This table containes the variables in selection criteria.

Whenever u create select-options in a selection screen,

an entry is made in this table.

TVARV is the variant table and used to store the variants of a report.You do not need to create a new variant or keep changing an existing variant each time a value changes. Instead, you can change the relevant values in table TVARV.

Its an obsolette table in ECC 5.0 and the correct one will be TVARVC table.

We used to store the fiscal period variants in this table.

say i want to fetch the contact person name for a sales office, it will be very difficult to change it time to time if u use any of the methods.

instead what u do is make entries in TVARV having Sales office and corresponding contact person under a variable name.

in ur programs u need to fetch this variable corresponding to ur sales office from this table before using it.

hope it makes clear
