Marking block of rows in table control

Question

Hi All,
I have an requirement to mark block of rows (Like 2 to 5, 7 to 11 or 3 to 15 ) in table control to delete from the table control. This functionality is available in SM30 (Table maintenance generator) and my users want same functionality for customized dialog program.
Can any one any have an idea how to write the code for marking block of entries in table control.
Thanks in advance,
Chandra

Hi,
Assign a internal table field to table control place holder , whenever you select a row in the table control , internal table field value set to 'X'.
so delete the rows from the internal table where row value set to 'X'.
Sample code :
CASE OK_CODE.
WHEN 'DELETE'.
  DELETE I_TAB WHERE CHK = 'X'.
ENDCASE.
check these demo programs:
RSDEMO_TABLE_CONTROL
DEMO_DYNPRO_TABLE_CONTROL_1
DEMO_DYNPRO_TABLE_CONTROL_2
RSDEMO_TABLE_CONTROL
RSDEMO02
if you want to mark the records through code , first assign a internal table field to table control first column (say buttons which we will use to select a row)
then do like this :
case sy-ucomm.
when 'MARK'.
loop at i_tab.
  i_tab-chk = 'X'.
  modify i_tab.
endloop.
endcase.
