Transaction Variant Error

Former Member — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 18:57:05 GMT

Hi all,

I am trying to create a transaction variant for one of the SAP std transaction and when I execute tcode shd0 and put the tcode there and hit the create button I get the following error message:

Variants are possible only for dialog transactions.

Message no. MS417

Diagnosis

You cannot create variants for variant or parameter transactions.

So can you please tell me how can I create variant for such case.

Thanks,

Rajeev

It appears to be obsolete. Why not just create your own?

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the reply... but I couldn't understand what you were trying to say, I mean what is obsolete and what should I create my own.

Thanks,

My mistake, I saw the message "Obsolete: Use default values for transaction" and thought it was for this transaction only.Maybe it's for parameter transactions in general.

In any event, you can copy ABF1 to ZBF1 and make your changes there.

Yes that's true... but the only problem is the businees people here don't want to move from std transactin to the custom one.

Please advise ny solution

You can use FB01 instead of ABF1. Here ABF1 is variant transacation, you cannot create another variant transaction on a variant transaction.

Time to talk common sense to the users. Have them use FB50, FB60 or FB70.

Rob ... can you please tell me what is the reason that I can't use a transaction variant for this.

Thanks,

This is the place you are getting the error MSHD0F01 , As in my earlier reply i mentioned you cannot write transaction variant wrapper on transaction variant


  select single * from tstc where tcode = shdtv-tcode.
  if sy-subrc >< 0.
    message e416 with shdtv-tcode.
  else.
    if tstc-cinfo o c_type_menu     "menu
    or tstc-cinfo o c_type_para.    "parameter-/variant transaction
      message e417.
    endif.
  endif.

It doesn't really matter why you can't. Use one of the suggested workarounds.
