Problem in Variable screen selection

Hello Expert,
I am facing problem in the variable screen of Bex Query.
There is a variable created for 0FISCPER info object which populates data through customer exit. When i execute the query and "check" i get the following output
here we can see that corresponding month is displayed for the fiscal year variable
I have another query which uses the same variable but get the following output
here we can see that the month descripton is not displayed in the second query. Could you please help in resolving the issue
Regards
Vilas Kamath

Hi Vilas,
Purpose of the customer exit code is to extract the value only, it has no relation with the text of it. The description comes from the info object text data.
I noticed a small difference - "Fiscal Fear/Period" and "Fiscal year / period", normally info object have their decription in the query like defined in BW unless it has been changed specifically. If the both variables are on different info object related to month/period. If yes, then please check the text values of corresponding months in the info objects.

Reg. Variable screen while loading bookmark

HI Friends,
We are working with WAD in SAP BI 7.01 ( With SAPKW70105 patch).
We are having some issue with variable screen display while loading bookamark.
Actually user wanted to show the Variable screen while running report, So we explicity switched on the "Display Variable" in web template
Even we have the option called "While loading Bookmark" in webtemplate.
We have given the option as HIDE for "while loading bookmark. This option is working fine, if the report doesnt have the mandatory fields in the selection screen. At that time if we create bookmark and click on created bookmark means.. it will show us the report without showing the variable screen (Selection screen).
But if the report is having mandatory fields in the selection screen and if we create the bookmark, click on the same.. it will prompt the selection screen (which we dont want to ).
So can anyone please help on this.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravish

Problem with Variable Entry Screen

Hello All,
We upgraded our development systems to NW2004s and came across the following issue:
All our Bex queries have restricted time characteristics with variables entries. When we execute a query it should pop-up the variable selection screen for us to enter the restriction values but the query is ignoring Variable restriction screen and taking into consideration everything. The same query works fine in Prod., which is still in 3.1.
Did anyone come across this situation kind of situation? It did not pop-up any type of error and we are in SPS10
Thanks in Advance,

Variable selection in WEB wrongly transferred to initial variable screen

Dear all,
I am currently working for a company in the Netherlands where they use a lot of reports in the web.
Till one month ago, selecting a period from the list in the WEB didn't gave any problems.
However, at this moment while selecting a random period, the period is not correcly taken from the variable selection list (see: http://members.home.nl/repoortman/variable.jpg)
Example:
selecting reporting period 001.2006 via the selection screen
it is 'transferred/copied' to the initial variable selection screen as '001 06' while I expect as it should be '001.2006'.
The work around is to enter the period and year manually, but this is not a recommended action from user perspective.
Perhaps a coincidence, but this error is applicable since the last service pack upgrade: SAP BW 3.5, SP22, SAPKW35022.
How is this possible and how can I solve it (perhaps a setting in BW or a table?)
any help is more than welcome!
thanks in advance.
R.E. Poortman

in WAD in the template properties you can set the parameter Force Variable screen
the same can also be pass as a URL parameter
VARIABLE_SCREE=X
this will make the variable screen to comeup irrespective of whether the variable is mandatory or not.
Hope this helps.

RRI Problem : Variable Screen Popup while Jumping to Target Query

While jumping from Source to Target query (both are BEx queries), Variable Entry Screen of the Source is popping Up again during Jump, which after pressing Execute (F8) without entering any values, displaying Target Query results correctly. My Target query is having one and only variable on Inv Doc Num of type Replacement Path and I am not supposed to get any variable Screen Popup during Jump. How can I suppress this reappearance of Variable Screen??. I have tried with Delete Options etc in RSBBS Assignment rules and searched for OSS Notes but not succeeded so far. I am on BW3.50 SP20. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi Jr,
I am not having the same variables in the Target at all. In fact the characteristics for which variable screen appears in the source are not there in target. I mean Posting Date, Billing Month...Etc are not ther in the Traget. In the Source Query Rows, I have Inv. Doc No as one of the Characteristics.No variable is defined for Inv Doc Num in the Source Query.
I am not getting your question"From which cell..??". If I select any perticular Cell in the Inv Doc Result Rows of the Source Output, During Jump it will return only the details of that particular invoice only? Is itn't?. But I want details of all those invoices, that appesrs in the Source Output. That is why, I am selecting my Jump target from the GOTO botton (Red Arrow like Symbol in BEx Tool Bar), and choosing my Target.
Thanks

Problem in enabling the selection screen

Hi ,
I have problem in enabling the selection screen.
i have radio button and based on the radio button i need to make the date field as mandatory.
When i tried this with at selection screen on radio button group XXX, itu2019s not triggering.
Could you please help me by resolving the above problem?
Vijay

Hi,
see the sap documentation
... RADIOBUTTON GROUP group [USER-COMMAND fcode]
Effect:
This addition specifies that the input field is displayed as a radio button in the first position on the selection screen, and the output field is displayed next to it on the right. The radio button is selected if the value of para is "X" or "x". Otherwise, it is not selected.
group is used to define the radio button group for the parameter. The name group is entered directly as a character string with a maximum of 4 characters. Within a selection screen, there must be a minimum of two parameters in the same radio button group. There cannot be more than one radio button group with the same name in one program, even if they are defined in different selection screens.
The parameter must be specified with the type c and length 1. Explicit length specification using len is not permitted. If the addition TYPE is used, it can only be followed by the generic type c or a non-generic data type of type
In a radio button group, only one parameter can be defined with the addition DEFAULT, and the specified value must be "X". By default, the first parameter in a radio button group is set to the value "X", and the rest are set to " ".
The addition USER-COMMAND can be used to assign a function code fcode to the first parameter in a radio button group. The function code fcode must be specified directly, and have a maximum length of 20 characters. To evaluate the function code, an interface work area of the structure SSCRFIELDS from the ABAP Dictionary must be declared using the statement TABLES. When the user selects any radio button of the radio button group on the selection screen, the runtime environment triggers the event AT SELECTION-SCREEN and transfers the function code fcode to the component ucomm of the interface work area sscrfields. If a function code used in the GUI status of the selection screen is specified for fcode, the selection screen processing is affected accordingly.
Note:
It is recommended to define the radio buttons of a radio button group directly underneath each other. If the selection screen also contains other elements, it is recommended to define each radio button group within a block surrounded by a frame.
Regards,
Venkatesh

Copy 'Favorites' in 'Select Values for Variables' screen

I need to copy a list that I created as a 'Favorite' in the 'Select Values for Variables' screen for Customer to all the other userids so that everyone is using the same list of customers. Can someone tell me the table(s) where these values are stored? Is there a function module or program available that copies 'Favorites'.
It would be nice if you could select if the 'Favorites' you create can be 'Global'.
Thanks.

the variant values are stored in RSRPARAMETRIZA. the field content stores in XML format. you can write an ABAP program to read and update it.

BEx Analyzer Query Selection Variable Screen Issue

We are in the process of applying support packs to our system--BI7.01 and we are going from SP04 to SP10. After the application of support packs, when we execute a query (or a workbook with attached query), the query variable screen that normally appears does not, the query just executes without being able to filter/enter selection criteria.
We are using BEx Analyzer 3.5--long story about not upgrading to BEx 7.x. In our systems without support packs, the queries/workbook execute as expected. I've tried making a variable mandatory in one of the queries as a test and the selection screen then appears; however, we have hundreds of queries.
I've searched SDN and OSS and have found some similar issues, but not a solution. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Norris

Hello Michael,
Thanks for the informationit's funny as I think I was stumbling upon this notegoing support pack by support pack--when you posted it.
We applied to our development system and we are now getting the selection screens, so it does appear to resolve the situation. Thanks again for the information.
