What does it do? selection screen. All the screen elements within these statements that are defined using the statements PARAMETERS SELECT-OPTIONS and SELECTION-SCREEN are placed in this line one after the other without spaces. SELECTION-SCREEN POSITION statements can be specified within the definition of a line. The statement SELECTION-SCREEN POSITION can be used to define the output position for the following screen element. The position pos can either be specified directly as a number between 1 and 83 or using POS_LOW or POS_HIGH expressions. The expression POS_LOW specifies the position in which the input field for a selection parameter or the first input field for a selection criterion is displayed by default. POS_HIGH specifies the position in which the second input field for a selection criterion is displayed by default. If a different position is specified in the statement defining the following element, this is respected. The statement SELECTION-SCREEN POSITION is only possible within the definition of a line. If there are conflicts with existing screen elements, the selection screen cannot be generated. ldb_additions can only be used in the selection include for a logical database. Output fields are not created for selection texts for the selection parameters and selection criteria displayed in these kinds of lines. Instead, these can be created by specifying a SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT. Further lines cannot be defined using SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE . It is not possible to define blocks or tabstrip controls using SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF $[TABBED$] BLOCK.
