Selection Options feature for variable input in BEx in 7.0 version

Hi All,
We are currently in EHP1 BI 701 software version. We have queries in both 3.x and 7.0 version. The variable screen that we get when we execute the report in 3.x and 7.0 is different.
We have selection options in 3.x (We can copy and paste values (non sequential) from an excel sheet for example during variable input) but I'm not seeing the same in 7.0 queries.
Please suggest if it's a configuration/software issue or i'm missing something here.
Regards,
Vivek

Hi,
I would like to inform you that you will not get the same button as in 3.x . But when you open the F4 screen and then you have
to click on the More Button.
Two ways you can copies:
To past from clipboard follow these steps:
1. Click on the u201CMore >>u201D button.
2. Click on the right box to set the focus.
3. Ctrl + V.
To import from a txt file follow these steps:
1. Click on the u201CMore >>u201D button.
2. Right click on the right box and choose u201CUpload selectionsu201D option.
3. Select the txt you want to import.
All the values will be copied on the Right Pane.
Thanks,
Venkat

Selection option for variable entry in BEx in 2004s

Hi All,
Have any of you noticed that the selection option functionality for variable entry while creating a variable does not allow wild card entry,Even though you create the variable with selection option as input.
In 3.5 we had option the option "contains the pattern " but in 2004s its not available in the variable entry screen.

Hello Guys,
When I posted this thread we were upgrading to SP11, now I am in the middle of another upgrade (SP15) and I still notice that wild card option is yet to be made available for a variable of type selection option.
Back then I had sent a message to SAP and was told that the functionality would be rolled out in new SP's. I am very curious as too how others are handling this problem, as they are bound to be reports for which such variables are a must.
P.S - The option has been made available

Dynamic field selection by variable input in bex report

Hi Frineds,
          I have created variable on characteristic ( 0CURTYPE ) which mainly have two values 'A' and ' B' .Based on my variable input in Bex I have to dynamical select key figuers Example .
0CURTYPE    KeyfigA KeyFigB
A                    123 Rs   144 $
B                     124 Rs   145 $
        In above example is user select A I have to display KeyfigA   if I select B then i should display Keyfig B in Bex report .
I know that by using user exit in report we can do but I would like to try with out Exit .
Thanks ,
Kumar.

Your formula variable allowed to be of type either number or amount or date or quantity which are all numeric(currency type/type tab) .But your reference characteristics is a letter.So there is an inconsistency here and you can not make equal your formula variable and 0currtype's variable.
Have a look at Akshata's post in this thread :How to create formula variables in sap bi?
Therefore this model does not work and I can not see any other way apart from a very simple user exit which says if 0currype=A, then formula variable=0 else if 0currtype=B then formula variable=1.After that you can use your formula variable in your formula since the letters are now converted to numbers.
By the way it mustn't ask two things in the selection screen.Since your formula variable takes the values of 0currtype's variable automatically.Did you create the formula variable with replacement path(general tab) referencing to 0currtype?Just create a formula, enter this formula,right click create formula variable,go to general tab then replacement path then reference to 0currtype.But as I told, you nevertheless can not achieve it, just explaining it.

Sunny

Select-option of a variable is acting wierd in web report

Hi,
I am getting the following error in web report when I click a select option button of variable. Has any of you come across this situation ?
Error: <b>"System error in program CL_RSR_WWW_RENDERER and form GET_VARDEF_FOR_F4:03 (see long text)"</b>
We are on BI 7.0.
The ABAP code in the above mentioned Class & method are in sync with a relevant OSS note 671405.
This is kind of wierd to me as it doesn't give any error when I run the same report in our QA Portal, It is happening only in our BW Production system.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
MG

The OSS note you specified is for 3.x and you mentioned you are on nw2004s.
Whats the Support pack you on currently.
I saw couple oss for SP-8 and 9 for the error you mentioned howver ,I presume you should be minimum on SP-10 ,so those may not help.
You may wish to take a look at OSS below-
Note 1018019 - Hierarchy node selection without hierarchy in web F4(7.X)
PS- As a part of sanity check if your QA and PROD are on same support pack.
Hope it Helps

SELECT-OPTIONS sel FOR Internal Table

Hello,
I would like to use select-options. Normally you can specify a selection tab (sel) and a row of an table being registered in the ABAP dictionary.
I would like to use an internal table instead.
First I read data into the internal table. Next I would refer on one column of that internal using the select-options:
SELECT * FROM database-tab INTO itab
WHERE key1 = 'a'.
SELECT-OPTIONS: sel FOR itab.
It does not work, although the internal table is filled!!!
Can I use internal tables with select-options?
thx, holger

Hallo Holger,
i think i get it now - thanks Amit !
here's an example:
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR matnr-low.
SELECT matnr maktg FROM m_mat1t
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE f4_itab
WHERE mtart = 'DIEN'.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
       EXPORTING
            retfield     = 'MATNR'
            dynpprog     = sy-repid
            dynpnr       = sy-dynnr
            dynprofield = 'MATNR'
            window_title = 'select material no.'
            value_org    = 'S'
       TABLES
            value_tab    = f4_itab[].

SELECT-OPTIONS: s_aedtm FOR zxi_errpt-aedtm default sy-datum - 30

I'm trying to figure out how to use the sy-datum - 30 days on the selection screen. Can soeone give me a suggestion on how to alter the sy-datum as it would appear on the selection screen?
SELECT-OPTIONS: s_aedtm FOR zxi_errpt-aedtm default sy-datum - 30 NO-EXTENSION
NO INTERVALS OBLIGATORY
Thanks!

Hello Riki,
There was a minor typo !!!
SELECT-OPTIONS: s_date FOR sy-datum NO-EXTENSION NO INTERVALS OBLIGATORY.
INITIALIZATION.
s_date-sign = 'I'.
s_date-option = 'EQ'.
s_date-low = sy-datum - 30.
APPEND s_date.
the append would not work
I never knew this !!!!

Query - select values for variables form list / Bex 7

Hello together,
when I open a query in the 'Business Explorer Analyzer 7' and I want to select the values for my variables from list, BW shows always the values from history.
Is it possible to change this? I want to see always the single values.
Thanks and best regards.
Jörg

Hello Jörg
The variable values in history are shown in drill down button of variable input box, whereas a button beside it will show a list of values when clicked. These are F4 value help selections.
How is variable created? Please create variable with basic settings as
'single value'.

Funtion Module for user exits for variables used in BEx Queries.

Hi,
This is for BW Query customer exit variable (zvar2) for include ZXRSRU01 and exit :EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001.
Can anyone please suggest the function modules that can be used to do the following.
1)Read value of zvar1 from selection screen whatever
user enters at run time.
2)How to define the zvar2 in the include. zvar2 is the
variable created in BEx to be populated from this
customer exit.
3)How to use case statment where once the value for zvar1
is determined then,
Case zvar1.
when zvar1 = 0 , then zvar2 = 10
when zvar1 = 1 , then zvar2 = 20
3) Assign zvar2 value as computed in the case statement.
Can anyone please help with the code to achieve this.
Any information regarding function modules that can help write user exits for variable reading and input will be greatly helpful.
Thanks
Sarah.

Hi Sarah,
You don't need any FM for your issue.
Please try thie sample code :
DATA: VAR_INPIUT LIKE RRRANGEEXIT.
CASE I_VNAM.
WHEN 'ZVAR2'.
   CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
   IF I_STEP = 2."PROCESSED AFTER VARIABLE INPUT
*Reading value of ZVAR1
    LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO VAR_INPIUT
      WHERE VNAM = 'ZVAR1'.
      CASE VAR_INPIUT-LOW.
*FILLING ZVAR2
       WHEN 0.
          L_S_RANGE-LOW     = 10.
       WHEN 1.
          L_S_RANGE-LOW     = 20.
      ENDCASE.
      L_S_RANGE-SIGN     = 'I'.
      L_S_RANGE-OPT      = 'EQ'.
      APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
      EXIT.
    ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
Hope this helps

Can I change the select option text for pnp ldb ?

hi Akll,
I am using a pnp logical database in my report and I have created my own hr category because i wanted to use field ename from the ldb in the selection screen. Now the problem with ename is I cant do a case sensitive search.
So I have replaced it with sname, so now my screen has sname instead of ename, however I want to change the selection text for select option ( at present it is 'EE name can be sorted' )
Kindly advise,
thanks,
GV

I guess the text cannot be changed.. anyways you can add the field as an additional field by normal coding in your report

Single select option in launch variables

Hi,
I am using hyperion 9.3.0 , i have written a HBR , but the problem is that the launch varaibles are giving multiple select option , how can i restrict the launch variable to have a single select option only.the launch varaibles are global varaibles. do i need to do some changes in the global varaible or the HBR and what changes would be required.thanks in advance.

Maybe you have set the variable to be members instead of type member.

Fill a "select options" from a direct input.

Hi there
my new need is this, into a report I call a transaction (FMMC) and I'd like to fill a multiple selection into a select option (belnr) , there is a way to do only an execution of this "batch" or I have to launch the transaction for every document I have to release ?
Thanks

See the sample code
*Code used to populate 'select-options' & execute report
DATA: seltab type table of rsparams,
      seltab_wa like line of seltab.
seltab_wa-selname = 'PNPPERNR'.
seltab_wa-sign    = 'I'.
seltab_wa-option = 'EQ'.
load each personnel number accessed from the structure into
parameters to be used in the report
loop at pnppernr.
    seltab_wa-low = pnppernr-low.
    append seltab_wa to seltab.
endloop.
SUBMIT zreport with selection-table seltab
                                via selection-screen.
*Code used to populate 'parameters' & execute report
SUBMIT zreport with p_param1 = 'value'
                with p_param2 = 'value'.

Authorizations for variable input

Hi all.
I am facing the problem restricting users to input variables in BEX and BPS-SEM
The situation is that I can restrict the variables user can choose from the list (F4 input help) using S_TABU_LIN. The user sees only that masterdata values that he is authorized. Everything is fine, but... If user enters value directly, there is no check performed on mastedata. User actually can enter any value that exists in masterdata. The same situation in SEM forms.
I need to restrict user to be able to choose only particular values (separate list for each user/role)

Try executing NW2004s transaction RSECADMIN
and investigate using option Analysis-->Execution as with the particular user and the options available ...individually.
Hope it Helps

Is it possible to make new selection option check for datasource?

Hi Experts,
I have a standard datasource and i want selective data form this datasource but the field on which i want selection is not provided as selection checked in the datasource.
Is there any option in BW side so that i can have that field as selection in the infopackage.
Regards,
RG

Hi
Info Package Selection Tab is the Replication of DS at Source System Extract structure.
But making changes to the Standard DS may drive you into Errors in future, make sure that you are not locking / changing the dependent objects if you are changing the Options while DS at Source system RSA5/RSA6.
You need to replicate / Reinit for the changes you made for DS.
Hope it helps
