Error in drop-down list.

[former_member202335]

Hi,

I have created a drop-down list in my screen and the list is supposed to display 4 values. However, in addition to those 4 values, I also get a blank value in the end. I have not been able to figure out why.

The list is being populated using the following code: -

• Load PT status to screen.

SELECT status status_txt

FROM zptp_rcd_status

INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE p_status_filter

WHERE sprsl = sy-langu

AND status <> zrcd_pt_st_completed

AND status <> zrcd_pt_st_reversed.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE e024.

• Error getting purchase ticket status

ENDIF.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'

EXPORTING

retfield = 'STATUS'

value_org = 'S'

TABLES

value_tab = p_status_filter

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 1.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE e024.

• Error getting purchase ticket status

ENDIF.

I checked the internal table p_status_filter and it contains only the 4 values that are supposed to be displayed (No blank lines). Also, it doesn't contain a header line.

Also, drop-down list in the UI has the following screen attributes: -

Name ZPTP_RCD_PT_HEADER-STATUS

Type I/O

Line 1

Column 115

Deflg 20

VisLg 22

Height 1

Scrollable not checked

Format numc

Input checked

Output checked

Output only unchecked

Dict Field checked

Dict Modified X

Please let me know on the possible causes for this.

There is always a blank line when you have a drop down list.

I had a look at the MIGO transaction. I saw the drop-down lists without a blank line. So, I am assuming that it is possible to have it without blank lines.

Hi,

The way to remove the blank value is make the field compulsory. I discovered this accidentally recently.

Thanks & regards,
