Well, SELECT-OPTIONS is a internal table with 4 fields, SIGN, OPTION, LOW and HIGH. SIGN and OPTION are always 1 and 2 characters, LOW and HIGH take the type and length of the field that it references. So really, there is not a "Standard" structure, because you would want the LOW and HIGH fields to have the same data type and length as the field that you are referencing. For example, say you want a SELECT-OPTIONs for a date field.

select-options: s_datum for sy-datum.

The LOW and HIGH would have the data type D with a length of 8.

As Rich says, the LOW & HIGH depend on the field you are have the select-option for... if you want to write something generic, you could try something like having an internal table like structure BBPF4B "BAPI Selection Options for Choosing Values via Search Help" as a way of passing parameters around, and adjust the LOW & HIGH when needed (e.g. you might need to apply conversion exits or move-corresponding into a suitable local range object before searching the database for matching values).

You have declared as below.

Enter the Descriptions you want.

3. Activate the Text elements and come back to Source code

4. Execute the program</b>
