Pattern Selection on 0Project or WBS Element

[Former Member]

Hi Collegues,

I'm facing a BEx handling issue. My users for Project System Reporting need a possibility to select on 0Project (or 0Project_ex) by pattern.

Example:

0PROJECT: I.TEST.10012.1000

Variable input: I.TEST*

So that all values are shown starting with I.TEST. Normally that is no problem, but for this Object it seems not to work.

Please help.

Hi,

You can do it by using Customet Exit, just see the sample code, you changec the code as per your requirement,.

When 'ZGLA'.
   IF I_STEP = 2.
     Clear l_s_range.
     l_s_range-LOW = '*30'.
     l_s_range-OPT = 'CP'.
     l_s_range-SIGN = 'I'.
     Append l_s_range to e_t_range.
     
     Clear l_s_range.
     l_s_range-LOW = '*31'.
     l_s_range-OPT = 'CP'.
     l_s_range-SIGN = 'I'.
     Append l_s_range to e_t_range.
   ENDIF.

See

Thanks

Hello Reddy,

thank you for your reply. Im not sure if that will work, since the message is: Characteristic Project Definition does not support pattern selection.

Do you know that this code will work for 0PROJECT as well?

And I want to keep it flexible as well. So if another user wants to use the report and he is not interested in I.TEST, but in W.ANOTHER. he should be able to do this without useing another report.

Hi Joerg,

As the 0PROJECT has a special conversion exit "PROJ", I think this search by contain pattern will not be possible.

I have encountered a case where entering a range in variable screen doesn't work well.

The system does not recognize which value falls in this range and which not.

The workaround would be, to use 0PROJECT_EX which is the external format of 0PROJECT for variable.

0PROJECT_EX doesn't have the special conversion exit so it works in the normal way.

Hello Patricia,

I noticed that as well. I have tried to use the 0PROJECT_EX as well and the same message appears when I try to use a pattern selection.

I also tried it with conversion type ABPSN. Same result.

Characteristic Project definition (EX) does not support pattern selection

Hi,

I'm useing 0PROJECT_EX now with a work arround. With this 0PROJECT_EX it is at least possible to select a range without having the masterdata in the system.

I'm interested now, if I have a problem with this InfoObject that is only in my company or if this is something that I would find in other systems as well.

Best regards

Joerg
