System variable in query

Hi, all-
I'm trying to set up a query for my users that don't have access to customer aging reports. I need them to run this query to see how many days past due the customer is before we ship an order.
I think I need to add the system variable 65 (Days Overdue), but not sure how to add it to an SAP query.
Using 2007A patch 42.
thanks in advance,
Shelby

The system variables are accessible only in system defined forms. They are received from the program running in the background.
In the queries you write you can only access data base fields. And sometimes from these you can derive the same value that the system variable contains.

Assigning System variables in query designer

Hi all,
My requirement is that For a field CALENDAR DAY, i Want to set the default values so that it displays the data for last seven days from the current system date by using sy-datum. This should be done without using customer exit logic.Can anyone tel me how can this be done in Bex query designer.

Hi Imanik,
I think using custom exit to arrive to a solution of your issue is the most efficient way as of now.
Alternatively you can write a routine in ETL Where in you can check if Sy-Datum - 7 <= Calday, then you can have a field Flag in Infoprovider which would be populated by X in this case. Later on in Bex you can have a filter on Calday = X. But this scenario works only when you are doing:
1. A full load.
2. You are running the query on the same day you are doing this full load.

Using System Variables in a SQL Query

Hi!
I´m new to Oracle and SQL so i don´t know very much about it.
There is miy Problem:
Is there a way to Use the System Variable %USERNAME% in an SQL Query?
I tried .... where table.shorttag = '%USERNAME%' ;
but this doesnt work.
Is Oracle able to handle Systemvariables? Or is there another way to use the current Windows User in an SQL Query.
It is very Important to use the current Windows user and not the Oracle user.
Thank you,
Mfg

Are you looking for something like this ?
SQL> SELECT sys_context('USERENV', 'OS_USER') FROM dual;
SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','OS_USER
SAUBBANE\IBM
SQL> SELECT sys_context('USERENV', 'TERMINAL') FROM dual;
SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','TERMINA
SAUBBANEAlso you can look at the dbms_application_info package.

Depending on exactly what you mean, the code you posted will work; just fill in the columns you want in place of "...".
If I don't know where you're starting from, and I don't know where you want to go, then I can't give you very precise directions.
Explain what you're trying to do. Remember, the people who want to help you don't know what environment you're working in (e.g., SQL*Plus, PL/SQL, Apex, ...), they don't know anything about your application, and they don't exactly what you want. The more you help them, the more they can help you.
Why not post a question that really explains what you need to do? For example: "I have a table like scott.emp, that has multiple departments. Users will always be interested in only 1 departement at a time. I would like them to run standard, fixed queries, such as ... but have the results only apply to the department they are interested in, as if they had executed ... Several users may be on the system at the same time, and they won't necessarily be interested in the same department. I'm doing this in SQL*Plus now, but I may want to do something similar in Apex. My Orace version is ...".

System build-in or system variable to get number of records from a query

Hi,
Is there a system build-in or system variable to get number of records from a Oracle Forms query?
Thank you

Namely, when GO_BLOCK(BLOCK_NAME) EXECUTE QUERY finishes, is there a way directly get the number of the records?
SYSTEM.COURSOR_RECORD = 1 tells this is the first record
SYSTEM.LAST_RECORD = 'TRUE' tells this is the last record
Thanks

Document Date - System Variable - AP Checks?

Hi Experts,
I have searched for previous queries in the SDN B1 forum regarding my query.
I need to use a system variable in the cheque print area instead of posting date of documents the DOCUMENT DATE is required. I cannot find a DOC. Date system variables
Please can onyone highlight me if SAP has released a new System Variable list that include DOCUMENT DATE. The below links are what i had searched on.
[PLD Check Print - System variable for document date and amount;
[System variables in Check format;
Is this an limitation on variables?
Thanks,
Raju

Hi Raju,
as a workaround you can do the following
1. create a UDF in the Paid Document section, of a Date type
2. create a user defined value :
SELECT case $[$20.45.1]
when 18 then (SELECT T0.[TaxDate] FROM OPCH T0 WHERE
T0.Docnum = $[$20.1.0])
when 19 then (SELECT T0.[TaxDate] FROM ORPC T0 WHERE
T0.Docnum = $[$20.1.0])
end
set the trigger to be when when field change: on customer / vendor code
In the check PLD show this UDF. Use the table VPM2 : Outgoing payments - invoices, column : your UDF
Hope this helps

Systems variables

what are systems variables ?
Regards,
Jagan

ABAP system fields are always available in ABAP programs. The runtime system fills them according to context. They can then be used in programs to query the system status. System fields are variables but you should always treat them as though they were constants, and only read them. If you change their values, important information for the flow of the program may be lost. In exceptional circumstances, system fields may be overwritten in an ABAP program to control the system for example, SY-LSIND (for navigating to a detail list).
With one exception the names and data types of the system fields are stored in the ABAP Dictionary in the SYST structure and realized as components of the predefined structure SY in ABAP programs.
The system field SY-REPID is not part of SYST or SY. Instead, every program contains the predefined constants SY-REPID and SYST-REPID, which both contain the name of the corresponding program. Furthermore, there are two predefined types of the same name, SY-REPID and SYST-REPID.
All system fields are addressed using SY field name and their types using SYST field name.

Oracle Forms System Variable

Has anybody ever come across a system variable called TAB_PAGE_CHANGE_METHOD? What values can this variable take and how can i set it?

Namely, when GO_BLOCK(BLOCK_NAME) EXECUTE QUERY finishes, is there a way directly get the number of the records?
SYSTEM.COURSOR_RECORD = 1 tells this is the first record
SYSTEM.LAST_RECORD = 'TRUE' tells this is the last record

Setting system variable in the Detailed Aging PLD report

Does anyone know which variable I can use to get the FC value displayed on the Aged Debtors PLD detailed form?
The current aging layout (in SBO) either shows it all in LC or in the currency you choose, but if you have a Business Partner who trades in different currencies and you have invoices raised in those different currencies you cannot see the value for each currency seperately, which is causing some distress.
I was hoping that by some miraculous twist of fate I can include the FC value in the PLD report thereby saving the hassle of having to re-write the report. (I have checked the System Variable Excel spreadsheet but cannot find it in there.)
Many thanks
Hayden

How to Find System Variables

Hi All
I need to Find the Hidden Variable i.e., System Variable in a Document like A/R Invoice,A/P Invoice etc
how can we know the variable no.
Thanks in Advance

Hi madhu,
Usually, the variable number is the only thing you do know. You can go about in two way to find out to what field it relates to
1. Use the System Variables .xls file to know the field description(not the name). Then open PLD, in a report that uses the same table, and browse through the fields until you find a field with the same description. That field list also indicates the field´s name.
2. Query the table in question and browse through the columns till you find the desired field.
If there is a more direct way, I also would like to find out.

Doubt in system variable.

hi,
i want to know what is system.record_status and value like changed,insert,new,query and where all it is used.
what is differnce between system.record_status and get_record_property.

Hi
A system variable_ is an Oracle Forms variable that keeps track of an internal Oracle Forms state. You can reference the value of a system variable to control the way an application behaves.
Oracle Forms maintains the values of system variables on a per form basis. That is, the values of all system variables correspond only to the current form.
SYSTEM.BLOCK_STATUS_ represents the status of a Data block where the cursor is located,or the current data block during trigger processing.
The value can be one of three character strings:
CHANGED     Indicates that the block contains at least one Changed record.
NEW     Indicates that the block contains only New records.
QUERY     Indicates that the block contains only Valid records that have been
retrieved from the database.Regards,
Abdetu...

Error in using System Variable

Dear all,
I want to use System Variable 225 ( VAT percent (per VAT code) ) which is used in one of document i.e. "VAT Only Invoice".
When I used it in my Invoice document the following error occurs:
Printing Error : Invalid Variable number (RPT -6300)(Field:F_XXX) Variable 'XXX'
Please help me to use this System Variable in my Invoice.
Note: I have already read "How To Use the PLD Variables File in Release 2007 A" .pdf file.
can any one tell the meaning of folowing which is in the sheet "vars utilisation" of PLD_Vars_march2007 xls file
" it means that this variable can be used only under certain repetitive area exclusive numbers (109, 126, 132, 135, 139, 148, 149, 309, 316, 427, 502, 509, 686)
Regards,
Ghazanfar
Edited by: Ghazanfar Ahmed on Jun 18, 2009 12:16 PM

Hi,
It is a special variable available for the VAT summary part, not to be used in the rows but in a separate repetitive area.
To display the respective VAT rates in each row, create a database field instead: Tax Definition - Rate%. It will populate the VAT percentage for you.

Nat
