cannot maintain Selection Text

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am maintaining selection screens, but I cannot maintain Selection Texts under Text Module and input is not allowed. Thanx for your help.

I am not sure why that is not allowed, however take a look at SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT.

Even I tried the simplest selection screen, I am stilled not allowed to input selection texts,

the table for selection texts is grayed, and the first column under the tab of Selection Texts is empty.

code:

PARAMETERS dob TYPE i DEFAULT 1.

I dont understand, you can edit the program but not the Selection texts.

If you can edit the program, why don't you add the SELECTION SCREEN COMMENT as I have said above?

PS:Do you have Modification assistant switched on? In that case, you should be able to see Insert button on the top.

Thanx for your help. Modification assistant is on by default, and I am also not allowed to disable it. Does it means that I have limited access to the system?

You dont have to disable it, you can change the texts.

I maintained a message class and from an example I learned that 'Member number & is already existing.' I think & here stands for a variable. Would u pls tell me where can I find reference articles on  the usage of &? I really appreciate your favor.

If you use &, the assignment can be dynamic.

For eg, in the above case if the message number is 099, MESSAGE e099 WITH '100' will display Member number 100 is already existing.
