Variable with multiple values.

Hi All,
Can anyone help me  to create a  variable with multiple values like it should accept two Buisness Area AU10,PH10 in Query.As well as how to use this variable in fox using VARV, VARI,and VARC.
Thanx&Rgds,
Indu

Hi,
  You can write an exit for variable to retrieve two values.
Usage of this variable in FOX..
TOTALCOUNT= VARC(variable).
COUNT = 1.
DO .
IF COUNT < TOTALCOUNT.
varval = VARI( variable, COUNT ).
COUNT = COUNT + 1.
ENDIF.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Bindu

  • Report script - using substitution variable with multiple values

    Hi All,
    Substitution variable with multiple values is not working correctly with Report scripts. Can you please let me know what is the syntax to assign multiple values to a sub variable using maxl:
    alter database samp.samp set variable 'ExtractQuarter' 'Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4';
    alter database Samp.Samp set variable 'ExtractQuarter' 'Q1:Q4';
    I tried both of the above but they are errored out with the below error:
    Error: 1001005 - Unknown Member [Q1:Q4] in Report.
    my requirement is different for both Actual and forecast data extract so i would like to make use of this variable to extract whole year data for Forecast and current quarter data for Actual with out duplicating the report scripts for both processes.
    Thanks,

  • A variable with multiple values. Is it possible?

    Normally, when we need a variable with multiple values we just write them while creating the variable or, if they depend on some other variable selected by the user a variable of type exit is used.
    However, this time we would like my user to select <b>a few</b> variable values <b>at a time</b>, i.e years 2005,2006 and 2007. He can change his mind and then select 2007 and 2008. I don't want the user to be forced to select ONLY ONE value. They need to select several values at the same time.
    Ideally, I don't want to use a range with values from 2 variables to do that.
    Thanks,

    Hello Alberto,
    When restricting variables to multiple values you need to use a range. The variable restriction in BPS supports two operators EQ - equals and BT - between.
    In your example below however you could use a user exit to support this. The years you have typed in below are sequential and therefore would fit into a range.

  • Web Forms using substitution variables with multiple values

    Hi,
    I am trying to select a substitution variable in a webform (Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3) with multiple values in EAS, but is not working does somebody knows if this an expected behaviour.
    I allready try ex.
    &Months = "Jan","Feb", "Mar"
    &Months = Jan, Feb, Mar
    &Months = Jan:Mar
    Please let me know something, since as far as I recall in previous versions of Hyperion Planning this was possible.
    Kind Regards

    We experienced the same issue, our requirement was that for the first half of the year the substitution variable was = Oct and for the second part of the year Jan:Dec. We were lucky that for the second scenario we had a Total Year member as well (that at the bottom level is Jan:Dec). So on web form we picked Level0 descendants of the substitution variable. That worked fine but not the range.

  • User defined Variable with multiple value

    Hi Experts,
    customer requirement is the following:
    Build a layout in which to have in Lead Column the cost center characteristics, but not all cost center in master data but only those chosen by user with manual input. To achieve this goal i have created a variable of type characteristics (associatd to cost center CH) with replacement type "user defined values", then i have put this var in planning level. I have created a layout with Cost Center in Lead Column and set "all possible ch combination" in additional setting.
    Thanks to the varable created, the user can enter Cost Center value, but the problem is that he cannot select more than one single cost center value, for example:
    User want to see in layout CosCen1 and CosCen4, by now he can set variable in order to see the entire range from CosCen1 to CosCen4 (included all intermediate Cost Center) or to see only one between those 2 Cost Center, but it's not possible (or better i don't know how to..) to select both cost center and display the layout with ONLY those 2 Cost Center in Lead Column (CosCen1 and CosCen4).
    In other word, is it possible to set a variable with more than one single value without using range from-to?
    If not, does exist an alternative?
    Thanks in advance.
    Fabio

    Hi Fabio,
    It works as follows.
    let's say you have 3 multiple single lines for your cost center variable.
    once you are in the folder, select any single value & the layout is ready for planning with the corresponding cost center.
    now, select the "Cost center variable row" in the header of the folder within section "Name of Variable" & click on "Trash Can" icon to "Delete Selection" of variable.
    this basically deletes all the entered selections (3 entries) & displays for all.
    It works this way, because we don't have "resriction of values required by user".
    if am not wrong & correct me if am wrong,
    overall, this is nothing but equal to "planning level not restricted with any variable".
    I just tested this & the flaw in this is that, it is not only displaying for all the initially entered 3 lines but it displays for each & every cost center irrespective of the variable selections.
    hope it is clear.

  • Using substitution variable with multiple values in Maxl Command

    Hi All,
    Is there any option to use multiple values in 1 substitution variable and use them in a Maxl command.
    alter database $app_name.$db_name clear data in region '{CrossJoin(CrossJoin(CrossJoin({StrTOMbr(&Months)},{XXX, YYY}),{StrTOMbr(&CURYR)}), {ZZZ})}'physical;
    In the above case
    Maxl is not working if I have multiple months in &Months Substitution variable.
    Let me know if there is an alternate option to implement this.
    Thanks

    What is the value of &Months?
    If you put that exact value into the code, does it work?

  • Exit variable with multiple values or with ranges

    Dear Experts,
    I have a date exit variable used in a planning level. If the variable has a single value, I am able to execute the planning function. But if the exit is populated with a range or multiple single values, I am unable to execute the planning function. I get this message 'Variable "ZXPRDATE" is not restricted to a single value'.
    I should be able to read all records from the cube in date range of one week for repost. Please advice if this is possible.
    Thanks,
    Gnana

    Hi Mayank,
    Yes, I am using the same variable for repost function also.
    Let me explain in detial.
    Req: I have a planning level with product, effective date and count(keyfigure). I want all products that has a count keyfigure value for the last one week.
    If my effective date is a single value, I get all the list of products on that particular day. But, if my effective date has multiple dates or a date range, nothing is read from the data base.
    Please advice.

  • Reposting error from 1 variable to another with multiple values

    Hi,
    we are on SEM 3.1B. I've 2 userExit variables (characteristic) VAR1 & VAR2 defined at plannin area.
    i am getting the following error, when am trying to use repost function from 1st variable values to 2nd variable values.
    "variable VAR2 is not suitable for setting field values".
    VAR1 & VAR2 both returns miltiple values but equal number of values always.
    let'z say,
    VAR1 returns values A1 B1.
    VAR2 returns values AA BB.
    Now, i need to use a repost function that reposts A1 to AA & B1 to BB.
    Is it possible? if not, can we even use functions like copy or formula on variables with multiple 'FROM' values to multiple 'TO' values?
    Appreciate your help / suggestions.

    Hi Marc,
    Thanks for ur reply. But, I am getting the following errors when checking the formula function.
    "Formula Error: Formula element VARC could not be recognized."
    similarly, "Formula Error: Formula element VARI could not be recognized."
    We are on BW 3.0B (SP: SAPKW30B17) and SEM 3.1B (SP: SAPKGS3B14). Are those fomrula elements exist in these versions? On what version have u tried?
    I even couldn't able to find any documentation on those formula elements VARC & VARI. Could you please let me know if there is any documentation?
    I'm trying to copy a KeyFigure value from one material to another mateiral. Both materials are calculated from variables of type user exit (with multiple values in each variable).
    PS: both variables have equal number of materials and should be copied one - one.
    Appreciate ur help.

  • How can I get the variable with the value from Thread Run method?

    We want to access a variable from the run method of a Thread externally in a class or in a method. Even though I make the variable as public /public static, I could get the value till the end of the run method only. After that scope of the variable gets lost resulting to null value in the called method/class..
    How can I get the variable with the value?
    This is sample code:
    public class SampleSynchronisation
         public static void main(String df[])
    sampleThread sathr= new sampleThread();
    sathr.start();
    System.out.println("This is the value from the run method "+sathr.x);
    // I should get Inside the run method::: But I get only Inside
    class sampleThread extends Thread
         public String x="Inside";
         public void run()
              x+="the run method";
    NB: if i write the variable in to a file I am able to read it from external method. This I dont want to do

    We want to access a variable from the run method of a
    Thread externally in a class or in a method. I presume you mean a member variable of the thread class and not a local variable inside the run() method.
    Even
    though I make the variable as public /public static, I
    could get the value till the end of the run method
    only. After that scope of the variable gets lost
    resulting to null value in the called method/class..
    I find it easier to implement the Runnable interface rather than extending a thread. This allows your class to extend another class (ie if you extend thread you can't extend something else, but if you implement Runnable you have the ability to inherit from something). Here's how I would write it:
    public class SampleSynchronisation
      public static void main(String[] args)
        SampleSynchronisation app = new SampleSynchronisation();
      public SampleSynchronisation()
        MyRunnable runner = new MyRunnable();
        new Thread(runner).start();
        // yield this thread so other thread gets a chance to start
        Thread.yield();
        System.out.println("runner's X = " + runner.getX());
      class MyRunnable implements Runnable
        String X = null;
        // this method called from the controlling thread
        public synchronized String getX()
          return X;
        public void run()
          System.out.println("Inside MyRunnable");
          X = "MyRunnable's data";
      } // end class MyRunnable
    } // end class SampleSynchronisation>
    public class SampleSynchronisation
    public static void main(String df[])
    sampleThread sathr= new sampleThread();
    sathr.start();
    System.out.println("This is the value from the run
    method "+sathr.x);
    // I should get Inside the run method::: But I get
    only Inside
    class sampleThread extends Thread
    public String x="Inside";
    public void run()
    x+="the run method";

    Your main thread continues to run after the sathr thread is completed, consequently the output is done before the sathr thread has modified the string. You need to make the main thread pause, this will allow sathr time to run to the point where it will modify the string and then you can print it out. Another way would be to lock the object using a synchronized block to stop the main thread accessing the string until the sathr has finished with it.

  • Can you add People Picker with multiple values to Word Document using Quick Parts?

    Hi all, I've been trying to develop a form in Word that takes a bunch of metadata from the SharePoint library. Most of it works okay, but when I try to add any fields that have been set up to take multiple entries in a people picker, they don't show up
    in the add quick parts list. Any ideas, or is this a limitation?

    Hi NREL,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the people picker column with multiple values was missing in Word Quick Parts.
    This is by design that we are unable to use the fields which is allowed multiple selections.
    As a workaround, you can use a text field(Single line of text) to store the multiple values of the people column. When you create a document, start a workflow to update the text field using the values of the people column, then use the
     text field in Word Quick Parts.
    You can do as the followings:
    Open your library, and create a new column using Single line of text.
    Open your site with SharePoint 2010 Designer, create a workflow based on your library.
    Add the action “Set Field in CurrenItem”, and set it like the screenshot.
    Set the Start Options is “Start workflow automatically when an item is created”.

  • How can I compare single value with multiple value...

    Hello,
    I want to compare one value with multiple values, how can it possible ?
    Here in attachment I tried to design same logic but I got problem that when I entered value in y that is compared with only minimum value of x, I don't want that I want to compare y value with all the x value and then if y is less then x while loop should be stop.
    I want to do so because in my program some time I didn't get result what I want, for example x values is 4,5,6,7,8  and y value is  suppose 6 then while loop should be stop but here it consider only minimum number and its 4 here so while loop is not stop even y is less then 7 and 8. So I want to compare y value with all the entered values of x and if y is less then any of x values then while loop should be stop and led should be ON.
    Please guide me how can I do so.....
    Solved!

  • OLAP on 11g and Materialised Views with Multiple Value-Based Hierarchies

    Hello OLAPians
    I am trying to setup Orable BIEE to report on an OLAP cube with pre-aggregated data. As OBIEE is not able to hook into the OLAP directly i have to create an SQL cubeview.
    Currently i am on a 10g OLAP environment and am using the oracle sample SQL cubeview generator to create an SQLview of my cube.
    The cube itself has multiple dimensions and these dimensions have multiple VALUE-based (ragged) hierarchies and dimension members can be shared across hierarchies also.
    Initially i had a problem running the view generator plugin because there is a bug within it that does not finish if there are multiple value-based hierarchies present. I was able to get around this by manually editing the limitmap for the cubeview and manually creating the SQL view.
    The question that i want to ask is how robust is the 11g materialised views with multiple value-based hierarchies and the sharing of dimension members across different hierarchies?
    Has anyone successfully been able to create a cubeview and import it into OBIEE without the hassle of manually editing the limitmap?
    A problem arises with the value-based setup whereby if the client creates a newer depth in the ragged hierarchy, i need to manually create the limitmap and the cube-view over again, and then re-map the BI Administration mappings.

    The simple answer to your question,
    how robust is the 11g materialised views with multiple value-based hierarchies...?is that materialized views are not supported on top of value-based hierarchies in 11g. The reason is that it is not possible to write a reasonable SQL statement that aggregates a fact over a value-based hierarchy. Such a SQL statement is necessary if we want to create a rewritable MV on top of the cube.
    But I suspect this is not what you are really asking. If you are trying to set up OBIEE on top of the cube in 10g using the view generator, then you will probably want to use the "ET VIEWS" that are generated automatically in 11g. These are generated whether or not you enable materialized views on top of your cube. I am not aware of any issues with the generated value-based hierarchy view support in 11g. Members may be shared between value hierarchies and you will not need to generate or modify limit maps.

Maybe you are looking for
