Getting values back from a listbox.

[Former Member]

Hi Guys/Dolls

I have the following snippet of code (which was supplied by one of you gurus)

but can someone tell me how I can retrieve my selected listbox value into a variable so I can print it - sorry I'm new to ABAP. I've ran it through the debugger but just can't see it. can the answer be based on the following snippet of code as this is what I've coded up already.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Raj,

Another option is to use the function module F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST which is built for the exact purpose you need and you can see a lot of programs in its where used.

Also, a given program is DEMO_DROPDOWN_LIST_BOX which demos its usage.

Your selected value is in the paramater defined as a listbox.

You can use this value after PAI of screen 1000. (AT SELECTION-SCREEN and therafter)

Actually your requirement is by giving the value u have to come some dynamic output in alv.

Hi,

I think your listbox value are in p_test parameter.

Because you set p_test as ID.

l_name = 'P_TEST'.

CALL FUNCTION 'VRM_SET_VALUES'
EXPORTING
<b>id = l_name</b>
values = li_list
EXCEPTIONS
id_illegal_name = 1
OTHERS = 2.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ENDIF.

But the value of P_Test is your value key (1, 2, 3.. ),

since you set at this code:

l_value-key = '1'.
l_value-key = '2'.
etc..

Yes - I see it now I was interrogating the value in the initialization section.

This give me the index value how do I get the actual textual value? or would I have to do a case statement or can I get it via another method?

Sorry to be a pain.

Hi,

Yes, you can use Case statement.

Hi...use

" VRM_GET_VALUES" FUNCTION MODULE...

[Former Member]

Hi Raj

here is a suggestion.wat all the code you have pasted is under initialization event.

now you want to get the value from the list box into a variable,as the list box is on the selection screen,put an event called AT SELECTION_SCREEN after initialization event as this.

TYPE-POOLS : vrm. "Value Request Manager

<b>DATA : V(80) TYPE C.</b>

PARAMETERS: p_test AS LISTBOX VISIBLE LENGTH 20 OBLIGATORY.

INITIALIZATION.

PERFORM HELP_REQUEST.

<b>AT SELECTION-SCREEN.

V = P_TEST.

START-OF-SELECTION.

WRITE 😕 'The selected paramter value is ',V.</b>

I hope this should be of help to you.

Kindly reward points if helpful.
