flexible default value for manual input variable

[Former Member]

Hi,

I’ve got a text variable of type „manual input/default” value that is ready for input.

The variable has a certain default value and is used in very many queries, so creating a new variable would not be my favorite choice

I'd like to make the default value of the variable dependent upon the name of the query. Unfortunately, it’s not a ready for input customer exit variable. If it was I could set the default value in step 1, I guess…

Is there still a chance to fulfill my requirement even though it’s a manual input variable?

Thanks for your help!

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Looks like all doors are locked. You need to be ready either with Customer exit or create a new variable. What is your actual business requirement?

Hi Thomas,

Interesting, but I'm afraid to say it's not possible for default/manual entry variable,as the name suggests it's "manual entry" unless a default value is set either by exits or a restriction by values in default values or characteristic restriction for this field in the query designer.

Hi,

Are you willing to change the Processing type of that variable to customer exit so that with the help of code we can populate the value in i_step = 1.

Please also explain it with some example.
