OLAP BAPI - MDX Extension - SAP VARIABLES

Posted on Feb 22, 2005 at 04:06 PM 26 Views

Hello,

we use OLAP BAPI in oder to run queries angainst BW. Queries are written in MDX using the SAP VARIABLES extension to MDX. When using a variable for characteristic "0MATERIAL", the system returns an error stating that the specified value is not correct with this characteristic (we test our queries using tx "mdxtest"). In fact, the specified value exists for 0MATERIAL. Are there any further restrictions to using the SAP VARIABLES-clause (e.g., ALPHA-conversion exit)?

Thank you!

Kind regards,

Tom

    All literals in SAP must have the right input format.

    The conversion routine for Materials is "MATN1".

    FM 'CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT' to convert External Material Numbers to Internal format. FM 'CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT' to convert Internal Material Numbers to External format.

    Hope that Helps!

      Hello Rishi,

      thank you for your comment. You are right - the conversion exit is MATN1. In fact it does not work either using a material number in external format or using a material number in internal format. Any further ideas - are there any specifics to MDX using clause SAP VARIABLES?

      Thank you!

      Kind regards,

      Tom
