select-options on selection-screen type char100 problem

[Former Member]

Hi friends! I created on selection-screen a select-options:

SELECT-OPTIONS: zzcduc     FOR      equi-ZZCDUC.

The field equi-ZZCDUC is a CHAR100 field. The problem is when I run program, in this field user can't input more of 46 characters. This is a serial number with 100 characters, why I can input 100 characters?

Thanks for any help.

Hello

Press F1 on SELECT-OPTIONS and read documentation.

The LOW and HIGH fields of a selection option are displayed in a length up to 18 bytes long (scrollable up to 45 bytes). If you define a length longer than 45, fields are truncated on the selection screen after the 45th character.

Read OSS [Note 32140 - SUBMIT: Blanks in long parameters|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/32140] - usually only the first record of the select-options is truncated to 45.

Regards,

Raymond

Hi, this is copied from SELECT-OPTION documentation:

The LOW and HIGH fields of a selection option are displayed in a length up to 18 bytes long (scrollable up to 45 bytes). If you define a length longer than 45, fields are truncated on the selection screen after the 45th character. This affects the first line of the SELECT-OPTIONS table. You can, however, use SUBMIT to pass longer selection options to a report if they are specified with the addition NO-DISPLAY and thus do not appear on the selection screen. Without NO-DISPLAY, the fields are then truncated whenever the selection screen is processed in the background ( SUBMIT without VIA SELECTION-SCREEN).

Thanks for replies!

So, I can't use more then 45 chars except if I using submit...I got a problem here, this program is a copy of standard IH08, so i can't create module pool...

Hi!

Try this:

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 5(28) text-001 FOR FIELD tb_sck.
SELECTION-SCREEN POSITION POS_LOW.
PARAMETERS tb_sck LIKE rlfitdnk-snksl.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.

thanks,
