Variant 'XYZ' of program 'ABCDEF' cannot be imported (see long text)
Message no. DB634
Diagnosis
The variant ‘XYZ’ is to be imported for the report ‘ABCDEF’. Relevant type information about the report parameters (SELECT-OPTIONS or PARAMETERS) was changed extensively since the last time the variant was saved, meaning that the type or length of certain parameters no longer match or SELECT-OPTIONS or PARAMETERS were switched.
Some changes were so extensive that the variant cannot be imported without an explicit update or modification of the variant.
Procedure
Use the report RSVARDOC_NEW to adapt the variant to the current data format of the report parameters. If this report is not in your system, install SAP Note 3100470.
Use the report RSVCHECK_NEW (for example, before the update) to get an overview, for example, of whether any further variants are affected in the same report or in other reports.
Also, check whether you have the latest version of the variant update tools in your system by comparing the Version Number specified in SAP Note 3100470 with the constant C_VERSION in the ABAP class CL_SVAR_SELSCREEN_VARIANT_SRV in your system. You can do this, for example, by using transaction SE24. If the values do not match, install the latest version of the SAP Note 3100470.
The report RSVARDOC_610 is obsolete and should no longer be used.
After the update, the validity and completeness of the result should always be checked, particularly if the variant in question is especially critical or otherwise important.
It is also possible that a variant can no longer be saved. In this case, the variant should be deleted or overwritten with new input.
