check the value of a user defined characteristic in fox

Question: hi
how do you check the value which a charcteristic takes in the fox editor.

for eg

if I want to check the value which the characteristic takes in a for loop in each iteration and then execute a particular formula according to the value then how should I do it.

please note that the characrteristic is my own defined and not a standard SAP characteristic.

please its a little urgent

thanks

Answer:
You can use execute with trace or put message commands in the FOX

message Tnnn (Tnnn) with XXX XXX XXX XXX.
where T is the type and you can have up to 4 operands XXX of text or characteristic

Check the help documentation or F1 in the FOX editor.

Answer:
Hi

I guess you can restrict your calculation based on any particular characteristic master.

for ex. Zmanpower is characteristic and ONSITE & OFFSHORE are two masters for this. and i want to calculate foreign travel for only ONSITE copnsultants.

I can say

Data z1 type zmanpower.
Data z2 type zallowances.

FOREACH z1


{ZAMT(key fig), 'FOREIGN TRAVEL'} = {ZNUMBERS(key fig), 'ONSITE'} * ZRATE (key fig).

ENDFOR.

and it would work. use # wherever required.
