Maintaining the Attributes of a Variant (2024)

Prerequisites

You must already have created a variant for a program to maintain its attributes.

Procedure

  1. In the Variant field on the initial screen for maintaining variants, enter the name of the variant.
  2. Choose Maintaining the Attributes of a Variant (1)Change.

    The maintenance screen of the variant appears.

  3. On the application toolbar, choose Variant attributes.

    The Variant Attributes screen appears.

  4. Maintain the relevant attributes.
  5. Choose Maintaining the Attributes of a Variant (2)with the quick info text Save.

Additional Functions:

  • Save

    When you have entered all of the parameters, save your settings. When you create a new variant, you must enter both values and attributes. You can save your variant only on the attribute screen. However, if you only want to change values or attributes of an existing variant, you can save the variant on the corresponding screen.

  • Changing the Screen Assignment

    The attribute screen lists all of the selection screens for which the variant is defined. While it is possible for the same selection criterion to appear on more than one screen, the selection criterion itself can be a global field in the program. For this reason, it can only be set once when the selection criterion occurs for the first time.

    If you want to change the screen assignment later on, select the indicator of the relevant screen number and choose Maintaining the Attributes of a Variant (3)Copy Screen Assignment.

  • Defining Selection Variables
