Create transaction with variant not working

[former_member210148]

Hello!

Here's my issue -- I have a program that, right now, is more of a shell than anything else. It is to access the HR Logical Database PNPCE, and to help filter the data I pull back, I created a Selection View with a couple of additional fields. I put the necessary values in these fields and saved it as a Variant.

All I want to do is create a transaction to run my program and start it using my Variant to fill in these additional fields. Using SE93, I can create a plain transaction with no problem. However, if I click the "Start with variant" drop-down field, I get a response that says screen 1000 (my default Selection Screen) has no variants.

At first we thought there was some client-side things needing configuration, but if I go create a quick-and-dirty program with a single Selection Screen value (no Selection View) and a Variant, SE93 sees the variant with no problems. So I'm wondering if maybe it has something to do with the fact that I'm using a Selection View. Unfortunately, I'm so new to ABAP, I'm completely stuck on how to proceed.

Any suggestions? Thank you so much!

When you go to SE93 , Give the transaction "Ztest" and hit create it`ask several option . In one of the option is create transaction with variant...

Hope this`ll help you

Thanks

Yes, I am doing that -- I am selecting the option "Program and selection screen (report transaction)"

. Is this what you mean? My question refers to the screen after this, where I start filling in the details for the transaction.

You are doing right, just write down the name of the variant , it will work , if you try to do F4 its doesn’t show you any values , but if you give your variant name and save it . It’ll work.

Saquib, thank you SO much! You're right -- that worked.

As a relative newbie to SAP R/3 and ABAP, I'm new to little quirks like this. In other examples, the list (F4) does show the variants. For some reason, this one didn't. I entered it anyway, saved, and ran the transaction, and it popped up with the fields populated from the variant.

Again, kudos and thank you so much. Points duly awarded.

Saquib, I clicked "Solved problem" next to your post. Did this effectively close the post? I've looked around for such an option but haven't seen it. Sorry for the dumb question -- just need to get up to speed with how the forum operates as well, and I don't want to mistakenly assume I did the right thing if there's more I need to do.
