item on the listbox cant be selected. PLS HELP.

[Former Member]

hello! i am a newbie to ABAP development.

I followed the listbox steps stated on the RSDEMO_DROPDOWN_LISTBOX because I want to populate my listbox (I created from the screen painter) with the data from a table. It was successful and I can see the data now. Problem is when I am selecting an item of the listbox, it wont be selected. the only thing always selected is the first item on the listbox? what is happening? I do not understand. PLS HELP.

big thanks.

Have you made the field DD1 as list box?

Double click on DD1 and Goto the field Dropdown and select Listbox

Also you need to pupulate the KEY field for VALUE table

DD1 is already a listbox.

<b>THIS IS A FOLLOW UP QUESTION.</b>

I have listbox DD1 and I populated that with SPFLI-CITYFROM data. I used SELECT DISTINCT statement so that it will not repeat same entry on my list box. It was successful but then on the 2nd time and on the succeeding times you click on the listbox (trying to select other item), the listbox shows all the city entries from the SPFLI-CITYFROM. The SELECT DISTINCT takes effect only at first because as I have said on the 2nd and succeeding times you click the listbox, it will show you all entries of SPFLI-CITYFROM. why is that? i dont understand.

im sorry if i sound so dumb. im a newbie.<b> big thanks to all. </b>
