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.

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

Oracle environment variables
The following environment variables are valid for Oracle::
ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_BASE (optional)
ORA_NLS (optional)
NLS_LANG (optional)
TNS_ADMIN (optional)
Source:http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.ii.foundation.conn.fw.orc.doc/configuring/iiylsorcenvvars.html
ORACLE_SID is the name of the database instance that you are using.
T2KDEV is set to the type of terminal you are using; sun if you are using openwindows; xsun if you are using X windows.
TERM is set to the type of terminal you are using. Note: If you are using openwindows, you may have to redefine the variable TERM to sun (instead of cmd-sun) and you should execute ORACLE from a shelltool.
TWO_TASK is set to the location where ORACLE server can be found and will normally be the name of the database instance. This variable helps simplify the command line for starting ORACLE tools.

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 ...".

Unable to see system variable no in sap b1 due to watch

Dear Sir,
In SAP B1
I am generating report Customer Aging Report.
In PLD Customer Code is displaying buy i am unable to display customer name in PLD because when i am unable to see
system variable number.
The watch cover that variable no. how can i find system variable no.
is there any other method to see system variable no.

Hi,
what you are seeing in system-> status is not the installation number that is the status of your system's SAP License
when you have not installed the license properly after the installation, it shows the status as initial
go to SM51
there you can find the instance number along with the Hostname_SID_InstNumber of your server

System variables not showing correctly in body pages

Can anyone help with a problem I'm having with system variables please?
I have created a template and multiple documents which all use a system variable for placing the chapter number and page number in the footer: <$chapnum>-<$curpagenum>
I have just created a new document and want to use the same variable on the main pages of the document but I want to use a different page number variable on the TOC. For some reason now, when I create a new variable of <$curpagenum> it doesn't show correctly on the document; it's showing as: <$curpagenum
I've also tried using the format of <$chapnum>-<$curpagenum> that has worked on other documents but now this shows in the document footer as: <$chapnum<$curpagenum
Has anyone seen this problem before?
Thanks

Hi Art, thanks for the reply.
In my original documents I'd edited the Current Page system variable from <$curpagenum> to <$chapnum>-<$curpagenum>. This worked correctly.
In the new document I tried both the picking-and-clicking method and typing the string to get the same footer but neither worked.
I've now changed it as you suggested, selecting the two seperate system variables of <$chapnum> and then <$curpagenum> and this seems to have solved the problem.
I'll know to keep things simple in future!
Thanks.

Problem in picking the system variable value in Calculation Script

Hi All,
We are using a Calculation Script to perform data export. And the target location where to crete the exported output file is given to the environment system variable.
Now I am using this system variable in the calculation script as below:
//ESS_LOCALE English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary
SET DATAEXPORTOPTIONS
DataExportLevel "ALL";
DataExportOverwriteFile ON;
Fix ( &CurrMiles, &CurrProj, &CurrVer,"No Project","No Version")
DATAEXPORT "File" " " $DEXPORTPATH;
ENDFIX
Here "DEXPORTPATH" is the system variable
I am creating this system variable from the batch script and the system variable value varies at the runtime.
This calculation script works fine for first time and it picks the correct value from the system variable.
But the problem occurs from next execution of calc script. Even if i update the system variable with other value, it picks only the last execution system variable value and it performs execution.
Eg: Suppose for first execution system variable value is "D:\Bkup\PMV.txt"
The calc script works fine with this.
For next execution, system variable value is changed to "D:\Time\temp.txt"
Now the calc script picks the system variable value as "D:\Bkup\PMV.txt"
and performs execution which is wrong.
Please help me on this issue how to handle system variables in calc scripts.
Thanks in advance

Update the system variable..
Log off from the session..

How to point the classpath to "CLASSPATH" system variable?

Hi Experts!
I'm trying to create a web dynpro application for sending a simple email using the tutorial that can be found here.
I was actually able to make the program work using Java Swing, but not in my web dynpro implementation.
According to the tutorial, the jar files should be located at "CLASSPATH" system variables to make things work.
When I tried printing the URL of the classpath of the web dynpro app, it is pointing to a different location from what I have defined in the system.
I have created the "CLASSPATH" system variable at "C:\CLASSPATH\lib" with the jar files on it. Here's the correct classpath using my swing application:
/C:/CLASSPATH/lib/commons-beanutils-1.8.3.jar
/C:/CLASSPATH/lib/commons-codec-1.4.jar
/C:/CLASSPATH/lib/commons-collections-3.2.1.jar
/C:/CLASSPATH/lib/commons-configuration-1.7.jar
/C:/CLASSPATH/lib/commons-digester-1.8.1.jar
/C:/CLASSPATH/lib/commons-httpclient-3.1.jar
/C:/CLASSPATH/lib/commons-lang-2.6.jar
/C:/CLASSPATH/lib/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
/C:/CLASSPATH/lib/ewsjavaapi-1.1.5.jar
/C:/CLASSPATH/lib/javamail-ews-bridge-0.0.8.jar
/C:/CLASSPATH/lib/jcifs-1.3.15.jar
/C:/CLASSPATH/lib/mail-1.4.jar
/C:/CLASSPATH/lib/slf4j-api-1.6.4.jar
But the web dynpro app is pointing at different directories.
@Printing project classpath...
/E:/usr/sap/GOS/J03/exe/jstart71.jar
/E:/usr/sap/GOS/J03/exe/sapjvm_5/lib/jvmx.jar
/E:/usr/sap/GOS/J03/exe/sapjvm_5/lib/jvmx_tools.jar
/E:/usr/sap/GOS/J03/exe/jre/lib/iqlib.jar
/E:/usr/sap/GOS/J03/exe/sapjvm_5/lib/tools.jar
/E:/usr/sap/GOS/J03/j2ee/cluster/bin/boot/sap.com~tc~bl~jkernel_boot~impl.jar
/E:/usr/sap/GOS/J03/j2ee/cluster/bin/boot/jaas.jar
/E:/usr/sap/GOS/J03/j2ee/cluster/bin/system/sap.com~tc~bl~bytecode~library.jar
/E:/usr/sap/GOS/J03/j2ee/cluster/bin/boot/memoryanalyzer.jar
This is the code I used for printing the classpath:
ClassLoader cl = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();
URL[] urls = ((URLClassLoader) cl).getURLs();
for (URL url : urls) {
System.out.println(url.getFile());
How can I set the correct classpath to the "CLASSPATH" system variable?

Erwin,
You wil need to add the jar files to a Library DC and then reference them in your Web Dynpro app.
Take a look at this tutorial
