I tried to update UDF using a Formatted Search with following query:
SELECT $[ORDR.numatcard]
It's not updating when NUMATCARD gets changed, or when I create a new Sales order it doesn't take the respective NUMATCARD ref instead it repeats the same number that was saved in last sales order.
I also tried to choose auto refresh when field changes at "BP Reference NO" from drop down menu of the [User-Defined Values Setup:

I am new with ABAP. I asked a similar, but different, question to this one yesterday.
I duplicate a table (= table) to a local table (= localTable) and remove all duplicates in it, this works fine (first 3 code lines)
Now I want to loop over this local table and send all matching data into an structure with INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF - unfortunately I always get the following error:
Internal tables cannot be used as work areas.
INFO: I'm working inside of a method!
Here is my code where I'm working with:
DATA localTable TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF table.
SELECT columnName FROM table INTO TABLE localTable.
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM localTable COMPARING columnName.
LOOP AT localTable ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL(<fs_table>).
SELECT * FROM anotherTable as p
WHERE p~CN1 = #localVariable
AND p~CN2 = #<fs_table>-columnName
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF #exportStructure "<-- Here I always get my error
ENDSELECT.
ENDLOOP.
First: I've read that I have to sort my internal table before using command DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM localTable COMPARING columnName. so I've added following code line in between:
SORT localTable BY columnName ASCENDING.
Second: Instead of using INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE I've used APPENDING CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE because INTO overwrites every line with itself, so in total I have only one line in my exported structure.
APPENDING adds a new line every time my statements are true.
I am trying to create snapshot tables as part of script I run regularly.
At the moment I have to manually enter table names, but I would like to call on a field in the base data table to create the snapshot table name.
For example:
Base Data Table = base_data and contains a field for the month it was created in.
Snapshot table = base_data_month
I have already tried to run this to create an automatically named table...
create table base_data_snapshot_||(select month from base_data) as
select * from base_data
But this gets a syntax error. For reference there is only one month included in the base data.
Has anyone had any success with this before?
Although we cant combine a running create statement with a select but can use select. So, I guess below should work
create table
base_data_snapshot_||t.month
as
( select * from base_data) t
I have a table(ENTITY) that needs to be updated based on an ID(FUNNCODE) but the ID(FUNNCODE) is linked between two other tables(from JOINT then to POSITION)
and is independent of where the data is at(table NEORSD). The only parameter I can bind is the position name between the NEORSD table and POSITION table. When I place my LIKE statement into the where clause I get an error in return. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated!
Tables:
NEORSD: Contains the range information and 'position name(= Tag_No)'
ENTITY: Needs to update and accept the range information (Holds FUNCCODE)
JOINT: Holds FUNCCODE(named POSFUNCCODE) and corresponding POSCODE
POSITION: Contains POSCODE and 'position name(=POSID)'
UPDATE ENTITY
SET
RANGE0 = (
SELECT RANGE0
FROM NEORSD_1199
WHERE Tag_No like ('%PIT%'))
WHERE
FUNCCODE = (
SELECT POSFUNCCODE
FROM JOINT
WHERE POSCODE = (
SELECT POSCODE
FROM POSITION
WHERE POSID like ('%PIT%'))
If NEORSD_1199 has more than one row with a tag_no like '%PIT%', which NEORSD_1199.RANGE0 value should it use to update ENTITY.RANGE0?
This is the db engine's problem with your SQL.
To better understand, read the SQL backwards:
First you're getting a list of every Position Code from the POSITION table where the Position ID is like '%PIT%'. That might be one code, and it might be one hundred codes.
Then you're getting every Position Function Code from the JOINT table where the Position Code is in the list of Position Codes you just gathered. Again, could be one, could be a hundred.
Then you're getting a list of all values of RANGE0 from the NEORSD1199 table where Tag_No is like '%PIT%'. Again, this could be one value, or a list of one hundred.
Then, you're getting every row from the ENTITY table where the Function Code is in the list of Position Function Codes you gathered from the JOINT table (step 2 above), and you're updating RANGE0 in each of these rows to the value you captured in step 3.
The problem is that the 'value' returned in step 3 could be a list of values. If
NEORSD1199 has four rows where tag number is like '%PIT%'
(e.g. PIT01,PIT02,PIT03,APIT00), and each of those rows has a different
RANGE0 (e.g. 1,2,3,99), then which of those four values should the DB engine use to update RANGE0 in the rows in the ENTITY table?
Thank you to #SQLCliff for the questions that help to find the solution. I created an ID column inside my NEORSD table, created a temporary table holding the link between FUNCCODE and the ranges in NEORSD. Then I updated ENTITY using a join on. I can insert the where clause at the end of the temporary table for filtering if needed. Since it is a mass update I no longer require a where clause. My brain just likes making things more complicated than they need to be XD
with t as(
select f.funccode as funccode ,n.range0, n.range100
from func as f
join NEORSD_1199_With_Ranges_Updated as n on n.id = f.poscode or n.id =f.devcode
/* WHERE nessecrary ;P*/)
update entity
set
range0 = t.range0,
range100 = t.range100
from entity as e
join t on e.funccode = t.funccode
I currently have a select list with the values: 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5. These correspond to a column in table "DVD" called "DVDID", and these are the only values in this column in the table.
In the table "DVDCOPY" records exist containing the all DVDIDs (1,2,3,4,5) with a different DVDCOPYID.
E.g. a record from the DVDCOPY table is:
DVDCOPYID DVDID DISCCONDID
1 1 1
My question is, how can I make it so that once a DVDID is selected from the select list, the DVDCOPYID changes dynamically based on this selection? E.g. once 1 is selected in the DVDID select list, the value for DVDCOPYID also changes to 1 automatically.
My form currently looks like this, if this helps:
APEX Form
You have to use dynamic actions and PL/SQL. Create a hidden form element which allows for element changes (no session protection enabled). Create a new dynamic action in your form guiding to the select list and using the onchange event. Your dynamic action contains two steps: first set the hidden form element to the value of your select list. Second: execute a PL/SQL statement (UPDATE DVDCOPYID SET ... = :NEW_HIDDEN_ELEMENT WHERE ID = ...).
In colunm "A" I have a list that will be filled up by the user; it starts at "A5" but I don't know where it will end.
In column "B" I'd like to make cells look like dropdown menus where items in the list will be the values from column "A".
And whenever the user adds a value to column "A" this should be automatically added to the list.
Create named range (say colA) with formula:
=$A$5:INDEX($A:$A,MATCH(2,1/($A:$A<>"")))
and then use Data validation with named range colA:
In Column A, set up your starting data list as a Table (select your list and then Insert/Table).
Give your new table a nice name (select the Table then go to Table Tools/Design/Table Name).
Tables in Excel automatically expand when a new value is added to an existing Table.
Next, select this same starting data list and create a Named Range. Go to Formulas/Define Name.
Give your list a Name (for example, "List"), and in Refers To enter your Table name. (e.g. type "=Table1" if that's the name of your Table)
I am assuming that for your Column B, you want Data Validation - it puts the dropdowns in each cell as you suggest.
Select the range of cells that you are going to validate, then go to Data/Data Validation.
Under Settings, choose Allow = List.
Under Source type the name of your Named Range that you set up in Column A. (e.g. type "=List").
Add an Input and Output message to your Validation (optional but helpful).
Click OK to close.
