Current User & Key Date in Web Reports

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want to default the current user name & current date (could be different from the varaible key date) in the header or footer of the web report. I tried text elements in the web template where we can default only the variable values entered by the user, or general text which include above two texts along with many other details which are not required by me. I have also tried text variable in the query properties in vein. Could someone give some tips, please.

I have a formula variable "Current Calender Day". How I can create a text variable from this ?

Thanks & regards,

Sheeja.

PS: I'm a functional guy, so kindly explain in detail if any EXit coding is involved.

Hi Sheeja,

If ur looking this option for a web template then please follow below steps for current user name & current date :

1. Create a Text web item present under the Miscelaneous Tab of web items.

2. In its properties tab Tick 'Display Text only'.

3. Select General Text elements For text binding option (Present in Data binding)

In general text Elements option:

Make a binding with a data provider.

For user name select - Current user

For Current date - Select Last Refresh options.

Try this, hope this will help to u.

Thanks !

Sheeja,

Both of what you require are SAP exits - they ate 0EMPLOYEE/0USER and 0DATE - you can use the same...

As for displaying them- I am not sure how you have used them currently - preferably use a formula variable for 0DATE and 0USER should be available for you in its current state.
