Hi,

Can't you perform a AT SELECTION-SCREEN and check the content of the SELECT-OPTIONS ?

Could you please clarify your problem a bit more.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Guillaume

Hi,

There are two ways for acheiving this...

1. Create a select-option based on a data element as shown below...

data LAND1(2) TYPE C.

SELECT-OPTIONS P_LAND1 FOR LAND1.

2. To Check the field length at the AT SELECTION-SCREEN Event and raise error message when the length excees 2.

I don't think there is any other way to achieve this...

Vara

Hi,

check this :

Define the selection screen with visible length option like :

SELECT-OPTIONS s_matnr for mara-matnr VISIBLE LENGTH 5.

visible length of the field should be 5 (characters) if the database field length is more than this also.

validate the field contents at AT SELECTION SCREEN event like

loop at s_matnr

if strlen(s_matnr-low) > 5 .

error

exit.

endif.

endloop.
