Reading variant table

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

I need to read a variant table data seems like CU60 transaction. Is there some BAPI or Function module to do it?

I had nightmares about this some days ago:

You can use FM RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS to display ONE variant associated to a report

If you want to see the information of ALL VARIANTS associated to a report I think the only way is checking table VARID to get all the variants associated to the report and then do a loop and call RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS for each variant.

Thanks Ramiro but this FM reading variants from a report and I need to read a "Variant table" this is a table t with characteristics, just like CU60.

I need to do the exact same thing. Did you find a BAPI or RFC to read these tables?

Thanks in advance..

You can use something by name Object dependencies to read from your variant tables ( CU60 ) and Read data using Vraiant functions ( CU65 , 66 , 67 ) during object assignment ( CL20N or any Transactio n which calls CL20Ndynamically ) . Call the table using an action / procedure which can be used on the dependency . the dependency is further attached to the characteristics / characteristics value or to class itself .

I think that is a little more than I need. I just need to download (through a BAPI) the complete contents of a variant table (like the output you get when using CU60) . Is this possible?

I got the function is

CARD_TABLE_READ_ENTRIES

but now I'm looking for updating the same table.

I love finding a helpful answer to a question that is 14 years old. Thought I'd comment to give this a bump to others looking for the same.
