Re: How to retrieve layout variant selected in the report selection screen so that same can be send as an attachment in mail

I would say, it would be difficult to "apply" all the settings - columns, subtotals, sorting, filters, layout settings - from the saved display variants over your internal table data.

Best way to achieve, what you are looking for is:

• Submit your ALV with Display variant to generate a Spool. This way all the settings from the display variants are captured in your output.
• Convert the Spool to PDF
• Attach the PDF to your email
