Extras:
1. ... DEFAULT val1 [TO val2] [OPTION opt] [SIGN sgn]
2. ... LOWER CASE
3. ... MATCHCODE OBJECT search_help
4. ... MEMORY ID pid
Effect
These additions allow a start value to be specified, allow lowercase, and integrate a search help or a SPA/GPA parameter.
... DEFAULT val1 [TO val2] [OPTION opt] [SIGN sgn]
Effect
This addition defines start values for the columns in the first row of the selection table. Without the addition DEFAULT, initial values of the corresponding type are used as start values.
val1 and val2 are used to define start values for columns low and high. These start values can either be specified as literals or as previously defined data objects. If the data type of the specified start values does not match the data type of the columns, these are converted according to the conversion rules.
The addition OPTION is used to define the start value for the option column. If the addition TO is not specified, one of the expressions eq, ne, ge, gt, le, lt, cp, or np must be specified directly for opt. If the addition TO is specified, either specify bt or nb must be specified. If the addition OPTION is not used, the content of the option column is set to ""EQ"bzw. "BT". If specify cp or np are specified, the start value in val1 must contain at least one of the wildcard characters "*" or "+" when data is passed to the selection table, otherwise the program terminates.
The addition SIGN is used to define the start value for the sign column. Either i or e must be specified directly for sgn. If the addition SIGN is not used, the content of column sign is changed to "I".
The times at which the start values are passed to the first position in the selection table are processed
in the same way as with the addition DEFAULT to the
PARAMETERS statement. If the selection table is not empty when the data is passed, the start values are not passed to the first position. Only the
header line in the selection table is filled with these values, which does not influence the
selection criterion.
Notes
... LOWER CASE
Effect
This addition prevents the content of character-like fields from being converted to block capitals when the data is transported from the input fields on the selection screen to the selection table.
... MATCHCODE OBJECT search_help
Effect
This addition links the input fields for the selection criterion to a search help search_help
from the ABAP Dictionary. The name of the search help must be specified directly. The addition has the
same effect on the input fields as when it is used with a PARAMETERS statement for an input field for a parameter.
... MEMORY ID pid
Effect
This addition links the first input field to a SPA/GPA parameter in the SAP Memory. The ID pid of the SPA/GPA parameter must be specified directly and it can contain a maximum of 20 characters. The addition has the same effect on the first input field as when it is used with a PARAMETERS statement for an input field for a parameter.
If the specified ID pid is not in the database table TPARA, the extended program check reports an error.
