how to create variant with input file, e.g. excel

[Former Member]

Dear all,

we have to plan a batch job network for direct input (KCLJ). The job will be triggered from mainframe. each job will load one file to system with direct input. In order to do this, I need create variant for each job. In the variant only the input file name should be different.

As we have many files, I would like to as whether there is eady method to create those variant from a input file (e.g. in the input file, there is information about variant name, input file name etc)

Thanks and regards

Hello Tao,

you should check the function modules RS_VARIANT_* for creating, changing, copying, deleting, etc report variants.

As an alternative you should consider to develop a new report that has the file path (or the folder that contains more than one excel file?) as a parameter and transfers the values into the corresponding parameters/select-options via SUBMIT directly to the desired report.
