Dynamic variants for a background job

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to set up a background job for a dynamic variant. To elaborate my selection screen has date ranges which need to change dynamically , if the job is secheduled on weekly basis the selection date range should change automatically in the variant. I got to know that the same is possible through the table TVARV. Can I know about the method of setting up the same?

Thanks,

You can handle this on the <b>INITIALIZATION.</b> event.

Default the values on this event.

You can set a dynamic date to today date or some other date without using the table TVARV.

To set the dynamic date:

Save variant on the selection screen.

In the vairant screen, press F4 against your field in the column "Selection Variable"

Select D here.

In the column Name of the variable, press F4 to have the list of the possible rules.

Here you can select "Current date - xxx,current date + yyy" if you want to have certain period.

When you select this system will pop up to put the values for XXX and YYY.

Say for last 7 days, you can set the values XXX as 7 and YYY as0.

But the best way is to change the program, if possible, and fill the select option in the intialization event.
