Extras
1. ... DEFAULT val1 [TO val2] [OPTION opt] [SIGN sgn]
2. ... LOWER CASE
3. ... MATCHCODE OBJECT search_help
4. ... MEMORY ID pid
Effect
These additions allow a start value to be specified, allow lowercase, and integrate a search help or a SPA/GPA parameter.
Addition 1
... DEFAULT val1 [TO val2] [OPTION opt] [SIGN sgn]
Effect
This addition defines start values for the columns in the first row of the
selection table. Without the addition DEFAULT,
initial values of the corresponding type are used as start values.
val1 and val2 are used to define start values
for columns low and high. These start values can
either be specified as literals or as previously defined data objects. If the data type of the specified start values does not match the data type of the columns, these are converted according to the conversion rules.
The addition OPTION is used to define the start value for the option
column. If the addition TO is not specified, one of the expressions
eq, ne, ge, gt,
le, lt, cp, or
np must be specified directly for opt. If the addition TO
is specified, either specify bt or nb must be
specified. If the addition OPTION is not used, the content of the option column is set to
""EQ" or "BT". If specify cp
or np are specified, the start value in val1 must contain at least one of the wildcard characters
"*" or "+" when data is passed to the selection table, otherwise the program terminates.
The addition SIGN is used to define the start value for the sign
column. Either i or e must be specified directly
for sgn. If the addition SIGN is not used, the content of column sign is changed to "I".
The times at which the start values are passed to the first position in the selection table are processed
in the same way as with the addition DEFAULT to the
PARAMETERS statement. If the selection table is not empty when the data is passed, the start values are not passed to the first position. Only the
header line in the selection table is filled with these values, which does not influence the
selection criterion.
Notes
- The associated input fields on the selection screen are only filled with the start values if the first row in the selection table is not changed before the selection screen is sent. The system displays the value contained in the selection table when the event AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT has been processed. Start values for multiple selection can only be defined by inserting rows in the selection table.
-
When start values are specified, these must have the internal format of the ABAP values, and not the output format of the screen display.
Addition 2
... LOWER CASE
Effect
This addition prevents the content of character-like fields from being converted to block capitals when the data is transported from the input fields on the selection screen to the selection table.
Addition 3
... MATCHCODE OBJECT search_help
Effect
This addition associates the input fields for the selection criterion with a search help search_help
from ABAP Dictionary. The name of the search help must be specified directly. The addition has the same
effect on the input fields as when it is used with a PARAMETERS statement for an input field for a parameter.
Addition 4
... MEMORY ID pid
Effect
This addition associates the first input field with an
SPA/GPA parameter in the
user memory. The ID
pid of the SPA/GPA parameter must be specified directly and it can contain a maximum of 20 characters.
The addition has the same effect on the first input field as when it is used with a PARAMETERS statement for an input field for a parameter.
If the specified ID pid is not in the database table TPARA, the extended program check reports an error.
