SELECT-OPTIONS for variables that cannot have a range

[Former Member]

Hi all,

There is an option to show only one input-field for a select-options declaration by using the 'no intervals' option. But it is still possible for the user to specify ranges when doing multiple selections (i.e. specify intervals for the variable).

However, if I have a variable that implicitly does not have ranges, (e.g. 'Arjun' TO 'Shankar' makes no sense at all), I want to let the user do multiple selections for it, without allowing him/her to enter ranges for it.

Can I do this in a selection screen in any way (even if it involves not using select-options)? And if yes, how?

Hi,

Using the below FM you can restrict the user to enter only values but not a range.

'SELECT_OPTIONS_RESTRICT'

And yes, this works perfectly for me, RSS.

Thank you!

Use this:

SELECT-OPTIONS xxxx FOR yyyy NO INTERVALS

NO-EXTENSION.

If I use NO EXTENSION, it will simply disable multiple selections. Which is something I need.

Thanks anyways!
