VARIABLE EXITS

Hi floks;
I need some information on why and how to create variable exits in BEx? can you please give me and business scenarios why to create variable exits and virtual KF exits? any documents would be highle appreciated also. [email protected]
Regards:
Gandaki

Hi,
Customer or Variable exit is done in CMOD transaction. There are 2 kinds of Exit project available for BEX one at the Data target level EXIT_SAPMRSRU_001 and one at the query level EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001.
Please see document below,

Hope this helps

How to debug variable exit in Bi 7.0

Hi Experts,
I have code in variable exit in Bi 7.0, I am trying to debug in RSRT but im not able see my source code, Can you any body suggest me any thing or can suggest me steps to debug variable exit in bi 7.0.
Thanks
Vinod Kumar

Hi Vinod,
1) add following code into your exit-routine, at ??? fill your user-name:
Routine will STOP here,
than in new session call transaction SM50
find your query-request and mark the line
now go to menue line to -program/session and -debugging
DATA: help.
WHILE help IS INITIAL
AND sy-uname = '???'.
ENDWHILE.
2) after activation of exit-rountine start your query
3) open new session and call transaction SM50
4) check the list and look for your query-request and mark the line
5) now go to menue line to -program/session and -debugging
6) the run will stop at your while-statement
7) now you must change the contents of the variable help to '1' to leave the while-loop
8) with F5-Key you can proceed your coding
Regards

like wise data is stored in infocube , i am going to create a query based on the infocube . In query i define a variable for period and year respectively .if i give the input of period as 02 and year 2008 for the opening stock should get displayed as
abc                   2008                  01                4545         878

if i give input of period as 10 and year as 2008 i should get the values as
abc                   2008                  03                5255         900

and also pls let me know how and where to write the variable exit
PS: This is Go Live Critical
Thanks and regards,

Hi Frank.
Im sure its possible to find the date last year, but it will involve some programming and thinking about time/dates etc, unless you can do a lookup in the factorycalendar or "normal" calendar, stored in the system AND having the number of day info.
But you want to do this on the fly, in the report? I think performance might take a hit...

Calculating difference between two dates in Variable Exits

Hi,
      I need to calculate the difference between the two dates in months in Variable exits. I want the result in months so that I need to find out the Average Usage.
        How can I find the difference between them in months.
Thanks
Dave.

Hi Christophe, Senthil
                                   Sorry for late response, I checked this MONTHS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES_NEW in SE37/SE38 and about the date they are going to enter at query run time it should be like 03/03/2006 to 08/03/2006 and I should get in 5 months and or if the date range 03/15/2006 to 08/03/2006 and I should get like 4.5 months. Please could you tell me how to get the values in months or please give me a functional module so that I can use.
Thanks
Dave.

How do I...Mimic Replacement Path with Query using Customer Variable Exits?

Hello SDN:
We are on BW 3.5 SP16.
We are currently using a replacement path Query(RP) with variables
to populate a variable in another Query(T).
The problem we are having is with performance.
The entry of variables in replacement path Query(RP) is optional (This is necessary there cannot be required values)
When results from Replacement Path Query are small performance is fine. (e.g. 10 seconds)
When results from Replacement path query are large performance suffers. (e.g. 1+ minutes)
Users are free to leave the replacement path variables empty resulting in a large set of data to be replaced. This is the worst performance case.
We would like to discover a way to conditionally execute the replacement path query. That is if users do not enter values for the replacement Query(RP) variables do not execute the replacement path query(RP).
Does anyone know if this is possible within reason and in customer exit space?
We have reviewed the situation from all angles and the requirement for the replacement path FUNCTIONALITY and the freedom for the user to leave variable values blank remains.
I've been searching and reading SDN and SAP notes for about a week and do not find threads which address this situation.
We are also exploring Customer variable exits to mimic replacement path functionality
(different topic subject="How do I...Mimic Replacement Path with Query using Customer Variable Exits?")
Any help will be appreciated
Many thanks
David Schuh

My appologies-I posted this message with the wrong subject. I will repost it with appropriate subject.

Custome variable exit for fiscal year/period

Hello BW Gurus,
Q1[1,2,3] Q2[4,5,6] Q3[7,8,9] Q4[10,11,12] quarterly periods
I have a custom variable exit as shown for fiscal year period
       IF LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW+4(3) =< '003'.
          L_S_RANGE-LOW+4(3) = '001'.
       ELSEIF LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW+4(3) > '003' AND
                                          LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW+4(3) =<'006'.
          L_S_RANGE-LOW+4(3) = '004'.
       ELSEIF LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW+4(3) > '006' AND
                                            LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW+4(3) =< '009'.
          L_S_RANGE-LOW+4(3) = '007'.
       ELSE.
          L_S_RANGE-LOW+4(3) = '010'.
       ENDIF.
Now this works fine to give me the Current Quarter ....say if user puts 005/2007 i get the data Current quarter as [4+ 5] i.e. April and MAy data. Now for <b>Previous Period</b> I gave an offset as -3 to -1 inorder to get data for Q1[123] but the requirement is changed and I want the same time period i.e. [1+2] and not the entire quarter since the Current Quarter calculates only for 4 and 5.
I hope u are getting my point....please give your suggestions will reciprocate with lots of points

Hi gaurav,
Basically If I am selecting period 005 I am getting the data for 4 and 5 as Current Quarter i.e. April is the starting period of that Q2.
Similarly the previous Quarter should also give me data for period 1 and period 2.
Right now the offset I gave is -3 to -1 on my custom variable so i am getting data for the entire previous quarter which is Q1[1,2,3] but in reality i just want data for period 1and period 2.
Can you please help me in this
Appreciate your concern
Thanks

The window to select dimensions simply does not appear and I can't move forward, due to variables exit in the report

Dear experts,
I am having an issue when I try to create a WEBI document using Bex query through OLAP connection (Bics).
Due to variables exit, it is not possible to open query pannel in webi to choose wich dimensions to add to the webi document.
The window to select dimensions simply does not appear and I can't move forward!
In RSRT ou Bex Analyzer, the query is running fine without errors.
CMOD code is like this (I believe there is not any error as it is working flawless on other reports for other variable names):
WHEN 'ZREDT1'.
     IF i_step = 2.
       CLEAR wa2.
       READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO wa2 WITH KEY vnam = 'ZRE_DT_IN'.
*      wa2-low = |{ v_year_h }12|.
       IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
         v_year_h = wa2-low(4) - 1.
         CONCATENATE v_year_h '12' INTO wa1-low.
*        wa1-low = wa2-low.
         wa1-opt = 'EQ'.
         wa1-sign = 'I'.
         APPEND wa1 TO e_t_range.
       ENDIF.
     ENDIF.
    WHEN 'ZREDT2'.
     IF i_step = 2.
       CLEAR wa2.
       READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO wa2 WITH KEY vnam = 'ZRE_DT_IN'.
       IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
*        wa2-low = |{ v_year_h }12|.
         v_year_h = wa2-low(4) - 1.
         CONCATENATE v_year_h '12' INTO wa1-low.
         wa1-opt = 'EQ'.
         wa1-sign = 'I'.
         APPEND wa1 TO e_t_range.
       ENDIF.
     ENDIF.
Please provide assistance,
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
André Oliveira

I solved it.
The problem was due to date coming to exit - as you know some time intervals start at 01-01-1000, and as I was calculating 1000-1 = 999
I was getting and interval from 99901 to 201405. Do not know if it was not working because CHAR NUMC6 was failing trying to recognize interval 99901 - 201405, but probably, this was the issue.
Thanks for your inputs,
Best regards,
André Oliveira

BPS variables exit F4 help

Hi,
I am having a BPS variable exit which is listing all the records from the master data table in the F4 help screen but i want to see only those values which are populated by my exit .
Did any one faced the same problum? Do we have a note or patch to fix this.
Thanks,
Ramkumar

Hi Ramkumar,
Check the ABAP code behind the variable.Make sure that it is fetching the right records based on the logc in the code.Check the select statement in the ABAP.
Debug the code and find out if its fetchin the right values into the export parameter ETO_CHARSEL.
hope this helps.

BPS Hierarchy - variable exit

Requirement is to restrict the countries based on the selected Geography, I have created a hierarchy on country and trying to write a hierarchy user exit on country variable . UPF_VARIABLE_USER_EXIT_HIER is the one I am using, Can somebody explain how this works or any better I approach to resolve this issue.
Thanks

I am using a variable exit on Geography, to populate based on the entires from previous tab. My initial approach was to create a variable exit on country and then call API_SEMBPS_GETDATA to read the geography from the header and then call API_SEMBPS_HIERARCHY_GET for getting countries to populate. This sounds good but when I tried, API_SEMBPS_GETDATA is kicking me out running into infinite loop. Not sure but I think the reason could be, on the first run the value for country is initial. After failing this approach, I was looking into other alternatives.
Can you please send me that how to document if possible.
Your guidance much appreciated

Debugging the variable Exit - EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001

Hi Guys
Not sure how to debug the variable exit with setting break point.
I need to check if my variable it correctly populated after written code in ZXRSRU01 .
Any help will be awarded.
Thanks in advance
Kirk

Hi Kirk,
after When'Data Source'.
Write : <b>BREAK-POINT</b>
Save and activate the code and execute the report. Provide required input and execute. It will go into debugging more.
Dont forget to remove the "break-point" before transporting to Quality/Production.
Hope it helps.

Please help me to correct the Variable exit

Hello,
I am trying to calculate the previous month from the user input 0CALMONTH variable 0I_CALMO. I have created another variable ZVPCALMON and have restricted a key figure Amount with this variable.
I have written the below code. When I debug the query I am able to get below in E_T_DATA
Sign -> I
OPT ->      EQ
LOW -> 200508
when I enter the variable 09/2005 but I dont get the data in the report. However when I run the report without restricting the keyfigure with ZVPCALMON and input the calmonth as 08/2005 I am able to get the data.
IF i_step = 2.
CASE i_vnam.
WHEN 'ZVPCALMON'.
        CLEAR : l_s_range,
                l_month_low,
                l_year,
                w_var_range.
      LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO w_var_range WHERE vnam = '0i_CALMO' .
        l_year = w_var_range-LOW(4).
        l_month_low = w_var_range-low+4(2) - 1.
        IF l_month_low = 0.
          l_month_low = c_12.
          l_year = l_year - 1.
          CONCATENATE l_year
                      l_month_low INTO l_s_range-low.
        ELSE.
          CONCATENATE l_year
                     l_month_low INTO l_s_range-low.
        ENDIF.
        l_s_range-sign = c_sign_i.
        l_s_range-opt = c_range_opt_eq.
        APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
      ENDLOOP.
    WHEN OTHERS.
ENDCASE.
ENDIF.
I think I am missing something. Could anyone suggest what could have been wrong.
Thanks,
KK

Hi KJ,
Thanks for the reply. I don't know why but a simple offset doesnt work either. I have restricted the key figure with 0CALMONTH Variable and put the offset '-1' but still I dont get the result. Thats the reason I have gone for the variable exit.
thanks,
Kalyan

Variable Exit Code i_step = 2

Hi There
I have an issue with the code of type i_step = 2. What i want to do is to check a table and if a certain value is in that table i want to include a restriction for all values for the caracteristic on which the variable is based.
My code looks like this:
IF zuser_auth-comp_code = '*'.
          ls_range-low = '*'.
          ls_range-sign = 'I'.
          ls_range-opt = 'CP'.
          APPEND ls_range to e_t_range.
          EXIT.
ENDIF.
THE CP = * restriction is used without problems for i_step = 0 variables but it does not work for i_step = 2. Does anybody know why or know another way to restrict to all values in a i_step = 2 variable exit??
I hope that you can help me.
/Chris

Hi again
You are right the I_step = 2 is executed after execution of the query. When i debug the exit my exit variable code is executed but the result is that the program ends with an illegal state.Below i have inserted the complete code.
WHEN 'ZCECCST2'. "Authorization check for Company Code
    IF i_step = '2'.
      READ TABLE i_t_var_range into loc_var_range with key IOBJNM = '0COMP_CODE'.
      if sy-subrc <> '0'.
      SELECT * FROM ZUSER_AUTH WHERE
          username = l_uname.
      IF zuser_auth-comp_code = '*'.
          SELECT comp_code from /bi0/mcomp_code into ls_range-low.
          ls_range-low = '*'.
          ls_range-sign = 'I'.
          ls_range-opt = 'CP'.
          APPEND ls_range to e_t_range.
          ENDSELECT.
          EXIT.
      ELSE.
          ls_range-low = zuser_auth-comp_code.
          ls_range-sign = 'I'.
          ls_range-opt = 'EQ'.
          if ls_range-low <> ''.
            APPEND ls_range to e_t_range.
          endif.
      ENDIF.
      ENDSELECT.
      ELSE.
          ls_range-low = loc_var_range-low.
          ls_range-sign = 'I'.
          ls_range-opt = 'EQ'.
          APPEND ls_range to e_t_range.
      ENDIF.
endif.
