the selection screen.
Syntax:
PARAMETERS <P_NAME> TYPE <TABLE-FIELD>. "General parameter for input fields
Example:
PARAMETERS: P_MATNR TYPE MARA-MATNR.

Syntax:
PARAMETERS <P_NAME> TYPE <TABLE-FIELD> OBLIGATORY. "Parameter for mandatory input field
Example:
PARAMETERS: P_MATNR TYPE MARA-MATNR OBLIGATORY.

Syntax:
PARAMETERS <P_NAME> AS CHECKBOX. "Parameter for check box printing
Example:
PARAMETERS: P_CHK AS CHECKBOX.

Syntax:
PARAMETERS <P_NAME1> RADIOBUTTONGROUP <RADIOBUTTON GROUP1>. "Print Radio button group
PARAMETERS <P_NAME2> RADIOBUTTONGROUP <RADIOBUTTON GROUP1>. "Print Radio button group
PARAMETERS <P_NAME3> RADIOBUTTONGROUP <RADIOBUTTON GROUP1>. "Print Radio button group
Example:
PARAMETERS: P_RADIO1 RADIOBUTTON GROUP RG1.
PARAMETERS: P_RADIO2 RADIOBUTTON GROUP RG1.
PARAMETERS: P_RADIO3 RADIOBUTTON GROUP RG1.

2. What are select-options in SAP ABAP?


Select-Options is statement which is used to define two input fields so that users can enter
A range of values, Select-Options have below additional features.

Accepts multiple single values.

Accepts multiple ranges (ex: 001-020, 025-30).

Accepts exclusion of values (ex: Exclude 0004, 007 etc).

Accepts exclusion of ranges.

Syntax1: SELECT-OPTIONS <SO_NAME> FOR <TABLE-FIELD>.


"This prints two input fields (range) with extension to enter multiple ranges
Syntax2: SELECT-OPTIONS <SO_NAME> FOR <TABLE-FIELD> NO INTERVALS.
"This prints one input field with extension
Syntax3: SELECT-OPTIONS <SO_NAME> FOR <TABLE-FIELD> NO-EXTENSION.
"This prints two input fields without any extension (can not enter multiple ranges)
Syntax4: SELECT-OPTIONS <SO_NAME> FOR <TABLE-FIELD> NO INTERVALS
NO-EXTENSION.
"This prints one input field without intervals and extensions

A. Select-Options functionality in SAP ABAP


Whenever we declare Select-Options, an internal table will be created with the following
fields.
1. SIGN: This field contains I or E, where I stands for inclusive (Include that values) and E
stands for exclusive (Exclude that values), default value is I.
2. OPTIONS: This field can accept values BT (Between), NB (Not Between), EQ (Equal),
NE (Not equal), GT (Greater than), LT (Less than).
3. LOW: This field stores low value of entered range.
4. HIGH: This field stores high value of entered range.

B. Select-Options design
TABLES: MARA.
"Specify table for which you are creating select-options

SELECT-OPTIONS: S_MATNR FOR MARA-MATNR.


"Print select-options on screen
The above statement prints a select-option with intervals and extension.

TABLES: MARA.
"Specify table for which you are creating select-options
SELECT-OPTIONS S_MATNR FOR MARA-MATNR NO INTERVALS.
"Print select-options on screen
The above statement prints a select-option with no intervals.

\
TABLES: MARA.
"Specify table for which you are creating select-options
SELECT-OPTIONS S_MATNR FOR MARA-MATNR NO-EXTENSIONS.
"Print select-options on screen
The above statement prints a select-option without extension.

TABLES: MARA.
"Specify table for which you are creating select-options
Select-options: s_matnr for mara-matnr no-extension no intervals.

3. How to add drop-down box in selection screen using SAP


ABAP Programming?
Sometimes we may need to print drop down on selection-screen, and need to catch the
selected value for execution logic, the below example will explain how to use drop-down in
selection-screen in SAP ABAP.
To display drop down list we have to use type-group VRM (Value Request Manager) as
type-pools.

TYPE-POOLS: VRM. "Use type group VRM(Value Request Manager) for list
DATA: IT_LIST TYPE VRM_VALUES.
DATA: WA_LIST TYPE VRM_VALUE.
DATA: IT_VALUES TYPE TABLE OF DYNPREAD,
WA_VALUES TYPE DYNPREAD.
DATA: LV_SELECTED_VALUE(10) TYPE C.

INITIALIZATION."Initialize values to drop down list
WA_LIST-KEY = '1'.
WA_LIST-TEXT = 'Green'.
APPEND WA_LIST TO IT_LIST.
WA_LIST-KEY = '2'.
WA_LIST-TEXT = 'Blue'.
APPEND WA_LIST TO IT_LIST.
WA_LIST-KEY = '3'.
WA_LIST-TEXT = 'Orange'.
APPEND WA_LIST TO IT_LIST.
WA_LIST-KEY = '4'.
WA_LIST-TEXT = 'Gray'.
APPEND WA_LIST TO IT_LIST.
WA_LIST-KEY = '5'.
WA_LIST-TEXT = 'White'.
APPEND WA_LIST TO IT_LIST.
WA_LIST-KEY = '6'.
WA_LIST-TEXT = 'Yellow'.
APPEND WA_LIST TO IT_LIST.
CALL FUNCTION 'VRM_SET_VALUES' "Value Request Manager Function Module
EXPORTING
ID

= 'COLORS'

VALUES

= IT_LIST

EXCEPTIONS
ID_ILLEGAL_NAME = 1
OTHERS

= 2.

*--------------------------------------------------------------*

CLEAR: WA_VALUES,

REFRESH IT_VALUES.
WA_VALUES-FIELDNAME = 'COLORS'.
APPEND WA_VALUES TO IT_VALUES.

CALL FUNCTION 'DYNP_VALUES_READ' "Read screen field values before PAI field transport

READ TABLE IT_VALUES INDEX 1 INTO WA_VALUES.


IF SY-SUBRC = 0 AND WA_VALUES-FIELDVALUE IS NOT INITIAL.
READ TABLE IT_LIST INTO WA_LIST
WITH KEY KEY = WA_VALUES-FIELDVALUE.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
LV_SELECTED_VALUE = WA_LIST-TEXT.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.

4. How to Use selection texts to replace technical names of


fields on selection screen in SAP ABAP programming?
Selection texts are texts which are used to replace technical field names on selection-screen
with custom names.
In real-time business no business user (end user) can understand technical names,
they just use the applications for the business, whenever we print a input field on selectionscreen, we get technical field names by default.
Syntax:
PARAMETERS: P_MTART TYPE MARA-MTART. "Material type input
The above Code will generate below screen:

But we need to replace P_MTART with our custom name.....


Go to Program Source code, Select Goto-Text Elements-Selection Texts

Replace question mark with your customer text.

Click on "Save" and "Activate".


Click on "Back (F3)".

Again, Click on "Save" and "Activate"

NOTE: In the same way you can replace radio button text, selection-options text,
Parameters text etc.
