Automatic variant update

[Former Member]

We have a report with variant created for it. This variant contains all the plants for the client. Now if a new store/plant is recognized they update a z table with new store information.

My object is to update this variant automatically if a new store is created and also i need to schedule a weekly job to update this variant. can anyone help me out?

regards.

If the Z-table is updated through table maintenance generator, in the PAI of the table maintenance generator screen you can write code to update the variant that you are talking about.

If your report program has stores on the selection screen and you want the variant of this report to be automatically changed, follow these steps.

1. Create a variant and in that for stores field choose the checkbox

"Save field without values".

2. In the INITIALIZATION of your report program, get the values from Z-table and

populate the select-options for stores.

Hope this helps. <REMOVED BY MODERATOR>

balaji,

in the report itself i need to create automatic variant. they are storing variants as zplantXXXX, so lets say plant number is 1000. A variant zplant1000 will be created.

now i have to check if any plant is missing in the variant list, if it is i need to create that variant.

Patil,

these fms are just giving me the variant information, if suppose the variant is not created it has to be created automatically. Once the variant is created automatically it gets stored in table VARID.

RS_VARIANT_EXISTS

RS_CREATE_VARIANT

RS_VARIANT_VALUE_SAVE

The "comment" field is not mandatory.

Besides, if you ask a subsequent question after such a "lazy close" then it had better be a good one....

Feeding forum trolls too lazy to search for themselves is not tollerated!
