Hi,

After you done this:

PARAMETERS: p_cncldc AS CHECKBOX. and compile your report then click menu button goto and select

Text Elements->Selection Texts and then put descriptions for the parameter p_cncldc.

That will get correct descriptions.

Hi,

the best way to provide any text to your screen elements like checkbox, radiobutton, button is through

the text elements.

MENU->Text Elements->Selection Texts

and provide the name to p_cncldc.

save and activate the changes.

Hi Jessica,

Do like this:

Selection-Screen begin of block b2 with frame title text-001.

Parameters : p_disp as CHECKBOX.

selection-screen end of block b2.

Now double click on "text-001" then click on Tab: Selection texts.

there u will get "p_disp" write ur description there.

If any problem then revert back.
