Here is a sample.



report zrich_0003.


data:
      selctab type table of rsscr with header line.

data:  syrepid type sy-repid.


parameters: p_chk type c.
select-options: s_chk for sy-datum.

syrepid = sy-repid.


load report syrepid part 'SSCR' into selctab.


loop at selctab.

  if selctab-kind = 'S'
    or selctab-kind = 'P'.

    write:/ selctab-name, selctab-kind.
  endif.

endloop.

check sy-subrc = 0.

or you could use the following function module.

<b>RS_REPORTSELECTIONS_INFO</b>

just pass the report name and get back all the parameters /select-options details along with their DB reference filed info and defaults as well.

Thank you all for your help.

Here is the background on what I need to accomplish.

I am creating an ABAP report that in turn must call other ABAP reports and aggregate the output of all these reports. To run a report, it appears that I need to call "Submit" with a report name. Is this right? How do I pass the parameters to submit?

Thank you once again for your help.

Yes, you are correct. You can pass the paramters using the WITH extension.

SUBMIT report_name 
         with P_PARM1 = "Whatever"
         and return.

Here P_PARM1 is a parameter in the <report_name> program. It works with select-options in a simular fashion. You can do F1 help for more info.

Also, please remember to award points for helpful answers. Thanks.
