Question:
Hi!
I am having a Report which has some variables built on it. At run time
it ask for the values. I have created variants for selection screen( Variable entry).
My requirement is that I want to run the query with out popping up the variable entry screen, Report should pick up variable values and run the report. Please suggest me a solution for this.
Thanks

Answer:
Use default values of variables in this case.
Anyway your requirement indicates that, there will always be only one variant, which is equivalent to default values if you supply.

Hi !
Thanks for your answer.
If we use default values in variable it may affect in all the queries where that variable is used. That is not my requirement. I a query to pick up values from variant and run with out any pop-up sceen.
Thanks

Answer:
Liek Parin said : if this query always runs with 1 specifc set of selections, why create varaibles for it (like the name says : they serve to make something variable/flexible)
Remove all variables from your query definition and make FIXED restrictions ... no variable screen will pop-up.
If this doesn't suit your requirements, give a little more detail... maybe we can think of something else
Answer:
Variants generally are automatically used for the background queries.
Now we have 2 options
1. You can either create another copy of variables if possible.
2. Why don’t you supply default value itself. You can restrict your Characteristics and Keyfigures with the value you would define in the variant (variable selection screen).
