Selection Screens and Lists in Release 7.0, EhP3 and 7.3 EhP1
1. Extended field lengths on selection screens
Other versions:
7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54
Modification 1
Extended Field Lengths on Selection Screens
The maximum length of input fields on selection screens has been increased from 132 to 255 for parameters
and from 45 to 255 for selection criteria. To allow values to be passed using
SUBMIT WITH SELECTION TABLE, a new data type RSPARAMSL_255, which supports this maximum length, has been added to ABAP Dictionary.
Modification 2
Handling Spool Lists
If a spool list level stacked in a preceding
spool list is closed using
NEW-PAGE PRINT OFF, the
preceding spool list is now always resumed. Previously, a new spool list was opened in this case if the spool parameters were different and the existing spool list resumed only if the spool parameters were identical.
When the system returns to the spool list, the system field sy-spono is switched
to the associated number of the spool request directly when the statement NEW-PAGE
PRINT OFF is executed. Previously, sy-spono was not modified directly but only in the next output statement sent to a spool list.
