Challenges

First we must learn techniques to draw checkboxes on the screen.

Then we must learn techniques to loop through each of the lines on the report and determine whether or not they were checked.

READ LINE 1.. checked? YES READ LINE 2.. checked? YES

or NO or NO

READ LINE 3 .. checked? YES or NO READ LINE n .. checked? YES

Coding Example Writing Checkboxes to the Screen

REPORT Y190XX03 LINE-SIZE 255. TABLES: LFA1. DATA: CHK1.

Create a single-character variable.

START-OF-SELECTION. SELECT * SELECT * FROM LFA1 WHERE TELF1 <> SPACE. WRITE: / CHK1 AS CHECKBOX, LFA1-LIFNR, LFA1-NAME1, LFA1-ORT01. SKIP. Then WRITE it to the ENDSELECT.
CHECK SY-SUBRC
