HI,
Display Varinat is for the reports that use ALV display. I think it can only be saved after outputting the report. It can be Global or User speicific.

a variant is to store the values of the selection-screen for a particular program.
to create a variant:
go to the selection-screen of the program , give all your input values & click on "SAVE"button on tool bar.
you will see a new screen there give your variant name & description. & click on save.
now you created a variant for that program. you can have any no of variants for a program.
this VARIANT IS MANDATORY, IF you are executing the program in background mode.

hi
You can save the changed results list display format as a display variant, for reuse at a later date.
Proceed as follows:
Choose:
Settings --> Display Variants --> Save Display Variants for template and implementation projects
Settings --> Display Variant --> Save
or the Save Display Variant pushbutton for customizing projects.
...
Enter a name and a description for your display variant.
Set the User-Specific checkbox if the display variant is not to be available to other users.
Specify whether you also want to save the sort and subtotals criteria in your display variant.
Choose Save.
Your settings are saved as a display variant. To display it later, choose:
Settings --> Display Variants --> Select Display Variant for template and implementation projects
