select-options : s_city for LFA1-CITY.

INITIALIZATION.

s_city-sign = 'I'.
s_city-option = 'CP'.
s_city-low = 'A*'.
s_city-high = 'H*'.
append s_city.
clear s_city.


s_city-sign = 'I'.
s_city-option = 'CP'.
s_city-low = 'a*.
s_city-high = 'h*.
append s_city.
clear s_city.

try this

Initialization.

s_city-sign = 'I'.

s_city-option = 'CP'.

s_city-low = 'A'.

s_city-high = 'HZ'.

append s_city.

clear s_city.

hi,

you can initialize the value by giving the range in INITIALIZATION events.

like city-low = 'a'

city-high = ' h'. and city is your select-options name.

Hi,

do like this

data : it_lfa1 type standard table of lfa1.

select-options : s_ort01 for lfa1-ort01.

select * from lfa1

into corresponding fields of

table it_lfa1

where ort01 in s_ort01.

you can enter A*

Hello Annie,

This link gives all the possible patterns:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/34/8e72da6df74873e10000009b38f9b8/frameset.htm

In particular:

Example

TABLES SBOOK.

SELECT-OPTIONS FL_DATE FOR SBOOK-FLDATE.

INITIALIZATION.

MOVE: 'I' TO FL_DATE-SIGN,

'EQ' TO FL_DATE-OPTION,

<b>SY-DATUM TO FL_DATE-LOW.</b>

APPEND FL_DATE.

MOVE: 'BT' TO FL_DATE-OPTION,

<b>'19960101' TO FL_DATE-LOW,

'19960630' TO FL_DATE-HIGH.</b>

APPEND FL_DATE.

When the selection screen is displayed, FL_DATE already contains the selection by the single value SY-DATUM (current date) and the interval from January 1 to June 30, 1996.

Regards,

Beejal

Hi,

Try simply in the selection screen j* and rzzzz(maximum z as suggested).

In the coding as usual,

select * from db into table itab where field in s_field.

Here s_field is a select-option.

Dear Try With Serch Help Option

you can get your requirment esely

1.use list box (combo box) and add most resanly option like (a-h, a-c, p-s ....)

2.use it to your serch help option

add rewards if helpful

[SantoshKallem]

the user has to enter the values manually.

if he need A to H, then have to enter A to HZ (in selection screen)

J to R ---> J to RZ
