Variable Doubt

Hi...
I have Two Variables in my query
0I_CMNTH - Cal Month/Year (Interval, Mandatory) for KEYFIG1
0PCALMON - Cal Year/Month (Single Value, Mandatory)for KEYFIG2
Then TO value from the first variable, should be automatically filled in 2nd Variable.
Is there a way? Can this be done by replacement path or Customer Exit variables?
Thanks,
Sai.

Hi Gova,
Thanks for ur quick reply.
Beken - I do not need the second variable to be ready for input.
I created a Customer Exit Variable which is not ready for input.
I went into the program ZXRSRU01. The source code looks like this.
DATA: t_data TYPE zprof_account OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: e_range TYPE rrrangesid.
DATA: e_old   TYPE rrrangeexit.

Static method and variables doubts

i have a doubt
i have the following method
private static void checkActionType(String action) {
if (action.startsWith(" a")) {
++totalAddedActions;
} else if (action.startsWith(" c")) {
++totalChangedFolders;
} else if (action.startsWith(" p")) {
++totalPersonalizedActions;
} else if (action.startsWith(" r")) {
++totalRemovedActions;
} else if (action.startsWith(" v")) {
++totalViewedActions;
} else if (action.startsWith(" u")) {
++totalUpdateActions;
to use it, i need to declare my int variables static, because im calling this method from another static method that is called by main method.
but this can cause me problems ?
if i have two instances of this class running, my statics int will show the right value?
there is a better approach?

Here is my class, i want some advices to know if i am doing right, because everything is a little new for me.
My class, read a log file and based upon a regular expression, it can retrieve a general statistic or a personal statistic.

Static variable doubt !!!

why the following code throws an error (Illegal start of expression )
public class samp
     public static void main(String [] a)
static int i=10; // error is occuring at this line ....
     System.out.println(i);
}

In C you can have a static variable declared inside a function.
It is static, that is, retains the value between the calls, and it is declared in the function, hence it is seen only from there. In the following example both function have their own static i variables.
#include <stdio.h>
static int i=0;
int foo() {
static int i=100;
     return i++;
int bar() {
static int i=200;
     return i++;
int main() {
int x;
for(x=4;x<8;x++) printf("%d %d\n",x,foo());
for(x=4;x<8;x++) printf("%d %d\n",x,bar());
printf("%d\n",i);
}

Local variable doubt

Hello every1,

}can i pass a local variable xyz as an paramter to other function in the same class ???
Thanks

It's a myth that exactly Java newbies would benefit from starting out with a rudimentary text editor typing shell commands. Nobody in their right mind would suggest that to a .NET newbie. Is Visual Studio really so much better than Eclipse or Netbeans?
Using a good IDE will allow newbies to concentrate on the fun part of Java namely the actual programming right from the start.
There are two extremely persistent myths plaguing Java. One is that Java is slow. The other is that Java must be taught using ancient development tools.Its not a myth, its more personal preference. I think it is good to at least start out using a text editor and command line so you are forced to spot your own mistakes and debug your code with your own eyes instead of having an IDE highlight your errors for you. This is just to start out, I think it help build your debugging ability. Now whether it take you 1 week or 1 year to move into using and IDE is up to you, but its good to at least get the experience of coding without one for a bit at the beginning and just focus on learning the language.
Just my opinion and again it really is personal preference. We could go on and on about it I'm sure. Probably a topic for its own thread.
Back on topic, I do see the code and illustration on page 259. flounder covered the explanation well though. Just to reiterate, when calling the go method:
public void doStuff()
boolean b = true;
go(4);
public void go(int x)
}when go() is being called, only the value 4 is being passed, the variables remain inside the doStuff() method. the value is copied, if you will, to the variable "x" which is a local variable inside the go() method. once the go() method has been called, the variables inside of the doStuff() method are out of scope because that method is not currently on the top of the stack and is not currently running, but the value of one of the local variables was copied to the local variable "x" in the go() method as that method was put on the top of the stack. so now the variable x is in scope with the copy of the value from the doStuff() method

Customizing the Autoconfig

I have been going through the Metalink Document: Customizing an AutoConfig Environment Doc ID: 270519.1
In which cases, we need to customize the template file?
(a) Changing the value of an existing context variable
Doubt: We can edit this variable value in Context File. Whey we need to edit the template file????
(b) Adding a new context variable to the context file
Doubt: Can't we add directly to conext file using OAM????? If it is possible, why we beed custom template file???
(c) Customizing an AutoConfig template file delivered by Oracle
Doubt: Can you elaborate this with simple example??
(d) Creating a customer owned AutoConfig template file
Doubt: When can we do this? can you give me small example? cause, we never edited any template file and we did not get chance to do this
thanks in advance, if i get any help from you guys resolving these doubts......

Here is some info from my perspective
(a) Changing the value of an existing context variable
Doubt: We can edit this variable value in Context File. Whey we need to edit the template file????The supported way to change values of existing (Oracle-supplied) context file variables is thru OAM. You will need to edit some variables based on your installation and setup. This is not customization as per Oracle's definition.
(b) Adding a new context variable to the context file
Doubt: Can't we add directly to conext file using OAM????? If it is possible, why we beed custom template file???This certainly is a customization, and the supported way to add custom variables is as defined in the doc you mention. If you add these custom variables directly to the context file, then the next autoconfig patch will overwrite this file and you will lose your custom variables and setup.
(c) Customizing an AutoConfig template file delivered by Oracle
Doubt: Can you elaborate this with simple example??Adding custom variables as you have noted in (b) is a good example.
(d) Creating a customer owned AutoConfig template file
Doubt: When can we do this? can you give me small example? cause, we never edited any template file and we did not get chance to do thisThis is typically used for advanced installations where it may require specialized custom files for the various technology stacks. Almost all regular Apps customers will not have to create a completely custom autoconfig template file.

Doubt about a null value assigned to a String variable

Hi,
I have a doubt about a behavior when assigning a null value to a string variable and then seeing the output, the code is the next one:
public static void main(String[] args) {
        String total = null;
        System.out.println(total);
        total = total+"one";
        System.out.println(total);
}the doubt comes when i see the output, the output i get is this:
null
nulloneA variable with null value means it does not contains a reference to an object in memory, so the question is why the null is printed when i concatenate the total variable which has a null value with the string "one".
Is the null value converted to string ??
Please clarify
Regards and thanks!
Carlos

null is a keyword to inform compiler that the reference contain nothingNo. 'null' is not a keyword, it is a literal. Beyond that the compiler doesn't care. It has a runtime value as well.
total contains null value means it does not have memory,No, it means it refers to nothing, as opposed to referring to an object.
for representation purpose it contain "null"No. println(String) has special behaviour if the argument is null. This is documented and has already been described above. Your handwaving about 'for representation purpose' is meaningless. The compiler and the JVM don't know the purpose of the code.
e.g. this keyword shows a hash value instead of memory addressNo it doesn't: it depends entirely on the actual class of the object referred to by 'this', and specifically what its toString() method does.
similarly "total" maps null as a literal.Completely meaningless. "total" doesn't 'map' anything, it is just a literal. The behaviour you describe is a property of the string concatenation operator, not of string literals.
I hope you can understand this.Nobody could understand it. It is compete nonsense. The correct answer has already been given. Please read the thread before you contribute.

Doubt in printing variables in script

Hi Experts,
I am having small doubt.
1).I need to write one condition for sales org 'US11' and divisions '20' or '40'. So the below logic is correct or not.
if vbdkr-vkorg = 'US11' and and vbdkr-vtweg = '20' or vbdkr-vtweg = '40'.
select........
endif.
2). i need th print these variables in script. can i use the logic like this.
if &vbdkr-vkorg& = 'US11' and and &vbdkr-vtweg& = '20' or &vbdkr-vtweg& = '40'.
&zkbetr1/ zpery1&
else.
&zkbetr/ zpery& (This is for sales org other than US11)
endif.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramana.

Hi,
I think your condition would be more apt if you code this way:
IF vbdkr-vkorg EQ 'US11' AND ( vbdkr-vtweg EQ '20' OR vbdkr-vtweg EQ '40' ).
ENDIF.
Also, look at putting the code into a subroutine called from your driver or subroutine program and then returning the value. The "logic" for determining the value to be printed can then be performed within the subroutine rather than the SAP script.

Doubt about scope of instance variable

Hi All,
i have a doubt about scope of instance variable.
if i declare a instance variable in servlet , i want to know whether it can be shared(means everywhere ) or not.
thanks in advance
Gopal

The servlet container will create one servlet object, and run multiple threads through its service() / doGet() / doPost() methods.
That means that any instance variables of the servlet are shared between multiple requests, and can cause problems with threads accessing the same variable..
To make your servlets thread-safe
1 - have no instance variables - only use local variables in the doGet/doPost method.
2 - use the session scope for storing variables you need over multiple calls.
Cheers,

Doubt in Variable substitution

Hi experts,
Can i use variable substitution for taking a part of the input filename.
My output filename contain only a part of the input filename.
Regards,
Divia

>>With out storing the part of the input file name in a output files structure, is it not possible to achieve?
You can use Dynamic Configuration UDF to set the file name instead of Variable substution.

Small doubt on displaying variables in sap script

HI all,
Can anyone let me know if i am in the correct way or not.
i'm modifying one existing script. to display some data in the script i am doing like this :
get the data into itab.
loop at itab into wa.
call FM write_form
element = 'TEXT'.
endloop.
in the layout i am using this elements and variables
/E TEXT
S1 <D1>&WA-FIELD1&</> <D1>&WA_FIELD2&</>
but the work in not having any data in the layout whereas before call write_form its having data.
can anyone suggest me who to deal with this.
thanks

You can check if your SAPScript is able to talk with the driver program.
In SE71
Open in Change Mode
Form > Check > Text
Select the Include Res checkbox .. Press Enter
Enter your Program in the Next popup by "Append Print Program"
Now, press Copy.
It will show you the errors.
In your proram WA must a in TOP include or Globally declared.

Doubt in Decode and Using Temporary variable

I was facing the following issue,
For example,
The column_name if A should be stored with the value B or, with itself for which I included a statement as following,
Case [1]
SELECT ....DECODE(column_name,'A','B',column_name) alias_name
     FROM table_name
          WHERE condition;
But,
when i used a temporary variable as following i could not get the expected change,
Case [2]
SELECT ...column_name
     FROM table_name
          WHERE condition;
temp VARCHAR(10);
BEGIN
IF column_name='A' THEN
     temp:='B';
ELSE
     temp:=column_name;
END IF;
END;
I was able to get the right output in Case[1],but failed to get in [2]. Please help and Thanks in advance.

Without seeing your code, whatever I can say might be just an assumption. I can give an example to show that it will work.
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
DECLARE
var      VARCHAR2(10);
col_name VARCHAR2(30);
TEMP     VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
SELECT column_name
INTO col_name
FROM user_tab_columns
WHERE table_name = 'EMP'
AND rownum       =1;
IF (col_name     ='EMPNO') THEN
    temp          := 'X';
ELSE
    temp := col_name;
END IF;
var := 'abc '||temp;
dbms_output.put_line(var);
END;
OUTPUT :

I have made all the settings in report level.
While running the report, the description is displaying as " # " instead of Fiscal year values. Can you Please help on this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Jelina.

Hello Jelina,
The value "#" appears only if there are no values corresponding to the specified variable.
Please cross check if a legitimate value is available in the host variable/infoobject which the replacement path points to.
Regards,
Bharath

Doubt in creating a variable in Crystal Report 2008 SP3

Hi,
I am new to Crystal Reports, I need to create a variable with the below logic.
No of Subscriptions Pending: COUNT(SUBSCRIPTION_ID) WHERE FCT_SUBSCRIPTION_ACTION.SUBSCRIPTION_ACTION_STATUS IN
(SELECT SUBSCRIPTION_ACTION_STATUS_CODE FROM LKM_SUBSCRIPTION_ACTION_STATUS WHERE
FINAL_STATUS_FLAG = 'T')
My data source is an universe where I have SUBSCRIPTION_ID, SUBSCRIPTION_ACTION_STATUS, SUBSCRIPTION_ACTION_STATUS_CODE & FINAL_STATUS_FLAG objects.
I have pulled all the required objects from the universe into the Crystal Query.
As we don't have the option to use Where condition in CR (As per my knowledge), I want to know how to write the above logic using "If" or some other function.
Thanks in Advance,
Mitch.

Hi Jamie,
Thanks for your reply & sorry for the late reply, I was away for Christmas.
I tried your formula but it is not working properly.
If I use "IF FINAL_STATUS_FLAG = 'T' THEN SUBSCRIPTION_ID" then it is giving all the subscriptions count instead of pending ones.
We need count the Subscription_ID's based on the Flag Status & the Action_Status & Action_Status_Code as per the formula.
No of Pending Subscriptions: COUNT(SUBSCRIPTION_ID) WHERE FCT_SUBSCRIPTION_ACTION.SUBSCRIPTION_ACTION_STATUS IN
(SELECT SUBSCRIPTION_ACTION_STATUS_CODE FROM LKM_SUBSCRIPTION_ACTION_STATUS WHERE
FINAL_STATUS_FLAG = 'T')
But your method is not taking Status Codes into consideration (correct me, if I am wrong)
While checking against the Database I found the following results
1) SELECT DISTINCT SUBSCRIPTION_ACTION_STATUS_CODE FROM LOOKUP.LKM_ORDER_ACTION_STATUS
     Result: AM, BA, CA, DC, DE, DO, FI, FU, IN, NE, NO, OH, RE, TC
2) SELECT DISTINCT SUBSCRIPTION_ACTION_STATUS FROM FACT.FCT_ORDER_ACTION
      Result: DC, TC, AM, IN, DE, NE, CO, DO, NO, BA, CA
Values in SUBSCRIPTION_ACTION_STATUS & SUBSCRIPTION_ACTION_STATUS_CODE differ. &
3) SELECT ORDER_ACTION_STATUS_CODE FROM LOOKUP.LKM_ORDER_ACTION_STATUS WHERE
FINAL_STATUS_FLAG = 'T'
      Result: CA, DC, DO
4) SELECT ORDER_ACTION_STATUS_CODE FROM LOOKUP.LKM_ORDER_ACTION_STATUS WHERE
FINAL_STATUS_FLAG = 'F'
      Result: AM, BA, DE, FI, FU, IN, NE, NO, OH, RE, TC
Any other way of doing this.
Thanks,
Mitch.

Variable new_value doubts ( Rookie Needs Help Pls)

i am using
column global_name new_value gname
after i do the usual select stuff to bring the value into gname
what i don't understand is,
1) is the gname here
same as declaring
variable game varchar2
2) if it is, why cant i print gname;

no, it is not same
it is like defining gname. So you can "prompt &gname" but not "print gname".
if you are referring to the buggy asktom script to set the sqlprompt, do not miss my note : def gname="SQL> " to attribute a value to gname, which will be overwritten is the database is open.
regards
Laurent

Once he executes the query in analyzer.
He will get variable popup right. Go to region and press F4 (Select from list option).
Hope this helps.
