Accept multiple input values for a input field

Hi All,

I have a input field on the screen, I want it to accept multiple input values & store it into a internal table. Kindly guide me on how to accomplish this..

Thanks,

Deepak

You can use a select-option (perhaps with restrictions), it's just an internal table

Hi Max,

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried to use the SELECT-OPTIONS in my program but I get the following error.

"SELECT-OPTIONS is only allowed between BEGIN/END OF SCREEN for programs with type other than 1".

Am not sure, why this error is coming, I tried putting SELECT-OPTIONS in the pbo module, pai module, top include also but it throws the same error. If I use BEGIN-OF SCREEN & END OF SCREEN, then i get screen generation error. Kindly help me with this.

Regards,

Deepak

So, how are you going to differentiate the values coming from the screen?

Hi Rob,

Sorry, I did not get you.. I access the field values through their names directly in my program & so far it is working for me.. But in this particular case I need to accept multiple values for an input field & then copy it to a internal table & pass it to a function module. Can you put a code snippet in here or give me some links which shows the proper usage of SELECT-OPTIONS.. the examples in the system do not properly show the implementation.

Thanks,

Deepak

SELECT-OPTIONS statament is allowed in a selection-screen only, so you can't place it directly in a dynpro.

You need to define a selection-screen as subscreen and call this subscreen in your dynpro

TABLES: T001.

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF SCREEN 0100 AS SUBSCREEN.
 SELECT-OPTIONS: S_BUKRS FOR T001-BUKRS.
SELECTION-SCREEN END   OF SCREEN 0100.

You can place the definition in the top-include, then in your screen you need to define an area for a subscreen and call it:

PROCESS PBO.
  CALL SUBECREEN <subarea> INCLUDING SY-REPID '0100'.
PROCESS PAI.
  CALL SUBECREEN <subarea>.

In this way the selection-screen will be included in your main screen, else you can use the command CALL SELECTION-SCREEN (sse the help) in order to call it separatly.
