Transaction-specific field display attributes are set by transaction variants which simplify transactions by:

  • setting field values
  • hiding fields and specifying whether they are ready for input
  • hiding screens

Hiding fields and compressing and hiding screens simplifies a transaction.

A transaction variant is assigned to one transaction. A transaction can have several variants.

Notes:

  • You can copy transaction variant input field values and change their output attributes.
  • Initial values are not copied into the variant. You can change the output attributes of fields with inital values.
  • Function entries are not copied into the variant.
    Exception: If a screen is not to be displayed, the function entry for this screen is copied into the variant.
  • Checkbox and radio button values cannot be copied. Checkbox output attributes can be changed.
  • Two ABAP programming language mechanisms are used to display and process table data: Table Controls and Step Loops. For their use with transaction variants:
    A value can be set for each input field in a Step Loop. The output attributes (hidden, no input) can only be set once per Step Loop (for the first field in the Step Loop); they apply to all fields in the Step Loop.
    All Step Loop fields in which a value was entered are displayed in the field list. The first field is always displayed to determine the output attributes, even if no value was entered.
    The same applies to Table Control fields as for Step Loop fields.
    Table Controls should not be set to "hidden" as the Table Control columns remain and only the field contents are hidden.
  • A new field values dialog box appears for each subscreen. The "Cancel" function is not active in this dialog box, for technical reasons.
  • Transaction variants are only possible for dialog transactions.
  • Transaction variants are client-specific.
  • Transaction variant values are not taken into account in Batch Input (incl. Batch Input recording)

Activities

  1. Specify the names of the transaction and the variant.

    If the changes in your transaction variant apply to all users, create a standard variant, which is automatically found and run when the transaction is called (by menu or transaction code). Maintain standard variants with "Goto -> Standard variant".

  2. Create the variant and enter a short text.
  3. Variant values can be entered with "Screen entries". The transaction for which the variant is to be maintained is called and you can enter the field values. At each screen change, a dialog box appears, in which the fields of the current screen are listed. You can choose whether the screen is to be displayed, whether field values are to be copied, and enter field display attributes.
  4. Leave the transaction and save the variant. If you have created a standard variant, you must activate it.
  5. Call the transaction variant with "Test".
    If you have created the standard variant, you can simply call the transaction.

Further notes

For additional information about maintaining, running and transporting transaction variants, see the online handbook (pushbutton "i") when you run the transaction.
