Issue in passing select option as method parameter

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have written one common validation method for all select-options in selection-screen.

Which will be called for every select option validation.

I will pass s_vkorg, s_vtweg, s_abgru etc.. for each of the validations.

In the method i have created structrure & table type for the im_sel_scr_field.

This zsel_field structure is created with sign(char1), option(char2), low(45), high(45) field values.

zsel_field_tt (Table type for zsel_field structure).

Now when i am calling validation method as below, i am getting 'type compatible' error.

If i can create i.table of above structure: zsel_field i can pass the sel-opt value to i.table to avoid this error.

But i need to do this for each select option.

Z_Meth

Method

EXPORTING

im_sel_scr_field = s_vkorg[]/s_abgru[] etc...

Note: I don't want to create structure/table type for each select option.

I want to make s_vkorg[], s_abgru[] etc... passed without type-compatibale error.

Can anyone provide input for resolving this issue!

Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

Kumar.

Hi,

The structure of Sel option is as:

SIGN C(1)

OPTION C(2)

LOW C(10)

HIGH C(10)

Use the same in your method.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I will get same error message 'Not Type compatible' as LOW/HIGH are Char(10) but s_vkorg will have Char4 & s_abgru will have char2.

I want to make it work for all different lengths of select options.

Thanks,

Hi,

All of them are select options at database level.It shouldnt be a problem.Please paste teh code where you are calling the method and passing the same.Also please show the method definition.

Hi,

Thanks for your replies.

I am calling my validation code in below way currently:

DATA: gt_sel_field TYPE TABLE OF z_sel_field,

  gt_sel_field[] = s_vkorg[].

  CALL METHOD zcl_validation=>z_sel_scr_validation
    EXPORTING
*      im_param         = ''
      im_sel_field = gt_sel_field[]
*      im_sel_field = s_vkorg[].

z_sel_field is a structure with fields: sign(char1), option(char2), low(char45), high(char45).

My method (z_sel_scr_validation) in class created with below parameters:

IM_PARAM TYPE string. (optional)
IM_sel_field TYPE z_sel_field_tt, (optional)

z_sel_field_tt refers to z_sel_field structure.

In method i will validate select option (or) parameter based on user input (Have all the logic to validate against check table etc..).

In above method call i am using gt_sel_field[] but i want to use s_vkorg[], s_abgru[] etc... but they are not type compatiable

with table type (or) structure of z_sel_field. If i use gt_sel_field[] i need to declare it every time validation happens for each field.

How can i acheive this!

Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

Kumar.

As each of your select options are of different type (LOW and HIGH fields) you will keep raising this error. I don't think you can statically address parameter type which would be common to all your select options. Try then working with it dynamically by passing only reference to it

"definition
METHOD z_meth IMPORTING ref_sel_opt TYPE REF TO DATA.

"implementation
METHOD z_meth.
   field-symbols: <sel> type any table, <field> type any.

   assign ref_sel_opt->* to <sel>.
   if sy-subrc = 0.
   "validate the structure
     ASSIGN COMPONENT 'SIGN' of structure <sel> to <field>.
     if sy-subrc ne 0.
         "wrong structure raise some error
     endif.
 
    ASSIGN COMPONENT 'OPTION' of structure <sel> to <field>.
     if sy-subrc ne 0.
         "wrong structure raise some error
     endif.
 
    ASSIGN COMPONENT 'LOW' of structure <sel> to <field>.
     if sy-subrc ne 0.
         "wrong structure raise some error
     endif.
 
    ASSIGN COMPONENT 'HIGH' of structure <sel> to <field>.
     if sy-subrc ne 0.
         "wrong structure raise some error
     endif. 
   endif.

   "now work with <sel> as the structure is correct
ENDMETHOD.

"client
data ref_sel type ref to data.
get reference of s_opt1[] into ref_sel.
CALL METHOD ...z_meth EXPORTING ref_sel.

get reference of s_opt2[] into ref_sel.
CALL METHOD ...z_meth EXPORTING ref_sel.

get reference of s_opt3[] into ref_sel.
CALL METHOD ...z_meth EXPORTING ref_sel.

Hi,

Try with below code...

select-options:

s_var1 for im_sel_scr_field,

s_var2 for im_sel_scr_field,

s_var3 for im_sel_scr_field,

s_var4 for im_sel_scr_field.

because you are maintining all select opt fields are characters. so according to that based on 'im_sel_scr_field' attribute data type we can follow to assign type to select options.

Now you can pass select option values to the respective method as well.
