Variables used as values for Security fields.

Gurus,

Since we are all friends, let me show my ignorance.

There are variables that con be used instead of actual values in security fields, $USER being one of them.

We use $USER as the value for field BTCUNAME for object S_BTCH_NAM, to indicate that the user ID of the person logged in, is the value to be used.

Are there any more?

If so, where can I find information about them?

This would be for an ERP system, not BI.

Thanks

Juan

We are all in the same boat

This is not correct. Please see [SAP Note 101146|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/101146]

> Are there any more?

Plenty..see [SAP Note 119147|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/119147] for a tricky example.

[SAP Note 323817|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/323817] and the last paragraph of [SAP Note 410993|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/410993].
