screen variants--screen number and program

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am a functional consultant and not familiar with coding/development.I needed some help with regards to creating a screen variant.

-->In which scenarios can one use a screen variant?

-->How do we find the screen number and program?I checked the' source' info too...all it gives me is the template details.But,i haven't been able to find the screen number and program.

Any inputs!

Hi,

The transaction code for screen variants is SHD0.

Generall screen varaints are used to chnage the screen display i.e. to add a new field/make the fields editable etc...

In SRM,for screen enhancements genrally some BADI's are provided but if not then screen variants is the next option to implement the same.Finally if screen varaint is not possible then you can do the changes in the relevant ITS templates.

The foll screen varaints are available in SRM:

Thanks Disha.

I got to the point where i have to input the screen # and the program.I am just not able to find the screen # and program....did the page/frame source which gives me the service/template information.

But how do i find the screen # and program?E.g if i have to default say 'my personal templates' in the drop down list....how do i find the screen # and program associated with it?

Also,elsewhere somebody mentioned that we also have to mention the Transaction Codes involved...why?

Thanks

Hi,

If you know the Web screen/Web transaction for which you need to implement the screen variant,you just right click on that screen and say view source.There in the text file ,you will need to search for the corresponding ITS template/service thorugh which you will have to found out the program name/screen in SE93.In SE93,just enter the ITS service name in TRASNACTION CODE and see the corresponding source code program for that.
