To display the selection screen variant name in WAD report output.

Hello experts,
I have a requirement which is to display the selection screen variant description in the output of the WAD report.
I managed halfway, by using the object "Information field", which displays all the values which are selected by the variant.
Example:I have created a cost center report created using WAD, since I need some graphical displays..
In the selection screen, I have the characteristic "cost center" as input field. I have created a variant " GM - IT" which will include few cost centers managed by GM. In the output, I want the dispaly to be "Cost center - GM IT". Currently it displays "Cost Center - a,b,c,d" as the values a,b,c,d are the values from the variant name "GM-IT"
Please let me know if this required any java script. I am not familiar with java / html codes and any help would be much appreciated (and rewarded)
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Try this.
If you want to include your variables in your WAD means you have to choose "Force Variable Screen" option to be in enabled condition.
TO enable this,in WAD select your Template(New Template1) click the WEBITEM , it'll shows all generic properties , here you can enable this "Force variable screen"
Save and execute your WAD now you can get your variable screen.
Thanks,

Selection Screen Variant (optionally default) -I dont think it's possible!?

I have spent a lot of time looking at this issue - researching forums/sap help/on the system - so any help appreciated...
On the selection screen (for tx me59n) is it actually possible for users to set a variant as default on the selection screen? It's actually that I want "Test Run" to be defaulted.
This is the ideal scenario:
- The selection criteria variant is created centrally (or even individually by the user)
- The user can then optionally set this variant as their default selection criteria for the transaction
- Next time the user runs the transaction, the defualt variant is used
What I do not want is:
- User having to select the variant each time they run the transaction
- The variant always being default (it should only be default when user decides they want it as such)
Any ideas? I can't see that it's possible....?
thanks in advance,
Matt

I've been trying SHD0 alot, but doesnt seem to work - again, i've spent time reading and trying it out but with no luck.
This is how I'm doing it to try to default "Test Run" checkbox for ME59n
- Run transaction SHD0
- Input "ZDefault" into Transaction Variant field
- Click create
- ME59n loads
- I tick "Test Run" (which is what I want defaulting for the transaction)
- Click save
- It prompts me to create screen variant
- I input ZTEST_VARIANT and click save
- I get a pop-up box which I enter ZTEST_VARIANT to name field but dont make any other changes
- Get message saying ZTEST_VARIANT saved
- Click back to Transaction Variant screen
- Save it as a local object
- Get message saying "Trans Variant and Screen Variant Saved"
- Click back to initial SHD0 screen
- Click TEST to try it out.
- ME59n loads, but "Test Run" is not checked - the variant appears not to have been loaded at all.
I run ME59n independently and still nothing seems to get loaded when I run the transaction. Although the new screen variant is availbale in the variant list, which if I select it it works perfectly. But I want make it default??? How do I do it?
Any ideas what i'm missing?
Usually I can figure these things out pretty quickly, but this one has me stumped!
thanks
Matt

Dynamic selection screen variant

Hi Gurus,
There are two parameters in the selection screen of a report. One for Date, whose format is ww.yyyy and purchasing organization. Both the fields are mandatory fields.
I have to create variants for this report in such a way that when user selects the variant, it should give current week in combination with year in Date parameter and Purchasing organization from the saved variant list.
Suppose there are two variants created with purchasing organizations 0001 and 0002, if i select 1st variant today then date should be 22.2007 and purchasing organization as 0001... if i select 1st variant in next week then date should be 23.2007 with purchasing organization 0001...
Thanks in Advance,
Phani.

Hi Sivapuram ,
I am not sure we can create a varaint where we have some processing involved .
What i would suggest is if you want this to be done for a specific varaint , then you will have to write the processing code in the at selection-screen output event .
This code must include the logic to calcuate the value as per your requirement , the code must be executed when the specific variant is loaded , the current varaint loaded in the system is stored in the system varaible sy-SLSET.
This is a solution which is very specific to a varaint and not a generic solution.

Arun

Selection screen variant for report

Hi,
Can we restrict the selection screen variants for reports by user? For example my report is ZREPORT. Different users can save variants for the report. When they choose a variant for executing the report, they would like to see only the variants they created.
By default SAP lists all variants created (irrespective of who created).
Thanks
Anil

Hi,
If you want the other users doesn't want to execute (Not see) other variant..you can check if that user has created the variant in the AT SELECTION-SCREEN event..
By checking VARI-VARIANT against the table VARID and check if sy-uname <> VARID-ENAME.
Thanks,

How to limit the creation of the selection screen variant

Hi,
I have a question concerning the selection screen variants. Is it possible to limit the number of variant created by users (in customizing, authorization..) ?
If, yes, can you please tell me the procedure to follow.
thanks for help.

Cannot be restricted during creation but you can do a program that reads the report's existing variants, delete some, or modify the variant's content, you can put that in the program itself so when executed, apply your validation, or a background job depending on your requirements.
You can do it with this function modules:
RS_ALL_VARIANTS_4_1_REPORT
RS_CHANGE_CREATED_VARIANT
RS_VARIANT_DELETE
Hope it helps

Dynamically generating selection screen variants

Hi,
I have a report for which i have to create a variant. This report will be executed in background. There is a parameter Planning Date on the selection screen of this report. The format of this date is week.year i.e., ww.yyyy. Week should change automatically based on the week it is executed. For example, lets suppose that the current planning date is 19.2007. When you execute this report in the next week, the date should be 20.2007.
Please suggest me on how to do this.
Best Regards,
Phani.

Hi,
Create two variants for the below program say VAR1 and VAR2.
For the variant VAR1 take the default values say 12 and 3.
and for VAR2 take the values 10 and 5.
Now execute the program by selecting the variants VAR1 and VAR2. You can see the difference.
when you select VAR1 the parameters can be seen in disable mode.
parameters: p_num1 type i default 12,
                  p_num2 type i default 3.
at selection-screen output.
if sy-slset = 'VAR1'.
loop at screen.
if screen-name = 'P_NUM1' or
     screen-name = 'P_NUM2'.
     screen-input = 0.
endif.
modify screen.
endloop.
endif.
write:/5 p_num1, 35 p_num2.

Dump while selecting a variant in SE11

When I select a variant for table EKKO in SE11, it dumps.
Short text: Error when attempting to IMPORT object "I8".
Error analysis
    An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR', was
     not caught in
    procedure "%_IMPORT_VARI_CLNT" "(FORM)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING
     clause.
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
    exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:
    When importing the object "I8", the component no. 3 in the
    dataset has a different type from the corresponding component
    of the target object in the program "/1BCDWB/DBEKKO".
    The data type is "C" in the dataset, but "D" in the program.
Any clues plz.
Thanks,
Kiran

Hi Leandro,
After generating the program in SE16, I could display the variant in one system. I tried the same in another system and its dumping again there. Is there any other solution that you are aware of.
Thanks for your help.

Redwood Cronacle - Selects wrong variant

I have scheduled one job with 9 steps. On third step it takes some other variant, which is not present in SAP system. The mentioned varient in Job Chain is perfectly what is required and present in SAP.
Due to this incorrect selection it ends in error and restarts. This time it selects correct variant and finishes successfully. This is a monthly job and this situation has occured for last two months.
It has been verified that noone has modified the job chain in between, as the successfuly ended job was triggered by Cronacle when earlier run ended in error.
Kindly suggest.
Thanks.

Hrishikesh,
As you say, the parameters for the regular scheduled job will remain as they were when submitted. To recognise a change in the parameters you would have to cancel then submit the job again (make sure you submit it afresh from the up-to-date script/chain definition and not resubmit the old job).
I believe what could be happening to give the symptoms you describe is the regular schedule job is running with the "snapshot" of the parameters that were available when the job was first submitted. When the job is automatically re-run it is using the correct script/chain name, but it is using the current settings of the script/chain parameters, i.e. the correct ones. I believe this is because Redwood is submitting a one-off job to achieve the re-run and using the current parameters as defined in the up-to-date version of the script/chain.
I don't know for certain that Redwood is doing this as I've described, but it would explain your symptoms and holds with other quirks I have noticed with Redwood.
I recommend you cancel the current job and submit a new fresh one.
Regards
Guy

How to get selection screen variant name of a report ?

Hi Experts,
Can any body please suggest, how I can get the variant name that was selected when a report program was being scheduled in background?
I am using system field SY-SLSET but it is working only at foregrounf execution.In background mode it holds different value like '&0000000000038'.
Thanks in advance.

Hi !
When running the program in foreground (SE38 -> F8) or in a background job (SM36), sy-slrel is correctly filled.
When running in background via SE38 transaction (run in background : F9), sy-slrel is not filled correctly (&000010 for example).
However, in the second case, you still are in foreground when in the selection screen. Thus this simple but quite efficient idea of [Vinod Vemuru|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/~ncz6anw] :

Dynamic date selection in variants

Dear Experts ,
I require to make the dynamic selection for a date range in a particular report as under :
From Date : Current date - 90 days
To date : Current date - 60 days
How can i achieve this in the variant ?
Regards
Anis

this is an example on making a date field dynamic for transaction MICN, it is the same way for other transactions
Create a variant by saving your selection.
after clicking the save button, you are in the screen fro variant attributes.
enter variant name and desciption
Find the fields GIDAT and GBDAT.
If you plan to run it e.g. every monday. then the monday will be your start date GIDAT and the next Sunday your to-date GBDAT.
select GIDAT and find the column for selection variable, press F4 in that field and select D for dynamic selection.
Then find field name of variable, press F4 and select current date.
select GBDAT and find the column for selection variable, press F4 in that field and select D for dynamic selection.
Then find field name of variable, press F4 and select current date +x days. then enter 7 in the pop-up.

Selection Screen Variant does not set Tab as active -

Hi experts,
I have a Z-report. The selection screen of this report has got 8 tabs and sub screens, for different type of reporting ( SO, PO, Invoice reporting etc).
Now the issue is, if a user creates a variant for the report with one particular tab as active tab, while running with this variant, the report starts with default tab(Tab 1) as active tab. The filed values in the particular tab are getting populated correctly from the variant. But the current/active tab is not getting set from the Variant. (Or in other words, none of the hidden fields in the screen P_TAB1, P_TAB2, etc are getting populated with X when creating a variant)
This issue started recently, and old variants (created long back) are pointing to the correct tab as expected. I have checked for the changes in the report. Unfortunately there is only one version(latest) available in the system.
Any kind of help will be appreciated.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Deeps

Hi,
I was wondering if you ever solved your issue. I am facing the same
problem. When choosing a variant, I would like the active tab to
display the correct select-option fields.
