Selection Screen Change & Impact on background scheduled reports

Hi,
I have modified the selection screen of a report program by adding additional selection criteria. This report is background scheduled and runs several times with different variants in a day. I am worried that the background jobs may fail in Production if the latest changes are moved. But I think, background jobs will not fails unless the selection criteria that are part of variants that used in the background jobs not modified. But not sure. I just want to make sure, I am doing correct thing.
Please let me know your thoughts. Appreciate your help!
Thanks,
Kannan.

I don't think so.
But of course you will have to update the variants to reflect the new selections.

    Hi,
    We can get the Program whether this is running in background or not then we need to use SY-BATCH, if the SY-BATCH is set to X then the program is running in Background,
    so in the INITIALIZATION event, you can use this SY-BATCH and check the User names, and give the error messsage which you want to restrict

  • Customize selection screen of logical database AFI of report RIAUFK20 ?

    Hi Experts,
    I have to customize the report RIAUFK20 which use logical database AFI.
    I have to do the following:
    - Change the field labels of some fields in the selection screen.
    - Add more field into selection screen which does not appear in the nodes of logical database structure, for example TIDNR in table EQUZ.
    So what is the best way to achieve that result?
    I intended to copy the AFI into ZAFI and change, but still struggle with add fields which does not appear in the structure of logical database.
    Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    Specify your logical database on Program "attributes".
    It will display the standard selection screen of LDB. Now in your report, create selection screen as in other programs for the additional fields.
    It will first display the field of LDB, followed by fields provided by your selection screen.

  • LDB selection screen Change

    hi i have a unusual requirement
    Presently in one of my HR reports I am using 'PCH' LDB.
    In the selection screen we have the object ID which is defined in standard program with no-intervals like this.
    SELECT-OPTIONS:
    PCHOBJID FOR OBJEC-OBJID VALUE-REQUEST              "ObjektId
                             MODIF ID $OB NO INTERVALS.
    Now in my program I want to have it as regular select option. Can we change this in anyway.
    I was able to modify the rest of the fields by using AT-SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT EVENT.
    Please help me with this, points guaranteed

    Hi rhaul,
    1. I don't  we can directly do as per ur requirement.
    2. Bcos No-Intervals cannot be modified using Loop at screen.
    3. Another option is to copy the standard Ldb and use it.

  • Display key in the selection screen and Key & Text in the report

    Hi,
    For the infoobject in the query,
    In the variable selection screen When i want to select any value it should display only key, and in the report i want to display key and text of that infoobject.
    Is it possible?
    Thanks
    Rani

    Hi
    Display As
    Here you determine whether and in what format the individual characteristic values of the characteristic are presented:
    ·        (Standard): The standard display type for characteristic values corresponds to the setting in InfoObject maintenance under Tab Page: Business Explorer.
    ·        No Display: The characteristic display is hidden. This function is useful, for example, with the currency/unit characteristic as the currencies are also shown in the key figures.
    ·        Key and Text: The characteristic values are displayed by their technical key and text.
    ·        Text: The characteristic values are displayed by their text.
    ·        Key: The characteristic values are displayed by their technical key.
    ·        Text and Key: The characteristic values are displayed by their text and technical key.
    In the dropdown box below, you can select the type of text you want to use if you set a display type that contains text. The following options are available:
    ·        Standard: The shortest available text for the characteristic values is used as the text.
    ·        Short text: The short text for the characteristic values is used as the text.
    ·        Long text: The long text for the characteristic values is used as the text.
    ·        Medium text: The medium text for the characteristic values is used as the text.

  • Selection screen change

    hallow
    i wonder  if i can change the block in selection screen, size & location in the program.
    regards
    this is my block
    <b>SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK b2 WITH FRAME TITLE text-t02.</b>
    SELECT-OPTIONS c_course FOR z_course_table-objid
    OBLIGATORY NO INTERVALS NO-EXTENSION.

    The size of the block is directly related to the number of fields you defin within.  So if you would turn certain ones off during runtime, the height of the box would changed.  As for the location,  you can't change this.

  • Tecra M2 - screen changes to pink background

    Hi - this is my first message and I would appreciate some guidance.
    Sometimes when I switch the notebook on, and other times in the middle of working, the white background on the screen changes to pink. The screen then looks blurred although everything else seems to be working OK.
    I tried tapping near the hinge, which seemed to correct the colour on one occasion.
    Do I need to return my M2 to an authorised service provider?
    Many thanks.

    You do need to return the unit to your ASP for assistance, but from the sounds of it you have a loose cable flat which connects your display to your motherboard. A job that takes all of 15 minutes to fix. Should not be an issue for your ASP to fix it up real fast.

  • Change variant for background scheduled jobs

    Hi experts,
    I want to schedule the report RKO7KO8G in background.
    Two of the selection parameters of this report are Settlement period & Settlement year.
    This report should be executed in the background every month. For this the period parameter should change every month
    , like for example when the report executes in background in May then period should be 05, June - period should be 06
    and so on.
    i.e. the variant should change.
    For this how do i create a dynamic variant. I tried to create dynamic variant but it says that the parameter
    should be a date field. However, the settlement period field over has input from 001 to 999 & not date field.
    I want to schedule this report in background on a monthly basis and change its input parameter Settlement period
    as per the month.
    Please suggest.
