The number you report is the list identifier. You need to use SCL list processing functions to access the selected item's value: dcl char(40) itemValue; do i=1 to listlen(listbox.selectedItems); itemValue=getitemc(listbox.selectedItems,i); end; If there is only a single selection, the selectedItem (singular) attribute is a character value. -Randy -----Original Message----- From: SAS(r) Discussion [mailto:SAS-L(a)LISTSERV.UGA.EDU] On Behalf Of Murphy Choy Sent: Wednesday, December 02, 2009 7:26 AM To: SAS-L(a)LISTSERV.UGA.EDU Subject: Sas/af multiple select list box problem Hi, I was trying out af and came across this problem with the multi select list box.
