Program variants

Former Member — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 13:04:41 GMT

Hi All

I have a requirement as below:

Set a Zprogram with a variant already created manually as batch job in SM37.

This variant has date entry also which is defaulted to system date.

My requirement now is: when the batch job is run tomorrow, the variant set will still have the default today's date. I need to change the date accordingly whenever the batch is run. How do i update the variant with this information in the code.

Thanks and regards

Shilpa

Instead of go for varient try with selection table.

here you can set the data value as sy-datum.

For details check, [Calling program by passing data|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/9f/dba51a35c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm]

In the Create Variant Screen:

In the column 'Selection Variable' select 'D' using F4 help and

in the column 'Name of Variable' select 'Current Date' using F4 help
