Syntax

SUPPRESS DIALOG. 

Effect

If this statement is specified during PBO processing, the current dynpro is processed without displaying the screen, while the screen of the previous dynpro remains visible. After PBO processing, the system triggers the event PAI in such as way, as if a user had pressed Enter. The function code assigned to this key in the current GUI status is then transported to sy-ucomm and to the OK field. Outside of PBO processing, this statement has no effect.

If during PAI processing with the statement MESSAGE, either a termination message, error message, information message, or a warning is sent, the screen of the current dynpro is displayed together with the message.

Example
