In a SAP database there are values formatted as PxDTyH where x is the number of days and y is the number of hours. A value like P2DT0H is 2 days + 0 hours. I can see that via SE16:
Unfortunately, this is exactly displayed like that to the user, "3" corresponds to the index in the database (not seen in the screenshot above).
I'd like to see it displayed
without the index (changing the options "show keys within drop-down lists" did not have an effect)
instead of the technical name P2DT0H I'd like to see "2 days and 0 hours" (or similar)
Is there a way to process the data before it gets displayed in the combo box? The developers can't change the format in the database because it would change the API.
FYI: I'm just a tester, I don't know how to code in ABAP, but from knowledge of other programming languages, I'd say that the data can be converted before it's displayed. I don't need a fully-fledged answer, just a pointer to a SAP hook or event which enables writing a conversion function.
Probably, conversion routines can be an option for you. What you should do is to:
Take your domain (which is used for PxDTyH values) or create new one specially for this.
Create FM with name CONVERSION_EXIT_%NAME%_OUTPUT, and put conversion logic in there. Mandatory parameters INPUT and OUTPUT should exist.
Enter the %NAME% into Convers.routine field in domain properties.
Enable Check conversion exits checkbox in user parameters.

I am trying to add a formal parameter in the FORM and PERFORM in an existing code, as I will be need it the extra parameter in a new function that I have to call. The idea is that when executing the new code it keeps showing the error: Different parameter count in FORM and PERFORM (routine: CM_SHOW_CRC, number of formal parameters: 2, number of actual parameters: 3).
The code that I have for the form part is as follows:
FORM cm_show_crc
USING
civ_matnr TYPE matnr
civ_charg TYPE charg_d
civ_werks TYPE werks_d. "The parameter that I added
And the perform code is:
PERFORM cm_show_crc
USING
pis_sdow_alv-matnr
pis_sdow_alv-charg
pis_sdow_alv-werks. "The parameter that I added
The table pis_sdow_alv is type of a structure that also includes the variable WERK(Component type WERKS_D)
Before adding the new parameter WERK the code was working fine.
May anyone know what the problem in this part of the code may be?
There was also another similar question in: Different number of parameters in FORM and PERFORM, however I am not using the syntax CHANGING in my code, as it was also not used prior.
Please do tell me if you need additional information.
Thank you all in advance!
This problem can occur when FORM and PERFORM are in different includes and you only activate one but not the other.
When you activate an include, then it is checked against the active version of all other repository objects it depends on. Not the saved version. This can lead to an annoying catch-22 situation. You can not activate A because it does not match the previous version of B, and you can not activate B because it does not match the previous version of A.
The solution to this conundrum is to activate both objects together. When you activate something in SE80 and you have multiple inactive objects, you get a window where you can select multiple objects to activate together:
In Eclipse, you get a similar list by clicking on the "activate multiple" button:
I am doing a simulation of a production line, which is built through Excel.
Now there is one, which needs free setting of worker shifts for each machine, three shifts in total.
My idea is to create three different Schedules, representing each of the three shifts, and then in the ResourcePool, use the If statement to set up the use of each shift. As shown in the picture enter image description here
But it didn't work. If it is possable, Could you please tell me if there is something wrong with the Java statement or the idea is wrong.
If possible, could you please tell me how to set multiple schedules in ResourcePool?
Additions to the question：
The model is to do the evaluation of the production system and the shift of the workers is an important evaluation parameter. What I want to do is to enter the shift of the workers directly in the Excel sheet and ResourcePool recognizes and uses the corresponding Schedule.
I tried to generate the corresponding Schedule by code, but the Schedule of Resourcepool cannot be set dynamically. So I would like to try to manually input multiple Schedules into the model and then set the corresponding Schedule in ResourcePool by If statement like the image.
Thanks in advance
The first thing you need to know is that the location where you placed the code is a static parameter, thus it is only evaluated once, when the object is created and not checked continuously.
This is indicated by the little popup when you hover over the button that change the entry field from code to value
If it was dynamic it would state Dynamic Value instead of Static Value
Secondly, inside that field you must use a ternary operator, not an if statement, so that the result of the formula is a scheduled object, else you will get a "misplaced construct(s)" error
If you changed the code to
v_Shift == "Shift1" ?
s_Shift1 : v_Shift == "Shift2" ? s_Shift2 : s_Shift3
It will work BUT:
It will only be evaluated when the object is created and not again
Rather not use == on Strings, always use .equals(), on Strings it might work, and sometimes it might not. You can do some research as to why ;-)
Solution: You will have to use a function to change the schedule of the resource pool. Call this function whenever the v_Shift variable changes
I did try using the RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS and RS_VARIANT_VALUES_TECH_DATA, it did show the values of the variant except the values of the name space, interface and interface version in which I also need to retrieve. I also searched the VARI* and TVARC tables but I didn't found it there.
I think it has something to do with the program name and screen number. Do you have any ideas or other way that I can retrieve all those values, whether using FM or select?
Thank you.
Some of the parameters in the transaction /AIF/ERR, the ones you are talking about, vary dynamically based on the value chosen in the Application screen field. They are handled by another AIF program, and they are not saved in the program variant, but in the table /AIF/T_ERR_VARS.
You may call the function module /AIF/ERR_VAR_LOAD to load the missing parameters.
Its usage is shown in the subroutine GET_VAR of the program /AIF/ERROR_HANDLING_TRANS (which is the program behind the transaction /AIF/ERR).
I am currently working on a Testing Automation team, using Python and Allure to make reports of all the test cases that we run. Sometimes we deal with sensible data (e.g: passwords) that I can't show on the reports. If I use a function with a step decorator, something like this:
Which takes an element (a text box) and enters the value in it. In the step function I display the value that I want to enter, I could easily change that but the problem resides in the actual report. No matter what I enter on the step title, the report always shows the info that was passed as arguments to the function:
Thus, the "value" argument will always be displayed and that is something that I cannot have on certain projects. Is there anyway to make a custom step function that solves my problem?. I could either use with not showing the value at all or to change it to something like '*****'.
Just a thought.
#allure.step("Entering a value in element {3}")
def setSecureBoxValue(driver, element, value, box_name):
I solved my problem with the use of Fernet cryptography library.
I created a new function for the sensible data that encrypts the strings and then, inside this new function I call the one I shared on the screenshot (with a slight modification to decrypt the data). This results in the following report:
I have the following selection parameter:
PARAMETERS: p_ver(2) AS LISTBOX VISIBLE LENGTH 5.
I would like to populate it with the results from a ZECONFIG_VAR table.
At what point would I do this. Selection Screen Output, Start of Selection, or other. I am trying to allow users the ability to decide what version of the web service they would like to call. The config table will have different url's for the different versions.
I have looked at this Answer and the tutorial provided does not make sense to me.
I would do it at the event INITIALIZATION
However, it may be even easier to just create a search-help, and assign it to p_ver using the following:
parameters: p_ver(2) visible lenghth 5 MATCHCODE OBJECT zshelpname.
Esti is right that you probably want to fill an internal table from the DB table during INITIALIZATION.
But to the populate the listbox parameter, you need to put the call to VRM_SET_VALUES in AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
