Former Member

hi,

whenever we right something in selection screen we define length of comment like 79 which is a limit but if any one wanna go beyond this limit then what he has to do. Example:

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK file_select WITH FRAME TITLE text-000.

SELECTION-SCREEN SKIP 2.

SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 1(79) text-001.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK file_select.

here if i wanna increase the length from 79 to 132 (which is permitted at text symbols) what I have to do.

regards,

Siddarth

Hi,

try using it as-

SELECTION-SCREEN INCLUDE COMMENT fmt name , or

SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT fmt name with visible length.

Hope this will help you.

it is giving error

Without the addition "FOR FIELD", you must supply a text field.

Hi,

The maximum length allowed for the selection screen comment is 83, you can print the comment in 2 lines to overcome this error,
