Hello ABAPers,

This is my very first Blog on ABAP Development and I am thinking sharing my experience with you will definitely help someone.

Please follow this blog for more contents on ABAP.

Requirement: Based on some condition in Program1, change the values from all the variants of Program2.

For this test scenario, I have two variants for program2 ZSAT_TEST_VARIANT.

Variant 1:  ZSAT

Variant 2: ZSAT1

For example, after executing Program1, I need to delete 4^th value of all variants, i.e. D10000 and D2000 will be deleted in this case.

After execution of Program1, we can see the expected result.

You can see variant’s values D10000 and D2000 got deleted from all variants of program2.

Complete Code for your reference.

REPORT zsat_test_variant1.

DATA :  gt_cat       TYPE rsvcat,
gt_valutab   TYPE TABLE OF rsparams,
gs_vari_desc TYPE varid.

***Read all variants for program ZSAT_TEST_VARIANT

* Implement suitable error handling here
ELSE.

***DELETE 4th row of each variant value

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

ELSE.
*      LOOP AT gt_valutab ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL(<fs_tab>).

*You can write your own logic here, for Demo purpose I'm just deleting 4th value from all variants
DELETE gt_valutab INDEX 4.
