Variable Values in Variants

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

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.
