Parameters doubt

[Former Member]

HI all,

REPORT ZV_PARAMETERS_DEMO.

• Declaration of internal table.

data itab like mara occurs 0 with header line.

*defining parameters

PARAMETERS: value TYPE i DEFAULT 100 visible length 10,

p_matnr TYPE mara-matnr OBLIGATORY VALUE CHECK visible

length 10.

*populating data into internal table.

select * from mara into table itab where matnr = p_matnr.

*processing data from internal table.

loop at itab.

write : / itab-matnr,itab-ersda.

endloop.

Above is a sample code written by me for parameters. I expect the input boxes of both the parameters to be of equal length but they are not. can anyone tell me the reason.

Regards,

vijay

It is dependent on the type. Say we change the value parameter to have a length of 40 and TYPE C, then the two fields will match.

* Declaration of internal table.
data itab like mara occurs 0 with header line.

*defining parameters

PARAMETERS: <b>value(40) TYPE C</b> DEFAULT 100 visible length 10,
            p_matnr TYPE mara-matnr OBLIGATORY VALUE CHECK
                      visible length 10.

*populating data into internal table.
select * from mara into table itab where matnr = p_matnr.

*processing data from internal table.
loop at itab.
  write : / itab-matnr,itab-ersda.
endloop.

Also, if you change it to a TYPE N field, they also will have matching lengths.

PARAMETERS: <b>value(40) TYPE n</b> DEFAULT 100 visible length 10,
            p_matnr TYPE mara-matnr OBLIGATORY VALUE CHECK
                      visible length 10.
