Pradeep,

That's the SIGN option of the SELTAB, the structure of your SELECT-OPTIONS internal table (Sign, Option, Low value, High Value)

IEQ = is equal to, being displayed as u used a default value for SELECT-OPTIONS...

Because select opiton is an internal table with 4 field

Sign, Option, Low value, High Value.

I - Including, E- Excluding

Option - EQ(equals to), NE(not equals to), GT(greater than),.....etc

Low Value is the value in your from ____

High Value is the value in your to _____

Hope this clarifies

select options create a range of the structure

sign

option

low

high

The character I means 'IN' and it is related with the field sign of the select option you created

The character EQ means equal and it is related with the field option of the select option you created.

it means that your select statement will filter the records that has the value eq 'DG'

Sign values could be I (In) or O(out)

Option values could be EQ (equal) NE (not equal) BT (between), for example

Hi Pradeep,

Select option is similar to an internal table & has 4 fields in it.

SIGN

OPTION

LOW

HIGH

Inorder to display contents of select option you need to code as follows:

loop at dept.

write 😕 dept-low, dept-high.

endloop.

Best regards,

Prashant
