Mass transport: how to select more than 7 roles at a time

Question

I have about 50 roles I need to transport.  I would like to use mass transport, but when I select all 50 roles, only the first 7 are actually added to the transport list. 
I have to repeat the selection many times before all the roles are included in my transport request.. still a rather time consuming process.  How can I select more than 7 at a time?

Oh, dear....

This is where I think you do not have a problem but a misunderstanding. Never mind, we see those quite often.

I had to start it first (minisap Nw2004), renew the license and wait for the transport tool to compile. You've got me busy here on a saturday

done

yep, watched it compile.

yep

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
This is where the misunderstanding starts

No

No
> 7. Observe that only the first 8 role are actually copied to the multiple selection list
Instead, hit F8 where you have hit F4 and find out all roles that fit the mask will be entered into the transport.
You have mixed up the actual report selection and the search functionality of the selection screen. Play with it, it's fun.
One word of caution: Mass transport can cause perfromance problems and errors. I always try not to enter more than 500 roles into a transport at a time.
