Watchpoint for a variable in an undefined program

Hello,
I'd like to ask for your help. I'm debugging a program and would like to find a root cause of an issue. My main problem is that i know what variable i'd like to look for in a watchpoint, however i don't know in what sub-program or function does this variable exists. Is there a possibility to create such watchpoint or maybe breakpoint for a variable without defining the program name?
Thank you.

Hi,
how is it possible that you know the variable name but not the program in which the variable is defined?
If you really are in that kind of situation you could use debugger scripting to beark the program if a variable of a certain name exists. If you are new to debugger scriptin have a look at Stephen Pfeiffers excellent introduction blogs:

Trace For -Loop variable

I am trying to trace for-loop . The counter variable does not show the last value in the stack frame variables. For example if my code is as:
public class ForCounter
public static void main(String args[])
for (int i =0;i<=5;i++)
System.out.println(i);
}My output is as:
Event Location =ForCounter:5

java.lang.String[] args = instance of java.lang.String[0] (id=38)
Event Location =ForCounter:7
ForCounter.java:7 in method main() ****

int i = 0

*{color:#ff0000}the variable i doesnt get the value 6 as I expected in the comparison process? Any idea How can I see that?*
*As I understood , the variable i values incremented and at the last step when the comparison failed the body of the for loop doesnt execute. ( 6 is not <= 5){color}*

I am posting the code here to see what I mean. I need to compare these 2 programs that produces the same output. The stack frame trace must be the sme, but when I run the code on them. it doesn't work. I wish to know why in the for loop the value of i doesn't reach the value 4 as it showes in normal debugging. I am really thanx for your help.
The two programs that I am comparing is:
1-
public class WhileCounter
     public static void main(String args[])
          int i = 0;
         while ( i <= 3)
               System.out.println(i);
              i++;
and
2-
public class ForCounter
     public static void main(String args[])
          for (int i =0;i<=3;i++)
               System.out.println(i);

How can I do for a row of a query be data provider for a variable?

Hi friends, I have a problem !
How can I do for a row of a query be data provider for a variable?
I need that a value of variable be stored when the user select a row in a query. At the BPS we can do this configuring the variable selector in WIB, and in a WAB how I can do this ?
Best regards,
Gustavo Liberado

In this case when I press the key to call other forms I need to wait for the response in the secondary form and then process the result.That is exactly what a "modal JDialog" (or JOptionPane) are used for.
Try it. Create a short demo program. All you need is a JFrame with a single button to show the modal dialog. All you modal dialog needs is a single button to close the dialog. After you show the modal dialog add a System.out.println(...) statement in your code and you will see that it is not executed until the dialog is closed.
Then once you understand the basics you add the code to your real program.
If you need further help then you need to create a [Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)|http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html], that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour.
Don't forget to use the Code Formatting Tags so the posted code retains its original formatting. That is done by selecting the code and then clicking on the "Code" button above the question input area.

Overflow for arithmetical operation (type P) in program.

Hi experts..
I had developed a report for showing total receipt and issues and confirmed issue.
of PQ.
For all the plant is running fine but only for one plant 2050 its going into dump and error is "Overflow for arithmetical operation (type P) in program." and the code line is
T_EKET-MNG02 = T_EKET-MNG02 * ( t_mdbs-umrez / t_mdbs-umren ).
MNG02 IS OF TYPE Data : "Quan", length =13 , decimal = 3.
initially : value in Mng02 is = 10 and ratio is 11/8 = 1.375
and in the debugging the value is 10*1.375 = 13.75
but... when i am executing it .. its going into dump and after again checking the MNG02 is showing valude --9765133613.881 and the above error.
what should i do....
please help..
i will award the points for every help...
thanks

Hi,
Are you doing any other calculation for field MNG02 in your program?
I created a small program with the field and values you have mentioned and it gave me the result 13.75 and no short dump.
Please check following things:
When short dump occurs, it shows at which line it has occured. Is it showing that the shortdump has occurs on the line you are talking about here or it is somewhere else.
Also, when shortdump occurs, it shows a "debugging" button at the top. Hit that button and it will show you exactly where the short dump has occured. What ever this statement is, check what are the values of different variables here.
Check all these and you might get the answer. Let me know if you still have problem.

What is the way to use shared variables with native c programs?
I have a c/c++ program that uses the NIDAQmx C-API to perform measurements. Now I want to communicate to a LabVIEW program via shared variables.
Is there a C-API for shared variables as there is for the NIDAQmx functionality? Where can I find further documentation? The document "Using the LabVIEW Shared Variable" mentions that one "can read and write to shared variables in ANSI C", but there are no hints about how and where to look.
Thanks in Advance

Hi user42,
with CVI 8.0, you cannot create or configure shared variables. However, you can read or write to an already configured LabVIEW 8.x shared variable from CVI using the DataSocket API.
In order to do this you need to have and DataSocket 4.3 or higher installed.
Here's a forum post about using the DataSocket functions a LabVIEW Shared Variables:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=180&message.id=24569&requireLogin=False
With CVI 8.1 and Measurement Studio 8.1 it's possible to use Shared Variables via the Network Varaiable Library (check out the end of the "Network-Published Shared Variable" section within the "Using the LabVIEW Shared Variable" documentation and the following link).
Datasocket with LabWindows/CVI and LabVIEW Real-Time:

Set a value for a variable of type exit

Hello,
I am filling some variables with multiple values in user exit.
Now, i would like to place some of these characteritics in Header area. It's of course impossible because there is multiple values but ...
I will put dropdown box in the web application for these chars. The problem is that by default, any value is assigned to the dropdwom ( any variable value is set).
Do you know how i can set a value for theses variable after filling all values by the user exit. SO that only one value is selected for the header and all others values available in the dropdown ?
Regards,
Jarod

Hi,
Off late, this seems to be a usual requirement.
Just create a Z program to call the FM API_SEMBPS_VARIABLE_SET and then call the FM API_SEMBPS_POST.
you should be preparing the content/set value to pass to the FMs. check the whereused list to see how this FMs can be used/called.
finally, run this program for your variable, after the loading/filling the exit variable. Please note that to set 'exit' variables, the sourcing variable's content need to be read/set first before setting the exit varible.

Passing variable val to UPC_BUNDLE_EXECUTE_STEP program in prc chain

Hi
i have a problem regarding background sheduling of Global Planning Sequence using Process chain.This Global sequence should run for different values of a char.In my level i restricted that Char with a variable which is ready for input.In process variant i maintained the values of Char to be Executed.When i am running the Process chain it is giving the following Error message.
Characteristic XS_CRCLR must be ready for input in package XPPWLN05 .
I tried to remove the variable in level and made it as selection and tried to select a variable in Packge .It is not allowing me to select a variable.
1.Is there any way to Solve this Problem?
2.and i am thinking of passing variable value through ABAP program in process chain after every execution. will this work?
Is there any document regarding Background scheduling of global Sequence?
any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks
Suresh

How can i find name of the variable used in the program and assign to a str

double width= .333;
        int i;
        for (i = 0; i <=2; i ++){
            segment[i] = i+1;
        }is a bit of code...Is there anyway using which I can find out the variable names and assign them to string variables so that i can match them with another table ....
That is I want the "width", "segment[0]", "segment[1]" and "segment[2]"...
pls help...

I am trying to find out the variable names in the program so that they can be matched against a given table for availability. I want to do that so that i can send the name, its type and value as a data packet to another node...I am not familiar with this...pls..would you give me a sample code

What is the include for text variable?

Dear Friends
I am trying to add a customer exit for text variables.
I have done variable exits for things like fiscal period but not for customer exit TEXT variables.
I could not find any text variable code in the include ZXRSRU01 .
Please advise what should be the program name?
Is it found in a different include?
regards
Bass

Hi Bass,
Customer exit for text variables is also the same how we create customer exits for characterisitics variable. As per the clarity what i got from ur question.
I'll just explain a small program in customer exits which will act as a text variable.
Go to SE38 -->
Display the program ZXRSRU01 --> (This can be done only if you have added the enhancement of the system from CMOD)
Then add ur following case statement to the existing code.
After all the data declarations start ur main program
when 'YEAR_CUST'.
if i_step = 2.
    l_year1 = sy-datum+2(2). //Data declaration
    l_mon1 = sy-datum+4(2). // Data Declaration
   l_date1 = sy-datum+6(2). // Data Declaration
     case l_mon1. //case statement which has the technical name of ur Exit variable
     when '01'. // This statement generally checks the whether the given variable entry has a value '01' then enters the statement here and returns the value as JAN //
          CONCATENATE 'JAN' l_year1 into dat.
          l_s_range-low = dat.
          l_s_range-high = l_s_range-low.
          l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
          l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
          APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
          endcase.
         ENDIF.
Hope this helps u and have given the explanation as per the understanding of your questionand can give more clarity to you.

How to set variable default value by program?

Dear all,
We would like to set a BW variable default value by program (not using query designer).
Do you have any ABAP sample code for this? I'm really new in ABAP programming.
we are using BI 7.0
Thank you for your help!
Olivier DESFOUR

Hi Olivier,
FOllowing is the code which defaults calmonth to first month of the year to current month - 1.
Data : input1(4) TYPE n,
input3(2) TYPE n.
WHEN 'YQV_FD'.
if i_step = 1.
input1 = sy-datum+0(4).
concatenate input1 '01' into l_s_range-low.
input3 = sy-datum+4(2) - 1.
concatenate input1 input3 into l_s_range-high.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'BT'.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
endif.

Support for Shared Variables in Third Party XP embedded based TPC's?

I have deployed an application in an XP embedded based Touch Panel (Third party). The application is working fine, but the shared variables hosted on an RT (sbRIO Board) are not getting updated in the application on TPC
1. The TPC is part of the project as Windows XP Embedded Touch Panel
2. NI TPC Service has been installed on the TPC and the application can be deployed remotely from the development PC through ethernet. (Hence network connections and communications are OK)
3. By using Distributed Systems Manager in the development computer, I can see that the shared variables are getting updated on the network
I believe that the problem can be solved if the following programs are installed on the TPC
A. Support for shared variables for XPembedded
B. Shared Variable engine
I have tried installing support for shared variables from Program Files > National Instruments > Labview 8.6 > PDA > Utilities > Variables > x86 - but am getting an installation error "Unable to find application manager for Pocket PC applications".
Shared variable engine has been installed from ve220 folder. The program is getting installed. But the Variable Engine is not started Control Panel > Administrative tools > Services in Xpe, the service is stopped and cannot be started. When I try to start the service, I am getting the following error on TPC
"Could not start the National Instruments Variable Engine Service on the local computer.
Error 1053. The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."
Please suggest solutions for the above or alternate locations for the following:
1. Support for shared variables for XP embedded TPC's
2. Shared Variable engine installer program.
Thanks
Krish
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Problem solved!
Update for interested folks working on XP Embedded TPC's
Just to make sure that Shared Variables were indeed accessible to the TPC, I wanted to install Distributed Systems Manager 8.6 on the TPC. However since the TPC was having only 1 GB of DOM (Disk on Memory) and with all the software I had tried, there were only a few Megabytes left on the system. I had to add another DOM of 2 GB.
All the products of the Installation went fine, with the exception of NI Logos (Version 5.0). NI Logos installation failed repeatedly. I tried installing NI Logos separately, with the same results. Then I had this gut feeling that NI Logos had something to do with the issue.
I then downloaded the new version of NI DSM 2009 SP1. Although this was supposed to get installed on any fresh system without Labview, the installation would not proceed beyond the setup stage. I tried installing NI Logos from the products folder on the new download separately and it worked like magic!
Once the new Logos (Ver 5.5) got installed, the Shared Variable Engine started automatically and the Shared Variables were finally unleashed - free to rise and shine! Thank God Almighty!!
On the lighter side, come to think of it - for running an application of around 400KB, we need XP embedded, NI Run Time, Logos, DSM .......... (all around 900MB). Can we make it any simpler?!! Inviting your comments .......
Thanks

Is IN OUT for Cursor variable mandatory?

Hi all:
I have a stored procedure which will just return a boolean value after the task is done. And i'm using more than 1 cursor variables in that stored procedure. What my question is
"Is IN OUT for Cursor variable mandatory from the PROCEDURE i have written?".
Because in the manual they mentioned that IN OUT should be there for a cursor variable. My PROCEDURE declaration is as below:
TYPE emp_det IS REF CURSOR;
PROCEDURE <proc_name>(startdate VARCHAR2, enddate VARCHAR2, ids VARCHAR2, taskdone OUT BOOLEAN,emp IN OUT emp_det);
Is there any modification in the above declaration if i'm using one cursor and NOT returning that cursor back to the called program. I don't to get returned.
Hope i made it clear.
Thanks,
- Venu

Venu:
As far as I know you don't need In Out unless
you are using that variable to pass values between the two procedures.
It is so easy to try it , so I suggest you write two small procedures to check this.It should only take a couple of minutes.
Hope this helps.

Variable CFHTTP is undefined

Hello folks,
I have a script that uses the CFHTTP tag to send in some XML to a url, which returns a code back to my script.
01.    <cftry>
02.        <cfhttp
03.             url="http://the.url.to.post.to"
04.             port="443"
05.             method="post"
06.             resolveurl="yes"
07.             throwOnError="Yes"
08.             timeout="5"
09.             charset="utf-8">
10.             <cfhttpparam type="header" name="Accept-Encoding" value="*">
11.             <cfhttpparam type="Header" name="TE" value="deflate;q=0">
12.             <cfhttpparam type="formField" name="xmlBody" value="#toString(generateRequestXml)#">
13.      </cfhttp>
14.
15.      
16.      <cfif structkeyexists(cfhttp,'statuscode') and listfirst("#cfhttp.statuscode#",' ') eq 200>
17.           
18.           <cfset theVariable = cfhttp.returnedVariable>
19.
20.      
21.      <cfelse>
22.           
23.           <cfthrow />
24.      </cfif>
25.
26.      <cfcatch type="any">
27.           <cfset logError(cfcatch)>
28.      </cfcatch>
29. </cftry>
Most of the time, the script works fine, except now and then, it throws an error on line 16 saying that "Variable CFHTTP is undefined". It's as if the cfhttp tag has not finished processing in order to create the "CFHTTP" variable. This sounds a bit like the problem that Charlie Arehart blogged a while back about CF not waiting on some elements - or am I just presuming here?
Anyway - some help would be really useful here, as I'm really scratching my head on this one. I've even tried replicating the error with a CFHTTP url which takes a while to return a response - but no joy.
Help me Adobe Community - you're my only hope....
(heh, I just made that up!! - you can use it)
Cheers,
Phil

I don't know if the problem is caused by the CFHTTP tag not being finished yet, although that seems as possible as anything else I guess. If that's the problem, though, you could address this by creating a loop with a condition, then within the loop you could test for the existence of CFHTTP, and if it doesn't exist you could put the thread to sleep for a few milliseconds and check again after that. Once it does exist, you could exit the loop.

Variable HEADER is undefined

Hello,
Getting an error when sending a draft for review in CPS
Files involved
index.cfm calls <cfinclude template="#header#">
located in application.cfm
application.cfm calls <cfparam name="Header"
default="header.htm">
header.htm contains header info
When I click "send for review "the draft process will load
however it displays the following. Of course I could resolve the
issue by placing the header and application files in
D:\website\htdocs\MMWIP\ but I have hundreds of headers for
different subsites. Does anyone know why this is not working or how
I could resolve it. Thank you for your time.
"Variable HEADER is undefined.
The error occurred in

18 : <cfinclude template="#header#">
19 : <cfoutput>
20 : <cfset varpath=#Left(Main,Len(Main)-1)#>

It can be mostly due to any one of following reasons:-
It is missed to be defined in code.
This global variable may not be accessible.
Page defining it is missing.
Page defining it may not be accessible due to slow server performance issue.
