"Long" read only text on selection screen

I need to display some information for the user on my selection screen.

Best way would be directly on the screen, so no pop-ups. I tried to use parameters with default value and read only but the length is limited.

Is there a way to get an information text on the selection screen which is a bit longer?

Try a text edit control. Class CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT or check the sample reports SAPTEXTEDIT_DEMO_1 etc. - andrecito

Maybe SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT would be of any use?

Here is an example.

REPORT zzz.

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK BLCK1 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-001.
PARAMETERS: p_p1 TYPE i.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT /10(79) value.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT /1(79) value1.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT /1(79) value2.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK BLCK1.

INITIALIZATION.
  value = `This is`.
  value1 = `a comment to the user`.
  value2 = `This comment line is much much much much much much much longer than 79 characters.`.

There is a limit of 79 characters per line though.
