Checkboxes persistance in PCR development

Question

Hello ALL,
I am using checkbox group within JSP iView in the PCR development in MSS. Business package is 60.1.
I am unable to persist the checkboxes data (if checked
by user should remain checked after roundtrip.)
What data element should be used for checkboxes while defining characteristics?
What data is available in backend for checkboxes?
The Development guide in section 7.6 says that checkboxes are never used in the PCR framework.
Can anybody suggest on this by examples?

Here is a workaround for the problem you are facing with checkboxes.
The sample code below could be used for every checkbox on the PCR form. When the checkbox is checked, a values of 'X' is passed to R/3 and when left unchecked it's blank. In R/3, this should be handled appropriately.
CHKBOX_CHKT_NAME is the name of the characteristic as defined in the scenario.
<input type="hidden" id="CHKBOX_CHKT_NAME" name="CHKBOX_CHKT_NAME" value='<%= ISR.getValue("CHKBOX_CHKT_NAME") %>'>
<% if ( ( ISR.getValue("CHKBOX_CHKT_NAME").equalsIgnoreCase("X")) ) { %>
                         <hbj:checkbox
                                 id="CHKBOX_CHKT_NAME"
                                 checked="true"
                                  />
<% } else { %>
                         <hbj:checkbox
                                 id="CHKBOX_CHKT_NAME"
                                 checked="false" />
<% } %>
