In range we will not get the selection screen.



In select-option will generate selection screen.

in ranges user has to maintian internal table explicitly where as in select-options system automatically defines internal table and the name of itab is nothing but the variable used in the select options.ex: select-options: vendor for lfa1-lifnt..system implicitly creates itab name vendor with fields : high,low,option,sign.i think my awnser is clear.all the best

In SELECT-OPTIONS we can specify the data range at RUNTIME...

but in RANGES its EXPLICITLY given by the programer...

there is no selection screen will appear in runtime

Hi friend,

  Let me explain in simple words...

  Ranges and Selection-Options are technically have the same structure.  But the difference is select-options get displayed on the selection-screen, where user can input range of values but ranges have to be assigned with in the program. 

  Ranges mainly used when you call some other program by using SUBMIT statement.  When you call a program dynamically you should supply selection parameters to that program.  So suppose if the called program is having select-options then you can pass ranges of the calling program.

Range and Select-options both provides the range for the input. There is a difference B/T both.

Range: While using range we need to provide the range parameters explicity in the program.By which it gives the output.

Select-options: This is a advanced version of ranges. An internal table will be generated when you provide this options with four fields called Low-High-Sign-Option. Through which it gives us the selection screen after we execute the program to enter the input.
