Assigning default value to characteristic , if not specified.

[Former Member]

My Function is not getting triggered in dependency, when no value is assigned to Characteristic D1 which is numeric.

I am trying to give a value 0 if the value of D1 is not specfied, as given below

$SELF.D1 = 0 IF ( NOT SPECIFIED $SELF.D1 ),

FUNCTION ZSD_NONSTD_DETERMINATION

( PRODUCT = $SELF.PRODUCT,

D1 = $SELF.D1).

But it gives the follwing error. Pl suggest on how to tackle this issue.

E28021 Error: remaining part of expression cannot be interpreted

Pl help

Sunke,

seems there is error in syntax , and thats why you are getting this message.

please check where exactly the cusor is pointing with "E28021 Error: remaining part of expression cannot be interpreted".

there may be a unveven space between words , please check carefully ,

also try to use below syntax.

$SELF.D1 = '0' IF NOT SPECIFIED $SELF.D1,

FUNCTION ZSD_NONSTD_DETERMINATION

( PRODUCT = $SELF.PRODUCT,

D1 = $SELF.D1).

also you can make default value directly in characterstic value tab of characterstic, go to CT04 , open characterstic D1 in change mode and if you have assigned values 0 , put a tick mark in default value , so with this 0 will be defaulted to this characterstic.

Hope it may help you.

Thanks

Hello Ritesh,

It doesnt work.

The basic prolem is that, the Function is not getting triggered with the D1 is not specified.

How to trigger a function  even if one of the parameter is not specied. This would resolve my issue.

Sunke Shivprasad,

I didnt understand what doesnt work?

the way i asked to set default using characterstic maintainace in CT04 ?

please explain step by step what you are doing with the function ? and before this function is gettig trigger , what you are expecting from user to set values?

if in your case D1 is a important parameter , please create a mandatory characterstic for it so that user cant go ahead without setting its value, if its a option characterstic do not use it in Variant Tables or function as without a value itw ill not work.

so now , reply what exactly is your expectations from this dependency and possible share the bussiness process.

Thanks

I would suggest that you set 0 as the default-value for the characteristic D1 using

$SET_DEFAULT($SELF, D1, 0)

this way it is set to 0 by default but it is still changeable.

alternatively, you can use the syntax

$SELF.D1 ?= 0

best regards,
