Using variables within structures

Former Member — Thu, 03 May 2007 21:50:15 GMT

Hi All,

I tried creating a variable and putting it under a structure. When I run the query I get an error stating "Cannot use variable <variableid> in structure elements". Any idea as to why this is happening? Can't I use variables within structures? Where is this limitation documented?

Appreciate your response...

Thanks

Sundar

an idea to this is to give the name of the variable in 'COMPONENT" and find the suitable "Component Type" for that variable.

for e.g create a component like 'VAR!" and give the component type as "KUNNR" (kna1-kunnr).

in this case, var1 will take the TYPE "Char 10" of kunnr.

try and see

Hi Ajay,

Thanks for your response but I think I didnt put forth my requirement correctly. I was talking about creating a structure and a variable in BEx designer and creating BEx reports. I am not sure how I can implement your solution in a BW report.

Thanks

well,

i used to create structure for BW only when i wanted to create extractor in FM.

which is later used to create Datasources.

so, can you tell me, how they structure should be.

Hi Ajay, I am not talking about the structure which you can create with RSO2 transaction for your datasource. I am talking about structures in BEx designer (BW305).

Thanks
