You are correct. There is absolutely no coding in a report writer report.

For your concern regarding making a field in a selection screen mandatory, one solution I can provide is that -

In selection screen , click on SAVE.

There is a column Required Field. Check the box corresponding to the field that you want to make mandatory.

SAVE the variant with a name.

Your fields will be made mandatory.

Users have to use this variant. And the fields will be mandatory.

Hope this may satisfy for the time being.

Hi Subin,

Thank you very much for the solution.

I tried the procedure as you explained. It works!

Your solution partially solved my issue.

Now the issue is creating that 'Variant' as default.

How can I tell the report to execute only with variant and specify that variant as default, in which I enforced 'Required field'.

I hope you understood my issue.

Please reply ASAP.

Well, even I am researching or trying to find out what exactly you have asked - To make any report group execute with a default variant.

I am yet to find a solution. Will inform you once I get it. Expecting vice versa from you.

Thank you for awarding my first points.

Regards,

Subin.

Hi

I found out the solution to execute the report group with a default variant.

For this you need to create a Transaction code for the report group and the trick lies while creating the Transaction code.

Step:

1. Go to Transaction SE93.

2. Put a Transaction Code ( Eg: Z_CF01 )

3. Click on Create.

4. Under "Default values for" tab

a. Transaction START_REPORT

b. Check "Skip Initial Screen"

c. Screen 0

5. Under "Classification tab" Check "Inherit GUI attributes"

6. Under "Default Values"

Name of Screen field Value

a. D_SREPOVARI-REPORTTYPE RW

b. D_SREPOVARI-REPORT CF01

c. D_SREPOVARI-VARIANT TESTMANDATORY

7. Save.

8. Execute the T-code and the Report group will execute with the variant TESTMANDATORY.

Try
