Documentation

Definition

This field indicates the options available for the selection criteria for the information object and the data source.

There are usually three options here:

1. ' ' (space)
   The info object cannot be used at all in connection with the data source for the selection.
2. P
   You can only use one single parameter for the info object in connection with the data source for the selection. This means it is only possible to make 1 entry in the selection table which should have the following form:
   BAPISELECT-SIGN = 'I', BAPISELECT-OPTION = 'EQ' and
   BAPISELECT-LOW = <Parameter>, BAPISELECT-HIGH = ' '
3. S
   You can use an unlimited number of selection requirements for the info object in connection with the data source, as well as all options offered by the fields BAPISELECT-SIGN and BAPISELECT-OPTION.
