SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF VERSION

Short Reference

                        | {SELECT-OPTIONS selcrit}

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF VERSION vers.

Effect

These variants of the statement SELECTION-SCREEN define a version vers of the standard selection screen for the logical database. You must specify a positive figure a maximum of three characters in length for vers, and for text, a text symbol from the database program in the form text-idf, where idf represents the three-character ID of the text symbol. You can only make SELECTION-SCREEN statements that have EXCLUDE additions, and these only within the first and last statements.

The definition of a version must be specified after the definition of the standard selection screen. Each version is based on the standard selection screen. The internal SELECTION-SCREEN EXCLUDE statements remove the specified para parameters, the selcrit selection criteria, group radio button groups, and block blocks from the version directly. The IDS addition removes all the elements of the standard selection screen for which the ID id was created when they were defined with the addition ID.

When an executable program is linked with a logical database in the program attributes, you can enter the number vers in the Selection Screen Version field, so that this version is used instead of the full standard selection screen from the logical database. The content of the text symbol specified in text is used as a description of the version in the input help (F4) for the entry field.


Notes

  • You can also enter a selection screen version as a standard value in the program attributes of the database program. You must then enter the number 1000 in the attributes of an executable program that is to use the full standard selection screen. You can determine which version has been used in the database program using the function module RS_SELSCREEN_VERSION.
  • If logical databases are no longer created, you do not need to use the variant of the statement SELECT-OPTIONS.
