Need logic for accessing select options ( range table) internal table values

tuyentran205 — Wed, 10 May 2023 13:29:27 GMT

Hi Guru,

I am new here.

I have some things that I can not understand about the relationship between range table and select option. I have been looked many references on the internet but I can not solve my problem. Could anyone explain it for me!

Thank you very much!

Let explain my problem in detail below

I have a range table with structure like this

SIGN OPTION LOW HIGH

I BT 5 10

I CP 1*
I CO ?

which value I can enter for low field when OPTION field is CO?

Also, which value for case of CN CA NA CS NS

Hi,

To my knowledge, valid operators in the OPTION field are EQ / NE / GE / GT / LE / LT / CP / NP and if the column high is not initial you can use BT / NB.

So what do you mean by CO CN CA NA CS NS ?

You are confusing

the allowed value for option in range/select-options (e.g. where var in range)
Comparison Operators for Character-Like Data Types (e.g. if var1 CO var2)

A "Ranges Table" is an internal table whose lines have a special structure (SIGN, OPTION, LOW, HIGH) and special values for SIGN and OPTION (see Raymond answer), and can be used after ABAP word "IN" in statements containing conditions (IF, CHECK, SELECT ... WHERE ... and so on).

A "Selection Criterion" is declared with ABAP keyword SELECT-OPTIONS, it is at the same time:

a special screen element in Selection Screens
a global Ranges Table (same as above)
a Header Line of the internal table - As the same name may be used to to address both the header line and the Ranges Table, sometimes it's required to prefix the name with square brackets to address the Ranges Table e.g. selopt[] ).

I understand how to valid operators in the OPTION field are EQ / NE / GE / GT / LE / LT / CP / NP

But in range table could we use options is CO/CN/ CA /NA/ CS /NS

Because I have been read some example of those things wrote in program and I also referenced this material.

I am sorry for my inclear queétion!

Please take a look to the right answer of Raymond Giuseppi.

The valid operators for OPTION field in SELECT-OPTIONS or RANGE are EQ / NE / GE / GT / LE / LT / CP / NP.

CO/CN/ CA /NA/ CS /NS are operators for comparison of strings in a logical expressions.

Note: CP as a comparison operator is not case sensitive. In a range/select option it is.
