How to call variant

Hi,
In my selectin screen i have variable like Fiscal year. that fiscal year need to pick up year from one perticular table. so how can i create a variant for that and give link between my selection screen and table.

hi,
you can create a variant with type "custom exit" and use transaction code CMOD to program the logic for the variant you create. Hope it helps.

How to call a transaction with a variant

Hi all
I created a bdc program after updating it should call another transaction with predefined variant that that transaction program is of type module pool.
can anyone tell me the syntax how to call a transaction with a variant.

Hi
goto Tcode SHD0
enter the Tcode for which Tran Variant has to be created(dialog Tcode)
enter Trans variant to be created
press create button
it will go through all the screens of that Tcode and save
and modify the fields as per requirement
we can create Transaction Variants Using SHD0 Transaction.
Transaction Variants and Screen Variants
Transaction variants can simplify transaction runs as they allow you to:
Preassign values to fields
Hide and change the 'ready for input' status of fields
Hide and change table control column attributes
Hide menu functions
Hide entire screens
In particular, hiding fields in connection with screen compression, and hiding screens, can result in greater clarity and simplicity.
Transaction variants are made up of a sequence of screen variants. The field values and field attributes for the individual screens found in transaction variants are stored in screen variants. Each of these variants is assigned to a specific transaction, can, however, also contain values for screens in other transactions if this is required by transaction flow. The transaction that the variant is assigned to serves as initial transaction when the variant is called.
There are both client-specific and cross-client transaction variants. All screen variants are cross-client, but may be assigned to a client-specific transaction variant.
A namespace exists for cross-client transaction variants and screen variants and both are automatically attached to the Transport Organizer. Client-specific transaction variants must be transported manually.
In principle, transaction and screen variants can be created for all dialog and reporting transactions. There are, however, certain Restrictions that apply to certain transactions, depending on their internal structure.
No transaction variants are possible with transactions already containing preset parameters (parameter transactions and variant transactions).

How to create variant for table/view ?

Hi,
When I go through SM30, I find a radio button called variant. I don't know the effect.
Can anyone tell me how to create variant for table / view ?
I want to know when we need to create variant for table/view.
Best regards,
Chris Gu

hi ,
Whenever you start a program in which selection screens are defined, the system displays a set of input fields for database-specific and program-specific selections. To select a certain set of data, you enter an appropriate range of values.
For further information about selection screens, refer to Selection Screens in the ABAP User's Guide.
If you often run the same program with the same set of selections (for example, to create a monthly statistical report), you can save the values in a selection set called a variant
Procedure
To create a new variant:
       1.      On the ABAP Editor initial screen, enter the name of the program for which you want to create a variant, select Variants, and choose Change.
       2.      On the variant maintenance initial screen, enter the name of the variant to be created.
Note the naming convention for variants (see below).
       3.      Choose Create.
If the program has more than one selection screen, a dialog box for screen assignment appears. The dialog box does not appear if the program only has one selection screen. The selection screen appears in this case.
       4.      If there is more than one selection screen, select the screens for which you want to create the variant
5.      Choose Continue.
The (first) selection screen for the report appears.
If your program has more than one selection screen, use the scroll buttons in the left-hand corner of the application toolbar to navigate between them and to fill the fields with values. If you keep scrolling forwards, the Continue button appears on the last selection screen.
       6.      Enter the desired selection values, including multiple selection and dynamic selection.
       7.      Choose Continue.

How to call *.C file in LV

Well, considering the functionality you implement it would be about 1000% easier to implement that directly in LabVIEW. This is in fact a statement that is true for many programming problems although the amount of advantage you get will vary a bit.
If you insist on using your C file approach you will have to find a C compiler that can create a DLL from that C file. This will likely require you to study a bit about DLLs and how to create them in your C compiler. And then some more studies about how to call a DLL from LabVIEW using the Call Library Node.
But implementation of C code to be used in LabVIEW has only two really good reasons.
1) If you already have the entire C code available and want to reuse it as library in LabVIEW. Rewriting everything in LabVIEW is in that case often not a feasable option.
2) If you need to do low level stuff like calling into system APIs, calling device drivers, or doing general low level stuff that requires a lot of bit shuffling such as compression/decompression or encryption/decryption algorithmes.

How to declare variant

Hi all
how to declare variant in the screen(not the selection screen) used in module programming

Hi Ganesh,
Check this info.
Variants
the link is
http://help.sap.com/search/highlightContent.jsp
Variants allow you to save sets of input values for programs that you often start with the same selections. You can use them for any programs except subroutine pools (type S).

Running a Program with a Variant
Variants: Overview
Use
Whenever you start a program in which selection screens are defined, the system displays a set of input fields for database-specific and program-specific selections. To select a certain set of data, you enter an appropriate range of values.
For further information about selection screens, see Working with selection screens in the ABAP User's Guide.
If you often run the same program with the same set of selections (for example, to create a monthly statistical report), you can save the values in a selection set called a variant.
You can create any number of variants for any program in which selection screens are defined. Variants are assigned exclusively to the program for which they were created.
You can also use variants to change the appearance of the selection screen by hiding selection criteria. This is particularly useful when you are working with large selection screens on which not all of the fields are relevant.
Reports, module pools, and function groups may have several selection screens. It is therefore possible to create a variant for more than one selection screen.
Variants are an interface between the user and the selection screen. They can be used both in dialog and in background mode, although their uses are slightly different.
Variants in Dialog Mode
In dialog mode, variants make things easier for the user, since they save him or her from continually having to enter identical values. They can also make the selection screen easier to read, because you can use them to hide input fields. Running an executable program with a variant containing an optimal set of values also reduces the capacity for user error. The optimized database selections speed up the runtime of the program.
Variants in Background Mode
Variants are the only method for passing values to a report program in a background job. Therefore, when you run a program in the background, you must use a variant (or SUBMIT... VIA JOB). To avoid you having to create a new variant each time you run the report, ABAP contains a mechanism allowing you to pass variable values to variants. See variable values in variants.
To ensure that an executable program is always started using a variant, you can specify in the program attributes that the program may only be started in this way.
Features
Creation of variants
Display, change, copy, print, and delete variants
Use and definition of variables in variants
Variable date calculation
User-specific fixed values
Fixed values in table TVARV
You access the variant maintenance tool from the initial screen of the ABAP Editor. Enter the name of the program, select Variants in the Sub-objects group box, and then choose Display or Change.
Functions
The above screen allows you to:
Create variants
Display the variant directory
Display and change values and attributes
Copy, delete, and rename variants
Before creating a new variant for a program, you should check whether you can use or adapt an existing variant instead.
There are two ways to display variants:
Position the cursor on the Variant field on the initial screen and press F4. The following dialog box lists all of the available variants:
Choose Variants ® Directory on the initial screen:
Creating Variants
Prerequisites
You must have defined one or more selection screens for the relevant program. The program may have any type except type S.
Procedure
On the initial screen of the ABAP Editor, enter the name of the program for which you want to create a variant, select Variants in the Sub-objects group box, and choose Change.
On the variant maintenance initial screen, enter the name of the variant you want to create.
Note the naming convention for variants (see below).
Choose Create.
If the program has more than one selection screen, a dialog box appears in which you can assign the variant to one or more screens. The dialog box does not appear if the program only has one selection screen. In this case, the selection screen of the program appears straight away.
If there is more than one selection screen, select the screens for which you want to create the variant.
Example:
If you choose Variant for all selection screens, the variant also applies to any selection screens that you create after creating the variant.
Otherwise, the variant only supplies values to the selection screens that you select in the list.
Choose Continue.
The (first) selection screen of the program appears.
If your program has more than one selection screen, use the scroll buttons in the left-hand corner of the application toolbar to navigate between them. If you keep scrolling forwards, the Continue button appears on the last selection screen.
Enter the required selections, including multiple and dynamic selections.
Choose Continue.
Result
When you have finished, an overview screen appears (ABAP: Save Attributes of Variant), on which you can enter the attributes of your variant and save it.
Note that when you create a new variant, you must enter both values and attributes.
Names of variants: Names can consist of up to 14 alphanumeric characters. The "% " character is not allowed. If you want the variant to be transported automatically with its program, you must create a system variant. The name of a system variant starts "CUS&" for customers, and "SAP&" for SAP system variants. You can only use the "&" character within this prefix in the name of a system variant. It may not occur in any other context. System variants are administered by the Workbench Organizer. Although you can create and access variants from any client, they are always stored in client "000".

How to call Subroutines,Standard Text & using Internal Table in SmartForm

Hi all,
need help in the following areas.Its very urgent!
1.How to CAll Subroutines in Smart Forms
2.How to CAll Standard Text in Smart Forms
Situation:
We have an Internal Table T_SALES with all the data which am going to display in the smartform,How to retrive data from an internal table in Smart forms
Any Help in this direction would be highly appreciated.
Regards
Ramu

Hi,
When you are using quantity or currency fields, you have to mentiong the reference fileds in a tab called CURRENCY/QUANTITY FILEDS in the GLOBAL DATA node.
Specifying a Currency or Quantity Reference
Use
In the ABAP Dictionary, you can assign a currency or quantity field to a table field. In the output of these fields, the system can then insert the relevant currency or unit:
·        If the value field is in the same table as the corresponding currency or quantity field, the system recognizes the reference automatically, and formats the value field according to the currency or unit in the assigned field.
·        If the value field is in a different table from the currency or quantity field, the system cannot recognize this reference automatically.
In the second case, you must indicate this reference to the system in the form, to ensure that the value field is formatted correctly.
Procedure
You want to assign a currency or quantity field in one table (for example, CURTAB) to a value field in another table (for example, VALTAB).
       1.      Create the reference to the currency field by entering the following values:
-         Field Name: VALTAB-VALUE, if this is the value field of VALTAB that you want to display.
-         Reference Field: CURTAB-CURRENCY, which is the currency field of CURTAB.
       2.      Under Data Type, specify whether the data type is a currency or quantity.
Result
In the output of the PDF-based print form, the system formats the value field VALTAB-VALUE according to the assigned value in the currency or quantity field of the global variable CURTAB-CURRENCY.
