SELECT-OPTIONS for variables that cannot have a range

Hi all,
There is an option to show only one input-field for a select-options declaration by using the 'no intervals' option. But it is still possible for the user to specify ranges when doing multiple selections (i.e. specify intervals for the variable).
However, if I have a variable that implicitly does not have ranges, (e.g. 'Arjun' TO 'Shankar' makes no sense at all), I want to let the user do multiple selections for it, without allowing him/her to enter ranges for it.
Can I do this in a selection screen in any way (even if it involves not using select-options)? And if yes, how?

Use this:
SELECT-OPTIONS xxxx FOR yyyy NO INTERVALS
NO-EXTENSION.

Selection option for variable entry in BEx in 2004s

Hi All,
Have any of you noticed that the selection option functionality for variable entry while creating a variable does not allow wild card entry,Even though you create the variable with selection option as input.
In 3.5 we had option the option "contains the pattern " but in 2004s its not available in the variable entry screen.

Hello Guys,
When I posted this thread we were upgrading to SP11, now I am in the middle of another upgrade (SP15) and I still notice that wild card option is yet to be made available for a variable of type selection option.
Back then I had sent a message to SAP and was told that the functionality would be rolled out in new SP's. I am very curious as too how others are handling this problem, as they are bound to be reports for which such variables are a must.
P.S - The option has been made available

Select-options for date field.

Hi all,
i need to give select options for Date field.How can i give that.
Thanks & Regards
Ravi.

Hi Ravi,
Use the Component WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS to include select options in Web Dynpro ABAP. Follow these steps:
1. In your Component , "Used Componet" tab add Component WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS . Component Use can be any name that you want to give, eg SELECT_OPTIONS
2. Go to the View where you want to include the Date Select Options. I am assuming that you already have an Attribute of Type DATS in your context.
3. View: Properties Tab:Create Controller Usage and select
SELECT_OPTIONS     WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS
SELECT_OPTIONS     WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS     INTERFACECONTROLLER
4. View Layout Tab:Include a View Container. In this view container we will show the Date Select Options.
5. View Attributes Tab: Create Following two attributes:
M_HANDLER type IF_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS
M_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS type IWCI_WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS
6: View Methods Tab: Create a method eg CREATE_SELECTION_SCREEN. Call this method in the WDDOINIT of the view.

Missing select-options for kna1-kunnr

Hi,
Has anybody ever come across this before ?
I've modified a program to add a new select options for kna1-kunnr and added a bit of code that processes the value entered.
In "development" it all tested OK and the program was transported up to "test".
In "test" the users tested and everything was OK.
The program was eventually transported up to "production" but when I run it in production the select-options for kna1-kunnr does not appear on the selection screen ? However, the when I run the program the additional bit of code that I also included does actually execute.
I haven't been able to look at the code yet because SE38 and SE80 are disabled in "production".
It sounds to me that the selection screen has somehow not generated correctly when the program was transported into production but the transport logs didn't display any errors or warnings. I have also had the program retransported into production but I still can't see the select-options.
There are no variants for the program and I'm not getting any security issues on the SU53.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks
Stan

Hi,
You can try system->staus->program name. Double click on program name and see if you enter abap editor. You can check your code there.
Or else just create another transport in development and send to production

MSS Time Approval - multiple (different) selection options for manager?

Hi all
I am setting up MSS Time Approval delegation in ERP2005 without workflow, leave request, nor portal development environment set up.
In this case, the customer needs to have multiple selection options for who to approve:
1. The manager's direct reports (standard functionality)
2. All subordinates, all levels down
3. Delegate's (manager or non-manager) view of a particular (other) manager's direct reports
3b. This might extend to a set of different delegation selections
4. Add or remove certain individuals
Now, getting 3. and 4. to work was simple using the BAdI (I think the enhancement spot is named APPR_CUST), method ...-edit_selection, but I am having difficulties with 2. and 3b. Now I am thinking along these lines, and I would greatly appreciate your input:
A. It seems that the MSS "Approve working time" app only loads the data selection at the entry into this screen (INIT command from portal), using the start perspective determined for example by the IMG for defining the approval profile <-> view. My debugging suggests that the view change from the drop down menu (CHANGE_PERSPECTIVE command) only picks a different way to present the same data set.
Could anybody please confirm or contradict this conclusion?
B. Is it possible to present the entire "Approve working time" section in MSS in multiple different copies so that they would all generate an INIT command? Or is it possible to copy and modify the entire MSS tab, resulting in an ESS tab, one MSS, one "D"SS, one "A"SS (well, not suggesting that the top manager is one, but you get the drift...) and so on?
If either of this were possible, it would be simple to make two modifications, one at the beginning of the FM called by the portal and one at the FM that returns the start perspective.
So far I have been trying to catch and alter the CHANGE_PERSPECTIVE command into an INIT in the back end, but the Time Approval functionality is a bit too complex for me to feel entirely comfortable with this approach.
Your input is much appreciated!
Kind regards
Niclas Arndt

We too are using MSS for time approval of time entered via ESS. We are on ECC 6.0 for the backend (no enhancement packs, at least not yet), currently sp stack 10 with hrsp 24, and EP 7.0 with stack 10 for the ESS/MSS business packages. We are using the standard MSS UWL functionality for the approval, so it is workflow-based in my understanding.
In other parts of MSS, the managers can see a few levels deep in the organization structure, based upon the definition we gave for their structural profiles. For instance, in the team calendar/overview, or other team information, they have a choice for multiple levels or only direct reports. However, in the time approval application, only direct reports are shown, so if a manager goes on vacation, at present the only way to cover time approvals for that manager's employees appears to be to temporarily assign a new 'chief' to that org unit, so HR involvement becomes necessary. The manager doesn't have any method for delegating the approval or other MSS authorities. We were hoping that by allowing multiple levels in the structural profile, such approvals would "roll up" to the next level, i.e. the manager's supervisor, so the next level manager could act as a backup to his/her managers on vacation. That doesn't work, however.
We have heard that a delegation feature for MSS will be available in an upcoming release, but I haven't found any information regarding whether that requires an upgrade, an enhancement pack, a later service pack level, or what or when that functionality will be available. Does anyone know anything about that?
Regards,
Matt

Select-options for time stamp

Any ideas on which data element to be used for select-options for timestamp on the screen so that a user is able to f4 help too.
i am using data element 'tzntstmps' but i am not getting f4 help for it.

Hello Trivenn
I do not think it makes sense to search for any other timestamp data element which might be part of a search help.
TZNTSTMPS = UTC Time Stamp in Short Form (YYYYMMDDhhmmss)
How could such a search help look like? A calendar control combined with some kind of "time control"?
You may facilitate the entry of time stamps in such a way that if the user enters only a date in the LOW field (e.g. 20080422 without time) you change it AT SELECTION-SCREEN (PBO of your selection screen to 20080422000000).
Correspondingly, you change a date value (e.g. 20080422) at the HIGH field into 20080422235959).
If, however, the user enters already a complete timestamp you do not change anything.
Regards
Uwe

Multiple select options for an input field

Hi All,
We have a requirement where in we need to provide multiple select options for an input field in a BSP application and get output relevant to all the given inputs(do not require range).
Please do let me know how to solve this.
Thanks & Regards,
Lavanya .

Hi,
The requirement is : Suppose there is a input field PLANT.
If we give input for plant it gives related output.
Now if it is required to give 5 or 6 inputs..like plant1,plant2...plant6 and get the output related to all 6 inputs.
(Like we implement in ABAP)
Please do let me know how can this be implemented in BSP.

Restrict Select-Options for Logical Database field

The way we restrict select options for custom defined select option fields on selection screen.. can we restrict select options for standard Logical Database fields?
i.e. report uses PNPCE logical database and has field called PERNR. I want to restrict select options for this PERNR field so that it has options for 'Select single values' only.

How to create select-options for 3 fields out of 5 by FREE_SELECTIONS_INIT

Hi Experts,
I am using the Function Modules FREE_SELECTIONS_INIT and FREE_SELECTIONS_DIALOG to create the select-options dynamically on the selection screen.
My problem is that I am passing a field list of 10 fields in the FIELDS_TAB of the function.
Now it creates the select-options for all 10 fields. I want to create select-options for only 5 fields initially and let the user select out of the remaining 5 fields to create the select-options.
How to achieve this.?
I tried by passing the 5 fields in FIELDS_NOT_SELECTED table but they get hidden and once hidden I am not able to get them back in my field list.
Please help me out.
Useful answers will be suitably rewarded.
Thanks in advance.

Selection options for field display text instead of key

Hi All,
In the selection screen in my reports, when the user clicks on the selection options for one the fields to display the possible values they can use. Instead of the key the pop up box only displays the text for that field. This is an issue because one of the fields is equipment number and the user needs to be able to see the key not the descriptions. This is occurring in multiple reports and for multiple fields. I haven't been able to find anything in the infoobject properties or the query properties to change this.
Please help!

Steps to get SELECT-OPTIONS in module pool programs.
1.Start one dialog program with SAPMZ_001.
Place the below code in the TOP include of the dialog program.
TABLES marc.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF SCREEN 3200 AS SUBSCREEN.
SELECT-OPTIONS: werks FOR marc-werks.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF SCREEN 3200.
2 .Create one screen 3000.
Go to Layout of the screen and Define subscreen area on the screen and Name it as l_subscreen.
Place the below code in the Flow logic of the screen.
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
CALL SUBSCREEN l_subscreen INCLUDING 'SAPMZ_001' '3200'.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
CALL SUBSCREEN l_subscreen.
Activate all.
Create Transaction code for the dialog program .
Execute the transaction code. You will see the select-option for werks how we see on Selection-screen.

Hi,
Use FM 'RS_REFRESH_FROM_SELECTOPTIONS'

      REFRESH RSPAR.
      CALL FUNCTION 'RS_REFRESH_FROM_SELECTOPTIONS'
          EXPORTING
            CURR_REPORT           = 'prog name'
    IMPORTING
      SP                    =
          TABLES
            SELECTION_TABLE       = RSPAR
         EXCEPTIONS
           NOT_FOUND             = 1
           NO_REPORT             = 2
           OTHERS                = 3.
      IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
   MESSAGE I000.
      ENDIF.
In table parameter you ll get the all entries entered .
Check out the values with respective tables.If value is not correct tk it into internal table
else proceed ahead. You can Remove incorrect entries this way.

Copy 'Favorites' in 'Select Values for Variables' screen

I need to copy a list that I created as a 'Favorite' in the 'Select Values for Variables' screen for Customer to all the other userids so that everyone is using the same list of customers. Can someone tell me the table(s) where these values are stored? Is there a function module or program available that copies 'Favorites'.
It would be nice if you could select if the 'Favorites' you create can be 'Global'.
Thanks.

the variant values are stored in RSRPARAMETRIZA. the field content stores in XML format. you can write an ABAP program to read and update it.

Limit selection list for variables

Hello Experts.
Is there a way to limit the selection list for variables? For example, there are many possible currency values for 0CURRENCY, but I want allow the user to choose only one of these choices USD, EUR, or HKD. I would rather not do a validation check subsequent to the users making their selection.
I must use 0CURRENCY rather than copying it to another characteristic and entering only those three keys in master data.
Any ideas?
Kind regards,
Aron
Edited by: Aron Weaver on Oct 1, 2010 1:08 AM

If you are using the standard info object which is referring to '0CURRENCY' then it mayn't be possible to restrict the 'F4' list to few currencies in the standard BEx environment. There are couple of options to limit the 'F4' selections using the web template /BSP technology.
