Documentation
Definition
You need to observe some naming conventions for variables. For characteristic variables (variable type 1) the name of a variable within a field name is unique for a receiver field. For all other variable types, the variable name must be unique for that variable type.
- Global variables begin with an ampersand (&).
- Variables that are delivered by SAP have a number for the second character.
- User-defined global variables must have a letter for the second character.
You can create variables with rule nmaintenance. You can find the relevant transaction under Goto->Variables
