use the command;

parameters: p_cb as check-box. "try with checkbox(without hyphen if it doesnt work).

There is no concept of grouping in checkboxes.

hi,

We have to write few lines of code for making checkboxes to behave like radio buttons.

  parameters : p_chk1 as checkbox user-command ABCD default 'X',
               p_chk2 as checkbox user-command PQRS.

  data: v_clk1 type c value 'X',
        v_clk2 type c.

  at selection-screen output.

   if v_clk1 = 'X'.
     p_chk1 = 'X'.
   else.
     p_chk1 = ' '.
   endif.
  if v_clk2 = 'X'.
    p_chk2 = 'X'.
  else.
    p_chk2 = ' '.
  endif.
  at selection-screen.

    case sy-ucomm.
      when 'ABCD'.
        if p_chk1 = 'X'.
          v_clk1 = 'X'.
          v_clk2 = ' '.
        else.
          v_clk1 =  ' '.
          v_clk2 = 'X'.
        endif.
      when 'PQRS'.
       if p_chk2 = 'X'.
          v_clk2 = 'X'.
          v_clk1 = ' '.
       else.
          v_clk2 = ' '.
          v_clk1 = 'X'.
       endif.

Hi,

You can not declare checkboxes under radiobuttons.

You can get the similar functionality which you get for radiobuttons to the checkboxes also (making into a group) by few lines of code which i have given in my earlier post.

Hello Rams

Probably you can achieve that your checkboxes behave like radiobuttons using user-commands attached to the checkboxes.

Yet this makes absolutely no sense to me, because it is violating the SAP standards for creating user interfaces.

Exclusive options (XOR) are represented using radio-buttons, whereas alternative options (OR) are represented as checkboxes.

So do not waste your time to change things where the entire SAP community has become familiar with for decades (not to speak of all the Windows/Mac/Linux users around the world).
