SELECT-OPTIONS - On the selection screen, you can declare RANGES on the selection screen.

RANGES - Inside the program, if you want to have variable with RANGES option, use the RANGES variable. You cannot declare and use SELECT-OPTIONS inside the program.

Hi Bhasker,

SELECT-OPTIONS & RANGES both are used for the range selection from selection screen. The diff. is while we use SELECT-OPTIONS system implicitly creates the select options internal table which contains the fields of SIGN,OPTION,LOW & HIGH. But in case of RANGES, this internal table should be defined explicitly.

For Eg

TABLES mara.

SELECT-OPTIONS : material FOR mara-matnr.

INITIALIZATION.

material-LOW = 1001. " It specifies the range starting value.

material-HIGH = 0000. " It specifies the range ending value.

material-OPTION = 'EQ'. " specifies ranges value is in equal.

material-SIGN = 'I'. "specifies both inclussive.

APPEND material .

SELECT * FROM mara INTO TABLE ITAB

WHERE matnr IN material.

RANGES:

RANGES: material FOR mara-matnr.

Hope this helps

HI,

SELECT-OPTIONS - this is used in order to have selection screen .Here u wil give the range of values.

For example.i need to retrieve data for some materials.So i wil give as

select-options : s_matnr for mara-matnr (in program) and in the selection screen u wil give the range 1 to 10.Means for material 1 to 10 u can retrieve the data.In program u need to write

select * from mara into table it_mara where matnr in s_matnr.The values u specify in the selection screen may vary and u wil get the data as per the values u specify in the select-options.

But for RANGES u won't get selection screen and if u r fixed data for 1 to 5 materials only i need to retreive data.then go for Ranges.

hi bhaskar,

In select-options we will give the lower limit and the higher limit with no condition.ie we cannot fetch values like for example,

we need only employees of 100,111,115 from 100 to 120 we cannot get through select-options .

whereas in ranges we have the options to get that.they are

HIGH,LOW,SIGN&OPTION.

so wecan specify a condition in the above options.

thanks®ards
