Text on SCREEN?!

[Former Member]

Hello,

i my report is run, I would like to provide a little description of the report on the selection screen.

I can use something like:

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.

SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 1(83) descrp_1.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.

INITIALIZATION.

descrp_1 = 'This is a description but only with 83 characters'.

The problem is, that the comment can only be 83 characters long!!!

Is there any other possibility to provide a descriptuion with more than 83 chacters on the screen?

thx,

holger

Hi Holger,

1. One way is using Text-Symbols.

2. SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.

SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 1(83) text-001.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.

3. Define a text-symbol 001

MAX LENGTH IS 132.

4. In SE38 itself (while keeping the source code open)

Use the menu:

Goto---> TextElements --->Text-Symbols

Hi Holger,

Try this way....

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 1(83) text-009.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 1(83) text-010.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 1(83) text-011.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.

<b>double click on text-009</b> and it will goto text symbols screen there you give what you want to display but it has <b>max length of 132 char</b> like that you give for other text symbols also.

regards,

venu.
