BEX Query - Run time char InfoObjects manipulation for query results

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

Iam working on BEX queries to meet following requirements,

1) Display only first 2 char of an InfoObject in the query results. Actual infoprovider has 24 char for this InfoObject. Example: Summary code FABCDXXXX.. But we want to show only 'FA' in query results

2) We split a 120 char description into two 60 char InfoObjects, we need to concatenate the split char into one for query result display

3) We need to show a specific hierarchy level, nothing before or after. For example: Eighth level for a cost element hierarchy.

4) We need to show a constant in a column (which is not there in the table)

We are planning to use both BEX analyzer and Crystal for the reports.

I read in one of the thread that we can use formula variables/Customer exit for this but iam not very clear, if you know how to do it or if you have any step by step procedure, can you please pass it to me. Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

Raman

if you are using crystal also then you can do all these things in the crystal easily.
