Text variable property

Folks,
Where can I check in BEx various properties (like processed by, replacement path, manual entry, optional etc) for a defined text variable?
Thanks,
-SM

Hi,
Also look into the below document for variable Process and Types:

Concatenate text and property of dimension in script logic

hello experts,
how to concatenate text and property of dimension in script logic?
as example:
dimension : interco
property : mgmtallocdefcc
*WHEN TIME.YEAR
*IS %YEAR_VAR%
*REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%,ACCOUNT=12345,ENTITY="I_" [INTERCO],MGMTALLOCDEFCC)
*NEXT
then it will read all as text: I_[INTERCO].MGMTALLOCDEFCC
for example the value of property mgmtallocdefcc in interco dimension (INTERCO.MGMTALLOCDEFCC) is ABCDE.
what i expect is :I_ABCDE
thanks!

Hi Yoki,
Concatenation is only possible between text and variables %VAR% or $VAR$.
Like ENTITY=I_%SOMEVAR%
But in your case instead of concatenate you have to use other property like TARGETENTITY having valid ENTITY members:
ENTITY=INTERCO.TARGETENTITY

How to set the document language based on the contents of a text variable?

In my Indesign documents, I use a text variable in which I type the abbreviation of the document language according ISO639-1 (e.g. EN, DE, ES, ...). I'd like to have a JavaScript that checks this text variable every time the document is opened and then sets the Language property of my Normal paragraph style, but I don't have any experience with JavaScript.
Can someone help me please?
PS: I use InDesign CS5.5.

Hi Todd,
I believe ES4 sp1 allows you to do this, but I don't have that version so aren't sure. I follow the steps described in this blog, LiveCycle Blog: Gesperrte PDF-Eigenschaften in XFA-Formularen ändern//Edit locked PDF properties in XFA forms seems very hacky but does work (the English version comes after the German).

Setting & Reading In Text Variables

Hello, can anyone tell me why my dynamic text box, instance
name = "body_txt", displays the undefined? I have a .txt file with
variables, &law1, &law2, etc... I want to set my variable
"body_text_var" from buttons and only show the specific text
variable content, i.e. &law1.
I think this should be working but is not.... Thanks, Ed
stop();
var body_text_var:String;
if (body_text_var == undefined) {
body_text_var = "law1";
//// director text
fileData = new LoadVars();
fileData.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
trace("Loading History Data OK!");
//// history text
body_txt.htmlText = fileData.body_text_var;
trace(body_text_var);
} else {
trace("Loading History Error!");
fileData.load("timeline/law.txt");

Doh on reading it a bit closer I see something else as well.
body_text_var is defined probably on the _root timeline or
some such in that case you need to do two things access the value
of body_text_var and then retrieve the appropriate value from the
LoadVars
So something like this:
body_txt.htmlText=this[_root.body_text_var]
This is what is refered to as array notation. That says look
on the _root level for the variable/property called body_text_var
and then use the value of that to look within "this" object for a
varialbe/property with the same name and finally assign that to
body_txt's htmlText property. And again "this" in this case is the
LoadVars object..

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

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

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.

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 . . .

Complex Sap text variable in WEBI with replacement path

Hi Gurus,
Variables in Bex
Present Fiscal Qtr : 2012Q4
Fiscal Qtr-8    :        2010Q4
My Output header(TEXT) in Bex as follows.
2010Q4_ ACT     2011Q1_ ACT     2011Q2_ ACT     2011Q3_ ACT     2011Q4_ ACT
2012Q1_ ACT     2012Q2_ ACT     2012Q3_ ACT     2012Q4 BOQ     2012Q4CONS
2012Q4_ACT      2013Q1 BOQ     2013Q1CONS
It's Completly working in Bex. I have used text variable and used replacement path to calculate the above texts.
WEBI : Even though the document from SAP says that the variables will work when it's derived through replacement path,
it's not working.
Question1 :
How can i achive this in webi . I saw some of the posts in SDN . They suggested to use 'USER RESPONSE' command.
Question 2 :
Assume we are using USER RESPONCE , when the current QTR = 2013Q1 . How can we derive the previous 8 Qtr 's , because
every Qtr the values are changing .

Hi,
In which way is it not working? What's your SP and Patch level ?
the webi pre-defined cell you are enquiring about is either =PromptSummary()   or =UserResponse()

H
