Hi, Andreas,

Thanks for your reply,

I have done that in my program,but it can only mask the field in the standard program selection-screen, not work in menu goto->variants->display.

Hi,

One option to do is, when you save a variant select check box for 'HIDE FIELD' in the field attributes section.

This will not let to view the contents of the parameter.

Disadvantage of this option is when you select the variant the parameter will act as NO-DISPLAY field.

For execution without variant it acts as normal.

Rest assured your value will be protected.

Hi, Eswar ,

Thanks for your reply.

Your method can hide the field in selection-screen,but can not

hide it in menu Goto->Variants->Display, in the Display menu(not the report selection screen),if I click the variant,all content will be show.

It's interesting, when i tried earlier the hidden parameter was not visible in Variants neither in change mode nor in display mode.

Am not sure if we both are following same method.
