Hi,

You can use 

PARAMETERS : FILE TYPE STRING.

The display will be limited but it can store the complete filename.

Hi,

A selection screen has a limited space and therefore it will display as much as it can. No matter how you define the parameter. But still you can enter as many characters as deifned in the parameter.


parameter p_file(255) type c. " Here the field is not displayed
255 characters long, but still you can enter 255 characters in it.

regards,
