SELECT-OPTIONS Obligatory During Runtime

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

I have a weird requirement for my client.

Can we set a field on selection screen Obligatory during runtime..Just like module pool SCREEN-REQUIRED?

I want this to make the field manadatory if it is run in foreground and optional in Background using INITIALIZAIION section.

Is it possible?

Thanks in Advance for your Help!

Hi,

Use modify id statment when you are declaring it as parameter and then you can do that.

In initiliazation you will not have the info how th eprogram will be executed.

I was not aware of that. Wont the sy-batch be populated in the initialization event when run in background?

[Sandeep_Kumar]

Yes, sy-batch will be populated once you execute the program but then the program will be executed with the selections you have laready made.

Hello,

Try something like this,

SELECT-OPTIONS S_ABC for MARA-MATNR. 


INITIALIZATION.

if not sy-batch = 'X'.     "When the report is run in foreground
if S_ABC [] is initial.
message 'Please Enter a value' type 'E'.
endif.
endif.

Thanks Atul...

Here is the Working Code for the requirement...

SELECT-OPTIONS S_PTYPE FOR SAPLANE-PLANETYPE MODIF ID ABC.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.

if sy-batch = ' '.

LOOP AT SCREEN.

IF SCREEN-GROUP1 = 'ABC'.

SCREEN-REQUIRED = '1'.

MODIFY SCREEN.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

ENDIF.
