HI,

VRM stands for Value Request Manager.

vrm_values is an internal table without header line.

vrm_value is a structure.(only one record it will hold)

see this example.

TYPE-POOLS : vrm.

tables: bkpf.

DATA : values TYPE vrm_values.

DATA : wa LIKE LINE OF vrm_value.

PARAMETERS : list_box(10) TYPE c AS LISTBOX VISIBLE LENGTH 10.

PARAMETERS: dd type bkpf-BSTAT user-command abc.

select-options: a for bkpf-bukrs MODIF ID buk.

select-options: b for bkpf-belnr MODIF ID SEL.

at selection-screen output.

If list_box = 2.

loop at screen.

if screen-group1 = 'SEL'.

screen-input = 0.

modify screen.

endif.

endloop.

endif.

INITIALIZATION.

wa-key = '1'.

wa-text = 'Orange'.

APPEND wa TO values.

wa-key = '2'.

wa-text = 'Red'.

APPEND wa TO values.

wa-key = '3'.

wa-text = 'Blue'.

APPEND wa TO values.

wa-key = '4'.

wa-text = 'Gray'.

APPEND wa TO values.

CALL FUNCTION 'VRM_SET_VALUES'

EXPORTING

id = 'LIST_BOX'

values = values

EXCEPTIONS

id_illegal_name = 1

OTHERS = 2.

hI BALAJI..

VRM is a Type Pool.

VRM_SET_VALUES

VRM_GET_VALUES

These are the Function modules to SET or GET the VALUES of a LISTBOX

Eg:

Which parameter should have the dropdown list?

field_for_dropdown = 'PA_URL'.

Fill two-column dropdown list

gs_values-key = c_intranet.

gs_values-text = 'Image from intranet'(se7).

APPEND gs_values TO gt_values.

gs_values-key = c_internet.

gs_values-text = 'Image from Internet'(se8).

APPEND gs_values TO gt_values.

Pass information to function module

CALL FUNCTION 'VRM_SET_VALUES'

EXPORTING

id = field_for_dropdown

values = gt_values.

REWARD IF HELPFUL.

hi balaji,

in the fn module vrm_set_values,

VRM_VALUE is defined with types statement.

vrm_values ia table of type vrm_value.

so, the difference is one is a standard table and the other is a user defined datatype.

to use the user-defined datatype like the standard datatype in the same program, we can define the datatype with the types statement.

later that datatype can be reused .

TYPES:

*-- Single Value in Value Set

BEGIN OF VRM_VALUE,

KEY(40) TYPE C,

TEXT(80) TYPE C,

END OF VRM_VALUE,

*-- Table of Values

VRM_VALUES TYPE VRM_VALUE OCCURS 0,
