Error:Create Transaction Code for zprogram with Variant Only

[Former Member]

Team,

I have a zprogram. In SE38 it says "Report Zprogram can only be started with a variant". I have four Variants for this program.

In SE93 (Create Transaction Code), I get the following error when I try to create a Transaction Code. (I am using second option - Report Transaction)

Could you please tell me how to create a transaction code.

Thanks

Release 4.7

Hi,

In the Attributes of the report, you have selected check box Start with variant as a result of which the error comes. If your report has selection screen, go to SE38, enter your report name, select variants and then select display. In the ABAP variants: Initial screen create a variant for your report and then in se38 execute ur report with variant.

Or you can uncheck the Start with variant chekbox in the attributes of your report. It will work fine.

Hope it helps.

Cheers

Thanks for your reply.

I want to know is there a way to create transaction code without making any changes in the attribute of the program.

Thanks

Yes, you can do so. At the time of creating transaction code in SE93, select Report transaction, and after entering Transaction Text and Program name, also enter your variant name in the field Start with variant.

Hope it helps otherwise let me know.

If you dont want to change the program attributes then you can only create a transaction as suggested by SHARMISHTA and it will start the report with a variant . If you want to display the normal selection screen ( without a variant ) you have to change the attribute.

So to say if you have four variants you will have to create four transactions for it.

hi,

in SE93 -> (choose second option)

specify program name - > zprogram

start with variant - > specify your variant name

save

I hope it will solve your problem

Follow below steps.

1. create a transaction code say 'ZZZ' for your report

2. create another transaction code for which take 4th option(transaction with variant) for the start object, then system will ask for transaction code(give 'ZZZ') and the variant.

Hope this will solve your problem.
