Field description in selection screen

Hello,
Please help me by answering a silly question: what settings have to be done so that in the selection screen for a report the field description to appear instead of the technical field name?
Regards,
Ileana

If it is for a report (a custom developed one i.e. starting with Y* or Z*), the ABAP developer needs to do the setting.
(S)he needs to make the changes in SE38. Once in the ABAP Editor, Go To --> Text Elements --> Selection Texts and maintain the texts (and Activate).
If it is for SE16 (Table Display), then the reply by SAP Enjoy is correct.
If it is for a LIS (or any Information System) report, then the reply by PSantosh is correct.
Hope this helps,
Lakshman

Functional area(FKBER field in the selection screen of the report painter))

Hi,
I have a requirement to add functional area field in the selection screen for a report painter report. This report using library 1VK and table 'CCSS'. I added functional area field in the general data selection . After the execution of report with functional area field filled with value. report not giving any output. do i need to maintain any setting to achieve?
Regards,
Palani

1. Call GR22 and click "Characteristics".
2. Check FKBER and assign a position number to it.
3. Save and close the library.
4. Call your report in GRR2 and you should now see FKBER as an available characteristic.
5. Use it in the General Data Selection or as a Lead Column, as per requirement.
Or,
1. Call GR21 and create a custom library. Provide a name and description and also provide a library you can copy from (scan for the best-fit library).
2. Now follow the steps 2 through 5 above to achieve your result.
Hope this helps.

How to Add a new fields in the selection screen of LDB.

Hi All,
I want to add a new fields in the selection screen of LDB & then i need to select the data for that fields.
So could you please tell me for that where i need to add the code for selecting the data.
Thanks
Roli

Hi
welcome to SDN forum
If you are designing your own LDB with your own tables you can define tree structure and then the selection screen for the tables
if you wants to modify the std LDB of SAp means take the access key and to modify that code
if you add the extra field you have to modify the where conditions in the code also
see the doc
A logical database is a special ABAP/4 program which combines the contents of certain database tables. You can link a logical database to an ABAP/4 report program as an attribute. The logical database then supplies the report program with a set of hierarchically structured table lines which can be taken from different database tables.
LDB offers an easy-to-use selection screens. You can modify the pre-generated selection screen to your needs. It offers check functions to check whether user input is complete, correct, and plausible. It offers reasonable data selections. It contains central authorization checks for data base accesses. Enhancements such as improved performance immediately apply to all report programs that use the logical database.
Less coding s required to retrieve data compared to normal internel tables.
Tables used LDB are in hierarchial structure.
Mainly we used LDBs in HR Abap Programming.
Where all tables are highly inter related so LDBs can optimize the performance there.

I have mapped the fields on the selection-screen to the BDC on transaction

I have mapped the fields on the selection-screen to the BDC on transaction F110.
When I am selecting a particular any value in select-option on the selection screen, it is giving some default value and the value given by me,for example:
Payment methods:C
but in BDC recording for F110 Payment methods:IEQC when the programs is running in foreground mode.
how can I rectify it?

This is because payment methods may be a table and what you see IEQC is actually, I for include, EQ for equal and C as your payment method. This is standard structure for ranges or select-options. You can use variable-low which will give you only C.

Hiding and Unhiding Fields On The Selection Screen

Hi Guys/Dolls
I've managed to grey out and hide some fields on a selection screen within the AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT section but don't know how to re-instate them.
basically on initial entry of the screen some fields are hidden but once I enter some pre-requisite data I need to display them but in a greyed out manner.
I've done the first bit but don't know how to do the 2nd bit i.e re-display the fields.
Any help would be appreciated.

Currency field on a selection screen of type 'DMBTR'.

Hello ABAPers,
      Could you please tell me how to do it?
       I have a currency field on a selection screen of type 'DMBTR'.
       When i input and press the enter key ,i want the value to be displayed in the following style.
          1. CURRENCY     EQ    'JPY'
                EX:
                      Value before pressing EnterKey =   123456
                      Value after pressing   EnterKey =    123,456
                  i.c the value should be displayed without decimal point
        2. CURRENCY      NE    'JPY'
                EX:
                      Value before pressing EnterKey =   123456
                      Value after pressing   EnterKey =    123,456.00
                  i.c the value should be displayed with decimal point
      Note:The above trick has already been done on a standard dynpro screen of Tr.Code FB60 and Field 'Amount'.

Hi ABAP Lover,
   Thanks a lot for your reply.
   I had the same idea as yours like using data type 'P'.
But, the problem is that there is only one currency field on the screen .There is also a field of 'Company Code'.
Both fields are mandatory .
Hence,the requirement is to convert the currency value to the currency of the company code which is input .
The conversion should yield the following output on the screen after pressing the enter button.
1. When currency EQ 'JPY' , the value should be displayed without decimal point
2.When currency NE 'JPY' , the value should be displayed with decimal point
I am very sorry for not explaining you clearly in my first posting.
Thanks and Regards,
Mohan

Field in the selection screen as a select option with two default values

Hi All,
can anybody tell me how to put field in the selection screen with two defaul values.
for ex: selection screen the Account Group KNA1-KTOKD as a select option. The defeault value should be Y001 and Y005.
please reply ASAP. Its urgent.
Thanks in advance,
Madhu

Hi Madhu,
Since Select options are nothing but ranges, you can use the following code to add two distinct values to the select options by default.
s_ktokd-sign = 'I'.
s_ktokd-option = 'EQ'.
s_ktokd-low = 'Y001'.
append s_ktokd.
s_ktokd-low = 'Y005'.
append s_ktokd.
clear s_ktokd.
However, if you want to mention a range like all the values between these given two values to be considered then u may use,
select-options : s_ktokd for KNA1-KTOKD default 'Y001' to 'Y005'.
or
s_ktokd-sign = 'I'.
s_ktokd-option = 'BT'.
s_ktokd-low = 'Y001'.
s_ktokd-high = 'Y005'.
append s_ktokd.

Can you "combine" criteria for 2 or more fields on a Selection Screen?

Good day everyone,
Here's my question: I understand that I can put fields on a Selection Screen and pre-fill them with data values. In this particular case, I want to pre-fill a couple of hidden fields with data values that will be used as criteria when I read data from the database; however, I need to pull back records that have this COMBINATION of data. For example:
WERKS     BTRTL
Z002      Z001
Z002      Z002
Z003      Z001
Z003      Z002
So in my SQL, if I say "werks IN s_werks" and "btrtl IN s_brtrl", true, it will still work. But really, I need to say "if werks = 'z002' and btrtl = 'z001', or werks = 'z002' and btrtl = 'z002', etc. I can't rely on the simple "IN" functionality because it's possible a new value could be added in the future:
WERKS     BTRTL
Z003      Z003
So if I use the "IN" logic and the record has werks = 'Z002' and btrtl = 'Z003', it would be returned. But I really don't want it returned, since a combination of werks = 'Z002' and btrtl = 'Z003' doesn't exist in my table of valid combinations.
Is this even possible to do in a Selection Screen? Do I go ahead and populate the fields separately, use the "IN" functionality, then spin through my resulting internal table and delete anything that doesn't match my "table" of valid combinations? Do I skip putting these on a Selection Screen completely and check the values in my SQL statement?
Thanks in advance -- points, as always, will be given.

Hi
Yuo can try to use FOR ALL ENTRIES option.
IF you have:
WERKS BTRTL
Z002 Z001
Z002 Z002
Z003 Z001
Z003 Z002
You should do something like that:
DATA: BEGIN OF <TAB_SEL> OCCURS 1,
       WERKS TYPE WERKS,
       BTRTL TYPE BTRTL,
      END   OF <TAB_SEL>.
WERKS BTRTL
<TAB_SEL>-WERKS = 'Z002'. <TAB_SEL>-BTRTL = 'Z001'.
APPEND <TAB_SEL>.
<TAB_SEL>-WERKS = 'Z002'. <TAB_SEL>-BTRTL = 'Z002'.
APPEND <TAB_SEL>.
<TAB_SEL>-WERKS = 'Z003'. <TAB_SEL>-BTRTL = 'Z001'.
APPEND <TAB_SEL>.
<TAB_SEL>-WERKS = 'Z003'. <TAB_SEL>-BTRTL = 'Z002'.
APPEND <TAB_SEL>.
SELECT * FROM <TABLE> INTO TABLE ITAB
   FOR ALL ENTRIES IN <TAB_SEL>
                   WHERE WERKS = <TAB_SEL>-WERKS
                      AND BTRTL = <TAB_SEL>-BTRTL.
In this case you need to fill correctly the internal table <TAB_SEL> with the all combinations.

Field in the Selection Screen.

Hello Experts,
I need some info to list all the reports which uses a field in the selection screen.
For example the field SAKNR (G/L Account). If this field used in the 10 reports selection screen, then I need to display all the 10 reports.
Is it possible to get the fields used in the Sel. screen of a report.
Please give some suggestion.
Regards,
Vasanth

Hello Narendra,
Thanks for the reply.
See In a program I declared the field like this:
PARAMETERS: P_SAKNR LIKE EKKN-SAKTO.
So in this case I have to list this report name.
Hope you understand my requirement.
Thanks !!!

To get plant field in my selection screen based on user profile maintained

Hi All,
I have plant (WERKS) field in my selection screen. Now I need to get the plant value maintained in the user profile for that user. So how to get the plant value based on the user profile.
Please let me know if anyone having idea on this. I will reward to you with the valid points.
Regards
raghu.

Hi Raghu,
I have searched and found this information, check it may help you
Check the SY-UNAME with the the name of the Plant
User Plant user data take it from T001W table
and All logon User data will be in USR02 table
take the data from corresponding tables and check.
If you are working in SRM
Use FM BBP_READ_ATTRIBUTES to get the User plant after passing the User ID to the FM.
in SUIM go to Users by Complex Selection criterion.
In that there would be the Authorization Object..select an object which has the value plant in it and enter the value inthat....
Also u can enter WERKS value as 1120 in the object field and get the list,

Satish
