Problem with customer exit variable that is input ready as well

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I'm facing an issue with a customer exit variable that again has been defined as input ready. I'm not sure why it is working incorrectly and I#m wondering if this is a bug or if I do s.th. stupid.

The problem is that in the exit program ZXRSRU01 this varibale does not go into the program code I have prepared for this variable. I have added entry points for all three i_step values 1,2,3, but the code will never be touched and in debugging I can see that it simply pypasses the code for this variable.

I have tried to enter a value or to leave it blank, no difference.

When I run another test by just using a customer exit variable w/o input ready capability, then I have no issue, the exit does exactly what I have coded.

Does this mean, that a customer exit variable along with input readiness dows not work ?????

You may ask why I need this variable. Well, my intention is to use the input value of this variable A to derive other values for a complete different variable B. Afterwards I want to erase the input given into variable A to have it blank.

Any comments are appreciated

Thanks

Hi Heiko,

I assume A & B variables are defined on different Characteristics. If you wish to derive B based on A, you can create the Query Characteristic Restriction on B & have a dummy RKF restricted on A whose processing is by Manual Input; where processing of B is by Customer Exit. In istep 2 you can check for B, read A & derive B. There would not be a need to blank out A since the Query would not be restricted on A - you can hide the dummy RKF from showing in the output. Just a thought.

Hi folks,

I still have a problem with variables that are indicated as both, Input ready and Customer Exit. When a variable is designed this way, then it doesn't go to the customer exit code.

The field i_vnam does not get populated.

Again, when I use a variable that is NOT input ready (but Customer Exit) all works fine.

Any ideas are appreciated

I forgot to mention that the query itself is Input ready (or better said two key figures of it).

Can it be that this fact would confuse the whole variable handling in the customer exit ?
