setting display variant in BDC

Hi Guys,

I am trying to set a particular custom display variant for item layout during BDC for MIRO. I am able to populate the MIRO screen field RM08M-ITEM_LIST_VERSION with the correct variant name, but the layout does not change accordingly. I tried doing a recording for this, but even in the recording when I try to switch between variants the layout does not change.

My questions are:

1) Am I doing someting wrong here?

2) Is this something which can be done through BDC? If yes, how can I do this?

Please let me know.

Regards,

Nanditha
