As well as the CATT-independent system variables, you can also use special variables.

Special variables can be included directly in a character string (literal).

You cannot use variable offset and length as usual, e.g. &M01+02(08).

• Client &MND

This is the same value as the contents of the system variable SY-MANDT.

• System date &DAT

The date is in &DAT (see date variables) in external format, without format characters. You define which external format is effective, as a default value in the user master record.

In contrast to &DAT, SY-DATUM is always in the internal format: YYYYMMDD

• User name &NAM

This is the same value as the contents of the system variable SY-UNAME.

• RFC target system &LDS

The current RFC target system on which a remote test is running.

• Years

• Current loop counter: &LPC

The variable &LPC contains the current value of the innermost loop count in DO/ENDDO loops.
