Hello,

Do like this:

SUBMIT

... USING SELECTION-SETS OF PROGRAM prog 


Effect 
Uses variants of the program prog when executing the program rep. 



Note 
Important 

The programs prog and rep must have the same SELECT-OPTIONS and PARAMETERs. Otherwise, variants of the program prog may be destroyed. 



Note 
When using this addition, the specified variant vari of the program prog is taken in USING SELECTION-SET vari. On the other hand, all variant-related actions on the selection screen of rep (Get, Save as variant, Display, Delete) refer to the variants of prog. 



Example
SUBMIT REPORT01 
       VIA SELECTION-SCREEN 
       USING SELECTION-SET 'VARIANT1' 
       USING SELECTION-SETS OF PROGRAM 'REPORT00' 
       AND RETURN. 


Effect 
Executes the program REPORT01 with the variant VARIANT1 of the program REPORT00. 



Note 
Runtime errors: 


LOAD_PROGRAM_NOT_FOUND: The specified program was not found. 

SUBMIT_WRONG_TYPE: The specified program is not a report. 

SUBMIT_IMPORT_ONLY_PARAMETER: Only one value passed to a report parameter. 

SUBMIT_WRONG_SIGN: Invalid value passed to a selection with the addition SIGN. 

SUBMIT_IN_ITAB_ILL_STRUCTURE: Table passed to a selection with WITH sel IN itab had an unexpected structure. 

For reading the VARAINT make use of the FM <b>RS_VARIANT_DISPLAY</b>
