How to specify size for a parameter variable with user-command? Help!

[gopalkrishna_baliga]

Hi Experts,

I have a selection screen where I want to display a dropdown. On change of this dropdown I have to perform certain actions.

I have declared the dropdown as:

PARAMETERS: p_soldto as listbox VISIBLE LENGTH 30 user-command chg

But with the above declaration the p_soldto has always 1 character value. In other words if my dropdown has 10 items, where Each item has a key like 1, 2...upto 10.

On selection of last item (key 10), the p_soldto shows 1 instead of 10. This is because the p_soldto has been declared without any size.

If I try to give size as:

PARAMETERS: p_soldto(20) as listbox VISIBLE LENGTH 30 user-command chg

Then, this gives error saying size cannot be specified when user-command is used.

What shall I do? How do specify size along with user-command? Please help! I am really lost. This is really ridiculous of SAP.

Kindly help

Thanks

Gopal

why dont you declare it as

p_soldto type char30 as listbox VISIBLE LENGTH 30 user-command chg

this should solve your problem

You can use the length specification, but you need to use the TYPE C also.

PARAMETERS: p_soldto<b>(20) type c</b> as listbox VISIBLE LENGTH 30 user-command chg.
