variant creation using a program

Former Member — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 15:20:25 GMT

Hi I want to create a variant for RIMODGEN program using another wrapper program

But I dont know how to save the values for a particular variant in RIMODGEN

Say I want to append values to the material parameter on selection screen of RIMODGEN using a variant...

Whats the table which stores the values for a particular variant??

I assume this is related to your earlier question about this report.

You can have a look at FM RS_VARIANT_CHANGE to change your variant.

You could use table TVARVC for this. You can manually set up parameters and select-options on this table through transaction STVARV, or you could do it programmatically.

Your variant for RIMODGEN can read this table. In Variant Attributes, choose Selection Variable type "T" and the parameter that you set up on TVARVC.

Hi Grame,

Check table VARID which stores variant names.

Hi,

If you want to use Variant Information,

Use FM RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS

Have you tested that you can submit this report using the submit command with a variant?

hi Grame,

pls. check function group SVAR. There are many useful FMs there. One of them is RS_VARIANT_ADD. With this you can create new variants from program.

hope this helps

Try doing a "where used list on the FM". You'll see some standard SAP reports that use it.

well that doesnt solve my problem .. so i had to put off the idea in between

I am trying to process more than 6K records at one go using wrapper program passing valyes to MATNR in RIMODGEN

But after 6K records single values SQL fails... so I thought may be I can process 6K records everytime for background processing..

But CFM1 should be activated and deactivated for every processing .. that means job cannot be scheduled one after the other

Well, I guess the obvious solution is to try using ranges of materials rather than large numbers of individual values.
