Hi..
there is option..
SUBMIT report  EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY
Effect
This addition stores the basic list for the program accessed in the ABAP Memory. It can only be used together with the addition AND RETURN.
The list is stored in the ABAP Memory as an internal table of the row type ABAPLIST, ABAPLIST being a structured data type in the ABAP Dictionary.
The calling program can access the list stored once program access is completed, using function modules belonging to the function group SLST.
The function module LIST_FROM_MEMORY loads the list from the ABAP Memory to an internal table of the row type ABAPLIST.
The function module WRITE_LIST inserts the content of an internal table of the row type ABAPLIST in the current list.
The function module DISPLAY_LIST displays the content of an internal table of the row type ABAPLIST in a separate list screen.
Note
The addition can only work provided the function key Enter is not linked to a function code in the GUI status last defined for the program accessed.
Example
Once the program report has been accessed, the list stored there in the ABAP Memory is read by means of function modules and inserted in the current list.
DATA list_tab TYPE TABLE OF abaplist.
SUBMIT report EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY
              AND RETURN.
CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
  TABLES
    listobject = list_tab
  EXCEPTIONS
    not_found  = 1
    OTHERS     = 2.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
  CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_LIST'
    TABLES
      listobject = list_tab.
ENDIF.
Now...u have the itab list_tab which you is having the output. Now..using GUI_DOWNLOAD...download the contents to the txt file in your local direcctory..if any prob..come backk to me..

  • SCCM 2012 R2 reporting error: "The DefaultValue expression for the report parameter 'UserTokenSIDs' contains an error: A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated. (rsRuntimeErrorInExpression)"

    Hi,
    I have two SCCM environments under same active directory domain and one service account have been used for SCCM configurations on both the environments (QA and PRODUCTION). I am facing similar error as mentioned above while trying to fetch reports on
    PRODUCTION site, but the QA site is working fine, though same service account have been used for configuring both. While looking at the reportserverservice_<date> log on my Production DB server i see the following error
    "processing!ReportServer_0-3!2124!01/02/2015-09:09:30:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ProcessingAbortedException: , Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ProcessingAbortedException: An error has occurred during
    report processing. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ReportProcessingException: Cannot read the next data row for the dataset DataSet1. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value 'Override
    Default' to data type int."
    My DB and SCCM primary site are different and the reorting services point is installed on remote DB server. Please help me resolving the issue.
    Troubleshooting performed:
    1.Disabled the registry key 'EnableRbacReporting' from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\SRSRP to 0 and then restarted SSRS service and the reporting worked for some minutes after that the registry key reverted back to 1 automatically and
    reporting started throwing errors again.
    2. Checked with the permissions on DB whether or not 'sysadmin' role is assigned to the SCCM service account.
    3. re-registered the SQL management Provider WMI class.
    mofcomp.exe “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof”

    Hi All,
    Finally found exact solution to the reporting error.
    Error: while launching SCCM reports (both from Console and web based) an unexpected error occured with error message as "The DefaultValue expression for the report parameter ‘UserTokenSIDs’ contains an error: A specified logon session does not exist.
    It may already have been terminated. (rsRuntimeErrorInExpression)"
    Solution: This is password replication issue for the domain account used to configure reporting services point in SCCM. If your SQL SSRS reporting services instance and databse runs with local default account whereas the reporting services point on SCCM
    primary site is configured with domain account, (As in My case) you need to perform the following in order to get rid of the error.
    Launch 'Reporting Services Configuration Manager' from the SQL SSRS box(either Local or Remote), Connect to Report Server Instance->Go to 'Execution Account' tab->Specify the 'Execution Account' as domain account and password which is used to configure
    Reporting Services Point in SCCM Primary Site, and then click apply.
    Now Lauch the report either way (Web based or from Console), the error will disappear and all your default reports will execute perfectly as before.

  • HOW TO ASSIGN F4_VALUE_HELP FOR A REPORT OUTPUT FIELD???

    I don't think that you are get the F4 functionality by pressing F4, but maybe if you use a hotspot you could achieve it.  Check this sample.  When you click on a company code in the list, it fires the F4 help defined by the program.

  • The default value as "None" for the report filter which is Value List type?

    Hello,
    I want to know is it possible to make the default value as "None" for the report filter which is Value List data type?
    For example:The Project Classification Value List value type which have many value like "Supplier Rationalization" "Category Sourcing" "Contract Regegotiation" etc, and the value "Supplier Rationalization" is in the frist positon in the value list. When i use "Project Classification " as a report filter, the value "Supplier Rationalization" displayed as default value. And in the value list box in report filter of Project Classification , there is a value "None" which should be added automatically by system. So i manually filled the default value with "None" in Filter Prompt screen, but it does not work. After i display the report ,the Project Classification filter still use the ""Supplier Rationalization" as the default value.
    My current ESO version is 5.1. I tried other ESO version like 5.15, if i manaully give a default value "None" in Filter Prompt screen for filter Project Classification, then the default value is "None". It works well.
    Does anybody know if it's possible to do the same thing in ESO 5.1?
    Thanks & Regards,
    David
    Edited by: David Gao on Aug 11, 2010 4:06 AM

    Hi David -
    This is possible, but the technique is not too obvious...
    To make "None" be the default choice for a query definition filter parameter of type value list type, you need to set the default value of the filter parameter to the following:
    <internal id of value list type>:616:NULL
    For example, I believe you will see that the internal id of the Project Classification value list type is 51, so the default value of the filter parameter would be:
    51:616:NULL
    I hope this helps.

    Rob

  • Options for ABAP report output in Dashboard type presentation

    Background
    Monash University environment is SAP ERP ECC6 - no BW. The University has undertaken considerable analysis of spend as part of developing a strategic approach to procurement. The data used to undertake this analysis was extracted from SAP MM and FI using a developed ABAP report which collates, categorizes and consolidates all spend information from MM (for our Purchase Order based commitment and expenditure) and FI (for direct invoices and Corporate Credit Card expenditure). This information is then currently exported to MS-Excel to produce a report containing graphs, pie charts etc.
    Requirement
    To present output from our Spend Analysis Report in a more readable dashboard type presentation. This facility should allow easy manipulation (slice and dice) and drill down of the data.. Our requirement is to have something operating within a very short time-frame, say within a month or two. Although you might suggest Web Dynpro Business Graphic or SEM /BW (as the optimal solution) we understand the set up time for either of these solutions is prohibitive. Visual Composer has been suggested as another option but we have no in-house expertise to determine if this is a viable solution.
    Some colleagues visited a conference a couple of weeks ago and saw a demonstration of a product call XenoCube http://www.inlogik.com/downloads/XenoCube_Brochure.pdf
    which was proposed as a quick way to present SAP 'raw' report output in a more readable form. Other solutions in this space that have been suggested include:-
    Zycus - Actionable Spend Analysis – Zycus.com
    Emptoris Spend Analysis - emptoris.com
    ONIQUA Enterprise Analytics– oniqua.com.au
    Ariba Buyer – ariba.com
    SAS Spend Analysis – sas.com
    Etesius – SpendGuardian etesius.com
    Can anyone provide advice as to their experience of SAP solution, integrated partner products or any of the about products to satisfy a similar requirement to that which I have outlined? The main selection criteria will include a product which is:
    a) quick & easy to implement,
    b) presentation and manipulation of ABAP extracted data
    c) is scalable and
    d) is reasonably priced.
    Grateful for any advice regarding a solution .
    Thank-you

  • BW solution for ABAP Reports

    Hi All,
    I have a client which implemented SAP R/3 and they have certain standard reports like MB5B, VA05 and certain zreports. Now my task is to propose a BW solution for that client. What will be the steps that needs to be done to accomplish this task. help in this regards will be appreciated and awarded.
    Thanks all.

    Hi Pratibha,
    If there are too many reports that need to be reproduced in BW then you can club similar reports or belonging to a particular module. And then built datasources for them.
    If there very few reports,
    1. Find out the program behind the ABAP reports
    2. Build a zprogram for the output and put into an FM.
    3. Create a direct update DSO in BW on the FM
    Let me know if it helps or not.

  • Problem while downloading report output

    Hi friends,
    I want to download the report output to local disk in excel file format. The report is developed using ALV grid display (using type poolSLIS). When I run the report all the values are displaying correctly.
    When I download the same in excel file using spreadsheet/unconverted option, some fields are getting cut. For example Vendor code in report showing as 4060070, but in downloaded file it is showing as 406007 (last character missing.).
    I tried GUI_DOWNLOAD function module(for practice), and it is downloading correct values in excel format.
    The problem occurs for only one column. What will be the problem.
    Is this something system problem or we what else.
    Thank you,
    madan

    Hi,
    Did you set the outlen property for your ALV Grid display?
    Please check this.
    Also, check whether you are exceeding the size for uploading a row in Excel or not.
    Thanks and Best Regards,

  • Need solution for a Reporting Requirement

    Hello Experts,
    I need design a solution for Report, where in I need to show ageing of Invoice based of Due date of Invoice for last four weeks as explained below:
    In cube i have records like this:
    Industry       Invoice Number      Due Date      Amount
    8111                   IV1                  13/04/2011  1000
    8111                   IV2                  17/04/2011  1000
    Say current week end date is 03/05/2011, now I need to show data for last 4 weeks in report, by calculting what is due at that weekend date e.g. there is no amount due on 12/04/2011, but next week on 19th amount due in 1000, then subsequent week there are 2 Inv. due, amount for 26th is 2000. Similarly there is additional invoice after 26th, so amount on 3rd remains the same i.e. 2000.

    Please let me know what is the best solution to achive this, as data volume would be high i.e.
    1. In Bex query, is this can be done, if yes how?
    2. Or we need to do this in EDW, by having additonal cube, if yes how?
    Please let me know if you have solution for this.

    Hi All,
    Thanks for the replies.
    Please tell me if I can call a file sender communication channel from an UDF and pass the dinamic configuration values at runtime.
    If this is possible, I think the above requirement is addressed.
    Please tell me in case of any more solutions too.
    Thanks once again.
    Regards.

  • Solution for using HDMI output to devices not supporting HDCP

    I read a number of similar posts about this issue and wanted to share my experience on it, propose a possible solution and ask if anyone else has already tried it.
    Symptom
    The symptom is that when playing rented content (some have reported this with purchased content as well, but that's not my experience) *you hear audio, but see either a black or a white screen with no video*.
    _My Experience_
    I had this problem with my Boxlight Cinema 17SF projector, which is a few years old. It has a DVI input, so seeking to get the best picture possible, rather than connecting the Apple TV to the projector using a component video cable, I tried to use an HDMI to DVI cable. It looked great for TV shows and purchased movies, but when trying to view movie rentals I was hearing audio, but seeing only a black screen. I called Apple support, told them about the problem and gave them my exact configuration, but they didn't have any suggestions to offer beyond restoring to factory defaults and upgrading. I tried this, and tried every possible video resolution and projector setting, but after days spent on it, nothing would solve the problem.
    _Background on the Problem_
    After reading some posts from helpful users in the Apple TV forum, and after some googling, I found that this problem happens when users try to use an HDMI to DVI cable to connect the Apple TV to an older display device, such as a high definition TV or projector. As it turns out, content played over the HDMI connector is protected using HDCP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDCP, http://www.projectorpeople.com/cables/HDCP_DVI.asp).
    Essentially, in order to properly display content, the display device needs an HDCP chipset from a subsidiary of Intel, which older devices do not have (plus for HDMI, HDCP support is mandatory but for DVI, it's optional). If your display device does not have this chipset, or worse yet, if it has the chipset but it isn't compatible with the Apple TV version of the chipset, video content will not display and you'll typically get a black or white screen. Apple must have gotten a number of support calls on this, as I read in a recent post that they no longer support using HDMI to DVI cables to connect your Apple TV to your display device. Aha.
    _Component Video_
    One of the nice things about component video is that there's no HDCP to worry about. You can use the component video output on the Apple TV to connect to your display device, and you'll be able to view all content. In my case, I'm using a component video to SVGA adapter. It works, and I can view all content, purchased or rented.
    Unfortunately, however, aside from component video being an analog rather than a digital signal, the component output on the Apple TV is crippled and only supports 480i resolution. So if you have a high definition device and want to use component video at higher resolutions than 480i to watch your high definition movies, you're out of luck.
    Just as an aside, component video looks best for me when I go into the settings and first try to select 720p resolution. I hear two "beep beep" sounds (the same sound as when you try to navigate beyond the end of a menu) and briefly see a menu showing that the Apple TV is canceling the resolution change for me (holy cow that's weak, they crippled this at the interface level), and the Apple TV forces me back to 480i. However, for some reason the contrast is better after this, colors are better and blacks are much deeper. Despite this unexplained oddity which may only be true for my Cinema 17SF DLP projector, the resolution is still limited to 480i.
    _Possible Solution?_
    After some more googling, I ran into this device called an HDFury at http://www.hdfury.com/. Apparently, it's an HDMI to VGA/component video converter that strips HDCP from the video and allows the use of resolutions up to 1080p. There are two versions, the HD Fury and the HD Fury 2. Although it's pricey, I'm going to give the HD Fury 2 a try. Even though it wouldn't be a digital connection to my projector, at least it should allow me to use 720p or 1080p, in theory.
    I should point out that I'm not sure about the legality of this device. Essentially you're removing something that was supposed to be there to prevent people from copying digital content, but regarding this I think a couple of things: 1) It's only an analog output (SVGA or component), so you're not getting the original digital data and 2) you're using this for personal use, or you should be. You're not using it to circumvent the DRM, but only so that you can view the content you've rightfully purchased or rented.
    So, *has anyone tried this device with the Apple TV*, or discovered another way to get all available resolutions when displaying on older high-definition devices using DVI or component video? I'll wait a few days for responses, then go ahead and buy one and post again about my results with it. Thanks for any advice.

    I have an update on this that should clarify one critical thing and make my original premise about the use of an HD Fury unnecessary (although the content of the post might still be useful). I had thought that the component video output on the Apple TV was crippled to 480i, but it's not.
    What was happening to me was that 720p and 1080i resolutions were taking a long time to sync on my projector, so I was never seeing the Cancel/OK menu that comes up to accept the resolution. I thought that the Apple TV was selecting Cancel for me, but it wasn't, it was just timing out because I never accepted the new resolution.
    So, if you KNOW that your device supports the resolution you're selecting (such as 720p) and your device is just taking a long time to sync, select the new resolution, wait a second then press down and OK on your remote, even though you don't see anything. You'll accept the new resolution.
    However, *if you do this and the new resolution doesn't work, you could be hosed*. I suggest that if this is the case, remember the remote keypresses necessary to back out and reverse the change. For example, remember the number of times you need to press up or down to return to your original resolution, then hit OK, down then OK to go back to a safe resolution, like 480i.
    At least now, I'm able to use 720p or 1080i with the component video output, and it works with both rented and purchased videos. It still doesn't work with the HDMI -> DVI cable, but the use of the HD Fury should be unnecessary when the Apple TV component output supports all resolutions.

  • Default name for saving report output

    Hi,
    I created an Oracle Report that is run via the rwservlet. Users will be prompted to view/save the output when destype=cache and desformat=pdf, spreadsheet, or delimiteddata. When they try to save the output, the default file name is rwservlet.pdf (or rwservlet.xls). Is there a way to specify a different default file name? Setting the desname and/or jobname parameter (e.g. desname=temp.pdf) doesn't have any effect. Has anyone found a solution to this?
    Thanks,
    Brian

    Hello,
    A solution may be to add a HTTP header "Content-disposition" to the answer sent by the Reports Servlet:
