Variant copy problem

Former Member — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 13:36:46 GMT

Hi guys,

I have a situation in which user has created so many personal layouts on alv report. now we need to move it to other user.

Is there a standard way to transfer variants between users? I mean all the variants that a user created can they be mass copies to a different user?

I have idea about moving variants cross clients.

But no idea about making available user specfic variant to other user.

please give me some useful advise.

its really urgent.

Regards,

Azad.

Hi Azad,

The ALV layouts which are created are stored in a table called LTDX.

The layouts which are user-specific can be used only by that user. But the standard layouts can be used by all users.

The table may be copied to other systems which includes both the types of layouts

Thanks & Regards

Santhosh
