GET CURSOR - Dynpro
Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54
Syntax
GET CURSOR { { FIELD field [field_properties] }
| { LINE line } }.
Effect
If this statement is specified during PAI
processing, depending on the specification for FIELD or LINE, it transfers either the name of the screen element or the number of the row of a
table control or of the group of a
step loop (on which the screen
cursor is positioned after a user action) into the data objects field or
line. For field, a character-type variable is
expected. For line, a variable of the type i is
expected. In field_properties, further properties of the screen element can be defined.
If the cursor is in the command field of the standard toolbar or on a pushbutton in the
screen, the statement is ignored and the specified variables remain unchanged. If the cursor in the first variant is not in a screen element of the current
screen but on a bar in the GUI
status, the contents of field and the variables specified in
field_properties are initialized. If the cursor in the second variant
is not on a screen element that is part of a table control or a step loop, the variable line is initialized.
