Precision of Variables Window

Hello,
I thought to remember that it is possible to set the number of digits that are displayed in the variable view. Right now, doubles show with five decimal places... where can I change this setting to show 'all' digits? Or has this feature gone with the new Variables Window in CVI2013?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

May be I wasn't clear enough...
Right now, there are three possibilities to see a variable value during debugging: as data tooltip or in variable view; the latter provides the option to display the value in floating point format or in scientific format. Floating point provides a precision of 5 digits, scientific format provides a precision of 6 digits, see the figures below.
Once in a while I need to see all digits - where can I set the precision of the displayed variables? I knew how to accomplish it prior to CVI2013...
Thanks.
In this test case, p has been defined as 0.31830988618379067153776752675.

What is the difference between Constant Window, Variable Window,Main Window

hello all
what is the difference between 1) Constant Window
2) Variable Window
3) Main Window in SAP SCRIPT

Hi,
Window Types
When defining a form window, you must select a window type for the window.
You can choose between three types:
Constant Windows (CONST)
Variable Windows (VAR)
Main Windows (MAIN)
Constant Windows (CONST)
Starting with Release 4.0, the system internally processes windows of type CONST similar to windows of type VAR.
Therefore, if you create a new window, always use type VAR.
Variable Windows (VAR)
The contents of variable windows is processed again for each page, on which the window appears.
The system outputs only as much text as fits into the window. Text exceeding the window size is truncated;
the system does not trigger a page break. Unlike constant windows, the page windows declared as variable windows may have different sizes on different form pages.
As far as the processing of the window contents is concerned, the system currently treats constant and variable windows alike.
The only difference is that constant windows have the same size throughout the form.
Main Windows (MAIN)
Each form must have one window of type MAIN. Such a window is called the main window of the form.
For SAPscript forms, the main window has a central meaning:
It controls the page break.
It contains the text body that may cover several pages.
It allows to fix text elements at the upper and lower margins of the allocated page window (for example, for column headings).
As soon as a window of type MAIN is full, SAPscript automatically triggers a page break and continues to
output the remaining text in the main window of the subsequent page. Page windows of type MAIN have the same width throughout the form.
The SAPscript composer thus avoids reformatting of the text after each page break.
If a page does not have a main window, the system implicitly processes all other windows of the page and continues with the subsequent page.
This page must not call itself as subsequent page (recursive call), since this would produce an endless loop.
In such a case, SAPscript terminates the output after three subsequent pages.
For printing header lines or totals, the different output areas of the main window are of special importance.

CRM Smartform - standard text in variable window

Hi ,
I have a requirement in CRM Technical. In a variable window, there is an include text used to print the long text . The issue is that it is printing only few lines and not all the lines it should have printed as maintained in the database text.
All the text maintained needs to be printed. If the text do not fit in the space allowed ,then the entire text needs to be printed on separate page.
Is it possible? and how?

Hi,
If you use varibale vindow(secondary) then if the data exceed size of window data will get truncated.
USe main window ,now include text within main window,for main window if data size is more than main window automatic triggering will take place and data will print in next page
Thank and regards

Web Report - Variable window question

Hi Experts,
I am using the same web-template for a lot of reports. But when I switch between the query views for some of the reports, the variable window is popping up...and for some it isin't.Why is this happening? Should I be changing some prperties in the underlying Bex queries.I am on BI 7.0.
Thanks
Arvind

hello,
we need to go to Query properties -> interaction tab-> remove reuse variables to populate the variable screen everytime or "Save and reuse variable values" to supress variable window
or
Problem could be due to any personalisation.try this:
One the query is executed, click on the button which says change variable values.
In the variable pop-up screen which comes up click on the personalization button
In the new screen which comes up click on reset personalization button
Enter new variable values and execute the query.
Reg,

What exactly is the diff between main window and variable window

what exactly is the diff between main window and variable window in SAP script?

hi,
MAIN WINDOW :- In a main window you display text and data, which can cover several pages (flow text). As soon as a main window is completely filled with text and data, the system continues displaying the text in the main window of the next page. It automatically triggers the page break.
You can define only have one window in a form as main window.
The main window must have the same width on each page, but can differ in height.
A page without main window must not call itself as next page, since this would trigger an endless loop. In such a case, the system automatically terminates after three pages.
VARIABLE WINDOW :- The contents of variable windows is processed again for each page, on which the window appears. The system outputs only as much text as fits into the window. Text exceeding the window size is truncated; the system does not trigger a page break. Unlike constant windows, the page windows declared as variable windows may have different sizes on different form pages.
As far as the processing of the window contents is concerned, the system currently treats constant and variable windows alike. The only difference is that constant windows have the same size throughout the form.
hope this will be useful.
If useful then reward points.

Syed

Variables Window will not open

Anyone ever encountered this?
One of my collegues cannot open his Captivate 5 Variables window. When he tries, Captivate simply freezes. Same thing happens whether accessing from the Captivate menu or from within the Advanced Actions window.
Steve

Spooky.
He also has Captivate 6 trial installed.
He just
opened CP 6, and opened the Variables window.
Closed it
Closed CP6
Opened CP5
Opened the variables window successfully
How odd. Hopefully this helps someone else :-)

SCRIPT LOOP IN VARIABLE WINDOW

HI
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE MULTIPLE LINES ITEMS IN VARIABLE WINDOW IN SCRIPT.
THANX IN ADV
MANOJ

A variable window can have different contents on different pages. in the printprogram you arrange this.
The possible with looping lines like in the main window isnot in a VAR window (i think).
However you can put several lines in your VAR window and fill this directly in your printprogramm.
It works otherwise but functional it is the same. You only have a maximum lines in your window but
that is with all windows except the MAIN.
hope you can do something with this.

SSIS Variable Window is Hidden

hi,
When designing SSIS package I can't seem to display "Variables" window. Right clicking on the design surface and choosing "Variables" has no effect. Also when I go to View -> Other Windows,
clicking on "Variables" - has no effect too. It must be some envinronmental settings, I guess.
Any Idea?

Hi,
This is the solution I provided for someone else and it worked for them (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlintegrationservices/thread/47bdf8e8-004c-44bb-bd1f-ed05be76c6cf).
Select Import and Export Settings from the Tools menu.
Select the Reset all Settings option and click on next
Select the No option and click on next
Select Business Intelligence Studio and click on Finish
Now see if the variables windows displays when you select it in the SSIS menu.

CVI 9.1.0 crashes when looking at variables window

I get the following crash when I have my program at a breakpoint and I pop open the variables windows and try to scroll down to see my globals:
EventType : BEX     P1 : cvi.exe     P2 : 9.1.0.427     P3 : 4afcd035
P4 : cvi.dll     P5 : 9.1.0.427     P6 : 4afcdb5b     P7 : 009d730e
P8 : c0000409     P9 : 00000000
Can anyone help with this?

I am getting the exact same crash every time all of a sudden. It seems to occur now that I've created a viSession variable and viFindlist variable..
My main looks like:
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
int error = 0,j;
static short addrList[31];
static short listList[31];
static int portList[255];
int nPorts,index;
char port_name[7];
ViSession resourceManager;
ViFindList findList;
char desc[256];
int numDevices;
/* initialize and load resources */
nullChk (InitCVIRTE (0, argv, 0));
errChk (instHandle = LoadPanel (0, "Test Application Generator.uir", INST_SETUP));
/* display the panel and run the user interface */
errChk (DisplayPanel (instHandle));
/*for (j=0;j<31;j++) {
addrList[j] = j;
addrList[30] = -1;
SendIFC(0);
FindLstn(0,addrList,listList,30);
//Get list of available COM ports
nPorts = LocateCom("",portList,255);
for (index = 0; index < nPorts; index++) {
sprintf(port_name,"COM%d",portList[index]);
InsertListItem(instHandle,INST_SETUP_PORT_TYPE,-1,port_name,index); //Add to list
index = viOpenDefaultRM(&resourceManager);
viFindRsrc (resourceManager, "?*INSTR", &findList, &numDevices, desc);
errChk (RunUserInterface ());
Error:
viClose(resourceManager);
/* clean up */
DiscardPanel (instHandle);
//DiscardPanel (mainPanel);
return 0;
And I have a break on the viOpenDefaultRM function so it hasn't been ran. And my variable looks fine except the variable resourceManager is blank.

Closing variable window restores IDE window

Hello,
in my opinion the following scenario could be improved:
During debugging of a program I open the variable window; after the program finishes, the IDE (integrated view) is the topmost window of my screen (secondary aspect: why? During debugging the variable window was on top of it...). I minimize the IDE with its _ panel button just to find out that the variable window though empty is still there (another secondary aspect: interestingly only the overall variable window, while the individual variable view has disappeared). So I close the variable window using its X panel button. Now, surprisingly, the minimized IDE shows up again and again has to be minimized. I feel that this should be fixed
Thanks.

This is akward, I either misunderstood or ir works for me.
As you are talking about Z plan, I assume you released the variable window. I also added the "Hide window while running option" and added a breakpoint in a callback. here is what happened on my computer:
* I compile and start the program, the IDE "disappears" and my topmost window is my GUI.
* I click the button related with the callback containing my breakpoint. The topmost window becomes the IDE
* I open the Variable window (Window -> Variables...). The topmost window becomes the Variable Window
* I run my program further using F5 or "Run -> Continue". The topmost window becomes my GUI and the Variable and IDE Windows becomes invisible.
* I quit my GUI (CALLBACK containing QuitUserInterface(0)). The GUI disappears, my topmost window is the ampty Variable Window and my second window is my IDE, as expected. This seem to behave correctly on my computer.
Now the second case where the variable windows is already open is slightly different: After the breakpoint, the IDE becomes the topmost windows (which is logical, this is where the breakpoint happen) and if i bring the variable windows to the foreground, after quitting the program, the empty window remains on the foreground.
Beside, I have an additional question: which advantage does the variable window brings as released window? It seem to me that it could be easier to have it confined in the IDE as the IDE will always be brought in the foreground when hitting a breakpoint.
Thanks for the infos

Show description by default in SSIS Variables window

Hello,
by clicking on "Grid Options" in the Variables window in SSIS it is possible to show the column "description".
After closing and reopening Visual Studio the column is gone and you have to add it again.
There seems to be no way of saving this setting, even in the newest version of SSIS designer in Visual Studio 2013.
Is there any way to save this?
Thanks

FM9: Any way to auto-close the insert-variable window?

Is there any way to have the FM9 variable window automatically close after one selects a variable using the Enter key? I'm finding it cumbersome after calling it up via key commands to have to pick up the mouse and click somewhere just to close the window, or "fly" back into the side panel.

after youve called the contact and it opens with their name again just tap cancel on top right of screen and it puts you back to the first person in your contacts list.
its the only way ive found out how to close the cotacts name.

Problem in looping data in variable window

Hi All,
I am using loop at and i am displaying data in VAR window. But every time it loops it over writing the data in VAR window and finally its printing only the last record in the loop. Can we loop all the data in the VAR window just like what we do in general for MAIN window.

Just try to use Text element and give the values to be printed under text element, in print program in pass the WRITE_FORM with text element in loop and Endloop.
I think we can not use Variable window to print records from an internal table, suppose if the data in first page is full in variable window, and if u use same variable window in second page, it starts printing from 1st record in second page also.

Difference between Constant and Variable window

Hi all,
What is the difference between Constant window and Variable window.I am not observing difference between them.I created two pages(page1 and page2) with 3 WINDOWS(Main,const11 and var11) and I inserted 8 lines of text on each window.But all the 3 windows are capable of holding 4 lines of text only.I included all those above 3 windows in both pages(Page1 and Page2).In page attributes for Page1,I included 'Page2' for next page and for page2 I included 'page2' for next page.
when I executed the form.I am getting constant texts in windows Const11 and Var11 for all output pages.I got 4 pages as output.
But what I learnt is constant windows contains constant text in all form pages and Variable windows contains variable contents in all form pages, in which they appear.But to my surprise variable window also contains constant text like constant window.That means the texts on both constant and varilable are same on all ouput pages( 4 pages of output).
Rgds,
Balaji

hi,
Contents in Variable window are regenerated for each and every page hwere as contents in Constant window are generated only once and same is displayed for every page.
SAPscript does not distinguish between the two window types, although both types are mentioned in the SAPscript documentation.
This means that, for better performance, windows that contain different information on different pages must be VAR; all others are CONST. The content of the window is defined in the SAPscript editor.

Sailaja.
