With the help of this link http://help.sap.com/SAPHELP_NW04s/helpdata/EN/c0/980398e58611d194cc00a0c94260a5/frameset.htm

I am trying to create user specific selection variable for variants, after specifying selection variable as type B, i am not getting any variable name in the Name of Variable column(input only using F4).

Where i have to maintain variable names for user specific?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

You should maintain this in the User Master record.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c0/98039ee58611d194cc00a0c94260a5/frameset.htm http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c0/98039ee58611d194cc00a0c94260a5/frameset.htm

User-specific variables

Prerequisite: The selection field must have been defined in the

program using the MEMORY ID pid addition. User-specific values,

which can be created either from the selection screen or from the

user maintenance transaction, are placed in the corresponding

selection fields when the user runs the program.

You can also use these FM's to read and set values.

Function module	Function
VARI_USER_VARS_GET	Reads existing variable values
VARI_USER_VARS_SET	Changes existing variable values
VARI_USER_VARS_COPY	Copies variable values
VARI_USER_VARS_DELETE	Deletes variable values
VARI_USER_VARS_RENAME	Renames variable values
VARI_USER_VARS_DIALOG	Dialog for entering variable values

Also, you can maintain new parameter id in TUVID table.

hi shambu,

i have maintained that in User Master Record and in table tuvid.... Even though i am not getting value for name of the variable.. i followed below steps to create user specific variable

Procedure

...

In the Variant field on the initial screen for maintaining variants, enter the name of the variant.
In the Subobjects group box, select the Attributes radio button.
Choose Change.

The attributes screen for the selected variant appears.

In the Selection variable column, press F4.

A dialog box with the possible types for the selected field appears.

**********Choose type B for user-specific variables.

->You return to the attributes screen.

->The system automatically fills the Name of Variable column.

I am interesting to know what you are doing. I am trying to figure out how to add new variant dynamic date calculation myself.
