Catching Wildcard in select-option

[Former Member]

Hi,

How can I catch if the wildcard '*' only has been entered in a search-option on the selection screen?

So '123' is ok, '123' is ok, 'ABC' is also ok, however '' is not.

if s_lifnr-low co '*' .
write:/'error: you have entered only a *'.
else.
write:/ 'all ok'.
endif.

Thanks.

Hi

U need to check if there's a vlue after wildcard:

 TABLES: LFA1.

SELECT-OPTIONS SO_LIFNR FOR LFA1-LIFNR.

LOOP AT SO_LIFNR.
  IF SO_LIFNR-LOW(1) = '*'.
    IF SO_LIFNR-LOW+1 IS INITIAL.
      WRITE 'Error'.
    ENDIF.
  ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

if s_lifnr-sign = 'I'
  and s_lifnr-option = 'EQ'
  and s_lifnr-low = '*' .
write:/'error: you have entered only a *'.
else.
write:/ 'all ok'.
endif.

Hi Rich,

AFAIK wildcards are automatically marked as patterns, isnt't it?

loop at s_lifnr where option = 'CP'
                  and low = '*'.
message ...
endloop.

Kind regards,

Clemens
