Variant Name in Background

Former Member — Wed, 23 Aug 2006 09:09:32 GMT

Hi Frnds,

Can anybody let me know the way to capture the variant name while executing in Background.

I used sy-slset to capture variant in foreground but its not working while i execute the same program in Background.

hi,

Sy-slset gives the variant name though we run in background mode. All the system fields gets filled with the corresponding values as soon as the execution of the program starts , either it can be foreground or background.

hi,

You can get the variant name by writing a select on table VARID.

Hi all,

sy-slset is not filled when running program via SE38 -> F9.

However, here is a good solution :

Hello Srininas,

First of all, the link I provided is not my post. It is someone called "Vinod" who wrote that page.

To answer ypur problem, when running via SE38 in background (using F9), you are still in foreground when the event AT SELECTIONS SCREEN OUTPUT occurs.

This was a quite simple but very efficient idea, but not mine
