loading user defined variants for selection screens

[Former Member]

hi everybody,

i want to add a feature to my report which automatically loads a variant for a report.just like iw38, where the variant for the main selection-screen is automatically set when you name it like "U_<username>". sadly i couldnt find anything helpful by debugging the report.

is there a certain function module to load specific screen-variants?

thanks,

You can use FM RS_SUPPORT_SELECTIONS

Hi dsp,

There is a table

VARID - Variant directory.

it consists of all the variants according to the user name, date & time.

You can do something like this,

data: it_variant type standard table of varid,

wa_variant type varid.

Initialization.

select * into corresponding fields of table it_variant

from varid

where report = sy-repid

and ename = sy-uname.

sort it_variant descending by edat etime.

delete adjacent duplicates from it_variant comparing ename.

loop at it_variant into wa_variant.

*CLEAR W_VARIANT.

*W_VARIANT = wa_variant.

CALL FUNCTION 'RS_SUPPORT_SELECTIONS'

EXPORTING

report = sy-repid

variant = wa_variant-variant

• EXCEPTIONS

• VARIANT_NOT_EXISTENT = 1

• VARIANT_OBSOLETE = 2

• OTHERS = 3

.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

endloop.

Hope it helps you,

Regards,
