Enhance Standard Text Elements / Selection Text

Former Member — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 11:11:56 GMT

Dear experts,

I'm creating a enhancement spot were I need to add a new parameter in the selection screen. I was wondering how can I enhance the selection text for this new parameter.

Thanks in advance!!

e.g.: SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT /1(50)

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately I can't use this option because the text of the comment would have to be filled in the AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.; as this is an enhancement spot I can't insert any code in the main AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT event.

Any suggestion???

Thanks!!

No . Comment can be given when you are creating the selection screen. But again you need to create text symbol here and you will be stuck 😮

SELECTION-SCREEN : BEGIN OF LINE,
COMMENT 1(10) text-100 for FIELD P_matnr.
PARAMETERS : P_matnr type matnr.

SELECTION-SCREEN : end OF LINE.

Thanks for your answer Kumar,

Indeed, the way of creating the comment in the selection is with the text symbol. I was wondering if there's a way of enhancing the standard.

Thanks!

I think perhaps I got the answer for you here.

Then I opened one of the selection screen and found that the labels are named as

%_<parameter_name>_%_APP_%-TEXT
 if your parameter is p_matnr then you text will be
 %_P_MATNR_%_APP_%-TEXT

Just intialize this variable with some value and you are done .

Thanks for posting. I learnt something new today
