Variable values in variants allow you to avoid creating new variants each time different values are used. There are three options for using variables in variants: 1) variable date calculations that can use dates like today's date or the last day of the month, 2) user-specific fixed values that differ for each user, and 3) fixed values defined in table TVARVC that change based on the application and avoid creating new variants for minimal changes by assigning variables in the table instead.

Variable Values in Variants
Variable values in variants allow you to avoid creating new variants each time different values are used. There are three options for using variables in variants: 1) variable date calculations that can use dates like today's date or the last day of the month, 2) user-specific fixed values that differ for each user, and 3) fixed values defined in table TVARVC that change based on the application and avoid creating new variants for minimal changes by assigning variables in the table instead.
Use You can use variable values in variants to avoid having to create a new variant each time you use different values. Features Using variables in variants includes three different options: ● Variable date calculations You can use variable date calculation when you need to use a date in a variant, for example, today's date or the last day of the month. For more information, see Creating Variables for Date Calculations. ● User-specific fixed values To fill certain selections with values that differ from user to user, you use a variant with user-specific values. For more information, see User-Specific Selection Variables. ● Fixed values defined in table TVARVC To fill certain selections with values that change according to the application, you use a variant which takes the variable values from table TVARVC. To avoid having to create a new variant and specify it in every background processing run following each minimal change in the selection data, you can simply assign a variable in table TVARVC to it and then change the values concerned in the table. This is important for the values on the selection screen that are input-protected. For more information, see Fixed Values in Table TVARVC.
