Using a variable/drop down list in header of planning layout

Dear all,
I have created a simple BPS application for purely GL planning (No CO related objects like cost centre involved). I have the following characteristics in the header of the manuel planning layout.
Business area
Chart of accounts
Company code
Currency
Currency Type
Fiscal year
Fiscal Year Variant
Fiscal year/period
Value type
Version
I have created variables for Business area, Fiscal Year, Fiscal Year Period, Posting Period and Version. The client wants either a variable or a drop down list for these characteristics in the header in the web application. When I assign a variable and put the characteristic in header, I get the error message in the web application saying header characteristic can only have a fixed value. Can someone tell me if it is possible and if so than how? I'll be very grateful for any inputs. Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Sumit

Hi,
When you create a variable, assign some values to the variable. These then become available in the drop down box. Ths first time a Web interface is called, these variable values are initial.As a result, u get the error messages. Select the variable values and then the error message should go away.
Thanks,

Environment Variable Drop Down List

Hi
Apologies if this is a daft question, but is there any way to get the 'Use environment variable' drop down list in the 'Set Parameter Value' popup window in SQL Server Management Studio to order alphabetically by variable name?
Currently, in my list I have over 100 variables for various SSIS projects and this number grows weekly. When I create new environment variables and then try to assign them to project parameters/connections, it can be very time consuming to find them in
the drop down list as there is no sort applied to the presented variable Names.
If there is a solution for this then it would make my SSIS deployments so much easier and less time consuming.
Many thanks.

Creating a formula using a alphabetic drop down list?

I am creating a work sheet using formulas and drop down list. I have one drop down list that has a list of name and the second list is a list of letter that correspond to those names. (ex: column "J" on line "4 - 29" there is the letter
"A-Z" and then continues , in column "K" line "4" starts the list of names. In Cell B4 is the drop down list of names in column "K" to choose from, I would like the letter that corresponds to that name automatically
be put into cell A4, how do I create the formula in cell A4?

Hi Tina,
According to your description, please following these steps:
With your sample as shown in the following figure, select range “J4:K29”, and click
FORMULAS-Defined Names-Create from Selection, and check
Right column.
Then, use the enter formula in A4 “=INDIRECT(B4)”.
And I upload a TEXT.xlsx file on OneDrive, you can download this file via this link:

How to use images in drop down list ...

Hi, i am making a form, which have to include drop down menu with images, for example when you push the drop down list the choices must be small images with vegetables, is it possible to make this with livecycle or with some of adobe products

See if this will help. There's quite a bit going on in each button, and the settings to make it look right is pretty important. Also, there is a global variable for tracking whether or not the "drop down" is open. There is a good bit of functionality missing from this that would be in a drop down menu, but I think it might suffice as a starting point. Some kind of "scroll bar" would be needed if the list you're using gets too big.

Variable drop-down lists according to radio-button input

I need to restrict the display of drop-down lists according to a particular radio-button selection earlier on the form. Can I use a javascript call on the client side without linking to an external database along these lines:
If radiobutton1 == 1
then dropdownlist1 uses list1
elseif radiobutton1 == 2
then dropdownlist1 uses list2
and so forth.
Obviously the syntax is incorrect, but I need to know if it can be done before digging in further.

Let's assume we have tree grouped radio buttons in a group of buttons, and a combo box object which displays a different list of elements depending of the chosen option.
A very simple way to do it would be, for example, the following one:
b [*] Radio Button Group - OnClick Event
i // List of elements that will be loaded in the combo box object
> var colorList = new Array("White","Blue","Red","Green");
> var dayList = new Array("Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday");
> var tmarkList = new Array("Nike","Adidas","Reebook","Levis");
i // ComboBox Object
> var combo = xfa.resolveNode("Formulario1.ComboBox");
i // Cleaning the combo...
> combo.clearItems();
> combo.addItem("Select one option to the list","");
i // Filling the Combo
i // "this" returns a button group where there are three radio buttons
i // and the "rawValue" returns the selected index chosen in radio
i // buttons.
> switch(this.rawValue)
> {
> case "1":
> for(nJ = 0; nJ < colorList.length; nJ++)
> combo.addItem(colorList[nJ]);
> break;
> case "2":
> for(nJ = 0; nJ < dayList.length; nJ++)
> combo.addItem(dayList[nJ]);
> break;
> case "3":
> for(nJ = 0; nJ < tmarkList.length; nJ++)
> combo.addItem(tmarkList[nJ]);
> break;
>}

How can I use two drop down lists for one time value?

I want to enter the length of time that someone does an activity in hours and minutes using two drop down lists, then enter them as a single time value (H:i:s) in Mysql.
I've used the basic drop down lists, and a few different variations of the following with no success (seconds is a hidden field with a value of "00"):
GetSQLValueString(strftime('%H:%i:%s', strtotime($_POST["sleeptimemin"]." ".$_POST["sleeptimehr"]." ".$_POST["seconds"])), "date"),
This returns 00:00:16, no matter what is selected on the drop down list.
Any help would be appreciated.

MySQL stores times in human-understandable format, using the 24-hour clock.
GetSQLValueString($_POST['sleeptimehr'] . ':' . $_POST['sleeptimemin'] . ':00', "date"),

I am having trouble (sleepless nights) with populating a drop-down list from an Access Database. The result is: I only get the first record from the data connection. So the connection works but I cannot go through the other records. Maybe there is an other way to do this.
I am trying to selectively fill a form with data from an MS-access database.
I hope someone can help me.

If you email the access DB and the form to [email protected], I will try to take a look at it for you.

Populate drop-down list in table row or repeating subform

I am currently working on an Adobe Interactive Form integrated with web dynpro ABAP. I would like to create a table or repeating subform with a number of drop-down lists populated from SAP.
I am using the Enumerated Drop-down list from the WebDynproNative menu. In my WDDOINIT method, I am populating the attributes using the set_attribute_value_set method. This is working fine when my dropdown is not in a table or repeating subform. The dropdown is populated and the selected value is returned to SAP when submitting the form. However, when I place the dropdown in a table row or a repeating subform, the dropdown is not populated.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi There,
I am facing problem in Dropdown lists in Subforms.
I want the region dropdown list values according to country (only for DE) dropdown list value. Both Dropdown lists are in a Subform.
For that, I have used this in EXIT event of Country Dropdown list:
if (this.rawValue == "DE Deutschland")
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.clearItems();
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Schleswig-Holstein","1");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Hamburg","2");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Niedersachsen","3);
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Bremen","4");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Nordrhein-Westfalen","5");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Hessen","6");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Rheinland-Pfalz","7");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Baden-Württemberg","8");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Bayern","9");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Saarland","10");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Berlin","11");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Brandenburg","12");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Mecklenburg-Vorpomme","13");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Sachsen","14");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Sachsen-Anhalt","15");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Thüringen","16");
else
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.clearItems();
It does only change first region dropdownlist value, not others because both dropdown lists are in a Subform.
Other problem is that it works only when All Country Dropdown lists are "DE". Means, first region dropdown list depends upon not only first country dropdown but also other dropdown.
My requirement is, If first country Dropdown is "DE", only first Region Dropdown list should be fill, not others. And so on.
Please provide solution that How can I change all dropdown lists of a Subform dynamically?
Waiting for reply.
Thank you
Chandler Bing

I have a simple planing function ( copy function: Version1 => Version2 ), Version2 the target version is a BEx Variable and a parameter of the copy planing function.
basicly i want to put a drop down list on a Excel Planing Layout to manipulate the BEx Variable (Version 2 - the target version). So that the user can fill the BEx Variable by selecting the version by the dropdown list.
In BW-BPS is quite simple -but unfortunately i dont know how it works in BW-IP.

Hello Mike,
First you create two Drop Down lists (Dimension Version, Read Mode Masterdata table) in your workbook. Now go to the Visual basic editor (alt+F11) and you will find the following code for each Drop Down list:
Public Sub DROPDOWN_22_LostFocus()
Dim lComboBoxName As String
Dim BEx1 As Object
On Error Resume Next
lComboBoxName = "DROPDOWN_22"
Set BEx1 = Application.Run("BExAnalyzer.xla!GetBEx")
Call BEx1.RaiseComboBoxChange(Parent.Name, lComboBoxName)
End Sub
Comment the last line and add a function to output the chosen value to a cell in the workbook
Public Sub DROPDOWN_22_LostFocus()
Dim lComboBoxName As String
Dim BEx1 As Object
Dim version As String
'Call Dropdown List
On Error Resume Next
lComboBoxName = "DROPDOWN_22"
Set BEx1 = Application.Run("BExAnalyzer.xla!GetBEx")
'Call BEx1.RaiseComboBoxChange(Parent.Name, lComboBoxName)
'get version
version = DROPDOWN_22.Text
'output chosen version to a cell in the workbook
Range("C801").FormulaR1C1 = version
End Sub
Now add a command range to your workbook (VAR_VALUE_1,1, <VERSION>). Thats it.
If you need further information dont hesitate to ask me!

Webdynpro for ABAP - interactive Adobe form - drop down lists not working

Hi all,
I'm trying to create an interactive form for a client using webdynpro for ABAP and I've viewed the demo "Create SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe with Web Dynpro for ABAP" by Thomas Jung, but when I implement it the form following similar steps the form is not interactive.
In the properties of the "InterativeForm", I've tried clicking the "enabled" flag both on and off. I've also tried setting the "displayType" property to both "ActiveX" and "Native". But none of this worked.
I though my problem might be with Adobe reader so I switched from 8.0 back to 7.0 but this didn't make any difference either.
The system we are using is NW04s WAS 700. Any hints would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
-tom

Thanks for the suggestion Dezso. I've downloaded a newer version of ACF as indicated by the OSS note and installed it. I'm still having the same issue.
My basic question is what options should I be using in the form and on the InteractiveForm component? It looks like because of the evolution of the product there are multiple options available. I recall reading somewhere that as of a certain SP level we should have ZCI (zero client install) available. The would be our preference. It will be a support nightmare if each user needed a manual download of ACF.exe installed.
Should I click the "enabled" flag on the InteractiveForm object? When I create the form should I use the "Native" drop down list or the one from the "Active X" tab? I would like to use the "List Box" control on the form as well but it is only available in the "Standard" tab. So does that mean I can't get the selections from a "List Box"?
Thanks,-tom

Dynamic Drop-down list - selected value can't be cleared ...

1. check out the following code of a dynamic drop down list using cursor :-
DECLARE
     -- DROP-DOWN LIST OF ALL DEPARTMENTS
     TEMPNUMBER NUMBER(2) := 2 ;
-- Because we've to initialize the list
-- at least with 1 item.
CURSOR C_DEPT IS
     SELECT DEPT_ID FROM DEPARTMENT;
BEGIN
     ABORT_QUERY ;
     CLEAR_LIST('DEPTLIST');
     FOR TEMP IN C_DEPT LOOP
     ADD_LIST_ELEMENT( 'DEPTLIST', TEMPNUMBER, TEMP.DEPT_ID, TEMP.DEPT_ID );
     :SRBLOCK.LST := TEMP.DEPTNO;
     -- prev. line set the newly selected value
     TEMPNUMBER := TEMPNUMBER + 1 ;
     END LOOP;
END;
2. problem is as we've to atleast initialize with one list item... that item can't be cleared with CLEAR_LIST.
3. how can i actually clear that and still use cursor. because i've searched forum for this thing and found all those code not working ... for my project ...
4. quick help needed ...

Hi Omar,
I have solution for you
To populating or refreshing the lists you can use
two procedures:
One of them - generic, which can be used for all types of list
Another is specific which contain a SQL statement to retrieve the data for
particular list.
1. Specific procedure:
PROCEDURE GET_DEPARTMENT_LIST
IS
sql_stat VARCHAR2(32767);
ret_code NUMBER;
BEGIN
-- SQL Statement for Drop-down List
-- (must have two columns for label and value - both VARCHAR2)
sql_stat := ' SELECT DEPARTMENT_NAME,TO_CHAR(DEPT_ID)'
||' FROM SCHEMA.DEPARTMENT';
POPULATE_MY_LIST('BLOCK.DEPARTMENT_LIST',sql_stat,ret_code);
END;
2. Generic procedure:
PROCEDURE POPULATE_MY_LIST
(item_name VARCHAR2,
sql_stat VARCHAR2,
out_code OUT NUMBER)
IS
rg_id RECORDGROUP;
rg_name VARCHAR2(100);
ret_code NUMBER;
item_id ITEM;
BEGIN
     item_id := FIND_ITEM(item_name);
     IF ID_NULL(item_id) THEN
          out_code := -1;
          RETURN;
     END IF;
     --Creating Record Group with Unique Name
     rg_name := 'RG_'||SUBSTR(item_name,INSTR(item_name,'.',1)+1,LENGTH(item_name));
     --Checking Record Group Name for existance
     rg_id := FIND_GROUP(rg_name);
     --If Group does exist - delete it
     IF NOT ID_NULL(rg_id) THEN
          DELETE_GROUP(rg_id);
     END IF;
     --Creating Record Group
     rg_id := CREATE_GROUP_FROM_QUERY(rg_name,sql_stat);
ret_code := POPULATE_GROUP(rg_id);
IF (ret_code <> 0) THEN
     out_code := ret_code;
     RETURN;
END IF;
POPULATE_LIST(item_name,rg_id);
IF NOT FORM_SUCCESS THEN
     out_code := -2;
     RETURN;
ELSE
out_code := 0;
END IF;
DELETE_GROUP(rg_id);
END;
Hope it help.

Value drop down list control in ADOBE Form

We are on SP16 currently. We are developing an ADOBE interactive online
form using ABAP WebDynpro.
To display search help of a few fields like Vendor Number, G/L Account
Number, Cost Center, we are using 'Value Help Drop Down List' control
availalbe in WebDynpro Native group.
After the form gets loaded on the broswer, first time the search help
control works absolutely fine for any of the field. But only once. Once
one search help gets displayed, none of the other search value drop
down control gets clicked. But please note that normal drop down (with
fixed values) gets clicked and allows to choose any entry from it. It
also allows to enter values into other text box controls. Only Search
Value Drop Down list stops working.
For Example: We have 2 search help drop down list controls (one for
LIFNR and another for WERKS) and 1 drop down list control (Fixed Values
to be displayed for selection).
After form gets displayed on ABAP WebDynpro, if we click on LIFNR, the
search help for LIFNR will come and it will allow to select vendor
number from it. But after that, it doesn't allow to select WERKS nor
even to LIFNR. If we click on WERKS first, it will work perfactly fine
but then, it will not allow LIFNR or WERKS after that. In any of the
case, it will always allow to select the values from Fixed Value Drop
down list.
Please note that we dont have SAP Portal into the landscape.
Is there any bug in the control?
Please provide the solution ASAP.

Hi Reema,
We are using ZCI type of form. So, I dont think there is any need to run the report for ZCI_Update.
And the display type of Interactive Form in ABAP WebDynpro is 'NATIVE' which is the same we dragged the control from (WebDynpro Native).
Is there any work around to display search helps on ADOBE Interactive forms apart of this control?
Appreciate your quick answer.
Thanks & Regardss,
Sandip Kamdar

How to initialize a Prompt drop-down list using a Repository Variable.

Hi,
the aim is to fill a drop-down list of a Year prompt only with year values that can provide data.
This Show list SQL statement works:
SELECT Time."Year" FROM "AnalysisCatalog"
WHERE Time."Year" <= 2007
Using the maxYear Repository Variable does not work:
SELECT Time."Year" FROM "AnalysisCatalog"
WHERE Time."Year" <= @{biServer.variables[’maxYear’]}
Error Codes: G689FFB3:SDKE4UTF
Expression: biServer.variables[’maxYear’]
How can I achive the result without hardcoding the Year 2007?
Mny thx Thomas

Hi,
Actually this error does not cause any harm except a presentation inconvenience. In my multi-select prompt I am using variable expression with dynamic repository variable. Dashboard results are correct. Just variable's value does not appear on page (error Error Codes: G689FFB3:SDKE4UTF
Expression: @{biServer.variables['CUR_CAL_PER_MONTH_NAME']}). Pushing "GO" button on the prompt fixing the error but it's actually second execution of the dashboard.
Any ideas ??

How do I pass a username form variable from a drop down list/menu to another page?

Hi,
I have a login_success.php page that has a drop down list/menu (which lists usernames). I want the user to click on their user name, and when they click the submit button the username information to be passed over to the username.php page which will contain a recordset, sorted by username.
How do I pass the username info from the drop down list/menu to the username.php page?
The drop down menu is connected to a recordset listUsername, I have filtered the recordset with the Form Variable = username, and I have used the POST method to send the username to the page username.php. I'm not sure how to structure the php or which page to place it on.
<form id="form1" name="form1 method="post" action="username.php">
     <label for="username_id">choose username:</label>
     <select name="username_id" id-"username_id">
          <option value="1">username1</option>
          <option value="2">username2</option>
          <option value="3">username3</option>
          <option value="4">username4</option>
     </select>
     <input type="submit" name="send" id="send" value="Submit" />
     <input type="username" type="hidden" id="username" value="<?php echo $row_listUsername['username']; ?>" />
</form>
Could somebody help me please?
Thanks.

I would not post the variable over, In this case I personally would send it through the URL and use the $_GET method to retreve it. For Example.
<html>
     <head>
          <title>Test Page</title>
          <script type="text/javascript">
               function userID(){
                    //var ID = form1.userIDs.selectedIndex;
                    var user = form1.userIDs.options[form1.userIDs.selectedIndex].value;
                    window.location = "test.html?userID=" + user;
          </script>
     </head>
     <body>
          <form id="form1">
               <select name="userIDs" id="userIDs" onchange="userID();">
                    <option>Select a User</option>
                    <option value="1">User 1</option>
                    <option value="2">User 2</option>
                    <option value="3">User 3</option>
                    <option value="4">User 4</option>
               </select>
          </form>
     </body>
</html>
//PAGE TO RETRIEVE THE USERNAME
<?php
if(isset($_GET['userID'])
     $userID = $_GET['userID'];
     echo $userID;
     die;
