Documentation

Definition

If you select the "Start Using Variant" field, a user can only start this report using a variant.

Dependencies

This field is only useful with programs that can be executed (reports).
If selected, at least one variable has to be created for the report so that it can be executed.

"Start Using Variant" is only checked when you execute reports directly using transactions in the ABAP Workbench (Object Navigator, ABAP ABAP Variants, ABAP Editor, ABAP program execution, transaction maintenance).
Furthermore when a report transaction is created for the report, this report transaction has to be linked to a variant.

However, "Start Using Variant" does not offer runtime protection to prevent the user from executing

• the report using SUBMIT <report_name>
• the report transaction using CALL TRANSACTION

without variants.
