Question on Parameter Transaction

[Former Member]

Hi everybody,

I wrote a report: ZPD_WRITE_PARAM, this report prints a parameter, the code is:

REPORT ZPD_WRITE_PARAM.

PARAMETERS: param TYPE string.

WRITE: param.

Then I created a corresponding report transcation: ZPD_WRITE_PARAM.

At last based on ZPD_WRITE_PARAM, I created a parameter transaction: ZPD_WRITE_PARAM_1:

Select on 'Skip initial screen';

In 'Default Values' table, set PARAM value 'Test'.

Ran ZPD_WRITE_PARAM_1, I thought it would print 'Test', but actually it printed nothing. I guess the default value hasn't passed to the parameter of the report.

Could somebody point out where I was wrong, or tell me the correct settings?

Thanks and Best Regards,

Da

PARAMETERS: param TYPE string.

start-of-selection.

WRITE: param.

Hi Kothand,

I added 'START-OF-SELECTION.' into my code. But it still doesn't work...

Hi Da,

I do n't know why you are using parameter Transaction for Normal report.Parameter transaction is used when you have other transaction , and need to create some Tcode with defaulting some parameters.

You can use Normal T code for Normal report

Hi Dude,

This parameter transaction is not for report programs. It is used to edit table entries by creating table generators for a table. When u execute this parameter tcode , u will get the table like atructure in which u can add data. and this data will go to the table for which table maintenance is created.
