Selection Criteria

[Former Member]

Hello friends,

I have to run the program in background and sometimes manually.

But the selection criteria changes based on the type ot run and also the selection screen changes.

When I run the program in background the Date field in the selection-screen should not be required field but when i run it manually it should be a required field.

Can i use a If statement for a selection screen and if so what condition should it be.

any Advice will be a great help.

Yes, you can check Sy-Batch, if running in background, then SY-BATCH = 'X'.

Hi,

Try this..

Check if the SY-BATCH is initial for online..

PARAMETERS: P_DATE TYPE SYDATUM.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN.

• MAKE THE FIELD MANDATORY ONLY FOR ONLINE.

IF SY-BATCH IS INITIAL AND SY-UCOMM = 'ONLI'.

IF P_DATE IS INITIAL.

MESSAGE E208(00) WITH 'DATE IS REQUIRED FOR ONLINE'.

ENDIF.

ENDIF.

Thanks,

Thanks Naren and Rich,

I have my code in this way,

SELECTION-SCREEN : BEGIN OF BLOCK blk WITH FRAME TITLE text.

IF sy-batch = 'X'.

PARAMETERS : <b>p_date</b> LIKE rlgrap-filename.

ELSE.

PARAMETERS : <b>p_date</b> LIKE rlgrap-filename OBLIGATORY.

ENDIF.

SELECTION-SCREEN : END OF BLOCK blk.

But it has errors because p_date is repeated. so I cahanged it to ,

SELECTION-SCREEN : BEGIN OF BLOCK blk WITH FRAME TITLE text.

IF sy-batch = 'X'.

PARAMETERS : <b>p_date</b> LIKE rlgrap-filename.

ELSE.

PARAMETERS : <b>p1_date</b> LIKE rlgrap-filename OBLIGATORY.

ENDIF.

SELECTION-SCREEN : END OF BLOCK blk.

I hope this is correct.

let me know..

No, you can't do that like that, check Naren's response to see how to make the field required depending on SY-BATCH.

Hi,

You don't have to declare two dates..

Check my reply for how to validate for the online processing..

Thanks Naren.

Works good for Online but is there a way that i could debug for the batch and check sy-batch = 'X'.

thanks again.

What, you don't believe us, that SY-BATCH = 'X' in background, com'on, where's the faith? Just kidding, simply execute it in background, if it runs without giving you an error, then of course it is working.
