HI Sojhons,

To over come confusion select options and parameters are usind like S_xxx for select options and P_xxxxx for Parameter.

That's it. It's just naming convention.

Hope this clear's your doubt.

Thank you,

Pavan.

Hi,

All these are standard naming conventions.

P stands for Paramater.

S Stands for Select Options.

Similarly there are many naming conventions like this.

Thank You.

Hi,

These are just naming conventions to be followed for declarations. Some of the commonly used naming conventions are :

p_XXX : for declaring parameters

s_XXX or so_XXX: for declaring select option

r_xxx or ra_XXX : for declaring range

c_xxx or co_XXX : for declaring constants

l_xxx : for declaring local variable

g_xxx : for declaring global variable

ls_XXX : for declaring local structures

gs_XXX : for declaring global structures

it_xxx :for declaring internal table

wa_xxx : for declaring work area.

here, 'XXX' can be replaced by a meaningful name for the decaration.

Hope this helps.

Rgds,

Lakshmi

HI,

This are all for easy understanding abt the coding. it may very from company to company or client to client and also person from person.

while declaring parameters for easy understanding we create the variable as P_<name> for select-options : s_<name>, Range : r<name>, local variable L_<name> internal table itab_<name> like that

Hi,

It's so simple i will explain you.

If in your requirement you need to create a parameter you need to create with P_PARAMETER NAME

like that for everything.

For a select option S_selectoption name

work area wa_ work area name

internal table it_ internaltable name.

just replace XXXX with The required names that's it.

p_XXX : for declaring parameters

s_XXX or so_XXX: for declaring select option

r_xxx or ra_XXX : for declaring range

c_xxx or co_XXX : for declaring constants

l_xxx : for declaring local variable

g_xxx : for declaring global variable

ls_XXX : for declaring local structures

gs_XXX : for declaring global structures

it_xxx :for declaring internal table

wa_xxx : for declaring work area.

Using in this way will help you understand better what are the declerations and what you had created when someone else see your code. That;s it.

Hope it clears.

Thank you,

Pavan.
