Checkbox is just like a single character TYPE character field, nothing more. When checked it will have the value 'X', when not checked, it will be space.

Hi all,

Thank you for replying to my question. I have some more doubt.

Should I group them or give a name to the check box or should i give same name for the checkboxes.

Each checkbox is a separate input field, so each should have a different name and corresponding DATA statement in the ABAP program.

Grouping only comes into play when dealing with radiobuttons.

Hi,

Thank You for answering me. I have some more doubt. Should I group them like radio button. Or should I give the same name for the checkboxes. Or can I give different name for checkboxes.

As I said, earlier, no need to group like you do with radiobuttons, you need to give each checkbox a different name because they are just like any other input field, the names must be unique..
