Hi
Goto the selection screen of the report by executing the program.
Enter the value in the selection fields and click on Save
Here you can enter the variant name and description.
This will be visible as a variant the next time you come to the selection screen.
Hope this helps.

How to setup variants for webdynpro report in ABAP? Help!

Hi Experts,
I have a webdynpro for ABAP report with selection screen.
How to setup variants for webdynpro report in ABAP?
Thanks
Gopal

Hi Gopal,
There is no concept of Variant in Webdynpro ABAP. But in our project we have some tool to do that. Its not release to the client I think. In my scenarieo, We create the Screen variant and program name will be supplied to the tool that will generate the ouput in PDF and Selection screen in One view. But the same is not avilable .
If you want the same concept in Webdynpro ABAP, you need to go for Dynamic programming only. This is the only option is avilable.
Warm Regards,
Vijay

Hello Narendar,
Check the following link:

Also, a table control wizard in Screen Painter(SE51) exists, which takes you step by step through the Table Control generation and also creates code, so you can start using the Table Control right away.
You can either specify a database table, or use an internal table from program.
If you want to use internal table, it needs to be predefined in your program, before you start creating the table control.

so, due to this user interraction for saving that fm i can not use this .
If there is any other fm or any alternate then please reply

Hi Hari,
On set type maintenance screen (Txn COMM_ATTRSET), choose your set type and follow the menu path
Set type/ Attributes -> Transport -> Set type
On the next screen, select the set type table entry and press button 'Include in transport request'. This should give you a pop up where $TMP is defaulted as a package which you can change with your own package type.
That's it.

How to restrict the display of report variants

Hello All,
I want t know how to restrict the display of report variants.
I mean, when a user saves a variant for his/her purpuse on some report program, only he/she can refer the variant while other users cannot.
I know that by setting the attribute of the variant ("Protect Variant ", "Only Display in Catalog"), this would be possible, but I want to know another way, without this setting.
Thank you for your help in advance.

How to Save Multiple Variants for a Report at a time?

Hi Experts,
I have a report in one server and I have copied the same into another server.
And now I also have to copy the variants of that report.
There are totally 192 variants for the report. So, is there any easier way to copy all those variants for the new report that I have created, rather than re-creating the variants one-by-one manually.
Note:There is no connection to both the servers. So I cannot transport them.
Thanks in advance.

Basis can do a export and import transport, still if don't have connection between boxes.

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).

Variants: Overview

Attributes of Variants

Printing Variants

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 maintain Ztable using function module instead of SM30

Hi Friends,
please tell me , How to maintain Ztable or view using function module instead of SM30.
Thanks,
Veerendra.

Hi,
You can design your report and use Function module VIEW_MAINTENANCE_CALL for that.
You need to use Action type as 'S' for displaying and 'U' for maintaining the table.
Ex:
CALL FUNCTION 'VIEW_MAINTENANCE_CALL'
EXPORTING
    ACTION                               = 'S'
    VIEW_NAME                            = 'Table Name'
EXCEPTIONS
   CLIENT_REFERENCE                     = 1
   FOREIGN_LOCK                         = 2
   INVALID_ACTION                       = 3
   NO_CLIENTINDEPENDENT_AUTH            = 4
   NO_DATABASE_FUNCTION                 = 5
   NO_EDITOR_FUNCTION                   = 6
   NO_SHOW_AUTH                         = 7
   NO_TVDIR_ENTRY                       = 8
   NO_UPD_AUTH                          = 9
   ONLY_SHOW_ALLOWED                    = 10
   SYSTEM_FAILURE                       = 11
   UNKNOWN_FIELD_IN_DBA_SELLIST         = 12
   VIEW_NOT_FOUND                       = 13
