Examples

Dependencies

By defining a standard variant, you can specify that the query must always be executed using a variant.

Supplementary Documentation - AQ_VARIANT0180

Use

When you execute a query, you generate an ABAP/4 report. Like any other report, you can execute it with a variant.

If you wish, you can define a standard variant for a query. ABAP/4 Query then uses this if you execute a query without a variant by selecting Query -> Execute. In this way, you ensure that default values always appear on the selection screen when you execute a query.

Procedure

Specify the name of the variant you want to use as the standard variant.

Examples

Dependencies

Please note that you must create the standard variant before you execute the query. To maintain variants, proceed to the initial screen by selecting Goto -> Maintain variants.
