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-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 ____________.

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:
select * into corresponding fields of table g_t_mara
from mara
where
matnr in s_matnr.
and
select * into corresponding fields of table g_t_mara
from mara
where
matnr eq p_matnr.
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.

Select option and parameter.

I have select options and parameters in my selection screen. While extracting the data I am using both the select option and a parameter in where condition. But that select statement is not returning any data. Could any body tell me what might be the reason.
Thanks,
bsv.

Hi,
See this example code it works.
tables spfli.
parameters p_carrid type spfli-carrid obligatory.
select-options s_connid for spfli-connid.
data itab type table of spfli with header line.
select *
   from spfli into table itab
where carrid eq p_carrid
   and connid in s_connid.
loop at itab.
write: / itab-carrid,
           itab-connid.
endloop.
Note : Dont leave blank for parameters because it take as space and when you select from table it is unsuccessful.

How to set a select option's item as invisible (using a method code)

Hi there,
I need to hide parameters and select option fields, but Iu2019m using the select_option component to add all items to the layout using just one View Container Element.
I could use to hide the View Container Element setting the property visible, but I need to hide fields with certain conditions. I also could add one View Container Element for each select option, but I have many... I wish I could make in other way.
Iu2019ve checked the Definitions of the Interface IF_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS and the Ulli Hoffmannu2019s book and I have found no help at all.
Thanks in advance,
Filipe Torres
Edited by: Filipe Torres on Sep 15, 2008 12:34 AM

Thank you, this helps but will solve just part of my problem. I'm using many views and to pass the values from those select options and parameters I just declare them in the first view... The other answer helps me more that shows how to remove one element. I was looking for a hide feature and not remove, but seems that I have to remove.

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.

                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.

How to create a Select-option and a pushbutton together

Hi Experts,
I have defined a selection screen in my module pool program and I am including this screen in my Module pool Dynpro. Now, my problem is that if I write the following piece of code to define my selection screen, it gives me an error that "Error when generating the selection screen "1010" of report "ZTESTHIM_MOD" ".
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF SCREEN 1010 AS SUBSCREEN.
SELECT-OPTIONS: s_matnr FOR mara-matnr NO INTERVALS,
                s_matkl FOR mara-matkl NO INTERVALS,
                s_mtart FOR mara-mtart NO INTERVALS,
                s_ersda FOR mara-ersda NO INTERVALS.
SELECTION-SCREEN PUSHBUTTON 10(5) pubu USER-COMMAND test.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF SCREEN 1010.
Please help me whats the reason for this.
Also, if I define the select-options within a block and pushbutton outside it, the code is working fine.
The problem is that I want a select-option and a pushbutton in the same line.
Please help me out.
Useful answers will be duly rewarded.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Himanshu

Hi,
You have declared so many select options in one line and also you want to include a push button in the same line, this is not possible.
Since the visible lenght of the line is less than the number of fields you want to display this will not be possible.
What you can do is instead group then using
SELECTIOn-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK b1.
here use lines
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK b1

Pass select option and parameter with submit

Hello,
I have two programs and what i have to do is to use the selection screen information from program A and submit it to program B so that this second program will generate a report with this information.
After program B is executed it creates some files in a server, which i will have to use later in program A. I cannot modify the program B since its not part of the requirement.
But the thing is that i am having problems when submiting a select option and a parameter together.
It would be really useful if someone could give some examples of this.
Example of what i want to do:
SUBMIT PROGRAM_B
WITH S_MATNR EQ S_MATNR ->pass all the values from a select option.
WITH P_WERKS EQ P_WERKS ->pass a single value from a parameter.
AND RETURN
Regards,
Roberto

Hi,
Try this for select-options:
SUBMIT PROGRAM_B
WITH S_MATNR *IN* S_MATNR ->pass all the values from a select option.
WITH P_WERKS EQ P_WERKS ->pass a single value from a parameter.
AND RETURN
Hope it helps.

Select-options and ranges?
When, where and how to use them ?
I know the basic differences, but i need to know in deep .
could u give me the informatin with a scenario please ?
Thanks in advance

HI
SELECT-OPTIONS: Declare an internal table that is also linked to input fields on a selection screen
RANGES: Declare an internal table with the same structure as in select-options, but without linking it to a selection screen.

SELECT-OPTIONS and data collection

Hi All,
I have one inputfield (say users) via SELECT-OPTIONS and it goes to an internal table called "userlist" with values USER1, USER2 etc...(Example)
Now, when I query the database with "userlist" as the input, I'm not able to do so because SELECT-OPTIONS contains an Internal table with values LOW, HIGH etc...
So my input value goes like this IEQUSER1, IEQUSER2 etc......
Could anyone tell me what should I do in order to get USER1, USER2 etc.
Thanks in advance,
Pradeep

Hi All,
Sorry. I'm getting the error: 'Line structure of table USERLIST is incorrect'.
My coding is as follows:
tables : usr02.
data: begin of users,
    users type XUBNAME,
end of users.
data : it_usr02 like table of usr02.
data : l_userlist type xubname,    "This is a data elemnt thats already in the system of type BNAME
         p_userlist like l_userlist.
select-options: userlist for users.
loop at userlist into l_userlist.
    select * from usr02 into corresponding fields of table it_usr02 where bname in userlist.
endloop.
ENDFUNCTION.
Could you please help?

Passing SELECT-OPTIONS and Internal Tables to SUBROUTINES

Hi Guys
In the code below my colleague has created her own table types in order to pass a select option and internal tables to her subroutine. Is there an easier way of making them known to the subroutine.
data : v_vbeln type vbeln_vf,
      it_bdoc type table of vbrp,
      it_t006 type table of t006a,
      wa_bdoc type vbrp,
      wa_t006 type t006a,
      it_bdoc2 type table of zsswathi_st_vbeln,
      wa_bdoc2 type zsswathi_st_vbeln

                      it_bdoc2
                      it_t006.
loop at it_bdoc2 into wa_bdoc2.
form bdoc using f_s_vbeln type ZSWATHI_ST_SELECT_OPTION_TA_TY       " all these are table types. for select options, a structure is created and then a table type for it is created.
        changing f_it_bdoc type zswathi_vbrp_ty_ta
                 f_it_bdoc2 type zswathi_vbeln_ty_ta
                  f_it_t006 type ZSWATHI_T006_TA_TY.
select * from vbrp into table f_it_bdoc where vbeln in f_s_vbeln.
      if f_it_bdoc is not initial.
      select vbeln sum( netwr ) prsdt from vbrp into table f_it_bdoc2 where vbeln in f_s_vbeln group by vbeln prsdt.
      sort f_it_bdoc2 by vbeln.
      "select * from t006a into table it_t006 for all entries in it_bdoc where msehi = it_bdoc-vrkme.
      select * from t006a into table f_it_t006 for all entries in f_it_bdoc where msehi = f_it_bdoc-vrkme.
   endif.
    endform.

Hi Brett,
1. you can use a select-options-range in a FORM subroutine also without passing it as a parameter because parameters and select-option range tables are global fields in their program.
2. If you need a parameter, declare it as type table or type standard table or type any table. You do not need any special table type.
