MINI_JOB_WIZARD & Dynamic variants

Does anyone know how to create variants dynamically?
On the selection screen of a report I am using a button to call the MINI_JOB_WIZARD to schedule a background job. Input to this function module is a program name and a variant. I dont want the user to be saving the variants and then schedule the background jobs, I just want the user to enter the selection conditions and schedule the job.
Similar to the SAP functionality of menu path Program --> Execute in Background (F9).
The SAP standard functionality of "Execute in Background" apparently creates a variant dynamically based on the users input in selection screen and schedules a background jobs using that dynamically created variant. These variants are look something like "&0000000001234."
I want to use the MINI_JOB_WIZARD function module because its functionality looks much better than the "Execute in Background." Simply, its a lot more user friendly.
Does anyone know of a better way of using the MINI_JOB_WIZARD function module?
Thanks,
Sumit

Using dynamic variants in ABAP

Hi,
I have an issue. I want to use dynamic variants in my program. On the selection screen of my program, I have a parameter called Planning date which takes in the current week of the year as input value, i.e lets say today we are Monday 14th of May 2007, so the current week is 20. I want to make this parameter dynamic, i.e to change automatically so that next week the value is week 21.
Also is setting dynamic variants version dependent? My version is 5.0 SR1 and I don't have the option of save my variant using the 'D' traffic signal.
Please help me out.
Thanks

Hi,
you can fill your parameter in the initialization event of your report. In order to get the week you can use the function DATE_GET_WEEK.

How to create a multipage PDF with same template but dynamically varying data?

Hello,
I need to create a multi-page PDF where I need to use the same template but dynamically varying data.
Eg Scenario:
1. I have data for 5 material in my ABAP program.
2. I have a PDF template in SFP which has a 2 page structure.
3. Based on the number of materials (5 in this case), I need to generate a PDF which will have 10 pages (2 for each material).
4. the generated PDF should be like the one shown below:
e.g. MATERIAL_PDF (pdf name)
      | Page1(Mat1[View1].data)
      | Page2(Mat1[View2].data)
      | Page3(Mat2[View1].data)
      | Page4(Mat2[View2].data)
      | Page5(Mat3[View1].data)
      | Page6(Mat3[View2].data)
         .. and so on...
Thanks,
Aniket

Isn't it just by setting the two pages into a form ( like an subform in the content ) and put the settings in a proper way?
There is this setting, that the masterpage comes up everytime the pagecount is done.
Example
Page 1 3 5 --> Masterpage 1
Page 2 4 6 --> Masterpage 2
And the designview with the flowing data, you can do it by scripting to get to the next page after the pos is finished.
Unfortunaly I do not got a system atm, so I hope the explaination give you a clue, where to search.

How to set a dynamic variant for date in select-options in the upper field

Hi Variant experts Good Evening!
I have the following problem while setting up a dynamic varinat .
Ex: select-options: dat for sy-datum.
I am able to save the lower limit as a dynamic value but not able to save the upper values as dynamic in the select-options. Could any of you please help me in this.
Regards
Ravi.

i hope dynamic variant concept is not there,
but u can use the fn module DYPRO_GET_VALUES and
DYNPRO_SET_VALUES
DYNPRO_GET_VALUES gets the values in the screen,
DYNPRO_SET VALUES sets the values.
first get the values, compare and set the values as u want

Dynamic Variant in ECC 6.0

Hi All,
Can any one tell me how to create a dynamic variant in ECC 6.0 for a exicutable program? In ECC 5.0 its easy to create but in ECC 6.0 the varinat creation screen has been changed.
Thanks
Manas

it's buried in there
this thread may help if you need to define custom variables
Re: CASH SALES
you'll see it under the variant attributes screen. i know people get reluctant to choose something from a grayed out field but you will be able to choose a selection variable and then the name of the variable
so for a date field you could choose say D and Previous Month

Dynamic variant at job - selection options

Hi Experts,
Could any of You pls help me to find out the original selection for a job, if the selection variant was not saved previously?
There are a couple of user report, which could be run at the background with an ad-hoc selection variant, such as RM07DOCS (MB51). Here the user could set the actual selection and run the report at background by creating a job. But in this job the selection variant has a dinamic identification code such as &0000000000001.
After the job is set, run and have a result, I could find no way to check what had been the original selection represented by this varian code.
Is there a way to find out what was the selection for the job, if I only have a dynamic variant parameter?
Answers will be appreciated

thanq.
and pls. let me further clarify that,
programitically am populating the date as current date minus 1 in the field of my_date in the selection screen.
now, they wanna to run the report in back ground, daily.
now, I followed ur tip/link and saved with_date_variant, fine.
so, pls. let me know that,
1) if the report runs in back ground tomorrow with with_date_variant(which is i created by seeing ur link), Is the selection screen my_date(prog. populates as June 5th) will be override with current date(i.e. June 6th)?
In broad, Is the selection criteria wuld be over writes with the Dynamic varints?
thanq

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

Dynamic variant

hi all,
i created a report and that report has to be execute in back ground daily with variant,but my report contains some date field, so i need to change the date value in that varient,how can i do it.How can i create dynamic variant,could you please help me.
regards,
Bujji.

Hi Murali,
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.
Cheers
