Selection screen Comment Maximum length 79 ???

Hi,
I have a requirement to write down a report instructions on a report selection screen.
Can we increase the comment length size?? it looks awkward because only half of my screen width is being filled and I have a requirement to write more than 400 characters.
Are there any alternatives?
Regards
Vara

Is this Still True, can't we put comment more than 79 characters in single line???
Please respond if any body have any clue !!!
Sas
Is there any clue???

No, you can set offset upto 83 position.
Just run this below code:
REPORT test.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 83(2) text-005."I have 'To' in text-005 and make sure length is 2
PARAMETERS: p_li AS CHECKBOX DEFAULT 'X'.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.

Hi Sid,
Only options possible in selection screen comment are:
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT [/][pos](len)
                         {text|{[text] FOR FIELD sel}}
                         [VISIBLE LENGTH vlen]
                         [MODIF ID modid]
                         [ldb_additions].
i think its not possible.

Selection-screen comment.....?`

Hi All,
I need explanation for the following statement
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 1(15) TEXT-001.
What does 1 and 15 mean in the above statement?
Regards
Dnyanesh

Hai Go through the following Document
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT fmt name.
Additions
1. ... FOR TABLE dbtab
2. ... FOR FIELD f
3. ... MODIF ID mod
4. ... ID id
Effect
Generates a comment on the selection screen. For the name name , there are two options:
name takes the form TEXT-xxx where xxx is a three-character name for a text symbol. In this case, the contents of the text symbol are displayed at runtime, i.e. the text cannot be changed dynamically. name is another eight-character name. Here, you create a field with the name name in the length specified in the format fmt< /> and it is then generated as an output field on the selection screen. The contents of these comments must therefore be set at runtime (e.g. at INITIALIZATION or - in the case of comments in the database include program DBldbSEL - in the routine INIT of the database program SAPDBldb . They can also be changed when the selection screen is being processed.
Note
The field name is generated automatically and so cannot be defined with DATA .
With comments, you must always specify a format fmt (see variant ULINE ).
Note
You must program a new line yourself via the format fmt .
Addition 1
... FOR TABLE dbtab
Note
See variation 3 (SELECTION-SCREEN SKIP).
Addition 2
... FOR FIELD f
Effect
Since the comment is assigned to a parameteror a select-option , the help display shows the documentation of the reference field if this parameter or selection option.
In addition, the comment is suppressed if the reference object was set to 'invisible' via a selection variant.
Note
In database access routines, the comment is generated whenever the reference field is output. Therefore, you should not use the addition FOR TABLE with this variant.
Example
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 10(20) TEXT-001
FOR FIELD PARM.
SELECTION-SCREEN POSITION POS_LOW.
PARAMETERS PARM LIKE SAPLANE-PLANETYPE.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.
This code displays a 20-byte long comment followed by the parameter at the normal position ( POS_LOW ) on the same line. If the user presses F1 for both objects, the documentation of SAPLANE-PLANETYPE is displayed.
Addition 3
... MODIF ID mod
Addition 4
... ID id

Trailing space when using SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT

Hi All,
I need to display a continuous text (length :130) in selection screen. I am trying with SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT option and i m aware that we can display max of 79 characters. So i split the text into length: 70 & 60 and coded as below
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 1(70) text-001.
SELECTION-SCREEN POSITION 73.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 73(60) text-002.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.
Problem is: After displaying first text (text-001), there is a gap of 10-15 characters, then second text starts (text-002). I mean, there is a trailing space.
If i give all text-001 in CAPS, then there is no trailing space. But i dont need to display the text in CAPS.
Do i need to proceed in any other way?, please provide your inputs
Vinoth

Your SAPgui to use a proportional font for texts and descriptions (where "i" is much shorter than "W") when it use a non-proportional for input fields. But it use this non-proportional font for input fields even if input is not allowed.
Try this sample to solve your problem. (But your text will be in a box)
REPORT zfontst.
CONSTANTS ctxt TYPE c LENGTH 80 VALUE 'AaBbCcDdEeFfGgHhIiJjKkLlMmNnOoPpQqRrSsTtUuVvWwXxYyZz'.
PARAMETERS: p1 TYPE c LENGTH 56.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT (2) p2a.
SELECTION-SCREEN POSITION POS_LOW.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT (56) p2.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.
PARAMETERS: p3 TYPE c LENGTH 56 MODIF ID dsp.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
p1 = ctxt.
p2 = ctxt.
p2a = 'P2'.
p3 = ctxt.
LOOP AT SCREEN.
    CASE screen-group1.
      WHEN 'DSP'.
        screen-input = '0'.
    ENDCASE.
    MODIFY SCREEN.
ENDLOOP.

ABAP Query Selection Screen Comment

Hi,
I want to display some text (just text) on Selection Screen of an abap query. If this was a regular abap program I could have simply used "SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT... " and that would have been enough. But since I dont seem to have access to Initialize event I cant use this option.
1. Is there some way I can write code which will be executed in the initialize event of the abap query
2. Is there some other way for us to just display comment (without any selection field) on the selection screen of abap query.

Hi Saquib,
Is the navigation correct ? I dont see any onfoset anywhere on se38 editor. Can you eloborate please.
Thanks and Regards,

Selection screen COMMENT font

Hello,
In a screen I have a SELECTION-SCREEN line which contains a comment, followed by a PARAMETER, followed by another comment, followed by a PARAMETER.
Here is the example code:
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 1(14) text-s01 FOR FIELD p_1.
SELECTION-SCREEN POSITION 33.
PARAMETERS: p_1 LIKE sy-uzeit DEFAULT '000001'.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 52(3) text-s02 FOR FIELD p_2.
SELECTION-SCREEN POSITION 58.
PARAMETERS: p_2 LIKE sy-uzeit DEFUALT '240000'.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.
For some reason the second COMMENT is showing with a different font. Can anyone help me understand why?
Thank you,
Nuno Silva

Hi
I test it on my system and noticed the same behavior.
text-s01 = 'TOX'
text-s02 = 'TOX'
We can notice differences between the O and X.
No idea why.
That is SAP
If you found a solution, please post it.

How to Increase the Selection screen window length width big....

How to Increase the Selection screen window length width big.... I cant able to do some enter text... because of the window size it gives error... can anyone help me out this...
Thanks in advance

hi,
Maximum size is fixed for selection-screen.
Split your text into different lines to fit it.
Create a text element for your text and write it as comments.
selection-screen begin of block b3 with frame title text-041.
selection-screen begin of line.
    parameters : p_all radiobutton group g2 default 'X'.
    selection-screen comment 10(75) text-049.
selection-screen end of line.
selection-screen begin of line.
    parameters : p_iloc radiobutton group g2.
    selection-screen comment 10(75) text-050.
selection-screen end of line.
selection-screen end of block b3.

Sailaja.

Text length at selection screen

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B1 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-000.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT /3(79) TEXT-001.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT /3(79) TEXT-002.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK B1.
in above code I can write text upto 79 length only how can I increase the length when I am increasing it from 79 to 89 it is saying that max legth is 79

COMMENT /3(79) TEXT-001. when you give 3(79) it sets the position.Just try giving COMMENT TEXT-001 and check what is happening
Go to text-001 double click on that and then delete the text you had given then you should activate it and get back to the code then again double click on text and give your text.
