Using Formula in Pages Table (Syntax error)

I thought this would be simple, but I get a syntax error:
My Table
Date Start Date End Bytes Redo Rate (Mbps)
20/06/2010 11:00:00 PM 21/06/2010 03:00:00 AM 850,648,576 0
21/06/2010 11:00:00 PM 22/06/2010 03:00:00 AM 561,487,360 0.4456
22/06/2010 11:00:00 PM 23/06/2010 03:00:00 AM 486,454,784 0.3860
23/06/2010 11:00:00 PM 24/06/2010 03:00:00 AM 1,239,929,344 0.9840
24/06/2010 11:00:00 PM 25/06/2010 03:00:00 AM 1,365,600,256 1.0838
In the Redo Rate column I want a simple formula: ((C2/0.7)*8)/1000000
The current value in the last column I hand calculated, but the 0 (zero) is where the formula is supposed to be.
I enter it using Formula Editor as: =((C2 / 0.7) * 8) / 1000000 -- and there is the syntax error...
Can someone please help me... this was supposed to be simple...
Using Page '09
Thanks in advance for your attention and replies.
Andries

Here it behaves flawlessly.
I inserted the Bytes values without the thousands separators then applied the separators.
I'm running a French system so I can't test the behaviour of the English format.
I'm not sure that you are allowed to enter the commas by yourself.
Check if the cells are deciphered as Numbers.
I guess that they are treated as text.

Translation table syntax error

While trying to install oracle 815se on
Red Hat 6.1, the ./runInst.sh script
barfs copiously like this:
Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfCancel
Warning: ... found while parsing ':<Key>osfCancel: ManagerParentCancel()'
Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfSelect
Warning: ... found while parsing ':<Key>osfSelect: ManagerGadgetSelect()'
SIGSEGV 11* segmentation violation
stackbase=0xbffff600, stackpointer=0xbffff228
and then the installer just dies - I never even get to see a window: Anyone have any idea what might be causing this? It seems
vaguely AWT related, but I'm far from an expert on java...

Well, I finally figured it out:
the 815 installer needs files from the Xfree86 rpm to be installed, otherwise it falls over, so even on a headless server, you have to install X. [and not just the clients]
The actual command I had to issue was:
rpm --force -i XFree86-3.3.5-3.i386.rpm
Because rpm was complaining about locale.alias clashing with files from the glibc-2.1 package.

Persistent objects - base table syntax error

I've created a persistent object for a ztable, then the customer has asked me to change the counter field from numc 3 to numc 5, and also remove a field I've done this, and activated and adjusted the table in SE14.
Now, in SE24, I've gone in and adjusted the persistence mapping. When I activate the persistent class, I now get a syntax error in the base class, because it's still referring to components of the old table structure.
When we change the structure of the underlying table, do we have to delete and recreate the persistence classes? Is there a "repair" option?
( It seems it would be useful to have a tool that would generate a basic persistent class directly from a table ).
matt

Hi Matt,
There is no repair option. As far as I'm aware the persistence class builder function doesn't recognise changes to data types unfortunately. In similar circumstances I've solved the problem by deleting and recreating the class. It's not ideal but at least it's a quick process.

Steve.

Cannot change password on LPM page with syntax error / AD2008

Hi,
In the Lost password Management page, user are prompt to change the password by input the old and new password.
Identity/oblix/apps/lost_pwd_mgmt/bin/lost_pwd_mgmt.cgi?
After type in the new password and click save the following error shows:
"The Directory Server password syntax was violated. The password cannot be changed"
Using AD2008 with ADSI security mode. OAM 10.1.4.3.0 BP03 on all components. Any idea on the above error?
Appreciated for any feedback.
Thanks

Hi,
The error message means that AD is not accepting the value for the new password. Usually that means that there is a password policy in AD itself (perhaps which requires 1 upper case letter, 2 non-alphanumeric characters etc) which is causing the value to be rejected. If that is the case, you could match OAM's password policy to be as close as possible to AD's (so that OAM can do the validation before sending it off to AD).

Syntax error during transport on valid transfer routines

Dear All,
We have some routines in a tranfer structure that are valid and working just fine in DEV. But when we transport them to QA we get the following error message :-
Start of the after-import method for object type R3TR ISTS (Activation Mode)
Transfer structure 6DB_V_BW_EPISODE_AD activated under the name 6DB_V_BW_EPISODE_AD
It is not necessary to copy dependent objects for transfer structure 6DB_V_BW_EPISODE_AD
Syntax error in transfer routine for InfoObject OPEN_DAT
Activating Transfer Rules 6DB_V_BW_EPISODE_AD ...
47 Transfer Rule(s) of the transfer structure 6DB_V_BW_EPISODE_AD removed from control table
53 InfoObject(s) of the transfer structure 6DB_V_BW_EPISODE_AD removed from control table
Formulas have been saved
Syntax error in transfer routine for InfoObject OPEN_DAT
If we remove all the routines the activation works just fine even though our routines are valid and working just fine in DEV.
Can anyone explain this as this is becoming quite urgent now ?
Thanks in advance.
Craig

Hi Oliver
I work with Craig. In response to your question, what he means is that all objects independantly have been transported ok, apart from the transfer rules. If you look at the table RSTSRULES you will see a column called CONVROUT_L.
In our Dev system this field contains the BW generated rule code. Eg.
45GEGC5I66GA9Z5G4KFDDRIK4 against the Transfer structure. When the after import process runs, it uses the contents of this table together with the contents of the RSAABAP table which contains the code and creates the transfer rule program.
In RSAABAP we have the following code for CODEID '45GEGC5I66GA9Z5G4KFDDRIK4'
DATA: l_s_errorlog TYPE rssm_s_errorlog_int.
CHECK NOT &TS&-opened_date IS INITIAL.
IF &TS&-opened_date < '19000101'.
&RS& = '19900101'.
ELSEIF &TS&-opened_date > '29990101'.
&RS& = '19900101'.
ELSE.
&RS& = &TS&-opened_date.
ENDIF.
returncode <> 0 means skip this record
&RE& = 0.
abort <> 0 means skip whole data package !!!
&AB& = 0.
In our QA system the column is blank because of the wierd Syntax problem when generating the program, therefore the transfer rules dont get activated.
As you can see there is no problem with the ABAP.

Mark

Regarding EDI: Syntax error in IDoc (segment cannot be identified)

Hi,
My requirement is that I was adding two diffrent field values under two diffrent segments as "E1EDKA1" and "E1EDK02" in outbound invoice IDOCS, INVOIC02 (process code: SD09 - IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC).
I am getting the IDOC number through Tcode "VF02". Can any body give me idea how to check that syntax error in debug mode.
Please find the following error details using TCODE "WE02".
*EDI: Syntax error in IDoc (segment cannot be identified)*
*Message no. E0 078*
*Diagnosis*
*The segment E1EDKA1 does not occur at the current level of the basic type INVOIC02 (extension ).*
*This error can have several reasons:*
*The segment E1EDKA1 is assigned to a group whose header segment does not occur.*
*The segment E1EDKA1 does not exist in the syntax description of the basic type INVOIC02 (extension ).*
*The sequence of segments in the group in which the segment appears is incorrect.*
*Previous errors ('mandatory' segment or group missing) may be due to this error.*
Please help me to resolve this problem. <REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
Regards,
Skumar.
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Apr 28, 2008 1:09 PM

It seems that you added segment E1EDKA1 at a place where it is not supposed to be. That's where this error is coming from. The structure of every IDOC is definded by SAP standard and you cannot change the sequence or the level of standard segments. If you require a certain field at a certain level you have to add that field to a Z-segment and then add that Z-segment where appropriate in your extension.
Hope that helps,
Michael

1084: Syntax error: expecting rightbrace before rightparen

Hi,
I am getting the following error when using the below code:
1084: Syntax error: expecting rightbrace before rightparen.
Code:
Buttons.Btn_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,Btn_2ClickHandler);
function Btn_2ClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL (new URLRequest ("http://Main/New_Projects/Album-2.htm"), "_self"));
I am getting this error only after adding , "_self")
Please help.

You appear to have one too many right parenthesis in that line. The number of rights should equal the lefts.

Older Business HTML and Dynamic Page Table question

I am not sure if anyone will know here (or if this is the best place to post), but I have a question concerning using the Business HTML template library controls/API for use with ITS. I am attempting to use the "Dynamic Page Table" control, and have hit some problems. Does anyone have any example code they can share on getting this to work correctly (ie, paging through records, selecting from rows, etc)? I have "torn apart" the underlying Javascript and even modified my code to adjust for some formatting issues that the API's do not handle, however, my "pages" all display at once in the beginning and only hide when I use one of the paging icons (forward,back,all back, etc). THe "isVisible" parameter seems to do nothing for the "page" DIVs. Currently running the latest version of ITS and R/3 4.6b on the backend if that helps. Also, the example from the SAP Design Guild cookbook is very basic and does not "page" as I need. Thanks in advance!

Sorry, but it doesn't help JTANNA.
What is your definition of "more efficiently"? If it's limitation of search results, branded search, and limitation of styling your results then google search is more efficient. Real developers rely on their own developments. For example: how can google search display results from a password-protected site? They can't.

This is to do with the .htaccess file on your server.
You either need to deal with this and open it with an html editor or change your web host.
Do a search of this forum and there are plenty of posts that relate to parse error and .htaccess pages. Have a look on the right hand side of this post and you will see similar ones like yours.

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

Syntax Error when using SQL Expression

Morning all,
When I try to type any SQL Expression within Crystal I am getting syntax errors, even when I type only SELECT {field name} FROM {table name}.
Here is the query I did which gave me the following error:
Query
SELECT order_progress . date_created
FROM order_progress
WHERE order_progress . order_no = order_header . order_no
AND order_progress . order_status =77
ORDER BY order_progress . date_created DESC
Error
Error in compiliing SQL Expression
Database connector Error: 'HY000[Informix] [Informix ODBC Driver]General Error. Syntax Error[Database Vendor Code-11060]'.
Now this means, 1: I am getting a connection error with my db, for no apperent reason. 2: my syntax is not approved?!
Can someone explain why is this happening and how to resolve this?
many thanks

Morning Kyle,
Thanks for the informative answer, I have found out the formula which counts number of days however, I am not sure what you meant by the following:
>
Kyle McAdam wrote:
> create a formula that does the datediff....this will be a group.
Done this, it counts the working days as in weekdays and takes bank holidays out as well
here is the formula:
WhileReadingRecords;
//{order_progress.order_status}= 77;
//{order_header.order_status}>=77;
Local DateVar Start := {order_header.date_entered}; // Starting Date
Local DateVar End := {order_header.act_despatch}; // Ending Date
Local NumberVar Weeks;
Local NumberVar Days;
Local Numbervar Hol;
DateVar Array Holidays;
Weeks:= (Truncate (End - dayofWeek(End) + 1
- (Start - dayofWeek(Start) + 1)) /7 ) * 5;
Days := DayOfWeek(End) - DayOfWeek(Start) + 1 +
(if DayOfWeek(Start) = 1 then -1 else 0) +
(if DayOfWeek(End) = 7 then -1 else 0);
Local NumberVar i;
For i := 1 to Count (Holidays)
do (if DayOfWeek ( Holidays<i>) in 2 to 6 and
Holidays<i> in start to end then Hol:=Hol+1 );
Weeks + Days - Hol;
You will then have a formula field that is evaluated to 1, if the status is 77.
you mean second formula? How I used,
If Order_header.Order_Status=77 then
1
else
2;
however this doesn't seem to be working.
> Now, sum that formula in each group footer. Suppress the detail lines...
which formula to sum up?
> **Don't use a cross tab with this solution. For a cross tab, you would have to calculate the totals in a different manner.
so far I used Cross tab and it is showing the right days, however not showing the correct jobs per day.
You might be right there that it calculates the totals differently, additionally how am I suppose to get the right Percentage if using the Cross tab. The percentage should be, count of number of jobs % Total jobs.
hence:
{#NumofJobs} % {#Total_Jobs}
however, when I create this formula it does not let me add that into the cross tab.
I also need to put a subreport in my report, can I use Crosstab to contain a link to my subreport?
Many thanks

Syntax Error in Filter with USING

I have an expenditure and I need to select it for a particular group value. To display it in the OBIEE analysis, I am using a Pivot table and Summary Group is the measure label.
My issue is I have a condition that the Expenditure for a particular summary group <> 0. Below is what I had and then received the error.
My Filter is:
Column = "Fact - Snapshot Aggregate"."Fye Dc Expenditure" USING ("Summary Group"."Summary Group" IN ('Agency Fees', 'IDC'))
Operator = is not equal
Value = 0
When doing so i receive the following error:
Formula syntax is invalid.
[nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 27002] Near : Syntax error [nQSError: 26012] . (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT "Fact - Aggregate"."Expenditure" USING ("Summary Group"."Summary Group" IN ('IDC')) FROM "Grants Snapshot"
I don't see what is wrong with the syntax. Any help is appreciated

Srini,
Thank you for replying.
I have tried that as well. I have FILTER("Fact - Aggregate"."Expenditure" USING ("Summary Group"."Summary Group" IN ('IDC'))). The same error occurs:
Formula syntax is invalid.
[nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 26002] Near <'>: End of input has been reached. Illegal syntax. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT FILTER("Fact - Snapshot Aggregate"."Expenditure" USING ("Summary Group"."Summary Group" IN ('IDC'))) FROM "Grants Snapshot"
I have to do it again with a two word value "A B". I am finding the error is mainly happening on that one. Before I had them ("A B", "IDC") but removed "A B" and it worked. Not with just "A B" it doesn't work.

BODS 4.2 Cannot import the metadata table, RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN syntax error

Hi all, we installed BODS 4.2 server to substitute a 4.1, but we are facing the error:
Error: Cannot import the metadata table <name=T001>
RFC CallReceive error <Function /BODS/RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN: RFC_ABAP_RUNTIME_FAILURE -(Exception Key: Syntax error in program /BODS/SAPLBODS....
We already tried the solution for when people get the error related to unicode.
Also, we are able to pull data via extractors, it only fails when loading Tables....
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Dear,
You will have to import the new ABAP Function Group "BODS/BODS".
Here are some details:
Installing Functions on the SAP Server
SAP BusinessObjects Data Services provides functions that support the use of the ABAP, BAPI, and
IDoc interfaces on SAP servers. You will need some or all of these functions in the normal operation
of the software in an SAP environment. These functions perform such operations as dynamically loading
and executing ABAP programs from Data Services, efficiently running preloaded ABAP programs,
allowing for seamless metadata browsing and importing from SAP servers, and reporting the status of
running jobs. Some of these functions read data from SAP NetWeaver BW sources.
You must upload the provided functions to your SAP server in a production environment. It is
recommended that you always upload the functions to your SAP server whether you are in a
development, test, or production environment. The functions provide seamless integration between
Data Services and SAP servers.
The default installation places two function module files for SAP servers in the ...\Data
Services\Admin\R3_Functions\transport directory. You then upload these files to SAP servers
using the SAP Correction and Transport System (CTS) or manually. Using CTS allows for version
control as the functions evolve across releases.
The installation provides two versions of transport files (depending on the server version you are using)
to install the functions on the SAP server. To obtain the names of the latest transport files for installing
or upgrading these SAP server functions, see the readme.txt file
And I've found those files and text files in the local install folder....in:
Program Files\SAP BusinessObjects\Data Services\admin\R3_Functions
(that's where I've installed it).
There you'll find some descriptive txt as how to proceed.
After installing, it might happen that the executing user is missing some authorizations.
Here my authorizations team helped me by tracing the user and then adding the necessary rights.
Sure hope this will help you.
