limit size (in byte) of SELECT-OPTIONS in WHERE clauses

hi,

as far as I know there is a limit size (in byte) for SELECT-OPTIONS used in WHERE clauses. Is it true? What is the limit? If the SELECT-OPTIONS is based on lifnr (character type, 10 long) is the following calculation valid?

sign - 1 byte

option - 2 bytes

low - 10 bytes

high - 10 bytes

23 bytes all together for one line, is this valid?

thanks

ec

Hi

have you read the abaphelp for selection-screen.

In 4.6c there is a size limit 132 chars scrolleable and 45 in display

for parameters. <b>There's also a size limit for select-options (45 and 18

in this case).</b>

I think that you'd have to create a dynpro to read that value. (But I

don't know about higher versions of sap).
