VALUE USING GLOBAL VARIABLE

Hello
I made a Global Variable XX_DATE in Transaction Form Personalization with a value =:TACC_ACC_ASSGN.GL_POSTED_DATE.
I'm planning to get the value from XX_DATE to one of the fields in Receipts thru Receipt Personalization.
But a got the following error when I validate the value in Actions
FRM-40815: Variable GLOBAL.XX_DATE does not exist.
The String =:GLOBAL.XX_DATE could not be evaluated because of an errorAny help on this please?
I just wanted to transfer data (GL_POSTED_DATE) from Transactions to Receipts using Global Variable.
Any other ideas?
Thanks a lot
emgeee

In WHEN_NEW_FORM_INSTANCE set the property INITIAL_VALUE for the global variable.

How do I see values of global variables in a SAP system

Hi Guys
How do I get to see the values of global variables DIR_GLOBAL etc.
Actually I wanted to run an archive for some IDOCs, and I configured a filepath for the same and gave it an address to my local system, now when I use SARA and after customising the logical path it gives me an error stating that "Logical file path is not completely maintained".
So I resorted to one of the predefined paths ARCHIVE_DATA_FILE and it archived successfully but I am not able to figure out the exact path of the archived file can you please help??
Best regards
Sujoy

Hello Sujoy,
Execute transaction FILE, double click on Logical File Name Definition, then, scroll down to find ARCHIVE_DATA_FILE - double click on ARCHIVE_DATA_FILE. Note what is entered in the Logical path field and then, go to Logical File Path Definition. Look for the path name from previous step and highlight/select it and click on Assignment of Physical Paths to Logical Path. From there, you can double click on the relevant Syntax group. This will give you the path for where the archive file has been written to.
I hope this explanation is not too confusing :-).

Using Global variable in Record Group

Hi,
I have a requirement where in I need to pull a column name from a table and then use that value in the select statement of a record group. I have tried using global variables but it is not working. Here is the record group I would like to use.
RG_DOMAIN is based on LOV_DOMAIN
SELECT :GLOBAL.DOMAIN_COLUMN_NAME, DESCRIPTION FROM
DM_T_DOMAIN_VALUES
WHERE DOMAIN_NAME := BLOCK.ATTRIBUTE;
In the Key-Listval I have a select statement in which does this :
SELECT DOMAIN_COLUMN
INTO :GLOBAL.DOMAIN_COLUMN_NAME
FROM DM_T_DOMAIN_RULES WHERE DOMAIN_NAME = :BLOCK.ATTRIBUTE;
SHOW_LOV('LOV_DOMAIN');
The problem is I am not getting the value I am just getting the Domain_column name. For example for Domain_name 'CALC_TYP' the Domain_column is COLUMN_10 and I just see COLUMN_10 my LOV when I want to see the value of COLUMN_10 from the DM_T_DOMAIN_VALUES table.
I tried using Name_in and Copy but not working. Can anyone suggest a solution?
Thanks

Francois ,
I tried this but I am getting error saying record group does not exist. Can you tell me what should I go in Populate_group... and show_lov..maybe I am doing something wrong?
Declare
LC$Req Varchar2(512) ;
Begin
LC$Req := 'SELECT ' || :GLOBAL.DOMAIN_COLUMN_NAME || ' FROM ....' ;
Create_Group_From_Query( rg_group, LC$Req ) ;
Populate_group(RG_DOMAIN); ?? --- is this correct?
Show_Lov(LOV_DOMAIN) ; -- and is this correct?
End;

Using Global Variables in Data Quality Address Cleanse Transforms

I am currently developing in Data Services 12.2.
I am trying to dynamically populate the List Owner information in the option tabs of the USA Regulatory Address Cleanse by using global variables. It populates the 3553 with the variable name instead of the value assigned.
According to the Technical Manual, it is possible to use global variables in Data Quality Address Cleanse transforms:
However, you can use substitution parameters in all places where global variables are supported, for example:
Query transform WHERE clauses
Mappings
SQL transform SQL statement identifiers
Flat-file options
User-defined transforms
Address cleanse transform options
Matching thresholds
Does anyone know if it is possible to use global variables in the option tab of the Address Cleanse; if so, can you describe how it is done?
Thanks in advance,
Rick

Passing values to global variables while running job via management console

Hi All,
I have a requirement, where I have to use HANA view with input parameters as source. I am doing the same by placing the HANA query for view with input parameters, in SQL transform and assigning values to placeholders using global variables. This is working fine at the designer level.
But where I am stuck is, it possible to pass values to global variables while running job in Management console or in a third party scheduler. Should I do any changes in the batch job to achieve the same ?
Please help me with the same and also let me know whether my approach of using Global variables to assign values to input parameter of HANA view is right?
Thanks,
Deepa

Select Batch > Batch Job Configuration > Add Schedule and Expand the Global Variables section in the Schedule Batch Job tab. You can then specify a value for all your global variables.
Alternatively, work with control tables and assign values to the global variables in an initialisation script.

Using global variable in package

Hi. I have created a function (Retrieve_SerialNo) which returns a variable, which I use throughout my package. I would like to assign this variable as a global variable to be used by all functions and procedures in the package. Can someone help me in the declaration of this variable as a global variable? Also, is it necessary for me to initialize this variable whenever the package executes. If yes, how would I do this?
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY Supply_Item_Interface AS
FUNCTION Retrieve_SerialNo RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
    v_serial_no VARCHAR2(20);
    CURSOR Serial_Code IS
      SELECT S.Serial_Code
        FROM Spare_Parts s, Orders r
       WHERE s.serial_code = r.serial_code;
BEGIN
    OPEN Serial_Code;
    LOOP
      FETCH Serial_Code
        INTO v_serial_no;
      EXIT WHEN Serial_Code%NOTFOUND;
      v_serial_no := v_serial_no;
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE Serial_Code;
    RETURN v_serial_no;
EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
      RETURN NULL;
END;

A variable defined in a procedure is only visible within that procedure.
A variable defines in a package body. is visible within that package body (i.e. procedures and functions in that package body can "see" that variable.
A variable defined in the package definition? Well, who can see the definitions of procedures and function in a a package header/definition? Everyone else basically (other PL/SQL packages and procedures and functions). So this is also true for variables defined in the package interface. These are global variables that not only can be used by the code in that package's body, but also can be used by other packages and PL/SQL code.
So when you create a global variable you need to decide on its scope:
- define it in package header for global usage in all PL/SQL code
- define it in package body for global usage within that package only
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY Supply_Item_Interface AS
..snipped..Ugly code as there is no need to use an explicit cursor if returning a value from a single row. Also buggy code. If there are multiple rows returned by the cursor, the function returns the serial of the last random row. How does this make sense?
This is what I would expect to see from a function like this. You pass it a unique identifier and it returns the applicable attribute (column) value for it.
E.g.
create or replace function GetSerialNo( orderNo number ) return number is
serialNo number;
begin
select
    s.serial_code into serialNo
from spare_parts s,
       orders o
where s.serial_code = o.serial_code
and o.order_no = orderNo;
return( serialNo );
exception when NO_DATA_FOUND then
return( null )
end;Also note that there is no need to write ugly uppercase code. This is not a proper coding standard. Programming standards for all languages (ranging from C# to Java to Delphi to Visual Basic to C/C++) specify that camelcase should be used for variables and pascalcase for procedures/functions/methods. Uppercase is very seldom used and then only for constant names and compiler options/flags for example.
Coding reserved words in uppercase? That is just plain silly - and not found in today's programming languages. Do yourself a favour and forget the idiotic standards used by some for PL/SQL and look at the standards for Java and .Net/C# - as the latter are the de facto standards for programming (and have been for the last 2 decades and more).

Incorrect value for global variable

Hi,
I am facing an issue in a query. In the query there is a Global variable 'Volume type'. In the default value tab of the variable it is given Default value as Litre. In the table RSZGLOBV also i have checked the global variable and there also the 'Internal Characterestic value' is shown as Litre itself. But when I execute the query, it is giving an out put like:
For the keyfigure Volume,
If the keyfigure is having some non zero value, it is showing Litre.
If the kayfigure value is zero, it is showing KG.(which is wrong). For zero also it should display 0.00KG.
Please help.

Hi Nitin,
changing the default within the variable would impact all queries.
Only if it was an exit variable, you could define within the exit to do different things depending on the query.
I would suggest the user uses personalization - but this impacts all queries where this variable is used for this user.

Use global variable to transfer user parameter in some Vi

Hello,
I have troubles when I use a global variable to transfer the parameter to a first Vi (user interface) to a second vi (acquisition interface).
In the first Vi, the user paramater is wrote to my global variable.
In the second Vi, the acquisition parameter is read to my global variable.
This 2 Vis are include to a master Vi who synchronized by the error bus.
The problem :
For the first use, the user parameter is transfer to the global variable but the acquisition vi read the old parameter. In the second use, acquisition vi read the first use parameter.
After I use the IN/OUT parameter subvi and i have too this problem.
Thanks for help.

Labview uses the dataflow to chain the execution. That is, as soon as one item of data is ready is is presented to the next stage.
Global (or local) variables do not easily fit in there. A variable is always present and ready to give away it's data. It does not matter that you write to it in one vi. Another vi, that is running concurrently is not aware that the content may have changed.
Especially if you reference variables outside of loops, the value is taken just once and never updated. Be aware! If in doubt, use the tracing facilty (the light bulb) to follow the data flow.

Using global variable read status

Hi Experts,
I need to change the Note based o the Service Ticket status. I declared global variable as a string in ZL_ICCMP_BT_BTSHEADER_IMPL (Component: ICCMP_BTSHEAD; View: BTSHeader)
And I am passing the Status to this global variable using the GET and SET methods of the STRUCT.ACT_STATUS attribute in BTSTATUSH node in same component and view.
I referred this global variable in DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT of the component ICCMP_BTTEXT/TextView to set the Note as shown below.
if ZL_ICCMP_BT_BTSHEADER_IMPL=>GC_STATUS = 'E0001'.
I would like to know whether this approach is the best way to read status or any other optimistic approach is there to follow for my this scenario. Please advise me.
Thanks
Chand

Hi Basha,
If you are using static variables, i wouldn't recommend using this approach.. there are better approach to get/set values in web client session which avoids setting/clearing static variables etc..
you can follow below approach..
1. To Get/set the variable in ic session to avoid the static variable.. for eg global cuco is available which you can use for this purpose.
lr_bdc type ref to if_crm_ui_data_context.
lr_bdc = cl_crm_ui_data_context_srv=>get_instance( me ).
check lr_bdc is bound.
Using SET_DATA_ATTRIBUTE set the attribute value and using GET_DATA_ATTRIBUTE get the attribute valueu2026get_attribute, set_attribute
read current BuAg if exist
lr_buag ?= lr_bdc->GET_DATA_ATTRIBUTE( 'CURRENTBUAG' ).
Here "CURRENTBUAG" is the attribute name, you can give any attribute name while setting and get the same attribute value via get_data_attribute.
Cheers,
Sumit Mittal

Can not use Global Variable in Event Structure

I am using LabVIEW 2009.
In my LabView project I have a Boolean Global variable called EStop. I can read and write the Global variable. If I double click on the Global variable, it takes me to EStop.vi which includes a Text Button. EStop.vi is part of my Project.
In one of my VIs, I have an Event Structure. If I go to one of the Event Handlers in that Event Structure and right click and then select Add Event Case, I get a list of possible events. But that list does not include EStop or an EStop events.
I want to Add an Event Case for EStop: Value Changed.
Why can't I Add events to an Event Case that include events on Global Variables like value changed?
How do I add EStop: value changed event to my Event Structure.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

dbaechtel wrote:
I have many events throughout the system that might need to cause the system to do an Emergency Stop action. So I want ro use a Global variable that is accessible from anywhere in the system. Any action or condition that occurs anywhere in the system can activate the emergency Stop condition by setting the boolean EStop Global variable to True. When the Global bolean variable goes true(value changed), I want to detect that event in an Event Structure and do the actions necessary to accomplish a system Emergency Stop.
Sorry, I am not familiar with your terminologies. What is your definition of a "system".
One big VI with many parallel loops?
Several VIs running in parallel?

What are the best practices to use GLOBAL Variables

Hi,
Please guide how Global Variables can be declared and how they can be initialized.
Further please guide what are the impacts of Global Variables(if any) on the memory of CLIENT or SERVER, if they are not initialized or freed up after usage.
Thanks.
Regards.

spilgrim wrote:
My preference is not to use them and to use parameters or package variables. There is not real control on globals so you can end up with an applicatios that has lots of them that are only used once but persist for the user session.I second that. I don't know how often I searched for bugs caused by typos in the names of global variables. Plus the fact that they are only of datatype VARCHAR2. If you are using share_library_data you could also use Package globals in a forms library to share data between called and calling forms. Or you could use a database package...

XI 3.0: Using global variables in mapping

Hi everybody
Since it seems that during mapping you have only access to messages fields, does anybody has got idea or a workaround to use global/external variables or constants during mapping??
Example: i would like to store the mail address where i send my error mails outside each mapping program (something like using a properties file or something like that).
Any idea???

Hi Rizwan,
Thanks for prompt reply.
Can you explain in more detail with example.
Though I'm calling report from menu item and I have created report file with three parameters.
In menu item I have created a parameter list with same three parameters but whenever I tried to run then it gives Invalid ID error for all three parameters.
