Error in rendering root for dialog

[dcmvdoord]

Hello experts,

After netweaver 2004 s - SPS 15, we have a

issue with our planning application (BI-

integrated planning) / variables. For all our

planningsfunctions with a VARV command in it, the

java.lang.NullPointerException occurs.

SAP Note 1134947 concerns a similar problem, but that

note is already in SPS 15. Before sps 15 we have'n got a any problems with the planningsfunctions.

The error occurs in the planningsfunction with VARV in it. For example.

DATA ZFTE_NEW TYPE F.

DATA ZMAAND TYPE 0CALMONTH.

DATA ZMUT TYPE ZMUTATIE.

DATA ZDATUM TYPE 0CALMONTH.

DATA KEYFIG TYPE KEYFIGURE_NAME.

ZFTE_NEW = VARV (ZVARFTE).

ZDATUM = VARV (ZCALMNTHFR).

etc...

Result is the java error and not the variable sceen

If we change / hard coded the variables

ZFTE_NEW = 1.

ZDATUM = '200801'.

The function results then with no errors, but this is not an option.

After executing the planningsfunction in the wad the error in rendering root for dialog DLG_VARIABLE occurs.

Anyone has this problem as well?

With regards,

Dennis

Dear D.C.M,

please make shure that the variables are set .e.g by displaying the variables values in a message or by debugging it.

ZFTE_NEW = VARV (ZVARFTE).

ZDATUM = VARV (ZCALMNTHFR).

break-point.

• if zfte_new is initial.

message .. with zfte_new.

• endif.

*if ZDATUM is initial.

message ... with ZDATUM.

*endif.
