The difference between using a PARAMETERS and using a SELECT-OPTION with NO INTERNVALS and NO EXTENSION, is that when using the PARAMETER you would use the = in your SELECT statement, which means that you would have to have some value entered. When using the SELECT-OPTION, you use the IN operator in your SELECT statement, and you would not need to enter a value in the selection-screen, if you do not enter a value, you would get all entries from the DB, because even though it looks like a parameter, it is still a SELECT-OPTION and will behave this way.

Hi,

There is basically no difference between PARAMETERS and a SELECT-OPTION with the additional NO INTERVALS NO EXTENSION.

The only difference is dat PARAMETERS is a variable whereas SELECTION-OPTION is an internal table. In a select statement with a select-option you use IN .
