Syntax
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF SCREEN dynnr [TITLE title]
[AS WINDOW].
...
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF SCREEN dynnr.
Extras
1. ... TITLE title
2. ... AS WINDOW
Effect
These statements can be executed in the global declaration section of executable programs, function groups, and module pools. You create a stand-alone
selection screen with the
screen number dynnr. You must specify the screen number directly and it must comprise a maximum of four digits.
All the PARAMETERS,
SELECT-OPTIONS, and
SELECTION-SCREEN statements that are executed within these statements define the screen elements
for the stand-alone selection screen. You cannot define a further selection screen within the definition of a selection screen.
Addition 1
... TITLE title
Effect
You can use the TITLE addition to define a title for the title bar of your
stand-alone selection screen. For the title, you can either specify a name of your choice with a maximum
of 8 characters or the name of a text symbol from the program in the form text-idf,
where idf is the three-character ID of the text symbol. If you specify a name of your choice, the runtime
environment generates a type c global variant of the same name and 70 characters
in length. When the selection screen is displayed, the first 70 characters of the text symbol or global
variants are displayed in the title bar. If the specified text symbol is not found, the name of the
text symbol is displayed as the title in the form "TEXT-idf". If the TITLE addition is not specified, the system uses the title of the program defined in the
program attributes.
Addition 2
... AS WINDOW
Effect
You can use the AS WINDOW addition to define a stand-alone selection screen
for display in a modal dialog box. The actual shape of the window is not defined until it is accessed
by CALL SELECTION-SCREEN. The AS WINDOW addition also displays
warnings and
error messages that occur during processing of a
selection screen event as a modal dialog box.
Note
The specified screen number dynnr must not already be assigned to existing screens or selection screens. You should also note that the number 1000 for the
standard selection screen cannot be used for a stand-alone selection screen in an executable program.
