Text Variable in WAD

Hi,
I have a text variable. I created it in order to display beside the description of the query in BEx report.
Now, I want to display the same thing in WAD.
Half of the name of the query is static and half is dynamic...so requesting to let me know how can I proceed and do the same in WAD.

Create a Text Element in WAD and attache the query as teh dataprovider to that Text Element.
This will display whatever is there in the Query Description.

Text Variable in Tray Title

HI BI experts,
we recently migrated many WAD from BW 3.5 to BI 7.0.
In BW 3.5 We had (in automatic) every Web Item with the Query (Dataprovider) title.
In BI 7.0 if we want the title over every Web Item, we have to manage the Tray; i can write the text manually in the Tray Settings but, unfortunately, in some Web Item, we have a text variable (a text variable is in the title of the query developed with the Query Designer).
My question is: How can i reproduce the right title of the query with the value of the text variable?
I'm not expert in Javascript, if the solution is in the javascript please give me an example of coding.
This is the xhtml code of a Web Item where "TXTORDI02" is the name of the text variable
                   <tr >
                        <td valign="top" colspan="2" >

Fabrizio Modesti

Hi Fabrizio,
you could place an infofield item above the analysis item and refer to the Dataprovider with one element: information type = "generic text" and the value of the generic text element "QUERY_DESCRIPTION". Use the same item width as the analysis item.
Then the Query description is generic.
If you like you could use a container item with tray which includes these 2 elements.
<bi:INFO_FIELD_ITEM name="INFO_FIELD_ITEM_1" designheight="300" designwidth="800" >
   <bi:WIDTH value="800" />
   <bi:DATA_PROVIDER_REF value="DP_1" />
   <bi:INFORMATION_ELEMENT_LIST type="ORDEREDLIST" >
     <bi:INFORMATION_TYPE type="CHOICE" index="1" value="GENERIC_TEXT_ELEMENT" >
       <bi:GENERIC_TEXT_ELEMENT value="QUERY_DESCRIPTION" />
     </bi:INFORMATION_TYPE>
   </bi:INFORMATION_ELEMENT_LIST>
</bi:INFO_FIELD_ITEM>
Instead the Infofield item you could take a text item with the generic text:
<bi:TEXT_ITEM name="TEXT_ITEM_1" designheight="70" designwidth="400" >
    <bi:TEXT_BINDING type="CHOICE" value="GENERIC_TEXT_BINDING" >
        <bi:GENERIC_TEXT_BINDING type="COMPOSITE" >
            <bi:DATA_PROVIDER_REF value="DP_1" />
            <bi:GENERIC_TEXT_ELEMENT value="QUERY_DESCRIPTION" />
        </bi:GENERIC_TEXT_BINDING>
    </bi:TEXT_BINDING>
</bi:TEXT_ITEM>

Show date variable in WAD Template.

HI,
I want to be able to show the date variable in WAD template. To do this I used the info field web item. This web item has the option to show variables which is great, but unfortunatly for me it also shows all the other variables I am using. I can not see anywhere where I can restrict it to only show the date variable.
Does anyone know how I can do this or is it something I would have to do query side.
Regards
Forhad

Hi Forhad,
Yes you can show the date var alone, for this you would have to choose the specific date var under Data Binding -> List of Text Elements to display -> Text Element Type = Variable Value, Variable = (select the date var from the available list).
You may also turn off the Static Variables & Dynamic Variables if required.

How to... get local fox variable into WAD

Hi guys,
we have a (technical) weird requirement to fullfill. There is a parameter (a string) we need to update several times when running our web templates. We have this parameter in our fox coding and it needs to be updated i.e. when loading the templates the first time, when buttons are triggered etc (if we use a customer exit we can not update the parameter when i.e. a button is triggered).
What do we need this parameter for? We have to display it in a text field in our templates (it must not be a text field but it has to be present all the time in these about 70 templates). However if we use a text field the best would be to link the parameter using a variable. Anyway I do not know how to set a global variable within fox coding...
What do you suggest? How can a global variable be set using fox the easiest way? Or is there any other way to display a local fox variable in WAD (using javascript or something else)?
Any helpful ideas or answers will be <removed by moderator>.
Thks & Brgds,
Marcel

Your requirement didn't get very clear to me but maybe you can explore whether you can achieve it by calling an FM from inside the fox code.

Error in creating Text Variable

Hi Gurus,
I have one requirement to create a text variable for the user & the user wants to put the description as input to the variable.
But when i am creating the variable,the variable type "characteristic Value" is by default selected and i am also unable to change the variable type to text variable.
Please any body have the solution to resolve the error.
Regards
Debasish

Hi,
Just select a particular key figure and on the right side you will see its properties..
Now just besides the description of the key figure you will find a symbol for create variables, just click on that.. It will create a text variable...

0FISCPER text variable "External Characteristic Value Key" has changed

Hello!
Could somebody help and tell, why in BI7.0 version (but 3.x RRMX version) the format of the 0FISCPER text variable (also other time characteristics) has changed from 001.2007 (version 3.x) to 0/1 .0700 (version 7.0)?
I cannot understand the logic of the new Exterternal characteristic calue key. What can I do about it?
Thanks for your help, gurus!
BR, Auli Peltola

I figured out myself the reason for the problem: in the new version the fiscal year variant has to be defined in report so that the 0FISCPER would work.

How to create Text Variables in BEx Query Designer

How can i create Text Variables in Bex Q.D.
I am able to create characteristic variables
but i can't find option to create text variables.
What's the requirement to create Text variables in Bex Q.D.
When i try to create Text variable for 0calDay.. the variable type is characteristic by Default and disabled.
How can i create text variables related to 0CalDay with which i need to work in Customer Exit.

Hi,
You have to create characteristic variable processing by Customer Exit by considering 0CalDay as a Reference Characteristic
After creation of the above variable, you restrict your KF with the above created variable.
Now you can create a Text variable for the description of your KF. This way it works...........

Why do text variables using Running Header character style translate forced returns as a word space in the running head on the first page but close up the space on subsequent pages?

In an InDesign document that requires 3 different Chapter head paragraph styles (to cope with differrent length headings) I've set up the running heads on the master page with a text variable using the Running header (character style) option. The character style I've assigned to this is an empty character style that is applied to all 3 chapter head paragraph styles.
Some chapter heads require a forced line break, so that the line breaks are aethesically pleasing. On the first page the text variable translates this forced line break as a word space in the running head, but on subsequent pages it ignores the forced line break. This means that if you have a word space before the forced line break, on the first page you get a double word space and on subsequent pages the running head sets correctly with a single word space. But if you remove the word space before the forced line break in the chapter head text, the first running head sets correctly with forced line break interpreted as a single word space, but on subsequest pages the space is closed up.
This only seems to be a problem when the character style option is used for header text variables. If a paragraph style is used the forrced line break is interpreted as a a single word space in all instances, both on the foirst page and subsequent pages.
This would appear to be a bug in how text variables are applied when using the Running header (character style) option. I can't see any other reason why the text variable would beheave differently on the first page and on subsequent pages. There is only one master page, so it isn't a case of their being an error between a main master page and a chapter opener master page.
Does anyone have any solutionss, or know if this problem has been fixed in subsequent releases of InDesign (I'm using CS6 ID version 8.0)
Thanks

Text Variable Not Refreshed

Hello,
I created a data text variable user exit.
everyting works fine, but,
1) Selection options:
Year: 2010
Month: 1 to 11
The query and text variable return right values
Year 2010
Month: Jan to Nov
but, if i want to make new selection
2) Year : 2011
month : 1 to 11
the query results are fine, but, the variable text return its old : return:
year: 2010
month: Jan to nov
3) when I do it again
year: 2011
month: 1 to 11
The query and text variable return right values
Year 2011
Month: Jan to Nov
Why this happen? why they string doesnt work it 1rst..?
Thx
Reg

I assume , variable 'ZP_CALY2' , which you are reading is created on calyear/ month which stores data as '2011.001' for e.g.
and you are extracting year from the same and writing the same in a variable for calyear .
In that case correct the code as
WHEN 'ZP_AN2'.
LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range WHERE vnam = 'ZP_CALY2'.
zt_dt1 = loc_var_range-low +0(4).
l_s_range-low = zt_dt1.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
ENDLOOP.
Otherwise you can try this option ,
You are entering year in the selection screen , so create a text variable with replacement path and give the replacement characteristic as fiscalyear info-object used in the report .also restrict fiscal year variable in the keyfigure . use this variable along with the keyfigure .
It will give you the correct year .

Issue with text variable by replacement path

Hello All
I have a date field called ZDATE1 (it is based on 0DATE). I have used this this IO in a query and have create variables on it (ZSTARTDT and ZENDDT), Start and End date. And my KFs are based on these 2 dates: Quantity - Start Date & Quantity - End Date / Product Value - Start Date & Product Value - End Date. Those are my descriptions for my KFs.
Now, I want the replace the descriptions "Start Date and End Date" with the actual values that I am entering like 09/01/2010 and 09/10/2010. Ex: Quantity - 9/01/2010 & Quantity - 9/10/2010.
Therefore, I create 2 Text Variables,
1. ZSTART, Replacement Path, Ref Char (ZDATE1), Replace by Variable ZSTARTDT, with KEY, offset - blank
2. ZEND, Replacement Path, Ref Char (ZDATE1), Replace by Variable ZENDDT, with KEY, offset - blank
And I put these text variables in the descriptions. But when I run the query, I still see: Quantity - &ZSTART& and Quantity - &ZEND&.
Note that my ZDATE1 which is based on 0DATE does not have a master data table or text table; it is purely transaction data. Does that mean, my text replacement path variables wont work.
Any suggestions??

Hi,
The text variable is replaced when the exact date is clear for this key figure column according to the restriction.
To achive this, please make sure that either the variable is directly restricted in the key figure selection, or that the date characteristic is in drilldown.
Regards,
Patricia

How can I get an ampersand to show up when between two other letters, in a text variable?

Using Indesign CC 2014, on Windows 7.
Creating a catalog.
The company name is used throughout.
Since this catalog will be re-branded for distributors at random, the company name will change all the time.
So, here's a text variable I'm defining:
The issue is that when I attempt to use an ampersand (&) between two letter with no spaces, the ampersand disappears.

Yes!! You got it!
Works. Thank you!
Wish I'd thought of that . . .
