create screen variants without data

[Former Member]

Is it possible to create a screen variant for a follow up screen in a system with no data? I understood that there is only a possibility to create screen variants when you have data and you are able to record it, but maybe there is a possibility to create it without data as well?

Thanks for any help provided.

Carola,

Can you be more specific on your requirements. Thanks.

I have created a variant z_iw81 for screen iw81 with the transaction SHD0. Now I jump via goto to screen variants and want to create a screen variant for program SAPLCOIH and screens 0106 and 0153. But the system has no data, so I cannot record this screen variant. That means, I have no idea how I can jump e.g. to screen 0153 and save this variant. I was just wondering if I do something wrong or if it does not work because it's not possible whithout data (which means, I cannot also enter data in the standard iw81 to enter the transaction).

I hope this explains my problem...

Thank you very much

Using recording, you need to simulate the process as you have the correct data.

However, you can look at the code how screen 0153 got called. Doubleclick on screen 0153 in se80. Then investigate how this screen is called. There probably a function code that is checked for screen 0153 to be called.

Thanks very much - I had to create a transport request from an external system with the object R3TR SCVI Z_IW81_0153, then I could modify the variant even though there is no data to record. Now I will follow se80 / 0153 to investigate the coding and do my developments.
