[Former Member]

hi gurus,

can any one inform me what is the difference between select-options and range

tahnk you,

select-options you can able to see in selection screen and range act as select option but not able to see in selection screen It is act as work area

Select options and rance are used for same things. For select options system implicitly crates the select options internal table

ex ITAB-LOW

ITAB-HIGH

ITAB-OPTION

For more info:

Here both SELECT-OPTIONS & RANGES works for the same purpose. They both are used for the range selection from selection screen. The main diff. between them is, while we use SELECT-OPTIONS system implicitly creates the select options internal table which contains the fields of SIGN,OPTION,LOW & HIGH. But in case of RANGES, this internal table should be defined explicitly.

Eg. to SELECT-OPTIONS :

-

---

REPORT YARSELECT.

TABLES YTXLFA1.

SELECT-OPTIONS : VENDOR FOR YTXLFA1-LIFNR.

INITIALIZATION.

VENDOR-LOW = 1000. " It specifies the range starting value.

VENDOR-HIGH = 2000. " It specifies the range ending value.

VENDOR-OPTION = 'BT'. " specifies ranges value is in between.

VENDOR-SIGN = 'I'. "specifies both inclussive.

APPEND VENDOR.

- - - -

- - - -

SELECT LIFNR LAND1 NAME1 FROM LFA1 INTO TABLE ITAB

WHERE LIFNR IN VENDOR.

Eg. to RANGES:

-

---

REPORT YARRANGE.

TABLES YTXLFA1.

RANGES: VENDOR FOR YTXFLA1-LIFNR.

Here with RANGES user has to design an internal table with fields -

SIGN,OPTION,LOW and HIGH EXPLICITLY.

Hi,

Select-options:

1.select options internally takes the table structure of sign option low and high.

2.it appears on the selection screen.

Range:

1.we need to explicitly define its structure manually.

2.it does not appear on the selection screen

regards,

sana.
