Using Variants As Default Values Using ABAP

If you need to use variant values as the default values in your selection screen, then you can achieve this by using the “RS_SUPPORT_SELECTIONS” function module.

All you need to do is supply the variant name and it will display the value automatically during the INITIALIZATION event.

Here’s the ABAP SAMPLE CODE.

01.INITIALIZATION.

02.

03. data: tp_subrc like sy-subrc.

04. data: tp_repid like rsvar-report.

05. data: tp_variant like rsvar-variant.

06.

07. tp_repid = sy-repid.

08. clear tp_variant.

09. tp_variant = 'Your Variant Name'.

10.

11. "Check if the variant is exist.

12.

13. call function 'RS_VARIANT_EXISTS'

14. exporting

15. report = tp_repid

16. variant = tp_variant

17. importing

18. r_c = tp_subrc

19. exceptions

20. others = 9.

21.

22. if sy-subrc = 0.

23.

24. call function 'RS_SUPPORT_SELECTIONS'

25. exporting

26. report = tp_repid

27. variant = tp_variant

28. exceptions

29. variant_not_existent = 01

30. variant_obsolete = 02.

31.

32. endif.

Once you run the report program (F8) you will see the selection screen are populated by the variant values.
