Amarender Reddy B

Hi Amar,
You can get the data element for a field in a database table using DD03L table.
Check this code.
DATA V_ROLLNAME TYPE DD03L-ROLLNAME.
SELECT ROLLNAME
   FROM DDO3L
     INTO V_ROLLNAME
WHERE TABNAME = 'MARA' -->Provide table name
     AND FIELDNAME = 'PSTAT'. -->Provide field name
WRITE:/ 'Data element is: ', V_ROLLNAME.
Otherwise, use function module KL_TABLE_INFO_GET to get the data element for a field of a database table. Provide table name to I_TABNAME and field name to I_FIELDNAME and you will get the data elemet in the export parameter E_TABFIELD_W-ROLLNAME.
Thanks,
Vinay

How to add new data element to field list

Hi,
I am implementing Succession Planning 3.0 SP1.
To make new data element was successful.
I want to use them as sort field, however I don't know how to add them to the list of fields with caption.
(i.e. to setting Visualize>My Org Units>Sort Fields)
If you know how to config data elements usw. Please advise.
Best Regards,
Hiroshi Takimoto

Hi Hiroshi,
There are 2 ways to do this, both involving some customization of the application.
1) Extend your HR-OCI views (TMC_O_SUCC_T & TMC_O_SUCC_B for My Org Units and TMC_IN_REP_T_DT & TMC_IN_REP_B_DT) to include Short Name. You probalby want to seek help from an OM consultant if this is not your area of expertise.
2) Create a linked data element that links together the existing data elements and a new data element which includes Short Name. Your new data element must have the name of the existing data elements or you should change the hierarchy configuration that uses these data elements. Beware that this can prove troublesome for the Position Hierarchy because of the "virtual root" that is created - sometimes the join does not work because of this.

Read data from CLOB field

Hello,
I have table ( table1 ) with clob field ( clob1 ).
Content of clob1 field is :
data01 data02 data03 12345 data04
data05 data06 data07 32131 data08
data09 data10 data11 43422 data12
data13 data14 data15 54534 data16
Content of clob1 field is imported from ASCII file. Number of records in ASCII file is variable.
How can I read each row separately from clob1 field?
Thanks

Here is an example of how it can be done.
Note you will have to have an end of line marker on each line including the last line.
In my case I have used the '@' symbol as a line delimiter
declare
v_clob clob := 'This is my@clob string which@is over a number@of lines@';
v_clob_length number;
v_read_pos number := 1;
v_subclob clob;
v_line varchar2(4000);
v_marker number;
begin
v_clob_length := dbms_lob.getlength(v_clob);
while v_read_pos <= v_clob_length
loop
v_subclob := empty_clob();
-- make a clob of the smaller piece of data
v_subclob := dbms_lob.substr(v_clob,v_clob_length,v_read_pos);
-- find the position of the end of line marker
v_marker := dbms_lob.instr(v_subclob,'@');
-- build a line from the subclob, removing the trailing end of line marker
v_line := dbms_lob.substr(v_subclob,v_marker-1,1);
dbms_output.put_line(v_line);
-- increment the position from where to start reading the original clob
v_read_pos := v_read_pos+length(v_line)+1;
end loop;
end;This produces the following
This is my
clob string which
is over a number
of lines

Data Element of MSGFN field in IDOC (DEBMAS)

May I know which data element the field MSGFN belongs to. I couldn't find the corresponding in the table KNA1 for example.
Please help

Hi
MSGFN belongs to no structure.
It defines what to do with each segment.
Look at WE60 with DEBMAS* you may see the possible values or WE31 with whatever segment.
eg: E1KNVPM-MSGFN = '003' would mean delete the partner function related in this segment.
Hope this helps.

How to find all tables that are associated with a given domain name.

I want to find all table, excluding the structures, of a given domain name, say, waers.
Some of the tables are directly contains the domains while others are related with a data element which is connected to that domain.
I want to find tables for all two case -either tables connected directly to the domain or connected via data element- and exclude the structures.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
The following thing may help you.
in se11-> search for tables having names like 'DD*'.
From this list of tables you can find the required table to get domain, data element nad table name.
one way of doing it:
SELECT rollname domname
FROM dd04l
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_tab.
SELECT rollname tabname
FROM dd03l
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_tab1
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_tab
WHERE rollname = it_tab-rollname.
SORT it_tab1.
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM it_tab1.
LOOP AT it_tab1 INTO wa_tab.
MODIFY it_tab FROM wa_tab
TRANSPORTING tabname
WHERE rollname = wa_tab-rollname.
ENDLOOP.
LOOP AT it_tab INTO wa_tab.
WRITE:/ wa_tab-domname,
wa_tab-tabname.
ENDLOOP.

Problem when using a different data element in Employee Tab Contact Info

Hello,
My version: Nakisa OrgChart 4.1
I created a data element whose fields I wanted to show in the Position details (in the Employee Profile panel, which use the default Static layout 'Employee Tabs'). I am trying to display some contact info, and I used the Employee Tab Contact Info section within Employee Tabs to do it. Somehow the fields captions do not show once I do that (see picture attached). I tried using the 'Employee Tab Data Sheet' section to display the same information, and it works fine.
Any thoughts what could cause this behavior? All the fields captions have values that were configured in the data element.
Thanks
M.E.

Sorry, just re-reading from the start, you are saying this is purely dependent on the type of section you select. Right?
With "Employee Tab Contact Info", you say it doesn't show; Have you tried using Field/Value Section (Multiple)?
Also, when it doesn't work, what <presentation> is referenced in your custom section within "OrgUnitPositionEmployeeDetail.xml" (in \.delta\AppResources\detailconfiguration)?

Changing the field names in a CFQUERY object

Hello, I wonder whether you know the answer to this?
I want to change the names of the fields in a CFQUERY result
set after I have retrieved the results from the database (ie. I
can't use "AS" in the original SQL statement). I can think of 2
ways to do this - use the query-a-query (CFSQL) feature or just
build and populate a new query object, as set out below:
<cfquery name="CustList" datasource="name">
SELECT CustId,CustName,CustAddress FROM Customers
WHERE OrderStatus='P'
</cfquery>
OPTION#1:
<cfqueryname="GenericList" type="query">
SELECT CustId AS Id,CustName AS Name,CustAddress AS Address
FROM CustList
</cfquery>
OPTION#2:
<cfset GenericList = QueryNew("Id,Name,Address")>
<cfloop query="CustList">
<cfset unused = QueryAddRow(GenericList)>
<cfset unused =
QuerySetCell(GenericList,"Id",CustList.CustId)>
<cfset unused =
QuerySetCell(GenericList,"Name",CustList.CustName)>
<cfset unused =
QuerySetCell(GenericList,"Address",CustList.CustAddress)>
</cfloop>
Do you know which of these would be more efficient? And is
there a better way, whereby I can maniplulate the names of the
columns in the original query (ie. so that I can rename the
"CustName" field to "Name" and then use "CustList.Name" directly)?
Thanks!

Thanks guys!
If there is a close to zero overhead to the simple
query-a-query then that seems like the way to go, with no need to
look for a means of manipulating or modifying the original query.
The reason I want to change the field names is so that the
rest of my code can contain references to "CustList.Name" whereas
otherwise I would have to do something like
"Evaluate('CustList.#NameField#')" which is horribly messy. And the
way the original query is generated means I can't use "AS" in it,
but I still want to use the same code to work with that query
result and other query results that share similar/related data with
different field names.

Converting char data element to curr data element?

Hi,
In one of the transaction we have a custom field (Amount field) - but they used char data element for this currency field. And now in this field if we dont supply amount value in Currency format then the program is dumping.
I need to solve this situation.
1. This data element is using in lot of various tables, views and structures. So If I change this data element then how to handle rest of the object?
Do we have any other solution to solve this issue?
Please share your opinions.
Thanks a lot.
Venkat.

Hi thanks for your information.
What ever the field I am talking about in the transaction, the same field has been created in several SAP tables,structures and views. So If I change the data element for this field its going to impact all other objects?
But I am in the process of finding why this data element(currency field) has been created in char fomat.
So if I change in the data element all other tables,views do I need to activate again? or when I activate this data element is it take cares?
If I want to use field exit, as this is a custom field we can create field exit for this?
Thanks a lot for ur information.
Venkat.

Without data element can we create table

without data element is it possible to create table
if it is possible how ?
could u plz expain steps.

Hi,
Yes u can create table without data element.
In that case in place of Data element u need to specify the Predefined type.
Enter the name of field and the press on Built-In type button. This will disable the data element entry fields and enable the Built-in type field where in u can put the predefined type like CHAR, INT1 etc.

Reading from select-options field into the internal table

Hi,
I have to read the low and high ranges from the select-options fields into a field in the internal table in order to update the same field in line item table. since the user may change the screen fields, i need to pass the values directly from the screen and store it in a variable in the internal table. Is there a way to pass both ranges, low and high to one variable which holds the entire range?
Thanks,
Sruthy

Hi,
In the Selection screen you can directly read the field(Select-option)value using read statement as follows:
READ TABLE <SELECT-OPTIONS field name> [using index] INTO <work area>.
After reading you can directly access all the values as follows and can store them in the variables:
var1 = <work area>-LOW
var2 = <work area>-HIGH
var3 = <work area>-SIGN
var4 = <work area>-OPTION
as per your requirement.
I think this will help you.
