CALL TRANSACTION or SUBMIT

Question

Hi guys,
I have a problem with calling a program(or transaction code).
I want to call a program with a variant by "CALL TRANSACTION" or "SUBMIT".
I checked that "SUBMIT" is possible by using "SELECTION-SET" but I can't use it because it doesn't allow calling a program with a variable which has the program name like below.
'SUBMIT gv_program SELECTION-SET gv_variant.'
Is there a solution for this?
Thanks.

No, it is not possible to call a program/transaction using a variable in place of program name.
As SUBMIT statement executes a report. Can only execute reports of type '1'.And the  ways that it could be used are :-
*Code used to execute a report
SUBMIT Zreport.
*Code used to populate 'select-options' & execute report
SUBMIT zreport with selection-table seltab
                 via selection-screen.
*Code used to populate 'parameters' & execute report
SUBMIT zreport with p_param1 = 'value'
                with p_param2 = 'value'.
*Submit report and return to current program afterwards
SUBMIT zreport AND RETURN.
*Submit report via its own selection screen
SUBMIT zreport VIA SELECTION-SCREEN.
*Submit report using selection screen variant
SUBMIT zreport USING SELECTION-SET 'VARIANT1'.
*Submit report but export resultant list to memory, rather than
*it being displayed on screen
SUBMIT zreport EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY.
And CALL TRANSACTION statement calls the transaction whose transaction code is contained in data object ta.
CALL TRANSACTION ta
{ [AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN]  ---- suppresses the display of a screen of the initial dynpro
| [USING bdc_tab [bdc_options]] }. -----  enables the transaction to be executed using a batch input table. This requires an internal table bdc_tab of row type BDCDATA to be passed from ABAP Dictionary to a dialog transaction
Wish this helps you...
