Documentation

Definition

Form name for exit to split up a value range.

For particularly high-ranking or important key fields, it might be important to split up the select by value intervals, and also to split up the value intervals into single values.

To do so, a separate exit must be programmed in the module pool as in T804A. The selection program then calls up this form. The common data area is defined in the INCLUDE FGRWSD02.

The selection program transfers the following values:
O_SEL_TABLE: Table in which the field is located.
O_SEL_FIELD: Field name
O_SEL_MIN: Minimum value of the value interval
O_SEL_MAX: Maximum value of the value interval
O_SEL_ANZ: Maximum number of allowed values

The exit program must now determine all the values of the specified value interval for the field and provide the values in table O_SEL_TAB.

When you use this exit, please note that it is only effective if you also use the field MAX_SEL. Each single value also counts as a value interval and must be taken into account in the number of maximum selects (see MAX_SEL).
