Format of select-option

[Former Member]

Hi all,

is it possible to use a select-option in the "using" part of an form routine?

I would like to create a form routine where I can format the select-option into a string to write the result on screen.

I have multiple select-options but want to create a single form routine to handle them all.

For instance, when I write a Debitor select option it looks like:

Debitor IBT00000000010000000004

But I want to show it like this (after calling a form routine which uses a select-option and returns a string):

Debitor between 1 and 4.

When I want to reach the sign part of the select-option in the form routine

I get an DataObject has no structure and therefore got no "sign" component error message.

Can you folks help me with this?

Thanks in advance!

Greetings Fred.

Hi Fred,

The select-option field will be having the form of a internal table.

So, in your routine, read the select-option field internal table with index, then you will have values for SIGN,OPTION,LOW and HIGH.

You can then proceed as per your requirement.

Hi

you can use the select_option-low and the select_option-high value and you can also table offsets like select_option-low+2(4).

hope this will help you

Hi Fred,

I think I know what you are referring to. Just see the example below:

TYPES ty_matnr TYPE RANGE OF matnr

SELECT-OPTIONS:

s_matnr FOR mara-matnr.

DATA:

it_matnr TYPE ty_matnr WITH HEADER LINE.

REFRESH it_matnr.

LOOP AT s_matnr.

CLEAR it_matnr.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING s_matnr TO it_matnr.

APPEND it_matnr.

ENDLOOP.

PERFORM do_somthing TABLES it_matnr.

FORM do_something TABLES y_matnr TYPE ty_matnr.

• Do what ever you want here.

ENDFORM.

Hi Fred!

Your problem is the <i>generic</i> interface, I see.

You have to work with the length of the field. I once had a FM for this, but I didn't copy the coding :-(.

Here the logic:

describe the field length.

The first is including / excluding.

The 2nd and 3rd is between / equal...

The rest 'field3((length-3)/2)' and field3+(length-3)/2((length-3)/2) are your fields.

E.g. length 15, so it's field3(6) and field9(6).

Use conversion_exit_alpha_output for display explicit, convert date, time and quantities explicit, too.

Hope you got the picture,

@all

Thanks for your replies.

@ Christian Wohlfahrt and Rajasekhar Dinavahi,

Thanks go especially to you for your answers.

I have to create an own type with the same structure of a select option and pass that to the form routine.

I already thought that would be the solution, but maybe there was a SAP-standard dynamic datatype to use for this case.

Create a "generic interface" (thanks Christian) is what I am going to do.

Greetings Fred.
