WWI: Inserting Repeating Groups 

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Select the symbols to be included in the repeating group.

    2. Repeating groups may not extend over several cells in a table line. It may extend within a cell or over the whole table line.

  2. Choose WWI ® Insert Repeating Group.

    3. The Insert Repeating Group dialog box appears.

  3. Select the type of repeating group that you require. For further information, see

You can use the Browse function to search for substance characteristic categories. The R/3 System opens the Symbol Tree dialog box in which you can select the required substance characteristic category under Char. symbols.
  1. Select:

All

If you want to output all data records over which the system iterates

All except the first

If you want to output all data records with the exception of the first

  1. Choose Enter.

Word transfers the control objects for the repeating group to the highlighted area.

  1. You can nest repeating groups. For valid nesting definitions, see the syntax graph (see: Repeating Groups).

The numbering must be unique. Otherwise, the error log cannot be allocated uniquely in the document template.

When checking the document template, the system always outputs an error for any symbol with the same symbol key as the error log (Check-File). This means that, particularly for repeating groups, the error text is output for the first corresponding symbol found, even if this has been defined correctly.

Make sure that the key for repeating groups is composed of "BRG" and the number, and that the allocation is unique.
  1. If you want to edit repeating groups subsequently, position the cursor within the symbol and choose WWI ® Edit Group.
