select-options

[Former Member]

hi friends,

i need some help regarding select-options.

i have one select-option like S_MSTAV FOR MARAV-MSTAV.

for this, i have written the selection-text as X-distibution chain status.

where as in sel-screen it is displayed as X-distibution chain statu .

i.e, last letter is cut off .

Plz advice me how i can avoid this cutting off.

Thanks,

Praveen

Hi,

One way for this is that in the Selection Texts Tab where you are giving the text, instead of giving the text you can simply click on Dictionary Field Checkbox. This will give the same text as is specified for the Data element in the dictionary.

Other way is as follows :

tables : mara.

selection-screen begin of line.

selection-screen comment 1(26) text-001.

select-options : S_MSTAV FOR MARA-MSTAV.

selection-screen end of line.

give the text is the text element text-001.

This shud help u.

Himanshu

Hi,

change the mlen of ythe text element u r using first then it will come.

other wise use this code.

at selection-screen output.

%_<name of sel-options>_%_APP_%-TEXT = 'your text for sel-options'.

Hi,

I am not sure why your text is incomplete. I have tried it here in my system and it is working fine. Check again whther you forgot to put the 's' in status. Hope this helps...

P.S. Please award points if found useful.

Hi Praveen,

I have tried this select-option is a test program and it is displaying full line without cutting off any letter on the selection screen. Is your selection field inside a block or line. Can you copy paste your exact selection screen definition.

Hi Praveen,

Cud u plz mention the steps that u are performing so that we can get a better idea of why u r facing this problem.

In the approach I mentioned, u shud not specify any text in the select-options tab in any of the case: be it Dictionary Field checkbox selected or be it using Selection-screen comment.

%_S_MSTAV_%_APP_%-TEXT = 'ur text'.

Hi..,

i hope u did in this way..

select-options S_MSTAV FOR MARAV-MSTAV .

activate the program.

and then GOTO --> Text elements --> Selection texts --> In this u will get ur select option name... and in the input field give the name ... as X-distribution chain status ... Once delete the previous one and enter the text again..

it will work properly...

hello reddy...I can guess what is ur problem. Once u enter the text, it will gray out the visible length. I guess it has frozen a smaller length for u. All u can do is just these things...

1) change the select option name to S_MSTAV1 or something and activate the program

2) Got the selection text part and enter the text in there

3) Delete the old line for S_MSTAV

4) Activate it and come to the program

5) Now again change the select-option to S_MSTAV. and activate the prg

6) Go to the selection text window and now enter the correct text in full

7) and delete the S_MSTAV1 text.

😎 activate it and it will work...

hi,

Declare selct option as S_XXXX

Go to Text elements option in SE38.

enter the data, it will not reduce the char length.

Try once this.

[Former Member]

try this

tables : mara.

selection-screen begin of line.

SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 1(35) TEXT-001 FOR FIELD s_opt.

select-options : s_opt for mara-matnr.

selection-screen end of line.

dbl click on text-001 and give your heading X-distibution chain status and activate it.

Hi Friends,

i have tried the last solution i.e.,

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE .

SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 1(27)

TEXT-017 FOR FIELD S_MSTAV .

SELECT-OPTIONS : S_MSTAV FOR MARAV-MSTAV .

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE .

of course it is working..but the alignment is getting effected like it has moved a bit forward.

No probz.. this would be fine.

I can talk to the functional people and convince them.

any how ..thanks for your help.
