User-defined variable in selection variant - doesn't work?

Former Member — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 13:17:01 GMT

Hello,

Anyone had any experience of using user-defined variables (type B) in a selection variant? I can't get this to work in 4.7 or ECC 6.0. Seems like a bug - there's no way to specify the name of the variable. The theory behind their use is fine, but I wonder if anyone has successfully used them?

Thanks,

Chris.

In an ECC 5 system, I can get to these showing if I'm in a report selection screen and I use the "Goto > User variables" (or Ctrl-F6) option... but note that it will only show the menu option if there are report parameters that have a PID on them and where the PID is defined in table TUVID (see note 144459). That said, personally I've only used the "T" option and maintained system wide values in table TVARVC.

Hi all, I want to know where the User defined variables - defined under B in the attributes of a Variant get stored.

Hi,

Could you please elaborate how it works..? Like where the variable is created and how the values are stored in the variables.

Thank you!
