What does it do?

ABAP Addition $[SIGN sgn$]
What does it do?
This addition defines start values for the columns in the first line of the selection table. Without the addition DEFAULT, type-dependent initial values 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 bt or nb must be specified. If the addition OPTION is not used, the content of the option column is set to EQ or BT. If 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 set to I.
The times at which the start values are passed to the first line of the selection table are processed in the same way as with the addition DEFAULT to the PARAMETERS statement. If the selection table is not initial when the transfer takes place, the start values are not transferred to the first line. Only the header line in the selection table is filled with these values, which does not affect the selection criterion.
Latest notes:
The associated input fields on the selection screen are only filled with the start values if the first line in the selection table is not changed before the selection screen is sent. The system displays the value contained in the selection table when the event AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT has been processed. Start values for multiple selection can only be defined by inserting lines in the selection table.
When specifying start values, these must have the internal format of the ABAP values, and not the output format of the screen layout display.
ABAP_HINT_END
ABAP Addition
What does it do?
This addition prevents the content of character-like fields from being converted to uppercase letters when the data is transported from the input fields on the selection screen to the selection table.
Latest notes:
If a selection criterion is connected to a DDIC domain , the conversion to upper case letters can also be prevented by the respective semantic property of the domain .
ABAP_HINT_END
ABAP Addition
What does it do?
This addition associates the input fields for the selection criterion with 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 selection parameter.
ABAP Addition
What does it do?
This addition associates the first input field with an SPA/GPA parameter in the user memory. The ID pid of the SPA/GPA parameter must be specified directly and 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 selection parameter.
If the specified ID pid is not in the DDIC database table TPARA, the extended program check reports an error.
