hi,

if u validate the data that is entered by user at the selection-screen, at that time we use selection-screen validation.

if there is no validation at the selection-screen we need to accept the data which is entered by user.

Abhi,

Selection Screen Validation are used for correct input processing.

Selection screen elements are used further in select queries to fetch data. if user enters some wrong input

we will unnecessarily hit the data base with wrong values and select will fail , hence validation of the input

will avoid unnecessary data base hit.
