Statement PARAMETERS as STRING (report)

Former Member — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 09:00:20 GMT

Hello experts,

I would like to use TYPE STRING as declaration in the report and statement PARAMETERS

(PARAMETERS : i_param type string)

error message "The deep data type 'STRING' is not allowed"

Could you give me help how set up parameters, which should be long e.g. 150 characters ?

Thanks you in advance

Martin

ok, i was confused that i see only "input" window with 50 Char, but the length was longer ( it depends on Char)

Thanks Martin

Yes you can see only input width 50 char, its just the visible length

but infact its actual length is 150, its a selection screen limit which shows you only 50 chars

The selection screen limit of character is only 132, so you can not display a parameter with length 150, even if you declare 150 it considers only 132.

Hope this is clear.

Check this.

PARAMETERS : p_t(150) TYPE c.
DATA : l_str TYPE string.
DATA : len TYPE i.
l_str = p_t.
len = strlen( l_str ).

WRITE : len.
