Defining Input Parameters

Input parameters are the values passed to the BAPI. SQR Production Reporting Studio displays input parameters based on the BAPI selected in the Query Builder.

Input parameter size is limited by SAP R/3 definitions. A dot in the upper-right corner of a cell indicates that the input parameter is required. You must define values for all required input parameters. Defining values for the other input parameters is optional.

*  To define a value for an input parameter:

  1. On the Query Builder - Input Parameter, page, select a parameter under Parameter.

  2. Enter a value under Values, or click Show Values and select a value.

Enter dates in the format of DDMMYYYY. For example, enter February 1, 2005 as 01022005.

Note:

Show Values retrieves a list of help values from the SAP R/3 system. Help values may not be available for all input parameters because the ABAP/4 programmer did not build help value definitions for the field, you do not have permission to access the values, or help values were not activated in the SAP R/3 installation configuration. When help values are not available, SQR Production Reporting Studio disables Show Values.

Tip:

Some input parameters require leading zeros. If you run a report and no data is displayed, you may need to add extra zeros in front of an input parameter. For example, you may need to enter customer number 15 as 00015. The number of leading zeros required is determined by SAP R/3.
