Ipak variable selection using ABAP

Question

Hi All
I am trying to set the value of a selection variable in an Ipak using ABAP using the following code
l_t_range-low = datetime.
l_t_range-sign = 'I'.
l_t_range-option = 'GT'.
I need to extract records with a timestamp greater than the value set in l_t_range-low.
However I get the error message
For sel. Field 'xxxxxxx', No selection with SIGN='I', OPTION 'GT' allowed.
I could use BETWEEN as a workaround but is there anything obviously wrong with the above code.
Thanx in advance

Hi Asif,
In our case we had a requirement to load the data for the transactions occuring in the last 15 days only, so we have write the routine on the last modified date feild in the infopackage.so as to select only records modified or created in the last 15 days..
attached is the sample code....
data: l_idx like sy-tabix.
read table l_t_range with key
fieldname = 'LAST_MODIFIED_DA'.
l_idx = sy-tabix.
data : w_cdate type d .
l_idx = sy-tabix.
w_cdate = sy-datum.
w_cdate = w_cdate - 15 .
L_t_RANGE-LOW = w_cdate .
L_t_RANGE-HIGH = sy-datum .
L_t_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
L_t_RANGE-OPTION = 'BT'.
append l_t_range.
modify l_t_range index l_idx.
p_subrc = 0.
Hope it helps...
