Select or Deselect All Checkboxes on a Selection Screen

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a list of many checkboxes on a standard selection screen, I’ve added buttons that “Select All” and “Deselect All” the checkboxes. The code I’ve used is shown below:

selection-screen pushbutton

/01(15) p_sall user-command sall modif id mod.

selection-screen pushbutton

20(15) p_dall user-command dall modif id mod.

parameters: p_mandt as checkbox modif id t01,

p_zbukr as checkbox modif id t01,

p_rzawe as checkbox modif id t01,

p_chect as checkbox modif id t01,

p_checf as checkbox modif id t01,

p_laufd as checkbox modif id t01 “and so on…

at selection-screen.

• If Select All button has been pressed then select all the checkbox

• fields

if sscrfields-ucomm = 'SALL'.

perform select_all.

endif.

• If Deselect All button has been pressed then deselect all the

• checkbox fields

if sscrfields-ucomm = 'DALL'.

perform deselect_all.

endif.

form select_all.

field-symbols <fs1> type any.

loop at screen.

if screen-group1 = 'T01'.

assign (screen-name) to <fs1>.

<fs1> = 'X'.

endif.

endloop.

form deselect_all.

field-symbols <fs1> type any.

loop at screen.

if screen-group1 = 'T01'.

assign (screen-name) to <fs1>.

clear <fs1>.

endif.

endloop.

My problem is that when the “Select All” button is pressed, the checkboxes are all selected but the selection text for all the checkboxes changes to “X”, and when the “Deselect All” button is pressed the selection text for all the checkboxes is cleared. Is there any way of doing this without setting each checkbox individually to “X” (as there are a lot of checkboxes)?

I am using version 4.6c.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Cara.

form select_all.
field-symbols <fs1> type any.
loop at screen.
if screen-group1 = 'T01'.
assign (screen-name) to <fs1>.
<b><fs1> = 'X'.</b>
endif.
endloop.

because of the above code...

You need to add <b>modify screen</b> statement in

loop at screen--endloop.

HI Cara,

I Think the screen Group name is the same for even the selection screen texts also. Try giving labels, instead of Selection screen texts for the check boxes.

Hi.

While looping at the SSIT ( Screen System Internal Table ),it is always necessary to use MODIFY SCREEN before ending the loop.

Hi Amit,

I was just creating comments for all the checkboxes (there are lots of them!) when I saw your reply, and it works. So thank you very much for your help.

Instead of using selection texts , try using SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT
