Select criteria without using SELECTION SCREENs

[former_member287500]

Hi everybody,

I have a report with a single screen, 4 fields for search criteria and 2 alv grids for the output.

I search db tables with a select statement.

Is it possible to define a select statement that searches for 3 out of 4 criteria, if the fourth input field isn't filled it?

Because right now the select statement doesn't return any data if I leave one parameter blank.

And how can I provide the possibility to define more than one search criteria of one kind withour adding several input fields on the screen?

For example: Data created on 20070101 and 20070105.

I know that most of this can be done with selection screens, but is there a possibility to do this without a selection screen?

Best regards

Tobias

You should use SELECT-OPTIONS on your selection screen. This allows the user to enter all kinds of possiblities, including leaving something blank. Then in your SELECT statement, you use the IN operator.

select-options: s_datum for sy-datum.

select * into table itab
           from ztable
                  where datum IN s_datum.

If you truly do not want to use a Selection-screen, you could hard code values in the SELECT statement or create a range using the RANGE statement. The RANGE statement works exactly like SELECT-OPTION statement but without the selection-screen.

Hi,

You need to use SELECT-OPTIONS for doing the same.

Please Follow the sample code given by Rich.

if you have defined parameter then you should fill the value ...

if you dont want to fill it make it select-option and if you restrict user to give only one value then use

tables : mara.

select-options : s_matnr for mara-matnr no-extension no intervals.

it will show only one input field now write your code

select single * form mara where matnr in s_matnr.

Thanks everybody!

I used the select-options/selction screen to do it.

Thanks again!
