If by "Multyline Text Box" you mean a free input area for text as generated thru cl_gui_textedit, the answer is NO, selection-screen are not able to use those type of tools (custom control) but...

Module pool dynpro can merge selection-screen and enjoy objects in  a screen.

Create a dynpro with a custom container area and a subscreen area -

- in the custom container area you will maintain the "text box" thru cl_gui_custom_container, cl_gui_textedit -> Controls Tutorial (BC-CI)

- in the subscreen you will insert a selection-screen -> Selection Screens as Subscreens in Screen Programming

Correction after some investigation :

You may try one of those two hints to add a subscreen area or a custom container when displaying the selection-screen

hints :

- create a docking containter by calling cl_gui_docking_container=>dock_at_bottom during the selection-screen ouput

- define a tabbed block, without any tabs, SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF TABBED BLOCK

In both case you get a subscreen area or a container in which you could display/edit the text lines.

I dont think you can implement a TEXT AREA in a selection screen , you can do it only using the screenpainter because there is no such statement as TEXT AREA for selection screen.

Hi,

you can do it the other way round and include your selection screen in a normal screenpainter screen which includes also the text area as @Neha Sinha mentioned:

*definition of the selection screen:

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF SCREEN 9001 AS SUBSCREEN.
...

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF SCREEN 9001.

*screenpainter:

    CALL SUBSCREEN subscreenarea INCLUDING 'programname' '9001'.

Just keep in mind that the PAI for the selection screen is still at

AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
