Creating dynamic variant on Period field in transaction MC$4

Hi,
I would like to create dynamic variant for field 'period' on the selection screen of tcode : MC$4.
I would like to create a variant for the logic: current period - 12 months.
I am able to do this on the date field in the variant as its defined using data element datum. Thus it allows me calculation.
But the period filed in the sel. screen has NUMC type so not able to do any dynamic variants for this filed.
Please help if anyone has any info on this.
Helpful replies will be awarded.
Thanks,
Husain

Any inputs will be appreciated...

Creating dynamic variants to use them in shceduling a report

Hi Guys,
We have a program say (P1) to generate IDocs. I have to develop a new program (P2) which will schedule P1 in background. P1 and P2 are having some common selection screen fields along with the other fileds which are uncommon. Now I have to pass the common selection screen fields from P2 to P1 with the help of a variant in order to schedule P1 in background. In addition to selection screen fields of P1, I have to pass another field (char 1) from a table which is a part of selection screen of P1 and this field does not present in P2.
Note: All the selection screen fields may be initial both in P1 and P2 programs.
Can any one suggest me how solve this.
Thanks in advance.
Vijay.

You can create variables in TVARVC table for the common fields. Before submitting P2 from P1 populate these variables. In P2 create a variant which uses these variables from TVARVC table.
Hope this helps.
Reward points for all helpful answers.

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.

How do we create a variant for report which runs in the background?

Hi,
I want to create a report which will have some variants and will be running in the background?
The main intention is to transfer the data from one database into another. Please explain the step by step process.
Regards
Amit

Hi Amit,
When you run a report program in foregorund(If you have a selction-screen), by pressing F8 button, it takes you to the screen where when you press execute button, the report is executed.
In this screen, you can enter the requirec values which you wish to store in the variables in the selection-screen and press SAVE button, then a variant will be created. You can create the required variants for your report and then when executing the same report in background, the process goes in this way,
Go to SE38->Program-> Execute->Background, there you can give the variant name and press EXECUTE IMMEDIATELY and your program runs in background for the given variant.
Hope this is helpful to you. If you need further information, revert back.
Reward all the helpful answers.

Now my problem is I have one parameter 'filename' on selection screen which is of 255 characters lenth , but the internal table loc_int_tab in above function modules can hold up to 45 characters only. But I want to store all the 255 characters in it.
Have you ever comeacross with this problem"
Or do we have any other function modules which will sove the purpose.
Thanks in advance,
Brahma Reddy

split the file path lenghth into diffrent lines ,
say each line has 45 charcters
use fm split the lines into number of charcter
fm is SWA_SPLIT_STRING - here pass ur file path ,length 45 and internal table
internal table output will have diffrent lines,other program is going to concatenate all the lines into one line.

Dynamic variant date range

Hi experts,
i need to create dynamic variant for date range (so_date-low, so_date-high): sy-datum-1.
that will bring the data in the report for yesterday.
How can i do this?
i know how can i make variant for so_date-low
i dont know how can i do that on so_date-high.
thanks,
Michal.

1. Execute the report and you will get your selection screen then press save
2. system will take u to variant screen , select the line of your date select-options field from the list and scroll right
3. double clik on "selection variable " column and select "D"
4. double clik on "Name of variable" last column and select "Current date - xxx,current date + yyy" system will provide you popup with "Enter a value xxx" and "Enter a value for yyy" and enter value 1 in xxx and 0 in yyy
and save the variant . now your S_DATE_LOW will be system date - 1 ie yesterdays date

You can do this in the variant itself.
Please follow these steps
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 (ie. D - Dynamic date calculation).
5. Click on the down arrow button and select the option 'Current Date'.
6. Save the variant.
Kindly assign points if this is helpful.

BEx Broadcasting through e-mail, using dynamic variant

Dear SAP Gurus,
I'm new to SAP-BI, I came across the following situation:
I've a query based on which the reports are being generated.
My client wants to broadcast it every month, as they don't have any portal, so it has to be done through e-mail.
the query has 3 system variable which are FISCALYEAR and CALDAY, i dont remember 3rd.
So, I've to create DYNAMIC VARIANT, I tried the following procedure but its not working.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/9075b11a-6e43-2c10-b7be-cfa0e97ec0cc?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
please help me.

Hi shivsam ,
1. What you need is dynamic filling the variant value.
2. In transaction SE38 enter the variant name
3.choose the attributes button.
4. Here you can set the field to u201Cselection variable.u201D
5.Then you can define something like SY-DATUM(4) for fiscal year and in the same way for calday SY-DATUM+6(2) .
Hope this will help .

Dynamic Variant creation

Hi Folks,
I have a requirement where-in i need to schedule report 1 in background from report 2.
Report 1 has a selection screen which contains one select-option and variant for the same is created.
Now i need to schedule report 1 in such a way so that the select-option that is created is automatically changed every time i have scheduled the report.
Please let me know how is it possible to create a variant for report 1 so that the select-option is changed every time i schedule the report.
Please note that report 2 will know the list of values to be used for select-option in report 1 (to be used for job scheduling).
Also if there is any other approach of tackling this problem then let me know.
Thanks,
Imran

Hi,
With selection variant you can start a report with fixed selection values again.
You need not use them for documentation. You are able to see the used selection screen in a job step.
For time/date selections often selection variables are very useful.
Perhaps in your case it would be a good idea to store the last selection value with each job start in a Z-table.

Walter
