Do you need this is a report or as a search help (value / check table)...where do you want to use it?

In report for example you can do a check at selection screen and check what user entered. Or create a new customizing table and a search help for example...

Need more info about why, where and how you want to use this.

Assuming you're using a Dialog/Module program..

In your Global area (_TOP)

TYPE-POOLS             vrm.
DATA: 
      lgen_field   TYPE vrm_id,
      lgen_result  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF vrm_value,
      lgen_val     LIKE LINE OF ltype_result.

In your PBO routine

REFRESH lgen_result. clear lgen_result.
lgen_val-key = 'F'.
lgen_val-text = 'Female'.
append lgen_val to lgen_result.
lgen_val-key = 'M'.
lgen_val-text = 'Male'.
append lgen_val to lgen_result.

* Field name to assign drop down values
  lgen_field = 'YOURGENDORFIELD'.

  CALL FUNCTION 'VRM_SET_VALUES'
       EXPORTING
            id              = lgen_field
            values          = lgen_result
       EXCEPTIONS
            id_illegal_name = 1
            OTHERS          = 2.

In the screen painter ensure that your Value List on the Field attribute screen is set to 'A' (From Program)

I know you can use this in a selection screen to, but I do not have an example of it.
