Definition

The replacement type defines how a variable is to be replaced by a value. A variable can be replaced manually or automatically.

• Automatic replacement path (Replacement type 1)
  For variables of types 3 and 4, you can create an automatic replacement path. You define the replacement path using the following entries: Source field (field name), From/To flag, characteristic value/text flag, offset and length.
  
• Replacement by manual entry (Replacement type 2)
  The contents of the variable are determined by the entry you make when carrying out the transaction.
  
• Replacement by user-exit (Replacement type 3)
  The content of the variable is defined by a user-exit. Your user-exits can be found and maintained in module pool SAPLXYEX. The function modules are called EXIT_SAPLKYP1_001, EXIT_SAPLKYP1_002 and EXIT_SAPLKYP1__003. You also need to create corresponding includes ZXYEXU01, ZXYEXU02 and ZXYEXU03 as local objects. You program in these includes. The transfer fields in the function modules can be accessed from here.
  
• Replacement by SAP-Exit (Replacement type 4)
  The contents of the variable are determined by a path prescribed by SAP. These variables begin with a number and cannot be maintained.
  
• Replacement by a fixed value (Replacement type 5)
  The contents of the variable are determined by the entry in the field 'Fixed value' on this screen.
• Replacement by a reference (Replacement type 7)
  Relevant with variable type 5 (hierarchy)
  The hierarchy display in the report list can be controlled using this variable when using a hierarchy node in the form. At the same time, the hierarchy node of the formula is used for the hierarchy display of the report list.
  Prerequisite: A hierarchy node variable (variable type 2) with replacement type 2 (entry) is used for the hierarchy node in the form. The name of the node variables must agree with the name of the hierarchy variables (variable type 5, replacement type 7).
  This hierarchy variable is offered in the report definition with the hierarchy selection.
  Example: Global hierarchy node variable &KNOTEN used in the form (variable type 2, replacement type 2)
  In addition, a global variable &KNOTEN is defined with variable type 5, replacement type 7.
  The variable &KNOTEN can be highlighted in the report definition using the hierarchy selection. Then the report list is displayed in accordance with nodes entered when executing the report.
  
• Replacement by user parameters from the GPA area (only online)
  Relevant for variable type 1 (characteristic value)
  The variable is automatically replaced by the Get parameter value of the entered field.
