Welcome to SDN.

for creating variants programatically you can use FM

RS_CREATE_VARIANT.

But you cannot create variants for module pool programs.

Hi,

Try to insert the data in table TVARV. Please check it once.

Hi

Use below function module for variant operation

RS_CREATE_VARIANT Creating a variant (not using a selection screen)

RS_VARIANT_CATALOG Returns variant directory for a report in an internal table

RS_VARIANT_EXISTS Checks whether variant exists

RS_VARIANT_TEXT Returns text for a variant

Hi,

Please find the sample using RS_CREATE_VARIANT (FM).

It make use of other FM also , just have a look .

Hope this may help you.

REPORT ZEXAMPLE.

DATA: JVARI_DESC LIKE VARID,

RC LIKE SY-SUBRC,

VARIANT_TEXT LIKE VARIT-VTEXT,

JVT LIKE VARIT OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,

SELPA LIKE RSPARAMS OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,

PARMS LIKE RSPARAMS OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,

OBJS LIKE VANZ OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

PARAMETERS: P_VAR LIKE RSVAR-VARIANT. "NAME OF VARIANT

JVARI_DESC-REPORT = SY-REPID.

JVARI_DESC-VARIANT = P_VAR.

JVARI_DESC-ENAME = 'EXAMPLES'.

JVT-REPORT = SY-REPID.

JVT-VARIANT = P_VAR.

JVT-LANGU = SY-LANGU.

JVT-VTEXT = 'FUNCTION EXAMPLES'.

APPEND JVT.

CLEAR SELPA.

SELPA-SIGN = 'I'.

SELPA-OPTION = 'EQ'.

SELPA-KIND = 'P'.

SELPA-SELNAME = 'P_VAR'.

SELPA-LOW = P_VAR.

hi

I used the FM rs_create_variant, as per the code. when i executed it asked me to specify the program name.

what should be done?

Hi Arup!

Maybe it is easier to create a report, which calls a screen. Then selection screen and variants are handled automatically by SAP.

If you absolutely need a module pool, you might call this with a 'call transaction ... skip first screen' after start-of-selection. By this you can fill the values from the report selection screen and user sees only second screen of module pool program
