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

Former Member

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.

Hi Anand,

Sorry to interrupt your here. TVARVC is available as of WAS 610 . It was not there uptill BASIS release 46D.

You can check OSS 557314.

okay....I have only checked on the 46C system. If you say that it's available from 610, IO take your word for it...:-).

The concept still remains the same, though, doesn't it?

hi Sanjay,

What does WAS stand for? And what's 610?

Thanks for your input!

Hello Kevin,

WAS...web application server and that table exists from Version 610.

That is what I think..Correct me if I am wrong.

We often say version 4.6C or 4.6D, but what does the 610 stand for?

6.10 is the first release of web application server or WAS.

SAP basis 4.6d

SAP WAS 6.10

Kevin,

46c or 46d or 47 are the versions of SAP.

Similarly ABAP too has a version 620 or 640.

And WAS has a version too like 610, 620 and the latest version is 640.
