Transaction Variant for Selection Screen

Former Member — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 11:28:57 GMT

Hi, experts!

A question regarding transaction variants: Is it possible to create screen variants and transaction variants via SHD0 for selection screens? I' ve created a customer report with one selection screen including parameters and select options and would like to provide the users with a variant transaction for this.

Utilizing the "Save as variant" option from the selection screen itself works out perfectly, but this variant cannot be transported. And trying to create a transaction variant via SHD0 fails because values entered in the selection screen parameters and select options help screens are not saved and presented.

Any hints are more than welcome!

Regards,

Thomas

But, give the variant a name beginning with "CUS&" and this variant will be transported. Variant beginning with "CUS&" or "SAP&" are so-called "system variant" and are transported automatically. You can then copy the transaction code and use this new variant in the new transaction.

Raymond
