Regarding report execution using variant

Former Member — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 12:24:14 GMT

Hello friends,

I m facing one problem on development client where i tried to execute report, it was showing me error as report can only be started with variant eventhough the report has selection screen having select option. i guess eventhough report can only be started with variant, i must have seen selection screen. I may be wrong .

please hepl me out.

Regards,

Parag

Hi Parag,

Please try to create a background job thru SM36 and execute thru SM37 tcodes for this report by providing variant name.

put the options accordingly so that you can execute the job immediately.

reward if useful.

Thanks

Hi Prachi,

See i have been assigned to upgrade project. So as a part of my work, i need to test report both on old QA and on testing client also. Now there is a report when i executed it , it was showing me error as that report can only be started with variant eventhough that report has a code to display selection screen when executed.When i tried to execute the same report on test client, it was showing me the same error and the same report executed successfully ' with variant ' option provided on SE38 tcode . What i need to confirm is that the report should show me selection screen eventhough it can be executed with variant...Am i correct??? ..I may be wrong. Please give me suggestion

Regards;

Parag
