User entry variable with exclude values

Hello All,
I created a user entry/ default value variable, which allows multiple single values and is optional entry. And I also got to exclude few values from this infoobject as well as have a variable. When I select and exclude my value from selsction and run the report, I get a system error and the varibale is converted to mandatory entry. The detail error message is displayed below. Any useful input will be awarded
Diagnosis
Variable &V1& is used in the query in such a way, that an optional entry is not possible.
For example, you might be using an "Exclude", or the variable might be connected using OR to additional selections for &V2& in the global filter, but is still displayed in the columns selections.
It is also not possible to use an optional parameter variable to fill an interval selection in either the from-field or the to-field.
System response
Procedure
If you are able to accept the mandatory entry, you need not do anything. Otherwise you must work with several variables in the query. You can use an optional interval variable to do this.
Procedure for System Administration

Hello ,
I did try creating a variable with the foll details:
Variable Type : User Entry / Default Value
Variable Represents : Multiple Single values
Variable entry optional
When I run the query it converts my variable to mandotary entry. but I want to have optional user entry variable.
Any help will be awarded

User defined Variable with multiple value

Hi Experts,
customer requirement is the following:
Build a layout in which to have in Lead Column the cost center characteristics, but not all cost center in master data but only those chosen by user with manual input. To achieve this goal i have created a variable of type characteristics (associatd to cost center CH) with replacement type "user defined values", then i have put this var in planning level. I have created a layout with Cost Center in Lead Column and set "all possible ch combination" in additional setting.
Thanks to the varable created, the user can enter Cost Center value, but the problem is that he cannot select more than one single cost center value, for example:
User want to see in layout CosCen1 and CosCen4, by now he can set variable in order to see the entire range from CosCen1 to CosCen4 (included all intermediate Cost Center) or to see only one between those 2 Cost Center, but it's not possible (or better i don't know how to..) to select both cost center and display the layout with ONLY those 2 Cost Center in Lead Column (CosCen1 and CosCen4).
In other word, is it possible to set a variable with more than one single value without using range from-to?
If not, does exist an alternative?
Thanks in advance.
Fabio

Hi Fabio,
It works as follows.
let's say you have 3 multiple single lines for your cost center variable.
once you are in the folder, select any single value & the layout is ready for planning with the corresponding cost center.
now, select the "Cost center variable row" in the header of the folder within section "Name of Variable" & click on "Trash Can" icon to "Delete Selection" of variable.
this basically deletes all the entered selections (3 entries) & displays for all.
It works this way, because we don't have "resriction of values required by user".
if am not wrong & correct me if am wrong,
overall, this is nothing but equal to "planning level not restricted with any variable".
I just tested this & the flaw in this is that, it is not only displaying for all the initially entered 3 lines but it displays for each & every cost center irrespective of the variable selections.
hope it is clear.

User Entry variable - AND condition

Hi,
The requirement is, if the user enters two materials A and B, the query should pull out all the transactions with BOTH materials in it.
If the user entry variable with selection option is used, it pulls out the records even if one of the materials exist (OR condition).
Is there a way to have the AND condition without the use of Customer exit variable?
Thanks.

Hi,
The scenario is like this. Transaction 1 has both the materials A and B. Transaction 2 has only material A. Transaction 3 has only material B.
Trans.No Material
1             A
1             B
2             A
3             B
When the user enters materials A and B, the output should contain only trans.no:1.
Thanks.

I want to set a variable with default value and can be changed by the user

hi,
i want to set a variable with default value and can be changed by the user, so i new a variable with setting : customer exit, single value, optional, ready for input.
in my customer exit code, i set a default value, eg. 20070530
when the variable screen popup, it display the default value 20070530, i changed it to 20070529, but it doesn't work , it still display the data in 20070530, how can i solve this problem?
your help is appreciated.

Liu,
As mentioned by Anil, you need to restrict your customerr Exit code to I_STEP = 1.
or.
Open your Variable in change mode, in the Last Page os the Variable Maintenance you can provide default value. Note: you are doing same thing in Customer Exit. In your case no need of Customer Exit.

Query problem - authorization and user entry variable as filter

hi,
I made two variables for the characteristic 0COMP_CODE.
The first variable is a user entry variable for the selection.
The second variable is my authorization variable with multiple single values.
This two variables are defined as filter in the query.
The problem is as follows:
A user is authorized to see the data from three companies. For example companies 1, 2 and 3.
Now he enters on the selection for the 0COMP_CODE the value 2 to see only the data of this company. The query result gets me confused. It shows all data of the companies 2 and others. It basicly shows more companies than he has selected.
Other companies of the authorization variable are shown.
It works if the user has the authorization over all companies.
Did someone has the same problem?
Thanks for your help/advice.
regards,
Pascal

Hi Pascal,
this is an issue. The main problem is that you just can't influence via the exit for a vairable "ready for input".
What could be done is define a dummy element (hidden in the final display) in your query like a restricted KeyFigure to a variable based on COMP_CODE; let's say VAR1 ready for input.
You char COMP_CODE would then be filtered by a variable not ready for input processed by user exit, VAR2.
The exit would ready VAR1. If there any value complying with the authorized one then populate VAR2 with it, otherwise remove it (you could use STEP_3 to raise a message "you aren't authorized to use comp_code XYZ" and return to the initial variable screen). If VAR1 is empty, then populate VAR2 wit all corresponding aithorized values.
The main issue is that
1- this is bypassing the standard functionality of authorization variables
2- any report would have to be designed like that!
What we have done is to add nav_attr / and added more IObjs in the InfoProviders related to 0COMP_CODE reflecting a country, region or any other group of comp_code authorization and then have based our authorizations on those nav....
hope this helps...

Variable with low value as first day of year and high as key date

hi all,
            i need to create a variable with key date for which the low value should be 1st day of the year,
means if i enter a key date (5/9/06) the values to appear should be from 1/1/06 to 5/9/06.
If i want the manipulation based on key date like key date + 90 etc. is it possible?
i have written a customer exit as
case i_vnam.
when 'keydate'
clear : e_t_range,
       l_t_range.
DATA DAT(8)TYPE D.
LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO loc_t_var_range.
        IF loc_t_var_range-vnam = 'keydate'.
          loc_found = 'X'.
          EXIT.
        ENDIF.
      ENDLOOP.
DAT = loc_t_var_range-vnam .
if loc_found = 'X'.
   l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
        l_s_range-opt = 'BT'.
        CONCATENATE sy-datum(4) '01' '01' INTO l_s_range-low.
        l_s_range-high = DAT.
        APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
      ENDIF.
WILL THIS CODE WORK.
I FEEL THERE IS PROBLEM WITH L_T_RANGE- HIGH.
IS THERE A DICREPENCY IN THE CODE?
IS THE CALLING SEQUENCE OF THE VARIABLE CORRECT?
PLZ LET ME KNOW.
THANK U ALL

Hi,
my mail bounced back. send vaild mail id.
try this.
1) create one customer exit variable say zcuvar
2) create a USER entry variable Keydate 0date.
3) in CMOD, in I_STEP = 1 of zcuvar, make it default value ad 01/01/2006 as you have done.
4) in use as range in Selection restrict.
zcuvar;0date.
hope i m clear.

Creation of Variable with single values in BPS

Dear All,
I have a very basic requirement in creating variables that would accept single values from the user in BPS.
Could anyone pls provide me the steps in doing so?
I am able to create and use varibles with value ranges but could not find the option to create variables with single values.
Regards,
Srini.

Hi Raj,
I have already been thru SAP help file but, though it says we can create variables with single values, it does not provide any steps in creating it.
Any suggestions?

How to show all the user entry variables in a workbook.

Hi,
My user need to see in the workbook all variables he had entered in the variable entry popup at the openning of the workbook.
I know how to show all the variables, included the hardcoded variable in the query (with a text element, select the checkbox "Display All Statics Filters"), but I need only the user entry variables.
There is a way to print only these variables?
Thank you

Thanks, but the problem is that this workbook is my Global default workbook used for all the queries. So I only want the user entry variables visible automaticly.
There is a way to do that ?
For information, i'm using Netweaver 7.
Thank you

Populate user exit Variable with User Authorizations using ABAP?

Hi, Does anyone know of a way to populate a user exit variable (with ABAP) with the Authorization Values for a user running a report? I am turning off authorizations for our InfoProvider using RSSM and want to populate a variable instead and use the variable as a filter.

Hi Kenneth ,
You need dynamic authorization in your report .This can be done at query runtime by using exit variable and writing cmod code for the same .
This code will read authorization maintained at runtime of query in i_step = 1 and will pass input var values accordingly .
For step by step information you can access this document .
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0f9f33c-0f17-2d10-d3a2-ae52ccd00780?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
Hope this will be helpful .

A variable with multiple values. Is it possible?

Normally, when we need a variable with multiple values we just write them while creating the variable or, if they depend on some other variable selected by the user a variable of type exit is used.
However, this time we would like my user to select a few variable values at a time, i.e years 2005,2006 and 2007. He can change his mind and then select 2007 and 2008. I don't want the user to be forced to select ONLY ONE value. They need to select several values at the same time.
Ideally, I don't want to use a range with values from 2 variables to do that.
Thanks,
Alberto Sabate

Hello Alberto,
When restricting variables to multiple values you need to use a range. The variable restriction in BPS supports two operators EQ - equals and BT - between.
In your example below however you could use a user exit to support this. The years you have typed in below are sequential and therefore would fit into a range.
Cheers,
Scott

Report script - using substitution variable with multiple values

Hi All,
Substitution variable with multiple values is not working correctly with Report scripts. Can you please let me know what is the syntax to assign multiple values to a sub variable using maxl:
alter database samp.samp set variable 'ExtractQuarter' 'Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4';
alter database Samp.Samp set variable 'ExtractQuarter' 'Q1:Q4';
I tried both of the above but they are errored out with the below error:
Error: 1001005 - Unknown Member [Q1:Q4] in Report.
my requirement is different for both Actual and forecast data extract so i would like to make use of this variable to extract whole year data for Forecast and current quarter data for Actual with out duplicating the report scripts for both processes.
Thanks,
PRaveen

Hi,
Please refer following thread,
range of months in report script?

How can I get the variable with the value from Thread Run method?

We want to access a variable from the run method of a Thread externally in a class or in a method. Even though I make the variable as public /public static, I could get the value till the end of the run method only. After that scope of the variable gets lost resulting to null value in the called method/class..
How can I get the variable with the value?
This is sample code:
public class SampleSynchronisation
     public static void main(String df[])
sampleThread sathr= new sampleThread();
sathr.start();
System.out.println("This is the value from the run method "+sathr.x);
// I should get Inside the run method::: But I get only Inside
class sampleThread extends Thread
     public String x="Inside";
     public void run()
          x+="the run method";
NB: if i write the variable in to a file I am able to read it from external method. This I dont want to do

We want to access a variable from the run method of a
Thread externally in a class or in a method. I presume you mean a member variable of the thread class and not a local variable inside the run() method.
Even

could get the value till the end of the run method
only. After that scope of the variable gets lost
resulting to null value in the called method/class..
I find it easier to implement the Runnable interface rather than extending a thread. This allows your class to extend another class (ie if you extend thread you can't extend something else, but if you implement Runnable you have the ability to inherit from something). Here's how I would write it:
public class SampleSynchronisation
public static void main(String[] args)
    SampleSynchronisation app = new SampleSynchronisation();
public SampleSynchronisation()
    MyRunnable runner = new MyRunnable();
    new Thread(runner).start();
    // yield this thread so other thread gets a chance to start
    Thread.yield();
    System.out.println("runner's X = " + runner.getX());
class MyRunnable implements Runnable
    String X = null;
    // this method called from the controlling thread
    public synchronized String getX()
      return X;
    public void run()
      System.out.println("Inside MyRunnable");
      X = "MyRunnable's data";
} // end class MyRunnable
} // end class SampleSynchronisation>
public class SampleSynchronisation
public static void main(String df[])
sampleThread sathr= new sampleThread();
sathr.start();
System.out.println("This is the value from the run
method "+sathr.x);
// I should get Inside the run method::: But I get
only Inside
class sampleThread extends Thread
public String x="Inside";
public void run()
x+="the run method";
NB: if i write the variable in to a file I am able to
read it from external method. This I dont want to do

Your main thread continues to run after the sathr thread is completed, consequently the output is done before the sathr thread has modified the string. You need to make the main thread pause, this will allow sathr time to run to the point where it will modify the string and then you can print it out. Another way would be to lock the object using a synchronized block to stop the main thread accessing the string until the sathr has finished with it.
