Star ' * ' is treated as wild card in selection screen

> ' * ' = wild card in selection screens.

Hi,

Wildcards are used for refining slection criteria.

eg code.

Select-options: s_matnr for mara-matnr.

INITIALIZATION.

CLEAR s_matnr.

s_matnr-SIGN = 'I'.

s_matnr-OPTION = 'CP'.

s_matnr-LOW = '10*'.

APPEND s_matnr.

select ernam

laeda

from mara

where matnr In s_matnr.

Now in selection screen one can enter 10* and get all the material number details starting with 10.

thats not possible

the values when ever you pass to the import parameters need to be of the same type, else a type conflict exception will raise.

importing

vbeln = '*' >>>>> type conflict will raise.

reward points if helpful
