hi,

1) ranges are similar to select-option they are mainly used to generate internal table of similar to select-option

eg: data itab type ranges of matnr.

2) u validate selection criteria in at-selection-screen event

u can initialize variables using default option or in initialization event ; in initialization event values assigned are dynamic.

3) sy-datum , sy-timlo, etc

look at table syst for system variables

5) normally SAP provided program should be used for loading the data.

Own program used only when u have customization is involved

Transaction EMIGALL is used for the Imgration of data

Manoj

hi Rohit,

1. max,min values provided in selection screens.

Main function of ranges to pass data to the actual selection tables without displaying the selection screen.

Min, Max values provided in selection screens.

It is often necessary to directly access individual records in a data structure. This is done using unique keys. Number ranges are used to assign numbers to individual database records for a commercial object, to complete the key. Such numbers are e.g. order numbers or material master numbers.

to check u can go with this link also

2.validate :- by using match code objects.

display :- Parameters for spfli-carrid.

3.SY-SUBRC,SY-DBCNT,SY-LILLI,SY-DATUM,SY-UZEIT,SY-UCOMM,SY-TABIX.....

SY-LILLI IS ABSOLUTE NO OF LINES FROM WHICH THE EVENT WAS TRIGGERED.

4.CONVERSION : LEGACY SYSTEM TO FLAT FILE.
