Hi,
If i understand ur problem correctly u r trying to pass a select-option to Tables for a smartform function module. It gives an error & it correct.
If u understand the structure of a select option, it will have 4 fields in it & the structure will be
SIGN                   CHAR1
OPTION               CHAR2
LOW                   Type Zfield
HIGH                   Type Zfield
But ur receiving Table paramter of the smnartform FM will be having only 1 field - Type Zfield
So this mismatch gives u an error.
Solution:
Case1:
Write code outsied th FM in ur program to get all the values & build an internal table & pass that to the FM.
Case2:
Define the Structure of table in the smartforms as tols earlier & then try passsig the Select option.
Thanks & Regards,
