Select-option length

Hi,
I am working on a BDC program. In that, I have declared a Select-options for the Upload file name as below.
<i><b>SELECT-OPTIONS: S_PATH      FOR      PARMS-PATH
                               NO INTERVALS
                               LOWER CASE.</b></i>
<i><b>PARMS-PATH</b></i> is defined for 128 CHARs.
Later in the program I am using S_PATH-LOW value in the upload logic and etc.
Even though S_Path is defined for 128 CHARs, <b>it is taking only 45 characters(max)</b> when I give the file path in the selection screen.
<b>Eg:</b> If the Path is <b>'C:\ZTEST012uom.txt'</b>, it works and we are getting the output as below(as the file path length is less than 45 char).
And if the path is <b>'C:\folder1\folder2\folder3\folder4\folder5\ZTEST012uom.txt'</b>, it doesn't work(as the file path length is more than 45 char).
My question is, is there any fixed length defined for the select-options. Why am I facing this problem.
Can anyone help me how I can rectify this issue...?? Thanks in advance.

Select-option length specification (in report program, not module pool)

Dear forumers,
Is there a way to properly customize the length of a select-option in a report program?
Currently, the select-option S_ADMAIL is shown in the selection screen at a length of 18 characters. No matter what I've coded, this length does not change. The requirement states for the length to be shown at 40 characters long:-
Admin Email (type STRING showing up to 40 char on screen)
How may I fix the select-option's visible length to 40 characters?
DATA: v_admail TYPE string.   " Tried with TYPE CHAR40 too
SELECT-OPTIONS: s_admail FOR (v_admail) NO INTERVALS VISIBLE LENGTH 40.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
LOOP AT SCREEN.
    IF screen-name CS 'S_ADMAIL'.
      screen-length = 40.
      MODIFY SCREEN.
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
Perhaps there is an FM that can accomplish this (but I'm not sure what it is)? Please do help. Thanks a lot.

Dear Tan,
Tables : makt.
select-options maknr for makt-maktx.
now go to the screen painter of your program in change mode and move the Help buttons first to the Right each. now *increasethe length of the Matnr Field length so that they are equal to 40 Char. in your program you have handle the length now if you want to restrict to 18 otherwise it will be ok*
if they don't fit you need incease the Size of the Screen Visible area both in the Screen Painter as well as in the
Screen Attributes
You also get an Information Message just ignore that.
Just open your program in SE80 if you can't go to the screen painter in SE38. the other way just keep this program in Display mode and execute then take F1 help , take Technical Information and double click on the Screen number now go to the Screen Layout and go to Change mode here.
Hope this is Very Clear to you.
I just did it
Cheers

Length of select-options in selection screen.

Hi,
I was able to give the lemgth of select-options only upto 8 characters.
Select-options :S_Mtrial for mara-matnr.
But my requirement is I want total name which is more than 8 characters.
Select-options:Material_numberl for mara-matnr.
Can any one help how to do.
Thanks in advance.

The Statement...
Select-options :S_Mtrial for mara-matnr
The selection screen length depends on the type that you are assigning to it. Since the length of type
mara-matnr is less, the selection option S_Mtrial will be displayed with short length in the selection screen.
The alternate to do this is...
selection-screen begin of line.
selection-screen comment 2(10) text-001.
select-options : <ur select option name>
selection-screen end of line.
Text element,text-001 contains the select option text to be displayed in the screen
Hope it helps.

Select Option with data length more than 45 character

Hi everyone,
Kindly suggest how to use select-option when the data type is of length 128 characters because it is truncating the input after 45 characters. The requirement is to pass 1-7 files in select option input.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Select option doest support STRING data type.
The VISIBLE LENGTH addition is also not working in this case. Also for multiple selection the input length remains the same i.e. 45 characters.
Thanks.

Select-option variable length

hi experts,
i am using select-options in my report prg.
i want to make its display length more than 8 characters since select-option variable can be upto 8 characters long.
how can i achieve this?
thanx in advance...
Thanx & Regards,
Viral Patel

For technical limits on SELECT-OPTIONS read SAP documentation ([SELECT-OPTIONS|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPSELECT-OPTIONS.htm])
The name of the selection criterion selcrit is limited to a maximum of 8 characters. This statement is allowed in the global declaration part of executable programs, function groups, and module-pools. In function groups and module-pools it is only allowed within the definition of an independent selection screen. In executable programs it is otherwise automatically assigned to the standard selection screen.
and
Two input fields with the name selcrit-low and selcrit-high are created on the current selection screen using a matching external data type in a new line at positions 35 and 60. The length of the input fields bases upon the length of the data type which is defined after FOR. The maximum length of the input fields is 45. The maximum visible length of the input fields is, depending on the nesting depth, in blocks with frames between 10 and 18. If the length is larger than the maximum visible length, then the content is scrollable.
So if your field (the field after the FOR option) is less than 8 character the visible length will be less than 8, you may use another field with 8 character, but you will have to map it to the correct field length (in AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON so, fill a TYPE RANGE internal table that you will use in following statements) you may also need to manage the search-help in your code (may work without problem if no conversion exit and character type field, else manage the AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST)

searched in forum but i couldnot get the answer.
please help
thanks in advance.

hi,
actual length of my field is 24 but it is allowing me to see till 18 only.
nothing else is there in that line.

How To... Change the Data Type for a SELECT-OPTIONS at run time.

Hello,
I am trying to restrict the values available for entry into a SELECT-OPTIONS at run time depending on user input.
The logic is as follows. The user has two input fields. A PARAMETER field which has the type RSDIOBJNM and allows them to choose an InfoObject. And the user has a SELECT-OPTIONS field to allow them to select the Characteristic values for that InfoObject.
I would like the following example to be possible:
The user enters 0MATERIAL into the PARAMETER. When the user clicks on the SELECT-OPTIONS control code will derive a list of possible options the user can enter in the SELECT-OPTIONS. In this case only values found in the master data or at least no values greater than 18 characters.
I have looked at the following function module SELECT_OPTIONS_RESTRICT and this do not appear to be helpful as they only restrict on the signs allowed for the values (unless I misunderstand, it is a complex function module!).
The code I have so far is (thus the user enters a InfoObject into p_char1 and the select options so_char1 should only accept active values of that InfoObject):
declaration of variables for user interface
DATA c_char(32) TYPE c.
declaration of count variable
DATA i_count TYPE i.
declaration of user interface
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK a1 WITH FRAME TITLE text-001.
    PARAMETERS: p_ipack TYPE RSLOGDPID.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK a1.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK b1 WITH FRAME TITLE text-002.
    PARAMETERS: p_char1 TYPE RSDIOBJNM.
    SELECT-OPTIONS: so_char1 for c_char NO INTERVALS.
    PARAMETERS: p_char2 TYPE RSDIOBJNM.
    SELECT-OPTIONS: so_char2 for c_char NO INTERVALS.
    PARAMETERS: p_char3 TYPE RSDIOBJNM.
    SELECT-OPTIONS: so_char3 for c_char NO INTERVALS.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK b1.
Is what I am trying to do possible???
Thanks for any help. Ross.

You really want to restrict possible values of a select-option based on another field, not change the length of type of the select-option field, right?
Here is what you do: Code a custom F4 value help for the select-option at event AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE REQUEST FOR.. The first thing you do here is read the value of the parameter field (p_ipack in your example). You can use function module DYNP_VALUES_READ. Based on this value, you can propose values for the select-option fields. Note that the use can still enter whatever s(he) wishes in to the select-option field without pressing F4. In this case, you will have to code some input validations taking into account the value in the p_ipack field.

Checking against Select-Options with "CP" using "IF value IN select_option"

Dear experts,
first of all: I'm sorry, if this question already should have been asked and answered!
I tried quite a lot of search terms but didn't find anything helpful.
We are using a statement like "IF value IN select_option" to perform comparisons after the Select-Options have been used in a SELECT statement. This logical expression fails (compared to the results of the DB-SELECT) whenever a select-option line contains the option CP (Contains Pattern). To be more specific: The case sensitivity of the LOW value doesn't seem to play a role any more. A variable with the value 'ABCD' would be positively checked against a select-option with OPTION 'CP' and LOW 'abc*', whereas this value wouldn't have been selected if the select-option had been used in a DB-SELECT.
Does anybody know a workaround?
Thanks in advance
Andreas

Dear Keshav,
it's an own field in an own table, defined as CHAR of length 140 (lowercase allowed), reflecting to a line of remittance info of an account statement. A regular Select-Option for this field is provided in a report which works perfectly fine regarding the case sensitivity. For reasons I don't want to point out in detail we need to check a value in this field against the select-option without selecting it from the db again.
Let's assume that a field remittance_info contains the value 'ABCD'.
A line of the select-option table looks like this:
select_option_table-SIGN = 'I'
select_option_table-OPTION = 'CP'
select_option_table-LOW = 'abc*'.
Then an ABAP statement such as
IF remittance_info IN select_option_table.
* would be true !!!
ENDIF.
but wouldn't deliver a result in a SELECT such as
SELECT * FROM my_table INTO TABLE my_internal_table WHERE remittance_info IN select_option_table.
because of the differences in lower/upper case.
regards
Andreas

About select option

Hi experts,
In my alv report there is one field SERNR serial number, for this i have to put select option. My problem is this field doesn't exist in the table(Zmanifest) from where i'm fetching data. So i'm not able to mention this select option in my select query for that particular table. This field is existing in EQUI table and have no relation defined between zmanifest table & EQUI.
In my internal table i have all fields of zmanifest & this sernr; to fulfill this field logic is
Serial Number is combination of P_PREFIX-(dash)P_SERIAL fields in zmanifest. I have fetch all data including SERNR by above logic at my grid; but facing problem in defining SELECT-OPTIONS for Sernr.
Please help.
Points Sure.
Anshuman

Hi,
do like this.
take the lenght of P_PREFIX
take the lenght of P_SERIAL
add the length.
for exmaple :
P_PREFIX size is 4.
P_SERIAL size is 10
now declare the variable like this.
data : v_selop(15).
Note : 4101 = 15, so i declared the variable with lenght of 15.
select-options : so_field for v_selop.
now use off-set in your select query like this:
where PREFIX = v_selop+0(4)
   and SERIAL = v_selop+5(10)
it will work if you are using variable v_selop as a parameter else if you are using select option you have to break v_selop into two different select option like this:
s_prefix type prefix,
s_serial type serial.
loop at v_selop.
s_prefix-* = v_selop-. "      ( = sign, option)
s_serial-* = v_selop-*.
s_prefix-low = v_selop-low+0(4).
s_serial-low = v_selop-low+5(10).
s_prefix-high = v_selop-high+0(4).
s_serial-high = v_selop-high+5(10).
endloop.
now use following select query
where PREFIX in s_prefix
   and SERIAL in s_serial.
it will surely wrok.

Multiple records in select options-Urgent help

Hi all,
Iam using the following function module to get the set values. I need to pass multiple values in select options(ie) select options with no intervals. to the function module parameter Shortname. I have declared the variable which has to be passed as
S_SETID FOR SETHEADER-SETNAME NO INTERVALS.
The problem is when i use S_SETID-LOW the value is passed to the function module , but if multiple data is entered in the input then how to pass all the data to the function module. Please Help.

Hi,
Declare the Range in the Function module , then you can pass that Select-option fields to that ranges and use that in the Function module.
Or you can use the RANGE_C8 for the Select-optios in the Function module, you can declare the Internal table with the type of RANGE_C8 in the tables parameter, then pass the Select-option to this Internal table
If you want more length field then search based on RANGE_* then you will get all the Range Structure.

How can I re-display my selected option?

In my jsp, I gain option values for a list of 'types' and 'names'
If the currentType = null I do not show the form that accepts the 'names'.
When a type is selected the Action class calls the getMethod in the ActionForm
and upon success returns to the jsp page and presents the 'name' form.
Unfortunately the 'type' form redisplays the first type in the list and not the
currentType.
Question. How can I set the selected option in my form to display the currentType?

<jsp:useBean
id="typesBean"
scope="session"
class="com.aaa.zzz.refdata.beans.CPartyTypesBean" >
<jsp:setProperty name="typesBean" property="*" />
</jsp:useBean>
<%
CPartyTypesBean typeBean = (CPartyTypesBean) session.getValue("typesBean");
String[] PicklistTypes = typeBean.getTypes();
%>

<jsp:useBean
id="pb"
scope="session"
class="com.aaa.zzz.refdata.beans.CPartyPicklistBean" >
</jsp:useBean>
<jsp:setProperty name="pb" property="*" />
<%
String currentType = pb.getType();
String currentName = pb.getName();
%>
<html:form action="/typeAction" focus="type">
<table>
<tr>
<td WIDTH="20%">
Picklist Type
</td>
<td WIDTH="30%">
<select name="type">
<%
for(int i=0; i<PicklistTypes.length; i++)
out.println("<option>" + PicklistTypes[i] + "</option>");
%>
</select>
</td>
<td WIDTH="20%">
<html:submit property="submit" value="GetType"/>
</td>
<td WIDTH="30%">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</html:form>
<%
if (currentType != null)
%>
<html:form action="/nameAction" focus="name">

Thanks Beattris, I guess 'selected' is the obvious answer but what I was looking for was
how to apply 'selected' to the loop that prints my options.
However I figured it out and did this:
<%
for(int i=0; i<PicklistTypes.length; i++)
String sel = null;
if(currentType != null && currentType.compareTo(PicklistTypes)==0)
sel = " SELECTED>";
else
sel = ">";
out.println("<option value=" + PicklistTypes[i] + sel + PicklistTypes[i]+"</option>");
%>

Select-options in sap

any one plz tell me for what <b>SIGN</b> is used for in select-options .

Hi sai
This statement defines an internal table sel with a fixed structure which consists of the fields sel-SIGN, sel-OPTION, sel-LOW and sel-HIGH. While sel-SIGN and sel-OPTION have a fixed format (type character, length 1 and 2 respectively), sel-LOW and sel-HIGH inherit the type and length of their reference field f in variant 1.
... DEFAULT g ... OPTION op ... SIGN s
(xx is OPTION, i.e. one of the values EQ,NE,CP,NP,GE,LT,LE,GT); s is SIGN, i.e. one of the values I or E)
Effect
Similar to "... DEFAULT g", except that the system also proposes the specified selection option and SIGN.
You can specify the additions OPTION and SIGN in any order or omit them. The standard OPTION is EQ, the standard SIGN is I.
Example
DATA CITY(20).
SELECT-OPTIONS SO_CITY FOR CITY DEFAULT 'SAN*'
OPTION CP SIGN E.
On the selection screen, this results in an entry specifying that cities not beginning with "SAN" are selected.
Notes
The option op and SIGN s must be specified without quotation marks.
Addition 3
... DEFAULT g TO h
Effect
Proposes the range from g to h when the report is called.
Addition 4
... DEFAULT g TO h ... OPTION op ... SIGN s
(op is OPTION, that is, one of the values EQ,NE,CP,NP,GE,LT,LE,GT); s is SIGN, i.e. one of the values I or E).
Effect
Similar to "DEFAULT g TO h", except that the system proposes the specified selection option and SIGN.
You can specify the additions OPTION and SIGN in any order or omit them. The default OPTION is BT, the default SIGN is I.
Example
DATA WORD(20).
SELECT-OPTIONS SO_WORD FOR WORD DEFAULT 'SPRING' TO 'SUMMER'
OPTION NB SIGN I.
On the selection screen, this results in an entry specifying that the words between "SPRING" and "SUMMER" are excluded.
The option xx and SIGN s must be specified without quotation marks.

Default Values for Select-options In Webdynpro-ABAP

Hi Freinds,
Kindly,Help me in setting the Default values for the Select-options in Webdynpro ABAP.
Here the Node and the Attributes are Created Dynamically, and then Displayed Select-options Component View.
Regards,
Xavier.P

Xavier Reddy Penta sent me this question via email and I answered it directly yesterday. Here is the solution that I provided to him, so that it is stored with the original question:
I believe your problem is that you are not setting the value into the range correctly. You are setting it directly into the field symbol of the range like such:
<FS> = L_STRING2.
But ranges are deep objects. They have four fields: Sign, Option, High, and Low. This is from the online help:
1.     sign of type c and length 1. The content of sign determines for every row whether the result of the condition formulated in the column is included or excluded in the entire resulting set for all rows. Evaluable values are "I" for include and "E" for exclude.
2.     option of type c and length 2. option contains the selection option for the condition of the row in form of logical operators. Analyzable operators are "EQ", "NE", "GE", "GT", "LE", "LT", "CP" and "NP" if column high is initial, and "BT", "NB" if column high is not initial. With the options "CP" and "NP", the data type of the columns low and high must be of the data type c, and special rules apply for entries on the selection screen.
3.     low of the data type defined after FOR. This column is designated for the comparison value or the lower interval limitation.
4.     high of the data type defined after FOR. This column is designated for the upper interval limitation.
So when you are moving the value into the field symbol you are setting it into the sign column.
Here is an example of how you can access the components of the range:
* create a range table that consists of this new data element
    lt_range_table =
      wd_this->lv_sel_handler->create_range_table(
           i_typename = l_typename ).
