Hi Experts,

How can I show  current date with text as a default in the text box of selection screen?

For example: 'C:\My Documents\Material_Change_DDMMYYYY.xls' where DDMMYYYY is the current date.

You have to use AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.

data: date type string,

        value type string.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.

date = sy-datum.

concatenate 'C:\My Documents\Material_Change'  date '.XLS into value.

p_file = value.

Hi,

you can do it as below -

   PARAMETERS : p_file TYPE string LOWER CASE.

DATA :

  lv_string TYPE string.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
  CONCATENATE 'C:\My Documents\Material_Change_'
              sy-datum
              '.xls'
              INTO lv_string.

  p_file = lv_string.

Thanks and regards,
