Hi Thirumal,

First run your program through se38. Then enter your values which u

want to use. Then save that by using the save button. Then goto

SE36 and define your job while defineing when you define the step

give the name of the program then down of that you will have an option

of giving the variant use f4 then it will show the value which you have

saved while executing the program through se38.Now save your job it

will run with the variant.

Reward points if helpfull.

Hi Thirumalairajan,

As far as i know theres no such thing as a temp variant, if you want to schedule a job to run a program with a variant, you need to create the variant first using SE38

At SE38 just enter the program name the execute -> Enter the value desired -> Click on Goto -> Variant -> Save as Variant

Then when scheduling a job specify the program and the variant created.
