select options using standard datatype?

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

Can I use select optionswithout a database field?

See, my requirement is that the user should enter minimum and maximum value of numeric type.I don't want to declare two parameters for this. Can I use the select options. if yes, how?

Select-options p_num for n.

after for, the type we are mentioning must refer some field from database table only or can it be a normal datatype like c,n etc?

Thanks a lot!!

Hi,

Yes,  We can use a select options without db table.

DATA: n(5) TYPE n.

SELECT-OPTIONS: s_num FOR n.

instead of n you can use any type( c, p, x etc).

Hi Rose,

Select-options always refers to an exiting dobj so you can use the following methods.

report test.
 
 data lv_var TYPE  n.
 data ls_struct TYPE vbak.
 data lv_vkorg TYPE vbak-vkorg.
 
 SELECT-OPTIONS:
   s_var for lv_var,
   s_vbeln for ls_struct-vbeln,
   s_vkorg for lv_vkorg.

Thanks

Read SELECT-OPTIONS documentation for FOR option : you have to use either an existing data object (e.g. any field defined in a DATA statement) or a ddic type reference. So if you define a field (before the statement) you are not required to use ddic reference.
