Usually used for pop up screens. Many times, there is a need for user to enter additional information or secondary information on another screen or pop up screen. Once the user enters the data, he should be able to go back to main screen or to the screen where he started. This is not possible by using SET SCREEN. CALL SCREEN achieves this functionality.
Syntax
Call Screen 200.
Will simply call a screen number 200 from a main screen. Once the screen is displayed the user can enter all the data and return to the main screen by clicking BACK button.
To call screen as pop up screen the syntax is
Call screen starting at
Ending at
In this case window will be popped as window and user can close it by using BACK button.
Leave to screen
To SET a new screen without processing current screen, you need to use the following two statements together:
SET SCREEN 200.
LEAVE SCREEN.
Or a Single statement
LEAVE TO SCREEN 200.
Subscreens
A subscreen is a screen within screen. Consider the following case.
If user clicks on FIRST pushbutton, you want to display details of MARA table and if user clicks on the SECOND pushbutton, you want to display details of MARD table. You can do this by calling two different screens. But the information will be displayed on the next screen. Displaying data on the same screen is possible by using SUBSCREENS.
Step to create a subscreen are as follows:
• Create a subscreen area on MAIN screen and name it.
• Create a separate screen of subscreen type.
• Arrange the fields on this screen so that they fit in subscreen area exactly. Only when it is larger, the part of the screen that fits in the main area will be visible.
• Write code for calling subscreen in flow logic.
To call subscreen, from your flow logic, you need to include the statement both in PAI and PBO.
Syntax
PBO.
Call subscreen including
PAI.
Call subscreen .
Area - is the name of the area on main screen.
Prg. Name - is the name of the module pool program.
Screen number - is subscreen screen number.
Some of the don’ts with subscreen are:
GUI status cannot be set to the subscreen
• OKCODE is not applicable to the subscreen.
• Subscreen cannot call another screen.
• It cannot contain AT EXIT-COMMAND.
You can call multiple subscreen in the same area (at any given point of time, only one subscreen can be called in the subscreen area) and is done dynamically during runtime by using variable screen number.
