Urgent: Generting an Error messge using FOX formula

Hello all,
i want to generate the error message when 'Activity' field is left blank while appending a new record in planning folder.
'Activity' is characteristic of type CHAR.it is not maintained in the master data.
my code is
DATA ACT TYPE ZACTIVITY.
IF ACT = #.
MESSAGE E001(UPF)WITH ' ACTIVITY SHOULD NOT BE BLANK '.
ENDIF.
it is giving error even when something is entered in the Activity field also.
any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Activity needs to be in fields to be changed.
The VARV only works for single value variables. In case of multiple values you can try:
Foreach ACT in VARIABLE name of variable
ACT = VARV(name of variable)
STATMENTEMENT
ENDFOR.
or you can try working
counter = 0.
Number = VARC(name of variable).
DO number times.
Counter = counter + 1.
ACT = VARI(name of variable, counter).
STATEMENT.
ENDDO.

ZPOIDS9 = VARV(ZVPOIDS2).
ZPOIDS10 = VARV(ZVPOIDS2).
ZPOIDS11 = VARV(ZVPOIDS2).
ZPOIDS12 = VARV(ZVPOIDS2).
If this works, the problem is within variable ZVPOIDS3 - ZVPOIDS12.
Also note that the latest SP is 14, so if you are still in development I would recommend to install SP13 and 14!

How to implement this planning function using Fox formula

Hello,
I am new to Fox.
I want to implement this complex logic in a planning function
i have A (Kf X from infoprovider Z_A), B (Kf Y from infoprovider Z_B) & moreover there is one more condition,
If current FISCPER > variable value of FISCPER
KF Z = KF Z1 (from Cube C1)
Else KF Z = KF Z2 (from Cube C2).
for a particular calender week,
X = ( Y * Z ) / (summation of (Y * Z) for each week of the whole year)
I know it is complex.
but i have to implement this in a planning function.
The aggreagtion level is built on a multiprovider having A, B , C1 & C2.
Can someone help me out with the FOX formula for this? or is there any better way to do this.
Thanks john

CHA_COMP_CODE = VARV(Z_U_I100).
To Calculate the D
VAR_PERIOD = VARV(Z_U_I010).
SUM_YEAR = 0.
TEMP_D =0.
IF CHA_FISCPER > VAR_PERIOD.

Error in syntax FOX Formula

Hello all !!
I have a problem when I execute fox formulas in BPS0 in version 7.0, becuase they don't work.
The company migrated BW-BPS to 7.0 version.
The problem occurs when I execute the formulas in BPS0 in the quality environment, which is working with 7.0 version, but we are using 3.5 version in the productive environment; besides we are working with 7.0 version in BW.
I was wondering if the syntax of the FOX formulas between version is diferrent.....any idea??
I appreciate your help!!!

URGENT! SEGV-errors when using Oracle C XML Parser for Solaris

I often (not always) got SEGV-error with core dump when I use Oracle Oracle C XML Parser for Solaris. This Error is always got in the call of the the function xmlinit(...) with all params as NULL but the first required for the error code and the second which i assign a macro that evaluates to "US-ASCII". Does anyone knows about this problem?
I am using a very short, wellformed and validated XML document.
I would be very glad for some help about this!

Please provide a sample program along with the version number of the XML parser.

Always getting syntax error when using RANK formula. Please help!!

i am desperate! tried EVERYTHING. so as a last try, I tested the very same Example that Apple gives to elaborate how the "RANK" formula works...and you guessed it....NOT WORKING.
not even a reconstruction 1 to 1 of the apple example worked, giving me a syntax error.
thus i am assuming that i am doing something wrong on a very basic level i would have never thought of (maybe a setting i have wrong?, maybe if you have blue as background formulas don't work?).
i would be sooooo grateful for any help!!!

Thank you very much for answering this quickly.
but unfortunately it doesnt work
i made some screenshots, maybe this way someone sees a maybe obvious mistake i am making

How to change the variable value in fox formula?

Hi All,
    Please help me achieve this scenario,
         in the variable selection screen , i wil give some i/p like, calyear(0calyear) = 2008.
      In planing function using FOX formula, i must be able change the variable value to 2009.
Will it be possible to achieve this, can we change a variable value using FOX formula, if possible
please let me knw how to achieve this.
Thanks n Regards,
Priya.

Hi Priyadarshini,
i dont know what is your requirement exactly.If you can give a better explanation of ur requirement we can help you. But to answer your question yes we can get new values for the variable in the planning function.
for this you need to couple the planning function together with the planning filter in a planning sequence. This planning filter should have the variable that you wanted to change. In the WAD when you want to call this planning sequence there is an option to call variable screen. If you enable this, it will pop up the variable screen to get this value again.
Guess this was helpful.
Regards.

Fox Formula vs ABAP

Hi guys,
I'm working with a Material Hierarchy (Main Group (MG)(0PRODH1), Group(G) (0PRODH2), Subgroup (0PRODH3) (SG) and Mat (0MATERIAL). In my Planning package I have a specific Hierarchy Node for 0MATERIAL.
I need to perform a calculation in different levels: For example:
If I use Fox Formula I can get passed a data record like:
MG, G, SG, Mat, Qty and MG, #, #, #, Qty
But If use User Exit I can only see a data record like:
MG, G, SG, Mat, Qty and Not MG, #, #, #, Qty (because in this case the Mat is # (empty).
To get around of that I put # in the Material Hierarchy for testing, but now I having problem with locking.
Is there any other solution for that?
I'll appreciate your comments.
Thank you,
Heverton

How using ABAP function in fox formula ?

Hello,
I want to launch standard function :"RSW_CURRENCY_TRANSLATION" by Fox formula. I declare this function in SAP Table :rsplf_fdir, and I can call this function by fox, with all parameters.
But when I want to use it, I've a problem with the first parameter : "Formula error: Type RSR_CTTNM is not permitted"
What's the solution ?
Best regards,

Hi Cyril,
I read the fact that you have chosen to use CURC instead of the Function Module.
Did you fix your exchange rate type in your CURC formula: For example:
CURC (LCAMT,12312008,EURP,LCUR,GCUR).
Or did you make into a variable, that can be chosen at run time?
I'm asking because I'm trying to make the 'exchange rate type' in this formula to be more dynamic (like a local variable).For example:
DATA EXRATE TYPE 0RTYPE.
DATA EXRATE_V TYPE 0RTYPE.
EXRATE_V = VARV(EXCHRATE).
{0AMOUNT,GCUR, GCTYPE,FYPERIOD,VERSION,COSTELM,INT_ORDER} = CURC (LCAMT,12312008,EXRATE_V,LCUR,GCUR).
But the system returns the error meesage that it doesn't recognise 'EXRATE_V' even though i have declared it earlier on. So I have a fear that the system is expecting me to enter a fixed exchnage rate type that exists in RSCUR, in this formula..!! Is that true??
I don't want it to be fixed in the formula, it should be chosen at time of planning. How do you have yours right now? Do you know why I get this error message, and what I need to do to in the FOX formula, to make sure it can be populated at run time?
Thanks for your help and information in advance.

Variable used in FOx formula should get value from user

Hi Gurus,
In my fox formula I want to multiply a keyfigure (say quantity) with a factor. For example if the factor is 10 then all records should get multiplied by 10.
But the requirement is user shpuld be able to give the factor that should be multiplied. That is the l_factor used in the fox function should be a variable which gets value from user. I know we can give variables in filter and planning functions in IP. But can we give values in Fox formula.
I would really appreciate the time and effort.
Thanking you,
Jerry Jerome

Hello,
May be you can try this solution.
I think you have create a dummy character info-object(Z_Number) of same data type interget number.Create variable for Z_Number and restrict in filter(ZV_NUM).
DATA Z_MAT TYPE 0Material.
DATA Z_NUM TYPE Z_NUMBER.
DATA Z_NUM_READ TYPE I.(Declate same as data type for Z_Number)
Z_NUM = VARV(ZV_NUM).
FORACH Z_MAT.
Z_NUM_READ = Z_NUM.
{Z_KF1,Z_MAT} = Z_NUM_READ * {Z_KF1,Z_MAT}.
ENDFOR.

Error when using running total variable in formula

This is probably an easy syntax problem, but I'm fairly new to Crystal reporting. I created a running total variable (count) called InquiryTypeSubtotal that simply counts the number of records. I have one grouping level, and in the group footer I'd like to print a line showing the total count for that group that looks like
Total inquiries for Assistive Technology: 3
To accomplish this I'm using a formula field with the following syntax:
"Total inquiries for " + {CnAttrCat_1.CnAttrCat_1_Description} + ": " + ToText(@InquiryTypeSubtotal)
When I try to check the formula, I get the error message "The ) is missing." What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Alec

I put in the curly brackets so my formula now reads
"Total inquiries for " + {CnAttrCat_1.CnAttrCat_1_Description} + ": " + ToText({@InquiryTypeSubtotal})
Now when I check the formula I get the error message "This field name is not known."

Computational Error when using if then formula in a block, when the formula

Hi all,
I am getting a computational error on one of my reports,
where i have created a new variable. The variable is an "if and
then" formula which uses the date variable. However if i leave the
date variable in the report block then the new variable is fine and
works. However due to the nature of the report we would like the
report to give a summary over a date range. In normal circumstances
i would be able to simply drag out the date variable from the report
block and it would create a summary. Unfortunatley in this instance
i get the dreaded "computational error". I know its due to the fact
that business objects requires the date variable present. Is there
any way around this...
I've seen some manual work arounds i.e table
properties and hide the date field, and then group header for each
category with totals and then table properties and select Fold so
that it shows the total (one for each product, rather one for each
day and each product). Just wandering if there is perhaps a more
efficient way around this. your help will be much appreciated.

I don't think it is possible to lock in the date and time using a formula. You could put NOW() in a cell, copy, and Edit Paste Formula Results where you want the result.
Or if you are "time stamping" a lot, you may find this Automator Service (Dropbox download) helpful. It puts a "Today" function (actually it should be named "Now" because it includes both date and time) in your Services menu like this:
Just doubleclick the .workflow package to install it. You may have to click "download anyway" in System Preferences > Privacy & Security.
If you want you can assign the service a keyboard shortcut in System Preferences here:

Using variable in fox formula containing several characteristics

Hi @all,
is it possible to use a variable in fox containing more than one characteristic? I need to have some additional information for a few 0SEM_POSITs but don't want to create an attribute.
I've created variable ZSCV25 containing characteristics 0SEM_POSIT and ZSCADVDEL but wasn't able to get any data by using VARI.
Anybody an idea? Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Thomas


Dear Thomas 
I don't think FOX Formula Variable can contain more than one characteristic value. However I can suggest you to try one thing. Create an Exit Variable and in its ABAP Code refer to the master data table of base variable and retrieve the value of its desired attribute. For example, let us assume that you have a characteristic 0COMP_CODE and 0COUNTRY is its attribute. Now you want that depending on the value of 0COMP_CODE selected by User in another variable ZCOMP_CODE , 0COUNTRY should be automatically populated in variable ZCOUNTRY. So in this case, please make ZCOUNTRY as an Exit Variable and write ABAP Code for that. In the ABAP Code, get the value of 0COMP_CODE which is entered by User in the other variable ZCOMP_CODE. Then write a select statement in ABAP and retrieve the value of 0COUNTRY from the master data table of 0COMP_CODE where Company Code value is equal to value of variable ZCOMP_CODE. 
I hope I am getting you and you are getting me :-) 
 Please let me know in case of any confusion.
 
Hope it helps.

Using BPS numberic variables in the FOX formula???

Hi all,
Can someone tell me how to use one variable (the variable type is 'numberic') in the FOX formula? Thank you.
FOX formula example:
Inventory $= inventory unit * inventory (per unit) * depreciation monthS (this is a numberic variable.
J.

Hi John,
 You can use the VARV function to get the value of the numeric variable in FOX.
 Lets say your variable for depreciation months is ZDEPMTS.In your FOX, you
 can say: Inventory $= inventory unit * inventory (per unit) * VARV(ZDEPMTS).
 Hope this helps.
Cheers

Type error while calling function module with in FOX formula

Hi,
I am getting following error while calling function module from FOX Formula:
"Types of parameter DAY_IN () and variable J_CALDAY(D) are inconsistent"
Following is the code:
DATA    I_CALDAY       TYPE 0CALDAY.
DATA    N_CALDAY       TYPE 0CALDAY.
DATA    KYF              TYPE KEYFIGURE_NAME.
FOREACH   I_CALDAY, KYF.
   CALL FUNCTION SLS_MISC_GET_LAST_DAY_OF_MONTH
      EXPORTING
         DAY_IN = I_CALDAY
      IMPORTING
         LAST_DAY_OF_MONTH = N_CALDAY.
    {KYF, N_CALDAY} = {KYF, L_CALDAY}.
ENDFOR.
Import parameter DAY_IN is of type sy-datum (that inturn is data element SYDATUM of data type DATS - same as 0CALDAY). Not sure why error is being thrown. Any idea? Thanks.
Edited by: SAP_BOY on Dec 4, 2009 5:26 PM

Hi,
I think It will not identify ,though you have (data element SYDATUM of data type DATS - same as 0CALDAY).Check it out by assigning it through a variable of type D.
Data I_CALDAY TYPE D.
Hope it may work out.

Indu
