Maintaining Variants

A variant is a reusable set of values that you can use to execute a

program. If you frequently run a program with the same set of

selections, you should save them as a variant.

Variant names can be up to 14 characters, and you may not use the '&' or

'%' characters. '&' has a special function in variant names.

System variants

Since Release 3.0D, it has been possible to create system variants for

report programs with the following characteristics:

o The name begins with 'SAP&' (system variants supplied by SAP) or

with 'CUS&' (system variants created by customers).

o They cannot be created for local private programs

o They are automatically protected against being overwritten, and can

only be changed by their creator or the last person to change them

o If the program is transported (transport object R3TR PROG), it

system variants are also transported

o They are attached to the Workbench Organizer (transport object LIMU

VARI)

o They are delivered to customers

o They are not client-specific. Although they are storted in client

000, they can be accessed from other clients

Other variants are not attached to the Workbench Organizer. You can,

however, include them in a transport request, either by hand (transport

object LIMU VARX) or by choosing Variants -> Transport request from the

variant maintenance screen.

In version 4.6C, you can create a transport request in SE38 for the variants of a program. You could then use transaction SCC1 to copy those changes from one client to another.

To create transport:

1) Go to transaction SE38 and enter the program name.

2) Click the radio button next to the "Variants" subobject and click the "Change" button

3) On "ABAP: Variants" screen, select menu path "Utilities -> Transport request"

4) Enter the variant(s) you want to copy into the "Variant name" box.

5) Click the execute button and save the data to a new change request.

To copy to new client:

1) Log on to target client and goto transaction SCC1.

2) Enter the source client and change request number from above.

3) Click the execute button.

Please note that if you're doing this in a downstream system (i.e. not a development box) you may need to change the client settings temporarily to carry out the client to client copy in SCC1.

Hi,

Check the std program RSVARIVALCLI

You can also do a F4 help in SE38 with the following search term RSVAR . You will find a lot of programs related to variants.

Cheers
