Displaying error message

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I want to display an error message as and when an user enters an invalid value and for this I have written the following code:

at selection-screen.

if not s_name is initial.

select single name

from Ztest

into w_name

where merchantname eq s_name.

if sy-subrc NE 0.

message i061(zfi001) with text-005.

now the problem is when I am executing this report and if I enters the invalid name then it's taking a long time to display the message, can you please tell me what may be the possible problem.

Thanks,

Is s_name a select-option or a parameter?

It's a selection option.

As it is a select option you should code like this:

at selection-screen.

if not s_name[] is initial.

select single name

from Ztest

into w_name

where merchantname in s_name.

if sy-subrc NE 0.

message i061(zfi001) with text-005.

endif.

Beside you check the type of parameters, would be better if you change the type of message for "E".

select single name

from Ztest

into w_name

where merchantname in s_name
