Selection screen variant for report

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can we restrict the selection screen variants for reports by user? For example my report is ZREPORT. Different users can save variants for the report. When they choose a variant for executing the report, they would like to see only the variants they created.

By default SAP lists all variants created (irrespective of who created).

Thanks

I think the variants are user specific.

If you login as user1, you cannot see the data/variants of user2.

Please correct me if I am wrong!!

No variants are not user specific.

I think you cannot hide the variants created by other user for the same report. All will be displayed. But let me check.

Thanks,

Yes, that's true Somen, but for a given program, if there are 10 or more variants stored, you will get an popup where you can filter the variants shown in the next dialog. One of the fields that you can filter on is User id.

Hi,

If you want the other users doesn't want to execute (Not see) other variant..you can check if that user has created the variant in the AT SELECTION-SCREEN event..

By checking VARI-VARIANT against the table VARID and check if sy-uname <> VARID-ENAME.

Thanks Rich. Displaying User Names along with Variant is one of the options I am looking for. I remember I saw it in my previous client. Didnt know about the number of variants needed for displaying user names.

Thanks everybody for the reply.
