Variable Values in Variants 

Use

You can use variable values in variants to avoid having to create a new variant each time you use different values.

Features

Using variables in variants includes three different options:

●      Variable date calculations

You can use variable date calculation when you need to use a date in a variant, for example, today's date or the last day of the month.

For more information, see Creating Variables for Date Calculations.

●      User-specific fixed values

To fill certain selections with values that differ from user to user, you use a variant with user-specific values.

For more information, see User-Specific Selection Variables.

●      Fixed values defined in table TVARVC

To fill certain selections with values that change according to the application, you use a variant which takes the variable values from table TVARVC. To avoid having to create a new variant and specify it in every background processing run following each minimal change in the selection data, you can simply assign a variable in table TVARVC to it and then change the values concerned in the table. This is important for the values on the selection screen that are input-protected.

For more information, see Fixed Values in Table TVARVC.
