Problem with cheking a # value in IF statement

Hi ,
I have to check value of
val_tab = node->get_value( ).
do .
end do .
if my val_tab contains '#' or '##' a DO statement below it shoul not get executed . i tried IF with string operations but
its not working . it does not check it for '#' value . Plz help how can i check it .

I told you this is because this # mark only appreas to be so, if you write
data: my_char type string value '#'.
if my_char = value_tab(1).
endif.
and debug the code you would see that it my-char has different hex representation than your val_tab(1) .
It is happening if SAP can't encode this char correctly (as this is one of special character) and presents you with the replacement, which is #. Nevetherless the real value behind it is not what we can see on the screen, it is determined by its hex(binary) representation.
Use my above code replacing
do 31 times.
xstr = x = sy-index. "convert to hex value and then to xstring
CALL FUNCTION 'HR_KR_XSTRING_TO_STRING'
    EXPORTING
     in_xstring          = xstr
   IMPORTING
     OUT_STRING          = out_str. "here you have string representation of # with correct hex value behind it
if out_str = val_tab(1) . "now only compare these two characters
   "....here # was found it means it is one of a special character
endif.
enddo.

Problem with field-symbol values not updating

H i ,
      I have following piece of code :
Assigning Dynamic Table to Field Symbol
    ASSIGN ist_dyn_table->* TO <gs_dyn_table>.
*   Creating Structure for dynamic table
    CREATE DATA gs_dyn_line LIKE LINE OF <gs_dyn_table>.

    LOOP AT ist_pwcl_main INTO wa_pwcl_main.

   2        <gs_field> = wa_pwcl_main-werks.
   3      ENDIF.

   6     <gs_field> = wa_pwcl_main-vbeln.
      ENDIF.
7 IF <gs_field> IS ASSIGNED.
8 <gs_field> = wa_pwcl_main-posnr.
      ENDIF.
   IF <gs_field> IS ASSIGNED.
        <gs_field> = wa_pwcl_main-quant.
      ENDIF.
on debugging at line 2 <gs_filed> contains the value of werks .
but at line 6 <gs_field> contains value of vbeln as 0 and at 8 of posnr as 0 .
What can be the problem ? Other values are getting assigned properly .
Plz help ...

Hi,
Assigning Dynamic Table to Field Symbol
    ASSIGN ist_dyn_table->* TO <gs_dyn_table>.
Creating Structure for dynamic table
    CREATE DATA gs_dyn_line LIKE LINE OF <gs_dyn_table>.
Creating line type for the Dynamic Values
    ASSIGN gs_dyn_line->* TO <gs_line>.
Populating values in the dynamic table
    LOOP AT ist_pwcl_main INTO wa_pwcl_main.
      ASSIGN COMPONENT gc_fld_werks OF STRUCTURE <gs_line> TO <gs_field>.

   2        <gs_field> = wa_pwcl_main-werks.
   3      ENDIF.
   5 IF <gs_field> IS ASSIGNED.
   6     <gs_field> = wa_pwcl_main-vbeln.
      ENDIF.
7 IF <gs_field> IS ASSIGNED.

      ENDIF.
   IF <gs_field> IS ASSIGNED.
        <gs_field> = wa_pwcl_main-quant.
      ENDIF.
Based on your coding above, <gs_field> has been assigned with data type 'WERKS' (i'd assume component gc_fld_werks found from structure <gs_line> is a plant typed), which is a CHAR(4) data type.
Meaning, if <gs_field> is assigned with Plant type value, e.g. <gs_field> = '1000', field symbol <gs_field> will contain 4 character only.
At line 6, if wa_pwcl_main-vbeln = '0000201000', <gs_field> is only capturing '0000' only. This is also happened to line 8.
However, it looks like that <gs_field> is getting over-write if ASSIGNED statement returns SY-SUBRC = 0.
Hope this helps.

Problems with varchar2 column and a select statement

Hi to all,
I am new to ODP...so I would really appreciate your help..
I am having problems with using the following code:
con.ConnectionString = "User Id=bla;Password=bla;Data Source=bla;";
string cmdQuery = "SELECT * from try where data ="+textBox1.Text+"";
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand(cmdQuery);
cmd.Connection = con;
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
OracleDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while (reader.Read())
MessageBox.Show(reader.GetString(0)+"");
cmd.Dispose();
con.Close();
where:
data is the name of a field in the table
textBox1 is the name of a text box where the user inserts the values..
The error that appears is "Invalid identifier"..
I hope it makes sense...and please help...

Hi,
I'm fairly sure it IS the single quotes actually. Print out the string you're trying to excute, then try it outside odp.net, does it work?
For example:
SQL> select * from dual where dummy=foo;
select * from dual where dummy=foo
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00904: "FOO": invalid identifier
SQL> select * from dual where dummy='foo';
no rows selected

.MSG files. Problem with getting requested values from crawled properites

Hi
I have a lot of msg files on my file server. I use SharePoint Enterprise Serach engine to crawl all these MSGs.
I would like to get extra managed properties out of these files. I am most interested in getting Mail:5(text) / Mail:12(Date and Time) / Mail:53(Date and Time) from MAIL category in Managed Properties.
This thread is very similar to one already posted by SpinnerUp:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/82d69df0-5cb2-4e51-a485-34209e111f4b/problem-with-crawling-msg-files-doesnt-seem-to-return-requested-values-from-crawled-property
Please be aware that I do not use Public Folders. These MSGs are exproted from Outlook and are stored on File Server not Exchange.
I tried to link Crawled Properties to new property however I cannot get any results back.
Thank you for you help.
Regards, Marcin (Please mark as helpful or answered if it helps)

Thank you for your replay.
However I am not keen to write custom connector at this stage.
Is it possible to simply get "Subject", "Sent", "Received" info from msg file and then map it to managed properties.
Does SharePoint create any crawled properties which contain information about let's say "Subject" which then can be used to create managed properties?
I tried playing with "MAIL" properties however I cannot get them to work. I guess this is because the file is a msg file rather than mail which is stored in Exchange Public Folder.

Problem with mouse-over value on a column chart (by Series)

Hi.
First of all thanks for any offered tip.
I am having a problem with a column chart.
When I move the mouse over a column it should show a small pop-up (or tip) with the column name (series name) and the value (series value). The problem is that it displays an extra '1' just like the following:
SeriesName
1
X.XXX
How can I remove the extra '1' and only show the name and the value ?
The data is populated by series (manually added).
Mihai.

Hi,
Thanks for the tip Shanthakumar KA.
Yes. It looks like the '1' is coming from the X Axis labels. The chart that I have built does not require any labels on the X Axis, so this was not set (X-Axis labels: Empty). I tried setting this to an empty cell, but the '1' still appears in the mouse-over tip.
It is very weird. If I leave the X-Axis labels empty, I still get the '1' displayed which is very annoing.
Are there any solutions for this except the re-building the tip with a label a.k.a. '[customize the mouse over values|http://xcelsiusandme.blogspot.com/2009/07/xm-sample-7-customizing-mouse-over.html].'

Problem with getting actual value in Row row=iter.getCurrentRow();

hi,
the use case is as follows:
in master-details, on detail table there are 2 columns with checkbox and username.
when user clicks checks, the username text item is populated with current user value in respective row.
<af:column sortProperty="#{bindings.DcaRegisterLinesV1.hints.Selected.name}" filterable="true"
sortable="true" headerText="#{bindings.DcaRegisterLinesV1.hints.Selected.label}" id="c1"
width="30">
<af:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{row.bindings.Selected.inputValue}"
label="#{row.bindings.Selected.label}" autoSubmit="true"
valueChangeListener="#{registerBean.socSelectedChangeListener}"
shortDesc="#{bindings.DcaRegisterLinesV1.hints.Selected.tooltip}" id="sbc1">

</af:selectBooleanCheckbox>
</af:column>
<af:column headerText="#{bindings.DcaRegisterLinesV1.hints.ProcessedUser.label}" id="c17" width="80"
sortProperty="#{bindings.DcaRegisterLinesV1.hints.ProcessedUser.name}" filterable="true"
sortable="true">
<af:outputText value="#{row.ProcessedUser}" id="ot17"/>
</af:column>
the bean's code is below:
public void socSelectedChangeListener(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
BindingContainer dcbindings = getBindings();
AttributeBinding at;
DCBindingContainer dc=(DCBindingContainer) dcbindings;
DCIteratorBinding iter=dc.findIteratorBinding("DcaRegisterLinesV1Iterator");
BindingContext bindingctx = BindingContext.getCurrent();
BindingContainer bindings = (BindingContainer)bindingctx.getCurrentBindingsEntry();
Row row=iter.getCurrentRow();
String AgreementId=row.getAttribute("AgreementId").toString();
System.out.println(" AgreementId="+AgreementId);
it always prints the first row's values.
even though i click on different rows on the table prior clicking checkbox.
what's wrong? seems like the model is not refreshed because what? autosubmit=true ?..
how can i get the actual row values?
please help
the

Hi,
lets clean up your code first:
public void socSelectedChangeListener(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
BindingContainer dcbindings = getBindings();
//AttributeBinding at;
DCBindingContainer dc=(DCBindingContainer) dcbindings;
DCIteratorBinding iter=dc.findIteratorBinding("DcaRegisterLinesV1Iterator");
//BindingContext bindingctx = BindingContext.getCurrent();
//BindingContainer bindings = (BindingContainer)bindingctx.getCurrentBindingsEntry();
Row row=iter.getCurrentRow();
String AgreementId=row.getAttribute("AgreementId").toString();
System.out.println(" AgreementId="+AgreementId);No to the possible problem. Check if the table SelectListener is set. It should have an EL string that ends with ".makeCurrent". This however makes only sense for single row select cases.

Asset Transfer - problems with incorrect depreciation values/period

Hi,
I'm trying to do an asset transfer between two company codes with transaction ABT1N using the gross method.
My problem is that when the asset is transferred the number of depreciation periods restart in the receiving company but with the net value from the sending company.
Example:
Company 1100:
Asset 1:
Aquired: january 2005
Value: 10 000 $
Depreciation time: 5 year x 12 months = 60 periods
Transfer to company 1200 on july 2007...
Depreciation in 1100 so far = 5 000 $
Net value to be transferred to CoCode 1200: 5 000 $
Here comes the problem, when I look at the depreciation time in company 1200 after the transfer, I see that the system now wants to depreciate the net value of 5 000 $ on another 60 periods period. This means that the asset will have a lifetime of 7,5 years in total instead of 5 years.
What I want to do is that after the transfer the depreciation should only by the the number of periods that is left from the original depreciation start in company 1100. This means that after the transfer there should only be 30 depreciation periods left in company 1200 on the transferred asset.
Thanks for response! I will add a lot of points to thoose that provides me with solution solving info.
Best regards
Carl-Johan

Carl,
This is where you can influence the fileds to be transfered in the transfer variant [1-Gross in your case].
Asset Accounting>Transactions>Intercompany Asset Transfers>Automatic Intercompany Asset Transfers>Define Transfer Variants-->Specify Transfer of Fields (for New Asset in Target CoCd)
Select the variant 1-Gross method and then click on the Depreciation area on the left bar. The system will display the all the Depreciation area for the Chart of Depr in question. Here for each depreciation area you can dictate what values from the old asset need to be trf to the new asset.
In your case, the system is not transfering the remaining useful life. Precisely you need to transfer the field group 19-Expired useful life and 20-Expired life in periods.
That should do the needful for you.
Have a nice day.

Problem with Selection screen values of an authorization variable

hi Gurus,
I have an authorization variable for Division in my queries....Now whenever a user tries to run the query...a list of divisions is available to him....All divisions for which he/she has proper roles assigned.
Now the problem is that these values are not restricted to the ones relevant to that query (namely the multi provider)
Eg. for a Flowers Query (divisions relevant to Flowers only) all the divisions (including the ones for Vegetables, Crops etc.) are also visible only because these roles are also assigned to the same user. This needs to be avoided.
In a nutshell....
Is their any way by which i can restrict the number of values popping up for an authorization variable in the selection screen, to only those values which are relevant to the info-provider on which the queries are based ???

hi Deepu,
I did go through that SAP note. I just have one concern regarding that. The check at the Info provider level is clear enough and i already have that in place. Now there are 2 more checks required a) at the info object level and b) at the BEX designer level.
Are all three checks required???
and also how do you place the check at the BEX level??? i could not quite figure that one out...
Any inputs would be welcome.
Thanks,
Nikhil

Problem with building array inside a case statement

I have a problem with my build array.
Iam trying to construct a build array when ever I see a new element in my parent array during run time.
Using shift registers, search array and If- case structure, inside a while loop. Iam implementing this logic (I dont want to use Event structure).
Iam able to achieve most part of it, but have a problem with the first element. Except the first element of my parrent array, every thing is appending in to the build array. Can any one look at my vi and suggest me what Iam doing wrong here.
Thank you

I think you need to replace the tunnels (carrying the array) in the for loop with a shift register.

Problem with Context - calculated Value

I have a problem with my WebDynPro-Project.
The Errors which is shown by the NWDS:
"Web Dynpro Generation: Metadata constraint of Component KeyMappingComponent is violated: CalculatedAttributeProvider "//WebDynpro/Controller:de.vwfsag.keymapping.ui.KeyMappingComponent/CalculatedAttributeProvider:BusinessAttributeDataSprache", Role "Attribute": A minimum of 1 object(s) is required"
What I've done:
- changed valueproperties calculated from "true" to "false" and back.
The problem is that the set und get methods remained after resetting the calculateproperty to "false".
I've tried several time to switch the property but now I got more remained set and get methods (..._1, ..._2, ...), which I can't delete in the NWDS.
What I also tried was to change the .wdcontroller"-file of my controller-component, but this file is generated so after a rebuild the ".wdcontroller"-file is still corrupted.
I think the conclusion should be something to delete these methods or change the calculatedproperty in some files you can't access directly from the NWDS.
I hope anyone could help me out with this?

That was the first thing I already tried. I deleted the whole context und then rebuild and repair and rebuild... But none of that help.

These getters/setters only have part of the configuration with no context-attribute-bind, which in fact seems to be the problem for the build-process.

Problem with checkbox and "if" & "else if" statement

Hi, i have got something like this:
if (this.rawValue=="0" ){
app.alert("0");
this.resolveNode("Circle1").presence = "hidden";
this.resolveNode("cross").presence = "visible";
else if (this.rawValue=="1"){
app.alert("1");
this.resolveNode("Circle1").presence = "visible";
this.resolveNode("cross").presence = "hidden";
else{
app.alert("2");
this.resolveNode("Circle1").presence = "hidden";
this.resolveNode("cross").presence = "hidden";
I set default position on neutral state. Values are default: on=1, off=0, neutral=2.
When i am clicking on my check box button there works only "on" (1) and "neutral" (2) state. "off" state is not working and i don`t know why.
Please help me with that.

Hi,
Here is the form back to you: https://acrobat.com/#d=qiBnkcpRnPWxA5hokFXvQw.
I have tightened the script, but that was not the main problem. The issue was that the checkbox was on the Master Page and had a default value of neutral. Some objects on the Master Page, like checkboxes with default values and buttons, can misbehave when the form is relaid out (layout:ready event).
If you have a look at the form you will see that the objects on the Design Page behave as expected. However similar objects on the Master Page will revert to default everytime the layout:ready event fires. This has already been logged with Adobe.
I would recommend moving the objects to a Design Page or maybe use a dropdown instead of the checkbox.

Problem with AT NEW and AT END Statements

Hi all,
I am facing a problem in a report with i have to change ,
currently report is for single plant input but now multiple option is to be given , so now the material quantity and value should come along with material and plant.
But in report lot's of AT NEW matnr and AT END of matnr has been use but now i have to add plant in it , but these statements take only one parameter.
I tried using ON CHANGE Statement but in that SUM Can't be use.
So please help me in sorting out this problem.
Thanks and Regards,
Vivek

Hi,
Already you are using material in AT NEW statements and you want to include Plant. by changing the structure you can continue with the same statement i.e., AT NEW matnr.
Structure:
Data: begin of itab occurs 0,
           werks type werks,
           matnr   type matnr,
           qyt     type matqty,
         end of itab.
SORT itab BY werks, matnr.
If you use AT NEW matnr. this will be triggered when plant value changes and also when matnr changes.
Hope it is clear.

basically stop the string and write double quotes before the variable

Mapping problem with Multiple destination values

Hi,
I recently started to work on SAP MDM as a beginner. I am posting this message to get some help to solve the problems that I encountered as I run the SAP.
For example, we can sub-categorize a 'Product' as Food>ProcessedFood>Frozen Food>Pizzas'. However, notice that there exist the sameNode name under the 'Commodity' as following two categories show.
Product>Food>Processed Food>Frozen Food>Pizzas
Commodity>Food>Processed Food>Frozen Food>Pizzas
The Node name, 'Pizzas', under two different categories has fewattributes such as A, B, C, and D. When I tried mapping these attributes at Map Field/Values Tab under the import manager, I ended up getting warning messages due to the overlapping.
The message says "One or more of the source values were mapped to multiplz destination values. Some of the mapped destination values may need to be unmapped before performing the import."
Does anyone have an idea to solve this overlapping problem?
I will really appreciate your answer.

Hi,
As per my understanding, there are two categories as shown by you
Product>Food>Processed Food>Frozen Food>Pizzas
Commodity>Food>Processed Food>Frozen Food>Pizzas
and you want to link Attributes with specific correct Category say Product not with Commodity. So in order to avoid overlapping, try using option Split Hierarchy. For more details Please refer below Article: refer page 11-15/20

Problem with Displaying Percentage Value

Hello Everyone,
I have a report that calculates a percentage based on 2 figures. For Example, Actual_count = 15000 and forecast_count = 14900. To calculate the percentage i use the following SQL statement
select ROUND(((ACTUAL_COUNT-FORECAST_COUNT)/FORECAST_COUNT)*100,1) as "PERCENTAGE" from tableThis gives me the result of "-.7". This is the correct answer but what i would like is for the answer to display "-0.7".
Obviously i only want this when the percentage is minus, when it is plus it is not a problem.
The reason i want this is because it is easier to read, my manager has been confusing the figures thinking that the minus figures are the plus figures (apparently his eye sight is not what it was 8-P).
Would this be possible?
Thanks in Advance,

After Experimenting a bit with your approach Shijesh, i would suggest using Bens format mask code.
Say for example i use 0.00 like you suggested but my percentage is -20.1 then the report would display ####. To combat this i changed 0.00 to 000.00 this then displayed the -20.1 percentage as -021.1. I know it is still the same answer but it is not as pleasing on the eye :)
Ben if you dont mind me asking, where did you get that format mask code?
Thanks,
