GET CURSOR - Liste
Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54
Syntax
GET CURSOR { {FIELD field [field_properties]}
| {LINE line [line_properties]} }.
Effect
If this statement is specified during list processing, it will transfer - depending on the specification
of FIELD or LINE - the name of the output field
or the number of the list line on which the screen cusor in the currently displayed list is positioned
(after the user action) into the variables field or line.
For field, a character-type variable is expected; for line,
a variable of the type i is expected. With the additions
field_properties and line_properties, further information on the cursor position can be imported.
With the FIELD addition, only the names of global data objects of the ABAP
program can be determined. If the cursor is positioned on the output of a data object that is not visible
in the current context or a literal, field will be initialized. The latter has no influence on the other additions or on sy-subrc.
System Fields
| sy-subrc | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | The cursor is on a field or a list row and the statement was executed successfully. |
| 4 | The cursor is not on any field or any list row. |
Note
If the cursor is on the output area of a data object that was accessed in the WRITE
statement using a field symbol, the name of the data object is assigned and not the name of the field symbol.
