Index of Values in the List Boxes on a Selection Screen

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a list box on the selection screen for Month field. It has the values Jan, Feb, Mar....etc in it.

These entries, I added thru the VRM_SET_VALUES.

Now, I want to default the month to current month SY-DATUM+4(2).

Is there any FM to which I can send this SY-DATUM+4(2) as an Index and the corresponding value gets set for the Month field.

As an alternatvie, I could use<b> Case Sy-DATUM+4(2). when '01'. p_month = 'Jan'. etc etc..</b> But I want to avoid this big case statement.

Please suggest.

Thanks,

Hi Suryakiran,

Try to use the func <b>MONTH_NAMES_GET</b>.It will

return the month name along with the number.

And also you can directly select from table <b>T247</b>

Thanks&Regards,

Thanks,

Since this is months, I could get the data from T247. This solves my issue for now. But what if the values in the list box are generic values? I just wanted to know if there is any INDEX concept so that I can straight away set the value of the List box based on the Index.

Hi

I can't understand your problem if you know the data using in the listbox you should know how to get out the value for a certain index.

Anyway you can use VRM_GET_VALUES to get out all value setted for a certain input fields.

i guess you are comparing this with the html dropdown box. there is not index concept within ABAP for list box.

Hi

When you transfer the data to fm VRM_SET_VALUES you need to fill a table (type VRM_VALUES), why don't you declare this table as global data, in this way you can read it to find out the value you need.

data: wa TYPE vrm_value.

READ TABLE values INTO WA WITH KEY key = SY-DATUM+4(2).

Hi Suryakiran,

Check FM POPUP_TO_SELECT_MONTH

Hi

you can use

default addition in the parameter.

Parameter: p_month like <> default sy-datum+4(2).

in the initializtion event write the following code.

initialization .

data: wa type T247 .

select single * from T247 into wa where spras eq s-langu and mnr eq sy-datum+4(2) .

<parameter name of list box> = wa-ktx .
