Text Variables in Report Designer

We are creating some formatted reports in BI 7.0 using the Report Designer tool. One of the requirements is that when the report is flitered by a certain characteristic, say for e.g. Country = 'DE', the text associated with the country e.g. 'Germany' should be populated in the header of the report. Does anybody know if variable texts are supported in Report Designer ?

Thanks for any help.

Clarification

Thank you Jitin.
What could be solution to this problem?
If still I want to go with JRC, Can I write some Java code to perform this export?
I see TextExportFormatOptions and its not working.
If I want to export automatically to text format, what other choices are there?
Basically I need to execute report and generate text file automatically. Text file should look like Crystal Report Designer Exported Text file.
Thank you for your time.

Customer exit variable in Report designer

Hello,
I have created one Customer Exit variable ( variable ready for input) for one of the characteristics in a query. However, when i execute this query in Report designer, the selection variable is not appearing. It is just taking the variable value from Exit, eventhough the variable is ready for input.
Is it a standard behavior or am i missing anything ?
Ravi

Hello,
First check your variable is included in the report desinger or not
if it is included in Filters, use the T-code RSRT2 and execute. You should get a variable screen.
Debug your query here.
Hope it is useful.
Thanks,

Conflict with text variable on Query Designer

Hi,
this is the scenario:
- On Query Designer i got two restricted key figures: K1 and K2.
- I'm usign a manual entered variable for 0CALMONTH.
- On K1 the sales are restricted for the selected month.
- On K2 the sales are restricted to a range between first month of the year, and the selected month-1.
Then on a formula i use K1+K2 and a text variable (selected month) for the name of the column. Then, when running the query, the text for the variable can't be found. There is a conflict on text variable when using 2 restricted key figures on the formula.
How can i solve it ?
thx

Hi,
I assume that your text variable is of replacement type?
If it doesn't work you can create a new text variable of user exit type and derive its value using entered 0CALMONTH.
Best regards,
Eugene

Can anyone suggest me how to solve it.
Thanks In Advance

Doubt on Text Variable in report

Hi All,
Currently i am working on Bex Reporting. I have created the text variable of type replacement Path and reference charactistic is 0FISPER.
I have made all the settings in report level.
While running the report, the description is displaying as " # " instead of Fiscal year values. Can you Please help on this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Jelina.

Hello Jelina,
The value "#" appears only if there are no values corresponding to the specified variable.
Please cross check if a legitimate value is available in the host variable/infoobject which the replacement path points to.

Name of column using text variable in Query Designer

Hello!
I have 3 columns with amounts, 1 characteristic value variable and 1 text variable.
For example, names of this columns - 2005 year, 2006 year, 2005/2006.
I fill names using only one text variable and I can call first 2 column. I use set offset of variables for second column.
How can I call third column ''2005/2006"?

Hi,
u need a second Text varaible and u need to correct your existing text variable.
Prerequisite: u need for your key figures the same KF-variable
1. Edit your existing text variable lets say its called &Text1&
2. Select your Text variable and go to tab "replacement path"
3. Choose a) InfoObject b) Choose key
4. In section "use value range" choose from value
5. Create a new text variable lets call it &Text2&
6. make exact the same settings as for your first text variable butchoose for "value range" to value
Now u use this text variables for your KF:
KF 1 -> &Text1&
KF 2 -> &Text1&
KF 3 -> &Text1& / &Text2&
This should make it!!

How to search for a text string in Reports designer?

In iDS reports (10gR2), I want to search from top down for a text string was used in one of the queries or triggers. In Forms, you can do it, in reports the related menu item is always seems to be grayed out no matter what item I pick in the Navigator. Is it doable or not? If yes, then how. I don't wanna open each program piece including the queries in the data model, report triggers or program units and look for (by visual scanning) for the text I am searching for. This is crazy. There must be a way to do it. Thanx.

That is pretty bad for such an expensive report development program. The forms allows it, I wonder why Oracle did not include similar functionality in the reports developer. I knew the conversion to ascii, but during development it is pain in the ... just to search for a simple text string in the related program units in the report, to convert to ascii, do the search and then go back to the developer. Anyway, if that is the only way, there is nothing we can do I guess :(

In the filter the value of text variable is not shown, only technical name.

Hi All,
We have some odd behavior of text variables in the filter screen of key-figures.
After entering values in the variable screen, the report is executed.
Within the report all text variables are filled, with the values entered in the variable screen.
I say all, because we use both sap standard variables &0T_FPER& as customer specific &ZFSCYR&.
When i want to change the key figures showned, i press the filter icon for key-figures (BW 3.5)
In the list shown: existing filtervalues, the textvariables of SAP standard are filled with the value entered in the variable screen. However the customer specific is shown with the technical name (&ZFSCYR&) and not the value.
Has anyone experience with this behavior or even better a solution to prevent this?
As allways, each usefull answer points assigned!
Regards,
René

Hi Rene,
If ur custom text variable is not getting populated then you need to check out the code that u have written in there in CMOD for this and ofcourse if ur using this text variable after report execution then it will definately be in i_step 2.
So best way is to debug your code and check that using code RSRT.
Thanks

Problem with vertical text in crystal report viewer

Hi,
I am displaying vertical text in crystal report designer and deploying the report in crystal reports server 2008. The deployed report is being displayed using JAVA in crystal report viewer control.
Problem: Vertical text header is getting collapsed wth other vertical headers.
Please help on this.
Thanks,

Hi Vijay,
I found out another method of retaining all the chart formatting that is done in the preview pane.
Once you have done all the changes then you will find interestingly there is a chart menu option that appears in the tool bar. Once you click on it there is an option "Apply Changes to All Charts".
Select that option, close your preview. Open it once again and you will find that all the settings are still there and the Web Viewer is able to display them properly.
I think that I resolved this.

It sounds like that your Web CGI did not configure right. To test if your CGI configuration is correct, type:

If you get a help screen, then you should be able to bring up your report.

Using Standard Text Variables for FYPERIOD in Report Title ?

Hi,
We have a requirement where the user input the variable 0fiscper to the query (001.2010). How to get the text value of that variable in the query description in the bex query ?
For example user input, 008.2010. We need to get "Aug 2010 Sales values " where Sales values will be the report text. I want to get Aug (month) and year (2010) before the report title. I have searched in google and sdn and could not find any link, but found a doc for the column header text using the same variable. I have tried the same procedure and its just display the zvariable name and Sales value's instead of the label. Please advise.
Thanks
DR

You can create a Text variable with replacement path of Fiscper as reference char. Select Key in details tab of replacing variable.
If you are just getting technical name, then it is understood that it is not getting replaced.
