Can one field of a variant of an ABAP4 program takes value from a table ?

Posted on Sep 30, 2005 at 10:51 PM 19 Views

When I run an ABAP4 program, there is one input field called Time Stamp. If I run the program directly (without selecting a variant), this Time Stamp field is filled with a field value from a table called TVARVC, but if I select a variant of this program, this Time Stamp field is filled with another field value of the table TVARVC. It seems that the variant value can be filled with a value in system table, am I right? If this is the case, then how it is programmed?

Thanks

    Hello Kevin,

    When you save the variant, you will be taken to a screen for variant maintenance. On that screen (that is actually an interactive list), aparty from the variant name and the variant description, there are a couple of checkboxes that you can see under <i>Field Attributes</i>. When you choose the Selection Variable, you will be asked to provide an entry from the table TVARV (By the way, there's no table called TVARVC). You can also hit the F1 button for that checkbox, which will give you the explanation.

    Regards,

    Anand Mandalika.
