Where is the error???

[Former Member]

Hello,

In the program I am writing now, I have the following 2 lines of code:

PARAMETERS: P_SUFFIX TYPE FILEEXTERN LOWER CASE.

SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 22(12) TEXT-003 FOR FIELD P_SUFFIX.

And when I use Direct Processing, an error message pops up:

Generattion errors in program

Source Code: ?????????????????????????????????

Error when generating the selection screen "1000" of report

And when I commented out the second line in the code segement, everything seem to be fine.

May I know what is the problem of that line? Thanks!

try this code.

selection-screen begin of line.

SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT TEXT-003.

PARAMETERS: P_SUFFIX TYPE FILEEXTERN LOWER CASE.

selection-screen End of line.

or

PARAMETERS: P_SUFFIX TYPE FILEEXTERN LOWER CASE.

after that GOto->Text elements->Selection text.

then u assign the Cooment for P_SUFFIX.

then activate. then u will get comment.

If you want to use this comment as your field label, and you want them in the same line. You can do this.

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 22(12) TEXT-001 FOR FIELD P_SUFFIX.
PARAMETERS: P_SUFFIX TYPE FILEEXTERN LOWER CASE.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.

I think that you may need to wrap that statement within a SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE statement.

Check this.

selection-screen begin of line.
selection-screen comment (25) text-005.
selection-screen position 33.
parameters: p_pln as checkbox default ' '.
selection-screen end of line.

Hi,

It seems that you havent done

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF SCREEN <scrn> AS SUBSCREEN

PARAMETERS: P_SUFFIX TYPE FILEEXTERN LOWER CASE.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF SCREEN <scrn>.

Best regards,

Try this,

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B1 WITH FRAME.

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.

PARAMETERS: P_SUFFIX TYPE FILEEXTERN LOWER CASE.

SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 22(12) TEXT-003 FOR FIELD P_SUFFIX.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK B1 WITH FRAME.

Please do reward if it helps you.

Hi,

PARAMETERS: P_SUFFIX TYPE FILEEXTERN LOWER CASE.

SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 22(12) TEXT-003 FOR FIELD P_SUFFIX.

why u r giving comment for P_SUFFIX.

Actually PARAMETRS P_SUFFIX is creating the Input filed for File name.

This statement "SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT" overright the P-SUFFIX. thats what the problem is coming.

So pls change the order:

SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 22(12) TEXT-003.

PARAMETERS: P_SUFFIX TYPE FILEEXTERN LOWER CASE.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks for all the quick response, but the problem is not with begin of line and end of line though, I did add them and I am pretty sure it did not fix the problem because I got the same error message...but still guys, thanks a lot for helping me out!

We need to swap the statements

SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 22(12) TEXT-003 FOR FIELD P_SUFFIX.

PARAMETERS: P_SUFFIX TYPE FILEEXTERN LOWER CASE.

Not sure why...but this works
