Hi,

You can create any number of selection sets (variants) for a program. The variants are allocated to the program uniquely.

Creating variants makes sense when you frequently start a program with the same selection default values.

You can mark Start with variants in the program attributes. Users (system, services, reporting) can then start the program only with a variant.

If the program uses several selection screens, you can choose to create a variant for all the selection screens or individually for each selection screen.

Naming conventions and transporting variants

"SAP&xxx" are supplied by SAP

"CUS&xxx" are created by customers (in client 000)

Variants that follow these naming conventions are client-independent and will automatically be transported along with the report. If these naming conventions are not followed, an entry for a request (task) must be added to the object list: LIMU VARI .

You have to assign a name and a description to each variant. By default, variants are available for both online and background processing. You can also define a variant exclusively for use with background processing.

You can protect the variant itself and the individual selection criteria and parameters against unauthorized changes. If you select Display only in catalog, this variant will not be displayed in the general value help (F4).

The type of a selection is determined in its declaration: Type s for SELECT-OPTIONS, type p for PARAMETERS. If you select Selections protected, then the field(s) will not be ready for input. You can use the hide attribute to suppress selection criteria and parameters on the screen, if required, resulting in a less cluttered selection screen.

When you use selection variables, there are three basic ways of supplying your selections with values at runtime:

From table TVARV (type T)

Date fields using dynamic date calculation (type D), such as today's date

User-specific variables (type B); Prerequisite: The selection must be declared with the MEMORY ID addition.
