Text variable for previous year

[Former Member]

Hello BW Experts,

I have to create a text variable for previous year. Could you please let me know the procedure for doing that.

User enters the value by using a user entry variable zfiscyear( fiscal year variable)

Suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi BWer,

The text varaibale will pick up the text for whatever year the users enter in the zfiscyear variable. If you do an offset on zfiscyear, then the text variable will also pick up the correct year as per the offset. Or do you need something like if they enter 2006, but the text should show 2005?

Thanks very much.

Hi BWer,

You should be able to do that using a custmer exit based text variable. See if this helps:

Hope this helps...
