ABAP Help needed with update rule

[Former Member]

I have created a new keyfigure A and a new keyfigure B in 1 update rule, derived from basic keyfigures. Keyfigure C is calculated by adding A and B together...in the same updaterule.

keyfigure A and B are filled (recalculated ) as expected but keyfigure C remains empty. Can anybody tell me why?

regards,

Hi Tom

I think you have written a update rule for all the three keyfigures A, B and C.

When you write an update routine it is local and the value returned by any routine or calculation can not be accesed by other keyfigure. The Key Figure C will be calculated with values of A and B from the datapacket which are both SPACE(not from the values returned by update routines of A and B). so value of C will always be SPACE or Empty.

To solve the problem write Start Routine for calculating A B and C

Please assign points if helpful.

What is the code you have? I would use a simple formula in your update rules to say calculate this C = (A + B) it's that simple.
