Problem setting initial value for LOV

Hello, everyone. This seems like it should be simple, but it's giving me lots of problems. I am trying to create my first LOV. I have a messageLovInput item called PFedFilingStatus. From the Property Inspector, I can set an Initial Value of "02", which displays when I run the page, and lets me change it and validate it using the associated LOV.
What I would rather do is set the initial value programmatically, but here are my problems:
If I set the value like this:
OAMessageLovInputBean lovText = (OAMessageLovInputBean)pageLayout.findIndexedChildRecursive("PFedFilingStatus");
lovText.setText("02");
then the field displays properly at run time, but can't be changed. The LOV runs, but any value I select flips back to "02"
If I set the value like this:
lovText.setDefaultValue("02");
then nothing seems to happen at run time. The value is not displayed at all.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks for your help.

Yes, that helps a bunch. Now can you tell me where that is set?
Thanks so much.

Set initial value for numerical control

Hello LV users,
I have a VI that is used to initialize some experimental equiptment. It passes on a cluster of ten or so numerical control DBL integers as parameters. Everytime I open the programe the values are reset back to zero and I have to enter the values back in. Is there any way to set default values for the controls so I do not have to change them everytime I open the program.
Thanks
Solved!

Wowden,
If you want to set default values for multiple numeric control's in your cluster in one go,
-Type in the desired default values
- Right click on your cluster, browse to 'data operations'
- Choose 'Make current values default.
Similarly, if you need to set defaults for multiple clusters or multiple controls on your front panel,
- Choose 'Edit' in the menu
- Choose "make current values default' (This sets defaults for all controls/constants etc. in one go)

How to set initial value for a dropdown box?

Hi,
Within Netweaver 2004S (BI 7.0) we use integrated planning. In one of our applications we want to use a dropdown box (created with the WAD) to make a selection possible for a characteristic.
We set up a pre-query to fill the dropdown box (via data binding CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTION) with the proper values. This works fine.
We pass on the choosen entry (via command SET_VARIABLES_STATE) to a second variable that is used in another query. This command is triggered after the user makes a selection in the dropdown box. Also this works fine. After selection of one entry, the output of the second query is limited.
We have the following problem: the first time a blank selection entry is added to the dropdownbox and that no values are passed on to the second query. Because it seems that the user first must choose an entry.
What we would like to do is that one of the found values of the pre-query is automatically selected in the dropdown box and passed on to the second variable (to limit the second query).
I give you an example:
The first query delivers value A, B, and C for the characteristic of the dropdown box.
The first time the dropdown box showns an empty entry, and three additional entries A, B and C. The second query shows all results, because the second variable doesn't receive any value via the command SET_VARIABLES_STATE. The command is not yet triggered.
When you select A, B or C, the command is triggered and the second query shows only results for the choosen entry (this is correct). Now the empty entry has disappeared from the dropdown box. Only the entries A, B and C are left.
Is it possible to set up the dropdown box on such a way (or add some script coding around it) that in the initial show for the dropdown box one of the entries is choosen automatically, so that the empty line is not part of the value set of the dropdown box and that the command connected to the dropdown box (in our case the SET_VARIABLES_STATE) is carried out automatically?
Please, who can help us with this?
Kind regards and thanks in advance,
Marcel.

Hi,
In BW 3.5,say you want to set default for calmonth.
In order to avoid the ALL option from appearing in the dropdown box,
filter infobject 0CALMONTH for DP1 by any valid value.
In the object Data_provider include the lines in Bold:
<object>
<param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
<param name="CMD" value="SET_DATA_PROVIDER"/>
<param name="NAME" value="DP1"/>
<param name="QUERY" value="WORKSHOP_CALMONTH_DROPDOWN"/>
<param name="INFOCUBE" value="0D_SD_C03"/>
<<b>param name="FILTER_IOBJNM" value="0CALMONTH"/>
<param name="FILTER_VALUE" value="200401"/></b>
DATA_PROVIDER: DP1
</object>
Hope this helps.

Can't Set Default Value for LOV Presentation DB Column

I have a simple form. One of the fields is populated using a named, dynamic LOV with the following source query:
SELECT USER_NAME DISPLAY_VALUE, USER_ID RETURN_VALUE
FROM USER_ACCT
ORDER BY 1
I want the default user to be public, which is one of the possible values returned by the above query. However, I just can't find a good way to do this.
If I put the following query in the Default section, nothing happens.
SELECT USER_ID
FROM USER_ACCT
WHERE USER_NAME = 'PUBLIC'
If I look up the ID and statically put the value in the Default, it works (This isn't acceptable . From environment to environment the value will differ)
If I put the SQL in an after footer page process, it sets the value correctly in the session but, does not update the display.
If I try to put it in the Post Calculation Computation section, it merely produces an error.
I'm sure that I am missing something simple but, I have not spent an hour and half on this.
Someone please help!

A function I'd like to see is the ability to not only create a select list dynamically, but also set the default value of that select list's item to the first (or Nth?) value on that list. This could be specified in the builder by an item option.
E.G., if a select list LOV returns three values: "foo", "bar", "baz", go ahead and set the value of the select list item to "foo".
As far as I've been able to discover, there's no built-in way to do this in Application Express. I've looked through the app, the docs, and the forum. If such a method does exist, please let me know.
Otherwise, we end up running additional processes that reissue the query so we can grab the first item as the default value. This seems inefficient to me.
Keeping the LOV query and the "first item" query consistent can present problems as well. We usually end up pushing the LOV query into a function so it can be maintained in a single location, but this seems more like a workaround than anything else.
While the query is probably cached, Application Express has that return value already, right? Why calculate/choose it again?

Vl31n set initial values

Hello,
I donu2019t have very much experience in abap, so I will ask you to help me. I need to fill the the purchase order and the vendor field from vl31n transaction - initial screen with some values. Can you suggest me an user-exit, a badi or something else to solve my problem? I mention that I never worked with badi or user-exits, so I will appreciate any details about this and how is used..
Thanksu2019

I assume you want to call the transaction from within another abap program and populate the entry fields on the selection screen ?
Generally for any transaciton, if you place the cursor in the input field and press F1 you will get the help. From here if you select the technical help you will see information about the field.
On here there is a parameter id field, showing BES for Purchase order number and LIF for Vendor.
You can then use SET PARAMETER ID to set the values for these two IDs and they will appear when the transaction is then called.

Error: Missing initial value for session parameter

Hi,
I'm facing a problem while running the ETL process for Complete 11.5.10 Execution Plan in DAC Client. Some tasks are getting failed beacuse of the following error:-

When i checked the parameter file i can see the value assigned to the $DBConnection_OLAP. The same tasks ran successfully when i ran the ETL process for Complete 11.5.10 for the first time. I did not change anything after that and also all these are came built-in with the installation of Oracle BI Applications.
Please anyone give me an idea what is causing the problem.
Thanks,

in DAC > Run History > Task Details, query
Name = SDE_ORA_Product_Category_Temporary
Open Status Description, look for string -lpf, the file after it is the actual parameter file DAC send to INFA server. E.g
-lpf D:\DACTOPUS\Informatica\parameters\SDE_ORAR12_Adaptor.SDE_ORA_Product_Category_Temporary.txt
Open the parameter file, most likely the [session_name] does not match with SDE_ORA_Product_Category_Derive_Full or some parameters are missing.

Set a value for a variable of type exit

Hello,
I am filling some variables with multiple values in user exit.
Now, i would like to place some of these characteritics in Header area. It's of course impossible because there is multiple values but ...
I will put dropdown box in the web application for these chars. The problem is that by default, any value is assigned to the dropdwom ( any variable value is set).
Do you know how i can set a value for theses variable after filling all values by the user exit. SO that only one value is selected for the header and all others values available in the dropdown ?
Regards,
Jarod

Hi,
Off late, this seems to be a usual requirement.
Just create a Z program to call the FM API_SEMBPS_VARIABLE_SET and then call the FM API_SEMBPS_POST.
you should be preparing the content/set value to pass to the FMs. check the whereused list to see how this FMs can be used/called.
finally, run this program for your variable, after the loading/filling the exit variable. Please note that to set 'exit' variables, the sourcing variable's content need to be read/set first before setting the exit varible.

Query to set initial values

Hi all,
Is it possible to use queries to set initial values or change existing values? For example, we are adding in a new sales employee that will be our sales rep for customers in a certain area. Would it be possible to run a query that would set the Sales Employee field in the BP Master Data as this new sales rep if the customer is in that area? If yes, what is the general process for using queries to set values in this manner (we have other things we would like to use this for as well, if its possible)?
Thanks for the help

Hi Todd,
The best way to tackle this is probably to use a query to extract the business partners you wish to update and then use the Data Transfer Workbench to update the Business Partners in question.
You could also add a Formatted Search to the Business Partner screen so all new Business Partners default to the correct Sales Person based upon territory/address or whatever criteria you like.
Cheers,
Sean

Hi
Pleae check if you have initialised with a NULL value . "blank/null" is indeed not a valid characteristic value for fiscal period. Fisc.per is of type NUMC which means all characters have to be numerical. The initial value should be "0000000" .
Thanks,

What is the initial value for a numeric field ??

Can someone tell me what the INITIAL VALUE FOR A NUMERIC FIELD is ?? Thank you
Rod.

Using the following...
   class MyClass
     int myvar1; // Default initial value
     int myvar2 = 3; // Default initial value and default value
     MyOtherClass myclass1; // Default initial value
     void doit()
       int mylocal1; // No value
       MyOtherClass myclass2; // No value
All number member variables, like myvar1 start off with andefault initial value which is zero. For booleans this is false. Object reference variables, like myclass1, have a null value.
All local numeric variables are considered undefined. So mylocal1 and myclass2 are undefined. Before you can use them you must explicitly provide a value.
Finally note that myvar2 will have two values during class instantiation. Initially it will have a value of zero. Sometime later it will have the value of 3. (When that happens is very definitely outside the scope of what this forum covers. If you want to know then ask in the advanced forum.)
