Why cant we use string in parameters?

Re: parameters

the parameters statement will create a screen field(Selection screen). The string is a dynammic object in the sense that it doesn't have a fixed length. and you cannot create a screen element for such objects.

For Parameters , Only types C, N, X or P are allowed

you can declare that as C and give some more length


REPORT YCHATEST.
 
data  v_str(200).
 
parameters : p_str like v_str.

If there is an internal table with some strings in it.

then you can simply use the sort statement

data: begin of itab occurs 0,

string(20) type c,

end of itab.

itab-string = 'hchgugjk'.

append itab.

clear itab.

itab-string = 'dhhgugjk'.

append itab.

clear itab.

itab-string = 'shhgugjk'.

append itab.

clear itab.

itab-string = 'ahhgugjk'.

append itab.

clear itab.

write:/ 'Before sorting'.

loop at itab.

write:/ itab-string.

endloop.

sort itab by string.

write:/ 'After sorting'.

loop at itab.

write:/ itab-string.

endloop.
