Add a dinamic variant in an ABAP program

Hi all,
I want to run an ABAP program in a process chain. The problem is that the input parameters should be dynamic. When you run the program you have to put one date.
When you ran the process chain you have to put one day before today in the record. The problem is that I cant add a ABAP program in the variant. I would like to use this program several times, so in each case the input parameters is different (not always the days before)
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Pablo,
Goto perticular ABAP program and provide varian name and click on Variant Attributes -->> Selection variables -->> and click on tranfic lights for D(Dynamic Date Calculation).
Here you change values dynamically for Date variables only.
Hope it Helps

From which table could i get all the Variants of a ABAP program?

Hi,
From which table could i get all the Variants name which belong to a specific ABAP program?
Thanks.

Hi Hoo,
You can get the variants of a ABAB Program from table <b>VARID</b>. Give the report name to the VARID-REPORT field and you will the list of variants for this report under field VARID-VARIANT and VARID-ENAME is the user who created the variant.
Otherwise, You can use the function module RM_GET_VARIANTS_4_REPORT_USER to get the variants of a report
Thanks,

Variant Issue in Abap Program

I came across this strange issue with Variants: Please let me know if anyone has come cross this issue.
Issue: I select a variant for a Zreport which has email address in the selection screen. Now i select another variant in which there is no email address but still i see the email address. basically the first variant value is being passed when i select the second variant.
Code:
SELECTION-SCREEN : BEGIN OF BLOCK em WITH FRAME TITLE text-307.
PARAMETERS: p_send TYPE char1 AS CHECKBOX DEFAULT ''.
SELECT-OPTIONS :s_emails FOR somlreci1-receiver NO INTERVALS.
SELECTION-SCREEN : END OF BLOCK em.

Hi Vasudev,
I have not seen any issue like that before,
Try creating the variant again,
Step1: enter an email address and then save
Step2: name the variant as var1 and then save
Step3: now remove the email address and then save
Step4: name the variant as var2 and then save.
Step5: refresh by /n followed by the T code
Step6: try it out now with both the variants
Revert for further clarification
Thanks

Abap program variant error in process chain

Hi experts,
I need your help one more time...
In our process chain, we run the program RSIMPCUST to bring currency and units from the source system to BW. We have created a variant to run this program and call it in the process chain. One of the variant's parameter is the logical system, which was configured as our DEV system.
When we transport this process chain to QA and run it, the variant continues to refer the DEV logical system, and not the QA logical system as it should.
any ideas?
Thanks!
Thiago Braga

Values in variants are not converted. You can use the same variant in your ABAP program, but you need to change the value in the parameter for logical system in each system you transport the change to. The only alternative is to create a logical system name in SM59 that is the same in all your BW systems but it refers to the local R/3 system.
In other words, you will have two logical systems in your BWD system pointing to your R/3 Dev. Let's call them R3DCLNT100 and R3SYSTEM, where R3DCLNT100 is also the source system (in RSA1). You can use R3SYSTEM in your variant for your ABAP program. In your BWQ (test system), you will have two logical systems also, R3QCLNT100 and R3SYSTEM, where R3QCLNT100 is also your source system.
Does this help.

Delete ABAP Program Variant

Hi,
Is there a way to block users from deleting the variants in an ABAP program?
The PROTECTED flag only protects against any changes...but allows deletion..strange!!!!

WD Service Call ABAP program generation error in 2004s

Hi,
I create a 'service call' by using the wizard and I select my existing 'component controller' as a controller. The service type I use is a (custom) function module. The function module has 1 import parameter, an export structure and 6 tables.
In the 'adapt context' step I choose all fields and structures to be stored in the context. Then I generate the code.
After generating the code there is a syntax error in the code of the created method. The method code under comment 'store output to context' binds the rfc structure to the context BUT it seems to think that it is a table instead of a structure.
the code:
node_Contract->bind_Structure(Stru_C_Contract[] )
Of course I can remove the '[]' signs manually but I think it is strange that the wizard produces wrong code.
Please let me know if this is a bug or something else.

Values in variants are not converted. You can use the same variant in your ABAP program, but you need to change the value in the parameter for logical system in each system you transport the change to.

How to I insert ABAP Programs in Process Chain ?

Hi mates,
I need to know how exactly in a Process Chain can I start a ABAP Program ?
For Instance, if X happens the go and execute this program it not execute Y program ?
Kindly advice

Hi,
Yes you can definitely insert an ABAP program process in a PC.
You can include a ABAP Process which is available in the Processes under PC. And it asks for a Variant and ABAP report name.
You need to create a Variant for the ABAP program.
This will also have a Output, like if in case the variants are correct and the Program logic is matched then in that case the output is given else not given. Which turns the process GREEN / RED accordingly.
Hope this helps,

Re: Trigger an ABAP program in R/3 by a process chain in BW

This is regarding a previous thread of mine. The basic idea is to trigger an ABAP program in R/3 by a process chain in BW.
1. I created an ABAP program ( lets say P1) in BW ( using SE38 ), and included the code:
CALL FUNCTION 'BP_EVENT_RAISE'
EXPORTING
eventid = 'Y21608_CCNA3PVAR_START'.
There is no variant for the ABAP program.
2. Now, I dragged the process type ABAP code in my process chain, created a variant and gave this program P1 there.
3. I have already created an event in R/3 with the name 'Y21608_CCNA3PVAR_START' ( using SM62 ) and created a job with schedule 'after event', which starts the ABAP programin R/3.
Question: In the process chain, the process is going to the ABAP program but nothing is happening. What more do i include in the ABAP program? And how does this program trigger an event in R/3? Can i use BP_EVENT_RAISE or RSSM_EVENT_RAISE??
Please advise.

Edwin, are we calling a FM which exists in BW or are we calling an FM which exists in R/3 ?
I thought, that the FM used should be in BW but it will trigger an event which has been created in R/3. Is this right? And where in the ABAP prgram can i specify the destination? How do i write this?
Sorry if iam asking u to do the entire job for me:-)

Abap program to maintain variants in RSRPARAMETRIZA

Hi,
SAP provided an ABAP example to maintain 3.5 variants in NW04s
Report Z_MASS_VARIANT_MAINTENANCE is available in the next u2018how tou2019 document.
[http://www.sapadvisors.com/resources/HowtoInformationBroadcasting.pdf]
This is only helpfull if you use 3.5 workbooks.
7.0 workbook variants are not save in RSRVARIANT anymore. 7.0 variants are saved in table-field RSRPARAMETRIZA-STRING (xml field with selection values).
I need to develop a program to maintain this variants. Can anybody save me some time and send me similar abap program for 7.0 workbooks ?
Thanks,
Pedro

Hi,
Bruno is right about class CL_RSR_PARA.
This is an abap example is used to maintain 'ZRT_M4M_Q0016' Query variants. In this case variant BC_SALST001 is updated.
If you need to update different report variant you have to change the 'form create_variant'.

How to create a job thru ABAP program for calling a program with variant???

Hello experts,
can u give me step wise procedure to create jobs for a program with a variant name thru ABAP???
Also, can a transaction can be scheduled as a job to run in background with a variant name???
Edited by: SAP USER on Jul 22, 2008 6:08 AM

Hi,
To create a job through ABAP program you can do the following.
Go to Menu bar.
In there, go to SYTSTEM> SERVICES> JOBS--> DEFINE JOB.
Then give the JOB NAME and CLASS in the screen that comes up.
This is how we schedule a program.
Now, to create a variant for a program -
First activate your program in SE38. Then execute it .
Now, click on SAVE button. It will open up the variant creation screen. Give the details there like variant name and value for the fields. Save and come back.
Hope this helps.

Using OLE add Header to MS Word Document in ABAP Program

Dear Friends,
I have a requirement where I want to add Header and Footer to MS Word through OLE in ABAP Program
I am able to open the word document, through OLE,
I am stuck @ the following step.
CALL METHOD OF LO_APPLICATION 'ActiveDocument' = LO_DOCUMENT.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.     EXIT.   ENDIF.
CALL METHOD OF LO_DOCUMENT 'Sections' = LO_SECTIONS.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.     EXIT.   ENDIF.
Please let me know.
Thanks
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
You have to use GET PROPERTY & SET PROPERTY attributes of OLE2_OBJECT to use headers.
Just a sample code snippet for your reference :-
DATA : GS_TABLE TYPE OLE2_OBJECT ,
      GS_RANGE TYPE OLE2_OBJECT,
     GS_CELLTYPE OLE2_OBJECT,
CALL METHOD OF GS_TABLE 'Cell' = gs_cell
   EXPORTING #1 = '1'
                     #2 = '1'.
   GET PROPERTY OF gs_cell 'Range' = gs_range.
   SET PROPERTY OF gs_range 'Text' = 'VGUID'.
   CALL METHOD OF gs_table 'Cell' = gs_cell
   EXPORTING #1 = '1'
                     #2 = '2'.
For more details search on SCN for code on creating MS word document using OLE automation.

Abhii

ABAP program to take input parameter from variant, execute KSB1 and export

Hi Friends,
My client asking change request in CO
The Change request is "ABAP program to take input parameter from variant, execute KSB1 and export the output into an excel sheet and park the document in a designated location"
Pls let me know actually i am a FICO consultant what i can do in this change request
Thanks,
Santi

Hi
First I dont you would need to create a ABAP to generate the report in Excel.
You can look at this option. Execute the report Go to->Change Layout, Click on the view option, On the Preferred View Select Microsoft Excel, Save the layout, provide a layout name with /XYZ.
Now when you want to execute KSB1 with excel, just execute KSB1 with /XYZ layout, it would open in Excel, export to which ever location you want.
Or just simply save the report as Excel using the Excel button on the tool bar.

Suraj
