how to view Program Variants without SE38?

Former Member — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 19:15:27 GMT

My users wanted SE38 to view source code. I told them to use remote compare from Dev. Now they request SE38 to view program variants, that they create directly in PRD (i.e., not transported). Is there a way to view these without SE38/SA38/SE80?

A little known gemstone is transaction VARCH, but it is not "just" view access unless you have protected the access to the variants.

If you search for VARCH then you will find your options.

Cheers,

Your answer led me to VARD, which is exactly what I hoped for. Thanks Julius!

Hi,

I've checked both VARCH anc VARD. From those two T-codes, it's allowing me to change the variant.

Once am 'in', i can modify in VARD too. No Authorization object found which can restrict from modifying the values. May a screen variant will help to grey-out the "values" ...

Regards,

Srihari

same here. fortunately my users want to change variants too, and I don't mind if they have that ability. VARD and VARCH don't seem to have auth checks to control maintenance.
