Se16n screen varient

Question

I am implementing an ossnote 1082841.
In that i need to maintain entries in T139A table.
so went to se16n then entered the
values specified by the note.

pop up like "save iniitial screen varient".
In that varient should be entered and there is a check box
user-speciific .
and a short text also need to be entered.
so please tell me what this screen varient means,
and what data i need to enter in that.
now i am doing the changes in development.

Hi Shiva,
A screen variant means a sample set of test data with which you want to execute your program/screen. Once you have entered a sample set of data, give a screen variant name, some description and then save it.
Next time when you want to execute the program you can pick up the same variant and there is no need to enter all the screen data again. Also this variant is saved againt your userid, so if you want to see all the variants for a particular transaction, remove the userid and then execute to check for all the variants.
Hope this clarifies your doubt.
