Recorded Variants usage in BDCDATA

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

              I had recorded for a transaction (J1I5) in SHDB by selecting certain Selection screen Variant and i will run the program and it will generate a document, So if multiple variants are created for that transaction it has to run for all the variants one by one.

            After my recording the BDC_CURSOR for variants it had selected came like below

                 BDC_CURSOR  04/04

                  BDC_OKCODE  =PICK

                 BDC_CURSOR  05/06

                 BDC_OKCODE  =PICK

           Now how should i use the same in my BDC Program, because in future variants may change or gets added.

          How to decode this to know the what is the varaint ? or is that any formula that is been used like above ??

         Please suggest

Regards,

Lokesh

As you know the list of program variants (do you?), I advise you to run the program using transaction SA38/SE38 and select there the variant name (to that to avoid using the cursor in dynamic lists).

So, the batch input will run SA38/SE38.

If you have restriction about SA38/SE38 authorizations, you may also duplicate the transaction code to a custom one.
