Do you know the function module to create variants?

[Former Member]

To automate the setting of variants on the selection-screens, I'd like to make some tool program to create variants.

I'd appreciate if you could tell me some function module(or any other methods) to create variants.

Thank you in advance for your information.

hi,

For ALV

REUSE_ALV_DEFAULT_VARAINT -to get a variant

REUSE_ALV_f4_VARIANT-to get list of variants

[Former Member]

Hi,

CALL FUNCTION 'RS_VARIANT_EXISTS' - check whether exists or not.

CALL FUNCTION 'RS_CHANGE_CREATED_VARIANT' - update existing variant

CALL FUNCTION 'RS_CREATE_VARIANT' - create variant.

Regards,

GURU

the question was not for ALV but for selection screen.

Hi,

Check FM FASU_RS_CREATE_VARIANT.

Search in SE37 for createvariant*.

Thank you very much for your help.

FM RS_CREATE_VARIANT would be a solution.

I beg one more help.

Can this FM set variat variables (TVARVC variables) or not ?

[Former Member]

Check the below link and it may help you

Thanks

I found that RS_CHANGE_CREATED_VARIANT can set the variant variable from TVARVC with TABLE parameter "OBJECTS".

Thank you very much for your help.
