function to copy a parameter

Former Member — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 15:06:56 GMT

hi everybody

is there any fm to copy a parameter on a selection screen

there are 2 parameters : p_file and p_file2

the user is selecting a directory in p_file and I want this directory to be copied to p_file2 when the user presses Enter on p_file, meaning evrytime the user selects a new directory, p_file2 gets populated with the new directory

Try this way...

at selection-screen on p_file.

p_file2 = p_file.

hi,

you only need these lines:

PARAMETERS p_file ... USER-COMMAND uc01 .

AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.

p_file2 = p_file.

hope this helps

in fact i didnt need the exact copy of p_file into p_file2

p_file should be copied into p_file2 but p_file2 should be added some extension with it
