Ter 16 - Screen Modifications and Screen Flow Events

The document discusses dynamic screen modifications in ABAP including modifying field attributes using the SCREEN internal table. It also covers using a mirror image work area to avoid updating unchanged records and coding the PROCESS ON HELP-REQUEST and PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST events to display F1 and F4 help for fields.

Dynamic Screen Modification (3)


Each field on a
screen has a set of
attributes that are
fixed when you
define the screen in
the Screen Painter.
When an ABAP
program is running,
a subset of the
attributes of each
screen field can be
addressed using the
system table
SCREEN.

Summary
You can dynamically modify a screen. More specifically, screen field attributes
can be temporarily modified during the execution of an online program.
To dynamically modify field attributes, use the SCREEN internal table
maintained by the system for each screen.
A mirror image is created with the ABAP statement: TABLES *<database
table>. The work area created with this statement is identical in structure to the
one created with the TABLES <database table> statement.
The Process on Help-Request event is triggered when the user presses the F1
key.
The Process on Value-Request event is triggered when the user presses the F4
key.
