1) select w/start , 

2) select w/end ... 

 

The screen shot, is to decide the 'attributes of the infotype' and your query is related to 'how infotype records are displayed' when you use TCode PA30. With this background, let us see the various options.  

1) With start date (options in SPRO are 3 or 4): This is applicable if you are selecting 'display' in PA30, with only the 'start date' entered in the 'period' selection field. 

a) Option 3: Only the record valid on the entered date will be displayed. Therefore, for IT0002 with time constraint 1, you will be able to see only one record. (you will not be able to use 'next record' or 'previous record' buttons). 

b) Option 4: All records valid between the entered date and the CPU date will be displayed. (You will be able to use 'next record' or 'previous record' buttons to switch between records).  

2) With end date (options in SPRO is 5): This is applicable if you are selecting 'display' in PA30, with both 'start date' and 'end date' entered in the 'period' selection field. Here, all records valid on at least one day in the selected period will be shown.  (Please note that you will be able to see the record, even if the end date of the record is outside the selected period). 

3) Without any date (options in SPRO is 1 or 2): This is applicable if you are selecting 'display' in PA30, without entering any date in the 'period' selection field 

a) Option 1: All valid records will be shown.  

(You will be able to use 'next record' or 'previous record' buttons). 

b) Option 4: All records valid between the the CPU date and end date will be displayed.
