Help needed on text variable.

Question

Hi experts,
I have to write a report that requires text variable.
My scenario is as follows:
1. User have to key in posting period into variable 0P_PER3.
2. The text variable has to translate posting period into calendar month. However, since I am not using K4 fiscal year variant, this cannot be done directly. I use V3 fiscal year variant, which means:
Posting Period 01 = April
Posting Period 02 = May
Posting Period 03 = June
Posting Period 04 = July
Posting Period 05 = August
Posting Period 06 = September
Posting Period 07 = October
Posting Period 12 = March.
So, let say the user key in posting period 12; in my report, the text variable must displays 'March'.
Is there any standard variable that I can use to achieve above goal? If not, how can I create such a variable?
Many thanks!

Hi,
first of all you create 12 customer exit text variable.
then go to SMOD tcode.
give RSR00001 as project name
select component and click on display.
then double click on EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001
then double click on zxrsru01 include.
in the code window write down below code for each of your text variable.
case i_vname.
    when 'YOURFIRSTTEXTVARIABLENAME'.
        if i_step = 2.
          read table i_t_var_range into loc_var_range
          with key vnam = 'YOURPERIODVARIABLENAME'.
          case loc_var_range-low+58(2).
            when '01'.
              l_s_range-low = 'YOURMONTHNAME'. "e.g. March
             when '02'.
like this write for 12 periods.
          endcase.
          l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
          l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.       
        endif.
hope this helps.
