Parameters V/s Select Options

Hi Friends,
I would like to ask one reason while executing the select option & parameters option.
Suppose I declare one field lifnr as parameters as well as select option.
i.e.
parameters: p_lifnr like lfa1-lifnr.
select-options: s_lifnr for lfa1-lifnr.
If i execute the report in which I m using parameter option in selection screen, if I will not enter any value in selection screen & execute the report then it will not display any output.
But if I execute the same report in which I m using select-options in selection screen & if I will not enter any value in selection screen & execute the report then it will display the records.
Anybody will tell me what is the reason for this??

Parameter is a single value and when you dont enter any value means its blank value ie initial. so now when you select data from table where lifnr is empty... it does not return any value as LIFNR is never empty in the table LFA1.
Where as select options is a set of values from __ to __
ie it can be any starting number to any ending number, so now when you query on this it will consider all the values and will return you some records in your internal table
hope this is clear

Select-options and Parameters, when to use what?

Hi gurus,
I have been using Parameters for long. Now I want to choose a range of values, which I need to retrieve from database.
I tried using select-options. Can't I use 2 parameters that is parameter1 and parameter2 and mention query BETWEEN para1 AND
para2, and when I use NO INTERVALS and NO EXTENSION together, it behaves same like parameter, then why did SAP gave these
extensions.

Hi friend,
Simple differences between Select-options and parameters.
Select-Options Uses keyword 'for'
Parameters Uses keywords 'like', 'type'
Select-Options Uses operator 'in'
Parameters Uses operator '='
Select-Options Provides ranges for selection
Parameters No ranges only single value
Select-Options Creates selection table
Parameters No selection table
Select-Options When i/p blank all records selected
Parameters   When i/p blank none is selected
Note:
Select options can act as parameters by using 'no-extension' 'no intervals', but all records will be selected when i/p is blank unlike parameters.
Might be helpful..
Thanks...

SELECT-OPTION initialization

Hi everybody,
I have an ABAP program which has 3 SELECT-OPTIONS parameters. When the user fills one of them, inside the program there is a FORM that fills the other 2 becuase they are needed in the SELECT clause.
The point is that when the user finishes looking ALV result and press BACK button to the parameters screen, the SELECT-OPTIONS that was not filled by him/her are also with data. The user wants to see parameters as he/she fills: if she fills 1 the other 2 must be empty.
I try with INITIALIZATION event bus it doesn't work. Any other idea?
Thanks & many kind regards.

Rob,
I remember the comment by JB
The ponits system creates rivalry in the forums and people in competition against each other. They also attack each other publicly, or irritate each other intentionally. They report each other in the Abuse Reports asking moderators to remove ponits from each other
In suggestion & comments forum this thread will have more importance.
I get satisfied if the OP's question was answered , never mind WHO solved it. I look for HOW it was solved.
Personally i say the competitive attitude is not good

Parameters and Select Option in ABAP OO

Hi all,
it's possible to build an application starts with a method of a class thats declares parameters and select-option or I have to do it custom creating a dynpro and some input field as parameters?
thanks
enzo

Just to add detail: the function module RS_REFRESH_FROM_SELECTOPTIONS returns a table of TYPE RSPARAMS_TT.
The structure of this table is:
SELNAME
RSSCR_NAME
KIND
RSSCR_KIND
SIGN
TVARV_SIGN
OPTION
TVARV_OPTI
LOW
TVARV_VAL
HIGH
TVARV_VAL
the first field is the name of the selection parameter, the others have the same structure obtained declaring a range with:
TYPES|DATA <rangetab> TYPE RANGE OF <type>.

Mix of Parameters & Select Options in a Selection screen in WD4A

Hi All.
I just created my first selection screen in WD4A couple of days back.
Now, we have to mix up some parameters and select-options just like in normal ABAP.
But I could only find a way to insert a "Range" into the WD4A screens via "Create_Range_table".
Supposing I have 2 select-options, then 2 parameters - i.e. no Pattern or range or intervals options (simple = option); then again 2 select-options.
Can't we make a simple Parameter option in WD4A selection screen? I know we can make no_extension and no_intervals as true so that it does look like a parameter. But still user can enter a pattern search in it like a select-option.
Hope my query is clear.
Another question is : As far as I understood, we ALWAYS need a IT_RESULT table in the method ADD_SELECTION_FIELD. Then why is it not mandatory in the method?
Thanks in adv.

Hi Aishi,
In an early version of SelectOptions, the parameter it_result was mandatory. Some time later, a developer contacted me and showed me an example where it was benefitial to first create the field and to pass in the range table at a later point in his algorithm. This can be done by calling set_range_table_of_sel_field( ). Hence, the parameter has become optional. Of course, a range table needs to be specified before the page gets rendered.
Best regards,
Thomas

Parameters & select-options

What will happen if we execute a report without giving any value in parameter in selection screen ?
What will happen if we execute a report without giving any value in select-options in selection screen ?

Hi Swapna,
Here you go..Use this code and find the differennce
*--   2) Difference between Parameters and Select options with
*--    No-Intervals and No-extension
Explanation: -
1) If u dont enter any value in parameter, the system consider it as a initial value and dont retrive any records. If u dont enter any value in select-options, the system selects all values from the database.
2) The other difference is You can check a value againist a Entries against a check table with Parameter option by as " VALUE CHECK ". However it is recommended to use this only when the parameter is obligatory becuase it checks for blank entries also. This option( VALUE CHECK ) cannot be used in SELECT-OPTIONS.
( Eg:- p_matnr like mara-matnr OBLIGATORY VALUE CHECK. )
TABLES: MARA.
DATA: p_count TYPE i,
      s_count TYPE i.
PARAMETERS: p_mtart like mara-mtart.
SELECT-OPTIONS: s_mtart FOR mara-mtart NO INTERVALS NO-EXTENSION.
SELECT count(*) FROM
   MARA into p_count
   WHERE matnr = p_mtart.
SELECT count(*) FROM
   MARA into s_count
   WHERE matnr IN s_mtart.
WRITE:/ p_count,
        s_count.
In this output, p_count = 0.
            and s_count will be total no. of records in database.
Reward points if this code is helpful.
Thanks.

Select-options and parameters

hi,
In How many ways we can define select-options and parameters.

hi uday,
Usually we use PARAMETERS for single value input and
SELECT-OPTIONS is used to give a range of input values for a single field
SELECT-OPTIONS implicitly consists of internal table with fields
OPTIONS
LOW
HIGH
SIGN
eg:
      DATA: G_VBELN TYPE VBAK-VBELN.
      SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B1 WITH FRAME.
      PARAMETERS : P_VBELN LIKE VBAK-VBELN.
      SELECT-OPTIONS: S_VBELN FOR G_VBELN.
      SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK B1.
   o/p:
          P_VBELN: _________________.
         S_VBELN:___________ TO ____________.

Srry Raj u misundersttod me ...
I was not saying ur solution is not gud ...my question was different .....may be this is not the right forum to ask what i want to know ....
just bear with me moderators plz ...
i just wanted to understand the interview process...since I have not appreared for any interview ( I started my carreer with a company and I am still with it ..wuld luv to continue [:d])
I believe , if you would have asked me the same question probably i would not have given u the best possible solution...as u r also admitting for ur particular scenario ur solution is better than max's .....
as an inteviewer will u expect the best solution from me .....( which might not come to my mind ( nd I am sure will not ..I luv abap debugger ) or u just wanna check if I know how to use difference selection screen events .
If u wanted to hear only the better solution ...( I am rejected ............now I will have to continue sticking to my current job [:d], not bcoz i prefer but bcoz I cant switch )
if u want to test if i know how to use selection screen events then ( I am selected ...but now I would like to stick to my current job ...bcoz I want to )
Now I realize I cannot do ABAP without Debugger.

How to create a selection option or parameters in a subarea of the screen

Hi Experts,
    My program have a screen 1001 and it is splited into two parts: the first is a Subarea for selection option, and the last is a table control. Now I want to create some selection option and parameters in the first subarea just like we do in screen 1000. Do we have any convenient way to do that?
Thanks in advance
Joe

Hi Joe,
Yes ,it can be done like below code:
TABLES : mara.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF SCREEN 1001 AS SUBSCREEN.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK b1 WITH FRAME TITLE text-001.
SELECT-OPTIONS: s_matnr FOR mara-matnr,
                s_matkl FOR mara-matkl,
                s_mtart FOR mara-mtart.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK b1.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF SCREEN 1001.
DATA: number(4) TYPE n VALUE '1001'.
START-OF-SELECTION.
CALL SCREEN 100.
in screen flow logic .write below statements.
first declare the subscreen area 'AREA' in screen.
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE STATUS_0100.
CALL SUBSCREEN area INCLUDING sy-repid number.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
CALL SUBSCREEN area.
MODULE USER_COMMAND_0100.

Passing select-options parameters type to the class

Hi All,
I am creating one class and I want to pass the select-options parameters directly to it like s_plant,s_mtart etc .
So while specifying these as paramters what type I should give them?
Rgds,
Madhuri

Whatever you finally decide upon, you must have a Data Dictionary definition. So either create one for each type (bukrs, vkorg, etc.) or use a general one like RSELOPTION. However with the general one you have to put extra code in the class to convert back from a CHAR 45 field to your special field.
Anyway, using the Data Dictionary is fun! So go create as many new tables as you need. In the long term, the work you do in the Data Dictionary is never wasted and it may save you time in the future when you need that structure / table again for a different program.
Creating these structures and tables is easy if you use shortcuts. For example in local definitions in your program you can code...
data range1 type range of bukrs.
or
data wa_bukrs type bukrs.
ranges range1 for wa_bukrs.
either of these gives you the structure... no need to manually type sign, option, low, high...
What about Global (data dictionary) definitions? yes, there are also shortcuts...
start transaction SE11, enter range table name in the 'Data' field (e.g. ZMYRANGETAB), Hit Create, choose to create a Table Type... now you are on the blank new Maintain Table Type screen. enter a short text for your new table, then choose
Edit->Define as ranges table type
next enter your data element (e.g. BUKRS) under 'data element', hit Save and activate. You just created your range table without manually entering sign, option, low, high...
But wait there's more... on the same screen you can now (after saving the range table) also enter a structure name such as ZMYRANGE in the field 'structured row type'. Hit Create and you are taken to the Maintain Structure screen where the sign, option, low and high are already populated... add a short description and save and activate... you just created a workarea for your range table.
You just created a table type ZMYRANGETAB and a structure ZMYRANGE with minimal effort.

Symaltaneous use of select-option and parameters in smartforms .

hello Abaper,
I am design a smartforms . we have given some input. when we use only parameters it works properly. as same when we use select-option only its works .

Actually call function is not works .
So please give me proper idea how to solve this problem .

Hi ,
Still problem is not solved.
i want to call following fields but function modules show run time error. IF separately i call only parameter its run properly.
in the same way if i call only select option is runs properly.
please suggest me how can i call both the things.
PARAMETERS: P_BUKRS   TYPE BSEG-BUKRS        OBLIGATORY,
            P_GJAHR   TYPE BSEG-GJAHR        OBLIGATORY.
parameters: P_SECCO type SECCODE-SECCODE   OBLIGATORY.
*SELECT-OPTIONS : P_SECCO FOR SECCODE-SECCODE   OBLIGATORY.
PARAMETERS: P_QSCOD   TYPE J_1IEWTNUMGR-QSCOD OBLIGATORY.
SELECT-OPTIONS: P_BUDAT FOR BKPF-BUDAT        OBLIGATORY,
            P_BLART   FOR BKPF-BLART,
            P_J_HLN   FOR J_1IEWTCHLN-J_1IEXTCHLN,

How to assing parameters to select-options

hi all
thanks in advance
how to assign parameter value to select-option
date
SELECTION-SCREEN: BEGIN OF BLOCK B1 WITH FRAME TITLE text-001.
select-options    s_budat     FOR mkpf-budat OBLIGATORY,
                          s_budat1     FOR mkpf-budat.
   parameters cperiod like mkpf-budat.
SELECTION-SCREEN:END OF BLOCK B1.
cperiod assign to s_budat-low
or dummy s_budat1 and how give selection criteria
thanks all

Hi,
I think you want to set some default values in select options.
so following is code...
TABLES:MKPF.
SELECTION-SCREEN: BEGIN OF BLOCK B1 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-001.
SELECT-OPTIONS: S_BUDAT FOR MKPF-BUDAT OBLIGATORY,
                S_BUDAT1 FOR MKPF-BUDAT.
PARAMETERS CPERIOD LIKE MKPF-BUDAT.
SELECTION-SCREEN:END OF BLOCK B1.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
S_BUDAT-LOW = SY-DATUM.
append s_budat.
hope it will help you...

HI major diffrence in select-options and parameters

Hi,
Can any one explain me the major diffrence between select options and parameters.
I know that in select options we can give a range of values and in parameter one value.
Thanks

Hello Hari,
I would see following differences:
1. As you have mentioned, many values/ranges can be given in the SELECT-OPTIONS. However, the parameter can hold only one value.
2. In the run time, we see the data w.r.t a select option as an Internal table and Parameter may be accessed as a global variable.
3. Consider following statements:
a. select-options: s_matnr for mara-matnr no-extension no intervals.
b. parameters: P_MATNR like mara-matnr.
Both the statements look same on the selection screen.
consider the SQLs:
<b>select * into corresponding fields of table g_t_mara
from mara
where
matnr in s_matnr.</b>
and
<b>select * into corresponding fields of table g_t_mara
from mara
where
matnr eq p_matnr.</b>
both the SQLs give the same output if the user gives a material number on Selection screen.
If the user does NOT give any input in selection screen, the first SQL will fetch all data from DB, whereas the SQL with the PARAMETER will fail.
So I think we should keep in mind the requirement and code accordingly.
I hope this helps you.

Murugesh AS
