Temporary Variables

Im sure theres an easy solution to this and that I must be looking at it the wrong way.In my calc script, Ive created a temporary variable called BC_uf_wages containing the following members. My actual outline for the urban fare has many members. Ive also setup a province attribute splitting the urban fare locations into BC and Alberta. But how do I bring that attribute into my temporary variable if I just want BC (without creating an alternatie rollup)? BC_uf_wages="bp1-2002"->cod->"WAGES/SALARIES*"->"urban fare";Thanks in advanceRFung

Doubt in Decode and Using Temporary variable

I was facing the following issue,
For example,
The column_name if A should be stored with the value B or, with itself for which I included a statement as following,
Case [1]
SELECT ....DECODE(column_name,'A','B',column_name) alias_name
     FROM table_name
          WHERE condition;
But,
when i used a temporary variable as following i could not get the expected change,
Case [2]
SELECT ...column_name
     FROM table_name
          WHERE condition;
temp VARCHAR(10);
BEGIN
IF column_name='A' THEN
     temp:='B';
ELSE
     temp:=column_name;
END IF;
END;
I was able to get the right output in Case[1],but failed to get in [2]. Please help and Thanks in advance.

Without seeing your code, whatever I can say might be just an assumption. I can give an example to show that it will work.
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
DECLARE
var      VARCHAR2(10);
col_name VARCHAR2(30);
TEMP     VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
SELECT column_name
INTO col_name
FROM user_tab_columns
WHERE table_name = 'EMP'
AND rownum       =1;
IF (col_name     ='EMPNO') THEN
    temp          := 'X';
ELSE
    temp := col_name;
END IF;
var := 'abc '||temp;
dbms_output.put_line(var);
END;
OUTPUT :
abc X

Using a Temporary Variable in PCR

Hi All
Please suggest for the following.
How can I use a temporary variable in a PCR.
Say if I need to transfer the AMT of WT 4100 to a variable like 'XYZ=4100' in PCR.....What variable I can use and what is the correct syntex for this. And how can I use the same variable for further calculations.
Please suggest.

Hi Friends
Thanks for your precious suggestions.
I understood your point but if I need to transfer the value of a wage type in a variable as mentioned below then how can I do that....
4000
OUTWPPERSB
Z1
XYZ=/102 (Value of /102 should be transfered to XYZ so that can be used for further processing. Or If there is other way to solve this then please suggest.)
Here this PCR should work only if there is a Wage Type 4000. And when it finds 4000 in Payroll and enter into this PCR then wage type /102 should be multiplied with a constant stored in T511K & the result of that should be stored in 5000. '/102' should not change.
Please suggest

Temporary variables in business rule in essbase

hi,
I want to add temporary variable in my business rule. I have declared the variable as below:
VAR TaxRate;
"ROA Tax Rate"
TaxRate = "ROA Tax Rate"->"GLBU_CVD CONSOLIDATED"->"OU_NUTRITIONAL CHEM"->"All DEPTS"->"Working"->"Forecast"->&FcstYear->"USD"->&FcstMths;
It is validatoing correctly but when I am running the rule it is giving the error as:
Error executing formula for [ROA Tax Rate] (line 18): Cannot assign [DOUBLE] objects of different length
A I doing something wrong with the declaration? (ROA Tax Rate is the member name)
Please suggest.

Hi,
Try this,
VAR TAXRATE = #MISSING;
"ROA Tax Rate"
TAXRATE= "GLBU_CVD CONSOLIDATED"->"OU_NUTRITIONAL CHEM"->"All DEPTS"->"Working"->"Forecast"->&FcstYear->"USD"->&FcstMths;
//Intersection of your data; (i.e., A->B->C)

Unable to Declare a Temporary Variable in Calc Script

We are using Hyperion System 9 BI+ Analytic Administration Services. 9.2.03.0.44
I am trying to declare a temporary variable in a calculation script.
We have found several guides and examples in the support documentation that give us a step by step instruction on how to 1.) declare the variable, then 2.) Assign a value.
Example:
/* Declare the variable */
VAR TotalAllocDept;
/* Baseline Fix */
FIX ("FY10","Jan","BU Version_1", "Actual", "NoProd", "NoCust")
/* Assign a value to the variable */
TotalAllocDept = ("Alloc_HR"+"Alloc_IT"+"Alloc_FIN");
ENDFIX
/* Allocate overhead based on Total Alloc Dept Variable */
FIX ("FY10","Jan","BU Version_1", "Actual", "NoProd", "NoCust")
"Alloc_5xSS" = @ALLOCATE("Alloc_Overhead","Account", TotalAllocDept,, share);
ENDFIX
However, when we try to check the syntax, we are given various error messages such as:
Error parsing FIX STATEMENT "invalid object type" and
"Invalid member name" and
Invalid Calc Script syntax.
Can anyone suggest some techniques that we can try or alternative ways of entering the text to make it possible for us to use temporary variables?

A variable must be declared within a calc member block and can only exist for the scope of that block.
This would work (not that you would necessarily want it)"
/* Allocate overhead based on Total Alloc Dept Variable */
FIX ("FY10","Jan","BU Version_1", "Actual", "NoProd", "NoCust")
"Alloc_5xSS"
TotalAllocDept = ("Alloc_HR""Alloc_IT""Alloc_FIN");
"Alloc_5xSS" = @ALLOCATE("Alloc_Overhead","Account", TotalAllocDept,, share);
ENDFIX

Creating a Temporary Variable

How can I create a Temporary Variable to be used in the WHERE Clause of a Select statement. Can you please post an example of this. Thanks!

In what context?
It looks like what you have here is SQL. The SQL language doesn't have variables as such.
If you put this into PL/SQL, which would involve selecting the data into some local variables or putting the select in a cursor, then you could certainly use a local PL/SQL variable in the WHERE clause, as I demonstrated above.
If you want to put this into a script that would be called from SQL*Plus, you could use the substitution variable example above.
If you are trying to put this somewhere else, you're going to have to be a bit more specific...

[b]how to assign whole expression to a temporary variable[/b][/b]

Good afternun. Can someone help me how to assign the whole expression to a temporary variable. The expression is
id = catDao.findByPK(info.getCategoryId());
Thanks in advance and may I know how to validate the temporary variable?

You can do this with an anonymous class and a command pattern.
interface LazyEval {
public Object getValue();
LazyEval le = new LazyEval() {
public Object getValue() {
return catDao.findByPK(info.getCategoryId());
id = le.getValue();However, this sound like a solution to a problem which should be done another way.

Saving values as temporary variable as in C, but with no UI controls

Hello Labview world, I am a placement student been thrown into the deep end to design a program that auto calibrates a ADC using labview. Given the option to do this in C and i would not have a problem but labview is different. I have the folloing problem. The ADC has to register to fine tune its output. FCR (gain) and OCR(offset). The adjust the data in the DOR (data output register) of the ADC. I want to set a known voltage on the input of the ADC (say 500mA) and then i will read the output code of the ADC and convert into a voltage in the range of 0 - 5V. I have all the controls for the ADC already programmed. My problem comes when the output code is not equal to the voltage i sent in. for example my first try i got a output code equivalent to 1.13V for a 0.5V input. To adjust the output code i need to read the FCR and OCR registers and then save these to a variable in memory but i do not wish to display them on the front panel as there is no need. i work out the difference between the output and input and divide this by two. I now need to start adjust my first register (FCR default value of 800000 Hex) until i reach the midpoint between the current OP voltage and known IP voltage. I will increment by 100000HEX first (FCR now equal to 900000H) and then read back the new OP voltage. If it has now over shot my midpoint voltage i need to reduce the incremental value and then add this to my first FCR value which i hoped to have saved earlier so that the new value would be 810000H. Then read back the voltage and adjust registers so on so forth until i home in on the midpoint value. once there i will adjust the OCR register in the same way to reach myactual IP voltage. I know this method is crude but it does work and I'm just stuck on how to save temporary variables in labview that i can keep going back to just like having the following in C that i can set when i like : int previousFCR = 0x800000;
int NewFCR;
int IncrementVal;
Sorry about the description being so long but any help u clever people could give me would be a great help!!!

Hello.
To be quite honest, I did not read your problem description in very much detail, because judging from the title of your question, your main interest is not displaying intermediate results while you are calculating something in a loop. If this is the case, I hope this answer helps:
Roughly speaking, a wire is the closest thing there is in LabVIEW to what we call a variable in a text-based language. If you do not connect the wire to any front panel object, then its value is never displayed.
If your program is already working, and the only thing that bothers you is displaying intermediate results, perhaps the simplest thing to do is to make the indicator invisible while you are looping, and make it visible again when you get the final result. You d
o this by right-clicking on the indicator, and selecting Create > Property Node, and writing to the "visible" property (you have to right-click on the property node and select "change to write" and then connect the appropriate boolean value).
If you are still developing the program, and I am right in assumming that you have some kind of loop which stops when the correct value is reached, use shift registers to "pass" the value of a wire (variable) to the next iteration of the loop. Do not connect any indicator to the wire inside the loop, because the indicator will be updated with each iteration of the loop. Instead, place the indicator outside the loop and connect it to the right hand side of the shift register. That way, the indicator takes the value of the wire in the last iteration.
Hope this helps.

Temporary variables during a BPM

Hello,
My scenario in a bpm includes a receive step (XML File) , a RFC sync call to a BAPI, and posting a response back in an other XML File.
The incoming XML message contains certain variables that I need to report back in the outgoing XML file (eg. Message n° in the external system, or filename).
How can I start this "during the BAPI call" and map them back in my outgoing message. Both mapping are done using XSLT.
For certain scenario I can use the EXTENSION_IN of the BAPI, but for BAPI_EMPLOYEE_GETDATA there is not extension available.
Note: If any of you have a suggestion to resolve this scenario avoiding even using the BPM, that would be great.
Cheers,
greg

Hi
Use transformation inside BPM .
When you receiver XML transformation step you can use to pass relevant data to RFC and another transformation step to pass BAPI response to inbound Abstract interface. This transformation you can do a 2:1 mapping and pass the data to inbound interface.
Thanks

How does Java keep the value from temporary variable?

Hello all:
I have a Question for Java Assignment operator.
Object v1;
Object v2;
v1 = v2; // Java assignment by reference if I understand correctly
///// for example:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class TestOne {
Vector v1;
public void changeV() {
Vector v2 = new Vector();
v2.addElement(new Integer(10));
v2.addElement(new Integer(11));
v2.addElement(new Integer(12));
v1 = v2;
public TestOne() {
changeV();
System.out.println(v1.size());
System.out.println("0: " + v1.elementAt(0));
System.out.println("1: " + v1.elementAt(1));
System.out.println("2: " + v1.elementAt(2));
public static void main(String[] args) {
new TestOne();
// Output from Screen
bash-3.00$ java TestOne
3
0: 10
1: 11
2: 12
If I understand correctly, " v1 = v2; " is assigned by reference.
So the question is when function 'changeV' return, why v1 still holds the
values from v2 which has been destroyed?
Thank you
-daniel

firstly, the assignment is by-value, not by-reference.
the value the variables hold is a thingy called "reference." (In other languages such as C or C++ it might be called "pointer.") So "v1 = v2" always copies the value of v2 to v1.
secondly, the vector object that is created in the changeV method, is created on the heap, that is, in dynamic memory. The variable v2 holds only a reference to it. So when the method returns, only the reference is destroyed, not the actual object.
The object is automatically destroyed when there are no more reachable references to it (it is "garbage collected").

How can I access global variables in a loaded Applescript?

How can I access global variables in a loaded script, in Xcode, ApplescriptObjC? Basically, I have a global variable defined in my parent script using "property", and I need to modify objects connected to those variables inside of a loaded script.
Example:
Parent script:
script AppDelegate
property myTextField : missing value
//linked to a text field object
tell myScript to myAwesomeHandler_()
end script
Loaded script:
on myAwesomeHandler_()
myTextField's setStringValue_("The new Xcode is so glitchy ugh")
//changes value of linked text field of parent script
end myAwesomeHandler_
The problem is, the variable is undefined in the Loaded script, and I need it to have the same value as the parent script, and I don't want to pass the variable through the Handler. Any ideas?

I think want you are looking to do will need to be done in two steps. Because myTextField needs to be a property for the ObjectiveC part of the code you cannot turn it into a global.
However if you make a temporary variable global assign the string to it in the handler then set myTextField off of it.
global myTextFieldGlobal
script AppDelegate
property myTextField : missing value
//linked to a text field object
tell myScript to myAwesomeHandler_()
myTextField's setStringValue_(myTextFieldGlobal)
end script
on myAwesomeHandler_()
set myTextFieldGlobal to "The new Xcode is so glitchy ugh"
//changes value of linked text field of parent script
end myAwesomeHandler_
I know you stated you did not want the handler to return a value but I have to ask why? Global's, imo, are not a good idea and really should be used as a last resort.
One other possibility is to pass a reference to the property to the handler. Not sure if that works in AS of if that would satisfy our requirement of not passing the variable through the handler
<edit>
Another though have you tried to define the property outside the script? That is
property myTextField : missing value
script AppDelegate
Not sure if that will work.
You might also want to have a look at Scope of Properties and Variables Declared in a Script Object

Retriving values into a variable

hi,
I'm novice to calcscripts...
i have declared one variable within a fix cmd.
I want to retrieve data into this variable combination whatever mentioned in the fix cmd some members also need prior.
var LyBase;
LyBase=@Prior(FY11,Base);
i'm getting error-1200329:ivalid assignment of base
i want to know
"LyBase"="Can i give member combination here to retrieve data into this variable";

variables need to be used in a calc block, here are some examples as it has been covered in the past

Hi john,
thanks for ur reply,i have declared the variable inside the fix cmd,but when i'm trying to retrieve a value into this variable it is throwing error,
*Error: 1012038 The constant [FY10->Actuals->Locked->Base] assigned to variable [LyBase] is not a number*.
calc script is as follows
fix(my sparse dim mbrs)
var LyBase;

when executing this script i'm getting the above error.how can i fix it?

          System.out.print("Enter name of First Node: ");
          nodeName = input.next();
          Node nodeone = new Node(nodeName);
          myList.addFirst(nodeone);
          System.out.println("Setting First Node");
}

You can pass myList to the method that uses it.
Or, you can make inputAddFirst just return an object, and add it in main.
Or you could make myList a field, rather than a local variable. If you do that however, you'd probably want the stuff in main to go into a new, non-static method. Also you shouldn't use fields for what are in essence temporary variables, so ask yourself whether myList really represents the ongoing state of whatever object it's in.

Using variables in a fix statement

I am using a nested fix statement on a dense member and would like to use variables to represent certain intersections. Since the variables need to be within a calc member bloc, where do I place them? Do they go inside the fix statement witht the parenthesis just around teh variables or the last parenthesis at the end of the fix statement?

If you mean substitution variables, they are defined outside the calc script at a dp, app, or server level. They simply substitute their textual value at the place they appear in the script. If the substitution results in a valid calc script where it occurs, then you are fine. So FIX ( &subvar ) could be valid.If you mean temporary variables, they hold intermediate calculational values. The docs say "VAR commands can only be assigned values within a member calculation or when VAR is declared. " That is, you may either say 'VAR tempvar = 1000; ' [declare and set value] or 'VAR tempvar;' [declare only, often at the start of your script] then somewhere in the script 'tempvar = expression;' [value gets assigned]. This last expression would not appear within the parentheses of a FIX ( members ) statement, but somewhere within the FIX block. You would never say FIX ( tempvar ) as it is not an outline member.
