Keywords for Temporary Variant Content Statement

Universal Connector supports SAP temporary variants via an inline variant definition. Inline variant definitions are added to a job definition file following the ABAP Step Statement to which they are associated.

Inline variant definitions are similar in structure and syntax to the standard [USAP Variant Definitions]. However, Inline variant definitions are comprised solely of Variant Content Statements.

Inline variant definitions are made up of keyword = value assignments and are terminated with a semi-colon (;).

The following table lists the keywords available for the Inline Variant Content statement, the maximum length of the associated values, whether or not they are required, and any restricted value sets.

The first keyword in the table is the keyword required to start the statement.
