex Query selection.it is mandatory,ready for input,interval which is on 0CALMONTH2.
In Bex selection screen i am not getting text of default/entered months.
for example: if default value is 2 to 4,then text would be FEB to APR.
what could be the reason?how to get teaxts of entered values?
(we have one more customer exit variable on 0CALMONTH2 which is single value and it shows text of enterd values in bex selection)
In web it is working fine.
Rakesh

Hi,
Try to create an another customer exit variable for 0CALMONTH2 with mandatory,ready for input,interval. refer the abap code of the another customer exit variable(single value variable) of 0CALMONTH2 which you have mentioned in the bracket and modify the abap code based on the selection - interval. hope it helps.

Is it possible to create a variable in bex with the last work day?

Hi Gurus
Is it possible to create a variable in bex with the last work day?
Actually end-user every day open queries,
    - Put in selection date day - 1 or
    - put last Friday if the day is Monday or
    - put last Thursday if the day is Monday and Friday is holiday (in a calendar for example 25 the December).
Please do the needful. It is urgent
Thanks in advance
Raj

Try this logic in a customer exit:
DATA: l_s_range TYPE rsr_s_rangesid.
DATA: X_PERIOD LIKE T009B-POPER,
           X_YEAR   LIKE T009B-BDATJ.
CASE I_VNAM.
WHEN 'ZPREVWORKDAY'.
    DATA: l_DayOfWeek(1) TYPE C,
          l_act_date     TYPE d,
          l_prev_date    TYPE d.
    l_act_date = sy-datum.
    CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_COMPUTE_DAY'
         EXPORTING DATE = l_act_date
         IMPORTING DAY = l_DayOfWeek.
    CASE l_DayOfWeek.
      WHEN '1'.
        l_prev_date = l_act_date - 3.
      WHEN '2'.
        l_prev_date = l_act_date - 1.
      WHEN '3'.
        l_prev_date = l_act_date - 1.
      WHEN '4'.
        l_prev_date = l_act_date - 1.
      WHEN '5'.
        l_prev_date = l_act_date - 1.
      WHEN '6'.
        l_prev_date = l_act_date - 1.
      WHEN '7'.
        l_prev_date = l_act_date - 2.
    ENDCASE.
    l_s_range-low = l_prev_date.
    APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
ENDCASE.

How to edit the properties for existing variables in BEX query, so that I can get multiple input selections

Dear fellow developers,
I'm trying to edit an existing variable using BEX query, so that it can allow multiple input selections.
As you can see in the screenshot attached, the option is selectable during creation.
However, during editing of an existing field, this field (Details -> Basic Settings -> Variable Represents) is not selectable.
Does anyone knows why, and how to remedy this?

Yes you can do it at the table level.
Go to SE11 enter table name as RSZGLOBV.
Enter the technical name of variable in VNAM field..You need to change the value in VPARSEL column.
Please make sure to get the where used list of this variable so that you can know the impact,if something goes wrong.
Also change it in DEV and then transport across the landscape.
PS:Same thing has been described in this blog as well
Changing BI variable parameters

Rectrict list of possible values for variable in Bex

Hello folks!
I need to give a user possibility to choose only few value for variable in Bex report. Number of entries in master data is huge. I need to show only 7 possible values in the window with variables.

Amy,
You have a tricky requirement but I can only think of one thing but it would require user training. Try the following.
You can setup a new variable with default values and define it as type multiple single values.
The user could in the variable screen would then need to take out the ones that are not needed.
Hope this helps.

Variables in Bex and BO

Hi Experts,
I am using Business Objects 4.0 SP2 with SAP BEX.
I am not using universe. Webi directly connect to Bex.
I have a characteristic variable in Bex processed by authorization.
The variable is working fine in BO. But i dont want that variable to prompt for values in BO. User need not select values.
I want the filter value to get added to Bex query/MDX query without prompting in BO.
Please let me know how can i do it? I am new to Bex - BO reports. What happens if i uncheck the input ready option for that variable in Bex?
Regards,
Jacob
