Dynamic Variant for Report

Hi,
How to put current date in report output through variants.
I should not use events, when user selects variants then i should place the current date in my selection-screen.
help full information will be appreciated.

Hi Rams,
U have to create a dynamic variant for this.
Fallow these steps.
1. Fill all the selection screen values including date(Current date).
2. Save it as variant(ctrl+S), give variant name and description.
3. In the same screen u can see some check boxes corrosponding to each selection screen parameter.
Now for the date field select the check box under
L Selection variable and then press the push button selection variables in the tool bar.
4. Now u will get the date range in the next screen.
5. Here press the yellow light under D, it will become green colour.
5. Next press drop down(Small arrow pointing down at the end of date)
6. Now u will get a list of options for calculations.
7. Here select current date.
8. Now save the variant.
This completes setting up of dynamic variant.
Now when ever u select this variant it will populate the selection screen with current date and remaining fields with the data u save while creating the variant.
Hope this will solve ur problem.
Thanks,
Vinod.

As you suggested due to hardcoded values here , we could not able to do much on this.
So i came in round away solution. Whenever program A called ( program with TIME selection input) i have called another custom program C . (This custom program will using the following function module RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS, and RS_VARIANT_CHANGE , So get the DEFAULT variant content of program A and change the variant content with LOW as current time - 30 and HIGH with 24:59:59) as preceding job.
In PI 7.01 system program A always called in JOB mode
Thanks for info.

Selection screen variant for report

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
Anil

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,

ALE Error + Mass deletion of variants for Reports

Hi,
I have two questions
1- is there any transaction in SAP, which delete the mass variants for reports for all users?
2- I am getting an error An Idoc without a message type was passed to the ALE layer.
I have already check file port is set up correctly and I am passing message type HROT_BRM.
This also happen in previous test, as user does not have the proper authorization, so I assign the authorization and ran it. It worked.
However, this time a user has the authorization and still the error messaging is coming. Am I missing something?

There are some function modules like "KYVA_REPORT_VARIANTS_DELETE or get user variants "RM_GET_VARIANTS_4_REPORT_USER".

Setting Default Variant for Report Trans

Hi All,
Is there a way to set a default Variant to a reporting transaction? for example for ME2N how do I set a default Variant to be imported to the selection screen automatically once the report transaction is called?
This is useful if the user uses the same variant all the time.
Thanks in advance!

Pls try the below example
I give you one example,
Enter t-code ME2N, Then click on Dynamic field selection button.
Then double click on created by field enter enter any user id in it.
Then click on save button.After click on this screen your can see one other screen for variant.
Here you have to assign variant name and meaning. You can also change field status for report with help of this screen.
Before click on save button, tick on protect check box button and then click on save.
Then exit from transaction and enter ME2N.
Click on Get variant button. Here you can see list of variant, select your variant and get report as per your requirement.

How to set a dynamic variant for date in select-options in the upper field

Hi Variant experts Good Evening!
I have the following problem while setting up a dynamic varinat .
Ex: select-options: dat for sy-datum.
I am able to save the lower limit as a dynamic value but not able to save the upper values as dynamic in the select-options. Could any of you please help me in this.
Regards
Ravi.

i hope dynamic variant concept is not there,
but u can use the fn module DYPRO_GET_VALUES and
DYNPRO_SET_VALUES
DYNPRO_GET_VALUES gets the values in the screen,
DYNPRO_SET VALUES sets the values.
first get the values, compare and set the values as u want

Dynamic variant for select option High value

Hi ,
Please help me in creating dynamic variable for a select option date field high value.
II tried the following method:
1. Enter the values in the selection screen
2. Save the variant using the SAVE button
3. In the next screen for the date variable select the 'Selection variable' checkbox (L) and click on the button 'Selection variable' in the toolbar.
4. Now you will see this variable in the next screen with 3 types of buttons. Click on the middle button (i.e. D - Dynamic date calculation).
5. Click on the down arrow button and select the option 'Current Date'.
5. Save the variant.
But it is saving the date value in Field LOW of select option( From value).
I need it in TO field( High value).
Please help.
regards,
Sheeba

Hi Sheeba
we can do it other way .. Select the same steps as you have done but after the assigning the value current date to low ..click on the selection option push button at the application bar and choose the 'less than or equal to' option to your select option value and try the same ....
I guess this would throw you same results as that of the value in the high value button
Cheers,

Dynamic Variant for Date Range

Making the Variant for Date or Date Range Dynamic in the Selection Screen of any Program.
There are actually many ways you can make the Variant for Dateu2019s Dynamic.
1.     Providing he Values in the Variant Variables.
2.     By creating the variables in the table TVARVC
3.     By Initializing the values in the program itself.
I saw many posts with respect to these and found that everyone has their own way of dealing. Even I wrote code in the program initialization to get this done.
Here in this post I am showing you the easiest option which is available in the Variant creation.
EX : If you want to execute the batch job based on a date range.
     SY-DATE u2013 60 days , that means always your program should execute the batch job based on System Date. And the variant should change accordingly.
Following are the step by stop to do that.
1. Select your program and select the Variant Radio button and then Click on Display.
2. It will pop up a screen with variant option below the program name.
3. Enter the Variant name and click on Create
4. You will see a screen, with the Attributes button.
5. Once you click on the Attributes button, it will take you a screen with selection option.
6. In my scenario my input is based on Calender Day, so select the Selection Variable for Calender Day: You will find 2 options T & D.
7. Select D: Dynamic date Calculation, then select the Name of Variable (input using f4). You can find many options.
8. Scroll down the Variant Attributes and select current date u2013 xxx, current date + yyy
9.Though it seems to be inactive, just double click on the row to provide the date range.
10. Just enter the value for xxx and yyy to get you dynamic range based on number of days
11. In my scenario I have to consider System Date u2013 60 days. 0 means current day.
12. Click on OK to check the range has been reflected or not. Then save the Variant and check the value by executing the program with saved Variant.
You can check the same in blog with all the screen shots attached but this thing is so easy you don't require screen shots.

Dynamic variants for a background job

Hi,
I need to set up a background job for a dynamic variant. To elaborate my selection screen has date ranges which need to change dynamically , if the job is secheduled on weekly basis the selection date range should change automatically in the variant. I got to know that the same is possible through the table TVARV. Can I know about the method of setting up the same?
Thanks,
Shailaja

You can set a dynamic date to today date or some other date without using the table TVARV.
To set the dynamic date:
Save variant on the selection screen.
In the vairant screen, press F4 against your field in the column "Selection Variable"
Select D here.
In the column Name of the variable, press F4 to have the list of the possible rules.
Here you can select "Current date - xxx,current date + yyy" if you want to have certain period.
When you select this system will pop up to put the values for XXX and YYY.
Say for last 7 days, you can set the values XXX as 7 and YYY as0.
But the best way is to change the program, if possible, and fill the select option in the intialization event.
