Effect:

Declares a parameter para of length len and creates a corresponding input field on the current selection screen.

Additions

• TYPE type [DECIMALS dec]
  Directly specifies the data type type, and determines the decimal places.
  
  
• LIKE dobj
  Specifies the data type with reference to a data object dobj.
  
  
• LIKE (name)
  Defines the data type as c with length 132, and displays the input field according to the type dynamically specified in name.
  
  
• OBLIGATORY
  Defines the input field as an obligatory field.
  
  
• NO-DISPLAY
  No input field is created on the selection screen.
  
  
• VISIBLE LENGTH vlen
  Sets the visible length of the input field to the value of vlen.
  
  
• AS CHECKBOX
  Creates the input field as a checkbox.
  
  
• RADIOBUTTON GROUP group
  Creates the input field as a radio button of the radio button group group.
  
  
• AS LISTBOX
  Generates a Dropdown list box for the input field.
  
  
• USER-COMMAND fcode
  Links the input field to a function code.
  
  
• MODIF ID modid
  Assigns the input field to the modification group modid.
  
  
• DEFAULT val
  Determines a start value val for the content of the parameter.
  
  
• LOWER CASE
  Prevents the conversion of the content of character-type fields to upper case during transfer between the input field and the data object.
  
  
• MATCHCODE OBJECT search_help
  Links the input field to a search help search_help from the ABAP Dictionary.
  
  
• MEMORY ID pid
  Links the input field to the SPA/GPA parameter pid in the SAP Memory.
  
  
• VALUE CHECK
  Checks the input value against type-specific requirements in the ABAP Dictionary.
  
  
• FOR {TABLE|NODE} node
  Assigns parameters in a logical database to a node node of the corresponding structure.
  
  
• [HELP-REQUEST] [VALUE-REQUEST]
  Enable self-defined field help and input help in logical databases for the input field.
  
  
• AS SEARCH PATTERN
  Enables evaluation of a search help in logical databases.
