Restricting Prompt values until parent prompt is selected

OK - this should be simple,but again its causing problems. I have a prompt with a series of drop downs based on the Organisation dimension. They are restricted so that they are filtered accordinly when the values are selected. I need to go one step further and not show any values until de parent value is selected. I am trying to do this with presentation variables and then using SQL to generate the values for each prompt passing as filter the variable for the parent prompt. I am getting an errors on the "@{var_name}" syntax.
Has anyone managed to do this?

Sorry, I thought that was what you were asking for (aside from the syntax of using prompts in the SQL statement). So please clarify again. When the user selects a value in the parent prompt, that value is stored in the PV. Now, what exactly do you want the users to see in the drop down of the child prompt?
I just thought of something... Are all your prompts stored in one prompt file? If so, and the prompts are all set to Report Defaults, values in the prompts won't show until the drop down value is pressed and a value selected. Also, the prompt won't launch the report until the "Go" button is pressed. (By checking "constrain," each subsequent prompt will be properly constrained by the one before, as applicable.)
If the prompts are in separate prompt files, then above would not be true.

Restrict variable values in the pop-up selection screen

Hi,
I have a variable based on a caracteristic that has 0COMP_CODE as attribute in a Web Report (BW 3.1B).
This variable has to be accessible so that users can select a value.
I need to restrict the values that users can see on the selection screen according to their 0COMP_CODE value, even in the pop-up.
I have tryed authorization variable and user exit, but none worked.
The best I could do was a "several single values" variable that was preselected with the caracteristics of their 0COMP_CODE, but it didn't worked in the pop-up.
Does anybody knows how to handle this?

As far as I could find out, it should be made through customer exit.
The point is : I have to use a customer exit variable that has been check as "ready for input".
I can't find a way to restrict the values displayed in the variable selection screen (in the help pop-up window for this variable).
The exit can pre-fill the selection fields with values, but whenever the user opens the window, he sees all the values.
I have tryed all the values for I_STEP (0,1,2 and 3) but none did it.
Does anybody knows how to limit those values?

Hi,
Constrain is not applicable for edit box only.We can use it for drop down list and multi select also.Other wise go for the presentation variable.

I get prompted to select a scanner and a scan profile/preset each time I try to scan a document to PDF using Adobe Acrobat Pro.

Hello,
I have a fujitsu scanner (fi-6140) connected to my computer and have the "Scan" button on the scanner associated with Adobe Acrobat. And so when I press the "Scan" button on the scanner to scan a document, it launches Adobe Acrobat Pro automatically. Then I get prompted to select a scanner/device and a scan profile. It seems to remember the last-used scanner/device, however; it still prompts me each time to confirm the scanner/device selected and select a scan profile to use. Is there a way to save both the scanner & scan profile information and so when I click the "Scan" button, it doesn't prompt me to select but starts scanning using the last-used settings automatically?
Thank you.

Hi,
Are you facing the issue with any pdf file?
Please try updating Acrobat to 11.0.7 and check.
You might also want to repair Acrobat and see.

I replaced the original hdd in my early 2008 iMac. I can't move my files that were backed up with Time Machine to my new hdd using Migration Assistant. When prompted to select the "from drive", the ext. hhd does not appears as a selection. Please help!!

I'd recommend staring over, Pondini has created an excellent guide on how to use Setup Assistant. I'd recommend begin reading Pondini Setup Assistant tips where he talks about "Second Chance." Assuming your Time Machine backup is sound the restore should be very smooth.

Desktop (Workstation) setup - Getting error prompt for "Select Policy #:" and can't proceed.

Hi,
I'm trying to configure a new MRL with the Workstation. The ini and jdt files seem to be working ok as I have gendata kicking the transaction to wip. There's a NA and POL file in my WIP directory:
The problem is when I try to work workstation, I select the transaction but get a prompt to select a policy #. The Policy # block is grayed out. Ideas? I'm thinking something in my config files need to be mapped to Policy Number by default?
Thanks!

It looks like you are using custom fields/columns in WIP.DFD. In such case you need to map KEY1, KEY2 and KEYID in the INI file to the columns in your WIP.DFD.
I don't remember exactly what INI group these go into but here are a couple examples:
< ArcRet >
    Key1                          = COMPANY
    Key2                          = LOB
    KeyId                         = DOCID
< WIPData >
    Key1                          = Company
    Key2                          = Lob
    KEYID                         = DOCID
My money on WIPDATA group. The Company, Lob and DOCID are columns in WIP.DFD in these examples. Specifically error means there is no KEYID mapping in your case.

Pass values to parent report's parameter when click "Return to prev.."

We have one report A which has parameters(use prompt to select value, not URL) to filter data, A has drill across action to report B(replace current report), we now can pass A's parameters to B.
But if we click the "Return to previous Report" in B, all parameters in A dismiss. A report lose parameters used before, and we do not know how to pass parameter to A again, (all action must replace current report)
Edited by: Jeffrey Yan on Mar 8, 2010 6:49 PM

While creating prompt for Report A, you can set its default value (in prompt window before the last step where it lists all the values from the data object, you can click on the value and then click the arrow button). This way, when you return to A from B, at least it will open up with the default prompt value.

Restrict time value in calendar

Hi..
How to display the calendar value without time
When I select the date in calendar it displayed without time but when I hit the go button the time value is added in the prompt values.
How to achieve it?

Thanks Goran,
Now its working...
but when I set the current date as default value it shows the date in following format in a dashboard
yyyy-MM-yy (At first time only when I select any date and hit go button , MM/dd/yyyy format is used)
I am using following code in default to -> Sql results
select case 1=0 then line.date else current_date end from GM
here line.date is date datatype
I have tried your to_char function as follows
select case when 1=0 then cast(line.date as char) else evaluate('to_char(%1%2)' as varchar(20),current_date,'mm/dd/yyyy') end from GM
I got the following error

How to restrict the values in seach helps

Dear All,
I am new to the BSP concept.I have a requirement
where in the BSP i need to restrict the values of the search help.i.e. 2 values are coming in the help i need to display only 1 value.
can anybody please explain how to do it.
Cheers,

Edited by: Craig Cmehil on Sep 2, 2008 8:21 AM

Hi,
I assume that you read values for the search help with function 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST' and in a later step you display values with <htmlb:tableview>. If that is true and the function is delivering too many records as you mention, you could then restrict the output table of values like this:
TABLES mara.
DATA: mytable TYPE TABLE OF ddshretval WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA l_repid TYPE syrepid.
PARAMETERS p_mtart LIKE mara-mtart.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST
FOR p_mtart.
l_repid = sy-repid.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'
EXPORTING
tabname = 'MARA'
fieldname = 'MTART'
dynpprog = l_repid
callback_program = l_repid
callback_form = 'F4CALLBACK'
TABLES
return_tab = mytable
EXCEPTIONS
field_not_found = 1
no_help_for_field = 2
inconsistent_help = 3
no_values_found = 4
OTHERS = 5.

Restrict the user should not allow to select No Excise entry tab in MIGO

Hi
how to restrict the user should not allow to select No Excise entry tab in MIGO
if the material Excisable user can bale to select the No Excise entry tab in MIGO . my requirement .... if the Pop come Please enter Excise Invoice number and Excise Invoice Date user should not change the No Excise how to restrict pls advise me
@sakhi

These are the options provided by SAP keeping in mind Indian Scenario. Sometimes, vendor forget to send excise invoice copy with the material, in such case, you can select 'Only Part I'.
Even if you have maintain vendor excise details & material excise details (By mistake) in J1ID, system will throw an error message, excise invoice value is zero. In such case, we can select option 'No excise entry'.
Your requirement can't be fulfilled in standard way. Even if you go for any Z- developement, you will lose the option.

Restrict no. of entries in the multiple selection of DOCNUM of EDID4 tab

Hi,
Is it possible to restrict number of entries in the multiple selection of DOCNUM of EDID4 table.
i.e., Select the content button on se11 for EDID4 table. We can see the selection screen of the table. Press the multiple selection button of 'DOCNUM', we get a popup. Is it possible to restrict the no. of docnum entry to 500. If i enter more that 500 entries, it should popup a message.
Please share your ideas. I am working on 4.6c.
Points will be rewarded.
Thank you.
Regards,
Ramesh

Hi Atish,
Thanks for your reply. I checked for BAdis. But I couldnt find. Is there any other ways of doing this?
User is trying to import the docnum values from presentation server file using the 'Import from text file' icon on multiple selection popup. As the no. of docnum were 4500, during the execution of this process, other process trying to connect to oracle is going for short dump with message 'Run-time error (Oracle error code: ORA-4031)'. So user wanted to restrict it to 500.
Hope my explanation is clear.

Ramesh

Can you please mark my answers correct......if they were helpful to you.....
That would be so nice of you....:-)
and regarding your next requirement, You should create a new table which will contain Date, Worker Number and any other details that you want.
In the form, for every date for which you want to enter the data, you will select the max(date) before the current date and maximum worker number for that selected date and then from that number you can select next 15/20 workers or whatever your number is.
e.g. for the first time if you want to enter data for 01-jul-2010 and you have work for 15 workers, you will select max(date) where date<01-jul-2010, but you will not find any bcoz this is your first entry. So wat you will do is will start popupating your grid from number 1-15.
Next day you will select max(date) where date<02-jul-2010, you will find 01-jul-2010. Then you will select max(number) for 01-jul-2010, you will find 15. So populate your grid from number 16-30 (whatever your number is). and so on.
Hope it helps you...
Please mark my answer Helpful or correct and Please create a new thread for new question

Hi Ravi,
You cannot restrict values on the display attributes. Better change it to navigational attribute and check the box as navigational in the cube.
