Select options: uploading INTERVAL values from a file

Maciej_DomagaBa — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 13:49:16 GMT

On a selection screen you have a "select-options" field. You can upload values for that field from a text file - but it looks like it works only for a file containing list of single values.

I need to upload <u>interval</u> values (a list of values "from" - "to"). What format should have the

input file for this to work ?

I guess I tried all the possibilities - columns separated by tab character, by coma, by semicolon, used ASC "format" or DAT - the result is still the same: only the first column of data included in the file is visible to the system - values "to" remain blank.

Has anyone solved it ?

regards

Hi Maciej,

as far as I know this built-in feature of the GUI processor does only support the entry of a list aof simple values from file.

If you would like to use it very frequently. you may think of uploading to a program, create a BDC table for the ranges (and other parameters) programatically and let the program do a call transaction with itab.
