Background documentationSeveral Elements in a Single Line Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

To position a set of parameters or comments in a single line on the selection screen, you must declare the elements in a block enclosed by the following two statements:

Syntax Syntax

  1. SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.
  2. ...
  3. SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.
End of the code.

Note that the selection text is not displayed when you use this option. To describe the elements, you must use the COMMENT addition of the SELECTION-SCREEN statement.

In the pos(len) formatting option of the SELECTION-SCREEN statement, you can omit pos between the statements specified above. The element is placed at the current position in the line. Between the statements specified above, you must not use a slash (/) in the pos(len) formatting option.

To determine the POSITION of an element in a line, you use:

SELECTION-SCREEN POSITION pos.

For pos, you can specify a number or one of the expressions pos_low or pos_high. pos_low and pos_high identify the positions of the two input fields of a selection criterion. Use the POSITION addition only between BEGIN OF LINE and END OF LINE.
